Noooooo!!! I cant believe this - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

So I just got off the phone with HTC and they said this device will not get the ics update. This is a very sad disappointment tom me. I should've just gotten the Sensation in the first place. Well the only thing now is to see if t-mobile will get the iP5 and if so here I come iOS

April Fool's Day was a month and a half ago.

This is no April fools joke.

I wasn't expecting an update at all anyway. HTC and T-Mo don't seem to be showing any interest in supporting the device more than in a very cursory way. They made their money off the device and are washing their hands.
The dev community has been the life of this device in my opinion since about the beginning of October for me. TBalden, Blue, and Undead are the reason I didn't bail and sell the device. I see no reason to change my decision simply because of HTC's affirmation that they don't care to support their customers.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

So what am I to do next I want to root and do custom mods and roms and stuff but idk Imma end up messing my phone up. I want an iPhone 5 but this device I have now will do til I get it in the mean time I need a dedicated person to help me put sense 4.0 up and running on my device.

Thinking about getting a Samsung for my next device next year. I just hope Cyanogen convinced them to make high-end sliders.

I just honestly believe that Samsung is a lame a** boring ui...... It's kinda just Samsung HTC and Motorola in the good ui sections of a smartphone

according to this we are not out of the running for ics. the amaze was just added as well as a few other phones. also it says any phone with less than 512 mb ram will not recieve the update and we have more. so i would like to believe we may still get it.

Support from HTC for this device has always been anemic at best. I'm guessing kornyone will have CM9 RCs before there's official ICS available.

I wouldn't go that far. Maybe great for some people, but still not quite there yet for me. But, I'm encouraged by the progress that has been made. I need a ROM that just works, everything works, without any "gotchas" or having to do anything extraordinary.. just works. That's why I stick with tweaked stock ROMs for now. My MT4GS is my only phone, I don't have a landline or another phone as a spare.

The ICS update is not really much of an issue... Get yourself a virtuous inquisition 4.0.3, I am running it right now since I got the doubleshot over eBay a month ago. Everything is working quite good and stable. Tbalden is stil working on it, he released kernel 3 a week ago, so the doubleshot is running up to 1.7ghz in case of need... don't whine, just get s-off, root and you'll get one of the most versatile qwerty smartphones out there...
Edit: you can check out Rootzwiki for more info...
Here is the download link to vinq kernel 3 v2: virtuous.prp2.com/doubleshot/inquisition/virtuous_inquisition-v4.0.2-doubleshot-kernel3_v2.zip
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

To be honest, CM9 currently runs a litle better than Virtuous Inquisition. Less force crashes, a slightly more polished experience, and the battery life is a little better. However, Virtuous runs Nova by default and also has the MIUI style battery bar by default.
Recommendation: try both. A few less FC's and more polish vs. a few more shiny things and a little less stability.

Believe me I'm in the same boat and cm9 is working amazingly for me as a daily driver, everything that I need works though bluetooth is slightly buggy sometimes (though that may be my fault as I jumped right in after flashing and MAY have accidentally restored my stock 2.3.4 pairings. Trust me I deliver for a living so this phone is my lifeline and the devs have and will continue to keep it a stable lifeline at worst and a superior lifeline at best! Thanks for some great work and if I can ever help... drop a line. If any of you team ds devs are ever in my hometown hit me up for a beer or some pizza!

I had some serious issues with Cm9... WiFi not working, force closing apps, did not even managed to get mybackup working to restore my data, apps etc. Camera was not running properly and the launcher itself was not that smooth, compared to nova... I'll wait for the next update or the RC to try it out again, till then I am staying with vinq.
I suppose it's more or less personal preference which rom you choose atm
Edit: I get round 1 fc in 24h and when I start the app again, it's always working. Do not have any stability issues with the new kernel...

Look, tbalden is working on both so you don't have to feel like betraying cm team or something like that... I mean I am switching from cm9 to vinq and back (right now staying on vinq because of the better experience) and trying things out. It's important for the devs that we do it to get rid of the errors...
I can recommend vinq, you can backup cm9, flash vinq, try it out (report errors) and then switch back if you don't like it... Not that I'm trying to convince you, just listing the options. Basically that is a question of 20 minutes to try a rom out, it's not like you will be formating your windows pc... :thumbup:
Cm9 has great support, I was running CM7 on my old Desire Z but ICS is just a totally different experience

Probably have reached or are approaching the limits of what can be done by tweaking existing ROMs.
I'm not sure if we have anyone in the community that has the time and skills for an AOSP bringup and owns an Infuse. Once an AOSP bringup is complete, there are a LOT more options as far as places to take our device.

