Yeah I believe the latest CWM from imnuts (4.0.1.4) resolves the issue. I've been in and out of CWM a few times today and haven't had any issues. Granted I havent attempted to create or run any restores yet.
[Verizon Droid Charge] laughingmom:
Thanks - it was easy, just a few minor tweaks here & there once it was going again. I was prepared to pull the battery - had read that from a few others so was watching for it to just stop. And I had seen the CWM bug info as well - thankfully. That's the most useful one to know. Would hate to have that happen.
[Verizon Droid Charge] TSAElement:
I believe imnuts newest CWM over here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112804 should resolve the wipe issues.
[Verizon Droid Charge] laughingmom:
Thanks for the info. Anyone used it and know it's OK?
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrtruckincowboy:
I'm using a old cwm the red one and it doesn't wipe also the voodoo function on that one works

Yah - I'll get right on that. I've always wanted to play russian roulette with my phone.

I have a question about your signature... 2.2.1 Gingerbread? Uhh, I think you have a typo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] orrin77:
Over all, this beta has been very solid for me. The only issue I have to report is that Google Talk won't run. It opens up to a black screen for a couple of seconds, then closes and shows a force close dialog.

I'm running with the stock theme. I tried to restore a backup of the gtalk apk from a known working copy and got the same results.

Otherwise, its been a great experience. Thanks for the ROM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I don't plan to make any changes til the new and improved Gingerbread rom comes out. By that time CWM will probably be all straightened out. I really like my phone a lot now. Too bad Samsung couldn't have made it run this good. We wouldn't have to void our warranties in order to have a good phone

Dear god just realse gummy 2.0 already!!!!!!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I found this on another forum. I tried to paste the link but they wouldn't let me til after I do a few more posts. So I just copied and pasted the instructions.

"In your terminal application on your phone (if you have to ask what this is, Google it, download it from the market)

su (enter)

echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop (enter)

reboot (enter)

If you want to undo what this command does, simply remove that toggle from: /data/local.prop, or if you did not have this file (like I did not) prior to the mod...remove it entirely"

Since I did this my phone never redraws. :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Ok then I won't chance using it again til there's a fix. Thanks. :) Like I said I'm not planning to change anything. My phone is working too good to mess with it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Ok I'm about to show my noobness. Is CyanogenMod a replacement for ClockworkMod? Could it be used instead of CWM?

Update: Ok I just found out CyanogenMod is a ROM. Is Rom Manager a viable alternative?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Goronok:
Not quite :) Cyanogen is a custom firmware, there isn't really a "replacement" for CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I see. Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Goronok:
rom manager can help you flash CWM to your device, but isn't a replacement either. It is actually preferable to flash CWM from an odin package though. (eg. - imnuts' CWM thread)
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Ok Thanks again. Maybe if I ask enough questions my noobness will go away. Noobness sucks. :o
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:

[Verizon Droid Charge] THEhomelessONE:
I did all the steps in the first post but lagfix won't enable in CWM and on terminal it isn't ext4 either. I repeated the steps but same thing happened. I had ext4 on EE4 roms. I also tried looking for the disable voodoo folder but didn't find it. Everything else is running perfectly though thanks guys!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
CWM voodoo options don't work, use the voodoo control app if you need to enable/disable lagfix plus the 'disable-lagfix' file is a file to put in the voodoo folder to disable it... As for the ext4 working, you're not alone as there's been a lot of people who couldn't get it to stick. To be completely honest, you're not missing out on a whole lot without ext4, the rom is pretty smooth and fast by itself. I posted a second set of instructions somewhere in the first few pages, they're a bit longer and more work but they will 100% get it running with ext4
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
Tried getting into the toolbox and its telling me its not found. I also tried updatetb and it tess me not found.
[Verizon Droid Charge] laughingmom:
See ROM thread - no toolbox on this version.

"This is an RC release it is only the base of what will be the complete release of GBE... That means it does not include any tweaks or the toolbox or TSM.. All of which will come to this ROM "
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:

[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Search XDA for "V6 Supercharger script". It does a lot of memory tweaks, including making your launcher hard to kill.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GreenMunky:
I followed the directions and so far no redraws. Thank you very much.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidnewb2000:
is there still no fix for the wiping issue associated with booting into recovery?

I have flashed things via odin before but the FE 1.9.1 is in a tar.md5.7z format and odin isnt picking it up. I know its a simple fix probably but how??

Download 7zip and extract the .tar.md5 file, then it will work in Odin.

