Looks like this phone dead good thing its my girls phone I got sensation sorry guys
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Well I don't get where u think this phone has died.
In our development section we have someone working (successfully) on getting us CM7, and another person getting us ASOP.
So if anything, this phone is more alive than it has been in months.

true that. so excited for CM7
Were is gb It's dead for them devs may keep it on lifesupport

The work on GB just started a week ago. Shut up and stop trolling. The only way this phone will ever get GB is if people like you stay out of the way of the people who are getting work done.
Third party development for the Sidekick 4G has NOT ceased. I can see that we at the very most have 5 active projects continuing. Officially, T-Mobile has stopped support and updates for the Sidekick 4G however. Our only hope, is to support those who are continuing to bust their ass for the Sidekick 4G when they could just go get a nicer phone and develop for that instead.
Source of T-Mobile's Announcement : I can't post it because I don't have enough posts to link to outside resources, just a quick Google search will show you that.
I'm looking forward to a brighter future for this device, please be more possitive. I know this device has potential.

Then device itself is quite nice. If we do get AOSP/CM, I'll be satisfied with the SK4G for a few more years. Five row keyboards are a rarity for some reason, and I need one for SSH.

yeah we slowed down dev but look it doesnt matter as long as we are a 4g phone we could do just the same as the epic 4g did and not dev for awhile but burst with everything soon enough it just takes time and devs to get the phone

That's true, the Epic 4G did eventually get CM support after a long delay.
However, it also has approximately two zillion units in deployment. The SK4G has more of a struggle ahead, with far fewer handsets in the field.
I wish more sysadmin types would realize what a great device the Sidekick 4G is for remote management. Top-notch SSH client, flexible VPN options. That user base could really benefit from the SK4G's virtues.
Another thing about the Sidekick 4G that I like to mention is that on stock, it's crap. Although, when flashed with a custom ROM and proper tweaks applied, the phone's structure and hardware becomes more than worth the price. For example, the price is sub-200$, which is great for this phone. (brand new too)
Code:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SAMSUNG-SIDEKICK-4G-T839-WIFI-GPS-UNLOCKED-T-MOBILE-CELL-PHONE-BLACK-/330690802804?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item4cfeb53474#ht_5364wt_1139
Price is 182$ w/ free shipping straight. The only issue is Hong Kong's slow shipping. (also the phone is unlocked)
really i got mine for 120 with it already rooted i didnt have to work at all but its simple to do anyway
I got mines as a gift, I'm hooked on GOv2

I've been with the sidekick line for quite some time now, they have always been a tried and true phone, so i'm loyal to SK. It was a bit of an adjustment goin from danger to android. (this is my first android device lol) and let's face it, the stock SK4G was a pain... ran slow, choppy, a little disapointing.
But after finding XDA and the awesome people that contribute here, i learned a few things. Had fun learning them too. Now i am happy with my my SK4G completely.
Yea, Tmob stopped production after only 11 months, but like alot of people loyal to the SK line, and with some help from the cool peeps on XDA, i'll be rockin this phone for quite some time.
btw, some rumors about SK gettin another revamp? should be interesting.
Rockin the Glorious Overdose v2 ROM. great work!
Yeah well if you go with the ics that I have it thinks its galaxy nexus which is funny but I think sk might be getting cyanogenmod
Sent from my sidekick that thinks im Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I got mine free 2 months ago with a new 2yr.Stock was junk and lagged way too much,then i went to GOv2 and got alot of freezes now on GGv3 and flawless its a whole different phone,thx for all the hard work.
Not so dead after all

It all comes down to all phones have different development rates.
If you wanna see a phone that died look at the LG Ally when it came out.
Hey everyone, It has come time for me to leave. As much fun as it has been in here for the last year plus, it is time for me to move on. I have noticed that a lot of our core group has really been moving on as well.
I will forward the information on how to fix the boot sequence for the CM based ROMs to alteredlikeness so that he can put that into the next builds for his CM based work.
I will still be in and out once in a while, and I will still be on IRC and help out the other devs in the background, but I will not be hanging out in here everyday as I have been. I have put my Atrix2 up for sale, and I am in the process of getting a galaxy nexus to run the new ubuntu phone OS on, and I am going to switch to working only on that for dev work for the time being.
It has been great and I wish everyone the best of luck and best wishes.
Well damn. Best of luck to you good Sir!!!

