Sold my Sidekick - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

I apologize, guys. The device just is too outdated so I sold it to a girl from work. I can do some blind builds being that all I do is themes. Don't expect me to make anything soon, though.
I got myself the LG Optimus L9 for 50 bucks with a 2 year jail sentence, I mean contract. It's good enough for me.
I used xUltimate to pull the system apps and framework to deodex and zipalign using the apk multi-tool. Then pushed them back with a few adb commands. Also rooted of course.
It's been a good ride. I'll stop by to see how things are going once in a while.

Correction. I used the Android Kitchen to deodex and zipalign.

How hard could it be?

To port or make a rom of honeycomb ....... I really love the ui and well ics doesn't seems to good for now ..... but yeah ..... can it be done ?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Pretty damn hard, considering we dont have source code. And its for tablets only.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
It's possible if a dev wanted to take the time to port it but seeing as to how Google might not release the source for it then the necessities like data,wifi, and etc wouldn't work unless you build your own from scratch which takes a long time.
Wow. Okay. Imagine moving mount Everest one stone at a time to sour America blind folded. Then learn how to develop android roms and port it yourself before you act like it should be easy. Oh and remember our Devs do this for free so also stop thinking your entitled to their work. Finally destroy your phone and computer so what Devs remain won't decide were not worth their time and just stop wasting their precious free time working to help ingrates like you.

There was already such a ROM in the works, but honeycomb is really not meant for phones. I don't have the link on hand, but just search through the development section and you'll see it. No updates since July though

Way to troll. He never said or forced any devs to make a rom just asked how hard it would be. Theres a pretty big difference.
I answered his queston; its harder than you could imagine. It's not trolling. If you don't like my tone then either don't ask stupid questions that make Devs sound lazy or ignore me. I'd prefer the one that keeps Devs happy since I for one really appreciate their time and effort.

There is a difference between asking how hard it would be and making a thread with a title how hard COULD it be.
You ask the question how hard could it be about anything and you're putting all the people down that could do it or have attempted to do it.
Simple example how hard could it be to run a 4 minute mile. Somebody that can will tell you to **** off. Somebody who tried but could not...**** off.
Op deserves to get flamed for the title of thread. If you really meant how hard would it be instead of could it be then you would understand why people will take issue with it.
It can be done

All of the complaining aside. If you arent part of solution... *ahem*
In due time Development will begin and we will have lots of fun.
Until then, if you aren't satisfied with su, chainfīre, app freeze, etc - just suggestion - return the phone.

+1 ... I am really liking my skyrocket
Agreed. It's taken a few days to adjust to the screen size, but I am really enjoying it. I wanted to get the OG SGS2, but I'm on a bussiness plan and can't get it through Best buy, so I was stuck with it. Overall I'm pleased with it so far.
I too am in love with the phone and the switch from the SGIIS. I look forward to some custom ROM's. Speed is great, screen is simply amazing.
We just need our own forum...

That's the response I expectected...but thanks for pointing to the 0.1 kernel! The 0.3 kernel (now called rom racers kernel was there) everyone is not a noob just cause they have a valid question...I've had this phone since the week it came out in November, I've rooted devices from a Nook Color to a Super Pad, and all those in-between. I actually exchanged my 4S for a skyrocket..(best thing I ever did) Ive flashed every rom and tweak for this device. I just get sick of idiots trying to make ppl look stupid for asking a valid question on these forums..:beer:

i would have to agree with you. i haven't had the phone for nearly as long as you have but from browsing around xda (specifically gs2 and here) i have to notice that by comparison development is much slower in this section.
disclaimer: this is by far not a complaint, just an observation. i love the development that IS currently taking place and am very appreciative of it.
What about search lol

I think dev work is kinda slow on alot of phones right now. I know it has slowed down on my nexus s because a lot of them are waiting for the new sources of ICS to be released. A lot of the developers are doing great work. I think once ICS rolls out it will take off. IMHO.

I feel pretty good about what we have now. ICS will come eventually, who knows when exactly but it will come. I have two other android phones and a tablet that all run ICS very smoothly. But I still choose this gingerbread runnin beast everyday over all the others. In my humble opinion, there will definitely be some frowning faces on the day ICS is officially released for our device.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Honestly its all just hype. ICS will come out and within 6 months we will be jumping to the next firmware. I think the community should put more focus on fully customizing and enjoying the capabilities of gingerbread. I really don't think we will be satisfied otherwise. That's why devs get turned off to making ROMs. They make something awesome and we use it for a week and then want more. So much greed!

Development around here is slow.

Hey guys and gals! I recently purchased a Samsung galaxy s blaze and I came here to check out the ROMS and such.. but I noticed that there isn't one that is working without bugs and all. Is there a reason? Is there not enough devs here with the time or capability? I could easily help you guys out and all but I have no idea on development. If someone here is willing to show some stuff for me, I would be willing to take it! I think this is a great phone with a lot of capabilities so how about we get this phone in the show!? Thanks!

Development has been slow until recently. To date erikmm dark Knight build 4 is running smooth and without issue that I'm aware of. Also recently Erik also has cm7 running but the cam is not working. He has been working hard to get the blaze working better.
I agree the phone has huge potential. Its quick and fast
Would love to see other devs jump into the fray and I'm sure others would also
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Yes I have seen that Erik has been working hard on this phone, he is a great dev and I know people look up to him. But we cannot leave everything up to him. If anyone else wants to join me, I would be willing to know everything he knows so we can have more people developing around here. Just saying, I could probably learn this stuff right off the bat maybe even from google. I will be around here for a while!

Erik has been doing an amazing job but I often feel guilty because of all the pressure we may be putting on him lol.

I am all for donating to buy another Developer a phone lol.

I'm am down for this if he is as good as you say. I am willing to open up a paypal account and kick start the donation with 10-20 dollars but first I need to confirm we'll have enough donators. We will likely need more than the last time because finding a blaze for $250 is not easy.
Please like this post if you're willing to donate to see lengthened and speed-up the development for this phone.

Thank you. Lol
The other night I saw HTCClay pop up in the Blaze board. I remember using his ROM's years ago on the G1. The stuff he did back then was great on that phone. Between CM and Clay's ROM's, the G1 had life. I am not sure what he is doing or not doing but he has the Blaze also. I sent a message to him the other day to see if he is planning to cook something up for the Blaze.
Erik has accomplished a ton in the past few weeks as a one man show developing and releasing ROMs. Personally I have learned a lot working with him testing and checking the ROMs.
I personally think it would be great if we could get other dev's involved to help the cause.

I'm down with helping out guys. Erik is my team mate and a good friend and I'm always there for him. Even on this phone, i have helped him out with flashing scripts and such. My lightning zap tweaks, gremlin remover for sgs4g, and gummy mutt port for that same device have a well known reputation of their own. Not to mention the work i have done on a few HTC devices, LG nitro, captivate, and Sony s tab with other devs. If you guys could get me a phone, team kick ass would be complete and i think together Erik and i would make this phone phenomenal like we did with the sgs4g...

There was one early on by Mr Hyde which I installed and have been using ever since. That was discontinued about a year ago though. Was just wondering if there's been any development since.

C'mon man, don't be a troll. There are very few owners/users of your particular tab. Which is why there is little development for it. Have you seen Shakatus contributions to the community of P51xx.Take a look for yourself, and then try spouting off. If he, or any other, of the great devs around here actually had one of your models, maybe they may be able to figure something out. But, he doesn't. So he wont. Unless of course you want to send him yours to try, but I can guess the answer to that. Bashing people around here for problems that you are having (or unwilling to do anything about, except lean on others ie: learn something for yourself) is unacceptable and will be reported. No trolls allowed......next!
I wasn't trying to be crass....I will be happy to donate or whatever in order to advance the work on this model....but there's no current anything for this device.....I've ran down every link and thread trying to find anything useful to break VZW's hold on this device, so it's not a matter of not researching or being lazy....my apologies.
