so far so good...

I went back to stock EP4 took the 2 OTA upgrades. Then ODEN'd tweaked. I made sure to tell ODEN not to reboot so I could boot into CWM which I did. I then deleted the cache/data and rebooted. I then reinstalled apps from backup and the Samsung keyboard. I've been reading email and playing with the phone. So far all is good. about an hour.

I guess it was rebooting before installing tweaked and not deleting data/cache that caused all the problems.

I have yet to change the theme. should I or might that screw things up?

If I could make a few requests for Tweaked.

1. Eclipse Color scheme. I really dislike the color of the calendar widget...

2. The stock charge boot animation doesn't say "Droid"

3. Shutdown animation based upon the png images.

Thanks much for all the help.

I'm so glad this worked as I had to pull the battery 3 times while backing up due to freezing.

Bad news... I think I'm Jinxed. OzEmail program started force closing on me.

Can it be that the bugs are back? All I did was change the theme to touchwiz4.

Now I'm back to the stock BNBTweaked theme and all is good for now. I will report more tomorrow.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
TW4 has a themed OzEmail in it - have you tried wiping data in the app?
[Verizon Droid Charge] beavermjr:
I haven't tried wiping data. Will do if email acts up again. Right now I'm liking the black and blue theme because the calendar widget doesn't have green text on a black background. I so love black text on a white background. So much more pleasing to the eyes. Oh, and the phone is so fast.

My only complaint, and it's not a complaint really, more me being lazy, is that email programs do not by default show images in mail. I wish I didn't have to press buttons to see images. Oh well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Hawk03:
Thanks for the work on the Rom, its what my phone needed.:good:

If you use K9 mail, you can change the setting to always show images.

Speaking of wives... Just gained access to my wife's phone (DROID charge) and put tweaked 3.0 on it and it runs a lot better... Almost as good as my sg3 ;) one issue I've noticed though is her led indicator light no longer goes off... I've tried both removing as well as re checking the enable notifications option in twm as well as doing tweaktools and installing /un installing the mod there to no avail. While it doesn't bother her much it would be nice to work

[Verizon Droid Charge] starbuckk:
There is no light. There is an app called NoLED that causes small icons to appear on the screen in place of a light when there is an active notification which coincidentally is why I am here right now. It has crashed a couple times since I Tweaked. I saw the option for "Notification Lights" in the options, under a lable which says it needs "BLN Mod". I'm trying to figure out what that is AND what the "Notification Lights" does. I've used NoLED for a long time and its a good replacement for the lack of an LED light.

But I am wondering if the "Notification lights" thing is conflicting with it and crashing it. I was just going to remove it if that notification lights option would adequately replace it.

I've only had Tweaked 3.0 a couple days. Interface is great. But for some reason suddenly something is killing my battery (3 hours and its toast). Still looking into it.

Anyway, can someone shed some light (no pun intended) on the above concerns?

Thanks.

I know this is not the forum but my two cents .. I've been using xperia home.its responsive and gives me what I want as far as options. Not as fancy as some but I refuse to sacrifice performance for fancy image wizardry.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elffry:
I hadn't heard of NoLED before, and just downloaded it. I'm running stock FP5, but I also have GoSMS and other apps that probably don't play well with it. Anyways, I installed on FP5, but can't get it to work. Were you able to use it on FP5 prior to flashing Tweaked 3.0?
[Verizon Droid Charge] starbuckk:
Yes it worked great for me pre-Tweaked. I may give it another shot as there might have been some other conflict. If set up properly, you will see a little blue square in the notification bar. When phone is "sleeping" but you have a message, email or missed call, it should show a little icon (different type for each of the above) floating on your screen. You can also set it to show them intermittently to save battery power..but I'm told that with the AMOLED screen, the tiny size of the icon will use minimal power. It also has an option to prevent it from showing notifications at night.

I don't remember having any trouble setting it up initially.Problem is, you might not be totally sure its working as unless you make sure you tell the notification icon to show (I think its optional) you won't know its working until you get a message or email while the screen is off. And once you turn it on, it no longer shows those icons until a new one comes in, again while the screen is sleeping.Of course it should show as "ongoing" when you pull down the notification window.

Hey all -

Three things:

1) Remember the Q & A thread :)

2) Tweaktools will be a bit iffy for a little bit this evening as I update things. That being said - remember that themes are version-specific...

3) I am not making an update-only zip for this on tweaktools. This is because of some particular changes I made to the updater-script are better suited to a full /system install - sorry for the inconvenience

There is some setting in the router you might want to check. Not sure off the top of my head but I was messing with ours here at home and made it give faster, and more reliable signal.

