My take on EE4

[Outsider(Avid HustlaZ)]

Just yesterday i downloaded EE4 and rooted it within minutes...I COULDNT BE HAPPIER! My 4G signal is stronger, the UI is smoother, browser is 100% better...everything is tge way it needs to be! For those of you who have complained or thought about trading...do what i did..root EE4 and i promise you..you will not look back. If you need help/instructions look for my topic called "rooted on EE4...steps i took" for the info.

Go HERE

You can Start on Step #7 if you are already on EE4.

Read up on how to use ODIN - Here
Read up on how to use CWM - Here
You will need to use both in order to achieve what you want.
Read EVERYTHING at least TWICE. Be Patient. Good Luck.

OK so I was at EE4 and I went to step 7 and follwed everything through. I got root and was fine, I used titanium backup to backup the phone and to uninstall some of the VZ bloat. I then disabled voodoo and now whenever I try and install any market place apps they download and fail to install. Any ideas? THX!

@addictedtocars - The thread found HERE might help you out. Did you follow the guide step by step and install the SD Card "Fix" as well?

I followed everything I could, I finally went back to the stock EE4 and then I had stock EE4 OTA installed and then just did this:

[How To] Droid Charge Root, Voodoo Lagfix and ClockworkMod Recovery Installation Guide | TheAndroidSoul

which basically just flashes this kernel with voodoo fix, not ROM. What I did before hand was create the voodoo directory and put a dummy file named disable_lagfix becasue I did not want to change the file system.

VoodooChargeKernel4.tar.md5

When completed I installed Titanium Backup and frooze the apps I did nto want, then test phoen and finally did a batch uninstall of the apps I frooze.
So I am left with a very close to stock phone with root access and am hoping I will be able to accept any future OTA without having to do anything.
