Hey everyone. My wife decided her mytouch slide is a little too laggy for her. I have rooted and flashed HTC phones and my vibrant with great success. I am going to do her phone this weekend but I need some help please. I do NOT follow this forum at all so I have no idea what [ROM]s are stable and functioning for everyone else. If I could please get some input from you guys that have been here and have tested these out it would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance
Start with the Slide bible: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=704567

If you want Froyo, Cyanogen is very good if you don't need bluetooth: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755118
If bluetooth is important for you, CR_Mod is said to be an excellent 2.1 ROM. I haven't tried it personally, Froyo is too yummy for me to go back. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7534187#post7534187
Good luck!
The dopio oc kernels are also very stable esp at 768 and 806. Just use set cpu app to maximize battery life.
The cm nightlies are also usually very stable.
The slide reloaded rom is also a sweet themed version of cr's full ota rom.

Yeah was looking for froyo but not necessary. Looked through the bible but wanted some real world feedback. I'm usually partial to eugene373's roms. But cyanogen is a god. Thanks guys. I'll let it ride for a lil while before I make a decision.

Yeah, for my uses, Cyan with the dopio kernel is the way to go 100%. But you never know, once you get the ENG flashed, let your wife play with all the ROMs she can handle until she finds one she likes. ROM Manager makes it ridiculously easy.
What about the galaxy slide rom by infinitybiff? Anyone tried that? I don't use touch wiz on my vibrant but the wife might like it. Still leaning towards cyan. Just need something fast and stable for her. I'm gonna have to theme it for her myself cause there is no one doing that.

after you flash a rom.. do you just flash the dopio oc kernel in clockwork recovery?

Yes, just make sure you back up first, in case you want to switch back.
cyanogenmod or crmod
I just flashed Galaxy Slide Beta the other day after using CR for the longest time. its the first ROM that i have flashed (and there have been many) that i didn't immediately flash straight back to CR. i am having a minor trouble with the color scheme in the notification pull down and i haven't tried all the features yet... (i.e. bluetooth, tethering, and maybe one or two more) but all in all i love it!

Bluetooth has worked just fine since 6.1.0 I believe @ cyanogen

The dopio kernel is integrated into cyanogenmod 6.1+, no need to flash it over again, but other roms you will have to flash it.

Someone told me that this ROM was fairly glitchy, but I've never actually used it, so try it out

Yes, but if it's cyanogenmod6.1+ then it's already integrated, no need to flash it.

Cyanogenmod is froyo, and based off of the AOSP source, so it has a more vanilla flavor to it. CR_Mod is just the rooted stock OTA ROM with a wifi tether, and a2ext built in. CR_Mod is also eclair, it just all depends on what you like better, the latest vanilla customizable stuff, or the more stock HTC sense feel, with all of the t-mobile stuff.
Hi, I'm running CRmod and I want to overclock it, which one can I use without breaking my wifi?

dumfuq just posted new versions of kernel. Try that lol. Though... I'm not sure if it's the kernel's issue

I don't think the espresso OC kernels break wifi. I use CRmod and none of the OC kernels from dumfuq broke wifi in it. I think wifi only has issues with CM6 based roms.
Anyways, I use the v3.1 806 kernel with 0 problems, and I did use the 844 kernel too with 0 problems (I went down to 806 because the benchmarks between the two weren't big enough for me to take a higher risk of frying my phone).
I suspect the latest 3.5 kernels are just as stable, I have been to lazy to nandroid and upgrade.
Alright thanks, maybe it was a bad flash, ill try the newest dumfuq oc

Hi I'm new to the mytouch slide so I was wondering if there was a way that I could root it and overclock it I saw something about there being a special made kernel for overclocking it, would I need that, I want to keep the original sense ui but if I have to I'll just go to the froyo/sense rom.....i guess
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I tried keeping the original slide rom rooted and overclocked but i dont think the kernal matched well since i had constant issues and needed to reflash the rom over and over. Its best just to go with a 2.2 rom and overclock. They are more stable. The latest cyanogenmod actually has the overclock kernal in it.

So should I just drop sense ui all together and just go with cyanogenmod or go with froyo/sense?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Sense roms are sexy and all, but I've used 2 of them for the slide now, both have some pretty major issues. The froyo one was the most glitchy. Cr_mod is eclair, but you can apply the oc kernel and install setcpu. The rom still has an issue here or there but nothing like the issues with froyo sense roms. I'm using cm6.1 rc2 and I have to say its still the fastest rom that I've used for slide. The cm roms were the fastest on my old g1 as well. PLUS they include the overclock kernel. I definitely recommend cyanogenmod.

Idk man, it depends what you can deal with and what you cant. The rom 3rd Sense seems to be the best froyo sense at the moment since it has a2sd, wifi, and bluetooth working but from what i read, it has rotation problems and no keyboard lights. Its making progress though.

ok cyanogenmod is soundin pretty good right about now but all really want with sense is the benefits which are contacts(sim,tmobile,facebook), myfaves(can kinda do without), gbutton, and the widgets. are there ways to keep these?
Gbutton is now google search and there are sense-like widgets. Also, the facebook app does add friends to contacts.

ok so i went head and put cyanogenmod on it and its really a jaw dropper lol its really cool now i just gotta see if im up to date on my radio because ill get 2g in the weakest areas, 3g in some areas, and H which i heard stood for 4g in most but when i get this it cant connect most of the time, it flickers like its trying :/

It's not possible to overclock with a DK-28 Modem, you have to be on 2.1 Eclair to overclock.
Can you explain to me how (and where) to find a kernel and install it. I know how to use Odin to get back to 2.1 and I can reroot it, no biggie. But I have no experience with installing new kernels. I'm kinda learning as I go... thanks for the help: )

Here's a OC kernel. Odin back to 2.1 (DI18), root and install the kernel in the provided thread.

This is the kernel I was using prior to 2.2 flash. Worked great! Very fast and stable.
You can also try SyndicateRom with the Xtreme kernel. I enjoyed that before the froyo leaks started.
Yeah those days feel so long ago,I wish we had source for 2.2.1 alreay... Anyway I found Phoenix kernel to be the best,alot less bugs.That with any DI18 ROM was awesome.

Regardless about how anyone around here feels about this gentleman, I would say for a 2.1 Rom your best bet would probably be Baked Snack (1.6). I won't post a link but all you have to do is google Baked Snack Epic4g and youll find it.
I went back and fourth to Froyo leaks a few different times as new ones were released, and I still always end up reverting back to this Rom, it just seems to be the snappiest 2.1 (or 2.2 for that matter) Rom available, It has a well working apps2sd, kernel options for best battery life, (IMHO) and you can overclock to either 1.2 or 1.3 ghz on it. Just my 2 cents. For me the only quasi-important feature I'm missing out on by not running Froyo is Flash, but TBH thats not that important to me. I'm never too far from a computer if I need it that bad.
is 2.1 with overclock kernel that much faster than 2.2.1 without overclock. I like my rooted 2.2.1. not really wanting to go backwards.
a slower chip running a newer OS or a faster chip running and older OS....ya 2.1 OC'ed will be fast.
I hate how everyone listed a different ROM, it's just so daunting now! It makes me afraid to switch from stock!
check this out, list of roms kernels etc/
