I just tracked down the vacuum/reindex script and it made a huge difference even before clearing my cache...

I have also long suffered with declining performance of pretty much all custom roms on the Charge and find a reflash brings it right back to life. Maybe now that won't be necessary...?

Kudos to vacuum/reindex and a major thanks to all those who continue to work on making this underachieving phone worth hanging on to.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dSlice:
Ding ding ding!
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
While I generally agree that older hardware can't run the latest software, I am very happy with the latest Tweaked when it is operating in a 'freshly installed' state. I have hopes that the vacuum/reindex script I just(!) learned about, will obviate the need to reinstall every 6ish weeks.

On the S3 front, your fiancee must have bad hardware. My wife just recently upgraded from a Charge to an S3 running full stock and she has zero issues. Her experience has been flawless as far as I know- and believe me I'd hear about it... She's using the stock launcher but I can't believe that's causing your fiancee's issues... though it might be worth testing out I suppose

My other project is almost done, but not quite. Once it is, I'll be starting up on this.
[Verizon Droid Charge] beho86:
Hi Dwitherell,

I was hoping to see the update soon. I tried Eclipse, but my phone was faster on Stock, or my be that's just me. Would you have just a FP8 deodexed? Just untill Tweaked is released.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
I can post something like that most likely tomorrow or Sunday. I should be officially done with my other project tomorrow :)

I've noticed that my phone's slowed down too... What's this vacuum/reindex script that you guys are mentioning?

[Verizon Droid Charge] Hovo:
Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

I already had the tweak containing the vacuum/reindex scripts installed, but I didn't have SQLite installed. Would running the SQLite Installer for Root from the Market do the trick in getting those scripts to run?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dSlice:
Yep. I should probably state that. Lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
As a longtime Charge user, I'd like to again thank Dwith - and all those who (still) labor to make this phone so much better than it is in stock configuration.

My only real hangup with it is the fairly frequent dialer lag and usually Handcent as well. Nearly eveything else comes up moderately quickly, but the 2 things I use the most frequently seem to have the hardest time. I've tried virtually all tweaks and scripts - I've now taken to running vacuum/reindex daily but I just can't seem to consistently shake the problem...

Is it me or is that just normal? On a clean install it all seems to glide along but it doesn't take too long to start acting up.

Any advice at all?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dSlice:
Try converting handcent to a system app. I personally use exDialer, it pops up right away.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Thanks for the suggestions. Tried converting Handcent to system app via TiBu but then it wouldn't open (force close trying to load) although as I type this I didn't try fixing permissions in cwm. Maybe that would work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sep33:
Its been quite around here. Any word on updates
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
None yet. Once I really get started I'll let folks know :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
is it safe to say that the themes won't be updated (or at least not initially)? i know that is such a huge task for you - perhaps you could take a poll on which theme (if any) folks would like.

either way, I'm grateful for your continued support - it's just that when I gave the charge to my 7-year old, he initially had it with Blackness' Jelly Bean theme. I then showed him a few different other themes, but then he asked that I make the look "fancy" again. but given that he's only 7, he'll take whatever is offered.

thanks again!
[Verizon Droid Charge] deafptl4ever:
Dwitherell, this next update will be your last update you will ever be making to this rom. I think it would be cool for you to end with a bang as the coolest developer our Charge has. I hope you will finish this off. Thanks Don't you hate all the sweet talk???? LOL Get the work boy, I'm old enough to be your father. :D

[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
LOL - well I have my doubts on the "bang" aspect as it won't have the theme-scope that it once did, but it'll happen. The weather has shifted making my little ones demand a bit more outdoor time, but there should be a lull of sorts middle of next week for me work-wise... hardest part is getting started, after that it's not so bad :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] sshafranko:
I've had the charge two days after it came to Verizon until I bought the note 2 a few days after it came out to Verizon. ALL those years my phone and my wife's were owned by dwith... I would say he already IS the man for the fading Charge.

[Verizon Droid Charge] lazarus0000:
Dwith - I've still got my Charge & if you need beta tester or whatever, let me know. It's sitting in a drawer in my kitchen so it's not like I need it to be functioning well. But it's updated to the latest everything from you & is without "tweaks" of any kind( except, of course, TWEAKED!), so any install is a clean one. I've also got about a million hours free time on my hands so I'm free to help with whatever.

I know nothing about PMing on XDA but I'm sure I can figure it out, so if you need me, let me know.

[Verizon Droid Charge] deafptl4ever:
When you get the final rom out for the Charge, you can say 'It's DONE' just like God said when He finished making the Universe on the 6th day. He then said it's good. Same for you. Then you can rest forever from your creations on the Charge. But, only til that last rom comes out, can you say it's done and it's good and then rest. LOL :thumbup::):cool:

Dwith already is the Charge man

Of course Charge development wouldn't be where it is without ppl like the TSM guys and the kernel authors; thanks to all of you guys whose names I now forget.

Dwith is the man though. He just sat down one day and put together the best ROM the Charge community had seen, and has kept up diligent support ever since for this now largely defunct phone.

When the people cried to the dev, "dev, we need to change this ugly Samsung poop theme" ,the dev said, "let there be blue," and there was blue. Whethe people cried to the dev, "Dwith the stock Os is unstable," the dev said, "let there be stability," and there was stability.

So yeah, if you have been using tweaked and love it, hit that thanks button and throw our favorite dev a couple bucks because he deserves it Thanks Dwith, looking forward to the final version of Tweaked so I can avoid upgrading my phone for another year.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fsuinnc:
I am a huge fan of Tweaked and have been for at least a year and a half and have been running the latest version since it came out 12/25. I have noticed that in past few months that I have had pretty lousy battery life and it seems to have gotten REALLY bad since the FP8 OTA came out. Anyway, I have been unable to figure out why my battery life was so bad even after using BBS and some other stuff I downloaded. (though it seems that it never goes to sleep).

Long story short, I downloaded and installed build 2 of Eclipse for FP8 last night (http://www.elementalxdesigns.com/ec...arge-FP8-progress-build-4-22-13&p=381#post381). I re-calibrated the battery this morning after a full chargeI have been unplugged since 07:30. It is now 13:00 and I am at 75%.

This is a huge improvement over what I have been seeing on Tweaked 3.2. but I still have no idea why.I realize this is just a part of one day but lately I was plugging my phone in at work by 10:30 because I was dropping to 50% or so by then.

Please understand that this post is not intended as a complaint of Tweaked or meant to slight anyone in any way. (I miss the TSM options already). I know next to nothing about programming the Charge. I also realize that my battery issue is probably related to something in my setup or something that is running in the background. I only mention this because I thought someone might know of something that is different in Tweaked and Eclipse that might account for the difference in battery usage.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Two things that make the comparison tricky:

1) Different base build

2) Fresh install - those always show the best picture :)

That being said, the charge has always been plagued with a degenerative issue... its cause is beyond me though :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] deafptl4ever:
The Eclipse has been working better and better battery life than your last build. That's why we are waiting for you to get out your last build for us to have those benefits included in your final Tweaked rom. If your going to do it then please do so but if not, then let us know. I just don't think it's nice you just taking your time. I also noticed on your other rooms for other phones that you don't see things through and just quit. People have given you good money in the past believing you were going to stick to the end of the phones life like most rom makers do. I know people will be angry with me and it's only because they are afraid you will refuse to finish what you said you would do. I think it's a shame they even have to feel that way.

Cortana? Is that you? Geez baby, you've changed... You used to skinny & a chick!
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I guess that means no cookie for me. I still don't know what you guys are talking about. Oh well.

I have to admit, I miss all the fun we had trying to make our phones run good. My new phone is boring and the Tweaked VZW Remix thread is even worse. :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] lazarus0000:
I don't know if you're able to get Slim Bean or not for your device but, if you like AOSP, it's the way to go. When I got my S3, I was a total crack flasher - it'd been so long since I had a choice in the matter, I went a little nuts... But I won't go back to TW for anything - I did for about 16 hours a week ago & just couldn't take it. Slim Bean, Carbon, & Liquid Smooth are all good AOSPs with all the functional of TW except for the proprietary stuff. So no eye lock or multi - windows but otherwise, totally usable & without the Samsung (iron fisted whore mongers - no offense intended) garbage...

And yeah, I miss y'all here in the land of the Charge. The phone was getting long in the tooth but this was a real community with generally, a lot of activity and respect for each other. In reference to that last, there's been a slight downhill trend (see Mod comment above) but things have settled down...

In re quote, it's from Cortana, the AI character in Halo. I'm old, so as far as I'm concerned, the best video game ever made....
[Verizon Droid Charge] dSlice:
I'm running stock, deodexed and debloated, with a custom kernel on my S4. I'm waiting eagerly for a functional AOSPA to come out.

