Help Picking A Rom

I rooted my device with a kernel and I have EE4. What rom will be good? I had the thunderbolt and used CM7. I know the droid charge dont have that yet. Im a bit confused about all the different numbers that i see around the forums. With the thunderbolt all you needed to know is which radio to have installed with the rom. Some please point me to the good roms that will work.
Im stock right now with root. EE4

I'd recommend Eclipse 1.3.1 for SURE. Having tried both GC and Humble beforehand I can seriously say Eclipse is great. I just like how much better Eclipse looks over the other ones. Sure themes can change that but just try Eclipse out and see how it goes. If you don't like Eclipse then Humble is certainly the one you will like.
If you're worried about losing apps or other such things just download Titanium Backup(just pay for the full version, it's much better if you are going to backup/restore alot).
also, this should be in the general section

can you shoot me a link? Also same way to install like on my thunderbolt right? Either use rom manager and select the rom on my sd card or boot into recovery?

gummy, eclipse, and humble are all great. I have found trade offs with each but the developers are actively involved in the forum and are constantly working on their roms to you just have to find which one you like best...but you will switch from time to time anyway if you are like the rest of us
I have stayed away from the GB roms since there seem to be a few bugs and I was never really impressed with GB on my DX. I still run froyo on that phone.

Ya, stick with Froyo for now.
I've used both Eclipse & Humble and both have benefits. I prefer Eclipse 1.3.1 for now...very fast, decent battery & good looking GUI.

if i install eclipse 1.3.1 will i lose root since i used a kernel to get root?

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

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

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

Idk, but I can't get away from Eclipse 1.2. It runs the fastest out of any rom.

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

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

so everyone said to use eclipse 1.3.1. i noticed here

that it says no kernel is included with rom. So do I just keep the kernel I have that gave me root or do I flash the rom then the new kernel the dev recommends?

Like others, I'm on Eclipse 1.3.1 and imnuts's 7/31 kernel. Right now, I don't think that gb offers anything more than the froyo roms for this phone.

how are people's battery with the eclipse rom?

It may have been mentioned but do not use ROM manager. I am not sure of the exact reasons why, but but it doesn't play well with this phone or the Fascinate

so flash the rom then flash the kernel?

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

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

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

we are in the same page buddy....

Hey Brandon, this thread gives a great description on how to root your charge. => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14692818
If you still have questions feel free to ask, and I'll try to answer them as best as i can.

Ok, so i got it rooted and just installed a de-bloated stock Rom. Its ok, but now question is, if i decide to install a gingerbread Rom or any other Rom such as gummycharged, can i just install like i did on my bolt or x in cwm or do i have to use this odin program? if i have to use odin, how do i go about installing that way? thanks in advance...

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

Sweet. Thanks alot dude. That's awesome to know. I don't really wanna get into messing with odin. I like being able to do everything from my phone and not having to hook up to the laptop.

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

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

nice summation (is that a word? lol)... this is all you need to know, its not hard as Sammy phones in my experience are the easiest to root/rom/recover

This was all helpful. I installed gummycharged with no issues. One other thing. Is the install of a kernal for gingerbread roms done in cwm? And what is a standard kernal to use? Do I need to install a different radio?? Thanks.

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

Thanks thats exactly what i needed, i now have cm7 loaded up.
one question tho, while cm7 would install fine i initially tried to flash the ICS port by teamhacksung and it resulted in a bootloop, is there some step im missing? are someupdates only installable from internal sdcard?

You must be on a mtd based rom, which cm7 is, (touch wiz roms are bml based) before flashing to ics. U should be able to flash ics with no problem now.

Enjoy, it's quite different

Well, ics successfully flashed this time.
Only difference from my last attempt was I flashed a cm7 nightly instead of stable, also once on cm7 I flashed a newer radio as well as the glitch kernel. Dunno what had affected it before but its now running nicely on ics build 9.
Thanks for the help guys, I guess where I got hung up is where cwm resides in the kernel on this device? Where on all my htc's we simply flash cwm over the stock recovery. Anyways thanks again!

The glitch kernel is not compatible with ics, as of yet. It was over written when u flashed ics I'm pretty sure.

Well being completly new to this device was a lot of learning, I still have no idea what I did wrong initially to get stuck in bootloops, but I somehow managed to get cm7 working and then up onto ics so all is well as far as I can see now. Its a backup device for us so I'm pretty sure I will only be flashing ics as it matures. Must say the ics on the cappy is pretty far ahead in terms of usability compared to the desire z, great work here from your devs! And thanks for the pointers guys!

Peter Alfonso's GPA19 ROM is the most stable one that I tried. Look for Peter Alfonso's site and click the Downloads link for crespo. I would post a link here, but XDA's nonsense won't allow it.
Download the 12-07-11 one to get the latest GB version. There aren't a lot of customizations like CM, Oxygen, MIUI, etc., but it's stable as hell. The latest Oxygen (2.3.2) has a REALLY obnoxious, and largely ignored, backlight notification bug where you have to reboot to get the lights to go out... only way I've ever found to fix it is to install another kernel. However, Peter Alfonso's got one of those too... just go to his site and it should be on the second page of the "blog."
I know you said you didn't like ICS, and I didn't either at first, but Pete's ICS ROMs are also great and very stable. The latest is 01-30-12, and you can get it from the same crespo download page.

question.
hey man i got a question, could i use peter alfonso's rooted stock rom for gingerbread (right?) when downgrading, right? instead of re rooting it.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Both of his ROMs are pre-rooted, so no, you won't have to re-/root anything. But since you're going from ICS to GB you'll have to wipe everything, so there's no real "downgrade" path.
From a rooting perspective, the only difference I've noticed, that's kind of annoying, is that his GB ROM contains busybox and his ICS ROM doesn't. It's not a deal-breaker since there are Market apps to add it in, but it's kind of annoying that the binary has to be re-linked after each update/flash.

Im asking that if i can reverted back to gingerbread version without loosing root, may i install his pre-rooted stock without loosing root. Thats all, but since you mentioned it, im relived to revert it back. but i couldnt find his link could you provide me one? Also is it regular to flash it back to gb or is there a special method to do it?

I can't post links yet because our fine friends at XDA say that I need to post more for the privilege. Pfft.
You should be able to type peter alfonso downloads crespo and get to the page. 12-07-11 is the latest GB version (GPA19).
There's no "special" method for flashing, just do what you would do when going from one incompatible ROM to another... wipe data/factory reset, format cache partition, format /system, wipe dalvik cache. There are probably a million different combinations that different people will give you for the proper install, but that's what I normally do.

Tryout CyberGR's CM7 MOD and you won't go back:

[Q] Blue or Red CWR? confused

Hello, Im actually a inc2 user, and used to be a fascinate user. A friend of mine saw my phone and is tired of having his slow stock 2.1 ,mesmerize, so i opted to help.
As said, he was on 2.1. I odined to 2.2.1, now up to 2.3....Now I am trying to get a custom rom for him. In the sticky im finding both a cwr 4.0 and 2.5... One is blue and one is red.
My question... is if im trying to get a cm7 or miui for him... what recovery do I use.
I heard you need to be on 2.2 to go to cm7, and to use cwr 4.0 to flash.. however... when I do that... it goes instantly into a samsung bootloop and never flashes. When i try flashing with 2.5 cwr red version, it aborts.
basically my question is now that im on 2.3 what version cwr do I use, and how do i get to either cm7 or miui?
thanks!

If you're trying to goto CM7 or MIUI, then you'll need cmr 4.0 before hand. Red is the custom recovery only used for custom roms running gingerbread or bellow. I definitely suggest checking out ICS on rootzwiki though, it's the best mes/sc/fas rom I've used so far! ^.^

Instructions is in the mes post(http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13774-rom-jts-ics-build-edited-for-mesmerize-showcase-build-6/), not working list is in the fasc post that the mez version is based on.(http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16630-romicsiml74k-teamhacksungs-ics-port-for-fascinate-build-61-0201/)
I'm not sure why your recovery flash isn't working. There's a tutorial here (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10728-guideinstalling-a-romcwm-recoveryrootor-going-back-to-stock/).

You need to flash the file named "CWM4 FIXED FOR CM7" if you are flashing mtd rom to mez. "CWM-RECOVERY-ALL-3-30-FIX" for tw roms
You might find more help at rootzwiki, this forum died months ago during developer exodus... they all went there

That is not true, this phone was never one that got much attention, there are plenty of developers here with a vibrant user community....just not for this phone, unfortunately.

You're mistaken. This formally was the main forum for the mesmerize and showcase; however, disagreements between some of the developers and xda's admin caused many people to move to rootzwiki. We still are and have been a fairly active community.

Ah, my mistake, I thought you meant XDA in general. That dispute predates my time here as moderator.
