***WELCOME***
Welcome everyone who has a question, but just can't seem to find an answer. My hope is that this thread will reduced the extremely large number of new threads being created for every little issue each user is having. The rules are very simple. Please follow them, as it's just not that hard.
1) Absolutely NO FLAMING. I am completely inflexible on this rule. If i catch you do it, you will get an xda vacation (will be banned, in case you don't get it). Also, just to be clear, "use the search function" is not an acceptable answer in this thread.
2) Before you post you MUST read THIS. Trust me, I will know if you didn't.
3) Anyone can post any issue they're having with their HTC Espresso: myTouch 3G Slide in this thread, but you MUST include a detailed description of your issue. If after a couple days your issue has not been addressed, please feel free to bump it.
4) Remember you are asking for help, and as the saying goes "it's easier to catch flies with honey than vinegar. So be nice to those who are helping you.
5) Please quote the person you are replying to, it will make it MUCH easier for people to sort through the many messages that will end up in here.
6) If you find your Question answered, find your original Post and change the font colour of the text into dark green. And at the bottom of the question post either provide a link to the answer or Quote the answer,
This way it can be easier for any moderator to delete Clutter so the thread can be easily searched and read by other users.
This is an experiment based on a suggestion by other users, so we will see how it goes. If all goes well then i hope that this thread will be a great help to many new members. If not then we will make adjustments. I want to thank all those who will be contributing to this forum for their time in advance.
Note: If you feel your thread has been moved here in error, please PM me and politely ask me to move the related posts back into the original thread. Sometimes the wrong threads get moved here by accident. Please also provide a clear explanation of why you think this topic deserves it's own thread. Angry tirades and rants will be of no use, and will more likely than not simply get you a warning or a ban.
Also if you dont have something important to say and your just going to complain then dont post.
great thoughts, also congrats on mod status sir

I agree it has gone off topic a little bit, But when nothing new is happening and people just want to add there 2cents then that happens. I will keep an eye on it though. I know the 3 Devs working on getting Root are working there butts off to do it and I have faith we will see it.
The good thing is, it seems rooting is not a matter of "if", just "when", which I never have a problem with.
i just hope that the "when" is "sooner" rather than "later" because im getting "pissed" about this "bloatware" >.<
Wifi Tether, apps to sd, froyo 2.2?
So now that root has happened I know a lot of us are interested in added functionality of our devices. So far mine is stock but with live wallpapers and some free'd up memory. However, I'd like to use wifi tether, apps to sd, and preferably get froyo 2.2 on here. My question is do we have a lot of devs working toward this now or is it too soon after root? I don't mean to seem impatient here and I understand there is still a lot of focus on getting everyone to the point of root since it was difficult for most of us. Anyway, any status update or something would be nice.
Answered quickly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6845610&postcount=11
Thank you!
Personally i know of 5 or 6 devs working on projects for the slide... If I remember correctly, another couple are going to start on it very soon also
Not sure if this is a dumb question... When the G1 was rooter, shortly after other methods of rooting were found. I fear some of us will endlessly have the problem of getting ADB to recognize the device in recovery. What are the chances of another root method coming available for the Slide?
if an update comes out, there will be more methods im sure... just not sure on a timeline for them

Fermunky, I've been following your problem because I was having it too. What finally got it for me was, I formated a different sd card, put it in the phone, removed all software ( htc sync, pdanet) and removed all drivers I could find using usbdeview. Then rebooted with phone unplugged, installed pdanet following all their instructions, then the loop worked perfect. Good luck
Tl;dr version, i tried it all at the same time and it worked
Widgets
hey, is it possible for someone to make some of the htc widgets compatible with adw launcher? I have the slidemeroot rom with live wallpapers and like it a lot. However, I miss the variety of widgets such as multiple calendar views now that I have to run adw launcher to get the live wallpapers. I'm looking for a way to get the best of both worlds and have live wallpapers along with the sense widgets. Is it possible? or better yet, get live wallpapers on stock rom without adw launcher so it works with my modes as well (cuz I miss that too). Maybe I just need to give up on the live wallpapers
can we have links to these listed roms?
Can't get superUser on legend to slide
I have been working/searching on the issue for a while and just cant figure it out.
every file is called superuser.apk and I am pretty sure they are all ROM/device specific. I can't get them to install.
Could someone help me with the following:
1. The source for the correct superuser.apk for legendTOslide Please
2. Do I adb push? In recovery? In device mode? sample command?
Thank you

