LG ICS - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

Anyone interested? I don't have much info on it now cause my time is short but here is a screen shot. It was "ported" over using cm9 alpha 5 as base

*Bugs*So*Far
When entering landscape and exiting landscape on the LG launcher it force closes for some reason.
Some LG generic icons show till a reboot happens ( first boot only )
LG Music widget isn't working ( looking for an easy fix or removal ).
*Tweaks*
There are some tweaks too like long hold of power while screen is off activates torch.
Pressing the camera button while screen is off and music is playing will pause/play current track.
The rom looks like cm9 other than launcher so I dunno if you would consider it a port lol...

I just want to be sure before I get to deep with it. And like I said I don't have much info other than what's here was pulled from an LG ICS leaked system dump. It was done for the evo shift and I talk to the dev all the time so I'm going to see if I can help him iron out his issues along the way of this one because I also support that phone with a different ROM/kernel. I don't want to get ahead of myself, I'm busy till Sunday but wanted feed back on the idea. In the mean time I'm going to run what I have just to get a feel for it and the bugs it has. Once I get a chance to look at the dump ill be able to see if there are little pieces left out that could/would be causing the force close issues with a couple things. Or they could just be broke that's why its a leak anyways I'm off to bed for a change

Best bet would be to post in development section regarding this. I don't think much of the flash junkies ever visit the general sub forum unless they have some problems with their device! lol!
Anyways a Work in Progress is already considered as development right? So I don't think that would make it offtopic.

Well nothing is posted but some screen shots, I got it done right as my daughter got here so I posted a general thread to see what you guys thought before I posted another cm type ROM.

I'd gladly test it for you. Report back bugs and stuff, but that's after I get back my phone anyway.

Looks cool. I'll play with it a bit if it helps.
Funny how so many of us abhor Sense but will jump on a Touchwiz or Motoblur or LG skin. Change of pace is nice I guess. I actually got half excited by a Sense ROM for my kids OG Droid (play phone for games and youtube) then I realized what I was thinking...
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

I won't even have time to get a link out till Sunday, I'm pretty full on family activities and they get 99% of my attention. And by that time ill be looking for fixes but ill get a couple private links up soon

Sense is heavy and bloated. I really hate that about it. What really draws me to this is that its based on Cyanogenmod. CM has really nice tweaks and features, some I've come to feel I can't live without nowadays. I don't think there's a device I could get and not use CM on it. This would be a really nice change from stock CM for me

Would be nice to try it out! Can't hurt to have an addition to the ROM choice here right!? :beer:
Thanks Strapped. Family comes first.
::Respect::

I'd love to take a look at that one myself Strapped. Looks a bit different. Seems to have some visual enhancement to it too but I can't quite put my finger on just what.....maybe something about the app drawer icon shading. And to be honest with you I've always been a bigger fan of CM9 derivatives than the original. No offense to the CyanogenMod team tho..........
Love to see YOU get your hands on this one! :good:

Yeah I def need to figure something out. Its a port from a system dump, to the evo shifts cm9 rom, then ported from that device to ours. Its running the LG launcher and also the motoblur ics launcher. Of course the LG widgets won't run on the MoTo launcher but there are no MoTo widgets. Hopefully I can find parts around the net for both lauchers to be complete(high hopes). I will say its a def change from the standard cm ROM. Last battery only got about 10 hours with 3 hours screen on but I'm thinking all the youtube videos my daughter watched today played a big role in that, so after a full day of running no new bugs have popped up. And since this is gonna get atleast some usage I can have the mod lock/delete this soon and just start a dev thread for the ROM once I get it up

That already sounds VERY promising! I'd be happy to apply as an "Orkin Man" on the project for you if you need anyone. It looks to be a VERY different ROM from what any of us are used to seeing!

Just wondering where did all the comments go? >_<

Hang in there. I'm pretty sure we're going to get a look at this one very soon. He's just got a BUNCH of commitments at the moment on some other ROMs.

You already know G. I'd like to port everything. The only thing stopping me now is the full port won't boot/logcat and the themed cm9 would be ready I just don't like the landscape FC issue

Man everywhere I turn its like I can't make a decision on what to touch. I have the aokp the paranoid-android,MikTouch and MikXE for this device then Supreme Sense and an aokp for the speedy,along with trying to get my speedy source updated on git so I can post there tweaked kernel with no low level battery cap. I've had it done for about a month but then the slave got wiped so I have to reproduce a source without compiling again since some major changes happened and now my commands won't turn the zImage into a boot-new.img correctly

MAN! That's awful. I sure do hope it's not a mechanical issue with your slave drive otherwise there may be other issues looming on the horizon.
It sounds to me like you're juggling chainsaws right now.....even more than I realized. I don't know how you keep it all straight in your head! When I take on more than one project at a time it reaaally messes with me.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate yours and the other developers time & efforts that call the DS "home". And I also understand that even though you have a perfectionist living inside you, this is a very nice ROM even with the few issues that are haunting you. I guess I've just gotten used to using a few very easy workarounds to the point I hardly notice them anymore. When you decide to, this is going to be one that people like myself appreciate more than some others will. Being that, there really is a minority group of us that just likes the derivative ROMs generated from the CyanogenMod code really better than the "original" in most cases. Even though it's mostly just a launcher change in your mind....this is definately one of the ROMs. :good:

Well in that case..... I got some cabinets to hang today, and measure to downsize a Window and once that's done I'll upload.......
And the bigger issues I can see coming faster than I could have imaged. I have a windows hd now thanks to you. And it will boot up just fine with the slave attached, but Linux will no longer boot with thee slave attached, it actually freezes because I have to hit esc to enter my boot menu to choose what drive to boot :banghead:

I'm glad to hear that! And very soon there will be lots of us that will be glad too. I run it on a pretty regular basis myself simply because the things I use regularly do work so well. Besides, over the past couple of months we've had several programmers with varying degrees of abilities move in here with us that I can forsee them wanting to see if they can figure out those very few issues that you really just don't have the time to right now. That is, if you don't mind. We DO have a very healthy community attitude here for the DS ya know.
I wish I knew something to tell you about your slave drive issue though. Would physically setting it to "drive select" instead of "slave" with the jumpers have any affect on it?

[THEME/MOD]v21y 2.3.4 Arc'd Theme+QuickPanel MOD

As I was working on the current ROM I am trying to get going I got agitated and so for a break I themed it and made this while trying to get the extended toggles and tweaks to work right.
There is no need to do any wipes, as long as you are already on the stock 2.3.4 v21y rooted ROM that I posted. This theme is based off of the Xperia Arc UI and is FAR from complete, but I thought people would like something different with some functionality so here it is.
This will add the basic quickpanel toggles as well as the theme that I have included. All that is included so far is SystemUI, framework-res and some other small adjustments here and there.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything you choose to flash to your phone.

Thanks to UOT for the font and animation cause im lazy.
Lotherius for Tsugi, cause I kanged his quick panel.
Team Kang for teaching me to kang.
And everyone who supports our work.
Very nice! I shall try this out
Any chance you could remove the battery full notice as well? I'm having to keep my system sounds at 0% because that ****e ruins my sleep. ... that is the main reason I've been threatening to fire up the smali editor...

LOL yeah, its not included here but I will do it in the next couple days. Im having a hell of a time with systemui acting right for some reason (probably all the smali edits). On what im running I have it already disabled and alot of other stuff, but its just insanely buggy at this point, so I put out the most stable thing I had for people to use.
I'm not sure why im having the issues I am, but its like nothing I have encountered before....

How different is the code from the leaked 2.3.4? If you need to see what I did in Tsugi, feel free to rip anything that helps.

I kanged quick panel almost verbatim lol. But, there is differences in ALOT of the smali. Especially around USB, signal, and points like that. I would almost be willing to bet you MIGHT be able to try this on tsugi and it may...fix some of the issues.

Well, the good news is I didn't touch the USB or signal code at all. IIRC, Weapon had some changes to signal code related to how some of the lockscreens needed to access phone state, etc. Which is why I didn't mess with that code with a 10 foot pole!
The USB code looked like when LG first grabbed it, it had support for USB host in place, which they simply disabled. They may have messed some stuff up doing that, and fixed it for the final 2.3.4.
It is promising though that this isn't just a simple recompile of the leaked version, maybe we finally have a stable STOCK ROM for the g2x after all this time.
Awesome theme and toggles.
I think people are more about 3D looking toggles like these

lol weapons edits are not that bad. I have hella issues on 2.3.4 with signatures/non signed stuff. I see several small problems with 2.3.4 but they are easily fixed. First one is the dalvik rebuild issue you fixed with the repack, the literally kanged that code in.... The iffy wifi is visible in several spots too.

I resigned the entire ROM (except google apps) when doing Tsugi, so I may have avoided signature problems that way.
As far as Wifi, mine has settled down and is working well, though it has gotten "stuck" on an old wifi once this week. That's a problem I see on my TouchPad as well, so it may have to do with the Apple router at a friend's house which is the network they tend to get stuck on... the device will think it's still connected even when you're miles away, and of course, it isn't actually connected. Have to toggle wifi off and back on.
OH YEAH.....
Are you still using older versions of aapt/apktool/baksmali? Or have you updated to the latest versions? That could be an issue, might try switching versions to older and/or newer.
Love the animation. Sorry about my idea and the pngs if you don't like em. Just a random thought of mine. Sorry though. No hard "peeling" huh

Everything builds fine, I tried resigning everything, but....needless to say i can make my phone go into s/w by installing apps after i did it. I dont think the issue is with the version of the tools, its more to the sha5/sig checker in the newer version of the lg crapware.

I've always kinda liked the Xperia launcher in various versions because Sony appears to have made FAST and LIGHT key words in their launcher. Too bad it is horizontal scrolling. But I put up with that because the launcher is just very clean.
Stock launcher has always bugged me... they tried to make scrolling "pretty" but instead they made it kinda "boomerang/springy" feeling... like you have to fight if you want to scroll fast.

Oh yeah? it might not be the same then. Have a nandroid for me to compare? I've only tested it on my rom. I know you can't flash it at the same time as the rom, that's why I released it as a theme/mod.
If no one loads a nandroid guess ill rollback and try to get the ota..

Trust me O_O Basically only 1 thing is changed from JustWorksTechnology is the sense 4 clock but I already have many other stuff working on it.. This is just a "preview" for now..

Sorry for quad posting but an update will be released soon with new widgets.. This isn't really taking the Rom out of preview, it's just giving it a small update. Also there will be more Sense skins.. By far this is one of the best Sense Roms with signal..
Can I port this amazing Rom to the EVO LTE?
And what do you mean by this is the best sense 2.1 Rom with signal? NewSENSE, mikG, S.S. don't have signal anymore?

No see I try a lot of Sense Roms and they always go into roaming so I just tried this one and it has to be the best with staying out of roaming. It will go into it here and there at points but it has to be ONE of the best with that.. Im not saying it is the best.. Thanks and yes you can port it..

I think that signal is more dependent of physical attributes rather than software or ROM. I appreciate your work man. I see your actively contributing the community, and I don't post much but thanks for your work. I usually get ignored after my posts, but I would like to say that in the ROMs Drob mentioned, there is an option in the tweaks to set the phone to Sprint only under roaming. It prevents the phone from going into roam. There's also the option for Roam only. Just thought I would share that since you are having roaming issues. Also latest PRL updates help. Can't wait to try this ROM out when you get a final release. Looking for a new daily ROM.

Thanks for liking my Rom, I've noticed that stock android, when you roam you can still make calls but, on sense you can't and could you send me that method? Thanks!! Also my PRL has been updated, I have no upgrades on towers in my area for next 6 months sadly.. Where I used to live, they have 32 upgrades or something like that. Kinda made me mad but o well I enjoy my evo shift Thanks again!

It doesn't roam because HTC and sprint don't want you to know you are roaming. Adding the1x icon is mod we add to let us know our real signal strength...

It just uses a 1x icon that switches when you drop out of 3G to edge data network like cm7/cm9 roms have. I thought data had nothing to do with cellular reception but IDK. Kind of like how you can activate a phone with no data plan?

You did to edit a file in the systemui.apk to show the 1x/3g indicator. You then decompile the classes.dex file and search for something called htccdmastatusbar.smali file. You change a line or two from 3g_cdma to 1x, then recompile and pack it back up and push the apk back to the phone...I guess you could also insert it into a new rom then flash.

I don't know anymore, my head is being poked with a stick by android.. I'm tired of listening to android.. (not freaking on anyone) I've got to take a break for quiet a while because I haven't been hanging with my family a lot lately and that's pathetic and stupid of me.. I'll check in every 2 hours or so but I got to "chill" with this android stuff. I don't wont to loose my loved ones Btw this is based off of JustWorksTechnology's Rom read first lines of my OP.. Thanks and preview2 will be uploaded probably tomorrow It does have a mytouch widget and some more themes
You don't know what kernels are in your sense roms? I understand completely about taking a break, but please take into account that kernels are GPL and must remain open source with a public link on the threads if your using a custom kernel. If your using a stock kernel like cm7 or whatever it may be you don't have to provide anything because they have their own github repo's. Thanks for your work for android and I must also take a break for awhile.
Sent from my HTC Evo Shift using xda premium
Well I guess I need help with "kernels" because I know everything really but not kernels and some other things...
Edit: It's stock
There are plenty of good kernels you can try if the devs let you add them to your roms. Strapped and x99percent are two that I know of that have their kernel sources in order and public.

