No issue with USB storage/adb as well. But sometimes phone app behaves strange, it's true

I basically did the following from ROM Manager and from booting into recovery

1. Unlock/root device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager.
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. WIPE
4. Install the ROM

but after rebooting the phone, it doesn't get passed the first boot screen... Anyone have any ideas?

One other thing that I've noticed recently. Has anybody noticed upon answering or placing a call, the phone goes straight to hands-free speakerphone. This just recently started up at random and I am at at a loss as to why it is occurring.

I have to hit the speakerphone toggle to "turn it on" (speaker remains on) and then turn it off again by toggling it again. Kind of strange if you ask me, has anybody else noticed this?

Kinda weird answering the phone in a crowded room and have everybody hear both sides of the conversation.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

This happens to me a lot. It is rather annoying... also happens with outgoing calls...

Here's a screenshot of my hboot (attached):


(I'm new to this)

I booted into CWM recovery (5.0.2.7 and also used 5.5.0.4) and did wipe, then loaded ROM from zip file and pointed it to the one available on this thread... it goes through the motion then says complete and i chose reboot.. and it then gets stuck...

I also did this from within ROM Manager app and had same result.

The problem is, you're S-ON. It's not really a problem, per se, you just need to take an additional step and flash the boot.img from fastboot. There's a thread on how to do this in this forum.

I've had the wifi sleep issue happen again, twice. However, in each case I'm pretty sure I know what happened and how to reproduce it (I've got a logcat available).

I was charging my phone, and turned on USB mass storage. After that, I noticed that wifi was dropping almost as soon as the phone went to sleep.

I tried rebooting, and that didn't fix the problem... it'd drop the connection almost immediately upon sleeping. Turning wifi off, rebooting, and then turning wifi back on again did seem to fix the problem.

Ever since I did that last step, it seems to be fine. I'm not sure if the problem was triggered from charging from USB or from using mass storage mode. But I've tried this twice, and those two elements combined seem to have done something.

Jonnycat26 is correct. See this thread.

I was in an important call, and the phone locked up. Call was going, but phone wouldn't wake. I had to reboot, and (new) boss was pisssssseed. I'm back to stock untill it's fixed. It sucks too, I loved ICS. :T

Dropped calls has been nothing new for me on AT&T... they tried selling me a micro cell to boost signal in my house for $200:mad:

this happens across devices it seems, not device specific. i have this sometimes on one x too

I'm having a weird issue, and only on ICS. The sensor that locks the screen in call won't work right. I'll be in a call, my phone will lock it self. Causing the other line not to be able to here me. I need to unlock, and re enter the call. Is there a possible fix?

Do you have any special software installed, like widget locker or any third
party app related?

Anyone else worth similar issue?

Nope, I don't even install apps on my phone. Just what comes on it.

Might I add it's only AOSP based Roms. Not Virt Inq, or Prim.

just wanted to add that SpiritFM Light and Spirit FM Unlocked from google play store works fine on cm9 for doubleshot, it's a third party FM radio.. if you missed FM radio that commercial app might be a considerable choice for purchase, there's a light and unlocked version for bucks/more bucks.

I was actually going to ask about this because when I searched for fm radio on Play all I found were internet "radio" apps. Know of any that are flat out free? I don't use it that often...

I couldn't have a Rooted device working for a connection center. They have the legal right check for SU, or what ever they may keep it rooted. I had to have a Blackberry w/o a camera and Data. Couldn't have iPhones either. Same reason why IBM won't let there employees use iPhones.

Something stopping you from renaming 'su' to something innocuous?
The NAME of the command is irrelevant.
All that matters is what it can DO.

Naturally, you won't be able to have the superuser APPLICATION installed, but simple 'cp /system/bin/sh /system/bin/mush; chmod 4755 /system/bin/mush; rm /system/app/SuperUser.apk; rm /system/bin/su' and you're done.

Now just type "mush" instead of "su" ;)

And what exactly do you mean by "super wipe hardcore"? What you should be doing is formatting the data and cache partitions, NOTHING ELSE. There are things in funny places that can seriously screw up the system behavior if you mess with them... And yes, there are those who tell you (incorrectly) to mess with them, and it causes no end to problems.

Looks like CM10 is a sure shot. Kinda sucks, Team DS is just now getting CM9 stable. But no work is wasted :D According to CM Jellybean will be simple merge. Your Hard work will show even more in CM10 :D

I'm really REALLY sick of a lot of that "CM" nonsense.
Their version numbering makes no sense,
Their "feature" composition makes no sense.
They claim an easy update when they haven't even seen the code (not that this is incorrect, but that they can't know...)

All we really want is AOSP, and call it what it is, 4.0.4! (current). Not "9".

CM's numbering is the same as Google names android (but the number)

All alphabetical/Numerical, starting on Cupcake 3rd letter, CM3. Donut 4th, CM4. Ecliar 5th, CM5. Froyo 6th, CM6. Gingerbread 7th, CM7. Honeycomb 8th, CM8 (Never released due to no public source) Ice Cream Sandwich 9th, CM9. Jellybean 10th, CM10.

    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.

    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!

    Instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508556


    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.
