How To: Root and Flash a Custom ROM for the Samsung Droid Charge

I was recently eligable to upgrade from my original Motorola Droid and choose to go with one of Verizon's new LTE handsets. The Samsung Charge (SCH-I510) is a great phone and does everything one would expect a modern smartphone to do, but makes a great example of how phone manufacturers customize Android devices to the point they can become very frustrating to use. This is an unfortunate side effect of Android's openness, and often tarnishes Android's reputation as a mobile OS. In my case, occasional performance issues that make the phone unusable until rebooted.
