[Q] Where do I get Froyo for MyTouch Slide??

I couldnt be anymore of a beginner at this stuff! Found a pretty thorough vid on how to root so I feel I have that part down. The only thing I cant seem to find a straight answer on is where do I download Froyo?? The rooting method I found I want to use seems to require you to install the new rom right after but I need to get it first. I dont want anything special, just the basic official Froyo for the Tmobile MyTouch 3G Slide. Where do i find it? :-(

Quoted from the CR Mod thread in the development section. (Stock Froyo OTA). If you need further support with the rom please see that thread. It is close to the top.
This >>> CR_Mod_2.13.531.1_OTA
If you live in the dark after my little rants from the other threads its a ROM based off the patch set from T-Mobile's official (unreleased) Espresso 2.2.1 update OTA with all patches from 1.18, 1.27, 1.35, 1.35.531.3, and 2.13 applied. It is rooted and de-odexed but otherwise stock. It has the old market but it updated for me within 5 minutes of signing in. It has LWPs capability in Sense, apps2sd, and the newest radio as it is required for the Kineto features (WIFI calling) etc. I'm spent and need to get some rest.... Have fun guys... CR

You dont want gingerbread? Thats available for the slide fyi
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

i dont know anything about either really. They both seem to have come out at the same time. Im hearing Gingerbread isnt officially out yet but I dont know.
Tried to do the rooting thing today and everything i downloaded for it, i was told i had to download something else for it to work. I barely got started and just frustrated with it. Doubt ill be doing anything now and just live with what I have. Its all just over my head

I feel ya on the "over my head". When i first started rooting (G1) it was trial and error and the slide is much more difficult than the G1 to root. But thats what it is, if your not a computer savvy guy, just trial and error. Depends how bad you want control over what your phone can do.

Will not reboot after installing Viper

Hi all,
Hopefully this is quick -- i did search several threads but didn't find a solution to this issue.
installed Samsung drivers
I rooted my Epic with noobnls - oneclick 2.5.5
updated PIT and modem with Odin
got to the clockworkmod screen
downloaded ViperROM__FRoZeN__EXT4-RFS_Dual_DK28_4.0.3
to the SD.
Wiped data and cache 3x,
installed Viper zip from the SD - successful.
went to reboot and ......
all i get is a phone symbol ..caution sign....PC symbol (some kind of connection to PC error)
I did a wipe and reinstalled Viper - same thing.
any ideas - I'm hoping this is a simple fix so I don't have break this down to stock and try it all over.
Thanks in advance.
PS- hate samsung and sprint for stalling out on a minor update and leaving this phone in the back closet.

Those symbols mean use odin
I think best thing for u t do is odin to stock and get ota froyo
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

yeah - trying to get it back to stock Odin
not sure on why I should do ota froyo since it doesn't exist yet.
plenty of stable ROMs.
it was all good up until the reboot after installing Viper.
then blah.
I'll just keep working on it.

I meant get it on monday
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

get it on Monday -- haha.
it's not coming out. another rumor based on nothing. If it was coming out - you would think that one of those douchbag companies would have put something official out - b/c they both taken a lot of crap for the delay. Unless they want it to be a big surprise - but I'm guessing they aren't announcing anything b/c at the last second - they'll pull it again for more "testing" ie adding more bloatware/useless crapps.
i made up my mind -- going to custom froyo instead of stock -
btw - got it back to stock and will try Viper again tonight or tomorrow.

same rumors about it being released after Christmas - so I'll still take it with a grain of salt - maybe it happens, maybe it doesn't.
Again, if it does come out - it is going to be some crap version poked and proded by Samsung and then approved by Sprint missing the good stuff but full of junk - so I'm gonna skip it anyway.

Dude, what are you talking about? There have been multiple confirmed sources that the OTA update is in fact rolling out on Monday.

To address your issue, not to insult you, but when you say you got it back to stock to you mean stock dk28 or stock DI18? The viper rom you chose is only compatible with dk28. But again, no real reason to deal with dk28's bugs when official froyo is right around the corner

I don't care how many times Sprint or Samsung say "it's coming soon" - until it actually goes OTA - it doesn't count. They've been jerking people around for 6 months and are already 2 updates behind.
I got it back to DI18 using Odin and just reset the whole thing. I was under the impression that DK28 was pretty stable.
thanks for the insight.

This is the first time that sprint has announced a date.

This. The last the last time we had an "official date" from sprint it was leaked unofficial info that turned out to be wrong. This time, Sprint has put notice up in several places, included the authorized service center news for all of their indirect retailers (non-corporate stores and kiosks). Unless something major happens, we're actually getting it this time.

