Hey Guys, just finished playing around with the kitchen and made a simple modification to the default espresso ROM. Unlike other Roms, this ROM does not have a lots of kernel level modifications, and lots of changes. But this ROM is just the default Rom that came with your shipped myTouch 3G Slide, except that this ROM does not have all the bloat-ware that make your phone slow and laggy. The followings features are included:
Features
======
Espresso UI
Busy-box
Rooted
SuperUser
NANO Editor
Deodexed APK Files
100% Stable (Think of it as your default rom)
Nothing that does not work.
Flash player
Cool Boot animation (Who likes that crappy tmobile boot animation? )
Eclair (2.1) [Tried Everything To Use Froyo And Make It Stable, No Luck, But I Don't Think There Is A Lots Of Stuffs Missing In Eclair)
Some Other Stuff
Removed Stuff
==========
All Crapware
HTC PDF Reader (Use Adobe Reader From Market)
HTC Twitter Client
Stocks
Stocks Widget
Tmobile Visual Voicemail (Get It From Market If Needed)
Tmobile My Account (Same as above)
Amazon MP3
AppPack Tmobile
All other crapware that makes your phone laggy.
As far as i know, there is nothing that doesn't work (Played it with for few days to see if something is wrong). Proximity sensor, wifi, bluetooth, keyboard, all the keys, touch screen, and almost everything works perfectly. Please let me know if something doesnt work.
How to install
=========
First root your phone using this method or this method.
Then put the zip file in your sd card and go to clockwork recovery. Then just install the zip file as you would do with every other rom.
If you dont get what i am saying, check this.
Please let me know if something does not work. THanks
[I am not an android developer,just a simple guy [and a bit of java programmer] ]
I dont think Tmobile is going to give us Froyo within this Dec 15th as rumored by a lots of sites. But for now, lets stay happy with eclair and lets hope they will send the updates soon.
Download ROM
GUYS, PLEASE DONT DOWNLOAD OR LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT THIS ROM BECAUSE THIS WASNT MEANT TO BE A ROM THAT EVERYONE SHOULD USE, I MADE IT FOR MY OWN PERSONAL USE AND JUST WANTED TO SHARE HERE SO THAT AT LEAST SOMEONE MIGHT BE SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. MODS --> IF YOU THINK THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE OR SHOULD NOT BE HERE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEE THIS THREAD IN THRASH FORUM (DELETED)

I used the factory shipped espresso ESPRIMG.ZIP file and modified it.
Awesome.
Reminds me of Slidemeroot5 minus the apps2ext.
What's nano editor, a text editor?
I think Fenix made a rom similar to this. Using 1.35 deodexing it, etc

Uhhh...
...why didn't you use the OTA zip instead to make this barebones rom?
If you're going to be running stock Eclair, you might as well be using the latest version if it.

Yeap nano is a terminal text editor. That means that if you want to edit some config file or text file in recovery mode or somewhere using adb shell, you can [I think it is better than vi]
What kitchen were you using? Rom looks promising! Also what firmware is this? The original firmware that cane with old slides or newer teaser firmware that comes with newer slides? Also would you like a2ext support put into the rom?

Yeap it is the latest ESPRIMG.ZIP leaked somewhere. This is the latest ota recompiled into a unrooted ESPRIMG.zip with htc's factory signatures [was leaked from someone in htc developers team]

Do you have a link for this leaked ESPRIMG that contained the OTA-updated version of stock Espresso? I'm a wee bit skeptical at this point.

That's not an OTA rom...
THIS is an OTA rom.
OTA brought the retail system (1.27.531) to 1.35.531 and updated the radio as well. If you're linking me to the correct Espresso zip that you used, you've based you rom on outdated system software.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Has someone flashed this that can check their About this Phone section of settings to see which system version this is?

That is the latest we can use, because the latest ota does not allow flashing unsigned packages, so even clockworkmod wont work there. but you can always install the rom first and install the update.zip for the new ota (that is if you find one) . good luck

Uhhhh, yeah... That makes no sense. If ChiefzReloaded can make a rooted OTA-based rom, so can you. There's absolutely nothing preventing that.

Fast and functional. I'm thankful for a new rom to use. Outdated is not an issue. I still load donut on people's G1's when they want stable root. Either way thanks for contributing....I could live without the negative comments.

