[Verizon Droid Charge] californiarailroader:
I am currently on Gummy's 1.8 GB, and I'm running EP1G. I take it you mean the EP1Q is necessary when moving to this build, correct?
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
You do not actually need the EP1Q radios to use GB. Some people have actually reverted to the EE4 stack because of the occasional distortion that the EP1Q ones have.
[Verizon Droid Charge] WilliamKingX17:
Does anyone know if the recovery is wiping my phone or the way I'm getting to the recovery? I've accessed the recovery both times through the Boot Options when holding the power button and each time it has wiped my phone and caused issues with EXT4. If I just turn the phone off and then hold Home and Volume Up to access recovery will it do the same thing? Even then, is there another version of CWR that won't wipe?
[Verizon Droid Charge] edwards2243:
There are issues with CWM and GB.. you're experiencing them, from what I've read. I don't think CWM is compatible with either the kernel or GB... either way, don't use CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] acetkbez:
EP1Q

For some reason the radios are not extracting as a .MD5? Any help here?
[Verizon Droid Charge] WilliamKingX17:
Then what am I gonna use to flash certain tweaks and packages?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
the two radios should just be a single .tar package, don't try to unpack them or anything... to be safe you may want to download them again, odin will recognize them
[Verizon Droid Charge] acetkbez:
Oh I did that, I just realized I forgot to hold the volume key down in ODIN when I did it, stupid mistake:(
[Verizon Droid Charge] bnsno1:
So everytime I have a missed call and I pull down the task bar and tap on the missed call I am unable to select any of the options! (call, send message, email ect!) they are all greyed out. any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
You can use an older Recovery that's been tested and confirmed not to wipe data.

Just keep in mind you cannot use it to backup/restore.

[Verizon Droid Charge] WilliamKingX17:
Awesome!!

[Verizon Droid Charge] WilliamKingX17:
Yep, I can confirm the above ^^ recovery will not wipe data and won't screw up your EXT4 Lagfix on GBE. Which is kinda neccessary to flash things like the vzwauthclient.zip for MyVerizonMobile and NFL Mobile to work.

I just rebooted my phone, and now I can't use messenger, I'm going to now flash FE 2.0, but I want to know what happened to messaging...

Edit: Just before I was about to flash, I got messaging back... Weird.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
WilliamKingX17, you said you were having issues with gtalk in the other thread? I can't find your post about it. So if you good restate the issue, I may be able to help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Fivecent:
Just wanted to put my two cents on this. I flashed the recovery mentioned and ran into a few issues.

First: The menus are missing the necessary "Go Back" options and none of the bottom row keys seem to do anything. This mean you need to battery pull / hold the power button after you do anything.

Second, and most important: After flashing an updated Gtalk package, it ate my root access. I'm going to try and poke around with some different recoveries, but I'm still calling this all broken.
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
The way we use to scroll the menu back was different on the older Recoverys. You have to keep scrolling down until it loops back around and you'll get a message saying it's enabled. From here once you go deeper in, you'll start to see a *go back* option on the bottom. If you play around with it, you'll get it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Fivecent:
Hmm, I see. I used to use a lot of older recoveries on the Fascinate, but I've never run into that kind of setup.

Do you think it's possible that the hard-reset was what was eating my root?
[Verizon Droid Charge] WilliamKingX17:
The hacked G-Talk app I flashed was one by XsMagical. I'm pretty sure you can find it here in a thread. I flashed it and I haven't had any issues with root, it has worked like a charm.

Sent from my GummyCharged GBE SCH-I510
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
Well it looks like William has flashed Gtalk using the same version of recovery without a hitch so it could very well be bc of the battery pull. Just try enabling the *go back* function and rebooting it as intended and let us know.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Fender890corey:
Ok I'm lost. I used Odin to flash Froyo gummy, downloaded voodoo control and made sure everything was ext4. Then I installed the EPQ modem. But when I install the GB Gummy I lose ext4 and voodoo control won't work. Any help?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
the ext4 should have stayed, and yes voodoo control will not work since technically that kernel isn't a voodoo one it just supports ext4... did you wipe anything before flashing GBE?

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] Fender890corey:
Data, cache,and dalvik cache.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Fivecent:
Just wanted to check back in. I enabled "Go Back" in recovery as instructed, flashed the Gtalk package and everything worked just fine, root and all.

Still no outgoing audio in Gtalk, but you can't win em all I suppose.
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
Yeah Im not even sure if the audio is sup to work or not in the first place as I don't use that function but im glad the issues in question were resolved. Chalk it off to the hard reboot. Good to know.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blacksparro:
So I'm getting system and data as ext4, but for some reason cache never converted from rfs... any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Fivecent:
Just do it all over again. Whenever I run into trouble, or something doesn't go right I find the best thing to do is just start from the beginning instead of trying to tack on fixes. There could be other issues and those will stay if you try to just fix from where you're at.

