[Verizon Droid Charge] NattyBee:
Yep, wiped everything. I am on the EE4 radio (took the EE4 OTA prior to rooting, in fact)... I have experienced no issues with GPS except when I run Eclipse...it takes a while to lock on, but that's not the big issue- the killer is that while I'm driving, it'll lose GPS signal, and then takes forever "searching for GPS". Also, at times it'll show my location incorrectly, and it will fail to update as I drive. The only cause I can think of would be that change he made to GPS (in OP, he states that GPS has been changed to utilize US satellites rather than North America satellites)... even stock I had no problem with GPS whatsoever, so I honestly don't know why it would be messed with...but perhaps we could have an option to change it back?

Btw, I have had others confirm GPS issues with the rom...a friend tested on his and also found it took forever to lock, and it showed him moving around when he was in fact sitting still.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
I use GPS for my speedometer application, and so far every ROM I tried has been garbage compared to my Droid X.

Just to be clear, my GPS does work with Eclipse, and I've yet to see it drop. BUT it does take 2-3 minutes to get a reliable lock, as opposed to 5-7 seconds on the DX. I'm hoping we can get some GB-Eclipse action going so I can try the newer radio stack.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NattyBee:
From what I hear (from a reliable source), the GB leaks are still buggy and not yet ready...personally, I'm happy to wait for the official GB, lol.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Fitchd08:
I love this rom haven't had any issues.

Found a new apk of media hub and installed (from July 3, 2011) and it says my location isn't known or supported. I know it's not a big deal but I'd like to dl movies, anyone have a working apk?
[Verizon Droid Charge] NattyBee:

Very good. Glad I could help :)

[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
Great rom. I can't believe there is not more chatter on this one?
[Verizon Droid Charge] joewom:
me too

I have tried them all and this one is the best looking and best on my battery. With gummy I couldn't get thru my work day. With this rom I can not only get thru work but till I go to sleep also. Awsome!!!!!!!!!! This is my first comment on a rom its that awsome. Thanks.

Adobe Flash Player

Has anyone else ran into a problem not being able to install Adobe Flash Player?

It downloads from the Market just fine, but I get a "package file was not signed correctly" error when it attempts to install.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitroglycerine33:
That is because flash is already installed in system/app. The version of flash I included with the rom allows you to use hulu plus.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NattyBee:
nitroglycerine33, have you looked into the GPS issue at all? I'm sorry to keep bringing ut up, but i'd really love to return to Eclipse...in every other aspect it is THE BEST...but I need a properly functioning GPS....
[Verizon Droid Charge] caelius:
Thank you for the quick reply and for answering my question. Sorry if I missed seeing the answer in the changelog.

Love your ROM. I came to the Charge from a Droid 1 and have been seriously missing the stock look and feel until now, so a huge thank you!
[Verizon Droid Charge] MtnDewMan:
Any chance for a GB version? :cool:
[Verizon Droid Charge] NattyBee:
ok....so even without the GPS, I had to go back to Eclipse...but now I have no ringtones, and no notification tones...I'm gonna try wiping and reinstalling...I didn't have this problem the first time I installed this...

**edit** a clean install did indeed fix this ringtone problem, lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitroglycerine33:
This is the stock GPS settings. Let me know if this fixes it for you.

Thanks! Apply via CWR, correct?
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitroglycerine33:
Yes, flash in recovery.

Yessir, thankyou! I will test it this evening as I drive between jobs, lol...i'll definitely let you know how it goes. Thanks again!

nitro:

Very nice Rom. Have used it for several days now and would report excellent battery life! Themeing is nicely done. My favorite ROM so far! :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] NattyBee:
Thankyou! This appears to have done the trick...GPS instantly locks, and I drove 2 trips, 40 min each, without issue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Actually what works best for me is to go into /data/gps

open it with a text editor

Change gps server from spirent-lcs to this "supl.google.com" (NO WWW.)

Change port to 7276

Change mode to MSBASED

- Accuracy from 50 to 30

Then reboot your phone , (dont worry if youre using Root explorer, once yo usave your changes it creates a back up of the file with the .bak extension)

- Now I lock within 10 seconds
[Verizon Droid Charge] NattyBee:
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind if I get further issues, but to be honest- the stock gps zip that Nitro uploaded has got my gps working instantly and without issue. :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] crossfire2500:
I'm no n00b but I need help just to be clear.

This is a .zip of the file and not a .tar as odin is usually used with. Can i just use odin and flash the .zip file of the rom as normal? i'm a little skeptical about trying it without first getting a word.

I'm coming from stock thats why i am going to use odin and not CWM. because i cannot just get root like i could with my Captivate. Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
No. That ZIP is flashable only in CWM. It wouldn't let you flash it in ODIN even if you tried.
[Verizon Droid Charge] crossfire2500:
Ok well what is the best way to come from stock? Shall I go through installing another rooted Rom first then wipe and cwm this? Can't the op just post a Odin flashable tar or can I convert it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] NattyBee:
Give me a few and I will post links to threads where you can get rooted. You will need to flash CWM using ODIN, and then flash a kernel (I suggest Imnuts's OTB kernel, since that's what the OP recommends)... anyhow, threads for these can be fpund here at xda in the Charge Development forum...i'll post links in a little while ;)

**EDIT**

the CWM can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112804

and the OTB kernel can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126136

follow all instructions EXACTLY, and if you need help, we're all here to help out ;) anyhow, I gotta run before my wife kills me, lol good luck! keep us posted on your progress :P
[Verizon Droid Charge] crossfire2500:
That was a really good response. I didn't realize You could install cwm directly with Odin. I always just downloaded from market on other phones if I remember right.

So just :

1. flash CWM

2. boot into recovery

3. Flash kernel and rom that sounds good.

I can't do this yet I am away for the weekend from my computer and I Also want to check out a speaker problem I'm having. It sounds distorted when I turn volume up over half way. Gotta see if this is normal. Or if anyone has input. Plus my GPS sucksssssssss almost as bad as my captivate.

Hi,

I noticed many phones offer "unlimited social networking" bundles. This basically means unlimited Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.

Is there an app I can use to shape the HTTP headers of all my packets to look like they are from facebook ?

If not, is there any other way I/someone could have unlimited traffic ?

My old phone shapes all the packets to look like GPS packets (which I have unlimited of), thus giving me unlimited internet, just wondering if its possible with unlimited social networking too :D

Is it safe/possible to flash a RUU using this guide? My phone doesn't let me install the Optus RUU saying: "Model ID Incorrect".
[HTC Incredible S] mark manning:
Nope, not with out modifying the file and adding update scripts

sent from my Google Nexus 12! yup I'm from the future
[HTC Incredible S] charch:
are you sure? Then how can we flash radio without scripts? Can't I just flash all the partitions one by one without rebooting?
[HTC Incredible S] mark manning:
Pretty sure, you can try but I highly doubt it works.

I have never flashed a radio from recovery without it being modified. As for it having an update script idk but I would have to assume so

sent from my Google Nexus 12! yup I'm from the future
[HTC Incredible S] charch:
Is there a chance it'll brick my phone though? :-S I dont want to kill it... and I've flashed the radio from this ruu using "fastboot flash radio radio.img", so why wouldn't it work? if I only flash the system and data partitions, I should be safe from bricks, right?
[HTC Incredible S] mark manning:
Idk I don't use fastboot unless I have to. I haven't ever flashed anything besides a recovery from there. There is always a chance of bricking your phone when flashing something.

Chances are if you flash anything in an ruu your just gonna loose root. Wait til a dev gets his hands on it or look up how to use the android kitchen.

sent from my Google Nexus 12! yup I'm from the future
[HTC Incredible S] charch:
Root is SUPER easy to regain (just flash the root.zip in recovery)... and everything is flashed through fastboot on the Incredible S... except custom roms ofcourse.
[HTC Incredible S] mark manning:
If its an unofficial ruu that zip might not give your root back. Also if you have to flash custom roms from recovery, what makes you think this would be any different.?

[HTC EVO 3D] Neo3D:
Are there any 3D image or video viewers or players available besides using the stock Gallery app?

How hard do you think it would be to write one from scratch?

Is there a standard Android API for this or is it custom stuff that HTC and LG wrote themselves for their own phones?

Does this mean that we won't be able to share 3D images and/or videos with other manufacturer's phones?
[HTC EVO 3D] Neo3D:
Sooo, I take it there's no third party 3D viewing apps (yet)?
[HTC EVO 3D] dmacias:
I like mVideoPlayer. It will only play native file types though that the stock player would play. But you get swipe to seek, pause on click, auto screen rotation and a lot more. It plays 3d and also can be used to stream videos.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shagav:
first off, before you get flamed by someone else...Questions go in the question section of the forum. (please post in the right section next time)

with that said,

the source code has not been released yet. So basically you will have to wait till HTC release it

or someone finds a way to root the phone without the source code, which is very unlikely.

Yeah i think that a lot of people that get flamed the first time they post here, even if it is in the wrong section, never post again on XDA because they despise the community and the type of assholes that lurk here.

I don't know what the mods are capable of doing, but one person letting the guy know that he posted in the wrong subforum is all that is needed, and a quick PM to a mod to let them know it needs moved, if that is possible.

And then I think the following posts that say things about it being in the wrong section and prepare to get flamed and blah blah blah, should get deleted and those persons warned.

It would help more people stay XDA'ers

As for the Hboot question. I don't know how to explain it in depth OP, very sorry. I think of it kind of like an emergency recovery. You are able to flash pc36 images, fastboot commands, and boot into regular recovery from there. Beyond that, I haven't a clue the inner workings to it.

The OP never said he wanted to root his phone, you guys are flaming him calling him a n00b when really.... YOU are the n00bs talking about rooting.

Read carefully, he was asking about more info on Hboot.

And you can't assume someone stupidly updated OTA to the newest updated , he just got his phone replaced which comes loaded with the newest firmware.

The same thing happened to me and thats why im here, reading and searching around to see if there any way to root the phone.

I have a metro pcs flashed Evo...I activated it from another metropcs flashed evo. For some reason, I keep losing bars if I leave it idle and I have to reboot the phone in order to have service. I have to do this like every 5 min. Is there a way to update the hboot and radios so I can re-root it? I know how to do it somewhat, I just can't find hboot 2.15 or 2.16.

[Android General] smalis:
Thought I would pass this tip on, for anyone interested.

After trying numerous methods of app organization and launching, I have settled on an excellent solution - Swipepad and Folder Organizer, in combination. I use Folder Organizer to organize all my apps into 20 folders, each of which I can then access at any time (from within apps, or from anywhere on the phone) with Swipepad, by setting each of 20 Folder Organizer folders as a SwipePad link.

See the attached screenshot. Swipepad lets you "pop up" the customized pad at any time, no matter what the phone is doing. This provides real multi-tasking.

I also use Swipepad's MoreSpace add-on to add more customized pads, and to increase the number of slots per pad.

Two excellent programs, which combine very well, although neither is free. (I have no connection with either, other than as a user).
[Android General] itskapil:
Om love Swipepad too -- it's so cool and easy!
[Android General] cyansmoker:
I own both apps.

Unfortunately, on my MIUI INC, trying to launch any app from Swipepad freezes the whole phone. I guess it's my fault for running an exotic configuration.
[Android General] smalis:
And now, I find that Swipepad will break any third party screen brightness apps/widgets, so you will only be able to control screen brightness via stock android controls.

I have tried to get the dev to address this, but he does not seem interested in doing so.
[Android General] Batman81:
My pads are circular and dont use those Icons you have, How did you customize them?
[Android General] smalis:
The picture is from an earlier version of Swipepad, before the pads became circular.

To customize a portal image, create a Folder Organizer folder with the icon and label you want. Then link the portal to a "shortcut" of the link to that Folder Organizer folder.
