Smooth Maximus ROM X [Final]

Here it is . . Download at the bottom of this post.. please read this message before proceeding

WARNING *READ*

This Contains Bali 2.2 Voodoo lagfix Kernel, so when you flash this ROM it will enable voodoo lagfix upon reboot (if you dont want voodoo for some odd reason, right after flashing the ROM and before rebooting out to recovery you can stop the conversion before it starts by going to voodoo options in recovery and select disable voodoo on next reboot) if you have voodoo enabled before flashing this ROM you do NOT have to disable it.

you have to be safe with this because it converts your file systems from rfs to ext4 which makes your phone much faster overall, but if you have voodoo lagfix (ext4) enabled and flash a ROM NOT Containing a voodoo lagfix kernel (Prev. versions of Smooth Maximus) you will end up in a soft brick, meaning you have to wipe your phone and ODIN starting all over again. To simply avoid soft bricking when flashing a ROM that doesnt contain a voodoo kernel, "disable voodoo" in recovery before flashing the non voodoo ROM.. it takes just a few minutes

Please enjoy i know you will ;)

Installing Smooth Maximus X on my SK4G now , then will write a text review then a video review in the morning ;-)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vicmora5:
Do we still have to do all this? Or will wiping be enough?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
i would say yes follow them steps a fresh install is always better
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Ah , only if this ROM has better resolution , to make the resolution smaller . :/

* UPDATE *

on the other launcher's , you can change density & it will be alright !

* STUCK IN BOOTANIMATIONLOOP *
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
yes same install procedure
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
..what do you mean if only this rom had better resolution ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vicmora5:
Well I followed all the steps and got through it alright [: No problems at all, thanks for the hard work ayo
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
On the TouchWiz 4.0 when you make the resolution smaller on full display it don't work but if u go with the other 2 launcher's it work's & it look's HD & On 2.0 I was getting 1400 now I'm getting 1200 o.o
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
I didn't mention anyting about making resolutions smaller.. that has nothing to do with the ROM if you make your own resolution smaller and certain launcher dont support density changes I don't have anything to do with it

And you know you were told this before quadrants are flawed use the phone and see how fast and stable it is and decide yourself how good it is. This is noticably the most stable release yet but on quadrant you can get anything from 1200-1500 so quadrant scores aren't the most reliable
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] droctii:
@ayoteddy

Wipe Data/Factory Reset .... Fuh Real? Ok, so here's the question, is that simply recommended or would you say required?Just checking because I don't feel like having to restore all that system data, set up email accounts, etc. again. (And yes, I use Titanium or Mybackup Pro...still a pain). I'm used to Wipe Cache and Dalvik with most updated ROMs (I have a couple of Android phones).

Oh yeah, while I'm on it (LOL)...any plans for a "plain" theme?

And yeah...THANKS!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
You would most likely run into some problems if you dont wipe before flashing but this is the last time I promise lol. And yes, since thi is the final release I can move on &nd I'm going to start working on an AOSP theme for theme ROM aswell as a couple of themes, planned to have them available sooner but my hands were a bit full. Would you like to give me an idea of the type of theme you would like ? (Like AOSP gingerbread, simple clean theme or something.)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] droctii:
Cool. Guess I just have to do it....theme wise aosp Gingerbread is fine.

Thanks again

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Everything on this ROM is truely amazing . The speed , & even with all the tweak's & bali 2.2 kernel we have a quick speedy ROM , thank you for all the support to our device ayoteddy , will be doing a video review later in the afternoon .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
jomarxx what do you mean 'resets'? have you tried redownloading?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Hm I gotta know what he means by reset.. like random reboots ?

And for those who flash Smooth Maximus ROM X how you liking it compared to the previous versions ? Is it worth being final ? What's your opinions
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jabrutal:
i have a question with titanium backup before i begin installing this rom

after i backup all my apps (assuming its necessary to backup ALL of them), where does titanium save them to? er...what do i do after the data wipe to access my backedup apps?

this is my first time using titanium backup, or any backup app at all, and i wanna make sure i do it right so i dont gotta start all over again
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
I think the ROM is excellent, from the way it runs to the way it looks. it has far exceeded my expectations, so thanks a million for it!

the only thing I tried to change is the messaging app, tried to revert back to the way it was on SMR 2.0..... deleted the messaging apk first, then moved the messaging apk from 2.0 into /system/app, but it remained the same as it is in SMR X.... any ideas?

not a big deal AT ALL, because I am pretty much used to the new modded bubbles already, and I really love this ROM and don't even know what else I would change or add. so to me it seems suitable as a final version.

p.s. love the Google Search Bar, lol.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jomarxx:
Sorry I guess I used the wrong word I was trying to say that the phone wipes automatically after flashing the roms...... I was trying to flash without wiping. Plus the rom works great.... :-)

Edit: I'm getting random fc anyone else?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jmpz:
Rom is good but the theme is too geeky. Hope you'll create a standard Google theme soon.

How about creating cyanogen mod compliant ROM?

anyone on my titanium backup comment? I want this rom!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] droctii:
Can anyone confirm this before I flash?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Lol yea its not you I got it too, I'm not sure what icon belongs there I only noticed it on the gb launcher before but it showed on stocked theme too.. gunna check it out in the morning. Thanks for the find
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Yea its just a misplaced icon though won't effect anything else
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] droctii:
Good..I'll hold off flashing the wife's phone tonight. Last thing I need is to hear about a missing icon!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
It should be backing it up to the SDCard in the TitaniumBackUp Folder
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
It saves your back up to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
okay cool, if there's anything in particular that you like that you think is worth sharing with everyone else take a screeny and show off your new ROM :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Teddy, would it be ok if I made a transparent version of this tomorrow? I really like the look of transparent, rather than opaque, especially with the notification bar, it was my favorite feature of CM.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
i forgot to do your instruction's & now im stuck . i have to ODIN it back to default ROM + root it + CWM then Flash the ROM back on .

How do i go into download mode i forgot .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Trackpad + vol down when you plug in the usb cable. Be very sure to double check every step, it's important.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
ODIN'in it right now back to default ROM then will root , CWM then install this rom , write the report + take screanie's today & post a post tommorrow . Everybody enjoy the rom & Don't forget to FOLLOW the Instructions .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xxxxairwavexxxx1:
hey man u think u can make a step by step video or explain to me step by step what to do?? ill donate to u i promise i will. i downloaded rom manager through market and flashed booted into recovery but all that comes out is "reinstall packages, delete all user data and wipe cache." what am i supposed to do from there? its cus i was sooo used to the hd2 but this is different...:/
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
In the second post I have instructions its very simple just take your time and be careful the process only takes about 5 mins. And use the CWMzip from my second post not rom manager.

Will see about making a video tutorial tomorrow
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
No Problem
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xxxxairwavexxxx1:
thats the problem lol how the do i install the update.zip? where do i go on my phone or what? sorry if this is annoying but im not used to this phone at all...

Go to the CWM for Sidekick 4G thread Posted by Krylon360, the update.zip he links you to is the same as he one I have attacted. Follow that thread then once your on CWM proceed on to this

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bburke88:
Ayoteddy, the rom looks awesome. I'm gonna flash it tomorrow. What apps did you remove? Is the stock messaging app still there? Also, does the dialer still work the same, where you can enter the first few letters of someones name and it'll recognize it?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xxxxairwavexxxx1:
ehh i give up fck this. ill just end up bricking my phone since i really have no fckn idea what to do...,. -.- ill just wait for a video with exact instructions. Thanks though for the first rom.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jomarxx:
Cool theme... I really like it.... working great so far
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylerfromnj:
that was a dope rom teddy, first time I ever tried to flash anything, just got my sidekick 2 weeks ago. never touched an android before then.

all in all it took me maybe an hour to get everything working correctly, what took me the longest to do was I didn't know I was suppose to replace that recovery file in system > bin... if people have never done any of this before i can see why they are having trouble.

I'm flashing back to stock already though, roms aren't for me hah.

I noticed there was no landscape home screen for either preloader or whatever you guys call it, kinda disappointing, other than that everything else was pretty great, i was surprised.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
I boot into recovery & it say's /format some thing's . o-o
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
I just ODIN'ed the phone 4 time's , it say's cannot unmount cache .

