For those interested in my current ROM, here you go.
Notes:
MD5Sum ff713c7f13afb3db4ce26a51a487940d
Weighs in at 62 meg
No bootloader, boot splash or radio included.
I recommend radio 1.58.25.17
With above radio, first gps fix took 1.5 minutes
Removed all the AT&T junk software & games, jbed, RealPlayer
Removed MS Office apps (I only use/accept ISO Standard docs like PDF)
Enabled HSDPA & Icon , no service icon problems (no X)
Left AT&T service settings
Left in MS Voice Command since its hard to find
Vers 1.6.19214 MSVC works better than 19209 on this rom
No HTC Home, use a cab if you like it so much
Screen doesn't turn off when you wake it up like other ROMs
16meg page pool
Removed Themed dialer skins (I use the non themed dialer)
So far all my apps & SIPS work (iGo8)
Internet works consistent on AT&T, even when set to disconnect after 1min
Bluetooth file xfers work fine, just reboot phone after you pair first
I just realized that "Show SIM Contacts" has stayed disabled, cool!
Graphics benchmark: 1588.25*
Known Issues:
File system cache is disabled by default
Security is not disabled (you get the not certified warning)
Install KaiserTweak or AdvancedConfig to adjust above settings
Its the best** ROM I've used to date.
Use HTC Rom Image Editor to add or remove files to your liking.
4Shared Download
Ps: V1-V3 were failures
* I didn't really benchmark the graphics.
** Best: Meaning everything works decently, not as fast feeling as L26Vx Roms though.
Tip:
Heres a setting that I'm starting to enjoy: I set my data connection timeout to 1 minute using AdvancedConfig (Schaps), then set the "Connection Established" notification to sound a "bink" (Quietest) AND my email is set to retrieve every 15 minutes. That gives me an audible indicator that email is being checked, and to expect a possible voice announcement. Also, when I don't hear the "bink" I know now that I left an app like Opera 9.5 running, which keeps the data connection alive, consuming more power. Its like a heartbeat to let me know that I'm running optimal.

Downloading now. Let you know what I think. I'm a big fan of lite roms.
I dont normally post requesting anything, I just search and find it myself, but.......I cannot find the radio you are using. I've looked everywhere I can think of, and cannot find 1.58.25.27.
Thanks

Thanks, but I've found the NEON radio 1.58.25.17.
But he posted about 1.58.25.27. And I've seen several different posters with 1.58.25.27 in they're sigs, so I figured it couldnt be a typo. Is there a 1.58.25.27?

Fast ROM! The only "bug" I've encountered, and it's more of a customization thing, is that the security is not disabled (you get the not certified warning), therefore my UC did not run correctly. So now I've installed all my apps, and sync'ed with exchange, and everything is running great.
I dont use HTC Home, but SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 is running as fast as ever.
I'll probably stick with this for awhile.
Thanks for your time!

Busted! Yep, I think I copied/created the same typo that everyone else did early on during the frenzied excitement of ATW disclosing that the radio worked. My device information applet clearly says 1.58.25.17.

After running so many cooked ROMs, I was startled by the warnings at first. Then I realized, man, I have to play catchup and create an archive of tweaks to apply to new factory ROMs. So I let it go in hopes I can find a bunch of other useful tweaks, which, if we collect here (before 19215) I'll make a new version of this ROM.
FWIW, I favor lite ROMs for the purpose of debugging. I'll be posting an Add-Ons package with all the apps that I install. If there were more releases done like this, folks would end up with just what they wanted.
The whole HTC Home & IGo8 bug is such a thread waster as every ROM thread deals with the same applications issue over and over. The two apps don't work together, there is no fix, get over it!
I realize some folks like the "batteries included" ROMs as it saves them (theoretically) setup time. I seem to still spend hours getting my phone just right
Where was I going with this rant? I need coffee.

Congratiolations my friend!
Didn't know you where interested in cooking.
Let me know if you need anything!