Pointing out that the starting-point of this rom is outdated and potentially buggy is hardly a negative comment. It's a statement of fact that isn't mentioned anywhere in the first post. People should be aware of what they are flashing.
Improvements included with this update are as follows:
1. Battery Life:
Updates to the T-Mobile online contact backup connection, which will improve battery life.
2. Wi-Fi:
Ability to send MMS messages when connected to Wi-Fi.
3. Genius Button improvements:
Ability to turn GPS on and off using your voice, such as “Turn GPS on.”
Will announce Caller ID for incoming voice calls and allow you to “Answer” or “Ignore” using your voice.
Will announce incoming text messages and allow you to “reply” with dictation.
4. Faves Gallery improvements:
The Faves icon will be displayed beside notifications that appear while the device is locked to indicate that the communication is coming from one of your Faves.
Fave photo display speed will be enhanced.
General stability will be improved, including more seamless scrolling and consistent display of photos

Why make this rom when it already exists? This is the same thing as chiefzreloaded's ota rom is it not?

I saw a thread in the development section about getting your tab back to stock, but since I can't post in there because of my post count, I suppose I'll have to ask here.
Essentially I'd like to backup all of my things, return the tablet to stock, but also keep a couple of the touchwiz apps. Does anyone know if this is possible or how I'd be able to do it? Thanks

While not the expert on this, I don't believe you can keep the touchwiz apps with stock Honeycomb 3.1 due to framework changes in touchwiz. However, post 2 in this thread might be what you're looking for. It does remove some apps though but it is probably the best mix of stock and touchwiz. If not, then the third entry in this link will help you revert to stock 3.1 if you don't have a stock backup. Look for the hc-3.1 zip file.
Thanks, although that's a bit depressing. I loved samsung's reader (ability to open PDFs stored locally, couldn't figure that out using google books), and myfiles was a good explorer I thought.
Okay so now I need to root to get titanium backup right? I have some data on games and such that I'd like to save.
What is stock to you? 3.1 Vanilla Honeycomb? What apps do you want to keep? not all will work without TouchWiz. What data do you want or need to back up? Get Astro File Explorer from the Market for free. LEt me know the answers and i can guide you from there.

Yeah, when I say stock I mean 3.1 vanilla HC, like my tab before the update.
The only ones I'd like to keep are myfiles and the ebook app, and I have the apk for those files now.
The data I want to backup is just from a couple of games I think. Not sure there is anything else.
Only possible to do if you root and stay rooted in Honecomb 3.1 vanilla. You won't be able to run Titanium without it. Here is stock firmware for our tab but this won't let you restore your app data because its not rooted. You need to go to the first post in Android Development and download the rooted vanilla rom then run titanium.

AFAIK, you'll need to wait for one specific to our device. Otherwise you'll lose functionality of some of your buttons.

T-Mobile version is completely different hardware - OMAP4!
In a week or two you should start seeing ROM ports from the GT-I9100 - the differences aren't significant and in fact userland might be 100% compatible (except for the NFC stuff, which is probably only in our ROM.)
Seriously - we just got our first good stock kernel dump 2 hours ago. Expecting OS upgrades already is a LITTLE bit impatient...

+1. This is just the beginning of something great. Good solid stock kernel dump, and things can go from there. Like Entropy said, give it a week or two and we'll start seeing some Rom ports

How To Update Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 with Gingerbread 2.3.5 Firmware
Yeah, I'm a noob. I just received the SGS2 via AT&T web store. I'll be happy to thank anyone that can help (see I watched your video).
Has anyone done this? I've looked on this site and can't find any info for this technique. I don't want to root the phone at this time. I'd just like to get into the Amazon AppStore which is suppose to be possible with Android 2.3.5

You can download and install the amazon app store just fine on the stock att device. Go to settings, applications, and check Unknown Sources. If you go to Amazon's site they will text you a link to download the app.

