I love ics, i really do.. but its too buggy and really bad battery life. Should i get a gb rom instead? And i know this is prob somewhere and someone will rage at me for asking, but can u go right back to ics by normal flash if u wanted?
No you can't because GB is bml and ICS is Mtd

What roms have you tried. I'm at 72% battery on Remics with light usage and on about 19 hrs usage
Sent from my SGH-T959W using xda app-developers app
I did it few days ago. Went from ICS back to GB. AntonX's Barebones ROM. Enjoying great battery life now, strong WiFi signal and absence of other bugs.
Personally, I'd stay with ICS, but I'm handing down this phone to my wife (got Galaxy Nexus, yay!). And she does not care much about bells and whistles, she needs a solid ROM she can count on. As much as I loved ICS, it's not there yet.
Can recommend Barebones, great ROM. Apart from the strange color for interface bars, but that's a minor thing, and after all tastes differ. Other than that, it's a great solid ROM.

I went back to GB and the very next day I went back to ICS. I'm not far away from a charger ever and other than that the bugs are very minimal. I never really thought ICS was that big of a jump from GB but then getting so used to ICS and going back to GB it was night and day. I'd stay on ICS

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Granted, I think that CM7 is the only MTD based GB rom.
And I need to update it... eh. so much to do.
Then I have newer version of blastoff v3 and an AOSP based rom coming soon. Which is still BML... for now.
I left ICS to go back to Valhalla FB. GB battery life is so much better. On Valhalla FB i lose 16% percent battery life in 11 hours of light usage .

I don't understand this thread. You're asking if you should go back to GB but you alteady did. Also, you gave the reasons. So what's the point?
ROMs, either Froyo, GB or ICS, as other works like mods and tweaks are there as options. You don't have to use anything. If you like something you try it and if you don't like it then switch to another thing. If ICS doesn't work because of battery, then go to GB.
I see no reason to create a thread for this. What's your point OP?

It might be because I'm a newb, or my kernal is incompatable, but every rom I've tried has bugged out. The worst was ICS, where my home button had no functionality whatsoever. So currently I'm just running Faux's kernal and that's it. Solid, not buggy, no problems so far...

UHF sky ics isn't working right for you, then you are doing something wrong. I compare my phone to my brothers unrooted skyrocket. Mine is faster with the same battery life. Sometimes better battery life depending on the update.

Many ICS roms are pretty stable and practically everything works.
I would suggest you look into uni-yuma-porn and remICS-UX .. those are my faves.
CM10 is absolutely amazing of course.. you can't beat the jelly beans
Gps works althought it causes a bit of lag when used, which would be a problem if you use it often. It's up to you really, what best fits your personal use

I don't think it matters...but don't hold me to that one issue you may have come across is rainbow recovery (discoloration or static like lines) which indicates you need GB boot loaders. But since you got official GB through Samsung Kies you should already have them (that's how I got mine)...Buuttttt!! Do you have root?

Thanks. Could you provide links for getting the ROMS you recommend? When I go to the Cyanogen site, for example, they don't list the Infuse as a supported phone. So which one do you use to get the CM10?
Looking at the uni-yuma-porn it says to flash the Rom, then flash the GAPPS, but no clue on what GAPPS is or how to flash it.
You won't find it up in the cyanogenmod site. Our phone is not supported officially by them, but it has been developed unofficially. It works just as well as those official devices since it is build from the same repo.
All roms I mentioned are found right here on xda under infuse android development.
Gapps stands for google apps which includes the play store and many other apps such as the setup when you first boot your phone. They are often linked in every Rom that requires you flash them.

Just checking up on what everything is.
1. Cyanogen is an android custom firmware. -
2. aokp is an android custom rom base
3. porting simply changing the coding to fit from a similiar device to another
4. All the gb/ics/jb custom.roms.mainly run off altered and tailored versions of these 2.
5. odin used to flash and get a recovery in case of bricking.
6. clockworkmod (cwm) similar used for recovery.
So in essence from base of cyan firmware and aokp rom people make alterations and build platforms ex changing kernels, drivers, and cosmetics.
Hummm.... Believe im getting it..correct me if im wrong

Roms with aroma installers give you more options for you to customize the installation. Some frequent options are Gapps, kernels, additional apps and whatever the Chef decides to include.

audiophile will be google source + a host of audio video rewrites from source.

no it shouldnt be quiet.. unless im misunderstanding the question
I've read about it before so I know I'm not the only one who has this problem but playback isn't as loud as it would be on another device. The way I usually fix this by using voodoo sound and changing (forgetting what it's called) from -30 to zero.

@Raver
It's confusing cuz' Iwas waiting on a VB GB update like you said in the VB and since you mentioned here that ROM, I thought you were referring to an ICS version of Audiophile and an update of VB in GB. Not an ICS version of VB since the topic only says "audiophile-ics". It doesn't mention VB, so maybe you threw the update to VB that you mentioned a while back. But it's clear now.
ICS ROMs... Anyone here could have said that. Easier than quoting and replying that it's not confusing. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the release of these.
