[size=+2]MINI-SENSE[/size]
Mini-Senseless is a stripped down version of the excellent teppic74 ROM. It fits the "Bravo Sense" AlphaRev partition which gives me 213MB free on data after install, which is plenty enough for me. I've been using this ROM for several days now and haven't had any problems at all. The battery life was also very good.
This ROM was made for my personal use only but I decided to share it because someone else could also find it useful.
Enjoy
Highlights:
Exactly the same as teppic74's ROM v3.1, only lots of applications removed
Fits in 180MB system partition
213MB free on data
Most of the removed applications available on market
Good battery life
What has been changed:
Removed Rosie launcher and all Sense widgets
Removed most of the social apps - Facebook, Peep, FriendStream, etc
Removed all Google apps that are available on the Market - Gmail, YouTube, Maps, etc
Removed the RSS reader
Removed the HTC keyboard
Added Zeam as the default launcher, install another launcher if needed
Added the standard Froyo keyboard
... that's it, I think
Download:
Mini-Sense v1.0 (mirror)
Installation:
Flash "Bravo Sense" HBOOT partition. Instructions are found at the AlphaRev site.
Flash the .zip file from recovery. Erase /data and /cache partitions.
(optional) Flash this addon (mirror) to enable trackball to wake the phone
(optional) Install any of these teppic74 addons: (HIGH) POWERSAVING MODPACK, MINOR TWEAKS, RESTORE BOOTSOUND, A2SD+, SD READAHEAD
Warning:
Use at your own risk!
Do a nandroid backup first!
Do NOT install any addons that add files to /system (very little free space there)
Credits:

Read the post before asking a stupid question
one small question: what brings an Sense ROM without the Sense "goodness" (Widgets, Rosie usw.)? There are enough "stock" Andoid ROMs!?
it gives you the other htc functionalities, such as linking contacts to fb accounts n pictures which is quite lacking on AOSP, if you miss the widgets so bad try LauncherPro, or stick to sense...
Is the linking funktion not a part of Friedstream?
Or is the Facebook provider a seperate part?
Has nothing to do with friendstream, its an HTC feature...
Sent from my HTC Desire
Its an HTC feature but it is also built into stock. The difference is that it isn't so aesthetically pleasing on stock.
But I think I agree with the above. I love the idea of a mini sense rom, but the Widgets are some of the best features of sense. Without them I fail to see the point in sense over stock? Plus, surely our memory will just go down again to stock once I install the Google apps I need which is pretty much all of them?
Great idea though

I had something like this on my to do list for a while before I was distracted by other things.
I really appreciate this here, thank you.

Now that is just perfect, I don't particularly like the sense launcher, so I tried using AOSP roms. I liked the oxygen rom since it's blazingly fast, it does have some issues that I can work around, but I cannot LIVE without the "People" app.
Now I realize why it's called one of the 7 wonders of the new smartphone apps
Sounds good. Been looking for something like this since Supervillain stopped being updated. I've been using Sense for the last few weeks so will see if i can switch over again. New memory card arriving this week so will try it out then.
Well, there are certain benefits even if you have widgets stripped off from a Sense ROM. For example:
- Stability! - all latest stock ROMs have different issues (light sensor, 2 sec delay, USB speed, reboots once in a while, etc)
- Dialer / People are more advanced than stock
- Little HTC improvements, like the dialog when USB is connected
- HTC lock screen, which I find more pleasant to use
- Camera app is better
- Album app is better than Gallery
- ... lots of other small things
I realize most bullets from the list above are a matter of personal preference, that is why I have stated in my first post that this ROM is made to suit my needs. If someone else finds it useful - I'd be glad to hear that... just take it as it is
Cheers
so this is a sense rom with some of the best parts of sense ripped out?
Thanx alot!! i appreciate the effort. One slight concern how is the battery life when compared to gingerbread roms as i am getting very good battery life on cm7.

I've been using this ROM for over a week now. Before that I was on Redux and Oxygen for several weeks. I would say the battery life is comparable. This is my opinion of course, your mileage may vary.