Neither did I! This ROM was born while comparing your V9b1 against the stock 19214 AND while playing with the ROM editor due to my dislike of HTC Home. It just so happened that I created a ROM that I actually liked!
I'm looking forward to running a lite version of your next ROM after the bugs are squashed, as I do enjoy the speed of your ROMS.
Long term I just plan on passing feedback to you and use your ROMs

Congratulations
Hey Roto,
Been playing with this for about 2 hours now and I am really impressed. It is a clean, fast, stable AT&T based Rom that I can customize to my liking. It is so clean and fast I don't know what to load on it
Edit: This is a keeper

Thats funny you said that, as I had the same feeling. I ran it for a day before loading a lot of my apps just to see how it worked. Now I'm being picky about what to load
Benchmark
Roto- Thanks for taking the time to cook this rom.
Does iGo work? just kidding!
Don't know how you feel about benchmarks and I do not believe anyone has posted a 19214 bmark other than the vid-only gxmark (1588 anyone?)- Anyone attempt a more comprehensive test like SBP benchmark on this rom yet?

Exactly! I've gotten zippo out of comparing the benchmarks. When someone does shoehorn in new graphics drivers, then we'll see the big jump. As far as OS benchmarks, its pretty much bound by the cpu speed and whether theres any other apps running. +/- %5 isn't even discernible. I read once that in order to notice a performance change, the factor has to be equal to/greater than 2x.
I love this. No HTC Home crap. I always disable it to put in WP and cnetx face contacts.
I'd run SPB benchmark, but it apparently requires a windows computer. I'm content in saying it feels frickin snappy.
YO! Did you disable the file system cache? Copying WP themes and icon packs is taking forever.

The only tweak I made was to enable HSDPA. If file system cache is disabled by default, lets add that to the list of fixes to do. I didn't pay attention as I ran though AdvancedConfig to setup my own defaults.
Hey guys, I have HardSPL installed and am fairly seasoned in the cooked rom kitchen.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a good ROM? I know that mostly all of them have something good to offer. I was using NATF's 4.3 and now 4.5 but after lag issues and the like, I've chosen to use a new ROM, the Elite Project RC3.
Lets see how this turns out, as I remember reading somewhere that the EPRC3 ROM was notable for its speed. Speed is very important to me lol. I don't like seeing my texts type themselves in 30 seconds after I did it on the keyboard. And sometimes music just won't play or something and its very annoying, other times wifi doesn't work accordingly, things take long to load up, its rare for me to even browse the Touch Flo 3d, like swipe my finger from "home" to "programs" without some lag...on 4.3 this was not a problem but on NATF 4.5 it is.
I don't use GPS, I don't really use much of anything that sets this phone apart lol.
All I do is:
*Browse the web using Opera/Skyfire
*Youtube
*Text
*Phone calls
*Music player (Don't have an iTouch anymore...)
* Wifi (Don't have a 3g/data plan
* play some of the games and use some onboard memory.
* Take pictures/videos and the like.
I don't really use much of those programs that are their (Save a few) and I would love to have the option to be able to call and text via an internet connection rather than the phone's signal, since my school gets no reception but has wifi all over hte place.
Basically, I want all that I use, or most of it, with fast responsiveness. I disliked all the AT&T crap too and don't want that back...
Right now Elite Project is working pretty good, an upgrade from NATF which was giving me issues. I appreciate all the work put into the ROMS though.
Can you please recommend me a ROM to suit my needs?

Anyone got any idea how to restore this to factory OTB settings? I basically want to turn it on and see it as a new phone again and set it up all over again... I'm too new for android for the sales rep to throw me in it like a toddler at a public pool
Settings -> SD & Phone Storage -> Factory data reset
alright next question!
Is there a wiki that can teach me or introduce me to android in a simpler manner? Like how to become a power user with customization and such? I AM SO EXCITED =P
Hmm...
I think most of us have learned Android by trying everything until something breaks.
On just about every screen in every app, I try the menu button and try long-pressing things to see what type of context menus I get. If you don't do anything to root your phone (like using Visionary) then you really can't break anything.
For extreme customizations you would have to wait anyway since there aren't any custom ROMs our for mT4G yet. But, you can go as far as putting a different launcher onto the phone like Launcher Pro or ADW (but I really like the HTC Sense customizations so I'm sticking with stock on that one).
I think you've already found the best Android resource now that you are reading XDA. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you want - just try a search first so you don't get flamed. LOL
I also read the T-Mobile mT4G forum regularly but that generally covers the less sophisticated types of questions if you know what I mean.
Good luck and have fun!

