[ROM][Official]MyTouch4G Slide CyanogenMod 10 20130101 (Alpha 3) - 4.1.2

CyanogenMod 10 is a free, community built distribution of Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.

This is an alpha release, but you should find it stable for everyday use.

This is an alpha, with most critical functionality working.

TeamDS is working on porting Jellybean to the HTC Doubleshot (CM10 in specific). We have a reasonably well working Alpha we would like to share with the community for testing. Feedback is appreciated. If a timely response is not found here, we can be located on Freenode in #teamds.



INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager.
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. WIPE Data/Cache** (You can try to NOT WIPE, it works for me, but recommended wipe).
4. Install the ROM
5. Optionally install the Google Apps


HOW TO REPORT BUGS OR PROBLEMS?
- Was your problem a hard reboot? Get us the file "/proc/last_kmsg".
- Was your problem a soft reboot or a "boot loop"? Run "adb logcat" and get the full output.
- Pastebin links preferred.
- Join #TeamDS on Freenode to talk to us directly.

Thank you to EVERYONE involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging and documenting! Enjoy!


Alpha name explanation.
"Alpha 3" has all the features of Alpha 2 (kernel/device), but the camera works. Also, the vendor blobs have been reduced and some replaced for optimal performance.

"Alpha 2" was the rebased 'common' kernel, rebased device trees. It provided a 3.0.53 kernel. The camera locking was broken.

"Alpha 1" was with a "KANG" kernel that ultimately was not very clean and had a lot of issues to resolve. It was also older (3.0.36 compared to 3.0.53).


----- CHANGES -----
Build 20130101 -- Alpha 3
Changes:
- Kernel rebase found in Alpha 2
- Fixes to the camera preventing the locking issue. Camera should be solid again!
- Contains functional Alt/Shift key LEDS, working www./.com button
- Restructured 'blobs' files, such as mpdecision and htcbatt.
(I have found improved battery statistics and usability with the blob changes.)
Happy New Year!


Bugs
* Chrome and Panorama Camera PREVIEW continues to be a little glitchy graphically, I have been told this is a common MSM8660 issue. They both still work, but it's annoying visually.
* Please report your results, and if you can capture /proc/last_kmsg when it happens, it would be hugely appreciated!



Historical

Build 20121222 -- Alpha 2
Changes:
This build has a somewhat new kernel base, as it's from a more up to date AOSP source which tbalden used when he ported our v2.6 kernel to v3.0 earlier in the year. It is a work in progress, but complete enough to warrant a release and more testing.


Build 20121121 -- Second public alpha (V 1.01)
- Upstream CM10 changes. No other large changes of note from previous 20121103 build pertaining to Doubleshot.


Build 20121121 (Alpha 1):
- Jellybeans!!1
- Updated kernel base to v3.0.48.
- Updated keylayout. NEEDS MORE WORK.


Please note flashing someone else's kernel may ruin your experience with this rom and I advise against it. This rom was a joint effort between kornyone & tbalden. A LOT of core works for msm8660 was put in by many CM Team members, and much of our work is based on their: toastcfh, Kali-, Kmobs, Bumblebee, cretin45, and all of the rest of CM!

A personal shoutout (THANKS!) is due to these individuals for their dedication to the HTC Doubleshot:
Stefan Seidel, Pál Zoltán Illés, and thanks to scverhagen of Github for keeping the kernel maintained!


THANKS to intervillium/intervigil for keeping the common HTC MSM8660 AOSP kernel up to date so many of our HTC MSM8660 phones are based on now in the Open Source community!

This thread is titled "Official" for a reason

I am the official CM Maintainer for HTC Doubleshot (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Community_Members), and have been since September last year. It's been a bumpy ride due to how hacked up our phone is. We are carrying over Gingerbread blobs from Sense, ICS blobs from Pyramid for a lot of things, and JB blobs from CAF for graphics.

Speaking of hacked up -- The reason intervigilium posted Doubleshot should be coming soon on that pull request is we are working together on this effort.

The TeamDS repos for this project up til now (which was staging for CM Gerrit) will likely be obsolete going forward. I am now working with intervigilium on a new Github Org. for making Doubleshot/Pyramid/Shooter/Hoiday/etc (HTC MSM8660 common devices) use as much common stuff as possible.

