[Q] daily drivers ??? - Samsung Infuse 4G

i have heard people drop the phrase "daily driver" or list daily drivers in thier signature lines. as i refer to the super thread, i notice some people are listing kernals and some are listing roms as thier daily driver in thier sinature lines.
If i understand the term, is the daily driver not basically the workhorse or your phone?
I AM pretty noobie-ish, not to mention a dullard. been reading posts for m
months and just now figured why i couldnt post or reply to threads.
Is there an advantage to flashing something specific as a "daily driver"?

I believe, and I am a noob also..... that most people are stating that a given rom being a daily driver is bug free, and has all the functions working that they depend on. Thus good enough to use daily vs just test.
And just because it functions as, for example I need, doesn't mean it will for you.
Example, if you feel you really NEED HDMI, some roms defined as daily drivers might not be for you.

Daily driver is just the name of a fashable mod for the infuse
There isn't daily updates for it its just a name
You can find out more about it here

yup..just like bigjoe said, it's what you would use everyday...hence the dd.
Entropy's DD kernel is what he ran on his phone when he had the infuse.
It may be shocking for you to find out that some users flash several roms a day out of boredom...bigjoe may be one such person.
You are not able to respond in some thread because you need @ least 10 posts before you can post in the development area.
You can reply in Q/A or general though...there is no restrictions there.

Yeah, I knew I couldn't post in development, but for months I wasn't able to figure out why I couldn't post anywhere. I figured out I was never sent the link to activate my participation. For months I have been reading and was able to get rooted and flash Rome, in actuality, thanks to your posts. Had not been even able to post the many thanx to people like you, dman and the rest of the collective who sacrifice so much of their time and effort to people like me and development. Thanx to all and I hope to now get more involved.

Are devs leaving XDA in favor of ROOTZWIKI?

It used to be almost every dev would release their mods on XDA and they would eventually trickle out to the other forums. Lately I noticed more stuff being released on ROOTZWIKI and not on XDA. 2 cases in point are IMNUTS hacked kernel and JT moving all his mods to ROOTZWIKI.

Some Devs are continuing to contribute and post their work on XDA; however, a lot are fed up with XDA for lots of reasons and have left. Many are posting at rootzwiki now. Some exclusively.

yeah I think some of the devs are getting fed up with the way the site is run, moderated, or just general dislike of the sometimes rude people here... Rootzwiki is not bad, almost exactly like XDA in the way it looks and operates... I signed up over there and check both forums as it seems you are right and little by little more is only being posted over there
interesting. will have to sign up for an account there too.
thanks, OP.
Edit:
btw, what are some things about XDA that's upsetting Dev's?
There is way more activity here though. People tell it like is here and some may construe that as rude.
Typed with my thumbs via XDA premium app
I just downloaded the app. I find it much harder to navigate than XDA's.
EDIT: Not much activity. May be a great way to escape the influx of noobs. But my Android soul belongs to XDA.

That's not how Google works -- you can't pay them to rank higher (or even rank at all) in search results. XDA may pay for sponsored links (AdWords) next to the search results, but I'm not even sure they do that as in countless ROM-related searches I've never seen an XDA ad.

I'll create a (not so short) list of reasons why people are leaving
New people asking questions that have been asked 500 times
People not reading threads for known issues/problems/etc.
People not searching before asking/posting
Rude people (not just "telling it how it is" either)
Know it all types that really know nothing
People not following
Lack of moderation
Unfair moderation
Inconsistent moderation with regards to rules
Sense of entitlement among users (goes back to rude people)
I'm sure there are other reasons as well. As for XDA paying for Google rankings, they may not directly, but indirectly, pages that get traffic get higher rankings in search results. And also, a site's age/reputation factors into it as well.
RootzWiki is new, and with most forums I've been to for phones, people will wait to see what the better forum is, then go there. With most devices being released already before RootzWiki started, communities have already developed elsewhere. As new phones come out, where people are posting could quite easily change. And so far, RootzWiki has a much more consistent moderation approach, as well as developer friendly environment.