I have a sanding vibrant which is much easier to use because it's on 2.1 as opposed to 2.2. I will trade it for your 4g if it's really driving u nuts. ; )

I've heard ADW - what is a custom launcher? can I use multiple or revert back to the original without many issues?
Also I'm a power google voice user (been using it since closed grand central beta) and power Google Sync user, when I'm first setting up this MT4G if I just put in my gmail account information in the default email will it setup a full ActiveSync/Push Calendar/contact/email setup or do I need to set it as an activesync/exchange like I did on the iphone for it to work properly?
IMO LauncherPro is the best launcher, it gives you a lot of cool customizations. And you can revert to the stock launcher at anytime.
If you log into your phone with your gmail account it will push/sync all your info.
Hello,
I was wondering if there was an Android app like Activator on the iPhone? I have searched to the best of my abilities regarding this question but have not found a clear answer. The closest I have come to finding this answer was the app "LaunchKey." However, it does not seem to fit what I am looking for.
Reason for this search is due to my brief episode with the iPhone 3g and yes I know...(after finding out, android system is definitely better in terms of customizing and freedom) Thus during that time I came upon this app called "Activator", which is basically amazing. Now that I am back using the android system I realized the only I miss about the iPhone was that app.
So if anyone can help that would be great! Thanks!
BTW:
Background information on the iPhone jailbreak app "Activator." Basically you can launch any apps and system actions via gestures or hardware buttons. (such as long-press, short-press, double tap,etc...)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
and for gestures Im not entirely sure where I saw it or or what it was called but it does exist.
Reply
Thanks for the reply, however, I did stumble upon that app but it does not really support long press, short press, double tap and other various hardware buttons. As for gestures, I guess it does not matter as much as the hardware button configuration. Basically can a button have more functions than just one ie: home button-going to home. Thanks
I'm hoping that this app exists, as its one of the first apps I discovered years ago that was auto installed after jail breaking my previous iPhone. The app basically allows you customize a very large range of settings as shortcuts.

not strongly related but here's an app which I found very useful:

Thanks for your input I however have found the app "SwipePad" to be extremely useful, albeit not the original application I was looking for but it does the job Thank you again!

Widgets are great but you still have to unlock the phone and look at the screen and press it. With activator you can, for example, press the power button of the phone twice and that will initiate the flash light... this is much better when you are in need of the flash light quickly...I wish android had something like that...

I believe since the time I have posted this question to the present, there have been alternatives as well as actual implementations to the hardware tweaks. Currently, there are baked in hardware tweaks in custom ROM such as CM10.1 (lock screen long press buttons do variety of different things) or software programs such as swipepad, or Trigger app (Both of which I use a lot)
My current ROM CM10.1 has the capability of accessing the flashlight from the longpress of home button while in lockscreen. Or even changing music volume and music track by volume press/longpress. This I consider the equivilent of what you were referring to.

I already root my Stock Rom with Rooting using Odin by Beginners Guide
3) So would I be able to install CM10.1 after rooting my custom Rom
4) If possible also please point me(url) to unroot custom Rom to Stock Operating system please (for future need).
5) And also I heard a lot about cm10, cm10 nightly, cm10 aopk which one is better or all these same ? I have international Note 2 with
GT- N7100 > 4.1.2 > Baseband : N7100DDDMG1 > Build no : JZ054K.N7100XXDMG1 > Kernel V: 3.0.31-1071214