Not to me. I don't use Sense launcher, widgets, RSS, Peep or FriendStream. Everything else (Sense related) is included in the ROM (or could be installed later). If you define these as "the best parts of sense" then you'd better take a look at some of the other Sense ROMs available.
I want to go back on what I originally said. I have to say, I think the idea in principal is great - I just feel too many things have been cut out for my liking. I wonder, since you say you deleted all HTC widgets, does this mean you have removed the standard htc flip clock with the weather + weather animations? They are possibly my favourite sense features...? I would certainly give it a go if they were still in it, or would it be easy to add them back in?
Also, I currently use A2SD and never fill it. Would the extra 100mb or so be enough for me to make the jump onto this non a2sd rom?
One more question, can the mods from teppic74 rom thread mentioned in the first post also be applied to this rom? I would like to try some of the addons if yes. Btw the rom feels great so far. Thanx
Is'ent thos ROM possible without S-Off? cant get it to work, the S-Off that is...
This is a [HOW-TO] guide to making your Droid Charge the perfect smartphone(by that I mean music, movies, texting, calls etc). I'd say the main purpose of the thread is to just let people know of some awesome apps and settings to use if you'd like the perfect phone(well, I can't change the atrocious amount of RAM, sorry). Keep in mind this is going to be quite the read but I can guarantee there is some nice info for even the most learned Charge owners. As always, if you found this post at all helpful just hit the thanks button to show your appreciation.
1) First thing's first, you're going to want to flash Clockwork(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804) so you can flash tons of other awesome stuff later. If you ever have a question when doing anything root/ROM related you can either follow this guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122657) OR just ask a question below.
2a) Next you're going to want to use CWM to flash your kernel so you can get rooted. You have 3 choices here; PBJ(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104634), PBJ non-voodoo(same link as PBJ just disable Voodoo through the CWM menu), and PBJ OTB edition(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126136). I personally use the OTB kernel because I like to have the option to overclock/undervolt whenever I feel it's necessary but apparently the non-OC kernel gets better battery life. I would never go with the non-voodoo kernel, the lagfix speeds up your phone and there are apps like Voodoo Control that really optimize it. There is only one real problem with Voodoo and that's that you MUST(I can't stress this enough) disable Voodoo if you are going to flash a different kernel. All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend the Voodoo kernel.
2b) Now you're going to want to flash the sd-card fix(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118111). This is ABSOLUTELY necessary and not optional, if you choose to not flash this your Charge will only read your SD card as a cd drive, to put it simply it breaks your USB mass storage and you can't transfer files anymore.
3a) After all that is done it's time to choose your ROM(if you want one). Some ROMs allow you to flash through ODIN but most are just CWM specific, .md5 files are ODIN and .zip files are CWM. Currently, I'd highly recommend Eclipse(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144015). Humble(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146103) is in a very close second but I'll have to give it to Nitro, he made a great ROM. It has an awesome TouchWiz4 look and has a bunch of flashable files to modify the ROM to your liking. Humble on the other hand has everything built in, that's the one thing that made me switch to Eclipse. For example Eclipse has an optional Honeycomb theme you can flash but Humble has it built in so you are forced to sit with Honeycomb like it or not. You can also choose certain debloated ROMs but I never really saw the point, if you want to stay on TouchWiz and debloat just download TitaniumBackup and either freeze(recommended) or just uninstall that crapware.
3b) Now this is not necessary but I would highly recommend you flash an AOSP lockscreen over the puzzle one, it's more accurate(you won't ever miss your swipe like you can with the puzzle) and you can see your battery percentage on the lockscreen when charging, great when you're calibrating your battery or just want to know what your battery is at. Eclipse has a flashable .zip and Humble comes with the AOSP lockscreen preinstalled. I would also highly recommend the HTC Sense lockscreen(keep reading, it's posted below under the subtitle "Lockscreen" in step 4).
3c) If you didn't choose Eclipse or Humble(or you're on an older version) I would highly recommend the modified camera.zip(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144885) that causes your power button to act as a shutter when using the stock Camera app. It really makes you forget about the fact that you don't have a dedicated camera button because, well, now you do have one!
4) Now it's time for the fun part, no more flashing we're going to start with the worlds best apps to truly make this phone awesome! Keep in mind this is not necessarily in order of importance they're just the first apps that popped into my head.
Keyboard: SwiftKey X($4), Modded HTC Sense Keyboard Port(free, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416) - SwiftKey X is a great keyboard with very accurate predictions, it can be annoying at times but I've found this keyboard to be incredible. The modded HTC Sense KB Port is very nice, it's pretty much an exact clone and is very easy to install, not to mention free. Give the legendary keyboard a shot! Added picture(s) of SwiftKey X.
Messaging: Handcent SMS(free), GO SMS Pro(free, thanks caesus!) - Handcent SMS is a customizable messaging app to replace the crappy stock messaging. I would say it's best feature over the stock app is the themes, they look awesome! GO SMS Pro is much better than Handcent if you ask me. GO has very cool transitions between pages(check pictures), the themes are much better(and there's a LOT more of them, which brings me to my next point), much better dev support and it just has a cleaner look then Handcent. Aside from all that the features are pretty much exactly the same. Added picture(s) of Handcent SMS and GO SMS Pro.
Handcent:
GO SMS:
Phone: Stock Phone(free, preinstalled) + Caller ID Plus($4), RocketDial($4) - I used RocketDial mainly for the callerID but I found the app itself to be quite buggy at times, for example about 2 weeks ago I received a call and when I went to answer it the phone froze up for about a minute and caused me to miss the call. This might have been due to the fact that I froze the Phone app in Titanium but I don't know. Now I just use the stock Phone app with Caller ID Plus and it's working great. Added picture(s) of Stock Phone with the Caller ID Plus app(blacked out the name, address, zip code and phone number in that order.)
Browser: Dolphin HD(free) - Pretty neat browser, I like the tabs and the gesture feature and currently have no problems with it. You might also want to check out Opera, although I haven't personally used it. Added picture(s) for Dolphin HD.
Music: PowerAMP($5, there's also the option to try it out with a 15 day free trial), Mixzing Basic(free), Stock Music Player(free, preinstalled) - Now keep in mind I'm REALLY into my music, I need a very high quality music player with tons of options and a nice UI. That's what PowerAMP is, if you aren't a huge music person or you don't listen to music primarily on your phone I would recommend a free app, either the stock Music Player or Mixzing Basic. Added picture(s) of PowerAMP.
Weather: Eclipse's built in GS2 widgets(free), MIUI Digital Clock(free) OR Beautiful Widgets($3) - As far as weather goes they all function the same, the weather is always accurate so I'll just put it plain and simple; the Eclipse widgets look incredible, they are animated very well but that's about it. MIUI Digital Clock is fantastic, VERY customizable and a great bang for your buck(yes, I know it's free). Then we have Beautiful Widgets, it's very handy to have all the widgets it comes with but honestly, who the hell needs a clock? All that info is displayed on your lockscreen/notification bar. Half the widgets are pointless, it's a waste of money unless you really like the look of its weather widget. Hands down the winner of this fight is MIUI Digital Clock for its incredible amount of customization. Added picture(s).
Eclipse Widget 1:
Eclipse Widget 2:
MIUI Digital Clock:
Beautiful Widgets:
News: Stock News & Weather widget(free), US Newspapers(free, thanks piizzadude!) - The stock News & Weather widget is quite simple, just a constant feed of news with the occasional picture. US Newspapers lists a bunch of different newspapers & sports sites, it also allows you to add your favorite sites to the app. Added picture(s) of Stock News & Weather and US Newspapers.
Stock News & Weather:
US Newspapers:
Video Player: Stock Video Player(free),MoboPlayer(free, thanks kvswim!) - Stock works fine, it's simple and just shows a list of your videos. MoboPlayer on the other hand has a lot more compatibility, it has a few problems like not detecting all my videos but it's a great video player.
Emulators: Ataroid,Gameboid,GBCoid,Gearoid,Gensoid,N64oid,Nesoid,SNesoid,FPse(not available on the market, must be obtained from Slideme or other such websites. Free for a limited time.) - Not sure about you but I NEED to have emulators with me at all times, whenever I'm bored I whip out the GB emulator and play some Pokemon Red or get the GBA emulator and play some Mystery Dungeon, great for nostalgia or just straight up fun. Added picture(s) of the GBA emulator(Gameboid). Sorry that they're sideways, don't hurt your neck!
Games: Fieldrunners HD($3), Age of Zombies($3),Cut the Rope($1),Plants vs Zombies($4),Impossible Game($1),Doodle Jump($1) - I have about 40 or so actual games on my phone. Instead of listing them all and looking up all their prices I'm taking the lazy route and just giving you my absolute favorite and most addicting games. Unfortunately they all cost money but hey you get what you pay for.
Lockscreen: Agile Lock(has a free & paid version; paid is $1) - I would HIGHLY recommend this lockscreen for anyone who doesn't like the AOSP/Puzzle/Glass or just wants to use the HTC sense lockscreen(you know, the ring that has shortcuts and such). If you do choose this route you would need to follow the Androidcentral guide(http://forums.androidcentral.com/droid-charge-rooting-roms-hacks/88577-remove-lock-screen-charge.html) to remove your current lockscreen because all this app does is add a second lock to your phone, so you would need to unlock your phone twice if you want to get in. Before you do that BE WARNED this removes not only your lockscreen but your power button menu as well(you know, when you hold the power button to restart and boot into recovery). Instead it just powers your phone off, you can always re-enable your lockscreen very easily using the same guide so there's nothing to fear. This app has TONS of customization and is far superior to the zero customization the AOSP/stock locks have. I'd say the only issue this app has is the fact that you can't go to silent/sound like you can with the AOSP. Added picture(s).
Screenshot/Screen Capture: ShootMe(free, thanks blarrick & anoninja118!) - I prefer this over the stock screen capture service(Hold back key, then press home) it's slow at times, doesn't always take the picture and holding the back key causes me to actually go back in many apps(Dolpin HD and Handcent for example). I still do use the stock service but if back is causing problems I use ShootMe. Added picture(s).
Image Viewer/Gallery: QuickPic(free, thanks Jmjohnson1717!) - MUCH better image viewer over the stock app, the stock app is just too cluttered and not organized well. I like the options this one has and I can't thank you enough Jmjohnson1717, seriously... that stock app is horrible. Added picture(s).
Tethering: Barnacle Wifi Tether(free), A WiFi Tether AP Mesh Client(AKA OpenGarden, free), Wireless Tether for Root Users(free,not available on the Android Market. Download from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ ), PdaNet(free), EasyTether($10) - Barnacle, OpenGarden and WT4RUsers are all very simple wireless tethering apps. They are free and just require you to click one button and it will show up as a wireless network named AndroidTether or something similar. PdaNet and EasyTether are both wired tethering apps(in-case you don't have the option to connect to a wireless network). If you are going to choose a wired tethering app go with PdaNet because it's free. Added picture(s) of OpenGarden(all the wireless tethering apps look the same).
Scripts/Mods/.zips: V6 SuperCharger(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276), Loopy Smoothness Tweak(apply SuperCharger before this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205744), modded camera.apk(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144885), if you're on Eclipse you should flash all the included .zip files you feel are necessary(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144015) - V6 SuperCharger basically gets rid of your hanging home screen(When your home screen shows up blank after clearing RAM or closing an app that consumes high RAM). Loopy Smoothness Tweak basically just eliminates lag and choppiness on plenty of applications. Modded camera.apk just causes your power button to act as a shutter when you have the stock Camera app open, doesn't work for other apps like Fast Burst, just stock unfortunately. Eclipse flashable .zips are basically just apps/mods that Nitro thought some people would want and some people wouldn't, so he gave you the option to either flash or not flash. I chose to flash everything except VVM, stock gps config and puzzle unlock.
Other: Voodoo Control(free & paid version, thanks kvswim!), CPU Spy(free, thanks anoninja118!), FasterFix(free) - Voodoo Control allows you to control Voodoo lagfix/Voodoo Sound to customize your sound settings(among other things). "This(CPU Spy) is a simple app to display the time the CPU spends in each frequency state. This can be a useful tool in diagnosing battery problems or tweaking your over-clock settings." Quoted from the CPU Spy app on the Android Market because I'm too damn lazy to type anything else out :] Fasterfix is a VERY simple but incredibly useful app, it basically makes your GPS lock on much faster, when I'm inside my house GPS locks on in about 2 seconds, just open the app and choose the server closest to you. Added picture(s) of Voodoo Control Plus(paid version) and FasterFix.
Voodoo Control Plus:
FasterFix:
That's pretty much everything I needed to do before this phone was perfect, might not have been the most useful guide but I just wanted to share everything I needed to do with my Charge. Now I'm not saying to do this exactly since everyone has different tastes but just use this as a reference. There are some cool apps you may not have known about and there is some info you may not have known about. Don't click that thanks button unless you actually feel this thread deserves it, peace :]
You forgot Voodoo Control. I line out to my car. I listen to techno, and I like my bass cranked and the volume amped. This is absolutely necessary for anyone who likes their music to go loud and hard. Especially high school teenagers like me Also you can control voodoo lagfix from the app.
Also, I recommend MoboPlayer as a video player, it has a lot more file support than the stock player.
Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
I'll have to check that out, I use Freemake Video Converter(possibly the BEST converter of all time) and just convert it to Android format so stock works fine for me, and btw PowerAMP(the music player) allows you to modify your bass and, well, pretty much everything. I like a lot of bass too and PowerAMP does just that
Voodoo Control modifies the audio hardware directly.
Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
Yea I have Voodoo Control Plus :] I'll be sure to add it to the list, I just prefer poweramp, it gives you a nice UI like you're in a recording studio. It also allows you to save your presets and assign them to certain songs and all this crap. I love both apps
edit: Do you know why Mobo isn't recognizing all my videos? I direct it to the folder and after it hits a certain video it will just stock scanning and only show a few videos. Not sure what the problem is but that's the only thing annoying me about this app, everything else seems great.
If you do a lot of "newspaper" reading I would suggest that you give US Newspapers a try. it is a free app and it lists something like 30 newspapers and sports sites. You can also add your favorite sites as well.
Is their an app to turn my charge into a sgs2? Now that would be a perfect phone!
How bout how to do this on a mac? I know you can use heimdall but as far as step by step I'm lost.

