Thanks for the reply! But I'm not sure what "flash the odin" means. I used ODIN to flash CWM and then installed this as an update.zip. Can you point me to a guide or give me something to Google?

Sorry I'm asking so many questions...I'm used to rooting Droid 1's and their procedure is different.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rmanaka:
Hey no problem...I'm quite new to the Samsung/Verizon world as well! I previously rooted the Moto Atrix and the HTC Inspire but the ODIN world is new to me...

If you note, danalo1979 provides two different files for Humble 1.3...one is a .zip file and the other is an ODIN version.

The .zip file can be flashed using CWM and will NOT overwrite your user data and installed programs. Great for upgrading from a previous version of Humble but it does not include a kernel to give root if you flash it to a stock EE4 phone.

The ODIN file (.tar.md5) will overwrite your userdata on the phone and WILL write a new kernel to give you root and superuser...you'll have to clear/factory reset, wipe cache, and then do a battery recalibration after flashing the ODIN, but it completely replaces most of the firmware in the phone and gives a very stable installation. You will have to reinstall your programs from your backup method of choice...Titanium Backup, Google backup, etc...

HTH!
[Verizon Droid Charge] ericabiz:
Oh! I get it now :) I'd love for the OP to clarify this in the first post in the thread...

You would have to install odin + clockwork mod first...then I did this:

I started up odin, did the flash with the odin file from the original post, completed that, rebooted into CWM recovery by holding down volume up + home button + power (and releasing power when I saw the samsung logo)...

Wiped, formatted....it hung at formatting sdcard but I Googled and found this is a common problem and it actually does complete the format. Waited 5 minutes, pulled battery and booted to recovery again.

Wiped cache again (just to be on safe side) and installed the humble update.zip.

And now I am root and I'm all set! (AND my sd card works again!)

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] rmanaka:
Glad you got it working...enjoy! I sure am!!!

p.s. There is an app named Quickboot in Humble...you can use it to reboot directly into CWM recovery (or quickly turn off, or perform a normal reboot).

p.p.s. Don't forget to recalibrate the battery if it seems as if it is draining faster than it should...
[Verizon Droid Charge] punisher97:
Hey has anyone had any problems using wifi tether or barnacle on this rom? It connects but with errors but it wont show up on devices. Didn't know if it was the rom interfering or something on my end.
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
Wifi tether worked for me but it took a while for the phone to be recognized by the computer.
[Verizon Droid Charge] punisher97:
Ok I will keep trying. If anyone has any issues let me know it will help to know what end the issue is on.
[Verizon Droid Charge] driege:
A request, if you don't mind:

Is there a way to disable the GPS warning notification that comes on every time you toggle on the GPS? It seems there is no way to disable this so I think it needs to be changed in the ROM. I have my phone set to automatically turn GPS on and off when I need it (using tasker to turn it on for certain apps). Having to confirm that I want GPS defeats the purpose.

Here's the message I am referring to:
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Ocd to 1400 as well.. weird. Every phone is different too maybe you have some stuff in the background running? I cleared the ram and I don't have any widgets or anything.

Im getting like 25 hours to 0% on the battery with light usage (data on gmail and facebook sync every 30 mins) is that good? Stock battery.

Edit: set cpu to noop and performance for governor.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fz798:
DB please

I've been going back and forth between Humble 2.2 and 1.3, and I think I will be on 1.3 for a while. There are a lot of neat things about 2.2, but for several reasons, battery being chief among them, I am back on 1.3.

I donated this morning based on using 2.2 but the shoe still fits for 1.3, in fact, in many ways, even better... 1.3 is just stupid fast and barely sips on the battery, as said so well in the OP.

One of my biggest complaints with Humble is that neither version include the Daily Briefing. I've managed to find a number of deodexed copies of infoalarm.apk and am unable to get any of them to work without FC.

Danalo, please oh please add infoalarm.apk back into 1.3! pleeeeeeez! :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] brian1972ct:
Curiousity got the best of me and I flashed 2.2 earlier this morning. 2.2 basically paralyzed my phone as a Calender file seemed to be missing or corrupt, and put my phone on a FC revolving door.

