ROM Preferences? - Samsung Infuse 4G

I'm trying out Infused and the Bionix. Do you guys have a preference between the two and what do you like about them? A general discussion is all I am looking for, so far I've been pleased with the infused and I am running the infusion kernal over.

What's the most stable kh3 rom ATM? don't be defensive

There's a few kh3 roms floating around, just wondering which is the most developed atm?
My vote goes for Victoryrom 1.3. After one tiny problem with Buddies Now widget fc on me (solved by removing the apk) I have had zero issues whatsoever so far.
Cool that's kind of what I was leaning towards
fusion II is nice, slick, stable
all of them are highly in development. we dont even have a kernel source yet. i would recommend cog if you want a captivate rom. but KH3 is not ready to be a daily driver IMO. also im sure you are aware that there isnt a "best" choice, only what people prefer. i am on Apex and i have no problems or issues with it. easily one of the best developed roms ive ever used. i am rambling now. lol try victory or fusion.
ramble end...
Also, not to be a pain in the ass, but threads like this usually don't last very long around XDA...

I know they don't, I just wanted to get some input on current development from actual users of the roms
I am using VictoryRom 1.3. So far it seems stable & reliable. Battery life is good too!
I am on apex and am really liking it,,no real problems
Before its closed I'll give another vote for victory rom. Currently runing 1.4 and it's really nice and stable. Certainly a daily driver....no issues whatsoever.

Here is a list of all the roms so far.

Don't forget about Hellraiser, which allows you to run I9000,Captivate and possibly Vibrant roms also(only been tested on I9000 and Captivate Roms).Try'em all til you find your flavor.
And I would not say they are better than Infused or worse. Everybody has a favorite.
Hell, the jk2 leak is running great for me. I mean almost a day and a half battery life, fast, don't need any hacks or work arounds. All the other options bigfau mentioned I've tried, I like speed and stability and this is just what's best for me.

if you do not have to have GB i highly recomend infused 1.6 froyo
been my daily driver since it was 1.4
very fast and stable
FBN
I use serendipity 7 with hell raiser as my daily and really like it. If you don't mind working a bit to customize. Battery is good, got 30 fps working, using jl2 modem, and used the charcoal theme from the website for a clean look.

try them all and judge for yourself
I recently got my infuse and im ready to shop for some roms. Infused 2.2.3 will be my first try.
Im really trying to go for a red and black theme
Cryogenic mod 7 for me. It's very fast, stable, customizable and works with the wii mote/ps3 controller. Only downside is the normal bluetooth a2dp doesn't work yet. I was on rogers stock gb, but cm7 is better for sure

does it work well with music streaming apps?
I used vevo and youtube no problem, so Pandora and other music streaming must work just as well.
I guess I'm confused as to the point of the original question. Infused hasn't been updated in a month, so you're wanting an alternative? Is that right?
Given that AT&T hasn't released an official Gingerbread ROM (and we're lucky that Rogers did), and the official ROMs are generally the source of custom ROMs, it's really no shock that a) there aren't more custom ROMs for the Infuse and b) Infused hasn't been updated in a month. However, just because it hasn't been updated doesn't mean it's outdated. That's important to note. I mean, short of just slapping a new modem in it and putting a new version number on it, what else is there to do? (Random rhetorical question: If there was a modem added every time a leak came out, and the ROM had a new version number slapped on it, would that be enough to call it "updated" and keep you using it?)
Personally, I use CM7. I use it because I have been using it for ages on my Captivate. It's fast, bloat-free and includes what an OS should include - just the facts, ma'am. If I want anything else, I add it myself. Bluetooth obviously isn't 100% and there are other quirks that pop up from time to time, but it's something I'm willing to deal with and I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. YMMV, of course.
Try MIUI, you'll never look for another new ROM again

Holy moly you can do that? Ha well I recomend either dlev or cm7 the compiled version. This is because dlev is just plain cool and fast (good job big fau) and cm7 is just plain fast and awesome for the people with the need for speed. Dlev has a good blue theme, and cm7 is just endless with their themes. Dlev has everything working except hdmi of course, and cm7 does not have bluetooth and hdmi not working. I recomend either of these two roms though, as they are very stable for me, while I would actually get force closes on infused every once in a while. Oh by the way, cm7 has a newly compiled rom almost every day. Dlev is probably better for a newer flasher though. Ha miui may be good, its based off of cm7 but has an iphone like look to it.
use infused + uckj2 modem and gb kernel
If you need bluetooth for streaming audio or making phone calls (at least with a car stereo) then forget about CM7 or MiUi. Neither work for Bluetooth in this regard.
If you don't, and you like customization, then I'd start with those two ROM's first. MiUi and CM7 are totally different, but both top dogs at what they do.

So far so good with my infuse running Dlev rom

What ROM and Kernal should I flash?

