I need help, I know this has been posted to what would seem to be death, however I have spent hours reading and just seem to have more questions.
Ultimately here is what I want an inspire 4g running ics. Don't need sense. I have read about several ics roms and there seem to be various things that work or don't some dont support 4g, others the camera doesnt work. I know that ATT is not going to allow up date, therefore I am going to have to flash a new rom. but I am looking for suggestions, I am not a developer, just a guy who uses the bulk of his phones features ie. camera, video, messaging, email, web and data and lastly the phone it self.
So in a new ROM i am looking for:
Camera/video
Messaging
facebook picture intrigation, but assuming i can get from app
all g apps working ie 4.0 dialer, contacts, calendar, messenger, ability to use chrome browser and other 4.0 specific apps
Volume fix for inspire, we all know that it is awful low
slightly better than stock (current) battery life
wifi
bluetooth
I'm probally missing some things, but I want the rom to behave like an ics phone our of box.
Yes, I should just go out and buy a phone with ics or jelly bean on it like the g3 or one, but that is not in the budget, right now.
experience, i have put cm on a sd card and run nook from bootable sd card, that is my the extent of flashing roms that i have experience with.
could someone suggest a rom that is realtively idiot proof in instal that would meet the above requirements.
Thanks as the more posts i read the more confused i seem to become.
No worries. From what you mentioned flash a GB rom and skip ICS for a few weeks to a month or two until htc releases their ICS update. Which rom? Heck, blackice, CM 7.2rc3 or any of the previous ones, rd miui - or any gb miui, absolution and the list can go on.

I have to agree with going back to GB. Until HTC releases the source code for ICS things will always be Broken. And just to let you know. Non of the roms will work on 4G/LTE as the inspire is not a 4G capable phone.

Hi All,
So Friday I unlocked and rooted my Verizon Galaxy Nexus for the first time so I could load Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I have to say, Wow! such a huge improvement from ICS. I love how fast and smooth it is. Its like having a hole new phone! But I have found one problem so far, and was wandering if any one else is having the same issue. So the problem Im having is with the camera... It looks like its a white balance issue. all the pictures I take are coming out with a yellow or green hue to them, and if you try to set the white balance manually to incandescent or any thing else it gets really yellow or green. I have also noticed that if I go to the gallery app, it won't switch to landscape when I rotate my phone to landscape to view my pictures. But if I go in to the camera and swipe left to get in to the gallery, then I can view pictures with no problem in landscape.
If anyone hase any ideas, or has noticed simular problems pls hit me up... I would love to get this figured out.
The sample picture I am adding to this should be white, not the hew it is...
I have a Galaxy Nexus SCH-I515.
I used ToolKit v7.0 to unlock, root, and load ClockworkMod...
I loaded JB411_toro_signed_071012-1130.zip and Jellybean GApps files to get it up to 4.1.1.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Matt,
So I loaded a different version of 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and all is well..

Issue w/ JB
In this case, it most likely is just a major error in the software itself, and will be noted by testers and fixed soon.
have a great day.
That was a software issue in the first JB release
Maybe try flashing the newest gapps?
I tapd that
gnex axiom antimyth
I figured, I've sense installed cm_toro- user debugging 4.1.1 JRO03H vicious.20120728.002819 test keys
And it seems to be perfect, I haven't found any problems with it yet. So I'm pretty happy
Now I just need room root my Verizon XYBoard 10.1 to ICS...

I figured you could just install a new GApps over an older one. I'm kinda new to unlocking and rooting.. I've had my android devices for years now but never really got into hacking them tell now. There's a lot to learn.

First post here obviously. I got a phone from ebay and bricked it the same day. Sent it in for JTAG. So hopefully it will be okay. It came with CM10. I noticed the burst shot didn't work to well and a few camera features where missing. Of course I fear damaging it again when i get it back. I came to the conclusion it's pretty much pointless to be installing roms. It seems like everyone has some bugs.
I want my phone stocked now, now I want to be able to uninstall native apps, free up some space. My dilemma is I remember reading that CM10 had better picture quality than the stock camera. Not sure if that's true, is it? The CM10 cam didn't have best picture, the burst shot would stutter and skip. I was playing games on it before it got bricked through emulators. Is there any stock processes I should be aware of that would use up CPU and memory usage that can slow down games? Is the CM10 really better than the stock camera? Also, I would love to have the hyperx video recording. Is it possible to install that?
I have the T999 version.
Hey guys, just picked up my sg3 tonight from att iphone 4.
trying to get out of the clutches of apple so we will see how this goes.
basically i am a new user but tech savvy so i have the skills to root etc etc
what would you guys recommend installing? I want jelly bean so would it be better to wait and update when official version comes out or use a ROM? suggestions on which one?
basically i am only on my phone for twitter, facebook, text, internet when not around my laptop and music. concerned with battery life among other things.
so what should i try?
thanks for any help!
I just got my s3 over the weekend. I'm coming from the galaxy nexus. So far I'm happy staying stock right now. Battery life is incredible over my nexus. Think I'll be waiting for the Jellybean update.

