I love my charge. Battery life is great, screen is awesome, and it is fast. I agree though that the colors are terrible. Here's what I modified and mine runs smooth as silk:

1: Install a rooted Rom.

2: install titanium backup

3: remove bloatware

4: install ADW Launcher

5: install and use Opera Mobile. Seriously, its wicked fast.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Sherwood1:
Opera mobile is my favorite. But touchwiz makes the phone slow and clunky. Also anyone notice that when you hit power button to shut screen on and off its a slow shuttery fade?

A true working asop or custom Working Rom never came to fascinate will it come to charge?

Theme / skin Rom. ... I don't count these if touchwiz is what Rom is based off of.

I was on a US Airways flight that had GoGo in-flight WiFi and after seeing the price I figured it was not that important to pay that much just to surf. So I was fidgeting and opened Google maps and it downloaded the maps so I went a bit further and searched the maps and it came up with a bunch of stuff so I was thinking that it must be using some hole in their security or something so I kept fidgeting and got to the market and was able to load up so I tried to download an app and sure enough there it was on the progress bar just downloading away! I didn't go much further cuz I had cured my boredom.

Pretty cool I just figured I'd share.

This is just a quick way to switch between bootloaders. Most people are downloading ~150MB to upgrade to downgrade there bootloaders. This is a small 7MB for GB & 8MB for froyo download to help you flash just your boot loaders.

An example, you on froyo and want to install a custom CWM gingerbread ROM, you can now just download the gingerbread bootloader and flash it insted of flashing a full ROM.

Or, if you on gingerbread and wish to flash CM7 you need to downgrade, again insted of flashing a full ROM, just download the froyo bootloader and flash that :)

Downloads:

EZboot-Froyo-1.0.tar.md5 - Froyo

EZboot-GingerBread-1.0.tar.md5 - GingerBread

EZOdin​

Instructions:

Remember this flashes the bootloader, if it fails it means you might be trouble.

Download the right version from section above

Reboot your phone into Download mode

Connect your phone to computer

Run EZOdin

Select EZboot-Froyo-1.0.tar.md5 or EZboot-GingerBread-1.0.tar.md5as a PDA file in EZOdin

Check the "Phone Bootloader Update" checkbox

Click Start

Wait until phone reboots and make it reboot into Recovery

Flash a custom CWM ROM

Screenshots:

GingerBread - Froyo​

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] redstripes89:
Stupid question:

The CM-installation instruction says that you have to be on a rooted froyo with CWM.

Are these requirements fullfilled by flashing the EZbase?

And does this mean I only have to make a nandroid backup, put the newest CM7-zip on my sdcard, flash EZbase, go to recovery and flash CM/ and... done?!

and which kernel? hardcore on froyo and for gb?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
This is bootloader only, so no ROM/no kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tt0204:
Yes...The CM guide says froyo with CWM means froyo bootloader with recovery that has abilitiy to flash your own zips.

Btw thx NO3 (nitr8--nitrate XD). It's awsome. And which kernel is it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] redstripes89:
Thanks! Will give it a try then when my phone has charged completely.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] corgar:
a kernel "zImage" is inside the zip so a kernel is included, but which one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nitr8:
CF kernel with CWM for GB

SpeedMod kernel with CWM for froyo

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
What bootloader did you have? and what did you flash to?

TrOjAn
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Siberian Tiger:
If you are on froyo and flash gb bootloaders the phone won't boot .

Am i right?

So AUTO REBOOT UNCHECK.

when finish flashing bootloaders pull the battery out go to recovery format and install the desire custom rom.

Is that correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] enel_:
If I switch to froyo bootloader but I have a Gingerbread rom flashed, I shouldn't let the phone reboot because than I brick my phone, am I right? :confused:?

After EZodin flashes the bootloader should I disconnect the phone from my PC, pull the battery out and than reboot into recovery so I can flash a froyo rom or CM7 rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
You won't brick your phone. Just do a battery pull and then go to either Download or recovery mode via 3 button method.

Unless of course you don't have 3 button method available, then such users deserve to be screwed. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AdamOutler:
Flashing primary and secondary bootloaders (the MD5s binaries) causes you to brick your phone. If a bad PBL/SBL is sent over, or the USB cable you're using is bad, then the data which gets there will not be able to do it's job. Rebooting it seals the deal. That's how you can tell if the data was good or not.

