Well the best thing out there so far is the latest Cyanogenmod 6.1 RC3. It's stock Android based with tons of enhancements and very stable. Everything works, wifi, bluetooth, etc.

What is the most current radio for the slide? I just put CM6.1 RC2 on my GF's slide, but nothing else additional (kernel, radio, etc.). What else do i need to get it as up-to-date as whatever OTAs are out?
(I'm coming from my DX rom experience so i don't know as much about HTC devices as I do the DX...)

I have one question for the people using cm6, once your rooted and have flash cyanogen are you still able to use flash lite to see videos on your web browser???

Hey guys. I'm just used to the sense rom I've been on stock froyo, gingerbread leak, and curretnly running evil d Virtuous Fusion sense 3 rom. I'd like to see if there are any other options for a stable gingerbread sense rom. I love Evil D's rom but wifi calling doesnt work and there seems to be data fluctuations on it. btw anyone know what's going on w/that rom and the pending investigation? Thanks for you rinput guys.

As for suggesting another GB Sense ROM - if you haven't already, I'd definitely try Royal Panache. Very similar to Virtous Fusion except it has Sense 2.1, not the 3.0 carousel. But you still get the sense 3.0 lockscreen and other elements. Very smooth.
Not sure what's going on with eViL's thread though...hopefully nothing serious.
I would suggest IncertCoin rom, it is real awesome and stable. Excellent battery life with all sense widgets working perfectly.
Hey Guys,
I am actually coming back to the 4G OG after a year of being away so I am a little out of the loop. I was wondering if anyone ported the HTC Amaze camera mod over for this guy and if any ROMs contain it be default?
Thanks
I saw this mod, but I figured the dev's here knew about it... It was posted on a few android sites.
I ran it on my EVO 3d and gave a noticeable improvement just wondering if anyone brought it over to the OF EVO.

Just looked up the mod, Seems pretty cool, The zip for a sense 3.5 rom was deleted so i guess someone will have to pm it to you.
i googled this and only found it for the evo 3d. any links for thsi on OG?
I currently use stock rooted MT4G, but have started to enjoy the Virtuous Unity Glacier ROM that gives us Sensation's abilities. I have noticed that normally MT4G finds 5ghz wifi w/ no prob, but w/ Virtuous Unity it's gone. I want to find out if someone has a way to restore the support in not only the GB builds, but now also the ICS builds that share the same problem. Before anyone brings up wiki on this issue of whether MT4G supports 5Ghz and starts a flame war, I have both bands running in my house and have even done wifi calling through the 5Ghz band, so don't bother quoting specs. Need further proof: URL pdf.eccn.com/pdfs/Datasheets/Broadcom/BCM4329.pdf I believe the issue has something to do with how the kernel is compiled with the bcm4329.ko module. There may be a switch or parameter not being set in the module's build files (written in c) before a build is initiated. The resulting .ko file seems different depending on which phone it's being used on. Obviously this is a senior developer/kernel jockey question and I lack the know how to do this myself, but it's an important issue considering every developer wants to put out as bug-free a build as possible.
Any ideas?
Spec:
MT4G unlocked, and rooted. 4ext Recovery
Factory MT4G w/ GB and Virtuous Unity Glacier 1.27

Hey I have asked the same question before but got no answer, I know nothing about what you wrote but I would love to have it working again.... I also have a dual band router that sends out both 2.4 gHz and 5.o gHz freq. at the same time and it is great for media. I would love to see this fixed.

Froyo never supported this for MyTouch 4G.
The official GB kernel came with 5Ghz support. Oddly, no developer never had support in their custom kernels. If you MUST have it, you could try flashing the stock kernel (extract it from the official ROM) or learn C and have at. This has been asked about many times and no one with the skills seems to want to add it.
If someone knows otherwise please correct me.

I got the mt4g on the first day it was sold and 5 ghz wireless n did work on the froyo version and all of the stock roms (until the Android 2.3.4 Software build number 2.32.531.1 - when they partially broke it - it worked but not consistently .. see support.t-mobile.com/message/75827 ).
My take is that the kernels are using a generic driver that works for all of the similar devices that did not have the 5 ghz N. There are very few phones that have 5 ghz wireless N - so I assume that the linux kernel either isn't from the HTC mt4g source or the wifi driver for some reason has been changed out, but a dev would need to weigh in on that.
I think the bindroid runmed 2.5 supports 5. (Don't quote me) and IMO its better maintained then virtuous, so I would recommend checking it out. I think youll see a massive improvement all around.

