Infinite sync and market download

My problem began after flashing smooth maximus v2 rom (from smooth maximus v1). I have since installed gingerclone and other custom rom and the problem persists. I have searched via google, xda and other forums and I cannot find resolution to my problem, most likely a lack of correct terms in my search, suggestions welcome, and thank you!

After flashing I wait 10 minutes sometimes before restarting after syncing phone to my gmail account, as it states in the instructions. My calander and now with touchMIUIwiz v2.0 gmail sync is stuck in an infinite loop (does not stop syncing) I am unable to download apps and have found when disabling location services and also gps and or disabling mobile networks location service the rom works the way it is intended until the phone times out and or goes to sleep. (I can sometimes wake the phone up but seems the clock speed is off as the phone begins to freeze lock up and stop all together) No boot loops.

I have followed instructions to the T, and have flashed multiple custom roms and odin'd back to stock and flashed Stock Deodexed KD1 multiple times successfully.

The only roms that work are the last 2 mentioned.

UPDATE: RESOLVED******

I found after UN-syncing calendar relationship to my wife's calendar and then modifying HER .ics calendar file resolved the issue (I removed old entries that spanned across 4 years)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TM_SK4G:
RicardoS_ ,

Do you restore from backup for the ROMS after you flash? If so your backups could be causing your issue. Your post doesn't state if you are restoring data or not. I would say try a clean install of any of the ROMS without using your backup and see if that corrects things.

New Post Under Wipe/Reset

I am getting this error on my sidekick 4G

E:format_volume: make extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure

i was trying to upgrade to Lite'ning ROM but it gave me this error, i did already ODIN to stock and it did not work.. any other suggestions?

Sorry for the mispost but i'm not getting an answer at all and it has been days...maybe someone here can help me.?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
I finally got this to work flawlessly ^_^ I wound up using barebones 2.0 restoring only apps with no data using titanium backup and the smx battery mod overclocked to 1.2ghz with tegrak getting high 1900 quadrant scores got close to 2100 when oced to 1.252 but the phone crashed when I tried to screen shot :-( getting mid 600ms for a cpu benchmark ^_^ I want to thank everyone on the platypus dev team for contributing to this

*EDIT* also I've noticed that my battery temp has been running waaaay lower around 86F rather than the 100F I had been getting and sometimes 110F

Also I'm not getting any of the problems people are having with deleting pictures from the gallery I havnt seen one problem as of yet. But I will keep an eye out guys. *EDIT* yea I am having the delete problem. I tried replacing the gallery.apk with the one from gingerclone and still the photos delete but when you exit the app and go back in they come back have to use files app to delete them permenantly little annoying but not a big deal in my mind

Special thanks goes out to ay0teddy for personally helping with a few of the problems I had been having and for posting the tmobile contacts backup cwm keep up the good work guys!

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
therion: that's not a problem to worry about, that just means that you don't have a secure partition on your SDcard, it's not required, that error just means that it couldn't be found to wipe.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] therion0:
sduvick: how do i fix this?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
Hey Guys, I think this was mentioned before, and I searched back a bit but couldn't find it... was wondering if there was a fix for the stock Android ringtones and notification sounds not showing up when you go to set them? I see them in the ROM, but when I go into any ringtone or notification settings, the tones are not showing up as choices. Sorry if I may have missed this from before...

Edit: I went back far enough and found that this was posted before.... I wiped cache and dalvik, and that fixed it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicardoS_:
I am not restoring from backup, I always just wipe and flash my zips without every utilizing the backup/restore option in clockwork mod, I use titanium backup to reinstall apps after flashing.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Ok you said in the same post that you don't restore from backups that you use titanium backup that is restoring from backups...

If your gonna use titanium backup don't restore system data or app data just the apps themselves with NO DATA it breaks the system that's the problem I had been having with this rom

Sent from my rooted/overclocked/modded Sidek!ck 4G using the XDA app
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] guenwhyever:
Titanium backup restores apps and data by default. Restoring the data from a different ROM is what causes a lot of problems. Try restoring only the app without the data (select App only after) hitting restore.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
I have a request that might seem trivial, but it is appropriate.

