I agree... if you could use that galaxy lockscreen sduvik ported or a previous one (not sure if it needs work to work on kj) but that would be sweet.

Also please change the gallery... it drives me insaine.

This rom works much better with both ics and launcher pro... I liked the original launcher, but after use it lags to become ready.

Ill be subscribed for future updates. =)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mksin11:
It would be great too if you made the font smaller. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] madrrio:
Just use spare parts... same w launcherpro or ics.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
of course im still working on the ROM. Trying to figure out a few things on why people are getting freezes and Reboots.

LauncherPro will be replacing the GB launcher, and i'll add a new gallery apk along with other minor things im working on.

Would you guys prefer a new font ? Maybe stock or one from a previous ROM ? i cant change the size of the font, its just different fonts are in different sizes
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
No problem, Next update we'll have a couple of optional add on's including the HC battery mod and lockscreens. Any other suggestions feel free to ask.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mksin11:
thanks man. really appreciate it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Sduvick and i will take all suggestions into consideration. Thanks very much for the feedback ! If you notice lag while performing specific tasks please let us know, it'll be much more helpful.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mksin11:
i tried using spare parts, it wouldnt work for me for some reason.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
Only issue I got is the frozen gallery that's it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] madrrio:
Yea this was the only major problem I ran into

When running pandora and ur doing stuff in he background... the music will pause or skip while doing so. Try it out see if you get the same problem... it wasn't the connection cuz I tried on/off wifi.

I really like the font... just include spare parts?

Possibly a barebones remix too =) I don't care for half the google apps or visual voicemail stuff like that. If not I got no problem removin things accordingly.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i'm not using this anymore until update beacuse i find gingerclone better and more stable
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] insanedrunk:
I don't know if anyone else has seen this too, but when I plug in headphones the music app turns on in the background but doesn't play music, that's fine but when I unplug it the music plays... that's my problem. Is this a feature or a bug?

The reason it bothers me is sometimes my nephews sleep over, and it wakes them....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mksin11:
My gallery froze up today....now I know what everyone was talking about :( aww shucks.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mksin11:
do you think you can take out the tmobile apps? like thinkfree, the voicemail app? its still ok if you cant
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
The only issue with removing thinkfree and visual voicemail is that a lot of people still use those, and when they are removed, people get unhappy. Thinkfree allows downloading of different filetypes that fail otherwise, and voicemail fails to give notifications to those using T-mo's voicemail without the voicemail app.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] madrrio:
Maybe in a barebones remix? Ahahah if not titanium is easy to use =p.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Dolphin downloads everything. People using TMO VM should switch to google voice. :)

I used a root fillemanager to remove /system/apps that I didn't want, and apps that are in market. Then I got the apps from market, deleted DalvikCache, and phone has been stable except occational Gallery lockup, which is always fixed by pressing back and then re-entering gallery.

I removed gmail, gmaps, streetview, tmo vm, thinkfree, and multiple system-test apks. Also I removed launcher2 (as I use ADW) and the webbrowser (as I use Dolphin lite).
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
If the galery is an issue, until it's fixed I reccomend people use an alternative.

I use Quickpick and it works great
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Of course as soon as I praise it as fixed it breaks. Just made a call, it went on speaker phone by itself and then the touchscreen stopped working at all until reboot.

Guess it's time to move to ICS anyway. GC up2 was much more stable then this unfortunately. No offense to the devs though. Thanks for the continued support for SK4G.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] madrrio:
i havent had any of those problems as of yet? i just installed ics launcher and removed launcher2 along with a few otherthings, phone feels alot better than previous roms
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
It depends if the screen was kinda greasy
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
Alright this just happend to me, I'm using launcher + donut themed and I opened xda premium got the fc buzz (no idea what fc'd) homed out and went to task mannamger and cleared memory then I got the boot animation. Any ideas? Its running fine now btw.

sent from my.....what was it again?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Expect an update in the next couple of days. Got some minor annoyances including the gallery worked out. Stay tuned. Sorry for the long wait the last two weeks have been very busy I've been buried in school work
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ishred11:
I have had no problems with the gallery it works very well. Doesn't not FC like Stock ROM did.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Yeah, personally me either. But multiple people reported they've had issues which was enough to convince me to work with a new apk for the gallery.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] cpkfolief2:
they are all wrong! the font is great! its not too big? what is with these people? lulz. make an update for the font, but i certainly wont download it. =) great job!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Thanks. Update will be released this afternoon.

The font in V2 will be the same as TouchMIUIwiz font. But Roboto and the Stock Font will be available in second post as flashable add-ons.

