Ok, so I took FP5 ota and flashed 2.2 without issue. Flashed the zip to stop the FP5 notifications I was still getting presumably because 2.2 rom still says FP1 in build ID. I also forgot that without a custom kernel I lost both overclocking and custom boot animations (at least via tweaktools). Neither of those are that big a deal.

More concerning is that I seem to have lost wifi. It turns on and seems to start connecting, it gets to authenticating then quits trying and disconnects. There is an extremely small chance that I simply keep entering in my password incorrectly but I really don't think so. Anyone have any thoughts?

right, custom boots are NOT available for stock kernels.

not sure what is causing the lack of wifi though - have you tried to reinstall the kernel?

This ROM is insane, just had to clarify that ha!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] bvsbutthd101:
Alright, weird issue. Just wiped my phone. Reflashed this ROM using the CWM method. For some reason I can't open things without force closes. For example, I try to change my ringtone or notification sound and "(com.android.settings) has stopped working" Not sure what could be causing the problem. It's a fresh install.

EDIT: My phone isn't reading my SD card properly. Anyway to fix this?

EDIT 2: Reflashing fixed the problem :)

[Verizon Droid Charge] bvsbutthd101:
I figured out what was causing my phone to not properly recognize my SD card and force close apps. When I loaded up Terminal Emulator and went into Tweaktools. It would ask to update busybox. When updating it that would cause these issues. Now I've had to reflash my phone multiple times to figure this out. So I'm pretty sure this is the issue. Been running my phone without the busybox update for quite a while now and haven't had the issue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Hey Cujo would you mind checking something for me? I'm running FP5 ota + Tweaked 2.2... although maybe you're testing 2.3?

If you switch to CDMA do you lock and hold 3G?

Also, are you having any wifi issues?

Thanks,

Helping a Friend with his Charge

I am trying to helpm a friend who has a Droid Charge. He had a message come up about a "System Update" . When it was done, everthing was gone, not even Play Store. I have tried to get him on to the newest version of this Rom. Under "About Phone" the Kernal version is: 2.6.35.7-FP1-g9fef422-dirty. The Build # is: SCH-I510.FP1.

i WANT TO GET HIM HERE=> Tweaked v2.2 w/PBJ (tonsit) EXT4 conversion.

Second, is there a way to stop System Updates from even poping up ?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
Not sure where his phone is now, but it loojs like he already has tonsits kernel. But if he is already in ext4 and want to go to fp5, then follow these instructions.

First, convert back to rfs from ext4, second, install the 0524 charge kernel pbj, third, install the stock fp1 kernel, fourth, install tube updaterizer and stock fp5 kernel.

Let me know if you need links for each - each of those are on this forum.

That will get you to FP5. To stop the notification, edit the build.prop via root explorer to say fp5 or install one of Paul's fixes.

tappin' that....

Amen brutha!
[Verizon Droid Charge] fsuinnc:
Please don't take this the wrong way. I think all of you on the dev boards are great. The fact is that with very little computer knowledge you can google "droid charge update" and you will probably get a link to xda, rootzwiki or both. The problem is many people don't know what fp5 is or that ota is an often used term, etc.. I agree that these things have all been answered but it is often hard to find answers when you don't really know how to ask the question in terms of a good search. I often search and search and later discover I was simply phrasing my search incorrectly. (Usually due to my lack of knowledge.)

This is not intended as an excuse, just a little explanation.

How To Stop Update Notification on Droid Charge

How To Stop Update Notification on Droid Charge

WARNING:

DO NOT USE "ES File Explorer" to edit your build.prop file. You will boot loop your phone.

If you do not have Root Explorer or are not willing to pay for one, use "build.prop Editor", it's free.

1. From Google play, download build.prop Editor by Nathan Campos

2. Find the line: ro.build.fingerprint. Click on it.

3. It will show the Property Key "verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/FP1:user/release-keys". Change the text "FP1" (or whatever radio version you have, e.g. EP4) to "FP5". Press Save.

4. Restart.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mmamo:
FYI... If they use ES File Explorer properly they will not Boot Loop their phone. The problem is that they are not changing the permissions back to read only. After you Choose Root Explorer in setting and Mount File System as writable then you can modify and save your build.prop file. When you are done, you have to go back and uncheck the option to mount the file system and they uncheck the root option and it will change the permissions back to read only.

PIT partition

Great...now what? Any advice is appreciated:

Been running 2.1 PBJ, Ext4 0526 fine, then bootloops this morning. Booted CWM, wiped & reflashed & still bootlooping, so back to basics - Downloaded EP4 & PIT from imnuts & flashed via odin which also failed, "There is no PIT partition."

I've never run into this before & feel stuck - am I?

Bueller?

Thanks, everyone.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Ted A:
That's a really good explanation why ES File Explorer botches an otherwise perfectly good, running cellphone. Thank you.

