Welcome To : SUPER NOOB QUESTION THREAD
Due to request in my other super thread, i have put together a good detailed thread for users who are new to the infuse and still need questions answered for the stuff we have going on. I hope this helps a lot of you. Keep in mind please that some stuff in here is a grab from VARIOUS resources, but essentially the idea is to help everyone here. So obviously, with that being said, original credits go to the posters from the sources. If you found this thread useful, then please hit the thanks button ENJOY READING
BTW, if you read something on here which you believe is incorrect, or something really common that i may have missed, then i ask you to kindly send me a Private Message and let me know what exactly you want to see on here or modified so that this remains correct. This way we don't need to see you flaming me
Q: What is the first and most important rule i should remember?
A: Well you see my little nublet, nothing comes free, it is wise for you to remember that the price to pay for a custom rom/port for our phones is TIME. If you do not already know, it is a very valuable thing which gets donated from our hard working developers. This lovely donation gets nurtured and praised by users here and therefore we always make sure to say thanks to the developers for putting efforts into bringing us the latest and the greatest. By standing around pouting and yelling why the developer is NOT spitting out an update is just plain and simple VERY NOOBISH of you. Unless you feel you have the guts and glory to continue on making something more useful and ever so great that you cannot be patient for the developer to do, then do it yourself . Other than that, the basic rule of the thumb is , be patient, polite, and always say thanks to our developers. Showing appreciation for their hard work here always returns in something fruitful.
*** IMPORTANT NOTE TO UNDERSTAND BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE ODIN / HEIMDALL ***
Of course just like any other flashing method, there's NO GUARANTEE you wont bump into problems. This is simply a tool which has worked for a good hand of us. Should you find yourself stumbling into any problems while using this alternative tool. Then be sure to ask someone on xda, and someone will try to help. Again, kind reminder that nobody on here can be held responsible if your device somehow fails to flash or something goes wrong on your end. At the same time, to help brighten you up a bit, the ability to recover from a simple soft brick can easily be done in most cases ( NOT ALL ).
Q: What is ODIN?
A: ODIN is the software which is used by Samsung to load updates, ROMS, etc. on their phones. Most commonly used to return the phone back to factory.
Q: Where do you get ODIN from?
A: Simple, just go to any of the back to stock threads listed in the Infuse Super Thread, or try THIS THREAD
Q: Whats an ODIN alternative, i don't get this ?
A: Then try the Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock . Some have reported it to work well.
Q: What is Unlocking and Rooting?
Answer 1: Unlocking enables you to cut all ties to your initial mobile network provider without replacing your mobile phone. When you purchase a mobile phone either on pay-as-you-go or a contract, network carrier includes a SIM, a chip in your handset, containing a serial number that identifies you to the network provider. Most network carrier "lock" your phone so it works only with their specific SIM card, a chip in your handset, containing a serial number that identifies you to the network provider. The only reason to lock the SIM is to ensure you use their service for an extended period of time. If you attempt to use an alternative SIM card in a locked phone, you will receive error messages, such as "SIM Card Not Accepted." .Unlocking enables you to use any SIM card on any network in your handset.
Answer 2: Rooting your Android device involves adding in a small Linux application called “su”. It stands for SuperUser, and allows applications and commands to run with elevated permissions. Everything that runs code, whether it’s an application or the user, has a permission level set by the operating system. The root user is the boss and can do anything (good or bad) on the device. From simple things like clearing the cache from core applications, to more advanced things like wirelessly tethering a laptop or iPod touch through your phone, root can do it. The su program is a sort of gateway that lets applications or users act as root while doing tasks.
Don't confuse custom ROMs with rooting - they're completely different!!!
Q: How to unlock my Infuse 4G?
A: This is super duper easy, although the lovely infuse super thread has a how to unlock tutorial, it may seem super hard for noobies. So having that said, i suggest its best to head on over to the empire city of EBAY.COM , find yourself an excellent phone unlock code provider and pay them, which is ( from what i saw, no more than $2.00 . Not a whole lot at all. Be prepared ! They all require 3 Basic pieces of information in order to help you unlock . Your IMEI Number, The Phone Manufacturer and Model ( Samsung Infuse, HTC Aria, etc.. u get it right? ) , and Most importantly, what your current Carrier is (ATT, Rogers, Sprint etc.. You got this too right? ) .
Q: Now where can i get my Unlock code from ?
A: Try anyone of these mofos from here --> CLICK ME TO SEE
Once you receive your UNLOCK code. All you have to do is just power off the phone, pop in the new sim card, and punch in the unlock code the person gave. THATS IT!
Q: Whats this IMEI number you speak of ?
