[Verizon Droid Charge] mkarps:
Dont know if its just because of this modem. But I've flashed back and forth a few times and my phone seems to shut itself off on this modem. Hasn't happened yet on EE4. One time after restarting I had a missed call in the log .
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
Currently on 1.9.1 and wanting to flash this, 2.0 is released today, will there be any issue with the upgrade to gummy 2.0?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
It will work just fine. You shouldn't see any issues.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
Thanks Hazard, I was just reading the last few pages about people having issues.

I know a few people are claiming higher speeds and some are claiming lower/poor call qual.

Anyone near PHX that can chime in?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
Well, flashing now, I'll see how it goes. In phx I can get crappy or get good coverage, its really hit or miss at times. Usually its 8-10, maybe 2-3 up....

Seems the same so far
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
Speeds tests, I don't care about speed tests. All the speed test results in the world mean crap when your phone can't hold a stable data connection.

Many of us over on AndroidForums.com and the Verizon Community Forums have complained that you could be browsing away on either 4G or 3G and inexplicably the phone will shift to 1X and then nothing. Eventually the data connection will come back but only after some time while the phone "thinks" about it. It will also sometimes not regain the connection after you've had the phone's "Mobile Data" disabled for some time, it's like the data modem doesn't want to wake up and smell the coffee. Sometimes it will even show you've got a 4G connection but good luck using it, it will simply show it transmitting data but getting nothing back and will sit there like that for several minutes. Eventually it will shift back to 3G.

That's what I'm talking about. This is highly annoying and people are *****ing Samsung and Verizon up one side and down the other. You should see some of the threads over on the Verizon Community Forums, it's almost reached riot conditions over there because of the amount of people complaining.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
These modems have held up fairly well for me so far. My speeds are actually a tad slower than when I had EE4 radios but as you mentioned, doesn't mean crap if you drop connection. I've never noticed an interruption to my data yet. The phone seems to be handing off between 4G and 3G a lot better than before. It hasn't even had to switch to 1x yet (which it was on almost half the time with the EE4 radios)
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
yutzybrian, I'm assuming that you have that radio firmware flashed to your phone. How is mobile phone call quality? Another thing people have complained about are dropped calls or calls with no audio on EE4. That too has caused many threads over on the Verizon Community Forums to reach near-riot conditions.

Needless to say, Samsung and Verizon needs some major public relations damage control over this phone. This phone has a lot of complaints about it all over the Internet. Their name is as good as Mudd when the comes to this phone in the eyes of many in the Internet community.

Oh, and can someone post MD5 checksums for the downloads as well? I'd like to make sure that when I download these files I get good files so hopefully... no bricking.
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
Oh I hear ya brother. That's what I've been telling people in this thread. This radio was never about data speed. It however is all about less "hunting" between 3g/4g/1xrtt. It does seem to have voice quality issues but who actually talks on their phone anymore? I know I rarely do. So to me these are much more stable data wise, less reliable voice wise, but overall much better than EE4 stock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
Say I decide to flash the EP1Q modems to my phone, is there a way to go back to the EE4 modems?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hiien:
Yes, the EE4 modems are linked somewhere in this thread, but I'm too lazy to search. In any case, if you don't like the EP1Q modems, you can just reflash the EE4 modems back through ODIN.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
Loaded the EP1Q modem firmware on my phone. It's not perfect, in other words it still transitions to 3G in areas where there should be 4G coverage but I figure that there's nothing I can do about that and that Verizon has to fix the 4G coverage in my area.

On the other hand, this modem firmware does seem to transition from 3G<->4G much cleaner with less issues. Though it's not perfect, it's far better than the EE4 modems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
I hear that, have you tried speed tests yet to see if DL and UL have increase?

Before I was averaging arount 8 DL and 2-3UL... My downloads since have increase to average around 12, uploads arent really faster, but seem more consistent in getting that 2-3. B4 sometimes I would have like random drops of .5-1 UL
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
No, I haven't tried yet but I honestly haven't figured out how to take a screenshot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
Dowwnload shootme from the market
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
shoot me hasn't shown up for me in the market lately idk why... drocap2 is another nice one, I like the fact that you can set holding the search button down as the screencap button (since I don't use it anyway) and it has the same timer and shake triggers as well

[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
trying going through android market on your PC then hit the download to phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yeah I've tried that and nothing.. no big deal I like drocap too

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
weird, looked under my apps on the PC and nothing, not even listed as downloaded, makes me a lil suspicious as to why all traces where removed.

Apparently, the developer of ShootMe (@belgianwaves) has removed the popular app from the Android Market. ShootMe was the most popular screen capture app for Android and, more to the point, was what we use for all of our screenshots. ShootMe is a fantastic application — that’s why we use it.

The reason? In my opinion, hurt feelings. According to a post on The Droid Guy (@thedroidguy) the developer writes:

“…currently the amount of spammers/haters (or whatever you want to call them) have grown up to a level it’s not worth any more to invest my sparse free time to. Some of these people are not ‘susceptible to normal reasoning’, whatever effort you put in explaining why rooting is needed. So, i’ve put SM [ShootMe] currently on ice to give me some time to reflect about its future…”

What? Are you actually arguing that internet trolls have influenced any decision in your real life? Moreover, are you actually complaining that users of a technical product are idiots? Are you 12 years old? These two basic assumptions form the basis of the internet and any tech related job or endeavour.

Look, there’s a difference between deciding that you’re not longer going to offer any technical support or even deciding you want to monetize your application or add advertisements. You know… good, rational, non-emotional decisions. But deciding to take your toys and go home after a few folks hurt your feelings is a weak move and, really, just enables all the idiots who clearly don’t know how to use this application.

The truth: No one can make you feel bad except you. Unadulterated honesty, not giving a damn what other people think and being tough are a core part of our style on Android Static, and I’d call the ShootMe developer to do the same. And if you need any help doing that — just let us know how we can help.

[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
well that explains it.. as I said drocap is a more than suitable replacement

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
Yeah its ok. Shoot me was def a better app imo. Drocap if def better than the other ones out there tho.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Am I missing something? Why use any third party app when you can just do Home + Back?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
The stock back/home screen capture doesn't work on this Rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
I did flash EP1Q radios to my phone yesterday and they work great, even voice calls. I was on the phone last night for almost two hours and not a single drop of a call, no muted audio, no static, no nothing; just a perfect phone call. I have to say that that was a far cry from what I was getting on the stock EE4 radios.
[Verizon Droid Charge] :
Help!

This is failing for me every time. I've downloaded it 3 times, and flashed 3 times in ODIN. Can anyone help?

Screenshot attached so you can see what I'm seeing...

EDIT: SOLVED by CaptTrips over at RW. The solution was to take the battery out, get into download mode, PUT THE BATTERY BACK IN, and then flash the modem. Thanks to CaptTrips!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
put the battery back in for odin and uncheck the 'auto reboot' option... when done unplug the phone, take the battery out then put it back in and reboot phone like normal
[Verizon Droid Charge] laughingmom:
On GC FE 2.0? I just used it....
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
Weird after I flashed it no longer worked.
[Verizon Droid Charge] laughingmom:
Just tried it with a few different apps & screens & no problems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
I dunno then. That's why I dowloaded shootme from the market. I can't get mine to work again
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
Never have hit this high on EE4 radio
[Verizon Droid Charge] xjedi:
Works on my GC Ginger.

I am a relatively new member thus I cannot post a new thread in the android development section. nitroglycerine33 feel free to update this thread with the new package if you'd like, just thought I'd share this with everyone. Enjoy.
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
Just so you know, the modem is already linked in the EP1W TBH Public leak thread in the dev section. 2nd post on P3roid's main thread.

This is a mod to change the page-like app drawer style of sense to a free floating scroll style similar to AOSP, launcher pro and other home replacement drawers.

A huge thanks to coiledwire over at themikmik.com forums for helping me with what would need changing and where to look.

