[Q] Which ROM to install on my wifes Infuse (NEED SOME HELP)

This is my first post on your site and I have to say what a site it is...this has to be one of the best D:
I’m looking to install a good ROM on my wife’s infuse and have found so many fantastic looking ones on XDA but unsure which one is the best ( I know its hard to say who’s is better than who's but could you guys/girls give me some recommendations? one that will at least help battery life and more flexibility on the phone I was thinking about [UNOFFICIAL] Compiled CM 7 for Infuse 4G [2.3.7] any suggestions / recommendations I would appreciate it. Thanks

try a few see what works best

I could do that but figured I could do a one shot and be done lol

I haven't personally tried it out since my phone's just now starting to get back from repair, but I hear dman's ZEUS is a fantastic ROM.

He heard about it.
I am using it.
Flash ZEUS on to your wife's phone, and then sit back and relax.

For your Wife's phone? I'd recommend ZEUS...it's no hassle and once you get it running it should require minimum support.
CM7 is also very nice and has most of the AT&T bloatware removed.
I have had excellent battery life on both.

Thanks lads.. I will go with the ZEUS and see how that works out.

Zeus is a very good choice love it. But I've got a new spit in my heart for super cm7
support your local repo man and miss a payment.

I ran it too jmatt ...its just a themed version of cm7....

OK lads why can't I find the ZUES ROM anywhere? I found the CM7 can't seem to find the ZUES ROM though (Im such a newb)

Omg...really...its like the first thread!

Me, I'm a MitRa fan. Flash the 4.7 version but only use the download link from the Infuse Dev forum. Then flash the BluePro theme for it.

Like OMG yes....If I wasnt sure would I have asked?
Thanks for the info lads,,think she is liking Rita...stuck a few other ROMS on there so she can play around,,I like the CM7 to be honest...(And no i did not need your smart reply to find it)

We have rom called Rita? Hmm, I don't recall that one.

Yea...lost on that one....a noob....but he apparently knows more than me...so there you go

I'm using the new venom ROM. I've tried buoyancy, nexusmod, and super stock. I like venom so far. I'll probably switch before to long. That's the beauty of Android - lots to choose from.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

personal preference my friend. Try a couple out and see which one you like
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Agreed, you have to try some out and pick your favorite. If you ask 20 people on this section by PM randomly I bet you'd get at least 5-6 different answers.
SkyICS + Venom depending on your personal taste get my vote right now for multiple reasons, but the biggest being support and production. A vast majority of the roms that have come out for this phone have never/rarely been updated (no offense intended, people have lives, things happen, you get new phones, etc...).

Often, the stock ROM is the best since at least all the phone's capabilities are accounted for. More often, a rooted stock ROM is better since you can freeze bloatware, get around tethering restrictions and the like. Beyond that, it's kind of up to you to do your homework to make sure that a particular ROM does everything you need it to do (Bluetooth streaming, both cameras work, etc) and that you like the layout.

On a side note......
Q: What's the best way not to spam the board?
A: You don't post the same question in multiple sections.
Please don't do it again. Thank you.

Running venom right now and very pleased.

If you enjoy a nice, clean, look, I'd check out NeXuSMOD 2.0. It does everything I need it to do, and it's very easy on the eyes. Solid battery life as well.

I've been enjoying Ice Cream Sandwich - Multiple Flavors. While I'm tempted to try some of the other ROMs out there, this one is really great.
It's the overclocked version, I scored a AnTuTu benchmark of 7284.

Does anybody when and or when I can drop Android 4.0.x on my baby?

Well to be honest there are tons of threads that can answer your question. The answer that i know is Sammy said they will release 4.0 for all galaxy variants in first quarter of this year and they said this back in December and have not heard any fixed time period since than.

