[REQUEST] Are there any skins out there for us? - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

Are there any skins for our mySense 3.0 roms. I want to do a lot of customizing but I dont wanna do any thing that requires root and stuff like that. If there isn't are there any apk files to make our mytouch devices look newer in the software dept.

I wasn't able to find any. I think the doubleshot got played with this mySense crap. It sucks so bad its not even funny. If we could have gotten Sense 2.1 I would have been happy because that's far more capable than anything I've seen a dev do with mySense. Just my 2cents though

It is because of the Genius system. From the original MyTouch, the whole line incorporated the Genius system, which is a modified (and more powerful) version of Dragon Naturally Speaking. HTC and Nuance developed Genius, with HTC modifying Sense to provide hooks for Genius to work with, giving it many more capabilities than it could have by being just a slap-on app. That is why you can't take Genius and just install it on another phone, the necessary hooks in Sense aren't there.

So I guess the answer is no. I also want to ask will gingerbreak work on this device? If not is there a good one click root app for our device?

The only way I know to root this phone is by getting S-Off, or S-ON Unlocked. Then flashing a SU Zip.

I installed HTC Sync to get the drivers
I used HTC's unlocker steps found here:
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
I used Hasoon's little PC app to get the clockwork recovery, root, and to flash superuser. It's not the only way, and it's not much easier than other ways, but the app has useful instructions in it that helped a bit.
I used fastboot to flash kernals that I pulled from rom zips, and ROM Manager to flash the actual rom. Rom manager first, then fastboot.
here are some useful links;

The original MyTouch was AOSP, it shared everything with the G1 except for more internal memory and RAM.
The MyTouch 3G slide was the first to use the Genius button (never used it when I had it).

Just an FYI.....the standard Revolutionary method is only 3 steps and very simple. If you take that plunge, there are dozens of people here that are more than willing to help you out.

I've tried the Rev Method twice and still didn't work and I need to know the meaning of flashing something and I want to use a live wallpaper from sense 4. What I really want is the HTC One S but as you all can tell I have a two year contract....so I want to get my phone as close as possible to sense 4 and that's what I will do. I will try doing that SU zip thing and then see what happens if not I guess imma just rely on apks and widgets and WidgetLocker

Try using different launchers. Golauncher is free, and has tons of themes(like skins) to choose from, and doesn't need root.

CM7 on HTC ChaCha

Hi all, I am keen to get a port of CM7 to this phone after having just taken delivery of one. If anyone else has any interest in this and/or has previous experience in porting CM7, I'd be interested in hearing from you!
You will need root and custom recovery first...

I have interest, given that the bootloader is open. Another issue is money, so I guess you won't be seeing me around anytime soon around this parts, but I might buy the device eventually sometime later.
Edit: Try z4root, gingerbreak and superoneclick to root. If you are able to root it, there might be hope for y'all.
Oh yes please, custom mod or something to be able to change the "facebook button" functionality!

If you root the phone somehow, (anyone tried gingerbreak, superoneclick and z4root?) Cm would be possible. A fake recovery hijack could be made, allowing you to retain your real recovery, eliminating the need to have an s-off device. Root it and you'll see cm7.

Had a quick read of Koush's guide to creating a new recovery image - feels fairly doable so I'm going to press on with attempting root. A bit short of time at the moment so it might be a few weeks before I report back...
tried universal root, z4root and gingerbreak - no luck perhaps root via USB then - superOneClick is next up.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141380
makes sense to use that thread!