My post was simply to provide an idiot-proof solution to noobs, such as myself, who are wanting to get away from the wrath of VZW and its OTA. :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
If you tried to install the latest fp5 kernel, it will not work on ext4. You need to convert back to rfs first.

tappin' that....
[Verizon Droid Charge] Reilly1812:
Can you clarify this? While I have yet to modify the prop file, I run ES 24x7 with root and system mounted as writable. Never a problem for more than 8 months.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Shogun_Iggy:
Well ill tell you this......I've been using es for about 2 years without issue....I've edited my build.prop on the last ota without hitch....attempted to this go round to keep my fp1 build and boot looped my phone......*forest gump voice* and that's all to have to say about that
[Verizon Droid Charge] amham:
Ok...I may need some additional guidance, sorry - I downloaded two of the imnuts hosted files (EP4D & ED2) in hopes of finding one which is RFS. MD5 checksum looks good, but ODIN fails on MD5.

Imo's 4.0 kernel

Voodoo sound..

You can get the kernel on rootzwiki..

And voodoo sound at the play store.

Need the kernel for voodoo sound to work..

Open app (vs) look for something about system converting ext4..

You have to check or uncheck the boxes..

Reboot.. robot lady voice..

Will tell you the rest..

SENT FROM THE DOG POUND
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
below are the steps to convert from EXT4 to RFS:

1.	check to see if you have a folder called "sdcard/VooDoo/disable-lagfix" (without quotes); if not, then create it; if so, proceed to next step

2.	if you have a custom boot animation, change it to read "sanim.zip.bak"

3.	boot into CWM

4.	mount system

5.	install zip from SDcard

6.	select Imoseyon's kernel

7.	re-boot system (process can take about 15 minutes, you'll hear a robot lady voice telling you that the system is partitioning, and will give you an estimated time of completion)

8.	check to ensure that the conversion took place by entering into Terminal Emulator and looking for RFS, if still EXT4, then:

1.	Download and install voodoo control from market (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...doo.controlapp)

2.	Un-Check all ext4 boxes then reboot

3.	Re-check with Terminal Emulator

9.	boot back into CWM

10.	mount system

11.	install zip from SDCard

12.	select your kernel

- Stock FP1 (note, if going to this kernel, you will need to install the 0524 kernel FIRST)

- tonsit

- 0502 (no longer posted, ask a member of this community for the file)

- 0504 (no longer posted, ask a member of this community for the file)

- 0524

13.	be sure to "Fix Permissions" in CWM before rebooting or you could lose root (if you still lost root, then simply flash SuperUser via CWM)

Damn man, sorry to hear the bad news. Have you tried a different usb cable to connect to your computer/odin? i found that only two of 6 micro usb cables would let my phone connect to odin. Also plug it into the back of your computer. You might have already tried this but just a thought. If it really is dead you could try that unbrickable mod of soldering those two pins.... Hopefully it is something simple that you overlooked .

i've had that happen to me a few times. just leave it plugged in to a power outlet for about 30 minutes so that it can catch up on the battery juice. sounds like the battery just completely died. same deal with car batteries.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rice923:
So I've been using Tweaked 2.2 for over a few months now, and was wondering if it had the ability to kill an app by pressing and holding the back button.

I haven't found this option in TSM or any other settings, but would love to have it to save battery.

Also, I've noticed my pattern unlock screen will be significantly shifted out of center every once in a while. The screen still works and all, but the positioning is just way off.

PS. Thanks to all the contributors and devs so far. I would probably have thrown my Charge out the window if it wasn't for all the hard work here.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xprog:
Press and hold home will bring up recent apps, click task manager and you can kill active apps from there. Maybe what you wanted?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Same thing happened to me last Friday. I went to a corporate store and gave them some crap about how I tried to take a system update (just playing dumb) and now my phone wont turn on. They gave me a CLNR. Luckily it was the last day of my warranty.
[Verizon Droid Charge] amham:
Ah, good call! I have to go through my corp. procurement...blah blah peeps...we'll see what they say tomorrow, though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rice923:
I know about that method already. What i am referring to was a feature i had on my kindle fire running Jandycane. I could hold "back" and kill the current app i was running on the spot. It was very convenient and used often by many of the KF

Edit: what is CLNR?
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
Clear ram memory for good measure too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
Certified like new replacement
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
from my experience, pressing the "back" button (as opposed to the "home" button) exits an app completely. pressing the "home" button still keeps it running in the background until the system determines when to close it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rice923:
I am aware of this also. However, some apps actually go back to another page when pressing "back." For instance, the browser will go back a bunch of pages before it closes successfully.

Some other things I noticed about Tweaked 2.2 so far (for myself at least):

1) When accessing the phone function, the phone is notably slow to respond to my request. It may take up to 3 seconds to open up the dialpad in some cases.

2) When "swiping away" notifications in the pull down menu, the notification is very persistent to stay. I've never "swiped away" a notification successfully on the first try... and I think my fingers are well coordinated...:eek:

3) Occasional shifted screen when using pattern unlock (way off center pattern when I try to unlock the phone)

Anyone else noticed these things before?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
1.) sometimes, but rarely an issue for me

2.) rarely a problem for me, but trying pressing in the middle for a second or two, then swipe slowly

3.) i think I read someone else had this issue, but I don't use the pattern unlock, so can't really comment further. however, the AOSP lock works perfectly for me every time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GameChanger:
I have the same problem with 1 and 2. I don't use the unlock pattern so idk about 3.

