New android user here (3 weeks) and I just got the new Infused on my phone last night. But im not too sure on what the actual differences are? I know it had a different launcher (one i didnt like because I like 5x5 icons) but thats all that really seemed different to me. The status bar looked like a diff with a diff battery icon and a few different icons. Not trying to be a downer but what is the main reason people switch over to the Infused rom???
The main features are Voodoo lagfix and sound. The lagfix changes the filesystem that the phone uses to one that is much faster which makes your phone faster and smoother all around. I'm not sure on the details about Voodoo sound but I believe it basically installs different sound drivers that make better use of the high end sound card that the infuse has, making all of your music sound better.
There are other things such as other speed improvements, removed stock AT&T apps, and new themes as well.
Basically, it makes your phone way faster and better, themes it, and removes all of the unwanted crap.

Speed I havent noticed too much yet, but it was also fast as hell before and im coming from an iphone 4 so the big speed jump from that made this one less noticeable to me. So basically it uncluttered the phone and mades a few things different so they ran more efficient and cleaner?
and is there anything special I can do now? I know it says unbranded app market so what apps are there that I couldnt get before?

It was a question about the infused rom which is part of development so I figured it belonged here, sorry for the mistake
I think moto was saying that you could have posted this "in" the Infused ROM thread.
I'm on Infused 1.5 too. There are a wealthy of improvement built into the rom. See the change log for everything you need to know man.
I'm surprised this thread is still open. I'll answer the question anyways. the rom is based on the updated firmware, many people are unable to get it ota, it is deodexed which removes unneeded files that take up space, it is zipaligned(not completely sure what that really does) att bloat is removed, sensor related batery drain is reduced, wifi poling is less frequent(saves battery if wifi is enabled but you are not connected) low mem killer is tweaked(may improve performance) rfs file system is replaced with ext4 with special mount options for best performance without losing data (there are faster file systems but many don't have journaling or are not very standard), it has an improved driver for the headphone amp with bass boost and presets for recording levels and quality settings. a launcher with less lag and transparent background, cwm recovery without a need to mod 3e recovery.
basically it is a bit smoother, which may be hard to notice because the infuse runs pretty good, it has less of what you font need, and it has somethings you need made easier. and even things you didn't know you wanted but once you try it out you won't want to get rid of it

Please excuse the dbag, quite a few of them here, but there are enough helpful people that make this place usefull.
Rom developement forum is for the devs to post info on roms. I think they prefer questions in the rom thread itself or in general.
Motomudder77 , good job making newbies feel welcome. He said he was new to android. So reading the change log 100 times would do no good. If you cant post something helpful then dont post.
Dave
Ask your question in the Infused ROM thread, don't start a new thread.

? Tell me if you find something.
Flaws:
1 - Hardware Video Decoding.
The doubleshot is flawed on hardware video decoding. It works mostly fine on the device itself, however when outputting to a TV it skips, lags, and generally does not work well.
I have included Mobo Player in the ROM, which has an option to enable "Soft Decoding" by default in the app settings. Enabling this will solve all problems when playing video on a TV.
The Doubleshot is more then machine enough to soft-decode video and multi-task other operations at the same time. Use it's abilities to enjoy your experience.
See Post 89 for more info.
Caution:
1 - Titanium Backup:
Removed from ROM. It was causing problems with users restoring data from prior Bulletproof installs. Please do not restore backups from previous Bulletproof installs. Start fresh here & now.
2 - Flashing a custom ROM, or rooting your phone in general means denying any official manufacturer updates from that point forward.
* - Please do not try to install any OTA (Over The Air) updates after flashing this (or any other) ROM.
3 - Please refrain from flashing any ROMs while in a moving vehicle, and try not to handle the device while flashing/booting/loading the first time. Causing the accelerometer and other sensors to activate could lead to a buggy install.
RAM
Romanbb:
I've seen lots of users complain about how little RAM some ROMs have. RAM does not mean speed. It does not determine how fast a ROM is. It simply means how many apps you can have open at once without Android having to close another one. Have you ever filled up the amount of RAM your device allows?
Android is built to use RAM efficiently. Let it handle it. Don't worry about RAM. This ROM has about 190mb free running the Sense launcher out of the box. The more apps you have installed the less that number becomes over time. Don't pay so much attention to it and just enjoy your phone.
Blue6IX:
Task killers. Don't use them. If you use a task killer, please do not report bugs in the ROMs function.
If Android needs more RAM, it will free up RAM. Using a task killer prevents apps from closing properly and saving their data. This leads to corruption of data, and eventually force closes and other issues.
Friends don't let friends use task killers.