Newcomers please read me, a helpful little guide

While I'm seeing an influx of new comers to the MyTouch4G section, most likely due to newer phones coming out and picking these up cheap.
I'd like to remind you of a couple of things prior to just jumping in and rooting your phone.
Disclaimer: i am not a mod or an admin, just a humble "helper outer"
First Things First.​Rooting one's phone is not to be taken lightly. When you root your phone to are basically giving your self SU access to the /system files of your phone. While this allows for GREAT expansion of the devices capabilities, you need to under stand that it can also brick your device in a heart beat. I know a guy who lives in St.Louis who said all he did was flash a custom font, via an application, on his rooted droid 2 and it bricked. You need to read, and understand what you are getting into. Because when the rubber meets the road you are the only one who can save your phone.
Secondly and just as important as anything else else.​please install the ADB drivers at a minimum. TrueBlue_Drew has put together a very simple walk-through with video for this http://bit.ly/q7MP9t. Please take the time to learn the basic commands and what they do.
Third, and this can prevent some headaches down the road​please go and check which eMMC chipset you have. Our phones where made in two different places, and have two different Chip set serial numbers. One of them is problematic and one of them is pretty safe. Please take time to verify which chipset you have prior to flashing anything. And yes it can be done without root access [http://bit.ly/y2zmdr]. Please see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
Fourth, and this is where the rubbers meets the road. ​A)
You need to decide which root method is for you. There are two different proven methods out there. One is known as the root.sh method. This is the simplest method. the long and short of it is this. You download a packet, extract a folder to your SD Cards root directory. Then you download, install and run a program called VISIONary. after you do that you enter a simple command or two to run the script in the extracted folder. you can find that method here root.sh method now this method will work to turn your phone into a rooted s-off phone. and is super easy i used this method to root my phone with s-off before i even left the T-Mobile store when i bought the devices. However it only turns off the security flags. IF you flash the PD15IMG to return to a stock fashion it will remove all SU rights.
B)
the second method is a bit more entailed but completely removes the security flags. IT's called ./gfree method. Now you need to be careful because this will root a phone with a bad eMMC chipset. Meaning it will be easier for you to brick your device. If that happens you own a 200-500 USD paper weight. And as of currently there is no sure fire way to recover from it. you can find more on that method here ./gfree rooting method.
c)
ONLY IF YOU HAVE THE STOCK 2.3.4 (GINGERBREAD) ROM
you must downgrade to 2.2.1 before you can root your phone.
Please see this link http://bit.ly/rugejM.
d)
if you do not know what you are doing i would advise against the OneClickRoot for rooting ANY phone. It's a simple path to enable someone with no knowledge to root their device.
We are glad you have chosen to make XDA your source for all of your hacker needs. But please take some time and read and study prior to doing anything. We'd hate to see you root and brick your phone because you over looked something.
the Q&A section is used for just that Questions and Answers
the Accessory section is for just that Accessories devoted to the HTC Glacier
the Development Section is just that a section where you can find ROMS, Kernels, hacker, and PC/Mac/Linux guides
the App section is just that a place for us to talk about add ons and applications
everything else falls under the general section.
hope you enjoy your stay here.
Finally, and i wanted to post this separately
please do not be afraid of the search button or Google. Chances are if you've encountered a problem, or have a question. Someone has already asked it, or solved it.
Please watch this

If it does go bad there is good chance you can exchange it just don't tell them anything about you rooted the phone. I sent my phone in rooted with S off with a different problem and had no problem getting an exchange now I have this 2.3.4 which is not too bad but still figuring out the downgrade process I miss all the privileges with being rooted.

Great guide! It helped me with several questions I had, I was even able to check if I had a bad eMMC, I'm lucky I have the good one \o/
My phone came with 2.3.4, I really want to root to remove all the junk that comes preinstalled.
I have a question, if I used the root.sh method (which seems the safest), after downgrading of course. If I flash a rooted stock 2.3.4 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264704
Would I loose my S-OFF? Also to install the ClockworkMod recovery, is it the same way as other phones? ex can I just install it using the ROM manager?
Also is it really necessary to flash the engineering bootloader?
thanks for this great tutorial!

Once you have s-off, you will keep s-off until you manually turn it to s-on. So to answer your question.
No if you flash the rooted 2.3.4 of the stock OS you will keep s-off.
Yes you can flash it via the recovery image, without any problems. Just make sure to do a back up first.
It's not really needed, but encouraged as you can flash specific sections of the OS, or recovery image if needed.
Thank you very much for your help!
Everything went smoothly, now I'm in 2.3.4 rooted with bloat and ad free ^_^
The root.sh method didn't work for me though, but gfree worked like a charm (was kind of scared using it, but since I already checked my eMMC was good, I went ahead and worked perfectly!)
Thanks for your help!

Finally Rooted my Glacier!

Soo excited, i was afraid to do it for past few weeks, but finally decided to do it, lol had no prior experience on rooting and this was my first phone rooting EVER, but following guides helped me and downgraded, temp root, than perm rooted with S off , and finally a custom ROM without a problem in like 1 hour XD.
See pics below of my MT4G running the MIUI ROM.
So basically i was wondering what rom i should get(already bored of the MIUI XD), just give me some suggestions, and also what else can i do with perm root S-Off except for flashing roms and installed root only apps, is there anyways i can possibly change the Bootscreen where it says MyTouch 4g to something else? thanks
first off, congrats buddy, and welcome
personally i really like miui, the themeing and customization imo is one of the most powerful and best on a rom, and it's cm7 based, gotta love dat cm7
the new ICS, now that the camera works, and actually even before the camera (but having one is better than not), is what i'm running right now and i'm loving it alot, super smooth like butter.

be careful with this part. If u brick your phone, and it doesnt have the original splash screen, you 99.99999% wont be able to get a warranty replacement if u turn it on and it gets stuck on the splash screen saying anything but the official logo. I love customizing, but after bricking my last phone just by taking the battery out, I've chosen not to take risks like that. thats the only thing im keeping the same.