I'm still using one of your early non-voodoo pbj kernels (along with your modified cwm). Stock EE4. Even at that time, the instruction & comment thread was quite large, with lots of feedback, problems, advice, & fixes. I know you devs are really good at updating the first post of the thread, but the following sentence still applies, especially for newbies.
It is therefore important to read entire threads!
Of course, this is where the problems start for the new folks (re impatient). Then come questions on clarifications. True, I've seen you answer the same question many times.
I can't relate to the "entitlement mentality" of some users.
I read a lot of yours (& kejar's) writings. Truly enjoy it.
I follow the forums with the most traffic. More traffic = more knowledge for me. (selfish bast. . .)
Sorry your experience here is turning sour. I'll not contribute to the apples.
Thanks for all of your hard work, devotion, & yes, patience.
Chris
personally i post everything i do on both xda and rootz
in the beginning i wasnt entirely in support of yet another forum. but they do a lot over there and as new phones come out (especially verizon ones) id imagine the communities will be larger and larger there versus xda
having said that, im surprised xda hasnt shut down this thread yet because apparently speaking of other forums isnt allowed
whereas rootz will let you post xda links and discuss whatever u want (even to their own detriment) regardless
I will add a few reasons that are not mentioned already
1... At Rootz, the site owners are appreciable and friends with many of the devs... They are also strong supporters of developers
2... The allow subforums.. this is important as once you get a subforum, you as the dev/owner of that subform can moderate yourself....
I remember back in the windows mobile Touch Pro 2 days PPCGeeks was the place to be for Sprint/Verizon Roms, so it's definitely possible for development communities to shift to a different website. If enough big developers used Rootzwiki exclusively, I think everyone would follow them. People go wherever the developers go. Rootzwiki giving out free phones to developers is also pretty cool...

[Q] Stable GB Rom

Hello there, I'm a newbie on the Infuse 4g's matters... I'll be glad if you help me a little bit.
1. Which's the most stable GB rom? Is it safe for the daily use?
2. Regarding the rom installation, in the program Odin, I just have to put the md5 file on the PDA place?
3. The best custom rom?
Thanks in advance!

I know there has been leaked stock GB roms and custom roms since last year, but a final and stable GB rom has not been officially released yet. Am I wrong? (I might be D: )

One more poke.
Nearly all the GB ROMs here are pretty stable. People say they are happy on Zeus latest, but trust me, I am still on Zeus beta build, and it rock stable with no issues right from day 1.
And then there was 1 (one) official GB release that had to be pulled back due to many issues.
So the hard truth is that the devs here work with passion, and not for salary. So it is both logical, and the truth, that there are better ROMs here. Plus, lots of choices too based on what esthetics you like.

I do agree to both.
I was a noob when I had my Captivate and was here the first time.
But, you know, searching helps. Its kinda ironic when people don't even bother to read the titles of stickies in the forums, and blindly create a new thread.
In fact, when you are done typing the title, the page auto shows related threads. Even a glance there would help avoid majority of new threads being created of late.
A little patience, little search, some more little patience, and boom, you have your customized phone with hardly a word out of your mouth.

No mate. I didn't have any kind of opinion towards you when I wrote that post. I only replied in that. I don't see anywhere where I even hinted you were being noobish
And secondly, I merely mentioned the difference cos many devs got ticked off and left this forum towards with more patient users. I have been on a few different phone forums here, and I have seen devs on here leaving.

Yes and no. If you're a noob, as we all have been at one point. The first thing that you have to do after joining is watch a little video we are all familiar with. "Use the search button", do your homework, investigate extensively, exhaust every possibility, try a few Rom and kernel combos, before you start asking the same dumb question that has been answered countless times before, in countless different parts of the forums.
Just wished people knew how to search a forum or to Google some more, that is it.

