Download latest nightly and put it on sd card as .zip file (think its 114), boot into clockwork mod, make a backup, do a full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache in advanced settings, flash CM7, flash google add on, reboot. Enjoy the awesome Rom!

Loving Trigger
Trigger is a wonderfully stable and rock-solid build. GPS locks--check, no reboots and stable check mounts to computer no problem check proximity sensor works, check. The honeycomb lockscreen is wonky, but otherwise its my ROM of choice!

Guys i have a question, i play a bunch of game on my phone. When i do a back up from CWR, does it also backup my data of the games. Meaning when i install the games again on the new rom will i have to start all over and stuff or will it automatically pick up the data saved games?

It will do a complete backup literally exactly as you left it, it will be like nothing happened, meaning yes it will save your saved games.

yes and no

as mister hat said a nandroid will back it up completely so if you return to that rom with restore it will be exactly like when you left.
but if you install a new rom and wipe data and cache unless the game data is backed up on the sdcard it wont pick that data up from the nandroid.
the data will be there if you restore the rom you backed up but wont be found by a new rom.
hope this helps.

G2xtreme is nice. Fast and efficient

Eagles blood had a lot of data disconnects which makes you reboot the phone- at least for me.
CM7 nightly was pretty stable besides the phone reboot (which is more hardware I believe).

Would a different kernel gives better battery life for weapon?

I say Weapon is the best all around. If I didn't think it was so ugly I would use it as my main driver.
CM7 is known for its options and theme support. It has an occasional bug but pretty solid.
MIUI is based off CM7 and is VERY themeable and has its own set of unique options and tweaks. You can change the appearance of everything and mix and match themes, change lockscreen styles, and even boot animations on the fly through their theme app. I also love all of their defaults app (phone, music, messaging apps). I also like how the wallpaper and sound options also have an "online" tab to find and download media to use on the go. Really slick. Its what I use.
Whitehawks MIUI and fauxs 4.1 SV DM kernel.

Launcher [request]

Is there any way someone can port touchwiz 4.0 from the T-Mobile galaxy s 2 to work with our kj6 roms? (Valahalla, octane v3, etc). I know about touchwiz 4.5 but its very unstable on my phone for some reason and its app sorting in the app drawer does not work. I love how smooth tw4 is compared to others like launcher pro and adw and I just think it looks soo much better. I appreciate it if anyone can help. I'm sure other memebers would like this as well. Thanks!

That's tw4.5 though..... it has made my phone reboot ever since froyo days. Whenever I do something ram intensive on that launcher, my phone reboots. I never experience that with others like launcher pro. And how the app drawer doesn't sort properly is a pain. Thanks for the help though..

Actually I made the cwm zip from an apk I found while googling for touch wiz 4.0 apk lol it worked so I thought it was worth posting. I've never used 4 or 4.5 and I got the wrong one, lol sorry for the confusion. It was mislabeled and I have no experience with the either of them.

The 4.5 comes from the fact that it was a modified version of 4. This launcher automatically comes configured with the stay in ram feature selected- it's been awhile but I am sure that Launcherpro has that feature as well, but it is by default off. Try disabling that and see if it just fc's the launcher (thus resulting in a restart of the launcher) as opposed to your phone crashing. Thats really the only thing that would separate it from other launchers. You can turn the 3d effects off as well to help with the ram. I always make sure to kill passive processes- then again I do not use octane so I am not sure how it runs.
I never had problems with the app drawer. You can change the sorting preferences in the preferences menu of the launcher. It is by default on unrestricted, but you can change it to alphabetical.

I tried turning that off, launcher won't even open anymore so I had to reinstall it. Tried running it for a day but it just doesn't work on my phone which is currently running valahlla final. I have the app drawer set to alphabetical but it still doesn't sort properly. If I install a lot of new apps or delete a lot of apps, there are lots of blank spaces and the only way to get rid of the spaces is to manually move each app one by one which is really a big pain. I just want stock touchwiz 4. I hope someone can get it to work on this phone. After playing with my brother's galaxy s 2, none of the launchers on the market feel anywhere close to that smooth.

Yeah go launcher is pretty good. Still isn't as fast as launcher pro though. I really wish we had a stock touchwiz 4 launcher for this phone. Tw4.5 freezes too much and no other launcher out there really comes close to how fluid tw4 is. I've tried like every launcher in the market too.

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 have this same problem on Anton's BAREBONES rom. It's frustrating because I love everything else works fine with the rom. The scroll tweak didn't fix the issue it's probably something else. I didn't have this problem with the stock rom.

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.

[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

don't know about data loss, i float back and forth between 3g and 4g seeing as i'm in a ****ty area, but there's still no app drawer and no way to sort automatically (at least no way to sort that i've seen, but no app drawer for sure)

Are the same issues present as in the CM10 builds? I am assuming they are.

Can't wait for it to mature a little bit more before trying it out. I am a getting a little too old to flash new roms!

There are tons of features in MIUI besides the launcher, I'd suggest you take a look at http://en.miui.com/
Just off the top of my head, things MIUI has that no other rom can match - theming, backup/restore, contacts/sms/dialer, speed, the music player, toggles etc.
I used to swear by MIUI when I had my Evo 4G, by far the most unique and best rom on Android, it replaces so many apps you need to install. I just hope it becomes stable for ICS/JB soon.

So far I'm finding this miui ROM has better 4g data capabilities than any cm ROM that I've tried. I've tested numerous ROMs in an area that has shifting 3/4g and this miui build has the same 4g strength as my Beans tw ROM.

Not sure if that has changed. However, I just created a folder, put all of my less used apps in there then dragged it to the launcher. Voila, app drawer. kind of.