You may want to reformat with the Charge.pit when you Odin 1.91 as well just so you know that you're bone-stock when it does the Voodoo conversion.

Also, stay the hell out of Recovery unless you flash the older version that won't wipe everything and wreck your ext4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] specter491:
So the ep1q radios have to be flashed? The cwm zip doesn't include them?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yes they do, the zip does not include them
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
go into terminal

type 'su' <enter>

type 'mount' <enter>

look for /data rfs or /data ext4

also look for /dbdata, /cache and /system. All those should say ext4 if you're fully converted.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
^^ this

/system ext4

/data ext4

/dbdata ext4

/cache ext4

is what you should see in there
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
I did that on first boot and it was all ext4...

Just checking again... /system, /data, dbdata and /cache are all ext4. /preinstall and /efs are both rfs. We'll see here in a minute after the move is done. 35 minutes and its only moved 93/104 apps. Maybe I should have left /system as rfs? Not sure. Can you confirm if your /system is rfs or ext4? When I installed FE 1.9.1, it only converted /data, /dbdata and /cache to ext4. I used Voodoo Control to convert /system as well after installing FE 1.9.1

I've only run quadrant once so far, so that score could be an outlier. I'll try again in a few minutes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] specter491:
Forgive me if the answer is obvious, im not sitting in front of odin right now, but where do we put the radios under? Pda?
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Yes. The same one you use for FE 1.9.1 rom (PDA). While flashing it looks like it hangs at CPMODEM, but didn't. Be patient.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
well that sounds like a ton of apps/data to move so maybe thats the reason... don't worry about /preinstall or /efs but yeah the 4 I listed are all ext4 on my phone, yeah run quadrant 3 or 4 times it'll go higher and eventually you'll max out somewhere in the 1600-1700 range (mine hits almost 1800)

yes
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Er, wtf? Suddenly Tucson, AZ has 4G? That can't be right...? My data icon is 4G. Need a speedtest now.

Ok. Either Verizon just flipped the switch - like in the past hour - on 4G in Tucson or I'm getting a signal from Phoenix 100 miles away (obviously not the case)... Speedtest app reported 6836kbps down and 2314 up...

edit: Ok, now I get it: http://www.kvoa.com/news/verizon-launches-4g-lte-network-in-tucson-tomorrow/

Heh. I had no idea. Thought it supposed to be the end of the year. Yay, 4G!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
verizon just today I believe rolled out 4G in some places and expanded it in others, I believe tucson was one... run a speed test from www.speakeasy.net/speedtest on your phones browser for more accurate results
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Next Quadrant Scores:

All run one right after the other. Looks like lagfix is working PLUS I just got 4G. Nice night :-)

edit: Speakeasy speedtest reports 8.26 down and 2.51 up from Seattle, WA to Tucson, AZ. Other, closer cities were slower (due to load perhaps).
[Verizon Droid Charge] stranula:
Nice, congrats on the 4G! Welcome to the wonderful world of incredibly fast wireless internet
[Verizon Droid Charge] acgr4me:
I am getting force close's like crazy. I followed all the steps. Any suggestions? All of the google apps and the setup wizard. Can't get out of it.

edit: I am going to try and download FE again. Maybe I got a bad download.
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrep182:
Hey guys a noob questions. When you odin, do you leave the battery in or out? cuz in some cases battery is out, but there's times when people say to keep it in ... confused here =)
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Weird. Just wiped cache and dalvik in cwm for the heck of it and lost all my apps. Looks like I did a wipe data/factory reset, but I'm positive I didn't. now I have to reinstall everything and move it again. Three steps forward, one step back.

I kinda wish the system would auto-restore my apps from the market, but it rarely does that. Ah well. That's what TiBu is for.
[Verizon Droid Charge] acgr4me:
If I am not mistaken you put the phone in download mode with the battery out and when you choose your file and are getting ready to press the start button you put the battery in. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
I always reinsert the battery before flashing. I've never had a problem when I do. The only times I've ever had Odin fail on me is when I forget to put the battery back in after getting it into download mode.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yeah I'd try doing all the steps over again, sounds like something didn't flash right or it was a bad file
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Have you tried rebooting? Also, try going into cwm and wiping cache and dalvik. Then try doing a factory reset. Then try reflashing. Any one of those could fix the problem. They're listed in ascending order of wiping thing out on your phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] acgr4me:
Yeah must have been a bad DL. Waiting for the download to finish. No worries. I have time.

