Is this in regards to the wake time issue? What can I check/clear to try and resolve the issue? Or should I wait until I flash this new update that you're currently uploading?
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
OK Alpha Version 3

[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Awesome, downloading now. I'm glad the clock is fixed, I kinda need that :)

What is the Flying Window crap?
[Verizon Droid Charge] vc66:
DroidXcon-

Did you by any chance add samsung stock email back in with this version?
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Yeah it was added in the second to last version. I haven't flashed the newest version which he JUST added, but I will within the hour or so.
[Verizon Droid Charge] vc66:
Awesome, thanks for the quick response.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Yep, no problem. Just flashed V3.. we'll see how this goes.

Hey Mr. Dev Man, is it safe to install a different boot animation? I was going to install that one boot animation installer apk and try a few out but I wasn't sure what would happen considering the stock boot animation is on crack with the new kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] vc66:
Anyone flash Alpha 3 yet?

I'm about to do it, but I'd like to know if anyone experienced any problems as of yet.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
Flying windows is instead of the windows poping up they fly in from the sides or bottom.

i tried to address everything that was missing functionaly before such as voice commands etc...

Boot animations are not yet supported by the kernel i tried it already.
[Verizon Droid Charge] luckdog:
Nice Work!!

Hey developer, nice work!

Took an unorthadoxed way of getting to your ROM but Ihave all my original settings and everything seems to be working great! The phone is way more responsive that it was. The only thing I would change is the notification bar background as it makes the text a little difficult to read but it's no big deal. Great work brotha!
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
thanks im batting around a couple ideas , thanks man i think thats the first time someone has called me a developer lol, thanks but im no where near as good as jt ,nitsuj or imnuts . hopefully ill get to a quarter of where they are.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
I have, and I haven't noticed anything yet. I wanted to try video calling but my friends that have video calling capable phones are at work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Haze69:
Hey I was wondering do you guys have any lag on the charge running this Rom, I'm thinking about exchanging my tb for a charge but I'm worried about the slow processor and lag I've Been reading about,

And im wondering if a custom Rom like this could fix it

Please let me know your input thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
This rom is pretty freaking fast and benchmark scores went up considerably compared to stock. I haven't had any random reboots and I can't really remember too many FCs, and who knows if they were due to the rom. The Charge has been running perfect 99% of the time so far with this rom, and I've enjoyed the updates today. The only times it has hung was when the battery was low, which is understandable I suppose. Also, I was trying to download about 8 Playstation roms at once and 4G was just chugging along roasting the phone. It hung a decent bit when trying to view and scroll through the downloads viewer, but it was nothing to cry home about, and I think it was just the app taking a beating with all of the downloading. So, in all, it's been fast and stable as hell.

This is such an early build and it's already lightyears ahead of the stock donkey poop. Give it a month or so and I assume that there will be some incredible and stable builds out for the Charge. The phone just seems pretty hoss boss for what it is, and the display and camera just put the phone over the edge.

EDIT: Is it safe to use SetCPU with this kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] vc66:
Guess I was the SetCPU guinea pig. I've been using it since I flashed this rom about 5 hours ago and so far no problems.

EDIT: Speaking of SetCPU, what setting do most of you use...on demand, conservative, etc.?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hax0red:
What scores are you getting? Also what are you running the CPU?

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] r00t beer:
THANK YOU!!

I read most of the thread, followed the instructions and it was very simple. I didn't run across any issues. I'm new to samsung, prior to the charge I had the D1, then D2. I haven't played around much yet but seems much smoother without all the crapware. My benchmark score is in the 1400s. I will eventually post screenshot but it won't let me yet because I'm new to XDA forums.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jraskal:
Can't wait for custom load screens

I'd love to see the Altered Beast of old... lol. Except have it as an Android turning into a Beast
[Verizon Droid Charge] luckdog:
LTE and CPU root

I have been running this ROM for a couple days now and it has been very smooth and reliable. I have CPU root running on-demand and have been getting great battery life.

The only issue I have noticed is that after awhile the data network will drop to 3G. I can get it back to 4G by re-instating the data connections, it will return to 3g after a couple hours though. I have seen threads throughout the Charge forum referring to a "forced-4G" so I am thinking this is already a know issue at this point.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
what are you using to get that score i get 1550 on average using quadrant.?
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
yeah that has nothing to do with the rom more a network thing i had the same problem on my TB
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
Video added to OP for those who ask about lag
[Verizon Droid Charge] fivewall:
Is the notification background just a image file that can be replaced by chance? It's really bugging me!
[Verizon Droid Charge] fivewall:
I just noticed that there is no sign of the calendar app anywhere! EDIT: I just noticed the APK's in the first post.... my bad. On a side note, gmail crashes as soon as I open it with this rom...
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
yeah it will be changed in later versions my focus is getting rid of all the poop brown right now....also if you dont have calendar you are using an older version of the rom update to the latest
[Verizon Droid Charge] fivewall:
Thanks for the reply. I figured out the calendar but I still don't have gmail working. When I go to open gmail I get "Sorry! the application gmail (proc info) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Then the option to force close or report.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
with the latest version?
[Verizon Droid Charge] fivewall:
I was using vd4, is A3 newer? confusing file names lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
yeah A3 is newest, sorry vd4 is old, thats when i was refering to voodoo kernel 4
[Verizon Droid Charge] Blanco954:
I switched from TB and all I can say is I am glad I did this phone is light has better battery life and with this rom it is a beast on speed. Lag what lag this rom has the phone running smooth.
[Verizon Droid Charge] n4m347yp3:
Very impressed guys!

When I saw this phone back in January it looked 8x cooler then the TB, now, with this 1st major "try" at it, you pwn the face of my TB, Fascinate, Inc, and .... Evo.

Once downloaded, like 10 minutes and back on 4g. If anyone cares, for my gaming Wireless Tether is way better for ping on the Charge IMO. I'm playing CS:S at 30 ping, 300 fps on my system with this hog. <3

Who needs comcast ehh??

Oh, and your build makes Linpack go to 13.8 with Quads around 1500 :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
So glad to hear it guys thanks for the compliments im working hard and i have some friends like gunnermike and jaekar helping with themeing and animation, the next build should have shut down animation and some more themeing going on .

thanks for all the support
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Keep up the great work that is for sure. I just picked up a Charge on Friday and decided to run it stock for 2 days without accepting the OTA update as of yet. I did root mine this am seeing as I'm still on ED1. Anywhoo the plan is to be flashing this ROM a bit later today as long as to many beers don't go down by then....lol. Can't wait to toss a ROM on this thing as I'm happy with it so far but moving to a custom I'm sure will be a much better experience even with this still being an Alpha build atm.
[Verizon Droid Charge] r00t beer:
I used stock for a week because I was away. Debloating and using this rom make the phone 100% better. I'm glad I used stock for so long to see exactly what I don't want lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] r00t beer:
The file I have is: ABeastvd4_DXC.tar.md5
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
Use the new version i posted in the OP, but i meant are you using quadrant or another benchmark app
[Verizon Droid Charge] brabe1979:
Thanks DroidXcon this rom is topnotch for being so new....love it!
[Verizon Droid Charge] fivewall:
This megaupload host is horrible. I have been trying to download that latest version all day and I can't get it to not fail the CRC. Now it won't even download, it starts and then creeps down to 0K/B before it finishes and never finishes the download. I re-tried and now its telling me I exceeded their download limit but I never even managed to finish the file. What a joke.

mirror...
[Verizon Droid Charge] fivewall:
Thanks for the mirror, before I saw your reply I managed to get the file downloaded using my phones LTE instead of my cable connection. I flashed it and I just want to say thank you to droidx. Everything is now working including my gmail, and the notification background is a ton better on this version!