There isn't a fully functioning Jelly Bean ROM yet, but the CM10 ROMs have all the essential stuff working (phone, data, wi-fi, GPS, etc). So try out any one of the CM10 based ROMs. I'm currently on R-M-S CM10, it's feels really stable and optimized.

Weak. This is the first time I've ever been edited out in any thread here on XDA.
I guess the management here didn't want everyone to know what the privileged few really think about the rest of us.
@ OP, just flash away until you find one you like. And don't ever ask for any "best" anything around here. It's really subjective and people around here snap at such questions.

Jelly Bean roms are quite stable. I tested Pyromod's version and I did like it much, today I will test the CM10 build with the dragon kernel.
BTW, am I the only person who experiences strange stutter or maybe I should say, bad touchscreen reponsiveness on JB roms? Animations are fine in general no lag at all, but the phone doesnt register touches properly, and I need to focus a lot more the get around in menus compared to VenomS. I always clean install, so format and wipe everything.

AOKP
I have flashed both the Bruce2728 CM10 Rom and the frankinstine AOKP rom and would have to say the the AOKP is the better of the two. The CM10 ROM has too many issues with wakelock and terrible battery life. The AOKP rom has corrected the Data issues and I am currently getting amazing battery life, going twice as long as I was on the CM10.

And im not making any clutter here he might go ahead and open 40 thread of stupid questions like these thats why i told him to use the search tool now i think you should keep your mouth shut and btw you had a question aswell if you use the search tool you'd already find an answer to your question smarty

Haha I hope the OP isn't using the app, as the search function is shot atm.
Anyway, people have to start somewhere, they might be new to all this. New to forums in general. You can't expect them to know the rules and etiquette of a particular forum right from the word go.
Why not use all that worldly knowledge to direct them to the right delivery of their queries. Instead of being downright rude, and discouraging them from continuing with a thread, and possibly going out and starting another clean one?
Don't get me wrong, it clutters up the boards alright, but I'm not going to flame someone for that reason. Like I said, keep it friendly, and use that same energy you use to rudely come down on them, to direct them on the right path. Essentially, or more so, probably, stopping them from starting another thread!
@OP. Like some have already stated, it really is subjective mate, and comes down to personal choice. Only you will know what's best for you. Once you've mastered the art of ROM Fu, it's great fun flashing new ROMS, making Nandroids, jumping between them, testing them out, modifying them to your liking, and finding what sits right with you.

Getting a forum for a new device.

Ok so as some of you may know development for the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G is taking off somewhat and yet XDA is ignoring our requests for a forum in favor of devices that aren't out yet and devices that nobody much has heard of... I am posting this to ask anyone who remembers how long it took the Doubleshot to get its own forum as well as to ask my former community to help US out. (In other words... could y'all hit up the new forum request page and thank our posts/ bump the relay lol? (If this is against xda rules I apologize) or if anyone knows someone who can expedite this situation we'd all appreciate it.
Btw update - anyone wants my DS pm me, flex cable is failed and currently I have disassembled it while grounded and yes I'm tech savvy enough to not fry components. Idk how much to ask but make an offer lol.

Maybe XDA has a personal issue with phones with QWERTY keyboards.
We encountered this issue on my previous qwerty device also and believe me we almost got top 2 on the voting thread for new devices yet till now it still don't have any forum of its own. I already asked and the reason why it didn't get its own forum was not because of the lack of the community but instead the lack of real developers to support the device. To quote what the mod I talked to he said that
"XDA-developers" is a forum made for developers. Having even a thousand active members on a specific device but only have a handful of developers won't make it eligible for its own dedicated forum. As much as we'd like to provide every device it's own forum we also consider the cluttering of the forum itself so we are just narrowing down the devices on which we could get more active development than a forum full of average user questions.
Guys try www.sdx-developers.com its a Samsung hacking site

That's the only thing we can do. I've contacted quite a few mods, and they all told me the same thing. Post in the forum. Sorry, I tried but there's nothing else i can do to expedite the process. it seems that they will only open the forum when they see fit.
@strapped, no offense, but that site seems kinda dead. Just like rootzwiki. Xda will create a thread for you guys eventually. I don't see the point in fragmenting the device across two sites. Keep at it

The scotsman messaged me back in response to a question I asked and his reply was that the decision is made by forum owners and admins over his head based on development potential of the device.
Now that, my friends, seems to be a bit of a debatable point doesn't it lol?
That being said - does anyone remember how long it took the DS to get a dedicated forum?