A: The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique 17 or 15 digit code used to identify an individual mobile station to a GSM or UMTS network. The IMEI number provides an important function; it uniquely identifies a specific mobile phone being used on a mobile network. The IMEI is a useful tool to prevent a stolen handset from accessing a network and being used to place calls. Mobile phone owners who have their phones stolen can contact their mobile network provider and ask them disable a phone using its IMEI number. With an IMEI number, the phone can be blocked from the network quickly and easily.
Q: What is Super One Click Tool?
A: A tool used to make rooting a phone super easy, it supports a wide variety of phones which run Android. The tool will root the Infuse 4G.
Q: Whats the difference between the infuse Android Recovery and Clockwork Recovery Mod ?
A: All Android devices ship with a recovery console that is basically a partition on the device’s internal memory and can be booted into. The stock recovery of almost all Android devices provides a few basic yet handy options that allow you to factory reset your device and also to recover its operating system using an official ROM in zip format, but that’s all you can do with it. That’s where a custom recovery comes handy.
A custom Android recovery basically replaces the stock recovery with one that lets you do all you can do with the stock recovery, plus a plethora of more options to give you a lot more control on your device. With a custom recovery, you can install official and unofficial ROMs as well as other updates including apps, themes, kernels etc. using zip files, wipe not just user data but pretty much every partition on your device, mount the storage card for USB mass storage access without leaving recovery, partition your SD card, wipe Dalvik cache and battery stats, fix permissions, perform, manage and restore backups and so on.
ClockworkMod – also known as Clockwork and CWM – is a custom recovery for Android phones and tablets that allows you to perform several advanced recovery, restoration, installation and maintenance operations on your Android device that aren’t possible with the stock recovery. Things like flashing a custom rom, kernel, boot loader image and stuff are possible.
Q: What is a Kernel?
A: A kernel in an operating system—in this case Android—is the component responsible for helping your applications communicate with your hardware. It manages the system resources, communicates with external devices when needed, and so on. Android uses a variation of the Linux kernel. A kernel is not the same as a ROM, even though you install them in mostly the same way. A ROM is a bit more all-encompassing. It's the operating system you use on your phone, the software your phone uses to get things done—the kernel is the bridge between that ROM and your hardware. All ROMs come with a kernel installed, but you can install a third-party one if you like—and that's what this post is about.
Q: What will flashing a custom Kernel do for my Infuse?
A: You may have heard about how flashing a new ROM can improve your Android experience, but flashing a new kernel is one of the best ways to improve your phone's performance, battery life, and even add some saucy new features such as tethering and many more things.
Q: The Samsung Infuse has various modems, what do they do?
A: The modem is basically the software portion of the cellular radio in your Infuse. This has an effect on the signal ( voice + data ) and the battery life as well. If you have ever flashed a custom rom before then you already know that most developers have their roms with the modem built in which they prefer you to use. Although you have the choice to upgrade the modem to a newer one if you insist, it isn't always recommended. However, if your signal diminished with an update, and you’re willing to flash something, then you might be interested in “downgrading” or "upgrading" to an different modem.
Q: How do i know what modem i have?
A: Go to Settings > About Phone > Baseband Version . The text written under the Baseband is what modem your Infuse is currently running.
Q: Which Modem should i use
A: Theres no FIXED solution to this as everyone has their preference, unless you know what you are gaining or losing, or better yet, know what you are doing period, then this is not something suggested to play around with. Everyone in general has different experiences. For the most part though, by using one of the latest modems, the Infuse has been seen to perform better, but not drastically.
Q: When should I try a new modem?
A: If you are perfectly happy with your signal and battery life, then don’t worry about it. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. If you’re having issues, then maybe it’s time to flash a new modem. Just be warned, some modems will improve your signal, some will do the opposite. If you’re in a low signal area, and have no way of flashing back right away, then wait for a better solution.
Q: MODS AND TWEAKS? WTF is this ?
A: Simple , With mods and tweaks, you can easily add additional features to your Infuse, modify the functionality of existing features to meet your needs, install custom boot animations, and various other features which wouldn't normally come with the default ROM .
Q: NO DATA NETWORK / APN SETTINGS LOST AFTER A FLASH ?
A: This is common for some flashes, especially when switching from one custom or factory rom to another. The solution is a really quick fix.
Step 1: Open the Application Drawer and select Settings
Step 2: Select Wireless and Network
Step 3: Select Mobile Networks
Step 4: Select Access Point Names
Step 5: Check to see if anything is listed, don't delete any at this point ( situation may vary on this step )
Step 6: Press your Menu button on the phone and select +NEW APN
Step 7: Enter the following Information AS I HAVE POSTED. When i get other carriers information ill be sure to update. Once finishing entering the below Read next step!