After coming from the x10 forum....i can wholeheartedly agree. Those crazy bastards did some outrageous stuff with stock. Heck they somehow shoved gingerbread on that thing before it even got 2.1 and thats with a locked bootloader.
Don't hate lol. As people have already said we already have some nice changes to the stock rom and more to come. I came from the Evo and had cm7...oh how that will be amazing.
From what I've read devs are working on cm but I don't know how that is going but at least its going. Devs have phones all they need it time I too hope its sooner rather than later.

Entropy512 wrote that at this point, the developers have done as much as they can by tweaking the stock ROM. In other words, not much can be done until another ROM is pushed from Samsung and the carriers. MikeyMike01 countered and said that this is not true at all. holland6045 agreed, and said that his experience with a certain phone is that a *lot* can be done by tweaking the stock ROM of a phone. CHUDLINGS said that developers are working on porting CM7, and that more time is needed. bignate78 mentions that (possibly) a Samsung-delivered Gingerbread ROM is likely to be released in Candada soon, and that this would speed up development.
Not being very familiar with the development status, I would summarize as follows: At this point, we are limited to tweaking the stock ROM. Although developers are working on porting CM7, many are waiting for a Gingerbread ROM to be pushed to the phone (likely in Canada first) so that they do not have to start from scratch.
[@Anyone: If I've misinterpreted anything, do correct me.]
I think the part about waiting for gingerbread to drop on the canadian carrier is the most accurate
who the hell wants to waste so much time getting it over from another gs device when it's nearly ready to drop in some form ?
Yeah. I believe gtg made a comment that there are a number of tweaks to Infused that he's not bothering with because he'd have to redo them when the Canadian Gingerbread release drops.
Alright, thanks for the info men.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
No problem. Also thanks to the guy who pretty much translated that all for him.
Oh and just for the record, as an example of what you can do when you really want to with a stock fw: the devs over on the x10 forum (while not infighting ) effectively gutted the stock to the bare necessities and transplanted gingerbread onto that...because even though Sony got hacked, they do a darn good job at locking down a bootloader. But in the end they bypassed that too.
Also i must say i like the community here much better, a lot more friendly and helpful.

I would never go there for roms.
I am running A6 as we speak which I got from these forums.
Camera doesn't work (for video or pictures)
SU doesn't work (haven't toyed with workaround yet)
3g (I am trying work arounds now, doesn't work by default)
Still a really impressive interface to play around with, and I think I can live with the cons for a little while until a more stable rom gets hosted. I will say I am in love with this os though.
The interface alone is so modern and fresh feeling I can't entirely explain it.
kjdoug............THIS is the only site you need to mod your captivate. forget any torrent site when it comes to the OS on your phone.
BTW welcome to the forum! READ lots, you will learn, also there are a lot of top notch guys on here that will help you out.

The 3g works without any manipulations, almost everything works as a matter of fact. Calendar sync did need some .apk switched in to get calendar working in beta2 but at least for me in beta3 I didn't have to redo anything. All my apps from tibu work and download correctly. It just seems to be very smooth.
PS. I also upgraded to the ATT SGS2 and love it but I also have my cappy as backup and love messing with all the roms for it still. Basically testing it all out. Plus I am pleasantly surprised that the cappy got ICS before the SGS2.

yahh I'm on the Beta 1 dev version, I feel it is smoother, there is no need for scripts anymore, everything works without doing extra flashes(besides kernel and superuser). I get much better battery life out of this one too! The one from DemonWav's thread.

HTC sensation

Is the HTC sensation a better device in terms of support?
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using xda premium
The Sensation has been out and running for a while now and has seen It's share of updates, so I think, and this is just my opinion that the Sensation won't be getting *much more attention after ICS.
Whether HTC decides to take the DoubleShot to ICS or stall It's ota update once again, these very talented devs here should and will make this a fun phone

short answer: yes.
long answer: no, both suck when compared to other popular phones. They didn't even get cm7 beyond some early alphas not really suitable for daily usage.
you may want to look elsewhere if you wanna have an active development community (hint: sgs2)

