[HTC Sensation] euki69:
Hey guys! I just got my sensation yesterday at a T-mobile and it's been rebooting and games have been force closing on me quite often. It might be that the games I'm playing are not meant for this phone but the weird thing is that these games worked fine on my nexus one.

n64oid - was fine on N1 although laggy.

dungeon defenders

samurai II: vengence

last stand

Psxdroid-doesn't work at all it seems.

I'm aware these games may not be enhanced for the sensation but I'm just wondering if it was just me or has any of you had problems with the phone freezing and force closing while running more "resource demanding" apps? I want to know so I'd know whether or not I should swap it out. Thanks for any help.
[HTC Sensation] segfault82:
yep, certain games keep freezing for me to. guerilla bob is one that freezes without fail after 2-3 minutes. don't really get force closes, it just freezes and then i have to press the home button to get out. i wonder if it's related to the battery temperature, or maybe the memory is running low?

edit: also, ive had the same issue on two different devices.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
The only two games I ever play run smooth as butter and look insane on the Sensation. They are Home Run Battle 3D and Angry Birds RIO. They actually run smoother than on my G2X.
[HTC Sensation] euki69:
hmmm.. this isn't good :/ it feels to me as if my sensation is unnecessarily freezing on games it should be able to handle..

mine also freezes on Modern Combat 2 HD and Nanopanda..

wonder if this is a hardware or software issue..
[HTC Sensation] TJBunch1228:
+1, that damn home run game is a friggin drug. Looks and runs smooth.
[HTC Sensation] Arcadia310:
I've noticed it with Dungeon Defenders. DD uses around 125MB of RAM. I've noticed that while I use the Sensation I have less than 150MB of RAM. I'm thinking that the RAM gets depleted by games that use over 100MB of RAM and causes the phone/game to crash. I can't even play DD for long until the phone crashes.

If I kill all the apps the game runs smoothly, but if I play it with not a lot of free RAM it becomes choppy and noticeably laggy.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Once we get root and get the bloatware/Sense off of it, most of these games are going to fly.
[HTC Sensation] stonew5082:
Yup. Even dual core phones can't handle this bloated sense crap. I can't even run live wallpaper, lol. Need.... Root... Gasp!

Install Instructions: Read Carefully.

Flash though CWM

*The CWM that comes from ROM manager seems to have a problem. When Wiping/Factory Resetting CWM freezes at sdcard/.android_secure, then you'd have to pull battery. it may also have a problem Restoring backups, stopping at sdcard/.android_secure. If you used CWM from ROM manager and had No problems then congrats, But i recommend you download the update.zip (i renamed to CWM3XX.zip so it doesnt replace the CWM you already have) i attached to this post incase you run into these problems, then from CWM you can flash the CWM3XX.zip and it will Flash a CWM that has No problems at all, this CWM i got from Krylon360 before it was Added to ROM Manager. it would be smart to keep that on your SD Until this issue is addressed.

Instructions -

- Put zip file in your /sdcard

- Reboot into cwm recovery

- Wipe Data/Factory Reset

- Wipe Cache Partition

*Now before you Flash, Only if this is your FIRST time Flashing a Custom ROM otherwise ignore the mounts/unmount part*

MAKE SURE YOUR MOUNTS LOOK LIKE THIS: (Go to mounts and storage from CWM recovery)

UNMOUNT CACHE

MOUNT DATA

MOUNT SDCARD

UNMOUNT SYSTEM

- Now its safe to Flash the .zip

after you flash, go back to mounts and storage (before rebooting, AGAIN IGNORE if this isnt your First time) and make sure your mounts look like this

UNMOUNT CACHE

MOUNT DATA

UNMOUNT SDCARD

UNMOUNT SYSTEM

(To First Time installers, System Needs to be set to Unmount, though it would really be mounted. If you do Not do this you will have a softbrick and will have to ODIN to stock and start all over ....)

Download Smooth Maximus ROM X (187.48 MB) >>>>>>>>> Download!!

About the ROM itself..

This ROM is build from the Sidekick 4G KD1/Samsung Galaxy S 4G KD1. Most system apps are from the SGS4G. This Theme is based on a Honeycomb Setting. Though its a combination on Honeycomb 3.0, Xperia Arc and Xperia Play, Sense 3.0, and Galaxy S II. There is A LOT of themed apps inside. Id say pretty much most of them are themed and more to come. The Icons and Menus of Most of the app are bright and colorful. This ROM has a lot of the bloat from Tmobile removed. If You want your battery to be at best on this ROM then don't Flash this ROM on 100% so your battery stats remain correct.

