Hey guys...Fascinate user switching over

So i should be getting my charge in on thursday. I am on my 4th fascinate and just cannot put up with this shut anymore. Missed called, mass storage failures, voicemail eff ups...ect.
So i just want to intruduce myself...hopefully rooting and flashing procedures go just about the same as the fassy...i have started to read up on it a little but will do more so tomorrow.
I am going to miss aosp cm7 and the glitch kernel(best kernel ever). Hopefully this phone wont give me as many hicups as my fascinate did.

Also i have not done enough reading up yet. If i am stuck with touchwiz for now will my charge atleast have voodoo?
Also how would you guys compare this phone to a fascinate? I have heard it is just a slightly beefed ul version of it. Anyone having missed calls or mass storage issues with it?

Another fascinate use, i am getting my charge tomorrow and am getting very excited seeing that many people from fascinate are coming to the charge. I have been reading and seeing what people are writing about the charge. It looks like Charge threads may start to take off like fascinate ones did.

It seems like with verizon letting fascinate owners upgrade to the charge for free without using an upgrade a lot of people are hopping on the band waggon. Hopefully the charge will get some aosp goodness in the near future

I've had my Charge for about a week now, coming from Fassy too.
Yes, we do have voodoo for Froyo Roms and ext4 for GB roms.

r2doesinc and xoomdev are gonna get started on OMFGB for the Charge. I PM'd him last wknd and he said that they had a couple loose end to tie up in respect to other devices. He wants to put his full attention into the charge and not have 20 different projects going. I dont think we are gonna have to wait as long as we did with the fassy for AOSP.
With that said, if you are coming from the fassy and were using either CM7 or OMFGB yhen I recommend going with Gummy Charge. Its really stripped down and gives the feel of AOSP.

I talked to R2Doesinc last night in IRC. I told him my charge was coming wednesday and i heard that OMFGB was coming to the charge. I said i ran it on the fascinate and loved it so i was so excited to hear it was coming to the charge. He said he was actually starting to work on it last night so i am hopeful it will be here very soon. But in the meantime i am going to follow GOS as he always gives good advice on what to use.

Have already been researching roms/kernels and im going to go with gummy charged and pb otb version. Is the pb otb version currently the only kernel that allows oc/uv?
CM7/Glitch ML 1.5ghz/Steel Blue tapatalkin

Hey guys, add me to the list of people jumping over from the Fascinate.
I am interested in a de-bloated ROM that stays pretty true to the stock build. Since this phone is brand new to me, I'd like to stick with a "mostly" OOTB experience, save rooting and de-crapifying.
What ROM/Kernel would be best for this? Sounds like GummyCharge is the winner at the moment.

Fassy Refugee here too. So far with 1 day of use I'm really liking the charge. It gets 4 3g bars where the fassy was lucky to get 1, also it is much snappier than the stock fassy i had to run for a week. I'm just hoping that cm7 and MIUI make it to the charge soon.I miss MIUI.....

I just got my charge today. Coming from fassy, so I like the fact that its pretty much the same set up. I haven't been on stock in so long I have a few questions. how to get the keyboard to capitalize the letter i automatically?
How do i add words to the dictionary when they pop up under suggestions?
How do i find out what's causing my internal storage to be almost full?
Thanks!

EE4 de-bloated is closest to stock. GummyCharged has alot of AOSP apps integrated in. If you like the TW experience go w/ debloated EE4

Another ex-Fassy user here too. ;D
So far,I'm loving my Charge. The screen is AMAAAAAAZING. D:
It puts my Fassy's screen to shame, lol. It's very crisp and vibrant. I don't have LTE in my area yet, but according to two different stores, we should be getting it sometime this week.

The charge is a beast, in my opinion. Then again, I came from an LG Versa, so even a Fassy or a G'z Commando...or OG Droid would be a beast.

