Develop Bugs

How many Devs do we working on the slide?

I know some devs are jumping ship to other phones. Do we have some devs left to work on our phone? If not I'm thinking about buying another phone in the next few months.

That's the impression I got from Twitter. Sad this is a cool phone I like it but looks like I'll look toward the g1 blaze in November.

I just got this like the other day and it seems to be lacking in support, when I heard about this phone I was excited to get it...But now it seems like it doesn't have that much development, with other phones coming out. The only this is the smaller screen and weaker cpu/gpu compared to newer phones...This thing comes w/ 512MB Ram/Rom if im not mistaken, just like N1. If this is Oc'able it might go to at least 7xxx. Dumfuq is notorious for his G1 OC kernels, lets see what he can do for the MTS now...

I think I will stick around a bit longer. When the phone first cane out it had devs on it that loved it. I think we still have some working on it.

I really like the phone's design, it sticks out from the other phones I had. it might not be the best thing in the market but it's defiantly a major improvement from my G1. Even on stock this feels a lot faster than when I had it oc'd to 614MHz.

I agree totally. This is a wonderful improvement over the G1. Handles things better too. When I got a text when I was watching YouTube on the g1 I would have a blank screen for like 30secs cause I had SMS popup then I could reply but the video wouldn't play I would have to start over. Not with this little power house those issues are gone.

I'm afraid some peiole are getting different phones. Seems like the slide is hard to develop for. Cyanogen is having issues too. I wonder if HTC is having trouble with froyo.

Check the dev section. Im trying to pull together a dev team to port a modded froyo to phones that havent had a mention of froyo, and the dinc, desire, and evo. If there is one dev left, the slide is saved, if not, i gotta pick up official support for the slide.
More info on the rom can be found on www.incredibleroms.com/jdkoreclipse. Dont download from the link there, as it is the driod incredible version.
I will not let this phone go without devs.

Imma try. Im on xda alot, so i have lots of time to get this going. If worst comes to worst, i will maintain the port. So, you are getting a de sensed froyo woth some cool mods. Its not vanilla, and not sense. I really like the slide, and will dev for it. I already dropped official support for the evo, but may need to pick that one up too.
No phone should be without devs

Thanks a lot for what you are doing. We appreciate it a lot. I would like a good froyo de-sensed rom. Sense is cool but stock android is faster. And I miss my wysie contacts. Thanks again.

Friggin delays on jdfroyo. We are still worrking on it.
No phone left behind
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I think we have a few here. I mean Wes and Eugene are here but may have gotten the vibrant and there are a few other new guys here and there. But they have said they will still work on the slide. I think whats holding alot of folks back is the lack of ota to use and port plus this baby is locked pretty tight still even after root but that won't stop anybody. I mean we don't even have a custom kernel or hard spl and it will take much longer because of the security. And, yes, cyanogen is working on his froyo port still and is having road blocks which is holding up future stable additions. It's a great phone still and am happy with slidemr1 v4 rom with a2sd and perflock off and set at a constant 600mhz. JIT would be nice like in froyo, would help a bit but stability and lack of 100% fuction in a2sd ports makes it hard to use froyo daily (and due to fact I'm an app horder). But yeah, the HTC blaze/emerald (the one with the qwerty kb) l will be tempted if things are still this slow by the time late autumn/early winter rolls around.

That's exactly what I am thinking. It is locked up pretty tight and hopefully our ota update to froyo will be a game changer for it and we can move forward.
Sent from my MR1 V4 Remix 3G using XDA App

I can say, that lack of leaks and ota is holding us devs back. If there was a leak froyo, i would be able to build jdfroyo with no problem. Hopefully i will be able to port something i will make for the gsm hero.

Not froyo. It was a radio uograde mainly.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

There is some update in this section being talked about but from what I can gather its stuff that has been fixed or only applys to espresso rom. In other words not froyo... but it did state and interesting addition that will be useful to all roms: the ability to use mms/sms over wifi.

Anyone received the ota yet?

Wifi doesn't need to be on, does it? Or will it just take a while with 3G(barely)
EDIT: Whoop, nevermind, it changed now and says the update is available. I'm probably just gonna go ahead and do it, I'm sure someone will find a way around it later on if Froyo disappoints.

uuhh sorry, enlighten me here please. what good does this bring?

lol there isn't even root on g2 et or custom recover lol

Is there a way to flash this on AVD?

we can take a look around the ROM and see what is up as well as look into breaking it before the phone is released. remember that the aria was rooted days before it was actually released as a phone, having the build can get us a head start on the hacking process. thank you for posting

Yeah, I agree, tubaking. He's full of crap. He's saying the rom is different and talking about sense ui. We all know that it has no trace of sense at all. Either he has a desire z or is just trolling. He's definately not one of tmobile employees who actually got a G2 tester model. He sounds like a 13 year old kid trying to screw with people on the internet...

