I have flashed all of the ROMs, this one is not flawless, the random reboots and the screen bugging out will get ya everytime, the least buggy ROM would by far be GenericGinger, I have been using it for nearly 2 weeks! That's a record for me, really. This ROM makes number 2 on my list though easily. Untill 360 productions releases their ROM we got to deal with this damn development drought.

Sent from the phone everyone has forgotten about!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
Generic ginger is decent I've been using it also, I've done some intense cleaning to it though. I continue to remove things I don't need, and I havnt had a forceclose or freeze in a long time. It is basically teddys rom tho, and some of the modifications are pretty whack like the inability to remove the social toolbar
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] thanosart:
I realize there are bug with roms, to what extent is the key. I'm gonna let this one settle a few days and see how she likes glorious. The sidekick won't be in my hands very often so I'm definately open to suggestions. Generic ginger sounds like a winner. Thanks AfAinHd and Hewett

the link is still dead

i cant download this rom

even tho i want to
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
Did you do the v6 supercharge script? Cause my glorious overdose hasn't done ANY of this other than the gallery freezing. And even then, that only happened the first couple of days and hasn't since (its been 2 weeks).

I also just LOVE the blueness of it, don't like the android green

i download it before yesterday with no problem so i dont whats the issue its a great rom typical issues like the stock rom freezes and sometime the touch screen dont work and it restart the laucher but other than that its ..... OK lol good job guys
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Mulivalea:
hey guys! not sure whats up but i tried the downloads in the first post and in the post where download was in big letters... but the link takes me to multiupload, then after searching for about a minute or two, internet explorer says it cant display the web page. tried it through google chrome and still cant get it... anyone know whats up?

ok... just looked on the net and came to find multiupload/megaupload.com was shut down due to being a "international organized criminal enterprise." LOL! Stupid censoring laws. ANYWAYS... Can the great Platypus Dev Team put the file up on another site? Please and thanks guys! You never cease to amaze with your work!

P.S.- Anyway Samsung can hire yall to do the software side for the sidekick? Just a thought...

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] BulletProof2088:
Thank you for re-upping. I'm thinking about flashing my SK4G with this ROM, however I'm quite new and I want to be sure I'm doing this all right. after I root and get into CWM Recovery, I delete caches etc and then what do I use to flash the rom? Rom Manager + ROM in root? I'm taking in a lot of info really quickly and I'm still trying to put all the pieces together.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sp0rkticus:
Once you get to the CWM:

- you wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache

- go to the advance section wipe dalvik cahce

- go to the mounts and storage and verify that the mounts and unmounts are set accordingly

- go to install zip from SD card

- choose zip from SD card

you pick the ROM that you wish to flash and wait...

once its done:

- wipe cache

- go again to the mounts and reverify that all the mounts are set accordingly

- reboot

- cross fingers
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] BulletProof2088:
Edit: I have the KG2 kernal on my device at the moment. What happens if I flash this ROM with that firmware? Does this completely replace the kernal or overwrite or how does the stock firmware play a role in flashing this ROM?

And what happens if the "Cross Fingers" method fails? just odin and try again? :P Sorry for sounding like a noob. haha
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sp0rkticus:
pretty much yeah, just make sure your CWM is the 3.0.2.8 not the one ROM Manager installs (which is 4.0.0....) the latest one seems to be glitching for this. You can get the working CWM at http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/update.zip

Good Luck

EDIT: I think it will update ur kernel to KJ2, never been sure how it affects performance on your device. If there are any issues u can always re-Stock with ODIN or with Heimdall. Both methods work well, only difference is that Heimdall goes deeper in the restore
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] BulletProof2088:
Many thanks, good sir. :) I will organize my thoughts and slowly work through the process, as this is my first time flashing this phone solo. :D I spent 2 days recovering fro ma soft-brick after my buddy failed to check mounts D:

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sp0rkticus:
Well to be perfectly honest I spent the entire day yesterday flashing my phone, I got it wrong about a thousand times. In each one I restored with Odin and/or Heimdall. And it was my first time flashing the sidekick, and every android phone has their peculiarities. Some are impossible to work with, others work just like they describe it. In the end I found out that the mistake was getting the latest CWM.

Now I'm getting some issues, still need to look around and stomp the small bugs.

So far my issues are:

- after booted and installed a couple of apps, I rebooted. When it rebooted it went through setup again and the installed apps got nuked for some reason.

- on every reboot the phone vibrates just like something isn't working.

once I find the fixes I'll let you know.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] BulletProof2088:
Well I tried asking my online buddy but his internet is ... lets just say "bad".

I looked into my SD card to place the update.zip but my friend has already placed that in there from last time when we soft-bricked. I'm guessing I should go into recovery mode and just wipe data/cache/etc?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sp0rkticus:
Well, if your CWM is the correct one (3.0.2.8), go ahead. If anything goes wrong, ODIN.

good luck... and live long and prosper.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] BulletProof2088:
Great. I have 4.0.0.2.

How do I flash over this? -_____-
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sp0rkticus:
Ok:

- go to the link I gave you

- download that update

- Format the SD card

- place the update.zip and the ROM in the SD card

- go to the recovery

- hit apply sdcard: update.zip

- then you should be in the CWM 3.0.2.8

- ???? (proceed with the rest of the process)

- Profit?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sp0rkticus:
Just curious if you got you Sidekick running, and if anything I mentioned helped at all. Oh btw, the previous issue (rebooting into setup) got resolved, all the apps remain installed. Seemed like it was just a first-time-booting-with-new-ROM situation. Only issue now is getting that weird vibration during boot.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Mulivalea:
thanks for the reup xtreme88. tried b2tb while i was waiting for the reup. b2tb is nice,light fast and has held up for about 3 days now with no reboots. gonna try the glorious overdose when i get tired of b2tb.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] BulletProof2088:
Hey guys, just an update from all my previous issues..

And a review!

So far, I think Glorious Overdose is the best thing that's ever happened to my phone! Its faster then my friends Droid X, and its not even overclocked. Everything is smooth and I've only had one Force Close, and that was testing its workload with the game, "Blood and Glory". I was OC'd to 1.2GHz.

2 issues I've noticed.

1) I'm not sure if its conflicting with the ROM but I'm using Tegrak Overclock, and occassionally after maybe an hour of use, (it seemed to only happen in the Market) my phone would crash, needing a battery pull. No information is lost, and I don't have to set anything up.

2) minor issue :p when you're playiing a video and it fails to load, it'll say something like "This video faild to load" I forget EXACTLY where the typo is, but there is one.

Other then those small issues, this thing is a pearl!

5/5. :) thanks ayoteddy and sduvick for a great ROM!

By any chance do you get the vibrating issue I mentioned? The one that when the phone is booting it vibrates once and then 3 times? and then it finishes booting?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SgtMac02:
Yea, I never did see the issue resolved on Skype. The Yahoo Messenger app seemed to work, and also Tango seemed to work fine. Give those a try.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
so i didn't want to start a new thread, but i will if nobody here can answer me.

is it possible to purchase launcher pro plus on this ROM and then use one of the ICS themes for pro plus? cause i tried to use a regular ICS on the launcher pro that is already on the phone with the GO ROM, and it force closes Launcher Pro every time. i mean every. time.

so would buying the Plus version allow me to use one? i would use Revo's ICS clone, but the download link is dead and i just love GO. any help would be greatly appreciated and would get their thanks from me!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
I have the rom on my post n it should be possible
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
thank you, you inspired me to at least try it and it did work once i cleared the defaults for launcher pro lol thanks given!

Great ROM, best I've used on this device.

Excited to see your next ROM ayoteddy & sduvick!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sp0rkticus:
Thank you sduvick,

Sorry if I sounded like I was whining or complaining (reading my post again and it looked like I was complaining a lot).Well at least, let me give ya little back story on the phone.

It belongs to a friend of mine, she used to complain how slow and glitchy the phone was. So I lent her my vibrant while I played around with hers finding the best ROM for it (and so far this one IS the best ROM so far). It had the latest updated STOCK ROM, which was my starting point when flashing this ROM. When I first flashed it did the annoying vibrate once then 3 times quickly, which is the same pattern as some app crashing. I started installing some apps in it and it was working fine for a while. But since I'm really not using it with any network at the moment and I'm just using it with WiFi, I turn it off. I wanted to use it, but I have an iPhone 4, meaning micro SIM, so no luck there.

Well, once I turned on the phone again:

- I kept getting the annoying vibrations

- If I had facebook installed when booting I would get a com.facebook.katana issue and would have to force close

- On some random booting I kept getting the whole setup system and then the apps I installed didn't work anymore.

So I got tired of it and restored the phone to complete STOCK KD1. From here I re-flashed Glorious Overdose V2, got one vibration on boot and seemed more stable this time. Once it became stable I gave to back to my friend and she is in LOVE with the new ROM.

So any actual issues at the moment would be:

- screen orientation sometimes doesn't return to vertical.

- some apps tend to crash and having to force close them

But beyond that like I mentioned before, its quite stable, IF flashed from stock KD1.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jurai:
no LED status notification from GMail
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
That's not a bug, that functionality wasn't ever there (Gmail LED).

The only way to get LED notifications from your e-mail is to use the E-mail app.

As for the FC's and reorientation problems, if she is using the aosp or puzzle locks, this is a known issue, the easiest fix is to go into settings>display>lockscreen and change to stock, relock, unlock, then change the lock back.

I do realize that is a lot to do for this, but I was unable to find a fix for this issue, it has to do with how the sk4g lock functions compared to the stock locks
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
You can use Light Flow app to make LEDs work for GMail, GTalk, GVoice, etc.

My phone just totally died (sdcard corrupt, on boot it asks for initial setup of google account again). I tried "The Grid" first, but it was crashing all the time. GOv2 is still the most stable and responsive ROM we got (even with it's occasional reboots, crashes, and lockups). I hope someday we get ICS with a truly stable ROM. There is still not another slider phone on the market I'd rather have... just wish this one worked as reliable as my old G1.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] madrrio:
mine never locks up or crashes n e more... rather not sure if it ever did. after going to town with titanium, and riding of everything pretty much, its been faster than ever. im running adw now instead of launcher pro just to change things up but its still super stable. i also used the v6 super charger script to make the launcher unkillable.

the only complain i have on the phone is the digitizer is going out, and sometimes itll pull up the wrong sms convo... niether of these have to do with the rom....

this rom is basically perfect aside from some font color/background colors but i can live with that no problem.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sp0rkticus:
Thanx, but she is using the stock lock. I think the orientation issue could be some associated with some apps crashing and needing forceclose. So far, she's kept the phone the same as I left it, she hasn't changed anything, all remains just as after flashing. Given that, she's still quite happy with it. If there are any other issues with the ROM I'll let you know.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jurai:
for seriously? they never enabled gmail notifications? is whoever made the sidekick 4g some kinda dumb dumb?

I get freezes randomly all the time from the browser
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
The issue is that the G-mail app only allows for a green led notification, and the SK4G only has a blue, red, and purple led to notify with. so any other color gets disregarded.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ShatBag1105:
so far so COOL

THANKS as always. The voice during initial boot up freaked me out! That was a cool addition. Ive never seen that on any other rom before,awesome originality bro.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Kediil:
Would definitely be nice if one of the devs is on. I'm in a place that doesn't allow multiupload and I'm sick to death of this Nocturnal ROM. If there's any way the file could be set up as an attachment to the first post, or possibly emailed, I'd sure appreciate it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
if u look the last 5 pages i posted the rom
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
I use ADW too, and it is fairly stable. It reboots or crashes sometimes when using Google Navigation mostly (so did the stock ROM that came on the phone). It also seems to slowdown and sometimes reboot or crash if the battery has less then 7% (likely a hardware issue with my phone, but it didn't used to do that until recently, even with this ROM). ...then there is a week ago when it killed my SDCARD and reset to factory defaults on its own (I've heard others complain of the same thing on other ROMs).

All in all GOv2 is the best we got, but it is far from perfect in my experience.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
I reflashed this and I keep getting that my decive is not compatable with any apps in the market. Is there a way to fix this or should I just reflash the rom again?

Never mind, I reflashed it and the problem went away. :)

These should do you
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] BulletProof2088:
Hey guys! I'm finally back and active again :)

Sduvick, I get the force close pattern on boot every now and then. It seems like its the soft reboot that causes it. As far as I know, a hard reboot won't. Also, on occasion the app "Blood n' Glory" force closes with an error even though I've never run it?

Also, sometimes upon tapping a contact to text or call, it would shift up or down a contact, and it usually corrects itself after the 2nd or third time. The ROM is still working just fine though. :)

Just downloaded and installed rom.... But when i reboot my phone is stuck on samsung screen. any help ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
Did you check your mounts before flashing? Help if you wrote down the process in which you went about flashing the rom.

example below

(X10 MINIPRO)

-reboot into recovery from cm9 v1

-wipe data factory reset

-clear dalvik cache

-restore back to cm7 NAA

-wipe data factory reset

-clear dalvik

-install cm9v2

-install gapps XXXXX

-install wifi fix

For the sidekick you need to check your mounts before flashing so I recomend

-reboot into recovery with button combo (vol up, vol down, camera, menu PLUS power "when screen comes on release the power button but hold the others")

-whipe data factory reset

-clear dalvik cache (in advanced section of the recovery)

-check your mounts make sure its as below

UNMOUNT CACHE

MOUNT DATA

MOUNT SDCARD

UNMOUNT SYSTEM - this is the ONLY mount you pay mind to, not Sdcard or anything else

-Flash the rom

If you hear android voice saying something about data partition don't freak let the phone sit for a while until it reboots an it will reboot might just take a while cause the phone is re-partitioning

Hope this helps

GPS Problem

Hey Guys The GPS is not working, I installed this and it says waiting for location and never shows up but when I go to stock It works flawlessly with no problem, I copied the modem from the stock to the glorious rom but it doesn't work, I think It has something to do with tweaks that messed up the radio of the GPS.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
That's strange, mine works just fine.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roundtableprez:
So does mine...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tichs:
I have cleared cache and dalvik and found the real issue, there is an app That replaced a process I think Network location apk which is causing the GPS to not lock up, in stock as soon as you hit locate it shows up and never says waiting, I think I found the issue, well I just fixed it and it's working fine
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dsule8:
Hey guys. Using GOv2 here and was in class one day, all of a sudden my phone freeze and when i went to reboot all my apps crash. i reboot multiple times but the apps still force close after i reboot. Any suggestions ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
Flash the rom again
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ColinGray:
I withdraw my question, lol.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
So what did you do to "fix" the issue? My GPS works fine, but sometimes it take like 3-min to lock. If I run the free GPS Status app from market when it is having trouble, it usually connects within 5-20sec of launching the app. If you have a fix though, I would love to not have to run that app just to get my GPS working (or wait 3-5min).

My daughter got a Tmo Sidekick 4G to replace her malfunctioning MyTouch 4G and was happy for about 10 days. Then she started having the usual troubles. She couldn't get any satisfaction from Tmo and isn't quite ready for an upgrade. She was feeling pretty desperate and so I offered to root her phone and install a custom rom. She said okay.

Installation is complete and appears to have gone well, without a hitch. I am now allowing it to sit the recommended five minutes before I start playing with it. This forum and its developers may just have saved her relationships with her husband, mother and father. LOL!

Great BIG Thanks! (already hit the thanks button)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JiN1337:
Run the SuperCharge V6 script, and and use Tegrak Overclock to move your minimum output to 1GHZ at all times (to ensure speed and stability) battery won't be killed any quicker in my experience. And you can't really go wrong with it either, anything you do in my above step can easily be removed or undone.

And if you notice a lot of force closes, try clearing the cache and Dalvik cache from CWM Recovery, it should help. Though the first boot will take a bit longer to load.

Also, if all else fails backup your files, and important data either using Titanium Backup or moving your entire SD Card's contents. Then flash the ROM again. Don't forget to re-check your mounts before flashing though or you'll end up having to ODIN back to stock.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Opt1kal:
ok, so I don't know if this has anything to do with GOV2, but I can say it happened after I flashed the rom. But for some reason since then my computer won't recognize my Sidekick when I plug it in via usb anymore. I do have the samsung drivers installed and it will read my friends Samsung Droid Charge just fine, but when I plug my Sidekick in it comes up saying "USB Device Not Recognized". So far I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers from the device manager to no avail. Wondering if you(or anyone) has an idea as to what it could be. I've also tried googling the solution and everyone says to just uninstall and reinstall the drivers and it should work. Now the phone is not plugged into a USB Hub, extender, or case, it is plugged directly into a usb port on the mother board.
