installing xloud and bravia engine..how? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

i'm running TPC v3 right now and don't really feel like switching, the only things I miss on this ROM versus the others i've flashed are xloud and the bravia engine... is there a way to install these on my device without having to flash a whole new ROM?
Sent from my SGH-I727R using XDA App

basically, no. Sorry

well... nuts. I think i'm going to stick with this ROM regardless.. TPC is just too good on battery, speed and stability.
I might do some dissection on the wifes phone to see if I can't find a method for installing these.
thanks dude. you're one of the posters that I always pause to read keep on keepin' on

good to know my opinions and advice are appreciated :-D. As for this rom, its my personal favourite as well, at least until ics

fingers crossed we get it soon, not so much for the update itself, but what people will be able to DO with it.

nope, unless u flash cm7, but the alpha build for our phones is still really buggy, so I wouldn't recommend it

Why flash roms?

So I was just wondering why would we flash roms? I mean the current stock os is almost bug free + when flashing roms we are faced with some major bugs sometimes.
I know that we would have the choice to remove bloatware, cutomise status bar, and sometime oc. That's all nice but still I don't see why not leave it as is?
Please excuse my ignorance. I just came from a rooted Dinc w/ miui
And I wanna have a better understanding.
Thanks

For me it's the freedom to do with my phone what I want. These developers kick out some sweet features that we'll never see from a stock ROM, and they get us the latest software before the manufacturers. I bug here or there is well worth it for me, and if it's to bad you can always revert. If you prefer the stock experience, than by all means leave it alone. But me, I'm a tinkerer. Be it a car, truck, bike... or yes, even a phone, I can't leave well enough alone.
Because we can
To pick up chicks......I haven't met one yet that's not turned on by 48+ mflops!
Can't do that with stock.....
This might seem like an odd answer... I flash so I can have a standard interface on my phones. I've had a droid, droid x, and thunderbolt in the last year and a half (my company does some android development on in house apps for one of our clients, and we go through a lot of test phones). having something close to a stock interface minimizes the daily annoyances of moving between those phones.... which is why I use the aosp roms.

Wait, you came from a phone that you rooted and flashed MIUI on, but don't understand why others choose to not stay stock
Why??? that's not the correct question. The correct question is why not!

The best ROM for my mom

My mom just got an Infuse 4G last night. She's unhappy with the stock ROM (rather, she's not liking it). Realistically I am using this opportunity to break the woman into smartphones, and the Infuse 4G is a great one with a screen that she can read (I love the look of that AMOLED, it's making me want a Samsung when it's time to upgrade).
The question is, which ROM is the most user-friendly? If you read my sig you'll see I have an Atrix 4G myself and am currently running an Alpha ROM so you'll know I am no stranger to the mod community. I just don't want to go from ROM to ROM to ROM showing her each one, wasting my entire day reflashing her phone. If anyone can come up with one or two suggestions for me to try for her, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm looking for something ICS-like, smooth as butter, and not over-the-top like some of the Atrix guys like to go. Thanks for your help!

Imho, find out what she wants out of the phone and tweak it with apps. Stick with stock froyo and avoid the grief.
Ex. Big text battery indicator to show battery. Business calendar is better than stock. Go launcher is better than stock. Show her how to put direct dial shortcut on the screen etc...show her the widgets.
Leave the rom alone because everything works.
From my experience, it's the app and how to use the phone...not the ROM
For better battery life, odin flash one of the stock gingerbread leaks and leave it. KK4 leak would be OK. KL2 is better but tw30 is messed up on it. I like the stock froyo but the battery life sucks.

See I'm attempting to throw CatyRom on it, the ICS app tray is really what I'm after. Something like that would keep it simple for her to find things without having to go through the app drawer which is what has overloaded her in the past. She absolutely refuses to use an iPhone because of this.

Hah. I thought this thread was a joke when I read the subject line.
Well at this point it we have a handful of really good stable, infuse based roms. So it's all about what color she wants really lol.
Have her take a look at the screenshots for : Zeus, Caty, Bionix, Numas, Victory rom, or infused(old one but a goodie). And pick which one is astheticaly pleasing to her.
Nah, no joke. I made some modifications that allow single-touch activation of apps/tools but other than that she seems happy with Caty. She's a blue person, so it worked in my favor.
It seems odd that someone who has had no experience with smartphones minus playing with someone's iPhone and hating it would want to jump head-long into the ROM world but she's seen the difference it made in my phone. ICS on my Atrix is great, and I am hoping that one day you guys get it running on the Infuse, it seems like a good phone and you folks seem like an intelligent bunch.
Zeus (gb rom).
Plus:
Bluetooth and wifi are working good. Good battery. GPS is good.
Minus (common to ALL gb roms):
HDMI out does not work

Jerky Slow Scrolling Stock Browser

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.

You can always wipe just once. If you have ever owned an evo you'll find left over data sometimes after a fresh install. So I always recommend 3x wipes to make sure your phone is cleaned all the way,before install.

Both Roms now data app enabled. Xloud volumes have already been lowered,can be adjusted in dsp manager. Beats now native. On NS. Go launcher is slow at first it needs to build cache. Once it boots fully, just reboot and it speeds up.
This is much better in new version.
Mms issue on SS will be handled, by Handcent as native mms. It's just way better. And works flawlessly.
New Roms will be up soon,I still need to fix a few more things.

[Q] Lightweight ROM for Infuse

Hi everyone, I was just wondering what you all recommend for a lightweight ROM for the infuse, id like it to be stable as possible and no bloatware. Basically a ROM with nothing but the basics and lets you get the job done.
Thanks in advance!
Also, if there is not really a match for this or others would like this I would love to get one up myself. If someone could point me towards the basics of creating a ROM it would be greatly appreciated.
I've only tried Legend 3 ICS, Mind of Mac, and Ethereal 1.2/1.3, and while they're all great in their individual ways, i've found Ethereal to be the smoothest with a slight speed advantage over the others. It seems to be the most basic with not a lot, but just enough theming to set it apart from stock. It's the ROM i'm sticking with for now. I'm sure others will have some suggestions too..
I've been using stock gb with bloatware removed for about two months now. Works great and is pleasantly smooth. Used Holocaust launcher for the ICS look w/o the battery drain, bugs, etc.

Those are all good options for stable, close to stock, and debloated. I'd add Vagabond 3.5 and 4.0 to the list too.
You can also grab dman's UCLB3 rooted, deodexed package and do your own debloating either by removing apps from the zip in /system/app or using TiBu to do the same once installed... that will get you very close to stock, stable, debloated, and rooted...
And...there are plenty of other roms that have more customizations, are still stable, and provide a different look and feel to using your Infuse. I recommend finding the stable rom you like, then using the infuse toolkit to make a full rom backup and a config backup. After that you can survey the Infuse Super Everything Thread (ISET) for links to other roms. (Links to toolkit and ISET are in my sig).
cm7
or cm9?
I just started using slim ics,its small like 80mb
Ethereal for me, I haven't tried a lot of ROMs though. I tried MIUI few months ago, the version I tried was very fast, but buggy. No Bluetooth, no HDMI etc.
Recently, I tried Ethereal, most recent version with HOLO Launcher and I must say my Infuse has been brought back to life. I might keep it for another year until a stable Jelly Bean Android device comes out. I wish they make a Nexus with expandable memory and a +5 inch screen; until then, Infuse on Ethereal will be my daily driver