Why not change how these roms are being versioned?

To me, this seems like a 0.0.2 release. Full version numbers should be reserved for releases that are well tested and highly functional.

When you get all the basics going, you could move to 0.1.x and so on...

Of course--it's your mod, so it's up to you. I just think it would give your project a more professional look--and provide users a more intuitive way to evaluate the status of the project.

It would also open up the door to experiment in the future with the understanding that the most reliable versions are the full versions.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
This ROM was well tested for over a week before releasing it, and this was a major version change. Only very minor things don't work correctly. If you would look through the posts, we have had minor version changes for each update that wasn't a major change. this build completely recreated this rom from the base up, using KD1 and KG2 together to form a faster and more compliant base.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
You've got to slow down a little then. Things like deleting pictures are a pretty big deal.

And a week is an awful short time to test any beta.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
...a beta for a phone ROM is much different than a beta for an application or software release. If there were to be a beta for, say a month, by the time it was actually released, it would be obsolete.

deleting pictures is not really that big a deal. and that's the only remaining 'major bug'.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] melcali:
@orange

This must be the first time you have dealt with custom roms, huh?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Another thing you could use is a list of known issues.

Just suggestions. Do what you will.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Apparently you havnt read the first second and third posts lol

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Not sure if you checked through the thread or my and sduvicks first 2 posts but there's already a list of known issues and a changelog for each version
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
These guys aren't a company or business. They're just devs that make stuff for the public to use for free. So they can call it Version 9000 or TouchMIUIwiz spec V. I have no complaints as long as it follows a descending order. They can skip from 2 right down to 73. I know they'll have a changelog that's easy to follow what version follows what.

There's nothing wrong with your opinion, orange. I understand where you're coming from, especially with the version numbers. I thought the first decimal was like for bug fixes and the first number is for a revamped look, etc. But at least read thoroughly before you say things, like the known issues thing. If you use these guys' roms and appreciate their work, try to be more tactful and just deal with the hard work they put out for free.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
@sduvick...Please check your PM's when you get a chance. Thanks
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Done, I'll make sure to note that all my releases are WTFPL.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Found it.

From what I see, the first two posts offer me two different builds of the rom and the known issues are buried in the second post..

Fair enough.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I made the heading for the issue log large and red, so hopefully that's more visible. There's a changelog in the 1st OP, anything else that would make this more helpful?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Thanks.

Very soon, you will have the rom to beat. Keeping things user friendly will pave success for you.

wierd crashes

So i updated to this ROM and everytime i use it for more than a few hours it seems to start freaking out and leaving the text screen and heading back to the list of convorsations then wont let me even enter one for like 5 tries and right after i send it and go to my home screen my home screen starts bugging and goes into this lock unlock black and blank homescreen deal and it forces me to have to reboot. I tried reloading the ROM but the same issue pops up. any ideas what could cause this kind of crash?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] miguel11691:
Thank you so much for fixing the sdcard problem... now I'm back on this rom and just love it... runs so smooth especially with GoLauncherEx... I think the only bug that remains is the gallery bug... by any chance are you guys working on a 2.2.3 froyo update where they fixed the messages bug when u press on a name and another name popped up... or even a gingerbread rom
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
Do you have music playlists on your phone? Do they get deleted or show as empty in music players?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Have you ever flashed that Sd Fix ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] miguel11691:
That sdcard fixed the scanning on the phone but after testing the playlist bug... it is still their... I'm using Poweramp and deletes the song from the playlist but leave the name of the playlist there... but I don't use playlists so it doesn't bother me... but that bug is still there
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roy Jovero:
How's auto-rotate play with this ROM?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
There's no sketchy ported lockscreen in this version, so there's no auto rotate issues.

