Ok so I flashed 1.06 after doing a full wipe and got a boot loop had to restore nandroid :-/
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
i booted it fine, first boot had some fc issues but after that ive been running stable for 2 days
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Hmmm its odd because when I flashed it, it didn't look like roms usuall do when they flash there was no updater progress text just a progress bar that filled up then went past to the edge of the screen and it said update complete
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
Yeah its a different update script, it works, i just flashed 1.0.7 and had not FC issues, you cannot swipe down when it boots, you have to swipe the lockscreen up and manually set up the accounts and whatnot. Zero FC on 1.0.7 as of now, 10 minutes into flash.

edit: the torch app FC but we dont have a camera LED
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Ok well maybe I got a bad download gonna try flashing 7 downloading it right now will report back
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
make sure you wipe everything and set the mounts correctly
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
Except for just remembering what you flashed, is there a way to tell which version you have by looking at something in settings or some file or whatever?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:

RE, cannot receive calls again, but its something in the system apps, i dont know what was changed but when i restored the system data from 1.0.6 i can receive calls, we neeed to fin out what app it is and figure out why. Ill work on this tomorrow unless you have an idea
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
I get that with every rom I flash, I find myself having to pull the battery out, boot into recovery and do a second flash for the son of a ***** to boot.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Flashed 7 Slid it up and waited so I could set it up and I got the 3 buzz FC/crash notice with no notification box and it rebooted from that 5 or 6 times before finally letting me back in, though it still says Start using sidekick/set up things

Torch just Fcs

Called myself and cannot recieve calls.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
hmmm the lockscreens arnt working but im not having any issues as far as stability. gotta figure out why the damn calls cannot be received :(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Messaging is kinda hard, Typing in the contacts line it seems to be white on white unless something is selected for the contacts bar.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
I dont get why some people have issues and some people dont???

Newest Version. Everything should work. If it doesnt im at a loss :(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
Yeah, that's pretty odd. Especially the folks who have to flash more than once. My guess is that maybe some phones have an internal flash memory that is marginal during flash. It's not that it takes two flashes to work (which would be sort of contrary to the laws of WTF :-), but that sometimes the flash doesn't work right at all. It just seems like it's always the first time with a new ROM. Anyhow, that's my uninformed guess.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
Could be different hardware revisions during its short shelf life. Starting to see why samsung dropped this thing like an unwanted teen pregnancy during prom night. Still nice to see folks crackin away on development anyways.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
Flash aborted (code 6). I'm going to re-download and try again.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Same here.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
I still havnt gotten it to boot at all I keep getting stuck in a soft brick downloading 1.10 trying it now if it doesn't work I'm just giving up and sticking with what I have lol
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
Checksums for the ZIP matched on second download. I guess something is pooched on this upload.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
http://www.4shared.com/file/DaOLZWi3/updater-script.html

Copy and paste this updater script into META-INF/com/google/android and see if this works
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Uploading new version with abort error fix
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
That cured the flashing problem.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/mHX9DXUb/ACSyndicate_CM6-Merged_v110_SK.html

Heres the full rom with updater fix added.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Excellent
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Is everything good on it???
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Ok so here I am running 1.06 ^_^ I figured out the problem. The rom assumes your running kj2 firmware and doesn't include it lol I run kd1 roms because they were more stable. I installed an older kj2 rom for ****s and giggles booted it went back to download mode flashed 1.06 and rebooted and poof booted right up. :-P
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Correct...Adding the modem [Radio] is a horrible idea...ive seen devices perm brick cause of a botched radio|modem install. So when i deodexed the rom I completely removed the modem. Why all the devs that were on the sidekick never removed the modem is beyond me but I wont do it for safety.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Check your pms reactive I need help setting up the apn I have no data unless I connect to wifi

EDIT: I figured it out

EDIT: Havnt run into a single fc or reboot or problem since I setup apn and got rid of apps I don't use. Running amazingly smooth and fast. (1.06)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Flashing the newest rom will update with news.

btw Cyanogen boot ^-^ yay

-Boot is fine, set up went well

-reboot was a bit laggy after flashing Blaze 4G

-touch screen was jumpy and twitchy, tried selecting things in the titanium list and it kept rapid scrolling.

-Tried calling myself three times, it rang twice and went to voicemail each time, I confirmed I have a proper IMEI and a good signal.