Theme Manager is in this ROM but only the Disguise Theme is Available at the moment..

If you have any force closes/bugs/problems please report them asap.

I have credits to give will update in the morning when finishing OP.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
Oh man, the anticipation is killing me!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xxxxairwavexxxx1:
im fckn excited :D!!!!!! OH YEAH!!! ;D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jahnbodah:
And just wanna clarify, we need to flash new CWM file from within current (broken) CWM. right? ...Or just rename to update.zip and put on SD card?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
I can't wait until this is uploaded , it sound's amazing really & since it's the first CUSTOM ROM , i am really exicted to see how it is .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Screenies posted. and you can download and rename to update.zip that will work fine
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Ayo, what's the music player in your notification bar? I would love to have something like that! also, I'm working on a theme of my own from your stock deodex now, if it ever looks half decent I'll add it, but for now, yours beats the crap out of mine. I'll prob use yours when it's done and final.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jahnbodah:
cool, thanks for the quick response!

...is there ANY CHANCE AT ALL... (Highly doubtful) that we could get the theme manager on stock rom (and possibly still in yours) working with the CM7 theme apks?

Like I said, highly doubtful, but that would be epic win.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
jahnbodah: The CM7 Theme manager is dependent on GingerBread, so until we have a gingerbread port, we can't use it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
its a Modded MusicMod music player based on the aosp froyo google android music player. Only this one is modded to work with the lockscreen and in notification bar.

And The theme and ROM is complete. But I Wont say the ROM is final unless you guys agree on that so there might be minor updates. This is just the first release so i can get feedback and see what you guys think.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
what he said . .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
is it possible to post that apk? I would love to have that in my notification bar without having to download a full rom...

Would you consider porting your Scarlet LeftOvers v6 Theme? Took a look at it and looks wonderful.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
yea i'll send you a dropbox link in a few

&nd as for Scarlet Leftovers.. i was thinking about it, maybe if i have time this weekend i can work on porting it.

i Recommend you try out the ROM if you dont mind flashing a new ROM though, the experience is so much different from what this phone comes as
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
scarlet's ! lol , & are you going to upload the ROM tonight ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Ok, you win i'll try your rom tomorrow :] I'm really looking forward to your/our ext4/lagfix work in a future rom, hopefully we can get that part figured out.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Feedback Please :)

The Link is Up see the Second Post Under Instructions .. Hope you guys try it out and tell me what you think.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Finished downloading the ROM , flashing it on now . Will post a review in the afternoon tommorrow after school . & how did you take screen shot's from the phone .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
i used an app called ShootMe from the Market
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
will download that after i flash this on .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
2.0 fixed that problem for me . Did you wipe / wipe cache ? Or just update & try flashing it again .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
I noticed that too but I used titanum backup I reloaded all my apps rebooted and some were missing so I ran the restore again and rebooted and it was fine.

P.S. if your icons don't show up use something that kills tasks to restart your home page after your sd card fully scans. I use android assistant and just hit quick boost problem solved icons are back
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
thanks you guys. problem is I have only phone, messaging, and contacts... not even the market to download anything. I am reflashing the ROM and will see what I can do... thx for the suggestions.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
You flashed it wrong prob if you don't have market lolol .

Reflash it and read .

My advice is ODIN your device & do a fresh install
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
yes

finally

downloading now

u the man
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
yes, if you guys have the disappearing app problem it would be a good idea to Start fresh wth an ODIN to stock, then re-do the process. it may be a problem with the Backup apps so im going to look into it. Should be fine after a clean slate/Odin

Be sure to follow install instructions carefully.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
thanks. everything seems fine after reflashing the ROM. just so you know tho, I even had an app 'dissappear' after downloading it from the market, so it might not be just with the backup apps. the app didn't really dissappear, but the icon changed, and when I tried to open it, it went to this really strange email draft message.... never seen anything like it! lol

Sent from my SGH-T839
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
what app was this ? it may be a system app that got updated in the Market so the icon goes back to stock
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
dang, i'm trying to remember what it was.... I think it was either Font Size or Custom Font Switcher. it's working fine now tho. but before, when I tried to open it, it seemed to create an email message, waiting for me to send it, with all kinds of weird text in the body. unfortunately it is gone now, but if I see it again, I will shoot you a screenshot or something.