If you were to flash the optional AOSP lockscreen, you would see the same rotation issues others have had, that's why we made it an optional addon.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
there are too many F/C's with this RO , everytime I change wallpaper to a live one notification ringtone changing twlauncher f/c's and more .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Give me specific details on how you're getting FC's, I haven't had any all day. I can't fix the issue if you can't reproduce the issue and tell me how I can.

I have no issues setting a regular to live wallpaper, or the other way around. Haven't had any issues setting the notification ringtone either.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LostSoul119:
neither have i. nothing at all o.o
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
Did you restore data or did you start fresh? Maybe it's something I'm bringing over
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] cjsofliiy:
Can anyone give me a music file because I think I accidentally deleted it and now the music app force closes
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
xmeatizmurderx, yes notification sounds work, I don't have any issues setting mine, Can't find any possible way to FC, I tried really hard. Perhaps it's cause I'm on the Barebones remix. I'll try out the regular version and see if the issue is still there.

I restored data and wiped the dalvik-cache, so it should be the same, but I'll try anyways.

People seem to be having issues with the music app, which isn't a part of the Barebones remix, so if there is a problem I'll bet that's where it is.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
Works fine when I try it vanilla so it has something to do with my data restore, there must be some app I'm bringing over causing interference. I can't vouch for the music player issue since I don't have any music on my sd card currently to test but it does open and stay open.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I'll check out the music player, but just flashed vanilla normal build, and there's no fc's trying to set regular, live wallpaper, either direction, so Rev, you must not have wiped your dalvik-cache, or it's some other app you installed, unless you can give me more direction and details on how you can make it FC.

EDIT: Checked it out, can't find any issues at all with the Music app, nor with setting sounds or wallpapers, either on the barebones remix or on the vanilla build. If you can find the FC on a vanilla install, without restoring data, and can give me details on how to replicate it, I can do something to fix it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
I had that as well. I wanted to wipe data in Titanium Backup for Settings or Android System but couldn't find it (when restoring data in cwm, gmail would force close every time you open it unless you wiped the data for it).

You just have to start fresh. Idk exactly why but restoring data has something incompatible from the previous rom to this rom.

Sduvick, there's nothing wrong flashing with a vanilla start. Force closes are related to restoring data via cwm. At least for selecting sounds, for a fact I know.

Btw, everything is nice with this rom. I really love the color scheme to it. Everything runs well and fast. Great job, you guys.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
Could this problem have anything to do with moving KD1-formatted data to a KG2 ROM? Ignore this if it's been mentioned, but it's a long thread.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Its very possible, as many parts of kd1 are incompatible with kg2. The other possibility is that the changes we made all interlock together, so having some of the changes but not all could also cause some issues. So for those with issues, try wiping and installing vanilla without restoring a backup before reporting a bug
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roy Jovero:
Downloading now. Question, though. If I were to flash the puzzle piece lockscreen, would I mess up the ROM's theme also?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Yes, but I'll port it tomorrow for you, and I'm uploading the aosp lockscreen now. Remember that these lockscreens cause issues with auto rotation .

Edit: AOSP lockscreen Added to the OP, Along with a revert zip. Flash in CWM
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Hey I spoke to someone else who was restoring data then began getiing fc's. It worked fine before he restored data, what his problem was is he didn't wipe his data before restoring. I'm pretty sure if you wipe your data first then restore data you won't get any fc's. Did you guys wipe data before restoring the backup ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
im sure they can restore data it may be that they arent wiping before restoring data. if they wipe the data first then restore data, apps shouldnt give them any fc's at all
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Hey awesome rom once again teddy but my swipe stopped working completely idk why I've tried turning it off and on and still nothin :-/
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Thats odd, try going to Settings>applications>manage applications>Running and select swype. Then click force stop at the top of that screen, then clear data a bit under that. See if it works then
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
Yeah. Media scan at boot works fine after flashing it. But the playlist problem was still there.

