[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
You know what...that might help. On the epic touch it is always recommended to odin back to stock...then flash the new rom. Please try that and report back.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
Gotcha, will edit with results.

EDIT: Just kidding, Heimdall is whats giving me errors on MODEM partition. Finally found a KJ2 tar, gonna use ODIN instead.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
What modem are you on when you attempt to flash this???
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
KJ2. Tried flashing KG1 but MODEM failed, im trying to use ODIN but it wont do anything either.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kck17288:
Kernal?

Is it possible to bake the voodoo kernal in? because when I go back to stock its always a hassle to try to reboot into the red recovery.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Voodoo kernel is already in the ROM. Read the OP
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
The battery life with normal usage this charge is pretty decent I left the house shortly after posting last time and just got home and I'm at 64% was texting a lot while out but not using data and made 3, 15 min phone calls.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
Mighty glad to report that ODINing fixed my problem, got past the setup wizard and everything works. When i see the guy that traded me my spare iPhone 3GS for this SK4G im gonna yell at him and ask what he did to corrupt the MODEM partition. Re-partitioning ftw. Running v1.1.2 smoothly, the Matted Blues package works on it, too!

My major problem throughout this was finding a working .tar for ODIN, hahah. If anyone else needs it, Stock KD1 with Odin AND the .pit file needed, dl.dropbox.com/u/4037993/SK4G%20KD1.7z

If Heimdall isnt doing you any justice.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kck17288:
Finally Got it Running!

I had to install GG2 first because the voodoo bali wasn't working to reboot into red recovery, then everything went fine! :D

Edit:Why doesn't the jump key work?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Jump key works....its just been remapped to search :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] insanedrunk:
That button gets anoying anyways. I think no one will miss it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Being a sk user since the sk3 I kinda miss it jump shortcuts make things so much faster
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Well people gotta realize that the more aosp this becomes the less of the "great features" will be present. Its a give and take with aosp
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
I wasn't fond of it on my SK 08, LX or even Slide. If I hit Jump+M too quick (To send a text message, remember xD?), it would delete my whole message, hahah. And its probably just me, but it randomly opened itself at times on Generic Ginger (which FCed whenever it was started). Jump Key shortcuts still work though, you can set those up!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Use v0.0.5RC on ACSyndicate its a 100% Touchwiz experience. Enjoy
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
v1.1.3 coming tonight or tomorrow. Im compiling and porting cm6 launcher and some new framework.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
Keep in mind, you can always map it back.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
And then it will force close...i remapped it for a reason.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Lol nah ill pass I like this much better
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Thats good cause its only getting better from here :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
It's just what the SK4G needs, a dedicated force close button. :) We should work up little "FC" stickers.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Lol T-Mobile Samsung Sidekick 4G new and improved with ICS and the all new Dedicated Crash Button located in the lower left of the device ^_^

EDIT: if you can't tell this is a joke I feel sorry for you :-P
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HeavyYeti:
Flashed 12, and must say works nicely. However, the camera button on the side of the phone doesn't work. Not the worst of bugs, but silly having a dead button on the side of the phone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
I love dedicated FC buttons myself.....but I figured trying to explain to someone that thats how it was designed wouldnt turn out well :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
I miss it I switch tabs often
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Really? Camera is stock and the button is mapped correctly...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
You guys are gonna lose more features as this rom rolls back. If I were to get you guys 100% Cm6 or Cm7 you would have zero sidekick features rollover.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
good, this is very good

also 1.2 runs like a champ, no issues as of yet, did you figure out the issue of why the calls werent working?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
WARNING...THIS IS A MAJOR ROLLBACK...I INCLUDED 2 NEW SCRIPTS AND A EXT4 FORMAT ALL UPDATER SCRIPT...I ALSO RECOMPILED CM6 LAUNCHER AND SOME OTHER STUFF...THERE IS NO TELLIN IF THIS WILL BOOT.

ENJOY. HAVE ODIN ON STAND BY.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
ohhh ill let you know in a few

edit, got a status 7 installation aborted
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Ok go into the zip and delete the updater-script and rename updater-script.bak to updater-script...I was ready for this :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
i also have issues editing your zips, i use 7 zip or winrar and it never lets me edit them

edit: figured it out

flashing now

edit, it boots what was changed?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
I didn't notice this before, but yeah on 1.1.2. Camera is a bit wonky. The camera button seems completely dead for launching and for taking pictures.

Also ... camera app got sort of stuck (couldn't get out of it any which way, couldn't take more pictures). After a battery pull and reboot, it didn't repro, so maybe just cosmic rays.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
i can confirm that the camera button doesn't do what it should on 1.1.2... it doesn't open the camera, and when the camera is opened, it seems the button will focus the picture but won't snap the pic.

i also have noticed that Messaging will force close if i try to attach an audio clip to a text message. on stock i could fix this by adding back the stock SK file program, but on this that fix hasn't worked. any idea if this can be fixed? it's a bit trivial, but i do actually sometimes send audio clips via text. (it is perhaps another example of how finicky this Touchwiz is, that it doesn't seem to recognize any other file program, at least in this particular situation)

other than those minor things, this is very impressive sir, it seems you've got skills. things otherwise run smooth and fast. thank you very much for all your work for us.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
I like to think i got skillz :D Like I said its only gonna get better
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
I got an idea for a fix...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] insanedrunk:
This happened to me too, I extracted it and rezipped it. Then resigned it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Did u get an option for two different launcher options???
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
I use a zero bit compression method when zipping my roms. It is an added protection against kangers :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
no

i figured it out ;)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
awesome :D

and i actually found a workaround for attaching an audio file to a text message(if anyone else cares lol). if you also install GoSms, it has it's own navigation to audio files on your sdcard. AND, you can still use the AOSP messaging, and it will recognize GoSms as having that audio-file browser function.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
WTF??? This cm launcher is a bit**
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] insanedrunk:
Sorry, did not know that. Hope I didn't jeopordize your work.

I thought my 7zip was just outdated.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
No your good. You figured it out :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
ill have more info tomorrow after i run it through a work day, are we ever going to see the pulldown notification menu change, i hate the TW style, i think its ugly, and im having trouble modding the framework, plus ive been super busy so i havnt had time to play around with it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
Yes please.

I've never liked the sidekick themed TW stack. For me, this device has always been about the good 5-row hardware keyboard and otherwise modern (compared to my previous ADP1/G1) capabilities.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
I came across some possible good news today...I was looking for a device with the same exact partition layout as the sk4g and I found one prime canidiate...The Samsung Droid Charge. Dont get your hopes up cause this device doesnt have cm6 or cm7 but it does have a GB Kernel source code...the other issue that may be an issue is this device is a CDMA Verizon device and not a GSM phone. Im going to continue my search.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
:o I hope these words ring true to the future. For gingerbread would be a feast most appreciated by the minds of the sidekick slaves. :3
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] magnoidgoat:
Not sure if I missed something huge but I'm stuck at the SK4G splash logo.

Heres what I did:

-wipe data twice

-wipe cache twice

-wipe dalvik twice

-format /system

-flashed twice

It just won't get past the boot logo :(

Any help? Please be noob-friendly lol
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
got to check your mounts in recovery should say

unmount

mount

mount

unmount system this is most important
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] magnoidgoat:
Oh didn't realized mounts changed after formatting /system thank you so much it's booting up now
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Well I hit a snag in my partition quest...the droid charge mounts the partitions differently and the zImage are totally different. I WAS SO CLOSE.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
yeah this makes no sense, one would think there would be something out there
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] magnoidgoat:
Yeah I'm behind but holy &%^#*@ %!$# this is fast as hell. So awesome thank you for your work. Nice to see you're not giving up on this
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
I was very very close. But it didnt work. Im still looking
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
So I have heard... :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HeavyYeti:
I don't know if this helps, but teams platypus was looking at the galaxy s 4g as a starting point for gingerbread, as the phone shares the exact same processor as the sk. Plus, it does in fact have a 2.3 source code.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
It might also be worth taking a look at the T-Mobile Vibrant 4G. It has GB kernel source, and has some of the same peripherals. I worked up an experimental patch to shim much of the Sidekick kernel features back into the Vibrant's GB source:

https://carbon.flatlan.net/nxd/vibrant-gb-to-sidekick-v001-danger-brick-likely.patch

It builds, but it would undoubtedly need some further work to be functional.

stuck at green guy ????? help
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Another one¿¿¿??? You need to odin back to stock to clear a partition corruption...you system partition somehow got corrupted thus your issue. Once you odin then reflash this rom following my directions in the op and you will be 100% again. Partition corruption is very common place on all sammy devices.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] craven667:
ugh been so long since odin need youtube
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Theres your issue my friend....Even newer sammy devices like my epic touch are plagued with partition corruption...odin is your friend...I recommend an odin flash once every 5 flashes.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
You need to odin voodoo bali kernel so you can flash the rom.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] craven667:
can i flash with kernel out root

just been so long this is my girls phone

You should be able to odin the PDT v1 kernel w/ Voodoo recovery then flash my rom inside voodoo recovery.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
I took the big plunge...

Flashed 1.6 a few hours ago... took one flash. Had one f/c relating to voodoo, uninstalled it, no more f/c. Tried calling myself, call came through. Set my APN to my provider (Simple Mobile) data works. Received MMS just fine. I like where this is going hehehe
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kck17288:
Voodoo

It won't. I tried to and then had to ODIN back again. But I don't recommend flashing the Voodoo kernal on stock, I flashed a custom rom with voodoo support (any will do as long as it's KJ2) first, and then flashed this over it.

Edit: You can ODIN with voodoo? What is this dark magic?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Wtf??? You odin the recovery with built in voodoo. Not odin voodoo it self. LOL.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
v2.0.0 has those issues with FCing fixed.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] madrrio:
so, this rom is all set and good to go now? HAHA :)

sorry woulda helped with testing more but summer school, 4 classes in 5 weeks, that ****s craazzyyy.

ill start downloading soon then i guess :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Yes its stable.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
2.0.0 flashed without incident. No FCs or other weirdness at boot-up.

BTW, I've noticed this on the last few ROM iterations, and it might have been there forever ... Settings > Display > Wallpaper doesn't seem to do anything. Setting the wallpaper via long press on the home screen works as expected.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
That is because this rom uses the AOSP/CM6 Gallery built from source. The settings app is looking for the tw gallery which isnt there.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wolfepakt:
Can some one post new screenies of 2.0.0? My wife is getting frustrated with the stock KJ2 with the platy egg v1. I need to show her screenies though. And can someone test something for me. (If this works she will be sold automatically):

when you set your network selecton to manual and reboot the phone does it stay on manual or go back to automatic? That is a frustration with most stock samsung firmwares!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
No incidents with flashing hehe, looking great for sure. I don't use voodoo but I got an error saying the developer broke it and to download a fresh copy from the market. Meh... oh well :P Like how it detected my provider APN's automatically, that was pretty darn cool! Looks like I have a new daily driver... for now :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
question, ADW is growing on me, but i have a question as far as its memory usage. When i was running this ROM in earlier renditions i used 360 launcher just because i love the UI and i know everyone says its a memory hog, but i was seeing higher free memory numbers with that launcher than with LP or ADW. I'm not sure why it is but that is what im seeing with tests.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
FYI: Reasons I don't trust ReActive

I think all (both) of our recoveries have VooDoo. There is no recovery called VooDoo, so this is a really badly worded first instruction.

2 Times? May I ask why? Either the recovery is broken or you are just being a tool. Why don't you just have your zip format those partitions, then we shouldn't even have to wipe once.

Again, unless we have a fundamental problem with recovery, I don't see how flashing the same ROM twice could possibly do anything. Do you understand how file-systems work?

You release a ROM for a T-Mobile branded phone without including the TMO APNs built in? Why? I've never had to set APNs for any of the 50 ROMs I've used on 8 different phones. (I did once when porting a rom from a different carrier)

It is 100% safe to restore data for user apps, only system apps data has potential danger. What, am I suppose to just start over in every game I play???

Well, that's just annoying. Thanks for forcing me to be at 100% or suffer sucky battery when it probably would have been fine without, and if not I'd have the OPTION to recalibrate. It doesn't help PPL that don't know about recalibration either since they probably will install this rom on less then 100% and just suffer.

Worst idea ever. If I leave my phone unused, screen-off, for 8 hours at home, it loses about 3% if WiFi is left on, and it loses about 70% if WiFi is turned off (I have spotty 2G/3G/4G at my house)

Are you serious??? Why don't you just format the partitions in recovery? There is no reason to ever ODIN unless you can't get in to recovery.

[/QUOTE]

I think you mean figuratively. Please don't say you are literally any type of Nazi.

Also he changed the name/versioning of this ROM after 2-weeks (lame and confusing), and he acted like a child getting Gin kicked off (his IB4.6 is still on my phone and running better than any of the other 10 ROMs I have tried on it over the last year)

I wanted to try this ROM, but I'm not too sure given the lame instructions, poor handling, and the fact that I can't have WiFi left on all the time which WILL kill my battery.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
Really? He lists a bunch of legitimate issues with the ROM and your attitude is "I don't care"?

I've been watching this thread since you started it, hoping it would one day produce something good. I even offered to help buy you a phone to help you develop. Because I thought you were doing a good job.

But taking pride in your work doesn't mean getting defensive and dismissive when someone points out a problem with it. That's just being insecure and dickish.

Yes, rpmccormick came across as an asshole. But yes, he also brought up valid points. I don't want to see you stubbornly refusing to address those points in some macho attempt to avoid admitting fault, as it'll only make your ROM worse.

I'm not a fanboy of anyone. I don't have time for that high school popularity contest bull****. I just like my phone and want to see it reach its potential.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
a lot of the information isn't necessary, re only goes by what people tell him are problems, and some people don't know what they are doing, i always manually wipe one time before a flash, his last release booted fine and i havn't had a FC in 2 days, it ran right after the flash no editing or modding needed. His attitude, an i'm not speaking for him, is no one has to use it and it is stable, hes doing this for his own enjoyment and doesn't need anyone *****ing about how hes an ass. that's just my two cents
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Ugh **Sigh** Ok...Heres the pic AGAIN!

Look and let me be VERY CLEAR. I do this FOR FREE. Yes I care bout my roms "Issues". And most have been addressed and fixed. Now if one more person just one decides to troll my threads again I will discontinue my work for this device. you guys have one active dev for this device...do u really want to make ZERO. Enough with the high school drama. Links will be removed and threads will be locked. I see why you guys have zero development. A bunch of ass holes and trollz own this device. Periodically I go to my device thread to get away from this drama. Next time its gonna be perm cation.