All is quiet on the development scene

I knew this summer was going to be a hit for the Doubleshot, but it seems all dev action has ceased since then.
Anyone know what's been going on with our device lately?
Just a BS thread to discuss our device. Devs feel free to chime in.
Or if you're secretly working on something and would like to tease us by letting us know what's coming, by all means...
Just remember to include an ETA

I don't think my good old vps is enough to do this kind of job and I'm not also considering to reformat my windows PC just for this.
I think it has been a pretty good summer for development on our MT4GS. We've got a nice crop of ICS roms to choose from, either AOSP or CM or several Sense flavors. It's a smorgasbord! :highfive:

Both seem solid, didn't quite test them out as I'm digging XMC's Jellybean.
Should be a lot of development when Sense 4.5 comes out though I sense ports coming.

Ok so where I'm at now. I have figured out I didn't need to use anything from the EVO Shift to get this LG launcher up and running. So its not a port anymore ( so it lost andromaus settings which were cool but caused wakelocks ), its more so a launcher replacement, all other cm9 functions work like they should. So right now I'm trying to figure out how to post it, and here are my posting options I can either
1. Just package all the launcher and widgets as a flash over for any CLEAN INSTALL OF AOSP/AOKP ( will need testers for AOKP ). And a certain set of gapps so the gallery don't get broken
Or
2. I can just pre package everything into a CM build ( gapps and all ) so nothing gets broken. Its your call here is a couple screen shots. And if anyone wants to give it a try just pm me ill get you a dropbox link

I don't know about other people, but personally I'd go with option 2. You will have a lot less bugs to deal with and give yourself more time to focus on improving it and adding features. I don't know what you think about that but that's what I'd go with

Can we get paranoid android ported for a2?

Hey guys just wanting to know if anyone knows if we can port the paranoid android ROM to the atrix 2 ? There cm10 ROM for galaxy s3 is above all IMHO mainly for user fun
So can we contact them to port for the atrix 2 or can someone port it them self's?
Sent from my MB865 using XDA Premium HD app
You are not the first to ask, so please stop asking this question - or do it yourself.
It will come if/when it comes. And I highly doubt that somebody without an A2 will port it for us - but feel free to request that of them.
Btw, I have put some time into porting PA, then I dropped it for a while - since our phone does not play nicely with ports - but I plan on returning to it again.
If someone seriously wants to work on this, PM me.

No, what he was saying is that porting roms without a compile, to our phone just does not seem to end well for any of the devs.
We have had way more success with compiling ROMs from scratch since ICS has showed up for us.
In GB I had compiled several ROMs and had a ton of issues getting them to work well. I then gave up for a while. I had cm7 working for a while with kexec, but that got to be a real pia.
I waited until ICS came out to try again, and I am 98% done with my CM10 compiled version, which I have been working on for almost 2 months now, so..... Long story short compiles are good on the A2, ports are not so good.
BTW a port means to take a working version from another phone with very close hardware to another and "port" it to work on the other phone. We have used the razr and bionic as starting points since they are very close relatives, but we have still had issues. It can also mean to take the code for something like aosp/aokp/cm, and get all the files together that are needed to make the rom work for a phone and start editing code, and then compile it, similar to what wang and I have done with cm10.
I will let alteredlikeness tell you what his thoughts were on his speciic PA port, but this is just a general thing with us.

Yea, what jim said..
And I just really wanted to get PA on my phone - but I need a bigger linux partition on my computer to compile from source - so I decided to just try to port it (tried from 2 diff phones actaully), and I couldn't get past the boot animation or adb recognized after about a million different approaches.
I will still pursue this, but I agree with jim- gotta compile not port

We got a lot of issues to work out, but cogeary and I are doing all we can to bring this to the A2.
One of the major issues is that my phone thinks it's a tablet... that screenshot was originally 768x1366.. and I can only see a small 540x960 window of that over-sized UI (need to turn on 360 rotation and flip the phone to see other areas of the screen)... besides that, there's no wifi, soft keys, or phone call audio - so, it's not usable yet.
This is not an invitation to PM about timelines or progress - so please don't. This is just to let everyone know that cogeary and I are working on this (and an excuse as to why I'm not updating Numa). Thanks to cogeary for answering my call to take on this beast..
If anyone's curious, the idea of porting it is dead - I deleted my Wubi install and installed Ubuntu as a guest in VirtualBox on Win7 for a quick way to get a larger partition - compiling it fresh from source..
...more screenies...