Yeah this was a really hard decision, and after thinking on it for most of the holidays and then Ubuntu making their announcement, I knew that is what I was really after, and where I really would LOVE to spend my free time.
I am in no way abandoning you or anyone here, and I will still answer my PMs, because I will still be participating on XDA, I will just be focusing on the ubuntu phone OS instead. As I said I will still hang out in our IRC rooms and check in here every so often, but I am sure it will be less and less as time goes on.

Thank you! Same to you.
I am hoping to see some of you guys on the Ubuntu side of the fence soon. I saw several people note that they were excited, and a used Galaxy Nexus is not very expensive right now, and it has an HSPA+ radio just like this phone, so.... it should be pretty close, but that it is more like the SGS3 in hardware, and it is fully unlocked like the SGS3. I am also keeping the SGS3 and going to work to get that on Ubuntu too, so for those that have that phone too, I will still see some of you over there, with hopefully some great ubuntu work that I will be doing.
I decided this after my last attempt at killing the bootloader on this phone frustrated me so much, and the fact that I have 2 devices that are unlocked right now that I can do anything I want with, that this was my only real reason for doing this (freedom).
I have also noticed that the dynamic has changed in here as of late, and that just gave me the extra push to move forward.
Again, you all have fun and keep the good stuff flowing in here and I will speak to everyone soon I hope.
Thanks!
Thanks for all you work!
I recently purchased 2 lapdocks to use with my Raspberry Pi. While waiting for my HDMI adapters to show up from China [still waiting], I got bored and bought an atrix2 this past weekend and was excited to find that you had done some great work with WebTop.
Sadly my atrix2 was already OTA ICS as I was stoked to have a real desktop OS running on this phone. However, I understand the need to move on.
Looks like I'll need to pick up a Galaxy Nexus soon!
I think it's a wise move on your part.. all of us, and especially you, are limited by Moto's lockdown.. and I too am really looking forward to Ubuntu for phones.. they are going to change things and contribute to mobile OS's in a big way. Good things will come of this, and I will definitely be joining you in dev'ing it in the future...
Without being too dramatic - we will keep pushing forward with the foundation that basically you alone put together here.. until we all eventually move on to other devices... sigh.. everything's so fleeting..
Thanks again, Jim! Ttyl..

Good luck Jim and thanks for your help. I understand all your frustrations with this phone. I've been burnt out on it for quite some time now. That's why i haven't been more active here in the community. Take care and thanks again.

Its a very sad day for A2.. :/ My genuine heartfelt thanks for everything youve done for this phone, one of my decisions to get this phone was because of such dedicated and talented devs like you. Will always be grateful man. All the best and I hope you'll drop in once in a while.. Cheers
Btw, even i'm contemplating getting a Galaxy Nexus.. maybe in a month when the salary comes
My best regards to you Jim, one of the best around.
Will certainly miss you sir, and all the hard work you've brought to this community.
Does your supersekrit CM10 builds feature the work that you had done towards webtop, or should I simply enjoy the devices that I have au natural and not worry about being on bleeding edge of cool?
Thank you again, and enjoy your new toys.
Regards.
^+1. Yah we'll miss u Sir! Have a great time
life!
Motorola pretty much made it impossible to do anything proper with this phone, which is sad because hardware wise it's about as solid as they come. It's been an uphill fight since day one, and we couldn't have had a better fighter for our cause. Like many others, I want to say thank you for helping us along keeping this phone up to par. I'm due for an upgrade, so I'm sure I'll be bugging you in another forum before you know it. :laugh: Thanks Jim.

