Thing is, now I know that the bluetooth patch service (even if bt is off) keeps it from deepsleep. Unfortunately atm it seems, either we have working bluetooth xor deepsleep. Ill add a flashable kernel later as a temp fix which let's battery last, but kills bt.
We are looking at it, if we can find a fix for bt stuff and battery at the same time.

Well at least we know where the problem lies and now we have a choice between battery life and bluetooth..

Thanks!

Optional fix 3

- Fixes Deep sleep, battery issues when phone is idle should be resolved, meaning much better idle battery time
- Bluetooth service is disabled with this boot.img's ramdisk, so you WON'T have bluetooth

We are looking at the bluetooth issue, but it most probably wont be fixed till we can create a working linux version 3 kernel for doubleshot.
pyramid's v3 AOSP/CM9 kernel has a fix for this issue we have just run into, but it cannot be ported easily to older kernel like ours, its more reasonable to resolve it with trying to move to v3 with ds kernel too.

NOTICE: it seems that first you need to connect your device to USB then disconnect to let deepsleep work. There's some trouble with the USB wakelock too.

Great find with the deepsleep. Very unfortunate I use bluetooth a lot. V3 kernel sounds far off... or is this in our grasp shortly?

For now I have to go without fix 3 cos I need bt when driving etc.

Thanks for all that you do teamDS

Loving the Rom so far. I've tried flashing the camera zip from the second link, and every time I try to open the camera up it just says "Camera error Can't connect to the camera." and then closes.

http://pastebin.com/WEkdCz2D I've never done a logcat before so I hope I did it correctly.

Without this fix, and therefore no deep sleep but working bluetooth: I've found if I just switch off my WiFi and Data, battery life is ok enough just running at the low clock rate. I used to toggle them off when not in use on my last phone, because of battery suckage from data.

I use bluetooth daily so, it's perhaps more important to me than bringing an external battery. Guess I'll be waiting unless my fiancee wants to quit texting lol.



Unrelated question: how often is it necessary to flash fresh gapps? I know the stuff from market can auto update...but eh, there seems to be more in there than that!

same here. without the deep sleep fix, i'm usually (but not always) getting good battery life (30% in 5 hours or so) with a combination of juice defender and ondemand cpu governor with a low min

NOTICE: those who use Optional fix 3 (deepsleep/no bluetooth setting) it seems that first you need to connect your device to USB then disconnect to let deepsleep work. There's some trouble with the USB wakelock too.
Do this on every reboot, or if you change Storage USB settings/Android debugging.
Also deepsleep is blocked by wifi too, so if you want deepsleep for a while switch off wifi. Mobiledata works.

Sorry but could you give a little detail, does this need to be done before or after flashing? And is this a one time and done thing? Or is it necessary to do this on a regular basis?

edited post. after every reboot
Also with wifi deepsleep is blocked. Mobiledata is fine.
Use cpuspy to verify (your apps can block too, but these I have listed are surely needed)

    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.

    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!

    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.
    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/

    Till it gets merged into official repos/releases...

    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.