On a side note, sorry for being non existent on the forums and on my thread, I tried some things for Eclipse, but it wasn't turning out the way I was liking, and then a new demanding job and upgrade time came. So I really haven't been doing the whole tinkering thing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lazarus0000:
All good! Hoping DWith is able to get the last Tweaked out but it's been so long since I played with the Charge that remembering how to go back to stock & take it all the way up to date is going to be a chore anyway. And, like you, sounds like he's been overwhelmed with that little thing they call "a real life..." So, no worries on my part. I hear that Nitro has put out an Eclipse version and I'm shocked! He disappeared from the Charge way back in the early days of Froyo, I believe. I ran one of his for a brief while on the S3 but couldn't get my camera to work. When I asked about it on the forum thread, 3 days or so later someone replied the camera works & always has. They aren't quite as helpful over there as here...

In the meantime, I'm loving the S3. What about the S4 - living up to your expectations?
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Thanks man but it's all good. I don't have much desire to try different roms. I did just find this to have a little fun with. I was able to put together some wicked cool home-screens. Here's a few screenies.

Also if you call Halo an old video game you aren't near as old as me. When I was young the closest thing we had to a video game was a pin-ball machine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dSlice:
Oh, it is crazy fast! Faster than my Nexus 7! I'm loving it! The whole no touch thing is blowing my mind. Some crazy Korean voodoo magic!
[Verizon Droid Charge] lazarus0000:
I'm liking what I assume to be lockscreen widgets there. My phone is always looking utilitarian ugly. Black everywhere I can get it and locked down tight - too much personal & financial info on it for me to allow it to be unlocked. I use the heck out of the cLock & it's widgets - don't think I'd make it through the day without those!

And oh yeah, baby! Nothing like hitting the bowling alley and tilting a pinball machine or two! The world may have advanced but we lost something with Pong & Space Invaders...

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

Hahaha! Rocking it Gangham Style, huh? I was shocked with the speed of the S3. First time I loaded a map, it was just there, instantly. No wait, no spinning little circle. I hit maps and all the sudden I knew where I was. Browsing is just about comparable to the desktop experience.

I know when I'm told today's phones are more powerful than an 80+ super computer, I tend to take it with a grain of salt. But the proof's in the pudding! I might change my signature to say something like "Sent with my pocket sized Cray..."

[Verizon Droid Charge] deafptl4ever:
It's going to be nothing but a wet dream for them. Man's futility at billions of dollars when they could be putting that money to way better uses here on earth. We are running out of water in many countries and could be building desalination plants to help those countries and maybe even ours as California is struggling with water as the farmers need the water too. So it's no farms to make food or give California cities the water they need? That could be completely avoided. Israel has become completely self dependent on their own water with these desalination plants. We Americans love to procrastinate and wait until it becomes a crisis.

First Boot

How long it takes for the first boot after flashing this ROM? I've been on the 4G LTE screen for a few minutes now. :confused:

Got it too boot, took about 5 minutes. Now I'm getting a System Update Notification (OTA) can I disable this notification?

It is all in the first 4 posts... it is an FP5 build... current OTA is FP8. Just make sure you are on FP5 based kernel...

Might want to look into the stop update notifications if you are sticking with FP5 ( ^^ looks like a link provided right above your post ^^ )

Dwith is alive & well, recent chatter here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2244704

for what little it is worth...

I've got an FP8 debloat you could play with, but it is no Tweaked...

Personally, I stuck with a Tweaked 3.2 FP5 build on my daily driver SCH-I510, till I got the GN2...
[Verizon Droid Charge] swing4thefence:
I did the Update notification killer. If lashed Tweaked 3.2 on Saturday night. It was great on Sunday but crappy Monday. Lag, random freezes, Random Re-boots the works. I booted recovery and mounted data and datadata and ran fix permissions and knock on wood it's fine today.

Is it ok to run on Lazarus Recharged or is there a better fp5 kernel to use?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jheide44:
Post #1

:)

Yeah Laz is FP5 based, currently... AFIK, so you should be good to go. I ran stock kernel cause I wan't after certain pieces of functionality. If you got to have certain things then you will need Laz.

However, I'm just a crazy guy from the internet. Feel free to click the link in the Dwith quote above and check it out for yourself.

Feature request for future versions

Hey Dwith,

If you are still planning to do a new Tweaked based on FP8 I was wondering if you could implement the "Hold back button to kill foreground app" feature that I've seen in many AOSP Roms?

Thanks for considering.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sshafranko:
I wish bro. I thing tweaked for charge is done. Dwith is very busy developing for the newer phones. He has Tweaked out for the tmo and vzw note 2. I think its a bit too much for him to continue the charge but im keeping my fingers crossed as well. I have 3 charges one for each of my kids and i would love to have tweaked back on them. Currently running eclipse as they are all updated to fp8.

It won't be the same in terms of scope. But there will be something. Nothing has been done yet, but I squirreled away some time last night to set the stage so-to-speak. Hard to call that progress but it's one less thing I have to do now :)