Also a special thanks to newtoroot for making such a great rom and for all of the hard work he has put in!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] undertakerli:
will this work with rmk's gingersense ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ruvort:
I'm honestly not a 100% sure. I would have to look at the files. If you want to test it I would make a nandroid first and then flash the mod.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] undertakerli:
after flash how can I chose app drawer ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ruvort:
I'm not sure what you mean. After you flash it'll be your regular app drawer but you will notice it will scroll without stopping at "paged" increments.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
It seems as though he doesn't understand what u did? Great job though!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ruvort:
Thank you sir :) it was actually your work that inspired me to mess with sense edits myself as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trock79:
Care to share the edits?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] waderb77:
Anyway we could get this on Virtuous Unity, I would love to lose the pages in my app drawer. I can confirm that the mod as it is does not work with virtuous unity. Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ruvort:
Sure I can write the edits here later today

Okay. I will look into getting it done after tomorrow. I will be on the road all day tomorrow so may not have time till after.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] marcg611:
Flashed this through recovery and rom manager and it flashes quick, says successful but my app drawer is still incremental, which I hate.. on incredible sensation v2.0 w no other mods.. something im doing wrong? Thanks!

It does not work for me, either. Same thing, says it installed, boot up, still paginated. Stock incredible sensation.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EchoX860:
I don't have enough posts yet to post in the Development Forum, but I have a small question.

There are some .apks in the .zip file for DroidTh3ory's new M0N0LITHTH3ORY ROM that I'm not going to use like AndExplorer and Terminal Emulator, can I delete these, and there are also some .apks from another ROM I'd like to add.

Is it safe to do this?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kierandill:
Good question...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EchoX860:
Hmm, that's great! Except in the first line I said that I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH POSTS YET

Read next time!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenjeans:
You can delete those apks and add apks from something else, no problem. You will have to re-sign the zip before it becomes flashable again.

The easy way would be to flash monolith, and use something like titanium or root explorer to remove the system apps. To add apps to a running rom, you can drop the apk in /system/app, and change the permissions to match everything else. (XX_X__X__)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EchoX860:
Thanks! I did it this way, Open both .Zips on my PC, delete the ones I don't want, and just click and drag from another ROM. I take it that's bad?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
That's fine if you didn't extract them and zip them back up. I open the zips with winrar or 7zip and swap them that way with no problems, sometimes if your replacing an app delete the one you are replacing before you drag and drop the new/themed version.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stumpsalot:
If you completely unzip and re-zip the file will need to be resigned to be able to flash. The way you describe will work no problem.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
OK so... first we go to Gingerbread - I noticed the Green icons as the most changed, hardware acceleration and a few more tweaks and what not....

Now this morning I woke up ready to go to football practice, im taking a ****.. and i go on engadget and i see this:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/11/android-ice-cream-sandwich-pictures-leak-leave-us-cold/

I just go WHAT THE ****?

I understand its a alpha release, but the UI will probably not change from whats shown in that article anyways...

Can't someone come up with a better looking UI? I'm really starting to get pissed off, and I can't find out who to blame.. I'm guessing its Google because they make the OS and the default UI is that color...

Green to Blue

thats it? Thats the big new ICS?

*NOTE im not talking about all the other changes, i know there will be minor/major new things, but i'm trying to focus this on UI more than other things...

Are people just not creative anymore?
[Vibrant General] steini81:
This is an alpha release!!!

It is the pure Android UI. The companys like Samsung, HTC,...... will make there own changes like Sense (HTC), Touchwiz (Samsung) and this will change the look of ICS.

There are hundrets of different launchers and themes in the market so you can make your own style. And if this is not enough there is still UOT kitchen where you can change everything you like to.

And what about custom roms? Devs are working hard for us to get something new every week.

Its a little bit early talk bad about something that is not available yet for normal customers like us.

So what do you whant? Do it better if you can. But i am sure you can not!
[Vibrant General] Danstek:
What's the big deal? It's gonna change after official release not to mention the OEMs will put their custom UIs over it anyways. You can use 3rd party launchers or a custom rom. If none of that fits your needs then just get yourself an iPhone.
[Vibrant General] Dat Kid Named...:
Since u r more creative than them why don't you just make ur own UI
[Vibrant General] nevrlow:
lulz^ im sure there will be huge improvements in icecream sandwich.

