Because we don't have a leak of Jellybean yet?

There are a few of us still using Ginger Bread, but most have moved on.

because almost all of do this just to have tge most bleeding edge of software. and ICS, is well...you know

like it or not ICS is a really good upgrade over GB, I personally don't care much for the colors they decided to use, but it works really well. it took me a long time to accept it
you can still find the GB roms though, maybe not so many still in development but I imagine it's pretty hard to make GB much better than what we have already.

I agree. I found it hard to let go of GB because I was on it for so long, but ICS is just so much better IMO in just about every way.

ICS grows on you. I didn't want to move from GB at first either. I'd rather get used to ICS now than later though. It's what android will be like for quite a while.
There's new stuff everyday: HBO Go finally works on ICS, the Nova Launcher finally allows a vertical scrolling drawer, etc.

Because it would be a waste of time developing on anything else when ICS is the most current OS? Is there something I'm missing here?

I think OP question ia how come ns4g have rom based ics eventhough they not receive ota for ics..right?where is the code..
Sorry if im wrong..just ignore my post if im wrong..ahaha

[Q] Honeycomb ROM?

Is there going to be a Honeycomb ROM for the Inspire? Is anyone working on one right now or is somebody planning on making one? I'd love to know if and when one is going to be released.
You do know that Honeycomb is a tablet ROM, right? Why do you want it on your phone? The whole point of it is that phone ROMs aren't ideal on tablets, so why does everyone think that a tablet ROM will work great on their phone?

oh, I didn't know it was a tablet ROM...nevermind then. So is the best thing I can get Gingerbread? Also, what's the newest version of HTC Sense and do any ROMS have it?

Sense 2.1 and I believe CoreDroid runs it.
Sent from someplace using something to send it.
Any ROM utilizing Gingerbread can run Sense 2.1. Obviously the ROM has to be a Sense ROM though.
Honey comb has not been open sourced yet, and Google announced they will not open it possibly at all. So no ROMs till that happens.

Honeycomb is not strictly a tablet ROM, the majority of the changes that are in it are for tablets, but Google has stated that there will not be 2 different paths for Android (one for tablets and one for phone).
Wait for Ice Cream. It should be a mix of Gingerbread and Honeycomb.
Mmmm, Gingerbread Honeycomb Ice Cream sounds good.
My 2 favorite ROMs so far dilligafs and MIUI.... both Gingerbread. If you want Sense, get dilligafs; if you want something blazing fast but looks different, give MIUI a try.

You are correct sir, I believe I was thinking of LeeDroids ROM. Another great piece of work, IMHO.
Is there a master list somewhere that shows which ROMs are available? Navigating through the Developers section searching for ROMs is a real pain in the neck!
It would be awesome if there could be a list showing what version (gingerbread, etc), Sense or no-Sense, current version, last updated, etc...
Anyone know of something like this? The sticky in the dev forums is WAY out of date....

Once you know the language (2.2.1, 2.3.3, etc.) it's easier to navigate. In most cases all you need is in the title, just take a few seconds to read it.

ICS being ported to SGS I9000... Is there hope for the Infuse?

Hey my fellow Infuse owners!! Just got done reading the article about ICS being ported to the SGS I9000! Dose this mean the Infuse stands a better chance of geting a rom or port?

Just saw that a successful alpha of ICS has been ported to the SGS so I think we're getting closer and closer. Once a full working version is up and running on the SGS I really hope that one of our devs will port it!

No point in porting it. We can do it ourselves when we get the proper files (which require a system dump or source).

Honestly in all due respect, I tried contacting several people from Samsung and tried to get answers to all my question's from those bone heads. I think Samsung is dragging their feet on Gingerbread, this has nothing to do with At&t at all. At&t was ready to give us some sort of GB release back in August, seems to me Samsung keeps holding back because all their newer phones are getting the most respect right now and not our already 1 penny Infuse.

Exactly it. We are not going to get an official release from sammy, people should just get used to the fact cm7 and miui is the only chance for us and ics. Maybe someone can port it from the i9000 but that's just a maybe. CM7 lead the way lol.

Samsung is a complete joke. This is like a bad OS software. EX: Windows ME!, theirs nothing they can fix so they skipped it creating another phone next to this, Basically the only phone next to this would be the SkyRocket, Shares all aspects of our beloved Infuse, just upgraded hardware and better Support, plus they are getting ICS in the beginning of next year.