Sent from my SGH-T839
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
ooh okay good. thanks; the app may have thought it had a bug crash (some apps have bug crash reports that emails the Dev of the app so they can fix em) could of been that but let me know if you see it again
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
yeah, that's what it looked like, come to think of it. cool, and thanks for the ROM... this device is really shaping up, thanks to you and the others. I'll hit 'thanks' when I get to the computer ;)

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
thanks, and if you dont mind the trouble you can make a theme for the TW4 app the replaces the Dock icons like i did. go to the thread for the touchwiz4 launcher and the OP tells you how to make a theme for it. glad you're diggin the ROM though :cool:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
What kinda theme u looking for it looks easy to theme it lol real simple

How can I change the dock icons to ones I use in twz

Sent From My Rooted Sidekick 4g XDA Premium App
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Lol no I know how to theme the app I was saying if you was looking for different icons for the launcher you can make a theme for it and it'll replace the icons on the launcher

To change the icons you need to just put all the icons in a zip with the proper name.. go to the post where the download link for the ROM and I link you to the original TW4 thread and he tells you how to make themes for it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tweeklulz:
not sure if it's related with the ROM but is there any way to have CPU and RAM usage % displayed in the top bar? very much like the battery meter
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bburke88:
Can you edit the dock on the touchwiz launcher? Like, change what icons are there? I want to add web, but can't figure out how.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
Yea me either idk why its supose to let u

Sent From My Rooted Sidekick 4g XDA Premium App
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Yes, just open the app drawer, hit menu, then edit. Then drop/remove the apps you want to the dock
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bburke88:
Thanks! I knew you could, just couldn't figure out how.

V.2 is very nice. Good job ayo
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jomarxx:
Yo teddy, do I replace the swype with this one or do I just drop it in with the old one. I tryied replacing it and I just lose swype.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
try deleting the swype you have, then reboot. then push the swype to System/app

I'm getting a possble bug. When sending MMS, it fails and I get a message saying "error in server response".

No Problem, Actually i just made a SGSII theme for the launcher. will post pics and the theme in a sec
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
don't the SGSII theme is made by Datlilboricua

don't have 2 :/
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jomarxx:
I did what u said and is not working. Now I don't have swype. It is in the system/app but is not working
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Lol What ?

If anyone wants the theme for those dock icons let me know.. they look much more clean I'll try to make a honeycomb version out of these later
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jomarxx:
Never mind got it to work! :-)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Edit:Lol I was in the middle of replying to you

What did you do to get it to work ? Did the instructions I gave you work ? I believe someone else had a problem installing it too

Smooth Maximus V2.0 Voice Review = Video
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] droctii:
AyoT,

Thanks for the good work on the ROM. Does anyone have plans for making a plain-Jane, vanilla theme for this ROM? As I mentioned before the themes are a little to funky for my taste...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jomarxx:
They instructions work...after placing the apk in the system/app you have to go to settings to "locale and text".... you will see that swype is checked but it won't work, you still have to make sure that swype is selected on "input method" and the END.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
idk if anyone else is going to be working on that but would you be more comfortable with a gingerbread theme on this ROM? If so I can look into porting a full gingerbread theme having it ready by atleast Friday. Id port a vanilla theme but I can tell now its not gunna be too pretty with our framework
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Lol ah I'm pretty sure the other person just forgot to re-enable swype aswell :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] droctii:
Hey, if it works then I'd be grateful.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
check it

Well elixer will let you put pie chart looking monitors for cpu ue and battery like in the notification bar but idk about ram. Tho it also has extremely customizable widgets that you can put all those things into plus lots more
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Yeah that worked I kinda feel stupid now lol thanks I can't believe I didn't think of that
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jomarxx:
Lol that's how I felt.... I just kept seen that swype had a check mark in the box so I assumed that it was set as default.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Trev420:
ayoteddy, my girlfriend still absolutely loves v1 of ur rom. As a vibrant owner, i gotta say i love the messaging app that the sidekick came with, with the contact pictures are more incorperated then the stock vibrant messaging app. is there a way i can pull that and try and put in on my vibrant?

and what are the chances of it working with cm7? comes down to it being a froyo messaging app, will it screw up a gingerbread build?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] hahahaclneo:
I followed the instructions step by step but i keep getting stuck on the boot screen, have to keep using odin:mad:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] droctii:
I had that happen to me a few times until I realized you have to follow the instructions in the OP regarding unmount system
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Putting this messaging app on my vibrant gave me a force close the app wouldn't open, lol I tried It cause I liked it better aswell

And this won't work on 2.3 .. especially CM7 as that's an AOSP build and this is a touchwiz messaging app
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
You must not have your /system unmounted in recovery before and after flashing. That is the only way you could soft brick and have to odin, read the instructions carefully
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
If you mean having RAM / CPU displayed by the clock in the upper right then no.. but if you would like RAM in notification Bar you could use widgetsoid from the market.. its a powerful widget tool and allows you to put the widget in your notification bar instead of your homescreen if you want.. pic below
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Can't wait till we figure out the lagfix.. that'll really give this ROM wings.

