[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
UPDATE - see

here

for an EP4D update - Tweaked 1.5.

Over the last month or two I decided I would take a crack at learning some things, and so far it seems to have progressed nicely. Given the sorts of things that I tried to figure out, posting something that summarizes the culmination of said learnings seemed appropriate. If nothing else, I figured some would find it nice to have a little more variety as far as ROM choices are concerned. That being said, what is posted here is essentially stock EP4D, with some bells and whistles thrown in - and a pretty face thanks to stranula. Thanks also go out to skydeaner on IRC and gunnermike53 for offering up some server space for files.

I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS (GOOD OR BAD) AS A RESULT OF FLASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO FLASH WHAT IS POSTED HERE! As an additional disclaimer - I still feel as if I am pretty new to all of this, but this has worked for me and a few others that were kind enough to try. That being said, as always YMMV.

I'm not entirely sure what the best way is to set this all up, but here's a look at what I did to get to this point. I started with the deodexed/zipaligned EP4D posted

here

, then attempted a debloat. then attempted a debloat. I haven't done much of that sort if thing prior to this, but it seems to have gone okay (and I welcome suggestions on what else should be or what should not have been removed). That being said, in case there is something missing that you wanted I included a .zip of all the deodexed /system/app apks in the download section at the bottom of this post. Then, using the work done on Infinity, GummyCharged, and Eclipse as examples, as well as various guides found on xda and information found through repeated Google searches, I began my attempts at modifiying a number of files. This was quite the learning process (smali is equal parts comprehensible and baffling), and while I am unsure if the methods I ended up using were the best choice, the end result was they worked, so I was happy. See the changelog in post 2 below for a list of the ends such modifications achieved.

If there is anything you would like to see (or wish wasn't there) on this list, let me know. I can't promise I'll do anything about it, but such requests keep me motivated and learning - and thats the whole reason this ROM came about in the first place (it all started with figuring out how to modify the power menu).

You will need to have either CWM (version 5.0.2.7 can be found

here

, but earlier versions like 4.0.1.4 will work fine as well) already on your phone or ODIN already on your computer, and I would strongly recommend doing a data wipe/factory reset within CWM before flashing either of the CWM .zips (that's what I've been doing at least and I have had no problems).

Also - I am no longer bundling my repacked kernel in anything, as I have found the 0130

PBJ kernel

to be far superior. If you choose to use the repacked kernel, MAKE SURE voodoo lagfix is completely disabled (i.e. /data, /dbdata, /cache, and /system all need to be rfs, i.e. NOT ext4) BEFORE flashing!!! For those interested, the experimental repacked kernel is essentially JUST THE STOCK EP4D kernel - with 2 edits that deal with how adb interacts with the phone and speeding up the media scan at bootup. That being said, go with the PBJ kernel. Seriously.

MY GENERAL RECOMMENDATION:

ODIN back to stock EP4D BEFORE you flash anything. It just makes for far fewer problems

.

CWM Installation instructions

:

- Backup your current setup/data

- Download file and place on sdcard

- Boot into CWM recovery

- If flashing full ROM package, wipe data/factory reset (Recommended - not necessary depending on your situation I suppose)

- If flashing v1.1 patch, make sure to ALREADY BE ON v1.0 and wipe cache/dalvik (again, just my recommendation)

- If flashing v1.4 patch, make sure to ALREADY BE ON v1.1 and wipe cache/dalvik (again, just my recommendation)

- If flashing experimental kernel - you better not be ext4!

- I recommend mounting /system (so it should say "unmount" after system)

- Install the .zip you put on your sdcard

ODIN Installation instructions

:

- Download file on to computer and unzip it (w/ 7-zip or the like)

- Put phone into download mode

- Connect phone to computer (assuming all is well with the drivers)

- Open ODIN (I have been using 1.83)

- Place the .tar.md5 file in PDA!

- Flash away