Any help here ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Everybody go with AmbientTime Home it's the best in this ROM & it look's great the design , battery & all the work you put into this theming it . 9/10

When you go into PhoneCall's you can't type out the name & it'll show the number like the OG SK4G Dialer & Why can't we expand to 7 home page's ? I only have 4 . Auto-Rotation work's also . My SK4G now look's alive . Haha . thank's' alot ayo . I would love to see your change's to this ROM
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Man thanks 9/10 is good for a release candidate !

Were you able to get the ROM to flash with no problem ?

And I removed all of the themes (except disguise) and just the apps Tmobile has in here (visual voicemail, my account ect.) I'll see about making a actual list in a few.

And you can go to preferences in the Xperia Arc Launcher and add/remove more home pages I think its 7 by default but you can add more. Ambient time has 5 pages but you can't add/remove any

Wow Teddy, this is really well done, especially considering that we've only had CWM for 2 days! Just got into work and flashed this, it looks great! I'll let you know if I find anything wrong. There are some random little tweaks I would love to see implemented, for example, su in adb, by adding ro.secure=0 to the default.prop, adding busybox would be wonderfully helpful.

I really like the dark market theme! I'll hopefully make my transparency changes/theme later today, depending on how busy work gets.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
I am having trouble here at step one. I get it into the CWM3XX.zip and when I try to wipe Data and Cache it has an error. Then when I try to change my Mounts it just fails. Anyone know why this is happening?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] droctii:
Curious...since this is supposed to be the final version, is there a plan to fix this or it is what it is?

S

Or you can do an advanced restore through clockworkmod and just restore your data and everything will be where you had it before flashing including your settings, then you don't have to bother with titanium backup taking up space on your sd card
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jabrutal:
awesome. so backup through titanium then adv. restore through cwm. all my stuff should be in the titanium folder when i advanced restore, correct?

Its really no biggie lol ayoteddy

No, don't use titanium, just do a backup in clockworkmod and after you flash go to the restore menu go to advanced and just restore /data

wish I could thank on the xda app but I can't so heres my thanks.

thanks
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
awsome very stable

battery life= win

speed= win

easy to install even for beginner.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
You could either use CWM or Titanium. Usually I just re-download it from the market and restore only apps+data but not system apps.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tweeklulz:
hm, just fyi i did the install but i forgot to wipe cache and data and it installed fine.. reinstalling though see if it changes anything

I tried it and it bricked... semi-stuck. can't get into download mode. It even stops loading the battery app when I plug in power from off. Any other ways to get in to download mode?

GOT IT! took me a couple tries but it finally went into Download mode:)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
hey, check this out, this is pretty crazy! take a look at the time since unplugged and the battery percentage!! it is AWESOME, but seems almost TOO good!!

(i have the font enlarged with an app, so that's why it looks a little strange, lol)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jahnbodah:
Ya, had that happen to me once too, its incorrect, restart your phone and you will see the real percentage.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
damn, burst my bubble, will ya? haha, just kidding, it was way too good to be true. but even just 21+ hours is pretty darn good! i think the tweaks in this ROM plus the Bali kernel are really working out GREAT together!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wolfepakt:
Just curious, what percentage are you at after rebooting?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
i'm at 16% after rebooting. i would say i have been using the phone moderately in the past 22 hours.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jabrutal:
is the bali kernel included or do I have to reinstall that after flash?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] hailthethief:
it flashes with bali
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
Does anyone use Widget Locker? I've noticed that when I try to unlock my phone it unlocks to the stock lock screen then reboots. It'll hang for a little while stuck on the SK lock screen, vibrate, then reboot. Is there a way to stop the SK lock screen from popping up?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vicmora5:
Sounds like the interference is giving you force closes, go to the widget locker settings/advanced/root helper/ then check the first box. That should hel pyou out by providing root access to widget locker
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
Thanks I'll try that out. WOOO!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
nah doesn't look like that worked either... maybe i should just disable it for now...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vicmora5:
Hm idk then I was also getting force closes and reboots earlier on before I flashed any roms. I think it was due to widget locker as well so i had it disabled but after flashing smooth maximus i put widgetlocker on again and everything seems smooth
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CharlieBoy808:
maybe a reinstall might work then...

