[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] WolfV2:
How about make two versions? An OC'd one and a non-OC'd one? I would definitely like to see how this thing runs with that (I usually OC to 1.2, and too lazy to actually do it when it would be helpful...)

EDIT: Just tried 1.3, about 5 seconds after setting it phone did the FC vibrate pattern, then stopped responding... maybe 1.3 is a bit drastic?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
ive been able to overclock to 1.3 semi stable, with a slight voltage increase ive gone over an hour at 1.312. the problem is that the battery does drain like crazy. and it is susceptible to issues. the performance gains arent 30 percent so it isnt worth it, but if it remained stable id use it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Chill out everyone. Its just OCable to 1.3ghz. Its set to default 600-800mhz screen wake and 200-400mhz screen sleep. My script handles the freqs of the cpu. However if a user chooses to use any overclock app or widget it will disable my script and no help will be given if someone has issues. It will show in the logcat if my script was disabled.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
Just a question on logcats but is there something like lumberjack but for froyo? handy lil app on my ICS devices for getting logs when i'm no where near a computer.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
App called aLogcat. It is the most simple to use.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
Thanks for the info!! At the momment i've gotten my phone as stable as possible with gov2 but I wouldn't mind trying something abit newer squeeze every lil bit of performance out of my sidekick. So i'll give your rom a shot an knowing how my phone behaves i'll have plenty of logs for ya to look at.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
You had me at hello.

Seriously though, hyped on flashing this.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
key words is up to...people on my ET4G have seen 20-30% but we also have sammy ics leaks :D On froyo im guessing 15-25% at the most.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Just so everyone knows im currently at disneyland with the fam...the rom is done but the wifi at my hotel sucks monkey balls so I cant upload :( I will get back friday night so i will upload when i get back.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] JonathanBarca10:
where do you live? Its crazy how people spend whole weeks at disneyland and may never go back again. As a southern californian, I think we kind of take it for granted haha.

Back on topic, I'll definitely be able to test this out when its ready.

Yes.

It's possible to remove tw framework completely.

well that sounds damn sexy

Oh trust me.

It's more than sexy.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
the framework isnt working in the kitchen for some reason, not an issue i just wanted to get the digital number battery icon

ReActiveDisorder suggested that I post a link to the flashable ZIP for my Bali "keystroke logger removed" kernel build here, so here it is:

It's risky to flash a kernel. It may work well with RubiX Xcel v0.0.4, but it may not, so have a fallback plan before you flash it. As always with custom rom bits, there is no warranty of any kind.

Please consider reviewing the OP where I first posted the kernel, as it has the various warnings, credits, and metadata about the kernel:

Don't mind all the "Post deleted", ReActiveDisorder and I were both having this wierd problem with our keyboards.

ReActiveDisorder: Thanks for the invitation.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Okay the two modem files are different sizes, so are they the same or? Sorry if I'm disrespectful or something :s I just wanna have the best phone possible :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Its just compressed differently. Both zips are the same modem. You are good either way.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Everyone please flash his kernel. I want user feedback. Im all about rom privacy and recording key strokes is a huge privacy no no in my book. I will be bundling it in v0.0.5 if testing goes well :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
It could be how I compressed the apk. I use a zero bit compression when doing any editing. It may be incompatible with this zip format.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
is there a workaround?

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

flashing kernel now
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Take the Framework-res from ayoteddies kj2 deodexed rom. That will work most likely
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
eh id rather just use your stuff for now, i don't want to cause or negate any changes you've made unless you think it'll be OK.

i use my phone a ton every day so i should see problems if there are any in any of the development. I'm looking forward to there being less and less touchwiz

if theres anything you need let me know
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Flashed .4 Works great, VERY smooth, very nice transitions, no problem with service, boot/shut down glitches are ok. Overall pretty Wicked :) Hope to see this translate to RubiX Ginger and to see alot less TW. Thanks for the contribution Reviewers/ Reactive
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Glad it is smooth. As I break down more touchwiz to its aosp goodness
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Yay for AOSP! TW sucks :) Love the dialer, I would like an optional Battery % mod maybe? I just like seeing the percentage and Flashing others files myself glitched out my phone hard.

