i'm not completely sure but i think as long as he committed his work to git, others can pick up where he left off.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] WolfV2:
Yeah, they can just fork his repo
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ishred11:
I don't think he stopped. On rootzwiki he said he will continue dev there, and not xda, so if you want updates, go check on rootzwiki.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
who pissed him off that he wants to leave xda? i dont know what is wrong with some of the people here.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
He hasn't posted on Rootzwiki for like 2 weeks. And ''job stopped" sounds like he was done trying. :(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
I find it weird that after a certain poing devs simply stop development. No rhyme, no reason it just stops.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
Its a conspiracy.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AFAinHD:
Obviously.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
The devs run screaming into the night when they discover the SK4G is available with pink accents.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jim93:
Devs buy a different device -> devote time to new object.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jmpz:
Obviously it's the best keyboard phone!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] musclehead18:
I love the sidekick 4g, but honestly I couldn't take anymore being stuck on a buggy 2.2 froyo and how slow it was even tho I was overclocked and was running the script. Now I was also tired of android because companies are more focus on making new phones than supporting their phones! And I hate buying a new phone and not getting a update. Tho don't get me wrong. I love android to death,!!! There is no is like androids,but I wanted to try something new so i went with the HTC radar 4g, and let me say this.... This phone is awesome, even tho it only has a single core but it's way faster than The galaxy s2. i compared speeds with my friends, also the os is fun and very smooth. I still have my sidekick 4g as I still love the keyboard and have faith it will get 2.3.but trust me this radar 4g is a outstanding phone. But there's no keyboard like the sidekicks. I just hope the sidekick 4g gets cm7
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
You're right!

My SK4G is posessed by demons and the phone company is ran by aliens hahaha! Just kidding, probably right about getting a new device Jim... I am considering it but haven't fully committed to it.

Since this thread is dead development wise, perhaps it should be moved to the general area
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
such a sad day. now i feel like i jumped onto a sinking ship since i wont be able to get a new phone anytime soon unless i buy it out-right. i should have looked into it more.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] insanedrunk:
That's hilarious, my sk4g is being run by the Illuminati .......
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
not just your phone man....everything is controlled by the Illuminati man...everything.

/conspiracy hat.

somebody really should move this into general chat until somebody can take it over.

So..... is a new thread to be started for a new set of dev's, are we still waiting from someone to step-up, OR are we waiting for them to release Gingerbread and THEN go Vanilla?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roundtableprez:
Y would we want vanilla?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
why wouldn't you?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JiN1337:
If someone knows what they are doing, by all means. But this is no easy task, and is in fact quite complicated.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roundtableprez:
Because it came before what we have now (which is even less supported now since its outdated...) why do you want vanilla?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
i think he is referring to vanilla version of Android thats on our system, not the actual vanilla Android OS. so basically, he wants the basic version of Froyo. at least that is how i understood what he meant.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] WolfV2:
Yeah that's what I understood him to mean as well.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roundtableprez:
Oh Okay so like stock froyo then?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] WolfV2:
Exactly.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
Yes, but not "Samsung's Stock" Froyo. :)

They always create memory-leaking BS!

CyanogenMod (at least on the D1, D2, and Intercept) has been my friend with the contacts available from the dialer (not seperate app like in the Samsung's-TouchWiz-Modded-Dialer) as a list within the dialer itself.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roundtableprez:
I figured as much
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
lol, yeah i always thought vanilla ment plain? or un tampered?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
back on topic anyone here know how to build from a github? or for that matter contineu the work on this or can find some xda topics explaining how to do all this x.x?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
This guide is getting outdated, but is really good:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=915435

By carefully following all the steps, I was able to compile CM7 for the G2, from the CM github, without really knowing anything beforehand! I also have a link somewhere to a script that sets up your dev/build environment with 1 click.

Just throwing that link up here to give you an idea, and because it worked really well for me. Other people might have other input for you.

As for how to complete the project into a fully functioning ROM, that is pretty much beyond me at this time.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
Nothing new on this topic?

Windxixi made it clear he discontinued work on this project weeks back.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Let me try to get a half ass compile together on his git for **** and giggles :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
Any chance you can focus your efforts on this after the RubiX Xcel project? Just curious.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
I am. Im a great multi tasker. I just released an ICS 4.0.4 IMM76I Rom for the Epic Touch 4G. And I am updating this and I got a new project very soon :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
Updating the CM7? Dude, you're already my hero for getting CM6 on this. Now i can officially say i like my SK4G more than my G1. G1 had a good keyboard and AOSP, now SKs have that opportunity too.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Don't go getting your hopes up. Been looking at the obvious devices with similar hardware and it's shaping up to be more complicated than I'd hoped.

It gets even harder for Reactive because he's working blind.

I'd be interested to hear any insights nevertheless...