Big progress in the last couple days for a usable alpha build - fixed the oversized issue, soft keys, touch sensors, and phone call audio (a sloppy fix IMO, but.. eh, it works - but, as I said earlier, my main intention was just to get this working on my phone)
Still no wifi, and got the common moto cm10 bugs, like the stuttering boot, rotation shrinkage & shrunken screenshot, data is a kinda buggy (works, but two bars), probably other bugs... still not a daily by any means.
And, the Paranoid settings can be a bit tricky.. not sure yet if it's buggy, or it's just me. I will probably be sending out a few test samples to some senior members soon.. watch your inboxes! (and don't call me, I'll call you... well, a few of you can if I forget - but you know who you are)

Native Ubuntu on the Galaxy s3 Please Read

Alright so im going to start by just saying that i had a similar project going with the galaxy nexus but I ran into kernel panic issues, that and I just got busy with life( school, work, job, etc). Now my time has freed up due to my last semester in school. So I am looking to pick this project back up but for the galaxy s3 Verizon...
Now i already have a compiled image based on the Ubuntu Leo originally created for the HD2( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOPu6DgbOs4 ) ......... this week i will be working on a kernel.
Now the image itself has been modified slightly from the hd2 version,...I will be looking for devs to help me with a kernel if this is you and you would be interested in helping please pm me. if you would like to alpha this also pm me ill start a list in this thread. Looking to get this going quick. ill have the image up by the end of the week if anyone is interested in experimenting with it. and i'm hoping for an alpha stage build by the end of the month.
If you have any questions just ask away.
Project Ubuntu
What you need to know
There is plans on having fully 3g/4g capability
Plans on MMS Capability
This is not a direct full desktop port. Its a modified/ optimized for armed devices based on the image used with the HD2
It will use a Linux based android Kernel
If you would like to Alpha this please PM me, and if you would like to help with the kernel ( I could use the help) also PM me.
I will update with progress later, and update with more details later. The point in doing this is the exact same as it has been in the past....because it would be pretty flipping awesome and secondly this would open Ubuntu up, it would offer up just another OS option.​​​
PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEO TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THE BUILD IS LIKEHERE
Awesome.
I have a question though. Will the OS boot as a stand alone operating system or will it boot inside android?
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.
It will be a stand alone no chrooted. It to start will run along side android booting from the sdcard like a dual boot set up. After beta it will be flashed in place of android
Sounds great

It is very possible to use, I have chroot linux mint running on my phone right now.
I direct port would make much smoother and more compatible as well. Just imagine connecting a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and hooking up to your tv. Extremely portable linux machine.

I don't see how it would work since everything would be shrunk down and hard to tap on. Also still not portable as you would need to carry around a mouse and keyboard. Just my opinion. Once again cool idea but i don't see it as being useful on such a small screen.

First off try looking at the youtube video.... the port its self has been modified for armed devices ( hense the youtube video) Second the version of ubuntu my image is based off of does have 3g capability writing a module to use with 4g wouldn't be to difficult. Third just to make this clear when beta is released it will have MMS Capability, and Phone capability. Again look at the youtube video. its not a direct port from the desktop version its an optimized and modified for armed devices.

Sounds cool but what is the point of doing it on a phone? It would be impossible to use. Should do it for the Nex10.

I'm not trying to upset anyone so don't flame me. I just don't see how it will work on a phone. I'll keep my mouth shut and try it when its released.
Good work and great idea! I would be more than happy to test the beta of this out...I need reliability, so unfortunately I wouldn't be able to go through the alpha paces for more than a day.

Don't worry your not being flamed. It will still have the functionality of a phone. I
Sounds like a cool idea! Very interesting to have a different flavor for your phone OS. I'd love to be on that alpha list.

This is pretty badass man. I salute you in your journey. One of the best things about android..the customization and the dev support. I'll be down for alpha builds, count me in.

Hey guys sorry for the delay in response.... I I am officially done with classes as of Fridayso..
Secondly tmr ill be updating the oOpp possible starting a whole new development Opp.
Right now I'm currently working on a kernel.. I its coming along but slow. I appreciate the support ill update the this Opp when I get home.
THIS is what I have been waiting for! I'm no dev, but I would love to see this happen and am willing to help how I can (testing, bouncing ideas off of, etc). I'll see if I can't rustle up a bit of support as well, shouldn't be hard to get a few capable souls interested, especially if you post this in the other carrier forums and see if this can be cross-device compatible for all carrier variants?
