[Verizon Droid Charge] siphyn:
Charge owner here. I love the Charge. It's lightweight, the screen is amazing, comes with tons of storage, and batteries and accessories are cheap for the phone. The only negative things I have to say about the phone is there is no notification LED (I previously had a Droid X and I love having an LED) and lastly the lack of ram.

Yes, the Charge has 512mb of ram. The problem is that only 328mb is available for apps. This is due to the way Samsung has the phone set up and I'm guessing the rest is used for the GPU? Anyway, there are times when I'm using the phone and the phone slows down or has to redraw due to insufficient memory available, it doesn't happen all the time, but when it does happen it's very annoying having to wait. The phone is new though and hopefully Gingerbread will help in the memory department. Also, the Droid X2 is set up the same way, allocating more memory for the system and gpu, and people complain about slow down on it as well compared to original Droid X that has another 100mb or so of ram available for apps. Other than that, when the phone is running fast it's phenomenal. Yes, 800x480 isn't the highest res screen out there, but you simply can't compare to the insane contrast and amazing colors it produces. Do yourself a favor and watch a movie on one if you can, and you'll see what I mean. You'll be spoiled afterwards.

I had a tbolt for 2 months, and while it was a good phone, I came from an incredible, and it really just seemed like a bigger Inc, there was nothing that screamed 2011 instead of 2010....that said, it eventually began rebooting so often that i had to get a replacement and thge replacement didnt it too, so i decided to try out the Charge as a stop gap until the bionic or sg2 came out. First thing I did was install launcher pro cause touchwiz was bad, and after that i was satisfied to the point I might not even move tot he bionic or sg2. I love how it is so much lighter and the screen is so crisp. The blacks are so dark you cant even see where the screen ends sometimes. I have rooted and installed pbj and gummycharge, but to be honest, it was fine with just launcher pro. The other thing I dont like about the charge is the back cover is very scratch prone, mine has scratches just from being in my pocket....
[Verizon Droid Charge] Turb0wned:
Well, not sure if I made the right choice but I switched back to the Thunderbolt. Couldn't deal with data issues, YouTube buffering that never happened on the thunderbolt.
[Verizon Droid Charge] allchannels99:
I love my thunderbolt!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Strothmann:
I have them both. I like the charge over the bolt because of the screen and battery life. The bolt has more devs than the charge. That would be a deciding factor for me. yes the charge is over all a better phone, XDA devs have made improvement to the bolt and in my option has made it a better phone.

god bless root
[Verizon Droid Charge] Samsuck:
just got my droid charge today. ive been using a thunderbolt on cm7. hopefully aosp love will be on here.

excuse my name. i came up with it when i had an samsung epic with its gps woes and 7 month wait for froyo. i had to go back to sammy. damn amoled... .

main reason why i switched is the texas sun. cant see a gotdamn thing on the thunderbolt and if i increase the brightness well my battery will be garbage
[Verizon Droid Charge] crazyhtown:
If you root the thunderbolt is better imo. Unless you work outside a lot, the screen on the charge is a lot eaiser to read.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Samsuck:
Lol. You're from h town. Me too. A thunderbolt outside is horrible to read
[Verizon Droid Charge] SigmunDroid:
Um, so you basically regurgitate spoon fed (mis)information without

conducting what we call "Due diligence" in order to ascertain if what

was said is fact or fiction? Wow. You might want to become a journalist

with those fact checking skills there bud;)

My girlfriend has the T-bolt.

-32GB card

-768 RAM

-the 8 GB's of internal storage (not RAM) is more closer to 2.42...

While the charge *only* has (after all installed system components) : 1.17 GB

(of Internal storage memory) NOT RAM

The charge offers

:

-32Gb as well

-ONLY 328 RAM free (after the difference of 512 is allocated for system resources)

See that?

Don't repeat what you've heard as fact unless you have SEEN the actual

figures...k?
[Verizon Droid Charge] SigmunDroid:
No worries, but I've never experienced buffering on youtube or any

flash based player. I'm even unrooted and using EE4.

