I downloaded this LWP that came for the 2.2 update for the Galaxy S line. Problem is that it seem to force close when you try to select it. This is the link to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798282 Seems they were never able to really get it to work on most devices. This is a greak LWP and wish we can get it working on our Dincs. Hopefully someone can make it work.

Thanks I was hoping there would be way
for me anyway....
I couldn't sleep so I spent some time reading the galaxy s forums for fixes we could do to our Infuse's froyo that didn't involve flashing a different kernel, if you know if any more please post up.
FuguTweaks - I had been setting my own memory settings in "galaxy tuner" to leave about 100mb free of "EA" memory, this helped speed up the phone quite a bit and takes care of the "lag" we get when only about 60mb is free. I then found this FugyTweak and it seems even better. It only leaves me about 80mb free but much better than stock.
Browser Lag - I used the non mobile version of engadget to benchmark before and after, it does seem to stutter less.
CM6 mms.apk - I have never been a fan of the TW mms app, cm6 set to black theme works great!
I mentioned galaxy tuner earlier, you can get it in the market and the LCD color adjustments do work if you want to tune your screen, I haven't made it that far yet. I also haven't tried the 3d sound thing.
Please try everything at your own risk, I have no idea if any of this will eventually turn my/your phone into a flesh hunting screamer.
I would not recommend that browser lag fix for the Infuse. That was for a very specific problem that early Captivate Froyo builds had. Don't think the Infuse suffers from the problem that needed fixing there. I think I'm a good person to trust on that specific topic as well.
This post has to be the best one so far to ME! I did not know about the app galaxy tuner. I was able to make the screen look WHITE when I dim it all the way down. Before it was like egg white sort of color. Also the 3d sound and EQ worked perfectly!
Thanks OP!
Has anyone else been succefful in using the mms.apk? I've fixed permissions and everything but it will still only take me to the defualt screen where you see all your messages. When I click on a thread it goes black and does nothing.

You think?
There was an app I had on my Nook Color that was similar to Galaxy Tuner.. It was made for the Nexus One and it let you adjust the color of the LCD a bit. Does anyone know the name? I'm dying to use it on my Infuse!
Okay, i stayed up all night working on this, i think it's passable...for now.

I didn't add ANYTHING to this rom, i just combined a stock CyanogenMod7 and Destroyer. Which means it was in one of those.

I'm pretty sure you get the google apps from either rom manager or go the kush deck's thread in the evo development section and he has gapps w/ sprint vvm as well as regular gapps... I'm pretty sure its a, we aren't supposed to include the gapps but its not a huge issue if you include them, situation... Rom looks pretty cool from the video... I'm gonna give it a couple days to see if we can get the fc's figured out... Thanks for the hard work! Good to see fresh stuff popping up!

duh it is aosp huh, but not even letting me sign into google account, and im on cwm 3.1.0.1 and refuse to flash anything else so ill never be able to flash from cwm no browser so this is beta for sure
I said I was going to try this for a day but I could not get it working and I had a few personal issues
My review:
This is my little review
First off I want to say I had a major problem with the fact that there was warez everywhere in this rom. ADW EX, Root Explorer, and launcher pro plus where what I came across in the little time.
I think the moderators need to close this thread until it gets taken care of.
Besides that the ROM, well I couldn't even get it set up. Rom manager was outdated but couldn't update it in market because it would f/c so I could not flash gapps from rom manager constant browser f/c so I couldn't dl a gapps flashable (my computer is out) so I couldn't really use the rom fully
As for my impressions it looks like straight cm7 with a few warez apps and a couple fonts and a some animation changer that I didn't try but in previews looked cool
All in all I would call this ROM unstable and unusable for right now. Needs work. And I know you said you didnt add anything but these pay-for apps need to leave the ROM
I know this may sound harsh but it's only to make the ROM better. I hope you take what I have to say into consideration
I went checked out the original rom for the evo and it has all the warez apps in it. So he was being honest. I think that one should be locked as well, until those apps can be removed.
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Idk, it seems really cool to have some of those paid apps built in... I know for one I Wouldn't mind the rom being built around apps I already use or want to use.
Sent from my HTC EVO shift 4G running the latest and greatest cyanogen using the XDA premium app
Link is down because paid apps are included in this ro and this goes against xda rules.
In the meantime that OP will fix the rom, this thread is closed, OP pm me when you have fixed it.
Thread Re-opened, OP fixed the rom deleting the paid apps.
I have to say that he didn't on purpose, he used the other source rom (under investigation) and in good faith he didn't check it, well i say that sometimes it could happen, anyway, i asked him to remove the paid apps that i've found, if someone think that there are some others, please, pm me or OP so he can fix it.
Thanks all for cooperation and thanks to OP.

