glad to see new roms here for the g1! even if theyre just modified version of other roms i love seeing this! keep it up - will flash when i have a spare moment
great job!!
nice...
DOWNLOAD LINK IS BROKEN!!
Cool
Nice, but I probably wont install as its another cyanogenmod base rom, which means broken movie player (where the sound and video goes messed up half way through)
Edit : Well, I might flash to do a review of it, I'm trying to get through all htc g1 roms, and give them scores.
If your planing on doing a list of rom reviews get in touch with frankdrey, he and I were starting that as well but gave up for the time being. As for cm based roms I don't have the issue on the g1, on the few I tested for video streaming. Can't recall which ones I ever had issues like that on

Hmmm, well that's strange, absolutely every rom that is cm based for me has this issue.
Its like when then video reaches a certain point, the video restarts but the sound keeps going.
Ok, I will get in touch with him. I was going to make videos for every rom, as I know that when people want to get a rom they always would like to see a video of it but sometimes can't. I know how annoying that can be. So maybe instead of me making a channel on my own we could all get together and make channel for the 3 of us, then we could all upload videos of certain roms and rate them.

Download link is working for me but @blaster44 man you should change the text color cuz is hard to read the text and background are almost the same color
Its always nice to see any development re the magic (thanks for all your work) so had to try this rom.
Easy install and nice features. I've installed ics theme and am now having reboots and launcher fc's unfortunately.

Gracias,ya encontre el link de descarga!!
downloaded and flashed.it is beautiful,but i wonder whether the apps could be installed to sd-ext.
Thanks for this great rom but I got a problem. It's laggy while scrolling between home screens, any ideas ? I've tried changing scrolling speed in ADWsettings but no luck.
And I think Play Store is too much for G1, it's slow and fc sometimes.
Everything else is fine, really fast and smooth
Edit: Enable "use 16bit transparency" in CM settings should fix it Now it's perfect !!
So jellybean has been unveiled at Google's I/o project as a minor update (4.1) given its minor status anyone think/know if we will be able to run it, there doesn't seem to be much information on the actual devices that can expect it, they did say its being given to all carriers immediately so any delays in it being pushed to the handset is your carriers fault this time , thoughts?

hows the siri rival i heard was included?
From HTC, i don't think so.. even if it would take 24 hours work to put it on our device, they won't do it
But from nk & nexx, i'm pretty sure we'll get it no questions asked, once we get our kernel sources, that is
I think the 3.0 kernel would work allright since i don't really think there are many driver-related changes, so that would work, but i'm not sure as the "project butter" thingy has some stuff goin' under the hood, so i'm not sure ;~;
HTC so far have announced they are "planning to support it across a variety of our devices". We'll have to wait for the inevitable announcements.

No way.
There'll be no Official Jelly Bean for Desire S.
As for ICS, HTC already made it clear they are doing customer a big favor in deploying the update.
And that we, the customer, are supposed to be thankful for them and not whining/complaining when the ICS update is pushed off to as late as possible.
Unless DS is lucky like DHD which luckily made it through from 2.2 to 4.0
Hmmm I can't help but envy apple's 3 product line that all get the same updates, nothing worse than knowing a perfectly capable phone won't get a minor update just to try and force u into buying a newer expensive model

Are you serious? Apple is as bad, if not worse, at fragmenting their products - and they've got no excuse for it. This is the same company that is rolling out the new Maps software, but only for the iPhone 4S, not for the iPhone 4 - there is only one reason for that, and that's to force people to upgrade.

Agree, the only difference is Apple is pretending to ship the same software to all devices, because they all got the same version number, what's even worse for my opinion than just clearly saying, you won't get it.
Additionally it's also to trick statistics, because that way it looks like there is no fragmentation, what is indeed good marketing, but pretty bad in human terms.
About jelly bean for the ds, it sure will come, but I don't think official, "only" one s/v ports (or other devices) and for sure cm and aokp.