[ROM]3.25.2011 Continuum Clean (In Progress)

Ok, so normally I hate placeholders, but I'd like to give you guys an update of where I am at. Once I am finished tweaking, I will release. The base rom is done, now the modding and tweaking needs to happen.
So far:
--------------
Deodexed, Debloated, Debinged, and mostly, detouchwizzed. Debinged...even in the framework. I think* all Bing traces are gone now.
Visual voice mail gone, voice mail button in dialer opens Google Voice.
Verizon Wireless carrier banner replaced with something....better.
MMS app will not longer do multi-part messages, but instead convert to MMS automatically once the 160 character mark is hit.
GPS tweaked.

Wow in one day of having the phone you have a rom halfway competed

Wow, I can't wait for this even though we have had bad experiences with place holders, I know this isn't the case lol..
I don't know how many times I'm going to say thank you, but here is another thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App

along the lines of changes to the voicemail button.....it would be awesome if the ticker's voicemail icon could correspond to Google Voice...but I am sure that is a lot more involved than changing the button's link in the Dialer.
a similar desire exists for the sms icon to correspond to Handcent
I used titanium backup to remove the stock messaging app and that killed the ticker's SMS icon functionality....I saved the stock app to reinstall but that introduces a different problem....the ticker icon doesn't go away reliably after having read the text in Handcent.
maybe this thread wasn't intended for our wish list items.....if that is the case, I apologize.
thanks for your help to our little Continuum family!

thanks for the help here adryn! my wife has the continuum, and i got hers to load red recovery, and the other modded rom.
question on this rom you are building..will it have the bstats and fxpms scripts? are the ones for fascinate compatable with contunuum?

curious (warning - n00b question) - would it be possible to make the GV VM connection optional for those of us who don't use GV?
Also, what do you mean by GPS tweaked? The only thing i've noticed about mine is when i'm out geocaching with c:geo or using google maps to navigate while walking, sometimes the compass seems to be off by 180 degrees. when driving, google nav seems fine - likely since it can figure out direction based on previous locations in the same way it figures speed, but i don't walk fast enough for it to figure out direction - especially when geocaching since i'm always stopping to look for the cache.
all told - that's pretty impressive that you knocked out so much stuff in the short time you have had the phone! Thanks for your help with this device!
Any chance you have cracked open the ticker, or at least made it more useful to people who don't use the stock apps (that is... EVERYONE)?
One suggestion i saw somewhere (probably here) really interested me - put the notification area in the ticker screen and make it big enough to fill it, so you dont' have to try and hook into their custom ticker app - just use the existing system one, only relocated/resized. that way all system notifications (no matter what app they're from) will be visible in the ticker, all the time, as well as the time of day, and apps won't have to be custom-written to take advantage of the ticker; they'd just WORK.

I just can't wait till it is out I am looking forward to it

shoot - as long as it doesn't affect anything else, i'd take that over the annoying, noisy crap vzw put on there. is the shutdown screen also black/silent?

I don't have the phone right here handy atm but, I've already downloaded the Rom and alt browser. looking forward to flashing it to my boy's phone! I know he'll be happy too. One thing I love about these Android phones is how they give us the ability to have that "new phone" feeling any time we like, thanks to their rich development community. This is one thing the Continuum crowd has missed out on until now.

Why the lack of development for the Continuum?

I really think the phone has unexplored potential and its puzzling to see it neglected. Im also wondering if there is a way to improve the standalone GPS performance on this rig.

Where you would think the ticker would increase development, it has in fact slowed it.

We are at a freeze... Why do work on a soon to be outdated system when 2.2 its coming within the next month
What I suggest? I suggest emailing, calling, faxing, and whatever else to the main man HIMSELF...
ask Samsung if they can incorporate these features...
All of us have to do it though if we want anything done xP
I personally would want the ticker to lock itself when typing, because I constantly hit the weather icon xP

adrynalyne and imnuts have the phone...however as trailblazer said theres little point in putting significant time into 2.1 with 2.2 (theoretically) due any time
not that its the same as roms/kernels obviously...but i gave up updated the gb theme until 2.2 comes out

I'm busy with real life stuff, and among other things, and not everything is simple to do. My kernel source is on Github, feel free to download it and add in whatever you want. Submit a pull request and I'll add it into my tree then. https://github.com/imnuts

would it be correct to assume that once 2.2 comes out, more ROM's and whatnot will come out and developers will start working on this phone some more?

Yes and no. I doubt it will have the number of ROMs available that the Fascinate or most of the HTC phones have, but there will be more stuff going on. It's mostly pointless putting a ton of effort into Eclair stuff now when 2.1 is all but done, and the update is likely less than a month away.

^^^ this
but i think realistic expectations once froyo goes out is a clean/debloated rom with adryns tweaks, voodoo kernels from imnuts
and reboot options, a few themes, aosp lockscreen, remove clock from status bar mods, etc

Will the official update be an OTA update?

Yes, that's how Verizon rolls...

so...
its obvious now that samsung nor verizon have any interest in updating this phone. will people begin developing roms for it? or has everyone in fact returned or sold their phone. cause if so then why this phone listed on xda?