Forgot to thank Kejar, thanks for a great ROM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrep182:
sounds good, I'll do just that, thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Heh. My phone is now officially way faster than my home internet. Can't get cable and stupid dsl is max 1.5mbps at my house. Found a line-of-sight wireless carrier that is 2.5mbps steady with 5mbps bursts at a fairly premium price. Now my phone hits over 8mbps. Wish I could just use my phone for my whole house which is dumb, but...
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yeah I know most people don't have the time and it's a bit extreme (a last resort usually), but a fresh wipe and reflash will fix like 99% of problems people have with roms
[Verizon Droid Charge] thewanton:
So theres no way to use voodoo soundfix? Even with buying the full version it didnt work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] acgr4me:
Yeah I used to be the kind of person that dreaded doing a data wipe >.< but I got over it. It takes 10 minutes to set everything back up. Phones runs better after a clean install for sure.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yeah I tried as well and no go..
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrep182:
ho ho ho this is money, everything was installed just fine and I'm liking it. Thanks Kejar!
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Something weird just happened as I was about to go to bed here tonight. I had just gotten everything working great and all set up. I decided to flash the new 8/17 recovery which went fine. Then I rebooted. It booted up and after a few minutes died due to battery being out of juice (I've been doing alot tonight and even plugged into the computer it just ran out of gas finally). Took it into the bedroom and plugged it in. Got the grey empty battery with the progress spinner then in the middle but it hasn't done anything. Usually if i run out of battery, that grey empty battery comes up, the spinner spins for a few seconds, then I get another battery symbol that looks the same, but there is a green progress meter that shows the battery being filled. That's not there at all. Its like the battery isn't charging, which would not be good. I'll take this moment to run back into the bedroom and see if its changed yet... time passes ... No change. I got it to boot into cwm though and wiped battery stats (I know this is not the right time to do it for calibration) and rebooted the system. Showing 13% charge now (?). Its like the power off charge indicator is not working perhaps?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
its not good to let the battery drain to complete zero, as its also not good to keep it plugged in at full 100... from what I've read the phone always keeps a little residual power in the cells even when 'dead' but the phone may have trouble reporting percentage until its been charged fully again, doing this often can damage the battery I think
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
I certainly didn't mean for it to drain itself off, however all the tips I've seen on calibrating the battery call for going to 100% while on, then turning the phone off and bump charging it repeatedly until it will show 100% within a few seconds of being plugged in. Then turning on and wiping battery stats, letting it run to dead and then charging it to 100%. Repeatedly by some accounts...

Also, how can it be bad to leave it plugged in when charged to 100%? It notifies at 100% (although stripped out of most roms), and stops charging. I charge overnight and it hits 100% and stays that way until I wake up...? You think that's bad?

Perhaps I don't understand what you're trying to say.

But to follow up on my earlier post, when my phone is off and charging I am now getting no indication of charging at all. Just the empty grey battery with the spinner indicator which doesn't spin. It look frozen. Is that just me? If so, I may need to reflash because I can't think of anything else to do to fix that. It does appear that it is in fact charging while off, but the phone looks like its frozen at that grey battery.

edit: In fact, when I unplug my phone that grey battery indicator doesn't even go away. I have to pull the battery or turn the phone on to get it to go away.
[Verizon Droid Charge] IamIkari:
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all those involved. I wish i could thank more than once.
[Verizon Droid Charge] phillthedrill:
Ok, I just have to say that no it doesn't hurt the battery going to down to 0% and having it turned off. That is the way you would normally calibrate it. Older batteries, used to have a memory problem that when you didn't run them down, they wouldn't always charge all the way up or something. I forget the kind of batteries but the ones our phones use don't have that problem. The other thing is that once it's at 100%, the charger stops charging until it goes down to 99% if it's still plugged in, then it charges back up to 100%, like when you leave it on the charger overnight, this is a normal process. It never overcharges it. No worries there. The problem you are having may require that you reflash because all of those icons and battery indicators come from the rom themselves, so if it's not reporting something right, it's something to do with the rom. You've already tried clearing out the cache and delvik? If so, I would try to reflash again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
Dang, only system is ext4, how do I fix this?

Edit: Going to reflash, to see if that helps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Its not the gingerbread icons that aren't working right. Its when I'm powered off and plug in to charge - which I can just never do to avoid the problem. When I'm powered off and plug in, I get the large battery icon pop up on the screen that would usually show a green progress bar inside that battery showing the ... well progress of charging. Unfortunately, now that battery is grey with a circle of dots that would normally spin for a sec then start showing the charge. It is freezing at that grey battery and I get no indication of charging or battery % at all. Its weird but not catastrophic. Just keep it on while charging.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Drewman46:
Hello, I plan on doing this tonight but have a quick question. Inbetween steps 3 and 4 where I flash GummyCharged GBE 1.9RC2.3, does wipe data imply clearing the cache or doing a factory reset. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Just the factory reset should be fine as it clears both data and cache
[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
the menu button used to "wake up" the phone....with this build we have to use the slider....is there a fix for this?

thanks!