You can get Live Wallpapers to work in ADW Launcher, but the HTC Widgets are bound to Sense UI.
Ok so Google just released another 2.2 update for Nexus. Right now I'm running stock slide rom. Can I update to the Nexus' roms without root?

No you cannot.
I'm big into making people and the community happy so I'm wondering what you guys would like to see next for the Prime. Keep in mind the restrictions we have right now with the locked bootloader. I have an idea to add init.d support even with the kernel not supporting it, more information to come. But what else would you like to see? Please throw around some (realistic) ideas here and I will add a poll later when I see some ideas flowing. I would love to work on a way to still make ROMs with the bootloader locked. It could be don't with fastboot, but that isn't an option with this device so i need to keep thinking
got a bunch of ideas in this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388541
I want to see the battery settings issue fixed so we can see 3rd party apps & not just system resources
I want to see the GPS on/off switch put back into quick settings like it was in HC
I really want to see ad hoc network acceptance fixed like we had days ago under HC so we can tether if no native tether app on our phones (wpa_supplicant files?)
Its a small list a nice list & a list crying out to be dealt with
Oops, there was a thread like this already. My fault, please see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388541
Closing now.
Hello everybody,
I am new to these forums and to Android roms world.
I had installed OneCosmic RC3.1 in my Galaxy S and I was in shock. It was a great change from stock gingerbread. Love at first sigth
Today I have installed RC4.1 which was supposed to fix a problem in video recording. And it did, but another issue appeared.
I can use now time lapse setting or funny effects when recording, but once the video is done it does not appear in the gallery. The new recorded video simply vanishes.
Is there any fix for this?
Thanks to everybody
Sounds like a ROM bug, you might have to wait for an update. I would contact the ROM dev yourself and ask, you could just let him know of a giant bug.
I tried but as my account is new, I can not access the proper forum to post it.
Thanks.
Try messaging him. Yeah I'm new too so I understand but it's the rules haha
They have a IRC channel, and google code site that you can submit bugs. I don't know if they have a Q&A on the international site, but they do on the i897 so take a look.
Took a look at mine. I'm on RC4.1 and video record to sdcard(internal)/dcim/camera/
Ummm today it seems working right.
But I have issues with wifi. I applied the wifi fix, but now wifi is lazy. It takes looooot of time to download things, for example songs in Spotify.
I don't know if there is something wrong or is just bad luck. I have never need so much time.
I shall try IRC channel
I searched the Q&A thread and couldn't find a concise answer to this.
Handsfree activation fails on the phone, and I'm not able to get any 3G/Phone signal. When I go into the 'About' section of the device, I can clearly see that in place of my phone number, there are 4 digits.
I remember from my EVO 4G days having to download an app while in Sense to retrieve a code, that I would would have to input in the AOSP ROM.
Can someone please help me get phone/data up and running on this bad boy? I cannot stand Sense, and need to get away from it ASAP.
Thanks!

I don't have the answer, but since no one helped you, I will suggest you post your question in the Devil Toast thread as Agrabren seems like a dev who helps his users. Since you don't have the minimum 10 posts needed, I suggest you Thank me here and then post some comments on the Themes section about how great the themes are to get to the minimum.
You could also run a sense ROM and then use a desensify script or run a ROM like SOS where the sense has been removed.

To fix this issue you need to navigate to settings Update and Update Profile. and then update the PRL that will Set you back up...
Trust me i went through the same thing
