just found this thread. so, if I am still running on EP4, rooted, Tweaked 2, if I used all the right words (basically, I escaped #5 update) - I can not use Tweaked 3 on my phone? I have to bring it OTA latest update state first, right? As I have no issues with my phone as is, so trying not to fix what ain't broken..
[Verizon Droid Charge] o0BlacknesS0o:
You can use it but you will have guaranteed problems because it is built from the fp5 update

[Verizon Droid Charge] ukrkoz:
OK, so either bring it up to fp5 or don't update. Thank you. is it worth updating? I am not a power user.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Of course it's worth it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ukrkoz:
sounds like sunday project then
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
The FP5 update is the best thing to happen to the Charge. Then Tweaked 3.0 gives a great customized and debloated rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ukrkoz:
Just did it. Thanks all for advice.
[Verizon Droid Charge] justflorin:
By guaranteed problems, are you referring to the phone not going to deep sleep and staying in wake lock?

Sent from either my atrix, sgs2, sgs3, or xoom using the fabulous xda-developers app
[Verizon Droid Charge] o0BlacknesS0o:
No i was referring more to signal and data issues...if you are experiencing deep sleep and wake lock issues, they are prolly related to apps installed

[Verizon Droid Charge] ukrkoz:
actually, I reverted back to T2. phone became much slower and kind of "wretchati" with T3. Sorry. works much better and signal strength - didn't know there was problem - is back to 4 bars.

Once again, thanks all for response. Like I said - don't fix it if it ain't brok.

If I'm having issues with slow redraw on the home screen, is there anything I can edit on the build.prop to help?

I remember doing it on tweaked 1 successfully, then when I tried it on tweaked 2 it hosed everything up (probably my fault for using ES file explorer).
[Verizon Droid Charge] sbradley07:
Should be the last line of build.prop. Un-comment ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
[Verizon Droid Charge] crovax33:
Okay, tried this, and I'm stuck in the Samsung bootloop. I used this text editor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jecelyin.editor&hl=en

Does not work =\ Now I have to figure out how to fix.

So, PSA for Tweaked users: don't do the home_app_adj fix. It has boot looped my phone in both Tweaked 2 and Tweaked 3.

Reinstalled using the CWM zip. Only big bummer about that is I lost my Jellybean theme and I can't get it back because now it has been removed from tweaktools.

Does anyone know where tweaktools stores theme downloads and if there's any way I can reinstall manually?

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
I whipped up a flashable zip for Tweaked 3.0. This will stop the home screen redraw and if you happen to boot loop again from a build.prop edit this will also fix it.

Download: Tweaked 3.0 No Redraw
[Verizon Droid Charge] crovax33:
Thanks Paul. Only wish I had downloaded this before trying it myself. Could have saved the JB theme and the mini-freakout re-flash I had to do.

Cough...root explorer...solves...all...problems...
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
I thought I put something like that up on tweaktools... is it not there?
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Stop being cheap and get it. If you're going to work with files in your phone you need it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
Yep it's there. I completely forgot you did that for Tweaked 2.2. Only makes sense you have one for 3.0
[Verizon Droid Charge] o0BlacknesS0o:
It's there...people just aren't looking...it's there plus the default build prop

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

This method does work guys...I can guarantee the reason it failed here is that permissions were prolly not fixed after he edited the build.prop...common mistake and the actual tweak and original build prop are available in tweaktools

Ah, there's my issue. I was looking in tweaks.

Well, does anyone know where the themes are stored on the SD card and how I can manually install one? I want to get back a them I previously downloaded. I'm guessing if I can find the SD card location I can just mount everything in CWM and install from zip?

EDIT: Found everything in TweakTools on the SD card, mounted all that I could and installed using CWM. Appears to have worked. Also bought root explorer so I can stop being a cheap ass. Thanks everyone.

Sure, but it'll be pretty minor, maybe 5 or 6 little things I've stumbled on. There are a number of other things that have my attention at the moment though, so it'll be a bit.
[Verizon Droid Charge] amofiav:
I updated to tweaked 3.0 via cmw today and it loaded fine with no issues. I lost SU and couldn't get it back. So instead of doing what i was told to do in the instructions (no computer handy) i went ahead and reinstalled after i ran the format and cleared cache. it installed fine and starts to boot but the screen goes black. I've tried to reinstall several times and it appears to install correctly but still will not boot. Any ideas or do I have to wait to get in front of my pc and run odin?

thanks in advance
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Not the right place for this - but you need to go into the Superuser app to get su "installed" - not sure why it's set up like this but I'm sure there are very good reasons. I have yet to have a lost-root scenario after flashing - I just make sure to open up the app first thing.