Install Instructions
Make sure you are using Official Clockworkmod 5.0.2.7
Make a nandroid backup. Losing 10 minutes of your life is easier to cope with than losing a phone
Download, copy to SD card.
Reboot into recovery.
Install ROM from zip.
Reboot, wait 10 minutes (NOT a suggestion).
Perform on-screen setup.
Wait another 5 minutes, reboot, Enjoy!
Install Notes:
1 - I have handled all cleanup of any prior ROM install, simply flash and go over any prior ROM install with no extra steps necessary for a clean install every time.
2 - You must wait 10 minutes after first install for the ROM to finish installing itself in the background once it fully boots. Android is built to serve you, the user, ahead of itself. If you tell it to do something, it will break itself trying to serve you. Allow it to finish installing itself, even though you can't see it working. If you choose not to you will have a buggy install.
3 - Install will take some time, your phone did not freeze. First boot will also take longer, please have patience.
4 - Please review my Backup Guide to learn about making backups.
5 - After completing on-screen setup of your device, I recommend giving it another few minutes to settle and then rebooting into recovery to make a nandroid backup of your new, fresh Bulletproof installation.
6 - Market Problems:
**If you get the "insiffucient space" error when trying to download an app, reboot to recovery and wipe cache through Clockworkmod. Should get you all squared away.

If anyone would like to start playing with custom kernels for Bulletproof 1.1, please see this link below:
doubleshot kernel project OC/UV
You will find Bulletproof compatible stock HTC, undervolt and overclock kernels.
Custom kernel management:
Installing custom kernels:
[1] - Download the kernel zip file to your sdcard.
[2] - Flash through clockworkmod recovery just like a ROM.
- If you do not know how to do this, you should learn how to flash ROMs before moving on to kernels.
SetCPU
- SetCPU is an app that lets you regulate the clock speed of your device. ( and more! )
- Check out the app in the XDA News page, and then check out the Dev thread.
- Consider donating and buying the market app to support the developer if you really use the app.
WARNING:
Installing an Overclock kernel on your device could have negative physical consequences (Read: broken hardware) if misused/abused.
Please educate yourself on what overclocking does and how you can melt your processor.
You proceed at your own risk and any damage that may result is the sole responsibility of the end user.

The app DoubleshotAndroidZipgroups_06-15_V1.0b13935.apk, as per this thread: Shocker on my last phone bill, malware in rom? has been determined to be the problem that *some* people were having with getting billed for international texts they never sent nor received.
For the benefit of all, and to err on the side of caution, this app has been removed from the ROM. There was not time before the release to remove the user interface option from the ROM, or figure out how to enable it safely.
For the time being, please accept this concession of incompleteness in order to get the rest of the ROM in people's hands to play with.
Bulletproof 1.0:
Bulletproof is a ROM that is the brainchild of Romanbb. I would like to single out this developer as a shining example of what a developer at XDA should be. He releases code that isn't just slapped together and thrown out there, but rather takes his time to get things right, and labors for long hours on small things, those details that are so important and oft ignored in general.
He displays a level of patience, helpfulness and contributes much more to XDA then the code he writes. I should hope to live up to the example he sets for us all.
He has moved on to new projects beyond the doubleshot (MT4GS) and i'm sure we all wish him well in his endeavors, I know I do. I thank him for allowing me to pick up where he left off, and appreciate the solid ground he gave me to stand on - both with the code left behind and direction to start working with it.
I also thank him for not spoon-feeding me every answer, and forcing me to exercise my brain by pointing me in a direction, but leaving me to find the answers on my own. The hardest part of being a teacher is NOT giving your student the answer, and instead teaching them how to arrive at the answer on their own.
Link to original Bulletproof release thread.
--------
Bulletproof to me is first and foremost a ROM to use as a basis for my next project, which is delving into kernel modification for the doubleshot. Incidentally, this is also another project Romanbb started us on over here in the MT4GS forums.
I need a solid, stable platform to test my kernel work in. I don't want to waste time guessing if a problem was from a kernel, or from the ROM itself. I have learned quite a bit about Bulletproof, and while it still holds a few surprises for me, there aren't many left to uncover.
As a tangential bonus to users of the doubleshot, this should be a solid daily-driver ROM to use on your phone, when you just want a Sense-based ROM to work and not have to deal with broken things as you use the phone in your daily life.
This is no slight against any other developers, and I could not have put this out without a monumental amount of help from Romanbb, the XDA community at large, and many members here in the MT4GS forums (and some not) who may or may not realize how they have helped me. This really is a community achievement, and the credit rests not on any one persons shoulders.
As with most software, it could always be better - and there are still issues to be resolved, though none that will inhibit stable usage of the device or ROM (to my knowledge). Please stay tuned for future improvements.
Support:
I will support this ROM to the fullest extent of my capabilites.
That being said, please understand something about my life. I work a very random schedule. Sometimes I have a week or more off at a time, other times I put in a 90+ hour work week between two jobs.
Some of you may have noticed by now that when I am here, I go into great depth with my postings and spend a significant amount of time writing up guides, answers and questions.
The trade-off is that when i'm not able to be here, I am like a ghost.
Please do not ever think I have left the community. XDA is my home on the internet, and rarely do I go elsewhere in my free time anymore - unless it is to look something up to use here. I have been very passionately involved with computers for most of my life, and there is no other place like XDA on the internet anywhere.
I really need people's patience if I am in a period where I cannot spend much time on the forums. Believe me, I would rather be here then anywhere else if given the choice. I have a wonderful Lady in my life, and am trying to start a family - so please understand that I will give any and all time I can.
Where we go from here:
1 - Overclock kernel. Incremental kernel CPU clock speed increase until we reach 1.5 stable.
2 - Undervolt kernel. Incrementel voltage decrease until lowest stable voltage achieved from 1.5 CPU clock speed.
3 - Careful, cautious incrementation of CPU clock speed above the manufacturers rated 1.5, emphasis on stability.
The kernel work is honestly the primary drive behind what Bulletproof 1.0 is. I intend to lay out a very in-depth explanation of how and what was done for a majority of the kernel work I do after I get it working. I feel the discovery and sharing of this information will be a great service to the XDA community.
It also has the benefit of being able to teach others who have a doubleshot how to work on kernels, and then team kernel projects become a reality. I hope that some of you out there are interested in working with me in the future, because CPU speed and voltage are but a tiny fraction of what the kernel is about.

This depends entirely on what battery you are using, whether you calibrate it correctly with the ROM, if you have broken it in correctly, and how you use the device.
siani_8 has the absolute most incredible battery life, using a Mugen obscene capacity battery.
I use the Anker battery with a 1900 capacity. I think it gets good battery life.
Someone using the stock HTC battery should immediately purchase an Anker or Mugen battery, for reasons beyond capacity.
I will update this posting with all the battery information and tutorials on how to do everything I just said when time allows.
(d'oh, shoulda grabbed a third post)
Thanks, blue. Downloading now, looking forward to rocking this