We're still working on killing bad PBLs which would allow booting over UART.... no success so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] olivercervera:
Thanks! Works very well :D

If I just flash the froyo bootloader with EZodin im good to go?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TRusselo:
this is awesome, nice to see someone put this together finally.

Now we just need one for captivate, or are the booties the same? i know the GB was ported over but not sure about the froyo bootloaders...

I have a mini update for going to GB but not Froyo
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] liron_69:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jamaljmys:

if iam on official froyo or GB and i flashed one of those bootloaders as required, i will find CWM needed to flash my new custom rom??

Edit: question: if I am on CM7/MiUi can I flash ginger bootloaders and then a custom ginger ROM through CWM?

Edit2: yes JVH sure... but JVO..?can you also.upload the JVO bootloaders pls?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zenlakin:
Hey guys, I just downloaded the GB bootloader and flashed it and now I am stuck at the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen and it won't boot any further. I also am not able to get into download mode any longer using the 3 button method.

Before flashing the bootloader I had SimplyHoney 3.6 ROM installed...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gammelgustav:
1. SH3.6 is JVH isn't it? So why did you flashed GB bootloaders....

2. Or did you want to install a JVO/P/I ROM? yeah then you need JVO/P/I bootloaders...but if you had read the first post...this are jv-B- bootloaders so even earlier than JVH.... everytime READ PLS!!

3. So if i get this right...you stuck and first galaxy s white/black screen...and even can't get into download mode! This is Crap!

advice for you....search the forums!

and good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TettZor:
Some people's philosophy seems to be "to read before flashing is like wiping my arse before taking a crap"

Tip

a tip for you guys looking for bootloaders...

on the previous page i posted about the vibrant thread with a backword compatible gingerbread bootloader.. that means you flash the gingerbread bootloader and you never have to go back to the froyo bootloader..

i talked to the OP there and he said i can flash the gingerbread bootloader he put in his thread cause its a i9000 bootloader in the first place..

he recommended this one, i flashed it, flashed darky 9.5 (froyo) which worked just fine..

next day i flashed darky 10.1 (gingerbread) with odining the rom darky said we should before flashing his rom, didn't flash anything, just flashed his rom and it worked just fine...

just thought you might enjoy this..

best of luck

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MrGibbage:
I was on SH GB and I want to go back to FROYO. When I was on froyo before, I used the 3-button method to get to recovery. When I was on GB, I used the VOLUP+PWR for recovery, and VOLDN+PWR for Download. So when I onin-ed the Foryo bootloader here, I thought I would go back to the 3-button method, but it turns out I still have to use the GB methods. No problem. But when I go to recovery now, and try to re-install packages, it say my update.zip is missing. So it looks like I have to re-root and re-CWM? Wow, it's been so long that I don't know if I remember how to do that.

As in JVH JVP JVQ ?

I have tried the following command, and yes they filepath is valid for the adb

\Android SDK\tools>adb bugreport | find "bootloader"

and all i got was unknown as a reponse :(

I have been flashing away like the rest of us, but every now and then a slight stumble occurs and after following the steps exactly, the only thing I am unable to confirm is the bootloader info

Same question for me. Cm7 last release are supporting GB bootloaders. Can i use this method without risks?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
If you are already on CM7, I wouldn't use these packages, as these contain samsung-ROM kernels, which don't work for CM7. I would use the bootloaders on the site of codeworx:

http://codeworkx.de/download/galaxysmtd/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] baba420:
There is no such a thing like CM7 bootloader or Samsung bootloader. Bootloader = bootloader. Also there is no difference between those from codeworkx and several other GB bootloaders floathing on XDA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaikat:
I got even bigger news, you don't need to keep switching bootloaders to go from froyo to gingerbread and vice-versa, i installed the gingerbread bootloaders, and i'm currently running darky 9.5 (froyo)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
That is partly true, bootloader = bootloader. But the bootloader in this topic is not purely a bootloader, it also contains a kernel. And this kernel is only for Samsung-ROM, not for CM7-ROM. So although the bootloader as such is not different, the package containing it are not created equal. That's why I recommended to download them from codeworx-website: these are bootloaders without kernel (and with MD5-checksum).

If you have never flashed before, then so some more reading learn the easy way..

Using bootloaders which you do not understand then you may brick your phone..

And most custom roms do not need different/extra bootloaders.. Always read custom rom instructions on installs procedure..(that will confirm if bootloader needed our not)
