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.

4. Download UI Switcher app above and install, run it, grant superu permission, and you are set to go from PHONE to TABLET to PHABLET and back and forth. (DPI ranges: TABLET(144-213...default option is 213), PHABLET(2014-220...default option is 213), PHONE(221-320...default option is 320).
5. To add more apps to the multiwindow bar/tray, use my Xposed Multiwindow Apps Manager module (requires that you already have Xposed Framework installed) which you can download on my dedicated thread HERE. Enabling/disabling apps requires a soft reboot for system to recognize the change.
6. ENJOY! POST FEEDBACK and SCREENSHOTS or VIDEOS.
7. A simple THANKS would be nice.
NOTE: In using these mods, you may lose mods/features that you already installed previously that affects the following files ( SystemUI.apk, SecSettings.apk, FlashBarService.apk, framework-res.apk, services.jar and android.policy.jar).
Moving from one UI to another affects stability of stock apps so you might want to choose alternatives. Use Xposed App Settings to correct misplaced layouts of stock apps or you can import apps from Note 10.1, note 8 and Tab 2. Use multi-dpi Play Store. I suggest you choose one UI and optimised apps for it and stick with it. TW Launcher does not like changing UI so you may encounter frequent FC so be sure you install alternative launcher. You can go to settings and delete data for TW Launcher to fix it. Stock browser does not like window mode so it is best to use the Note 8 stock browser. Dialer/Contacts will have layout issues and may FC in window mode so I advise not to launch it in window mode or you can just use Note 10.1 or Note 8 Contacts/Dialer which solves this issues or better yet install alternative Contacts/Dialer from PlayStore.

THREAD HISTORY BELOW: For those who want to know how it started.
******************************************************* How it started... ******************************************************
Hello Note 2 Friends,
I hope you don't mind me crashing into your forum. First, I want to tell you I don't have a Note 2 but I have a Note 1 and some Note 2 users who have been following my threads in the Note 1 forum have been nagging me for quite some time now about bringing some features of my mods from Note 1 to Note 2. It took me awhile but I decided to give it a shot, but I was hoping I could get your help along the way. This is a work in progress (or development in progress) and I ask you to understand the limitations that I have considering I don't own the device. If in the process I am not able to achieve the goal I set out to accomplish, I would ask the moderators to delete this thread but in the meantime, to those who are interested, please, let us help each other achieve the goal.
So what is the goal?
The goal is to get a working TouchWiz Tablet UI and Phablet UI with floating multiwindows using the stock Note 2 systemui/frameworks so all the stock features are maintained and at higher dpis so text and pages are readable. The end goal is something like the photos at the bottom of this post.
I intend to do this in several stages.
1. Make a multi-dpi SystemUI that can scale from Tablet, Phablet and Phone dpis.
2. Trigger Tablet and Phablet UI at higher densities to make texts and pages readable.
3. Floating Multiwindows.
Before I proceed I want to make it clear that this goal may or may not be achievable because of my limitations and maybe limitations of code in the stock Note 2 firmware. I have not tested this on a Note 2 device and I posted it here to solicit volunteers for testing and for feedback. In the process of testing, please let me know any issues (possibly with more details, descriptions and screenshots) so we can iron out those issues.
Let us start with stage 1.
Requirements: rooted deodex rom - XXDMC3 (I used Wanam's XXDMC3 Rom as base so it is preferable to start with that, although it may work with other roms. But since it is a first stage, I want to be close to stock as possible and do themes/mods later). Please make a backup before you proceed - Very Important.
a. Install an alternative launcher like Apex or Nova, etc.
b. Install an alternative keyboard like Swype, Swiftkey, etc.
c. Download THIS and flash thru recovery. Reboot.
d. Now, let us test if it works.
e. Install build prop editor and change ro.sf.lcd_density value to 200 (tablet).
f. See if tablet UI is triggered at 200 dpi. If it is, then good.
g. Test Phablet UI by changing ro.sf.lcd_density value to 220. Then Reboot.
h. Waiting for your feedback...
Note: These are the dpis for the different UIs: 221 to 320 -> Phone UI, 201 to 220 -> Phablet UI, 160 to 200 -> Tablet UI.
******************************************************************************************************************
Stage 2
It seems Stage 1 is complete but only for some ROMs - the reason I believe is due to heavy modification of the SystemUI specially with regards to battery themes and maybe the use of addon frameworks like simplistic but tablet UI works with unmodified and slightly modified N7100 MC3 roms.