Very nice. I'll be testing this out later today (perhaps at dinner lol).
Does this have Kidzone and the "Groups" tab completely removed?
Groups tab is still in the ROM, though non functional.
Kidzone is also still in.
Both of these items are on my hit list for future updates.
I felt that they were both bigger projects then delaying the ROM was worth.
I would like to try to enable the groups tab, as I understand that people do use it - so if I can figure out how to eliminate the security flaw while keeping the groups tab, that is preferred.
I hate kidzone as much as everyone else who has ever handled this device, and it will be terminated with extreme prejudice when time allows.
Removing T-Mo pink coloring everywhere is a bit higher on my list then kidzone, as it will provide a larger immediate effect on user experience.
Edit:
OP updated.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to trying this out!
It seems as though lately all the devs are requiring/building-in full wipes for every update. Is there a possiblity of doing updates that we just flash over top, from time to time, to make the whole backup and restore thing simpler?

It seems as though lately all the devs are requiring/building-in full wipes for every update. Is there a possiblity of doing updates that we just flash over top, from time to time, to make the whole backup and restore thing simpler?

I am not sure I understand you here.
Please do not restore any data from any other ROM or previous Bulletproof install to your device.
You start fresh with this ROM, as if it was day 1 with your phone.
If you choose to restore data from any other install or ROM into this new ROM, you will probably have problems at some point. I will be completely confused by your problems, being unable to duplicate them myself.
Any posts describing problems from people who have restored data from any other install or ROM will confuse other users about problems that are unique to one specific user.
This is the reason I removed Titanium Backup from the Bulletproof lineage.
Please start fresh for a solid experience.
Edit:
OP updated to add recommendation number 5 under install notes.
Please perform a fresh nandroid backup of your new Bulletproof installation after it is fully installed and loaded.
Thank you.

I think what's he's asking is, from this point on (after the fresh start). Will you be pushing updates as a "flash-able patch", rather then a "complete wipe"? I'm curious too... cause I hate having to start fresh... One reason I avoid updates sometimes...

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to ask!
Ah okay - I understand, forgive me, I still haven't slept yet.
The answer is - unclear.
In most cases I would try to simply update as opposed to start fresh.
I am more interested in writing my install scripts for updates to just wipe /cache and /data/dalvik-cache as opposed to the entirety of the /data partition.
I would like to see people lose as little data as possible, and am interested in having as little impact on the user experience as possible moving forward.
The big one was the start fresh now, hopefully as we progress we can build on that.
I am leaving the door open for the need to do a complete fresh install in the future, but hopefully that will be un-necessary.
Great, thanks for that reply.
I don't know, I don't find any issues in the data thing. All my contacts are on my Google accounts, my apps backed up to my SD along with the App data (non system apps only). If your gonna flash an ROM, you should have the 5 minutes to install your apps. I don't use titanium, it screws up the phone. I've never had a text message so important I needed to save it. Or been so far in a game I couldn't redo it. That's me personally, I just let the dev do what they needa do. If they do want to wipe cache and data, just let them. It's going to allow them to have the same install grounds as all of use. That being said it helps the dev find out bugs, because in a sense. Where all using the same set up. As a Dev I understand it fully.
I sincely don't mean to ask "What's the best ROMzerwow!?" But here's the details anyway, (sorry); I'm looking to help out my old man by making his phone last just a few hours longer which means: Teaching him to use the power switches for wifi & Data, etc. That's my end. but what I cant do, I need to find which is:
• Debloating the phone
There's a lot of crap he doesn't need, let alone use!
• Adjustable Font Size
Most key is a ROM/MOD that allows for LARGE font sizes as sight isn't his strongest point anymore.
• Stability
I understand I'm asking for perfection but I'm not expecting it. That said, which ROMs are the most stable for the Charge? from what I've read, Tweaked ROMs seems to be popular but what seems to be (even an outdated one ie CM7-like, Gingerbread etc) are fine. I want to be able to install and customize the settings for the ol' man and never touch it again to keep things simple and pain free for him (and me).
If I am asking much feel free to point me elsewhere. I came across Odin Flash Guide So I'm assuming this will make it as pain free as possible once I can settle on a ROM or two to experiment with. Just remember to tell me which Build of the ROM you're suggesting
Thanks for your input! Cheers.

right now, Tweaked is the only game in town - and it's quite awesome! tweaked will debloat. as for font size, I think installing GO launcher allows for customization of that.
regarding battery life, not much aside from minimizing number of apps installed and accounts synced. for me, I found that juice defender works best.
There is also options in Accessibility menu...