There might still be one or two things I have hidden up my sleeve that I may still release soon.
As far as the bootloader goes, yeah that is not getting unlocked. I tried for a little more than a year. I know when to finally call it quits. I really had a good one there with the rootkit and booting off the sdcard, but there were still checks that moto has for that too, so....
As I said earlier in this thread, my time in here is going start to taper off slowly and over time I will just fade off into the sunset... LOL.

Hey, what happened with kexec? I never tried it as you said it hard bricks the a2.. I do remember seeing a thread where you said it was working and we just need c coders now.. if kexec dosent hard brick, I guess a little can be ported from RAZR.. also now that retail phones have jb, maybe we can use the boot img from it for att phones as well..

Porting does not work on the A2. We have NEVER been able to successfully port any ROMS to the A2, but don't let me stop you from trying, if you can get it too boot and all the hardware and a kernel working, more power to you! I gotta say that would be pretty sweet, but since we have figured out the secret of compiling and using our kernel as a base, and compiling open source roms like that, we/you can have any roms you basically want now, with the stock kernel still on the phone.
Yes kexec works, since I helped with kexec. There was a post that I did post about it. We do not have any ROMS that take advantage of it though.
you are the best dude!! Thanks for the ROMs:crying: but hope u change ur decesion
Hey folks, I've got a chance to buy a 16 gig blue version for $220, without a dock. With all your user experience and knowledge of this device, as well as what's currently on the market, is it worth purchasing?
I guess I'm just a little on the fence since I already have a nexus 7 but have been looking for something with a larger screen and have been trying to decide as to whether I should wait and see what the tegra 4 products will look like in the next few months.
* How far along do you think this product is concerning its life cycle? Meaning, will this hold up for another year or so or be obsolete and not get a klp update?
* Are you happy with it now that you've had it for some time or would you have gotten something different?
Thanks in advance for all your advice and suggestions!!!
Get it :good:
I'm on a custom rom, so it'll last me another while and I can flash whatever I like which gives me freedom. I suggest that you take unlocking/ rooting your device into consideration.
If you are goingt to wait for the newest hardware, you will wait forever: there is always something newer coming up
Thanks for the feedback. You're right about chasing new technology as there's always something newer and better around the corner. So long as there's continued support and development for this, I think i'll jump in for one.
Get it!
I love this bad boy! And for the price it's totally worth it!
Life previous post stated. Custom ROM and kernel. This thing is perfect!
I have nothing negative to say about this tablet!

I did get it, thanks to all of your recommendations. I'm pleased so far with it but I definitely want to get my hands dirty with it and really get to flashing and tweaking. I only bought the tablet and it came with the usb/30 pin cable so I do need to get a wall wart for it.
Wish me luck and thanks again!!!

absolutely true, but a thing is to pine for the newest hardware, another thing is to blindly suggest an EOL platform.
tf300 is a sweet tablet but asus is phasing it out, this mean that on one side yo get some nice offers, on other hand you wont get any more official updates (probabily 4.2 but its not sure) and even xda developers will be jumping ship when they'll buy newer stuff in time.
I think that one should get a whole picture before buying it.

Absolutely true, but that is also the case with The Latest The Greatest. As long as there is plenty development (which there is for this platform with blokes as sbdags, surdu_petru & xplowild) one can have some fun for quite some time.
For example: with CM one can enjoy 4.2.2 already now
Just wanted to know if any of the devs would be interested in porting the Ubuntu Touch over to our One XL's. I'm not a dev at all (I know absolutely zero coding), but came across this post on the XDA homepage. Thought it would be kinda cool for us to have Ubuntu touch ported over to our device as well.

They make it seem pretty simple to get set up so long as you have CM10.1 working for your device, so hopefully that's the case. Ubuntu is installing right now, fingers crossed it doesn't have any issues along the way.

Yeah, it sounds like it's barely even able to work as a phone. We'll have to see how quickly they are working on it. Hopefully it'll be actually usable before too long.
Unfortunately, I'm STILL trying to pull the source. I mean, it's ridiculously slow. I'm under 100 KBps now. I was hoping to get something running today because I don't know that I'll have time to work on it over the weekend. We'll have to see.
Update: Yeah, some 5-6 hours later we're STILL downloading. Nothing for today. I'm going to try to get back to it tomorrow or Sunday if I have time. Hopefully by then it will have finished downloading, haha.

At the moment, I've gotten back into a busy cycle at work, and my computer is broken at home (I'm down to an iPad and my phone), so I haven't been able to play with it. Hoping to get my computer up and running as soon as I can get some parts ordered. I can't really be upset, I've been using that system for over 5 years now and it's been running like a damn champ! Goodbye ridiculously old Opteron 165. Maybe one of these other guys might have an interest in getting it running.
Hello xda friends,
I've dusted off the relay 4g & playing around with android again to keep my hands busy.
My Question of the day is, are there enough people still using this device to be testers? I've been looking at porting since that's just what I've always done for fun, and currently I'm using the LG G3 on verizon so I won't be able to do network/data testing on tmo.
The other thing, I left off on 4.2/4.3 and wondering if anyone can fill in the blanks regarding issues going to KK/LP.
I've already read some posts regarding memory leaks in LP, and Recovery issues I think..
Happy Modding!

Kk was more battery friendly than Lollipop is...in its current state...there's still all sorts of source floating around for it

Dude, drop in to IRC. Dev is pretty close to dead on Relay right now, since Nard and I don't *have* relay's any more, and Magamo's busy in his new parental role...
Before I got rid of mine, I did get 5.0 running on it reasonably OK. Some of the inherent 5.0 glitches made the experience slightly.... crunchy, but it was fully functional. 5.1 would probably work pretty well on it.

Finally got 5.1.1 booting using your device tree. Looks like sound, wifi & BT is borked. Likely do to cm-12.0 pulls & needs fixed.
Thanks for the direction & I'll see what I can put together, I'm sure I'll have to mess with the 8960-common now.
I'm surprised cm is not supported pasted 11. As I didn't have to mod frameworks?
Well, thanks again!

I've posted booting repositories if anyone is interest in getting cm officially supported again. Might jump into irc later to night & ask the guys about it.

As of the last time TeamApexQ's repos were touched, CM12 booted, but audio was borked due to a CM change that I never had the time to figure out. -- Never did get around to starting with Android 5.1 on this thing. Nor did we touch Omni after the 5 upgrade, because for a long time their CAF trees were... inadequate.
Eugene, did you gave up on our relay? I hope not.
Just found this thread. Been hoping for signs of life (although this thread is looking pretty dead). Still using the relay until it dies, and would love to see LP or MM on it.

I'm still here, though I agree things are looking pretty dead. Within the next few weeks, I plan to either be gone from here, or be looking into becoming a new nightly provider.
My wife's Relay is having problems, and I fear it's a hardware fault. The proximity detector seems to get stuck. When she takes it away from her ear, the screen stays black, and I'm really not sure what lets it clear its state and display the screen, again. If it's a hardware fault, we're buying two new phones in the next few weeks. I've tried all sorts of things, except a factory reset, and that's next.
If the factory reset works, and I'm able to get it running again, then I want to see new nightlies, even if I have to be the one building them. The sticky part will be getting enough assistance to where I can start building them.
I still use my Relay 4g as my main phone and I'm trying to port LP to it. But I'm still a noob so it will take some time
My main too. I really need to find the time to poke around the code for this thing..
Just noticed this thread now (ha!). I'm using my Relay as my backup phone - but hey, sometimes I do need a backup! Happy to do some testing if it helps. I'd love to have 5.1.1 on it.
Im still rockin the relay also as my main device, but I'm probably gonna get the priv for Christmas.
If there will be cm12.1 I will install it.

Same. The Blackberry Priv I hear has a super disappointing keyboard. I'm hoping Samsung picks up on the idea that people still want keyboards and makes SOMETHING for us.
