Re: [ROM][4.2.1]PACman Ver 19.9[LOTK][2-9-13]

So i cant get rid of the soft keys... Cant enable them to open close menu even though its set to... Cant controll my performance... Its a nice rom, just not my type i guess :(

Pushing the PA prefs and restarting fixed all of this for me.

Hi I came across this post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37807201#post37807201. I cannot stress highly enough DO NOT FLASH ANY ASCEND P1 ROMS TO A P1 LTE DEVICE, IT COULD KILL YOUR PHONE !!! Until further information has been sourced by more senior developers this is a BIG NO NO ! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !

Please if you have a lte device check out the ascend p1 firmware page, there are some good developers on their who may be able to provide more information :good: :fingers-crossed: but as this is a newish device you may have to wait a few weeks. :)

Hi, I'm a noob at this rooting thing

I made a mistake and bought cheap Chinese Razr Maxx which have Google stripped off from the OS. :(

The model is XT910 and ran 4.1.2 with build 6.7.2_GC-384.

I tried the root tool from this thread. But afraid of continuing because of this part (see screenshot):

It says "if error, EXIT NOW". Since it says "FAILED" on 4th line, I close the tool.

I also tried other tool like SuperOneClick, Bin4ry, EasyRootICS, Zergrush, and DroidRazrRoot. All doesn't work.

Any solution? :D

Thanks

Hi, the download link in that post seems to be broken

The mediafire page said this:

One of the poster in that thread said that I can download it by "adding all link to your account", but it seems there is no option for that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] shadowkriptos:
It seems that you don't are using the same rom that the package is for. Cann you change the rom you are using to the China retail we are using? It woould works flawlessly!

do you have your XI910 root now??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Lzto1320:
I guess he has gotten the ROOT, bcs the ROM he flashed without cdt.bin, then without upgrade bootloader, so that he can get root.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Hub:
Alright. My first post of course is a question. Lol. But first off gotta say thanks everyone especially all the devs. Awesome work guys. Well to the reason of this post. I just traded my note 2 for a brand new. Unopened nexus 4 16gb. And i got it rooted and running

Aokp mako. With fauxs 123 kernel. But anyways. Either inset cpu or the performance tool in main settings the kernel is getting stuck at min 1026mhz. Ive flashed three different kernels so far. A was originally on revolt rom. Did super clean installs and all. Im very familliar with samsung, and the rooting and some tweaking. But not no coding. Any help would be great. Loving the phone by the way and way too any good roms to choose from. Haha.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android88:
That could be a bug with the ROM. I would try using an app to set the CPU frequency and see if it sticks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Hub:
I tried set cpu and cpu tuner aswell. If i set a screen off profile to dumb it down it works. But with screen on it wont go down.. Thanks for the reply.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
The beast is back....and now with amarullz's Aroma Installer thanks to the contribution of demkantor. This way, you can pick and choose what you want with Glorious Overdose....a Sidekick user's dream come true!

I took the liberty of updating the theme to make it more Jelly Bean-ish....and best of all....all menus are easy on the eyes. Now, I have included the stock web browser so you don't need to install it via Aroma.

Yes...the file is big. It is because of the optional apps included. Remember, you can pick and choose what you want. As always, I take no responsibility if you happen to brick your device.

I decided to roll it back to v2's base. The only changes I made was updating the apps and including build.prop tweaks and rpmmcormick's init.d scripts which he cleaned up using various sources. Exit_Only also contributued to this project.