Im on beans build 5 with IMO's LK 1.0 and i got great battery life out of it. I dont have any screen shots but i got 18 hours with a little over 4 hours of screen time. I watched Tv shows surfed the web made phone calls messaging and listened to music and i was at about 30% still. this has been by far the best jellybean rom for me so far.
Try stock for a bit. I had some decent results on it.

so i am running cleanrom 5.x right now and so far so good. 2 things
1) is there anyway to get the htc weather widget on the sg3? im talking about the exact same one as htc that has the animation of snow or rain or whatever on the screen? i have tried beatiful widgets and all the stuff in the play store but not really a fan of any of them.
2) reception is ok but never really seems to get more than 3 bars on 4G even though i am right in the city and close to a verizon store. is there a way to flash a new one?
EDIT: flashed to VRLK3 and still have same amount of bars, suggest any others?

Clean Rom 5 or Synergy are two of the most popular and stable ROM's for the verizon version, I'm running Synergy rc125.
Just out of curiosity, I know this phone is a bit "dated", how many of you are still using your Infuse on a daily basis?
I owned a few higher end Android devices, switched to prepaid and the iPhone, and then switched to an Infuse.
These forums have obviously died down, but I was curious about whether it was due to many of the devs moving on, or everyone moving on. Lol!
Infuse has been my phone since the last three years. That said, I am waiting for the Nexus 6 which would be my next upgrade. I am still amazed though how Infuse is running 4.4 smoothly
Yeah it really is a good device. And it still seems to hold it's own.
The Nexus devices are wonderful. My last contract phone was the Galaxy Nexus. I loved it. Right up until it died completely.
yes, i am still using my infuse with carbon room
I'm glad to see some responses. I'm sure the devs have slowed down. That's just the way with this stuff. But, it's still a great phone. It has less issues than my S3 or GNex had.
I still run cm11 in my infuse... But anymore it is for my daughters to play with... If this device had a gig of ram it would be running strong.

Absolutely agree. This phone would still be a contender. But, I really an impressed with how smooth it is. I really haven't had any issues.
Games that scroll tend to lag on anything other than stock... But its by far trash just yet.

Problems with Camera...
Hi all, i'm actually using this phone daily, the stock rom (AT&T Froyo) camera runs smoothly, especially in the video recording function, but i can't get it to work that good with other updates, from Gingerbread/ICS/JB to KitKat it keeps on lagging and freezing constantly, i'm actually using 4.4.2 CyanFox Rom, which i've just loved, but the camera still keeps lagging, how can i fix this?? what kind of apps you guys run to keep the phone running smooth free of lag?

Even though this phone is still a decent contender, it is going to lag from time to time on JB/KK. They are much larger systems and require more resources. It's amazing that the devs managed to get us such a smooth KitKat experience really.
That being said... I have managed to keep 4.4 running fairly smoothly on mine. First of all, I make sure to fully close out of each app I'm not using. The built in task management in Android is a lot better than it used to be.. But its not much of a help on an older device like this.
If that doesn't do enough for you look around for a stripped down minimal version of CM and a minimal gapps package as well.
If you're willing to stay on top of it and deal with some lag time to time though... Then any of the KK ROMs will be good to run. But, if you want it to be smooth and not have any work arounds or issues you'll want to stick to a more stock ROM.

Im really impressed to about this phone. I was using a Xperia SP. The experience with CM11 is pretty awesome, wish the device had 1GB RAM, then it will be a badass.
Im that one type of social network guy, i use the camera very often, in CM11 the camara loss his quality and the focus is not working that well, thast a pitty, but i get used to it.
Cheers.
Yep! Got another user here-- I have been using the Infuse for about a month since I pattern locked myself out of my beloved Atrix without WiFi or USB Debugging on (i do NOT want to factory reset it but am loosing hope for a workaround that actually works ) I text a LOT and am seeing a lag now which Im attributing to the texts building up... It has shared internal memory, right? Also do you guys know if it has to be rooted to over clock? Im figuring it does, and still need to do more research into what OC really does, but Im pretty sure all my machines need it! hahaha
Glad to read Im not the last one riding the Infuse train <3

I'm jumping back on the infuse train, main for play, my daughter to play with, and my music player. The last time I looked at it the battery was low, then I moved, and when I turned it back on, I got a blinking white screen. Figured the battery was dead, I got a new one and now the white screen turns on. I haven't need a jig in a while, so I have one being shipped to me now.

Ouch! I did that once on my first device... it really sucks.
The lag could also be caused by things running in the background. Its just not got the umph to handle a lot of multitasking or background processes. But, the lag is usually only for a few seconds from my experience.
If you want to OC you will need to be rooted. You will also need an app like SetCPU or a custom ROM with those settings built in. But, keep in mind every device is different. And never tell it to set on boot unless you've really tested it out, and know your phone will be stable and can handle the frequencies you set. It may also eat the battery like crazy haha!
Once you get the hang of it though adjusting it and setting up profiles can really make your experience more enjoyable.
Did that muddy up the water some more?

Hello to all,
I have recently be given one from my son who does phone repairs.
Moving from a moto defymini with only 165mb of memory, i am very happy.
The phone had a power button issue which my son fixed by soldering a new one.
Phone worked amazing for two weeks til it just started rebooting, so im in a bind now. Have tried the gtgunbrick for odin but still, it boots up to the setup screen and just reboots. My son is stumped with it so ive been looking around at all the forums and youtube vids for solutions.....still no joy but im hoping to get it fixed. The infuse, tho old, still packs a punch and is a cool phone.
all the best
