I found a system dump of stock charge and found the fonts and know I need to use Root Explorer to put in the correct folder. I just want the 3 fonts you can change to in the display settings. When I look at the stock fonts folder it list a alot of them. Am I not looking in the right folder for the fonts?
If you're checking /system/fonts you're in the right place. =) The reason there are more than three is because the phone uses variations of the same font for headings and such (bold, italicized, etc.)
Thanks I loaded a different Rom which turns out to be laggy and battery sucks. So if I go back I atleast know I had the right fonts folder to transfer them.
You're welcome. What rom were you running?

[EP3HA][Stock][ODIN] EP3HA Full & Debloated Deodexed (10/9/11)
Been through several the last couple of days and really liked EP1F. Might have to go back to it.
If you're up for something new. Id give GC fe 2.0 a try with the ep1w radios. Its been great for me. But it is all personal preference. just a suggestion.
And you could try re-callibrating your battery too. It would help with the battery life regardless of rom.

Ok whats GC fe 2.0? (gummy charged)
I just went into clockwork and deleted stats. Gonna let it discharge and then charge. That's how you do it right? I still forget how to do stuff. I came from BB, had the Thunderbolt which was z4root or oneclick lol. All the same I guess just different steps. I stuck with Odin for the start.
Yes it is. =) It's kind of a long read, but you should really take a look at this thread over on rootzwiki:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?4643-HOW-TO-quot-Clean-quot-install-GummyCharged-FE-2.0&
It does a good job of explaining almost everything you need to know about flashing roms and how to do it; and is specifically tailored to fe 2.0. You should be able to skip to step three on the thread, but feel free to read the entire thing if you like. It also shows you how to re-calibrate your battery and mentions other tweaks you could make as well. =) If that's too boring, feel free to ask some questions and i'll try to answer them the best I can.
Cool Ill give it a read. I read before and it explained it all but still get screwed up with kernel and radio. Forget we have 2 radio's. I used to use Clockwork all the time dont know why I did want to use it now. Will check that out and what do you think about Humble 4.22? Dang I ask alot of questions. It says to do 4.2 then 4.22 but says 4.2 to do it Odin. Thought you couldnt do .zip files? I downloaded it so do I just rename it? Also to use Odin I never had luck keeping battery in to get to download mode, always just used cable.
Well we have a lot of radios, but the newest is the E3PH. Humble 4.22 looks like a great ROM, I personally haven't tried it because I like where I'm at. But give it a try, a lot of people seem to like it. To get on it you need to:
1. place the humble 4.22 on your sdcard.
2. unzip the humble 4.2 odin you downloaded and flash that.
Side note: I always remove my battery to get the phone into download mode, then i make sure to put it back in before i begin to flash. I also remove my sim card just to be safe.
3. Boot your phone up once to make sure everything's alright. Turn it back off and charge to 100%.
4. Go into CWM; wipe cache, dalvik, and data (just to be safe) and also wipe your battery stats (if you charged your phone completely).
5. install the humble 4.22 zip you placed on your sdcard and you should be ready to go.
6. Enjoy restoring all your apps. haha.
Thanks for your help. If I dont like what Im on now think I will try Humble and then GC. Did the quick read part and will go back but it explains alot.

That's GREAT to hear!!
Been waiting for this...
My phone is stuck at the droid 2 bloot splash. Does anyone know how to fix? I'm freaking out here D:
Try to bootstrap it into open recovery and restore the backup you've made (did you?)
If no backup - use the SBF and flash it to original. Make sure battery is full and you use the latest RSDlite an drivers supplied with the SBF.
Edit: I assume you've made changes in /system or flashed custom ROM. If you have not touched anything, try a battery pull (for at least 5 seconds). If you have installed bootstrap recovery - try to delete caches and eventually factory reset. If nothing of above works - do the SBF flashing (last resort).
Another edit: I don't think you chose the right thread to post your problem. Check General section - you will find many threads similar to yours. OP, sorry for the hijack!
Sorry! I was able to fix it, thank you for your quick reply. I'm going to delete my post to clean up the thread. Sorry again : )

I am not new to android but definately new to the Motorolla´s android phones.
Why are people excited about the release of the SBF? What is is useful for?
I am guessing it is needed for rooting? or is it actually so one can cook custom roms?
The SBF is essentially the file that Motorola clones onto every phone when it leaves the factory. With this file and RSDLite 4.9, you can save your phone from just about any software woe you can think of, in under 15 minutes. I've done it 8 or 9 times with no problems.
No Power
I just finished flashing D2G SBF, and I have no power, I have done a battery pull, and no luck. when I plug the charger or usb in the white light turns on. Hopefully someone can enlighten me on this issue.
when you flashed .sbf what percent was your battery at? If your battery dies before the .sbf is fully flashed....not good. if firmware didn't fully load your phone will not charge. Always make sure battery is above 80 before going forward. If it was just a bad flash and your battery has power try getting into bootloader (both volume keys and power buttons simultaneously) again and re flash sbf. If no power find a friend and charge your battery in their phone and try again.
Was thinking it would be easy for new people coming to the Droid Charge to be able to download 1 package and get everything you could possibly need (besides kernels) to flash your phone.