Wondering about 2b.. the SD card fix. I've yet to have to flash this to have my mass storage work properly. I'm running the latest PBJ Voodoo kernel, and am on the debloated rom with a few minor tweaks of my own. I just double checked and I can read from and write to my SD card when connected to my PC just fine. Is it only necessary when running certain roms?
Edit: I suppose it is possible that I flashed the fix way back when I rooted my DC, but I really don't remember doing that. I do have the fix on my SD card though, so I guess it is a possibility that I did flash it and don't remember doing it.

See the thing is it doesn't always happen, if you didn't flash it I would still recommend it. If it breaks later you will have to go out and buy a usb reader for your sd card to fix it
Beamed from my Droid Charge using the XDA premium app
This is a great idea for the newer Android users. The only thing I would add is that a custom launcher is very important (ADW/Go Launcher Ex/LauncherPro Plus)>
Also, I think GoSMS has surpassed Handcent in the SMS category.
Mass storage break
This is crazy! I never even heard about this SD card break before you mentioned it. Are the dev's working on implementing this into their roms?

Haven't heard any talk about it. Not really sure what causes it but the guide I followed to rooting this phone told me to flash the SD card fix. I see plenty of threads on this forum about how their phone is only reading as a disk drive and it's always because they didn't flash it.
edit: Just a side note, if anyone could suggest a better picture viewer/gallery over the stock one I would add it to the main post & give you credit, currently I can't stand the crappy stock Gallery :] Thanks.
I've begun adding pictures to the thread. I'm still in the process of getting pictures for all the apps, just sit back
Also, if you have any apps you think should be added to the main thread just drop a reply with the name and the reason why, I'll be sure to give you credit :]
QuickPick is a great app for the gallery.

Added CPU Spy because it seems like a pretty useful app, didn't add Terminal because I honestly can't see a real use for it. I think you can type su in it to check if you have root but aside from that I don't see the point
I won't add LTE Switch because there were a lot of complaints that the app can break your LTE and force a factory reset to fix it, I never bothered downloading it after seeing all the complaints. Sorry!

r2doesInc's original: I would like to thank my team for putting up with me disappearing for two weeks to make this work for you guys. There are so many people I want to thank for making this possible. First biggest thanks to slayher, he did this first and has helped out with ALOT of bugs that he had to deal with when there was no one else here to help him fix them. He also helped me update this to mr2.5 General thanks go to birdman, b16, cvpcs, the whole cm team, peteralfonso, drod2169, ksknightmare, the irc guys, sgarriques, imoseyon, the users in this thread including avlfive and jaxidian and mikereDD which i've seen answer hundreds of questions. If I don't have you listed and you helped in some way, biggest thanks to you. Im old sorry.

No0b guide!
Upon the recommendation of one of the thread followers, I decided to put together this thread to help noobs getting started. Hope it helps, but if you need more assistance, PM me and I can help in greater detail.
Kernels
It comes with the up-to-date CM kernel, however there are other ones that you can try! You can always use the Kernel Manager app in the market, but I'll also provide links to the threads and basic explanations of the most popular ones below.
Godm0de: toastcfh is a legendary kernel master on XDA, and he constructed this excellent kernel a ways back. It is the best non-SBC kernel, in my humble opinion. It includes overclocking and underclocking capabilities, undervolting, uses CFS, and is based off of Linux kernel 2.6.38-8.
Tiamat: an excellent kernel, available in both SBC and non-SBC. It also includes overclocking and underclocking capabilities, undervolting, uses CFS, and the most recent version is based off of Linux kernel 2.6.38-8. I personally have used the most recent SBC version (4.1.0), and really like the new lagfree governor. Personally, however, I use the famous 3.3.7 kernel, which gives unparalleled battery life.
Savaged Zen: although it is no longer in development, this kernel is absolutely wonderful, and I was a staunch supporter for a long time. The final version is 2.2.1, and includes overclocking and underclocking capabilities, undervolting, comes in both CFS and BFS versions, comes in both SBC and non-SBC versions, and is based off of Linux kernel 2.6.38-7.
I won't go into detail about all of those individual features (that is what Google is for), however I will single out SBC because of previous debate on the topic. SBC is essentially a “trickle charge” of the battery, or charging more than 100% to fully maximize the charging amount. Non-SBC kernels charge to 100%, then discharge to 90%, and recharge to 100%, and continue this cycle while still showing 100% in the top bar. This is why when you pull the phone off of the charger it instantly drops down to 90%. There have been reports of exploding batteries when SBC was first introduced, however these were quickly dismissed by many as cheap Chinese batteries (or other rumor-based exaggerations), and there have been no reported cases since this time. Point is that SBC is considered use at-your-own-risk, although I've used SBC kernels nonstop for nearly a year and have not had problems. Just an advisory notice.
SetCPU
To control how your kernel works with your CPU, you can use the SetCPU app that is available for $1.99 in the market, or for free from that thread (support the developer if you can, its worth it). This app will let you set what minimum and maximum frequencies you want (to overclock, underclock, etc), and how the CPU scales within that range. You can also use different governors, which affect the timing of that scaling from one frequency to the next based on different heuristic algorithms.
Vipermod
Vipermod is a mod that allows you to undervolt to a greater extent than what most kernels will come with. You see, kernel developers make their kernel with the target of stability, so they provide appropriate power at various frequencies to allow most users to enjoy it without further modification. That said, many phones are capable of using less power to effectively run at these frequencies, which will increase battery life. The tutorial to install and use the mod can be found on the thread, but just keep in mind that if a phone cannot handle a certain frequency, you'll get random reboots when the frequency scaling is tested. Hence, the general philosophy is to start by undervolting by -100mV, and if you get a random reboot, to increase by increments of 25mV until you no longer get those reboots. Personally, mine stopped rebooting at -50mV, and I've seen significant battery savings at this level.
Keep in mind that only certain kernels have the structure to allow this mod to work. When you try to run it, your phone will tell you if it can't run on that kernel (don't worry, it doesn't break anything, it just sucks).
Sysctl Config
The Sysctl Config app is available for free in the market, and allows you modify how your kernel frees up system resources (i.e., closes background apps, manages open apps, etc.). I won't go into what the settings mean (Google can do that for you), but the basic premise is this:
Ratio Values mean that the higher the number, the greater the percentage of app cache is stored in memory before being cleared by the system.
Cache Pressure means the pressure the system exerts on apps to close when pushed to the background.
Most kernels default with the settings of Dirty Ratio=20, Dirty Background Ratio=5, VFS Cache Pressure=100. If you change them to Dirty Ratio=95, Dirty Background Ratio=70, VFS Cache Pressure=1, it means that apps will keep cache handy longer (system resources used less frequently and smoother app use overall). Of course, you can experiment with those values, but this is dabbling with advanced kernel stuff so don't get too crazy.
V6 SuperCharger
I haven't gotten the opportunity to use the SuperCharger mod too much, but it looks to be beneficial in aiding how the internal memory structure works with OOM Groupings and lowmemkiller values. Some users report drastic increases in multitasking and battery life. It requires the Script Manager app, BusyBox 1.18.2 or lower, and the Autostart Script the mod's creator developed. The installation details are available on the thread.
I'll add more later, but this should get you started!
Sweet it might be easier to follow now I hope LOL.

I have a suggestion for all the noobs on the forum these days maybe post the kernels that work with aosp with some links in the op so you don't get that question over and over again.
Just a thought.
Edit: another thought that would be cool if you posted links and howtos on V6 and vipermod in op .
That might draw some noobies in to this ROM and save on some questions being asked.

BTW this ROM is amazing but I'm still having massive battery drain! Could it be an app? Im using Vipermod @ -75mA, V6 Supercharger, Tiamat 4.0.7 SBC and this newest nightly. It's like the most amazingly beautiful combo ever, yet it's owning me =(. Also did Fix Permissions in ROM Manager twice.
I'll try it...
---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 AM ----------
Is this based on latest CM7 nightly #180 ?
so I can use metamorph themes?
Great AOSP ROM. Silky smooth even clocked down to 768 mhz and undervolted -100 mV.
Question: anybody else using GoLauncher? I'm having issues with GoWidgets (calender and message) loading after a reboot. No problems with any other widgets. I can uninstall and reinstall and they show up fine. I'm testing the 1.3.1 nightly. Tonight I'm going to try a stable release and see if I get the same thing.
Looking forward to getting more time with this puppy.
Very nice OP. Good Luck. By the way, Thanks for the links on your sig.