Zeus 5.2 + aries

I have never before used a Custom Rom. I've never used a theme. Until I decided to give Dman's Zeus and ARIES a try. I was scared of bricking my phone but I guess I was feeling adventurous and tried it and it worked out perfectly. I'm so grateful for XDA and people like Dman who provide completely free Custom Rom's like these. I'm so satisfied. So satisfied by his work that not only did I decide to officially make an account on XDA to post this, but I did an entire video Review on it.
Is the youtube link for the video review. I apologize for the poor camera quality and that I couldn't cover anything but THANK YOU XDA community, thank you XDA, thank you Dman, and thank you to all you genius developers who provide us with free custom roms and easy instructions to install them.
EDIT: Ok so apparently I cannot post the video since this is my first post but if you go to Youtube and type in xtonedeffx in the search bar then you will find it, its my only video.
I understand this video would be a LOT more useful to people on the developer page so they can preview it but I also can't post there because I'm new. Either way, I really wanted to show my gratitude and satisfaction.

Lol thank you. and yeah hopefully once I get to 10 I can be a lot more productive. I've been spreading the word about XDA to all my classmates though this website is freakin amazing

I am loving this rom as well... trying to find more themes and different launchers for it right now.
Any advice would be welcome

There are no more themes until myself or experiment releases them
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

I tried ZEUS. It's a pretty solid ROM.

The two themes are great already so I never even questioned looking for a third one to be honest. But yeah ^^^what he said.

It is a great rom. I hated my phone until I put Zeus on it. Zeus is much quicker than stock. I also don't have any of the lockups or lags I used to have with stock.

Thats the first thing indeed I noticed. How much faster it is, I knew you could get these new OS's Like GB but I didn't know it would be THAT much faster. Plus I find out a whole bunch of new things about my phone all the time lol, so its like WTFF SERIOUSLY I CAN DO THAT? they need to start selling these Infuses with a rom like ZEUS pre-installed. We would have more owners than the captivate.

Not just more owners than the captivate...but more owners than 99% of all other phones on the market!
Zeus 5.2 is the most solid, stable, fastest and battery saving rom ive ever flashed! (ive flashed bionix, darkyrom, numas, caty, previous zeuzs, i think im forgetting one...all previous have been great and devs did good but zeus definatly my favorite!)

I have a few different theme's for Zeus, make sure you use the ones marked Zeus 5.2 if you're on the most current.
For now they can be found on my thread, soon I will have them all moved over to the Zeus main thread, but until then...
Link To My Lab
May I recommend Color Killer, I'm quite pleased with that one, grab the ICS blue add-on and your infuse will be lookin real good
or of course if you're on a PC my direct links to them are right below
in my signature.

Lol just making sure cause I kept seeing ICS on infuse then it always said MIUI. I guess its just a theme.
And yeah zeus = gingerbread on steroids.
EDIT: Damn Experiment those are some nice skins. If i'm using Aries would I just flash over a new skin and thats it?

RE: Best ROM
True enough, they are all great! but for a noob who flashed all the roms the least buggiest so far is SKY ICS--- 4.2D-10 for me anyways.
Again there are different flavors to choose from and it also depends on what you use on your phone. Some bugs may show up days later.

All these guys are right cause there really is no right or wrong answer to your question. When it comes to custom roms its all about personal preference. What someone else really loves you may find out you don't like. So my advice is become a flashaholic like most of us here are and start flashing until you find that perfect custom rom that fits your needs and wants. Just remember to make a backup of your current rom before you start flashing anything that way you can always go back to what you have now. Oh and just so you will know design gears is about to release a new ics leak for the skyrocket soon according to his twitter account so you may want to wait and see what that is all about and the I'm sure plenty of custom roms will be based off of it soon as well... happy flashing...

It would probably be better to be more specific. A better question would be "which are roms are the most stable" or "which roms are the fastest" or maybe "Which rom has the most features?"
I personally am also trying to decide which rom to go with. I have a friend who owns a Skyrocket and he wants me to root the phone then flash a custom rom, so I'm looking into this. I think I'll probably flash Nexus Mod just because it looks like AOSP. Like many others, it has carrier IQ disabled and has been debloated.