Changelog Preview:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
Is there a way you can add the ics transistion? I tried adding them manually, aqll I get is fc city then boot screen.

sent from my.....WAIT THIS ISN'T MY PHONE!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Just added those in for ya ;) , they look pretty cool too.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] casper82384:
When is the update comeing may I ask
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
don't ask for eta waiting is good for everyone now and then
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] casper82384:
Yea true on that
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Uhm , you could only get ICS transition's on Gingerbread , i already tried and it F/C's .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] madrrio:
unnlleeesss.....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
unless he and i are two different devs that work quite differently.... you got it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] madrrio:
X)

Can't wait for the next installment
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
ROM updated, im sure you guys will like whats inside.

if you'd like an add-on to be added to the second post (other than the ones stated in the OP) just say so

Edit: Also just attached some updated screenies of the ROM to the OP
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] madrrio:
so quick! dl now, will give u some feed back in alittle. cant wait for the addon section too :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mksin11:
Does the new update fix the music problem? I don't have a sidekick anymore but I update my friend's.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
What music problem?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
alright updated, easy peasy, ics transitions seem to be working on launcher pro plus though? gallery works good now, thanks for the awesome update!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] madrrio:
yea everything is working here. i had minor problems with some widgets but it might have been launcher related (as i wasnt using launcherpro) all transitions, sounds, and mods seem to be working. gallery works faster for sure too.

so far so good, ill let u know if i stumble on anything
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] redcheetah:
Thanks, gallery work fine when delete pictures. So far I haven't find any problem issue. I'm still digging. Well su binary 2.x.x-ef same old. 3.0.3 is newer.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Ok, I'm gonna give this a shot since ICS 1.5 seems to still have some issues to be worked out. I am pretty happy with v1 of this ROM (even Gallery is usually fine for me and it's no big deal when it locks up since Back button and re-enter always fixes it), other then the fact that is has frozen and/or rebooted a lot more often then my previous GingerClone (mostly when using GoogleNav).

I'm assuming I can just update to v2 from v1 without wipe. Hopefully v2 will cure my stability issues. I'll report back later. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ajk1311:
I just flashed this on my gf's sk4g and I am confused because everything looks exactly like stock. No ICS theming or 3rd party launcher or quick settings or anything. I wiped data/cache in red voodoo cwm recovery before flashing. The kernel version in settings>about phone says 2.6.32.9-platypus_egg_v1 if that helps at all

I reflashed the rom and its working now. I must have hit something in recovery by accident. oops!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
V2 is full wipe, but you can nandroid backup and then advance restore if you want to keep your data
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Well, I just wiped Dalvik and installed zip. Did nothing the first time, so I did it again this time checking mounts before and after (Why do some people keep saying you don't have to do that with RED voodoo, but I always do or flashing a zip does nothing?).

Everything looks good now, but it looks like my data is gone anyway... strange. Does your zip format data? Guess I'm gonna redo the whole thing again with 3 wipe then data restore.

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

Ok...

Check mounts, wiped, check mounts, wipe cache, check mounts, wipe Dalvik, check mounts, installed v2, check mounts, restored data, check mounts, reboot.

First time I ever restored data using CWM (instead of Ti). It took way longer then flashing any ROM... Weird. It booted and let me choose ADW.Launcher (gonna go delete LauncherPro now) and everything looks as it should. That works pretty well!

I like the new font. Gallery is way faster. Filemanager is now called Files. I updated su binary. I'll report back in a day or two on stability.

FYI, Deleted:

LaucherPro (I use ADW)

Browser (I use Dolphin)

Swipe (I use SwiftKey X)

VideoPlayer (I use MX Player)

VisualVoiceMail (I use GoogleVoice)

VoiceRecorder (I use a different one that syncs memos to GMail)

EMail (don't use)

GMail (installed from Market)

Maps (installed from Market)

Street (installed from Market)

YouTube (installed from Market)

VooDoo Control App (installed from Market)

FactoryTest / LCDtest / SelfTestMode / LbsTestMode

MagicSmokeWallpaper / LiveWallpapers / LiveWallpaperPicker / VisualizationWallpapers

Memo / JobManager / MyFiles / ThinkDroid

There's a lot more in system I think I can safely delete, but I'm not sure:

ChocoEUKor / CoolEUKor / RoseEUKor

IMELatin / LatinImeTutorial (GB keyboard?)

DrmUA / SisoDrmProvider

We probably need ThemeChanger / AndroidDeviceCarbon / Emoticons to prevent FCs

What is LMIRescue / LMIRescueSecurity?

What is MobileTrackerEngineTwo / MobileTrackerUI? Sounds scary :)

PreConfig / ScreenCaptureService / KeyboardSlideUpCounter / others?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wuziq:
the way this is worded sounds like i am supposed to ignore the extra mount steps if i'm on orange recovery, i.e., i need to follow the instructions if i'm on red recovery. is this a mistake?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
I'm meaning you should ignore if you are on the red recovery, as in if your on an orange CWM, do the extra mount steps. If you have a voodoo (red cwm) kernel you don't need to do them
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HeavyYeti:
I'm looking at the OP and 2nd posts and can't see any of the add-ons. Haven't put them up?

As for the ROM, best one here. Smooth, fast and I LOVE the theme. Good work man. Here's to hoping you and sduvick and work something out with that SGS4G Ginger source.

A definite +1.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
I don't believe that is true though. I'm on a Red CWM. I only ever had Orange for about 5min, and I immediately used it to flash Bali which gave me Red.

However, as I said, when installing this v2 ROM, and a long time ago when installing add-on zips to GingerClone, I found that after reboot, nothing had changed, like the zips didn't do anything to /system at all. This V2 ROM didn't even format /data or do anything at all on the first try.

Even on Red, I do have to check the mounts (and make sure they that page reads "unmount" for all 4 items) after each step, including reboot. Should I reflash something, because I would love it if I didn't have to do that. Sduvick kept telling me I had to check them even on Red as well.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HeavyYeti:
I have to do the same with this phone. Teddy knows about it too, as I saw him mention it in the GingerClone thread. I haven't seen any way around it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] casper82384:
The rom is fine to me its fast but on usb hook up touch respose is slow work is vary well done
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
Cwm doesn't always flash the rom and this phone seems to be worse than others. If you are on Red recovery there is no need to check mounts, as it won't help with that problem. I flash the rom twice after wiping, I know a lot of people here do that and it works
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sushi829:
so if im coming from V1 of glorious overdose, all I have to do is wipe both caches then flash V2 correct?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] casper82384:
Yes all you have to do is flash it then its done
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Its a full wipe, so wipe as if your coming from another ROM

Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, And Dalvik cache in advanced options if you want.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Im finishing up for the add-ons section now, they will be up today.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mksin11:
When I had my sidekick, the music wouldn't let me slide the tab to go through the minutes of the song
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
I've never had this problem nor has it been reported before. Were you using one of my ROMs ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] redcheetah:
Android market app, pick any app you want to look at and want see picture what it have on it. You can see all pictures, I press to enlarge sometime I get black screen so I scroll right or left, it show picture sometime not. Exit enlarge picture you can see all pictures. Rom bug or android market app problem?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mksin11:
Yes I was. I was using this one
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bc54:
I have had the same problem as redcheetah for a while now. Before I was using your previous roms, like touchmiuiwiz and gingerclone.

Don't know of it is rom related though...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] izzy001:
Anyway to get google music to work with the lockscreen?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HeavyYeti:
I remember getting this bug too. I'm pretty sure I got it on a stock ROM, so it might be the Market's problem.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mksin11:
I believe this if market. Cause when I was running stock I had the same problem
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
This rom is spectacular, thanks. The status bar is great. Keep up the great work please.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] KaiDaHawaiianGuy:
The rom is really fast...only thing is I lost all my contacts due to tmobile contacts not being able to sync..anything I can do to fix that or something you can do?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
If you backed them up to your sim or sd you can recover them that way. Otherwise, no

sent from my....WAIT THIS ISNT MY PHONE?!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
You just need the. T-mo contacts backup app, you can pull it from a stock ROM and push it to system /app then reboot. Or I can upload the app for you when I get to my pc

And by the way the second post has the add-ons already, sorry for the wait !
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] madrrio:
man this rom is true to its name, theres no lag, no random freezes, its just smooth and glorious.

many thanks again guys, it has me loving my phone all over again
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sushi829:
has anybody had the problem where when you try using google maps/navigation, the phone will freeze and it will reboot after a minute or so?? i have had this problem happen to me quite a few times now and twice my phone did a complete reboot where i had to set up the phone just like how i would if i wiped everything and flashed a new rom on it. has anybody had this problem??
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] redcheetah:
after i read this, i checked on map yeah it freeze and got force close on map app but no reboot.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
I have no fc or reboot with maps, but I'm not using location.

sent from my....WAIT THIS ISNT MY PHONE?!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sushi829:
it doesnt freeze/reboot on me every time. Just every once and a while. Really quite annoying when it does a complete reboot of my phone and I have to set everything back up and reinstall all the apps again
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Yes, this is the problem I am having too. Never did a wipe, but frezzes and reboots do happen every now and then when using Nav (not maps).

