[Q] Best Samsung based rom now - Samsung Infuse 4G

Hey all ive been running miui for the past 4-5 months now so kinda fell out the loop with the sammy based development. I see theirs a bunch of recent ones now. Which are the most stable ones now with working GPS and bluetooth. I remember one had a issue with "sleeping" that required a reboot. Any suggestions?
Miui Infuse

Oh god here we go.

[Q] Best Nexus S Rom?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if I could get some advice. I had the Nexus One and had Cyanogen running on it, which I loved. I got the nexus S at christmas and love it... the random reboots did annoy me until 2.3.3 came out. Recently I rooted the phone and flashed modaco custom ROM based on 2.3.3 with the KB3 radio and GRI 54 base.
I was wondering if your guys opinions, what is the best ROM to flash, that is stable, with not random boots etc. but an improvment on what I have?
Thanks!!
They're all great. Try them all and see which you like the best.
Personally, I like CM 7 because of the T-Mobile theme engine that allows me to change the appearance of the ROM with the touch of a button. No more constant flashing of themes for me!
CM, only CM)
I was a CM7 fanboy untill i tried MIUI
MIUI without a seconds doubt...

I've tried a lot and although they all have their advantages I always come back to CM. It generally picks up all the great little mods that the community develop not to mention all its own great features.
Bear in mind that it is still not technically stable yet though R2 has been pretty good for me with only a couple of reboots since installing on the day it was released. Once we get the full stable CM7 it will be a tough one to beat
Cyanogen Mod 7 only.

I will elaborate. I've run every ROM available since January (when I got my NS). I've tried almost every release of those ROMs as well and I can honestly say that they are all awesome for different reasons. I try really hard not to be biased to one ROM or one developer because it tends to cloud your ability to try different things with an open mind. Right now I have NANDroid backups of CM7rc2, MIUI, Axura, NSCollab, Stock 2.3.3, Stock 2.3.3 Deodexed, and Honeycomb.
I'm always sad to see these thread because I think its asking the wrong question altogether. What these threads should ask is "What is your daily driver?" because "best" is so subjective to uses and personal preference. What some love about CM7 is also what many other hate. The iOS look of MIUI is both on of its most loved and hated qualities. Whatever tweaks a particular dev or team of devs seems fit to include may be exactly what a person wants or what a person doesn't want.
Now, I've said my diatribe and I'll answer the other question: "What is your daily driver?"
I have two. Some days I run CM7rc2, some days I run Axura. Once the white background issue is cleared up in MIUI, I'll add that to the rotation as well.
Cm7. Other roms are good for if you're bored and want to flash something new. Pretty sure everyone ends up on cm7 for stability and features better than stock.
Axura is my everyday driver. Its fast and its been the most stable for me.

I must agree entirely. I tried CM7 for awhile but it wasn't stable enough for me. I've never had a ROM as stable and fast and clean looking as Axura! I'd recommended at least giving a few of them a try though. The stickied thread by Kenvan is a wonderful resource!
Wrong forum to post this.

Best ROM

Hello everyone, Im a noob here and with this new hobby. Im not a noob to the whole aspect tho, I did alot with DTV and DN then FTA so I have some knowoledge. I just rooted and installed S7 rom, then like a noob locked it out but figured out how to fix. So my question being a noob is what does everyone consider the best ROM for the infuse and why? And youre opionion on best apps to install once freed up? Glad to meet everyone here and thanks for all the reading I have done over last 3 days, it saved me and my phone LOL.
The new bionix is a infuse based rom but the ports coming in are awesome as well try the new darky rom!!

thanks everyone, I probally will try them all after everyones feedback, like i said im new and running S7 and hate resetting my gmail and reloading all my apps after re-installation. This way i can read and investigate all roms peeps suggest before I make the leap. S7 is ok i guess but was expecting so much more, right now got my eye on Bionix, but all your inputs helps a noob like me out greatly. Thanks
im running the new bionix i like it so far
Cool can you tell us why what you think the advanages are?
I'm running Infused v2.2.3, it's a great rom that gives good battery life. Unforunately, the developer has stopped work on it (he's supposed to be coming back once AT&T GB releases). But it's a solid rom.
CM7 or Darky. Darky is likely the best i9000/Captivate/Vibrant ROM, if you really want an Infuse based ROM, the only one I've used is Infused and it's pretty good.
AT&T's lastest leak: KK2 with Entropy's kernel for root.
I've removed most of the bloatware and did my own theme with pieces from this theme and that theme.
I get 14-18 hours on a charge. WiFi, Bluetooth & Data all work and are fast.
Only problem is video being broke.
I'm enjoying the Infused 2.2.3 also. Very stable, and greta battery life.
MIUI is awesome some bugs semi broken bluetooth havent tried the darky or some of the other newer roms tried dlev was alright infused was ok. Would wait for ICS before flashing something new.
Miui is my favorite. Works better than anything I've tried.

I've tried a lot of the roms out right now, I kept going back to Infused from gtg465x because of it's stability (I like to know for sure that I'm getting my calls and messages) but currently I'm very pleased with the mosaic ROM. It's really a great balance of stability and style, with just enough customizable options to make it feel unique. Also my wife has an infuse and she is a big fan of the Doctorz ROM (they just released version 9 that apparently fixed some of the glitches that v8 had) but I am steadily turning her into a regular flasher...of roms. lol. Anyway shealso tried the black one and it was very flashy but had lots of Italian glitches, currently she's tuning the GingerReal2 and she loves it.
Bottom line is...a matter of preference. I like stability with a dash of flashy, some people prefer flashy and don't care if some stuff doesn't work...others don't care if there phone is as boring as a rotary from the 80's as long as they can count on it working properly.
Hope this helps and have fun flashing!

VictoryRom v1.7 working best for me. No issues of any kind. KK2 does NOT have broken video like previously mentioned. My videos and youtube work great. I flashed it over a fresh install of gtg's unbrick.
i am also trying to find the best rom, but they all seem to have small problems that aren't necessarily dealbreakers, but slightly annoying to deal with every single day. I have been running cm7 for a while, and it's awesome, but I want my bluetooth audio back. i might be wrong on this one, but I think all the captivate/i9000 ports are going to have that "first call" bug. I was looking through all the leaks, and they seem to have widespread weirdness, which is what i would expect from a leak. I guess what I'm looking for is the latest version of android I can get without these bugs. should i go back to stock?
infused 2.2.3 with E's daily driver.
A lot of roms are not based on the infuse, those will break your bluetooth; thats a deal breaker for me. I would like to try some of the others and I have heard some really great things about them, but need the bluetooth for my car.

KK2 builds should get your bt audio working. Anyone with bt audio in their car should avoid MIUI and CM7...they will never get the bt working on the Infuse.
Bluetooth works fine for me.

[Poll] What Are You Running?

Hello all,
Hopefully making a poll like this isn't against forum rules. I'm just trying to gauge what ROM's people are running on their Verizon Galaxy S IIIs.
Vote away, and if you pick 'Other,' please make a note of what it is you are running in a post.
Thanks for voting!

Edit: Just realized I forgot ParanoidAndroid hybrid JB ROM. I don't believe I can edit the poll in any way to add that option. Sorry about that. I would say throw that under Other (JB).

I had a hunch a lot of you would be running Synergy. Do most of you use a custom kernel, like Imoseyan's lean kernel? Or do you still use a stock kernel?
Thanks again for your responses.
Stock kernel for now

Those of you that voted 'Other (ICS)' or 'Other (JB)' could you tell us what ROM you are using? I'm interested to here about all the options available.
I think the most interesting part will be coming back to this thread in a few months and seeing how out of date it will be. There will likely be all sorts of new ROMs, or a lot more stability on JB ROMs.
Thanks again for your responses.
Runnin Droid Hacker's CM10 port and it runs beautifully. Invisiblek's CM10 and custom kernels are also good for this phone.

"Other JB" ParanoidAndroid here.
I'm still on Synergy 1.3. I just went down into town today (I live in the sticks) and **** me if they don't have 4g there now! Awesome. Except the god damn phone kept dropping back to 3g. Seemed to do it every time the screen turned off. I took the opportunity, using 4g to download the latest Beans and Synergy ROMs but, that ****ing 4g drop had me pretty pissed off and I don't think I'll bother doing it. Revert the phone back to stock and send it on its way.

Get rolling fast with a new phone? Yes.
Since I don't have time to monkey with stuff, I jump on whatever bandwagon has the most use and support (thanks to all the people who DO have time to monkey with stuff). Accordingly, I got my subsidized upgrade from VZW yesterday in the form of an S3.
I'd been running an OG Incredible on CM7. Zero problems, worked when I needed it.
I got home, rooted using this fast, simple method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342
Loaded up CWM Rom Manager and flashed Synergy v1.6 before doing anything to the phone other than having it activated by the gal at the VZW store.
Have all my apps installed and Ti backed up. Have my IMAP email running. No issues and the battery was great today. Now to start using it.
Likely I'll go back to CM once official and stable, but this seems a good stopgap.
Synergy 1.6

First of all glad to be back.
With a new phone was at

and lack of updates from the
big red. So I feel sort of a trader
leaving HTC to Samsung. I want
to say Samsung rocks!
Very happy with the S3 and running on
synergy 1.7 had run the IMO v0 beta
worked gr8.
Only cons for me on IMO's kernel
when the phone is off and would charge via wall charger it would vibrate every few seconds and never charge more than 80% range. If I left the phone on and charged via wall would not do this
When you restart the phone from cold start will go through a series of 3 reboots before coming to the main screen sometimes it would end up in the recovery menu, I also wiped cache, dalvik three times before flashing.
Love IMO's kernels they rock but the mult reboots for me has kept me
on the stock with SynergysROM 1.7

Just activated my Captivate

We switched to Verizon a few years ago and I got a Fascinate (That was running MIUI). Wife and I left because they got rid of unlimited data, I had this Captivate in a box that I just broke out a few days ago and we went to Straight Talk. However it is running Eclair. I would like to root it and possibly put Gingerbread or a stable rom. I've been browsing the forum looking for an easy way to root and find a stock Gingerbread Rom, or something that is really stable as I could use it as a daily driver. IS the CM9 Rom pretty stable?

CM9 is rock solid, I use CM10 without any issues as well. My preference goes to CM10. I would suggest taking a look at the sticky'ed topics, they are a great resource for guides and how to's!
For example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
I will take a look at that then.
I've enjoyed running the Cappy port of Paranoid Android JB, which is based on CM10.
Third response and third suggestion for a rom but I also have to give props to SlimBean. Just installed SlimBean 2.2 and so far it's beautiful. I definitely suggest reading the install process thoroughly because if you aren't used to flashing a lot of roms some things can happen during this flash that might freak you out. Besides that and a couple little feature additions (by that I mean toggle buttons I would like to see) it's beautiful and is the first version of Jelly Bean that I've been able to pull of any sort of overclocking without getting immediate reboots.
I ran the 2.2 release for many days until I got tired of not having Google Now, the trick I found in it is to long press the menu button, but I couldn't find a way to remap the search key in hardware keys. So now I'm back on 2.1 until they put out a patch to fix the search key. I'm watching that site and the related posts here like a hawk.

[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.
ICS and jb both have camera recording problems... so jwep that in mind, jb has a slow but working GPS

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