What ROM and Kernal should I flash?

What ROM and Kernal do you think i should flash?
I want a fast, stable rom... I think stock is pretty fast but i haven't installed any custom roms yet so i dont know how fast it can be...
But i also want a decent battery life... right now i get about 15 hours on stock but i do use my phone pretty heavily.
and please dont just tell me to flash them and find out which ones i like... i dont have time, and i need a stable phone.
*I heard TPC v3 with Da_G's kernal was good but a while ago i heard it had SOD problems? is that still a problem or can it be fixed?
**I'm also thinking undervolting would be good. can someone give me instructions on how to do that, and what frequencies to use to improve battey without a noticable speed difference
Flash them all. Pick the one YOU like the most. All have pros and cons.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
i flashed sky-ics and when i pull down on the notification bar nothing happens..
Personally I am on stockmod 2 with silver's kernel. But everybody had their own opinion. That'd why I said try them all. Use each fir a couple days then go with the one you like. Don't forget nandroid before you flash anything, just in case.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
if you dont have the time to flash multiple ROMs to see which one you like then you shouldnt be trying to mod your phone at all. flashing a different ROM successfully and restoring your previous settings with titanium backup is about the shortest amount of time you can spend modding. its the more than likely troubleshooting that comes with using non official software that takes up the bulk of the time. and no ROM is perfect and we dont know the balance of stability and speed your looking for, so we could all say a different ROM-kernal combo and you would be in the same situation of having to try a few out.
if you must know at this moment i am using skyics 7.4 with fauxs kernal but yesterday i was using alien rom with da_g s kernal which i flashed on saturday and before that i was switching off between quikwiz and buoyancy with a stockish kernal. i plan on using NexusMod 4 when it comes out for a little bit.
it all depends on my wants/needs from a ROM at that particular point in time.
Go with TPC, is faster than stock and just as stable. TPC was the ONLY Tom without sod issues, on any kernel, but I recommend faux's sky-kernel 009m and the fauxclock app to undervolt, waaaay better battery
I tried 4-5 ROM`s in last few weekis since I got Skyrocket. I am now on Sky-Ics 7.4fast ROM and it is the best one I used so far.
I've been on SKY-ICS for a couple of weeks also and have been fine it. But I agree you just need to install some ROMs and decide which you like best. I also liked the Coke ROM.
But these are all gingerbread, where is ice cream sandwich???
My wife has a Galaxy Captivate which has much better dev support and she's running ice cream sandwich. Ice cream sandwich is way better than gingerbread!!!
You should flash them all and find out which one you like best.
I didn't have time to read either...see how that works.
A. Making demands of other peoples time is not nice. Politely asking for something if you have put the time in reading and researching on your own but still cannot find an answer is a lot better.
B. Not reading is going to end you up BRICKED!
C. ROMS and Kernels act different for different people. I have issues with the current UCLA3 kernels, but others do not. This is not unusual with kerenls and ROMS on this phone.
D. Currently, I am using Alien 6 and the Kernel that Romracer included (non-UCLA3 update) and I like it alot. I havn't had a chance to test it 100% but so far so good. The kernel, however cannot be under / over clocked or volted.
So good luck, I have a feeling you are going to need it.

[Q] Instability of ICS Leak

I switched over to the ICS leak and I have been experiencing a lot of instability. Many different apps f/c all the time. The phone freezes everytime I open the dialer or some other apps. Sometimes I have to shut it down to bring it back. I was wondering if this is because of the ICS leak and are there any alternatives out there. Also what are the trade offs for those alternatives.
I used to be on rooted stock and my phone had the freezing problem but it was not as bad.
Essentially, what can I get to be rooted and functional with limited trade offs.
That's the nature of using a leaked rom. If you want stability, go back to GB. Easy peasy.
Tried all ics roms but sky 4.2D-10 and smooth ice 5.1.. wondering if either one of them have the speed and responsiveness gb has. I hate that i press the home button and it doesnt go instantly. Does anyone know if either one of these do ? or should i stay with GB too.
Just go to gb till official builds please I'm tired of you noobs this doesn't work why can't I have bln my lights don't work right. Its a leak a test software its not meant for actual use if you can't accept the issues stick to stock Jesus christ

I apologize for having offended you but that is not my expectation. To clarify my question. I am asking whether other users are experiencing this instability or if its device specific. I did mention that I had problems with the device before upgrade so I am also trying to determine if I have a hardware issue. I am also trying to expand my knowledge about the builds that are out there.

