[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Gplayjay:
Ok so i tried the email app that comes with your rom and it works perfect is there anyway u can post the original sk4g touchwizzemail app i think i have a bad copy n thats why it force closes
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Gplayjay:
Does anybody know how to fix the image in the email application to reply to an email so its no longer a box when u press the menu button can u give me a run through on how to fix it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
It's on teddy's to-do list, but requires decompiling and recompiling the apk to replace the references to the correct images, so it's probably nothing that you want to do yourself.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
I love this rom. Best one out there. Look forward to updates.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Gplayjay:
Oh alright sduvick i just get bored sometimes and like messing with things trying to.correct them thanx though
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] oniddy:

Gingerclone v2 Trouble

i am having trouble with the gingerclone v2 like on this rom the gallery works fine and everything im runnning touch miui 3. something the one u made ok well anyways idky but on gingerclone v2 the gallery doesnt focus on the images cause when my friends would send me pics frm their sidekick i will get them all blurrry i wonder why i love gingerclone v2 but the gallery thing is a fall back frm switching to it and by the way how do i put the main dial pad back on not this one..
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
From the OP for GCv2.

The dial pad should be the same.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] btr:
Anybody else having trouble sending MMS? The attachments just say sending.

Thanks, the rom is great! Love it!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Rock3rboy13:
The problems I.have is with pics and the andriod system fc
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
I Havent ran into a fc yet, have you restored a backup ?

and can you explain the pics problem ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
This is how the aosp lockscreen looks
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Also I've been playing with the ext4 partitions and figured out a nice mod that puts these partitions into full effect. The ROM is already very fast and stable but it will be much better in the coming update along with the small bug fixes. Stay posted

If your running this ROM on ext4, the next update will make the ROM smoother, apps load and open even quicker, it will load twice as fast on boot and be ready for use and you'll get scores like these ;)

1517 - 1518 - 1527
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Rock3rboy, that issue has been shown to be an issue with restoring a backup in Nandroid. Try wiping your Dalvik-cache in the Advanced menu in CWM.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
that may work, but for tyler he said it didnt. apps still fc'd . but after he wiped his data then restored his backup for /data all was fine. I may have to mention that in the OP
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roy Jovero:
So to be successful in running this ROM with restored data, one should do the following?

-Create nandroid backup

-Full wipe

-Wipe dalvik

-Check mounts

-Flash

-Checks mounts again

-Wipe dalvik again

-Advanced restore data

Doesn't seem too difficult if it'll help reduce FCs
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Kinda the opposite actually.

-Full backup

-Check mounts

-Flash

-Check Mounts

-Reboot

-Restore Backup of data

-Wipe Dalvik-Cache

-Reboot

However, even wiping the Dalvik-cache hasn't fixed some restoration issues for some people
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Try wiping data again after reboot, so it'd be like this

-Full backup

-Wipe

-Check mounts

-Flash

-Check Mounts

-Reboot

-Wipe data only

-Restore Backup of data

-Wipe Dalvik-Cache

-Reboot

- then let us know if you have any fc problems. Which you most likey wont and shouldnt
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i can tell you that this works you have to wipe the data before restoring not just the dalvik! it will work. i haven't gotten oen FC all day. Also i flashed from a stock rom with a stock kernel i don't know if this could affect anything because with revolution that's what i had to do! also I'm very excited for that update will it be released soon or is that far away?

Today i will be doing a battery check on this rom to see how long the battery will last to see if it improves from stock!

EDIT: the update is coming out today so battery testing wont be accurate when running half the day on this version and half the day on the update so expect one tomorrow
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Thanks very much for confirming

&nd the update is really soon, today most likely.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Rock3rboy13:
No I cant restore backups that I have no more they only get me stuck in the sidekick logo and the pic problem is that if I try to.view any pic it wont let me
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
you need someone to test that update or you just gonna release it?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
did you try to reflash make sure you wipe that dalvik before and after you flash!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
If it's getting stuck at the sidekick logo you're not checking your mounts before and after flashing.

Update isn't gonna be much, just fixes for the small bugs that have been found so far and a few small tweaks.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
How do you run on ext4?

I did this exactly except for steps 6 and 7 (reboot and wipe data only). I got force closes on seelcting ringtones via android system (since I have gosms pro, it asks if I wanna use that also or music player). But when I went from the stock deodexed kg2 rom to lightning rom v2, I flashed the way I explained earlier and had no problems.

Force closes happened when flashing to this toucmiuiwiz rom from lightning v2. Maybe it needs to settle via reboot before advance restoring data because of a different modem? Idk, but I restored via titanium pro from a vanilla flash so I have no problems whatsoever.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
well we have 1500 benchmarks in the update must be some exciting tweaks because right now we get around 1263 after 3 test. so defintely will be quicker
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
it should be running go into voodo control go to the bottom and it should say status: ext4 lagfix active
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i just flashed the AOSP lockscreen its not that buggy and i don't use auto-rotate anyways

Thank Sduvick
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Rock3rboy13:
Yea it still doesnt go away its only when I try to change the notification sound or ringtone where it fc
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i would say just wait for the update thats coming later today and see if that fixes things
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Wipe everything and reflash, don't restore anything, and see if the issue is still there. Make sure to check mounts before and after flashing.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
Btw, ayoteddy can you provide the blue honeycomb (or whatever it is) circular battery icon you had on SMX? I like to have a numerical value for my battery indicator. And just in case, can you also provide the stock icon you have for this rom? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
No problem will upload when I get on the pc
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
OMGolly, this is GREAT.

We shall see if it is stable, but it is freakin' BEAUTIFUL.

I LOVE the font choice, as I can see more this way!

Good Job! VERY Smooth!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
When the update comes see if it fixes your problem, I'm not sure what's causes fc cause they work here. Are you one of the people who restored a backup ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Thanks and enjoy, if you have any questions or a request feel free to ask and we'll see what we can do
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
Still? Here's how I did it:

1. Boot into recovery.

2. Check mounts.

3. Wipe data and cache.

4. Check mounts.

5. Flash touchMIUIwiz rom.

6. Check mounts.

7. Wipe dalvik.

8. Check mounts.

9. Reboot.

I check mounts to make sure I don't brick. I didn't advance restore via cwm. I restored just my apps in titanium, no user info or settings. When I restored via cwm from lightning rom using the lightning backup, I would always get fc when selecting a sound. So just start fresh, no data restore via cwm, and you should be fine.

It'll be a hassle restoring everything this way, but it will get rid of the fc problem you have. If it doesn't work then I have no idea why. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
He can do a data restore and you aswell did you do it like this ?

1. Boot into recovery.

2. Check mounts.

3. Wipe data and cache.

4. Check mounts.

5. Flash touchMIUIwiz rom..

6. Wipe dalvik.

9. Check mounts.

10. Reboot.

11: Reboot into CWM

12: Wipe data

13. Restore Data

14. Wipe dalvik

15. Reboot

Everything should be fine in that order
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
I did it like that except I didn't wipe dalvik the first time after flashing the rom and I didn't reboot out and back into recovery. I did everything in one cwm session and still had force closes. So I ended up not restoring data via recovery. In titanium I only restored apps, no user settings or data, after a fresh vanilla install and had no problems.

The way you laid out seems like it should work, as you are including extra steps to ensure no trace of cache or whatever is left behind from the data restore of another rom.

Btw, has anyone figured out how to extend the keyboard's backlight time? Sorry if I'm thread-jacking.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I fixed the dialer issue, it'll be added into the update, just removed the blue overlay buttons. Ayoteddy also fixed the alarm icon (that I'm almost sure noone even saw besides me), which will also be added to the update.

So now that we're essentially done with the standard stable release, who has ideas for different versions/themes/remixes/any other requests for this rom?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Trev420:
hey, rom looks awesome on paper. about to download and install to my girlfriends sidekick.

ill let u know her impressions. thanks for the hardwork.

edit: just noticed the hopsin in one of the screen shots.

sick sick sick
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Rock3rboy13:
Yez I keep restoring data
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Rock3rboy13:
Will the new update fox the picture pronlem too
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
all the issues you have are from restoring data! you have to wipe the data before a restore!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
I believe ill try this as soon as my sidekick gets here in a couple days.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
welcome to the sk4g! this is definitely the rom you wanna use!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roy Jovero:
I'd like to see a version with the regular puzzle lockscreen. :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
there is a puzzle lockscreen but buggy!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1203979
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
That will change his entire theme i can port that lockscreen when we upload the update
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
oh okay! i using the ported AOSP lockscreen and its very nice i love it.

when will we be seeing the update? im excited for 1500 benchmarks!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
In just a few I'll be getting to my PC in a sec lol I'm rushing home
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Rock3rboy13:
Tatz wat I do I wipe data nd delvik thwn advance restore then wipe delvik again
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
what is in the update that makes it get 1500 benchmark?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
A mod that enables barriers on all ext4 partitions, so it'll only with voodoo which most people on the ROM would have

when we release you'll get to see for yourself
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
thanks PDT you guys just made an amazing rom better! cant wait to flash the update.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dad-gum:
AOSP-ish Notification Toggles? Cool dialer?

Where can I find how to enable those toggles? Perhaps they would have been there by default if I had not restored?

Also, I can't find the dialer. Am I being blind? What's its name in the apps?

I'm using Zeam launcher, but the dialer didn't have a button on the dock in TWLauncher, either.

Thanks for the slick and excellent work!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
the dialer is called phone.

and those would be there by default but dont worry yet because you need the update for it to work
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
Alright! I have been ALMOST issue free.

Every time I get a work e-mail via Exchange (sync?) I receive the header info.

When I try to open the e-mail for further info it fails and Force Closes every time.

I can then reopen the e-mail app manually and it pulls fine.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Tyler0309:
ant news on when the update will be available?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i was told soon an hour ago or so! so sometime soon. cant wait for it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Tyler0309:
yea man me either im looking forward to the 1500 benchmark that a big improvement
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dad-gum:
Pretty cryptic name, that. "Phone" - who would have thought?

Odd, then, that I don't see it on mine. Well, I'll keep an eye out for that update.

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
You're just going to have to go on with your life without doing an advanced restore. Restore your last backup via cwm, get titanium backup from the Market, backup all your user apps, then flash the rom WITHOUT advanced data restore. Once that settles in then download titanium backup and restore your apps.

This is your best route if you still get force closes with a data restore. Sorry. It's a small price to pay if you want to enjoy this rom.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Sorry about the delay guys, just doing some last minute testing, I think I'm ready to go, just waiting for ayo to respond, I'll start uploading my v1.1 in the meantime ;]
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
You guys need to quit thinking benchmarks are everything seriously, they have already proven to be flawed. Not to mention this rom scores about 1120-1150 and is twice as fast as roms I was scoring 1300+ with. For all you know the update could just contain a mod to make that app read a higher benchmark so wait and test and judge it then, don't base **** off of a score on a ****ing app
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Oh no he discovered our secret plan! :] thanks for pointing that out, benchmark apps kinda bug me, they never show real life accurate results, nor are consistent.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
woah there! i for one think benchmarks are based off the rom not just junk! well it is all opinion and we will see when the update is released!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Tyler0309:
dang he snapped lol there was no reason to get all mad about it haha i thought benchmark was a important thing my bad
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i think its somewhat accurate antutu is much more accurate!

some people think they mean nothing but some do!

stock i get 900 and this i get 1200 so obviously it increased with increased speed so it cant be all false.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
Accuracy isn't the main point of concern. It's consistency.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
okay so 1500 benchmark or not this rom is still amazing and fast!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
I didn't snap, I always point out bull**** when I see it. If you guys knew how to use a search engine you would see how stupid you sound when you think these apps make a difference, it's typical american "my **** is bigger than yours" syndrome. You wanna compete over everything it's not ****ing football.

Sduvick- still not able to restore data even after trying your method of flash, wipe, restore, dalvik and I came from a kg2 rom that had stuff restored from a kd1 rom. I have an idea I will try but hopefully the update just fixes it lol
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
Yes, I concur. If the themed apps include GMail and Talk then I love the theme. Mixing the Sidekick with blue tints and stuff is genius.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Yeah, that's possible, that's a side effect of how much is changed in this rom vs a stock rom. If it still has issues, I would suggest getting Titanium Backup and restoring with that, cause that's really good for restoring, and doesn't cause the issues.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
The OP and 2nd post have been updated with v1.1 links, go get 'em!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
already flashed reinstalling backed up data now!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LostSoul119:
Bingo.

Don't judge this rom off a score from an app, get your hands dirty with it first. if you flash every rom and base them off a score from an app, your a fool. this isn't some tool to let you know whats the 'best' rom. There isn't a 'best rom' only a rom that's best for you. duh. Try it out for a few days and then compare it to other roms you've tried. unless you cant tell the difference, which you probably wont be able too if you just flash the rom and then use the app and make your judgment then and there and go back to a rom that you get the highest score with -.-
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
In the future we will try to make updates non-wipes
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
re-install data worked fine and all the apps people had problems with adter data restore i dont have a problem they all work fine!

EVERYONE BEFORE RESTORING DATA WIPE THE DATA AND DALVIK CACHE
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Dialer fixed thanks to Sduvick
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
If anyone has any ideas of different versions of this rom, themes or otherwise, feel free to post them, and we'll see what we can do about making them into reality
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
all the bugs were fixed in the updated version except i still cant delete the images from gallery until after a reboot.

otherwise the rom is still very smooth!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ms0chez:
Hey I lost the default wallpaper. Could I get the url for it? Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Hmm, I'm not seeing the image deleting issue here? Anyone else seeing this problem on v1.1?

ms0chez: http://i52.tinypic.com/rapajb.png
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i did a nandroid restore but thats the only bug that came back all the others are gone!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
My images were always deleting fine from gallery
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Mine were as well, can anyone else confirm or deny that this is an issue?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
i have a little request if you might be willing and able to do it: make the volume rocker like in CM7, where you can choose vibrate only, OR completely silent. i find it cumbersome to have to go into settings/sound and change your vibrate setting... if you know what i mean. (apologies to ayoteddy, who tried to suggest a workaround for this some time ago)

btw, i flashed the update and have opted to try restoring data and apps with Mybackup Pro rather than with CWM or Titanium. i've had success with it in the past and will let everyone know how it works here.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I'll take a look and see what it would take to add that, I've been wanting it but just threw in power control plus and ignored it haha :], I'll see what I can do.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
haha, that's cool. power control plus for now, and see what you can do :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
could we ever see this rom with the scarlet leftovers theme or a similar theme?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
so i restored all my stuff with Mybackup Pro and haven't had a single force close or issue... loving this ROM so far, thanks for the excellent work guys!

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
Hey ayoteddy, got time to port the blue round honeycomb battery icon and the current one just in case I wanna revert back to this stock one?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] cjsofliiy:
no music app ?

theres no media player on the barebones remix edition?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
Here is the music apk!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Nope, barebones is as the name suggests, the barebones you need to run the system. I've been meaning to make a list of everything I pulled out, but forgot about it. I pulled out the music app so you can pick which one you want, I use the Google Music app from market.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roy Jovero:
Are you going to release a version with the puzzle lock? I know that it'll break auto-rotation, but I just can't get past the convenience of it.

Also, I know this is way off-topic, but is it possible to make a Metamorph skin for Handcent to emulate the looks of stock messaging?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Rock3rboy13:
yea Is there a way I want to know
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I'll make a version of puzzle lock framework with our theming in the morning, I'm not feeling rather motivated right now, and have Ayoteddy add it to the addons section.

I believe that handcent functions based on themes rather than metamorph, so I'm betting there's a way, I just don't know it offhand, some googling might help you out
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dad-gum:
Re: AOSP-ish Notification Toggles? Cool dialer?

Is there a way to enable that in the updated version of the ROM? I'm not seeing it.

Also, I seem to have somehow hidden the "Phone" app. I generally use the TouchPal dialer, so I'd never noticed.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I believe the AOSPish notification bar that's referred to in the OP is the rounded corners and white style of the notification bar.

And the dialer should already be there.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dad-gum:
Oh. Thanks to one of the screenshots, I thought the AOSPish notification bar meant the set of toggles in the notification area.

I guess there's something in my backed-up and restored config that's somehow hiding the dialer. I'm fine, I guess, with my TouchPal for the mean time. I'm not quite up to redoing everything at the moment.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] The Pope of Dope:
Not gonna lie. I really want the stock dialer back. Could I get that please?

Like, this rom, but the stock dialer?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Click the gray arrow on the top right of the notification area to switch to the toggles from status updater
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
yes i can upload the stock dialer from the sidekick now, just push to system/app with abd or a file manager with root support. (super manager, root explorer ect)

Edit: attached below
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
whipping it up for you now

Edit: All done, uploading now

Edit2: Uploaded, Check the OP in addons section. to get the Stock battery from this ROM back just flash the stock TouchMIUIwiz framework. They are both flashable in CWM
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
My preference would be the dialer (phone.apk) that cyanogen uses.

I guess that is a Vanilla phone.apk? I cannot stand the contacts opening a separate deal so you have to hit back, it is WAY more efficient when I can hit contacts, log, and phone on the same screen... less bloat. I don't know if this is a separate deal I can drop in...

If someone has a package (phone.apk?) that will work, let me know. It's probably just me...

The phone.apk on this is real purrty though.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
The dialer used in cyanogen may or may not work, it would require some testing and most likely some porting on our part, because we have a Touchwiz based framework, and cyanogen is an AOSP based rom. I'll see what I can do.

EDIT: after looking at your request, I'm guessing that you're looking for a themed AOSP rom, rather than a dropped in phone.apk, I'll still take a look but I'd be suprised if the contacts part would just drop in.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Ok guys, here's the Puzzle Lock flashable, as always, it breaks rotation, but for those who either don't use auto-rotate, or just don't care, here you go. When ayoteddy comes back around he can add it to the OP in the addons section.