My apologies, I'm not one to rip off someone who put time into their development and (rightfully so) decides to collect some money for their time and IP.
As for the other issues people have had, I can't seem to replicate them. I'll be back around my fiance's shift in the next few days and see what other issues she's had since using it everyday. Hopefully can eliminate them if I can repeat them.

Yea i get it you were just porting the rom that already had the warez in there.
Sorry if in my post I made the fustration pointed at you that wasn't my intention lol.
If i remember my problem was getting GAPPS to download. there was no way for me to do it.
I had tried ROM manager to flash GAPPS and that wouldnt work because it said ROM manager was an "outdated" version.
So i tried to go to the market and that would F/C "which made me need gapps more" and then the browser would force close so i couldnt actually download a flashable zip for GAPPS. So i could never actually get it set up.
Hope that helps.
For me it was just a few different problems that ended up all coming together
Whenever I flashed it and linked my Google account, it popped a prompt asking if I wanted to download gapps and then popped a list of them for me to select from.

When I get my Internet back up and running I will try this rom. And thank you for being honest and removing the warez, even though you didn't put them in. I had a feeling it was an honest mistake

Not an ASOP guy, by any means. But glad to see someone else doing Dev work for the Shift . Just have to watch where you get your resources in the future . But KUDOS on the rom.
any more work on this rom being done?
I'm sorry I haven't had the time to give this the proper attention it deserves. I hope to sit down after my vacation and go through this and really tear it down, hopefully figure out some of the issues and add some features. Will be changing the name as well to not be associated with the blatant piracy.

Next is root your phone and decide if you want to place a custom Rom on your device.
If you want to place a custom Rom - just read the development section for a few days until you get a feel for what going on -then proceed from there..
I was thinking of that, I rooted my lasnt android, and it gave me major problems, lose all contacts, camera not work, bootloop etc...
Sent from amazingly huge Samsung Infuse.
Rooting can *lead* to problems but not actually *cause* problems. Only improper flashing and modding can lead to issues. Good news for you though - rooting is not required to get enjoyment out of your device. I should know. I didn't root my Infuse for the first month I had it. I just didn't see the need to do so.
So, what exactly is it that you're trying to do?
Just make it the most enjoyable and personal as it can get. Im gonna end up rooting it eventually. But not now.

Download Appbrain from the market. It's free. You can see popular apps of the day (I almost always find at least one or two to download whenever I go through the entire list) and it can provide recommendations based on what you have installed.

Look at the "Browse Apps" section of Appbrain as much as you can. The list changes daily. You'll start to pick up on what you want and how to find it.
Okay. That app is pretty cool. Haha. So what about personalize and customization?

The best way to experiment with finding them is to search what it is and peruse the results. If you saw a calendar widget, search calendar widgets (and other search terms that might turn up results) and sometimes you'll be able to find them. Otherwise, just quote the post and ask the name of whatever you want. Sometimes the poster will answer, and often times, if someone else knows, they'll answer.
And another question. When I use different launchers, launcherpro for example, they are all very laggy, so are there themes that dont need launchers?

