[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ksubedi:
Hey Guys, just finished playing around with the kitchen and made a simple modification to the default espresso ROM. Unlike other Roms, this ROM does not have a lots of kernel level modifications, and lots of changes. But this ROM is just the default Rom that came with your shipped myTouch 3G Slide, except that this ROM does not have all the bloat-ware that make your phone slow and laggy. The followings features are included:

Features

======

Espresso UI

Busy-box

Rooted

SuperUser

NANO Editor

Deodexed APK Files

100% Stable (Think of it as your default rom)

Nothing that does not work.

Flash player

Cool Boot animation (Who likes that crappy tmobile boot animation? )

Eclair (2.1) [Tried Everything To Use Froyo And Make It Stable, No Luck, But I Don't Think There Is A Lots Of Stuffs Missing In Eclair)

Some Other Stuff

Removed Stuff

==========

All Crapware

HTC PDF Reader (Use Adobe Reader From Market)

HTC Twitter Client

Stocks

Stocks Widget

Tmobile Visual Voicemail (Get It From Market If Needed)

Tmobile My Account (Same as above)

Amazon MP3

AppPack Tmobile

All other crapware that makes your phone laggy.

As far as i know, there is nothing that doesn't work (Played it with for few days to see if something is wrong). Proximity sensor, wifi, bluetooth, keyboard, all the keys, touch screen, and almost everything works perfectly. Please let me know if something doesnt work.

How to install

=========

First root your phone using this method or this method.

Then put the zip file in your sd card and go to clockwork recovery. Then just install the zip file as you would do with every other rom.

If you dont get what i am saying, check this.

Please let me know if something does not work. THanks :D

[I am not an android developer,just a simple guy [and a bit of java programmer] :p]

I dont think Tmobile is going to give us Froyo within this Dec 15th as rumored by a lots of sites. But for now, lets stay happy with eclair and lets hope they will send the updates soon.

Download ROM

GUYS, PLEASE DONT DOWNLOAD OR LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT THIS ROM BECAUSE THIS WASNT MEANT TO BE A ROM THAT EVERYONE SHOULD USE, I MADE IT FOR MY OWN PERSONAL USE AND JUST WANTED TO SHARE HERE SO THAT AT LEAST SOMEONE MIGHT BE SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. MODS --> IF YOU THINK THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE OR SHOULD NOT BE HERE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEE THIS THREAD IN THRASH FORUM (DELETED)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rapidfire224:
i do believe eclair is 2.1 not 2.2. :p

2.2 = froyo
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ksubedi:
Thanks for reminding. Updated :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yjopen:
what is the oringinal Rom which you modified?

can you give some clarification?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ksubedi:
I used the factory shipped espresso ESPRIMG.ZIP file and modified it. :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] PcFish:
Awesome.

Reminds me of Slidemeroot5 minus the apps2ext.

What's nano editor, a text editor?

I think Fenix made a rom similar to this. Using 1.35 deodexing it, etc
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Uhhh...

...why didn't you use the OTA zip instead to make this barebones rom?

If you're going to be running stock Eclair, you might as well be using the latest version if it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ksubedi:
Yeap :D nano is a terminal text editor. That means that if you want to edit some config file or text file in recovery mode or somewhere using adb shell, you can :D [I think it is better than vi] :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
What kitchen were you using? Rom looks promising! Also what firmware is this? The original firmware that cane with old slides or newer teaser firmware that comes with newer slides? Also would you like a2ext support put into the rom?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ksubedi:
Yeap it is the latest ESPRIMG.ZIP leaked somewhere. This is the latest ota recompiled into a unrooted ESPRIMG.zip with htc's factory signatures [was leaked from someone in htc developers team] :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ksubedi:
This is the new one as stated above. I used this kitchen. Enjoy!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Do you have a link for this leaked ESPRIMG that contained the OTA-updated version of stock Espresso? I'm a wee bit skeptical at this point.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ksubedi:
Here you go --->>> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=713507
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
That's not an OTA rom...

THIS is an OTA rom.

OTA brought the retail system (1.27.531) to 1.35.531 and updated the radio as well. If you're linking me to the correct Espresso zip that you used, you've based you rom on outdated system software.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Has someone flashed this that can check their About this Phone section of settings to see which system version this is?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ksubedi:
That is the latest we can use, because the latest ota does not allow flashing unsigned packages, so even clockworkmod wont work there. but you can always install the rom first and install the update.zip for the new ota (that is if you find one) . good luck :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Uhhhh, yeah... That makes no sense. If ChiefzReloaded can make a rooted OTA-based rom, so can you. There's absolutely nothing preventing that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ksubedi:
oh well then, i think i should try... i think he modified the ota ...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] erktheerk:
Fast and functional. I'm thankful for a new rom to use. Outdated is not an issue. I still load donut on people's G1's when they want stable root. Either way thanks for contributing....I could live without the negative comments.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Perhaps that is because the G1 never had a stock rom beyond donut...?