Thanks again!

[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
How is everyone's battery life? Mine dies like crazy overnight while it's just sitting next to my bed. Very lame.

And is there anyway to lock the home launcher in memory? I get redraws every now and then.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fivewall:
I highly recommend keeping any smartphone on the charger while you sleep.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dslider85:
Thanks!

This increased my quadrant from 990 to 1440! this rom is fast thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Great work so far. Got it flashed this am and it is running well. Just ran my first Quadrant on this build and got a 1575. Not to shabby I'd say for a Froyo build at stock speed.

Curious anyone using SetCPU and have Profile or the Advanced tab setup. If so what setting are you using it any and have you noticed any differences on battery life and the way the device functions.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
You shouldn't have to. What are your reasons exactly?

My battery shouldn't drop from 75% to 25% overnight.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fivewall:
I have always charged every smartphone I have when I sleep because I am using my phone all day. lol, it just makes sense. Your sleeping, you probably have an outlet by your nightstand, why would you not plug it in? IMHO this is the most obvious time to charge the phone - then I wake up with a fully charged phone to start my day.

I have no idea why your phone is dropping from 75% to 25% but it seems silly not to use a ROM. It could only help your battery life considering all the bloatware that comes loaded on the phone.

This phone gets what, 1000 on quadrant stock? This is what happens after you install the ROM:
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
1. I am still using the ROM, I never said that I wasn't.

2. I use my smart phone all day as well, it gets charged during the day.

3. Why would I charge my fully/nearly fully-charged battery overnight? I get worried about keeping rechargeable batteries on the charger after they reach their full-charge. I'm not sure what the definite risks are, but I don't like to do it. There's no point in plugging in a phone overnight if it's at 75%, it shouldn't drop past 70% just idling..

4. My phone is usually charged at the start of the day. I charge my batteries before I go to bed. Some times I'll throw a battery on the charger when I go to bed and then unplug it when I wake up to take a leak/get a glass of water in the middle of the night.

5. I have the Charge docking station that came with a spare battery. There is no need to leave my phone on the charger overnight.

6. I never had to leave my OG Droid on the charger overnight. If the phone was at 90% battery level, it wouldn't drop below 85% if it was just idling. The only times I noticed the battery drop overnight on the OG Droid was when a bunch of apps updated automatically.

Seriously, if my OG Droid was at 32% before I went to bed, I would wake up and it would be above 20% easily. And I thought that was kinda crappy and annoying, now look what I'm dealing with.

I'm just not sure if it's the ROM, an app, or what. It's not the display obviously!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Echo5Kilo:
Sorry to sound like a noob, but I'm coming from a D1 and I'm not used to the Samsung way of life. If I follow all the steps in the OP's original post, I'll be good to go for a permanent root with the ED2 update? I just downloaded the Altered Beast version 3 .rar.
[Verizon Droid Charge] brabe1979:
Battery won't charge without a reboot

Anyone expierenced an issue after running this rom where when you try and charge it tells you your battery is not supported? I have seen it twice now and been on the rom for 2 days. Using the included cord and stock battery. I am running setcpu and juice defender but am not sure what could cause this?? it works fine after I reboot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
ive never seen this but i wouldnt run juice defender or setcpu , JD messes with your your signal and im not sure about set cpu.
[Verizon Droid Charge] brabe1979:
Alright-I'll take those off and see if they might be the culprit-I noticed by battery temp increasing after I added setcpu so that may be part of the issue. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Glitch4583:
I think my DC might be screwed. I was running debloated and tried to switch over to this ROM. However, when I start up ODIN and run it on PDA, it starts writing the factoryfs.rfs for a while then dies. Now I get the soft reboot image. I try flashing another md5 and nothing works. I have an odd feeling i should've gone back to the .rfs file system before flashing but didn't see it in the instructions.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jdkzombie:
Dear sweet mother of god.....this looks badass!!!! i get my new charge this wed!!! cant wait to slap this on here. One question. Does BT work!? 40 mile commute everyday and BT helps me stay sane in my car. Coming from the fascinate im very familiar with using odin to fix boo boo's lol. also, are you using ADW launcher? it looks very clean. Wonder how long it will take before we haz OC kernels.... but im off topic. Cant wait to try this! hope your build finishes where you want it to be!
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
nah,

Close Odin ,

restart Odin

make sure battery is out during the entire process,

change usb ports to one in the back of the computer,

disable any antivirus

try again
[Verizon Droid Charge] Glitch4583:
Thanks, just had to switch from using my lappy to my desktop. Odd though since it's never been an issue before.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
Alpha 4 available at AC i will update here later tonight

http://forum.androidcentral.com/cha...east-alpha-v4-voodoo-cwm-ed2-root-w-demo.html

Change log: 5/31

themed quickpanel

themed swye

themed menu and popups

shutdown animation added

Please thank gunnermike53 for his hard work in themeing this he spent hours with me (poor guy) working on getting this done. If possible throw him a donation so he can get a charge and make themes for us.

If you are already running voodoo this may disable it on boot so listen to her voice, simply scroll to voodoo and select enable lagfix when you reach clockwork for the first time, after you hit enable lagfix you can reboot and it will convert again.​
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Checking that out in roughly 10 minutes, can't wait.
[Verizon Droid Charge] angry english:
Total noob question but.......

Where do i fond those dock icons? they look great, im on the standard launcher pro ones and they look drab compared, and how do you make the screen slide that way? if you know what i mean, sorry for the noobness but ive never done themed icons or anything so i have no clue :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Go Launcher. Mess around with it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] brabe1979:
Alpha 4 rocks! loving the theming
[Verizon Droid Charge] dslider85:
You cannot restore using CWM nor backup it bricks your phone. Hope you are in warranty to have it replaced. ( tell them it died while updating)
[Verizon Droid Charge] qubanaso:
man i hope we find a solution to this lol because well end up needing this as this device progresses :/
[Verizon Droid Charge] qubanaso:
ok so I rooted using this rom went through all the process it flashed to red cwm and wiped cached n dalvik bjut now when I try to go back tl cmw I cant ive used quick boot, droid OC, fast boot, and to make matters worse on the terminal emulator it says permission denied when attempting "SU"
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
Flash the rom again maybe...
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Currently using V4 with no issues so far. THanks again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] r00t beer:
V4 working great. One issue with the theme, the "more" settings has black text which is hard to read now:
[Verizon Droid Charge] Amir_Clark:
I downloaded ABeastA4_DXC.tar.rar. This is the latest Rom currently? And also, I want to flash this to mine...I'm still using the stock rom with ED2. I was wondering is there a way to go back to stock if i run into any problems.

Thanks all
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
yeah just use the ED1 downgrade Odin package then unroot it, thats stock.

and yes A4 is the latest

@root beer , yeah thats why its still alpha no worrys it will get fixed. thanks for the understanding :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Amir_Clark:
Ok, thanks for the quick reply and the help
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
Glad you love it, please consider donating to gunnermike he is the one doing the leg work for themeing this rom. If he gets enough donations he can get a charge and start making more themes :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Amir_Clark:
Well I just flashed my Droid Charge with A4, it only took it 3 minutes to flash it from the stock rom, so far, everything is working flawlessly and very smooth. and I got 1500 score on Quadrant Standard. Is it safe to remove the "Backup Assistant" and the "sync service" Dont really see the purpose of Verizon putting this on a Google phone, the contacts are saved to your gmail account.
[Verizon Droid Charge] brabe1979:
Is there any advantage to using this inconjunction with imnuts kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] vc66:
Anybody using this rom, alpha 3 version, that gets an error when trying to play mp3 files? I get,"this file is not supported"...

I'm using winamp, but same thing on the stock music player. Don't know if it's the rom or not.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Poloasis:
I'm about to upgrade to DroidXcon altered beast v4 but I would like to keep the swype unthemed. I've already backup the swype.apk in the system/app folder. Is there any other files I should backup before the upgrade?

Thanks guys.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chad253:
Working great

Super easy flash, rom is great! One minor gripe, the carbon fiber theme makes some apps pop up menus really hard to see due to the black text over the carbon pattern. Looking foforward to what you come up with next! Where do I donate?!
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
yeah im working on that. its kinda hard to catch everything as i dont have a charge to test things on. i am aware of the text color issue and it will be corredted in the next release.

any other suggestions or bug reports, PLEASE PLEASE post a screen shot of what you are talking about (no need to for the text color im aware of it), i can test these things my self so you will have to be my eyes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
backup assistant yes

sync service no, thats what syncs your gmail and contacts
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Anyone having an issue with My Verizon Mobile? I never tested it while on stock ED1 before flashing v3 and then v4. And atm it is not working on v4 for get the error but something about Login Client required.

As for donations I'll be on it ASAP. we getting you close or long way to go yet to get the funds for a Charge. Reason I ask is I'll press a few friends of mine who are going to grab a Charge and I'll see if I can get them to toss some funds to help the cause.
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
I'm at 140 and a charge cost about 500. I really appreciate all the effort you guys are making towards this.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Phlack:
Sick job guys! My only problem so far is that I have two alternating 4G icons in my status bar that keep switching.

Sent from my Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
I just sent some more your way Marlow BROugham :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] brabe1979:
Here are some screenshots of themeing issues. Notice the black text on secondary menus and then the double menus on other apps. Otherwise this thing is really shaping up nicely!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Amir_Clark:
Ok thanks!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chad253:
Donation sent! One thing that would be cool to add would be lock screen gestures, but I realize you probably have a lot more important stuff to worry about.
[Verizon Droid Charge] awdshenanigans:
downloaded v3 last night. time to donate to both of you, thanks!

p.s. i really really really would like to be able to wake the screen using the home button if its not too much of a hassle. if it is, PM me with how much you would want for your time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
that is a very very big project...and even one sbrissen didnt finish
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Yeah that would be a great feature to have built into the ROM. Kinda liek me always wondering why Android does not allow you pull the notification bar down while it is locked. Never made any sense to me. That said the way to beat it and have both features is to use WidgetLocker
[Verizon Droid Charge] awdshenanigans:
fixed that up for you :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
where that came from I have no idea....lol. Altho I was working on mulitple windows I must have alt tabbed and switched on accident. dam operator error I tell ya.....lol.
[Verizon Droid Charge] awdshenanigans:
When I flashed the rom, I didn't have to redo any settings or apps or anything. When I mentioned this in another forum, everyone **** the bed and said that I did something wrong. Should this have reset my phone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Only time you should have to reset everything is if you wipe/factory reset via recovery. That said no it shouldn't have reset your phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
let me translate this:

if sbrissen could do it, gunnermike sure as heck isnt gonna figure it out!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
and if sbrissen , gunnermike or nitsuj can't figure it out i dont have a snow balls chance in hell.

I think people think im a developer, which im not im super amature at best. Just so happens im resourceful an i have a get'er done attitude :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
hey anyone who spends their free time working on stuff for others without looking for anything in return certainly deserves kudos in my book

theres so much i dont know relative to other people but i try and learn more and more as i go....some people like sbrissen/jt/adryn just "get it" and thats great...i think adrynalyne was building aosp roms within a month of getting an android phone :cool:

but its fun to see roms/mods grow from their infancy into more and more complete products with every revision...and ive enjoyed watching the progress of this one

i know ac is your "home" droidxcon, but we are certainly glad to have you join on xda as well :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] awdshenanigans:
what music player is used in the screen shots?