Thanks for the info, which build seems to be the easiest to install and go without having to worry about bugs?

We've got the fonts already on large but because of my inexperience outside of Moto Defy roms, I'm just making sure it'll be Large no matter what. Thanks!
Good evening,
I've been running stock ROM pretty much since day 1 with Xposed+GB to get all the eye-candy features, however i recently noticed that this framework causes my overall system to be "unstable" (random "flashes" on status bars & alike) and my battery drains very much faster with it activated. Add it to the fact i cannot use ART and - well - i'm not too keen to use it any further.
What can i do then to have stock rom's stability with some added features?
Browsing this section i found various flashable mods (like center clock and custom battery icon) and these would be the perfect deal for me, so i was wondering if there was anything for the following points, which are the only things i'm really missing from Xposed:
-quick unlock. Having to press enter after the PIN really annoys me.
-immersive mode to hide navigation bar
-PIE control.
That's pretty much it, these are the only features i'm really after but can't seem to find anything around, I don't know if i just overlooked them or i'm just blind (why not abit crazy). But here is where you come in!
TLDR: help.
Thanks
Regards,
Daniel

I'd recommend Minimus, it has all the necessary features and well, it's very minimal lol stable and is able to run ART, or "stock with goodies" is another good one also and just came out about 2 days ago i think
Managed to get rid of navbar by using a buil.prop command and using LMT launcher as PIE right now, absolutely flawless.
Still missing the quick unlock though, if anyone knows a mod/app or what else which achieves it don't hesitate to post it here!
I just noticed the ROM I have installed on my phone (Bootleggers) most likely died (their website isn't up anymore, there's no new threads about it, their GitHub/Sourceforge didn't have any recent activity at all etc.). I chose this ROM because of some neat features it had. And, that's the reason I'm asking this question today.
The features I want to have might be stupid for others, but they make me choose a ROM over another one and since I don't really have the time I had before to go through every ROM I see with support for my phone, I am asking everyone for their personal preferences.
A ROM for me must have (from the most to the least important):
- Must be de-googled/have a de-googled variant
- Support for signature spoofing (this is needed because I will use microG to actually keep getting notifications on my phone)
- Include as little proprietary programs as possible (yeah, I know Bootleggers didn't really do that), preferably only include open source apps (I don't care if they're fully free software or something, they can be anything open source and a little bit more privacy-minded without tracking or anything than others, I am willing to make some small sacrifices but I want to use as many open source programs as possible)
- Over the air updates (I think all have that but I'll still specify)
- Must be the latest version of Android
- Work profile/Shelter support (but I think that absolutely everything nowadays has that)
And now come the least important things, but ones that will still make me choose a ROM which has them over one which doesn't:
- It would be nice if the default apps looked modern, and maybe also had consistent theming, preferably one that syncs to the theming you do in the Settings app
- Smart Pixels (turn off a certain percent of pixels to save some power/reduce brightness even further to some degree)
- Always on screen
- Changing colors, fonts, QS tile styling, theming in general, the more the better, and here come the things I really really want:
- The 'CRT' lock screen animation
- The 'Type' lock screen clock (the one where instead of showing 10:19 it writes 'It's Ten Nineteen')
So, yeah, I'll be glad to hear all of your suggestions! Or, if anyone still knows anything about what happened to Bootleggers I'll really want to know
You can try Dot OS with similar features. I am sure you will like it.