Step 10: Reboot . If you find that you are still not being able to connect to DATA or be able to send MMS , then double check your APN settings and redo this guide.
Q: ROMS / CUSTOM ROMS and PORTED ROMS, what are these exactly?
A stock ROM is the version of the phone's operating system that comes with your phone when you buy it.
A custom ROM is a fully standalone version of the OS, including the kernel (which makes everything run), apps, services, etc - everything you need to operate the device, except it's customized by someone in some way.
So what does the "customized" part mean? Since Android is open source, developers are free to take stock ROMs, modify them, strip them of garbage, optimize them, add things, and pretty much do whatever their imagination and skills allow.
a ported rom is essentially similar to a custom rom, except it is a rom which was previously built for a different phone , but ported to work on our phone now. Please note, its likely that a ported rom may carry some bugs here and there as the original rom is not based on the Infuse rom itself.
Q: I keep seeing custom ROM updates, why ?
A:Using a custom ROM usually results in more frequent updates that fix bugs and introduce new features because the developer behind the ROM doesn't have the same procedures and red tape that the manufacturer+carrier combo does.
A quality update can be churned faster because it doesn't involve the bureaucracy of 30 different project managers, 15 vice presidents, and 5 dozen marketing departments.
A ROM developer usually gains a loyal community which beta tests his updates in real life situations and provide feedback, or even fixes bugs - that's the beauty of open source software.
Oh and did I mention that ROMs are usually free and supported by optional donations? If you can't afford to pay for it, you don't have to.
Better Performance And Efficiency
Custom ROMs are oftentimes faster, more efficient, and use less memory because
the developer ripped out useless garbage, such as carrier installed apps or
the developer optimized the kernel. For example, an undervolted kernel can provide a much better battery life than the stock one.
Upgrading To A Better/Later Version Of Android
You can upgrade to a version of the OS that has not yet been released for your device, or never will be. This is possible in 2 situations:
A leaked version of the new ROM showed up online, and the developer got on it like the fat kid chasing an ice cream truck. This was exactly the case with the Samsung Infuse, where we were successfully able to get Gingerbread before the official announced day of release
A ROM from another phone was ported by the developer to work on yours. For example, LinuxBozo's Hellraiser allowed us to install roms from other Samsung phones (plus or minus a few bugs) but still worked great on our Infuse.
Ability To Install Apps To The SD Card
Most custom ROMs nowadays come with the ability to install applications to the SD card, called Apps2SD (or A2SD).
This is currently not possible on stock ROMs, even in Android 2.1 and is supposedly on Google's TODO list.
If you have run out of space on your phone , Apps2SD is a killer feature to have.
Don't confuse custom ROMs with rooting - they're completely different!!.
The Downsides Of Custom ROMs
Of course, there are dangers of using custom ROMs which you should be aware of.
Something Could Go Wrong
First of all, something may go wrong with the flashing process (that's the process of installing the ROM) and leave your phone in a bricked state. The chances of this are pretty low nowadays, and most of the time you can restore it back to normal.
Try to go for the ROM that has been tested by time and has lots of positive feedback.
Clean Wipe
In order to install a custom ROM, you need to perform a clean wipe.
This means you will lose all existing data, so you have to back everything up first. You can go into CWM and do an entire Nandroid Backup.
Potential Problems
Custom ROMs could have bugs… but then so do the stock ones.
However, in case you do find a bug, you actually have a 2-way channel of reporting it - post in the ROM forum and you will more than likely get an answer back and your bug acknowledged.
Try doing this to your phone manufacturer and see if you can get past the first level of outsourced monkeys, let alone actual developers.
You May Void Your Warranty
It's possible that custom rooting will void your warranty because you will "break the seal" on the boot loader by installing a custom one which on some phones apparently can't be undone (this includes the Nexus One). Because of that, the manufacturer might be able to tell that the phone has had a custom ROM installed and not honor the warranty, in case you need to use it.
Now, in most cases, the benefits of the custom ROM outweigh the possibility of your warranty being denied. I recommend getting a warranty from your carrier and using that in case anything bad happens (that warranty is usually unconditional and covers things like losses and physical damage).
Truly outstanding post for us newbies!
Thanks!!!!!

