Since my charge is still ED1 stock right now, should I just root with ED1 and upgrade to ED2 V4 or should I d/l ED2, then root, then install ED2 V4 by flashing it through CWM from the SD card?
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
Its a spy cam to peek at you when you are fiddling with your phone while on the porcelain throne.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DeathWalking:
Would you mind explaining this more? Is "Odin custom kernel" what JT published?

What I'm aiming for is installing CWM via RM. I saw that we need a custom kernel to make it work? I'm a relative Android newbie so I'm a little lost.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Yes, what JT published are an Odin custom kernel and Odin CWM recovery files.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ballanda123:
Love this ROM!

AWESOME ROM! So good, I can even live with the orange theme :D Donation forthcoming. One question, it seems I can only choose between silent OR vibrate. The sound settings don't let you work with both. In other words, push the volume down button all the way to the minimum. Usually, it goes down through silent, then vibrate. Here, the minimum setting can only go to either silent or vibrate, depending on your sound settings. Am I missing something? Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] dspolen:
for now do not use Rom Manager...
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
That's how it works on Froyo from what I've seen, though I do have a limited experience with Froyo devices.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PorscheGuy:
I "think" only CM7 has an option that you can check to enable that from the volume buttons. The option went away with the new vibration settings under sound settings in Froyo. You would have to use a widget now to switch to and from vibrate only.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ballanda123:
OK cool, thanks... Now that i think about it, my knowledge of this functionality comes mostly from the Thunderbolt... maybe it was only specific to the evil Sense UI.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
In the Android sound settings, there's a section where you can set the device to vibrate only when NOT in silent. That'll give you the extra "pure" silent volume setting that I believe you're looking for.
[Verizon Droid Charge] got_rice64:
Im also in the same situation. Please advise.

Thanks!

Just flash the rom your good. Doesn't matter if your ed1 ed2 or hell even ed50 wouldn't effect it
[Verizon Droid Charge] got_rice64:
Forgive me as im a droid noob, but wouldn't flashing the rom wipe all the data?

-Sent from my Droid Charge via tapatalk
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Flashing the ROM will not wipe data unless you do it yourself in CWM.

Also, I think there is something causing a wakelock with the ROM, or it's an app I have installed. Going to investigate unless someone else finds the problem first.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
Thank you I appreciate the help. Once I get my phone restored I will just root and opt for this ROM build. If and When I decide to go back to stock I will need to disable the voodoo lag fix and of course restore to a stock ROM, is the best option going to be Stock Rooted ED1 (downgrade from ED2) [2011.05.18] ROM that is here?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
So far, that is your only option for stock.AFAIK
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
Thank you.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Aflac01:
I'm very new to android (dumped iPhone about a week ago.....finally) so I know I'm a noob. But I was having the same issue with the wake lock after flashing this rom. I turned off the auto launch on dock settings and it started working fine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] calikorban:
No Market

So I installed this on top of Altered Beast and the Market.apk was not there. I even tried installing gapps but the market was not installed. Also the Gmail.apk was gone as well. Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
I tried that, and it helped, but I found the problem. The issue is indeed the dock, and I think it's related to the removal of the TW Launcher. I'm going to see if I can get rid of the checks that the system does to prevent the wakelock when TW Launcher isn't there.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
I'm quite a bit interested in this ROM.

I have 2 questions, tho:

1) Does this ROM significantly improve the SamCharge battery life?

2) Does this ROM significantly improve the SamCharge performance?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
Why don't you just try it and find out? Each phone behaves a bit differently so there's really no way we can tell you. I will say it feels snappier than the stock for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
Hi, teddykgb715 - Normally, I would "just try it". I've run a ton of ROMs on my Moto Droid, and on my WM6 phone(s).

The only problem is that it seems like CWM is a bit shaky right now. If I don't like this ROM, and I want back to where I am right now with my Charge, it appears that it may take hour(s) instead of minutes - reconfiguring and reinstalling apps, and possible compatibility issue with Odin.

Am I wrong about that?
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
To some extent. Your homescreens would have to be redone, but use Titanium Backup for your apps. Then they're all backed up and even if you did lose them you could just restore them using that.

