[Q] infused? or serendipity?

I am currently running infused 2.1 with infusion kernel...i guess i can say overall i'm pretty satisfied with it but i'm kind of weird sometimes about my phones and i love to try new things. so i was thinking about going to serendipity 7 and trying it out but i'm wondering from y'all...would i be wasting my time? what's really the difference? should i just chill and stick with infused? i mean the only thing i'm dissatisfied with is the 15fps video capture but i know that won't be any differnt since i'd still be on GB based ROM.
another thing too would be setting up my phone again after switching...like GO launcher settings and all my app settings. nothing i haven't been through before i suppose.
whatchya thinking?

S7 is awesome, and if you want 30 fps video, all you have to do is follow look at this thread

Nice. I will def try that later. I assume it will work with Infused 2.1 then?
And also are you saying that serendipity is more awesome than infused?

The 30fps camera fix worked for me running infused 2.1.

I read the thread again. I see it should work either way.

I never tried Infused 1.6 or 2.1.
I liked Infused, but I thought S7 was smoother. If you like the TW theme, I'd go with infused though.
It all depends, try them both out!

I have to agree with Eric on this. I like the look and feel of S7 better but that's just me. And that's my answer... today. It could change tomorrow. LOL.

OK so I'm def gonna go s7 tonight and let the fun begin! I haven't used tibu before and been wanting to try it anyway. So thatll work out for me.
Is there anything else I need to add? Like custom kernel or anything?

^-- What he said. I use Infusion 1.1 GB

Aight. Flashed s7 and fixed video capture. And I'm a cool cat now. I like the simplicity of the rom and I'll defense be rollin without go launcher for a while. Its nice and everything but a lil busy for me. I'm def feeling this s7. Nice and sleek. Comes with some cooool wallpapers too. Thanks for the advice.
Oh yeah. If I had infusion kernel flashed over infused do I have to do it again now or should it stick in regardless of changing roms?

In my experience, I have to reflash the kernel again.

As stated before, try them both. I'm on Serendipity right now and loving it, but I'm about to try Infused again. Last time I tried it I couldn't get passed the Samsung logo.

I'd definately agree. I had Infused 1.5.3 before S7, and I thought it was a good upgrade from stock, but Froyo is jerky as hell compared to S7. I'm definitely going to be a free agent though once they get HDMI fixed.
Gotta try them all!

S7 is quite slick. However after about 14 hours I am seeing decreased battery life (more so than on infused although it wasnt great there either) Not really a deal breaker for me as I come prepared... 1 x 3500 battery and 3 x 1800 batteries LOL. Just try and stop me haha.

So am I safe flashing S7 right after I root with the infusion kernel or do I need to flash the infused rom first?

S7 is fine

Audiophile

Hi there,
I've been lurking for a while, trying to absorb as i've information as I could before I worked up the courage to flash my phone.
yesterday was the day I finally decided to flash 2.3.4 audiophile (instead of deciding to go with 2.3.5 Valhalla). So i'm curiois as to what makes audiophile a better "media" ROM as compAred to Valhalla?

Anyone?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

it is mentioned in the OP of audiophile, but overall, it is supposed to have better sound tweaks.
i like audiophile over valhalla because (TO ME), it is more stable for the way that i tweak my phone. valhalla lasts forever once you undervolt it, though.

that thanks jag

Thanks, curiosity satisfied
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

I prefer Audiophiles because it is very stable, sound is amazing and it's fully themed. Also, it's performance is snappy, no lag at all. I have been on them since the first one came out for Froyo. Also, Valhalla and ICBINB are great roms too. All better than stock of course. So maybe you could try them all, like I do, and decide later.
*At the moment... I'm using Valhalla just for curiosity and was told KI3 had better wifi signal. Tried ICBINB some days ago too. All great. Anyway, this is just until Raver releases an update. I will jump back, no second thoughts.*

I flashed Valhalla yesterday because wifi calling volume was incredibly low on audiophile. Seems the same so far, but to be faire, I haven't done anything too intensive or out there, mod-wise
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Heavenly Sin,
I thought the low calling volume on Wifi was always there? Are you suggesting that was 'better' on Froyo?
btw: I run Audiophile and luv it. Nothing against others, its just where I am at present and its proven to be very stable and responsive. Props to Raver

wifi calling is low on froyo rom's.. specifically Bali kernels.. its loud and clear on gb roms but wifi id low signal lmao
sent from my real Gs move in silence like lasagna

I am using Audiophile FTW and let me say it's great. I love this ROM. Tried Valhalla before this but I was getting random restarts. Switched to this ROM and haven't looked back yet.

Raver, you gonna port audiophile to a kj1 base anytime soon?

Already super smooth/no data drop like on CM7, will install thunderbolt or USAS soon.

CM7 is working for me right now. It may be getting a little bit old, but since it is running stable for me at the moment, I will probably stick with it until AT&T releases GB for our lovely big screened handheld supercomputer... jk we will never get GB... at least not before we get ICS

Darky -> Dlev -> Galnet MIUI ICS (Black Ice ICS theme, GO Launcher with additional ICS theming)
First time opting for a non-Samsung ROM as a daily driver. Even with its hiccups, it's smooth and stable, and I get my hardware accelerated 1080p FLAC+subtitles MKV with DicePlayer. I'm missing the TouchWiz contacts app though.
Edit: Screenshots:

Hay GGX im kinda interested in seeing what you have setup, if you dont mind editing your post and putting up couple screenshots of what that looks like, would be nice to see
Thanks again for our infuse members placing their votes, i really wanted to see how our members have been using these roms , especially with the incredible dumps which have been coming lately lmao

Tried a good few of the roms available, like them all but seem to keep falling back to CM7. The phone just seems to run the best with it. And the UCKJ1 modem is the best I've found for the area I live in!

Sorry, but I didn't (I did some searching, but I didn't actually try to install it). I did everything using only MIUI's built-in settings and GO Launcher.

What is glitch and how does it work?

I've just installed dark knight 4.0.4 on my good old captivate phone but with all this new stuff that I've put on my phone ( I came from an old froyo soft) and new on this android era, I just want to know what is glitch that everybody is talking about? Do I need it? What is its function?

Glitch us a kernel that gives you a nice combination of speed, battery life, and voodoo

I think the same !!!!

Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitch

Thanks for those answers, well I just get one of it into my ICS'd phone but really don't know how it work, well I might have an idea now

What is Glitch
Glitch is a GREAT Kernel. I ran it on my Captivate Until Dark Knights 4.0.4. I don't think it is developed for that rom yet. Otherwise it is top notch.

If you are using glitch, get the NStools from Android Market so you can over clock and play with BML, power, and the like...