Yes, you're not the only one.
I'm back on GB also.
In my case, it was issues with a few apps working, but being slightly buggy. Just enough so, to be irritating.
Not quite ready for ICS, or vice-versa.
At least with UCALC4.
I never got a chance to try UCLD2, since it broke bluetooth for me.

I still consider myself a noob but have been having a great time on sky ice 4.2d10. I haven't been having any real issues that I wasn't able to fix. Very stable.
The key to being a highly functional noob is read the s*#t out of the posts for any rom you're interested in. Once you do that reread it 20 more times.

I think Sky 4.2 is the most popular. That's the one I'm on right now. I'm using the UCALC4 radio because the UCLD2 one seemed to drain my battery. I haven't tried Smooth ICE yet, but I used his previous UCALC4 version and it was great. The only reason I uninstalled was b/c UCALC had the google contacts sync problem. If Sky Ice starts acting up on me, I will try Smooth Ice 5.1.
Speed and responsiveness of GB? In my experience all of the ICS roms (or leaks) have been way faster than any of the GB roms I've used. So far, I've had little to no problems with UCLD2 that wasn't caused by myself. The only thing I wish for is a toggle to switch btwn HSPA and LTE so I don't have to turn off the device to do it, but I think we'll have to wait for a Rogers leak for that.

I am really picky. I never found an Atrix ROM (previous phone) I liked (it was complicated by the fact that I used and still use the lapdock, however).
My first go with ICS Rom was not good. Laggy, issues, etc.
I didn't give up and have been using Sky ICS 4.2D now for a couple of weeks. It is faster than gb, I have not had one fc and everything is really smooth. Only thing I don't like is the contacts are not part of the dialer (issue with all the ICS roms) but it is a minor issue outweighed (imho) by the benefits.
I think the key to the ICS ROMs is doing it exactly by the book; follow the instructs..
Yeah im having same problem. Just not smoov enough for me. Official should be coming soon. Glad i could taste the ics a lil bit though. It was good!!! Lol hello gingerbread

Complete CM7 & MIUI

Hi everybody!
Maybe I can seem really annoying but, since we're waiting for kernel 3, cannot devs focus on CM7 or miui in order to let camera record videos?
I think it is a good idea and it won't oblige anybody to upgrade to ics if they simply dont want! (for example I dont like the "speed" of ics and prefer gb actually)
I hope this tread will mean something for someone

That's a nice thought there. CM9 still has a lot of bugs in it and there is still a lot of work to be done. The ICS roms need kernel 3.x as you know and hillbeast is doing great. It I have been following the kernel 3.x development thread and it seems that hillbeast would have a the device booting soon. For devs like dhiru it would be too tedious to work on CM7 as he is already working on CM9 and the kernel. CM9 is pretty smooth and the camera occasionally force closes.
Yes I do agree with you when you say users should not be pushed to use ICS. Hope cm7 finds devs working on the camera.
CM9 is the future.. It will take the same effort to fix bugs on CM7 as on CM9..
Asking a dev to work on CM7 with CM9 development at its current state is pretty unnecessary, and I don't think any dev would even be interested. Why would anybody work on something that's supposed to be fizzing out..
As dhiru said,working on CM7 is double works for him.He is also busy with his life now.And yes,who don't want a fully complete rom? But developers are human like we too.You cannot say that now they are waiting for kernel 3.0,therefore they have time now. No, they need to spend time to their friends, family, their study etc..Lastly, the most important is they work for the community with no salary. We should appreciate their work rather than keep demand to them.

so you think that once kernel 3.0 will be out, they don't have any kind of "life"?
i said that, it's a good choice to complete cm7 and this period of "tranquillity" is the best one, since it's "freer" than once kernel out.

