assuming you are on stock EE4

get the Odin package in the link here

and then Odin it to your phone using the Odin you have (1.3 worked for me, but 1.8 should be fine too)

when done you will have clockwork recovery, voodoo lagfix and this rom plus the PBJ kernel all loaded at once

thats what i did

**just so you know, i had errors during the Odin and it took the third try to get it to work, not sure why, but i was using a usb port on the front of my case and was leaving the battery out (like is done with the fascinate) and on the third try i used a USB port on the back of the computer and left the battery in the phone and then it worked fine...go figure.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fitti28:
For some reason i wasnt able to ODIN this file and i tried 3 times but didnt work. I deleted my fascinate drivers and installed the charge drivers. Then i used the following file to root.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1146103

This will automatically root your system

Once completed you can then flash whatever you like. I chose to flash the GC1.9.1 which so far is amazing and i flashed steel blue theme.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Tucknology:
+1 it has happened to me twice, but not consecutively
[Verizon Droid Charge] GreenMunky:
Okay, I got the lag to go away, here's how... I think. I first went through all the apps I had installed on the SD card. I left all the games but moved almost all the regular apps back to the phone's memory. I then uninstalled the Ad Blocking app I'd been using (I think it was clashing with the ad blocker built into the ROM). I also uninstalled Voodoo control (which had been installed on my SD card), rebooted my phone, and it was just as smooth as it had been running after first flashing the ROM. No lag in the browser, dialer, messaging app or anything else.

i dunno if this will help.. but when the driod boot animation comes up.. its all kinds of glitchy

i also tried odining, this package.. then booting to cwm and also installing the kernal and rom seprate in cwm.. im running outta ideas here.. and cant stand this laggy stock bloated junk
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
sounds like you shouldn't have done anything in stock recovery before odining a new rom, also which rom are you trying to flash with odin? a package with a voodoo kernel? a voodoo kernel will make the boot animation laggy and glitchy so don't worry about that.. you may want to odin back to stock, let it boot once to ensure it took, power off and DO NOT do anything in stock recovery, connect to pc and try the odin install again and it should work (plus has root and CWM etc.) then proceed to flash kernel if needed

[Verizon Droid Charge] Poloasis:
I've just notice my home button doesn't work after flashing this, any ideas on how to get this back.

Thanks guys.
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
You should just start over by using Odin to flash a stock Ron and using a PIT file and repartition checked. Then try again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Nidisa:
Looking for thoughts on my problem. Running gc latest version, pbjt with voodoo. Odined cwm, and flashed kernel and rom.

Issue: cannot run without freeze/reboot any app installed from amazon market. Also have lockups from market apps, bubble popper and today, titanium backup.

phone has been rooted with the stated files for 12 days, and been stable with the exception of bubble popper which would randomly freeze and reboot the phone.

12 days ago I rooted from stock EE4

Tia for your thoughts/solutions.
[Verizon Droid Charge] specter491:
couple ques:

1. Im coming from debloated EE4 with PBJ voodoo installed. can i install this right over with CWM? after a data/cache wipe of course

2. just to make sure im downloading the right file, the CWM-flashable one is right above the full ODIN file right?
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
I don't know about you guys but I don't use Swype, the stock Gingerbread keyboard sucks, and the Samsung keyboard is not much better. I have been carrying the AOSP Froyo keyboard with me since I had a Fascinate. They finally got a decent keyboard built into CM7 on it but for all the Touchwiz based roms I have been installing it which replaces the stock Gingerbread keyboard.

This one is much much faster, has larger more square buttons and is simply way better than the ones that come with this rom. There's no fancy colors or effects, it doesn't give you super powers and it doesn't look all fancy. This is the stock old Android keyboard. To be clear this will replace your Gingerbread keyboard, not add in addition to.

To install simply use root explorer to drop this file into your system/apps directory and then drop this file into your system/lib directory. After that reboot and select "Android Keyboard" as the input method and enjoy a really nice fast simple keyboard that is perfect if you do a lot of texting or emailing on your phone.

I've been trying to install gummycharge for the last several hours to no avail. I have already rooted my phone. I'm running the Altered Beast rom and voodoo lagfix PBJ OTB kernel. I've wiped the user data, cache, and Dalvik and then proceeded to check the "Unknown Sources" and "USB Debugging" options. The I tried to use odin to put on the gummycharge rom and it fails every time. I've soft bricked twice and don't want to do it again, so does anyone know where I'm messing up and would be willing to point me in the right direction?

Gtalk Not working

So I have noticed that my contact list on gtalk says they are all offline. Soon as I send a message to someone (That I know is online) it says they are now online. Kinda annoying because I dont know who is online all the time. I have tried wiping the cache for gtalk which will work for a few hours. This happened to me on both GB 1.8 and now on FE 1.9.1.

[Verizon Droid Charge] studioleland:
Found the issue was NoLed app. It sometimes doesn't unlock screen. False alarm everyone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Is there anyway to get Backup Assistant on this rom? It's not in the market and I don't want to have to attempt to get all of my contacts back by asking people.