Stage 2 is partly done by stage 1 already because tablet UI is triggered at higher densities. Technically, tablet ui for the Note 2 is supposed to start at 144 dpi and phablet ui at 192 dpi but because of the modified frameworks, it is triggered at minimum 200 for tablet and minimum 220 for phablet. I dont know if tablet @ 200 dpi or phablet @ 220 dpi is good enough for you Guys size-wise as I can not see without a test device so you will have to tell me the sweet spot (what dpi) for tablet and phablet so I can modify the triggered density and make adjustments in spacing/padding of the navigation buttons/lockscreen shortcuts, etc. If you use _TB_TB xposed Tablet UI trigger found HERE with the Xposed Framework and trigger tablet ui at different densities and see which is the "sweet spot" dpi. Another is modifying Settings to include the quick launch option to enable/disable quicklaunch options on the systembar.
NOTE: While _TB_TB (he is the author of TabletUI trigger by the way) made a post here to not mess with dpi, that is what TabletUI trigger actually does. The difference between his method and mine is that mine has fine-grained control and can give you the option to move from one UI to another with properly spaced nav bar buttons. When and "IF" my mod is finished I will provide a very simple app to move from one UI to another and from Stock Multiwindow or Floating Multiwindow. Please take note of the word "IF" because there is a possibilty that the Note 2 firmware may not have the code for these features like it does for the Note 1 and Note 10.1 and Note 8.
Reading some of the posts, I believe a lot of devs have already attempted to go past Stage 3 and encountered some problems/issues considering they have a device to test with so I am thinking maybe Note 2 does not have the essential codes for floating windows. I believe they are smart enough to know how floating windows works and how it is enabled. This makes me think twice whether to proceed to stage 3 or not. But there is one test I need to make to know if it works or not but that would be on stage 3 so now you just have to tell me the best tablet dpi or phablet dpi and please post screenshots of graphical errors or whatever so I know how to fix them.
For those using the tablet and phablet UI, I know there are layout problems with stock apps because they can't scale well at lower dpis. You can use alternative Note 10.1 or Note 8 ported apps which are already in their respective forums and I recommend you use xposed framework and app settings module to set your preferred app layouts. Another is modifying Flashbar multiwindow for multi-dpi but I need to get the screen dimensions so I can properly mod it. If you install Screeninfo app, it will tell you the screen sizes (w x h) if using tablet/phablet ui and let me know the dimensions or maybe a screenshot so I will be able to modify Flashbar correctly.
For other Note 2/SGS 3 models like AT&T and Verizon,etc, you need to give me your Rom-related files so I can mod them. I need the SystemUI.apk, FlashBarService.apk, SecSettings.apk, framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, android.policy.jar and services.jar. Please state the device model and JB version so I can properly label them for others.
*************************************************************************************************************************************
Stage 3
Stage 3 is complete at least for the N7100 model with MC3 firmware. There are some limitations with the floating windows of Note 2 like no "Resize button" when apps are maximized/fullscreen because there are missing drawables in framework-res.apk and some incomplete multiwindow code. The truth is the Note 1 has more mature multiwindow code than the Note 2 and because of not having this device I could not possibly recreate the missing resources and code that are missing in Note 2 firmware. In fact, I would say the Note 2 JB 4.1.1 has more complete resources and code for floating multiwindows than the JB 4.1.2. If anyone is interested in the JB 4.1.1 then you can send me a PM together with the necessary files and I'll try to do the same mod for you.

sorry for bad english..
Edit: floating multiwindows not work
SystemUI keeps crashing here.
X-Note v2.1 Zero
No floating windows in WanamLite rom. Will try another one.
Anyway thanks alot xperiacle, good work!
Try this samsung keyboard: works in tablet mode:
http://db.tt/bJVMnXzy
AFAIK in note2 devices dpi 145~160 is for tablet (145 gives cleaner UI) and 213 for phablet, please try it. User of Meoo's note 10.1 port.
This is just the first step towards the goal of floating Windows guys. It's not there yet. Xperiacle stated this is first step. He doesn't own the device. Just want to make sure the system can function at multiple dpi's. The next step will come later after having success with that.

Android L Themed 4.4.2 ROM
inc, L keyboard, and L transitions.
androidteamforce.es/rom-g4s-g5s-android-l-style-4-4-2-tf-team-force-2
site is in spanish...
JIAYU G4S in question.
iv been using this as a daily driver, and is amazing!
its very smooth, Runs ART stock out of the box, and best of all ITS STOCK ANDROID!
Iv been using this with Nova Launcher, since the google now laucher on this rom doesnt have transparent status bar
updating to newest google now launcher has same issue
The battery life is amazing, standby for almost 10 hours, doesnt loose 1% of battery, iv gone entire weekends without charging! (note g4s 300mah version)
on screen time is also very good
Xposed also works, but obviously NO ART SUPPORT!
Camera app is very decent, although its not a google camera, its still very good.