Something has gone TERRIBLY WRONG... I had flashed v2.0 - but when I went to flash version X I am getting the NO SYSTEM FOUND (Robotic voice) and it won't get past the Sidekick screen. :( Making the device, inoperable. PLEASE HELP!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
did you check your mounts after flashing, and make sure your system was mounted before you rebooted, as described in the flashing instructions? it sounds like that could be the problem.

you will probably have to Odin back to stock, which is described in another thread in this section, and then reflash the ROM.

[ROM] [CWM] [ROOT] Smooth Maximus ROM X

my sk4g is rooted and i have ROM manager but when i reboot to cwm recovery it does not let me flash nor gives me option to check storage and mount plz help and thanks for the Rom.

Found 3xxcwm.zip but how do I install it to rom manager.

Sorry but this is my first time doing this.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CriolaBrazuka:
I had no issues the first time I flashed. And did as instructed, but to be quite honest I am have no idea what I did. At this point, I need to get it back to stock. But I can't get into recovery. I will try your ODIN thread, thank you. (Glad that's my spare phone...) I'll give it a shot tomorrow. And report back.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
j-king: What options do you get in recovery? is it a Red CWM? or orange? what steps did you take to get to where you are now?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
do you have the modded recovery to allow you to flash the update.zip from stock recovery ? if not go to the CWM thread and get that modded recovery and place it in your system/bin then you can flash the update.zip (CWM) to flash this ROM. This ROM will flash Bali 2.2 so you wont have to use the stock recovery anymore cause CWM is built into the Kernel

New ROM soon . .

Smooth Maximus GingerClone/SGSII Clone ROM Coming Soon. . (possibly tonight but i dont like rushing)

Keeping the stability and Speed of this ROM, yet Giving a Stock Gingerbread Look. Clean AOSP Looking 2.2.1 ROM mainly based on the SGSII. Mainly for those who like a choice in ROMs and/or need to get away from the Blue theme for a while. Making this ROM available in two flavors: Gingerbread Themed &nd Honeycomb Themed.

nice..... I do need a break from the blue :-)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CriolaBrazuka:
I'm back to stock, and am going to TRY once again to Flash this ROM. Thanks Teddy for suggesting your ODIN post.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
no problem, just remember to check your mounts before/after flashing :)

also you should re download the ROM just incase your last download was corrupt .. it happens
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] CriolaBrazuka:
I have redownloaded, and will try to flash it again. (looking forward to the GB version) --- THANKS AGAIN!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
oh then you might want to wait a bit before re setting everything up - it might be out by tonight. Everything is ready im just fixing a few icons to match the theme.

And if your interested in testing it let me know ;)

damn let me know u know im down to test looking foward to this

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
make sure u press r/w on the top in root explorer
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
i'll upload in a few .. but know that its not a gingerbread ROM . its just Themed that way (SGSII) and most apps are just normal unthemed. a few people requested a more simple theme so i went with Stock Gingerbread :) the Apps arent themed only the main icons cause i hate the Sidekick icons >.<. but most apps are the same just an unthemed version with SGSII icons.

This ROM is very easy on the eyes and i myself will be using it for a bit until i come up with something new. speed and stability remains the same just a cleaner/simpler look

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jaesmalls860:
Sidekick

How do you do the unmount step?

I think somebody should do a step by step on youtube
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
All you have to do for the unmount step is to go into the Mounts and Storage section of CWM after you flashed and make sure it looks the same as ayo's original post. I never had any issues if my partitions weren't mounted, but as good practice, follow the original post.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] j-king:
Thanks it works going to flash now and r u form pureto rico. Thank to datliboricua and teddy
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
when the gingerbread rom comes out will i have to clear my data and loose all my contacts apps pictures, etc..:confused:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
You would loose your data only. To prevent complete lose of data you can make a backup in CWM and advanced restore only the data partition right after flashing the ROM.

Your contacts are syncd with google like any other android phone does. And this won't delete anything on your SD (pics and music, ect.)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
Thank you.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
I would appreciate that, would solve a lot of repeated questions. Also I like comedy vids PM me your youtube name maybe I'm a potential fan of you too lol
