Best GB Leak Rom/ How to Install - Verizon Droid Charge

What is the best GB leak rom for droid charge?
How do I install it?
Right now running Eclipse 1.3.1 froyo ee4.

There's Eclipse, Humble, GummyCharged, and stock/debloated Gingerbread versions. It's your pick. You install the same way you installed that Froyo rom, but going back you have to repartition and restock your phone.

what do u mean by this "but going back you have to repartition and restock your phone"
what is the better one to use?

I mean if you ever want to go back to Froyo you have to COMPLETELY re-stock your phone (stock rom, kernel, and partitions) before you can flash your EE4 rom of choice. Instructions are somewhere in the stickies...

Humble hasn't been updated in a very long time, and I have never tried Eclipse. GummyCharged GB has a lot more stability issues than the Froyo version, but then again, all of them do.

alright so i should just stay with froyo then? If i understand you right all I do is download the rom and install it like i did eclipse and humble correct? Nothing else special?

Froyo is generally considered more stable, due to having source available. Given that it's your choice (the really good part of Android IMO).
I'm not sure how you installed the other ROM's, but you are going to need to ODIN to get to gingerbread, and ODIN to get back. Obviously all data is going to be wiped etc, what I tell guys at work that want my help with this, is to make sure they read the thread of whatever they are doing, as I won't help them without them understanding the terminology at the very least....
The big difference I think for most is voodoo support on froyo, vs non on gingerbread, most see a bit of a performance boost.
The only real one that can decide is you...

thanks for all the help

Yes, the dev should have some instructions in their OP. It's completely your decision if you want to go GB. I've been to GB twice, and I keep going back to Froyo because it's more stable and there's no real reason to switch yet. YMMV, and you may fall in love with GB, but that was my experience.
EDIT: There is EXT4 for GB, so Voodoo is kind of negligible.

That would be a mistake, don't do it.
They say that the OCLF is not good so I would also say that to you. There's no difference with or without that lagfix. It just uses hack or something to make it look faster on the quadrant test or any other benchmarks.

ok thank you for all the responses
I've used oclf on stock 2.2, and I must say the roms here are MUCH better in terms of performance, and they have built in lagfix through CWM.
the O in OCLF should stand for OLD...
all the new kernels/roms support real EXT4 support for user and system areas.
real lagfix..
you are already in the right place to find your next steps...

First, must current lagfixes are not"hacks". They are a method used to change the stock (samsung) file system, rfs, to a faster file system, ext4. By accessing the file system faster, the phones performance is increased.
Second, QUADRANT BENCHMARK IS USELESS FOR A CAPTIVATE. The method of benchmarking does not accurately measure the performance of the Hummingbird processor (exclusive to Captivate). Honestly, I've never heard of a benchmark that CAN accurately measure this processor.
You can install OCLF on your phone, and your benchmark will be around 1800-1900, but it will still be clunky. Install one of the roms here (im running Continuum and love it) and your phone will be much more responsive, but the quadrant score will probably be around 1500 +/-.
In the end, its up to you. Just do more research before you do anything.

If you must have the stock then i would suggest using [ROM] Cognition 4.3.1 | The Original Captivate Rom
its a really good ROM and extemely fast and light weight, plus its stock-ish if thats what you want.

It would be safe. Install ext2 tools, then run OCLF.
installed one click about 2 weeks ago from the market on a stock 2.2,fixed the lag for me,then installed bloat freezer for the att apps,noticed better battery life,I'm taking baby steps before i actually flash cognition,lol,but so far so good with ryans 1 click
If you decide to flash a rom later, undo the lagfix AND uninstall ext2 tools first. If you don't, you'll be back here, asking how to unbrick your phone (I've been there).
thanks guys for all the responses..as of right now, im holding on to the lagfix and just cruising with the stock rom..prolly gonna flash cognition tonight, seems like stock battery life is draining to fast!

Thats better since cognition has the voodoo lagfix built into it, oclf was "good" when it first came out but when proper ext4 lagfixes came out oclf became useless.

