Wow, never thought that aroma installer would be applied with the sidekick

Wanted to make a Aroma Package myself, but the lack of time and knowledge didn't made it possible

Demkantor, I'm definitely interested in getting a fully Aroma package for the Sidekick

I would be brilliant because of all the hard work of all the devs themers, that have been there for the sidekick, would be used in your 'own personal' Rom

What Aroma Installer does : you install a Rom by choosing yourself the kernel, launcher, apps, bloatware, everything by choosing out of a list. Of course depends of what is included in the package!

edit : for all the devs out there, thank you for helping to keep the Sidekick alive.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
I'll be using this at a later time, dude. For now, I'm excited to announce that I have finally fixed the Jump key bug....on my own, BTW. So, now....anyone here have any other comparisons with GOV you want to throw my way? ;)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
All right since you guys want it ill try to find some time tonight or tomorrow to build a more expanded one, I have some ideas in mind but it would be nice to know what you all are looking for too
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
All right since you guys want it ill try to find some time tonight or tomorrow to build a more expanded one, I have some ideas in mind but it would be nice to know what you all are looking for too

And good work ricandroid, id love to see what you'd make with an aroma installed rom!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
Did I motivate you to fix it Ric? And let me know when you apply it to the other ROMs so I can update NexusCM
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
You sure did....lol. I dug through the whole framework until I found what was wrong. There were entries in the recent_apps_dialog.xml and recent_apps.icon.xml that were not correct.

Oh, and I already updated CM.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
You updated CM with the jump key fix?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Yes.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
You should add customizations like the status bar stuff like green wifi signal usb ect

The lockscreen mods ? But by them selfs so it don't take over a tab in settings

Full fonts that have all the characters

Font sizes? (For this I have seen font size (for root users) works but its paid for an beta)

hummm the background of notification center?

Animations like opening a app it will flip or slide in or something

These are just ideas that I could think of at the moment
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Those are great ideas but by in large they would need to be ROM dependent as they would be editing the systemui.apk, like status_bar.xml files and the like

But there are some things of this sort that could be done in any ROM, no matter the base so I'll see what I can come up with.

Maybe when I get some more time I'll build a ROM with these types of things implemented so for now hopefully ricandroid or someone working on ROMs may take this up....

Anyway I'll post another package shortly, don't have time to add in everything I would like to but that just means I'll have to keep going!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
ok new aroma! check second post, this is a much larger package (over twice the size of the last) so i dint get a change to test everything, if anyone is will to run a few tests i would be very appreciative

as always, Happy Flashing!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
ive been busy lately and havent had more than a few moments at a time in front of a computer and it may be a few more days or so until i can add more to the package, especially being that i want to rewrite the script to make it even more user friendly.

but i have been dinking around with the sidekick a bit more lately and decided to look into adding linux swap to see how well the phone responds as after searching these threads i found no one seems to use it, ever.

Using one of the neXus roms i tried every method i could think of to enable swap but no go, so i finally flashed the rom that everyone talks about gov2 and got it working right away, seems some packages may be missing from epic sk4g roms, havent dug deeper into this but this is as it appears.

well initial tests on gov2 seemed shotty, so i turned it off and realized it was just the rom that was shotty, my guess is i had a bad download or a bad wipe as everyone else love it, but i was to lazzy to pull a logcat and do any debugging and i happened to find this lonely gem ad_vitam (why only three posts?)

this has the same base just tweaked, and man does it fly, best rom by far that ive put on this phone! been testing both with and without swap and multitasking is feeling quicker but im not sure if its just placebo or not yet, ill still need to test some more.

also im thinking of maybe trying zram or compcache (same thing really) but back in my good ol g1 days i was never a huge fan, but i do like to test stuff...

now that i mention g1, i remember the craze when jit was first enabled to donut roms and it made the phone like three times faster! i think anything froyo and up has jit turned on by default but dont quote me on that... ill have to do some more digging when i get time.

anyway... long post when i could have been working on something tangible... blah... let me know if anyone wants to test swap so we can have more then just me using it, if its deemed good ill add the option in aroma
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
I'll be willing to test swap on mine.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
great, so open a terminal on your phone and type

free

you will swap listed but all zeros

su
swapon dev/block/vold/179:3

then check again your free command

you will of course need a swap partition on your sd card, i have a 256 on mine but that is way too much, just being lazy and will change to 96 or 128 later

you can set this up in recovery or with gparted

now if you want to change your swappiness value

echo 40 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

i believe default is 60 the above code makes it 40, try maybe 80 as well,

want to test a bunch of different ways just to make sure things are actually an improvement

so all of the above can also be done through adb shell if you prefer to use a computer rather than the phone

none of the above is set permanent, just rebooting your phone will change everything back to they way it was

thanks for testing!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
^^^^^forgot to mention it may be easier for some to add swap in adb shell

also a note i moved to a 128 swap partition and im thinking this is good, been dinking alot with my phone lately so i cant say for sure, still need to test a bit longer if swap helps or not

anyhow i never have enough time to do all i want, but i figured ill release what i have now as i dont know when ill get a chance to later,

so new aroma build up in post 2!

