[Verizon Droid Charge] DawgPoundMBA:
Hi guys - Great website. I love the amount of information being exchanged here. I am new to the rooting environment, but I am not new to IT. I have an IT career, some entry level programming, SQL scripting, and have modded playstations and xboxes previously so I should be able to follow much of the technical talk.

I just purchased a Samsung Charge and have completed the one click root and have confirmed that I have root on ED1. So my questions are (please link to thread if answered elsewhere):

How do I determine which mod/rom is the best and safest to use? Gummy, Altered beast, etc?

Are any gingerbread based mods out or are they all froyo based for the Charge? What is the newest out and is there a projected release schedule?

How do I get the wireless hot stop working for free once I am rooted? Do I have to install a ROM?

Is the Odin application the best way to update the ROMs?

Is the ROM the OS update and the kernel the BIOS update?

It looks like there is an issue doing backups with Charge Mods, so how do I backup my phone? (it looks like the ability to backup has been removed from some mods)

So I am rooted. What are the next steps I need to follow: 1) Backup (how) 2) install new OS ROM????

Thanks for your time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
Welcome, you seem like a prime candidate for this adventure!

Pretty much just by reading their threads and seeing what issues people are having. That being said, the Charge ROMs are all pretty new, so safest is to just find a rooted version of stock, which you seem to have accomplished. The other ROMs are trying to improve on things by doing things such as "debloating" (removing useless stuff added by Verizon), etc., but this can have unintended consequences. For instance, with Altered Beast, you'll see he released fixed versions of stock apps which broke.

They're all Froyo for now. I'd guess a Gingerbread version will be out within the next month or so, depending on how many devs are working on it. I think Gummy is slightly newer than Altered Beast, but that could change any second. Actually, the newest at this moment is the OTA (Over The Air) release from Verizon last night, EE4.

You just need to install an app. Search the market, or search the forums for what others are using. They're getting a little more difficult to find as Verizon has started blocking some of them from their version of the market.

Right now it seems to be. Though once you use that and have CWM (ClockWork Mod) installed, you might be able to update using CWM. Still a little early to tell.

Pretty close. ROM, as we usually use the term, refers to the Boot ROM, which is the first code run, and essentially the O/S, though some ROMs aren't a complete replacement for all of it. The kernel isn't quite as equivalent, but that's true to the extent that it handles communication between the software and the hardware.

There's an issue with doing backups through CWM, but you can still use something like Titanium Backup. What do you want to backup? If it's just your software, settings, etc., that should be fine.

1) Use alternate software, such as Titanium Backup. 2) Use ODIN for now.

You're welcome!
[Verizon Droid Charge] psalm462:
I have the ED1 versions rooted with gingerbreak and used root explorer to change the script from ED1 to ED2. Everything is working good and launcher pro is making it look better, but is it safe to load altered beast or other roms using Odin or will it mess it up? I would like to get CWM on it to go straight into bootloader like I did with the Incredible.
[Verizon Droid Charge] morkon:
The kernel shouldn't be related to a BIOS in a PC, that would be your bootloader. A kernel is part of an Operating system. Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X all have kernels. The kernel, as I understand it, is sort of like the middle man between the software you "see" and the hardware. Drivers are a core part of a kernel, but aren't the only thing in the kernel. A ROM, is the OS, as a kernel is included in any ROM. The ROM will consist of the applications included, be it themed applications or custom built ones, and a kernel.

Keep in mind this is a large generalization of the whole subject, but I think its a good overview.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
You can use Odin to install Altered Beast and you'll be fine. you might want to wait a couple of days to see what happens with this EE4 release, though.

morkon - good description of the kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
not to be a downer, but i wouldnt put any eta's on anything gingerbread related...my overly optimistic guess (based on no inside knowledge) for anything official would be late august...but knowing the vzw/samsung combo (regardless of the droid branding) #gingergate could be on until late Fall/Christmas :o
[Verizon Droid Charge] DawgPoundMBA:
Thank you for the information. I will check it out in more detail when I get home from work. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
I wouldn't really expect an official Samsung Gingerbread ROM until next year. They are incredibly slow. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see an unofficial version well before then.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Incredibly slow, yet the DROID Charge just received it's 2nd OTA update in 1 month from release, and the Fascinate just got it's 6th/7th OTA update in the past 8 months as well, and as far as I know, the international SGS has had a similar number of updates come out for it as well. The problem isn't Samsung producing the updates (anymore), it's getting the carriers test them and submit feedback in a timely manner.

Given that the SGS line is getting Gingerbread over the summer from most reports I've read, I'd expect the Charge to get Gingerbread sometime late summer/fall, as well as the rest of the US lineup of SGS phones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] psalm462:
OK, thanks! I have only had it a day and I have not played with ODIN, so it scares me to death. I can say that with one day of trying it, the GPS is horrible! It had me over 2 miles off.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DawgPoundMBA:
I am not sure why the below happened, but I did soft brick. I restarted the whole process and it is moving along now so please disregard.

Question. I am using Odin to install alteredbeast. I held down the volume key until after i clicked start on the ROM. It has been working for about 5 minutes and on my phone i can see a downloading icon with a "AX_TIMEOUT" in red in the top left. Did I screw up?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
You only have to hold the down volume button for a few seconds, until you get to the yellow downloading screen. Im not sure if that has an effect, but I'd start over. Turn off any antivirus, plug in to your rear USB ports, and try again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
They're doing well on the bugfixes, I'll give them that. But with how long we waited for updates for my wife's Epic, I'm not super keen on Samsung's update schedule. They ranked last on the list of manufacturers updating to newer versions of software. That being said, I'm hoping with this as their Verizon flagship they'll stay on top of it.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtfm1777:
OK, so I'm very proud of myself for having learned how to root my GTWiFi. I've removed annoying corporate bloatware apks. Freed up a couple MBs of dex space. Added File Manager, backed up with Titanium. At least I feel like I'm starting to own the box. So what now? I'm reading about system enhancements to speed it up but I'm sceptical.

SetCPU? Sounds good. Maybe at the expense of shorter battery life?

Moving cache data to the SD card: Is this just freeing up internal memory space, or is it assuming the sd card is faster?

Oneclicklagfix? Something about a virtual filesystem buffer to reduce disk i/o?

Especially with the P1010's downgraded hardware I'm not expecting miracles. Just wondering what's hype and what really will improve performance.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Razor1973:
Can someone clarify this for me or provide a link where I can read up on this topic?

I currently have a dual-boot system with MAGLDR bootloader, WP7 on NAND and several Android ROMs running from SD. Now, if you look at the MAGLDR menu, the first 3 options are:

1. Boot WHP

2. Boot AD SD

3. Boot AD NAND

Options 1 and 2 are clear enough. However, the fact that there's an option to boot Android from NAND (option 3) makes me think you could have both WP7 and Android on NAND. Is this true? And if it isn't and you can have only one, why not just have a Boot NAND option to have whichever OS is there boot up?

ADDITIONAL QUESTION on the first post of page 2. Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elgrego4:
Maybe it boots in a specific way for wp7 and android. Also there is not enough space on nand for both.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
Because you can set MAGLDR to not autoboot an OS, but to load at the MAGLDR screen. So if you had Android on the nand and selected boot whp, you wouldn't get anywhere, hence the boot ad nand option.

This belongs in Q & A anyhow.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Razor1973:
Ah, so the answer is NO, you

cannot

have both OS's on NAND. Thanks.

I have another question related to this and, instead of starting a brand new thread, I figured I'd resurrect this thread of mine from a week ago in order to avoid clutter.

So I now know I cannot have both WP7 and Android on NAND. How about having an Android ROM on NAND and one or more Android ROM's on SD? I currently have several Android ROM's on SD and WP7 on NAND, but wonder if I can still have a dual- (tri-, quad-, ...) boot system even if it's all Android, one ROM on NAND and the rest on SD.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] soapbox23:
Yes you can have all Android all the time if that's what tickles your pickle. Same process as dual booting WP7 (minus the stupid SD card formatting WP7 does). I'm assuming you'll still have to partition your SD card for each build, only this time all of them will be fat32.

hi,

i did a firmware reset and now i cant access my old google account anymore. i know the email / pwd to log in but it doesnt work. i even tried to do the recovery thing from google but when i enter the email google says that email account doesnt exist!? i signed my google account up thru the android first startup thingy wizard and selected my email and im 90% sure i got the correct one. i never used it outside of my smartphone it just sat in the background all the time.

so i got a full titanium backup pro backup and a full CWM backup on my hdd. is there anywhere in the .properties files where i can check my old login credentials?

any other methods of reclaiming my google account?

i got paid apps and a registered CC on there.

Is CWM always included in custom roms?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
Not always, but they would state if they do or dont. From what I've seen here on the sgs2 forums, it looks like cwm is included.

The big question is, have you rooted your phone? because unless your phone is rooted, you cant back it up via recovery/cwm.

To root, follow the directions in the FIRST post of this thread.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

it will root your phone, and install cwm recovery, and a cwm app (which has similar functions to rom manager) that is fully compatible with the sgs2.

I suggest trying a different cable, I know they're hard to find but it wouldn't be the first time I saw a bad one. If that doesn't work it could very well be the phone, since I see someone else has this issue that would suck though.

Hey guys, instead of trying to describe my problem I'll just post this brief report.

Product:

Archos 101 - 16gb

OS:

Urukdroid

Build:

1.0

Firmware:

2.1.8

pre-conditions:

Before installing urukdroid I completely formated the hdd; Urukdroid is installed in the internal storage.

Expected result:

After the power button is pressed the tablet should wake up properly.

Actual Result:

I need to press the power button several times making the screen blink a couple of times. Every now and then I cant wake it up at all. However, after holding the power button for a few seconds the screen blinks for a brief moment before turning itself off.

- This error is not reproducible when Im using the stock ROM or Chulri's method.

One more question: If im using Urukdroid 1.0 am I stuck with firmware 2.1.8? Is it possible to update to the latest firmware?

Thanks guys!
