Following up on my ported Bali kernel, here's a "ROM" to use it with, even though this really isn't much of a ROM, but more of a base for other themers to work with. It's a deodexed version of our update, and includes Root, as well as my ported Bali kernel. Other than that, nothing should be different from the Stock ODIN update.
My test had a broken browser app, so I pulled the stock browser for KG1 and deodexed it.
-BaliKG1 port from Dr. Honk's original Bali kernel
-Deodexed and rooted
-Flash script from ayoteddy's roms
-Updated Market, and Voodoo Control app by Supercurio to make use of the Bali kernel.
This does include Bali, but the name isn't changed in settings, this will be an update to the Bali kernel when I get motivated to do it, as that is just an asthetic change, it doesn't make a difference to the actual functionality of the kernel.

Can this be flashed over a rooted KG1? I tried doing so and I softbricked. I'm in the process of ODINing to stock KG2.
Also, is it safe to restore the data from a KG1 nandroid?
This should work to flash from KG1, you may have softbricked because you didn't check your mounts before and after flashing? restoring data should be fine, make sure you wipe your dalvik-cache from the advanced menu in CWM after restoring your data so that it rebuilds.
Yea, I don't think I checked my mounts. I'm ODIN'ing to KG2, then I'll be rooting, CWM'ing, and then flashing this ROM. Thanks!
Let me know if you're still having problems, I'll do my best to help you out!
I got it to work. Thanks for giving me the heads up on the mounts. I'm sure that's what softbricked me. Thanks again!

So is this rom up to speed compared to Smooth Maximus GingerClone? I'm reading form T-Mobile support that it actually lags a lot more than stock rom. Can this be flashed from GingerClone? Or must I odin first?
This can be flashed from GingerClone, as it contains both the updated firmware and the updated kernel. This is not really intended to be a rom persay, but rather to be a base for other themers and devs to make roms with. There's no speed changes, other than the lagfix that comes from Bali.
I'm using it now. It is pretty good already with bali implemented. Other than Media Room becoming an active process periodically, the stock experience is going well. The disability of the track pad will be very helpful outdoors.
Also got a soft brick trying this. Goes to the boot screen, and the motor buzzes once, then twice in a row, pauses then does the buzzing again.
Double checked the mounts before doing it.
Can still get into recovery, but trying to reinstall packages gives an invalid signature error.
Ugh...
Then it didn't flash correctly. You would have red CWM if this flashed correctly. Odin back to stock and try again, as if you can't get into recovery correctly, you can't do anything from there. You may want to redownload to make sure that you get a good copy.
That's what I did. Odin to stoc kg2, rooted, added cwm recovery (orange) then used same copy i downloaded earlier to flash. Worked properly.
Might be worth a test, that this might not be cwm flashable over stock kd1. Thats 2 reports of it happening so far, and i am not a beginner in flashing or following directions. Just an annoyance really, odin was painless to use. (Now, having to reinstall windows on a old pc laptop, so much fun /sarcasm) ;P
I've done it before just fine, flashing on the SK4G is different from most phones, if you don't check your mounts before and after, then it will not work.
All ROMs here include a KD1 or KG2 specific kernel in addition to their specific systems, so as long as mounts are checked, everything is overwritten. /system is entirely wiped in the flashing process, and a new kernel is flashed. There is no possible way, given a correct flashing procedure and a ROM that includes a kernel (which as far as I know are all the ones here) that this would not work to flash KD1 over KG2 or vice versa.
So far, this is the fastest rom I've tried, thank you for creating it! Even if its stock.
This had serve me fantastically. Wish the same was available for kj2

Sadly, it is Bali/Voodoo-less.
Download link for this doesn't work. States the file has been deleted.
Does anyone have this file still?
Okay ... Don't laugh at me !! Have had the Charge since release date. This whole time I have been running stock rooted EE4 with CWM Voodoo Lagfix. I had to have a replacement phone sent to me as my CDMA radio died. Phone still worked on LTE radio. CDMA would be intermittent at best.
On to my question. I am planning to give GB a try and I am reading in threads about the toolbox and to access it via Term? I am assuming term is terminal function. This part is entirely new to me. Could someone point me to some term primers so I can research this?
Also, I have downloaded and extracted my Bloated_EG2__Gingerbread_ ODIN. Then I have
GummyCharged_GBE_2.0
GummyChargedGBE2.1
CWM_Recovery4008
I am assuming the EG2 includes CWM. If not, which will be easy enough to find out when I go to enter recovery, I will install the CWM I have downloaded. From what it appears to me, GBE_2.1 is an update to GBE_2.0 .... Thus I assume I need to install 2.0 followed by 2.1
Does this include voodoo lagfix? Or is that not needed when I up the phone to GB 2.3?
Just trying to sort this out and be informed before I start flashing this thing. The phone is stock out of the box EE4 as of right now.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx In Advance,
Steve

EG2 is really old, you may want to go with a more recent GB leak like EP1Q/EP1W/EP3H... second no rom packages include CWM but are for the most part all rooted, CWM you will have to install with Odin after the rom then flash Gummy 2.0 and the 2.1 patch with a bootup between each rom flash to make sure it worked properly
edit: probably should've answered more questions Gummy 2.0 has a kernel with voodoo lagfix so it will enable after flashing the rom on first bootup, also the command terminal is fairly straightforward to use, I think the Gummy rom threads have a how-to in the OP on basic terminal commands... also as for your radio not working, it was probably a 4G sim issue as the CDMA and LTE radios are both controlled by the sim so if one doesn't work the other won't either, there may just not be as strong a CDMA signal so it seemed like it wasn't working
Great info thanx .... now when I go to update to 2.0, from the reading and even watching the video, I am going to delete all caches prior to flashing the 2.0 ... with the 2.1 just being a patch, can I just install it after verifying 2.0 works? Or should I delete the big 3 again before that one?

just cache and dalvik I think (might not even need that but I'd probably do it to be safe), don't delete data or it will wipe Gummy off and you'll have to reflash
Okay ... So I am about to update to the latest pushed version. Am rolling back to EE4 now and have the update.zip on my card. What about CWM? Does my current version I've been using with my Gummy Charged 2.1 work with it? I have the Imosyn (sp) kernel on my card that I will apply after the update to 2.3.6 for root, as I understand it.
Are there any Gummy's or anything that are going to work after the 'official' update?
You don't use CWM with the update. You use stock recovery.
Gummy is EP1W. If you install it over the OTA, you'll bring yourself right back down to EP1, and the update will be pointless. You can get lagfix by running imoseyon kernel. It's EP4. It's slightly older EP4, but I haven't had any issues.

Thank you sir! Phone is updating now. I will apply the imoseyon kernel after it's done. Lagfix is the main thing anyhow, I can nuke the bloatness with my Titanium.
now I'm confused .... I no longer have CWM recovery. How am I to apply the imoseyon kernel via stock recovery? Can I just rename it as update.zip?
By taking it back to stock EE4 and installing the update, one of the things it did was restore the default recovery environment.
Go back into ODIN and install CWM, don't use Auto-Reboot. When it's done flashing, turn the phone off and hold the button combinations to start the phone into CWM. Flash iMoseyOn's kernel and you're done at that point.

Try installing Superuser from the Market? imosyeon kernel should have installed binary and apk, but maybe it missed part of it. If all else fails, flash the superuser zip from CWM.

Yes, I had installed SU from the market and didn't have root. I had an SU zip saved on my desktop .... su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed .... I put that on the sd and installed it and I am rooted !!

I love Lagfix and Voodoo Sound, but I'm currently running the stock kernel. I read in other forum discussion that Samsung designs their kernels to work with their OS revisions. People have said they're getting the best performance with the stock kernel.
Until IMoseyOn releases a new kernel based on the EP4D source that was released, I'm going to stick with stock.
Just some food for thought.

My concern was updating to 2.3.6 and having root. (on the road all day and need wireless tethering so outlook is open on laptop) Using the tad older imoseyon kernel gave me that, plus lagfix, which I have liked since this phone hit the market. I'm good for now, I can always update when the latest and greatest comes out.

I have root on the stock kernel bro. Did a clean EE4 install, skipped as much set up as possible, ran update.zip in stock recovery, ODIN flashed imnuts' latest CWM recovery with auto-reboot disabled, booted directly into CWM recovery, flashed the latest SU zip, then ran setup as normal. Boom! Root.
Completely clean install, latest OS and kernel, root, plus tether works and everything.
Right now I'm just waiting on imnuts' TW4 theme to launch (he's estimating Sunday). Hopefully I can install that theme over a debloated and deodexed version of the latest OTA. It won't be long before IMoseyOn releases a kernel built from source that enables Lagfix. That's really all I'm missing, since Voodoo Control lets me load most of Voodoo Sound on top of the stock kernel.
What I'm REALLY looking forward to is an release of Liberty for the Charge or something AOSP if we ever get the 4G RIL sorted out... This things will take considerable time though.
It just doesn't matter ... In all honesty I liked the feel of the Gummy GBE 2.1 better than this stock ginger ... but again, it just doesn't matter to me. Functionality is all I care about, it's only a damn phone !!!
I loaded up the debloated/deodexed/rooted all-in one package danalo posted in development, flashed perfectly and after a wipe in CWM on first boot seems to be running fine except for the poop

Care to make a thread of what you done? Files used? I want to re-root my Charge, but want to keep the latest ota update and radios. Main question is the "update.zip" file?
iMoseyOn has stated that he's not going to be developing kernels anymore due to him having to turn in all of his phones to his old employer. He's taken up a new job and because of that he has to return his phones, including the Droid Charge.

Yeah, I read last night. Awful news. I hope someone can just get us full Voodoo and EXT4 support. I don't absolutely need OC/UV, but it'd be nice...
In other bad news, imnuts is getting a Galaxy Nexus and only pledging support for the Charge for "a few more months."
Let's hope JT and the gang can get this RIL figured out, so we can at least have Team Douche to continue development with CM 7.2 and CM 9...

so my sgs4g was rooted and got on gb with the gb starter pack thread, after which i jumped around between a few roms and am currently running octaneGB.
however, it has always had stability problems, and i can't figure out why. possibly because i messed up bootloaders? i'm pretty sure it can't be the fault of the roms i flashed.
from here, all I want is a stable phone.
can i wipe the phone as it is and then use the oneclick heimdall SMS kj6? would this put me on rooted GB with CWM and good bootloaders? could i simply cwm flash a rom like valhalla after that?
any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Yes, you can use the one-click to put KJ6 on there then flash a different ROM via CWM.
Personally I've had the best experience with Valhalla ROMs. Last night I just flashed RAVERX3X latest Valhalla Black build. Its low profile so it's quick and responsive, and even better, not a single instability issue.

I did the first flash step, which worked successfully and rebooted my phone. then i tried to flash the bootloaders that came with it, but uploading PIT 1/10 failed, and it froze trying to end session. i pulled the battery and the phone seemed bricked, but i connected the cable and oneclick said it was connected (no download mode screen, no lights at all). so i did the initial one-click flash and let it reboot again, then flashed valhalla black.
nothing SEEMS to be wrong, but i'm a little scared. can anyone weigh in on what happened?
You're ok. I can't explain what happened but people have reported similar issues, nothing on the screen but it can be seen in ODIN, and were able to recover (as you did) just fine.

One-Click...
At the beginning of the week, I still had Froyo on my device.
I used Bryan's one-click (SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar)...
(I had a scare, too... which involved the so-called "Rainbow screen" -- but FB suggested I run the one-click, again and also to do the Bootloaders -- and everything turned out ok).
But, I needed to get CWM 5 (and, that particular one-click had CWM 3.0.2.8x)
So, I flashed an update of Bryan's kernel (sms-T959V-KJ6-v0.1.1-rc1-unsigned-update.zip)
And, because I was feeling overjoyed at all the goodness that I'd seen so far, I flashed RaverX3X's rc3.zip (from Team Acid's Source Forge site)...
And, life is really, really, really... good.
yep
+1 Valhalla black edition! Installed today and love love love.
ok... my phone is now crashing and rebooting all over the place after flashing valhalla black. it seemed fine for the first hour. should i try the one-click again? or did i not wait 10 minutes after flashing the rom, maybe?
anyone know what could be the problem?
thanks in advance!

Not sure about the crashing but I experienced reboots because of the kernel Valhalla Black uses. There are fixes out there for that part of the problem but what you should really is perform a factory data reset, do the one to get a ROM with CWM on it, then use CWM to install Valhalla Black per the instructions on the page for it. I've a feeling you'll be much more stable after that.
As for the 10 minutes, that's basically to allow your phone to rebuild the Davlik cache (cache with optimizations for your apps). Definitely let it sit while it does that just to be safe.
thanks yet again. will try this asap!
can i assume that my bootloaders are correct after the weird issues from the last page? you mentioned that it happened to several people, but it still bothers me that technically it never got past 1/10 uploading PIT file :x
also, regarding the problems with the kernel, can anyone point me to a kernel that works with valhalla final and is known to be fully stable? i want to try to do everything to get the phone usable.

If it was fully booting and you weren't getting the "rainbow" screen, then your boot loaders are fine. If in doubt, go check out bhundven's one-clicks, and run one of them - twice. The first time it doesn't let you check the boot loader box but the 2nd time it does.
Valhalla Final comes with bundven's beta 2c kernel. I believe people are running that without issue. Keep in mind Valhalla Final and Valhalla Black are two different ROMs with two different kernels.
I did a one-click back to stock (factory reset, cache wipes, etc.) & am running bhundven's latest beta kernel with no problems (thus far).
Inherited a Droid Charge running GummyCharged 2.1 from my housemate.
I want to switch to Eclipse 2.0. I know in order to run FP1 builds, you need to run stock kernel if you want wifi. Except, I also noticed that the PBJ kernel recently fixed the wifi issue.
I'm under the impression you're told to revert to stock, run OTA update, then flash your FP1 ROM so you have the latest stock kernel.
Or is there more to it than the kernel?
I'd rather skip the revert/flash/etc/etc, I updated to the latest CWM, made a backup, factory restored, wiped cache/dalvik, flashed ROM, flashed kernel, rebooted, everything seems fine (wifi working no issues). But... that doesn't mean that it is.
EDIT: Yeah, my baseband in About Phone shows i510.06 V.EE4 SCH-I510.EE1, which is what it was before. Can I get just the baseband?
Thanks!
By the way, I don't care about carrier signal at all, this phone got wet and no longer accepts SIM cards. The other functions still work, so I'm using it on wifi and I'm trying to re-purpose the device to be a portable offline GPS for hiking. But I did read that FP1 gets better GPS locks, which is part of why I want to run it.
U cant get the fp1 upgrade on a cstom rom. U have to go back to stock n get the ota upgrade. I suggest usin titanium to back up ur stuff then flash what u want. Stock fp1 or pjb 5/24 r both good, but u gta get back to factory first.

Actually, I figured "what you do do well" and I decided to follow the suggested directions. I used ODIN, restored to stock EP4... and couldn't get past the main screen. Can't read SIM cards, so can't get past the activate screen. I then flashed back an FP1 rom, the latest PBJ kernel, and [attempted] to use the EP4 to FP1 patch, which hung and failed.
It looks like if I want to get my baseband to FP1, I'll have to jump through hoops (maybe flashing a stock EP4 pre-rooted ROM from ODIN? maybe?) Regardless, since the CDMA antenna in this thing is useless anyway, I'm just gonna skip it.
Thank you for your reply!
Well, now that you have borked your phone a bit, go and download the EP4 ODIN package and flash it (in ODIN or SamsungPST). Might not be a bad idea to flash the PIT while you're at it. You'll probably have to flash CWM, and then PBJ from within CWM (stock kernel overwrites it) Then go and try flashing your ROM of choice again (cough *tweaked* cough), either in ODIN (with the respective package) or CWM. (again with the proper package).