I got no problems with posting pics of the phone tomorrow when i am back at work and yes it is a desire z. Same as g2 because the g2 t-mo rom loaded fine once i renamed the zip.

Lol! I thought thats what it was. I wasn't quite sure if you were a troll or just a semi-confused desire z owner. My apologies. So... it did flash, huh? Wow, I knew they were close but didn't think you could use each others roms. Thats good to know! What works or what doesn't work? You mind testing it out for us? I doubt we want pics but would like a report on what doesn't work after flashing a G2 rom....

So here is the proof. Both hardware versions in the uk anyway were called vision and can put either rom on. This hardware had Desire Z sw on it when i got it.

[Q] Is it possible that someone make a port of the MyTouch 4G?

I know screen sizes are different, but as there is an app that changes the display density, i thought a couple files could be edited for a port of the MyTouch 4G to our Slide.
If it takes time to find out, could you guys at least tell what must I have to know to port a rom, and info about configurations of screen density.
Thanks, I hope for someone to reply, I really wish this can be possible, and others to enjoy it too if it can be done.

It can be extremely difficult to fix the images. It's not just a simple resize, as the aspect ratios are different as well. It all depends. The mytouch 4g has a completely different hardware base. It probably wouldn't work. If you want a mytouch-style ROM why not just use the rooted stock ROM?

Yes, I've seen the videos. It wouldn't work, the hardware is not the same and a lot of hardware is tied into the OS.
For example, it has apps having to do with the front facing camera, which the slide does not have. It has elements having to do with the fm radio, which it doesn't have, and of course, elements having to do with HSPA+, which we don't have. I imagine that if you even tried, not only would it not appear right, it would crash all the time.

I mean, it's POSSIBLE, but it probably would not look too great, after HOURS of work resizing images and de/recompiling APK's for the 9patches. It would probably have stability issues with the drastically different hardware, in fact, it's armv7, we're armv6, it may not even work, but replacing the kernel may fix it. I really don't know, but I don't think anyone is gonna pounce on the opportunity.

Yea, and I just checked more about its UI, I really thought it was like Sense of the HD Desire and a blend of Espresso.
Just the stock rooted rom is like MyTouch 4G,
Sense UI from HD Desire would be worth the attemp... But I guess that's a way different hardware so... :/

im a total noob to development but i decided i would at least give it a stab.
but looking into the build.prop, it looks like its not going to be easy to port. the build.prop is saying its for an hdpi phone "ro.product.locale.language=hdpi"
im going to continue playing around in the kitchen and see what happens though
Edit: Im not sure why it said hdpi there. looking at the build.prop on cyanogenmod in says 'en' which made more sense since that line looked more like language. still unsure what im looking at though :/ lol

Awesome that you are trying!
We got yer back.

The wildfire's res is 240x320 which is QVGA, not the same like our phones.
So it is like the htc tattoo which was hard to port since the res was lower than the 320x480 used at that time.

Yes the OG Wildfire is QVGA but the Wildfire S is HVGA...actually the Wildfire S is almost the same phone as ours but without the keyboard. Same res and same processor (if I remember correctly).
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

interesting.

Is it possible to get htc flash lite frameworks from Wildfire S and mix it in CM7? That would be the best ROM ever. I don't need Sense ui, all I want is flash as it used to be back on 2.1 stock fw

no progress...i was going to work on it this morning at work (slow day) but linux is not booting after the update i got last night (dual boot). so instead im reconfiguring my computer and re-setting up ubuntu

I'm patient.

There's another hvga/same hardware phone out. Its called the htc salsa, I believe it has android 2.4 sense. It would be cool to get that rom

Yeah it has FB button plus same specs as us...Excluding addition of BT 3.0 instead of 2.1(corr if MTS has 3.0 BT).

Yes but that one won't be out for some time since 2.4 won't be released til May. The Wildfire S Rom is out now and is based off 2.3.2 AND has Sense 2.1 on board. It'll be a huge source for things to use in Sense and Non Sense Ginger Roms. Plus Wildfire S is supposed to launch with 2.4 as well.

Finally got linux running on my pc again and had to start porting (attempting) from scratch. I did everything i could think of then signed and flashed it. Good news is, it installed. Bad news is that got boot loops. I'll work a little more with it and do some more research and see if any progress can be made.

I'm excited now.

Dont get too excited. i need to get the rom to boot first lol. If i get it booting, then i'll upload it and people can test if they want. But im hoping a dev with porting experience can help me out. Im a self taught noob rom porter

Houston, we have lift-off! I got it working! Testing everything right now to see what works and what doesnt. Only drawback is that HTC has a watermark that is constantly on the screen. It doesnt make it impossible to see what your doing, its just annoying. Will make sure thats one of the first things to be fixed.

Does the sense launcher work in landscape mode now?
