Same here, this "gingerclone" was originally going to be a theme chooser app but my laptop has all the software I need and I don't have access to her atm >:( hopefully I can get it to work soon. Before, I got my own images to switch which is only half the job using one of our themes as a base.. I need to get it to add additional images and change text colors which I'll have to spend more time looking into. Ima read up on CM7 theme making cause I'm sure its very similar or atleast would help a ton
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
So who would like to test Smooth Maximus GingerClone ? Just want a lil feed back before I post it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i have a how to flash smooth maximus x rom video made. i just have to edit the sound quality and add some effects and convert it. it will be up tonight.(if all goes well)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i'll be a tester:D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bburke88:
Ill test.

cwm recovery before the flash unmount/cache mount/date unmount /sdcard unmount system but my sdcard dosen't mount says error unmounting sdcard what do i do
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Don't do anything with the other mounts or sd card. As long as your system says /unmount system you can ignore that part and install the ROM
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
this doesnt seem right before you flash the rom your mounts should say

UNMOUNT CACHE

MOUNT DATA

MOUNT SDCARD

UNMOUNT SYSTEM

your mount is saying unmount sdcard which it should say after you have flashed the rom but before reboot.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] j-king:
ok did it put

dose it take long to reboot

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xxxxairwavexxxx1:
You should make a video on how to install this bro to make things super simpler. make a video from scratch from the cwm flashing to installing the rom step by step it would surely help the noobs as well as me "noob" -.-
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jomarxx:
If you need anyone else to test I'm down
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
Ill have a video up within the next few days
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
if someone doesnt beat me to it i'll try to make an install vid this week.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
lol congratz and welcome to smooth maximus :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Also, Smooth Maximus GingerClone has been sent to - bburke88 & Datlilboricua

We'll await feedback from them, then i can post publicly.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
It will probably be eleased tonight?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
So I flashed it ayoteddy and The only thing I found was in regular launcher everything else looks good to go and u took out contact button from dailer? That was a good feature

I appreciate this theme so much more than the dark blue. Finally remembered to install photoshop on my laptop, so I'll be working on a theme or two. Probably a transparent and a cyan or green theme.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
me tooo and a transparent one would be nice2

im working on a orange one but i wanna make it for theme chooser cant get it to complie right if not ima make a update zip
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
It's usually easier to just change the apk than to try to recompile it. you can open the apk with winzip and it just shows up like a zip, then you can edit the images individually from there, or if you already have it all done you can just pull them into the folder. If you have it done already, I can put them into a theme apk and test it for you/send it back to you if you want? pm me if that sounds interesting.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
im not done yet i tried changing the apk and pushing it back to system app but it dosent come out in theme chooser when im fully done ima see if i can get it to work and ill send u it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] j-king:
How can I get the feed and update app?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
thanks and i will add the themed google search back.

and the contacts button is there its just moved - right side of call button

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bburke88:
Ayo,

I will be flashing in a couple hrs. Been busy at work.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jahnbodah:
what should the unmount/mounts be at the time of data restore? and at time of reboot?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
U dpnt do anything for data restore I suggest u reboot first let eveything load dont set anything up and reboot into recovery after and dp data restore tbats what I do

Sent From My Rooted Sidekick 4g XDA Premium App
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
how do you do a data restore?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
after you make a nandroid backup, when you flash a ROM reboot into recovery and go to backup and restore > advanced restore > *choose backup* > restore data
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
thank you so much!

you seem to be one of the only devs for the sidekick. why? i thought there would be alot of people intrested in this device.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
also theres another option sd-ext i beleieve does that restore what was on the sd card?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
No problem.

and sure there might be alot of people interested in this device but unfortunately most of those people arent the most experienced with android or developing, they'll probably just use the phone as it is. since there are so much more powerful phones available and this one happens to be targeted at a younger age group, all the dev's just pick up better phones and look past this one. I myself am not the most experienced with dev'ing but i decided to use what i know to help make the Sidekick a better phone (or show what its capable of). otherwise we wouldnt even have a working ODIN restore yet >.>. most people in the SK4G forums that are flashing/modding already have experience and most likely own a second, more popular phone (in my case, i have a vibrant)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
ignore that.

nothing was removed from the SD so nothing of your use can be restored
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
when i tried to restore data it did nothing except erase my apps?

it erased my games such as tapfish doodle jump etc and it erased some of my launchers i downloaded
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
why did you restore when you had a setup ? and does your backup contain apps that you wanted ? cause that would be the only reason to restore, to keep your data (messages, settings set-up, apps+app data ect). i said to do it after flashing the ROM and it will restore your data partition to the way it was when you made the backup.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i thought it had apps i wanted but i guess not. what happened is i messed up the phone before flashing but somehow got into recovery mode so maybe i lost all my apps when phone got messed up .

well thanks for trying to help

p.s when will you be releasing gingerclone?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
im trying to have it Released around 10PM (Eastern Time), unfortuantely im more busy in the afternoon/evening so we will see what happens. it'll be much worth the wait though trust me
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
im so exited i cant wait for it!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bburke88:
Looks real nice. I'm diggin this better than maximus x.