I dig the T bolt, almost bought it.

But I know someone will design a better battery door for the Charge...

No 2 phones are alike and it's always possible a poorly spec'd phone was pieced

together with parts that were inferior compared to others.

Bad ram can affect performance as well as a CPU that isn't up to par.
[Verizon Droid Charge] willpower102:
What in the world are you talking about? You think they just slap together any old parts? Performance tolerance in manufacturing is incredibly tight. You might get a FEW bad registers on 5% of all snapdragon processors ever made, with may 1% of them being out of tolerance.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mwhartman:
I'm not sure I understand. I just visited the VZW web site and compared the Charge and TB.

Here is a screen print (Charge on left)

Memory	32 GB Pre-Installed / 2 GB onboard 8GB eMMC - 768 MB RAM

It sure appears the Charge has more storage. What am I missing?
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
The two specs you are comparing are not the same.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mwhartman:
Sorry I was not able to edit the post.

The comparison on VZW site listed memory for the Charge as 32 GB Pre-Installed / 2 GB onboard

And for the Thunderbolt 8GB eMMC - 768 MB RAM

I understand the eMMC relates to the SD card and I imagine the 32 GB is the SD card.

What should I have compared? I really need help deciding which device to purchase thus the reason for the comparison.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mr1581:
The battery on both is subpar, but hopefully with new software coming out, that will change. I have had the thunderbolt and I have a friend with the charge. I'm not a huge fan of samsung's customization.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SigmunDroid:
Incredibly tight? Prove your claim.

Let me know when you've found that empirical data pal. Fact is we have similar phones that do not perform the same. Do you really think performance is identical across the board?
[Verizon Droid Charge] SigmunDroid:
Look man. You obviously do not have either phone, be it Charge or T bolt. I have both.

Why you are confused is very confusing...believing what "Verizon" says over first hand accounts seems pretty naive considering the company you're in here at xda....

Both phones come with a 32Gb external SD card...

RAM= random access memory...

The T bolt has 768...

The Charge has 512... (both values in megabytes)

After the Charge's system gets done with the RAM...

328 Of the 512 is free....

As far as internal storage goes:

The Tbolt only has about 2.42gb free...not 8gb...

The Charge has 2GB but actual usable is 1.17

Does that clear it up?
[Verizon Droid Charge] SigmunDroid:
Why have you not taken a walk to your nearest Verizon retailer and compared the phones for.yourself? It's much more rewarding to find out these kinds of discrepancies on your own.

I couldn't see the point in an expensive case which may add lots of bulk and weight like the otter case. The above seem to do the job well. I feel i ccan take this to a meeting without looking like I'm carrying a gadget. It is well built covers everything has adjustable angles. Arrived quickley in the post. A nice magnet holds the flap in.camera seems free.only very minor gripe is that it willneed a small hole made for charging when closed. Anyhow I am veryhappy with it.

I just installed a bad kernal so my phone isn't booting up. When I try holding volume down and power it goes to HBOOt and tries flashing the PG file. I cancel that and it tries booting rom. I can't get into recovery !!

PLEASE HELP
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the kid escobar:
Remove the pg05img file from your SD card with either another smartphone or a card reader on your comp, then you can try it again and it will go into recovery.

my phone is in hboot now and recognized by the pc. I need the pc to access the sdcard but the device doesnt have drivers. how can i get them?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootandBoot:
Put the sd card into another phone or a memory card adapter into your computer would be the easiest way. and dont forget in the future to delete or rename that PG05IMG file right after you flash and it boots.

[Verizon Droid Charge] inferno1:
My wife and I currently have 3G phones on an alltel plan, I was under the assumption, after a few talks with customer service, that I was unable to get a 4G phone on my alltel plan, but the verizon (store) rep just told me that I could...

We were going to get the incredible 2 because I want a FFC to video chat with my two young kids but now it seems I can get a 4G phone, but need to decide soon as they are about to go to tiered data plans...

So my question, how well does the video chat work on the Charge? Has anyone done it between two charges... is the picture pretty clear and sound insync?

And with the 4G off, can I easily get a day out of the battery (unlike my incredible I have)?

thanx for your help...

still trying to decide between the charge and the revolution, but leaning towards the Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] pH_:
There are not many mainstream video chat apps out there right now. Video chat should be coming to skype and google talk soon. Because of this I have yet to do any video chatting with my phone.

Obviously battery life varries greatly from user to user but I get at least 8 hours with everything on and a decent amount of usage (I don't place many phone calls though).

Nice work! About to flash.. will I be able to flash back to original somehow.. Or would just flashing the mikrom over the top cancel it out?

Looks great. It seems we can't flash the zips from the original post, but can only flash those that you are providing, right? If that's the case, can you please provide versions of the colored regular rings (red, blue, dark blue, orange, etc...)??

Thanks - looks really nice.

Yeah man, no problem. Ill have links up later tonight. I have to go for a family walk with my wife and kids, and as soon as they get to bed ill port and link them. Definitley will be up tonight.

Don't flash that rom its for an evo, mikG2.15 is for the evo... The one your looking for and the rom I'm using is the mikshifted-G executive theme rom. Its in the evo shift section... On page of the mik rom (its one of the first threads in the development section) page 121, or close by, BrandoKC posted a link to the rom. Its amazing! All the rings I posted are for that rom...

Your welcome. :D and I'm only gonna port over a few of the sports teams and some of the "flashier" styles (pending owners approval)...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sargorn:
Status: ONLINE and Updated 12/Jul/12

With so many GB roms coming out lately I often can't wait for xxx custom rom developer to update to xxx rom. For the last month or so I've basically been using customised stock roms. (My own AOSP theme, choose a kernel, change a few apks).

One of the first things I do after flashing a new rom + kernel is cut down on some of the bloat in /system/. I more or less remove everything that can be downloaded (for free) from the market. When they're downloaded from the market they often go into /data/, leaving more breathing room in /system/.

As always, backup and be confident with restoring your phone via download mode or CWM.

SGS Chlorine (mobile)

SGS2 Chlorine (mobile)

SGS3 Chlorine (mobile)

What this does:

This is a little bit of PHP that will generate a customised CWM update.zip which will remove specific apks (and associated .odexes).

Usage:

* Choose which APKs you want the update.zip to remove and hit the Generate button.

- You can also select a preset to save some clicking.

* Copy the generated .zip file to your phone.

* Apply it with CWM.

Thanks:

The list of APKs was grabbed from the public google docs spreadsheet.

The SGS2 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet

The SGS3 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet. XDA thread

Notes:

* The APK list shouldn't let you remove anything 'vital' to booting the phone.

* I've tested it myself pretty extensively and used it for the last couple of stock roms released. However, there may be bugs. Let me know and I'll attempt to get them fixed!

* If you have any particular ideas for good presets, also let me know and I'll see to adding them.

* You can remove TouchWiz (TouchWiz30Launcher.apk) with this. However, if you do that without having another home 'app' installed, bad things may (will) happen.

what a great idea
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FuryriderX:
Wow, definitely going to try this. Thanks!

EDIT: after generating a .zip and looking at the generated script, it deletes .apk and .odex files. Will this throw an error if used on a deodexed rom? Maybe an option to select whether the rom is odexed/deodexed would be a good idea? Just a thought.

It doesn't throw an error. Just double checked.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] theos0o:
Great!

Suggestion: you could add a text input field (possibly user could press a button to get more text input fields) so that users can remove some other (not pre-defined) APKs.

Don't know if it's of any use though.. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sargorn:
That should work without any problems. The update-script won't complain if the files deleted are not there to start with.

I can see it being useful if you have a specific apk that usually is installed with your CSC. I'll look into it when I have a chance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wonsky21:
If I understood well, it works on odexed roms?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sargorn:
That's right, the update-script removes both the .apk files and the .odex files.

So as long as you have CWM it will work on odex or deodexed.

Ok, so domo arigato, as they say :)