[Verizon Droid Charge] fsuinnc:
I have problem 1 and 2 also. problem 1, very slow going from home screen to phone is always slow and usually really, really slow. I often hit the phone icon again thinking I messed up and then it ends up working and counting the second press as a press on the voice dialer and then I have to wait for that to open so I can close it and move on.

On the bright side, I don't actually use my phone as a phone but a few time a day so the lag has been well worth it to have tweaked.

Semi-patiently waiting for the next update!!

On a side note, I just accidentally discovered the Tweaked for my wife's Stratosphere. I haven't had a chance to install it yet, but I will!
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
1) To be honest the phone apk always seemed a bit laggy to open even on stock. It also seemed to degenerate a bit over time. Tweaked seems cursed with the same affliction, though I noticed it is somewhat related to how often you use your phone as a phone (more use tended to lead to faster open times).

2) I always grab from the middle, and you need to make sure you don't move vertically at all, as that cancels out the swipe away. In my experience less is more.

3) I haven't made any sort of modifications to any of the secure locks, so I would imagine this could occur on stock as well. Out of curiosity, do you have auto-rotate enabled?

...back to work I go ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
Spank you...

damn auto truth..

I meant thank you

SENT FROM THE DOG POUND
[Verizon Droid Charge] rice923:
Yes, I do have auto rotate enabled. I noticed that when I press the power button to wake up the phone when holding it in landscape, the lock screen will show up in the landscape orientation (in an organized fashion, not out of order icons or anything). However, I can never actually use the unlock screen in landscape because it quickly defaults back to portrait automatically (regardless of me holding it in landscape).

Edit: on a sadder note... I purchased a G'nex today for a pretty decent price... but I still want to see 2.3 and experience it in all of its glory!

Just Wondering...

Hey all, just got done posting over in the "general" section under the "FP5 update.zip" section. I was mumbling about how I HATE my charge now. I am fed up because the new OTA has done NIET, NIL, NOTHING for my phone. So.......... I was wondering how DW is coming on Tweaked 2.3???? Not trying to rush you (c'mon- what's the hold up?), just wondering.

Thought maybe I would try 2.3 since the rest of the Tweaked series is so AWESOME! Probably the best ROM I have had to date. I've been using custom ROM's for a few years now and by far TWEAKED is the best. Too bad the phone still sucks :crying: .........

So, before I blow up over the phone at some idiot Verizon has trained to speak like a robot, I figured I would try 2.3 when Dwith is ready. My God, if you could develop some ROMs for other phones (Razr Maxx or HD, Gnex, Galaxy S 3, yadda yadda) you would be my hero!

I believe Cujo had it right in another post, "Everything he touches seems to turn to gold!"
[Verizon Droid Charge] nycghost:
Wow. Was there a point, or a question, in there somewhere? If you hate the Charge, go buy a different phone. And telling Dwitherell to hurry up and then saying "just kidding" is still rude.

Droid Charge / Tweaked 2.1 TSM ext4 PBJ / Transparent ICS v2.3
[Verizon Droid Charge] THEbigSWEEN:
Well look who it is (I've periodically been lurking around still in-between crack flashing) I must be lucky because I never had any of the common problems with my Charge or my GNex. One odd thing that happened was for some reason most of the ICS roms wouldn't work and would show me as roaming. Never found a fix so could only try 3 or 4 roms which was devastating to get the GN and not be able to play with most of the goodies. Luckily the Jelly Bean versions have all worked. Once I see 2.3 pop up I'll have to get my Charge back out and update it to Dwith's latest and greatest ;) Then I'll have to get some of Cujo's sisters together and make a new wallpaper! :highfive:

I know what you mean. It's a better community on the Charge because it's a smaller closer group. When you get your GNex I suggest you try out Paranoid Android with Trinity kernel (I'm using Dreamsicle theme). It's amazing (see screenshots, it's like having a mini tablet) It's definitely not the same without you guys, especially you Cujo :silly: Planned on selling my Charge at first but figured what the heck, might as well hang on to it. I'll keep checking in for 2.3. Good luck Withere!!

Nice set up Sween. My GN is coming prerooted with AOKP milestone 6 (if this sounds like your phone... well its mine now!). I'll be sure to try out some of the different Roms since I'm comfortable flashing Sammy phones at this point.

Like you said though, i will miss this community greatly. After some brief browsing at the GN forums, it feels kinda different.

On topic: the task bar notification flicking away action thing indeed is much easier when you have a shorter stroke initiated from the middle
[Verizon Droid Charge] THEbigSWEEN:
Post#1: I sensed you were checking up on me so I decided to make an appearance ;)

Post#2: Ya that makes sense to go with 3.0. Anything major with FP5 or just new radios basically? Is the Tweaked update going to be exclusively on Tweak Tools?

Post#3: I know :cool:

I know what you mean about it feeling different, it's a bit odd coming from here to there but still a good community. The phones are pretty similar except for having to unlock the bootloader at first, so if you have to go back to stock you might wanna learn some basics in ADB or go with a toolkit. I prefer doing it myself in ADB though.
