[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
I know it seems like a stupid question for someone who's used *nix systems for the last 4 or 5 years. Admittedly...I'm pretty dumb when it comes to indepth stuff like kernel placement in the update zips. So, basically what I want to do is replace the stock kernel in the KJ2-DEODEX update that ay0teddy put up with the Bali kernel without needing to flash one and then the other, I want to do it all in one move. Trying to get my phone set up to try my hand at making a custom rom(Don't know the specifics of what I want yet so don't ask stuff like the name, theme, included apps/scripts). And I'm wanting to do this all by hand, so please, don't tell me that I have to use the automated way(unless that's the most efficient way, and please make sure it can run on XP with less than 1GB of RAM[Yes, my computer is that old and no, not planning on upgrading to an entirely different rig anytime soon and can't find decent PC 3200 1GB RAM sticks for a decent price and am only including said info about PC because most rom cooking software I've seen out there only runs on newer systems.]).

EDIT: Well, until I get an answer because I've looked at a kernel's update.zip and a custom rom's update.zip, and I'm utterly baffled, I'm going to use GOv3.3 LEAN as a base(so far, the blue coloring stays, but going to figure out how to remove the Notification grabber graphic and change it back to default). And replaced Swype with iPhone Keyboard(I know. An android phone with an iPhone keyboard, yuck.), removed Lightning Launcher and replaced with ADW Launcher added MX Player, removed Quick Pic(probably gonna replace with ICS Gallery), going to replace the Camera App with ICS Camera+(if it can be replaced, that is). Now all that's left is to come up with a name(unless TLS doesn't plan on continuing Glorious Overdose, which would then allow me to continue the rom's legacy until we get 2.3 or higher on this device). I mean, I wouldn't take any credit for the ROM(minus adding some stuff and removing some stuff here and there) but the original creators would maintain all the credit, glory, yadda yadda yadda. (Also, found out that the SK4G, when using WidgetLocker to be enabled from boot and to disable the stock lockscreen, works wonderfully with an LCD Density of 200[the stock lockscreen appears small which is why WidgetLocker is needed to disable it and the Jump Menu is a little wonky, so, unless you don't use the Jump Menu or don't care if it is messed up or not, stick with 240.]). Also, all the ROM cooking(aside from apk editing) will be done on device due to the reason above(craptastic computer). TheLastSidekick and ay0teddy(assuming that I remember the original GO dev correctly), if you're reading this, let me know if it's alright or not for me to continue Glorious Overdose. I would PM the both of you, but I feel it's rather rude to PM for something as small as asking one question(albeit, an important one).

2ND EDIT: Broke down and PM'd them both and also found out the answer to my question from RicAndroid. So MODs can close this thread, delete it, whatever. I will however, be posting a ROM base with KJ2 DEODEX ROOT with the Bali kernel sometime soon. Make it easier for this deadpan forum to get some more life. I figure get the most popular ROM and the most popular kernel and release a ROM base(which I will take absolutely no credit for) for noobs like myself to use to build custom roms on.