RE contact sync. I am so confused as to why these apps even exist. How can you not have your contacts??? The whole point of Android is that it syncs with Google. On any phone/tablet/rom, all you have to do is setup your Google account and you should have all your contacts (as well as calendar, gmail, etc). I can add a contact in gmail on a pc, or to my phone, and it is nearly instantly synced to all my devices. Does it not work that way for everyone???
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] KaiDaHawaiianGuy:
No my gmail contacts synced but my tmobile contacts didn't...I have contacts in both
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I have no issues with Maps, I haven't had it FC on me and I use navigation all the time? if someone can write up directions on how to get Maps to FC I can probably fix it and add it into an update.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] eurohomie:
any way to disable the menu key from unlocking the screen when using AOSP lockscreen? other than that, lookin good
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TM_SK4G:
I have found the same issue but it happens while playing Life Is Crime. I thought it was the game but the maps issue make sense because it does use the gps to locate you. I don't think the issue is with maps in general but with the gps. Having said that, I've had the same force close with almost all of ayoteddy and sduvick ROMs I've tried so I don't really know where to point you to so you can fix it. I'm not hating on the ROMs at all, in fact I love them, I've just learned to live with reinstalling apps when it does wipe them out at times.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] casper82384:
Its happen to me but I know what to do re download it maps
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dad-gum:
I have had this problem in navigation with a few roms.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
Never had a navigation problem and I use it all the time and I've used it with probably every rom we have had for the SK. What are your guy's flash process? do you restore data? do you have anything running in the background when this is happening?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TM_SK4G:
I do not restore any data and follow the instructions that ayoteddy has always given with all his ROMS. This issue doesn't happen all the time just every once in a while for some unknown reason.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sushi829:
yeah i do not restore anything. the problem seems to happen only when i really need it haha. i kill all the apps right before i run maps/navigation and it still happens
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Haha. I agree, it only happens when I really really need it :P. Happened on this rom more than on GC, but also on that. I think it happened on stock ROM + bali too. I dont think it ever happened on totally stock.

I think I may go back to GC cause this rom is still buggy sometimes. It stopped responding to touch the other day and I had to pull battery. Then it locked up 10 min later (no gps use) and I had to pull battery again. Been fine since then, but I dont want to go through that again.

Also radio sux. I may just flash an older radio first and see if that fixes everything.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wilt100:
Can you integrate google music with lockscreen and notification bar?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] shamba:
Hey folks.

There are literally zillions of wallpapers out there, but my issues with all of them is that, well, they aren't exactly unique.

I'm offering to create you folks whatever wallpapers you would like.

I wouldn't class myself as a graphic artist, but I know my stuff - I have worked with Photoshop in a professional setting for about 3 years now, and have some time to kill over the next few weeks. I do mostly 2d, but have (VERY) limited 3D experience as well.

If you want a custom wallpaper, either post in this thread or send me a PM - I will post everything I create here for everyone to see.

If you can be as specific as possible on what you are looking for, it helps a huge amount - don't say something like 'I want one with my forum name on it', go for 'I want my forum name in xxx font or like xxx font but with a cool shadow on it, but my name has to be in the top left, and pretty small'

Things like that at least give me somewhere to start from.

I'm not asking for any cash or donations - it is as much an exercise in design for me as it is an open offer to you.

In the same way, please don't be sour if I can't deliver exactly what you are looking for; I'll always do my utmost to get you what you want, but I can't do everything.

Anyway, if this goes nowhere, no worries. If there is a great demand, I will work on a first-come first-served policy.

Shamba :cool:

[UPDATE]: You can see all in-progress/completed WP's here: http://shambagamba.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=scraps#/

ok i apologize for this...but... do you think you could just post me some of your other work and some other wallpapers i cant seem to get ahold of any randomabstract/video gaming wallpapers everytime i do they are the right size but pixelated and just nothing seems to be working... im not asking for anthing in particular bt if you just want to post the pictures or zip files either way is fine =] im just having trouble with this and im tired of wasteing alll my time looking for some wallpapers lol please and thanks =] but if the video game wallpapers need to be something special then i pick zelda =] anything from twilight princess and older =]
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] shamba:
Here are a few images I have - I can't post images yet, but it might give you an idea. Give me some time and I will get you a Zelda wallpaper, though! :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wrichards2009:
i've really been wanting some transformer movie wallpapers, I utilize multipicture live wallpaper so if youve got a cluster that'd be cool. and with all the little components from the transformers its rather difficult to see my home screen icons so a black border on top and bottom would be cool... just a thought.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] toxicpaulution:
multipicture wallpaper is super amazing =] and on the other wallpaper forum they have some it should be like a post or two above this one...called wallpaper(s) and LINKS TO ONLY thread they have them there =]

I'm not sure what you want me to tell you regarding my request for a wallpaper - but I would REALLY like a unique Batman wallpaper. One that looks good portrait mode as well as landscape. Darkly themed - If you get creative with it I'm sure I'll love it. Maybe showing a collage of his enemies?

I cant find anything like that that will work with my TF