I think in this case, it belongs here. Unfortunately, most noobs only look here for roms without doing proper research. Hopefully, this will catch some of them and slow them down enough to prevent some of the basic issues.
Sent from my Infuse that wants to be a Note when it grows up!!!
Nope... this totally belongs here... awesome job bro!!!

And of course there are parts which i reworded myself to help the newcomers. nevertheless, thanks everyone for showing their appreciation.
LONG LIVE MY INFUSE
Titanium Backups
Here is a Titanium Back up question. If I back up my apps ... flash a new rom .... when I restore my apps .... do my page set ups come back as well like a nandroid back up? In other words ... once done will all my pages look like they did on the previous rom or do I have to place each app and widget on the screen I want it on. Never have restored before.

no. the apps will show up in your app drawer. you have to pull them out.
it is usually recommended to restore app only -no data but some have reported success.
restoring data may cause hiccups later...may..not definite.you can take a chance if you want to.
I honestly never used nandroid backup to restore apps, especially when switching from different kind of roms. I always use this app to take a backup of installed apps from the market, then i proceed with wipe/data factory reset and install new app. Download this app again and restore from the folder it made on my internal sd memory.
Click me to see the App im talking about!!
I only use nandroid to recover an entire installation if the rom sucked, or i screwed something up badly.
Hope this helps
PS, the restore wont bring back desktop layout of apps. As previous poster said, will only bring it back into app drawer if restore is done correctly.
The only time I ever used the nandroid restore was last night win for some reason the R3v rom kept kept aborting and would not install. Thank you both very much for the reply you have both told me exactly what I was looking 4 in a kind and friendly way which trust me is truly appreciated.

Has anyone tried the Cyanogen mods on the HTC Magic from Vodafone in New Zealand? The caveats say this code is for the US only. I don't want to brick my phone, but at the same time, I'm growing a wee bit tired of the Android market not allowing any access at all to paid apps for people in New Zealand. I'd also very much like to have a Wi-Fi AP on my HTC Magic / Androind phone....partly to let my Apple iPod access the Internet through it. Best of both worlds!
Anyone?
Current using it on my NZ Vodafone HTC Magic I bought a month ago no problem. I used the one-click root app about a week ago and working fine. Using market enabler, Google it, to allow me to gain access to paid apps. Only problem was I had to set the APN for Vodafone to gain internet access.
I would really recommended the change as the my phone is working so much better now. The vodafone ROM must be very clunky it would occasionally lag when playing music and using the phone.
However in the unlikely event of bricking your phone don't blame me.
APN Guide:
1) Navigate to: Settings > Wireless > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
2) I deleted the one that was there by default as it wasn't working for me. Don't remember its name but the address was something like *.vodafone.com.
3) Press the menu key and click "New APN".
4) Enter the following settings:
Name: Vodafone NZ Net (Doesn't have to be this. Can be anything you want really.)
APN: www.vonafone.net.nz
5) Leave all the other fields blank.
6) Press the menu key and Save.
7) Done you should now have 3g/Internet access.
Hope this has been some help. Fell free to ask any questions you have.
Thanks for the reply. One more question....
OK...so it works. That was my main concern.
Now I guess I'll do the research and work out how to back up what I have so I can restore it if I want to.....or need to.
Total n00b question:
I did this when I first got my phone, however I am cooking my own rom based around 1.6 for NZ Users:
Is it possible for somebody to fetch me a Nandroid Backup of the NZ VF Rom? It will be extremely awesome if you could! Just flick me a PM, Thanks!

