just curious.. does anybody know if this GummyCharged GBE 2.0 RC1.5 is the ACTUAL release of the soon to be Over the Air update from Verizon to Gingerbread? or onces this OTA verizon update comes out... will we need to install yet another new ROM ?

my girl is getting a Droid Charge new today.. and I was wondering if I should put her right onto this GummyCharged ROM today or if I should wait a couple weeks and see what new Verizon OTA update for Gingerbread comes out for this phone?

my phone is running smoking fast and great battery life on this ROM.. so far very stable... 4 days counting thus far.. not issues yet with this rom.. much better than stock EE4 Foyo

Anyone have the Samsung VVM apk for me to flash or odin? I am missing that feature without the toolbox. Hopefully it will work. I can't stand calling in VM.

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] junksecret:
I'm not certain if I am going to keep the ep1w modem, has anyone "extracted" the modem only from EE4 as they have from the Gingerbread leak?

Thanks,

No, this will not be the official OTA update from Verizon. Verizon is just a "safe" choice, so to speak. If you want performance, full customization, and freedom... load this on your phone.

I would definitely load GummyCharged on her phone. I have been using GummyCharged for a month or two after I got my Droid Charge. I would have done it sooner, but I was just busy.

The only reason not to root/rom your phone is voiding the warranty. But, here's how to fix this.

1. DROP the warranty from Verizon

2. Get a Warranty from SquareTrade.com (use a coupon code from RetailMeNot.com)

3. You are still covered with a warranty on your phone, no matter what you do to it, and it's cheaper than doing it monthly via Verizon.

I've loaded HumbleComb, AlteredBeast, and GummyCharged on my phone, and GummyCharged is the best by far. This should be the stock ROM. lol. You might hit a speedbump here and there, but just come back to the XDA forums and you will find all the help you need. Questions are fully answered by very knowledgeable people... smarter than calling Tech Support, I guarantee.

I hope this helps :)

Thanks!

To be safe when I made the switch I odined EP1W debloated. Then odined the lastest CWM. Then flashed GBE through recovery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dhenryrmu:
I'll keep the modem, but I'm not sure it's better than EP1Q. I have to reboot occasionally just to get signal again. Good luck with your rollback to EE4.

I've noticed something odd with my battery indicator. Occasionally, I will notice a rapid discharge on my phone. But when it gets down to around 29%, it will creep back up to around 39%, slowly... as if it's plugged in.

Has anyone experienced this?

It's $99 for 2 years, if you buy it within 14 days of buying the phone. If you buy it after that, it's $149 for 2 years. It included accidental damage protection, such as water or dropping it off of a cliff. They will fix any issue for free, as long as it's not water or abuse. If it's water/abuse, there is a $50 deductible. I have a friend who has washed his phone in the washer twice, so this would have saved him if he actually bought it! He didn't listen!

There is a 5-day guarantee. If they can't fix it within 5 days of the claim, they will mail you a check for the full value of the phone. So, if you get a Droid Charge and drop it in water...obviously they can't fix it. So, you give them $50, and they give you a check for retail value ($599), so you can go get a replacement... or a phone of your choice.

So to summarize, $99 works out to $4.15/month over 24 months. $149 works out to 6.20/month over 24 months. And it includes water damage.

Also, when thanking... try to click "Thanks" instead of just saying it. It feels nicer lol. :)

[Verizon Droid Charge] aliensquale:
great info on the warranty... one question however.. which I don't understand... when you buy the Droid Charge brand new you get a 1-year MANUFACTURER'S warranty from Samsung... so why do you need to pay for the first year of the warranty through a third party company? I asked the same question to Verizon about their Assurion insurance that I'm paying $7 per month for... I asked why I have to pay for the insurance for the first year one the phone when I have that 1st year warranty through Samsung.. the OEM.. I never got a really good answer from the Verizon rep.. so I'm still a bit hazzy on this...

thanks again!

