Use CM6.1 instead
#TeamFenix (IRC channel: #mytouchslide on Freenode) presents Cyanogenmod 6
Details/Goal: I've owned Android phones for about 2 years now, I've always enjoyed making minor tweaks to the previously simple CyanogenMod so that it would suit my purposes (lightweight, fast, good battery life). When CM6 came along I was slightly distraught that it had taken a turn for heavily drifting from the old AOSP with Google Apps (not entirely for the worse though). So I decided that I will modify CM6 to suit my needs and eventually compile it from source instead of relying on Eugene's or the nightlies.
Changes:
2.0
-Stuff was done, or something
-EVEN MOAR AUDIO FILES
-Better bootanimation
-100% untested!
1.9 (unreleased)
-**** all
1.8:
-Rebased on newest nightly
-Removed lots of crapware
-Made a flashable .zip that will let you restore said crapware
-Played with the kernel
--Apparently broke with the kernel, must use OC kernel (I think)
-It's BLACK!
-Fixed the force closes (by way of apk removal) of the Pinyin IME/OpenWnn IME.
1.7.1:
-Minor build.prop change to allow stock Swype to install/work
-something else I forget
1.7:
-Removed Swype as it is for wrong device (try the 2 linked below
-Custom pr0tips.apk (built off LithiumMod's source, thanks guys!)
-Bootanimation is back (custom #TeamFenix one soon!)
-Bluetooth audio (possibly) fixed, see instructions below
-Fixed the provision annoyance
Flashed and running. All good.
I think I'm having poor 3G reception at this time. WiFi works though....
I can confirm Bluetooth is working!
Keyboard works except the FN and Shift indicators.
More testing tomorrow....
I was able to update Swype using my method here:

Alright, that's what I'm on atm
flashing now
All the roms i've seen for the slide so far use ADW or HELIX launcher. To be honest I don't hear much talk about launcher pro. Is there a reason people don't use launcher pro? Or is it just personal preference?
rawr! i just finished flashing v1.1 and it works awesome, whats diff with v1.2?...OK flashing v1.2, camera and camcorder work great
Can anyone confirm the camera is working well?

Awesome
Going to swap out my other froyo rom for this one and see how it goes.
So far, so good.
Apps2SD isn't working, right? Or do I need to do something to enable it?
I'm already missing certain Sense elements but the things I've gained are keeping my interest.
Thanks to all devs involved!
Thanks. Great rom, camera/camcorder working. Not sure how to get apps to sd. Also Has anyone figured out how to get swype working?

Personally I HATE Helix and Launcherpro is going to be a paid app eventually, I don't an issue with people making their applications cost money but I prefer to support a developer who's work will be free forever (hopefully) and accepts donations.
and with ADW I can set the overshoot to insanely high amounts

Apps2SD works fine (tested Froyo's native move to SD, with the Dictionary.com application on a 100% FAT32 card)
I can suggest some replacements to Sense applications if you wish (Beautiful Widgets + it's widget packs are great alternatives to their stock Espresso counterparts)

I'm not quite sure, I thought I had it working but it errors out (wrong device). You could try one of these versions listed, I will contact Eugene today or tomorrow to see if he has any insight
Also I was partially wrong about the camera being 100% fixed, the flash doesn't work (I saw a commit that probably will fix it by @cmsrc so it may be working tomorrow)
edit: The camera LED only works for the camera, not external programs. The aforementioned fix should correct it.

Apps2SD works, go into SETTINGS; CYANOGENMOD SETTINGS; APPLICATION SETTINGS; then check able to move apps to external and set storage to external... then just move all apps that you want to the SD card and your all set!

Its not Apps2SDext, its the native froyo apps2sd
I'm liking this rom so far and will use it as my daily tomorrow and see how it goes.
Some Issues:
The only way to bring up the lock screen is to press the power button or menu button. Home, trackpad, back, genius doesn't.

What's wrong with the Froyo implementation? Personally I think the old method was a PITA
Also those aren't issues, but configurable options. See CM Settings > Input > Trackpall unlock/wake. The others seem rather redundant (do you really wanna wear out home/menu/back instead of using the trackpad? Personal preference I guess, you can set WAKE_UNLOCK in the /usr/keylayout files though if that's really your cup of tea)

It's just that on the stock htc rom it does this and I thought it was an issue. Didn't know it was as simple as mapping the keys in some config file. Thanks for clearing all this up all I need is the trackpad.
ahhh idk about froyo roms iam stuck on my custom sence ie.friend stream so it makes me not want to chang and just wait till 2,2 comes out with it

Oh I thought you were implying that there was something wrong with Froyo's, my bad
No problem, I recommend disabling surface dithering under Performance, makes scrolling much more fluid in my opinion.
Unsure if this has been posted before but by replacing the gta3.set in Android/com.rockstar.gta3 (I think that's correct) you get lights, shadows, blood, better rendering etc. There is no TouchPad specific version that ive seen but this one works. Backup your original just incase.
http://db.tt/CA4uhInX
After you replace it, start up the game and go into controls and move the virtual buttons back to their original positions as they get moved.
Again sorry if double post.
Thanks!
(I take no credit for the modified file)
didn't even know they had GTA for the TP. I'll be looking into this one for sure.
Yep in android market, you may have to tweak build prop for it to show or buy with a different device and side load.

thx
but still no better graphics light i dont know the game is lighter more son and car shine!
but that's all the road etc doesn't change!
is this the ipad graphics paths?
made the game really laggy for me, im reverting back to before, thanks anyway though.
im running alpha 3.5 by the way.
Changed everything for me. Lights now work etc. I'm on 3.5 beta and of course it uses more resources this way. Be sure to kill any tasks before playing.

Cyanogenmod settings/Tablet tweaks has an option for full screen apps so you can keep your status bar visible or hide it. I use the home button to view/hide status bar in full screen games.

Thanks for the tip. Good find
Cool,thanks for the tip.Yay,blood! LOL
yeah it works
Thx love it!, and lags not so much! Seems alright no overclocking
Okay, after testing I had to revert to original .set file. The new .set file was causing my miui.us to crash randomly on it's own. At first I thought it was caused by my tweaking with overclocking, but even after I reversed those changes I would still randomly get booted out of miui. After I reverted the .set file the crashes stopped. Bummer. I really was digging the brighter graphics (and the blood, lol)-although it the game was noticeably more laggy.
I find swipepad amazing, but it fails to turn up some of the times upon swiping. I tried placing the zone at bottom (so as to avoid conflict with phone's other swipes) but still occasionally the pad doesn't turn up at all.
Wrote to dev, and was told that the app has to be made to work on large screens (I'm using galaxy note). But no actions upon it by dev. I purchased all associated apps but all waste.
Does anyone know how to make the app work RELIABLY?
It works great for me with galaxy note at the default dpi. Never failed.
However if u change the dpi from 320 to lower values it does not always invoke the app. The reason is that the zone becomes smaller with smaller dpi
Do you use a lower dpi?
I did mail the dev about giving an option to let the user decide the size of the zone but no reply
Also enable the option to have it running in the taskbar. This prevents the system from killing it. ( i have never had to do it as killing by system never happened in my usage. )
I also found that having lower rt and lt coners invoke the app the best.

Didn't change dpi.
When you say lt and rt what does it mean?

Ok, you mean left and right. Got it.
I think it fails to invoke at times as Android functions and various apps functions too work with the same swipe actions.
Bottom zones are more reliable for the same reason, there are a few times when there is a meaning to up swipe in Android or apps. (scroll up us not an option at times, as in home screen or in dialer)
Bottom left and right zone means you are making a diagonal swipe, which again is not very common in Android or apps as an action.
I'm just guessing with these explanations here. I'm rather confused by dev's response that there needs to be some work done regarding large screen devices.
i find it real annoying that almost half the time, there's a 1.5-2 second delay when i select an app. It'll say "Start [App]..."

Which device? Doesn't happen with me
The app is bugged and never updated. If you hide pads, they show up at random. Also the app needs customizations to select. The black plain background sucks imo and 1 default sound does too.
I bought all the add-ons for it and kinda regret it. They aren't worth the money and the app fails imo when compared to wave launcher.

Working perfectly on Desire HD running MIUI. Sometimes, the app got killed by the system, so I convert the app into system app in TB, and voila! The app is now invincible.
I've rarely seen the delay, because of the OC maybe?

After a lot of hours here is the standalone radio widget. It works on stock launchers and tested on Next Launcher so I think it will work on other launchers.
It has been re-coded to work specifically using 180dpi but as I only have 1 unit which is 800x480 I can't test on other resolutions.
I have done it in 2 flavours, red and blue.
Install it as a normal app rather than move it over to system/apps.
I did test it installing it both ways and the power button (which was wonky to start with) seemed to want to work properly if installing as a normal app. The power button definitely works in Next Launcher (it switches on and off).
I can't make any guarantees that it is perfect but I will try and fix any problems that no doubt will arise.
Anyhoo, enough talking pish (yes I am Scottish), get downloading lads and lasses
Thats great pal!! Ta very much! I aint scottish, but lived thefe for some time. Best place ever, aye!

Edit : Please note I can only confirm this works for the Galaxy S8+ (G955U) as this is the device from which I've ripped it from.

Does this work screen off with 3rd party apps like hangouts? Initially it wouldn't glow the edge if the screen were off unless it was a text message.

Thanks for this!! Works great!!
Here's the update if anybody hasn't gotten it yet
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...se/edge-screen-3-1-00-1-android-apk-download/
Great update, thanx for letting us know, I almost never remember to check Galaxy Apps updates
Outstanding. Works on my S8. . Thanks!!
Actually it doesn't seem to be working on my S8. It allows me to make the changes in settings but now the edge lighting doesn't come on with any of the apps I selected and even with messages/text.
I know this update is posted in the S8+ section so could that be the reason it's not working or does anyone know how to fix? thx
Just installed it and it only works while the screen is off unfortunately

Mines not working at all.
It's a step in the right direction, but I think they should give you the option to manually pick the color for individual apps. Because I use Light Flow and I would much prefer if the edge lighting matched the same color as my notification LED.
Only one app was updated that was Edge Screen on my device. I have a G955U, and I ripped the apk and uploaded it. I haven't checked, but between devices the libraries could have been slightly different and the update redirects to multiple unreferenced versions for different devices.
So, sorry but I can only vouch this working on my end for the Galaxy S8+. I will update my download to reflect this statement.
Can anyone tell me how to actually get the edge lighting to work?! I have it set it on for EVERY APP, yet, I have never actually witnessed it work!
After recent update it still works for me only in stock samsung messenger
and calendar apps. Nothing else, same as before.
If it works - it works in all possible combinations (face up/down, screen on/off).