Pointing out that the starting-point of this rom is outdated and potentially buggy is hardly a negative comment. It's a statement of fact that isn't mentioned anywhere in the first post. People should be aware of what they are flashing.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] guitarist5122:
Why make this rom when it already exists? This is the same thing as chiefzreloaded's ota rom is it not?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
No this isn't the same. This one isn't updated with the latest ota.

I knew things were going slow for the Slide but with this thread/Rom things seem to be going backwards :confused:

Ksubedi-

I think it is great that you are trying to contribute, but what I dont understand why you would post a pre-ota rom with all the bloatware removed. Why wouldnt you just remove the bloatware out of Cr's ota rom. Then you would have a current stock rom minus the bloatware.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
^^^

This

It's always nice to see people learning how to "cook" up roms, especially when their work is intended for the Espresso device, but before releasing your work you should always do a little research.

Ask yourself these questions...

1) Am I basing this work off the latest "source?"

2) Has someone else released something similar to this?

3) Is there any way to actively develop and improve on this work once it's released?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ksubedi:
Thanks for your suggestions everyone, i am soon going to release a new rom keeping your things in mind. Cheers!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jdunigan07:
this rom is Stock garbage
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dirtymindedx:
add app2ext and then we will talk. Look at Reloaded v1 for expresso.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] arayray:
I'm sorry but I think he has no clue what he is doing.... my 2 cents
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Why is everyone so mean...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
Dammit! I swear, this is the third time I thank someone instead of quoting them.

Anyways,

No one is being mean. We're all adults here, right? We can take criticism maturely (hopefully).

This ROM brought nothing new, and was based on outdated software.

How many "Stock minus bloatware" ROMs do we have now? 4?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ksubedi:
your two cents???
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] archie53:
Someone is actually trying to make something, and yes he used old software, but quit breaking his balls so bad at least he is trying to do something. Most devs are gone and someone is trying to learn and make something and some people here are all over hime for using old software. If you haven't made a ROM, or contributed something to one then leave the guy alone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ksubedi:
Thanks...that made me feel better.... :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] archie53:
No problem. I have 3 kids and no free time so all ican do is use what others make and give a donation when I can. Keep on cooking up some tasty ROMs.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
CR_mod_OTA is one of my favorite roms. It is, however, full of bloatware.

Stock + no bloatware isn't exactly a bad thing. Not that I'd use this rom anyways, but the attitude towards this guy seems more like "you suck and are stupid" rather than "thanks, but no thanks".

Just sayin'.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Also, the Thanks meter/option doesn't even show up on the yellow theme. I had to switch to the 2010 theme to even see it. I miss the yellow, going back. Unless I need to thank someone, I'll switch back.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
I secont this...all the other developers who got a better phone straight up and left the espresso for dead...and they call them selves developers...im no one to judge and i love what xda and the devs have done to my phone..but its like lebron leaving the cavs...he still a bomb ass b-ball player..he just lost respect :)

yes we are all adults but we should be happy people are at least tryn to keep this phone development alive :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
That's not true. I have a Glacier and I am still here trying to do a few things for the slide. I am plenty happy to see other people trying there hand at cooking. Just wish it was with a updated rom/software. Maybe try and do a little themeing or something like that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Just have to point out that *this* isn't development. It's kanging.

Cooking up a rom without doing any compiling of your own doesn't a developer make.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
no bad feelings :)..i thank you for tryn to keep this phone alive...coming from an original mt3g to this and finding out the mt3g had more roms/kernels/mods was kinda disappointing but ehh ill live with it...hope fully the nexus s or mt4g have alot more developing goin on cuz thats my next step ^.^

ummm what dev hasnt usd other devs ideas/roms to cook up their own rom.... hence the term "developing" ... everyone has done it..this guy is no different..and personally i prefer roms w/o all the bloatware.. so if a good rom comes out and it has all the bloatware then another dev makes the same rom with out the bloatware..guess which rom im choosin??? yeah the one with out bloatware...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
This isn't about ideas. This is about source.