Jelly bean differnces
Caught this from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737899 good info about JB (i keep thinking that JB is Jinger bread XD)
blockbusta said:
Hi everybody,
i'm on stock Jelly Bean with official Jelly Bean bootloader + radio and want to tell you about my experience with it (got stock ROM from the link in Rom Manager and flashed the radio and boot loader files from some topic in this forum. Locked the bootloader afterwards).
Okay let's start:
At first haven't noticed any bugs with this ROM. Also the system is way smoother compared to 4.0.4 ICS and many things that have annoyed me in 4.0.4 have been fixed.
Biggest differences between ICS and JB:
(I will add pictures later)
- Data Usage Graph is now linear, like in CM9:
- Some benchmarks are better:
- Some benchmarks are worse:
- Wi-Fi Direct has now an option menu:
- WPS-Pin is now supported:
- the account-settings are now a seperated category in the settings:
- Now there's an arrow downwards instead of the back button when the keyboard is opened:
- There is an other lockscreen animation and you can access google now from lockscreen:
- new animations:
- access google now instantly by swiping up from the home button:
- Process of adding a new word to the dictionary have been optimized:
- Developer options have been rearranged and new ones have been added:
- New Wallpapers:
- New Search-Bar:
- New Radio and Bootloader:
- New Boot-Animation:
- Homescreen objects rearrange when you add an widget automatically:
- New Google Music App:
- New Youtube App:
- New Google Maps app:
- New Voice Search app:
- Contacts with a higher resolution:
- Expandable Notifications:
- Completely redesigned nofication bar:
- New animations in gallery app
- Optimized Camera app:
- New programm-chosing-menu:
- If you want a tutorial or more information about jelly bean just write your questions here. I will update this post afterwards.
Questions:
Is google now english only? :
- No. I just asked a few questions in german. It gave me search results but I it just list sites with the answers. No knowledge graph in german. But it shows me my weather and my route to work with tiles
What happens if you enable/disable WiFi Direct for 5-10 times in a row? In ICS, after a couple of times toggling WiFi Direct the wifi driver crashed and I needed a reboot in order to make WiFi and WiFi Direct work again:
- Sorry I don't have another Wifi-Direct device to test this feature at this time.

new maps isnt really a big priority for everyone i meant more in the sense that they continued to give support to the iphone 4 in terms of new ios where as we get ics without sense 4 etc.. our product life cycle is jsut naturally shorter as there is more competition, sometimes I and alot of people probably forget while we may want a cheap cost-effective deal, for them it's a business.

True. But you don't have the right to slag of devs work and call it 'laggy' when you didn't even do anything in the development.

I have tried many ICS roms for the Desire S, and i can tell you not a single one is laggy, unless of course you are talking about Sense 4 ROMs.. but those ROMs are also very smooth, and I can really say that they are laggy..
my only complain is the incorrect inversion of FFC in AOKP/CM9.. but that is HTC's fault.. not the developers.. If you need ICS ROMs for daily driver, I can strongly recommend you IceColdSandwich 8.2 or if you need Sense 4 on top of it, take Fallout 4.4.0.. But if you think thatthose are still laggy, then probably you should get yourself a One X or SGS3.. or maybe iPhone 4S..

Yeah, i think that ics roms are pretty smooth atm, sure could be better, but... who needs more.. ? Its not like it stuck or something... (i talking about most of them, i cant talk about all of them as i didnt tryied them all)
Sense crashes on me constantly. I tried the fix suggested where you go unclick the activities setting in the development area, to no avail. Can any Cleanrom users tell me if this is problem for you (AT&T) after you rooted and installed CR on your phone?
What do you mean by crashing? Is it force closing or just reloading (get the loading circle)
If its reloading its because of HTC setting aggressive memory management.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD app
I could have worded that better - I mean to say that HTC sense, on my vanilla AT&T rom, goes down a lot, and when you press the home button, it says "loading" for upwards of 20 seconds.
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599214, however while this seems to fix it for some folks, it does not fix it for others. It's still happening to me, sadly.
I am considering returning this for a SGIII, but I got to wondering if I root it and install CleanRom, maybe that fixes the issue to, in addition to removing the AT&T bloat.