Help Picking A Rom

I rooted my device with a kernel and I have EE4. What rom will be good? I had the thunderbolt and used CM7. I know the droid charge dont have that yet. Im a bit confused about all the different numbers that i see around the forums. With the thunderbolt all you needed to know is which radio to have installed with the rom. Some please point me to the good roms that will work.
Im stock right now with root. EE4
I'd recommend Eclipse 1.3.1 for SURE. Having tried both GC and Humble beforehand I can seriously say Eclipse is great. I just like how much better Eclipse looks over the other ones. Sure themes can change that but just try Eclipse out and see how it goes. If you don't like Eclipse then Humble is certainly the one you will like.
If you're worried about losing apps or other such things just download Titanium Backup(just pay for the full version, it's much better if you are going to backup/restore alot).
also, this should be in the general section

can you shoot me a link? Also same way to install like on my thunderbolt right? Either use rom manager and select the rom on my sd card or boot into recovery?
gummy, eclipse, and humble are all great. I have found trade offs with each but the developers are actively involved in the forum and are constantly working on their roms to you just have to find which one you like best...but you will switch from time to time anyway if you are like the rest of us
I have stayed away from the GB roms since there seem to be a few bugs and I was never really impressed with GB on my DX. I still run froyo on that phone.
Ya, stick with Froyo for now.
I've used both Eclipse & Humble and both have benefits. I prefer Eclipse 1.3.1 for now...very fast, decent battery & good looking GUI.
if i install eclipse 1.3.1 will i lose root since i used a kernel to get root?

Nope.
Purchase Titanium Backup if you have not. Back up all your apps/system aps. Download an app to back up your SMS if you want and boot into recovery.
Wipe data, cache, go to advanced and wipe delvik. Back to main screen and install rom from sd card and reinstall your info and data.

No you won't lose root. You need to read the faq in the general section. Charge is very different than TB. Don't use rom manager for any thing. It doesn't work w/ the charge.

I tend to disagree with the froyo. IMO from a rom developer standpoint, even a buggy GB rom is better than froyo, it lacks many things. Im using the Eclipse GB rom now, and really very little in buggy. Now GB roms are lacking a solid kernel that you can undervolt and overlock, the Eclipse GB does lag at times (no i have not yet tried to do the EXT4 hack then used a GB rom.
One thing im not fond of with this phone coming from a EVO 4G and MT4G is that its super laggy, i know it works better with ext4... also the recovery way... when i reboot into recovery... i have to reboot to it.. then pull the battery then it will boot into recovery.
Idk, but I can't get away from Eclipse 1.2. It runs the fastest out of any rom.

Unless I am missing something somewhere I don't believe there is lagfix for GB? If so it would tend to be more "laggy". I notice no lag using froyo and lagfix enabled. I do not overclock.

wait till imnutz finishes the aosp vendor repo for the charge... when AOSP 2.3.4 roms start coming out... it will change the whole face of the ROM world for the charge.
only need to odin for radios... recovery included in rom.... boots into recovery right... all crap removed(OS level crap not just bloatware)... i check his github everyday.

Just flash the rom. You only need to flash a kernel if you are planning on changing it. If you already have the kernel you are planning on running with the rom just wipe data and install the rom.
I am running the froyo eclipse with the honeycomb theme and it is awesome. Battery life is great and I would highly recommend it. I am running it with imnuts non overclocked voodoo kernel.

[Q] New to Charge. Root questions...

First of all I did search and found some info but it wasn't really helpful... I'm new to the Charge. I've had many android phones before and have never had problems rooting and flashing roms. I've searched and I've seen the instructions on how to root and they look like they're in another language. Does anyone have more clear instructions on how to root??? Any help, asap, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
we are in the same page buddy....

Hey Brandon, this thread gives a great description on how to root your charge. => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14692818
If you still have questions feel free to ask, and I'll try to answer them as best as i can.
Ok, so i got it rooted and just installed a de-bloated stock Rom. Its ok, but now question is, if i decide to install a gingerbread Rom or any other Rom such as gummycharged, can i just install like i did on my bolt or x in cwm or do i have to use this odin program? if i have to use odin, how do i go about installing that way? thanks in advance...

