Is there a way to disable the screen on animation? I can't stand it
[Verizon Droid Charge] coreysr:
I agree, I really tried to get this ROM to work for me but the battery life killed it for me. Even after several battery calibrations I was losing 25% with 1 hour moderate use. One time I charged it to full took it off the charger and it lost 40% in standby after 6 hours. I switched to tweakstock and I can't recommend it enough, battery life is amazing. IM at 45% now after 5 hours of moderate to heavy use.

anyway to get swype, program manager and file manager to work with this one?
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
Doesn't the Swype Beta work?

If you haven't ever used the Beta version, it absolutely crushes the Droid Charge pre-loaded version. Just register and download: http://beta.swype.com/

ok so i attempted to load this ROM, coming from gummycharged fe 2.0. i wiped data, cache, factory reset, etc... installed from the zip file i download which was 1211_infinity_tsm.zip i did not do the ext4 version because i was under the impression that if you are already on ext4 then you didnt need the formatter included? anyways, the rom said it installed correctly but when i went to reboot i found myself in a boot loop. i have been able to restore back to the gummy fe 2.0 that i was running. so did i download and attempt to install the wrong infinity rom? i installed using the following instructions..

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11175-rominfinityrom/page__st__380__p__296930#entry296930

the only step i didnt do was #1 since i thought infinity could read ext4. any suggestions on how to get this installed? also, using the voodoo control app to disable ext and convert back to rfs didnt seem to work. after i rebooted, i did not hear the voice that lets me know it is working. please help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
The non-ext4 version does not contain a kernel, and if you were on Gummy FE, then you were trying to run a Gingerbread ROM with a Froyo kernel. You probably also don't have the latest radios. My advice would be to go to full stock and let the phone update to the latest OTA (EP4). From there, flash CWM and then flash Infinity. That will get you on the latest radios (which you wouldn't have), the latest kernel, and the Infinity ROM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] leaveone:
well, i do have the EP4P radios, which i realize are a downgrade from EP4D, but i havent had any issues with them. so basically if i just download and install the tsm_ext4 version then i should be good to go?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Yea, that should work fine. There is a EP4D radio Odin floating around somewhere too if you want it. If nowhere else, I think it's on trparky's site at http://www.toms-world.org/android
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
just flashed it looks nice but the only thing that i dont like is there is too much space between the app dock where 4 icons are located(phone,contacts,text,apps) and the apps on the screen. And the dots that show on what screen you are is annoying. Is there any way to fix those. any input would be appreciated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterGunz:
...try another launcher?

Your problem, if I am understanding you correctly, has nothing to do with the rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
I get what you mean but i like TW4, Used the other ROM that had TW4 but it was slightly different. And some other roms have options to remove the page indicator. Thats what I was talking about. Is there any option like that?

If I wanted Launcher, I would use a launcher.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterGunz:
Find out specifically which version of TW the rom you liked had, and then install it on this rom.

Or take it out of the last rom you had and push it to this one.
[Verizon Droid Charge] leaveone:
i have been on this rom for about a day so far and have only 2 things to mention. first, it seems a little bit laggy from time to time. maybe its working out the kinks. secondly, handcent sms and the default messaging app do not get along at all on my phone. one or both would become unresponsive and i had to fc and then reboot to get things working again. i eventually uninstalled the default messaging app and handcent now works better but still not as well as it used to. any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Use a screenshot app. The built-in screenshot app was removed as it didn't work in most situations due to the button combo used.

Not sure why you'd have better battery life on stock as it has more stuff running in the background, but I never had any battery life issues.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MeltingHolster:
How would I go from the ext4 version to rfs? Just wipe and flash?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yes it will convert itself on first boot up, you'll hear a robot lady saying she's converting your partitions then it'll reboot and you're done

Annoying reminder on reboot

This ROM is great, but with any InfinityROM release, I have one major annoyance. If I have notifications pending and I reboot the phone (let's say I swap batteries), I get a very loud, annoying alarm that will start ringing as soon as the wallpaper is displayed, and will not stop until I am able to unlock the phone and pull down the notification slider.

Is there any way to stop this? I have been on GummyCharged GBE 2.0 for a long time because of this annoyance, but I would like to use InfinityROM permanently if the issue can be fixed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
This annoys the living crap out of me too! FWIW, I have had this issue on all stock ROMs, on Gummy FE, and on Infinity. It may have been removed (somehow) from Gummy GBE, but it definitely was still present on the Froyo Edition.

Anyone know what that sound is? How to disable it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] thac23:
Did I completely miss the 12/14 update? I thought it said 12/11 earlier today. Was there no post other than the changelog?
[Verizon Droid Charge] HTCluva:
I was thinking the same thing too
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
My phone was acting up and i flashed everything to stock. Then flashed it back to infinity and i lost root. any ideas how to get it back?

---------- Post added at 05:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ----------

this is the phone malfunction and lost of people experiencing that problem. Try to flash it to stock with pit file and flash it back to infinity and see if it helps.

P.S. your set up on your sig looks sick dude. how did you manage to make it look like that? I would love to know that. thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] dhenryrmu:
Unfortunately, I don't agree that it's a problem with the phone. I never experienced it out of box, nor with the GummyCharged GBE ROMs. Only InfinityROM and HumbleComb have this annoying problem. I have flashed my phone many many times with different versions of everything, Stock/InfinityROM AOSP, InfinityROM TW3/4, HumbleComb 3/4/5, to stock and back, to Gummy and back, nothing helps. :( I even tried loading the radios from working versions onto problem roms and that doesn't fix it. I can't even find the audio file for the notification anywhere to change/delete it.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Maybe Imnuts needs to do some DevSpeak with Syaoran/TeamGummy to see if they know how to resolve it? But, it might not be of concern since I'm sure ICS ROMs are probably the focus now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I don't think so. The source is $hit.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
I don't think we're going to be getting ICS or a good kernel at all. I hate to be the rain storm on everyone's parade but I think we're going to have to be happy with what we have at the moment (modified stock ROMs, repacked kernels, etc.).

As kvswim said, the source code (this includes kernel source code that Samsung gave us) is complete garbage. It'll compile but good luck getting a phone to boot on it. Samsung left some critical stuff out of it, or at least left out an important piece of the puzzle (imnuts said something about some kind of config... something) and without it we don't have a working compiled kernel.

I commend imnuts for trying, I really do; but he's only human, we can't expect miracles from him and I understand that.

I'll be saving up money from now on to get another phone at this point.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dhenryrmu:
Source being sh!t or not, the work that all of the devs for every rom distro is fantastic. I don't expect ICS anytime soon, but what I meant is that perhaps people are "trying" to focus on ICS. But no biggie.

ICS is the future so we might as well get phones that have it/support it. Right now, the best choice is the Galaxy Nexus... which I don't think is the best choice. It's a great phone, but I want to be able to insert an SDCard, I like gorilla glass, and they have yet to develop a dock that will use the ellipses port to charge/sync/etc.

Instead of saving up money for a phone... get a SquareTrade warranty with Accidental Damage Protection. Once your phone has been accidentally left in your pocket while your clothes were being washed, you can get another phone. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
I understand your concern and fully recognize that you did not have that problem before. I work for verizon tech and i have replaced multiple devices with this problem. I have talked to dumbest people ever, who did not know how to master reset the phone. Most deff they could not root or flash a rom but they were experiencing these problems.

so trust me when i say that it is the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] TidusWulf:
excuse my ignorance but what IS tsm parts?
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
it is the option in the settings menu that will allow you to change the animation and set up custom lock screen and stuff. Try it. It is handy tool you will like it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
I don't want the Nexus for the same reason you say. I'll be waiting until I see some newer phones and by then I'll have some money saved up.

noob question about this rom

Hi everyone, right now I just rooted my charge and am running stock but i was looking for something with tw4 and this seems to be the best rom. what im not sure about is which one to use, there are 2 different 1214 roms and 4 1211. Do I need the EXT4 formatter? the one with TSM parts (not sure what TSM is)? Do I need a specific kernel for this or will it run over the stock kernel im running now? Sorry if these are all stupid questions, android is much more complicated than windows mobile (what i came from).
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
TSM: it is the option in the settings menu that will allow you to change the animation and set up custom lock screen and stuff. Try it. It is handy tool you will like it.

Get the latest one 1214 with tsm. IMO you dont need EXT$ formatter. dont forget to get clockworkmod recovery on your phone. Other than that you should be good. You can flash on top of your stock. No you dont need any specific kernel.

I liked everything except couple small details. Unfortunately my phone is not friends with custom roms. It always fs up after custom rom. Once I put it back to stock. it works like a honda engine.

