oohhh snap! low light camera? hook it up homie! It's been a few hours and hasn't crashed so it's good enough as a daily driver until .02 get's it's ass released hahaha...

The email app is kinda helpful in my daily work/smack talking, hope to see it come back :) yea dood, that ringtone is friggin dooooooope

Mad props to Reactive and all who came before him. Lots of elbow grease has been put into this device that's for sure. Let it not be said nobody didn't do anything for this blasted thing.

Oh yea, the ability to download any file type would be a great addition.

Guess the web browser app is gone too... haven't fk'ed with .02 yet so blah blah blah, something so I copied the .apk files (browser, email, camera, calendar) from buddy boy's old rom into the new one... problem solved! Camera button working too.

Now for the tricky part... see if I can wipe my own ass :P
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
Been running and messing around with v.0.2 for a few hours now. Haven't come across any problems, and is stable. Wish it had the option to change to the android lockscreen. Happy that the update facebook thing is removable :D I like the theming and stuff too, looks pretty nice.

edit: I accidenty hit the microphone button instead of the question mark, and that causes the messaging app to crash.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
hmmmm ok, the lockscreens were lost when i added the damn remve social network status, im trying to figure out how to have both, although im struggling on this one. i just noticed the microphone thing as well, im not happy about this and im not sure why this is happening as of this moment. As far as the camera email and those apps i will include them in the next release. Aside from those i will remove all uneeded apps fb twitter and all that jazz.

I would like to ask if anyone has any insight on how to keep both remove sns and lockscreen as well as why the tts is causing the mms app to fc. I've messed around with the settings apk to try and include both of the lockscreen ans sns status but i fet force closes. i will continue to try and figure these things out. i hope this thing is working well for all of you.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
Can we get an un-touchwiz'd Calander, like AOSP on this, as you cannot add more than one reminder for events with the TW-ish version on most ROMS I have used?

FYI: Just installed 3.0.1 after verifying 3.0 was stable, and I get this when trying to get WiFi Calling enabled:

I got this on 3.0 also.

Any suggestions, as I would like to give this a better go?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Attempting to run Fix Permissions through ROM manager showed a message saying "error while attempting to run privileged commands
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
hmm im not seeing this with mine, i connect fin and use wifi calling all day. did you make sure the apn setting we correct and that the router youre connecting too has allowed this in the pas, although im not sure the apns would matter. Maybe a sim issue?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
download busybox free from the play store and update busybox to the 1.20.1 and then update your su binary roboot and it should work, i am working on seeing how to fix this
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
I just restored the prior ROM I was running, and everything works fine, as it did before trying this one. It passed traffic on all other ROMs I have tried (the ones that don't buzz 1st thing, and then never let you click the Android to finish setup :) ) and is currently working on my prior ROM I just restored to (FRG83D, and I can't remember which one that it is). I could get on the WiFi, and the market, but not get a signal bar, and couldn't get on WiFi Calling (and WiFi calling told me that it could not read the SIM).

I don't know how to change the APN setting on this phone, as I have never had to before. Please advise.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Worked wonderfully! Thanks. Oh and also had to manually set the APN for those that thought it was auto. Can't wait for the next update
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
im going to fix this in the next release but go to

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1979

go to wireless and network/mobile network settings/access point names and enter the info from the link
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
Reinstalled, and tried, upon entering Mobile Network settings:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Pretty good battery life :) might not be the best for me because I flashed on low battery, but I used battery calibrator and deleted battery stats in recovery
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] walliester:
good rom,so far stable for me ,2 question did you fix the camera,and is cool if i used set CPU or leave How it is.....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] achaps81:
Does this have a bluetooth bug? Cuz this rom I'm on will delete my bluetooth pairs and it gets annoying. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Cuz I listen to pandora in my car and I have to repair it seems almost every day. Any info is appreciated.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
You can use set cpu but there is a script from reactive that is supposed to throttle the cpu for batery life. I've used tegrak and its fine do as you please. The next release 3.0.3 will be slimmed down and have all of the standard stuff.