Also I'd like to know if we can get an Extended power menu, I use it quite often with my ROM switching and such and the three finger salute doesn't always help since my volume down button is sticky

It says to not restore app data, is it safe to Titanium my apps back?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
Sadly I haven't been able to get the logcat for my sidekick when its locking up an getting waaaaaay hot >.< an this is without OC an this happened on every rom i tried but GOv2.... I really wish i knew wtf was causing the phone to heat up... its not the battery cause its much cooler compared to the area on the phone thats getting hot which is below the keyboard around the jklnm keys I reaaaaaly want this rom to work happily on my phone cause its soo much smoother an doesn't have the random factory reset bug that GOv2 has x.x

edit----

only thing i can think of is when the phone is warming up is after enough times getting in an out of my car an the bluetooth in the phone not properly disconnecting from the cars factory built in handsfree system (which btw works flawlessly with my captivate an my x10 mini pro)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
I would like more of the apps cleaned out if possible, there are a few I don't use or at least not too much such as terminal emulator and dev tools
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
You can always download Quickboot from the Play store, its an app that boots you into recovery.

And just hit "restore app only" when you use TB
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
You can temporarily disable system apps, to experiment with what can be disabled, and what cannot. If you disable an app and things seem to be working OK, you can delete it. Of course you can also damage the ROM, and end up needing a re-flash. YMMV.

You can do this via terminal, but it's easier in adb shell. You need root to do this.

ls /system/app to see what apps are installed. use Google to map apk file names to app names from the launcher

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

mkdir /system/app/disabled

mv /system/app/appyoudontwant.apk /system/app/disabled/

reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik only

boot normally and test phone for a while

Don't skimp on the testing, problems from disabling apps are not always immediately obvious. An app per day is a good starting point. If you have unusual force closes, or UI freezes, it's a good bet one of your disabled apps wasn't optional.

To re-enable an app:

mv /system/app/disabled/appyouneedafterall.apk /system/app/

reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik only

boot up normally and test

Keep track of what apps you successfully disable, eg in a text file on your computer. You'll have to disable them every time you flash a ROM, if you want to keep them disabled.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Update on my use, over night it started getting a bit hot from my normal use. My I'M client beejive had trouble connecting to the internet both via wifi and data as did google play market. And aptoide reports a memory shortage when I don't have anything more than normal running and clean the processes frequently with GO task manager
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
v0.0.5 should be ready soon. Lots of misc apps and framework jars removed and replaced with modified Aosp Counterparts. I also redid the whole updater script. The status bar will be in v0.0.6 & 0.0.7 Rollback.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
If v0.0.5 boots up properly this will be the smallest rom ever released. It comes in at 122mb total size. The runner up is GOV2 at 161mb. See the huge size difference :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
will this get rid of the social network status in the notification area, because i kind of dislike that whole thing haha, i hope it boots, when are we looking at a release?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Uploading now :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
ps this whole thing is starting to come together nicely, im not going to be able to flash until later after work, i cant afford to miss calls and emails

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Flashing now, I'll report in how it goes when I reput XDA
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
: Holds Breath : :-O
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
yeah ill be flashing it around 7pm or so Detroit time, unless theres a sudden advisory to not do so ;)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Tried flashing it and it acted like it was just a normal flash update. Tried updating from GG 4.1 with full wipes and tried again still boots as 4.1

I see no difference so I think something failed or it didnt flash right or something.

What it exactly says is

"Finding Update Package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Install from sdcard complete."

Kind of like I was just flashing a font or something

On my third reflash attempt it seems to have gone through though I got the dead pulse for mms and everything locked up for a moment. I like the new launcher so far. Tried to send a text message and MMS crashed yet again. Phone from the launcher says app is not yet installed. When a phonecall was attempted process crashed

Confirming a proper flash

Phone info reads

Firmware version: 2.2.2

Baseband version:T839UVKJ2

Kernel version:2.6.32.9-Platypus_Egg_v1

Build number:FRG83D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Wtf¿
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Yeah it's pretty weird, updated my post btw. The phones glitches are getting a b it annoying, think a fix is going to be fast or do I flash back to stable 3.8 GG?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
I wanna get this going first. Ginger can wait. Reviewers should be working on it soon.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
took me about 3 tries aswell to get the rom to install correctly with out buzzing like a bee across my desk :x not sure what happend there but if need be i can roll back on a nandroid
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
It was an updater script error in v0.0.5. Uploading new one
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
whew that sounds like a good thing

Downloading to look at the ROM now.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
ill be flashing this in... 30 mins or so, gotta do some lawn work first.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Hey! Tell that lawn hol'd up we got some ROM flashin to do.