**ATTENTION: any of the information I have provided are based on my own experience/knowledge/research. IT IS IMPERATIVE(important) that you do your own research to double check my information and advice. If ever in DOUBT, ask/research around. (or dont follow through is usually the safest option) YOU are ultimately responsible for what you do with YOUR device, if you don't believe this, please do not continue dabbling in this area.
You should be able to do that, to "unroot" your phone, but it depends on the device as well as the instructions that other developers/rooters have given. (meaning not 100% probable, you need to do more research)
*JUST NOTICED YOU SAID YOU ARE ROOTED
-To get Stock ROM, just download the appropriate ROM zip files and then flash it.
-if you want to get warranty back, you will have to follow instructions for your device on how to unroot. (if even possible)
Follow the instructions given on the cyanogenmod website, usually involves flashing and wiping. (sounds like you have a samsung phone )
Based on question 3 statement, I believe you have to do MORE research. (as this is an extremely basic idea of rooting, unless of course I misread or the question was mistyped) Here is where you can start:CM about
Again, you have to do MORE research yourself, google is your friend for that. There is no one size fits all unrooting method.
Cyanogenmod (also known as CM) has an software release life cycle. (not counting the M snapshot nor experiments) You have Stable>Nightly> Release Candidates(RC).
Taken from this Forum
bassmadrigal:
Stable is after all the features desired by the CM devs have been put in and the code has been tested. Snapshots (M builds) are builds done roughly once a month that has had some testing to make sure things are mostly working and released to the public. These are the first builds that allow official bug reports on the project manager site, https://jira.cyanogenmod.org. Nightlies are automated builds that are built, well, every night. There is no human interaction with these and they are largely there just to see if the code added throughout the day will compile. As far as the devs are concerned, there are no bad builds with the nightlies, because if it doesn't build, that is news to let them know that something is screwed up in the code. They don't accept any bug reports on these builds.
Generally, the nightly builds, while extremely experimental and considered bleeding-edge, tend to be relatively stable and mostly bug-free. Many people use the nightlies as their so-called daily-driver, meaning that any bugs that they may have aren't so severe that they want to switch to a different version. For my Nexus 4, as soon as I got it I switched to a nightly build and haven't had any bugs pop up.
Also, all builds are full builds, so if you switch to a nightly, you aren't required to flash every single nightly. You can do it as you see fit. I've been known sometimes to flash a build every day, but then I've gone a month in between updating. Just grab the latest version you want to flash and flash that one.

Given under my hand this 12th day of August 2011, I hereby post a bounty of $100 for a ROM build for the Samsung/T-Mobile Sidekick 4G (AOSP?) that functions, and will allow me to sync e-mail from Exchange @ work.
I) This will have to have a non-Touchwiz/Samsung Dialer (contacts in same window, not open a new one, like on Droid1 [Vanilla?]), and not have any of the Bull known to be associated with the WHACKNESS that is typically seen on this phone with Stock.
II) It will be running Launcher Pro, so must work as such.
III) Another requirement is that when a page is loading, and you scroll at the same time, the BS Checkers are not showing (I think this is TouchWiz/Samsung specific, so shouldn't be a problem), if I wanted the checkers when scrolling, I'd have an iPhruity device.
IV) As staed above it will have to pull e-mail from an e-mail app (email.apk?) from MS Exchange server from the drop down notification without a FC.
*EDIT*:
V) Calendar must allow multiple notifications (from the app), and actually notify as such.
*/EDIT*
*MUCHO EDITO*
VI) PATTERN Lockscreen must be the only one. Not doubled. (No Shade lockscreen 1st if pattern is enabled, I need the pattern!)
*/MUCHO EDITO*
I am hoping this is kosher to post a bounty, but I detest TouchWiz, Samsung's dialer (phone.apk), etc.
I am looking to get something like Cyanogen's Vanilla builds.
I haven't coded anything since Borland's/MS C for DOS, so I cannot do this myself.
Hopefully I can get some takers, and they can better this phone for the community.
I assume the source is out there, just need to be compiled. Several ROMs are very good, but all have Samsung's TouchWiz elements, seeking to avoid that.
Thank you for your time!
i like that you're going at! i know that if you use oprea mobile browser you dont get the bs checker boarding. its a very good browser check it out
sduvick is working on a stock dialer i believe its on his long list of work!
also he is trying to port cm6 which is helpful
im sure someone can get this working and will be easier if we get a gingerbread leak.
We can't get a AOSP Vanilla ROM there are no leak's of gingerbread so we can't get anything beside's TouchWiz but if i was you try out my ROM "Light'ning ROM V2" It has the vanilla feeling .

This phone is really crippled, even with the AWESOME Custom ROMs posted here, and MANY are VERY good.
The issue is features that were not thought about when Samsung screwed up their TouchWiz version of Android for this phone. Calender not able to add multiple notifications, or not notifying via the 1st one if two were added prior (via gmail or a functional phone), Phone.apk not having built-in Contacts section, etc.

im sure someone can get this working and will be easier if we get a gingerbread leak.

We can't get a AOSP Vanilla ROM there are no leak's of gingerbread so we can't get anything beside's TouchWiz but if i was you try out my ROM "Light'ning ROM V2" It has the vanilla feeling .