Facial recognition does not work in IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1. A planned update will include that feature (read the OP, it's all in there). If you're dying to try out face recognition unlock, give Zip's Creamed Glacier a shot. However, his version is completely stock (AOSP) whereas IceColdInsomnia is AOKP, meaning it has been modified with tweaks and customizations, the most significant which is ROM Control. It basically gives you a few more options in the settings to tweak to your liking; it also includes the option to skip tracks by long-pressing the volume buttons while the screen is off. That is one feature I cannot live without...
Anyways, yes, you wipe everything and flash it. You can disregard the kernel posted at the link because one is already included in the ROM.
check out "Zips Creamed Glacier"

the most well rounded ICS Rom in my opinion is "Zips Creamed Glacier"
*usb works
*facial recognition works
*low mic issue has been resolved.
*both cameras are working
i've been using it for the past three days and i don't have anything negative to say. check it out im pretty sure u guys won't be disappointed.
Personally I believe this ROM is the best:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563576
It combines the two best ICS ROMs together, forming the most optimal one for now. Too bad the download has been taken down for the time of being.
I finally talked my wife into letting me root her mt4g. I jumped into mine too fast and had issues. Actually I had my bootloader unlocked by htc, and it took me many tries to reverse the damage of HTC method, but i finally got mine right. But today, from the time i pryed it outta her hand til i finished, took me about 10 to 15 minutes, since i have all the files in the right places. Im pretty good now, but i was just ignorant a few weeks ago! I enjoyed doing hers. But she didnt want ics yet, so i put Darkside Sense 4 on hers for now. I am waiting just a tad bit longer, the I'm gonna move on to ics...

[Q] Root vs. No Root for a Sensation Noob

I've had an original Motorola Droid the last 2 years, finally finished my contract and just bought a used Sensation 4G off contract with T-Mobile... allowing me to change phones more often than every 2 years... it felt like prison!
I rooted my Droid, and liked the ways I could customize it and clean off bloatware that I never used. I wanted to free up as much memory as I could because the Droid didn't have a lot to start with.
The Sensation has even more bloatware, and for now, I'm not so much interested in being able to flash a new ROM as I am to just be able to delete the stuff I don't want. So I have some questions...
I used HTC's Bootloader Unlock tool and now the phone is unlocked. It thought that may allow me to delete apps... but no such luck.
Is there another way for me to do this... or is it still necessary to root the phone?
If I do need to root it... what is the easiest way for me to do it?
Should I re-lock my bootloader, or is it OK to leave it unlocked?
With ICS being pushed out to the Sensation in June, how will my unlocked bootloader or rooted status affect that? Or should I just flash an ICS ROM and not deal with the OTA update?
If I were to flash an ICS ROM... which one is the most stable and most highly recommended?
If I were to keep my current stock ROM for now... is it possible to put a 3rd party launcher, like ADW Launcher Pro to replace Sense?
I realize it's a lot of questions... but I've been digging around online to find answers and can't seem to find what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I can answer some of your questions. As far as I know, you will have to root your phone to delete (or freeze) bloatware. What app were you using on your Droid to do this? I think you should leave your bootloader unlocked. I don't even bother with official updates because the custom roms run so well. I am currently running CoinDroid 1.1.0 and it is amazing! It is Android 4.0 and also Sense 4.0. You can always install ADW but it will not replace everything Sense. It will replace the launcher but other parts of Sense will remain (such as lock screen and certain apps like calculator, calendar, etc.). The following threads might be helpful to you:

Thanks for some great info...
I'll root and install an ICS ROM that's available out there. I appreciate the answers and am interested in any advice I can get.
Yea just follow the s-off guide, the revolutionary method makes things very easy. You dont even have to worry about rooting, just s-off, install custom recovery and then installing a rooted rom will root the phone.
Also bear in mind to install an ics rom you will need the latest 3.32 firmware flashed - also very easy just follow the guides.
Good luck !

depends if you want rid of portions of the bloatware..you could just use rootexplorer and knock off the apps you dont need. i do that with sense roms old and new..and get rid of crap like peep etc..
htc needs to get wise to that lol...never understood why they insist on filling there roms full of rubbish..saying that..some people like

Well thx and it would really help if someone would post a thread link so I can get straight to it, I would look around in the forum but my busy hours at work won't let me, and this amazing phone just needs the bloatware completely removed...oh and if you guys know any good roms for the one s, I know they are still in development, but if the essentials work that's all I need to know...thx for taking time to help a noob.

Unlock at HTCdev then use the above link(paulobrien method) it works with US T-Mobile also. Its as simple as connecting phone to PC and installing the file. Presto! Root!
I have US version and it worked fine. After rooting download Rom Manager from play store and use it to flash recovery.

What about the security, I saw it on some of these videos that they have their phone rooted with s-on still on the phone. Do we not mess with the security on the phone?

just got through unlocking the bootloader, everything went great, but just a quick question before i root it, is it safe to run the root from the hasoon2000 kit to the phone that is a tmobile version or should i try the O'brian method? im just curious and take precautions, i dont want to brick my phone at all.
quick edit: i used obrians method, worked good and everything works fine, started up normally with a little lag then smoothly continued, im figuring that thats it....now for a rom anyone has a good rom that is good, i like the same default one that was with the phone, but all i wanted to do was keep everything and just completely take out the bloatware....i dont mind having the themes changed i just want the bloatware out of this amazing phone. thanks for helping me out.

Now that your phone is rooted just use Root Explorer to remove all the extra crap you don't want on your phone. Look in "/system/app" That's where the bloat is located.
Here is a good place to start:
