Sent from my Sidekick using xda app-developers app [also, where's my L, Samsung?]
my phone is not stock tho i just want to make sure if i already put a custom rom in it will i be able to install another rom without worrying about anything
You asked about updating and what the mounts should look like. If you are aready rooted and using CWM then just skip to the part that explains wiping and installing.
Sent from my Sidekick using xda app-developers app [also, where's my L, Samsung? Where? I want it back now!]
so i am safe to just install the rom then
well
What are you trying to do? Install a new ROM? I'm guessing you have a custom ROM already but want to change it to another custom ROM? When you say safe, safe from what? Can you please elaborate?

Nobody is responding to you because
1 your questions been answered already
2 you didn't read anything because if you did you would have easily found the answer
3 read the forums
And just to proove I'm not being a total ****
You can switch to any Rom from a custom Rom as long as the firmware base is the same.
Always wipe all data and cache factory reset before flashing a new Rom unless specified in the Rom that there is no wipe needed.
Never restore data with titanium backup when changing Roma it can cause conflicts and crashes.

As someone said lady GET AN I PHONE! I have never told someone that ,but I've never come across someone so unsuited to a rooted phone.
You are driving pple crazy who are trying to help !!!!
Custom roms are not for everyone. You can't expect others to read your mind ,or answer every single tiny point. Go and learn. Go and find info. It takes time and effort to pick the skills up. Its not hard but you have to put the effort in if you expect others to spend time helping you !

Roms are like clothes for our phones. You dress according to the enviorment in which you will be around. We canot tell you what combintion is the best. It totaly depends on you. Invest time in finding out what rom offers you what you need. Honestly... in my own personal opinion, there is no rom besides glorious overdose that worth installing. Half of what the other roms offer cause glitches in the rom.. and are themed... something you can do yourself. I appreciate the work done on this phone and to the devs currently deving for this phone, kudos. Let's go byond the "impossible" and make this phone a bit more exciting. Cause deving isn't for fame. Its for the thrill of having the chance to creat something someone somewhere will enjoy.

At this time last year, I was anxiously awaiting GOV. There were others but I only trusted ayoteddy at the time. After some time, I tried others and always went back to GOV.
I do these roms because after using root uninstaller to customize it my way, I figured that I should learn how to do this myself.
My roms will never be like GOV....it is perfection. I just do this to occupy my time. I am a recovering alcoholic and this has been sort of like a hobby for me.
My list of fave roms include GOV, GenericGinger, ICS Domination, Clean Fusion (Although now it cannot play YouTube within the web browser) and TouchMIUIwiz.

I notice theres no custom roms yet or anything. I'm not a skilled dev or anything but right now im throwing together a deodexed stock rom, as well as a 1% battery mod.
I don't have a sidekick (my girlfriend does) so I cannot test it. Anyone willing to be my guinea pig?
I partially used a script with my deodexing since i dont have much time today so there might be a few FC's on some apps.
Maybe once I get more familiar with kernels and stuff i'll try and make a fully custom rom/kernel. I need a hobby anyways .
Or should I just post it up in the dev forum with giant red warning letters?
"Why are you here if you don't have a sidekick?" I have an epic4g and Learned a bit about android dev from there. The devs there are great and have the job covered. This is a new phone and and empty forum, figured i'd try and start off here and maybe my girl will let me put a rom i made on her phone :3
EDIT: PM me or post for a download link
I'm willing to test

It wont brick you, it doesn't overwrite any recovery or anything. Be sure to make a nandroid backup before flashing.

So my Sensation 4g is only my 2nd Android phone... G2 being the first and i've decided to start modding this one. Last night I followed the 4 steps to get the phone switched to s-off and then rooted. I'm looking into a new rom for the phone. I like all the videos and stuff i see for CM7 but it seems like it may be a min for that to drop a release. Do you guys have anything else you suggest? Also any particular app's? I've instated Bloat Freezer and a couple others to try and trim the HTC Sense 3.0 fat. Thank you in advance
Download a sensless ROM.
And I only use 1 root app, titanium backup. Comes in handy a lot, and can save u data.

Do I need TI back up if I already have CWM?
If you dont want all the nice graphics from Sense roms go with No-sense like the other person suggested. If you like Sense, then you can try any rom out there. I really like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
I was using CM roms on all my other phones, but I guess porting it to this phone is taking a little longer and not everything is working properly.
There is a difference between TI Backup and CWM. CWM will back up the complete rom with all your setting and apps, TI back up will back up your apps with data and when you jump from ROM to ROM you can restore with TI back up all your apps with data just like you had them before flashing another ROM.
I would recommend getting the paid version of TI backup, the one click install saves you a lot of time.
Welcome to Android modding.

TI Backup can backup all your app+system data, so that if/when you install a new ROM you can restore your apps and any data you want to. CWM is good for essentially saving an entire ROM, but it can't help with restoring apps+data onto a new ROM.

Android Revolution is getting an update today, you may want to check that out.
Thank you everyone for the responses. I'm going to do some more research and maybe switch rom's over the weekend.

your missing out.
J/K, get it done when you have time to read the guides, you'll have a better outcome.
You really can't go wrong around here. So many great devs. As long as you're careful you can try out all of their releases. Right now I'm on InsertCoin 2.2.2 on the stock kernel and it's perfect.
It's probably not needed right now, but you might end up picking up Root Explorer someday for the occasional dev-recommended file edit.

ok so i think i finally found the rom.... eaglesblood. i mean come on with a name like that it has to be pretty amazing.... and it seems to have good feedback. my other questions are what are radios? and i see a bunch of other "mods" should i just take my time and add everything? also i use my phone for gps so that is important to me is there anything i can do to garantee that it works?
sorry for all the questions i just wanna make sure i dont lose any functionality

If you installed it and didn't use it, no problem.
If you used it to 'install', then you earned a one way trip to using Odin to get everything back.