It too is very good, but the dialer is still without the built-in contacts that is VERY efficient, and the calender is still touchwiz crippled.
I was late to an appointment due to this and the mentioned ROM.

he didnt say it has to be GB, just AOSP. and Sduvick has quite some projects on his hands atm but an AOSP build is definitely one of them

Nice, I am treading very badly right now!
Are there better leaks with MotoPhones or something?
Those came out all the time, solid and fully featured.
(FYI: Currently running your TouchMIUIwiz v2.0 ROM, 'Tis very nice.)
I would gladly drop the $75 for a new T-Mobile phone with a larger screen (since I am in my 30 Day trial for a few more days) but no other QWERTY w/dedicated number phones avail, and the stock on those will probably have the same issues...
Sduvick is building CM6 / 2.2 i herd , but i doubt that'll be any time soon cause he's busy with other thing's prob .

Lol i just said that.. CM6 is an AOSP build
We can get AOSP, it will just be AOSP 2.2.
This just jumped to the top of my list, I shall begin the challenge as soon as my Kernel finishes compiling.
As far as your list goes, let me make sure that I've got everything figured out:
I) This will have to have a non-Touchwiz/Samsung Dialer[\QUOTE]
This shouldn't be an issue, as an AOSP build will have the AOSP dialer, rather than Touchwiz.
II) It will be running Launcher Pro, so must work as such. [\QUOTE]
I use Launcher Pro myself, wouldn't dream of letting anything release without it working.
III) Another requirement is that when a page is loading, and you scroll at the same time, the BS Checkers are not showing (I think this is TouchWiz/Samsung specific, so shouldn't be a problem), if I wanted the checkers when scrolling, I'd have an iPhruity device.[\QUOTE]
I'll have to check in with you when I get it built to see what that part is doing, I'm not familiar with this, but I'm guessing it would be fixed by AOSP
IV) As staed above it will have to pull e-mail from an e-mail app (email.apk?) from MS Exchange server from the drop down notification without a FC. [\QUOTE]
Should work, if I remember correctly it worked right in AOSP
*EDIT*:
V) Calendar must allow multiple notifications (from the app), and actually notify as such.
*/EDIT*[\QUOTE]
If this works in AOSP, it should work, never tested I suppose, but could be wrong.
*MUCHO EDITO*
VI) PATTERN Lockscreen must be the only one. Not doubled. (No Shade lockscreen 1st if pattern is enabled, I need the pattern!)
*/MUCHO EDITO*[\QUOTE]
there won't be any doubled, pattern should be no issue. (Misread that the first time, thought you wanted puzzle :])
let me know if you had anything else on your mind you wanted in it.
too lazy to fix quotes

I've been wanting to do this for quite some time as well. The only issue is being a full time student without a job makes putting up any sort of "bounty" just for some improvements is not possible.
However, I do have some spare cash and will toss all of it towards whoever breaks out an AOSP rom.
Good luck.
Meanwhile, me being a fulltime student who wants to get married, any extra payday sounds incredibly enticing ;]
Just to clarify, I want it as close to AOSP as possible.
Then, from that point, as much of it to work in landscape (EG: lockscreen) as possible.
And of course, any improvements like supercharge, voodoo, and so on.
I say improvements because I want just that. No changes.
I figure specifics aren't too important, because I can always tweek it from there or ask for what I'm not capable of.
Current unallocated money in my bank is just over 15$ xD
But with you already making the AOSP ROM, I figure it won't take too much effort from you.
I'm excited :3
Well, compiling AOSP, rather than just making an AOSP rom is very different. making an AOSP rom is just a matter of theming some things and pulling certain apps, where compiling an AOSP rom is more like building a kernel, where you have to compile the system from the source.
Whenever I see or use the words "AOSP ROM" it's always related to a ROM that is built entirely from the source code. Unless otherwise specified.
AOSP themed stuff, and AOSP apps are of course, just that. But when I say AOSP ROM, I mean a true AOSP ROM.
If there's something I'm missing, please let me know!
That's what I'm working on, theming is lame anyways, doesn't do what you really want it to. but because I have to compile it and screw with the source it may take a bit, it's my current project though and I'm starting now.
I am not sure if this helps but I have a non-rooted phone and hae "Go Contacts EX" (Contact Manager and LANDSCAPE Phone dialer) & "Business Calendar Free" (Calendar Replacemets - more like Google Calendar for Desktop Web)
These are much more feature-rich than the stock apps.
