[ROM][CWM][ROOT] (Pics Added + Add-Ons) Smooth Maximus ROM GingerClone v1 [7/7/11]

Welcome to the Second &nd My Second Custom ROM for the Sidekick 4G

This is my Version of a Gingerbread/SGSII Clone that i have put alot of work into and took alot of time to get this theme how i wanted it.
it is HIGHLY Recommended that You update to this ROM From Smooth Maximus X.
For the many that like the SMX Theme and themed apps it will be posted in themes and apps section soon to flash over this ROM

MORE SCREENSHOTS Are HERE !!

INFO

Base: SK4G.KD1/SGS4G.UVKD1 2.2.1
Rooted with Modded Recovery to enable flashing into CWM
Deodexed 100%
All Apps Optimized and zip-aligned
Framework Optimized and Zipaligned
All System apps Up to date
Debloated (Like Smooth Maximus X)
Kernel: Bali 2.2
Modem: KD1
Custom Theme based on Gingerbread made by me (Mostly Built From Xperia Arc, AOSP 2.3, and SGSII 2.3 Gingerbread, With my own little touch)
SGSII System App icons
SGSII Live Wallpapers + More
Nexus S Ringtones and Notification + Added more Alarm Sounds.
Nexus(S) Boot Animation + Custom Nexus Shutdown with sound.
Build.prop Edits (Changed Default Ringtones/Notifications, Changes to improve scrolling + UI performance + much More)
Stock/Default Font
Stock Transitions/Animations
Many init.d tweaks for better overall performance.

Additional INFO

Gallery images will load so fast ! (after first reboot, all tweaks should kick in)
Unlocking has never been so smooth ..
The Only Launchers Included is LauncherPro (Amazing, see in the market to see what its capable of.)
And Touchwiz4.5 Launcher by Fr4gg0r! (Also Amazing, See the Original Thread to See what it can do)
Phone now instantly rings when someone dials out/calls your number
Wifi scan interval inscreased by 20% to save battery (changed from 1 min scan to 1.2 min scan)

Most apps are stock (Unthemed, but with themed icons from SGSII)
AOSP Apps: Email, Clock, Calculator.
Some apps themed to look like SGSII Twiz and not the Custom SK4G Twiz (nothing too much)
For those who care about quadrant scores you can get anything from 1250-1550 Just like with Smooth Maximus X

Overall this ROM is Based on Smooth Maximus X which is very fast, but i've made ALOT of changes and testing the edits i made. Things like apps staying in memory, scrolling stutters, pulldown stutters and Much more have been improved and i honestly dont see how it can get better from here (But you decide lol). This will be my flagship ROM so if/when i come up with ideas/mods/tweaks it will be updated for this ROM and Not Smooth Maximus X unless i decide to make time for it.

FAQ

Q - i Just Flashed a ROM and Dont Want to Loose all of my Data i just re-setup

/ I have a setup and i dont want to loose it . . Do i HAVE to Wipe ?

A - Yes you Have to Wipe but if you dont want to loose that data you can Make a nandroid Backup before wiping your Data, Follow the install instructions and install the ROM. Right after the ROM Boots, reboot into recovery and go to backup and restore > advanced restore > *choose backup* > restore data then Reboot and your data is Back to the way it was before you wiped.

Install Instructions: Read Carefully.

Quote:

* First Off, its ALWAYS good to keep a nandroid backup incase you run into a problem.
if you dont already know how to, Do it From CWM recovery. Go to Backup/restore > Backup and it will backup your phone system ,data ect and you can restore it back to this state From CWM whenever you want. *

Flash though CWM - Just Like Smooth Maximus X

Instructions -

- Put zip file in your /sdcard
- Reboot into cwm recovery
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
(Optional but recommended to prevent any minor issues)-Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM

Quote:

*Now before you Flash, Only if this is your FIRST time Flashing a Custom ROM otherwise ignore the mounts/unmount part*
MAKE SURE YOUR MOUNTS LOOK LIKE THIS: (Go to mounts and storage from CWM recovery)

UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM

- Now its safe to Flash the .zip

(Optional but recommended)-Wipe Cache then Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM before Rebooting.

Quote:

(AGAIN IGNORE UNLESS THIS IS your First time installing a custom ROM) after you flash, go back to mounts and storage and make sure your mounts look like this

UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM

(To First Time installers, System Needs to be set to Unmount, though it would really be mounted. If you do Not do this you will have a softbrick and will have to ODIN to stock and start all over ....) Once you have Flashed a Custom ROM or Bali 2.2 Kernel you dont have to worry about mounts

Quote:

AFTER THE ROM BOOTS, i Recommend letting it sit for about 5 mins without use so cache and stuff builds back up, then log into google from gmail/market or someway, let google sync for 5 mins then reboot again. then you will have your Sidekick 4G in the best state its ever been