Haha.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
There is still alot of TW but Ive killed roughly 25-30% of TW. If this boots up properly I can start rolling back more TW.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
kill a little bit at a time ;)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
The more TW removed the more AOSP code you can implement causing the ROM to transfer from TW to AOSP but the ROM will still be on a TW base just TW removed correct?

Anyway you can remove the WHOLE tw-framework? I seen it done before.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Downloading and flashing now, Btw if this is a TW framework rom what is RG's framework? And are they both based off the KJ2 Kernel?

Okay still has the standard update notice, and during flashing I got the blue lettered Reboot notice(cant remember what it means but I got it way back when I first started messing with my phone.)

MMS crashed on boot once again

When tried out both phone and MMS crash again.

Opening apps is pretty laggy, google play has trouble connecting to data

Doesn't seem as fast as the first flashing I did of the ROM
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Ok so it boots. Let me make some adjusts
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
After getting the phone to work it crashed hard and is now searching for a signal, it's also getting pretty toasty
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
I wonder why??? I figured out the FC issues I think.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
No clue, always open to helping out :) Hoping to eventually have as close to a perfect ROM for my phone as possible.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Try this one

http://www.4shared.com/zip/uqMArxZE/RubiX_Xcel_v005_SK4G_RC2.html
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
starting up the phone if you swipe down to the setup wizard the phone FC's to kingdom come an reboots, clicking the phone icon on the launcher it goes "app not installed" but also cannot remove the nonefunctional shortcut an replace it with a working shortcut (phone app is working) I haven't had any issues atm with messaging though haven't received any yet can send no problem.

Installed 360 launcher (personaly preff abit more flexible of a launcher anyways)

If it means anything I installed this over v.4 of the rom maybe thats why i don't have a whole mess of things erroring out who knows. Still gonna see if the phone wants to get bloody hot or not.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Both are easy fixes. We are getting closer :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
gallery seams to be broken won't load up any images says no items while if you look with the file explorer you can see image files on the sdcard.. weird
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Flashing now, Still the normal update package message. Blue SYSTEM UPDATED message at the end of flash

MMS doesn't crash

Phone doesn't crash

Sending Texts/recieving them works

Music works

App store works

Overall Very good, smooth once more, everything works as far as I can tell on initial flash. Don't really wanna install all my stuff again before having to rewipe and redo the next update or RG

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

Not the case with me, pictures load in both file manager and gallery, and load pretty fast, no loading lag (Over 500 pictures so some lag is expected)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
I'll try to clear the data in the galary then cause mine is hanging an doesn't want to behave :/

edit

clearing the app data fixed it \o/
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
welp so far im having zero FC's and its smooth and not hot or otherwise problem-some, good work reactive, ill run another night of testing. are you going to continue to work on .6? what changes are in store for us on that
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Yes I think you have .5 at stable now :) it's a little plain for my tastes, I can't wait for Ginger to come out, though I might be imagining differences?

For reference the apps I don't use are:

-Car Home But it is useful for those who commute and need hands free though navigate button doesn't work

-Dev tools

-DSP Manager

-File manager(Though useful for those without Root Explorer)

-Google Search (though I think the phone needs it?)

-News & Weather (though I can just hide it if need be)

-spare parts(same as Dev tools)

-And terminal emulator because I use ADB though might be more useful when I get into Devving.

If it's not useful I can remove the list.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
something is missing in the rom atm i cannot get alogcats to pull any logs up x.X? an when trying adb logcat I get a error about a file an directory being missing.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
im getting super low quadrant scores. basically the CPU is only pushing 340 on quadrant :( im not sure why this is
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
You gotta install google maps for the car home nav button to work correctly. You can remove most if not all of those apps you mentioned.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/RC6L46Ly/RubiX_Xcel_v006_SK4G_RC.html

v0.0.6

I ROLLED BACK A LOT OF TOUCHWIZ ON THIS BUILD. THIS IS ANOTHER TEST BUILD. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Flashing now, I will edit this with results.

