Where/How To Cultivate a Leak - Verizon Droid Charge

Here's my question. How does a leak get from Samsung to the outside? How are relationships built with an inside source the allows for a leak to be leaked? I just read an article that the Galaxy S III has already had it's ROM leaked, but nothing lately for the Charge. I remember Imnuts posting that there was an internal ICS build for the Charge, so how does that get from there to here? I guess this is more of a rant than a true question.

You have to have someone with ability and incentive. A few people have released leaks for the Charge in the past. Most prominently were p3droid (Team Black Hat) and pentafive. I've confirmed that p3droid is no longer active in the Charge scene, and I haven't seen anything from pentafive at all in a long time (since the stock EP4 Odin in early December).
Personally, I'd rather have a full Odin of FP1 above all else. It's annoying to get back to stock right now.

Agreed. Having stock odin packages is huge. I like the ROMs, like Tweakstock 1.x, that came as full package with kernel, radio, etc. too. It makes everything easy and also easy to help other people do it who refuse to read and learn (my friend and sister, not people on the forums).

[Q] How to make the phone not suck...

I'm coming over to USCC from Verizon (and my Thunderbolt, which I liked, when I was near a charger) because I changed jobs and Verizon doesn't have service where I work. However, even without service, the Thunderbolt seems to be a better phone than this Mesmerize.
So, is it my phone, or do I need a custom ROM:
Bluetooth sucks - half the time it doesn't connect, sometimes it drops out, it pairs with devices but then won't use them.
Notification sounds are slow and choppy, as are ringtones and alarms
It locks up
Video playback is choppy to the point of being unusable
Now, I LOVE the screen - it's beautiful, and works well. These problems all cropped back up even after a clean wipe. I did use Launcher Pro instead of the samsung launcher, and got rid of live wallpaper. I used a task killer to see if that would help. Nope. Basically, I need to reboot the phone before I make a call. Is it my phone, is there a trick, do I need a custom rom?
I would suggest the Heinz 57 ROM. It includes a voodoo kernel that can be overclocked and undervolted for battery life and performance. I have had great luck with this combo. Aslo, welcome to the mesmerize. With the right ROM/Kernel combo it is an amazing phone.
Tap-a-Talked.
Frankly, it sounds like you either got a lemon or this is all user error. Because that's an odd rap sheet of issues to be having with a new phone.
OP is a ******. These phones rock.

That's really helpful, thank you. I'm not saying I don't like the phone, I just don't know if mine is a bad apple, or if there are good tweaks to use.

My god someone document this, I don't think it'll ever happen again!
If it shipped with 2.2 it's probably normal to have issues, where 2.1 was a way more solid build. Either way, the issues you're reporting aren't common so you could try a custom ROM or a reflash of stock to see if you still have them, if so then you're phone is ****ed

I was going to mention your point, but even just doing a search with "CM7" brings you this: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=cm7&qscrl=1
The first link takes you to the blog. The second takes you to the official site.
Before getting this phone I didn't know what Samsung's RFS was, or even Voodoo lagfix. I just thought it had something to do with an old graphics card. I'm not picking sides - all I'm saying is that some of this information is readily available.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not the guy that's gonna sit here and say, "we have no development, this phone sucks, i hate the world." I completely understand that people move on, or get stuck on something and end up giving up. So don't start with the "uh...." comments. I was simply stating that Danalo is the only one that is ACTIVELY doing stuff and that I was going to start helping.
I also know that Infinity is still in the works as well. So as I was saying, 2 devs, 4 themers. Not very much going on for a "flagship" phone with an unlocked bootloader.

Or Supercurio. He really made this phone with lagfix, Voodoo Sound, and Voodoo Screen Tuning. He mentioned he's working on screen-tuning (our phone included) still, but I don't think he has a Charge.

ICS on its way for Charge

Looks like imnuts and jt are putting their heads together to get ICS kernel to boot on Charge.
I pledge $20 as soon as a working ICS rom is out. Please support their work.
Not impressed with GNEX. I plan to stay on my Charge for a while.
Update 2/14/12: I'm not holding my breath for ICS on Charge anymore. Looks like Samsung is holding back some critical pieces. If I had time, I'd work on it myself. Since I don't, I have no right to complain. Those of you who are interested in tracking progress, please follow the link below:

4G LTE Tapatalked
Btw on rootzwiki there are sometimes different things and tid bits of info.... Too the op if you really are already behind it, meaning ics, just donate because the work the devs put it including themers, testers, rom developers,and tweakers is worth it even if we don't get it... I donate sparingly because I'm currently unemployed and somewhat frugal when it comes to giving free money, but his work and others has inspired me to do things myself, like theming... It's not for everyone as any aspect it's time consuming like people wouldn't believe, but it's satisfying... Time = $$$$$ so if you want to maybe push him along and show him the charge is worth his time and others drop a donation.... Don't say well if you do this, when almost every dev for android is worth more than just a few empty promises of donations.... Just donate and they will provide you with information, help, tweaks, colorful and some not so colorful themes, and roms for your pleasure.... I'm sure they get slack for the time put on by there irl friends and family ad I just started and Im already getting it.... So again just donate.... Empty promises never inspired anyone...

Can you please let us know how is the rom working?
Home button and camera doesn't work on the ICS build. It APPEARS much faster than 2.3.5 (a lot less stuttering for me but I wasn't playing with any special builds there....)
the installer.zip auto reformats you to ext4.
It shows extreme promise for an alpha build IMHO.

ICS?

OK what is so attractive and or benificial about ics....I mean I keep looking at it on other phones and such and yet im still trying to figure out what the hype is all about......sorry but I don't see it....LOL

I think if I wanted to read specs I would have went to Google.
What I want is other peoples opinion
Edited: removed my sarcasm.
not a flame war starter, that's my opinion.
Age doesn't matter on an online forum
And you didn't directly ask for an opinion, if you'd restated the Q, then you'd have a different answer.
Anyways, it's cool man, no worries.
Next,
my opinion.
I completely agree with eollie,
also, it's just more stable. I'm sure you're aware with the GB stability flaws, like flight mode, ril fails at times, still not as fast as wanted.
ICS fixes a lot of those issues, and makes it more stable at bootup.
A lot of the appeal I think is the fact that Samsung denied us ICS. Makes people want it even more lol. Like you, I haven't really gotten what the big deal is but I could've missed something. I'd like to hear some opinions from those who have used both gb and ics and can give us the pros and cons (if there are any).
