#1 This isn't based off the SkyRocket ICS leak, it's AOSP. He used some .ril & .lib from the leak to get it running. Huge difference.
#2 Most things are not working, this isn't even a proper release yet, it's an RC.
Data, Audio, Rotation, and many other still need to be worked out.
#3 While it's not customary to shoot the messenger, spreading false info will only lead to flames and more. Just an FYI.
#4 Thanks for the news reporter attempt

I would imagine since it says they're using the Skyrocket ICS kernel, rotation would work for us? Isn't that the deal with AT&T/T-Mo sharing ROMs?

I didn't mean it was ROM BASED
1. I meant the stuff he got is from the SR leak, because the title can be misleading thinking its a t-mobile released. but thanks for making it clearer.
2. RAVER said the data/voice worked fine when he used his parent's ATT sim or something like that.
3. my edit2 suggest that a couple things broke when he fixed other things such as the audio problem. it worked before.
This isn't really false info except that the LEAK BASE might be misleading, but it was easier to say that than AOSP ICS BASED OFF SR LEAK LIB and RIL FILES LOL
BTW shouldn't the ROTATION be fine for ROGERS and ATT and i'm assuming data should work for rogers too.
4. thanks man, just trying to help the source since it was their release that helped us.

I would think it should work fine for ATT and ROGERS skyrocket because.. it is your kernel lol. I really don't know, that's for you guys to find out.

I will gladly test on my t-mobile phone.

URL to the rom? I searched and there are too many to wade through to find it.

You must be talking about this one right?

I tried flashing it a few days ago and I must say I can't wait for the final version to roll out. It's pure amazing. Ofcourse data/sound/etc does not work at the moment but still, I can hardly hold still my erection :$

New Froyo leak for Vibrant T959UVJK6

For all those interested in cooking new roms. Looks like their is a new Vibrant leak. http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/blog/show/5483734-froyo-for-t959-vibrant-
Wish a new Captivate leak would come. Its been a while since JI4...
ok so I got this rom dodexed it. zip aligned it. have 1.4.2 1280 kernel rolling on it. it boots up fast and so far what I have tested works except I don't get signal from ATT.
Any of you other Devs know or point me in the right direction as to what I have to do to get that working?

Official froyo source would certainly make life easier on the chefs...
Trying to get this going on the cappy but updating the phone.apk and utils.apk along with updating the apn info I am still not able to get a signal from AT&T. Not sure why its not working.
Wifi calling works however and this does seem to be pretty responsive other than no Service. Been busy with work but plan on working on this tonight.

Trading off Inspire 4G for Infuse - Questions

Hey guys -- looking forward to joining this infuse community if all goes well.
My first question is the obvious one -- the inspire's dev community is thriving (in my opinion) and the infuse seems to pale in comparison; is the infuse still being worked on or was it just kinda forgotten by the great devs?
How about the GPS? Does samsung's GPS still blow chunks? Have had great success with my Inspire with all the mods and such, getting a perfect lock in a few seconds, hoping the Infuse is just up to par.
And what's all this with RPS file system? What does it do that makes the phone slower, and is there any way to convert to ext4? Pardon my complete lack of understanding, I don't understand any of this.
I really like the cyanogenmod ROM i've been running on my inspire -- is there going to be official support/love for the infuse or is it going to stay unofficial ports? No offense to the dev of the port, but it's just a question.
I'm not used to trade off's when modding my phone. I don't want to grab a ROM and sacrifice bluetooth or battery life. Would this be an issue with the Infuse?
Thanks!
PS: Sorry for duplicate threads, realized this is probably a better section for this.
We have lots of cool stuff here, but no much that is 'official' since we rely on ports, leaks, patches, and our outstanding developers. I have not missed CM7 at all since I came to the infuse. So much to flash and tweak and try!
-Sent from the Chuck Norris of phones
Do you think things will change once GB is officially out? Or am I late and is it already out haha.
If so I'll go through with this trade off, but I really don't want to trade out a high-traffic (regarding development anyways) device for one that relies solely on ports with no real "official" love from them.
Thread got moved while replying I think lol, I posted a reply while it was in Q&A... :-\
Don't worry madman I'll go check out your post -- appreciate any response at all!

Development will definitely pick up once official GB comes out, I know for sure that a few of the more popular Roms will get an "Official GB" update, not to mention it might spike interest in mainstream Roms such as CM7, MIUI (or atleast I'm hoping )
I think one of my favorite Infuse abilities is Linuxbozo's Hellraiser Rom, you can ports tons of JVQ Roms from other phones. Let's just say it's not easy to get bored with this phone.