To be ohnest if that's what ics will look like I don't think I'm that excited about it. I mean Ill love all the improvements and tweaks in it but I just don't really like the launcher.
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
It's not even close to done I read that the person who released it said its just Gb an froyo in one right now an small changes
[Vibrant General] Devi0124:
Android is a platform that makes anything you want to change possible...you don't like blue find a red theme... don't like red find a green theme... don't like anything out there.. find a instructional thread and make it your own... Don't like your processors speed... overclock it... Google (android) is awesome for that reason and I don't really care too much about official updates except that with each one it gives our devs something new to work with. If you don't take advantage of the open source community maybe an iphone is a better device for you. And I don't mean that in a condesending way. They look and run fine out of the box.. but it will never run better than the way you get it. I love my android... I flash rom after rom and theme after theme until my phone looks and runs exactly how I want it to.
[Vibrant General] JettyLife:
I'm not waiting for ICS ... I'm waiting for the custom roms to be ICS based

Anything from the factory will have bloat and other limits for sure.

Wait for a custom rom and call it a day.

[Vibrant General] Vibrant03:
And I thought it was supposed to look like honeycomb?
[Vibrant General] bfranklin1986:
Who the hell cares what it looks like? If you're on this site it's because you want MORE! MORE CHOICES! MORE ROMS! MORE THEMES! MORE CUSTOMIZATION! Everybody on this site will just change ICS to look like what they want it to anyway...
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
Truer words never spoken
[Vibrant General] RayG210:
I'm for changes, especially in UI. But how many other major mobile OS change from version to version? Not even iOS has changed much since it's initial launch to the latest firmware. The biggest advantage with Android is the possibilities are endless when it comes to customizing the UI the way you like it.
[Vibrant General] daniel91906:
can't wait for a newer version personally!
[Vibrant General] z0phi3l:
Am I the only one that looked at those pictures and thought FAKE?

Sorry but it looks like TW type launcher with a CM7 type color scheme, not much else, we all know you can make it say whatever version of Android you want it to have, and some are claiming that the kernel is just a GB kernel, not a newer one
[Vibrant General] vetvito:
Google is an engineer driven company, not design.
[Vibrant General] Mattymat:
I agree, I thought the same thing. I heard ics was going to have it's own theming engine which would render manufacturer's theming useless and unnecessary. The whole point was to make it easier to push the updates and save the manufacturers time. Just my two cents.
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
Ics will also have soft buttons like honeycomb. I'm guessing it will look nothing like this at official release.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnyva:
Hi,

I've had my Samsung Galaxy SII (GT-i9100) since around 10th of May this year. It came with a firmware ending with *1, but the first thing I did was to upgrade it to XWKE2 via Kies on my PC. That was a good firmware. I had no problems with it ... The only annoying part was that the camera made shuttersounds all the time, even when the phone was silenced to vibrate only. That was fixed in XWKF3 which I'm running now. The MAJOR problem with XWKF3 is that the radio/modem is ****ed up beyond recognition.

On KE2 I had like H or H+ all the time, and if no H/H+ I had E. Nothing in between. Now I see 3G almost more than I see H/H+, even though I'm in the same areas as before. Also when my phone goes toggling between 3G and H or stays on 3G - I do not have Internet access. It's like a huge "no route to host" appears on 3G, or if the phone toggles and cannot agree on ONE thing.

So I would like to upgrade the radio only. Why? Well I've been trough a few of the original firmwares from samfirmware.com and here, Mostly XWKE2 (which made my phone loop on boot), XWKF3, XXKG6 and XWKG3 (I think). Main problem with XXKG6 was that it didn't have Norwegian (for Swype or keyboard at all, but UI was present in Norwegian). Others was either looping on boot or I was using them to upgrade back to the original firmware (now XWKF3 with radio XXKE7 and XXKF1 for CSC).

Two questions ... Can I use Odin (I've got 1.85 as the latest) to upgrade ONLY the "Modem"-part? From XXKE7 to XXKG6?

Is there a way to get Norwegian Swype on the XXKG6? Maybe "keep" an older NEE-based CSC? Because .. Swype is a part of CSC not PDA/Code, right?