That would be the aggressive management that HTC put into the phone same reason that the browser reloads the page after you close it.
If you find a ROM that locks sense into the memory then it should solve that.
I only have the t3 hox so I can't recommend any for at&t

bumping, in case some Cleanrom users can reply. I got really frustrated yesterday - set up my screens and launcher and folders all nice, just the way I like them, nad Sense reloaded - all of a sudden, the screens I had removed were back, my icons were all over the place, and my folders were not on the home screen. Super frustrating!
Hold on, it actually goes back to default layout after reloading as well?

Almost - I had five screens again, my folders were all bumped to the last screen (so I had to move them back to the home screen before I could delete the extra screens), and a bunch of icons appeared out of nowhere, all over the place. So, it didn't go back to default but it did jack everything up.
It may be something that never comes up because most people do not remove all the extra screens.

I doubt you're going to get many replies from CleanROM users over here, since you've posted this in the international (Tegra 3) subforums and CleanROM is for S4 devices so no-one here will be using it. You'd probably get a better response asking here (or you could maybe ask a mod to shift the thread for you).

WHOOPS! Thank you for pointing it out to me!
Well hello Welcome to the correct forums xD
CleanROM has many multitasking improvements, from what I've read, so it should help quite a bit.
And if you still don't like the multitasking, AOSP based ROMs such as CM9 or AOKP have perfect multitasking (I've been able to get up to 7 apps running with AOKP)
CleanROM 4.1
Using the latest version of CleanROM on the AT&T One X, I have none of the issues that you speak of. Multitasking is night-and-day (granted that you flashed the multitasking mod in the AROMA installer), battery life is stellar, and everything is rock-solid stable.
I've never seen sense reload on me but I don't play games much. Are you a big gamer? I've been using clean rom since it was introduced.
I haven't had Sense reload on me once since flashing CleanROM a month and a half ago. I play a ton of RAM heavy games too like NOVA 3 and as I said, not once has it happened.
I mostly use the web on mine, Google Music, and a couple minor games like Words By Post and Temple Run. Thank you all for the replies, this makes me feel a bit more hopeful. I'm a bit anti-Samsung at the moment, so I am glad to hear that maybe flashing a ROM will fix my problems. I was pretty close to just returning it.

I fell in love with Sense 3 on my Evo 3D, but I think I'm over it now. I'm tired of the behemoth ROM downloads, etc.
However, I am in love with this fast focus, pic in video, etc camera that this One S has stock. What can I do ROM wise to cut the fat but keep the amazing camera? I want CM10, but the camera sucks. I understand that the camera is probably something sense framework related isn't it?

Look at the Sense-based ROMs under the development forum. You won't find anything like it in AOSP/AOKP.
Try sense based miui (there are 2 different ones, make sure you get sense based). Personally not a miui user, but sounds like what you may be looking for.

I'll try that out, normally I wouldn't but I'm intrigued on this phone. I can't imagine how sense would mesh with that.
I'm blown away by this camera though. Not to veer the thread off too far but anyone know how to do the burst mode? I found something about limit to 20 shots per second or something like that, but I can't get it to burst
Just keep holding the shutter button down and it will start bursting until you left you finger or reach the limit

Yeah I was running that for a while. Still doesn't match the speed & smoothness of JB/CM10 (IMO) but true it does give you perks from both. Good news is we get official JB within the next month, so won't have to compromise much longer :victory:
So when official One S JB comes out then cyanogenmod can have the stock camera? I've been running Trickdroid but there's no updates on that and my phone starts to run like crap after a couple weeks. Just put CM10 Back on today, and forgot no good camera.
cm10 camera can do burst mode, but it's very clunky and in the menu.

I already found out how to root it and make it look like a Nexus 7. Why not get a Nexus 7 you may ask? Lack of a microsd card slot. I'll be getting a 32 Gigger with it.
Anyway, I agree. It would be nice to see something other than Froyo on this thing. I'll be moving to AT&T later this year and getting myself either a Nexus or LG Optimus, I'm sure by that time there will some nice Key Lime Pie phones....I won't get a Galaxy after being burned by Sammy.

