Hi guys i installed GummyCharged 1.8.1 (ee4) and was experiencing a very laggy phone.

As a result of this i decided to go back to the bloated stock rom. I tried 2 different methods. The samsung PST and the CWM Recovery flash from SD which both do the rom and kernel and recovery.

After i loaded the stock rom everything appears to have gone to factory stockwith the exception of the keyboard. I am still seeing the iphone keyboard from GummyCharged 1.8.1 (ee4). I performed a factory reset both in the samsung recovery and in the phone settings and the keyboard under settings/select input method/Samsung Keypad is still the Iphone keyboard.

I wanted to literally wipe everything of the phone and go back to stock so i can go to verizon store.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Rick

Just a note to everyone getting bad battery life, make sure you are wiping all your data, it helps alot. Back everything up with Titanium Backup and sync your contacts to Google, wipe data/factory reset the settings menu in the phone, power it down, put the sd card in your computer and delete the CONTENTS of the .android/secure folder, then put it back in, boot to recovery, and wipe data there. If you don't do all three of those you won't wipe everything. Then clear cache and dalvik cache, voltage settings if you're overclocking/undervolting, and reboot. It makes a huge difference once you get everything, in speed and battery life.

Also, run your battery down to 2% and boot into CWM, and wipe battery stats. When you try to reboot, it won't and will just power down. Then keep it powered down, and plug it up until it charges to 100%, then use it all day until it dies, and do the same thing. Doing that will really help your battery life as well.

But I still don't know how to get HDMI-mirroring to work??

Im at 31 percent with about 6 hours of moderate to heavy use. A lot of tapatalk, an hour of tunein radio, texting, a couple calls and 15 mins of gaming.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Goronok:
I'm wondering how many of you experiencing bad lag or battery life are using an alternate theme. My phone is great on stock GC, but turns into a heaping pile of crap when I flash the Honeycomb theme in the themes section. Love the look of that theme.. just can't use it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DigitalOp:
Thanks for this. Im on the fence with what kernal I should use, either imnuts' PeanutButterJelly time or his bug-free EE4 fix. Now once I pick a kernel can I flash to Gummy 1.8.1 or do I NEED to have a previous gummy version flashed before a upgrade.

Id love to remove most of that bloat coming with the phone

This freakin toolbox is driving me CRAAAZZZYY! still cant get it up nd running..ive tried EVERYTHING except re-downloading the toolbox itself so does anybody know where i can get the link to just the toolbox?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hooskins:
You don't need to flash a previous version of GC. 181 is fine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
So, nobody has any ideas on what's messing me up?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dorioo:
How many times did you install it? On my first install, I experienced some problems. But I reinstalled it again over the initial install and they went away. Maybe that can work for you.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
I don't know what is causing it, but I would wipe data/ factory reset. Wipe dalvik cache. And see what happens.

My aol email keeps re-setting itself to push every fifteen minutes and also resets itself as default email and to show new mail in notification bar. I've set it to "never" numerous times and turn off notification as well but it just keeps resetting itself. Does anyone know what's causing this?

USB Mass Storage mode not working

Hi everyone,

Just switched to 1.8.5 - works like a charm!

Quick question - have any of you noticed that USB mass storage mode not working on custom ROMs? I've tried debloated EE4 and GummyCHARGED - same thing: phone appears in device manager as a empty drive. The only way for me to transfer files so far - it's Media player mode.

Cheers
[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
@dorioo - I tried installing GC 3 times. The first time, I had Voodoo disabled. It was very, very bad. The second and third times, I had Voodoo enabled. Those attempts turned out bad - with the results as described in my post - just not "very, very bad". :-D

@hoppermi - I always performed a Data/Factory reset before each attempt to load GC. I'm pretty sure that wipes the Dalvik Cache. An odd thing was that the clearing always locked up in Recovery Mode when clearing /sdcard/.android-secure. From what I read elsewhere in the forums, this lock-up happens, but the data is actually cleared out properly. Maybe not?

Thanks,
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
You need to update your recovery. imnuts newest doesn't hang on android-secure.
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
Where and how on the latest recovery please?

What version is the latest?

Thanks

Ran 185 over 181 per instructions and it worked fine...until a few minutes ago when I tried to boot to recovery. Pressed the on/off button (maybe too long?) and the phone froze. Pulled battery and rebooted and would not load properly. Perhaps a bug in the new on/off/recovery screen?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Hummm did this continue to happen for you upon reboot?
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
I was trying to boot to recovery. The screen went blank...and nothing. I pulled the battery and rebooted but it did not want to connect to data connection. It was also choppy. Pulled battery again a rebooted, same thing. I am flashing back to 181 now and will give it another try I guess. I never could get it to go to recovery after that. After intitial install it worked like a charm but for some reason it would not work after.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
in the market there is an app called "quick boot" you can boot into recovery..maybe this may help...
[Verizon Droid Charge] stranula:
Used these instructions and my battery life is now incredible. After I first installed 1.8.1 my standby battery life was dreadful, it would drop 7% an hour in my pocket. I had to disable wifi, bluetooth, gps, mobile data, and auto rotate to get it to ~1.5% per hour. I followed your instructions, left the phone unplugged last night with auto rotate, mobile data (4g), and wifi on, dropped 13% in 12 hours. This is of course without use, but its exponentially better than it was just a few days ago
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
So how is 1.8.5 working out for you guys? I want to make sure everything is running smoothly so I can flash it! Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] milkshed27:
If I understood your instructions correctly, I factory reset the phone from the privacy menu and the phone rebooted on it own but got stuck in the droid animation for a long time. I pulled the battery and again it got stuck in the droid animation. Is this normal? Is it supposed to take a while to reboot after the factory reset?
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:

I just did a fresh install, reports tomorrow.

Not sure if you saw this yet. This would be awesome if this was Gummyized (if that is a word). :)

Great news! Can't wait till the devs get their hands on it.

Wow, gone for a week and three new versions come out! Great job, have 1.85 loaded now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Turb0wned:
This rom is so badass. Really makes me feel like I have a nexus. No touch wiz, no sense ****, just plain android. Well close to plain android.
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
to OP

I was able to duplicate the same error. It seems to happen when the battery is less than 10%. It will not allow me to shut down or boot into recovery. At higher battery levels it works fine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tanked:
Getting my phone this Friday, I can't wait to root and install this rom!
[Verizon Droid Charge] DJsRed:
Just to follow up with my post the other day regarding battery life, here's my experience so far:

I fully charged my battery and then rebooted into CWM. From there, I did a factory reset, then wipe cache and dalvik cache. I did this twice, rebooting back into CWM after each set of wipes. I then reflashed the ROM and rebooted into CWM Inc more. After that, I rebooted normally. I don't know if all that was entirely necessary, but I wanted to be sure. I used to phone that day and let the battery go from 100% to 5%. I got decent life out of it, about 13 hours of heavier than normal use for me. This morning, I flashed the new update on the full battery, but didn't wipe. Currently I'm at 67% battery left after 8 hours, 7 hrs of which were spent in airplane mode. I'm gonna try one more time to wipe and reflash, but if I can't get similar battery levels as stock, I may have to go back, even though I love this ROM. Anyone have any suggestions for me? I'll try just about anything to stay on this ROM. It really is great!
[Verizon Droid Charge] neverden:
Can I flash 1.8.5 over 1.8.1 without a wipe?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Yes....
[Verizon Droid Charge] milkshed27:
Have you tried wiping the battery stats? It has helped my battery life. I wipe about once a month (on my OG Droid) or if I flashed a new ROM. Check out Cruiserdude's post #1043 for some good instructions. I usually tend to wipe battery stats on a full battery after a bit of a bump charge but I've read that wiping on a low battery works just as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mpantig:
I upgraded to 1.8.5 from 1.8.1.

I then added the battery mod nearly right away. Had trouble reaching the sleep/shutdown/reboot menu. It kept on crashing and rebooting.

Went back to 1.8.1. and added battery mod.
[Verizon Droid Charge] deadwolfbones:
Got my Charge today, immediately rooted and installed GummyCharged, and it's all working great. Thanks so much for all your hard work, kejar... I'll donate as soon as I've paid this damn thing off. :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] DJsRed:
Yes, I have wiped battery stats per Cruisderdude's post. I did that before flashing the new update to the ROM. The only thing from his post I wasn't able to do was to clear out the .android_secure folder. I don't have a separate microSD reader, so I wasn't able to read the card with my computer. I did take a look at the folder just to see what was in there, and there were only 4 files, one each for Chalkball, Glow Hockey 2, Wordoid, and Aldiko (3 games and an ebook reader), so I wouldn't think those would be affecting my battery life. I remember having to wipe battery stats on my OG Droid, and just deleting the battery stats file out of RZRecovery would do the trick (and wow, was it fantastic the first time I did that!). Thanks for your suggestion though, it always helps to make sure to cover all your bases.

I'm currently at 44% battery remaining after 11 hours, which sounds pretty nice until you take into account that 7 hours 45 minutes of that time was spent in airplane mode. I get very poor reception at work, so the cell radio has a lot of trouble staying connected. I set the phone to airplane mode while I'm there. I'm at home now (another poor service area, lucky me!) and I have it on Wifi now. Its funny, the two places I am the most, work and home, have terrible coverage. Everywhere else I go? Fantastic coverage. Each and every one of my friends lives in a 3+ bars of 4G area! :eek:

I'm open to more suggestions! Help me keep this awesome ROM! I love that it's almost pure Android, yet it has some stylish bits that really jazz it up. It's so fast and responsive too! I wish I could get this battery thing figured out though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
LOL dont worry I am still paying mine off.. Think I have $24 to go
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Well the pieces of TW left I actually like, like the powercontrol widgets and the dialer/contacts.. the Browser is also slightly better than the AOSP one (although really its just a slightly midified version of the AOSP browser). Really those are all just opinions but they are my opinions :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] DJsRed:
I definitely like having the power control widgets in the notification shade, but is there a way of customizing those? I'm thinking probably not because of the buttons they use, but I figured I'd ask. I'd love to have a silent and airplane mode toggle in there instead of something like auto rotation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kamar234:
I too am having horrific battery usage with this rom. Also, I'm not sure if people here are having a lot of fc's, especially with the browser. I have read that there are some issues with the cwm recovery on the Charge, does it actually wipe when you select it. Just trying to figure out what could be the causes of my terrible battery life.
[Verizon Droid Charge] CLTatenza:
I'm getting the best battery life I've ever had from an android phone. Im at about 14 hours since unplugged, and I just dropped below 50 precent battery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
If you are having FC's with the browser you have more than likely done this...

1. you have GC 1.8.1 installed

2. you have installed the reboot options

To fix this download and install GummyCharged 1.8.5 as it fixes the reboot options
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Another thing... I have found that batter life can be a very difficult thing to pinpoint, sometimes it can be an issue with the Kernel/ROM, more of the time it can have to do with flashing ROMs without a full charge and most of all it has to do with poor coverage.. Poor coverage can lead to serous battery drain...

But if you have not done so try this...

1. Fully Charge your phone

2. Log into CWM and wipe battery stats

3. Power up the phone and do not plug it in (computer or wall) until it dies from a dead batter

4. Power your device back to 100% with it off

after that turn your phone back on and see if that helps..

At this point if you are not going to use them use your power controls to shut off GPS, Bluetooth, Auto rotate and wireless when they are not needed. If you are at home and using Wireless shutoff Mobile data....
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
kejar, I'm definitely loving this, but still can't get HDMI mirroring to work on 1.81, what am I doing wrong?? Thanks in advance! :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] got_rice64:
I can testify to this! Battery life was horrible when I was working out of town the last three weeks, but since.I've been home, things are peachy! Battery life is awesome!
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
Those of you with great battery life with mobile data on: how many minutes of normal web browsing (nothing extremely Flash/image heavy) does it take for you to lose 1% of charge on the battery meter? Just trying to get an idea of what is considered normal...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
I am one of the ones having bad battery issues. I understand what you are saying about the radios battery stats poor coverage and so on.. Those all make sense.

But i use my phone in the same way with gummy or stock installed. Im in yhe same areas and i use wifi and bluetooth for the same reasons.

When i run stock i get the standard 10 to 15 hours of moderate to heavy use.. Sometime longer.

When i switch to any version of gummy and use the phone in the same way, the battey life is horrid. I can burn 30% battery just reading the morning news while i drink my coffe. While the same activity kn stock uses 5%

There has to be more than just battery stats.

I have been back and forth between roms and i always install the same apps so as to not skew the comparisons. Something with gummy and some of us is causing our phones to burn huge amounts of power.

What can i do to help you test this problem? Since it seems there are quite a few people with battery issues using gummy, i would be willing to help troubleshoot and be a guinea pig.

I am on #charge as serinety
[Verizon Droid Charge] silenceforus:
I am having the exact same problems. And it sucks. :/

I keep lte/4g off unless Im using it to download something specific, but thats cause no perceptible change in this serious battery drain..
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kamar234:
I think I have the latest version, but I did install the reboot options. I'll redownload and try again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] knyghtryda:
I'm on 1.8.5 and I'm still having calendar FCs. Anyone else having this problem?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Outsider2011:
Well I'm on gummycharged 1.8.5 now and so far so good I'm using swype for the first time and all is smooth. I was having trouble getting the toolbox on 1.8.1 but its up and working and I already flashed the red theme...i will keep people posted on performance.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Outsider2011:
This is a speed demon for sure gummycharged 1.8.5
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Well the only thing I can tell you is, I did nothing to this ROM that would effect battery life... At least in a negative way... So while you say your having those issues, did you follow the instructions I gave you?

I ran though them myself last night as I posted this just to test battery life (which I do no believe is an issue) As of now I am waiting for the battery to drain and after 13h 4m and 23s I am at 69% battery.. granted ~ 7 of those hours were sleeping. But eitherway that is normal batter life.

If you do not reset your battery stats and flash a ROM when not at 100% though CWM you can screw up the battery indicator for your phone. Therefore the phone will report incorrect information. I suggest you fist follow the instructions then post if you are still having issues.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Yes the issues are with the reboot options originally posted.. Although he has updated them to apply the fix since (yesterday I believe)

install 1.8.5 which already has the reboot options and you will be fine
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
This is not normal, did you wipe data before installing GC?
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitroglycerine33:
Have you tried clearing out battery stats yet? If you are getting good battery life with the stock rom you can rule out that your battery is good. It is always recommended to flash a rom at 100% battery. Are you using an overclocked kernel with voltage control?

After you wipe your stats make sure that you let your battery fully discharge and then charge back up before you use it too. It may take a cycle or two before you can really notice the difference.

Gummy should help battery life more than anything.
[Verizon Droid Charge] TonyDeez:
Got my Droid Charge today! First thing I did was rooting and later this. I don't like how there is a battery percentage on the battery, is there a way to modify this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Outsider2011:
If you are having battery issues then you did not follow the instructions. As of now I'm waiting for my stats to go to 2% then I'm gonna wipe battery stats then charge while off and see how it goes thanks again kejar for all your hard work
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
First off Congrats on the new Phone its a good one :D

yea there's a way.. extract the framework-res.apk with 7zip and modify the battery icons. After that simply re-add them..
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Cool just make sure the phone is fully charged when you wipe battery stats..

ofter wiping the stats turn the phone on and use it as normal.. But let it drain all the way down until it shuts its self off. After that plug it into the wall (without powering it on) and let it charge until it is at 100%. After that you should be good and have recalibrate your battery stats.

Power off button automatically reboots...

Just wanted to say that I upgraded from 1.8.1 to 1.8.5 and started having issues with the power menu. When I hold the button, it automatically reboots the phone without giving me a menu. Ran it like this since the release of 1.8.5 and have decided to go back to 1.8.1. Power menu is working again in 1.8.1.

Was previously running the package bundled by danalo (GC 1.7.5 + Imnuts OC kernel) and updated to 1.8.1 after a data wipe. I did not do a data wipe from 1.8.1 to 1.8.5, only a cache wipe.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
Thanks for the response. I hope i am not giving the impression that im complaining or ungrateful. I beleive you are doing great work and i appreciate the effort.

But to respond, i did clear batt stats and did flash while at 100% battery.

Question... This is the 3rd phone i have had and i have rooted and flashed custom kernels on all of the previous phones. This is the first time i have heard of resetting battery stats being so critical.

Also.. When i flash back to stock.. I never reset battery stats and always get excellent battey.

What about the custom rom requires the battery reset charge discharge cycle when relfashing back stock does not require it?

Forgive my insistant inquiries. I am a physics grad student.. Undrstanding how and why is important to me :)

Again.. I am very grateful to you and the community. This rom is one of the best ive used and ive used alot. Other than battery stat resetting what could be going on.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
I am not having any problems with the power menu. I am not using the OC kernel....I am using his other one......have 1.8.5 also....I updated this morning without doing a data wipe...

[Verizon Droid Charge] mpantig:
I believe I ran into the same problem mentioned regarding the power button and reboots. I noticed it after I installed the battery indicator mod following the installation of 1.8.5. So I thought they were related and posted on this thread. Maybe they are or maybe not. I didn't test it out without the mod. Just reinstalled 1.8.1. and the battery indicator mod. Note, I too have imnuts kernel installed. I previously had 1.7.5. installed through recovery mode and followed up with 1.8.1 in the same manner.

there are many others having this battery issue.

If it is in fact due to battery stats not being wiped in the proper order, perhaps a guide would be in order. however, let me try this and see what happens.

I think I have the most experience thus far on battery life between stock and gummy. I have flash back and forth over a dozen times over the last week and a few days and have my whiteboard full of comparisons lol.

its like a flipping science experiment over here lol

at any rate will report back soon

All in all, I'm highly satisfied with this ROM. Everything is speedy, clean, and working as expected.

However, I'm still a stickler for the original white GTalk theme. Is there any way I can go back to this color scheme for GTalk only while keeping everything else about this ROM?
