Mytouch slide Port?

I am sorry if this has been answered but i am unable to find out any info about a dev porting over the mytouch slide rom to Nexus One. I hope that i am not the only one that would like this port.
Thanks for any info and sorry if i piss off anyone because its not my intention i just was unable to find any info,

Hmm, 3.5 screen.. 3.7 on the Nexus. Along with 2.1 on both devices. It could be ported, but what exactly is the screen resolution of the MyTouch Slide? If its ported but isn't 800x480 (WVGA, HDPI) (or whatever the Nexus 'supposedly' is) or somewhere close, we could be faced with weird size images and graphical issues. And of course with the fact that no one seems to know how to map the keys on the Nexus. Does Paul? Did the Desire ROM not need key mapping?
I don't know what I'm talking about anyways, but it sounds half right using common sense..

Thread killer! He's right though. I believe king was working on it at some point but the mapping is a pain. I wouldn't expect to see this anytime soon.
It's times like these i miss Eugene373. =( What ever happened to him?

Ya i miss all the older devs they had lots of drama but things got done. Thanks for the replies i guess its a lost cause. I for one do not like the look of the desire rom but find the slide rom appealing maybe what will happen is a launcher port from the slide rom to the desire rom then i would be happy.

That has already happened, just no one has released it publicly. I wish the current Sense had "themes" like Espresso, where we can change highlight colors, the general look and feel of things..

I think those look nice. if i remember correctly, there was a "theme" for one of our sense roms, just nothing that could be changed native. =P

Well crap for not releasing publicly haha kiddin. Well maybe i need to just read up on how to do it myself them.

I've made my own Sense launcher..

The more different, the better. To me at least..

See now that launcher is all that i want since the desire one is so unapealing to me. Now i guess its time for me to get to learning so i can do that. Thanks for giving me hope.

Isn't this a port from the MyTouch Slide for the N1? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=635783&highlight=espresso

2.1 Finally on friday ?

I thought I read on here that the update is going to be in two stages, one preparing the phone and the other giving us 2.1 which was pushed back to June. Maybe this is just the crappy update.

I don't believe that bull****. Just another rumor.
Also can someone enlighten me what the hell means this: "and could cause seizures in small pets" ?

that's crazy talk

Anyway I was asking myself :
Assuming that almost every member/reader of this forum would have tried at least once to install a custom ROM on their Hero, what to expect from the Official 2.1 update ?
Will I be sticking with it ? Will I wait for Villain/Kimera/other ports ? Assuming also that custom Roms will never be 100% stable...
Because from my experience with custom roms (and I've installed A LOT of them on A LOT of devices), it's allways about finding a compromise between speed and stability...
Yep, it's wednesday morning and I really don't wanna get to work...

I think when this 2.1 update comes out (probably won't happen soon, not even friday, as we all know HTC) this only may help custom modders in the stability of their roms, nothing else I'm guessing.

Wouldn't that be the Sprint Hero anyway?

Hmmmm,.... Well I haven't had the experience of swapping and changing ROMs on my Hero,... But having had it for about 2-3 months now, I'm still 100% happy with the speed and stability of the ROM I flashed to it on day 1, ... MCR3.2. I think I'v had 3 or 4 application force closes, and only had it freeze up forcing a re-boot ONCE!!!
I'm sure the custom 2.1's will be just as stable once we get the official ROM to use as a base.

Yes, I would assume so.

I'm not really looking for a more stable 2.1 rom. I just want the speed that is in the 1.5 roms. Since i've heard the 2.1 should be faster the the previous versions I have high hopes får the official release and that the dev can make the most out of it.

jpalo said:

So it wouldn't change anything, would it? I mean, don't we already have ROMs made from the Sprint Hero leak?

Hopefully this news would be true. I'm also looking forward to 2.1 rombut not because of its new capability but actually for developers in enhancing making the 2.1 rom using overclocked method

Hope that devs wil make some nice looking and fast rom out of it.
And no way i;m flashing it on my G2. Lucky that the gold card procedure worked out for me.

no feel.....

I just really hope the battery life will improve.
Current 2.1 ROMs are already quick and stable enough for me, I wish the battery would last longer though. Aside from that, there are only a few minor bugs in most 2.1 ROMs that are currently out there, which do not really bother me.