Sent from my I727

+1 to sky ics for stability (iv flashed the aosp apps patch) it was giving me fc's on other roms but none on this one
nexusmod ics was good but the rom seems to start facing issues after a week of use (might be user error but others were also experiencing this) and also the rom has no further development as MOD has been bricked and has also moved to cm9.
AOKP - great rom that has just surfaced with some solid devs at work still has a few minor issues but this one will become a gem
cm9 - same as above, great dev support but it still has a few minor kinks to be worked out

The above post is right especially about cm and aokp
CM9 Skyrocket

The newish Slim ICS ROM is pretty good too. Gives you some AOSP apps and seems pretty stable and super snappy for me so far. But as others have said, just look at some of the ones with higher traffic and more recent posts and see what you like. Embryo is a nice one i you want a more stock exoerience. Dev is super responsive too. With the new leak and impending (hopefully) official release, they'll all be rebased anyway. TiBu Pro and nandroid are your friends.

These are the same kind of questions as the "Whats your favorite case?" or... "Whos your favorite carrier?"... those don't get closed so I don't see why these have to be closed? Some people don't have time to flash multiple ROM's, and to be honest you can't really decide if it's right for you in one day... These kind of threads help narrow down the right ROM for you, chances are if other people like it, you will too.... just look at how many people use CyanogenMod.
But anyways back on topic, I would suggest using Cyanogenmod. Overall it is the fastest ROM I have found. Most people like fast, so if that's your thing go with Cyanogenmod. They are currently working on 4.3 Android, they have a version out already but SMS/MSM isn't working so I suggest to wait it out until they fix the bugs.
Viper ROM is great for customizations, however it won't be as fast as Cyanogenmod, at least in my experience it won't..
That's all I've got, I've narrowed it down to 2 ROM's for you. However if you feel daring and want to try out some more ROM's I suggest you look at the post counts of the ROM's thread and usually if they have more people posting in it it usually means it's a better ROM and has an active developer fixing all the bugs and what not.
Thanks and enjoy!

Okay, let's do some thinking here.
Hypothetically, if ALMOST everyone were to suggest the same ROM, what benefit would that bring for the other devs working on the ROM they're providing? What would happen if we all said leave your phone stock? Would you? It works, it's reliable, there are no bugs, and no problems for you to complain about.
So let's all try to play along with that idea for just a bit.
Leave your phone stock. Unrooted. Why? No problems or bugs for anyone because it's stable. :good:

It means their likings aren't the same as the majority of other people, or they need to work harder to make their ROM better.

It's considered to be very disrespectful to devs to say one ROM is better than another. And really, no ROM is better than another ROM. ROMs suit different people for different reasons, therefore nobody can definitively say ROM a is better than ROM b. Just flash a few and find out for yourself, it's REALLY simple.

Those don't get closed because its completely different. Products like cases/phones and carrier services are paid for. So I can easily see why these are allowed. Voice your opinion on what you paid for, and furthermore, att doesn't care what we say here. They get their money, they aren't discouraged if I say I hate their service.
Roms are different. A developer doesn't sit down and say "let me earn a pay check by building a new ROM". In fact, they do it in spare time, after their real job/friends and family. To say someone's volunteer work is bad and that you don't like it, and that a certain ROM is better is preposterous. Saying things like "well A is good for X, but I like to do Y, so I chose B" is a perfectly logical statement. Everything regarding a ROM is opinion based. They are all rock solid and do different things. What you choose depends on what you need the ROM to do for you.
To say a ROM is the best (is what these threads turn into) is plain stupid. Everyone has their own opinion, and should share it within reason.
So these Devs that do this in their free time certainly don't want to hear why a ROM is better than theirs, especially since nobody has an obligation to do this for us.
That's why these threads get closed.

To be fair it's in the rules which I'm sure you read before posting right? And since your question doesn't take the dev's feelings into account when they do all this work for free, it could be said that your question makes you a ****ing ****
I have a personal preference for AOSP myself.

Actually.. I asked what wad your favorite Rom. I didn't ask what's your least favorite Rom. Therefore if a dev sees that his Rom is listed as somones favorite he would be happy not sad.