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

you know.. I may have to agree with you on this one... when I first installed GummyCharged 2.0 RC1.5 I still had the EP1Q modems on the phone from the Over the Air EE4 upgrade I got from Verizon some months ago.. .my phone was all stock until I put the GummyCharged ROM on it.

so I was running the GummyCharged Rom for a few days with the EP1Q (EE4) modems... and I was getting almost a full day of pretty moderate usage on the phone (well moderate for me anyhow)... prior to the ROM install I was basically charging the phone half way through the day.. so the GummyCharged Rom made a HUGE battery/performance difference.

Then just 2 days ago from reading about how I should install the EP1W radios.. I decided to do just that.. I Odin'ed the EP1W radios.. all went well... and for the last couple days it seems that my phone does NOT get the same battery life as I was getting with the EP1Q modems before... still too early in testing to know for sure.. but my feelings are that the EP1Q modems had better battery life for me (take note that I am ONLY in a 3g area.. no 4g around me so my phone never hits 4g service).

Now the question is.. can I safely go BACKWARDS from the currently intsalled EP1W modems to the original EP1Q modems that were under the Froyo EE4 over the air update? if so... is the Odin process the same?

where can I get the download file for the EP1Q modems? thank you all very much!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] ccy9:
does this rom include task manager? Just noticed it is missing.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Nope, EP1Q modems didn't fix anything. There's something within the ROM that's eating resources or something. I'm down 8% in 2.5 hours. Usually it takes 4 hours for that. Also noticed that the RAM is always above 300mb, which is horrible.

Voodoo Sound Improvements

Just installed this ROM and noticed "Voodoo sound improvements" is not supported. Can anyone tell me which kernel I need to install to get Voodoo Sound Improvements working? Or if there are other solutions I'd be happy to check those out also.
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
You need to buy Voodoo Control Plus app in order to get it working at the moment. Native sound can not be supported until the GB source is released.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Atheron121:
there are 3 permissions you need to confirm in the notification dropdown. Once you do that, Google Maps will work like a charm.

[Verizon Droid Charge] hokulus:
Did these files work for you? I am unable to make them work. Tried installing them from root explorer, tried copying them to /system/app, and tried installing them from /system/app. No dice, they won't install. As much as I love this ROM, not having VVM is a deal breaker. Anyone been able to get VVM working with GC GBE 2.0 RC 1.5? It worked fine with GC GBE 1.8.
[Verizon Droid Charge] aliensquale:
what does this Voodoo sound thing do? I have DSP manager installed via this ROM.. but how is Voodoo sound different?

one thing I would like is to have the phone output LOUDER sound volume over Bluetooth.. I noticed when using bluetooth in the car.. the FM radio is WAY louder than the phone's Bluetooth sound output.. and I have the bluetooth volume ALL the way up on the droid charge.. I just wish the droid charge could output LOUDER sound so when I switch from FM radio to Bluetooth I don't get BLASTED out of the car via the FM radio or CD player..
[Verizon Droid Charge] zeus_r6:
Its going to be interesting to see if the EP1W radio improves my data connection in my home...before I could only pull 4g in two spots in the house which were right near windows...this should be awesome for signal strength testing since I'm just in the "extended" 4g area. Hope my terminology isn't too far off as im relatively new to rooting :)

Are you sure that paid app will work? Last time I tried it it didn't unlock the sound improvement features and I don't think I can get it refunded again if it doesn't work.

got my girl a droid charge today... the SIM card is bad in the phone.. waiting on a new one... is it safe to root and install this ROM.. plus the new EPW1 modems while I am waiting on the new SIM card?

or do you really need the SIM card first before you do any of this rooting/rom stuff?

please note the phone has the ORIGINAL verizon software installed on it right now...

Baseband Version: ED1

Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9

Build Number: ED2

can I go straight to this GummyCharged ROM from the stock verizon software listed above?
[Verizon Droid Charge] moemoney12:
does this rom support wifi tethering
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
Make sure /system is mounted RW before placing in /system/app then reboot.

These aren't meant to be flashed via CWM. Just extract and manually place in /system/app (make sure u have correct permissions) and reboot.

Yes. That's probably because last time your kernel didn't support it. IMoseyON has worked directly with supercurio to get his kernel working with Voodoo app and confirmed the paid ver has a module that opens the sound features.
[Verizon Droid Charge] octomobiki:
I skimmed a couple of pages but didn't find it. I'm running a search on my phone now looking for the "mobile hotspot" application that comes from Verizon, (as I do pay for it each month, please don't ask me about that) - however I am unable to locate that application within this particular ROM.

Was it removed or moved someplace? if moved, where to? if removed...anyway to get it back? :)

This rom started out great but is going downhill fast!...at least in the battery department.

Unplugged for 1h 43m 47s and i'm down to 73%. Haven't done anything on the phone besides turn the screen on to check the time.

What could cause this?

Dialer 10%

Phone Idle 6%

At this point any "antivirus" apps are completely useless tbh. HTC is usually very good about patching exploits and all of the known android malware either used exploits that were useless on our phones from day one or took advantage of people not paying attention to what permissions it used. The only other way to get access is for someone to use a zero day, which an antivirus wouldn't recognize anyways, or for them to make an app that asks for SU access and then does whatever it wants once you give it that.

Not to mention without SU the antivirus app itself will be extremely limited in what information it can find about other apps and no power whatsoever to block a rogue app that would have SU. All the malware would have to do is close the antivirus and it couldn't do a thing about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
I never thought about that. Now that's a good reason I would accept instead of the usual templates given.

Is there an AntiVirus program that requires SU?

Ya Antivirus on your android phone is a useless application and only eats up crucial resources. like Haus said, without su permissions its not gonna do anything and even if you were rooted, it could just close the antivirus and go forward. Only paranoid or the uninformed use one.

Can I use a memory card to extend the memory? and can I have a one in the tablet and one in the dock? 32+32+16(tablet)?

When using the dock,it drains the dock battery first,then the tablet itself?

Is there a headphone jack on the dock?

Are there any homescreen replacements?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AcIdC0R3:
1. Expand the capacity not the memory.

2 It's suppose to do that.

3. No

4. ADWLauncher EX, Launcher Pro

Hope this helps. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GetPatriotized:
Yeah,memory capacity :)

Thanks. Is this a good tablet to start with?

Been wanting the iPad 2 for a while but it lacks features. Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Sony's Tablet S were also on my list then the Eee Pad Transformer caught my eye.

Dock (16 hours) and memory card expansion are SOOO GOOOD features I like. Is the new EeePad slider a successor to this? (in terms of performance)? I want this tablet to be future proof and last a while until I get a new one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleached45:
To elaborate a little:

Yes, you can have a microsd card in the tablet, a standard sd card in the dock and even plug in flash drives or hard drives to the usb ports on the dock.

I don't actually have the dock so I'm not too sure but I believe it drains the dock battery first and the dock battery actually charges the tablet. It has something like 16 hours of battery life with the dock.

The dock doesn't have a headphone jack but the tablet has one on the side so docked or not, you can get to the headphone jack.

I haven't used any homescreen replacements in honeycomb, but I keep reading the ones for phones work (launcher pro, adw, etc).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AcIdC0R3:
It's an excellent tablet to start with, not just for the price but for the fact that you can convert it into a netbook by adding the dock. In turn you get 2 USB ports and a full size SD card reader that will give you even more capacity and of course an extra battery which will give you a total of 16 hours of normal usage.

I started with the Viewsonic g-Tablet and the very first thing I did was to root it and throw a custom ROM on it which I went from Froyo 2.2 to Honeycomb 3.1.

The Eee Transformer caught my eye because it had HC 3.1 natively and I had to have it. I looked at the Galaxy 10.1 and it's slim design and it would have been my primary choice if it had the capability for capacity expandability. It also had a $500 price tag instead of a $400 like the TF.

I didn't really give the Sony or the Slider a look because I was already sold on the TF so maybe someone else can elaborate on those tablets pros and cons.

By the way, congrats on your new TF. I'm sure you'll have hours of enjoyment with it. :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud1111:
1.Yes, the dock also has 2 usb ports, which makes it easier to transfer files or for the extra storage space.

2. Yes it does, and if the tablet is 50% battery then decide to use the dock, and battery power in the dock is transferred to the tablet in case you want to undock it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GetPatriotized:
