Which ROM should I go with? - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's pretty much between Cyanogen and TeamFenix at this point. I don't care about bluetooth as I don't really use it at this time. I just want the fastest with most functionality.
Thoughts/Suggestions?

they are both very good 2.2 ROMs... fast and stable. personally I am partial to TF1.7.1 because it is the easiest to use the Google Wi-Fi tether (no extra settings other than allowing Super User permissions) to turn your phone into a hot spot for your laptop, net-book, PS3... ect. The GPS works without issue (I haven't had any problems using the Google Navigation Beta).

Thanks sir. I don't normally use GPS on my phone since it kills the battery and I have a Garmin GPS for the car.

no problem man... I just got in to the Android game in April but I do my best to help where I can. even if my wife does call me her "phone nerd", but then she is glad I found a much cheaper hobby than my modded tC

I was using CM6 stable but recently switched to TeamFenix 2.0, it's based off of a CM6 nightly. Very stable, smooth and all around great. There is an issue with the CM6 stable rom where android market wouldn't install/update a lot of apps at random. TF 2.0 doesn't have that issue at all, then again, I'm sure the current cyanogen nightlies fixed that issue also.

[Q] CM6 vs Fenix ?

Which rom do you guys prefer?
I prefer the TeamFenix 1.7.1 because of the working Wi-Fi tether, don't know about whether or the Bluetooth is working yet because I don't use it. and I haven't had any force closes, battery life is pretty decent considering how much time I spend using the internet on it
They're both the same to me. Both have working bluetooth but no bluetooth audio which is why I am not using them. Anyone know any key differences in the roms?

TeamFenix 1.7.1 uses the "android-wifi-tether, Wireless Tether for Root Users" from www.code.google.com and it works right out the gate without having to install anything to your computer or modify any APNs. just start app, tap the start button, allow Super User permissions and you are up and running.

bluetooth/wifi interference

I don't often use bluetooth but I don't ever recall having interference issues with WIFI until I got to CM7 and flashed the latest radio.
It's WIFI thats causing the issue, if I turn wifi off while I'm on a call the noise is gone.
Is my headset on the fritz, am I loosing my mind, or is this new with this radio version? Or all of the above.
Sidenote: Anyone know of an app that will automatically disable wifi while I'm on a BT call?
MT3GS, CM 7.0.2, Radio 7.9.35.10
hello good sir ok here it goes your running cm7 stable i see with the latest raido and that is great the problem is not with your phone more than likely could be but are you one of the unfortanate folks that has wifi connectivity issue ??? or does wifi work great for you as it does for me never had issues. the reason i ask is cm7 running the latest radio and latest everything lol is flawless however there is a licencing issue from google with android 2.3 cyanogenmod 7 with the wifi apk file meaning cm mod is using the wifi apk from 2.2 because there is no licence restrictions but for whatever reason on 2.3 they have that wifi apk file under licence for a one year period so that being said that may be the issue. or it could be your phone i have 3 mytouch slides mine wifes daughters and they all running cm7 stable clockworkmod and s-off and i have no issues with any i hope this helps and not just rambling good luck if need any additional info lmk thanks
No, that does make sense..
My wifi is a little whacky, but not nearly as bad as some folks describe. I've actually considered going back to CM6 a few times now.
My fiance has a MT3GS with CM6.11 and the older radio, I need to test my headset with that later.

Issues with ROMS

I've been on this forum for a while, and I've used a majority of the ROM's available (although I get the feeling I've only scratched the surface).
However, although good, I have always experienced problems.
For it while it was the camera. Recording video (in 720p, which I do alot of) would stutter. It would run for a few seconds and then freeze for a second, and then carry on. This was present in LeeDroid for a while, a ROM I liked very much.
The other thing is USB Tethering. It will always work but if I was in Disk Drive, I would have to disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it to get USB Tethering, I couldn't just click from one to the other. Again this was only present in LeeDroid, CoreDroid works fine, MIUI (once they fixed the USB Tethering issue) worked fine and Revolution worked fine im pretty sure RCMixKingdom worked fine.
USB Tethering is so important to me, because it is how I get my internet. I have an unlimited plan with my network, which means I can just use my phone, I get speeds of up to 1.1MBPS, so its awesome for me, and saves having a separate bill.
Ultimately, I just want a ROM to work. The reason I rooted unlocked my phone in the first place, was because of a bug HTC left in the phone, which was, when I was using USB Tethering, after about 10 minutes, mobile internet would disconnect. I had keep the screen awake when I had USB plugged in, to stop it disconnecting. Its a known bug, apparently, although since using custom ROM's, I have no idea if HTC have fixed the issue.
Ideally I just want a decent ROM where everything works, silly things like the weather don't FC. And I wouldn't mind a decent Sense 3.0 interface. Regardless of what HTC has said, it does work perfectly on single core hardware.
So ... recommend one to me please
For a 2.1 Rom: Go for LeeDroid latest or ARHD latest both are very good.
For a 3.0 rom: Go for Virtuous Unity 1.31.0 (I am using it with LeeDroid Kernel because it is the best imho)
For an ASOP, I cannot really recommend... Never gone away from Sense.

Cyanogenmod is the obvious choice for an AOSP ROM.
RCMix is another Sense 3.0 option.
We are certainly spoilt for choice.
There are lots of great roms

I've been trying a few ROM's like you do and now i got CoreDroid V7.1 for daily use.I definetly recommend it

[Q] What is the best tethering rom?

I have been using CM7 and for the most part it works pretty good but depending on the circumstances the phone could crash and/or not go back to 4G without rebooting.
It seems that certain functions like texting or applications that sync can lead to a crash so I just did a reload on a clean wipe, turned off all of the account syncing and only have gapps, market and a non syncing gmail loaded. But even with that I am still not holding the network connection the way I want and seem to have to mes with the wimax or reboot the phone to get 4G back.
My signal is good since I am on a hil, know where the 4G tower is and stick my phone way up a vent above all the other buildings.
Is there a stripped rom that is basically just a phone and a internet connection? Old nightlys, tuning suggestions or ?? that would work better and/or do a better job of forcing 4G after an interuption?
I have not loaded sense and new radios in a while if that has anything to do with it.
Thanks
Hey,
There is no so to speak best tether rom, but I have noticed others work better then some. Personally when I use cm7 each day my data speed slows I have no idea why but it does. I personally really like RCMix3d it works great smooth good battery life as a rom and I have had no complaints about tethering its been working well with me.
But if your set up is working I would just stay set with that!
Hope it helped

I suggest you use RCMix3D Runny v5.1 by sbryan12144. Its fast & smooth
Cm7 tethering works good. Its also good on miui roms on most phones. Also for those having trouble tethering. Try wireless tether 2.0.7 which works on almost everything.

I use barnacle... i like it. Super simple. Is stable.
I been using Deck's rom, but now my W7 64bit machine is having a problem with the Remote NDIS driver which I can't seem to find.

Need a little help finding the right ROM for me.

I have a d2tmo GS3 and been running CM10 nightlys. It is alright but I sometimes have BT trouble between the phone and the car and so I am looking to see if there is another ROM that will work better for me.
I am mainly looking for a relatively vanilla JB ROM. Don't need or care to much about fancy stuff. Its ok if it has extra features as long as they don't cause problems. More than anything else, I want a stable ROM that works correctly.
There are two problems I am having with BT.
The first is that the phone does not always auto connect for music with my car. It used to also have trouble connecting for phone, but a recent nightly build seems to have fixed that.
The second is that when it does connect, it automatically starts playing a random file (it did this with the stock ROM as well). For some reason my Nexus S didn't do this with either ICS or JB vanilla Android. My understanding is that this is cause the phone is getting an autoplay signal from the car. I am hoping there is an Android version that can be set to ignore this request.

I'm actually having the same problem with auto-connect I have a thread going as well. I am running wicked JB which is TW based so close to stok and thats my only problem so far
Just to be clear, when I say "vanilla JB" I mean JB like google intended, not neccesarilty GS3 stock rom.

Does Frosty allow your phone to ignore BT autoplay requests?