Pros:
Butter smooth
Stock Android 4.4.2
Good features
Battery is Incredible
google dialer stock
Cons:
Gps doesnt function well (but all mediatek phones have terrible gps)
Google launcher has no transparency for status bar.
can be some slow downs because the cpu touch is default =2 cores (see reccomendations)
answer call dialer is abit strange..
recommendations:
NOVA LAUNCHER. (buy prime, its great)
CPU ADJUSTER. (make default profile, 15000 sample rate, touch cpu = 4 and Deadline.) (make screen off time same, but limit max cpu usage to 728mhz) (NOTE: this uses a7 cores which are very power efficent, iv tested 4 cores vs 2 cores on touch, and battery life is very similar.)
enjoy this guys
AND! Thank you Team Force for all your effort, and keep up the amazing work, i hope one day you end up in the league of other amazing rom makers on XDA
how to you install it?
My 3e recovery do not seem to like their rom and recovery
Hi
Anyone found a way to group apps in the appdrawer ? as in folder structure and so on?
Been trying my darnedest with no luck... On the other hand my LG G3 ( also with lollipop) allows me to do what I need with no issues
Suggestions ladies and gents?
You'll need to use a different launcher...
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using XDA Free mobile app
Any suggestions regarding a clean and simple launcher?
Wouldn't mind a recommendation
I'd wait to hear if anyone else has any suggestions, but I hear many like Nova Launcher (I believe you'd need the "Prime" version for folders/groupings in the app drawer though).
Personally, I'm using ADW Launcher Ex and like it quite a bit, but can't recommend it as it hasn't been updated in a LONG time and many suggest it's been abandoned (although the dev recently tweeted something that indicates otherwise...)
Let us know what you try.
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using XDA Free mobile app
After testing back and forth I ended up with Nova ( paid for the Prime edition, worth it)
tested ( not in any particular order):
Google Now = Too focused on Google now features ( that I don't use), didn't add much, and I still couldn't app folders to appdrawer
ADW = Felt a tad sluggish compared to Nova, tons of themes and such but hasn't been updated for a while ( like An Droid said) still a good launcher, seems to have more options then Nova, so better for tweaking and customisation
Apex = A toss up between this one and nova. This one might have more features, but I found the functions on nova more user-friendly. I'd say "too close to call "on this one
Yahoo Aviate Launcher = In short, too automated, it tries to learn from you, predict your actions and such. Like grouping the apps based on auto defined categories and trying to constantly come with suggestions on how to use , where to use and when to use it. Most things can be tweaked and customised, like groups and folders for apps, suggestions for apps and automation level. It just wasn't for me. Too busy and a bit of a resource hog . Though some cool features were tempting, like the location based home screen and app drawer organisation. One sett of settings and home layouts for when the tab senses it's at work, and another for home, then another for evening and another for... and so on.. tons of possibilities. I'm just not into the automation stuff
Buzz Launcher= Very interesting launcher , very customisable, tons and tons and tons ....and tons of themes. But a bit too much. Though you can always tweak everything , and if you don't like your, icon pack, home design, appdrawer etc... you just download someone else's. Tons of option...but felt a bit like everything and the kitchen sink. Don't get me wrong , found some fancy stuff in there, cool themes that go far far far beyond a desktop wallpaper tweak with funky icons. I't just more for the designer that doesn't mind fussing over 30++ pages of themes and icon + wallpaper combos, then spend a while adjusting them. But it ended up being a launcher where I spent more time testing other people "launcher" setups, then actualy using the function of the launcher it self ( if you catch my drift) if I spent long enough I'm sure I would have landed on a favourite theme ..... eventually
Action Launcher Pro = A bit like aviate, but not so automated. decent set of features, some automation and habit pattern recognition ( sees what you do and tries in certain cases to predict what you need)... but left me with a bit of a "meh" feeling. Not bad, just not great
I spent 2-3 days with each ( I know it's not nearly enough time, but gives you a sense whether you might like it or not)
WHY NOVA?
Well, it's
sleek
simple
fast
minimal resources
A decent selection of features , the the possibilities to add more
Gesture based actions and short-cut customisation
Intuitive menus and settings
In short simple enough download and leave as is, but still open to a decent amount of tweaks. very fast and responsive.
NOTE Non of the launchers were really something you would call sluggish. We are talking about a tiny margin, and a very subjective opinion! And the Shield is a beast after all
As a point of reference, I also own a note 10.1 2014 32 GB, and it's sluggish ( even after several factory resets and barely any apps / services running), not rooted though ( warranty issue ), Running stock touchWiz "enhanced" Kitkat.
Keep in mind I went on the hunt simply recourse I wanted to find a way to sort out the folders in appdrawer issue. With NovaI found that as well as a few features I didn't really look for , but welcomed non-the less.
Nova is very much Recommended!
hopes this helps
Cheers lads!
I find it kinda weird that this phone isn't even able to get a constant 60 fps on the settings app. The skin doesn't even seem to be that heavily customized like touchwiz
They're not as stable. I prefer stability over visual flair; Function over form.