Now that XDA isn't accommodating, creating a dev section for the device there might just be what that site needs to bring it back to life

Well either quit *****ing about xda not making y'all a thread or try to go to sdx. A lot of guys I have dealt with are from sdx. But lemme guess its a popularity contest? Y'all are a trip wanting more then what's needed, and that's just a place to call home, I'm so glad I decided not to get that device as I see most of this community will be.

1. I'm not *****ing. I don't even have this device
2. It is a popularity contest. Xda has way more devs and exposure than the site you mentioned. Do I want more than what's needed? Of course. Who wouldn't?
3. Everyone buys a device for X reason. Avoiding a device because of the users is your choice. No one cares if you don't get this device
4. You mad bro?
Honestly I thought we were friends, but I guess not... last person I expected to come out like this was you. Unless my English went bad overnight, someone tell me I'm reading this wrong

1. If not *****ing then why not go somewhere that could potentially give a home for that device....on a Samsung hacking site.
2. Popularity? Really, being popular has nothing at all to do with development. The best dev in the world could have this device and with no home, no one would ever know. So wouldn't you rather risk it? I personally post on themikmik sdx and xda.....why more advertisement
4. Is just a personal choice because of what I see in these threads.( device and slider related in general)
5. Mad nah not me, I'm getting the N4 as soon as I save my allowance ( joking )
You got my first morning post and yes I'm tired of sdx getting played. I learned so much from them guys and a few of them brought straight cm code into Sense for a first ever seen mod that everyone uses now. So I don't agree with xda being the holy grail of hackers and only thou can come here for their needs. Xda has really stopped caring for the average user and ONLY CARE ABOUT AD REVENUE and having the devices they feel will get them the most.
So I do wanna say "I'm sorry gtmaster303". Never meant to sound like the shot was at you when it was meant for xda. They need to see and realize their not the only place to come for hacks anymore, so stop treating us like kids and only giving us what XDA wants. If they were really for the user that thread would have been made as soon as something development related could have been posted

Thanks. Although I don't agree with you completely, it's good to know you didn't go rogue on me all of a sudden. If xda wants ad revenue, they would be creating ads for every device out. Although I don't understand why they won't readily create a forum for a device that clearly needs it. I don't agree with their logic. If there's even one dev for a device, a forum should be made. That's like saying "we'll only host the most popular of devices." By that token, popularity should not ensue. And under that jurisdiction, technically the Doubleshot shouldn't exist here either. Our community is quite small, even for a dev community. Most of the daily page hits xda gets from us are the same couple dozen people, some of which login multiple times per day (because they have no life, myself included )
But popularity of the site is still necessary. not that many people know about sdx. When they look for a new phone to buy (devs and modders alike) most will come to xda and poke around to see if the activity is up to their liking. If not, they'll probably search for a new device. Main reason why I haven't switched over to a Captivate Glide or a Droid 4...

I must be weird then as I bought my device because
1. It was the closest thing to a G3 on the market and
2. I was (and still am) angry with and done with HTC after the lack of ICS on the doubleshot.
Oh and 3. My DS died;(
Nonetheless if we decide to move to that other site I'll have to get an android app for it lol.
I'm growing disgruntled with XDA lately but its kinda like a drug for me... and strapped... this device stock is just about equivalent to my ds when it died with regards to ease of use and overall response. I DO miss a trackpad and the home button lags just a bit... but that could be me having an aftermarket launcher with touchwiz frozen but not uninstalled.