Its not the 2.1 ROMS that are the problem its all down to the Kernel,which no1 has!surely if it was coming soon then it would have leaked somehow!

if you follow the link from the article it says sprint hero...

[ROM LEAKED] Can we get the mytouch 4g build for HD2?

T-Mobile myTouch 4G aka HTC Glacier Shipped ROM Leaked
http://pocketnow.com/android/t-mobile-mytouch-4g-aka-htc-glacier-shipped-rom-leaked
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qRRDwj14S8&feature=player_embedded
My question is can we get a build for the hd2? Or are there still more things needed?

Could someone please explain to me why every time any phone with Android is released, that there are drones of people demanding developers who've put hours and hours on end of their own personal time into programming fixing and tweaking the current HD2 Android builds for no personal gain whatsoever, to devote more time and energy porting over a build that has almost no change in OS whatsoever?
I'd understand if a new phone came out with Android 2.3 or something, but all the phones being released lately aren't that much different from each other....

In the OP's defense he didn't demand anything he simply asked if it was possible and what it would take.. but your right about all the new phones OS being pretty similar.. that being said there is almost always something new in the OS when tmo drops a new android phone.. new mytouch is supposed to have a uma similar feature.. I guess we will see.

Okay then, in that case, I'd be interested in a port.
A large majority of people both in Europe and United States use T-Mobile.

What are the benefits?

TMOBILE DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE MYTOUCH SLIDE UI "ESPRESSO" BUT ITS RUNNING ANDROID 2.1. AND THE FUNNY THING IS THAT, THE UI ON THE MYTOUCH SLIDE HAD SKINS, LANDSCAPE SENSE, AND MULTITASKING IN THE NOTIFICATIONS WAY BEFORE THE "DESIRE HD" AND "DESIRE Z".

ALOT OF GOODIES IN THE PREVIOUS MYTOUCH (CAN APPLY LOCK WALLPAPER DIFFERENT FROM HOME WALLPAPER, THEMES, LANDSCAPE SENSE, MY FAVES GALLERY, MODE SWITCH BASE ON TIME OR LOCATION, GENIUS APP, APP PACK AND MORE). SO I AM VERY INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT THIS 2.2 VERSION OF THE MYTOUCH ROM PACKS

"similar" but not identical. For example, the processor (QSD8250 vs MSM8255) is different... Chipset might be different. radio manufacturer might be different, camera drivers mightbe different, etc etc etc.
But hey, they managed to plug in Desire Z and HD ROMs... Who knows!

If you can really use it
as UMA - that would be lovely.. the signal at my house sux and i need uma for android. That is the main reason that i want this..if possible ofcourse

I'm actually extremely interested to see this get ported to the HD2. As a T-Mobile USA customer, I think that this ROM would more than likely get me exactly where I wanna be with this phone...

Completely agree... Whoever initiates this type of request should actually donate some money first, recommend others to do the same and then get someone interested to make a build if they want it... that way, build maker makes some $$$ and everyone is happy... even grannies don't give it for free...

[Q] Why do I feel like I'm being left out on developments?

I feel like the Aria is slow with developments. NOT COMPLAINING, I love liberated and CM6 (awesome, btw) but when do you think new ROMS are going to come out?

New ROMS based on what??? We have HTC Sense ROMs for Eclair 2.1 and Froyo 2.2 and AOSP CM 6.1. What else are you looking?
Personally I hate visiting the other device forums because everybody and their brother has 'cooked' up another ROM (mostly just new themes or added favorite apps). IMO who has time to stiff through all the various ROMs and threads? I find it much easier to review 3 different ROM threads and try to help others than to try and go through 10 or 15 threads and seeing messages such as 'well this worked on this ROM but it doesn't on that ROM, why not?'
OK, I'll get off my soap box now...

I agree. Plenty of good variety in the ROMs we have.

There's nothing wrong with that actually. Sometimes it's a good thing because there are more people developing towards something greater. We have 1 or 2 guys doing all this work. There are some pretty badass ROMs for the more popular phones out there. If we had more people developing and cooking, we'd no doubt have something better than what we have even now.

Screw those giant phones.
But a little more ROMS would be cool, we just need more people with the Aria.
It's not a bad phone...hah.

What would you like to see in a new ROM?

Not too sure, as I have only had the Aria and used the two ROMS.

it's not a bad thing that we may only have 3 roms, but they are actually good quality roms, not just thrown together, and they are constantly being updated, but it would be kool if they had more help with them. Although i wish they had some people creating or porting themes, if i knew how i would, if anybody wanna help me learn, i wouldn't mind contributing by making themes for the aria, cause i kno i'm not the only one wishing they could have a theme to try out

I recently rooted and installed CM6.1.0RC2, and only thing I'd say it's missing is Flash Lite compared to Sense. Wish there was a way to get Flash Lite on CM, sadly not possible. Still loving CM though. Might test Sense again when there's an official Froyo update from AT&T and attn1 has taken out all the bloatware.

Wait... why wait for the official ATT rom? It's going to be near identically the same as the Gratia ROM with 2.2 in it. You can go download it and flash it now.

Agreed. Waiting for the AT&T ROM to be released and then having someone remove the bloatware is pointless. What you will end up with is available now as Liberated FR07...

That's right folks- get your supercharged Froyo sense goodness now with the newer kernel source released by HTC for the HTC legend. Everything works as far as I know, except for the built in wifi hotspot app for which we have replaced with the working Wireless Tether app thanks to the work of shakerhero. Final thanks go to attn1 and jznomoney for their hard work on the CM kernel, ladios for bundling up the kernel, trackpad wake fix, and wireless tether in a single, proper package.

[Q] Need a ROM recommendation for my used Saphire

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a used Saphire (a Vodafone branded Magic, 32B, from a german) and i want to upgrade it's ROM before i give it to my girl (it's going to be her first smartphone ).
I was wondering if anyone can recommend me a good ROM for it. I definitely want HTC Sense to be on there, and if possible i'd prefer a 2.2 Froyo ROM.
It must be stable without bugs, cause my girl don't know squat about smartphones and i can't be there all the time to troubleshoot.
I've been looking around a bit in the development thread, but as i'm an old time WM user i'm completely unfamiliar with ROM flashing on Androids.
Can anyone give me a good recommendation for a stable ROM with Sense?
I'd really appreciate any tips

funny, but when i saw this thread, i noticed 97 views (in other words, 97 times people looked at the thread) but no replies...
probably because dont really think there's anything such as a "stable" modded rom
sure, many are quite stable but no modded rom (imho) is ever going to be 100%, fully, undeniably bug-proof
and adding in the sense requirement, well, good luck..
if it was me, i'd use cyanogenmod 6.1, or just stick to the stock 2.2 you can get from yer carrier
in fact, if i was giving it to someone else who cant do maintenance on their rom, i'd definitely stick with stock

I have recently bought a Vodafone UK Magic (32B Board), yesterday did a massive software rebuild on it and now have a stable Froyo 2.2 (Gio's Mod). Check out this thread for details (look at the last page for details of my setup before and after upgrade).

You've got a good point there with a stock ROM. If set it up for her with it's stock ROM (1.6) for now.
And there is a stock 2.2 ROM for the sapphire (which wouldn't require rooting and alike)? This one 's got a 32B board (GSM/Europe).
Stock 2.2 would also be great performancewise i guess.

Mine just updated itself yesterday: the notification for the bootloader update came in around noon, and after that it updated to 2.2.1.
It's a great update....first few minutes it renders the phone a bit slow. After taking it some good use it becomes very snappy
I suspect however that you need a stock ROM to be updatable, and judging from your sig you ain't got that running...

Ah ok, its true I'm running a custom Froyo ROM right now and loving it. Don't know if I should try the Vodafone update out. Is it really worth it? Hows the vodafone mods on it, I hope they haven't overdone it.

If you've already got Froyo, then i don't see a reason for updating.
They've been very sparse with the Voda bloathware on this update though. You can only tell it's Vodafone by one small app and the boot-splash.

Haha, well I don't want their app and I got rid of their red splash screen recently by flashing via fastboot. Now I've got a nice custom one, wouldn't change it back for anything lol.

Vodafone usually stuffs up the phone's OS, especially Sony phones...
I'm on the 32A with CM6.1 - works quite nice
Did you get the Sense UI with the new Vodafone update?