Have you checked spare parts? It sounds like there may be an app that is causing a wakelock, check to see if there is any partial wakelocks, sensor wakelocks, etc. There is also a number of battery monitor apps available in the market that will tell you what app is using all that power, so you can sniper it a bit more effectively. The only other thing I can think to recommend is a battery calibration, if you haven't done one in a while. It absolutely NEEDS to be done when coming from a Sense rom, but every once in a while I need to do it even though I'm an AOSP all-the-way guy. It just happens when you try new kernels. PM me with some photos showing the drain (after trying those methods, of course ) and I'll see if I can help you out.

It is not based on any CM7 nightly ... they customized AOSP from scratch. I can't tell you if metamorph themes will work, but if they are built for CM7, I would venture not. Just the T-Mobile Themer app.

I am an avid GO app user, and swear by Launcher EX. The widgets not showing up after a reboot does happen with me as well, but ONLY on a reboot after I clear dalvik cache and cache. The secret I've found to geting them back is that when they show up as that white box, remove them from the screen and reboot. Once rebooted, put them back on the screen and they show up fine. They will stay on reboots too, at least until you clear those caches again.
Btw, don't ask why it does this, I have no idea haha.

I've checked spare parts and the highest partial wakelock is Android Systen with 1m 57s and the highest sensor usage is Android System again with 46m 51s of total time. Nothing came close to those. Could you name to me one good app that monitors apps that drain battery? xD I'm using Battery Monitor Widget and System Panel Full. I've also calibrated the battery, no dice. I noticed on my Battery Monitor Widget that something is using 2mA while I'm charging with SBC. I know it's supposed to be using 0 mA -_-

It's theoretically SUPPOSED to do that, however it stays between 0 and 4mA (not a constantly 0 charge). The longer that you've had your battery, the more it does this.
One of the things that is rarely talked about with SBC is that it shortens the overall life of the battery. By gaining that 10% extra per charge on the frontend, it shortens the lifecycle of the battery significantly. Considering we replace our phone every year it rarely is a deal breaker, but the battery's ability to retain that superfull charge we all love about SBC lessens over time. Personally I believe it is totally worth it, but for people that hold onto their phone for more than a year, they sometimes need to get a new battery.
Out of curiosity, what kind of "massive battery drain" are you incurring? What kind of overall battery life / screen on time do you get, in hours?
Hey guys!
I have a rooted Samsung Infuse (AT&T) and I managed to flash it to Infused v2.2.3.
In my settings it tells me my kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I997RUXKG3-CL366622.
I have a couple of questions. <-- N00b
First, if I install/flash a new kernel will all my information get deleted like a wipe?
Second, is the kernel I have the stock kernel or no?
Third, which kernel could I flash/use to improve battery life and/or work well with Infused?
I kind of shot myself in the foot when I flashed to Infused because I only made a Titanium Backup of my info and didn't know I would lose all my texts/notepad notes/ recent contacts/ etc.
If I flash back to stock and restore the Titanium Backup will all of those things be back?
Thank you for the responses in advance.

Kernels won't wipe data.
Infused has a mildly customized kernel - I think it's using LinuxBozo's Hellraiser kernel in newer versions. It's not stock.
Any Gingerbread kernel can be used with Infuse - my Daily Driver, bedwa's Infusion, etc. If you undervolt with mine you might see some SMALL improvements in battery life - the settings I use drop the CPU core power usage by 5-10% at most though, and don't drop anything else.
As to the backups:
Calls and text can be backed up by SMS Backup and Restore and Call Logs Backup and Restore by Ritesh Sahu (on the Market)
If you go back to stock, you MIGHT be able to restore the lost info and then back it up in a more portable way. Normally you only want to restore missing apps and data in TiBu, but if you go back to the EXACT ROM (in your case stock) that you backed up from, you might be able to restore system data without breaking stuff.
Entropy, thanks so much man!
That pretty much answers all of my questions perfectly.
The whole process seemed like it would go over my head at first with all the abbreviations and stuff, so this is a breath of fresh air to know that it's not as complicated as it seems and there's helpful people like you around.
Couple of more questions, while I've got your ears, if you don't mind.
I read a little bit about 99 Tweaks and more or less get the installation process.
Do YOU approve or see it as useful/working?
Also, where could I find more info on Cyanogen 7 Mod that you have on YOUR Infuse?
I'd like to see what that looks like and find out how to install it to see if I like that or Infused better.
One of the big reasons is that I'm not sure if it's my battery that's just bad, but if I used my phone moderately during the day (when it was on stock software) the battery would be down to like 30 percent or lower by like 1 or 2 P.M.
But also I'm not too fond of the fact that I can't add an email option to the dock in the Infused rom...it only gives me Phone, App, and Internet icons on the dock.

Go to the Applications, press menu, view type (or something) customizable grid. Stay in applications, press menu, press edit, move icons to/from dock. I keep it in Alphabetical when I'm not moving things from the dock though.
From XDA App on Infused v2.2.3 OCed to 1.6 GHz
Hmmm..thanks JWL but for some reason I don't have that edit option when I go into the Applications screen...
Checked all over and can't find anywhere to customize the dock..
Including a picture to show the bottom..excuse the off colors I think the screenshot app messed it up.
It depends on which Launcher you use on whether or not you can edit the Dock. From the look of it, the dock that you are using is not editable.
But you have a total of five screens that yu can put your shortcuts/widgts on. Tapping one of those small dots next to the dock brings you to another window. From there go to your apps and press and hold an icon to move it to that window.
Try Launcher Pro from the Market. It will allow you to edit the dock as well as giving you a scrollable dock that adds extra pages.
Or go in to System/manage apps. Click all at the top. Look for Launcher, they'll be at least two. Touch to open, in Launch by default "Clear Defaults" is highlighted, touch it to clear the default.
Now back out and once you're at your home screen, touch the Home Button. This should bring up at least three different launchers to choose from.
Hey, thanks Glenn!
I'm aware that I can use the other screens to put shortcuts, I was just used to the stock Froyo software that allowed me 4 dock spaces.
And what's this launcher you speak of?
I haven't seen much mention of this and not quite sure what it is/does?
I think that when I first installed Infusion it kept giving me the option between Launcher and TWLauncher until I made Launcher default...
[Edit] - Nevermind Glenn, I got it just the way you told me.
Looks like regular Launcher gives me that 3 dock Home page while the TW Launcher gives me back the 4 dock customizable one...Thank you very much for this info.
Sorry for double post, but Glenn you're a life saver!
Launcher Pro was exactly what I needed... scrollable and customizable dock is amazing and exactly what I needed.
My one last question is if I should remain with the Infused kernel or should I flash to Entropy's?
If I just flash to Entropy's and leave as is will I notice any improvement in anything?
Download sgs kernel flasher from the market..... This will easily allow you to flash different kernels back and forth.
First make a backup of your current kernel.
Download whatever kernel you want to try then go back to sgs kernel flasher and choose the kernel you downloaded.
Try a couple of different ones out and see which one works best for you.
I use bedwa's GB kernel.... Though I'm overclocked to 1.6ghz and still get great life, you can keep it at 1.2 and get even better.
I have also heard good things about Entropy's daily driver, so give that one a whirl too...
Sent from my Samsung Infuse 4G - 1.6ghz
What SSJ_Gomike said. I was using CWM-infused-v2.0.1-kernel, but just switched to Entropy's daily driver just to see which my phone likes the best. I also like to have a boot animation which the CWM didn't seem to have.
Planning on trying bedwa's GB kernel next.
You can keep these in your download folder and as SSJ_Gomike said, use sgs kernel flasher to easily switch between them.
Alright, first of all, I'd like to thank you guys for the tremendous amount of support.
I successfully installed Entropy's daily driver kernel and I must say that my phone is running ultra fast
and I really appreciate the fact that the battery charges a lot faster.
The only thing that gets me is that I didn't charge my phone overnight and it went from 100 percent to 77 by the time I woke up.
Any thoughts?

MIUI is awesome ROM and Oodie made it even better. It has FB sync of course and you can customize status bar toggles however you want. It's still in development so i can't tell it would be 100% stable for you, but i haven't any problems with stability. It's fast enough and battery life is also good.

I use this ROM, it's a mixture of AOKP and CM9. Really fast especially when coupled with the latest Air Kernel 4.3 with Linux kernel asynchronous I/O (AIO). It's faster than anything I've used out there. It's also properly signed so that apps and Google Play would treat the ROM as if it's an official Android build than a custom ROM. Whatsapp usually would warn that you're running a mod if it detects debug keys like in CM9 or AOKP builds.