Flat out fastest rom out there?

I know this is kind of vague and broad, but I wanted to get your opinions on what the fastest roms are that are out there for the Verizon version of the Galaxy SIII.
I just got mine in the mail today and will be ready to root and get goin in a couple hours after the battery charges. I am coming from the Thunderbolt, may it rest in peace, and MY GOD the lag drove me crazy, so I want the quickest LEAST laggy rom for the SIII !
You've been here since 2011, you should know the difference between Q&A and Development.
this isn't development, shouldn't go here
as far as your question goes, i feel aerovans 4.2.1 is plenty fast enough....others you can tweak and screw with all you want if you have a kernel that supports OC'ing your device......only way to tell what is the fastest in your opinion is to flash each one and test it out...simple as that
edit: damnit was ninja'd of my chance to say that for the first time lol

Clearly it ain't that serious...y somebody always gotta be an asshole? He just asked a question...get a life in the real world and quit patrolling the xda forums dumb azz ... and for me the fastest is either jelly "beans" build 6 or executioner 2....ur winnin with either one of those dude

Uh oh.. a wrong section violation. OP, hope you have a good lawyer..that's a crime punishable by death around here.
To answer the question though, people's mileage varies with ROMs. Its all in what you load with them(apps, etc.). The fastest are the AOSP ones, if you don't mind losing the bells and whistles, and putting up with the inherent bugs. Other than that, the more stripped the Touchwiz rom is, the faster it generally should be. Look around, see what one has the minimum of what you want, and give it a shot. Unlock your bootloader. Try an overclock kernel. See how it goes
lol, unless its a thread about a ROM you created, it shouldn't go in development or original development threads
if its a specific question relating to a certain ROM, ask it in that ROMs forum but beware to be flamed for not using the search function
if its a question about a theme or app and theres not a thread started in the themes & apps forum, then a question could possibly be asked in there if its relating to that only
all other questions and inquiries should be posted in the Q&A forum.......at least thats the logic i use when posting on the forums lol
It should be in q and a

This rom has been CRAZY fast on my s3. I tried Paranoid Android and Synergy too. The battery life is also insane, I got 26 hours yesterday (few hours on airplane for overnight).
While everyone is fluffing up their post counts by restating the SAME obvious information over and over for community brownie points, just thought I'd duck in and mention that the sky is generally blue, unless there are clouds in which case it may appear a color between white and dark grey.
In all seriousness though a mod will see that the thread is in the wrong section and move it accordingly.That is their job.Why 267754 people have to let that person know it's in the wrong section is beyond me.

Who cares where this question is posted. Honestly its better its posted here cause the dev threads are where everyone roams I never check q&a. So of it wasn't posted here the question would probably never be answered, so ask away op. My choice of ROM however is pures rls 10 plus has a nice theme included in the aroma installer.
Plus I thought this was a community of helping not making people feel like an idiot.

Look the problem is if questions are posted in development then it will start to be hard keeping up with development because it will be cluttered by questions. That is why there are seperate sections.
As for them not being answered... Have you looked lately? There are many senior members who spend there time just cruising there to answer questions. Droid style, con, sdy(can't remember the rest now) to name a few. I personally spend most my time in q and a helping out with the little knowledge I have.
To the OP it depends what you mean by fast. If you mean benchmarks then stick with with tw, I prefer beans with lean kernel WAY overclocked. If real world I say AOSP based, they're light and lag free. My personnel favorite is Eclipse

I've always had really good luck with AOSP ROMS in the past on other devices as far as speed goes. Since getting my gs3 I've only tried a couple of TWIZ Roms so far and I'm really pleased with MLJBM with Lean Kernel. Its super fast and buttery smooth and battery is decent as well. With that said I've noticed in the past with previous devices that some Roms respond better on one device and not so much on another. Youre probably best off taking the advice that was mentioned earlier and try a few different ones out for yourself til you find what youre looking for