The problem is you are cluttering the thread with worthless advice and obviously aren't reading the directions given by dwitherell which is exactly why you mess up and are taking all kinds of completely useless and wasted methods of trying to restore your phone after you mess it up because you "miss" a step

Major Radio Issues

So, I browsed through the thread, and unfortunately, I think I'm the only one having this problem..

Lately I've been noticing my radio has been dropping more and more often. I pull out my phone, and a lot of the times I have no service. (I normally had fantastic service before the FP5 update..) I have been missing texts, and not receiving them after I restart my phone to restore service. I have tried putting the phone into airplane mode, but it freezes the phone, as it can't decide whether its in airplane mode or not. (The airplace replaces the signal bars, but the check box in settings says airplane mode is disabled. Checking the box freezes the phone.)

I have been missing texts, calls have been dropping, and with my new job starting in a few days, I can't afford to be missing potentially important info.. Also, this isn't a usual drop in service. I can tell something is definitely wrong, and after restarting the phone, the radio works again (for a while).

This happened after 2 separate flashes.. I was running Tweaked 2, and flashed EP4D, then system updated to FP5, then flashed Tweaked 3. The radio drops started happening more and more, so I downloaded all of the files again, checked all of the checksums, flashed EP4D again (including kernel and modem) then OTAed again up to FP5, and flashed Tweaked 3. Same thing is happening again..

I have center clock mod, notifications right, system info left. I'm not using any task killers or battery savers. I have the AlchemyICS (i think) theme running. Those are the only things i've changed in T3. I doubt the center clock mod or the notifications switch would affect the radios, but that's the only thing i've changed..

I'm going to go into Bestbuy tomorrow, see if I can talk them into replacing the phone under warranty or something. Its still a bummer though. Any thoughts?

Oh, and i mentioned I tried out PimpMyRom a while ago. That was on the first flash. Second flash of T3 i didn't use that, and it still happens, so its not that.

Hope i don't come across as annoying or whatever.. With the new job starting in a few days, i'm stressing, and didnt need something like this happening. I haven't tried going back to stock FP5, because frankly, if i had to go back to stock, I wouldn't end up keeping the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
It's usually wifi proxy settings that cause this. It needs to be blank.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Eh, I doubt that. It wouldn't cause problems with cellular service. I would try going to Verizon (on stock ofc) and getting a new SIM before you try to get a replacement device.
[Verizon Droid Charge] o0BlacknesS0o:
Try going back to ep4d with Odin then take the updates then leave it stock just to see if you are having the same problems...besides you have to go back to stock before you take the phone to best buy since rooting and custom roms void your warranty

Droid Charge powered by Jellybean flavored TSM Tweaked 3.0
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
How about going back to stock ep4d then ota to fp1 and stay on fp1 see if that radio is better for you.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dSlice:
I've had the same problem. I think it is Verizon's doing though, they just added 4G here and things haven't been the same.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SO_dank:
Same problem with radios...never had a problem like I'm having now..radios are independent so what radio would you guys consider the best..I'm in the trial state area
[Verizon Droid Charge] mad3963:
I had the same problem when I had my notifications swapped. I switched back and the problem went away. Doesn't make sense to me, but it worked.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SlickNashville:
I had a number of problems when I started flashing the different themes (through tweaktools). I missed the part about always going back to the black n blue theme before trying new ones......I am not sure if that can affect radio and modem performance or not....but once I learned not to flash one theme after another my problems disappeared.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Antoneus1231:
Hmm. I have flashed vanilla, jelly, trics and now circuitry within the past few days and haven't had any radio problems. I never went back to b&b. I did however have some laggy graphics on answering the phone w trics and some other strange graphics anomalies.

An update/solution

See my posts above: #168, #174, #176

Basically, I was getting really fed up with the wifi/data connection acting up all the time with apps timing out, so in a final act of desperation, I turned to the Play Store. There I found an app called "FXR WiFi fix and rescue," which actually solved my data connectivity issues completely. According to the dev, it's called a wifi healer/fixer, which sounds like voodoo as far as I'm concerned. There's not much more information about what the app does, but I can say with certainty that whatever it did worked and I now have no more issues than I did with other roms, stock or otherwise.

I don't mean to hijack this thread with 3rd party app info but I thought I'd share in case there's anyone going through something similar. Hope it helps someone out there!
[Verizon Droid Charge] deafptl4ever:
If you had a problem, you installed it wrong somewhere. This rom is as glitchfree as any rom I have used and I've used many from G1 to Fascinate, and Charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
In the OP of this thread Dwitherell recommended that we go here and follow the instructions to go back to EP4 stock. Then take the 2 OTA updates. Then flash Tweaked 3.0. I used the Odin version Tweaked + CWM and my phone runs perfectly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] crznazn991:
Thanks for your replies, but as mentioned in my first post, I did indeed follow dwitherell's suggested instructions. When I first ran into the issue, I, like you, thought I must have skipped a step somewhere, so I carefully reflashed my phone from stock; however, the issue still persisted (after re-downloading all files and verifying MD5 hashes). I did not have any issues with the previous versions of Tweaked based on earlier builds, so I turned to the forums.

While I am not completely dismissing human error on my part, I don't doubt that my phone has hardware issues, as it's one of the earlier hardware revisions and I've had it since launch -- just thought I'd share the solution that worked for me.

Thanks all for your input!
[Verizon Droid Charge] nativesmiley:
i am on FP5 already, do i need to go back to EP4 or can i just flash this ROM?
[Verizon Droid Charge] o0BlacknesS0o:
You can flash this ROM...just make sure to follow all instructions and read the first few posts of this thread thoroughly

Droid Charge powered by Jellybean flavored TSM Tweaked 3.1
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I suggest the Odin version "Tweaked w/ CWM". It does a good job all in one shot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nativesmiley:
MY GENERAL RECOMMENDATION:

ODIN back to stock EP4D BEFORE you flash anything (which can be found here). Then either flash the two update .zips that are floating around or (likely easier) take the two OTAs to get to stock FP5E. It just makes for far fewer problems.

is this what i would have to do first or can just hook my phone and flash the Tweaked w/CWM through Odin?
[Verizon Droid Charge] sbradley07:
Since you said you are on FP5 already, you don't need to "ODIN back to stock EP4D." So either follow the "CWM installation instructions" (assumes you have CWM on your phone) or the "ODIN installation instructions" on the OP to get to Tweaked 3.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jusliloleme:
If you're stock FP5, then I think you should be fine simply (if there is such a thing) flashing Tweaked 3.0. Follow stuey's recommendation and use the Odin version he indicates. If you have problems later on, then you can always go the whole route and go back to EP4 stock before flashing Tweaked 3.0.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Whichever way you go at some point you need to wipe data/factory reset. Trying to run your new rom on data that stock used will probably result in problems. That is the advantage of going back to EP4 stock. It does wipe data. You get a good clean installation. I don't think the Tweaked w/ CWM package does.

phone sucks badly since upgrade

I was going to start a new thread, but since my issues started with tweaked 3,here goes....

I recently installed the OTA upgrade FP5 and finished it off with Tweaked ROM. I then installed the Samsung Keyboard, Verizon voicemail app, changed the color and startup animation. I’m now having some serious issues with the phone.

1.	The default OzEmail app keeps force closing about 30 seconds after starting it. I’d really like to use it but can’t. I’ve been using k9 in its place…

2.	Lag – If I try to make a call: press phone app button and wait for it to open. Once it opens, type the number and press the green call button. I then get a blank screen for 5 seconds and then am returned to the home screen. Then about 10 seconds later, the phone starts the call.

3.	I see the same lag when going into the gallery and in other places.

4.	Battery life absolutly sucks. I answer the wake up alarm at 6am and unplug it. I then leave it on the night stand till I leave for work at 8:30. Usually the phone reports 50some %. I usually plug it in at work so it’s got power when I need it.

5.	I’ve installed Advanced task manager and battery defender to try and keep power in the batt, but it’s not helping.

6.	Sometimes when I plug in the phone, it will not show the correct power level. Several times it has reported 50+ % and I know it should be higher based upon how long it’s been on the charger. I reboot the phone and it reports about 80%. What gives?