-Still generic update message when flashing

-Get the 3 buzz of death as soon as I start up

-"Tune A FEW THINGS FIRST" twitches the phone then crashes it hard

-On opening "Start using your Sidekick now" I get the message "The application Android keyboard (process com.android.inputmethod.latin) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

-Even on closing FC keeps popping up

-Nice little cyandy

-Due to Keyboard continuous FC Text message, net, and phone are untestable.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
as in removed? how much is rolled back?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
75% of the app drawer is compiled cm6/aosp 2.2.2 :D 60% of the etc folder is cm6 and 100% of the audio folder is cm6.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Total size is 117mb
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
wow ill let you know how it goes.

im getting a FC of android keyboard com.android.inputmethod.latin

i removed the keyboard and browser and havnt had any issues since :) that may be where the issue lies ;)

i installed swype beta and opera mini and now im not having any issues. ill test furthur, this is all on .6

still have really low scores on the CPU on quadrant 340
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Messaging?? anything else??
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Quadrent isnt everything. Its how it feels at your finger tip. This is still a huge WIP. Everything isnt fully aligned as of yet.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
i had FC in the browser and the keyboard was causing one, other than that everything seems to be running fine. the messaging app is working. Quadrant is kicking back a low score for the CPU 340 and a 1300 total but it seems to be running fine and not hot as far as i can tell. so the android keyboard app and the browser were 2 things ive removed and no longer have a FC issue. I can send and receive messages and make calls

and yes i know its seems to be smooth and it feels light and nice, its definitely a good step forward ;)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Give it time...How much available ram???
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
just sitting im looking at 170

its running well for a test build, definitely stable enough for me so far, i feel like my SK is just a beast because i rarely have issues some users find. I do use it alot for work and email and calls and music so ill let you know if anything comes up. as always i'm down to test whatever, and once tw is gone completely ill cry tears of joy ;)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
What is typical on a bone stock rom???
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:

you sir are impressing me.

now as far as the scripts, did you remove some in this release? if so whats the story on that?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
Wow. That's a lot of free RAM for a SK4G ROM seeing normal usage.

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

I haven't used a stock ROM in ages, but even with agressive, risky memory freeing techniques [1], I usually see between 100 and 140 MB free.

[1] techniques include:

installing next to nothing

ripping out system apps like weeds

never upgrading Google Maps

using Autostarts to disable intents

using a manual process killer just before checking
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
v0.0.7 is going to be a huge roll back of TW. Ive repacked the zImage into a standard boot.img. Hex edited it. Totally cleaned the build.prop to match a typical cm6 build.prop. Removed ALL TW Related folders in /System. Xbin has been converted to 99% Cm6 and bin Folder is mostly Cm6 Binaries. I plan on riding the other folders of all the crap as well. This is the closest you guys have gotten to a functional AOSP/Cm rom. Ive if there is still some TW Code floating around it is still small in size. Typical cm6 rom with gapps is 109mb zipped and this is a 116mb. Only 7mb of crap to remove to get this down to an aosp size!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
BTW, if you would like build.prop or other initramfs changes, you can send patches and I can provide a kernel built with them. Just an offer.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
So besides getting rid of the worlds most annoying UI what are the new advantages of the ROM? Is the loss of size going to hurt anything? Is GO Launcher still going to be decent on here?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
i'm looking forward to it, yes .6 is running fin, i havnt used it through a day of work yet but if .7 is going to be out any time soon i'm gonna get that bad boy on here
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
How exactly do you stabalize the FCs?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
I installed titainium backup, removed the android keyboard and browser apk's and installed swype beta and opera mini, then I rebooted wiped dalvik and regular fixed permissions rebooted. Restored all my apps minus data and havnt had a FC or otherwise since. Running at normal temps and memory useage is a little lighter than normal, which is a good thing.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
Re, do you think there are some apps that can be removed and whatnot to make the file even smaller? I'm getting pretty excited about all of this I must say. I'm definitely running well thus far. Question, once this thing gets going to a non beta release down the road what are the odds we will see a theme that kills the twframework-res stuff and we can get a cyanogen style theme?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
I can't find where to uninstall the Latininputmethod or Keyboard so i'm just going to roll on back to GG 3.8 till the next update :) Seems like that's the only problem with the rom so far
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
I'm really happy and impressed with all you have done for our device, and you don't even own the phone yourself. You have been a blessing to us all. I just wanted to thank you again. Such a nice and smooth rom. Can't wait for what more you will bring to us.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HewettBR:
