hey XDA, i figured that while i was looking around i might as well post a tutorial of my own. for the MT3GS users, this will give you the ultimate features out of your slide. Ok first off if you didnt see in parentheses "with root" then i jus sed it again and if you do not hav a rooted mytouch slide, look away from this post now! Now that that is out of the way, let us begin
1. (cant say this enough) ROOT THE **** PHONE
rooting the phone makes majority of the stuff on this page possible
2. Install a custom official rom
i installed CM7, quite possibly the greatest rom for the slide, introducing a Gingerbread 2.3.3 UI and a bus load of features
3. Enable data2ext
this is VITAL for users because the slide has at most what, 150mb of space? that sucks right! so data2ext takes the data within the internal memory, and puts it on your SD card [data2EXT(ernal)] if you do this correctly, it will give you 500mb of space (well really more like 482mb) this makes your phone EXTREMELY fast.
4. enable apps2sd
download modinstalllocation from the android market and give it super user permissions to force install all apps to SD (can be moved freely between SD and internal) at the time of me writing this post (june 2, 2011) i have roughly 195 apps installed on my slide with apps2sd and data2ext both enabled
[WARNING, APPS-2-SD AND APPS-2-EXT ARE 2 DIFFERENT THINGS, DO NOT USE APPS-2-EXT AND DATA-2-EXT AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE DATA-2-EXT WILL BE REMOVED!!!!]
with data2ext
4. Install Flash player 10.- (whatever is the newest version)
to do this, you must have android sdk on your pc:
4a. put the flash player apk in the tools folder of android sdk
4b. open command prompt
4c. type in:
cd
cd c:\androidsdk\tools\ (or whatever path it is to get to the tools folder in SDK)
adb install (name of flash player file).apk
[it will install.......]
then it should say [success]
(note: can use this to install any app on your phone, i used it to install swype because CM7 did not have it)
4c. reboot your phone (do the process to get to the tools folder, then type adb shell, it should show a "#" type in "reboot" w/o quotations)
5. download CPU tuner from the android market
i used CPU tuner because it is free and official. you will need this to run high end games like Asphault 5 HD, Modern Combat: Sandstorm, etc. (this is wher it gets awesome). afterwards, open CPU tuner, click profiles, press the menu button on your phone, and click insert, create a new profile (i called mine gaming, because it helps run the stuff smoother, increases the power of coverage, both 2G/3G and Wifi, and a bunch of other stuff). I set mine to min. 787 MHz, max 864 MHz, and know that this doesnt come free, this thing will MURDER a battery, and the CPU tuner is designed to change profiles when battery is low unless you change the option in the settings!
[another warning: messing with the CPU settings can cause damage to your phone if you try and push it, if you do not have a reliable battery or screwed up phone, use caution when doig this.]
6. GET DOWNLOAD CRAZY
i have taken my phone to a new level! here is where the fun comes in:
A. get on the internet (or the XDA forums and search "[name of game] HVGA apk" or "gameloft games HD HVGA". and here is something little to no one knows, the Sony Xperia X8 has the same screen resolution (HVGA) and the games are compatible on the Slide, for example: people have modded the files in games like Asphault 5 so that it fits the screen, and they WORK on the slide. so far i currently have: Asphault 5, NOVA, NOVA 2, Guerilla Bob, Modern Combat Sandstorm, Gangstar: West Coast Hustle, Gangstar 2, Heroes of sparta, and am looking to find Galaxy on Fire 2. And hey if all you want is performance on non-modded currently compatible games, then it does the job too. It makes them faster and smoother!
I will be posting links once i get past the XDA rules (i am a new user and need to do 8 posts on the forum before i can post links!) i hope this helped everyone, and if you have something i can add to this list of things to do then feel free to post it in a comment or PM me
sincerely
Ognimnella
[EDIT (June 4th 2011)]
SKAm69 and gtmaster303, when i originally installed the HD games (thank you SKAm69 for your help) the games were EXTREMELY choppy even with the CPU tuned and almost 490mb of ram! so i went to the market (on PC internet) and found the latest version of flash, then googled "Flash Player 10.3 apk download" and downloaded it, then used Android SDK to install it! that simple!!
[EDIT (June 8th 2011)]
Please disregard the June 4th Edit flash does not work unfortunately. Thank everyone who allowed me to realize this! I apologize!