7. sometimes when I go to the web it just won't load anything and I need to reboot to get it to go.

Before I upgraded, I had the eclipse rom. This ROM had less lag and was more stable. Since upgrading and experiencing problems, I reinstalled the upgrade and performance is no where’s near what I would expect. I’m thinking about going back to EP1 with Eclipse and modifying the buildprop to ignore the latest upgrade. I may try going stock with root to see if any of the problems are gone.

What can people offer to me to avoid the need to downgrade?

Mike
[Verizon Droid Charge] o0BlacknesS0o:
First - What did you upgrade from ep1? ep4? fp1?

Second - did you upgrade to fp5 then immediately upgrade to tweaked out did you allow the phone to boot at least once before installing tweaked?

Third - Apps like Advanced Task Manager can often cause more battery drain depending on the apps on your phone

Four - By changing color...due you mean that you downloaded and installed a theme? Which one? Themes are not just a color change, they can contain different apps and modified apps

Fifth - Did you make sure to wipe data/factory reset before or after installing tweaked?

Let's start with those questions and then go from there

answers

1. I had FP1. Installed EP4 via ODEN and then took the 2 over the air upgrades.

2. After installing OTA, I rebooted the phone and then installed tweaked via ODEN.

4. I installed a theme using tweaktools...ASOPTweak

5. I didn't wipe data / factory reset since I had just upgraded (see number 1) and that wipes data in the process.

I haven't had any trouble in the past upgrading/adding roms.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dSlice:
You did everything to the book, I don't know what could be wrong.

Maybe try these and see if that helps you?...
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Well, first off sorry for what appears to be an anomalous experience with my tinkerings (at least I hope it is). If I were in your shoes, I would redo the ep4 + 2 otas, then flash recovery and wipe data before installing tweaked (I know, data was wiped before w/ ep4 odin - I'd try anyway). Then try running it without the theme for a little bit in an attempt to rule out the theme as the culprit.

Again - sorry for the bad experience. Truth be told, it's your phone and you should be happy with it, so if going back to FP1 and eclipse 2 will do that for you by all means you should. Hopefully this redo attempt may hold some improvements, but even this process is a task and is only worth it if you believe it to be so. That being said... I do hope you try :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] o0BlacknesS0o:
Yea what dwitherell said...you still need to wipe data right before or right after installing tweaked because you still rebuild some data when you allow the phone to reboot after the ota's and i think the email problem is related to the theme...the email used in AOSPtweak is not the stock email so you would have to go to settings/apps/system/email and clear data

Droid Charge powered by Jellybean flavored TSM Tweaked 3.1
[Verizon Droid Charge] beavermjr:
Thanks for the info. I'll try reloading EP4 and the 2 OTAs. I'll make sure to wipe data/cache after loading tweaked. Hopefully this will fix the problems as reinstalling apps from Titanium backup takes forever and I don't want to have to do it again. also I'll stick with the stock theme for a while to see if that cures the problems.

I'll let you know this evening what happens.
[Verizon Droid Charge] o0BlacknesS0o:
That also may have caused a problem...titanium backup has been known to cause some problems...just make sure not to restore any system data or apps and your best bet is to just restore non system apps and NO data at all...I know it seems like a pain but it's usually only a pain during that first transition to Tweaked which dwitherell has done a tremendous job of trying to make as painless as possible

So far everything is spot on.. I did get a reboot scheduler since it does lag after two days..reboot and bam snappy. One issue and only is battery drain. 2 was great 3 is killing my battery fast. I am using it no differently. I don't trust battery saving apps so is there w script I can run or anything I've read most people are fine with the battery. Thanks awesome job!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] dSlice:
You could always try this and see if it works for you... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1981446
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Beyond the tweaks dSlice has put together - truth be told the kernel drives battery life more than anything else on skinned roms like this. I haven't noticed a HUGE difference myself, but if I were to pick a direction of change, it would be that the stock fp5 kernel drains the battery a wee bit faster than the stock FP1 kernel.

As a completely random aside - my son was unbeknownst to me chewing on the end of a usb cord connected to my laptop. The way I found out - the laptop said it successfully installed the drivers for unknown device... Hmm...
