[Verizon Droid Charge] Shogun_Iggy:
I loaded 2.3.6 about a week ago and was happy. I have been using the gummy roms mostly. I was happy about the speed and improvement in comparison to stock. Once i got gummy 2.0 gbe i was very happy but there were still some seriously annoying bugs...but superfast, battery life wasn't terrible either. Once i flashed 2.3.6......what an improvement, phone is pretty perfect now. I am still fine tuning....i have FINALLY decided to stick with dolphin for my browser, its just made perfect for android....i have been using xscope, its very fast but it lacks smoothness. The biggest improvement i have noticed is definitely the radio, quick GPS lock, transition from 3g to 4g are fluid...huge. I have learned to like the "poop & pumpkin",reminds me of Ubuntu....oh yeah, i flashed the 4.0 kernel. I however got curious with all the chatter going on over there in the humble thread and flashed humble 5.0, my battery life took a dump...i didn't change anything, maybe i did something wrong...i formatted the big 3 etc...i dunno....maybe someone could shed some light...all i know is that i am back on stock 2.3.6 and loving it.

Sent from my Samsung Charge / GB 2.3.6 / imoseyon kernel 4.0 with voodoo everything / launcherpro & dolphin browser....very fast!!, no overclock!
[Verizon Droid Charge] aliensquale:
I have gummy 2.0 rc1.5 installed. Is there a better rom out there? How about an updated gummy rom that uses the new 2.3.6 version?

Gummy was flawless for about the first month I had it... Now my phone seems a bit slower.. Buggy... And the gps takes forever to lock.

I have titanium backup installed... If I switch to a different rom do I need to manually reinstall all of my programs, settings, home screen layouts, etc.?

You could always try a different theme for the color.

Maybe calibrate the battery. Mine has always sucked no matter what I was on.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trebores1:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you lose HW acceleration with Dolphin Browser - I find that despite the loss of features such as tabs and whatnot, the stock browser is much faster on the Charge because Samsung has modified it to use HW accel - mapping the page via GPU to a polygon rather than software rendering as a 2d image.

Second - I find battery life to be pretty bad on this build too. I'll take it though since the performance is so much better than previous builds. And it really varies greatly from day to day - some days are ok and on others the battery makes it half a day (with similar use). I doubt flashing to and from humble caused that for you.

GPS for me is so-so - took about 1:30 to lock last time I tried it.

Anyway, this build is a huge improvement for me - since flashing it, my desire to throw the phone at a wall has decreased ~ 99%.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Shogun_Iggy:
I'm pretty much happy with the stock theme until i see something i really like. My battery life is the best it has ever been with 2.3.6 with the 4.0 kernal. Radio is on point too.

I got 17 hours on my last charge - 2hours active bluetooth audio stream and constant 4g/gps/wifi radio use. 35% screen brightness with the smart screen turned off in the phone display settings.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SO_dank:
Been running a while love it..lately tho I've been getting audio lag sounds Like skipping when this happens the screen freezes for a sec any ideas
[Verizon Droid Charge] svzurich:
I was listening to Doubletwist today while checking the internet when my phone froze and rebooted itself. After I resumed playing my podcast, the screen froze with an overlay superimposed, and would not respond. I pulled the battery and it booted up just fine, with the audio skipping two times. Overall an odd bug, but not nearly enough to spoil the 2.3.6 experience.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
That's been a common thing for me on the GB builds from the beginning. It's gotten better on the later builds. I've found that a cache wipe in CWM usually fixes it. Something else you can do is use an OC app like SetCPU or Tegrak to increase your minimum clock to 200MHz. It doesn't affect battery life that much, but it helps smooth things out a little.
[Verizon Droid Charge] milky7272:
I am on the TBH 2.3.6 and is running great I flashed the vodoo kernel earlier thru CWR. How can I tell if this Kernel is working it say kernel is 2.6.35.7-ep4 does this mean I have the vodoo lag fix? Sorry for the post but I come from the x2 and have never flashed a kernel. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
if voodoo lagfix was enabled by the robot lady on first boot after you flashed it then yes, if you aren't sure use a root file explorer of your choice to find the text file 'kernel_version' and open it then it will tell you what kernel you're using... also you can download the terminal emulator app and type 'su' and hit enter then type 'mount' hit enter and all the four main partitions /system, /data, /dbdata, and /cache should all read 'ext4', or the voodoo control app can tell you as well

as for the kernel version in about phone settings it will always say that since technically its just a hacked up stock kernel, so Imoseyon can't change what it says until he gets kernel source
[Verizon Droid Charge] milky7272:
Thanks, I learn something new everyday. I still have my x2 and i love it, and but I just can't put this charge down.

This is an absolutely amazing ROM.

I installed it the day it came out and I can't say enough good things about it. I am also using Launcher Pro Plus, imoseyon 4.0 and the ICS Fuju tweaks. It is smoking fast (way over 2000 in quadrant) not a single FC and no lag whatever.

My GPS locks in about 5 seconds and the camera mod with the power button shutter makes this an almost PERFECT phone.

I am also using this theme with it:

Corp. email

Ever since I installed 2.3.6 I have yet to get my corp. email to work, anyone else have this problem? The radio is great but my battery life sucks. Running rooted stock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] edl415:
Thank you!

First post here guys. Just wanted to give thanks to everyone in this community, I've had a stock Droid Charge since June and was ready to throw it out the window. But after reading these forums and upgrading to 2.3.6 with 4.0 and the other little mods it has completely transformed the phone. No FC's, no lag, great battery life. I'm a heavy corporate user so it needs to be fast and reliable. No problems now. Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 07:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 AM ----------

I have the same setup, rooted stock. Corporate Exchange mail works fine for me. Did you check your server and account settings?
[Verizon Droid Charge] GoAvs:
I've had that problem with previously with DarkCharge. No matter what I did, I couldn't connect to the server. Reflashing the ROM fixed it for me...
[Verizon Droid Charge] PowerUp69:
I have not had any luck with corp email. I recently had 2.3.6 stock coils not get it to work. I then flashed 2.3.6 rooted same thing. It worked fine before the up date used the stock corp mail. Now can't get it to work have even tried marked apps and still no luck. It was a breeze the first time I set it up.

[Verizon Droid Charge] mrpickem:
OK, back 1 week later after installing this rom. No real issues, everything works. Battery is just soso. I don't like how it drains the battery when idle/asleep. Overnight my battery goes from full to 75-80% just sitting for 6 or 7 hours.

Other than that, I'm happy with the rom, best I've tried yet. :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrtruckincowboy:
Turn your data off when sleeping it will help with that the phone will still get calls and text.

If you need data on and have wifi then switch to that it uses a lot less power than the data modem

pretty nice stock rom, smooth and fast though it drains battery a bit faster than a custom rom.. looks great now with the themes we've got going in theme section but my god the amount of bloat (that I took out myself).. I booted up for the first time and literally said WHYYYYYYYYYYYY WTF

[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
Is there anything in 2.3.7, beside Google Wallet, that we should care about? I'm just thinking, the OTA is taking so long to go that maybe they just update the code-base to 2.3.7, provided there's so additional benefit (since we don't have NFC).
[Verizon Droid Charge] tracyt:
i am on stock EE4 rooted with peanut butta jelly time kernel, but i want to have the gingerbread 2.3.6 leak. can i flash it with odin or is there something else i need to do also to make it work? thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] aliensquale:
Go with humble room 5.0
[Verizon Droid Charge] ffd173:
Yes. You can flash it with odin. Follow the steps in the op. It includes the rom and radios. Just choose bloated or debloated and deodexd. Add cwm and your favorite theme!

Good luck!
[Verizon Droid Charge] didureboot:
The issue im having is that after a few hours it starts to slow down majorly. The more I do, the slower it gets. If I dont free up the memory and close all tasks it will eventually lock up and reboot its self. Im running 2.3.6, Imoseyon 4.0 kernel and LauncherPro. I have also tried Go Launcher EX with the same results. I've been running like this since november 7th(the day the release was posted up) hoping it would smooth its self out. Tried emptying the cache and DALVIK, but it's still happening.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ffd173:
Try backing up (titanium recommended) and starting over. Reload the rom and cwm and then restore your backup. I am running the same setup and it works great. Maybe just a glitch in yours.

Good luck!! :D

[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
No, there hasn't been a build yet. Aside from Google Wallet (which we can't use without NFC), is there any reason we'd want it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
If you use this ROM with imoseyon's 4.0 kernel (& whatever theme you like) it is really the same thing as Humble 5.0.

I am running this ROM & kernel + the coredroid theme (I prefer this to the Humble look) and with FuJu tweaks etc. it really flies. My Quadrant score is well over 2000 and I get no lag or FC's whatever.

Humble runs great also (I have used that also), it really just depends what you want it to look like more than anything.

[Verizon Droid Charge] jburnette87:
My problem is I'm om humble 5 with Imo 4.0 and it's still pretty laggy, I'm very new to the charge(bought from xda member Monday). Maybe I'll give this rom a try today.

Mine just started a constant round of hotbooting. I was running the bloated deoxed version. I am now backing back down to 2.2.1 factory for the OTA release. I loved this build, but I have no idea what started the hotbooting, and it won't stay up long enough to let me get Titanium Backup running to troubleshoot.

Thank you again for this release TBH. I am just sorry that mine developed an issue, and will try the OTA version now. I look forward to your future releases with interest, and thank you for convincing me to try rooting out. :)

The kernel version in About Phone will not change. Check /kernel_version to see if imoseyon kernel is installed. The theme on this is the same as EE4 version.
