Mytouch Slide Update

I called Tmobile and HTC today... The Tmobile rep didnt have a clue as usual so i went ahead and called HTC and the rep told me that the update will becoming out later this month. I hope this is true

I assume your talking about Froyo. I hope your right.

Later this month sounds about right. The G2 was released. If T-Mobile gave us froyo before the g2 was released then people who have the Slide won't get the g2. Its all about marketing. The only thing is, why would a rep tell you that before that information is even released to Engadget, etc. (no offense)

I would think they want as much people who have the slide to simply just run impatient and switch over to the g2. Marketing! I don't think the reps get news before us. They're not the major players (no offense to any reps who are reading). I think they get the news the same time as us or at least a day or 2 before us, but then again I could be wrong.

I highly doubt they'll screw us over. I'm betting we'll get froyo and that will be where it ends as far as updates for the Slide.

Froyo by the end of the month would be fantastic...I'm still kind of hesitant to root to get froyo cuz I keep hearing its "coming soon". I'd rather keep my warranty just incase lol...

You can root and then simply unroot to get your warranty back, but I don't suggest you root. Its not easy to root the slide, also alot of people who root the slide switch back to stock because they realize that not everything works with a flashed rom.

I'm running the stock rom just that it's rooted so that I can install & run the wireless tether apk. The stock rom that comes with the phone suits my needs. I've tried custom roms on my G1, but they are never quite 100% that everything is working. After the fun wears off, I reverted back to stock so that everything will work.

I've been using CR_MOD for a month and I like it. Everything work + a2sd + wireless tether. I can even flash live wallpaper and use it with ADW. I can even remove the built-in swype and install another version of swype which support more languages. I'm really satisfied with this rom.

I do not mean to be rude, but this has been discussed before. According to Adobe our phone's processor lacks the mhz to run flash smoothly. I honestly think with Froyo 2.2 our phone should be able to handle flash 10.1, but that's just my opinion. Who knows, Adobe might surprise us and give us flash anyway.

Can you point us in the direction of where we can obtain this file? I've loaded a flash player file before and it hasn't worked for me. Maybe this might be a different file.

is it worth downloading this file?

I got it from the dev section on here a while back. Personally I'd wait until FroYo comes out. It wasn't worth the huge space it took up and the slow playback.

Yes but FroYo is much smoother running than Eclair. Just cause we won't be able dl it from the market doesn't mean we can't side load it.

Flash lite, not full Flash 10.1
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Actually... if you google "flash 10.1 eclair 2.1" you get a guide as your first result on how you can get full flash on any 2.1 rom... sorry people who are running 2.2 but it only works if you have some sort of flash lite on the phone... as long as im aware... all 2.2 roms are based from source... which does not include any form of flash lite... basically, what it does is upgrade you flash lite to flash 10.1... it works perfectly for mee... i tried running it at 600 mhz... it ran too choppy... i would recommend using dumfuqs overclocked kernels to about 868 mhz... which is what im running... and it runs really smooth...

royalginger 2 and 3g/4g

just flash royal ginger 2.0, great rom, although i'm having an issue where my signal flips constantly between 3G and 4G, i actually was running with cygenmod 7 for a few days and was having the same issue so i thought iw ould try a different rom, and same issue. I've flashed all three different radios and have same luck. if i revert back to the stock rom, i have a solid 4G all the time. any suggestions?

When using CM or any derivitives of (maybe even AOSP) you will be connected to 3G most of the time until you download or need to use 4G then it will automaticlly switch.
With the stock rom it does not differentiate (visually) between 3G and 4G so even though you think you are on 4G all the time you might not actually be.

I believe this is a known issue with CM but I cant say for sure because that isnt what I run. Sorry

Thanks much, right now I'm running royal ginger, what rom are you running? maybe i should try a diff rom

I will be releasing a CM rom built from source with most of the data connectivity issues resolved. Look for it in the next day or so.

Is this why you have posted at least 15-20 times today in different threads with pretty much off topic useless comments? Trying to get your post count up since your account was created yesterday? I for one would never flash a Rom from some one that isnt or hasnt been a part of this community for some time. I also saw this post from you (only a hour ago) that makes me wonder....you are building Roms yet had to have help rooting a phone that is really very simple to root. This of coarse is just my two cents, and of coarse everyone is able to do what ever they want.

While you are new, I'll try that as soon as other people have given a thumbs up to it. but PLEASE try and make the gps consistent. That alone is why I'm sticking with the stock rom - any rom with good wireless data and fully functional GPS is a winner. ESPECIALLY if it's AOSP.

I saw this on a thread a while back... dial *#*#4636#*#* and then choose the first option (like phone info or something) then scroll down to where it says wcdma preferred and tap it and switch it to wcdma only and reboot and you'll be on 4g way more than before. I was having the same 3g 4g mess before I found info. Wish I could.thank the original post but I don't remember who it was. I also know that trick works on other android phones as well.

all vanilla android (aosp) ROMs seem to have this reputation. the people who do see this usually don't have this happen all the time but seems to come in spurts and then be ok for a while.
but one thing that does NOT help the situation is jumping around flashing one new ROM / kernel / radio after another over and over in short periods of time. ..feel free to do this if you're really itching to but just don't clog up all the corresponding threads with questions or comments about your battery life, reception, data speeds, etc .... JUST EXPECT inconsistencies if you're currently indulging your flash crack addiction.
it comes with the territory.
and I'm not trying to say don't try other setups out. but if you are really on a 'quest' to find the configuration (ROM/kernel/radio/etc) that works best for YOU - do yourself a favor and give each setup 3 - 4 days AT LEAST .. ideally a week +
not only for the ROM to have a chance to settle in and show you some kind of consistency but to give your worn out phone and battery a rest!
your glacier will be a much happier little block of ice this way, believe me
happy flashing

Netflix codes the .apk to only work on certain devices. The only reason it works on 3rd party ROMS is the developers have tweeked the rom and tricked the .apk into thinking it's one of those supported devices.

I'm running a stock rom. It is rooted. I have Netflix 1.3 installed.
Works flawlessly. See here...

[Q] GB app compatibility with ICS (supermono)

i have been using an app called super mono since at least 2.1 on all my devices. this app redirects all phone sounds to any bluetooth headset. i know a lot of things are changing in ICS and i was wondering if this app is gonna work on 4.0. it has worked on every CM and Sense rom i have used except for the miui 4.0 hybrid. as i understand it, it is a tweak not officially supported by google but all in all, its BY FAR my favorite app. if 4.0 wont support it ill have to wait til the developer updates or stay on 2.3.7