The only issue I found was in the email app, the compose button is messed up.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
what do you like better than maximus x?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
yea i know what the problem is with that, theres a bout 3 images (icons) that our sidekick custom frameworks doesnt contain. it can be taken care of if u use the system apps the sidekick comes with as they are modified to display those specific images but these ROMs are using most system apps based on Stock 2.2.1 Touchwiz from SGS4G and some AOSP apps. which should be the only time you see the missing icon thing. Otherwise it wont be a problem and it doesnt effect the functionality of w.e button the missing icon is on so i'll leave it.

but if the email compose thing really bother ya bburke you can push the stock sidekick touchwiz email app to system/app
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
it just feels lighter and more clean overall . i dig it much more than SMX myself. im sure you'll feel the same once you try it.

also im trying to mod the browser to allow 8 tabs and have it ready for the release :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
are there themes with this rom?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
nope but now that you mentioned it and someone asked for them earlier im going to zip all the themes the sidekick came with and post them in the themes and apps section today when i have a chance
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
thanks,

also wondering if you or anyone else you know of would be coming out with roms in the future?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
me, possibly as im still learning alot of new things.

idk about anyone else though, but hopefully.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
you can now find the themes in a thread i posted in the themes and apps section

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Also final version is ready, I been running it for about 3 hours on my phone testing everything out making sure all the apps work. I optimized the apps a bit different this time so everything runs a lot smoother all together. This will also be my flagship ROM from here on and I'll really only be updating that ROM. Thing is, I need atleast two people to test the final version out with me for atleast the next couple of hours and make sure they don't run into any problems. If you test this for me and all is well you won't have to reflash as its complete.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
ill test if you want me too

idk if i told you before but i recommended you found an alternative widget cause that one is a samsung widget and only works with TW launcher the phone came with. i have a apk for feeds and updates that will work with (and only with) the TW4 launcher that is included in this ROM.. only thing is its pink (then again i dont remember what color our feeds and updates originally was) it needs to be pushed to system/app . its attached below.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowfox66:
Can i use Rom Manager for this aswell just flashing the rom VIA that after flashing CWM??
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
i Dont recommend Flashing from ROM Manager just do it from Recovery.. But it is Recommended that you guys Update your ROMs to the Gingerclone Version of this And Request what you want back from this ROM and i can give it to you as a Theme. Gingerclone has a much more than this ROM + better battery life. You'll like it trust me
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
From the OP incase anyone misses it. .

ATTENTION: There HAS been an update to This ROM .. its Called Smooth Maximus ROM GingerClone. That from here on will be my Flagship ROM and will be recieving all of the future Updates . .

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED That you Update to this GingerClone Version as it has much more than this ROM (See it Here) ALL of the themed apps + framework from this ROM will soon be available to Flash on the Gingerclone ROM. But i Think you should try out the Gingerbread/SHSII theme for a while its pretty clean and slick ! Thanks for your Time and Happy Flashing !!

also try a battery pull, or charge the device even if its not dead its worked for me before.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sk4guser:
well i softbricked it and went back to the stock ODIN. what i did was root it, installed ROM manager, installed super manager, changed the file name from recovery to recovery.bak then put the update zip file the maximus file the cwm3cxx file and went back into recovery mode through ROM manager and i deleted everything and i only had 4 choices -install packages,reboot device,and delete cache and data and it just bricked time after time, i cant find the mounting everyone is tlking about
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
odin back to stock then follow my instructions:

download:

http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/recovery.zip

This is the recovery.

http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/update.zip

this is the update

http://www.4shared.com/get/HpENkmN8/Root_Explorer_v2124.html

this is root explorer.

open the first file on your computer and take out the recovery file inside it and place it on the sd card.

place the second file on the sd card

and install the last file.

now open root explorer scroll down and find sdcard,

now open it and find recovery and long press on it. hit copy. now hit the back button once.

now find system. open it.

find bin. open it.

hit mount r/w on the top

hit paste and overwrite the file.

next, power down the device and instead of powering on regularly, press volume down+ power button you should be in the recovery mode.

if it is blue then hit install packages,

if it is red you should be good to go.

follow the instructions at the beginning of this thread.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sk4guser:
i did everything correctly and it was really fast but it wont go into recovery mode
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sk4guser:
it worked, the reinstall package worked instead of fail lol now what, wipe everything and chk mounts?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
follow these from the begging of the thread.

- 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

ive dont the steps at the top of this page it says package cant verify
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Brundon, if you're on stock (blue) recovery and getting signature verification failed, then you didn't get the recovery part right. make sure you place the recovery in /system/bin/.

If you don't have cwm now (presumably because you odined), just rerun the script I sent you in the CWM thread yesterday and your cwm should be set up, then you can flash the rom from there.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] moonrock:
this is probably a really stupid question - we can't install the OTA update with this rom installed, right?

Nope, must be on the stock ROM. See my Odin thread if you plan on going back to stock for the update