BUT, installing the rom doesn't wipe all your stuff anyway....
[Verizon Droid Charge] mohkg:
no screenshots can someone pleasse post screenshots thank u guys will donate if good
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
This is the stock rom, just with all the bloat removed. Doesn't look any different than what you're using now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
It won't significantly improve performance or battery life, but it should help some as there will be less junk running in the background.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
I'm going to root, cwm and then install this ROM to get me started with my fixed Charge. Thanks for the hard work imnuts.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jadsru1:
Im sorry if someone answered this already. My marker hasnt updated, after I loaded this rom. Still looks like the old market. It works but bothers me. Thanks for any help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Mine was the same, but it updated on its own.
[Verizon Droid Charge] got_rice64:
Does that mean CWM is fully functional? or just for updates?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ffd173:
I believe that cwm is still not complete. You can't use it for backup or restore yet. It's just for installing updates. Correct me pig I'm wrong.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
To answer my own questions:

1) Debloated v4 seems to have improved my battery life, although I can't say for sure - I also changed my email from polling to push notification at the same time. It certainly didn't make things worse, though. :)

2) If Quadrant is a good benchmark, I see a

lower

(!) score on Debloated vs. the Voodoo/Lagfix ED2. My Quadrant scores under Voodoo/Lagfix ED2 were ~1500, and under Debloated were ~1200. That said, I didn't see anything too noticeable in degradation under normal usage. I'm not sure what portions of the benchmark may have been affected - it may have been only one subtest that was worse. I was willing to bet good money that things would be better under Debloated in regards to performance.

Huh. :confused:
[Verizon Droid Charge] got_rice64:
Have you used Battery Monitor Widget? Great monitor app to see the mA usage..

Also gives great estimations for discharge times.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jadsru1:
Im having a terrible time with my gps. Im in 4g covered tampa bay area, however my gps just sucks. It takes a long time to lock. Usually by the time it locks, ive already arrived or gotten lost at my destination. I've had Dinc, TB, moto droid.and this is the worst 4g gps performance I've seen. Any help. Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
GPS Performance is completely independent of having 4G access or not.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chad253:
I flashed this rom over Altered Beast and everything is working well with the exception of I can't get my AOL account to set up with the stock email app. (I don't want to hear how lame AOL is, I've had this account longer than half of you have been alive, ha!) I have K9 running but I actually prefered the stock email setup a little better. It keeps telling me "Setup could not finish/ Error in login, invalid credentials" I wiped the cache and dalvic before installing the zip. Any ideas or should I try and wipe and reinstall again?

Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
No idea what the issue may be. If you could send me a logcat or any other info that may help me fix it, I can try to then. I don't have an AOL account to test with though, so I can't fix it alone.

Also, updated the OP with a little update. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] jadsru1:
Any other idea on how I can improve this. I am almost starting to think that the phone might be deffective, it is so slow. I have never experienced this before in any droid phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Redflea:
Do you have AGPS enabled in location/security settings? That speeds location/GPS lock over stand-alone GPS. The settings don't call it AGPS, it may be referred to as Google location services or VZW location services...can't remember what it looks like on Froyo (I'm on GB on my D2, here as I'm considering a Charge, and looking into ROM options).
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
You said tampa? My gps has been flawless since I have gotten it. I've used it from tampa to orlando down to boca and it hasn't given me any issues.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
Go into the GPS settings and turn on all 3 options. Once I enabled A-GPS and Google's location services, I can get a 5-7 satellite lock in under 15 seconds. My DX was far better, but I'm dealing with it as I don't use GPS all that often.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] arjun90:
I'll be getting a Galaxy S2 soon and wanted to know which case is better in terms of quality,

http://www.clove.co.uk/case-mate-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-gelli-case-clear

- According to the item description, this case features Flexible thermoplastic - softer and more robust than silicone or rubber

http://www.clove.co.uk/case-mate-samsung-galaxy-ii-i91000-barely-there-black

- According to the item description, this case has a cutting-edge appearance with its rubber matte finish

- Contains, Impact resistant flexible plastic shell

I only want to buy one of the two cases mentioned above. Are both cases TPU? What is a flexible plastic shell? Is the same as TPU? I specially want a case that is matte finish. If the 1st case mentioned above is TPU, shouldn't be matte. I'm having some trouble telling the differences.

Please let me know. Thank you. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Well I have used the Barely There case for my N8 for quite some times and its quite good. I mean it protects the back and the camera from scratches and it is barely there as the name suggests. Very slim for a hard case and I guess people will be wanting to keep the slimness on the GS II pretty much as it is. In that case, I would go for the Barely There.

But with that said, if you are in need from protection, because if your phone falls down especially with the front facing downwards, the extra protection on the front in the gel case will help absorb the impact. However its unprotected on the barely there case and it will get scratched.