PS...in settings about phone..what should it read of we have this build

thanks again :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] xderekaustinx:
It's so smooth now. Great job. This rom is now 100% more usable. Fantastic work
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
How do I enable lagfix, when I go in, it says it is on by default, but it doesn't say it is on?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
I am a little confused at where exactly you are at... I really dont even know what you have loaded, are you on FE and need to verify that lag-fix is enabled, or are you finished and want to verify?

please let me know what step you are on or are having issues with..
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
I have FE and want to know if lagfix is enabled.

You can also download Voodoo Control from the market if you don't already have it. It will tell you and let you control if you only want /data, /dbdata and /cache as ext4 or if you want /system ext4 as well.

CWM does not report or control Voodoo correctly at the moment. Don't trust it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
Thank you! I was in CWM wondering why it was acting weird. I did the su mount, and only system was ext4 once I went through everything.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Hmmm. Something weird gong on for me here. I am certain (as I can be from starting at 10:00 last night) that after i installed FE I had ext4 on /cache, /data, /dbdata and /system - with a little help from Voodoo Control. After answering that question again (see above) I decided I'd check it out again in Terminal.

Looking now, I find /system on ext4, /data on rfs, /dbdata on ext4 and /cache on rfs. /preinstall and /efs are on rfs as they always seem to be.

Huh. Looks like its time to start over. Something went wrong last night that I somehow missed. Ah well. Maybe this will help my charging issue as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Use Voodoo Control and set it to convert the other partitions.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
I set it to convert, I rebooted, and "Status: lagfix RFS only" in lagfix preferences I have Ext4 conversion and Ext4 /system checked, I rebooted again, and /system is the only one Ext4 again.

Edit: Anything I change in Voodoo Control doesn't change, those were checked by default, and I tried to check Lagfix debug mode, and then I exited the app, and went back in, and it was unchecked, still only system Ext4.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidnewb2000:
if you do multiple flashes like described in the OP do you need to reboot the phone prior to the next flash? Or can you just flash one after the other while in download mode?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
Once you flash one it automatically should reboot, so you don't have to do anything, just go back into download mode to do the next flash.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JeepinHank:
Somone else should probably confirm this, but I'm pretty sure a reboot is needed between flashes.

Also, can anyone confirm that this process will be the same on a bone-stock, un-rooted device?
[Verizon Droid Charge] blackhorse221:
Updating to 1.9RC2.3 from 1.8.5

Is there any way to update/upgrade from GummyCharge 1.8.5? Or do I have to go through the whole process of download, copy to SD and flash from there?

Also, is anyone having the .acore process error with 1.9RC2.3? I've been getting that occasionally and have to re-flash in order to fix the problem.

Lastly, what is the best way to quickly backup/restore all my apps? I hate the idea of having to re-download everything that isn't pushed down OTA. Am I somehow not using Titanium Backup properly? I know I can use that to restore an app's settings, but I've had to download the apps by hand.
[Verizon Droid Charge] phillthedrill:
Yeah I knew what you meant before. I know it's getting those indicators, the green progress bar or grey that you're talking about from the rom. It's all software based which is in the rom. I just think it's something, some glitch somewhere in the rom that's not letting it work right. If you decide to reset, wipe data and reinstall the rom of your choice, I would think it would fix this problem.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
It should be the same because ODINing wipes(I think), and should be the same, no matter what you come from.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
Do you have the free or pay titanium backup?
[Verizon Droid Charge] charlie_c:
The upgrade I used was from 1.9.1, not sure if you can upgrade from 1.8.5, but to be on the safe side, I'd probably do a clean install of 1.9.1 via Odin and then go from there.

Can't speak for everyone but I've been on 1.9RC2.3 for a couple of hours without any errors or FCs.

Titanium Backup (paid version) can backup apps and data separately and restore apps and data separately. I did batch backup of apps + data and then after installed 1.9RC2.3 I've selectively restored Apps only.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
You can't update anything (and keep data) to this, because you have to wipe.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
I generally reboot between flashes even if I really don't 'need' to. Just makes sure that if something went wrong, I have some idea where. I generally even wipe cache, dalvik and do a factory reset before and after flashing these days. Just makes me sure there's nothing left floating around. Probably overkill. You mileage may vary :-)

Also, this should work 100% fine on a bone stock Charge. The FE 1.9.1 has kernel, recovery, modems and roms all baked in. Then you flash new modems, then the newest rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] charlie_c:
Sorry, I just meant prior to installing GC GBE 1.9RC2.3 I would install GC FE 1.9.1 first, not try it from 1.8.5.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
Just reflashed everything, made sure I followed all directions exactly, and still /system is the only Ext4. Am I the only one having this problem?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
Ok, hope it works well for you, and you get everything to Ext4 (I still can't).