Thanks for checking. I just use one playlist, which is all music sorted out by path and filename. Poweramp does have the option to save a playlist just like that using the Folder playlist alternative. But if I did want to make smaller playlists it would be good to know it wouldn't get deleted.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jcsww:
I've been using chopped down version of this ROM for about half a day now. Personally, I just can't stand the look. It would of been nice if there was a stock them left in it. Going to have to flash to something else.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Okay, Thanks for trying the ROM out. If you ever decide flash the ROM again (for any reason) you could always throw a theme on it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicardoS_:
I meant that I am not using the backup/restore option in clockwork mod. I reflashed the rom and before even installing titanium backup sync'd my gmail account with the phone and found same infinite syncing issue. I do have my wifes gmail calendar linked to my account and have removed duplicate contact info from my gmail. She has a great deal if information to sync but.......Normally doesn't happen with other roms, this happens with any rom besides stock rom?

Sorry guys i'm working out all little bugs and adding new tweaks and features from my gingerclone v2 ROM.. this ROM isnt abandoned. A nice update should come soon (after hurricane irene)

But a few pages back someone mentioned the puzzle lockscreen link sduvick upped changed thier framework to transgreyfrozen, i didnt look into it before putting the link in the OP, til today when i got a PM from someone mentioning this. Sorry about that, that was a mistake on our behalf and i am reupping the link for the puzzle lockscreen it'll also include the TouchMIUIwiz framework so anyone whos theme changed it'll revert it back to the original ROMs theme with the puzzle lockscreen.

Edit: Here's the link TouchMIUI_PuzzleLock.zip

Edit2: OP Link for the puzzle lockscreen also updated.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
you'll need to pull the cloudtexting apk from a stock ROM.. and you can download the group texting app from the market as tyler mentioned.

Hey ayoteddy i was reading through the thread and i seen you said you were going to upload the 4g icon for this rom do you mind letting me know where i can find the link

By the way thanks much ayoteddy and sduvick
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
The puzzle and aosp lockscreens are themed with the old TMW theme that has a more transparent notification area. Can you update it to be themed as the current TMW_v3.0? Or are the lockscreen zips in your GC_v2.0 thread themed for TMW or GC?

Btw, the "Sync now" icon in an account screen is a blank rectangle. I believe that was a problem on a previous rom of yours.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] whoisloon:
Quick question,

I downloaded the newest update but when I choose the launchers, there's only launcherpro and touchwiz isn't there. Can someone verify if I'm the only one or not. Thanks!

Touchwiz wasn't included.

So can I update from 2.0 to 3.0 without data wiping?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
No, 2.0 and 3.0 are entirely different bases, the zip will wipe for you if you don't wipe yourself.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
I flashed this for a change of pace, and did a nandroid data restore(from Gingerclone v2), and no problems here, smooth as butter! nice work guys, and thanks.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Terra27:
But if I do a data backup, I can restore my data and have to the build, right?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
It's possible that you will have the same issues that some had when trying to restore data from KD1 to a KG2 rom. You can try it, make your backup, and when you restore data, wipe cache and dalvik cache, that's your best bet.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Gplayjay:

Just a quick note - V3.0 seems to have fixed my force close issue when accessing a POP3 email account. My guess is the mixed modem was causing an issue. Between this and ginger clone you guys do some nice work.

Now I'm just waiting for that breakthrough that gets us Gingerbread on the Sidekick.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
That "breakthrough" would either be some crazy epic dev getting our phone, or samsung releasing the source.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Gplayjay:
Sduvick was touchmiuiwiz v3.0 supposed to fix the force close issue
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
What force close issue?

If you're referring to the E-mail Force close issue, then yes, but that's because it was "fixed" (using this term lightly, as it created further issues with notifications) in GCv2.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Gplayjay:
Yes thats what i was reffering too i dont always get it but i do get it either every other email or every other two emails i check and i had just reinstalled the rom because the other thing i had asked u about a couple replies up but also im using the stock sk4g email app could that be the issue
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
that should have been fixed, but I don't have a pop account to test it with. The other people who had mentioned the issue before had reported that it was fixed now, but I'm not sure.