I've never had a Fascinate but I help a lot of customers with theirs and I think the screen looks great. I don't know what you're talking about.
Also, welcome to Droid Charge City guys.
Everyone else can take their metal frames, quad scores and dual cores and shove em up their butt holes. I don't care if this phone is considered "last year's specs"; there is nothing boring about this stealthy ninja....I can't say the same for any other.
The physical shape of the phone is awesome too. It just looks COOL!!!
I wish I had some pull in this world so I could have Samsung build me an LTE GS2 in a Droid Charge body. Maybe Samsung will go the route of the Moto Droid and keep each of their "Droid" branded phones looking the same. That would be awesome. I would skip on the Function if I knew Samsung was building a Charge 2.
Also, TW all the way now. Embrace the colors capabilities of this screen. It has film-like quality. Samsung was the only phone manufacturer to get an "Outstanding" rating for their screens when it came to contrast...according to some standards organization.

Just got my charge in but I am having some problems activating it. Called customer service on my fassy but need another phone to call in. I am already sick of the puzzle piece unlock. I just want this phone activated so I can start rooting it already!

I know this is a silly question but did you get the sim card?

TB to Charge - Advice Wanted

Because of the many issues with the TB, VZW has swapped out a charge as a replacement for my thunderbolt. Received the charge yesterday afternoon and I have already replaced the ROM using Odin with the ep1w which appears to be a stock rooted gingerbread rom.
I looked over the custom ROMs but since I've been with HTC phones for years they look a bit foreign to me and I don't know which one is which, what the differences are nor do I have a clue what "voodoo" is that I keep reading about.
I like a ROM that is clean looking (looked at Darkslide and the look of it made me cringe), doesn't have tons of added in features that break the basic services. I expect to learn more as I spend time in these forums now but for now I would like to get this phone up to speed without bricking or breaking it.
All advice and help will be read, considered and appreciated.

Here is the official page of Voodoo.
It is basically a tweak, that improve the color, sound and lag fix for Galaxy S phones, that's including Droid Charge as they are using the same processor.
You might want to check out GummyCharged ROMs, they look like vanilla stock Android. There are two versions, Froyo (FE) and Gingerbread (GBE).
There are also some other ROMs on other forums, that I'm not allowed to post the link here, google it =)

Yup, thanks!

For rom recommendations I say try out infinity or gummy gbe. Both are gingerbread and supposedly good, though I haven't tried gummy gbe because infinity is great, both are available over at rootzwiki

Voodoo is EXT4 which many HTC's have that support.
I am using gummy charged gbe and I like it a lot. The status bar will force close ever now and then (pretty rare and it happens when you charge to 100% battery) but other then that it is smooth. Here is the rom. http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?6634-ROM-EP1W-CWM-GummyCharged-GBE-2.0-9-28-2011&
I would also apply supercharger tweaks. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...K0jfQLLLQ&sig2=MdzoMAhAadsmDvMvAmreiQ&cad=rja Download that and then download busybox installer, install version 1.18.2 and reboot. Then you will need script manager, open the script you downloaded and make sure you check "run as root." Follow the prompts and do option 12 for a HUGE improvement.
If you want a clean look then check out the theme I ported over from an HTC phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282585
And! Welcome to the Droid Charge forums, I hope you enjoy your new phone .

Thanks or the help and advice. I did put up Infinity rom and it seems pretty nice. No issues so far but its only been since last night.
As for gummycharge, the minute you mention fc's (even if only occasionally) and also when charged to 100 percent, you lose me. That's what I'm trying to get away from.
As for the other stuff, I'll take a look at it in the next few days. I want to live with each change so I know where I'm at before I push something else to this phone. Makes it a lot easier to troubleshoot if a problem arises. When you dump too much stuff on the phone all at the same time and something goes wrong you don't really have a starting point to work from in term of what is causing the issue.

The Gummy GBE RC edition was rather stable. I ran it since it came out, only having to go back to stock cause I have to go to Verizon later today.

[Q] Best ROM for the MT.

I'm coming from LG Revolution land and my girlfriend has the MT. She wants her phone to be like mine and be able to tether, get rid of the dumb VM boot animation (and the power off animation if possible), and have a different theme more like mine which is kindof like GB but at the same time completely different. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me.
Also, I'm a major fan of the thanks button and I hit it everytime someone helps me out.

Let's see...
PunkROM has a couple extra themed apps and in some respects looks more like Gingerbread and sometimes a little different; it's also been out longer than mine.

I've tried them all except for punk and its come down to bouncing back and forth between cm7 and miui. why would you settle for froyo when gingerbread is so stable now? For a minute miui was the best but now that the beta cm7 are fully functional and butter smooth I am finding myself less inclined to flash and that is amazing! Ruined my Samsung captivate while I was still learning, be very careful going back to froyo roms from gingerbread on that one. Darkys killed it! My Triumph however seems unbrickable and is overclocked and stable. The stock rom was a joke and I got rid of that clumsy bastard the third day. Thanx to all the devs for working hard and kikin ass!

In CM7 - You don't--at this time anyways--unless you don't mind certain things not working since the only kernel is old and outdated at this time or unless you build your own OC kernel for CM7.
There's a couple of OC kernels available for FROYO roms atm. Just check the Dev section.

CM7 or MIUI are good ROMs, now they have worked out most of the bugs for this phone besides HDMI and something with camera mirror.
I switched over from the Optimus V and I have a gtablet, im really pleased by CM7 on this phone. I haven't had any problems at all, and the battery life with the last two releases on CM7 is great.
I will try the MIUI ROM as well though, I just chose CM7 because I have had prior experience with it.

I've never had any problems with my phone on the stock-ish ROM, but then again even on my desktop Skype appears to be mirrored (although the other side is okay)... from what I've heard, this is the way desktop Skype works.

I believe the HDMI and Mirroring problem are the custom ROM bugs, but I didn't stay on stock ROM longer then one day to find out how it was.
I am used to rooting and custom ROM's now, for me it's interesting to try different things out customizing my phone.
Edit: sorry for the confusion if I implied that HDMI and Mirroring on the camera are stock ROM bugs.

I'm refusing to switch to the Gingerbread Cyanogen mod simply because it doesn't have hdmi output. Even though I can't use the HDMI output anyway. There's probably a pill to alleviate that.

I'm refusing until you can use wifi with bluetooth, and the niggling audio bugs I keep reading about go away.
I hear that the gingerbread development is winding down now, so we may just be stuck with current cm7 and miui for a while...without fixes.
If I could just figure out what is killing battery so much faster than my optimus V, I'd be happy....

b_randon15 has a newer cm7 kernel that he claims takes care of the wifi/bluetooth issue. I'd give it a try, but I cant get clockwork to work!

Captivate kk4 based rom opinions.

Just curious about what everyone's opinions are about the roms out there based on kk4. I'm on cyanogenmod 7.2 Kang build right now, but after upgrading my wife's phone to official gingerbread I'm thinking about going back to a stock based rom. Seems really fast and smooth. Mainly I'm looking for a rom with the Tmobile theme engine and screenshot capabilities as I'd miss those if I left cyanogenmod. I'm still debating whether or not to go back to a stock based rom.

I like the roms, nice and fast, good bluetooth.
No lag except that damn gallery bug, but i get that on other versions and on stock rogers gingerbread aswell.

Go to the market, get quickpic, you'll forget about the stock gallery entirely.

Well really just curious what everyone's using. Honestly there doesn't seem to be as many supported stock-based roms as their was on the earlier GB betas. I always used Cognition, but the most current version hasn't had an update since like July. I'm happy with Cyanogen for the most part, though it seems a bit buggier than stock. Really I just want a stock based rom with the theme engine and screenshot feature.

There are apps in the market that allow this. Shoot me is what i use...it also has a video feature, that will take a screen shot every so many seconds (depending on what you set it to) and then make it an mp4.
Oh and for theme support on a tw ROM, go to the market and get darky ota that should work. It injects the proper images and compiled xmls INTO the existing ROM, I've used it on mosaic, should work on all tw roms, I'd make a backup zip of the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk first though, that you can flash if it doesn't work. Or just reflash the ROM.

Yeah, but no theme engine. You have to flash them. Only the collectives have themes, and the others may have ICS themes.

I've thought about maybe just going to stock, removing the bloatware, installing corn kernal, installing a screenshot program, and then using UOT to get my themeing the way I want and calling it a day. That could work I suppose.

I'm using the KK4-based version of SauROM (note that there's an I9000-based version too, which I haven't tried). It's mostly pretty nice, except that after a full day or maybe day and a half of use, the browser tends to go loopy. It freezes up and becomes non-responsive, and appears to be hogging the CPU, as hitting the home button doesn't repsond either. If I just put the phone down and walk away for half an hour, it's usually fine again when I get back, but I tend to just reboot instead which also fixes it. I find this annoying, but it's just infrequent enough to be tolerable. I've been meaning to try a different ROM to see if it's universal or not.

Well I was on stock rogers 2.3.3. and I found it very laggy. no matter what launcher I used: go, adw, lp, even sbp shell. after a while lag would start up that would require a reboot or the phone would just shut off. Games would start out fine then start lagging. I then flashed cm7 and noticed an immediate improvement with minor overclocking but I would still get that lag, but not as bad as stock.
I then flashed teamhacks 4.0.3 ics rc14. I can never go back to GB. It is so intuitive, very smooth. The transitions are amazing. Even with no overclocking it is miles faster than stock or CM7. I was considering buying a new phone but now I will not be.
Since you are on cm7 now why don't you flash ics . its very simple to do since you already have cm7 installed. then you can decide

I thought about it, but I'm kind of waiting for stable CM9 to be complete first. I hear it has an issue with rebooting during calls. Trust me though I'm very eager to try out ICS. I ended up going with Illuminance, so far so good. I'm currently restoring all my apps ATM. I'll report back after I"m done.
This is off topic but why is Titanium backup soo sooo slow? Why do I have to sit there and say "install" and "done" on everything? I wish I could have all the time back in my life I spent restoring stoff with titanium backup

I too was reluctant to go from CM7 to CM9, but I eventually flashed it just to check it out, with no intention of staying. Long story short, I've been using CM9 for the past two weeks and it's definitely stable enough to be a daily driver, IMHO. I believe the phone call reboot was solved (I've never had it anyway), the only issue I have had was charge death, but that was solved by switching to the Glitch kernel. If you are waiting for it to be stable, your time may have come
As far as TB is concerned, the paid version lets you batch restore your apps. Well worth the $5 or however much it was.

So far so good on ilkuminance but I miss my screen shot feature, and all the apps in the market suck. Why would I want a camera icon hogging up my screen? Anyway, I may try ICS sooner than later

I ran all of the stock GB roms, was not super impressed with them, switched to the SauROM KK4 and Love it. Very smooth, seems less buggy then stock kk4. Have had a few issues of it being unresoponsive for a minute or so everyonce in a while, but it seems to be rare.

Try SauromKK4 or FastyKK4
Advantage of SauROM is that it is one click Heimdall, and really hard to mess up.
I then tried Fasty - also pretty good.
I got the impression that SauROM is smoother.
But that Corn 7.0.5 kernel is buggy - beware!

I tried a few of the KK4 roms, but eventually went back to CM7 and Kangs because the speed and responsiveness.
Now I have a Captivate Glide and am waiting for dev to ramp up for it. The Glide is what I really wanted when I got the original a year and a half ago, so I am happy.

[Q] ROM choice?

I was wondering what was a better ROM to use for the Infuse, ZEUS by dman, or the CM7 port?

I was using CM7 and tried Zeus 3, but ended up switching back. I didn't like it. When I saw the 5 version posted, I decided to give Zeus another try. Other than a brief GB stock try, I haven't strayed from what Dman has wrought with Zeus 5.2.

IMO Zeus is the way to go, everything works but HDMI and Dman's 5.2 build is rock solid and it's hard to go wrong with an Infuse native rom!
If you are new to flashing roms, gtg's Infused GB rom has a step by step flash guide HERE
And if you want to browse the other gazillion roms check out the superthread HERE

zeus
noob,new to flashing, took a stab ended up choosing zeus. rooted,flashed,odin to stock,"soft-bricked"(dog's fault),Gtg's odin recovery, flashed again(all without posting a single ?, not because I'm smart, but because these devs are!) I love it, am having some wi fi issues i am trying to figure out. Going to try other's, even the dman recommends, just to try, i am sure i will end up running with zeus.
ps dman sent you a donation and a pm(realize now u probably don't read them), but thanks for showing me how much I love my infuse!

I CAN FROM BIONIX TO ZEUS AND it's awsome, no freeze like bionix when you unlock the screen, altough when you get a call, it tends to not responsive on the first swipe, the second try will do it. i think it's lag
i just hope it uses less memory, it's about 200~250 when you start up the phone, so far so good
speaker on both roms sucks. i drive all day and i need speaker to be really loud, both are not load enough for me. anyone have any apps or hacks that turn your speaker up?
try the zeus 5.2 it's awsome
i flashed it over bionix without going stock.

Volume+ in the market works well for me on phone and tablet.

ZEUS is the only way to go, IMO.

I tried Zeus briefly, and if I had spent the time to fix the wifi I can see why so many people like it, but I love the look of CM7, and for my use it's been great, so I went back. If you want a stock rom, would vote Zeus, (might eventually go back to Zeus if bluetooth never gets sorted out on CM7) but CM7 is a solid port, looks good and flashes easy.

Wifi ain't broke bruh... never was, never has been... only thing doesn't work is HDMI.... period...
ZEUS decimates all!

On my flash, it had issues, and from what I found on the 4000 page Zeus thread, there had been others having the same issue. I gave up trying to find the mentioned fix, sure it was there, just couldn't find it. I had flashed the ICS theme and hadn't liked the changes so I went back to CM7.
Next time I try Zeus, I'll go back to stock first as recommended on your install instructions, I'm sure I'll have better luck. Currently I'm waiting to see if the new old stock Gingerbread pushes Zeus to 5.3

rom review by a newbie user
I try this roms and Im more focused on battery juice and customability options...
Im heavy user not in things like widgets or music or videos, but I do make many calls, use mail and chat by whatsapp.
so I tell you my best (and tried) roms
caty 3.0 the fast in everything (reboot, display etc), perfect battery for smartphone, i have to use it with uckk4 b/c with newers modems no good work for my slow data.
zeus: its almost like caty for me, totally recomend specially for themes.
darkyrom, cool rom, love the touchwiz! customable, has the darky ota, an app that you can use to change thing, its like rom manager but with many options for download.
sauron rom, my current rom, i like it because of the fully customable options in power menu, settings, it is fast like darky, almost the same but with more customable options.
CM7, stable, nice boot animation, have the plus of everything the cyanogen team has to offer in a simple gingerbread launcher.
miui, I like touchwiz! I like it, the music, and themes! its so different and beatifull, but the battery issue its something important to me, the rom its not bad, remember that battery issues exist in all smartphones, but if you are not a heavy user, go for it!
I hope it helps you.
Remember that this review its just a guide, you have to try it by your own and see what it fits, you have to explore the personalizations options.

When you downloaded the darky rom? Did you have version 10.4 and in which case would you upload? I only have version 10.3 didn't realize that there was an update so I never downloaded it. A couple of different users were asking for it, so I looked and realized I didn't have the latest.
Also, because this is a port, the darky ota app does not work with this phone, and I'm PRETTY sure that it's not included... wouldn't work if it was. There's no hellraiser on the go.. lol.
If you look in the last couple pages of boost's MIUI thread, as of 2-15-12 anyway.. then you will see some tips to improve the battery life of MIUI. That should help you..

Before you make your rom final...I myself flashed damm near all the ROMs...gave the wife a headache... lol...
But figured I can honestly say I tried them....my final after many flashes...and lots of the wife rolling her eyes....lol
NUMAS X v1.1 Black & Chrome'd out!

Change your launcher to zeam - its minimal and uses negligible memory and cpu.

what memory is left when you first boot up on zeus ？im only getting 200 free memory

I downloaded darky 10.2 (newest) and I like the touchwiz and the stable no freeze... Yes, of course not all things in darky ota, it works the option of changing the lockscreen menu, boot animation. But I prefer download here from xda