#teamdouche *developed* CM6 for the espresso. They take source from AOSP and HTC, add in additional features from other open source projects, and compile actual unique roms. They do not use a rom kitchen to "bake up" subsets or supersets of existing projects. Again, that is kanging.

It's always nice to see people working on projects for the espresso, but to call this particular project "development" is simply ridiculous. Every change in this rom can be made to ChiefzReloaded's OTA rom using ADB and downloading apps from the Android Market.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
like i said if someone is willing to put the time into doin this for us... i give him props.. this is s website is bout contribution and ideas... leave the cat alone.. hes tryn to make moves and i respect his huslte.. #NuffSaid lmao
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
oh and mr HebrewToYou... how many ROMS have you developed?? or at least "cooked" ??? umm none right???

either have something nice to say or dont pop in in a thread with negative remarks ....

when you have something developed or something big to contribute.. then ill respect ur word...but for right now u sound really imature..and more of a freeloader with nothing to say but bad things....

say something nice or dont say nothing at all

and i think i speak for alot of people whan i say that

#JustSayin :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
LOL

A freeloader you say?

When the Slide was first rooted I was one of the people helping to document just what was safe to remove from Stock espresso. I put together several barebones zips that I used myself but had no reason to distribute. Why? Because it had already been done (by Eugene via SlideM series) and because it was trivial for someone to do on their own.

I also have personally walked a nontrivial number of people through the rooting/engineering downgrade/radio update process via the #mytouchslide IRC room, where most (if not all) actual development discussion occurs outside of #teamdouche.

And, to top it off, I'm one of the very few Espresso owners contributing to issue tracking CM6.

So, with all due respect, you have no idea what you're talking about.

This rom is a kang and it's using outdated stock software as its framework. This guy's other rom is a kang of CM6 that brings absolutely nothing new to the table as well. If this is the sort of [non]development that you think XDA needs, by all means keep encouraging it.

But I'm firmly of the opinion that this stuff simply makes searching for *useful* material on XDA all the more difficult.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
Hey OP thanks for dropping this ROM ... though it really doesn't suit me. Chiefz made one sweet version of stock ROM with OTA. Maybe you'd consider cooking/editing his ROM?

This is a good discussion ... there is such a big difference between a chef and a developer. This is the development section folks, people are going to call you out if anything seems off or out of place with a ROM. We have to be honest with our feedback as that is the only way we can refine our knowlege.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
yeah.. my picutre may say "be nice or leave" but we have to be real about it, your intentions are nothing but to contribute with this ROM and thats fine BUT you need check before you share something like this... its just too old to be new xD

You get an A for effort...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
lmao been there done that with the g1/mytouch...**** i even date back into putting themes in sidekicks and making them...

so ur a bug tracker

-millions of those

u barebone roms

-um thats what this guy is doin LMFAO @ U!!!

so what if he didnt bring anything new

-a lot of poeple prefer donut roms on their g1s them having froyo

simply for speed room and smoothness

so learn ur ****... before you speak that is ;)

what you just listed everyone..well id say a good 80% of the people do already

so slow ur roll down cuz ur just as ordinary as me:)

no hard feelings but people like you is the reason eugene stopped developing
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
HA! Eugene hasn't stopped, he moved on to the Vibrant.

And trust me, Hebrew has helped many many people, including myself, and understands a great deal about Android. A lot more than OP. Not meaning to knock OP, it's cool you're trying and all, but popping a ROM into the kitchen and removing a few .apk files is not only ridiculously easy, but not at all development, and doesn't at all warrant a release on XDA.

We already have 4 (5?) barebones espresso ROMs. This one not only brought nothing new, but was based on the initial stock ROM, not the OTA one.

You can't compare running Donut or Froyo on a G1 to running our initial ROM or our OTA ROM. Seriously, that's irrelevant.

Froyo was not meant for the G1. That doesn't mean the G1 can't run it, but it's obviously not going to run as well as a less resource intensive build, such as Donut.

The difference between our stock ROM and the OTA rom was simply bug fixes, and lots of them. Why release (ANOTHER) espresso minus bloatware ROM, that is not only bringing nothing new, but based on a version of Espresso from before T-Mo really got into working out the kinks?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
this aint bout the development its about the the trash talkin....

if you aint got something nice to say dont say **** plain n simple

lol

the guys is tryn regardless is its nothing new

dont give the dude a bad time

if this is one of the many stripped roms on here

simply move on to the next thread lmfao

talkin **** about someones work doesnt make yours more valuable

like i said ive done all that ****

matter of fact i live in phoenix az

i posted up "ill root ur phone"

ive rooted 100s of phones with that ad

so like i said hes no different then me

know **** dont give me the right to put down others efforts is all im saying

and yes eugene did leave certain rom development cuz of ungreatful

people

#nuffsaid lmfao
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Okay, well maybe some people don't want new, so what is it to you, me, or anyone else? Anyone ever consider that CR_OTA is just stock with a specific kernel? and with bloatware?

Some people may be fine with stock original that runs clean and is not cluttered. Maybe that's what they want.

ksubedi, this rom isn't for most of the people here, but it was worth a try and the fact that you tried something is far better than the people who don't come up with anything at all and gripe about everyone elses work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
thats practically what i said, or at least that was my point... damn it, you people are too sensitive...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
I was agreeing with you.

but what do you mean by "you people"?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] etu_aty:
have you seen whats going on in these threads lately? is flame wars everywhere and mostly for little comments that have nothing to do with the OP xD i dont know whats going on. you people = slide owners/devs
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Now I'm getting blamed for Eugene wanting a Samsung Galaxy S phone over the [poorly-supported by HTC/T-Mobile] Slide? Amazing! The ignorance on display by so many in this thread is staggering.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] archie53:
This thread has gone way off course. All I was tring to say is maybe the people that jumped all over this guy for trying something should try to be alittle nicer. At one point you were learning or trying to learn how to do things with ROMs. We shouldn't bash people for trying to learn, if we do there will be noone there to make things or improve things. Other People or the OP may look at this and think twice before trying to do anything for fear that "some ass" will jump all over them.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Before you try you should *always* do research. This rom is a perfect example of jumping before looking. This rom-chef could have popped over to IRC and asked for help/suggestions/insight; or simply searched the forum to see if there was a newer version of the system software available.

Did that happen? No. So don't be surprised when you see criticism for adding an outdated and useless rom to an already full-of-#fail forum.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Yes you are.

I'm done with the childish behavior on xda. Holy hell, I'm 15, and I feel like I'm so much older than all of you. Now commenting negatively on a ROM is bad because you might hurt someone's feelings?

What is this, a day care?

That's it. I'm done with XDA. If anyone needs to contact me, you can find me in #mytouchslide on irc.freenode.net

Also, on twitter @migueltherocker

Thanks for being the community that got me started with android. Hate to leave, but this forum and the people on it (mostly the new guys. The people who were initially on here such as HebrewToYou, fermunky, and sever others have been nothing but helpful) are simply ridiculous.

Goodbye.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
I love this phone. I am bitter about the state of development with this phone. I don't blame chefs or developers for the slow progress as it is simply not their fault. I think the reason this ROM stirred the community is because it really brings nothing new to ROM development/cooking for this phone. Its like salt in a festering wound for those desperate for true development (adding to or enhancing what we already have available). The Slide forum grows more tense the longer that the stock 2.2 OTA (and any precious code/upgrades/insights that may help further development) fails to materialize. I think its time for me to get a new phone ... but this will be a GREAT backup phone.

OP ... I do appreciate your efforts. Thank you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] erktheerk:
Sorry to hear that. Nexus S is calling my name. Android is like my train set you always see some dad building in the basement on movies and TV. The slide just isnt providing that daily excitement the way it used to.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I completely agree with you. I think one of the problems was that shortly after the slide came out Tmobile released the vibrant and now they have several phones that have better specs. I, much like you really like my Slide. I have a MT4G and it is sick but I still like my Slide too. I think it performs pretty well for what it is. Hopefully Tmobile will get us that froyo ota update soon.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] thronka:
Agreed on the release swamping the slide. Honestly I am very happy with it. With the ease of modding and rooting the unit - why would I go to a vibrant? I am partial to HTC anyway.

Also, FYI - I saw the OTA is now available. I am resurrecting this thread for the OP (as this is a sweet sense modification to remove the crud) as I want to see him go ahead and use the new OTA (CR_Mod with new OTA Is out) and do the same with it.

Sent a PM to see what he is going to do but not a reply yet. Hopefully soon!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] monkeybone12:
Tossed this on my buddys expresso. Very nice! Smooth.

OK I am sorry if this has been answered but I couldn't find it. I have DJ05 and the Stupidfast kernel. I know it has a custom boot screen but it doesnt show up. I think i am supposed to have a bootanimation.zip in the system folder but I cant figure out how.

Thanks for the help.

For some reason custom Bootanimations are not working in Stupidfast 1.95. Seeing the Verizon logo on bootup made me throw up a little in my month.
