greetings fair ones...i've a new ship, The sgs4G - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

i've arrived from the vibrant forum to a new home, and it is indeed a strange land.
anyway, loved the vibrant forums and look forward to these. while visiting the store for a warranty exchange the CS rep alerted me to the fact that i was in line for a Free warranty Upgrade?!?!?!?! to the SGS 4G free o' charge...i said yes. i've started reading the Bible's post on porting vibrant roms over, i'm using Jetpack 3.1(my favorite port to the vibrant) as my vibrant rom. it's my first real attempt at trying to do this and succeed or fail i want to go through with this...if any of you have pointers towards more resources please point! currently i'm really happy/impressed running stock rooted with TW's Bali 3.3 Kernel using the Go launcher. glad to be on board.

Welcome to the SGS4G forums. You can get started by looking at the rom threads that you like and just reading some posts and ask questions, alot of questions . Our community will gladly assist you on what you need to get done. I would normally suggest reading the Bible but it hasn't been updated in a while. It still has alot of useful information, so you can still check it out if you please. You will most definitely enjoy your stay here.
P.S- If you want Gingerbread right now, there's a thread on the development section called The gingerbread starter pack by fbis251, it's a sure way to get on GB the RIGHT way, even though I'm still on Froyo LOL.

Thekucho: Why are you still on froyo?
Newguy: Welcome to the forums ^•^ yeah like kucho said use fb's starter pack to jump on gb there's some pretty great roms out there. U might wanna check out Valhalla which to me is the trusty one and octane if you're looking for something fresh
PS just don't use ROM manager lol

[Q] where is the Infuse forum?

If Ive missed it could someone please point me at it?
Ive searched and cant find a forum for the Samsung Infuse, Mods could you please create one.
Thank you.
yes please create one.. you guys create forums months ahead for phones that dont even have a release date yet!!! seriously can we get the forum up already... thanks!!
Yes!! Also wondering why this phone is getting no love.
I would also like to see an Infuse 4G Forum.
Still no answer..... Where's the forum!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I was wondering the same thing i plan on taking my atrix back on sunday for the infuse on the 28th day of my 30 day return policy lol.
Where is it? The phone comes out in 2 days and there is no forum yet?!
Yeah i'm still waiting for the infuse forums......
This is actually quite pathetic... they've posted the XDA-TV of them playing with the Infuse, yet haven't made a forum for it yet.... it literally comes out in 2 days.
I'd really like to see some CM7, or TW4.0 ported to it... and an official publication of the SuperOneClick root.
T minus one day...
What a joke!!! .. you guys create forums for phones months ahead with no release date but dont put up a forum for a phone with interest by community members that comes out TOMORROW!!! .. step it up or let someone else take over.. and yes we are starting to get a little agitated!!
The phone comes out bloody tomorrow... this is REALLY pathetic...
Will a mod be posting anytime soon?
I agree, where the **** is the forum for the Infuse 4G?!?!?!?!? It is coming out tomorrow and I expect it to be a bag of poop if it gets no community support
XDA must have some sort of vendetta against the Infuse.
Maybe its evil,either way this atrix is going back tomorrow and im picking up an infuse. But it'd be awesome if there was a forum for it!
Just adding my vote as one that would love to see a forum for the Infuse as well.
And the phone is currently out....
Still no forum. I was holding out a little hope that the forum would be put up on launch day but still nothing. Can we get a straight answer at least. Will xda no be supporting this phone? Is there a lack of dev support? I hate having to go to android community for forums.

best infuse rom

make your case here
Been happy to run stock for a while, but going to load something new tomorrow
currently using infused 1.5, I like the stock look but wanted the extra tweaks and features like bloatware gone, better battery life and its noticably faster.
Infused gives you 2 options at startup for launcher, either a much more revamped version of touchwiz 3 or the gingerbread style launcher with 3d drawer. I prefer the revamped tw. most of the core components your used to with stock will be there but you get the open market, not att crappy version, widget picker so your list isn't a mile long, hotspot enabled and some other stuff, just read the changelogs. So if you love the stock look but want the added stuff infused is for you.
I never understand questions like these lol. There isn't a best, it's a matter of personal preference.

