Infuse Roms?

Hello everyone i just signed up and i own a Samsung Infuse 4G and ive been flashing some roms on it lately and i want to know in your opinion what is the best rom.
i tried zeus, and i like it but i hate build 5.2 and build 6, because of the fact that wallpapers do not scroll. live wallpapers do, but static ones do not. I love build 3 fixed for ZEUS because it has scrollable wall papers and the app drawer is transparent. i dont like the black background when looking through my apps i like it see through.
but, being build 3 it freezes quite a bit. i tried CM7, didnt like it. i want to try something else.
I hate flashing roms and testing them because every time i restore it gives me an error saying "No sdcard/.android.secure Found. Skipping restore of SD card apps." so i have to re install 1 by 1 the apps with titanium backup and its really annoying. once i reach my 10 post mark i will start to post in the developers thread but this is all i can do now.
in a rom in need stability, no freezing no non working elements, all that.
clean, simple and crisp.
no dumb animations to lag the os and use mass ram. clean simple and fast. id even use gingerbread with touchwiz 4.0 like on the samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket LTE that has a very good stock OS. maybe there is a way to put that on my infuse? I want to try s.u.r.f.a.c.e. rom but that's a hard way to flash it
any suggestions?

You can always Port your own ROM. Just saying.

If all you don't like about ZEUS is the launcher's look, then you can use one of the alternative launchers available off Market... err Play... or whatever Google is calling its new and improved more privacy breaking app download thing.
Off hand, the two I can think of are GOLauncher and PhoenixLauncher. I currently use GOLauncher on ZEUS and like it quite a bit, plus it's free. I think I'm going to give PhoenixLauncher a go after some of the bugs are worked out.

I agree, and also I'd recommend GoLauncher as I use it on Zeus build 5.2 and love it. Give it a Try!

I don't like those launchers iv tried them, I like touch wiz 4 which Zeus build 3 has, so I am using this for now.
Has anyone flashed the s.u.r.f.a.c.e rom?

Yerp on the surface rom...super lite...has lots of add on apps...smooth,stable....

The reason that wallpapers don't scroll is a SAMSUNG issue, not a Zeus issue, a change they made in the new gb leaks, so they wont change, on any rom built from that leak. Build 3 is no more and outdated, so if you don't want another launcher I suggest keeping build 3 because I removed it from the server. And tw 4 is way too buggy and unstable, that's why it was removed and will not return.

Alright thanks,
And now I understand that about Zeus,
But anyway great job with it its still an awesome rom. I'll try to flash s.u.r.f.a.c.e
How can I flash surface from my current position (Zeus build 3 with the ruxk kernel)?
Thanks for your replies

Well I'm currently running Z.E.U.S Rom Build 6. When I was stock GB (for the short time that was) I used the TouchWizz 4.5 Launcher, and I'm using it now. Scrollable wallpapers plus you can flash icon themes. Here is the XDA Thread Link:

Hope that helps man

From what i understand...its bad to restore all apps from TB, as some may not be compatible with other roms due to missing or added files
At least if your restoring the data part too

[ROM][CWM] Newest ICS UCLD2 leak - new: Facebook/Sammy KB Patch available!

Big thanks to designgears from rootzwiki for this leak & ks0 for bringing it to my attention:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23105-i727ucld2/
I'm from the T989 side. I was pretty excited for this, turned it into a CWM so enjoy
There are no T989 specific tweaks at all on this. I didn't change anything but what I say below.
*THIS IS A STOCK BUILD...with all AT&T and Samsung software UNTOUCHED*
I took it, extracted it (<3 WinHex), and turned it into a CWM flashable ZIP.
Aside from that, I added root and busybox to it.
Its fresh...built April 7
I have nowhere to host it...so here is a torrent.
If you can mirror it that would be good.
Initial downloading may be slow since I'm the only seeder for now.
(update: +2 more )
UPDATE
Flash these two fixes after flashing this ROM but before booting:
Root fix - Ignore the error after flashing this...then just go into Superuser and update after bootup
The attached UCLD2FontHotfix.zip to fix Facebook and Samsung keyboard
Run Fix permissons after flashing the above 3 fixes ^^
Cheers

Good Job man!

Downloading. I'll seed for a bit.

i go two ways with this
its smooth and everything seems the same
but im still finding bugs
so i either make two bases
or just take the best elements and combine them into one base
im having weird issues
but then again im not
mms works perfect
and email seems flawless
and i found some new build.prop tweaks
other then that its kind of meh same thing
i flashed my ucl4 build with the dl2 modem and bam
so i dunno i have this build propped and deodexed and rooted as well
but i find since im not releasing a stock version
im going to continue to improve upon my base

Bleh root is broken
Flash su over this if you want root
Sorry!!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

i flash with one click and root with metod mention in this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573218 works great..
BTW so fare bug i found is wallpaper not scrolling

I'm running this on t989. We can't use the one click file hence why I made this figured I'd share it with you all
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

still buggy
did one click also

Seems far more smooth to me on t989
For us this fixes some annoying issues

Still buggy but runs a lot more smooth for me. Hope to see a rom based on this, not just picked from.