So I got my MT4G up and running after my eMMC chip went out so now I have to S=OFF and install a custom rom and the one you suggested morgan5814 is going to be the first one I try out, if I like it then good but if not then going to try ICS roms because before my MT4G broke there was no ICS around.
Sounds like a plan. I've been working on a custom miui for about a week and a half now. Not ready to release. First rom release half assed would be for shame lol

Well when you release your rom I am going to have to try it out.... my MT4G is my back up phone, I have a HTC Sensation that I use daily.
Awesome. I'm worried about releasing it with any bugs. First rom so I wanna make a good impression

Hi everyone, I apologize ahead of time if these questions are redundant and can be found in different forums. I recently received a MyTouch 4G from T-Mobile as a replacement for my wife's lost Samsung Galaxy S 4G and am trying to set up a stable system for her.
I've already downgraded, rooted, and installed a custom ROM (currently CM7 7.2.0 RC1) but wanted to ask a few questions.
1) ROM recommendation? Rock-Solid ROM with non-buggy WiFi calling is a must since we have poor reception at home. I imagine that a ROM based off of an official T-Mobile base for the Glacier would be best but I'm not sure.
1a) For such a ROM, is there a preferred standout kernel?
2) Is there any hope for ICS roms to gain solid WiFi Calling capability?
3) Out of curiosity, why are there so many ROM ports? Are they just as stable and functional as one specifically for the Glacier?
Thanks a lot for your answers! I know it's very subjective but I'm hoping to get some good feedback so I don't have to keep deleting her data as I try out different things
Virtuous Unity is an oldie but goodie and everything works. Use the kernel it comes with.
There is always hope for any feature. Wifi calling will work well on ICS eventually. Give it time.
There are many very good roms for other phones that port well. The MyTouch 4G has two "sister" phones that share the same SoC and port easily. Why build a whole new ROM when you can port? Also, keep in mind that a non-ported ROM has to be compiled from source which, for the most parrt, limits you to AOSP, AOKP and CyanogenMod. We have lots of that. Any sense ROM that isn't based off of a glacier/panache build is going to be a port, as well as MIUI.
Edit: I almost forgot. Android Revolution HD is right up there with VU in functionality and is still supported. There is a camcorder fc, but a fix can be found in the thread. Doubleshot cam and 720p setting, as I recall.
Android Revolution HD
Best. ROM. Available.
yeah virtuous is good too, but ARHD is so much faster

I used to have an HTC Sensation (which my 1-year old son tragically dropped into a cup of joe) and ARHD was definitely one of the most stable and popular ROMs.
However, because of his commitment to a stock experience I had to flash several add-ons to get desirable tweaks (battery%, ultra-smooth rosie, extended quick-settings, custom power-button settings).. are these also available for the Glacier version? (I read the thread and it seemed like the latest version does not have these yet?)
Thanks again!
ps. Is it best to keep the kernel that comes with it?
flash rc tweaks. There is a link in that thread somewhere. Also, that kernel is really good. If you don't like it you could try thederekjay's sense kernel, but I doubt you will need to change.
The ROM called LeeDroid is good too, I've been using it for several weeks, no problems.

Thanks!
I installed ARHD 7.0.3 with RC Tweaks and it's been pretty darn amazing. Everything works (so far) and fast!
Thanks again for not letting me flounder around.. very much appreciated!
The real test is whether or not SHE likes it.
Haha.
I'm using CM7.2 RC1 along with thederekjay's Darkside Kernel and i have absolutely no problems and beyond excellent batt. life.

Call me blasphemous but Sense feels a lot smoother than CM.. have you seen how smoothly the screen transitions ? It also looks more polished IMO.
Having said that, is there any way to adjust the haptic feedback level on ARHD? It's too strong for my liking.. tried to search but didn't turnip anything.