You. Should Read the entire thread of both roms you're interested in and ask questions there. There's no need to clog up the forum with pointless threads.
It's pointer because there are already threads about the roms. Post there.

I'm using Infused 1.5 (with the 4.5 TouchWiz launcher found here) + bedwa's Infusion Kernel.
Gtg's rom is already very smooth and quick, added in the OC from the Infusion kernel and this phone flies. Also, the battery life is pretty great thanks to the rom in itself and the UV'ing from the kernel.
Really enjoying this setup as of now, the only thing that would really make me change is if a developer produced a CyanogenMod rom or an MIUI rom.
Having tried all three, there isn't a huge difference and it comes down to personal preference. Once you're on ext4 you can literally flash a new rom and kernel in the same amount of time it took you to come up with that monster slam "what are you from Missouri" lol
Edit: and trust me, once you flash one, you'll end up trying them all. You should start with infused since his thread has very noob-friendly instructions for people like you

I've flashed more roms than I care to in my time, but I'm traveling on work and I have limited time I'm on wifi to download roms to install. Don't want to wait 2 more weeks until I get back home, so I figured I'd ask people who have roms installed.
that was a nice attempt at an insult in the edit, but you betray your ignorance in the first paragraph when you defended Missouri.
In the words of Grandpa Simpson "I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah."
Thanks for posting this thread and in the right spot!
I have infused and enjoy it, I am curious about the others but all the rom threads are wanked now.
There are a couple of things I have to do on a daily basis that make switching roms every other day impractical.
My phone requirements run more to usability than looks, fortunately the infused rom provides a nice stable base for both.

made the thread in general discussion and kids just still can't help but flame
what the hell's this forum for if you can't even make a thread about favorite roms and pro's/con's without being flamed by 12 year olds
Shouldn't have called the thread "best infuse rom" maybe "which rom works best for you and why"
Frankly, there is no best rom. Its all preference.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
There's a reason we mods don't like "best rom" threads. Unnecesary flaming, name calling, etc.
Like the others said: there is no "best" rom, only the one that best suits you. And you have to find it yourself, no one can do it for you.

MIUI for SK 4g

Is there anyone working on port a MIUI rom to the sidekick 4g or know how to do it. I whated to try to port the vibrant MIUI rom to the sidekic 4g but I don't know how.
Sent from my Sidekick 4g rooted stock rom 2.2 using Tapatalk
Ya I kinda wondered that myself...MIUI would be awesome..hopefully we can get some devs over in this section. Just picked a SK4G and so far pleased.
This is a pretty interesting post considering I just tried out MIUI on my old Vibrant. An amazing ROM. I'd put some money into it if they were interested in making a SK4G version.
I've ran MIUI on my HD2 for awhile now and switching to the SK is like learning a whole nea android lol...there's one on the Vibrant...how easy would it be to port it since the guys are about the same?

Spec wise I believe the phones are the same, but really aren't. Keyboard, camera, RAM, GPS (it works lol), Jump Button, Track Pad, etc. I though the same when I got the SK4G but found my self way off haha. I guess the base is all the same as a Galaxy S but there are certain changes to make the phone cheaper.
I'm sure if someone got a hold of the Bali Kernel that drhonk created then it'll be a step in the right direction.
whats miui?
This should go to general , & this is why developer's quit the SK4G because of people like you . Stop asking for roms or ETA's it get's developer's pist off .

Miui would be nice for the SK4G, but as fawk said this should go into the general section since this has nothing to do with actual development.

Honestly this is why developers aren't here in the SK4G section because someone asks if there is a rom development going on? Just about every section for a phone if someone doesn't see the type of rom there is a question asked if there is anything being developed for it. Something like this shouldn't cause a developer to leave, it should show them that there is a interest in a type of rom.
That being said I do agree that people shouldn't always ask about a ETA on a rom that's being developed because yes that does annoy the developer.
Thing is as much as I love a MIUI rom and would want it I have seen people get bashed (fawk mainly) for having these types of posts in the development section. This community is dying because everyone is so divided. But just saying that yes we hope someone will develop/port MIUI over to the SK4G and I don't like people giving etas but people have been literally forum-yelled at by people for posting this stuff in development.