I wonder what goes through other peoples heads when they decide hey I'm going to root my phone and install a custom Rom. I mean the first thing I did was a Google search on how to root SGS4G. That lead me to XDA. Then I found the actual SGS4G forum and began searching for guides. This was the same process for my MT3G and my G1. I don't understand why people would just grab Rom manager and assume it's a cure all. Boggles the mind.

that works out fine if the first thing you get led to is xda, but if you are unlucky like me then you end up at joe schmoe's tech blog or something similar and they tell you that any android phone can be "hacked" with superoneclick and rom manager. thats where the true issue lies, imo: that not the sites state the same info and most of that is wrong.
Thanks raver!

+1 Sure there were multiple sites related to the subject, which is why you take a little bit of time to examine more than one. I know I didn't just click the first option and run with it.
This post got me thinking. We have the SGS4G Bible but apparently it can be a little overwhelming and too much information for some people to digest before they start modding their phones.
Keeping the biblical theme maybe a simplified "SGS4G TEN COMMANDMENTS" that contain the ten most common questions and answers, noob mistakes, and does and don'ts in one place. Simple, easy to read, and easy to refer people to. For example...
Commandment 1: DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER...EVER!
Commandment 2: DO NOT FLASH VIBRANT ROMS....EVER! - THE SGS4G IS NOT A VIBRANT!
etc, etc....you get the idea.
Any thoughts?
Okay people I just bought this phone and I'm coming from MyTouch 4G. I've been reading for the past 2 days about how to flash a SGS4G and honestly,..it's crazy! Little overwhelming to be Honest...to the point, I rooted my phone with Superoneclick, I have superuser, so I know it's rooted. Plus, I have Titanium Backup running on my phone. Everything is still FACTORY SET on the phone. It is running 2.2.1 Froyo. I did read about Froyo udate zip CWM and recovery and have downloaded them. My question is since I want to flash A Rom does it have to be Froyo only? If there is such a thing?? Or can it be Gingerbread 2.3.6? And is there anything else I need to download? I know I have to follow to the tee on the OP that the Dev. says to do. I just want to be sure exactly what I need to do..

The gb ext4 starter pack saved me alot of headache when I first got this phone. Hands down it is the best way to go. Just make sure you follow the directions exactly. Its guides like this and the people that make them that make XDA so great.
I'm new to it as well and like you are saying, it's overwhelming to root and flash on this phone. But I followed the GB starter pack the other day and included the Vahalla Final rom as my choice and everything worked great. Some things actually happened a hair different than described and I thought it screwed up but it worked.
But I think I just screwed up trying to do a restore

AOSP. I was trying a method of porting that didn't work like it was documented. Thanks anyways.

Thanks for the effort! Mind if I download this and see what I can come up with?

Too highly flawed. I'd recommend starting from scratch.

Hey, man. Just thought you should know that out of curiosity, I took the firmware folder from the Epic 4G CM 6.2 rom and cooked it into my Epic SK4G rom.
No issues so far. I know it may be no big deal but I wanted to share that. Maybe bhundven can take a look at the kernel?
EDIT: It is no big deal.... it's just Froyo 2.2.1. Forget it. Goddammit.

Lol. You don't have the skill set to port CM to any device. Stop giving sk4g users false hope. Your worse then reactives epic fail of a cm6 ROM. Lulz.

At least he's trying, unlike you who has nothing better to do than to laugh at things that are obviously a WIP. "LULZ I R GUNNA LAFF @ U CUZ U CNT DO WUT I WUNT U 2 DO!"
Either congratulate him on his attempt, shut up, or try it yourself. This is why people leave XDA, because of kids like you. Grow a pair or a brain, whichever comes easier.

I would have kept my mouth shut if he fixed the op. Either [PORT][WIP] CM6 for the sidekick 4G or even [PORT][PRE-ALPHA] CM6 for the sidekick 4G. BETA is reserved for working ROMs/PORTS. This was obviously an epic fail.
He's also stated before he does not know how to modify kernels. In order to port cm6 you will need some kernel hacking skillz.

He also said this form of porting was documented to work, which it didn't in this particular case. And if you've forgotten, he can't test it. His SK4G is with bhundven. So, he couldn't have known that it was pre-alpha material.

What ever happened to bhudven? He's had the device for well over 5+ months already.

Life happened. He's got some personal affairs to deal with atm. He's made quite a bit of progress. Nothing bootable as far as I know, but every little baby step helps.

I'm pretty sure it took a month or less to boot CM6 on the SK4G, bootable.
Not +5 months.

Exactly my point I was trying to make.
That all depends on what he had to go through those last 5+ months. Assuming everything was peachy, yes, a month is feasible. But say, you had court battles and other stuff to worry about, do you think you could throw something workable together in a month? Doubt it. And if you say you can, prove it. Otherwise, you're full of yourself. I'm not gonna try myself, because like I have said before, i've only done small stuff and I know my own limitations. But by all means, go ahead and ridicule someone who is making a conscious effort and not just sitting back and waiting for someone else to do the work.
Btw, Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas to the both of you, despite your overinflated egos.
What 5+ month are you talking about? Phone was sent to Bhundven at the beginning of october, so it's 3-, not 5+. And yes, life's more important than ROMs.