So far the Barely There case ahs been good for me and I went for 8 months without scratches. Last week I dropped my phone facing downwards and it got scratched. It wouldnt have happened in a gel/silicon case. And it doesnt matter even if youre very careful with your device like me. Sometimes it just happens.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tempest2112:
Using a case-mate barely there, had one on my Galaxy S and couldn't fault it. Keeps the phone at its original form factor plus give a nice amount of grip but still slides into pockets easily without sticking.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] blackheart2925:
Arjun - case mate barely there cases are available from Croma ...though not the SGS2 cases right now...at least you can check it out and see if you like it or not...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] arjun90:
Hey all, thanks for your responses so far.

My only main concern, is that I want a case of good quality that will give me good all-around full protection around the sides of the phone.

Does any one know if the Casemate Gelli Case provides this?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
yes the gelli case provides that. it provides more protection that the barely there case
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Johnny11:
Might be kinda off topic (apologies if hijacking) but does anyone know if the case-mate fits either the official dock or any of the ones off eBay?
[Thunderbolt General] ElectroFetish:
Anybody have any methods for taking care of scratches on the tb screen? I know somebody the other day that the tb uses a type of gorilla glass.. I was just wondering if there was a way to polish it out or anything along those lines, I really hate to use the screen protectors.
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
I haven't seen anything yet that will reliably "fill the gap" that results from scratches. :( If indeed the glass is Gorilla Glass, it certainly seems to be scratch prone. There is a nice, long thread here titled something like "I tried to scratch my TB with keys". Perhaps you may find something useful in there (though I think half the posts were flames, lol)
[Thunderbolt General] dalrym05:
This is the first touch screen phone ever that you will probably do need a screen protector for. Problem is I hate screen protectors and somehow this "gorilla glass" seems more like plastic to me. Especially after using some heavy cut diamond glaze compound made by meguiars my huge scratch in the screen in ggone. Makes me think its some kind of polycarbinate and not what everyone thinks its is. I finished up with a standard car wax and haven't gotten a scratch sense. This may sound stupid but I was despereate and trying everything and that's what worked.

My scratch was long and noticible but not that deep so don't expect miracles.
[Thunderbolt General] nmyeti:
This screen sucks, if it is gorilla glass it has something applied to the top of it because it scratches so easily. My DINC and Fascinate has much more durable screens. Between the screen and the kickstand flaking, this phone is lacking in durability.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I use a screen protector and while the screen protector has scratches all over it, the edges (The screen that the protector doesn't cover) have absolutely nothing on them. You can see scratches going from the protector and then should continue on to the screen but they just don't. At least for me, this screen is pretty solid.

Also, I use my kickstand everyday for videos, youtube, etc. and have no flaking what so ever. I have owned the phone since the day of launch and it still looks like new.
[Thunderbolt General] vmod32:
I had the flaking issue on the kickstand too.. I just scraped all the coating off with the round part of a paper clip. Now it's not a problem anymore and I think it looks better this way. Also the Google logo does not come off with the coating it's etched into the metal. So simple solution to this problem...
[Thunderbolt General] mokitaco:
What's up with this flaking nonsense? My kickstand looks fine :|
[Thunderbolt General] sammael1069:
It is poly-silica combo it will scratch. If you don't like screen protectors then I guess your gonna have scratches. Keep in mind if you never turn it on it will never break.
[Thunderbolt General] TheStick13:
LOL! This seriously made me laugh!
[Thunderbolt General] ElectroFetish:
so did you use a diamond glaze compound by meguiars, AND a standard car wax ? or just standard car wax?

thanks for the replies
[Thunderbolt General] tbcpn:
Use the Ultra Crystal here http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...-screen-protector-steinheil-ultra-series.html and you'll never know it's on unless you look too closely.

Never used a screen protector with my Dinc and never had a scratch. Used the Steinheil for years with my BlackBerrys. After reading about the issues folks were having with their Tbolt screens scratching, I put this protector on a month or so ago, and don't even notice it. I don't use a case.
[Thunderbolt General] rockstargroover:
I never use a case because I always holster my TB. But after wiping my phone off nightly I do see scratches. I'm upset with this. Thanks for link for ultra crystal
[Thunderbolt General] M@|ice:
how deep are the scrathes? i baby my phones, like BABY since i have OCD, so i have yet to get my first scratch.
[Thunderbolt General] catbertz:
+1 on the polycarb suspicion. My screen picked up a scratch somehwere, even though I baby it. I attempted to polish it out with a fine cut polish. While it did lighten, I can see very subtle evidence of my polishing. There appears to be a difference in the texture of the glass where I polished, almost as if I removed a coating.