Just be advised that any progress on this will leave the site and I will share it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Ive looked deeper into the code and heres my two biggest issues....one is the keyboard on this device...if i do get cm7 on this then there are going to be bugs bugs and more bugs...4G is questionable....and the drivers is a whole other mess in it self. Ill do my best.....theres a saying.....when life gives you lemons make lemonade :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
As Cave Johnson said "When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back!"
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
But i like lemonade....and its a great way to give whoever gave you those lemons the finger.... In this case would be Tmobile and Samsuck :P Mmmmmmmmm Lemonade
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
I desperately NEED that T-shirt. Good luck reactive.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
When life hands you lemons kick it in the balls and say "I wanted a beer... *****"

Perhaps once the device can be broken down to AOSP (or close enough) status in froyo then porting may go a little easier.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] senrai180:
it doesent matter if u dont finish, you're work is amazing anyhow.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
so I found this article and I thinkit has some pertinent information relating to this thread...

The links at the bottom may also be helpful
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] N00b-un-2:
That thread basically sums up every gripe I have had about the sidekick ever since I had the misfortune of buying one. Every single so called rom available is nothing more than a dressed up stock rom and the so called enhancemnts cause bugs and stability issues. I'm going to be replacing this device as soon as I can. Its ****ing ludicrous that between samsung and the community here we STILL don't have even a buggy half assed gingerbread rom yet. My last device has official cyanogen support for 2.3.7 and there are ics and jellybean roms and that phone is a gutless pile of crap compared to this phone. Such a shame because it has an awesome keyboard a decent cpu and gpu and it has 4g. Too bad its plagued by the absolute worst, buggiest and by far and away the absolute ugliest stock android rom I've ever had the displeasure of using. Can't wait to get a nexus device and hurl this piece of junk into oncoming traffic. There is not a single real dev here and this device is pretty much dead, running an ancient version of android
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] stryfe1986:
My thoughts exactly, I've never felt like punting a phone across the city until I owned this phone the worst part is my g2 broke and got replaced by this........because it was a "better" phone, like hell it is, I wish I had my G2 back
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Please stop posting garbage in the dev section. Complaints belong in the general discussion.

If you do not have a Linux rig and have not examined (and compiled and tested) the (partially) working roms from ayoteddy's AOSP and windixxi's CM7, you probably should not be posting here.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] N00b-un-2:
Oh... but I do have a Linux partition on MANY of my computers, have done a bit of Android development in my free time (I posted some beta builds of VLC on here a few months back) and I HAVE compiled windxixi's code, but seeing as how he never posted updates and has given up on his porting efforts it was a waste of time. I will admit that I don't have the expertise to debug the mess of code, but it amazes me (in a bad way) that 3 major versions of Android have been released (four if you count Honeycomb) since the release of this device and T-Mo and Samsung have yet to release even a gingerbread ROM, much less the independent devs here. My last phone had CM7 on it MONTHS before the official gingerbread ROM was leaked. This device suffers from a total lack of interest from a dedicated developer. I find it hard to believe that no one in this community has the capability to port gingerbread to the SK4G. I'm taking some Java classes coming up here so hopefully I'll get a better understanding of how to write code for Android but I don't see why I should when it would be easier to do what everyone else seems to do and just buy a different phone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
TMO and Samsung really did mis-manage this device. It's too bad.

Kernel drivers are a major obstacle in terms of a Gingerbread port for the SK4G. If I recall correctly, the display driver was closed source and thus almost impossible to port/debug, and the GPIO keyboard driver was a horrifying giant table of similar values -- difficult to port/debug. I guess windxixi solved these problems, which is very impressive.

An Android developer experienced and comfortable with Froyo and Gingerbread could perhaps get the SK4G onto a more modern development track, but it's hard to imagine anyone with the necessary skills would be interested in the project. For some reason, slider phones are out of vogue.

sorry...i could not edit my post from work, so what i tried was to reflash the rom, but when i chose choose rom from sdcard it says no files found also. I formatted the sd card on another computer, replaced the rom on it again, and put back in tablet, rebooted it into cwm, tried again, and still no luck...it doesnt see the sd card...omg...now what?

Does anybody else start seeing double images whenever he gets really close with the chainsaw an drill.

Like the 3D is great but when he starts pushing forward with the tools you can see the 3D effect, but I see two images and it kindof ruins it.

Should I be viewing it differently?
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I don't think you can avoid that and it also depends on how far you are from the screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
The last video is pretty decent. The first one is like the under water video.... I just don't see the 3D effect.
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
Was a little dumb lol but the 3d effect really wowed me. Felt like the drill was going to poke one of my eyes out lol. Haven't seen any 3d vidoes on this thing other than one ****ty one I took in low light. Pretty cool stuff
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Yes, I see that too. I believe it's due to how it was made and what product they used. I have a few videos on my phone that don't do that when an object gets close like that.

Samsung Keyboard for Xperia Play​

Here I bring the Samsung keyboard optimized for the Xperia Play​

Personally Xperia keyboard is not to my liking, especially in portrait mode is complicated writing, I feel the Samsung is more practical and simplified.

Requirements:

- Titanium BackUp

- CWM Recovery

- Root Permissions

Installation:

A. - Download the Samsung-Key-XP.zip and save it to SD

2. - Go into recovery mode, then let's mounts & storage

3. - And we click on mount /data and mount /system

4. - We return to the main menu and we will install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard> Samsung-Key-XP.zip

5. - We finished the installation and reboot.

6. - Restarted the phone, open Titanium Backup, and seek International Keyboard 3.0, make a copy and later uninstalled using Titanium Backup.

7. - Open any app as messages appear and write the new keyboard from Samsung.