The changelog in the OP says init.d works now. I got 77tweaks and Renice from Tweaktools. I assume they are working since I found the init.d folder in /system with the 2 files in there. The thing I'm a little puzzled about is there is no test.log file in /data. I was under the impression that it should be. I'm sure it's ok but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

[Verizon Droid Charge] jeraspie28:
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned or experienced this, but I dl and installed 3.1 as soon as I saw it available. Every time I manually modified the build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density from 240 to 220 (which is usually the first thing I do after any new rom) and rebooted I got stuck in a bootloop and had to Odin to get back to normal. I have NEVER had this happen on any rom or phone. I'm just stickin to 3.0. Just me?
[Verizon Droid Charge] o0BlacknesS0o:
I've literally modified and or replaced the build prop at least 15 times since i received the update from dwitherell and the official release and no bootloops so I would venture to guess that your issue involves another factor such as not setting permissions correctly or making an error during editing

BTW I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO POINT OUT THAT DWITHERELL HAS THE DEFAULT BUILD PROP AVAILABLE ON TWEAKTOOLS SO IF YOU DOWNLOAD (not install) PREVIOUS TO EDITING THE BUILD PROP YOU CAN EASILY FIX ANY BOOTLOOP DUE TO USER EDITING ERROR

ALSO SOMETHING THAT I HAVE FOUND EXTREMELY USEFUL IS THE AROMA FILE MANAGER WHICH WHEN FLASHED ALLOWS YOU TO BROWSE FILES ON THE PHONE AND SDCARD WHILE IN RECOVERY WHICH IS GREAT FOR HAVING TO MAKE A CHANGE WHEN YOU ARE UNABLE TO BOOT

Fyi, installed via cwm 3.1 and then jd theme. All is well. Many thanks.

Although, I did notice that dslices tweaks were not in the build.prop, so I went in tweak tools and enabled it. Have not restarted since, but I think I need to.

Thanks!

[Verizon Droid Charge] beavermjr:
major phone errors/problems.

I have EP5 software, Tweaked 3, Samsung keyboard, stock voice mail program, and stock screen capture app. I'm using the black and blue theme.

I've been running into many problems with the phone:

1. Lots of lag. Example of making a call...dial number, press call button, get taken back to the home screen, wait 15 seconds, call initiates.

2. Lockout security, Screebl Pro, and advanced task manager...every so often, they close for no reason without any error messages...I notice they are not running and restarting them brings them back but within 15 seconds they are not running. Rebooting works but eventually they act up and are not running.

3. When ever I open a website that uses flash, I notice that flash is not installed. I close the browser and reload the flash player from backup using titanium backup. The flash player works until I reboot the phone, then it does not and has to be reloaded. At that time when reload is required, the player is present in the app screen, but does not work properly. I've looked for the program in the market and it does not exist. I found an updated version online, but it too exhibited the same problem. Currently I have 11.1 installed...oh wait a minute, no working version is installed because I just rebooted.

4. Battery life is horrible. I can get maybe 2 hours if I'm using the phone. about 6 hours if I don't touch the phone. I usually plug it in if I plan to do much with it.

When I had these problems a few weeks ago, I reloaded the phone from EP4 stock taking the 2 OTA updates and loaded tweaked ROM via ODEN. I was sure to reboot into recovery and delete data/cache before using Tweaked. The phone worked for about a day before the stock email program started force closing. I swapped out the email program with k9 and thought all was fine. The phone now acts up at least a few times a day and needs to be rebooted. On occasion, maybe every day or 2, the phone locks up and my only recourse is to pull the battery.

What can I do? Load stock EP5 and live with it? Go back to EP1 with Eclipse ROM loosing the EP5 update items? What exactly is in the EP5 update?

Mike
[Verizon Droid Charge] jeraspie28:
Thanks man. I appreciate the help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
You shouldn't need to reboot - his build.prop is a cwm mod so the reboot was already done for you :)

No good to hear the thumbs down is continuing. I am unsure why some apps are closing for you or not working and others are not, nor can I speak to any battery life issues as any impact the rom would have on such things is minimal at best. It sure seems as if something phone-specific is going on, but it's hard to say what it is unfortunately. If you aren't wanting to try 3.1, you first and foremost need to be happy with your phone - if I were in your shoes the first thing I would do is go back to stock and see if that behaves for a few days. If so, then I would try going to a different rom (like eclipse, though you'll need to go back to fp1 of course) and see if things continue to behave. If the issues ended up being the result of my tinkerings, I do apologize - it wasn't the intention to cause frustration, and for the most part feedback has been positive, which makes this situation all the more perplexing.

Another possible option is to stay on what you have already installed, but wipe data. Run the phone w/ no (or at least VERY minimal) apps for a day or so to see if it behaves. If so, start slowly adding in apps (1 at a time, not more than 1 or 2 a day) and keep an eye on battery drain/onset of lag/issues to try and isolate what might be causing this. Good luck, and again sorry for all the trouble.
[Verizon Droid Charge] beavermjr:
I hate to reload via oden and what not. I think i'll delete data and see what apps cause problems.

Btw, any way of getting the flash player ro work till a replacement is developed. I love to watch football on the go.

Flash CWM w/ ODIN, wipe data, mount /system, then flash the 3.1 zip in the OP. Or - just ODIN the 3.1 + 0302 CWM file, though I would wipe data afterwards (or before really - it can be done with the stock recovery).

It shouldn't, but from what I've heard experiences vary a bit on that one. It seems to work for some and not for others.