Verizon has not declared end of life on this phone. We will get the Froyo update and likely get Gingerbread as well.

Un-Rooted, And Holding Off Until The Update...

Had my SGSII for about 3 months now. Rooted the 1st week I brought it home. I've been flashing ROMs left and right, trying to find that certain one that best fits my lifestyle.
I've landed on the Darkside, and found my flavor there.
Because of "all this talk" about ICS, and only going (OTA) to unlocked un-rooted phones. I've successfully un-rooted, and went back to stock.
With all the benefits of having a phone rooted (nandroid backup, uninstalling bloatware), i ended up asking myself "WHY". Why do I really need to be rooted. The only time i ever do a nandroid backup is when I flash a new ROM. After much consideration, I ended realizing that the ONLY main reason I want my phone rooted is to re-place the Gmail.apk in the system's folder to a modded Gmail.apk - so I can put my unread count widget on my home screen.
Yeah yeah yeah.. i know there is a apk in the market named "Google Unread Count 2.0", but it doesn't read your unread count email in real-time. It takes a few minutes for the widget to update.
Other, than that there really is no pressing reason to have my phone rooted.
Now for the OTA update waiting game..

To each their own but there are many more reasons to root other than a Gmail.apk. If your waiting on an OTA ICS update you will be waiting awhile longer. But again to each their own.

I find it amusing that the only justifiable reason for you to root is a modded gmail
There are so many reasons to root it's not even a question of "why".
How about Carrier IQ? Or full control over Theming? Custom Kernels, build.prop, CWM Touch Recovery? You can't be serious about a gmail notification being the sole reason for rooting.
Oh and btw, if you haven't learned this yet, you may want to pay attention:
Once the update starts rolling out to the general public, the official version will be leaked on xda and you will be able to flash through CWM. I'm sure within days there will also be a rooted stock version as well. This will be well BEFORE you get the OTA.
So, if you want to give up control of your device just to wait longer for something that hasn't even officially been announced yet, more power to you. Say hi to Carrier IQ for me

Who said it's even coming to your phone, just because Samsung said it's now being sent OTA does NOT mean you will get it. The fact that you have a carrier branded phone means that Tmobile will get it's hands on it first then do it's wonderful (sarcasm) magic and bloat it with there apps like Tmobile TV and so on. Then IF they choose to make it available they will send it there's NO time frame on that. All I have to do it's point out the Tmobile's version of the Samsung Galaxy S, the Vibrant, which NEVER got Gingerbread like the other Galaxy S phone that did. Samsung announced and released an OTA for the Galaxy S but Tmobile in there infinite wisdom chose NOT to release it to the Vibrant. So just because Samsung announced and is sending a OTA ICS does NOT mean you're going to get it. You will have to WAIT for your carrier IF and when they announce it, PERIOD!

Though it may only he available to stock unrooted users, its often a matter of a few days to get an rooted stock rom up so thats not an issue for me

personally, i like the ability to get into the rooted side of es file explorer to modify the build prop, change lcd density, insert init.d script edit for better battery life. hell, how about undervolting the kernel with oc apps to get upwards of 24 hours out of a single charge? also, while the tmo roms are good, they cant hold a candle to the 2.3.5 roms from ATT...i dont know what it is but those roms run like a dream on this snapdragon soc.
final thought - I love tmo, dont get me wrong, but if you think that tmo will be the first to get ics ota then maybe you know something i dont. considering that, i hypothesize that ics (or even cm9) will be available for flashy goodness long before its ever beamed to our phones.

I find it amusing that the only justifiable reason for you to root is a modded gmail
There are so many reasons to root it's not even a question of "why".
How about Carrier IQ? Or full control over Theming? Custom Kernels, build.prop, CWM Touch Recovery? You can't be serious about a gmail notification being the sole reason for rooting.
Oh and btw, if you haven't learned this yet, you may want to pay attention:
Once the update starts rolling out to the general public, the official version will be leaked on xda and you will be able to flash through CWM. I'm sure within days there will also be a rooted stock version as well. This will be well BEFORE you get the OTA.
So, if you want to give up control of your device just to wait longer for something that hasn't even officially been announced yet, more power to you. Say hi to Carrier IQ for me

Relax... You sound like he stood you up on a date
I also havent rooted since getting my replacement phone... The phone is great without it and 75% of the roms and themes are the same thing just a dif battery mod or kernel (not many choices on this phone) I just think rooting isnt that big of a deal anymore since phones are becoming more powerful

To each their own. Opinions are like armpits. Everyone has them, and some (like your comments) simply stink.
If you don't have anything to give to benefit, then get the [email protected]#k out of my thread, and stop trolling, or i'll report you.
I mean it.

Guys I put a case on my phone today. I know some of you guys don't use them but I don't see why you don't.