Base: KJ2

Modem: KJ2

Kernel: Bali 20120602_nxd - Keystroke logger removed

Rooted with Modded Recovery to enable flashing into CWM

Deodexed 100%

Apps and Framework Deodexed and Optimized

All Apps Updated

Debloated

ICS Fugu, increasing touch response and smoothness

Appealing Blue Theme

Jelly Bean Keyboard

Roboto Font (from ICS)

AOSP Music with Working Controls on lockscreen and notification Pulldown

Some themed apps and widgets, App icons Themed

Extended Power Menu with Header Removed

Battery Full and USB Debugging Popup Removed

Volume Rocker Tweak (Silent +Vibrate)

Modded Setting with DriveSmart and Update Software Options Removed

Nexus 4 Ringtones and Notification

Jelly Bean Boot Animation + TV Off Shutdown Animation w/Sound

Build.prop Edits (Changed Default Ringtones/Notifications, Changes to improve scrolling + UI performance + More)

Jelly Bean Transitions/Animations

Ads Removed (Ad-free)

Many init.d tweaks for better overall performance

All credit going to ay0teddy, sduvick, PDT, nxd, Exit_Only, amarullz, demkantor and rpmccormick

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
No need to credit me, I just spend 1hr organizing 20 or so sh-script files. Didn't write a line of code, deleted a bunch of duplicate ones after merging files, then re-organized and added comments. Thanks though. :)

Looks good. I did like your Redux menu-theming though (trans-black matching the widgets). Any chance on porting that, plus maybe adding some color to the Settings-Menu (even blue text rather than gray makes a big difference next to the gray icons... I've seen small colored icons I like in other phones, but I hate the big colored icons I've seen in other sidekick roms). Oh, maybe you could just tint the settings icons blue so it would match the power-menu.

Anyway, the GOv2 base is as stable/bugfree as a stock KJ2, and the tweaks you added to it bring it up to date with _most_ of Sams changes, and none of the bugs. This should serve the last few users of this phone well. Only thing left to do is change how it looks. I don't expect any new tweaks to help us, unless someone wants to work on zram or something (I don't even know what that is, but it speeds up the ROM for my AdventVega JB I guess).

Thanks Ric!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Here is the weird thing about GOV v2. Once you touch the framework-res.apk, it results in the jump key bug. I did try to update the look, but figured it best to leave it alone....unless enough people want me to change it and then I'll use ay0teddy's jump key mod.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Ok, now I'm confused on this jump-key mod.... I have never used the jump-key in landscape, and it has always worked fine for me, however, I prefer PreHome anyway (thanks for finding that gem) so I changed my jump-key to a search-key simply by copying over the keyboard.kl file from Redux in to GOv2.

1) Does the jumpkey work in landscape with GOv2's untouched framework-res.apk?

2) Isn't PreHome + keyboard.kl changing the jump-key to a search-key a valid solution for everyone?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Re: [ROM] ad_vitam

Yeah...true. I'll see what I can do with the theme, then!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Simply put *this is the best ROM I have used on the sk4g*

I really think you should look into continuing development here, whatever you did its damn near as good as froyo gets

Surprised there are only a few posts here.... People you don't know what you're missing!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Really? I did this as a one shot deal since GOV development came to a halt.

Maybe I should just merge the neXus JB theme into this and make a Glorious Overdose v5?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
and the crowds cheered....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
You got it, then....this weekend will mark the end of neXus JB...and the return of Glorious Overdose. I need to do that...too many roms to manage leads to a headache.

I will use this as the base. This is actually pretty cool!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Aroma.... Pm me if you need a hand
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
Thank you both!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Well....seems like this is a work in progress. I just discovered that out of all the apps I selected, only the launcher was installed. Uhhhh....demkantor?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
I'll be home soon and I'll have a look, glad you put this together! I'm sure it will end up being the best ROM out for the sk4g once complete!

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

ok.... this will take me a bit to clean up... ill be back in a bit!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
I can't wait to try it out. It will be the last ROM on my SK4G before I move away to the HTC One.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
You should add ezlauncher seems smooth an looks really good.

Not much customizing settings such as themes but it has a really nice app drawer with a task manager

Should give it a look over before though might not be your style (:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
all right no promises as my phone is still... well its not a brick... but i cant flash so i might as well use it to build a house...

anyway ill have it fixed soon im sure but for now here you all go!

And although i looked over this a bunch im sure i missed some things, i can do some cleaning tomorrow and help build a much more full setup. this should boot and flash as you tell aroma to do, but if it doesnt it cant harm anything just wouldnt work, let me know if there are issues and i can fix it!

as always,

Happy Flashing!

opps, wrong download!!! give me a minute....