getting a fully stable aosp rom is like a dream which will never come true for us. I know I am saying in a very negative way but its a fact guys that we have very few developers who also want some help from other top developers of other community who are damn busy with their development & they even dont know that a phone whose name is "galaxy SL" exist in mobile world. My friends also said me many times that they know galaxy s, s2, s3, ace & many more phones but they haven't heared anything about galaxy SL phone.
Its all about plenty of developers needed for good development which we are lacing from 1st day of release of this phone. I am emotinally attached with this phone & our community members, developers & thats why I use my phone with full of interest Otherwise I would have sold it so many days ago.
Regarding cm7, cm9, miui or any aosp rom I will only say this much that if any develoer will make hd video recording working then just within a week we will get official cm7, cm9...etc. But in my opinion it will never happen. We have to always live with a phone having good aosp rom but with lots bugs....ALWAYS...!
Agree with the essence of this topic.
We, i9003 users, don't have a custom ROM, that is bugfree.
I am willing to donate to whoever would spend time and effort to make "video recording" work on a custom ROM. Again, I'm not a developer and am not sure if this is even possible. I used to be a good c and java programmer about 12 years ago, but haven't been coding since then.
On the other hand, I'm also willing to wait for kernel 3 and make sure we have the latest stuff for our phones.
JMHO
I honestly think OP is right. We need to have a Rom that is bugfree. That way, many people won't feel bad going back to those stock ROMs which are nothing but a headache being slow and awful to work with and to look at. Most people just want a bugfree AOSP ROM.
On another note, it will be a pain for the devs (Dhiru), who promised us CM9. Nobody wants to do those things which they weren't supposed to. It will also be a pain for the community to donate a device to another dev. Seeing the chance of the Sense 4.0 donation request from many people, i don't think there are so many people in this community who can make it up for donating 2 phones in really short intervals, or at similar time.
And for the blow, Jellybean 4.1 is gonna be here anytime. SDK (And Sources too, i think) will be released today (Remember, first CM9 started with SDK builds), and update will be pushed to phones such as Nexus and Galaxy S3 in Mid July. So now, should the devs should still concentrate on fixing GB bugs? Or should the fix the CM9 bugs first? Or should they start porting Jellybean?
Just my POV.
I guess pushing for jellybean would be pushing too far(unless a dev dares to differ). I'll be content with a bugfree ICS ROM.

getting a fully stable aosp rom is like a dream which will never come true for us. I know I am saying in a very negative way but its a fact guys that we have very few developers who also want some help from other top developers of other community who are damn busy with their development & they even dont know that a phone whose name is "galaxy SL" exist in mobile world. My friends also said me many times that they know galaxy s, s2, s3, ace & many more phones but they haven't heared anything about galaxy SL phone.
Its all about plenty of developers needed for good development which we are lacing from 1st day of release of this phone. I am emotinally attached with this phone & our community members, developers & thats why I use my phone with full of interest Otherwise I would have sold it so many days ago.
Regarding cm7, cm9, miui or any aosp rom I will only say this much that if any develoer will make hd video recording working then just within a week we will get official cm7, cm9...etc. But in my opinion it will never happen. We have to always live with a phone having good aosp rom but with lots bugs....ALWAYS...!

That's so negative.
CM9 is nearly bug free, (Except current known bugs), so no it's not a dream..
I kinda agree with OP, but not only hllbeast is working on kernel 3.x, dhiru and crack(-can't remember) are working on it too, so they're not "free".

Sorry for my negative thinking but I have seen development of this device from very start & I am pretty disappointed with it. Anyway if I become wrong in future & if my dream come true then I'll be the most happiest person on earth

I think it will come true, the number of developers increased, that can be only good

CM7 bugs could be a very little one... But if no developer does anything we cannot do anything.
Gb is very very very good for our phone and without 3.0 ics is pretty unstable...
If developers can do CM7 why spend time with ics that needs 3.0?
First finish CM7 then, once kernel out, ics!

Developers here, do this development for the sheer excitement of it, not for money.
I can see people are very excited about CM9 and ICS. Developers are people too, and do what excites them or what feels like a challenge.
It's quite similar to what happens when you get a new phone. I had a nokia E63, which i used to love and did use/try every feature/app for that phone. But, I rarely do anything except make phone calls from that device now. All my excitement is for my first android 9003.
Just an analogy to explain why excitement has died. Hope it makes sense.
