Hey All......
Merry Christmas!!
Question...Once and a while when moving apps around on my home screen I get a "black hole" where I removed one app and and go to add a replacement app it will not let me place an app in that space on my home screen (or other screens for that matter). I have rebooted, re-flashed (cleared cache as well), and changed kernels as well with no resolution. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue and if there is a trick that I am missing. Weird thing about this is a short while later the apps that I was trying to add to my home screen it will appear in a random folder I have set up......
From my testing it does not appear that it is kernel specific, I was running stock kernel, faux 4.6 CM, and now faux 4.7 DS, and it has happened on all 3 kernels.
Here is my build
Eaglesblood 2.5, and Faux 4.7 DS kernel
Thanks!
I had this same problem maybe 4 months ago but I wasn't using eagpesblood then. I thunk I might have been on weapon or cm7 but anyways, it fixed itself after like 5 minutes if u don't move anything around

What launcher are you using? ADW Ex is great and has no issues.
This has happened to me since I got my first G2x fresh out of the box. I got a replacement since and it happened on that too, both with everything stock and running many different combinations of roms and kernels.

That is weird, I have not experienced it on any other build just Eaglesblood....
I switched to MIUI a couple days ago and will see what happens.
Thanks!!
I usually steer away from launchers cause I have not found one that peaks performance as well as I like but, I just loaded a MIUI build with a launcher and have not experienced that specific issue yet!!
I also built up the new eaglesblood kang ROM as a backup to mess around with to see if it was something in that ROM and my phone....who knows...
Thanks for the reply!!

I just started using a launcher, have not had much of a likeing for them but i am giving them another shot......
THanks for your reply!!
If it helps I noticed it only happens (at least to me) when I have a folder somewhere. I don't use folders anymore for this reason and it never happens now.

Still waiting on more development for the G2X, flashed the early release of Gingerbread and my facebook syncs don't work and neither did my gps, flashed Cyanogen and still had a few bugs and havent tried Bionix yet cause I don't like the all black theme. So I guess i'm patiently waiting for something to catch my eye.
And you started a thread just to tell us your still waiting? Lol you think anybody cares? There are a bunch of options out there to run most of which are amazing. Spend some time running the different roms and I think you would be pleasantly surprised that they are pretty bug free. It would have been a more rewarding time then making another I want more development thread.

Wow I can't believe you started a thread just to whine. When last time I checked, devs are not your employees or your slaves. If you don't like what's out there, tough, make something yourself.
To me, it seems like the rate of development is great compared to the time the phone has been out.
Really guys, calm down I was just expressing my feeling. You guys didn't have to reply to this either. I have been testing out other roms and these were my thoughts. Skyhigh2004, which rom are you currently running.
I'm running faux's aosp newest release and the ext 4 0.0.7 kernel. Smooth as butter, no lock ups, and everything that I have tried or needed works flawlessly. I have ran all of the roms on xda and I would also recommend bionix. I know you said you didn't like the theme but there is an optional stock Ginger theme in the theme section, its a really smooth rom. Try them out.

Just sit and hold your breath till a perfect rom comes out, seriously man how can you say you are waiting "patiently" when you start a new thread to complain....just run stock froyo! Or make your own rom!!!
G2X
Stock Gingerbread won't sync Facebook. Google did away with it. Only Custom roms will have this functionality.
As far as the theme, CM7 (and other custom roms) usually have built in Themes which you can download from the market and install. Changes the colors of the icons, notification bar, icons, etc.
Damn Google and fb must not be getting along

Hey I flashed faux's aosp also but what do you mean "and the ext 4 0.0.7 kernel" Doesn't flashing it change the kernel?
I meant I flashed the alternate ext4 0.0.7 kernel on top of the rom after it booted up and I waited ten mins. The rom itself as packaged is ext3. There is a seperate thread for faux's extra kernels.

Coming from the Vibrant where we had only 4 major devs (Team Whiskey, EDT, Eugene and Master) I think this phone is doing pretty good!
We already have 4 major devs (Team Whiskey, Team Shockwave, CM7 and Faux123) in one month! And I've seen two others saying they are making roms for it too, just have not release them yet! Forgot their names!!!
I think what we do need is more themes, but that's it!

do a news search for google + facebook it seems facebook was caught trying to spread negative rumors about Google.
In other words facebook was talking **** and got caught lol
I haven't caught up on what happened but its not the first thing that makes it seem like they aren't playing nicely.I wonder if it also have to do with both google and facebook possibly becoming competitors in some of the same markets they are trying to expand into. what ever happened to the recently re-rumored facebook phone?

On Eaglesblood 2.3.3 1.09 and pretty much any 2.3.3 ROM there's a fade in to the homescreen, and THEN the lockscreen appears. It gives you a peek at the desktop. This is really annoying. Anyone know what i can do about it? Any ways to turn it off? I tried GOlauncher and it's a no go, still the fade in animation.
I believe it's a problem with the OTA itself... I don't think the Launcher has anything to do with it.
It happened on 2.2.2 stock based roms as well.
I don't remember ever seeing a fix posted for it. Its a nuisance for sure.
Hmm. it's quite annoying. Whatever, I re-flashed MIUI, i think im sticking with that.

That's because that rom is based on cm7. The issue mentioned above is with stock and stock-based 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)?

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:

I actually tried this and downloaded a Faux kernel but now when I open up this game, it gives me the spinning wheel and it says getting ready. This is on a MIUI rom 2.3.30
I had tones of issues on GB. So far no issues at all with various ICS roms floating around. Take the plunge and switch to ICS.
Ok here's a work around to my problem....
Draw something will work with Faux kernel for MIUI 2.3.30 but you can only use your data instead of WIFI. For some reason when in WIFI, you will get the endless "Getting Ready" message but if you turn off your WIFI and use your data. It seems to work ok.
Works fine for me on aosp. Laggy at times

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.

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?

"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.