I reflashed 1.3, and am happy to be back!
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Flash a rooted kernel with odin
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
I will put it back in soon
[Verizon Droid Charge] fz798:
Thank you!
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
danalo1979,

Awesome ROM, have you considered removing the worthless samsung backup utility, and samsung factory test (which always is listed as a running process)?
[Verizon Droid Charge] triton302:
what are both of those processes?
[Verizon Droid Charge] lilmanmgf:
Is anyone else having an issue with apps not filling the screen? This even happens with the dialer on 1.3.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
sounds like your lcd density is too low....I used SGS tools to edit it
[Verizon Droid Charge] muzhik:
when updating from 1.25 to 1.3, do i have to do factory reset? or will my apps/data remain on the phone?!

thanks,
[Verizon Droid Charge] dchavez:
I flashed the puzzle lock screen but noticed it didn't handle missed calls and sms the same as stock. Any way to address that? I thought that was a cool feature but no biggie. Much thanks for this ROM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] paul25rs:
I'm getting a weird issue. once in a while when I take a picture with flash on the phone freezes and I have to do a battery pull. anyone else getting this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] tmidd21:
Great Mod! Everything works great so far.

The only issue is that after reading previous posts, people have got 2k+ quad scores. I am only getting around 1500, is there something I can do to improve this?

Thank you
[Verizon Droid Charge] fz798:
I just took a few with forced flash, seems OK
[Verizon Droid Charge] fz798:
I just ran three Quadrant tests in a row. First at default [Humble] clocking (100-1000) and I came in at 1602. Then I OC'd to 1.5GHz and the score "only" rose to 1690. 3rd test I reset clock back to default and used task manager to clear memory and got 1615.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ballanda123:
Not enjoying this rom. seems heavy compared to Gummy
[Verizon Droid Charge] mslpilt:
I was a fan of this too. Anyway to get the default SMS/Phone call properties for the lock screen? Other than that I'm still rocking awesome battery life with this ROM. Thanks again!
[Verizon Droid Charge] triton302:
How so? I find this to be faster and use less battery power than Gummy, and I have yet to have a FC or other app problems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
I have been having a few problems when running this rom but it may just be my phone or install (I have wiped data, cache, and delvic on 3 different installs)

1. You tube videos will not play in HQ mode no matter what. I can be in 4g or wifi and it still defaults to the low quality.

2. On the flixster movie app I get a forced close when I try to play the movie trailers.

3. The phone sometimes is not recoginized by the computer when pluged in and used as data storage to move files back and forth.

Anybody else have this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
What does anyone know about sd swap files? Is it dealt necessary? And how do I create one? It seems that the apps for this don't work. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
Is this using the youtube app. I just tried it and it comes up HQ for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
+1, what do you mean by heavy lol?
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
It does come with a bit more bloat but Root Explorer and about 2 minutes of my time took care of that. Considerably better than Gummy in my opinion. Flawless in operation for me
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Agreed. Gummy in my opinion is over-developed. This rom is your best option for the charge. Period.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
Sweet, what is new for 1.33?
[Verizon Droid Charge] m0unds:
this is the same issue I had with the ODIN package as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
can I flash this over EP1F in cwr?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Set your governor to performance and you will get higher scores... Don't leave it on that setting. .. You will kill your battery
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
No.. This is ee4 based with a completely different kernel and baseband
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
My Verizon app error fix, debloating, some other goodies
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
so I'll have to oden back to froyo frist to install this
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
You will have to use the full factory tar from p3droid as it needs to downgrade your modems back to ee4...
[Verizon Droid Charge] quantim0:
Just flashed the honeycomb battery icon, hung the first time but went smooth the second time.

Will you be making a full honeycomb theme at some point? I love my honeycomb theme on an AOSP rom on my Evo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
thanks.......
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
The AOSP lockscreen slider has a color disparity. When you touch and hold the lock slider and move it, the actual lock bar is a much lighter gray than the button. Is this intended?
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Am trolling for 1.33 :) cant wait!
[Verizon Droid Charge] droid-ed:
very good rom, but has anyone seen random reboots?

So I moved to Humble 125 just before 13 came out. It simply blew me away!! I love the battery life. Getting almost 22 hours with my normal use.

I had applied the Vending and CarDock fixes manually. I believe these were folded into 13.

I had tested most functions except playing video from a local file. For some reason, it appears to be flaky with playing video files.

It has now randomly rebooted a couple of times today. The most recent was after only being up for a few hours.

Could it be related to the heap size change that gives us better battery life?

I will update to 133 as soon as it comes out. But I can't afford to stay on it, if it randomly reboots.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
If anything increased heap size would bolster video stability. .. This is the first mention of a random reboot. If it keeps happening lemme know
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
Would it be possible for you to remove the battery full notification? It wakes me up in the middle of the night while charging the phone and other roms have removed that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
I would love the same!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Can I install over last version? Oh and also, does anyoje get a gps lock under 5 meters. The lowest mine will go is 5 meters and I already changed the server to supl. Google.com. my thunderbolt is getting a lock in same position at 2 meters
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
considering the fact that the 3 gps satellites 20,000 miles away are triangulating your position can get to 5 meter accuracy is a great accomplishment. Im not sure an extra 3 meters is going to matter.... :p

Try turning off the verizon assisted and google assisted gps features... these may be triangulating 3 cell phone towers to pin your position which may be causing the inaccuracy
[Verizon Droid Charge] tkm20:
Loving the rom so far. I've been a lurker for a while now, so I just decided to join.

After installing the rom, I go to plug in the phone to my laptop to install pb&j kernal for root, but my laptop will not pop up the SD card folder to move files around. I have the USB settings to ask on connection. Any ideas? In "Computer" (aka My Computer), I have a removable disk, but is faded out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Its up
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Reboot your phone and computer and try again... If you still don't have root flash the humble 133 odin. .. It has root
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rockwell22:
How do I happy themes I flashed in cwr and rebooted and still same theme
[Verizon Droid Charge] tkm20:
Still no sd card window. I flashed using cwr. Other than opening No-frills CPU Control in the apps menu, what there another way to tell you have root?
[Verizon Droid Charge] mpantig:
How do I get back to Humble 1.x from GB?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
see my original post... i put instructions there towards the bottom
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
download terminal emulator then type this command

su

if you see a # sign instead of a dollar sign then you have root directory.

Sounds like your kernel is corrupted... flash imnuts kernel and you will have root... or you can flash humble 133 odin package....
[Verizon Droid Charge] tkm20:
Thanks. I did that as well, not knowing 100% I did it right and got a "not found". I'm flashing 133 via odin now. Thanks for the help. I'll keep you updated on if this worked on both root and sd folder issue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Be sure to wipe data and cache after odin flash
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrep182:
danalo, fyi I also get random reboots from time to time.I'm using 1.25 right now
[Verizon Droid Charge] tkm20:
All in cwr? Never done that before...Also, reflashing in odin worked for root and my sd issue. Thanks again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hack2009:
Keep up the great work danalo!

I just have a hopefully small request....could we get the stock icons back for the alarm clock and gps in the status bar.
[Verizon Droid Charge] triton302:
So if I'm on 1.3 right now and wanted to flash 1.33, all I would need to do is load the ZIP in CWM and apply it to the phone without wiping right? Kind of like a software update?
[Verizon Droid Charge] fz798:
Yep, exactly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fz798:
Note however that if you had deleted any apk files from 1.3, they will be back, possibly as apk.bak.

Also, one or two you may have been using before are now named as apk.bak and you will need to rename them back to apk in order to use them.
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
Here's the theme issue with the lock screen. Is there a way you can quickly patch this up with a framework modification? I tried changing just the lock screen through UOT Kitchen but this ended up reverting my battery changes (I had installed the stock Gingerbread battery).
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
How can I get the google talk app? It is deleted and I can't find it on the market.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tkm20:
Did you look in the sys->apps folder?
[Verizon Droid Charge] a2hill:
danalo, thanks for the great work on the rom everything works wonderfully, I just wanted to add in though that I am also getting a random reboot or two. For me they are pretty few and far between and when they happen it seems like a very quick boot. I thought it was interesting though, when they happen the time since boot does not reset in spare parts>battery info. Just an fyi, thanks for all the hard work!

Edit: This was over the last few days on 1.3, I just started with 1.33 today.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
What is the best way to restore the renamed app's? I just copied to the sdcard, renamed to end in .apk and installed using a ez app installer.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fz798:
Can rename in place with root explorer
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
Thanks for the tip. Root explorer is $3.99 right? Is there a free file manager that has this capability?
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Download Super Manager, just be sure to hit menu, and enable root mode when you install it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] clk5068:
ep1f baseband

So i flashed gb 2.3.4 before going back to froyo and did not lose the new baseband for gb. I have had no problems at all using humble and am wondering if i switched back to the ee4 baseband if id save more battery. Thanks.

Chris
[Verizon Droid Charge] fz798:
Interesting. My baseband shows EP1F too. Build number shows HUMBLE 1.33 EE4

FWIW my battery life has been great on 1.3/1.33 but was not very good on GB.
[Verizon Droid Charge] clk5068:
same

same situation as me. I flashed 1.3 through odin and it didnt change my baseband. sounds like the best of both worlds to me. I only wish there was a a way to remove adds like in gummy charge. is there a way to get the gummy toolbox to work with humble?
[Verizon Droid Charge] fz798:
Danalo - another request please:

In the GB build, the incoming ringtone starts off quiet and increases after about one second.. this is genius, minimizes the "startle" factor greatly... can this be added to 1.x ?
[Verizon Droid Charge] criticalhit:
Rom keeps getting better! And thanks for not abandoning us when the GB leak came out like some other devs ... thanks mang.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Keighles:
Great rom!!!

I am running voodoo with no problems. Fast and snappy.

I did flash nitro's honeycomb theme.

Any chance of getting the framework from the rom? I would like to switch back. Unless I could just flash again without wiping data.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mig1234:
I have no issues with battery life at all. This rom runs great on wireless or 4g. It's one of the best roms I honestly have seen here. I did change the camera.apk to one on a web site under charge roms. This one can take a picture with the power button.

We need to give this guy time, guys.

This rom is fast, but it's also super stable. I am running it with lagfix_on and I'm getting a quadrant score if 1627 without touching the cpu. Just incredibly an awesome rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jjenkins2005:
is this Rom using the stock sammy email app? I HATE:mad: the ASOP email app esp after a week with the sammy app.. The search functionality is a blessing when using exchange!
[Verizon Droid Charge] mbaran:
I am using this rom and seem to be losing about 5% per hour at idle with FB and Google Sync turned on, GPS, WIFI, and BT off.

Any ideas...
[Verizon Droid Charge] avid.aria:
I actually meant, if I need to disable Voodoo before, or can i just leave it on ?

Update: nevermind, just flashed and its perfect!
[Verizon Droid Charge] IncrediblyDroid:
Great looking rom
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
any chance on seeing screen shot of the dialer..contact lists..and messaging?
[Verizon Droid Charge] goodfellajay:
where is options>preferences>advanced settings i cant find it
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
Click on the spare parts icon in the icon tray.
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
Just a quick update on the rom.

Quadrant scores runnning PBJ OC at stock 1000/100 setting, lag fix enabled... 1650-1700

-UPtime 20 hours 4 minutes, 30% battery left.

-79% display

-8% standby

-4% phone idle

-3% android system

-2% sensor server

Normal day of use. Probabaly 70% of the time in 4g. Phone lost about 9% over 7 hours of standby last night.

A few calls, texts, some browsing, emails checked and sent, 30 minutes of tether. No forced closes, or issues. Smooth and fast. My only changes to the rom were changing the density to 240 and the animations to "none".

Great work!

Edit:

Final stats from one full battery charge, same kernel, voodo enabled 1000/100 (dispaly set on auto):

24 hours 5 minutes

84% dispaly

6% cell standby

3% Phone idle

3% android

3% voice calls

3% sensor server

Not bad danalo, not bad...

im in spare parts i do not see it..
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
What settings are you looking for?
[Verizon Droid Charge] LowRentTechGuy:
Just downloaded and set up after running GB for a day. So far so good, gonna let it charge up and calibrate the battery and see how it goes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
i havnt flashed this yet (waiting on the download to finish) , but did you do anything with battery stats?

i keep hearing on various other threads about wiping battery stats or you get horrible battery. but when i flash stock roms i never have to do that and i get awesome battery.

anyway, just wanted to know if you did that or not. thanks :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] twistedlim:
I did the battery calibration mentioned earlier in the thread.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
charge to 100%

wipe battery stats

run battery to 2%

wipe battery

charge to full with phone off

wipe battery

use phone?

how do you guys get all that done in a few hours?

it takes like 10 hours to run the battery down and then another 2 or so to charge it back up

AND you said you have been running for 20 hours.

im confused! lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
I just flashed and followed OPs direction exactly

im stuck on samsung screen.

any ideas or should i just re-flash

Edit

I just reflashed and its fine.

Omg... this rom is AWESOME!!!!

Been on gummy and the gb rom.. and the wow factor of this rom is incredible.

Very very good job. I am def donating!
[Verizon Droid Charge] K.AuthoR:
I just installed this rom before I went to sleep last night, and passed out before I got a chance to mess with it very much. So far today it seems very fast and smooth. I had to go into CWM and re-enable Voodoo and then reboot it twice before I heard it re-instate it, but it's there and fast as hell now.

My only concern though, after about 5 minutes of normal use, moving around apps and whatnot, my battery (extended battery, btw) went down to 98%. That seems like a rather quick drain for such a big battery, so I'm going to charge it all the way up and calibrate it and repost with my results. I have high hopes for this rom, it seems very promising from everyone else's comments.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
So did you come directly from gb?

Sent from my C64 over PSINet using my new, super cool 1200 baud modem.

[Verizon Droid Charge] adm746:
A noob shot in the dark....So ive been browsing this forum for a few weeks and I think im finally going to flash my new droid charge tonight. I have been watching humble and the phrase "sips battery" just makes me happy. I would flash to GB but I can deal with the possibility of not receiving calls or other potential bugs--so ill wait. I am coming from stock EE4 (baseband version i510.06 V.EE4 SCH-I510.EE1 , Build number SCH-I510.EE4). From my two weeks of browsing I intend to do the following:

Before I rooted:

Backed up my phone with MyBackUp and Astro file manager. I also exported and synced all my contacts.

In order to root:

I will simply follow this thread but use Humble 1.33 Odin files instead of Altered Beast files to flash in odin. This should give me a rooted kernel (PBJ OC) and humble 1.33 rom.

After a successful flash, I will use imnut's Clockwork Mod Recovery and this thread to wipe data/factory reset, wipe Cache.

Now I should be rooted :). Hopefully I can restore some stuff with MyBackUp rooted or Astro File manager, but if I cant whatevs at least i have all my contacts.

Feel free to let me have it if im doing something wrong. Hopefully this will expedite other noob's first rooting experience.
[Verizon Droid Charge] storm81456:
I continually get FCs for anrdoid.acore.process everytime I try to get a sync after signing in w my google account. I'm coming straight from a rooted EE4 w lagfix. I installed via ODIN and did the appropriate wipes. I've since gone back into CWM and have wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache 3 times now, I even tried wiping davlik once. No luck getting rid of the fc problem. In the meantime, I can't get all my contacts synced. Any ideas? Pehaps try flashing the zip file from CWM? Reflash from ODIN?