Also I'm going to try to release two additional themes for this ROM for those who want a more simple base by this weekend
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
Bali Kernel v2.0 supposedly comes with the lagfix. But everyone is having trouble enabling the lagfix. Hopefully we get the lagfix soon.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Yea that's what I was referring to, I couldn't get it to work myself
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
I didn't bother to read the last part of the instructions:

In Voodoo Control 0.10, in the options after selecting Lagfix preferences, Ext4 vconversion and Ext4 /system are both checked. Idk if that means it's actually enabled. But going into a red cwm is more assuring that it is enabled.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
he's working on a Fix for the kernel. i Got the Ext4 conversion to work im getting 1260 - 1320 on quadrant .. this ROM is flawless with the conversion.. just wait and see :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Haha , 1260-1320 is pretty good , that's double stock .

V2.0 w/ Bali V2.0 w/ EXT4 i say it will run amazing .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Lol its awesome

This thing just doesnt lag on opening apps .. at all. this is such a win . Dr.honk is awesome for giving us this kernel
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Quick question , how did you get it working ? O_O
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
he built a kernel with my proper partition table. he's working on a solution for everyone as he said in his thread
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
yeah , It's faster as it is but with Bali V2.0 LAGFIX kernal it'll be 100x faster , when is the light version coming out :(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
this ROM may be final unless i see a reason to update (might update for new users to have the new bali 2.0 kernel) . i mean its very fast as it is. this will hold us down until Krylon ports Black Ice to our phones. there will just be themes for the ROM that i plan to have available by friday. one being gingerbread and maybe vanilla .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Every since i updated to V2.0 i hate every other ROM , Im a TouchWiz 4.0 fan now . Im sticking with Touchwiz 4.0 , I won't upgrade to anything else.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
lol that app isnt ROM specific you know
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Yeah , it's a launcher . I know , I wish we could get a TouchWiz 4.0 port .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] atrocityg1:
v2 not flashing correctly....yes i am mounting correct.

i followed the instructions...figured out v1 just fine...did 2 the exact sameway and everytime or way i try even ways not mentioned in the instructions...and like i said first i tried word for word...like i did with v1...but v2 after the flash....goes to the tmo samsung boot...then after 15-30 it shuts off and reboots to the same screen...then enters recovery...forcing me to do a restore to v1...as i tried flashing again...any suggestions? i double checked mount each time...of the 4 times i tried the flash.:confused:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
If your following the instructions you shouldn't run into any problems.. you can try again. If that doesn't work I suggest you Odin to Stock and start from there to have a clean slate and avoid any problems
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Trev420:
could be a bad download, it happens. try downloading again ( i know this might suck depending on your internet )

if that fails, wipe all the caches from recover, delvik and regular cache, wouldnt hurt to do a factory reset either.

if that fails, try from a fresh odin.

if that fails, well i just dont know lol.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LesserAnimal:
over all very nice rom. but i still have a few nitpicks. When i tried the touchwiz launcher i couldn't access anything on the right side because the default icons persisted over the top of the app launcher. nor did it respond properly to orientation or the phone opening half the time. Seemed to want to stay in portrait mode most of the time. The other launcher looks extra awesome but it seems pulling the phone outta sleep mode the classic sidekick lockscreen shows up for a few seconds before the other one replaces it. Not to big an issue but takes longer to return to your phone and kinda makes it feel patched together. the other issue is the touch screen frequently becoming unreponsive requiring me to put it to sleep and then re opening the lock screen a few times to get it back. I've gone back and forth between this and stock and followed the instructions to a T. So i'm fairly sure these issues aren't user error. I must have (and still do) flashed hundreds of roms,kernals, etc, on my g1 since cupcake. I've gone through just about every thing good and bad. This is an excellent rom in most regards and just a few elements shy of being damn near perfect. Hope you make a 3.0
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
thanks for the feedback . the touchwiz4 launcher isnt recommended to be used in landscape cause landscape mode is still buggy (if you read the Original thread to the TW4 Launcher) also, you can disable the lockscreen that ambient time launcher uses cause it takes about one second to load up after the stock lockscreen (if it bothers you). My phones touchscreen never been unresponsive especially when running this ROM compared to stock. i recommend you go into recovery and wipe cache then go to advanced setting and wipe dalvik cache then reboot.

Edit - v3.0 maybe released Friday or this weekend along with the 2 optional themes.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
You shouldn't just release a new version for 2 theme's , get at least 5 theme's & a few more feature's to go on V3.0 & you should make a Light version first imo .