Been looking at a ton of other threads and people seem to think GB won't be officially coming out -- but as that bootloader leak shows it seems it will.
What do you think? That's really the only thing holding me back -- whether or not GB will officially be released. I don't need a huge variety of ROM's; I cycled between 3 on my inspire. I just want a few really stable ones.

It will, slowly but surely we've been getting more and more leaks. The past 3 weeks we have gotten a weekly leak compared to a monthly before

There will be official GB, just the fact that we got bootloaders shows that Samsung is preparing to get GB fully ready to ship to AT&T, and since it's already bloated, all AT&T has to do is start OTA'ing it.
If you need to flash different ROM's then what we have now (I won't lie, the Rogers GB based ROM's aren't the best, but they function and are stable, but the AT&T GB based ones will be MUCH better.
Also, if you want to test more ROM's out, just grab LB's hellraiser, find a JVQ, JVR, anything that the thread lists you can flash, grab the ROM itself from the i9k, vibrant, captivate, and flash away! There's so many ROM possibilities thanks to LB (and all you other dev's that helped).

Honestly...yes in my opinion,when my phone was stock but once I flashed Serendipity 7 with Angry GPS, it completley fixed the GPS issues I had. Really, any probs we have with the infuse IS fixed or WILL be fixed with official GB.

Interesting; if it opens the doors completely then what's with the hubbub of developing infuse native roms if we can just take another phone's? Do the hellraiser-ported rom's function as if native, or are some features missing?

I might not be 100% correct but I'm pretty sure Hellraiser serves as a basis on which we then download non-infuse Roms, which means it optimizes it to work like a native rom with the infuse, it really is an awesome way to fulfill your "multiple rom addiction" that most of us have

[Q] Any good ICS solution for Rogers users as of April 2nd?

I've read through the threads on all the forums, and nothing definitive yet. Also things are changing so fast over the last few days, I figured this needed asking.
I'm hearing people say that some of the zip cooked ROMs can be installed on the 727R but only if you have the leak installed first with ODIN.
When I go through the leaked ROM thread, it says it doesn't work on Roger's Skyrockets.
So is there any way to take a stock, or non-stock GB ROM and get either the leaked ROM or a cooked ROM onto a 727R?
Thanks
This works on Rogers. I flashed this from stock rooted Rogers GB.

+1 today it's been unstable for me a lot and the battery leak is still happening
I think there may be slight differences between the Skyrocket & Rogers version, that only Samsung know about.
One only has to look at the Samsung Focus 1.3 & 1.4 revisions. Both are identical except for a minor difference, but it caused major headaches for MS when pushing updates. It wouldn't surprise me if Samsung does the same on the Android side.
So with this leak your running an unfinished ROM, & one that may not be intended for your revision of hardware
i think that could very well be true. because of this battery drain 2-3% every less than half hour is like does this rom really feel it should be like this. also reboot issues, rom hanging in here & there, its not about the "work-around" but actual work seems very unstable. their devs are even soo stupid that when i ripped dialer.apk they spelled dailer in 1 of the imgs rather then dialer..it made me laugh soo hard..

Thank you everyone for responding. Gonna wait a few days and see how this plays out for Rogers uses. Hope other Rogers users post results here.
If you are on Rogers, flash the thing from the second post then flash any of the other ICS ROMs.

1)Backup!
2)Factory Reset
3)Advanced - Wipe Dalvik
4)Manual reset: - Mounts and storage, Format system,data & cache
5)Flash UCLA4 ICS radio
6)Flash the ICSMOD5_wipe version
7)Boot
8)Wait...wait even more...don't panic...
9)Enjoy
Everything including data and gps, and time issues were okay.
On the apex launcher, the messenger icon is bonked, just remove the shortcut and put the messaging shortcut again.
Wifi Tether: Starts up via toggle mod, can set password and stuff, computer connects to it but no data goes thru.
Will report back on battery use and possible issues.
So far so good.

I've had to do this a few times, but I have gotten stable LTE on all the ICS builds so far.