I've checked unknown sources and tried getting Amazon to send me email and I haven't received anything yet.
Thanks for the reply.

once you have unknown sources checked, point your phone's browser to www.amazon.com/amazonappstoreapp and it should start the download
or you could flash Perception...It is a port of KI3 from the i9100 forum.
tchan012, you're a genius! At the minimum a heck 'o lot smarter than I. Thanks, that did the trick. I was able to D/L the Amazon Appstore app. And then the app.
Mucho thanks.
Another query. Is the only way to see where files are stored on the phone via usb cable to a computer, would be to root the phone? I found a few apps I'd like to drop into the phone via usb cable/computer but can't find the apps already on the phone.
Being a noob is frustrating.
Accidentally quoted myself instead of editing, see below. vvvv
Whoops tried to edit not quote.
quarlow said:
You cannot see certain parts of the internal memory through the USB cable (even with root). But, you can copy over the apk files and install them on the phone. Then you can delete the apks.
You may be able to see where the apps are without root access, but you will only have read access to that folder unless you root. That's fine though, you don't want to touch those files unless you know what you are doing, deleting the wrong files will really mess up your phone.
Best way to install apps is to download the apk directly on the phone, then open it. It will install for you. Or, download on your computer and copy to your phone over USB, then open the file on your phone. I use astro as a file manager to locate and open the files, its free on the market and has lots of great features.
Hope this helps. You won't be a n00b for long, you'll pick it up quick.

Thanks quarlow, I'll hunt down Astro and give it a whirl. I can see very few files via the usb cable. I haven't tried renaming or moving anything as you say, it could be like running through the registry of windows and deleting various files and watching windows freeze forever.
Here's hoping my noobiness wears off soon.
In a couple of months I'll feel comfy 'nough to root the sucker.
It certainly is a cool phone.
If you want to make apps a part of the ROM itself (be VERY careful with this), you need root.
If you just want to "sideload" apps - root is not needed, just enabling Unknown Sources. Once you do that, you can install apps from file managers, the browser, or using ADB. (USB Debugging)
For more on ADB, if you're a Windows user you may want to check out Droid Explorer.
Thanks for the info. Are we there yet? <oops sorry, talking to the wife, she's driving...>
Hello XDA members!
I am a long time lurker of these forums... well since day 1 of the photon release.
Anywho, I have a photon on 2.3.5 :crying: like that isnt bad enough... Well I rooted my photon and installed Rom Toolbox Pro on my Photon and I was messing around with the app and saw you can change icons and stuff like that. I was messing around with it and then I was going to return back to stock theme and icons... well. I guess I forgot to do a back-up of the original theme.
So now my photon looks like a cheap knockoff because all the colors and everything dont blend well with the phone. So....
I was hoping anyone knows how to get it back to the stock theme and icons. Since there isnt any 2.3.5 SBF that I am aware of I cant just flash it back to stock...
Or if anyone has a back-up of their stock theme and would like to share, if possible.
Thanks in advance!
But if no one can help I dont really want to wait until ICS or somone godly dev unlocks this bootloader.
But theres not much that I can do.
Mistakes happen, but no worries. Your mistake is fixable.
I believe if you look in the Development Section, there is a {Locked} version of 2.3.5 that is flash able thru Bootstrap Recovery (the only Recovery option available for Locked users). It will bring you back to stock and revert anything you changed in ROM Toolbox Pro.
I may be able to make a Bootstrap flash able framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk that will also possibly fix your issue without having to flash the whole /system folder. No promises tho.
But definitely look in the Development Section. Peetr_ and and another Dev have made some very useful stuff for locked users.

Thanks so much man! I never messed around with bootstrap recovery so I didn't know that this was possible.
I use the Droid X icons. He's got most of them on his server. The stock batt,DX 3g,4g,1x,and i think wifi. If you email him the icons you need,he'll add them to the server.

Unfortunately its not, play store only.
I even attempted to download it by editing my build.prop with AT&T related lines from another AT&T phone's stock rom, and tried the device id from a stock AT&T HTC One X (with PC based apk downloading software) but no luck.
All I was able to find on my stock froyo flipside was att messages that encrypts. I don't know if that's what you're looking for but if so, lemme know and I'll pull it for you.
Ah.
Well here's the app in Play Store.
Maybe you can use this to download the APK?

Older versions were really unstable, I was only ever able to get the last two(ish) versions to run on my Atrix. Thanks anyway though.
So I guess everyone has modded their atrix to the point where this app doesn't appear in the store?