There is a new Vibration intensity menu under Sounds..
Also, atleast for t989 users, this is what's been caught:
MMS is more stable. No more force close when delete
Better browser
Netflix works now
Shutdown works now
May or may not apply to you skyrocket folk

Sounds like you need to wipe your phone
Stale data probably causing this
Wipe dalvik
Format /system and /data twice via CWM then reinstall

Jerky Slow Scrolling Stock Browser

Hopefully someone can help. MY phone is driving me nuts.
I think I am currently using ROM Cwm-GB-2.3.6-Octane-V3.0 XPLOD NO CIQ (phone shows GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6). If those are different then my ROMs are not flashing.
About 6 weeks ago (running Octane 2.3.6) everything was running just fine then I flashed the power menu and my stock browser became jerky/laggy/jumpy. I have tried loading ROM after ROM but I am getting nowhere whatsoever. I tried flashing some Kernels but the same result every time is the jumpy browser.
I think I have applied the power menu fix but I still have the same problem.
Current Kernel is 2.6.35.7-T959VUKJ6-CL694130
I really only use about 2-3 website and had got used to the browser so using a 3rd party browser is not what I want. Besides I’d like to get this fixed and hopefully understand a bit more of what’s going on.
Thanks

I would try using the scrolling tweak by dsexton.

Octane it's an obsolete ROM, upgrade to A newer ROM
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Thanks for the suggestions. The scroll tweak may come in handy later. I did however get it fixed by downloading T959VUVKJ6-REV00-home-low-CL694130.tar
and then following the NOOB guide for ODIN here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
I'm happy just to be back to stock and start over.
Thanks again

The scroll tweak will make scrolling in everything else really smooth as well.

Anyone know if unnamed rom has that tweak precompiled?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I have this same problem on Anton's BAREBONES rom. It's frustrating because I love everything else works fine with the rom. The scroll tweak didn't fix the issue it's probably something else. I didn't have this problem with the stock rom.

I'll look later today. Seems like common solution for jerky scrolling it to patch framework.res and disable scrolling cache, which is overloading garbage collection.
Edit: Looked at it, unfortunately it's may improve only scrolling in lists (it patches AbsListView.) The browser scrolling cannot be improved this way.
Edit2: Fixed in Barebone 1.0.8

I installed the same rom, and I to have a jerky stock web browser, but what's more wired to me is that my phone looks stock Samsung and almost nothing has changed ! Is that how it is for you?
What new rom do you guys suggest?

"This ROM is very stock-like" taken directly from the op of that ROM.
So, yes, its like that for everyone that flashes. Do everyone a favor and read at least the complete op of anything your going to flash.
As for recommendations, its all about personal taste. My personal favorite to date is unnamed, but I'm currently on vb because I wanted a change and never gave vb an extended run.

Laggy and crashy, and that's on stock!

So I'm not new to rooting and custom roms. I am on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Bugless Beast Jelly Bean) and relied heavily on custom roms to keep my OG Moto Droid relevant after they stopped updating it at Froyo. I am however, hardly the type to have any idea how to code or compile, or any of that good stuff, so CWM and zip files are my friend.
What I need is a fix for a problem on my wife's G2x. Even on the unrooted stock OTA release, she was having significant lag, freezing, and crashes. I talked her into rooting and now it's even worse. Memory leaks are my best guess, but it's reaching a state of unusability.
My question, or request is more accurate, is I need to figure out a fix. I've looked at overclock kernels, and I probably will as soon as I have time with her phone again, but I'm worried about stability. She doesn't need all the fancy custom stuff, and really doesn't want most of it. Definitely not an ICS rom that's not 100% functional (no camera would prevent her from taking pictures of our cats so that's right out). Even losing the alarm tones that come on stock was unacceptable to her...
I'm just trying to find a stock-like rom, but better. Fast, reliable, consistent.
Any ideas?
Incidentally, a custom rom would probably be fine as long as it doesn't deviate too far from the stock UI, but if I do that I need a way to transfer her alarm tones. May be easy, but like I say I don't have much knowledge beyond how to flash a zip.

I guess for close to stock, it does offer a pile of customization features though, but you could try CM7. Its the closest to stock, but it fast, super stable, and near perfection.

Any advice on how to transfer the alarm notifications? I haven't researched this all that much, saw a post elsewhere that mentioned just copying the files out of the notifications folder, which is certainly easy enough.

I'm assuming these are sounds? If so take all your files and copy them into system>media>audio>alarms. And rename the file extension to what all the others in that folder are, but first try it without renaming the file extension. The folder placement might be different as I'm on ics and not CM7, but it should be close. This should work, but if it doesn't I wouldn't know any other way as I've never did it before.

Apps on Reboot

I'm on the new Cleanrom and I've noticed on the last couple times I've rebooted the phone that the phone it's updating something like 280 apps. I've always had it show around 150-160 when doing this. Could something have created a duplicate file somewhere that is mirroring my apps?
Sent from my HTC One XL using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I can't comment about the 280 versus 150 apps issue.
But is your phone updating apps every time you reboot? If so, it shouldn't be. I think this usually only happens if you clear Dalvik.

That number (280) seems about right to me for a Sense ROM, depending on how many user apps you have installed. Sense ROMs have many more system apps, Aosp ROMs have far fewer system apps, is the 150-160 range you're talking about on Sense or aosp?
Sent from my Evita

Sense Rom. And I should have clarified that it is only after wiping cache. I've always only had around 160 in the past.
Sent from my HTC One XL using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

When you've wiped in the past was it directly after flashing the ROM? If so that would explain the lower number as your user apps wouldn't have been installed yet. Other than that I'm not sure. I've always had pretty high numbers on Sense ROMs.
Sent from my Evita

Can going from an odexed to deodexed ROM be the cause of this? I'm asking somewhat academically, as I don't know the answer myself.

I'd like to know the answer to that too!