Well I'll believe it when I see it I haven't seen anything else from CM showing support for Mecha at all there isn't even a forum for it. So far none of the developers aren't going to make a new RIL so until there is a leak or an update we won't see fully working ICS in any fashion. TwistedUmbrella and ProTekk have both made great progress in getting things work but RIL won't work until HTC releases the goods. So who knows maybe once that happens CM9 will get official and release a nightly and make a forum idk.
Workshed has been the CM guru since I've had a smartphone. When the ril is cracked or leaked for ics I'd expect an unofficial cm or official

+1 Twisted has an awesome base for his ROM, and I personally appreciate him waiting for an official ril. I personally want a working stable ics ROM, not another unofficial cm with half assed data that gets no updates like 99% of thunderbolt ROMs.

There was not a forum for a lot of phones they had committed to yet (like the Galaxy Nexus) last time I looked.
I would not take that as a negative sign. A forum will come when the kernel comes I am sure.
the Galaxy Nexus has a forum. But yeah idk ever since the whole CM7 thing I kinda gave up on CM.
Well, either way you look at it Cyanogenmod is such a unique ROM, made such a huge splash that parts of it were implemented in vanilla AOSP in 4.0 by Google. That's huge. And I can't say I know of any other ROM that's done something like that. So having official CM9 support is a massive plus, and I know exactly which ROM I'll be running when it happens
You guys really need to go to Rootzwiki. The development for the TB is happening there, there's already a CM9 port and two AOSP 4.0.4 ports with all but the RIL working.
All those are posted here except liquid ICS I think. But the only one that has actually been updated and released for quite a while is Twisted Playground and that is here and on Rootzwiki. I would say currently Twisted Playground has the most working. Once RIL is released in one form or another ProTekk will update AOKP idk if Liquid will update his or not from what I could see it didn't really differ a whole lot from AOKP. So we just have to wait once there is a working RIL we'll get more updated working roms.
Tbolt channel of Rootwiki and Androidcentral do seem to be a bit more populated then xda. Either way, dont care where it happens, il be checking all 3 as much as posible for CM9 and / or ICS ROMS
Rootzwiki is better for somethings but lately Twisted Playgrounds thread on XDA has been better.
Yeah I bounce back and forth between the two.
I don't know what it is, but I feel like XDA is my home and always will be.... I miss when it was THE centralized location for Android development

[Q] Stable ICS Rom Links please!

Hello, I finally got my wife to agree to let me root and put a custom rom on her infuse, currently running froyo. I just rooted it last night and was looking around for some stable ICS roms. I found lots of discussions about which roms were best but had a somewhat more difficult time finding the links to said roms. And stability is a must here as she knows absolutely nothing about messing around with phones. Also GPS and Bluetooth are absolute musts as well. She finally agreed to let me do this after seeing galaxy s2 running CM9. So I was kinda leaning towards a cm9 rom, a lot of the ones I saw though listed Bluetooth problems so I was wondering whose cm9 would be best for what I'm looking for here. That being said I am open to all stable ICS roms, not just tunnel visioned on cm9. So, if you all give me some good stable ICS rom, and their links, I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Just my 2 cents worth.......been d/l ROMs since GB........the JB ROMs that are out now are more stable than ICS.
Edit: biggest problem is, most of the Devs have moved on to JB.

In addition to the above comments. I would also caution you about future wife beatings and crazy ass tandrums if your giving a rooted phone to her. I know your asking about ICS, and some are suggesting Jellybean, however the best thing you can do for her is to put a rooted Gingerbread ROM like the following and just yank out whatever junk you don't want and keep it running smoother then stock!:
- Infused 2.2.3 (Extremely stable ROM that i used as my daily driver without incident for almost a year! Disadvantage is that it is no longer being developed. But really, it doesn't need anything else done to it.. absolutely everything just works!)
- Aeon (This is one of the newer Gingerbread ROM's that is still being updated and mantained. Also a very stable ROM where everything just works. The downside in my opinion is the Themeinig that is build into the ROM. Great for most, but not for everyone.)
Both of the above are excellent choices for a wife! And they are both built off of stock firmware so everything works.
Believe me, i would normally never reccomend someone go back to Gingerbread, but as she is coming from Froyo she will notice a big improvement. Also, from one man to the next. I can tell you, my bigest mistake was replacing my wifes crack berry with my older rooted X10. It was great for me, but for her she just wants things to work. The second something doesn't work, she turns into the hulk! I absolutely love to tinker and i'm never done messing with my phone, but don't assume your wife will appreciate the challenges as much as you would! I ended up just putting it back to bone stock and gave it to her with the understanding that she was not to complain to me anymore! LOL
Oh one last thing.. the saying really is true.. "A happy Wife is a happy Life!" LOL