As for the apn sim issue is anyone else seeing this? Did you flash the latest version? I've yet to see this issue? Ill. Try and look into it. I'm gonna be busy but ill get a release out that should fix issues. The next release will have a barebone and standard version. The barebone will have only apps necessary to functioning the phone the other will have email calender and things like that. Basically one will allow the user to download their own things and the other will have everything neeeded from a stock standpoint.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
cant setup apn i dont have a input method either?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
Hmmmm. Is it giving you a sim issue? This doesn't make sense if it is. I've flashed it several times and have no issues. Yeah the next release will be fixed, although I am getting frustrated with this damn thing now.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
no there is no sim issue.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
Yeah my vision is to allow the user the most freedom in choices of apps, I don't like the stock apps at all but anyones imput is appreciated :) tis is for you guys I'm gonna mod mine to my liking
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
one thing that i dont know if it is possible or not... but on the notification screen when you pull it down would you be able to change where the date is to maybe a place where we can put a custom name? or maybe even where it says TMOBILE on the notification screen? just a thought but i don't know if its possible
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:

3..0.3
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
I will be holding off on updates for a little while, please feel free to let me know of issues through the thread or PM. I wanna go over the theme with a fine tooth comb and make sure everything is how i want it. 3.1 will be released hopefully by the end of next week
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
Is there a camera feature now?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djh:
Yes, camera is working fine now, facebook notification can be disabled. But again, there is no selection of lockscreens and Contacts app is not working. Anyway, ROM seems to be very good and stable, so I'm going to start using it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
yeah finally a smooth rom with out random reboots and freeze ups
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Yes the stock rom was a mess.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
not just the stock rom.. there are alot of custom roms that are a mess too. at least hewitt doesn't make a rom then discontinue it. and he helps people that are having problems with either installing his rom or having other issues with it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Thank All the drama queens my friend. There was alot that went into making the decision to discontinue my work with the sk4g.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
oh believe me i have read all the threads. i know what yall go through. im glad that yall make these roms for us because the stock roms always suck with all the bloatware and crap
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Im talking to my other team members and we might bring more support to this device. But I am waiting on a bunch of stuff. For one this forum has no official Mod Support. I am working with xda admin to change that. I would love to become a moderator but I dont see that happening. There is also the issue of JiN3347 being banned and returning over and over and over again. I am working with the Mods to get this resolved as well. I would like to continue where i left off but until these hot button issues are present. No team support will be given.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
when my contract is up. i might do 2 more years and actually do my research on phones but so far its looking like i might go with the HTC one S or the samsung galaxy S3
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Only one total black freeze up aka have to hold the power button for like 30 seconds to reboot it but I was running a few apps. I can't OC to 1.3 it crashes hard. And everything else runs okay though I'm not sure I calibrated the battery correctly it drains a lil bit quicker then CM Merged
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dad-gum:
Is there still any benefit to flashing blaze modem?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:

V3.5
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
Change log please :o
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
some theme-ing and re included a lot of the apps until i can remove things and confirm stability :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pmp326:
3.5 .....no connection to sim keeps telling me to insert it .......
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
that makes no sense i dont get why people are having these issues
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
I'm not having that issue.

Though deleting contacts brings me to a force close
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
This isn't your rom, mine does it on every rom
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
I have never had any issues with any other ROM, (that works this well :)).

OH CRAP. I had unlocked my phone a while back, could this be the issue? I don't have this issue with any other usable ROM. (Many just whack out, and don't let me activate/initialize and touch the Android at all post install, so I usually have to restore a back when I try one of those.) This one works for everything, but phone calls, WiFi Calling. Could it be that it is unlocked (not rooted, but unlocked)?

Is your also (Provider?) unlocked?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
it shouldnt matter maybe flash a modem, im not sure what else could cause this
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djh:
My unlocked Sidekick works just fine with 3.0.3 (except the Contacts app, but it doesn't matter). Phone and 3G works, so I guess it's not unlocking that causes troubles.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
3.5 works well, wifi-calling crashes on boot and I had to install the gmail app.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
im curious why this is happening, is this a problem everyone on 3.5 is having
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pmp326:
ok so on the sim problem ...fix is to odin back to stock...was having a problem when i came from another rom...sorry for the mix up wifi calling did crash at boot....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
3.6 is coming out today in a little bit should fix the wifi issue also removed the busybox apk i think the md5 error is also corrected so that wont be needed

http://www.mediafire.com/?9qnzxt5b1254y7j
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
The calendar in 3.2 (or was it 3.0?) seemed much better in the limited time I tested it.

The different one. :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pmp326:
stuck at touch android to start i do it makes a sound but moves nowhere 3.6
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
try to get into recovery and do a factory wipe then go to mounts and format everything but the sd card then reflash, let me know if that helps
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pmp326:
still wont budge
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
did you swipe up to avoid the setup wizard? has anyone else had this issue?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pmp326:
swiped up and down no difference did get a force close at boot but couldnt see it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
ill look into this
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
There is nothing to look into. You need to Odin your device back to stock to clear the corruption in the partitions. Then reflash the ROM. You guys have this weird idea that you should never have to odin your device unless you brick. That is totally false. Samsung devices are all the same. Its recommended that every 7-10 flashes you should odin. Odining clears all corruptions so your device runs better and smoother. I odin once every 3 flashes and ive never had any issues. The way samsung set up these devices being the recovery is stored in the kernel and not the bootloader things are bound to become corrupt. I had "rpmcommick" argue with me thru pm bout never having to odin a device unless its bricked. Its total non sense. Anytime anyone is getting weird off the wall bugs that no one else is getting....guess what...ITS TIME TO ODIN.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] agentg1001:
Best rom out here for the sidekick :D , very fast
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
im a believer in this idea for sure, some people hate odining
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pmp326:
ill try brb

just got this phone two weeks ago.....

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

no luck odin 2 stock then install still stuck....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Its part of owning a samsung. Whether peeps hate it or not if you want to root and flash roms you gotta odin once in a while.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pmp326:
something on my sdcard ....formatted it and everything works
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
So the sd card is the issue? Thats weird.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pmp326:
yea once i formatted the sdcard no problems at all very smooth rom!!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Very interesting. Maybe a corrupt sd card then. Hmmmmmmmm....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
Hmmm perhaps the minor odd behavior is part of the problem... gonna odin and hit up 3.6 tonight. Thanks for the insight reactive
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kck17288:
I can confirm that a bad SD card totally ruins the phone. I was having huge problems with my sidekick at first until i formatted, and then SD actually went corrupt and I was forced to buy a new one to get the damn phone to work.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
can someone post the pit and tar files for the stock rom so i can odin and reflash
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
Never mind. Flashed this from with no problems. Love it so far.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
That's odd.... I go back to odin then flash 3.6, 3.5, even 3.2 that worked for me and nothing but f/cs and being stuck at "touch the android innnappropriately to begin" screen. Maybe it was just a fluke from last night....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
This is the problem I was having with about 50% of ROMs I was trying...

Single buzz after the graphical interface came up, then 2 more buzzes when unlocking, and unable to touch the Android. Odin Solved this for me!

----------------------------------------------

Odin did in fact resolve it, and the SIM issue went away as stated. This looks VERY GOOD so far!!!

The 1st thing I noticed is that there is the same issue with most ROMs in that if you start typing someone's name in the "To" field on Univ Composer, then it lists everything in colors that cannot be read. All you can see is Home, Cell, and the like when doing search and if I have two "John"s unless you select and drag... you cannot read what the... say last name is. This is workable, and should be fine, I just noticed it.

Props, Sir. This is working GREAT! WiFi calling, and ALL!

Now that it was mentioned, I DID have an issue with a cheap eBay MicroSD card that failed, so my issues might have been corruption somewhere related to that (Kernel, Bootload, or something similar).

I think I just found my new daily driver, and thank you for a great ROM!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
I have been trying to fix the text, I thought it was gonna be an easy fix but its prooving to be harder than I thought. Also I heavily modified the tw framework and framework files but they are not booting stable. I'm going to continue to try and give this thing a heavily modified look but I will not make any promises.

Ps I'm looking forward to reactives new work, I'm sure once he comes back not many people will be using this
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
Ill stick with what works. U still have to manually set up apn and download a keyboard for on screen messages. I did however notice that the battery drain is not good. When I flashed I even cleared battery stats but it still Looks like it just drains for some reason. No complaints its smooth I like it. Hope those issues can be fixed though. Keep up the good work man. This is awesome
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
I agree there is nothing wrong with ODIN. If it makes you feel better or you've tried everything else, then go for it. I would be absolutely shocked to find even a single case where that solved a problem that formatting each partition through recovery would not solve (theoretically there may be a case or two, but the odds of that corruption happening to anyone are astronomical). If you could re-partition through recovery then I don't think there would be a theoretical case at all.

On the other hand, I could be totally wrong and it is wise to ODIN every 3 flashes or some BS (why not every 1 flash?)... but that sounds like an old-wives-tale to me. Can you educate me otherwise?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
im having issues getting the apn setting to stick when flashing, anyone have any insight to this, once they worked byt through testing im seeing that they arent auto setting
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
hahaha ODIN was a trainwreck, root went easy, formatted SD card, but flashing recovery was like a rape victim (kicking and screaming the entire time).

ODIN'ed a second time and got recovery through, but when it came to flashing 3.6, 3.2, 3.1, same result... Touch android inappropriately goes nowhere. Even flashing Reactive's old work got me a no SIM card error.