Still using it atleast till this xmas when I can switch carries an not have to pay 600 to remove one of 3 lines

My contract runs until Christmas, so I'm stuck with this phone. It was a decent phone for its time, but its time is way past. I can't believe T-Mo never updated it to GB. I will never buy another phone from them again.
BTW @RicAndroid thanks for continuing to put out ROMs for this phone. I guess once you get your tablet we won't see anything else for the SK4G from you, eh?
Well...I'm hoping Dizzle1 from androidforums lends a hand with creating a new kernel. If that happens, I'll release a combination of all the roms into a new version of Glorious Overdose. Ay0teddy deserves more than to have his classic rom remain in limbo.
The tablet will be just for multimedia content. Movies and ebooks look horrible on the SK4G. I only plan to root it to add Google Play and Nova Launcher.

I'm still using mine. I only got it in January. It replaced my bricked Milestone 2 for a reasonable price, I love the design and if it wasn't for Froyo I'd want for nothing else.
Unfortunately, it is stuck with Froyo and I'm getting annoyed. But:
I didn't want to fork out the big bucks for an imported Relay 4G when it had a shonky-looking keyboard.
Motorola's qwerty line stops GSM support after the Milestone 2 which is only slightly better off in the ROM department than SK4G.
And there are no other pleasant or modern QWERTY options for Australia. So here I am!
(Also I love the girly magenta and no other woman in Perth is gonna whip out a Sidekick 4G. It was never even sold in Aus. I feel special!)

I'm still using mine. I only got it in January. It replaced my bricked Milestone 2 for a reasonable price, I love the design and if it wasn't for Froyo I'd want for nothing else.
Unfortunately, it is stuck with Froyo and I'm getting annoyed. But:

Yeah, the keyboard is awesome! Froyo is not so great. Though, the biggest gripe I have with it is that I can't use Chrome on it. Otherwise, I love the phone.
OK, I'm done, no more Sidekick for me.
Yes, it's not a phone, and yes, it's a strange gaming tablet, but I guess it would fit my needs, while Sidekick would be just a phone and WiFi access point.
Hope you guys would get something better than Froyo one day. I'm out of here, goodbye.

I'm planning on doing the same thing when I get my tablet, djh. It has Jelly Bean and I already figured out how to root it.
Anyway...thanks for your contribution and take care!

Just bought it from one of your betrayer for 20 bucks. Nice phone. I do not hate froyo, it is just the slow response bored me.
Also, the keyboard is not as fast as soft keyboard in note 2.
But for 20 bucks, I have no complain.

20 bucks you go a serious deal as this phone still goes for 100
An yes froyo is slow but the new nexus roms make is seem like no lag (atleast to me)

Wow I thought I got off cheap paying 60 for mine, it is flawless though, you would think its new.
Even if I would have know that there were only froyo ROMs for this phone ahead of time I still would have bought it, yes we need to move ahead, this phone is plenty capable of running even jb, but we need talent who has time to do so....

Hey everyone, I just got one for my girlfriend off ebay a few weeks ago, and everyone here in the subforum has been super helpful! I also got a second one for $50 that was broken with the reboot-power-button loop problem which I have about 60% fixed (using a TON of rubbing alcohol..).
I have to say, it is an odd little phone when it comes to hacking/rooting... My main phone is a Galaxy Exhibit 4G, which has its oddities as well, but the more I mess with this glitchy Sidekick the more I like it. My girlfriends phone is running RicAndroid's neXus JB 1.22, and so far so good. My Sidekick is running rooted and updated stock rom, for two reasons...
1) I can't seem to get CWM to stick without modifying the kernel as well
2) I really like the funky "urban" stock rom's style...
I wish there were a blend of all the features of JB with the look and feel of stock... That, or a functioning Bootmanager, so I could dual boot between stock and custom roms!

Sad times, 4.2.2 really isn't all that great, only real benefit to new phones are bigger screens and faster processors. Most of the features in 4.2.2 have 3rd party apps that mirror the new "features" if not improve on them. If you know of a 4.2.2 Android with a physical keyboard this big you let me know! Until getting one of these phones recently, I had forgotten the sheer joy of using a REAL keyboard!

I do believe droid 4 is the most updated with a keyboard
