Re: rooting from stock ee4

You should be able to simply flash a rooted kernel (for eaxmple: [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1092114]) from odin, and you'll be rooted. After that you'll probalby also want to flash CWM recovery.

Update: changed link to point to a kernel with instructions using odin, rather than one requiring CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ballanda123:
Thanks for the suggestion. No luck with that. I tried with/without USB debugging enabled, with/without the SD card fix that I know I shouldn't need anyway. The best I could get was for the SD card to mount as a read-onlt CD drive. Oh well. I still love this ROM regardless, even if I have to email myself files for the SD card.

How did you get a screenshot? every time i try, it pops out of the screen when i press back. >_<
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
You have to use a screenshot app for some applications or that happens.

Is there any reason I wouldn't want a Voodoo Lagfix enabled kernel running my phone? A few days ago, Kejar was saying to just flash imnuts kernel with no Voodoo. Is it safe to use a lagfix kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
I'm running 1.5 with Imnuts voodoo kernel and lagfix and not having an issue at all.

Must say battery life is rockin atm on this ROM and kernel setup I have. Been busy today so its been light data usage besides my Pandora for about an hr this am as well as a few emails and 3 calls averaging about 15mins each. Few txt msgs also inbetween as well as some Twitter. That said I'm sitting at 59% after 10hrs 56mins

Edit: Oh yeah not in an LTE area either and I have not shut off LTE just letting it do its thing today. I know as soon as I leave the office and get about 2 miles down the road LTE will be back

Contacts not syncing

I am having troubling syncing my gmail contacts. Anybody else experiencing problems?
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
It looks like Visual Voicemail is not included in GC1.5. I have a .zip file that imnuts provided for his Debloated ROM, it has the meta info along with the VisualVoiceMail.apk and VVMService.apk files. I attached the file to see if this is what I need to restore VVM in GC 1.5.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stang68x:
Hmm...I just flashed VoodooEnabled.zip in CWM and it didn't do it via the initial bootup so I booted back into CWM and it isn't letting me enable it. When I try it still says Next Bootup: Disabled.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
I only said that to limit the difficulty of the instructions for upgrading to EE4.. I said if you want to enable lagfix you can do it at a later date and time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ColonelSeitan:
And successfully made my way to GC1.5 :D

For my first rooting experience, I didn't run into any bootloops or issues! (totally in awe, I was so utterly anxious and fearful that I would destroy my phone)

Just sent a few bucks your way kejar :) thanks so much! will let you know if I spot any issues

Edit: Also, my system went from 800 and something in Quadrant to 1627 :)!!

setCPU q

I tried running that last week, but started to have random reboots.

You are running setCPU with no issues? on GC1.5?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ColonelSeitan:
Not sure if this is at all helpful, but I couldn't get my comp to recognize my phone for transferring the exchange hotfix a few mins ago, I tried plugging and unplugging but no luck, then I set the USB Settings to "Ask on connection" and then whenever I plugged in, I was able to tell it I wanted to mount it as a storage device. Good luck
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
No problems for me syncing

Its a bug with CWM voodoo detection. If that isn't the case, it could be the SDCard problem, run the adb commands in the first post of my recovery thread and see if that fixes your issue.

You can do 4 things with SetCPU:

1. Adjust the Min/Max frequency the CPU will go to

2. Change the CPU Scheduler

3. Look at kernel/system info

4. Run various benchmarks/stress tests
[Verizon Droid Charge] got_rice64:
I know what setCPU can do, but i'm wondering if anyone else is having random reboots from using it.

Regardless, I'll try to install it again. I'll let you guys know if i have any issues again.

What kernel can I flash to this? As far as I can see there is no kernel or kernel compatability listed with this rom...
[Verizon Droid Charge] stang68x:
Well that looks like a PITA, not owning a Windows machine. There's gotta be an easier way to enable Lagfix. It didn't enable via the CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
Kejar any chance of using the CM mail client or another that can sync sub-folders in future version?

Loving this rom so far otherwise.

Thanks for all your hard work
[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
Did you previously disable lag fix to install this rom? If so make sure you deleted the "disable-lagfix" file in the voodoo folder. Otherwise all you should need to do is flash a voodoo kernel in CWM and you're set.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ColonelSeitan:
I saw someone say on another site that you can check if your lagfix is working by just typing mount in terminal emulator, and seeing if it says ext4 after the folder names. Does that sound correct? Cause mine says lagfix disabled, after reboot disabled, but when I entered mount into terminal it did say ext4....
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
I was until I actually loaded up gmail.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
It's enabled, then. The reporting in Clockwork is iffy.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
Don't use profiles, they won't work. It's a Samsung SGS phone problem.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
SetCPU can do more than that, those are the 4 things you can use it for on the Charge (and any of the SGS Phones) without causing problems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
Kejar, I was wondering if the gallery in this rom has the battery draining bug? Coming from a samsung captivate I know that damn gallery was a pain in the butt. I checked my spare parts and noticed that the sensor usage for the gallery was through the roof. 10h of uptime for the phone and the sensor usage for the gallery was 8h 35min. That is why I ask, please and thank you.

I have the same issue.

Started with ED1 (odin)

Installed EE4 OTA update

Cleared Data, Cache, Formated SD

Booted

Installed jt1134 Voodo Kernal and CWM

Booted

Now everytime I start USB Storage... it makes it a CD/drive with read only permisssions? I cannot copy anything to it.... so I cannot intstall this ROM?

Any suggestions on why it goes into CD read only connection?

Never seen this before?

PLEASE Help

After installing Alterd Beast ROM.... everything is okay. I can now enable and disable vodoo (which I could not before) and the USB mounts as a external drive .... no issues.

How is everyone's battery life with this rom? After 4 hours of idle my phone has dropped 15% that is definitely not normal perhaps I need a reflash?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ColonelSeitan:
I had Launcher Pro force close twice in a row last night when I tried to flip between homescreens(froze halfway both times). Not sure what this would be related to.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Yes that will do the trick. i installed the same file after flashing GC 1.5 and have had no issues

Just don't use Profiles. i did for a bit and had it reboot a couple of times. Once disabled all was good to go. FYI I did notice on profiles as long as you don't clock anything under 400Mhz they seem to work okay without a reboot. But once you try setting anything to 100 or 200Mhz it will reboot from time to time.

Mine is great so far. Was somewhat light usage yesterday beside a few of calls around 10mins each, 2+hrs or Pandora, and a bunch of tweets/IM's & txt msgs. That said I finally hit 5% left after 17hrs. Oh and I left it on LTE all day even tho LTE is not in the area at my office.
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
I am running launcher pro, I have had no such issues. So most likely not the rom. Try resetting launcher pro, or go to applications and clear data.

Yes I have. Also stopped the SDCard from auto-mounting when plugging your phone into your computer. Will send the fixes to kejar then :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] zeuswsu:
Sweet! I really appreciate the work you two are doing. Your PBJ Kernal with Kejar's room is the perfect combo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] breaker911:
This may have been answered before so I hope this is not populating this thread with junk but, if I install this form via CWM will this also install root. i.e. is this rom rooted? Do I need to do something else to get rooted?
[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
Is the cal in this ROM actually white or is something messed up on my phone? Seems really out of character vs the rest of the ROM.

Also, I am consistently getting acore errors anytime I try to delete a contact. Is anyone else seeing this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Yeah, I'm running into the same issue when attempting to delete a contact.

EDIT: What do you mean by "cal" ? I ran into an issue where some text was white and I could barely read it.. For whatever reason, I didn't take note of the menu/application I was in at the time.

But I definitely ran into an issue with white text within a menu.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
Finally got GC 1.5 installed yesterday, running for about 24 hours now with PBJ Kernel, running great. I noticed a few things missing from the ROM that would normally be in it, like Flash, Google Maps, etc. Did these get removed and if so doe anyone have the zip files so I can put them back into the System folder?
[Verizon Droid Charge] brabe1979:
You can just grab them from the market.

[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Alot of people ask me that...

All you have to do is run a quadrant and have your score pop up... then hit the home button closing out of the program.

While on your main desktop launcher just hold down the back button

then while holding down on the back button enter quadrant, your score will still be there...

just hit the home button whenever you are ready to take your screen shot... that simple
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
I am running Gummy 1.5 with the Peanut butter jelly time kernel with absolutely no problems... not even 1. No reboots, no syncying issues... nothing. I run set cpu just fine too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
4 hours with a 15% drop at "idle"... That's not terribly bad bubba. Considering what is going on in the background? Cell phones don't have 160 hour stand by times any longer... these cpu's eat the juice.

What do you have running and updating in the background? turning of Wifi when only using 3G? Turning off 4G when not using it? Blu-tooth connecting to a car or headset? How many processes are running simultaneously in the back ground? (hint) its more than what you can see on settings>applications>running services

Extremely rough extrapolation of battery use:

4 hours = 15% drop

8 hours = 30% drop

12 hours = 45% drop

16 hours = 60% drop

20 hours = 75% drop

24 hours = 90% drop

What do you guys think? I don't think battery life is that bad on this rom...
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
No I was not even aware of a batter drain bug in the calendar...

I will keep an eye on it though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] addictedhacks:
Danolo, Do you use set cpu to just underclock?
[Verizon Droid Charge] spongers:
My battery life isn't great either, I would say a tad worse than it was when stock....I also notice the battery meter isn't accurate. It says 55% in it, but looks 2/3-3/4 full.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
I'm with you on this one. I don't see 15% drop in 4 hrs very bad at all. And as you said these new phones these days eat battery life for breakfast lunch and dinner.

And as a small example for myself yesterday I got 17hrs out of mine and it finally hit 7% before I went to bed. During the day was lighter usage tho except for about 2hrs of Pandora streaming on my drives. Once home I was on on gtalk & tweet alot tho which isn't a killer besides the screen being on so long. Oh and I never turned LTE off either even tho I know at work and a few others places LTE is not live yet but I let the device just do its thing. And just cheking my device now I'm at 53% and it been unplugged since 5:30am ( 11hrs ago) and I stream Pandora again, installed a few *.zips via CWR...etc. that all said I'm not complaining at all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
Besides the normal stuff running in the background I can assure you nothing else is running in the background. don't use bluetooth and all my apps widgets that auto refresh do so at high intervals. Running stock I was getting 24-36 hours with moderate use. Now I get 10. This isn't my first smart phone either bubba, my captivate running firefly 3.0 only had a 1% battery drain while idle. I know lte drains more battery especially if the radio is constantly on in areas with little to no 4g. I was just asking what others thought of their battery life as that seemed to high for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Man if you were able to get 24-36 hrs out of stock you are dam lucky that is for sure. I've yet to see ANY LTE device come anywhere close to that length of time on one charge. That said I can see why you are questioning the battery life tho.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
Be nice - from your original post of 15% in 4 hours, it would be over a day before you're drained. Now you're saying it's 10 hours, but he didn't have any way of knowing that.

Anyways, mine has been pretty comparable to my original Droid. I haven't analyzed it too closely, though, but I seem to get around a day out of it. It will be almost drained if I forget to plug it in. Of course, if I spend a lot of time on Slacker or reading (especially in bright areas where I need high brightness) on it, it varies.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
I've said nothing wrong. The 15% in four hours was while idle, 10 hours with use.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
It is the gallery not calender. I believe what happens is that it keeps using the sensor even after it is closed. If spare parts is correct it can be easily tested. Restart phone, open up gallery, exit, then monitor the sensor usage in spare parts.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dobo84:

so upon further inspection i am having an overall syncing issue, mainly with contacts that arent stored with google. the whole rom is working so perfect and is super stable and great with battery. i just have this one little issue.

I installed the gummycharge last night and really liking this rom. They only issues I am having are the following:

WIFI seems to disconnect after 2 minutes of use

My battery is draining really fast compared to my old setup. Before I was draining at 5 - 8 % an hour on idle. now its 17 - 20%.

Anything I can do to help the battery draining issue? I read somewhere that it could probably be the gallery battery drain. Is this true?
[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
Do you have a Voodoo folder on your SD card?

Also, it seems that CWM isn't always an accurate way to tell if lagfix is in place. Open a terminal and type "mount". Starting on the 3rd or 4th line you should see entries like /dev/block/... if those lines contain "ext4" you have lagfix enabled.

If you don't see EXT4, ensure that you grabbed the voodoo version of the kernel (there is a novoodoo version) and try reapplying.

Yep. I talked to Kejar about it a few pages back. Said it's fixed in his current dev build.
