[Q] Droid Charge Roms

I want to know if I will be able to use a Samsung Fascinate rom (MIUI) on my Droid Charge. I dont live in a 4g area, so if the 4g didn't work, i wouldn't miss anything. Does anyone have any good rom recommendations aside from GummyCharged 1.9 (which i just installed)?

no, you cannot use a fascinate rom on the charge, its not as simple as 4g just wont work

That's what I figured... I really hoped that it would since MIUI isn't out for the charge.

I highly recommend Humble ROM. Wait till Friday though for the update with many good fixes. Humble is the best ROM imo currently for the Charge.

miui on lte phones wont be that easy as the miui developers have said since there is no 4g in china currently they wont be building into miui releases...therefore it has to be built in by devs here, which is i would think a monumental task...so it might be 3g only for awhile...but idk

Well I saw on Miui.us forums that a dev just got the droid charge, so hopefully we will see a miui rom here soon

when the omgb guys get aosp working at some point miui can use that as a starting point...my point was just that official miui will have no lte support for the near future

everyone should try out various roms on their own and find out...i dont have a charge but from what i can gather gummycharged is the most polished and many of the other roms use its frameworks and apks...so that should tell you something

Im using Gummcharged GBE 1.5, and I'm happier with it than I was with CM7 on my OG Droid. Its smooth, fast, and everything works.
I was on the debloated gingerbread leak for a week, but I just can't stand TW. I like the look of AOSP better, even if theres still a little TW mixed in.

I dunno man, I am on the GB leak running Eclipse and the TW experience isn't too bad @ all... Infact, I really like it!

[Q] Is anyone in the loop on new Roms?

Im thinking about trading my Droid incredible 2 for a charge, and i'm only looking in the development threads right now. Are there any new ROMs on the horizon? Or any latest news i can be informed of?

Well gummycharged 2.0 is currently in the works and from the previews we've seen it looks pretty good. I don't know much about the other froyo ROMs and I haven't messed with GB yet. But development is still going strong for the charge.

The developer community for the Charge is likely smaller, so the number of available ROMs is lower compared to the Inc2. However, what is available is pretty good for being all based on the stock software. AOSP based ROMs will come in due time, but again, given the small developer community, it may take some time.

Darkslide charged is suppose to be coming soon! it will be GB.

Appreciate guys. I almost assumed it was a smaller Dev. community but that doesnt make it any less good to everyone, Everyone on the DINC2 forums were great, and im hoping to join this. Im no Dev, but i still would like to give something back to help anyone out there as best as i can

OMFGB/OMGB & CM7 are coming to the Charge but it's rumored to be a long ways away. Gummycharged 2.0 is looking great and Team Gummycharged keeps growing. As of now the best ROMs out are Gummy/Humble/Eclipse, my personal favorite being Eclipse.

If u have lte its probably worth the trade...otherwise.

Yeah, 4G Area over here

Once you go 4g you don't go back.

I thought that was black...
anyways
Yeah the gummycharged roms are very solid. 2.0 will be amazing. 1.9rc2.3 is a gingy build and is already rock solid.
AOSP will be great once we get it. I heard it is partially samsung's fault for making their phones so hard to port from one to another or we would have had it a long time ago with the dev community on the fascinate.
As long as kejar doesn't go anywhere, we will be good lol. He is a mastermind.

Woah! Love this phone.

After dropping my first captivate in a river early this year, I finally got a new one a couple weeks ago.
I must say things have changed a lot around here, after reading for a few days I am finally caught back up on everything I missed
Awesome job guys, thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into keeping this phone current and awesome. I can't see myself upgrading for a while

We even have ICS!!!

lol. A lot of people thought I was crazy because I didn't want to wait a month for the atrix to come out.
Then another month for roms to come out.
So far I love my captivate.

ICS alpha 6
has anyone taken a look at the alpha available on pirate bay? i wanna know how to install it and if its legit. I can't post it cause i'm a new poster

There are already a lot of ICS threads on here. I believe the A6 ROM was posted on the "ICS ported to i897" thread in the development section.

I would never go there for roms.
I am running A6 as we speak which I got from these forums.
Camera doesn't work (for video or pictures)
SU doesn't work (haven't toyed with workaround yet)
3g (I am trying work arounds now, doesn't work by default)
Still a really impressive interface to play around with, and I think I can live with the cons for a little while until a more stable rom gets hosted. I will say I am in love with this os though.
The interface alone is so modern and fresh feeling I can't entirely explain it.

kjdoug............THIS is the only site you need to mod your captivate. forget any torrent site when it comes to the OS on your phone.
BTW welcome to the forum! READ lots, you will learn, also there are a lot of top notch guys on here that will help you out.

I know what you mean....reading through the forums I've noticed that some of the veteran cappy users that left while I still had my first, have sold there newer devices and came back to the captivate.

I noticed. I'm watching the dev thread, with excitement.
Waiting for more of the bugs to be worked out before I flash it. I use my phone for work so it has to be almost 100% stable

It just fits nicely in my hand and my pocket, All the new SGS2s all seem to large. IMHO

We have ICS? Which Rom?

and ICS beta1 works mighty fine, i might add!

So does CM team's Build 3....

Yes I would recommend the CM9 version (or working towards it) if you want to try out ICS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760
The 3g works without any manipulations, almost everything works as a matter of fact. Calendar sync did need some .apk switched in to get calendar working in beta2 but at least for me in beta3 I didn't have to redo anything. All my apps from tibu work and download correctly. It just seems to be very smooth.
PS. I also upgraded to the ATT SGS2 and love it but I also have my cappy as backup and love messing with all the roms for it still. Basically testing it all out. Plus I am pleasantly surprised that the cappy got ICS before the SGS2.

yahh I'm on the Beta 1 dev version, I feel it is smoother, there is no need for scripts anymore, everything works without doing extra flashes(besides kernel and superuser). I get much better battery life out of this one too! The one from DemonWav's thread.

Dad-Worthy ROM

Hi all--
I just bought this phone for my Dad as an upgrade from the inspire 4g.
He's been running CM7 on that phone (and on his n1 before that). However, i see that CM7 is crap right now on the Skyrocket (I'm on the t989 on tmobile...but don't use it there because of the lack of wifi calling...a must with tmo's terrible network).
Anyhow, does anyone have a ROM recommendation for me/him?
I'll replace the stock launcher with Go Launcher anyways, so I'm really looking for something that is stable, has great battery life, and that he won't need to update regularly (which he won't---I'll just update it when I am in town every month or two).
Thoughts?
Thanks!

TPC by twopumpchump has been running incredibly well for me. Battery life has been amazing, especially when installing his OC'd script through CWM. It is not themed like the others, but performance and reliably is on par.

Try pirate ghosts rom in the dev section. Super stable for me. But all of our rom seem to be perfect. Ive tried em all and have not had a prob. And i wouldn't say cm7 is crap either. Our heros put time into that rom/kernal. It may not be for everyone, but its still a reliable rom for our phone.

CocaColaClassic is very nice as well is Sky Ice Cream Sandwich Multiple Flavors. The developer seanzscreams has worked fast and furiously to make these ROMs mature.
The speed and battery life on CocaCola is amazing but if you have an issue with a black and red theme then check out ICS.
That's my 2 cents.

+1 for Space Pirate. Running it now and couldn't be happier. You won't have to worry about any updates because PirateGhost has since left the Skyrocket. But don't worry, it doesn't need any. Based mostly on stock, just tweaked and optimized. So no crazy kinks or bugs that would need to be worked out through updates. Battery life has been amazing - averaging ~3% per hour with moderate use throughout the work day. And undoubtedly snappier than stock.

I've been using using the alien ROM and love it. very simple and easy. Takes out most bloatware but isn't super flashy and retains to stockish feel.

No ICS for Droid Charge

Looks like Verizon screws us again.
http://news.verizonwireless.com/news/2012/03/bl2012-03-06.html
Especially frustrating considering the Thunderbolt and the Incredible 2 came out BEFORE the Charge.
Feel free to email the guy who posted that bit of FU from Verizon and let him know how this sits with you.

Wow not even the Droid 3 is getting ICS, and that launched with gingerbread.
Same with LG revolution
Also,
We will continue to update this list as additional details become available throughout the year. Also, follow @VZWNews on Twitter for additional upgrade announcements.

Just because those are the devices currently slated to receive the update doesn't mean they will be the only devices. Don't get your panties in a twist just yet.

I think it will get ICS, one way or another

I didn't research all these phones to find out but...
Do they all have more ram than 512MB? That might be the limitation for the charge.
Edit: I researched the devices. They all have at least 768MB ram. That's probably why the Droid 3 isn't getting it either.

That does suck, but I've given up hope on any OEM ICS support for this phone. Just going to wait patiently for the next "godly" phone to come out this year.

The issue is more likely to be not enough space on /system for all the crap VZW wants to add in. The Nexus S has 512MB of RAM and it runs ICS just fine.

I agree with all you started above till the last sentence.
Correct me if I'm wrong-
I've seen the update came out for Nexus S, was retracted and now owners are still waiting for the official release. A debloated ROM will probably run just fine on Charge, which you touched on in your previous post. That being said "Officially" I don't believe the charge will see ICS. I'm sure with your help along with JT and others, we will have it.

The ICS ROMS are running smoothly for the most part on the Fascinate (I have been running ICS on my Fascinate for a couple months now, but picked up a Charge for pennies on eBay), can't be too long before we see something similar for the Charge, right?

The RIL, and bluetooth doesnt work right, and Camera, (not complaining, just being realistic that there are more hurdles until its a viable daily driver). I dont know, I have ICS on my tablet and Eclipse Rom on Charge 'feels' just as good in regular activities. Id like ICS but i cant say that itd be a game changer.

All will work in time. Have confidence.

I have to admit, Eclipse and PBJ Kernal on the Charge is mighty nice. ICS on my Fascinate is mighty nice as well. Can't say which I like better. So I guess that means I agree, ICS is not really a game changer for me either. I just like the idea of being on the latest version of the OS so no one can say they have something newer than I do!

I just flashed jt's latest CM9 build and sheesh it looks beautiful. I hope he finishes soon, I am so jealous of my friend running ICS on his original DInc.
In regards to Verizon's upgrade list here; even though it isn't complete, I think it is ridiculous that carriers aren't more worried about getting their phones upgraded. I recognize that the manufacturers do the development, but you'd think that the carriers would try to light a fire under their ass.
Furthermore, I am rather upset that Verizon hasn't said anything about getting an HTC One phone.

Man I would love to be that optimistic. Unfortunately, I would bet cash money that even if they were to eventually upgrade the Charge to ICS, it wouldn't be until 4Q 2012 or later. In fact, I would be downright shocked if any of the phones they listed get ICS before 3Q.
By then, Jelly Bean will be just around the corner and ICS won't be enough anyway

Hope the stratosphere gets ics to =/
