easier than expected

This is my first Android phone and my first foray into custom roms/kernel etc.

I just wanted to report that after a few hours of forum research I downloaded all the tools/roms/kernels and successfully installed everything I wanted!

It was so much easier than I expected. In case any other noobs are hesitantly waiting to pull the trigger, here is my high-level step by step.

1. Research, Research, Research!

2. Get the kernal (and probably rom) you want, load the zips on the sccard

3. Flash CWR with Odin (PDA & no autoreboot!), disconnect from pc

4. Boot into cwr, install the kernel zip, install the rom zip, and then reboot

5. Enjoy setting up your phone again,

Of course there is more involved with each step, and you should do your research to make sure you understand what you're doing. I just wanted to assure other noobs that this is much easier than it seems, you just have to do some reading.

The only "hiccup" encountered was getting my contacts back. Apparently backup assistant only backs up to verizon, not your gmail. This is probably because I saved them to my phone instead of gmail or sim card. If you did this, don't worry, backup assistant should put them on verizon, which allows csv export, which you can import to gmail, which gets pulled back down to your phone!

Anyway, thanks to imnuts and kejar you guys are awesome!!

I wanted to second this post, updating Go SMS did make my phone start freezing up hard, and once I removed the app the phone's gone back to its previous state.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kamar234:
Kejar, are you planning on fixing the broken facebook syncing? It only syncs the pics with the first few contacts. That can be fixed through the facebook market app, but the calender sync is only available through the system app.
[Verizon Droid Charge] triton302:
Seems like Kejar ditched the EE4 version in favor of GB.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mr Grim xX:
Worked great.

Rooted with the AlteredBeast tutorial and files, the flashed this rom...

Getting great battery life and everything seem to be working perfect, no problems here, and took less than 25 min total.
[Verizon Droid Charge] deadwolfbones:
One thing I've noticed lately is that when navigating the applications list in the settings menu, this ROM/phone is very slow to load the application icons, and also slow to load the application screen when I tap on one in the list. Often the screen pauses after tapping an app in the list, or blacks out for a few seconds before transitioning to the app-specific screen (where I can force close, etc). Is this just a fact of life with the Charge in general, or specific to GummyCharged?
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Its the rom.. none of the other rims do this.. so far humble 1.35 is the best* I have tried all the roms on xda and that is the one I stuck with.
[Verizon Droid Charge] deadwolfbones:
The only other issue I've really got at the moment is an intermittent issue playing audio over bluetooth. Every few seconds the audio "skips" or in more severe cases pauses for a second or so. This happens both with streaming audio and with local (sd card) content. It doesn't happen every time I play audio over BT, but it does more often than not, and it's very annoying when it does.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dredin:
wifi

I'm pretty happy with this, runs very nicely. I can't seem to connect to wifi though? It seems to just be stuck on "Obtaining IP address from....", it keeps attempting, just doesn't connect. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

The wifi network is definitely working BTW - I'm posting this over it now.

EDITED: I may have a max devices on home wifi - I connected to my work network with no problems.

Restarting the phone every 1-3 days

Hi, I'm not sure if this has been discussed or if others are having this problem and maybe can help me find a solution. I am still on the Gummycharged 1.8.1, and it seems like I have problems with talking on the phone itself if I don't restart the phone every 3 days. If I don't restart every 1-3 days, in the middle of a call, it will either start clicking or emit a high pitched squeal. Last night I had that happened, and I restarted the phone and it fixed it. Is everyone having to restart their phone every 1 to 3 days, or is it just mine? Is this is a software or hardware issue? Thanks for any input.

[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
GummyCharged 1.9 is now available See the OP for details.....
[Verizon Droid Charge] GoBlue13:
Awesome! Thanks for all the work you put into doing this.

Sent from my Droid Charge!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] lolminraise:
Sexy 1.9! Works great!
[Verizon Droid Charge] randywintle:
Assuming there is no wipe needed if currently running 1.8.5?

What about disabling voodoo to flash?

Just making sure :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Echo5Kilo:
I was running 1.8.1 and with voodoo enabled. I flashed WITHOUT wiping or disabling voodoo. Everything is running great.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
No need to dissable the lag fix to flash this
[Verizon Droid Charge] randywintle:
Thanks guys.

Flashed from 1.8.5 with PBJ kernel with voodoo enabled.

Everything working so far, love the new design.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Updated the second post to include screenshots of the new Gummythemes
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellisz:
Tried to search but does the BT dialer still work or can it be added back easily? Humble did not have it I don't think.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
What is the BT dialer?
[Verizon Droid Charge] deadwolfbones:
Thanks, Kejar!
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
Is there any way you could post the original, unthemed Google Talk apk? I prefer the white and light blue theme of the default Talk app. Otherwise, I love this rom, and hope you continue your great work in GB and any official releases of it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] studioleland:
Hey guys, noob here running stock. If i use Odin to flash 1.0 I should be able to then use Recovery boot to flash 1.5 correct? Or is there something I missed in previously read 10k pages of xda posts :)

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
LOL wrong thread.. I think you are talking about GummyCharged GBE

Eitherway, yes if you Odin to 1.0 you can then use CWM to flash to 1.5
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Here you go... This is a flash-able zip, so install it via CWM
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
I love you. This is the only thing that was keeping me from using Gummy (as silly as it sounds). I'm on board now!
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
I didn't test that but there is no reason it shouldn't work as I pulled it right from the Bloated EE4 deodexed Build.

Let me know eitherway
[Verizon Droid Charge] studioleland:
Crap you're right. Too many threads too many posts. What is the fastest way to go from my stock Charge to this EE4 rom? I wanted to try this first before I jump to the GB version. Although the GTalk video looks like its more stable on GB. Hmm... Thanks for the quick response.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellisz:
Allows voice commands from bluetooth. I might have called it by the wrong name. I reverted to stock EE4 last night and saw that there are Bluetooth voice commands available but when I was on humble, it did not work. When I was on the Fascinate, BT commands(Nuance) was always removed ;)

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
Worked like a charm. Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows how to create CWR flashable zips like the one you just made? And would this zip work in any rom? I'd like to know because often I come across theming in certain apks that I don't like (no offense of course) and would like a way to change it back to stock like this.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
On 1.8 do I need to wipe for this? I noticed you said 1.8.1 and 1.85
[Verizon Droid Charge] breaker911:
Is there any way to get the puzzle lock screen with 1.9?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
+1
[Verizon Droid Charge] diabolik711:
More Lockscreen options

Great ROM! Can you start adding more lockscreens like MIUI etc?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
Anyone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
No, you should be good.... But if you encounter issues I would then suggest a data wipe
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Oh god you puzzle people :P lol just kidding yea I just posted it in the OP under the addons section
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
you sir are the man!
[Verizon Droid Charge] zeuswsu:
Does anyone know if the honeycomb (gummycomb) theme is included in the toolbox?
[Verizon Droid Charge] deadwolfbones:
I used this guide when I got mine (went straight to Gummy 1.8.5): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122657
[Verizon Droid Charge] Goronok:
Out of curiosity, which version do you run on your phone? EE4 or EP1F?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
ATM FE but that could change any time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tucknology:
What is FE?

Hi kejar, thanks for the awesome ROM. I'm currently using Humble 1.4 but I like your themes better and I'm thinking about trying this one out.

I understand EE4 and EP1F, but what is FE?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
FE just stands for Froyo Edition....
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
Edit: I was wrong in decoding FE. I'm glad Gummy will continue to live.
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Same here, I was thinking this is was "Final Edition" :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
LOL you guys are funny..

Added the FE to help differentiate the differences between this version and the GBE
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
An option to remove the AM / PM from the clock is now included in the OP under addons

[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
kejar31, are you aware of the theming inconsistencies in the AOSP lockscreen? Specifically, when receiving a phone call, the answer and reject sliders don't turn green or red (or lighter gray) when pressed and dragged. There's a very big color disparity between the slider button and the actual slider.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GrainOsand:
Awsome rom bro,

Ever give any thought to adding TSM Parts to your rom? I came from fascinate and sbrissen's lockscreen mods are sick!
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Hah. That's exactly what I read it as.
[Verizon Droid Charge] omnia38:
Just flashed 1.9. Everything looks goods so far, I will check back in if I come across any problems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellisz:
Anyone use bluetooth with this rom? Just like to be handsfree in the car. Cab you activate voice commands from the BT to the phone? Humble would not.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
Yea, another would be the 4G icon, when data is being used, it becomes white, i thought it used to be green?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
ODIN image now available for GummyCharged 1.9 includes imnuts OTB kernel and working Blue CWR + EE4 radios and of course GummyCharged 1.9
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
4g icon is fine.. if it is white it just means that you are either dormant or not logged into googles servers for one reason or another
[Verizon Droid Charge] got_rice64:
Blue cwr? ?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Goronok:
Wondering the same
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tucknology:
Different versions of CWR use different font colors. This is useful in determining which version you've got. The latest version has blue text.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
That's strange, it seems like to me it is turning white (4G icon and arrows are both white) when it isn't dormant (actively receiving data). For example, if I stream a Flash video, the icon and arrows become white and stay white until I stop the stream.

When dormant for me, the 4G icon is green and the arrows are gray.

Not a big deal though...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Goronok:
Kejar - would you consider adding the comb theme as a possible option for this rom via toolbox ? I love the look of that theme.
[Verizon Droid Charge] studioleland:
This is fantastic!
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
My dev partner says the 4g icon id screwed up.. will look into it later when I have time
[Verizon Droid Charge] daschnaggle:
Guess I'll post this here too since this site probably gets more attention.

Alright, so this will be the first ROM I've installed, I've gotten as far as installing a the VoodooChargeKernel4 from JT's thread over my stock EE4 and I didn't factory reset for that, and I haven't even downloaded CWR yet. Where do I need to go from here? If I can just download that latest pack and install the Blue CWR and GummyCharged 1.9 in that order without messing with the kernel at all, then that would be awesome, but I have a feeling it wouldn't be that easy. I guess I could also find a different CWR and just download the stand-alone GummyCharged 1.9. Either way, do I have to replace my kernel, if so how/with what, and either way after that, do I have to factory reset before installing GummyCharged? If you could also specify which situations I need to disable the Voodoo lag fix in that would be awesome as well. Thanks for any help! Very interested, but just learning all this. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] metalb00:
i love the rom cept the hoops i have to jump through to get the music app to work w google music
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I just want to make extra sure on this. I'm on GC1.85 currently. I can literally just update to GC1.9 without disabling lagfix, and simply update the GC1.9 zip file from CWR without having to wipe cache, delvik cache, or factory/reset?

I am currently on the Gummy Blue theme via the Gummytookbox if that matters...

LOL, I just got on 1.85 a couple days ago and spent an entire day customizing my phone, and now 1.9 is out! :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] tml478:
Yes sir.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sixstrings78:
Its being reported that alot charge owners are experiencing this...(rooted and non rooted) . But it is THE MOST aggravating issue on this phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sixstrings78:
Sorry this was answer to the post about the squealing and clicking sound during calls.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
I flashed this rom, I came from 2.3.4 Nameless. I flashed back to ee4 stock using imnuts pit file. Then I flashed this rom. I am experiancing issues such as my home button doesn't work. Can anyone shed light on this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] deadwolfbones:
1.9 is running super smooth for me, kejar!

One request, though... would it be possible to get the old style pull-down buttons back? I actually really liked having the text on them because sometimes I'm not sure the button got pressed when it takes a few seconds for the icon color to change. The text always changed instantly ("off"/"on").
[Verizon Droid Charge] dhp106:
This happened to me once. Try flashing back to ee4. Load it up stock and see if the home button works prior to rooting. Then really flash this.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
I just posted a fix for the 4g Icon... See the OP
[Verizon Droid Charge] tml478:
I was wondering maybe in the next theme update you could make the contact icon match the rest gummy theme? I use the Tw4.5 launcher and the contact icon just always looks out of place. Thanks so much for the hard work!
[Verizon Droid Charge] MasterRy88:
yay I love that you dont have to factory reset if you are already on gummycharged, I hate factory resetting
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Humm not sure I can do much about a base issue with the EE4 OTA and radio
[Verizon Droid Charge] Happy!:
Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!

Excellent job!
[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
I came from Ginger Gummy and installed the odin for 1.9...did a full erase....

I didn't hear the "women's" voice talk about partition...

when I went into recovery>voodoo..it says that voodoo is disabled and system is off...I can not get voodoo lagfix enabled...

what did I do wrong...or what should I do?

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] phillthedrill:
Hey kejar31, I was wondering if you might know any information about this problem. I am still on the Gummycharged 1.8.1 with 0602 PeanutButta Jelly kernel, and it seems like I have problems with talking on the phone itself if I don't restart the phone every 3 days. If I don't restart every 1-3 days, in the middle of a call, it will either start clicking or emit a high pitched squeal, or the other person just stops hearing me talk. If I hang up and dial anyone else at all, it will just click click click or sit there and squeal or no one can hear me. The other night I had that happened, and I restarted the phone, that fixed it for about a day until it did it again. Is everyone having to restart their phone every 1 to 3 days, or is it just mine? Is this is a software or hardware issue? Thanks for any input.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Not sure what happened

Try installing the kernel again... just download the latest imnuts pb&j voodoo kernel... after installing do a reboot and see if the voice come on
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Not sure what is going on there tbh
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
The CWM with this version is CWM 4.0.0.8. Voodoo works best with 4.0.0.1. I just ran into the same thing testing. Just DL PB&J, flash using CWM and you should be fine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
worked like a charm!!!

THANKS
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:

just glad you got it going

Sorry for the noobish questiin but im gettinf my charge tomorrow. Do i flash the odin image first then boot into recovery and flash 1.9?

Just use the Odin image and it will install everything you nee.. Custom kernel with lagfix, CWM and the latest GummyCharged
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
Can anyone get this to work with gummy 1.9? it is the lloyd battery mod that was made by danalo. Please and thank you.

Edit: When I install it I can't access the power menu and it reboots. I don't know how to modify these files yet so that is why I ask, thanks

Oh sweet. Thanks dude. So I don't even need to flash from CWRM? That's pretty awesome. I asked this earlier but is the PB&J OTB kernel the only OC/UV kernel available for the charge as of now?
[Verizon Droid Charge] deadwolfbones:
Yeah, they did.

There seems to be two.

Nevermind I see it... Will see what I can do, although this is defiantly not a priority!
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
For sure - theming is probably the last thing I'd work on too. I hardly see the lockscreen and task manager anyway. Keep up the good work, fine sir. Hope to see great things in 2.0!
[Verizon Droid Charge] corys00:
Got my Droid Charge today, loaded up this rom and damn is it buttery smoooooth!

Hope the future upgrades are no wipe flashes!
[Verizon Droid Charge] got_rice64:
So what's the general consensus on battery life?

Everything on, no wi-fi or 3G, 4G only, moderate usage, unplugged in the morning

5%/hour?

I thought I remembered GC being able to 2-3%/hour?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dhp106:
Flash cwm

Install voodoo from sd(through cwm)

Boot once (female voice thing)

Install gummy from sd
[Verizon Droid Charge] bobthesalesclerk:
I thought i could just flash the entire package in odin.

Just for you, I released a minor update that includes that fixes to both the Phone and Framework :P
[Verizon Droid Charge] Gnomepatrol:
Kejar is there somewhere we can get that wallpaper from? Or is it included somewhere with the rom?

Edit: Mud on my face it was under wallpapers @.@. Too early i guess.
[Verizon Droid Charge] streetlightman:
hey,

I currently have EP1F stock debloated but since netflix is on froyo now I want to go back. Can I flash straight to this ROM?

I noticed in the OP there was a line under download that said: Odin image of 1.9 + imnuts OTB kernel + working blue imnuts CWM + EE4 radios Make sure you wipe data in CWM before flashing this otherwise the Lagfix will take forever". Since that has the radios can I just flash that? I'd obviously wipe first

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] joereist:
Netflix is working perfectly on my GummyCharged GB ROM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
oh yea credit for the radio confirmation goes to papi92
[Verizon Droid Charge] mylasthope:
Great! So correct me if I'm wrong, but once you release the rom tonight and the radio, we're going to flash the rom through CWM and the radio through Odin?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
yes you can flash strait to this ROM from the jts voodo Kernel
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Don't worry I will create a complete how to when I release.. But I have to get off these forums if I am going to get any work done.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stang68x:
Great, thanks dude. I'll just sit tight for now. Loving the ROM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] suzook:
Is it tonight yet??? LOL..JK..Keep up the great work. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
adb reboot recovery works too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mikey450GT:
I believe so, it's also my first time having that happen. I know when I got my Transformer it also auto restored all my apps then. But that was a month ago...pretty slick tho! I might also have to try this over the AB, just a do a CWM backup and wipe. I can restore this rom through CWM can't I? Just like a normal rom I'm guessin....
[Verizon Droid Charge] MitchTank:
Can someone please post a mirror for the rom
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Don't attempt a restore, it won't work and its a PITA to get your phone working again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MitchTank:
Think I got it
[Verizon Droid Charge] chromiumcloud:
Veteran rom builders are pretty much on top of the game and will bake in new system updates within a couple days. The charge dev community is a little small but thankfully growing, so its a valid question about what will happen with the radio versus rom. In general the two can be flashed (or pushed via odin if you must) separately. The times when that is not the case is when the rom requires a newer radio to function. I believe kejar said that he would post a flashable radio on the front page that you could download and install separately. My only advice is to make sure you have >50% battery before you do as you do not want your phone to die while applying the radio or it might brick it. :( In general just be patient; its nice to see at some major chefs here for this phone.

Got what? A hot chick in the sack? LOL :p

General question: what is everyone's battery life? I am dead after 8 hours of light use on this rom over 4G. Screen is about 40%, but stand by ate up 30%, which seems pretty high. The phone feels much hotter in my pocket compared to the Nexus one in my other pocket (which FYI is down about 35% battery in the same time period).

Is this just part of the 4G experience?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ghettomuffin:
In response to your battery life question, mine hasn't been too good so far. I'm hoping it was just a fluke instance as I've normally been able to get 12 hours off a full charge. Today was the first day of running GummyCharged and my batter was down to 20% in 5 hours with little usage. I'm also keeping my screen at about 20% brightness and most of my snyc settings are set to manual. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it. I love this ROM and I can't thank Kejar enough for everything he's done!

Edit: After removing a new app I had installed yesterday, battery life on this ROM has become unbelievable. I haven't hit a full day since, but I did run it for four hours with moderate to heavy usage and only lost 18%. I never though this phone could get this good. Kejar, simply put, you're the man!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mig1234:
I love it. Let me ask you I'm running Voodoo lagfix. Should I disable it?