Does it matter that Im on the latest Gummy GBE? Will it remove ext4 and revert me back to rfs?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
Gummy Charged 2.0 FE

Tweeted on kejar's twitter an hour ago - "GummyCharged FE 2.0 just went gold.. Themers still need to port their themes and I need to update the toolbox.. ETA 48 hours" If you are currently planning to flash this, I would wait, he will probably get it to GBE relatively soon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dapperdanman55:
thx m8 it worked
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
no its an odin .tar file so it won't affect anything but CWM and there's no need to go into CWM and risk a wipe to install it

[Verizon Droid Charge] 911junkie:
Argh. Getting acore FC's. They pop up and then go away without clicking on them but annoying enough I have to flash back to stock. Can't seem to get any luck with these ROM's.

FWIW, I did a full wipe. Flashed twice in case there was a flash error. Cleared storage, data, etc. All to no avail. :-(
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Gummy always gives me FC's for a bit when I first install it, but I've always found that just being patient and waiting it out will cause them to go away. I've never had them continue past 10 or 15 minutes after first boot. I think there is just so much going on when a device is first installed, that the processes can sometimes look unresponsive to the process manager, so it tries to kill them, and once all the initialzation is done and everything is running normally, it doesn't get bogged down anymore.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
7/31/ does not wipe?

Hi the 7/31 recovery does not wipe data and convert format to rfs if you go into recovery?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
here it is, unzip it and use odin
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I don't know for sure, some people say it works for them without wiping and some say it's the same... I posted it for anyone to try if they wanted, but be warned it may still wipe/revert your phone :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
If anyone else is trying please post the results, else I will try later and post the results and see how it goes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
Just an FYI if it helps decide on your next move..

So unless you're willing to wait a bit more, ya might wanna think about moving back to FE
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
I've already done so too. I flashed back to 1.9 FE last night, mainly cuz my files were converted back to rfs. :mad:

I tried the 7/31 CWM, It coverts /data and /cache to rfs , does not wipe data completely though...I guess I will wait to FE 2.0 Gold to be released.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
do you mind explaining the process you took to get to the 07/30 CWM?
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
here is what i did

I followed the OP first and then after I booted into GB with EXT4, I turned the phone off and opined the 7/31 CWM and then booted the phone into CWM did nothing and rebooted again and ext4 was gone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] griffis:
Nolock now works

Glad that nolock now works with this release, especially for answering calls... Much more convenient.

Thanks for the good work!:)
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
I assumed you had a typo and you meant to say you Odined the 7/31 CWM right..just wanna make sure so others know
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrtruckincowboy:
the recovery that works for me is from the altered beast ee4 rom I odind that got voodoo enabled and used the kernel cleanup then flashed gummy. . have no problems with recovery wiping and recovery shows voodoo active properly on that one
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
so would we be able to ODIN that CWM directly on top of Gummy GBE 1.9RC2.3?

Can you rip it out?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
It is the original CWM from jt1134 found in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1092114

And yes you can odin it at any time. Just don't use it to restore nandroid backups as that function is broken.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
I found that one out the hard way today:mad: I just got done reflashing back to 1.9.1 after attempting to make a recovery for my current state
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
If you make a titanium backup, reflashing isn't that big of a deal.

Sent from my CM7 Nook Color @1200mhz
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
well i never use Recovery to backup/restore in the first place, that's why I have TiBu. Just would be nice to boot into Recovery to do any number of other things..

EDIT: I ODIN flashed the CWM from the thread above and confirmed it's the same red flavored Recovery that mrtrucking previously mentioned.

Went back into recovery and rebooted and data as well as EXT4 file system intact!

So if ya need access to recovery, albeit a build that's a few months old but working nonetheless, use this as a workaround.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddemlong:
I know, I do have TB installed, its not THAT big of a deal as you said, but I do like all my stuff to work JIC.

I agree CWM backups can be better most times, unless going to a new rom, so I'd use both if it worked. (Already momentarily bricked my phone)

I use Launcher Pro and like it a lot. In the stock launcher I removed everything from the five homescreens. How do I remove the four screens that don't need to be there?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
with the stock launcher afaik you can't remove any of the five screens.. if you still want the stock GB look and the ability to add/remove screens you can download a GB theme/skin for whatever launcher you use, launcher pro has a few I think

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] orrin77:
FWIW, another alternative to the default launcher is ZeamLauncher, which I have found to be fast and easy on memory. It's minimalistic like the default launcher, but with a small, but good set of tweaks, such as being able to manage the number of home screens.
[Verizon Droid Charge] converge12:
deleted.....
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Thanks. I was just hoping to have a little less going on in the background and maybe reclaim a little RAM. It's no biggy though. I haven't opened CWM Recovery since I set this up so everything is still intact. I love the way my phone runs. It just scored 1595 on Quadrant.

