[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
This here is a fast, slim, and VERY stable Froyo 2.2.1 ROM Based on the KD1 firmware for the Sidekick 4G. This was built with the idea of making the Samsung software functional with as little Touchwiz as possible, knowing how much samsungs overlay on android can bog the phone down and this ROM is proof of it. I've taken a lot out and themed what was left.

With that being said, most touchwiz/Samsung specific crap is removed. This is an AOSP clone so there is extremely minimal bloat and any unnecessary apps you don't expect to find in an aosp ROM most likely isn't in here.

GingerClone v2 [AospMod] Update2.zip (123.95 MB) ! (8.25.11)

If coming from the initial release download or Update1 Flash the NO WIPE Update2 !