I think the intention behind this is great, but I do worry that including PST, Heimdall, and two different builds of Odin is going to lead to more confusion, not less, for new people. You'd be better off just including one build of Odin and Heimdall, I think.
I'm not sure why people even use PST, as it's just needlessly complicated.

Some people use PST and seem to get it to work better then Odin. I myself have never used it. The 2 version of Odin are for future and retro builds that some of the devs use. And Heimdall was a preference thing. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll talk to the rest of the devs today and revize the package. v2 coming out tonight.
CHARGE KIT v2 now ready for download.
Update:
latest ODIN
Stock Froyo, Stock Gingerbread.

Like was stated before, the intention is good. You may want to think about having a separate kit for both froyo and gingerbread. I can see someone now flashing gingerbread and the voodoo kernel.

just rooted my phone using this package. it went well used odin newest version with cmw voodoo kn the newest cmw folder and it did good but read that there was no kernel so i wanted to put on the peanut butta one and i followed the directikns but couldnt put it jb recovery mode so i downloaded the clockwork mod off the app store and used the option on that to put in recovery mode but all it did was restart the phone and now it gets stuck on the samsung logo . can anyone please help sorry for being such a noob thought i had it figured out. thanks yall. my email is [email protected] thats the best way to get a hold of me thanks again. awesome site. loving the support
I'm gessing you are trying to get back into "recovery" so hold down vol up + home key + power You will see samsung . Continue holding. It will come go away then come back. When you see samsung the second time. let go of all three buttons. It will finish by booting into recovery. From there use the kernel .zip file that you saved to your sdcard and flash. All set, you now have the kernel of your choosing.
Great idea. You should include the charge PIT file as well.
Ok so am familiar with android, and regularly flash and tweek my nookColor, but this phone is just WOW!
Ditching an iCrap4 for this phone was the best idea I had in a while, and within an hour after buying it I rooted it (had to do other shopping) . But there is so much more to choose from for an actual android device. The thing is I want to stay on stock 2.2.1 for a little while, until I do a lot more studying on roms.
Ok so here are my questions after tearing thru the searches with several different phrases:
1: Can I flash different kernels on stock rom? I keep getting many threads and read thru them hard but can't find the answer. Looking at Community Kernel 8.
2: Darn, reading thru other threads while creating this post fried my brain, forgot what 2 was.
Thanks y'all.
Yes You can! . I have flashed many different kernels on stock rogers infuse 2.3.3 with odin. I dont see why you wouldnt be able to on the AT&T version.
Sweet! Now to read up on odin, but will SGS or CWM work on the stock? That was the second question.

SGS kernel flasher works fine on stock ROOTED 2.2.1 ROM. I believe CWM is flashed/installed when you flash the community kernel in SGS kernel flasher or other method. I can't remember off-hand as it's been a while since I was on stock froyo for any length of time. LOL.
You will probably also want to read up on Heimdall as well. It's a good method of flashing pretty much anything to your phone and Odin can be finicky sometimes. Personally, I've never had a problem with Odin but knowing how to use both is a good idea. You know, just in case.
Even sweeter then, and I have CWM already, so that will get replaced? No problem.
This is gonna be hectic keeping all the stuff for the "andros" seperate. lol
I'm really itching to flash a rom, but this thing is set up like I like it, and it was a pain getting her there.
That is why I am waiting to flash, I'll get bored with the way it looks in a week or so, and start over.
Plus RESEARCH is crucial.
Thanks y'all
Ok flashing community v8 now and this voice is telling me it has 5 mins left, oh that is cool!
Now how do I tell if it took? What should cpu spy say? And I still have the green CWM. ( using rom manager, think its ok but can I switch it?)
3 button takes me to Red CWM 2.5.1.3 Voodoo lagfix. It wont let me get to my actual mSD card though. Is that normal?

I don't think rom manager does us infuse owners any good so you can install it but I've read it doesn't work all that well with our phones. It worked flawlessly with my n1 but support for infuse is not there yet.
I've never been able to mount the SD card in red cwm if that's what you were referring to. The community kernel does not overclock so really you just take advantage of the ext4 fs and voodoo lagfix (robot voice lol).
Hope this helps.