This is to make sure our Doubleshot, and those other devices, are sustainable long term.

Alpha 2.0 was the first release from this work. At the time, it still used TeamDS repos.

As of two nights ago, I made the local change to the "htc-msm8660" common repos, and my build on my phone is using those repos (with some patches from CM gerrit). I removed about 10 unneeded blobs, and updated a few. Overall, my Doubleshot is operating well, and I am considering releasing a new Alpha to continue the testing process.

Going forward, look for staging CM commits to go here -- https://github.com/htc-msm8660

You will notice Doubleshot is all updated.

Here's the current local_manifest.xml:
https://gist.github.com/3986406

If you use the CyanogenMod/android_kernel_htc_msm8660 kernel, you will need these patches. They should soon be approved.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/29022/ & http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/29020/ for camera


Like I said, I will likely put up a new alpha later for testing, I will run one more clean build tonight for freshness sake.

Hi all,
I have dropped off for a while. I have some serious health issues, which I am not yet past. I hope to get back to this before long, but a break is in order.

Thanks for your support.

As far as "Alpha", "RC", etc -- I didn't put much thought into that. I just knew it was stable enough to warrant further testing. I actually wanted to just leave a datestamp on it as a formal marker, and not call it anything at all.


I have been criticized for my release cycles in the past, and the fact I "fall off" or disappear from time to time. I guess I should put it out there once....

* I believe highly in quality releases and software revision. While something I release or push may contain a bug(s), it's likely not dangerous or unusable. It will not cripple your phone and it's not for show. For example: I am porting the ApexQ as well. I focused on the Doubleshot since I got RIL working last week, but no audio. That's not worth releasing. Same deal with the NexusQ -- I never open sourced that project or released a build for others to use, because it's not complete (without audio, the NexusQ is pretty pointless). I hack these devices because I want them to be better. Coming to the forums tends to be an afterthought.

* I am Bipolar I, and most of my productivity comes in binges. When productive, I am generally wrapped up in (positive) mania, and have some free time. I get on a roll, and things click (hyperfocused). Other times, I fight with depression and the other parts of Bipolar mania. It dictates not just my personality, but my workflow with my offtime.

* Speaking of the NexusQ, ApexQ (Relay 4g), Doubleshot, bipolar mania, working second shift, etc... the Doubleshot doesn't get the attention it deserves from me.



This is why I tried hard and successfully got the Doubleshot in CM Gerrit review. TBalden and I have +2 on the CM Doubleshot repos. We want the community to help with making this phone awesome, as neither of us have the time to do it full time.


I literally brought this phone up to JB/CM10 in the past few days. That was after spending a few days cleaning up stuff in CM9 to make those weekly builds clean, and get it in the jenkins build bot. It's been ready since the 9.1.0 release (8/29). I had not worked on the Doubleshot code in ~3 months (before this week). All this productivity literally came in a short burst on my 'night time', adjusting to being on second shift this week after finally returning home from training 6 weeks and being in hotels.

I came back from the BigAndroidBBQ rejuvenated (two weeks ago). That helped a lot that my training ending, and the BBQ, coincided in time. I was dying to get back to home, family, and hopefully Android.



I cherry-picked scverhagen's kernel repos, only omitting the gpu overclocking and the undervolting changes. The rest is very much the same as his kernel (as of a few days ago). That is in this Alpha build.


I have talked to scverhagen via PM here on XDA, and we are talking about his commits to CM Gerrit. I will be reviewing them, and I suggest everyone who has something to offer to help source builds of Doubleshot be better and knows how -- use the Gerrit review!

I had never talked to scverhagen before I began this thread, but I made sure to thank him in bold in my OP for this thread for keeping our kernel clean and up to date. I hope we can work together with the common goal of making a better Doubleshot experience for all.

Once I can sign off on the kernel changes I made and confirm some of the local hacks I have (if they're in CM or if I need to push changes to Gerrit for that stuff), I will likely create and push the Jellybean branch to official CM repos.

Thanks for all the support, I just want this phone to kick ass

Working on CM10.1

Everything but bluetooth, audio mixers (audio works but uses wrong channels), some games crashing... this thing is solid. I just fixed all the keypad, I am now tracking down the Bluetooth.

I will just leave this here.


** Edit ** Bluetooth works now. Just audio and cam issues to resolve.