Flash Player 10, the full version? Isn't it supposed to require armv7?

Yes it can be installed, but it isn't working! Does this really play online flash videos on your phone?
BTW, Galaxy On Fire 2 works, there's no need for hvga apk, just hvga cache.

yes it plays the videos, as a matter a fact i was watching one last night (although i prefer to use skyfire because of the optimization feature!) but yes it did work and it worked smoothly!
@the GOF2 comment: how??? i tried everything and i get some kind of message about a "read error has occured!!" and the app closes!

I installed it once again, but when I open a page containing flash video, it says: latest flash player needs to be installed in both stock cm7 browser and dolphin 5 beta. So how did you make it working?

that would be quite a breakthrough in the slide community if we could see that running...
You sure it's not flash lite running? I'm assuming you're on stock espresso.

My apologies dudes yue guys were right it didn't actually run flash on there I jus happend to b on a site that let me run the videos (sorry for disappointment) but let me ask, is it possible for 10.1 to run on here? That wud b good! But still it did let me install and I saw signifigant improvement in the speed and quality of my games on a real note!
wait everyone they were right it is INSTALLED but doesnt run, i jus happend to be on a site that allowed me to test it. hey was it adobe flash or HTC flash that is installed on custom roms because i had a FROYO 2.2 rom and it worked just fine i was watching flash vids and everything someone please clear this up for me!
-and by the way, it is true that the speed and quality of my games improved after installing flash 10.3 on my phone that is definitely still a fact (playing asphalt 5 as we speak lol)

The stock Slide has a version of Flash Lite that i think HTC implemented. I don't know if that works with non HTC Sense ROMs. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

If Flash doesn't work on the Slide, I kinda doubt that it was the installing of Flash 10.3 that improved the quality of your games. Maybe it was something else you did at the same time you installed it. Try uninstalling it and see if you have the same performance in your games.
video showing your flash working?
perdy please?
Are u sure all the heavy games work on your mt3gs, im on cm7 and big games doesnt really work well for me...

I know you have some how to in here, but I don't see where data2ext/app2sd is.
Do you want to make this post better? How about some basic info or links to how tos and a link to the Flash player?
I tried to make this game work on my ideos x5 but it just wont work. It only works at the start when i begin the carrer then when i save and quit and then go back it has some errors ( You cant se the inviroment or you cant see the people).
Did somebody solved this problem ?
I tryed diffrent versions of the game and i was playing with chainfire 3d but it just wont work.
I had this problem and found a fix for the texture issues:
When you are in the game, press the Home button and then go back into the game and the textures should be fixed:
I'm playing it without any problems. I have edited the build.prop file to enable gameloft games (google it) and I have chainfire3d pro from market installed to be able to play nvidia tegra based games. I don't know what that have enabled me to play it but these are the only two things I have done to enable more and better gaming. Hope this helps m8.
Weird. I don't need to edit build.prop and I don't need to install Chainfire3d to make the game work. It works by itself. After install complete, just play the game. Finished it two days ago without any problem.
same here game works great on oxygen rom without any mods or tweaks
Hello.
I have had several problems with my LG Optimus L3 ( e400g ) .
What I have noticed is that after a while of playing videos in the Youtube application (about 30 or 40 minutes) This freezes and I have to close it from the administrator of native applications.
After that I open the application and load everything correctly, but when you play the video you see the black screen and only plays the audio.
This also happens when trying to play it from the native browser or dolphin browser or any other application on Youtube substitution , only the audio is heard , try to find a solution to this and read it in comments of another user, record a video that the image was fixed only when read by the phone , took the test and if it does, restart it and run it all again , but in other occasions had happened to me on Stock ROMS .
Now I have a rom based Latte v2, and I keep passing the same.
It is quite annoying and it can not be. Do not know if something would serve a logcat , but just leave it.
Thanks!

Hi! Did you try to install flash player?
For 2.x to 4.3 ==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/adobe-flash-player-11-1-115-81-final-t2042464
I try to see if it works or is the same way.
Thank you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
I'm sure the problem is the application of Youtube.
I have extracted from an older application (4.2.16) and this version works perfectly me, besides that is superior in all aspects to the current versions.
Thanks for the help and if you like some moderator can close the topic. :laugh:
So the latest 3.0.1 Phoenix update is fantastic with com.tencent.id the western version, smooth as butter!
But here's my problem
I'm playing the asian version com.pubg.krmobile and already got my save file using this version.
The high settings for the game isn't there, the customs settings that game helper is applying for the western version is not there.
This leaves me with low settings and also a weird bug when aiming. Right clicking makes the mouse disappear and I can aim as normally. But somehow there is a limit to how far left or right I can aim. It's like the mouse hits the corner of the screen and the aim stops.
These two games are almost identical so I tried changing some settings making Game Helper think pubg.krmobile it is tencent.id by changing the configs in game helper data/data root folder. Anyone got any great ideas for fixing the mouse bug?
I have the same issue ??
Yeah figured I'm not alone.
Too bad I cant register on Phoenix OS homepage. Get error with the register form saying the security question isn't filled out. Would be nice to be able and ask the makers behind this awesome OS to add support for us too.
Is this problem gonna solve??? hoped better than blustacks

Hi there with the Legacy Xperia LineageOS Testing build i got wonderfully Netflix working
on the Xperia Play
see in this Video(Changed Sound in Youtube because my Audio Recording was horrible)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFKfy28bDVM
You can download the Image from this Post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78102650&postcount=2589
Many Thanks to the Legacy Xperia Team for this wonderfully LineageOS for this Phone.
All work exept Bluetooth
wow what version of lineage is it? hows gaming performance? i gave away my last xperia play( i had 4 at a point) one month ago cause i got a moto z2 with the game pad...but i still love the xplay!
Hi sorry for my Delay with the Answer.
It is Lineage 14.1 Nougat.
The E-Psxe Performance is better than in the Legacy Xperia 4.44 Images.
Telegram,Whatsapp,YalpStore(slim Playstore Alternative),
Netflix,GLTools(Chainfire3D Alternative for newerOS) and others work fine.
I will test it with PPSSPP and StarTrekTimelines next Time.
It was difficult to install because my Windows10 have many Driver Problems with the Fastboot Drivers.
And you should use a A1 Micro SD Card...
...because the OS is on this SD Card.
It work all exept Bluetooth and the AnalogNubs.
For my playing Psx Rpgs are the Analog Nubs not that important.
greetings from Germany.
Glad people are still using this device. Is this device still usable for basic taskts in 2019?
Which custom ROM do you recommend? I am looking for one which is the lightest, fastest and uses least system resources and RAM.
Mostly the Rom is not the real Problem.
This Phone is definly to slow for GoogleServices like:
-the big Playstore
-Google Play Services
-and other Google Things.
I simple recommend to:
-root the Device
-deinstall all Things what you personaly not need:
For me Things like:
Calculator,Calendar,SpeechRecorder,Google Things,Themes,PicoTTS and big Memoryhungry Launchers
After this i installed my important Things:
-Yalp Store(Small Apk for Download Apks directly from Google)
With Yalp Store you can make easily Updates when you want.
-Telegram Messenger
-Whatsapp Messenger,
-EsTaskManager(look on an older Version withoud Ads)
-Vlc Player
-Sms/mms and Phone Apps
-Epsxe (work wonderfully exept Nubs..played Grandia on it)
-GLTools(its like Chainfire3D but for newer OS)
I am with Messengers UptoDate
So i can:
Phone,writeSMS,Telegram&Whatsapp Messaging with working Camera for Photos...
...and the Importantest Thing ...Gaming PSX Rpgs.
I stillt search for an good Snes and GBA Emulator.
Maybe PPSSPP will work with Mana Khemia
...o i have Drastic paid..maybe it work fine too for Dreamcast.
LineageOS Install was bit difficult but it work realy fine on an A1 SD Card and i can use normal Headphones because Bluetooth is not working with this Image.
Edit:
I do use a very small Launcher named Zeam Launcher.
Edit Edit:
Oops Drastic is for Nds
Is anyone aware of where the sources can be gotten from I’ve only found up to 13 on their GitHub