What ROM and Kernal do you think i should flash?
I want a fast, stable rom... I think stock is pretty fast but i haven't installed any custom roms yet so i dont know how fast it can be...
But i also want a decent battery life... right now i get about 15 hours on stock but i do use my phone pretty heavily.
and please dont just tell me to flash them and find out which ones i like... i dont have time, and i need a stable phone.
*I heard TPC v3 with Da_G's kernal was good but a while ago i heard it had SOD problems? is that still a problem or can it be fixed?
**I'm also thinking undervolting would be good. can someone give me instructions on how to do that, and what frequencies to use to improve battey without a noticable speed difference
Flash them all. Pick the one YOU like the most. All have pros and cons.

i flashed sky-ics and when i pull down on the notification bar nothing happens..
Personally I am on stockmod 2 with silver's kernel. But everybody had their own opinion. That'd why I said try them all. Use each fir a couple days then go with the one you like. Don't forget nandroid before you flash anything, just in case.

if you dont have the time to flash multiple ROMs to see which one you like then you shouldnt be trying to mod your phone at all. flashing a different ROM successfully and restoring your previous settings with titanium backup is about the shortest amount of time you can spend modding. its the more than likely troubleshooting that comes with using non official software that takes up the bulk of the time. and no ROM is perfect and we dont know the balance of stability and speed your looking for, so we could all say a different ROM-kernal combo and you would be in the same situation of having to try a few out.
if you must know at this moment i am using skyics 7.4 with fauxs kernal but yesterday i was using alien rom with da_g s kernal which i flashed on saturday and before that i was switching off between quikwiz and buoyancy with a stockish kernal. i plan on using NexusMod 4 when it comes out for a little bit.
it all depends on my wants/needs from a ROM at that particular point in time.
Go with TPC, is faster than stock and just as stable. TPC was the ONLY Tom without sod issues, on any kernel, but I recommend faux's sky-kernel 009m and the fauxclock app to undervolt, waaaay better battery
I tried 4-5 ROM`s in last few weekis since I got Skyrocket. I am now on Sky-Ics 7.4fast ROM and it is the best one I used so far.
I've been on SKY-ICS for a couple of weeks also and have been fine it. But I agree you just need to install some ROMs and decide which you like best. I also liked the Coke ROM.
But these are all gingerbread, where is ice cream sandwich???
My wife has a Galaxy Captivate which has much better dev support and she's running ice cream sandwich. Ice cream sandwich is way better than gingerbread!!!
You should flash them all and find out which one you like best.
I didn't have time to read either...see how that works.
A. Making demands of other peoples time is not nice. Politely asking for something if you have put the time in reading and researching on your own but still cannot find an answer is a lot better.
B. Not reading is going to end you up BRICKED!
C. ROMS and Kernels act different for different people. I have issues with the current UCLA3 kernels, but others do not. This is not unusual with kerenls and ROMS on this phone.
D. Currently, I am using Alien 6 and the Kernel that Romracer included (non-UCLA3 update) and I like it alot. I havn't had a chance to test it 100% but so far so good. The kernel, however cannot be under / over clocked or volted.
So good luck, I have a feeling you are going to need it.

You need to relax, take a chill pill, breathe in, breathe out. Feel better now?
Most people don't know that because we don't spend every waking moment of our lives on XDA reading every thread through and through. This kind of info should be on a sticky or on a wiki in blatantly obvious fashion so anyone coming to this subforum can easily find the answer to why there is no ICS for the Skyrocket.

Which ROM is the best?

I see quite a few custom ROMS being actively and heavily developed in the Dev forum for LG G2x, and that makes me wonder which ROM is the best? best means performance, UI, and maybe battery life as well?
*Sigh*
They are all good, why dont you start flashing then post back here when you can tell me which is the best
P.s. There are tonnes of threads exactly like this if you spend 5 mins too search
Edit: Team Hellfire FTW!!
Look around. Flash away. One Rom might be best for you but not for me. It is what works for you. Try searching other 29585 similar topics. They will tell you the same thing.
Sent from my LG-P999
Well what are you looking for? A stock rom, use Bionix Reloaded. A CM7 rom, use EaglesBlood. Or ICS, use Hellfire or AOKP. These are just the best roms that have worked with me, so I recommend flashing them and if they dont work for you, try others.
Also, I always use Faux's kernels. Hope this helps.
Sent from my amazing G2x running EaglesBlood and Faux.
Hellfire Phoenix has been the best for me although I haven't really tried many of the others. I hear good things about EB but honestly you just have to flash and try them out to see which will work best for you

Looking for a general consensus...

First off, shout out to all the amazing Devs. I envy you for what you can do.
So I was looking for some feedback on what you guys run on your G2x's for custom roms and kernels.
I've played with alot and keep finding myself going back to a GB 2.3.7 ROM.
For GB I have personally used:
EaglesBlood
Hellfire Phenoix v2.2 and just went to v2.3 on launch.
A Rooted stock 2.3.4
Atm I am running cm7-kang-G2x-135
I've never messed with a nightly before, but I love it so far.
Most of the time I use faux's kernels.
For ICS:
Paranoid Android JB Flavored
EaglesBlood
Hellfire Sandwich (loved it for about 5min, than non stop FC on com.phone.android, uninstalled)
Genesis
Domination
MIUI_G2x_V4
So I was just curious what setups your running and if your happy with them.
I wish I could get a modded rom that supported bluetooth. Making I'm not looking in the right place? I know all CM7 based BT doesn't work. Anyone have an ICS ROM that will playback video ok? I had MX Player running on one but I can't for the life of me remember which ROM it was, I've DL'd so many now.