Also when the phone is on vibrate, text messages do not vibrate to notify you that a new text message has arrived. Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] streetlightman:
in response to backup assistant, most people don't really need backup assistant since you can use google to backup your contacts.

in response to your vibrate question i too had the same issue: to resolve it, hit the messaging app, go to the place where you can see all the threads, hit the menu button and hit settings > notification settings > vibrate > always.

good luck!
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
The easiest thing to do is to log in to Verizon online and go to the backup assistant tool and you can export your contracts as a csv file and then just load it in gmail. I did this back when I had mt Fascinate on CM7 and couldn't use backup assistant on that either.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Thanks guys! I actually got stuck in a boot loop trying to use some tweaks and was thinking about going back to Altered Beast. I'm going to give GummyCharge another try instead.

I'd like to flash the full odin of 1.9.1 and I'm coming from the leaked EP1H. Is there anything special I need to do or can I just flash via odin? Do I also need to wipe/factory reset via CWM or is that all taken care of with the odin install?

Thanks!

After odin 1.9.1 yesterday my phone has reboot twice and keeps getting "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" after getting a phone call. I get other stop errors depending on the service that was running.

After closing the .phone error there was another error message behind it: "The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Force close
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
I saw before that you just installed this over the EP1H leak. Did you try going back to EE4 first since this is an EE4 rom? I'm not sure if that's the issue, but it seems like the likely culprit.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bkhorn:
Yes I did come from GC GB 1.8 but I thought if you used odin to install you didn't need to do anything else. I was under the impression that odin was like formatting then installing a whole new ROM from the root level.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
True, but I think that only applies for the kernel and rom? Did you have to install the leaked update before using odin to put on the new rom? Check your phone and see if your currently running EE4.

I am no expert by any means, I'm just trying to go through some step by step trouble shooting to see if we can figure it out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bkhorn:
Firmware: 2.2.1

[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Hmm... I would say try clearing dalvik cache / cache partition first and see if that helps. If not I'd say do a factory reset and use odin to put GC on again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ercDROID:
I'm going to be rooting my wifes charge tonight. I have a rooted thunderbolt so the processes are definitely different to me. Doesn't seem too hard. I'm going to use Gummycharge 1.9.1. What kernel seems to be working the best with this combo?
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
why dont you just use the Odin package for this rom? If you are on stock EE4 thats all you need, includes Gummy 1.9.1 rom rooted and all, PBJ kernel (not sure which version but you can upgrade kernels after the fact), and clockwork recovery

no need to go through rooting and all that.....just one Odin flash and you are done
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Generally, people are using Imnuts' PBJ kernel and it has worked well for me. Just a side note, the startup animation is glitchy with this kernel and if that bugs you you can install your own animation. It freaked me out when I first saw it. Lol. I thought I had messed something up when I first rooted my charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] awdshenanigans:
i'm having an issue with 1.9.1 where i click on one text message thread and a different one pulls up. anyone else?
[Verizon Droid Charge] nismoz33:
Can you direct me to this? I am wanting to do this exactly with my newly obtained Charge. I figured I would attempt it tonight.

Also, can someone clarify the EE4 term to me? I assume that is the software version on the phone, but where do I confirm this version on my phone? Samsung rooting is so different from HTC phones I've had up until this week.:confused:
[Verizon Droid Charge] GreenMunky:
Go back to the OP, the Odin download package will be there. Its an All-in-One install (ROM, kernel [voodoo with OC/UV capabilities], modem and Clockwork MOD).

EE4 is the latest OTA update that has pushed to the Charge, it should be what you have already.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ercDROID:
This may be a stupid question, but I have the directions from the FAQ to root and install each item individually. What would I do different if I was going to do the all in one install? She would be jacked if a messed up her phone lol. I also saw some good themes to go with as well. She is definitely EE4. I have never used ODIN before. I did seem to learn everything to root and flash on the thunderbolt pretty quick.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Those instructions are not for the Full Odin package. The Full Odin is a full flash package that has everything already in it (kernel, cwm, radios, voodoo, gummy rom). Make sure you get the 'Full Odin for 1.9.1 ...' file. Use Odin and flash away. Its an all in one package that works great. Hint: After putting your (her) phone into download mode and connecting to Odin on your computer, be sure to put the battery back in before flashing. This will likely save you heartache. Also, the first boot will be a few minutes. Don't panic.

Quick and dirty:

1. Load/Run Odin on your computer (I use 1.3 because its never failed for me)

2. Pull battery from phone.

3. Connect USB cable to phone - use the one that came with phone.

4. Hold the 'volume down' key while connecting to computer. Your phone should now display 'Download Mode'

5. Odin should recognize a Com port that the phone is on (yellow block appears - should be obvious).

6. Click on PDA (NOT Phone) and select the md5 package of 1.9.1 Full package

7. De-select Auto-reboot and F. Reset Time on Odin main screen... It just seems safer.

8. Hit Start on Odin.

9. Wait while it downloads to phone, flashes, flashes more, flashes more. I just came back from another build and this took 6:31 total iirc

10. When you see PASS on ODIN pull the battery and disconnect from computer.

11. Reinsert battery and turn on.

12. Wait. Wait some more.

13. Enjoy Gummy!
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
Never ever pull the battery while the device is supposed to be doing something either. It may look hung up but chances are it will come out of it. Just FYI. Its not hung unless its been at least 15-20 minutes since it last did something.
[Verizon Droid Charge] wenzer:
I'm having a similar issue. After odin-ing last night my home button no longer works and gmail seems to not be functioning/syncing at all.

Also, I now have CWM 4.0.0.8 (thought the odin had the latest version) and the voodoo lagfix did not enable. I tried enabling thru CWM but it wouldn't take.

Any thoughts? I came from the EP1H leak to this, straight odin nothing else.
[Verizon Droid Charge] synplex:
I'm currently on Humble Rom and Im loving my Battery life, but I like Gummy Charged look. Is the battery life on Gummy Charged worse? and is so how bad?

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
I also just came - today - from EP1H and flashed 1.9.1 full (without doing anything else) and voodoo was enabled on first boot. Try Quadrant and check your scores. If over 1200 (I just scored 1538), you are already voodoo'd. You can also load Terminal, type su <enter>, then mount <enter>. If you see lines near the top that say EXT4 somewhere you are voodoo'd, if you see RFS, you're not.

CWM voodoo control does not seem to work... Also the voodoo app from the market will let you know where you stand with your filesystem.

Strange about the home key and Gmail. I've not had an issue with those at all. You might try to re-Odin and see if that helps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] wenzer:
Re-odined after doing a full factory wipe, dalvik cache, and partition wipe. Also checked and it is voodoo lagged. Quadrant score was 1370 but the phone was doing google sync while running that so it may have lowered the score. We'll see if the titanium backup restores all of my apps in a stable manner.

Thanks tdenton
[Verizon Droid Charge] nismoz33:
After following these instructions, how do I go about installing the Market/Gmail update &/or the Puzzle Lock update? Do I just install those through CWM? Drop the zip files on my SD card?

Also, is there a visual voicemail app built-in to this? Also, is there a way to add or change the 3 icons at the bottom of the screen?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bkhorn:
OK, I can't take it anymore. My phone is rebooting after anything happens and I haven't receive any text messages all day. Here is my plan.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Happy!:
When I open the browser after a reboot or closing out browser, it is very laggy for about 8-10 seconds at the google home page. It's fine after that. Any fix for this? I haven't seen anyone with this issue yet. Also swype is very slow to respond during this.

USB

I take it USB drivers don't work with this rom for some reason under Windows7 x64?

I got my Charge today, and have rooted and ROM'd a friend's Droid Charge in the past for him since the steps were quite similar to my old Fascinate.

I've spent the last few hours trouble-shooting to figure out why my Charge never has the drivers install properly in Windows 7. I even re-installed (clean install) Windows 7 and still no dice.

Any suggestions?

If I extract the Windows 7 Samsung drivers, can I force it to install the Charge Mass Storage drivers by clicking "Have disk" ?

Thanks.

*edit* Ok, so evidently I can't use the front usb ports on my computer because either the wires are too thin, or the shielding is too crappy. I suspected this as being the problem when I was reading about needing to use the OEM cable over some cheap Chinese knockoff cables. (we all know it's a line of B.S. that the samsung cables have an extra pin on them b/c then it wouldn't be micro USB).

Anyways, solution? I had to use my VERY thick usb extension cord that goes around to a USB port that is directly soldered to the motherboard.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Hmmm. I've no problems with getting into USB mode with the ROM (or any other ROM for that matter) on my x64 Win 7 desktop box. Are you using the download-able drivers available here (somewhere) or are you trying to use those that come on the Charge itself. I used the downloaded Samsung USB driver package from one of the forums...
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
You can download the latest Samsung drivers directly from Samsung.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lane32x:
bah. edited my last post. it was the crappy front port that I was using on my computer. That's not annoying. lol.

A lot of people used to have similar issues with my old mp3 player (Sandisk Sansa e200, i believe) but their problems usually stemmed from not using a powered USB hub.

I need help on two items that I can't find in this rom. Not sure if I am overlooking them or they aren't in this rom & need to be added some other way.

1. Voicemail app - Looking for a good Visual Voicemail App like I had stock on my Charge or something similar to what HTC Sense includes. Someone please help me find this or help with instructions on how to add this. I like to have a shortcut to my voicemail app for quick checking.

2. Mail icon showing the number of unread messages - I was able to add a shortcut to "Email" & select my work account. However, this is not the same as the stock MAIL icon & does not show you the number of unread messages on the icon. Is there a way to get the MAIL icon on my home screen? Is that included in this rom or does it need to be added another way? Any help would be great.

Other than these two items, I am loving the rom! No problems or major complaints. If these two items were resolved, this would be perfect in my opinion.

Thanks!

PS. Can we load the latest Google Talk app to get video chat through the front facing camera?
