Last night I flashed my friends S-ON phone for her. I'm not a Doubleshot guy. Could someone confirm the steps I followed are appropriate for the best battery & stability as far as all current releases go?

1) Wiped everything.
2) Installed the boot.img from the 9.1 version of Cyanogen.
3) Rebooted to recovery.
4) Flashed the 9.1 version of Cyanogen.
5) Flashed gapps.
6) Booted to OS and let it sit for ten minutes.
7) Rebooted to recovery and flashed the A5 kernel.

After ~30 minutes of restoring various apps, the phone went to sleep and wouldn't wake up. I pulled battery for 1 minute, put back in and it still wouldn't power up. Nothing worked. No display at all.
Finally I tried going into recover and THAT worked, then I rebooted into the OS without problem and verified there was a ~70% battery charge.
She was passed out by then so I don't know how the phone is doing so far otherwise.

I'm sure it's fine. I've had mine glitch out like that a couple of times before too. Just not on this ROM. As long as you can get into recovery you really shouldn't have any problems.

Can I play around with kernels at any time just by flashing the boot.img from any of the various zips? Or do I have to only do it right before/after a fresh wipe & install? I just installed the final 9.1 and noticed a really slow write speed to SD card, which I saw someone else mention. Haven't had a chance to test the battery life yet. Will do that tomorrow and try and post back results.

If you want A5 kernel on 9.1 stable, then you also have to swap wifi module of 9.1 to the one from A5, otherwise wifi won't work with that kernel. \system\lib\modules

Battery on 9.1, as is. The phone spent about 9 hours sitting in a locker at work, so it's definitely not getting much use. And outside of those hours, 1 hour was spent driving, and about 2.5 were spent with minimal use at home.

Will definitely be trying a different kernel, or reverting back to stock.

Do you often leave a phone inside a faraday cage and get excellent battery life? I ask because I have noticed that if I'm in a low or no signal area that my battery drains a lot faster. Off you tap on the ”cell standby”, I think it is, then it will tell you in the stats for that how much time was spent without a signal. If it's more than about an hour I would think that could be a large part of your drain.

Or try the A5 kernel and wifi module.

Exactly! Put the darn thing on airplane mode if its in your locker all day lol! What's the point and you'll save a ton of battery. If you're in a poor signal area... you'll always get worse battery life compared to others. It's almost using as much juice as streaming music, video, etc... or at least switch to data off or 2g only.

More from Kornyone's G+

"Doubleshot work (from me) is currently on hiatus. I am in San Antonio training for the next 1-2 weeks, and I am not sure how much hacking I will do outside of work. I would like to get the ball rolling on Jelly Bean.

+Pál Zoltán Illés should hopefully be returning soon, and I am optimistic if we put our minds together again, we can get this thing rock solid.

More to come...."

I've taken it upon myself to update you guys from his G+ and the CM page since he doesn't log onto XDA as much. I hope to be a good interface for you guys and keep everyone in the loop.
Cheers

Did you push the boot.img? If you are S-On that could be the issue.

Try to push the modules from system/lib/modules. But on cm9 I have only been able to adb from recovery so you may have to as well

He should have fastboot flash boot boot.img
rather than "pushing" it

You will need adb/fastboot and take the modules out of the ROM. They are located in system/lib/modules. Take them and place them in your adb folder and push them to system/lib/modules like
adb push *nameofmodule /system/lib/modules

Replace name of module with the names of the actual modules, once they are pushed adb reboot

This would be done using what program? ADB on my computer?Appreciate your help btw. Is it easier with a different program?

If you don't have Android SDK, thus enabling you to ADB (yes to your computer), then I'm not sure why you bother rooting.:silly: This is one of the most effective tools

Ok I got everything however I am encountering an error when trying to push the module. It says failed to copy 'bcmdhd.ko' to '/system/lib/modules/bcmdhd.ko' : read-only files system. Any ideas how to properly push this module?

    CyanogenMod 9 is a free, community built distribution of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.

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

    Code: 
    #include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 */

    This is an alpha, with most critical functionality working.

    Working with Senior CyanogenMod team members, I brought TBalden into the project. TBalden has brought his large amount of Doubleshot experience to CyanogenMod Doubleshot porting, and together we have created (in very short order) a stable Alpha. TBalden created a team for maintenance of the Doubleshot with CyanogenMod going forward, "TeamDS".


    INSTRUCTIONS:
    - Upgrading from previous Doubleshot CM9 Alpha?
    1. It should be safe to flash the Alpha5 zip on top of previous alphas. DO backup your phone in case something goes wrong, but a wipe shouldn't be necessary coming from CM9 Alpha1.
    NOTE that the install wipes /system, so you may find you need to reflash gapps.

    - First time flashing CM 9 to your MyTouch4g Slide (or coming from another ROM)?
    1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager.
    2. Do a Nandroid backup!
    3. WIPE
    4. Install the ROM
    5. Optionally install the Google Addon

    - Upgrading from earlier CM7?
    1. Follow instructions above. CM upgrade from CM7 Alpha1 will likely incur weird issues.


    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.
    - For now, please leave comments in the forums. TBalden and I will will be monitoring for activity as we continue to fix known issues.
    - Join #TeamDS on Freenode to talk to us directly.

    Direct download URL: http://www.jeago.com/doubleshot/cm-9-alpha6-doubleshot-signed.zip
    Alpha6 MD5: f9f0e4d95d7802e6ccb3b938b69ef7e0 . Build date 20120723.
    (hosted by Jeagoss of CyanogenMod, thanks!)


    You can find the latest CyanogenMod GAPPS CyanogenMod Wiki. Bottom of page, "CyanogenMod 9" GAPPS (latest works as of writing).

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

    As of Alpha4, Doubleshot source (device and kernel) has official open source CyanogenMod repos, with Gerrit access (https://review.cyanogenmod.com)

    ----- CHANGES -----

    Alpha6 Changelog (from Alpha5)
    - Updated kernel base to v3.0.36 from upstream AOSP branch.
    - Updated keylayout. TAB now mapped to ALT+TAB, www./.com functions properly.
    - Camera is no longer crashing (in our testing). This is from an upstream CM frameworks change.
    - Bluetooth wake lock is "fixed". When paired with handsfree audio, etc, and in standby, deep sleep works as expected.
    - Bluetooth tethering is functional, though not 100% yet.
    - Upstream changes in CyanogenMod. See http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/q/status:merged,n,z for info on these Upstream changes.

    Please note that camera and bluetooth functionality are still a work in progress. In testing, we find more compatibility, less crashing, less power consumption overall. If you find steps to reproduce crashing, etc, please capture logs.



    The current buglist:
    - If you use Face Unlock, I have experienced an issue where sometimes the screen will go "dark" when attempting to unlock the phone, requiring a battery reset. This is infrequent, but only Face Unlock causes this problem.
    - Recording in camcorder @ 1080 doesn't work. (Other modes are fine, we have not removed 1080p from options yet).
    - Lights issues (more than one):
    -- Function keys on physical keyboard do not light up (CAPS/ALT), but the buttons work.
    -- Backlight on keyboard works most of the time, but can randomly go dark.
    - Random battery statistics issues. Not all people have this issue, it seems specific to the battery you use.
    - Google+ Hangouts do not work right now.
    - Very occasional radio (4g and sometimes bluetooth/wifi) dropoff/reset. Some have reports a SIM card message requesting power reset, which can be cleared by hitting back. Other times, turning data on/off resolves issue.


    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!

    You can get all of the Doubleshot source from the following URLs:
    https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_doubleshot/
    https://github.com/CyanogenMod/htc-kernel-doubleshot

    Be precise, add logcat if possible, details, how to reproduce etc etc etc


    NOTE:
    if you're S-On, then get the installer zip, extract the boot.img from the zip, and
    'fastboot flash boot boot.img' it, otherwise your kernel will be not updated and you wont be able to boot.

    You can overclock and set cpu related stuff in Settings/performance

    cheers,
    enjoy!
    feel free to report stuff.

    Sixaxis controller test app reports that its compatible, so you might be able to use it with this ROM. Havent tested it myself with an actual device, i have no sixaxis device


    if interested here's a TotalCommander plugin that gives you access to your doubleshot MTP protocol device over the mtp usual windows browsing (known since gnexus), so you can copy files in Total Commander as well, not only in windows' built-in file browser.
    http://ghisler.fileburst.com/beta/wmdmplug.zip
    Download, enter the zip in TC, answer yes, to install it. Then you can access your sdcard files in Network filesystems/MediaAudio/myTouch_4G_Slide/SD Card/

    thats nice!

    coz at last i've found the issue with screen wake.
    we're going to clean up stuff for an alpha 3 with kernel 3.0. don't expect it to happen in the next few days, we need more test, and kornyone is ATM rather busy with real life stuff. But rest assured, it's going to happen! :D

    summarized:
    - all functionality that was in alpha 2 is working
    - kernel issues resolved, deep sleep working now without tricks
    - kernel updated from 2.6 to 3.0.30, based on intervigil's pyramid (sensation) kernel tree
    - bonus: tethering stuff is working better now, needs more test
    - battery life better with deep sleep

    Official CM 9.1.0

    Ohhai!

    I don't have release notes for it yet, and I have not updated the OP.. .but....

    HTC Doubleshot has reached inclusion in the latest CyanogenMod 9 Release of 9.1.0! This marks the first time Doubleshot has been included in a major release, and is a milestone for the device. All previous releases have been "Self Kangs" or "Alphas" which I baked. This is the real thing :)

    Grab your copy from Get.CM -- http://get.cm/?device=doubleshot&type=stable

    Make sure you get the 9.1.0 release. The 9.0.0 release is mislabeled.

    More to come!

    We're evaluating the alpha3 build. It seems everything's fine (only minor issues we know of already), so you can expect it soon when we get it up on the official site.