Whoa don't gotta be so harsh to the guy. If I remember that's the same reason gtgs post got locked. So he made a mistake ,big deal.
Infuse running infused v2.0.2.
To the OP - It was a legitimate question. To me, it's about development, so should be asked here, but the moderators say questions should be asked in the Q and A section.
When asked a 3 months ago, it was said the lack of ROMs was waiting for Rogers to get GB. That came and went without updates. Now the same is being said for AT&T GB, and we all know the timeline ATT runs on... the government minus 50%.
Either way, there aren't many ROMs for the infuse, so it's kinda just a wait n see thing. I'm sure the couple that have been around will stay around, but ATT's next killer phone is coming out this month or next, so Infuse is going to end up in the graveyard of cell phones past from a development perspective, IMO.
I don't think galaxy will bury the infuse. I think more people down the line will get the infuse cuzz prices will.be cheaper.

I disagree. It's like saying when the iPad 2 came out it made the iPad 1 more popular. Sure, there are some incremental sales because it's discounted, but 95% of the iPads sold within 6 months of launch have been iPad 2.
Just the nature of the beast, that's why when ATT releases proprietary releases it kills the users development ROM options :-(
The reason is because some of the more influential developers have begun looking down on "hey look I can deodex too" ROMs. I personally believe that's the problem. There should be more "hey look I can deodex too" ROMs. Without those, there is no development.
Hey, "hey look I can deodex too" propigators... read this. Pay attention here.
There needs to be more encouragement for those who want to make their own ROMs. It's a pride thing. If someone believes they did a good job, then they will continue to work and do a better job.
I whole heartedly believe that additional ROMs are required. When I get some time I will be making one. I'd like to wait until we get an official or leaked 2.3 source because I'm not a cutting edge type of guy. I'd rather work with a solid base and improve upon it.

3 Months ago this phone was but a twinkle it Rogers eye. Stop acting like a fool. As soon as the dev's (gtg) got his hands on the Rogers dump, Infused 2.0 popped up. Others are still working on their GB roms, or they are waiting for AT&T to release it. The CWM build is updated almost daily.
Seriously you have 1300 posts and if this one is any indication, none of them are worth anything.
Guys, calm down on the flaming. That being said, I don't understand the question (which btw, should be in the Q&A section). This phone is still relatively young, and we have bionix, infused, refuse, and now we even have ports for cm7 and miui. The development is about to kick off even more, and I can feel it already. Also, I don't think people who are new to development are afraid to post ROMs. I would love to post ROMs, but I need guidance on how to make them. For me, it's lack of the proper tools and guidance, not shame stopping me from development.

sent from my Infused goodness
most important thing is we need stable roms.
used to have htc inspire and there were plenty of rom and more or less stable.
i feel infuse is not popular right now and Samsung/ATT are also to be blamed for delaying Gingerbread.
but i am counting on the devs who are working on infuse one way or the another.
This is exactly what I DON'T want to see in the development forums. This is a discussion for General, but it started out as a question, so Q&A.
BUT! It's in development. The discussion IS constructive (as long as you people keep playing nice ), so create a thread like this for discussing this in General and you can continue.

The process for creating ROMs on the userland side is pretty generic to Android, you may want to do some generic Android research.
Personally I'm fine with the level of ROM development. Quality, not quantity.
I am perfectly fine with the roms we have as well but i would also like to strech my horizions and be able to contribute. "Having roms that we are fine with doesnt meam there should be less development" with that said i would like to return to my first post and get.sone.help in learning

As I said, do some searching. MikeyMike01 has a pretty good tutorial located somewhere else on XDA - captivate forums maybe? Or generic Android possibly, I don't remember.
Thank you for the reply i will look into that.