havent tested yet cause im lazy... er busy... so id appreciate a tester or two

happy flashing!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
I think the paid version of RAM Manager Pro has a setting for this. I love using it on my Sidekick. The jury is still out on swap. It seems like the swap just would keep filling up and I'm not sure anything is running any faster.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Well its not so much a speed gain just better multi tasking, so when you initially open an app it sits in fake memory waiting to be launched. Helps cut down on launcher redraws etc. I'm don't use it on most phones and the only time I ever felt I needed it is with sense ROMs, but I do a lot of multitasking so I figure its worth testing our
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
so like i said my phone is a bit jacked now from my own doing, i wont be testing any more aroma packages for a while at least until i get a chance to fix it. so i uploaded a test build, well all should work fine but i couldnt flash at all right now... long story but i explained a bit in post above.

anyhow feel free to test it and if there are issues i can still fix it.

i hope to be up and running again soon, i feel i have devoted a fair amount of time to this phone as of late so i hope you all understand if im absent for a while

as alaways,

Happy Flashing!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
Just make sure you keep nandroid before messing with stuff it saved me a few time (:

you should also make seperate guides as its just a lot of reading xD
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Yeah there are so many guides and I like hiding stuff from people :)

Yeah a nandroid wouldn't have saved me for what I'm doing, going past all the security flags on the device as rooting with busy box won't completely free this phone I'm finding out. Never used Samsung devices before so its a learning curve

But yeah nandroids are a must so good advice as people often forget!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
I did not forget about this. I am in danger of losing my job and spent the last few days submitting resumes. I am now in bhundven territory.

Why is it that people that work on Sidekick 4G are either unemployed or in danger of being?....anyway, give memore time, guys.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Damn I'm gunna quit this phone now!

NA, ill stick around and chance it, best of luck to you, we all appreciate your work here and hope your work will appreciate you the same!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
well I posted new update (see second post)

wasnt planing on this until i work out the kinks in this and Glorious Overdoes V5

but i saw some looking for keymapping which is included here

probably wont release another until i get a chance to figure out my issues, but for

now all should work, occasionally if flashing multiple things an error will occur and end the install

this is only occasional so its frustrating to troubleshoot but if you something wont install,

flash again only installing this one piece

Happy Flashing!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ndiy:
Demkantor, I have an idea (it's a request, actually ;p) something to add to your aroma installer : the battery mod. :D

I really like the circle battery mod, the one that ayoteddy's using in smooth maximus X, this is the screenshot from my old SK4G :

or like this one :

or the speedometer one :

or you can make your own style. :fingers-crossed:

Here's the reference thread for you to look up should you be interested :

[MOD]Battery Mods! >> it's from EVO 3D sub-forum.

Thanks in advance~
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Being many of these roms are similar it is possible but I couldn't promise it would brake other themes as it still would be rom specific, but your not the only person to request this type of stuff so ill see what I can do!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
here ya go!

need a brake from my other projects so i figured i could whip this one up quick

ok no promises this will brake anything else in the rom you are running

right now i think my phone was on ad vitamin i think... but like i said so many of

these roms have the same base so something like this should work in most

but of course it may brake other things... so do a nandroid first to test

i only did the honeycomb icon and return to stock

If you really want others ill make more and if people can confirm they work on

many different roms ill make an addition to aroma, but for now just flash the attached zips through recovery

Happy Flashing!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ndiy:
wow, that was fast. okay, I'll download and try 'em.

will report here right after I know the result, thanks Demkantor. :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Sounds good let me know! Yeah I mean they only take like 10 min to make but I only want to make them if people will use them, these arent for me they're for you guys so if they work and you want more I'd be happy to make them!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
hey man i had an idea you know how you cant make a flashable .zip for every rom for wifi and signal

why not go off the gov 5 and make themes for that so theres no need for other pre themed roms

it wouldnt just save time redownloading all the apps after changing roms but would make it where you can just flash and wa-la you have a new theme

i know they use to do it on kg2 because the threads show each theme that was ported over to this phone it would save time less threads about roms

so instead of 10 different roms downloaded on your sdcard you would have one and that one would have almost a universal theme where it can be changed any time by flashing a new one

and since it is only going to be for one rom all the files would be the same except the .png so there wouldnt be any mistakes or editing something that shouldnt have
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
that would be ideal but themeing takes a lot of time, i mean quick things like status bar mods are no big thing but a true fully themed rom is a lot of work. id say if ricandroid were to put multiple themes together that would be awesome and i could help him add it to the theme changer built in to these roms if needed.

this would bypass aroma altogether which would be ideal. If i get a chance i wouldnt mind adding a setting in settings for other mods, like for battery icons and the like, again this would bypass aroma so you would go to settings>mods>battery style like in other roms people make.

