[Q] Droid Charge Future

---

I tried to research this everywhere in the forum but was unable to find anything. So, I apologize if this has already been covered. Additionally, I've tried to research this across the rest of the internet, but I have a few questions:

1.) I really don't care for the way the current touchwiz version looks on the Charge, but I really like touchwiz 4.0, which is running on the Samsung GS2. Does anyone know if the Charge will get touchwiz 4.0?

2.) If it's not going to get touchwiz 4.0, and it doesn't look like I should get this phone if I want Cyanogenmod, but I would be happy with a rom that took it down to stock android. I had an Incredible (before I broke it) that was running Cyanogenmod and loved it. What are the chances of getting a pretty stock version of android running on the Charge?

3.) For those with a Charge running Launcher Pro, how has the battery life been?

Thanks for all the help and sorry if I missed something in the other threads.

We probably will get cm. Recently galaxy phones became supported and the charge really is a galaxy phone just called a Droid.

Development is very slow on the fascinate side. The problem is Samsung code. Also, the new ril is a hack job from my understanding so cm is a ways away.

Getting touchwiz 4.0 is just a matter of porting and I believe that's already done or in the works.

the GSM galaxy s phones have official cm...the fascinate/epic have fairly good unofficial versions...however none of these phones are dealing with lte ril...also they all have a lot more people working on cm for it

so basically cm is a longshot, at best

1. I think that TW4 is coming with Gingerbread, or that is when it may show up. If it doesn't come with the GB update that I'm going to assume we're getting, it can likely be ported over much easier then.

2. We may get AOSP/CM at some point, but it could be a while. I do think that as time passes and more people get the phone, and I and others have more time to work on it, we will get a pretty good debloated ROM that is about as stripped down as possible.

3. I don't think most launchers will affect battery life so much as what you have up as widgets on the launcher. If you have TW up without widgets that require data, you'll probably use less battery than LPP or ADW setup with widgets that require background data. The nice thing about using LPP or ADW compared to TW is that they use a less resources usually, and tend to be more configurable.