Edit2

Ricandroid sent me what I needed and now my phone works!

So I flashed the rom and it works.... sorta, you need to run aroma and flash the rom only, then reenter aroma and choose skip rom and flash your mods, this is far from ideal and I will fix it soon, but I need some sleep so it will have to be tomorrow, sorry guys!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
sorry only had a half hour or so to work on this, im uploading now, currently the aroma package seems to work fine, allowing you to install whatever youd like. there for sure needs to be more cleaning up of this i just have the time at the moment.

@RicAndroid, feel free to add to op and use this for now if you want to get it out there, i can help you build up Glorious Overdose V5.1 if you would like as this is great but has room for improvements. a little more sweat and tears and this ROM will be super sweet!

@ everyone else, consider this a preamble to the best ROM yet for this phone, RicAndoird is on his way to bringing this phone back to life once again!

...internet is slow right now, about half an hour until upload completes....

ok took the dogs for a walk and im back with the link, here ya go!

This rom is amazing, and the aroma installer is beautiful! Thanks for the work!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] agentg1001:
Installer is stuck here :eek: , is it safe to do a battery pull?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] agentg1001:
Nvm, battery pull was safe
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Yeah it should be perfectly safe, rather if you have adb access do adb reboot recovery

Then full wipe and try again, did you check md5sum of file? I've flashed 3 times with full wipes and haven't had this happen.... I'm still sifting through the coding though and I have already fixed a couple other things
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
would love to see the modded messaging apk from the older rubix

or even message pro g (lite version)

message pro g is a ics theme looks very amazing compared to the original sk4g (no leds on either but i dont really use leds :p)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
As soon as figure out the issues going on with this I'll add it!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ndiy:
Question : are this rom support the front cam?

anyway, thanks RicAndroid for keep supporting this phone. :good:

hope for the update / perfection for this rom. :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Of course it does :p

Hopefully will be updated and the kinks worked out soon, but ricandroid is busy with work as am I, I'm working on lots of projects at once and its kinda burning me out, but if one of them succeeds you all will be some very happy campers!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ndiy:
Thanks demkantor, I reckon you're the one that still around answering questions of others.

This is actually my 2nd time using SK4G, 1st time around 2011, using ayoteddy's smooth maximus x.

Actually, i didn't planned to came back using this phone, but there's a great deal on ebay, and I always have been a fan of sidekick since sk1 (the monochrome one), lol. :laugh:

Anyway, your work and RicAndroid really brought SK4G beyond a froyo phone can do, it's amazing actually. so I thank both of you so so much :highfive:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Thanks for the kind words but I really only began any development for this phone a month or so ago, there is a much longer line of people who deserve praise more than me for their contributions.

Ricandroid has put out 5, probably more, ROMs in the past few months and is continuing more great work.

I also found this phone super cheap and had to get it and I'm glad we got another user in this forum. Its sad to see the value of these phones drop so much but I have a feeling if big things happen soon the price for a used sidekick won't drop any further for a while!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Sorry for disappearing....I got incredibly sick from the flu and I'm still kind of messed up. I'll be back soon.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ndiy:
Yeah, i know, when I was here 2 years ago, there's a long line of people who deserve praise for their contributions. Previously, I never post a comment or compliment for the devs, I'm just download and using their works, becoz I thought there are many of other users who will do such things. :p

But seeing an old phone sub-forum like SK4G like this, with so little activity, and there are some devs like you and RicAndroid who still care to develop this phone without big crowds, and even only one or two people who actually write and show some appreciation for both of you guys, I'm moved, and can't do nothing but say thanks. :angel:

About the SK4G price, I don't it will drop any further, since it's already hit the rock bottom, lol. It's sad though, since Sidekick reigned supreme as a stylish / smartphone even before Blackberry, Android, or Apple. :D

No problemo at all, Man, just take your time~ We have all the time in the world, no rush. :victory:

Anyway, FYI, just for showing some appreciation, before downloading this ROM, I'm using your awesome neXus JB v1.3.1 ROM ;)

But becoz it's using ICS camera instead of the stock camera, I can't use the front cam, so I flashed this ROM without full wipe, and hoping it went well, and thank God, it is, lol. I'm too lazy to reinstall all my apps. :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
I hope you feel better soon! It has been great to see the recent uptick in activity on this board here!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] theUsualSuspexx:

Nexus JB is a great ROM, runs smooth and quite pretty. Right now this is a work in progress and for the time being i would suggest sticking with what you have. Im making some headway on some new projects for this phone, and hopefully wont be much longer before i can come back to this. RicAndroid has been ill but it sounds like he will be back soon too!

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] digimancer:
How fast is it?

Hey Ric,

My girlfriend is currently running your Nexus JB rom, and while a very nice looking rom, it is painfully slow at times and the Navigation crashes more often than usual. I just started reading up on ODV2 as the fastest SK4G rom and then saw you just released this one. I am wondering what kind of speed and response you or other people are getting from this rom?

The main slow downs are: incoming calls, returning to the home screen, and Navigation (either randomly closing or forced reboot)

Also should note, that she always keeps her apps up to date... Not sure if that could be the culprit.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mjsell2:
Ric has been going thru some unfortunate things, or so I have gathered from post. This rom is not yet at daily driver status yet. I personally didn't have slow-down issues with the jb-rom, but am running the cm version just because I like the look better.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
Yes ric is going through a lot an may not be here to update stuff for a bit

I didn't have ay slow down issues maybe you need to odin your phone (wipe all that nasty stuff out of the nuoks an crannys an make it fresh an new c:

But the nexus roms are the best right now with performance speed an slimed down a lot I recommend the nexus jb as it is the most updated an with a nice ui c:

Ill try to update my battery zips soon to fit the new build so only the battery changes
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djkmito:
not working for me

I tried it but absolutely not working for me. No 3rd party apps installed, no system apps removed, themes in wizard crashing...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
Hummm maybe your root is faulty? Or you didn't change the system mount

Go to cwm factory reset then wipe everything go to mounts an un mount system then go to the install zip . Install then pick what you want go to advance menu after an fix permissions

Now reboot should work if not go back to cwm an go to mounts an click system an install same zip (don't wipe this time)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djkmito:
it freeze on extract /data/app/com.androi.../filemanager.apk now
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Hi, been busy with lots of other projects and ricandroid is as well. Could you post your aroma log here (use pastebin or code wraps) so we can determine your issue? Also which version are you flashing
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
If you odin then you have to keep trying its werid
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djkmito:
How can I get aroma log if installation freeze? Or where is the log?

I use version 5.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djkmito:
I don't use odin
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
The freezing is strange, do you have red voodoo recovery? Try only flash ROM by itself, then go back to aroma and flash any mods/apps

And by version I meant are you flashing the build from the second page 1.1.7?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djkmito:
I install v5 from first page and it's same problem as post #19. I go to try v5_1.1.7
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Yup that's the one to use until all other issues are fixed
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] zero172:
Really? Ive been using this rom since it was released 4/15 and ive been running smooth except for two minor issues

1.) When ever i restart my phone the lockscreen ends up showing the "Slide up to start" or "slide down to setup"

2.) Once and a while my notification light one come on if im texting repeatedly that also goes for the ringer too

suggestions:

Preview select for the boot animations when installing via aroma

Ability to disable the trackball scrolling.

(Mine has the weird tendency to think im scrolling when im walking outside and walk into a shadow)

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SgtMac02:
Just thought I'd pop in and give my thanks to the few devs that are still working on this dinosaur. You guys rock! Your efforts are appreciated.

Also to ask if there is any progress on making this a stable and daily use ROM since the last few comments seem to imply that I shouldn't plan on this being quite THAT stable yet...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
Ric doesn't have a sidekick anymore.

Demkantor I believe resigned from making this into a daily rom as its a lot to do an is most likly waiting for gb to have keybored working.