This of course is a bit extra work but if my other projects dont hold me up too much id be happy to do it, but first i need to find the issues with GOV5 and aroma... damn kids wont play nice together!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ndiy:
it works, perfectly fine on Glorious Overdose V5~

I just flashed it through CWM and hit fixed permissions (I don't know whether it's relevant or not, I do it just in case :p)

Here's my new screenshot (I'm at GMT+7, so it's already friday here :D)

Once again, super thanks, Demkantor, you rock !
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
yeah of course! the permissions should be set on install, dosent hurt but not needed.

just responded in your other thread about the clock...

hey my phone is going to be down for a while, will someone see how well this works on the sidekick

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2113150

im curious as i didnt find the seeder mods to work magic on any of my phone but others did,

and here there is similarities to that here but with some added extras... would be gracious if there were some testers...

What are you looking for in here? Go check the thread for me!

Edit

wow... This is my 3000th post... and here i always complain about time constraints :p
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ndiy:
I've test the zip, it works perfectly fine also~ well, I didn't notice the speed, but the adblocker's fine, lol.

No bootloop, fc, and whatsoever, so yeah, it's safe to flash or add to your script :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Thanks for testing, I'd like to see if it will have any improvements before adding though, I hope to test it myself once my phone is back up as well but if anyone else can too that would be great!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ndiy:
well, just yesterday I found a phone that I interested in, Cherry Mobile Omega HD, since it has backside illuminated (BSI) sensor 12mp camera, so than I'm searching the thread in here, and found it.

what was I'm trying to tell you is this :

is that the same crossbreeder with your previous link? the custom rom creater suggested to uninstall the crossbreeder for much better battery, so I'm guessing the crossbreeder drain battery that much, no? :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
i havent had a chance to test it myself yet as my sidekick is unavailable right now, but as many of these type of mods go people swear one way and others another.

i hope to find enough people to do real world examples to know if people like it or not

but yeah im not surprised if some find it to give worse battery life... but in the thread some claim its better... oh well!

and according to

http://www.techlokal.com/2013/04/03/review-cherry-mobile-omega-hd-720p-android-jelly-bean-phone/

this phone has real poor battery life. might make the extremes show easier though as what effects battery life may be more obvious
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ndiy:
lol, that phone just lasts for 4 hours on 2100mAh battery :eek:

same here, I don't have my sidekick right now, so I can't tell the difference, but the 1st day I flashed it, my phone went normal, no sudden battery drop whatsoever.

anyway, about Omega HD, i'd still want it for I don't know any other phone with BSI sensor camera. But still, I can't find a place where to buy it with international shipping, haha :D

I followed your guide 100% but when I get to step 18, it still boots into stock recovery.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Step 19 is where you get the orange clockwork so this is normally, I'll be away on honeymoon for the next few weeks so although I will have my mobile I will be mostly absent from here, hopefully someone else can jump into help....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
Ill try to come on every now an then help out around
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azeem40:
Well, I flashed successfully, but when the phone rebooted, there was a robotic lady who said "Convert data partition; system's not available, so I had to odin back to stock. However, after doing so, I rerooted my phone and, root explorer would not let me mount as rw or let me paste the recovery file onto /system/bin/. Superuser wouldn't grant permissions, so I reflashed stock and tried rooting again and the same thing happened. Idk what is going on. Is my phone unflashable now?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Could be an issue with your emmc but I doubt it, do you see superuser app after each time you rooted? If not then you didn't root, if so then go into the app and see what it says about permissions
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azeem40:
Yes; each time I root, I see superuser app.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Maybe try a full Odin with pit files (not just a one click) but be careful as if you do anything wrong with pit files you can hard brick your phone, be sure to check md5sums. Again I won't be near a computer for some time now so you'll have to search this out yourself. Easy to find in the developer section
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azeem40:
I used the full odin last time as well, and same error still.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Both Odin and hiemdall have pit file options, did you do this?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azeem40:
Thank you so much! I did exactly what you said and it worked! Now I have flashed the Glorious Overdose Rom. I have one more error I need help with. When I boot my phone, it takes almost 5 mins to boot the ice cream sandwich logo splash screen, but it goes into the phone and stuff just fine. Is it normal or do I need to try again until it is faster?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Awesome Im glad this is all cleared up! Different ROMs will have different boot times and first boot is always the longest. As dalvik builds times will most often shorten and all will be well. Just know that if you boot to red recovery all you need to do to change ROMs is wipe and then flash, no other extra worries... But making backups of the ROM is a good idea.

...oh and from all the trouble you have had you now know how to fix your soft bricks, please share and help others as people will from time to time need help like you did, this time you can teach from experience!

Happy flashing!

So, when i buyed the phone, I said to me, no root, no more play with the system folder and so on. But after a week of usage, I get the phanomen of loosing space in the Data Partition. The App Disk Usage only said "system File" are 500mb. So I rooted the Mini some minutes ago, and I must see, that Log files stored without any sense for me... So has anybody else this effect, and is here anybody who can confirm, that if I change the permissions of /system/bin/dumpstate to no execute, that I dont get any boot loop, or can I delete the apk? And that this solve my Problem. At the moment I only delete all dumpstate*.txt files. And wait until the folder get growing again...