Started to....but didnt want the hassle
But it is the users like you who halt development, I've noticed more so of people just wanting to give up all together because a device don't "officially" get this or that, hell I remember when the Speedy had no CM love, then toast comes along and builds it from ground up (basically) and BAM official CM support! Or when the shifts update was only to Sense 2.1 and we managed to squeeze Sense 3.0 into it....or my favorite when the EVO GB update still left them with Sense 1.0 and they were actually able to use the Shifts parts to upgrade their UI version. There are tons of things, really good things that can be done with Android and all it takes is someone NOT giving up...there will always be a workaround we just got to find it

Slide is still worth more...
When quad core phones start rolling, prices on these dual cores will drop like rocks. And the single core snapdragons and scorpions will become the best bargain since the $99 touchpad Honestly, there was no real need for me to jump from the G2 to the Doubleshot. But I wanted the extra beef under the hood. Lol, and the resale value.
I don't understand how people can compare QWERTYs and non QWERTYs. It's like apples to oranges. I would never "upgrade" to a Sensation, even for free. No keyboard = not the phone for me, no matter how much support it has.
Devs can crank out roms like no tomorrow, but that won't change the fact that I'm still missing a keyboard.

that's up to you really. putting aside the hardware differencies, keep in mind that:
-sensation is getting official ICS these days, our phone may never get it
-CM development for sensation, albeit slow, is still going on. CM for our phone is most likely indefinately on hold due to the mantainer personal's issues
if it was for me, i wouldn't spend that much money on an almost identical phone, i'd save for the next gen ones

Why did i ever trade?!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678524
well, the mytouch 4g now has a almost completely fully functioning JB ROM and the g2x has a half-assed alpha test (sorry, EB team, not trying to belittle your work). grrrr. bout to go trade for a 4g slide. what really eats me, is that the G2x is a superior phone hardware wise to most phones even now. and definitively better than the mytouch. I feel the g2x community has fallen apart and due to that, there will never be a completely functional well.....anything. we should be all working together to iron out the wrinkles in JB not fighting over who developed what first or who can or cant use what code....I'm sorry, but who gives a flying f*** about the code when nothing since froyo has actually been 100% stable and functional on our devices?
im sorry, im just a bit meeved that i traded now. the reason why is in the specs of our phone:
http://geekaphone.com/compare/T-Mobile-G2x-vs-T-Mobile-myTouch-4G
and the state of our community as G2x owners:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784980
I'm sure i'll be flamed, shunned, and burned for this thread but i really dont care. i like my G2x despite its many downfalls. i want to see it prosper and run JB and other future versions of android.

Using the old baseband I have been 100% stable since I first got the g2x... everything works perfectly (aside from slow gps but it still works)
HFP, CM7, and CM7.2 just to name a few have no bugs other than user error which as we all know can't be fixed (because you just can't fix stupid)
I do understand where your coming from however your "facts" are a little skewed.
Good luck with the coding, I hope you will be the next great Dev!
Pin it to Win it.
Even though I don't use my G2X as my main phone anymore, it is my go to device as my tablet device. I know I don't have a tablet, but when I need to read news, stream videos, read emails, do all sorts of things, the G2X is my go to device. Hands down CM7 is solid and stable. I do need to reboot it a couple of times a week but I'm not stressed about it.
I've not updated the BB mainly because of the ROMs needing a special modification, and lose access to all the previous ROMs.
I don't care really. I want to use the ICS ROMs but they have bugs. Again all the hate goes to LG. Devs do best they can with little they do have access to.
I have the Galaxy S2, Amaze, and G2X. Hands down, my go to device is my G2X when I am home and in WiFi range. Its faster and snappier. What a waste LG did. Even display is better than the Amaze. It really pisses me off that HTC went cheap on the Amaze's display.
I use the GS2 now because it's got a stable CM9, and honestly detested the Stock ROM. If G2X had a stable CM9 (Full Support with Drivers and everything) and the GPS issue was reliable, I swear I'd go back to my G2X as my main device.
As for reliability is concerned, GS2 and Amaze hands down. Again, pisses me off LG screwed this phone royally.

Using the old baseband I have been 100% stable since I first got the g2x... everything works perfectly (aside from slow gps but it still works)
HFP, CM7, and CM7.2 just to name a few have no bugs other than user error which as we all know can't be fixed (because you just can't fix stupid)
I do understand where your coming from however your "facts" are a little skewed.
Good luck with the coding, I hope you will be the next great Dev!

yeah. i needs my GPS, thats a game changer for me. im still reading all the stuff that CM suggests before doing anything. baby steps. gonna try and compile a new APK before i take on a ROM.

Even though I don't use my G2X as my main phone anymore, it is my go to device as my tablet device. I know I don't have a tablet, but when I need to read news, stream videos, read emails, do all sorts of things, the G2X is my go to device. Hands down CM7 is solid and stable. I do need to reboot it a couple of times a week but I'm not stressed about it.
I've not updated the BB mainly because of the ROMs needing a special modification, and lose access to all the previous ROMs.

thats exactly what i was saying. this is the best phone i have ever owned hardware wise. Yes, this is mostly Nvidia & LG's fault, but its still frustrating. my fiancee just got the blaze and its ok. its pretty snappy, but when my G2x is on stock rom, it stomps it... no questions asked. and yeah, the GPS bug is what i was talking abot from pre v21y. also, it is really a pain in the a$$ just to figure out how to downgrade basebands, let alone actually do it. alas, the g2x is my daily driver so i need it to preform well and be stable. that means i need bluetooth calling, working GPS, MMS, all that.
Yeah... Can't argue with you there. The G2x is a POS. I traded my MT4G for this phone too, while I don't really regret it since I got more money once I sold the G2x, the MT4G was far more reliable and every ROM just worked on it.
Either way, it was a lesson learned to never buy another LG phone no matter what the specs are. Samsung and HTC is the way to go from now on. Or better yet, Nexus!

Disagree. Gingerbread 2.3.3 stunk on the G2x, and Nvidia's policy of keeping its drivers "closed-source" sucks!

Strongly agree! For $350, I know what I'd buy in a second if my G2x took a crap on me. Still, considering my 2 year contract came with a "free" G2x on each line nearly a year ago - I am not complaining. By the way, stock based 2.3.4 Gingerbread ROMs define stable for me (Thanks Kwes and Buru). However, I suppose I like a little instability in my life though since I married a woman?!? and use CM7 ROMs!?!:silly:
i've been seriously condsidering getting a loan and buying a nexus, than cancelling with t-mobile lol it'd probably be cheaper in the long run.
It's just a phone. If you want to be on the bleeding edge and have something to play around with just get a nexus 7.
I think a lot of people are just jealous that others get ics/jb and don't realize that it's not that big of a difference. g2x works great when I don't have my tablet.

Most Stable ROM atm?

A year ago, the MT4G boards were extremely active, but we've seen a huge decline in popularity on these boards. Because of this, polls are no longer taken on who's everyone's favorite ROM is anymore and the MT4G Bible isn't being updated.
I was waiting a while before rooting my MT4G and decided to take the leap tonight. I flashed the JB Dark Unicorn ROM, and it's been disastrous. Every app I press comes up with "______ has stopped working" and I'm basically stuck there. (can't even post there for help since I have less than 10 posts)
I'm sure no one wants to go through the frustration that I'm going through, so I was wondering if we should have some type of poll to see which ROMs out there are the most popular and stables ones?

Well the Dark Unicorn ROMs are some of the most popular and stable ROMs. Rarely are there problems with them. Could you post what process you went through to wipe and flash?

good luck finding a fully working and stable ICS or JB ROM.
you can try Synthetic_aospX, it's about as stable as you can get with ICS

Second this rom. Quite stable and nearly everything works! I'd flash a different kernel though (AOSPX stock, mintchocolate chip), and its pretty damn awesome.
I will try soon
Synthetics ROM AOSPX is definitely the most stable ICS for glacier, IMO.

Go with cm7. By far the most polished of the glacier roms.
Also, on first boot, don't set up instantly. Let it sit there for 5 mins to settle. Makes a huge improvement in stability for me.

While I agree that CM7 is very polished and a great choice, I don't agree that it is "by far the most polished."
But again, you can't go wrong with it.

What would you say is more polished? Not to be argumentative, just curious. I literally buy my phones based on what the cm team supports.

More polished? Nothing. But of the top of my head, aospx is AS polished. At least it was last time I tried it. Mind you, much of it's stability comes from the fact that it isn't super feature packed liked CM. Less addons = less potential issues. But again, aospx was always 100% trouble free for me.
That is a good idea though, buying devices based on official CM support :thumbup:

Good thing with cm7 is that it works right from the getgo no fixes or mods needed IMO.but A CM9 rom (port) like mimicry is good as long as you know what to add to it,,What I mean is if you dont add things like lowmic fix ,camera fix and a newer stable kernel such as frosted cherry with the 720 fix it pretty much sucks! with those mods/fixes it makes it pretty damn good and stable!No offense to Awesome but I havent had much luck with dark unicorn myself.
I agree that synthetic's aospX ROM is very stable. Stable enough in fact that my whole family is now using it.