NEW RELEASE 3/28/2011
OK, time for a simultaneous release of AOSP Showcase and Mesmerize, with AOSP voodoo kernels and a set of GAPPS that jt1134 has built for us.
First of all lets give thanks to those that helped me out and made this happen. Phidelt82, thanks for testing and hosting the downloads. Elijahblake, thanks for testing and sticking to it even through your phone troubles that the inbetween releases and original (yet buggy) release called. Thanks dfgas for testing as well, and getting me important Mesmerize files. Baked_Tator, thanks for testing it, you provided great help. MrHanMan, thanks for testing, you provided great help as well. Thanks to all other testers who I can not remember their names at this moment (PM me and you'll get put in this list). Thanks jt1134 for all the work you put in on the fascinate rom lately, you've had me playing catch up, because though I strive, I can't be as fast as you. Thanks to lmartin92, for dedicating time, energy, and learning through the entire experience and making these builds happen (that's me)
Now to the order of business, announcing this release. You mesmerize folks have waited for this for the longest, and now it's here. Mesmerize AOSP V0.9 is now ready and stable enough for it to be released. Yes some things are not working, but these are the things most folk can get along without.
What's working?
Bluetooth (though headsets, and keyboards may not work), file sending has been tested by many and is claimed to be working.
SMS is now working fully.
3g is working.
GPS is working.
Wifi is working.
Google contacts/gmail syncing is working (may require reboot or a bit of patience on your part).
In call sound volume setting is working thanks to jt1134.
It shows the proper company as to who is providing you services now.
Much more is probably working, but I can't identify them all nor make claims as of yet.
What isn't working?
Bluetooth headset.
MMS.
Video Camera.
Camera does not work at 5mp and it uses black and white previews.
Probably some other things, if you find them, let me know and I'll get to work fixing them.
Where can I get this?
The Mesmerize AOSP V0.9 rom release is here.
mirror
and a torrent magnet link magnet:?xt=urn:btih:1e9f540c29f57bf952d205930302646b0305bddd&dn=mesmerize-aosp-latest.zip&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fopenbittorent.com%2Fannounce
The EC10 AOSP voodoo kernel is here.
The AOSP Gapps are here.
Use CWM Red to flash these in this order, kernel, rom, gapps. Anytime you flash the rom reflash gapps because the rom breaks gapps after reinstallation. Be sure to wipe data and cache before you reboot.
WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT *228 unless you wish to possibly lose your phone!
What happened to the kernel being inside of the rom? I've decided to seperate them out, if someone wants a non-voodoo kernel, they can make one and use it. It does have to be customized for AOSP. I just don't know yet how to do this, but it shouldn't be too hard.
In other words, I'm allowing folk to use different kernels than mine own if they care to put the work into it to make it happen.
I would like to donate to the cause.
Glad to help you do that. I'm specifically looking to beef up my dev machine to a six core 16 GB ram beast. Of course, if anyone wants to participate in building, I'll actually donate some of my machine torwards a build server. These are the parts I would like to have, and I'm probably upgrading from 8GB 3core machine to a 12GB 3core machine next month (just modifying this sucker here).
I need 2 sets of this memory to make my dream happen. It's a Mushkin 2x4 GB ddr3 1333 (10666) MHZ). The cpu I would like to see is a six core AMD Phenom II x6 1100T. No I don't expect anyone to provide me with this, but this is what I'm going to upgrade to eventually and try to donate back to the community with a Samsung galaxy s i500 build server. By the way, when making donations I'm not the only one to consider. All those fine folk listed above deserve it just as much or more so than me. Now enough with my dreams.
Enjoy AOSP.
Changes in 0.9.1
Streaming issues kind of fixed (no hd youtube, but the rest seems to work).
New GAPPS.
New Kernel (EC10 from jt1134 which is a generic (works on all i500 devices to date) kernel)
GMAIL/Contacts sync is fixed
For any questions, comments please join the IRC on #samsung-mesmerize on irc.freenode.net.

I'd try it, but the camera not working is a non-starter for me (I use my camera all the time), which is why I wouldnt mess with the Cyanogen Gingerbread ROMS for the Desire.
It seems I can't join the irc. My computer wont load the url. My question is that none of the google works and I was wondering if it was safe to reflash the gapps? Also when I run the quadrant advanced it says internal error when it gets to the I/O
Got IRC on now.
For anyone with contact/gmail issues, reboot. That's fixed every one of my tester's problems. I just isn't going to work on first boot. Reflashing gapps will do nothing. It's the reboot's that's the key.
That worked for me as well.
Thanks guys for everything. This is amazing!