Phone is getting toasty but it's on charge and newly flashed

Overall, decent
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Its getting there...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
You didnt follow my directions in the OP. They are very very detailed.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Directions for APNs is in the OP
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
What did I do improperly?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
First off...you didnt let the phone settle for 5mins...that would of caused your laggyness and turbo scrolling during setup...second you mentioned your phone being freaky after flashing the modem...you didnt let sit for five minutes after that....and third you said you phone was getting toasty after flashing and that you were charging it. Its never a good idea to flash and charge at same time.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
First two I did let it set, though the charging I didn't know.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/Jl27vpUF/ACSyndicate_CM6-Merged_v111_SK.html

Phone should be fixed.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
Regarding LEDs.

Under /sys/class/leds, I have:

led-querty led1-blue led1-red led2-green led2-red

Each has the usual LED sysfs nodes inside them, particularly 'brightness'. I can make led1 blue, magenta, or red, and I can make led2 green, yellow, or red.

It should be possible to find where i.e. '/sys/class/leds/green' is referenced in the Android mid-stack sources, and replace it with '/sys/class/leds/led2-green'.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
That is great news
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
So far, it has been running pretty smooth. I am able to receive calls. The lock screens are working. Charging and missed call LEDs work. And I haven't experienced any lags or anything yet. :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Got my first crash androidprocess.acore fc looped when I deleted a contact on 1.06
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
Try the latest version, 1.1.1 posted at the top of this page.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
Dosent work, when you open the lockscreen it goes to the default Android setup thing, which where it says "Touch the Android to Begin" if you touch it, it does nothing. if you mash buttons on the keyboard, and try opening "Messaging", that FCs too. Maybe 110 works.

EDIT: Whys v110 deleted...? v111 is broken btw, need to fix it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Well I havnt seen anything posted about a crash due to deleting contacts so I figured it might be a consitant bug noones come across yet.

In my opinion with how stable and fast everything else is with this rom one crash due to deleting a contact isn't enough to make me flash a new version unless there's major changes. I was just bringing the crash to the attention of the dev ^_^
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
Dont install v111, cant get past the Lockscreen. Wait for a new update.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
v1.1.1 has been removed
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
Really? I've been running on it just fine?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
Likewise (though I don't stress it much).
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Grrrrrrr....Does v1.1.1 work or not? I depend on user feed back.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Ok so it does work. Im still trying to under stand the sidekick. *Sigh*
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
This was in response to v 1.1.1
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
I had two users report issues so I pulled out....... <---- P.M.E :D

Thats what she said :P
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Can you take a screen shot of the launcher and status bar please. I Want to see where I stand plz :)

Yay can't wait

creepin
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
Hmm.... maybe Sidekicks are made different hardware wise. I get around 5 FCs then i can move around the lockscreen, where it says "Touch the Android to Begin". Does nothing.... T.T I want the new lockscreens already!

With all the different results in flashing and whatnot, im just ready to scrap this piece of crap phone. It has a keyboard sure, but my Thrill is waiting for me, completely stable and all built the same. I guess you just have to depend on luck with this device.

EDIT: Also, the title says v1.1.1 but you removed the link and its not up on the ACS Syndicate site.

And maybe it didnt work because i FTP'd it. Downloaded it at a friends and he didnt have a cord, LOL. Whatever, anyone down to mirror their copy of it? Im at home.

EDIT2: v1.1.1 isnt functional, but v1.1.0 is taken off as well? Whats going on :o?

