Root [ROM ]--CHARITY--Smoked Glass Themed Version 12 !! Gingerbread 2.3.4

[backs4iu]

Power bar widget doesn't work on mine....shows up as being a blank bar.

Go into settings and turn on wireless, and turn it back off and then your power bar widget will work. No idea why it works......it just does

This is the first Gingerbread ROM I try that doesn't give me any LP lag/redraws. I had given up and gone back to Froyo. Really nice work! Feels like a new phone again - which is one of the best things about flashing new ROMS.

Dew - thanks!

Installed and tested bluetooth - from my end it still doesn't have any voice at the prompt. Is there something I should be doing to enable?

With the new ChevyNo1 kernels, is their still any advantage to using SetCPU, or is using it counter productive?

So,as with most GB roms I've tried,the multitasking isn't right. Has anyone tried to multitask with this? I'd like to see pandora, wifi tethering and navigation all going at the same time...do this without closing em in the background,I might be interested in trying this....but as with most,I doubt it'll work.

Well, I installed yesterday and played with it quite a bit. Seems fast...and stable, no FC so far. However, one MAJOR issue since I installed. My home network won't show up in wifi. I get other networks appearing randomly, and mine showed up under my old rom (SS 4.? - been a while...LOL). But I can't find my network now :-(
I've tried turning off/on the wifi, rebooting, rebooting router, all my other devices see the network....but not this. Any suggestions?

Replied on another board with same question, but seems more traffic here.

Just installed this rom, great ROM...loving it. However, I'm wondering how I could match my facebook widget with the other smoked glass themed widgets already installed?

Any help would be awesome! Thanks again for this ROM

Hello eveybody, (first time joiner, long timer follow)
Running v12 and so far no problems, smooth and super fast.

Thank you for all your work, looking forward to donating!

Had a problem with Google Street View not working, but after removing it and reinstalling it 3 times it finally started working. I depend on this tool way too much... I'm not sure how I got along without it.

This ROM Rocks the house! FAST, Cooler, Swifter, no LaunchPad hangs or hesitations... It just works and works very good.

-Stone.

Hi. I've been using Charity V11 for months and just made the switch to V12.1.
I'm liking it, but I do have some issues. They are:
1) the built-in keyboard doesn't light up at all
2) I get a force close when I try to access "about phone" in settings
3) although it's supposed to run cooler, my phone goes above 100 degrees
when I access the internet, facebook, market, etc.
4) the battery is draining faster than on V11

Any help with these would be great. Thanks.

I noticed all of these issues too, mainly the light-up keyboard not working. My phone doesn't FC when I try and access the "about phone" section, though.

Reinstall
First, wipe cache, system partition, boot partition, data partition, davlik cache, and battery stats
I'm running the same ROM on the same hardware w/o those issues\
that should fix it, let me know

 

[josh3ber]

I wiped everything, to the best of my knowledge. No more force closes, but the keyboard still doesn't light up. Oh well.

 

[OutOfPhase]

Anybody else having problems going from 12 to 12.1 without wiping everything.

 

[corrado_driver]

I dont get the FCs but my keyboard also doesnt light up. Also is there a way to get battery percent?

I have been struggling to find a snappy rom where both my banking camera app and Google music seem happy. So far so good. Only thing I see from time to time is the min brightness is quite low, also saw this on SS 5.4- a quick click of the auto brightness off then on seems to fix it - but a little annoying.

I agree, the auto brightness gets very dim. Other than that, it seems to be good!

Went from using ultimate droid 3.2 to this and this rom is so much more stable and fast! the only things are me getting used to LauncherPro and I miss the rotary wheel unlock with the option to add an app that opens on drag down, and I get camera noises on boot but other that this is very well done. Does anyone know where to get custom icons packs for LauncherPro and how would I install them?

Would like to continue to use this ROM, but I'm having reboots during phone calls....major showstopper. Also sometimes get reboots as a call is coming in, or immediately after a call has ended. Never seen this before on any ROM.

Think I've got to give up the dream that is GB, and head back to Froyo 'till the Droid 3 comes out.

i know what causes this, fixing it soon

 

[zeroibis]

Thanks for getting this new version out! I look forward to updating my phone after you release the next patch

 

[tobiasg]

Anyone running SetCPU with this? I am not at the moment and sometimes the snappiness is not quite there - But it is smooth and everything works that I need which is something I haven't been able to say about the other GB ROMS I have recently tried.