I have rebooted
I do have some troubleshooting chops guys.
EDIT: *sigh* it seems i somehow missed the "sync contacts" option, which appears to not be enabled by default for some reason.
Anyway, the facebook issue still stands. I can't connect a facebook account to my phone either.
Could someone post some screens? It would be greatly appreciated!

Theming is much more complicated with AOSP, but I'm going to be learning so hopefully I can get some ported soon

Theming is actually way easier with aosp. I use theme overlays so that the build gets themed as it is compiled. No need to do it manually

Well sir thank you but we have two very different perspectives on that lol you're obviously very talented with linux, I for one don't even have a dev. box set up yet (I'm a "hack programmer" at best anyway) - and have only been porting themes (mainly using theme porter) so what I meant by more complicated was just that it's different than the normal process. And I think most people who have been helping with theme's in here are in the same boat, we have only a few that have been working on the actual building and using linux/git and whatnot. I'm sure we just need to get ourselves set up with the proper tools and do it the right way
But, I still haven't heard the whole process, so I'm hoping you are right
Do not do *228. lmartin92 informed me that it is known to break phones with aosp.
NEWS: (Updated 8/23/11)

DISCLAIMER:
This IS NOT a "custom ROM" in any traditional sense. I will NOT be responding to dev requests or bugs. If anyone wants to help me debug the ROM that'd be great. Otherwise, updates will roll out whenever I figure it out on my own.
PROPS:
Thanks to sduvick for the original ROM that this one is based off of and thanks to ayoteddy for passing down some wisdom my direction. They and the rest of the Platypus Dev Team are doing excellent work, which was my inspiration to get involved, if only on a personally beneficial level at this point.
ABOUT ME:
I'm not a dev, I'm a tester attempting dev *stuff*... Hate me if you want, but everybody has to start somewhere.
Is that ^ posted in the right thread?
/*EDIT*
You used the same Icon as I did for mine, I hit the wrong thread...
I need sleep!
*EDIT*/
The ability to WiFi-tether would be a good feature too, as every time I tried it on TouchWiz builds something was funny...

The removed browser is what causes the phone to Fc @ boot incase you were wondering
Anyone testing that build/stripped ROM?
I need my phone for work, AND PLAY, so I am unable to Beta-test (Alpha-test?) from a "builder" that I have never checked a ROM from yet.
<N/M> I is k-fused.
Okay, but I've removed stock browser before and never had that problem, which is why I wouldn't have thought of it. I usually pull stock and replace with Firefox every time. I'll give replacing it a try, though.

Yeah, I'm testing right now. As in, I've left the house, got off the wifi, toyed with market and the mobile network with the settings I provided earlier, everything works except those two issues above.

i've been able to remove it as well but if you flash the ROM without the stock browser it will FC, actually gave me non stop FC's. But when removed while the phone is on and running i havent had a problem
Just flashed this after a horrible experience with another ROM. In general, stock look is what I want but improved functions over the original and a much more stable device.
Try my clean fusion rom

I'm liking this so far. Pushing the browser was fairly easy. Being stock though. Am I to expect the memory leak to rear it's ugly head and bog down my device eventually and issues with the SD card wiping itself? Although a lean ROM, I think the only thing you left out that I would of left in is the TeleNav. It's not a free app to just download and it is one I did use.

