Are FP1 and FP1H the same thing? That modem updater zip file references FP1H and according to my phone I'm on baseband FP1. Also, is that zip applied through the Update or Install Zip option in CWM?

Yes, FP1 and FP1H are the same, use CWM to flash.

lol - things are so easy to get muddled... I'm as bad as anyone else really. What was the issue?

Yeah, I'm looking into it. If you manually run the init.d script relevant to the lag reducer the command shrike1978 gave DOES give you output... not sure why it isn't taking at boot. I likely miffed something - looking into it :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] lazarus0000:
I ran the command in terminal emulator and got nothing. I applied the lag reducer today through Tweaktools but there's no output in terminal.

I have a dumb simple problem. I had my flashlight on and reboot phone. Now in the statusbar notification dropdown even though flashlight is off the button is enabled. When I turn it off the flashlight comes on. Basically the button "flag" is reversed. How can I fix this?

Ok I figured out what I was doing wrong. The script here made rngd look like mgd to me. After using the correct command it comes back with:

root 189 1 25436 144 ffffffff ffff0520 S /system/xbin/rngd

Of course I still have no clue what that means but at least something's there. Also in my init.d folder there's a script called "S99rngd" that wasn't there before I re-downloaded the Lag Reducer.

Amazing how squashing an r and an n together looks like an m huh? rn m

No - it's just in apk form is all. Same guy made it.

I think the init.d version is better so we don't have to worry about an app autostarting or anything.

Also with the ps|grep rngd thing I just installed it on my dad's charge and I couldn't get it to work until I went to cwm and fixed permissions.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
did you fix permissions before or after you installed the lag reducer zip file?

I booted in CWM, mounted system, cleared cache/dalvik, installed lagreducer.zip (dated 12/31), fix permissions, reboot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tmanschuette:
Did you all here about what dSlice posted, about what xda reviewers discovered? They were saying that adding the random files won't really help any, and also causes battery drain like said.

My phone stopped deep sleeping, and after an uninstall and permission fix it worked again. I think my issue was more with my voltage settings, so don't uninstall on my account, but you might look into it.

I've already removed it. My phone was fine without it and it was discharging a little faster with it. Plus my desk clock app was acting strange. I don't know why lag reducer would do that but we'll see if it goes back to working right without it.

The thing is Life Hacker had done this: Seeder Kills Lag in Android
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Is because it uses more cpu cycles and keeps the cpu awake, making it run faster than it should and speeding up the responsiveness on bad governors.
[Verizon Droid Charge] o0BlacknesS0o:
Unfortunately there are many in the thread that have shown this not to be true... That there phone sleeps just fine and isn't constantly running higher... Plus the simple solution to prove that would be to raise speed of the governor and it should eliminate the lag the same but others have proven that simply over clocking doesn't produce the same results

The most important thing i saw in the thread was that Steve Kondik of cyanogenmod agrees that it works especially on older devices but he doesn't think it's for the same reason as the op thinks... I used the seeder v6 zip buried in that thread somewhere and my old charge and fascinate have definitely picked up some butter especially with apps like Facebook

[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
I agree - I came away from all of that with the feeling that the consensus was it is

- more relevant for older devices in terms of noticable effects

- the effect is hard to deny

- the OP of the tweak is likely not quite right on the reason behind why the tweak works

I'm hopeful something handy will be learned from the attempts to better understand why the tweak has this lag reducing effect - but as with any android tinkering as always it seems a YMMV scenario.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dSlice:
I'm running tests with it not installed and so far the phone feels the same.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
The last couple days my phone was doing some really weird stuff. It kept opening apps in landscape mode and my desk clock app wouldn't auto start. So this morning I tried to dirty flash the rom. It went into a boot loop that no amount of data or cache wiping could cure. So I decided to go back to EP4 and start over. I have Tweaked 3.2 on the stock kernel running now and I have to say it doesn't seem quite as fast as it did with all the recent tweaks. I'm considering this to be an experiment. I'll run it like this for a while before I start tweaking again and see what happens.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I installed the lag reducer through tweaktools as soon as it was available and it installed fine. I haven't had any adverse affects, but I haven't noticed a significant boost either.

I am able to get a screenshot via the old fashion way (back + home). I do have the screencaptureservice.apk file in my system/app folder

Most likely the permissions of a required file in /system/bin got altered in some way... try this using terminal emulator:

mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl10 /system

Also, if you want to omit the mount commands you could always mount /system as rw using an app like Root Explorer, etc. Let me know if that helps.

Battery life is terrible

Running Tweaked 3.2, with Lazarus recharged kernel and scripts from dslice. (thanks to all ). Lately my battery life seems to get worse and worse. I am not a power a user by any means, using the phone for a few calls and texts each day and a camera or browser if I need it. I am also running Juice defender on a 'balanced' setting (which I have just changed to aggressive).

So far today I have sent 1 text, received 1 text, 1 call under a minute and used Google latitude to check a location also less than a minute. and after 1 hour and 45 minutes I am at 70%. I have some email syncing and stuff that goes on but not too frequently and I think Juice defender should be managing most of that when I am not "using" the phone.

I usually do not have wifi active since I have a good 4g signal most places and unlimited data. When I look at battery usage 'Display' @ 51% is by far the biggest user followed by 'Cell stand by' @ 14% and Google Maps @ 9%

basically, on most days my phone seems to be almost dead by lunch even though it is just setting there "doing nothing".

Does anyone have any suggestions. I would include more info but really don't know what might be helpful.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Get BetterBatteryStats and see what's up. It shouldn't be doing that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Another thought - how long have you had the phone/battery? I had to replace my battery a while back as it wouldn't hold much of a charge (and therefore deplete uber fast) - once I got a new battery things went back to how I remembered them in terms of battery life.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fsuinnc:
Both sound like good suggestions. I bought the phone used over a year ago and as far as I know the battery is original so I don't know why that didn't occur to me right away. New battery on the way so I should know soon if that's it. as always, thanks to all for the help.

Baseband Version Conflict

I think I must of skipped a step here, because my baseband isn't the right version. Is there any way I can update my baseband/moden Via ODIN or CWM? Or am I screwed and have to start over, considering I'm not sure what I did wrong in the first place! HELP!

Model: SCH-I510

Firmware: 2.3.6

Baseband:

i510.06 V.EP4

SCH-I510.EP4

Kernel Version:

2.6.35.7-FP5

Build number

SCH-I510.FP5

Mod:

Tweaked 3.2
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Prettu sure there's an EP4 to FP5 modem updater laying around somewhere, so get that. If you want to be on FP8 modems flash that updater AFTER you confirm that you're on the FP5 baseband. Kernel looks fine, but you're going to have to do some trickery to get to the FP8 kernel (assuming you want it). Lazarus FP5 is good enough for now.

Edit: scratch that. I get my OTA's mixed up. Easiest way to get to FP5/FP8 is to go back to stock and take the OTA's up. Then flash CWM and install Tweaked.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Eldarath:
I figured that was the case, I'm too used to working with an Inc.

Alright... Here's the question - does the fact that Cydia (not sure of the spelling) is going to support Android, not just iOS, mean that there is going to be a way around the RIL issue from those iron fisted whore mongers (no offense intended) @ Samsung? I read an article on Android Police (I think) that seemed to indicate that this would allow Devs around certain proprietary restrictions.

Does this mean anything for us?

"You live & you learn. Or you don't live long..." - LL
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Umm, in no way should it allow us to circumvent hardware problems. Probably by "certain proprietary restrictions" they meant that Cydia will allow hosting of apps that break rules of the play store, like SMS spammers or DRM circumventors like lucky patcher. I don't really see the point though; any tweaks are here in Xda or other forums and usually involve flashing in recovery, and any apps can be found on github and the like.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chocoburger:
Heya, I know I don't post much, but I wanted to say to dwitherell how much I love my Tweaked! About 20 months ago I had a silly goal of mine, which was to see if I could have my phone's up time reach 1,000 hours. Over the past 20 months, every time I got close, like say 750 hours all the way through 950 hours, something would cause my phone to either reboot, freeze, or power down. Boo.

Anyway, last week I finally reached 1,000 hours! I know it's a pointless goal, but it's not something that's possible on the awful stock ROM. Anyway, I got up to about 1,150 hours before my phone froze (screen wouldn't turn on even though the phone was on) and I had to hold down the power button for about 10 seconds to force a shut down. Oh well, goal still achieved. :laugh:

That said, I can't wait to leave Verizon and switch to this year's new Nexus phone. The Droid Charge was an awful experience on stock software, which I used for the first 7 months of owning the phone, but ever since I came to XDA, this phone has actually been usable. So thanks, Devon, for this great ROM! :highfive:

When do you plan on finally giving up on the Charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] BPS1254:
So I finally got tired of the update notification and tried:

- Installed stock rom via Odin

- Took all available updates back to FP8

- Re-rooted and flashed back to Tweaked

And I'm still getting the update notification!!

Phone info shows Baseband is FP8, but Kernel and Build are FP5.

Did I do it wrong? Anyone else have the same issue?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
That's because tweaked is still fp5. Go to build.prop and change the fp5 in ro.build.fingerprint to fp8.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BPS1254:
You are excellent! No more annoying notification!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] beavermjr:
Any chance that Tweaked will be updated to FP8? I'd like to try FP8 update but need a ROM as I don't like stock look. One of these days I'm gonna have to learn how to tell the phone to stop asking me to update.

Thanks man! Ok and here's my next vague issue, I am stuck at the Samsung logo on boot whenever I try to install the stock FP5 kernel after installing T3. I can still get back into CWM, have tried a battery pull before reboot, still can't get it to actually boot. Works great with the FP1 kernel though, so maybe I should just wait for a custom one to come out? Or do a clean install through Odin?

Mr. Dwitherell,

Quick question please. On 3_0 Beta, I tried to do a cwm backup and it was successful. Then I tried to do a restore and it failed.

Now that I've the Charge where I want it, I'd like to do a cwm backup.

Do i need to mount /system in cwm before I do the backup? I've never had to do that before but wasn't sure if this Charge is different.

Again, great job. We really really appreciate your hard work and dedication.