editagain: Found a workaround, set a Jump Key shortcut to Play Store, added an account, DLed TiBu and uninstalled "Setup Wizard 1.3" with it, i can get to my homescreen now. Dosent matter though, Baseband version is Unknown and i cant go to the Status menu. Messaging app FCs. Currently waiting for a legit version. Craving the "Android" lockscreen but it sucks knowing that the ROM dosent work.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
hmmmm did you do a full wipe?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
Mmhmm, did everything correctly. Its probably because i FTP'd it onto my device with SwiFTP. Guys, never do that. So im waiting for v1.1.1 to be re-upped, got a mirror for me? :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] insanedrunk:
Does this have aosp messaging mms.apk? That would be icing on the cake.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
Yes sir, v1.0.6 and up. Theres no DL link for 1.1.1 as of right now, though if you check back tmrw it'll probably be here.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Just got two weird fcs. Walked out to get a drink and my phone looked like it died (full battery weird) but whatever I tried to turn it back on and got the 3 buzz and had to release and re-engage the powerbutton to start it up again, then once on the opening lock screen sliding it up crashed the phone hard again. Now it works okay from what I can say, just reporting weirdness
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
No its my way of saying "Hey man, Ive never heard of that app, what is it?? Whats its function??" I cant help solve a problem if I do not know what the problem is to begin with ???:)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] The Pope of Dope:
Its a twitter app. The official app sucks bawls. This one is pretty and has all the features the official one is lacking. The problem is when you press the "options" button on the sidekick the menus come up with white text on a white background. Considering how many options this app gives you it is very annoying to say the least. Also, considering how many people in the IT industry live on twitter it is pretty crucial I get this premium application working seamlessly ASAP. I assumed it would be as easy as modifying a function or call back with the BLACK value instead of WHITE. I personally do not know much of android file structure and do not want to be bothered with learning because of how much work I need to do.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roundtableprez:
I've noticed this on the popup menu in just about every rom the solution I chose was to install back one of the themechooser themes and using it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
Yeah, as far as quick solutions/workarounds, I was also gonna suggest changing the theme with the built-in theme chooser(tho that could mess up other menus). Also, when worst comes to worst, I just navigate the menus with the trackpad, that usually highlights the entries so that they're readable.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Ahhhhhh Ok I see the issue...The app is basically for Gingerbread/ Ice Cream Sandwich Colors Blue/Black Scheme. Im not to familiar with froyo as of yet but judging by the white background that seems to be a froyo thing.

This is a prime example of android fragmetation...This device never got bumped to gingerbread for some odd reason (You guys can thanks Tmobile for that). I will see what I can do with that "Issue". If I edit the frameworkres.apk I might beable to make the background black but that leads to another issue of the black on black lettering on the menu. It sounds easy but it will be something Far harder then that.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roundtableprez:
I prefer to blame samsung. They left us in the dark with no update
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
Thanks for working on this ROM for us. I flashed it to my backup device, and I agree that it seems faster and more responsive than stock. I assume if I switched from the stock TW launcher, I would lose some of those tweaks?

As mentioned before, I also had to enter in the Tmo APN settings to make data work, but it was easy enough. As fas as GPS, I didn't notice much difference, or if anything, it started out a bit inaccurate, and took maybe a bit longer to zero in on my location in Maps. Will do further testing tho and see how it goes.

All in all, I think this would be a great ROM for someone who prefers a mainly stock experience. Thanks ReActive!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Things will change once I kill the little bugs
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Actually it was Tmobiles fault...They asked Samsung To build this device to there specs and with Tmo like Software. Also Tmobile doesnt update there device regularly like Sprint or Verizon does. The carrier basically killed this device.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
I'm abit shocked at my phone atm.... it doesn't have a sezure when oc'd to 1.3 did a over night test on stability set to performance an when i woke up 25% battery (went to bed about 10 hours ago >.>) an it was still responsive as ever good work ReActive! A minor request while your tinkering with the framework thing you could add in a percentage mod to the battery? I'd ask if you could make a option for having a percentage or not but i have a feeling thats abit complicated just like adding cm7 styled notificaiton swipping :x
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Its amazing whats possible when someone who knows what they are doing works on this device.

Can Someone do a quad test and post the results plz...Im making some adjustment to the cpu script in v0.0.2
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Is it safe to use the 77tweaks init.d tweak on this ROM or would that glitch things?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
Ask an you shall recieve (an don't mind my modified framework found out it worked this morning :x)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Not bad for 800mhz max. On v0.0.2 I set default to 1ghz while screen is awake. Lots more changes.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Trust me...My init.d scripts cover every part of the "Tweaks" you can possibly think of...77tweaks will most likely cancel out my own tweaks script. I wouldnt recommend it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
is that overclocked? i ran it stock and was getting in the 1500's
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
ya sorry about that i just checked my settings its at 1.2ghz with the io setting set to deadline. :x
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
The bootup on mine was a little twitchy and slow and the screen lags a bit when opening up the apps and between screens.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
My updated cpu freq script should solve that issue. its in v0.0.2
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
:eek: Thats at 1.2ghz??? That is horrible. My Epic Touch 4G gets 5900 quad bone stock. :eek:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
For some reason, with any version of RubiX Xcel, i always get the 3 buzz FC and a hard reset... Every time i reboot. Just throwing that out there, maybe it can be fixed later as well.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/6R7nl7bD/ACSyndicate_CM6-Merged_v112_SK.html

v1.1.2 is up Everyone wipe data wipe cache wipe system and wipe dalvik. And check your freaking mounts.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
I pmed one of my testers and he doesnt have the hard reset issue sooooooooooo idk why your having it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] N00b-un-2:
I get 3 buzz on reboot too

I've tried flashing this rom 4 times now, I've wiped data, system, cache, dalvik cache and checked my mounts prior to flash just like for every other rom. it flashes fine but then when I reboot I get the 1 buzz follow by three buzzes at the Sidekick 4g splash. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say this is directly related to the 1.3GHz clock speed. I never OC my sidekick because anything higher than 1.1 causes hard reboots and FCs constantly.

:(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Default speeds is 1ghz max and 382mhz min. Not 1.3ghz
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
Flashed twice just to make sure. Getting FC on the Voodoo Control process (org.projectvoodoo.controlapp). After that, other things seem to ride smoothly. (But if this is OC at all, my poor little sensitive phone can't take the pressure. It does not like OC at all, so it will probably wig out under stress.)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Flashing now, will edit with results. Anything specific you want tested?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HeavyYeti:
Using 1.06. I got one hard reset at the lock screen, now working fine. Soon as I get home, ill test out.12. For whatever reason, I'm also getting hard resets.

Edit: also, this isn't a deal breaker but it happens with any rom that uses the AOSP launcher. When I press the menu key on the homescreen, one of the boxes ends up being empty. Like a black hole staring at me. I heard it has to do with the framework. Once again, not big at all. Just an observation
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
I've seen this, too, in all of the recent versions of this ROM series. If you press it, you get the notification pull-down.

I assumed it was a fingerprint scanner. :-)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Ok so flashing twice seems to help as well??? Gotta love sammy. My epic touch is exactly the same :P
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Just wanted to update cuz I changed a few things since my last post on here.

Running V1.06 with smx framework and battery mod, also using the new bali kernal with the keylogger disabled oced to 1.2Ghz with tegrak. Still no problems at all since the FC problem with deleting contacts. been running my phone all night gone through my 2nd full battery. But like i said been heavily using my phone all night.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
How is the battery life???
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
Same problems as v1.1.1 for me, "Welcome to SGH-T839, Touch the android to begin." Cant click it cause it does nothing. Baseband version is probably still unknown because i left it sitting for 15 minutes and its still searching. Except at the frozen setup wizard it tells me that Voodoo Control App is FCing, whereas on the previous version it would hide in the background and i cant hit the "Force Close" button.

Dont know if it could be a factor, but maybe it dosent work because im on AT&T?

EDIT: After flashing the ROM 6 times in Recovery, Flashing the Modem 6 times in recovery, wiping EVERYTHING 6 times in recovery, checking my mounts, same problem. When i threw my SK4G at the wall though, Gallery FCd. Making progress.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
No, that's not what I meant. I meant that I got the problem and flashed again just to confirm.

FWIW, here is the exact sequence I use when I flash the SK4G:

Battery pull for a couple seconds.

Both volume keys and power to boot to red CWM recovery.

Wipe cache partition.

Select and flash ROM from sdcard.

Wipe dalvik cache.

(Sometimes) reboot recovery.

Reboot system.

Place SK4G in a sound-isolated chamber and close my eyes for 5 minutes or so while it boots.

I use this order for my own convenience in working through the menu items. I was in the habit of doing the "reboot recovery" step out of some kind of superstition, but I haven't been doing it lately. I sometimes use the power button as select, sometimes the trackball; haven't noticed any difference.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
The voodoo app is confirmed but only you and one other person has this issue the rest it works. So idk.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
:'(, Ill try ODINing to KJ2 then rerooting and all that jazz again. Maybe that'll make a difference.

On second thought, nevermind. This phone isnt worth the time and effort.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Ok on 1.12 everything seems the same pretty much. I can receive calls and texts now :D everything = AOK
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
So lucky your sidekick is deciding it wants to work. T.T

EDIT: After putting the v1.1.2 Framework inside the v1.0.6 file, ive found that the framework is whats messed up. 1.0.6 is stable but i have the frozen setup wizard. Gonna try putting the 1.0.6 Framework inside 1.1.2, will edit with results

EDIT2: Weird, When i put the 112 FW inside 106, i get the usual FC at the beginning, but cant go into setup wizard. If done vice versa (106 FW inside 112), I get the Voodoo Control App FC and Messaging FC, along with the setup wizard bug. This is so mindboggling....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Voodoo and messaging seem to work fine for me