You can expect the memory leak, I haven't figured out that aspect just yet. I'm hoping to come out with an update after I figure out how I fragged the APN settings... As for random SD wipes, I've had no such issues, ever, on any phone. CleanFusion v3 is an awesome ROM, I've been testing it and the new GingerClone. Both are excellent choices for users who want more features, tweaks, and functionality. This ROM is just an aim at X = stock - bloatware. The next version will ship with Tegrak Overclock Free, though.
Everyone please read this following message at least once, maybe twice as i get sidetracked and may make no sense:
To users advanced and new, due to a lot of confusion on how things work with AOKP i decided to lay it all on the table to help everyone have a better understanding of how things go. First off I'm sorry for my typing and or wording as I'm no public speaker or author. AOKP is run by "Team Kang", for more info on those members you can visit aokp.co and find everything you need.
Now, AOKP is a community of people all over the world, on a wide range of devices, all working together to add features, fix bugs, add tweaks etc. Any person can do this by sending a code commit to the AOKP gerrit page. This page allows other AOKP users, developers, testers to make sure the code is satisfactory, clean, and doesn’t conflict with any other part of AOKP. Now, its Team Kangs decision on if they add this feature, fix, etc to AOKP (which is called merging), or throwing it out (which they call abandoning). All the features in these releases are merged and official except the ones i label as WIP (work in progress), these are still in testing phase and not official. Those i add in manually in a process which is called cherry picking. Any "cherry picks" may be in a better or worse state from build to build as they are still in progress.
As you may or may not know, since the beginning of this thread the skyrocket has not been a "officially supported device", and still isnt. However its twin brother (the hercules aka t989) is supported by whitehawkx. While these devices aren’t IDENTICAL, they are close enough in hardware to make the two devices "on par" with each other when it comes to a development standpoint (not taking into account what days i build vs whitehawkx etc things may vary). Now, to get builds for this device i use a combination of AOKP code, CM code, and stuff i slapped together, tweaked, changed etc to get skyrocket up and running. I do not consider myself a developer, but i do what i can to help out with skyrocket, as well as test and review new code on the AOKP gerrit page (the commits i was talking about, and me giving my OK on if it should be merged, although the merge is up to Team Kang).
While people thank me constantly for the work i do with supplying builds and the new features that were merged and or committed, they are not my personal work. The modifications to the device tree, source code for skyrocket, and the builds are. As i said above, AOKP is a community of tons of users putting in their share of code, features, and things they would like to see in the ROM. Really you couldn’t even begin to thank everyone that has their hand in AOKP, the amount of people that help out is staggering.
With that said, i hope you enjoy AOKP on the skyrocket, if you can make sure to donate to team kang by visiting their website or the "about aokp" section under Rom Control.
Got AOKP JB building perfect finally, will build as i see fit.

Yeah, id do it multiple times just in case. Camera didnt work for cdshepherd until second flash. But hes off in the head.
So with AOKP you can't have the either of the touch wiz launcers or the touch wiz text messaging theme?
I understand that it indirectly states that it was tested by another member. However, I would never advise anyone to flash a rom that is devoloped yet not tested by the people that built it. I just wouldnt do it. My opinion. However, thanks dev for the ROM, I'm sure there are plenty of people that will flash it!

You may be able to run the launcher, although i dont know why you would want to . Messaging theme no. You could try replacing the messaging APK but i have a feeling that will backfire.

Go to advance ->''Wipe dalvik cache''
Go to "mounts and storage" -> Select "Format /system"
Go to "mounts and storage" -> Select "Format /data''
Go to "mounts and storage" -> Select "Format /cache''
did each one 3 times....

Yeah. I understand. Checked the profile. He has been around far longer than I. Just giving my opinion, I wouldnt trust my phone being flashed with a rom developed by someone without the phone for update purposes and the like. That being said I will leave the thread and you guys can enjoy the rom. Thanks.
Just booted this build up and tested both camera front and back right away and it works and seems very smooth so far....thanks again....
Awesome R4INS. Good job. Maybe this guy can take over the aokp goodness. Have yet to flash. I miss having aokp as a DD lol

Aloha all,
I'm out in Hawaii, where there's a small carrier called Mobi PCS that operates just within the islands. Mobi accepts any esn on its network, but for data to work an off carrier phone must be manually flashed with the proper settings.
I'm trying to make a rom that OTA activates properly without having to be flashed. I have a few phones I've been trying this on. The problem is that the roms seem to want to write the parameters for their original carriers, even with the Mobi PRL flashed to the phone. For example, @mobipcs.com usernames for PPP or PAP get overwritten with @vzw.com, or @uscc.com. I'm not the most experienced developer, and I'm hoping someone here might be able to give me some insight into where I can modify this process.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Mahalo!
I would also like to know this info havnt been able to figure out myself, however have seen some ads on craigslist here in my area claiming to be able to do this. Im not into paying for that kinda thing tho so subscribing in hopes someone who knows will reply...ive tried apn apps to no avail...

Ads for flashing phones or ads for modifying firmware? I flash phones if you need help with anything like mms.
I guess I'm more looking to automate the flashing process. I would like *228 to automatically flash the correct data settings, or I would like a script to run after it and finish the job.