LauncherPro is a bad example. It hasn't been updated in a year. Try a different launcher. I recommend ADW EX. Lots of people like Go Launcher. You could always stick with the TouchWiz launcher too if you want. There's nothing wrong with the TouchWiz launcher. Themes don't generally require a specific launcher unless their respective dev says so.
Like others have said, the best way to find what you like is to simply try things. Become familiar with tools that you can use to backup and restore your setup in case you run into things you don't necessarily like.

In all honesty if I could some how convince Amazon to let me to a return I would probably do the same. Not because of the specs and not because I don't love my Infuse but because there will probably be better community support in the form of more devs and longer support.

I was using launcher pro for awhile and liked it, felt like it wasn't that laggy at all. It just didn't have the ability to customize as much as say ADW or Go, but just before I replaced it they did an update that improved a lot of things, and you can now do mass customization. Currently tho i'm using Crazyhome as my launcher and I really like it.

i am currently running the infused rom on my infuse 4g and i am noticing a lot of people talking about the MIUI rom. can someone tell me the big differences in the roms that makes them stand out from eachother. which one is more user friendly and such. i have uploaded a screenshot of my homescreen using go launcher ex.
really no replies yet? c-mon people help me out. i have been looking around and found a new rom that looks amazing. i am not a total noob at this stuff i know what i am doing. the new rom that i am looking at is called sensation rom and it looks amazing kudos to the guy that designed it. if you are running it please feel free to fill me in about it too. i am looking to flash a new rom soon and want to know what is the best that i can get for my infuse. here is the link for the sensation rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325177

you can wait longer than an hour lol
to get an idea of how the roms are different, you can watch some videos on youtube.
miui is a big change from most roms, it's probably best to just flash and see if you like it. it's not like flashing is permanent

the sense Rom is good, i will leave it at that.
i dont like to hype Roms, cuz they are different for everyone....you may not like the features on one while someone else absolutly loves them. Miui is the MOST customizable rom that is out there. Cm7 is a great Rom as well. i can find good things to say about most roms i have tried on the infuse. and i have Tried them ALL...lol
i say flash away, if your not a Noob - i know your not scared of a brick right.
take the time and see if you like it, if not Flash another and another and for ****s and giggles flash another.
trial and error is the only way to really see if a rom works for you.
It's al about personal opinion man, in my opinion, you should backup your current rom and then flash miui and give it a try. the worst that can happen is that you won't like it and all you have to do is restore from your backup.
Its just two ROMs..!! And you are on Infused. Try out MIUI for a couple days and keep what you liked more.

I've just flashed to MIUI. This is purely my opinion alone.
- It's has a very clean interface with no "crapware" at all. I've to install everything from scratch. That's a plus point anyway.
- And there's multitude of customization that can be done. From themes, to settings, etc.
- But the thing that I don't really like is all my installed app sitting pretty on the home screen.
- I do notice that it's faster than the original infuse interface. Faster browsing too.
- I think it has problems handling more than 4 gmail accounts and Google voice seem to be working erratically.
Apart from that, everything works fine and I'm still figuring it out further.
Think of MIUI as a REALLY REALLY GOOD knock off of iOS.
its CM7 with a skin. lol. basically.

youtube would be a great idea if i werent at work where it is blocked. haha. but thanks for all your help everybody. i may flash MIUI just to try it out. thanks!
Personal preference tbh.
so just to cover my ass a little, if i make a backup of my current rom using rom manager and i dont like MIUI i can always restore from the backup that i made? and when i do decide to get MIUI what and where should i get it from?
MIUI is in the developers section of the infuse forums. It is usually on the first page due to so many people posting on it, it isn't hard to find.
well i did it. i flashed to MIUI and i am going to see if i like it. so far i am not happy. i had my phone to backup all my contacts to google and it didnt and i even moved them to my sim card. so i lost all my contacts. but all in all its going to take some getting used to. will either upload pics at some point or maybe make a video to help people like me who are a lil iffy on rom flashing.
thanks guys for all your help!
I've been running MIUI for 3 weeks now and I LOVE it.....sleek, customizable, fast, faster browsing than stock....but I would recommend trying both to find the one that works for you