Flashed B2B 2.5 and have a properly operating phone. Your work (and Ractive's) is awesome and i know it's my device is just being an @$$hole hahaha

Pardon my ranting here, been scratching my head on this one
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
Did you try formatting the sd card some users have said that fixed the issue
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
Yup, I attribute it to being a bad night for my phone. No time tonight to mess w/ it... I'll hold off until the next release and start from scratch.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pmp326:
the only way i got it to work was.....pullsdcard odin phone after it boots go to stock recovery wipe all...formatted my card on p.c. then reinserted and started over......worked like a charm

btw unlock root works great
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
Gave it a second shot, and it worked! Odin'ed, rooted, recovery, flash Rage 3.6 and no issues. I won't do this again until GB gets ported hahaha!

Aside from that... good work man. I'm liking the work you're putting in!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HeavyYeti:
Flashed this yesterday, must say an awesome ROM. Lack of a browser surprised me, as well as a keyboard but nothing that can't be DL'd. Fast and stable from what I can see. Definately my new driver.

One thing that'd be cool is maybe putting in sduvick's lockscreen mod? I'd flash it in, but it'll mess up your framework and I kinda like the digital battery meter.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
Yeah. It was in there before I opted for hiding the sns in the notification over the lockscreens but I an add that in the nxt release
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] insanedrunk:
Roms working great so far, but the YouTube app reeks. The new one re-buffers on orientation change. No biggie. Just used the old YouTube 2.1.6 apk, IMO is far more stable. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
I was bored, so I decided to try flashing the matted blues theme on this ROM, which worked fine. I had the update social status disabled, and when I flashed the theme, it stayed disabled (though the option to turn it back on is gone) and the option for new lock screens worked. So now I have the status bar disabled and the android lock screen :D

Just though I would share.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
Untill u clear data n it comes back
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
Yeah my framework has the lockscreens in it, its just the settings apk that's modified. You will be able to do that just by taking the setttings apk from an earlier version that has the lockscreens and replacing it on your phone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
When should we expect a new version
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
don't spook the devs, give them time
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
i dont know... whenever i have some time to make changes, its been a busy last week for me so i havnt even touched android much.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shifty331:
Didn't mean it like that. I know how u feel. Work is chaotic. Never have time for anything is completely understandable. Keep up the good work bud
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
wait will i have to charge to 100%? first?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
not necessary but recommended you can just charge to 100 and wipe battery stats again
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
weird i have no data even though its enabled...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] insanedrunk:
Check your APN settings.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
Oh I never use to have to do that with ayo roms >.< but I thought the issue was fixed?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pitflyer:
Just dug my Sidekick 4G out of storage and since this seems to be the only ROM still being used put it on my device. Worked pretty good, got the same force close on the setup wizard.. After about three tries I was able to get past the setup wizard and its working nice.

The only thing I noticed is no browser is installed by default? I don't even see a way to install the default browser -- I installed Dolphin HD -- which work fine. Problem with going back in time to Android 2.2 is that all the browsers I normally use - Chrome, Boat, etc, don't work on it at all.

Thanks to the OP for sharing the new ROM and keep up the good work. FYI, my steps was to verify mounts as listed, then format dalvik, cache, wipe data and then install Rage 3.6.zip. I also do get the random force closes, etc, all the time -- so it could either be an SD Card or ODIN issue. If it gets worse, I'll try formatting the SD card and then go back to ODIN - I have never used ODIN before though.

Smooths out surprise on this installation?

3.6 only, or earlier, too? I am still on 3.5.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
yeah it can flash on any of the builds
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] danageis:
First off gotta say really great rom man :) I am hving a little problem with keyboards tho. I have installed boh swype beta and swiftkey x, but neither of them are working for some reason... I can select them in settings but the actual keyboard doesn't appear when I select a tex box. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
make sure they are selected in settings then reboot the phone and see if they are enabled
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HeavyYeti:
It was nice guys, but my SK just took a dive last night. It's busted beyond repair. Thanks for the ROM man, best one that I used.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dad-gum:
Autocorrect strikes again. I meant, "smooths out autorotate?" I tried flashing lockscreen zip, and I see no difference.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] insanedrunk:
HewetBR, does your rom underclock the phone about 65% battery? It feels slower as the battery drains.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] eurohomie:
make sure you go into select input method and select swype in there as well as checking the box for it. I overlooked that at first too and just checked the box for swype but was baffled when it wasnt working