I have since installed SGP Ultra Crystal which I really like. Never needed protector with my BB Storm..two years of heavy torture and not a single minute scratch. Go figure. I also have the kickstand flaking. I've really treated this TBolt like a piece of delicate china and its falling apart lol.
[Thunderbolt General] awwilson21:
My screen and kickstand both look like **** now. I went from launch of D1 until TB launch with my D1 in the SAME POCKETS at the SAME JOB, and it had no scratches... The only blemish on it was the Gold paint on the Camera button came off...

Gorilla glass... PFFT... more like Gorilla ass!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] philhyde:
Awesome, thanks for the endorsement!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I think I know the answer, but just want someone to confirm for me it before I upgrade to the paid version.

I have my POP email set to download every 30 minutes. I have Juice Defender set to allow connections every 30 minutes but do not get all my mail each time.

Can I set my email to override the settings in Juice Defender and force it to connect with the paid version?

Thanks for any feedback.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
Yes, I believe the paid version allows for configurable apps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I just wanted to confirm the stock email is compatible with the override in Juice. It is really causing me issues. Have you used it for that purpose?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jboxmods:
Just a quick question... why not setup your email as exchange? most servers support it now (I know gmail, hotmail, etc do) That way you can use push.

Othewrwise, you can set it to allow the email application data access whenever it requests it (even when the screen is off) and to not disable data until the traffic has dropped to a certain level. I'm still tinkering with it to get maximum battery whil receiving email and sms/mms whenever it comes across... It would be nice if we could tell the app do enable specific radios based on application (if you open the wifi calling app then turn on wifi, if you're not at a known wifi spot and you open the browser turn on mobile data but leave wifi off, turn wifi on but leave other radios off for data at home, etc.) The app has a lot of options and it takes a bit to figure it all out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenhglee:
I realize the advice is to try these out for myself to see which is better for ME, but I was just wondering if I could get some input on other's experiences for BEST BATTERY LIFE and performance/stability on sense roms. In fact mine is just the stock sense rom and I've just been switching our kernels to test them out, and so far, these 2 have been teh front runners for me and I can't seem to decide which to use.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbenson1226:
I'm looking for a bit of advice. I'm an og droid owner but just picked up a Dinc for my fiance so I'm fairly new to anything related to the Dinc. I've been reading like crazy trying to figure out which kernel to go with. Her battery life is horrendous so I'm hoping a different kernel will help. I rooted her phone last night but she wants me to keep it stock.

My question is: which kernels work with a stock Dinc? Are the two you mention here, okay to flash onto a stock Dinc? Also, doesn't Lou #8 leave out multi-touch?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
FWIW, Chad's Incredikernal has been the best one for me. A LOT of people like Lou's though, so it really is dependent upon YOUR phone. If you can't tell the difference, then it really doesn't matter.

Sbenson, try loading up SetCPU and underclock the phone a little. Also, you can set up profiles to reduce usage when screen is off, etc. Yes, both of those should work okay on a stock DI - actually most will work okay as long as the kernal is specifically for a Sense ROM.

Good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flight777:
Well the topic name says it all actually. Here in The Netherlands we mostly use a US International keyboard lay-out. The difference between the normal US keyboard are some special characters like the Euro sign that can be easily used with Left CTRL + Left ALT + 5 or Right ALT (ALT GR) + 5 to give an example. For full details on the differences google US international keyboard :D However, in windows the keyboard is software coded. So you can select different lay-outs by software. Is this also possible in Android 3.0/3.1? If so, can it be set to default? Helps me decide to buy one in the US or not :D (Transformer still not available here :( and I want the dock so bad!!)

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theparanoid:
No clue. I just got my tablet today. Have not been able to order a dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flight777:
Anybody else knows who does have one :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Naadi900:
Interested as well. Hopefully I get my Transformer on thursday (from the US, if it was in stock locally), and if I'm lucky also the dock!

Would be sweet if it would be software :)

Anyway, will keep an eye on this thread. Otherwise if nobody answers I'll do so on thursday night after my exams!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
I know the key layout configuration file is available in the system folder, I think it's called asusec.kl under system/usr/keylayout. You can see if you can change that to get the result.

If you do do tell since I'm moving to Holland in 9 days :p.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Naadi900:
Haha moving to Holland! I will have a look.. however to get to the keylayout file i need root right? Currently don't see real use of root yes, except for this of course hehe.

Make sure you buy all your tech in the US before heading to Holland, it's expensive here :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
I know, I lived in holland up till 2 years ago. That's also why I bought my transformer before heading back :p

P.S. Yes you need root.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flight777:
Good decision, everything is just so damn expensive here :(

So there is no built in option in Android to change it?