P.S you are funny. WinMo is most complicated OS ever. If you say that you switched from WinPhone7 I get that but WinMo is too complex. Finding something is winmo is like finding a buried pirate treasure in deserted area without a map. :)

12-14-11

im on 12-11-11 TSM EXT4, to update to 12-14-11 TSM do i just flash over the 12-11-11?
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
I think so, because there was no extra instructions from imnuts for flashing. i'd assume that it goes on top of the 1211. It might delete your info so be careful dont forget to back things up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
TSM-TeamSbrissenMod. A ROM implementation that offers a much more modular ROM (per se) but at the expense of...stability. At least on this phone. However, kinks can "easily" be worked out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] boimarc89:
the tsm parts doesnt work for me. infinity rom 12-14-11. made several changes and nothing changed but the lockscreen.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MaxBuck:
I'm not knowledgeable as to why this ROM has so much worse battery performance than stock. But it does. The degraded battery life makes this phone nearly unusable for me, and I'm now looking for how to get back to stock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
here you go http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365376
[Verizon Droid Charge] Hitchslap:
NO! That's not stock! That does not contain the EP4D CDMA modem, and it has imo 4 kernel.

If you truly want to get back to stock, and what I'd recommend you do to avoid any issues later, is to follow the instructions in the OP of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111486

Download the PIT file and the EP4 ROM/Kernel Odin package from the links in the OP of that thread.

Make a Titanium backup of all your user-installed apps before flashing this, then restore them after flashing your new ROM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
Dont forget that link that you have provided is factory stock without root or cwm recovery. It needs to be rooted and customized. But if He/She want to get back to factory stock(incl. latest updates) you have the right link.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
Is the battery life really bad for everyone? Is it just the TSM version, or is the regular version a battery drain too? I really wanted a ROM with TW4 but not if its gonna drain the batt faster than stock, cuz stock already sucks on batt life. Lack of stability too? Is this the consensus?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jharvey24:
I'm running tsm parts, battery is not great, how long are you guys getting on one charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Hitchslap:
You're right, good catch.
[Verizon Droid Charge] leaveone:
i get about 24 hours out of my battery. however, i do a little facebook, a good bit of texts, a few 5 min phone calls, and thats about it. i dont surf the web or stream much as i always have a computer handy for that stuff. im running the 1211 tsm parts on ext4. while i get good battery life i have a feeling that i dont use the phone quite like some others do.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
I use my phone a lot, 70% internet surfing on 4G(ebay/fbook/xda...) 20% text/pix and 10% calling. I go trough one charge in around 6-8h. I always have a charger or a spare battery handy. Those times with stock 2.3.6. When I used 1211 I got slightly less times, around 5-6h. May be because i was excited to explore it.

Now my phone crapped out. I just returned RAZR and I am waiting for replacement for my Charge and currently using HTC Rezound and have Galaxy Nexus as a back up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
damn dude! did u spend like $2k on phones? lol. You prefer the Rezound to the Nexus? Also, the 5-6h charge, were u using juice defender or anything like that?
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
I work for verizon so I get to play with phones a lot. Nexus hands down. I like htc sense but dont like the feel and weight of the rezound. But Nexus has so many shortcomings. No I did not use any app to save the battery.

I am waiting for the first quad core phone. I will be able to get one for free in May.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
i plan on doing the same. I've had an upgrade since September, but there really wasnt anything out there that blew my mind. was gna get the nexus but it does have way too many short comings. Picked up the Charge on Ebay in the meantime to get used to android before I upgrade. But I figure ill wait for the gs3 or some awesome quad core phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
playing waiting game is bad. Because I grabbed Charge since I did not have any other 4G options back in May. I am eligible for an upgrade on my other line since June but I am waiting for the next best thing which might never come. Plus the company will give me a new phone is May. But I think waiting for first quad core phone(IMO it will be HTC) or gs3 is a good idea.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Justblazeitup:
i am currently debating on coming over to this rom from Humble 5.0 due to its very laggy performance. i am reading on here that a lot of people are having the same issues with the InfinityROM and i wanted to know some opinions one which packet to download. I will be flashing via ODIN and im not quite sure if i need to do anything special before flashing besides a data wipe. Again, im coming from humble 5.0. media scan during boot is killing me because it takes upwards of 5 min. cant overclock the rom either.

which packet should i download and can i get steelblue theme for this rom? its my fav. thanks for all help.

EDIT: ALSO do i need to flash anything else after the initial package via ODIN in CWM or anything? humble 5.0 was done after flashing the ODIN package and i didnt need anything else.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
The first thing that you need to know is, there is not Odin compatible file. They all go trough CWM. So get CWM on your phone. As far as my experience was 1211 with TSM worked perfectly fine for me. Smooth, beautiful and no lag. It boots super fast comparing to stock gingerbread. Delete info from your sd card to avoid long media scan time. I had the same problem and with keeping my info in sd card minimum, it resolved the problem for me.

flashing instructions are in OP and you can try to flash it over Humble. if that does not work revert to stock and then flash infinity over stock. And always, dont forget to back up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Justblazeitup:
Ok thanks a lot. Do i need to flash a different cwm or can i use the one i currently have. Came with humble i believe. Thanks in advance
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
Pretty much all CWM serve the same purpose. dont forget to wipe the phone and clear the cache and dalvik cache before flashing this rom.

---------- Post added at 07:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 AM ----------

I apologize imnuts to disturb you. I think you have a lot more important things to do rather answering stupid questions.

But.... After flashing to 1214 infiinity, I lost root. It is the second time it is happening with infinity. Can you shed some insight whats going on and how to get it back?

Really appreciate this.

If anyone having the same problems please support me to get the info or if anyone does know how to fix that please let me know. So I can help myself and help others to keep Droid Charge alive.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
how bad did i screw myself?

So I just flashed this ROM and forgot to wipe data first. Afterwards I went back in and did a factory reset and it booted me up still in this ROM...I thought I would have to flash again, do i? Or am i good?
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
It depends. Use it and see if there any bugs. If everything is good you dont have to flash it again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
FIXED , my root is back. here are the instructions.

1. Get the latest signed Superuser courtesy of Toms-World.org and put it on your SD card.

2. You should already have imnuts latest CWM (teal font), but if not get it here and Odin it.

3. Boot into CWM, navigate to mounts, and mount system.

4. Wipe cache and Dalvik

5. Select Install zip from SD, navigate to where you stored the Superuser zip and select to install.

6. Reboot.

7. Profit.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Not saying that the package hosted there isn't legit, but this is EXACTLY how malware is spread. Someone puts up a legitimate package and tells people to download it. It gets press and is deemed legit, and then it gets replaced with a non-kosher version, but people keep downloading/using it. I would suggest you go and download from the original source of the superuser package, andriodsu.com, where the original Superuser developer posts the releases.

[Verizon Droid Charge] SoonerLater:
RADIOS: I just installed Infinity 1211 + TSM. So far so good. However, Settings\About shows that my radios are i510.06.V.EE4 and SCH-I510.EE1. I thought that they should be EP4 or EP4D since Infinity was (I think) built using the EP4D radios. Am I missing something? If I don't have the right / latest radios, how do I get them?

TSM + STATUSBAR: When I go to Settings\TSM Parts, and try to customize the StatusBar (for example, to change clock color, format or position), nothing seems to happen, even after a reboot. Are some of the TSM Parts's features not available in Infinity? Is there a trick to using them?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
first, the Infinity rom (and most if not all CWM zip custom roms) does not include modems those you will have to Odin flash yourself

second, the complete TSM Parts options repertoire were not included/enabled/finished or whatever so no most of the options don't work

I would suggest the latest CWR 5.x. I believe everyone with 4.x + Infinity ROM were having their data wiped if you went back into CWR after initial setup. A way around this was to flash Imoseyon's 4.x kernel but with CWR 5.x that became unnecessary.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Indian9990:
Hi guys..Sorry I haven't flashed in a while on verizon and AT&T/T-mobile are so much easier than verizon because there no radio things.

I wanted to flash this ROM but I just wanted to double check I had the process correct.

I am currently on [EP4D][All in One][GinngerBread 2.3.6 W/Root,CWM,IMO Kernel 4.0]

So to flash this ROM..

Can I just boot into recovery

clear data/factory reset.

clear cache, clear dav cache,

mount system?

Install zip from SD Card

Choose 1214 Infinity w/TSM Parts which I downloaded earlier

The reboot and I should be good 2 go?

Thanks for the help :)

Battery Life

I live in Las Vegas, where there is incredible 4G-LTE Coverage. I have been using this ROM for about a week now and I just wanted to say that I experience INCREDIBLE battery life. My battery will last over a day with heavy use now. Stock/Gummy lasts about 1/2 - 3/4 of the day.

Anyone experience the same/differently?
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
Since I take my laptop to work. I rarely use my phone for internet surfing. I just check ebay often, text and make some calls. The battery is lasting me pretty much 8-12h. I am not kidding. Yesterday I used it ok and it lasted 12+h. today I took my phone off the charger at 8pm and it started to die around 9pm. So I am pretty happy about it and I always have spare charged battery just in case.