So everything is going good, trying out different radios now as service in my area sucks!
I have run into a small problem though, I really want a different boot animation, but there is no bootanamation.zip in the system/media folder on the stock rom. Just a bunch of .qmg files. Can I just add the file and it work? I was gonna try it, but wanted to see if anyone else was a guinea pig. Dont wanna screw something up too bad.

if your on stock i believe they are located somewhere else, but the main question is why are you still on stock??? :O
want good battery life and performance? CM7 is the way to go. yeah you can get prolly the same off infused or other roms, but thats after numerous tweaks, tweak this change that, tighten that up, loosen that up, delete that, add this blah blah blah. in my experiences, CM7 is the best out of all of them.
just my 7 cents.
Is everything (bluetooth) working on CM7 (HDMI doesn't I know)? Weird issues of any kind?
That or Serendipity are what I am looking at.
Bluetooth is the only buggy thing. But I don't use it so it doesn't bother me. Other than that its amazing.

If the bootanimation.zip isn't in system/media try data/local. I don't currently have an infuse, in waiting for mine , but other phones I've owned have had the zip in data/local... Good day
Tried data local, but I think the only way to get custom is to have a custom rom. No boot.zip on phone at all using a searcher.
it has to kernel enabled too... Once you get on CM7, if you do, it will be in the media folder.

Tried that too, no luck.
So Im lookin at S7, but coming from stock ROM, with infused 2.0 kernel, I know I need the infused GB kernel after flashing the ROM, but do I have to wipe system and DATA, and start customizing my stuff again? Or just format system, cache and dalvic, flash rom and kernel, fix permissions, and go? Then my phone should be the same with all stuff there, just updated to a better ROM.
Hello,
First time poster in this section. I just purchased a SGS4G on Swappa. It's coming rooted with Valhalla Final.
I am planning to get the Walmart/TMob $30 per month plan. I've rooted and flashed my Asus Transformer, but this is my first time with a phone.
So kind of wanted to know my best course of action? I was kind of leaning towards reset to factory, then go ahead and go through the steps to get Valhalla Black. But the rooting/flashing methods are a bit more complicated than what I was doing with my Transformer.
Thank you,
Anton
if it's already running Valhalla, there is no need to go back to factory. You can just flash the new rom through CWM.

If you go back to true stock then you will lose root. However, there are plenty of modified kernels and ROMs that come with root.
Check out bhundven's One-Click collection. Super easy way to flash the phone. The first one click is straight stock. The 3rd is stock with his beta 2d kernel which also has CWM, root, and voodoo lagfix. I'd suggest snagging the 3rd one, do a factory reset on the phone, flash the 3rd one, then you should be able to throw Valhalla back on it the way you want
what i did... Just me but i would always have that one click flash back to stock always available on your pc Its just me dude you never know what can go wrong.. always keep that back door available.. odin was like my best buddy "ugh" when i first started out..

There is a 1 gig internal storage space where the system (ROM, cache, etc) resides. You can install some apps on your sd card (16 gig separate removable space) to save space on the system storage. All of your files, pics, and music end up on the sd card.
He is running valhalla final....there is no reason for him to be concerned with bootloaders at this time when all he wants to do is flash valhalla black.....this doesnt need to be made more complicated than it is...specially for someone new.....this phone is alot more durable and hardy than alot of you guys give it credit for and are only scaring the new people

Your right. It doesent need to be complicated. Nor is it.
One click back to "stock with beta2d", flash desired gb rom.

Dont worry the developement for this phone is slow compared to most so your not gonna miss much.
Only prob ive seen so far in this forrum is there is alot of clutter and to many different opinions on how and what to do and use to flash roms and and such...it is actually very easy...just pick a way and stick with it and learn the other ways slowly....but dont worry....the galaxy s series is virtually unbrickable

With everyone fleeing the Charge (lol) I figure I might as well pick your brains while I can. It seems we could use a full Odin FP1 so everyone wouldn't have to go back to EP4 and take OTA's. Nandroid backups don't seem too reliable and are version specific. I've never had an issue with Odin and it seems a better backup/restore process. What I've read so far states that I need unix to build a full Odin. Any suggestions on what flavor of unix? What about ROM and theme development? Unix or Windows?

Well you won't be able to pull everything you need for a full odin (at least in the sense of what people use when going back to EP4). Check out this thread for some info on making an ODIN.
Ubuntu is probably pretty widely used for development in Android. At the least I'd dual boot it with Windows or run it from a USB drive.
The flavor of Linux is just a matter of preference really....One doesn't have any major advantages or disadvantages over another distribution.

I read the entire thread too. Still confused since someone had to make the full EP4 Odins in the first place. I'm used to beating my head against the wall at work so I'll just have to give it a shot. :banghead:

LOL - yeah it can be. I'm pretty sure the full ODINs we see are actually leaked in some way - but how that goes about I have no clue.
