So I just bought a Slide on eBay, but I wanna go ahead and get things started.
I can do most of the work I think right now before the phone (since it's Sense 3), but I'll need a few brave testers with ADB knowledge and who aren't afraid to flash things.
Somebody help this bro out, he does good work.
You should try this forum:
http://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones_data_devices/android/mytouch_4g_slide?view=all
It seems like most of the people on here like our phones and want to root and rom them, while the people on the t-mobile forum want to complain and cry. I'm sure you'd have pretty good luck on there lowballing someone for their phone!
Got one on eBay a couple of minutes ago. See you guys on the other side . Thanks for the replies.
Sweet can't wait to see what you can do with this phone!
If you don't mind me asking, how much was it on eBay?
I currently have a MT3GS I bought from Craigslist awhile back - got a pretty good deal from someone who decided he'd rather have an iphone, it came with the original box and all the stuff.
Been debating on whether it was worth an update to a 4GS.

It was $340... it said it was refurbished so I jumped on it. That's just around the price range I was looking for, too (extremely hopeful price range).
$400 seems to be the area in which the used ones are selling for...

I did, and I LOVE it! Man if you ported that to our phone I would be eternally grateful, and your phone would have cost you a little less $$$ if you know what I mean

I updated the OP. If anyone is interested please post here.
I'm going to start porting some of the features today and need some testers .

You know I'm in!
I've been one of the ones to dive in headfirst around here so i'll help as I can.
This week, and next, are gonna be real tight on time for me. I still have a few threads around here I have to update...and just can't get more then a few minutes in front of a terminal at a time.
When I get the chance to update my threads, I can sit here and have the phone installing (or whatever) while I do.
Glad to see another dev jumping into the pool here with the MT4GS - it's a sick piece of hardware.
Your list has made it incredibly easy to list out all the apps (I usually have to go through them one by one and try and figure everything out, usually takes 1-2 hours per phone )
Anyways, I can't test it as I don't have the phone yet but Bloater should be setup for it. At least for the apps and stuff. I'll have to add WiFi calling later.
Test it out and let me know what works and what doesn't. I tried not to include anything I wasn't sure about or anything that could be potentially harmful to remove.
If it doesn't recognize something as installed or uninstalled it just means my MD5s mismatch what it was expecting, easy fix.
Install it as a normal APK
I can new a lab rat if needed as I still haven't committed to this as a dd
Sent from my HTC Doubleshot using xda premium
I'll be willing to test!
Are any of you guys familiar with IRC? This may be easier to do everything there instead of posting back and fourth.
We could try #mt4gs @ freenode
Other than that, I may have my statusbar mods ported today. Just need to fix the resource IDs up I think. I'll need to have someone test.
I'm using Paul's deodex as a base for now since I couldn't find an RUU. So if anyone is running that, you'll just have to flash two files over to test if this works or not .

Someone join so I can use you as a test dummy!
Hi @all,
I'm posting this on XDA because I think most flash-a-holics "live" here and I'm sure most (if not all) of you know the problem.
You want to buy a new phone and you are looking for ROMs, check if the bootloader is easily unlockable etc.
As of now you have to do multiple Google searches and go through about 5 forums until you have found the answer you want.
Or you already have your phone and are looking for a new ROM.
So you're browsing the XDA section for your device and find about a thousand threads with ROMs and eventually you take one of the big ROMs you've already known since your first flash (speaking of CyanogenMod, AOKP, MIUI and so on)
So wouldn't it be cool (and I think it would) if all was just on one site easily discoverable and you were presented just the information you need?
That's what I'm trying to achieve with Project RomView.
I hope it's understandable what I mean.
Because I know it's quite impossible to do it all alone I'm looking for people (<10) who like the idea and would be ready to contribute in any form.
And please only if you really want to!
I'm looking for people who can do one of those things:
- Do UI/UX design.
- Code an Android app
- Have good knowledge about web-development (i.e. PHP, JavaScript,...)
- Know how to work with databases (preferably MySQL)
- Cook ROMs themselves and can help telling what they need to have in such a platform, so that they would offer their ROMs on it.
- and maybe some more people for beta testing and so on.
Or if you just want to give your own two cents, feel free to tell me what you think.
I'm looking forward to hearing every opinion (as long as it is constructive. If you just want to tell me that I suck, you can keep it for yourself, thanks!).
Cheers,
land.apfel
PS: I'm not sure if I'm in the right section. If I'm not, please move the thread. Thanks.
PPS: I have already achieved some very early progress but I don't want to give out anything else as of now.
Reserved (just in case)
Also reserved (just in case the first case is not case enough )
If you want i can help with graphic
Thank you very much for offering your help, but unfortunately I think it's hopeless to do any efforts as long as there aren't any developers who're ready to offer their ROMs on RomView.
Has anyone use these before. Might pick one up to test it out.

seems like a good idea, theres just so many shields out there to choose from, i learn something new everyday lol if you happen to buy this please post a review, thanks!
Hello guys and fell xda members,
New to site, but will get straight to point on post -
just picked up a HTC one mini m4 (tmo), currently has stock 4.4.2. My quetion is -
would it be unwise/a waste of time to put lollipop on the phone?
I want to note that I am no where near veteran, or even experienced, status - on the in's and out's, or pedantics, of flashing/rooting etc.
Which, in turn, is why I made this post - for feedback. I have flashed, and rooted phones before - but do want to make sure I am not diving into something totally idiotic, only want to start with what could be a stupid question/post/idea.....
Thanks in advance for everyone's feedback/opinions/advice. Critique is allowed.

At the moment just a few Lollipop roms are available for your device and many users reported that they get no signal / network connection with them. I don't have a m4 to test but I suppose its worth to wait until other users report that the basic features work as long as you're not interested in adventures.

Thanks for the info, glad I didn't dive in on any process and asked first
my experience here with you guys was awesome. I can honestly say that I was in these forums wholeheartedly and I want to thank each and every single one of you that I've encountered here. I will miss you guys feel free to ask me any questions if you ever need to and don't forget to thank any post that you found useful. I have acquired Nexus 6p and this device is giving me everything that I looked forward to on the LG. I shall begin work for this device with unofficial Paranoid Android builds.
As for LG itself ,
It seems that they are getting very uptight about their bootloaders and I refuse to buy a product that I cannot fully control and own.
If I would have had the chance to know that development was going to be stalled where it's at now for the LG I would have most definitely got the Nexus 6p. Both are great phones.
See you guys on the other side ?