The reason I bought the Charge when I did was all the threats of the tiered data plans coming from Verizon. I figured there would be better phones coming soon. Sure enough they've ended unlimited data but I am grandfathered into it. Just like they said, the phone turned out to be a little too laggy. But, having installed this my phone doesn't seem laggy any more. In fact it's quite zippy. Good job guys. :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] atomicmonkey15:
how can i verify that voodoo is installed?
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
Please take a few moments to go back and read the first 3 pages of the thread. Your answer is there, I just checked personally.
[Verizon Droid Charge] atomicmonkey15:
thanks i figured it out, also for the radio should it say EP1 ? mine doesnt say EP1Q
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
As long as it says EP1, you are fine. The 'Q' just references the build revision.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GreenMunky:
Okay, since doing this I haven't had a single screen redraw, however, I've noticed that when I'm listing to audio (i listen to audio books on my commute to work) I'm starting to get stutters and brief periods of choppiness while listening. Don't know if this is related or not, could simply be corruptions in the .mp3 files. Anyone else notice this? Would the SuperSmooth script help rather than the method listed above?
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Music sounds good coming from my phone so I really don't know. The way I understand it, that script makes the phone keep the homescreens in memory. I know there's a setting for it but they said it doesn't really work. Maybe you could disable it and see if it helps. I kinda doubt that's the problem though since my music sounds so good.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
I was playing around with adb stuff, and I ran "./sbin/recovery.fstab" it went into recovery and did something that I didn't have a chance to see, and when my phone rebooted, all my data was intact. Does anyone know what that does?

Combined edits: I was able to run it once more, after a reboot, after it had rebooted out of recovery. I am not able to run it again, although fix permissions seemed to help with an occasional fc of some apps. I will reboot again, and see if I can catch a video of it... *sigh* can't get it to work again.

Edit: A little bit of googling showed that .fstab "typically lists all available disks and disk partitions, and indicates how they are to be initialized or otherwise integrated into the overall system's file system" I understand everything now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chessmaster W/nook:
Does fix permissions work through rom manager?

Could this be because we're running an unofficial build? I remember seeing a passing remark, by kajar, I think, about editing some system file to set the build number.

http://www.stickchop.com/charge/build.prop
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Ok. Now this is complete guess work on my part and I have no idea if this will help or not, or even what the results of this will do. So if you are not prepared to Odin for whatever reason, do NOT try this until it has been tested and proven true. I am not responsible to what happens to your phone.

You can try changing:

ro.build.PDA=SCH-I510.EP1Q

ro.build.hidden_ver=SCH-I510.EP1Q

to

ro.build.PDA=SCH-I510.EE4

ro.build.hidden_ver=SCH-I510.EE4

Try one first and then the other, and then both. If that doesn't do it then there are other values that could be changed.. I saw before that people had to edit a few things to get Game Loft games to work, so that is the principle I'm going on. Make sure to backup your build.prop first!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] paul25rs:
Hmm. no go. I guess I'll wait for the next update and try again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Ok. Like I said it was going to be a hit or miss thing. It's either a problem with gtalk working with the build number or it's a framework issue.. It may even have to wait until GBE 2.0 is released.

Hi.. I followed the directions to a T.. My phone had the ext 4 in all 4 areas. i flashed the 1.9c2.3 and everything was going well until i turned my phone off. Now it is stuck on the samsung logo, it will not even boot.. I tried to use odin and when i connected my phone via usb, it is not even recognized!PLEASE HELP!

You're in a bootloop. Relax. It's fixable. Turn off your phone, take out the battery and open odin. Connect to your computer and hold volume down. After you are in download mode, put the battery in.

My question is: Since I applied this rom I definitely can't accept an ota Gingerbread update from Samsung or Verizon, right? How do I stop that from ever happening?
[Verizon Droid Charge] WilliamKingX17:
Hey Kejar, fantastic ROM! Especially coming from POS Touchwiz. Just had a quick question. I'm running Voodoo and RC2.3 and I know for a fact that the filesystem is EXT4, I've checked it in Terminal. The only issue I'm seeing is when I back out of an application it takes about 2-3 seconds for the apps on the homescreen to repopulate. That's pretty much the only lag I'm seeing and didn't know if there was a quick fix for it. And I don't have but 3-4 apps on each homescreen if that makes a difference. Cheers.