For most roms, like gummycharged fe 2.0 and gbe 2.0 you just need CWM. I'm sure the process is the same as your bolt but just to be clear: Place the rom's zip you want on the sd card, boot into CWM, wipe date, dalvik cache, and cache partition, and then install the rom from the sd card. =) There are also some roms that come as full-odins, where you flash the package through odin and it does the work for you. That being said, you shouldn't run into that many unless you are un-rooting your phone. Hope that made sense. let me know if it doesn't.
Sweet. Thanks alot dude. That's awesome to know. I don't really wanna get into messing with odin. I like being able to do everything from my phone and not having to hook up to the laptop.

LOL, I was just coming in here to ask that exact same question as the OP. The wording was almost verbatim what I was going to say. The majority of experience I have had with Android is with HTC phones. I have rooted a few tablets as well. The instructions for the charge root are super confusing compared to previous devices.
My big issue is with the terminology. Like what is EE4, EPF1? Are there certain kernels that only work with certain roms? How easy is it to completely pooch the phone if I click on the wrong button in Odin? Can I make a nandroid backup and swap roms on the fly using Rom Manager depending on my moods or is it more complex then other android phones?
I haven't checked out the posts yet in this thread but seeing as how at least one other person has been just as confused as me I'm wondering if someone out there that has experience with both Samsung and lets say HTC phones can make a simple guide that makes comparisons to other rooting processes. For people that arn't used to Samsung phones, these instructions can be very overwhelming and there doesn't seem to be a newbie thread out there that gives information on all the abbreviations used and what they mean.

EE4, EP1W, ect are OS build numbers. EE4 is the current official release Froyo build. EP1W is the latest leaked Gingerbread build we have. Those are pretty much the only two version you want to worry about right now. There are Froyo kernels and Gingerbread kernels. Any Froyo kernel will work with any Froyo ROM, and any GB kernel will work with any GB ROM.
Only mess with the PDA button in Odin and you'll be fine. Forget the Phone button even exists, because that's the button that can get you into trouble. You can use the PIT button as well if you have the charge.pit file, but it's not normally necessary, so only do that if you have a reason.
ROM Manager is useless with this phone. There are reports that there is a version of CWM from it that will work with the Charge, but it doesn't work nearly as well as the latest imnuts CWM. The orange CWM dated 8/17 will let you do nandroid backups...you just need to boot directly into it and do them from CWM itself and forget about ROM Manager.

kernels for all roms on the Charge are installed in CWM, as for GB kernels you can't go wrong with any of Imoseyons voodoo ones... radios don't necessarily need to be updated but I've noticed a big improvement with the latest EP1W modems, however the results vary on different phones I've seen

AT&T official gingerbread for Captivate discussion

I am opening this thread to discuss the new official release from AT&T and Samsung. Details can be found here.
I'm not sure why discussion rooting was a reason to close a thread, but I guess a overzealous mod is better than no mod.
I hate to burst your bubble but there's already an active thread about the official AT&T Gingerbread release.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437947
I am not sure how much needs to be discussed. It is the same rom that was leaked back in 11/16/2011. Developers have done some amazing stuff with the Rom so far. All that is left for them to do really is add BLN and voodoo color to the kernel. I am not sure if having the source will do anything more for the Rom themselves.
FYI - Mod don't like ppl reopening closed threads.
yes I was active on that thread. It was locked by a mod because people started to discuss how to root the new release. zergRush does not work on it.

I also had Tethering manage FC on me, but only right after I flashed it on the first reboot. I have not seen it FC again. I am very familiar with the Fugu kernel swap and think it great method, but my issue that I don't have a source of the kies released KK4 kernel. Do you know how to gernerate or extract an ODIN flashable kernel from the running image?
I'm running Cyanogenmod kang build 7.2 right now but I gotta ask is it worth going to stock gingerbread? How stable is it? I'll be honest I miss some of the touchwiz apps, but IMO the stock froyo rom sucked. At the very least I'd probably root and remove the AT&T BS, but IMO The froyo rom ran slower and buggier than the stock eclair rom! I really just want everyone's general opinion of it. Its a tough call. I got my phone running pretty stable with Cyanogenmod right now and its out of warrenty anyway so it might not even be worth my time anyway.

Check the KK4 leak thread for the tar.
No one has confirmed that the KK4 leak is exactly the same of the offical KK4. That is my only hesitation. I would like to be sure that I am running the AT&T KK4 release

Well the camera is a heck of a lot better the AOSP. It's worth it, even though it's still RFS, it's snappy and way better the KB1 ever was.
Yeah speaking of rfs I'd definitely be putting a lag fix on. I might look into it, and yes I agree about the camera, in fact honestly the hate against touchwiz is unwarranted. All the touchwiz apps are better, even the launcher is better than vanilla android one(not counting cyanogenmod that uses adw, which is one if the best). Only thing I did notice is without touchwiz the rom is faster, so obviously it adds bulk but the apps are so much better!

I never did get slacker radio and maps working at the same time on kk4. Even with tweaks I mentioned in another thread, slacker started dying after about a day of use. No problems like that with cm7. Thats why I am mostly interested if they actually made any changes from the leak. I doubt it though.
Ginger Bread is here
Im updating currently to official ginger bread
Didn't you notice that Samsung & at&t dropped lots of original Gingerbread features? like the CRT screen-off animation... I can't find it on the new official GB update one.
Is CarrierIQ still present in the official build? Curious. It was in the leak.

Is it True? Samsung pulled Gingerbread from server?

Samsung said they found a issue in the gb released and pulled it from their servers, is this True? Samsung claims to have the issue fixed by Friday.

Good to know there taking a look at it.

At least we will have something else to look forward to. Plus 17 new threads about it. Lol

Maybe they realized the FW they released was KL2, and not the "official" build...

Perhaps if we all ask real nice they'll put it back up prerooted...
Why Bother
Why bother with this total fail of an upgrade when there are so many better custom ROM's to choose from right here on xda?
I'm on Infused v2.2.3 and really like it but considering making the move to ZEUS soon.
I just can't see any reason to make a giant leap backward with the AT&T GB upgrade. It's just too little too late. YMMV though.
Maybe Samsung decided to use Zeus?
(Actually the GB release is running really well for myself. I haven't even rebooted yet since install last week.)

Yeah who likes a 100% working phone anyway, right?
meh.
now I know why there are no sources yet. and yeah the update is important if not just for sorcery code. never mind Samsung and att having respect for the customers....
think of how much better the roms can be if we don't have to mix libs from different leaks to fix video recording or playback and workarounds for the sdcard and wifi. and if they actually have HDMI. then we could swap kernels around without considering switching vold.fstab. yeah I hope the update is fixed soon so the code can be released finally.
someone is gonna have to get the update files and decrypt them to get a stock kernel though. (to extract initramfs and the root process will require a kernel to revert to until custom kernels are made.)
If you consider hdmi 100 percent, then I guess im running a 99 percent working rom......yea.....im good with that

hey I'm using Zeus myself. but I use the kl2 kernel on it and it would be nice if you didn't need to change vold.fstab back to stock to do so. I just want source code for new kenrels that could be maintained as all the old kernels were developed by people who are no longer here.

Dani, you are running zeus with the stock kernel?
I remembered dman said trying to run stock kernel in zeus will boot loop.
There were scripts not supported by stock kernel.
To make it run, just disable lagfix?
Just curious...

the init.d scripts wont run. that's true. but you should be able to change kernels after a reboot. its running for me. I didn't look at the scripts to see what other things I'm missing but the rom runs fine without the tweaks and lagfix.

What would the point of running zeus without the tweaks?
I'm not sure that is why I ask. Isn't kinda like running stock uckl2?

well I ran it with infuseion a few days, but I get the themes, the rom is deodexed, and when ever I deodex something it seems to run weird either slow or choppy. Zeus doesn't. I dunno what dman uses to deodex but it works better than what I have used.
