what's the best popular rom for us
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

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.

personal preference my friend. Try a couple out and see which one you like

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.

(Q) Is anyone closer to or working to resolve Bluetooth issue for aokp/cm9?

First off, I want to say that I read the threads extensively, including the cm9 and nunhuggers uniporn threads and I know that neither rom, nor any other cm9 based rom has working Bluetooth.
I realized from what I've read so far that this is a major task and fixing it is going to be a pain, so please if you have an issue with this topic be nice or don't read it. Don't bash me for asking a question. I use Bluetooth and love the ics Roms that have been released so I gave up bluetooth use to use nunhuggers aokp rom which is amazing.
Allentown I want to know is IF anyone is actively working on a resolution for this issue.
Thanks in advance for any useful information you can provide and as always, thank you to all you developers out there for created such amazing roms for us infuse users.

As far as i know bluetooth is a kernel side problem...so.it would take a kernel dev to fix...and since entropy and jt are the only two.who have worked on ics kernel...id say they are the only two who may be working on bluetooth...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA

I've never worked on a Linux or Android Kernel - it's been almost a decade since I touched C/C++. I've often wondered the chances of a seasoned developer (C# here) who wasn't been around a lot of C/C++ development solving the bluetooth issue. In the end, learning some of these things comes down to brute force trial and error. However, it would be nice to know from an experienced kernel dev what we'd be up against - or where to start hammering.
Is this something one could do in the evening and get back to a usable phone by the next morning? I'd hate to have to pull out the candy-bar Nokia...but I bet it still works (and with awesome battery+voice quality)!

Also Hdmi would be nice

Like many have said before... once the sony xperia sola comes out, then we have a lot better chance of getting it working

That's good news I hadn't heard before. Thanks!

Great news to hear Ryan!! Quick question, who will be handling Bluetooth for the Sony Xperia Sola that would allow kernel integration for the Infuse?
Edit: As in the company handling it lol

Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Just trying to put some of the different information together. I'd seen bits and pieces but wasn't aware of it all...
A previous thread in this forum showed that the Infuse uses the CG2900 by ST Ericsson.
In jt1134's ICS Rom thread, pdtp stated that the Sony Xperia Sola uses the NOVATHORTM U8500 which contains the CG2900. This phone is expected to be released with 2.3 Gingerbread but updated to 4.0 ICS.
Other device(s) have used the CG2900, with the attempt at integration discussed by LinuxBozo.

Alright, I've taken my first steps into a larger world. I've installed Linux to my laptop and I'm gonna see if I can start the long and seemingly complicated road to kernel development.
My ultimate goal is to attempt to create a kernel with HDMI out support, working Bluetooth, full HD video playback, and a few more needs for the Infuse that need fulfilling, including better battery life and greater wifi range quality.
I know it wont be easy at all considering the two ICS kernels we have are made by tried and true pros, but even they started somewhere, and made some mistakes. No greater teacher for software development than trial and error. Wish me luck folks.
Sent from my SGH-I997 aka subject 0, CM9 using xda premium

Best of luck to you. If you go out and search Google for CG2900 Snowball you'll see that even the original developers of the chip were seeking help determining how they should implement their driver. There's open issues with it under Linux as well. I'm amazed it made it into a phone in this kindof shape.
Perhaps that's why the hope is on the Sony phone - they've been fairly transparent as of late with source code drops on their Android phones. Maybe they'll take the time and clean up the driver for the phone?

Thanks, hopefully there is a way to integrate it. I've got a ton of reading to do, let me ask this, is a device's kernel limited to programming native to that device only? I.e., porting that bluetooth tree over to the Infuse? Or that of the Galaxy S II?

Bravo to you sir, you are far braver than I. I would imagine there would be many a donation coming your way if you were able to figure something out. Best of luck.

Thanks Mushroom. I want to just say that I'm not doing this because I'm unhappy with our current ICS Kernels, but because I want to give our devices more variety with development.
We're at the mercy of the kernel no matter how impressive the Rom, just imagine having full capabilities and having our community push out ICS original Roms and other devices seeking to port from us!!

Wish you luck. Probably best if you start of his, then build around it modding the kernel, as i think building it yourself is very hard.

Its very intimidating. May start with a Gingerbread base and see what I can migrate over to ICS

Probably a lot of bug fixes and performance/stability updates. ICS was a massive upgrade. I've given up on a fragmentation fix for a while...however, hopefully Jelly Bean will introduce mojal. Google's voice assistant

I expect more threads and questions like these around xda...possibly these device forums.
I'm no psychic or anything, just a prediction.

I do that a lot, too. It helps keep the trolls at bay.
I really wish Google would stop releasing new versions. They're KILLING us with fragmentation. My company has created a couple of Android apps and released them, but fragmentation is really hurting them.

4.1 i think

ICS began to start working fine for our phones, now theres jellybean tomorrow. oh man, hope we can get that too

offline dictation, my wish came true.

It s coming mid July
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Hmmm... Offline dictation, or at least a better voice recognition... I really don;t know why I cant make any of my android phones work the voice recognition as my old blackberry curve. I don't really need the system to get me con cert tickets or how is the weather in Japan... just need something fully integrated that can read and take my messages, dial correctly any phone number I ask for and play the music I ask. Is that sooooo dificult to accomplish??? Or is it the fact that I speak in spanish so I need it to work in spanish while the phone is in english.

The new notification system and Google Now are awesome! I really do hope the devs here can get it on our phones. I think the kernel we are using is fine. I don't think jellybean has a whole new kernel. Mid July, and I shall see if the devs can whip something up
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 4G

Well, considering our ram is just a bit less than current specs (1gb) i really hope that we can still get this update...:highfive:

Jelly bean WILL have offline voice control. Also I'm guessing we wikl be able to running because based on what I've read, jelly bean is a more polished and stable version of ICS, including numerous performance and stability fixes. Thus if its a more optimized version of ICS, we should be able to run it.

Jellybean should run quicker with Googles butter project, to bad I am not at home, I really wanna use that sdk dump

Skyrocket Japanese support?

Hi i have the skyrockete from att and was wondering if there was an app i could download from Google play to have Japanese on my phone as there is no option in the languages settings from the factory.
Anyway to do this without rooting?
Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Bump..
Also, I know there is an App called MoreLocal2 from google play (used on my HTC Inspire 4g, and works better compared to the skyrocket), and it works fine, however, it just doesnt support enough Japanese for my liking, as It only covers simple things, such as the Date, time, and lock screen, but thats about it. No support for the Settings or apps.
Would my phone need to be Rooted to have everything in Japanese? Or is there a 3rd party app?
Thanks.

The basic phone wont have japanese, only keyboard. Maybe a custom rom can support japanese and for that you need more than just rooting.
I'm pretty sure cyanogenmod can fully support japanese.

Thanks
Kind of a dumb question but could I or is it even possible to load the NTT Docomo gs2 software? Seems like a long shot to ask but I want to try and avoid rooting.

Would it be possible to remove the US GS2 AT&T software, and load the Japanese GS2 NTT Docomo(carrier like AT&T) Software?
Just wondering, as im trying to avoid rooting for now.
Sorry for the confusion

I still have no clue but you also have to make sure the models are alike hardware wise or you'll get yourself a hardbrick.

Probably not going to happen unless you can get someone to port it for you, keeping the language in Japanese. Even then it still won't be OG DoCoMo, it will be DoCoMo/AT&T Skyrocket. It can be done, it was done with the Chinese version of MIUI to the HTC Sensation but it took A LONG TIME before it was good enough to use. Like I said, probably not going to happen since you are the only one with a vested interest.

Darn, alright thanks to the both of you. Guess I'll just use English till I run into a possible language support
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

As I said if you really want jap you could root and flash cyanogenmod but before you do this read this whole forum at least twice.

It depends how you put it in terms. For example, jailbreak meaning installing a better ROM on your phone than the one you already have, and secondly, you can only jailbreak an iPhone being the term 'jailbreak' came from iDevices.

are you insulting me, because i'm not fat.

Jailbreak is a term use in iOS. In android, we root our phones. Why? Few reasons, to install custom ROM, it is mainly because that phone no longer receiving update, so have to rely on xda. 2nd, to over clocked your phone. 3rd , dislike skinned ui, example HTC sense , Samsung touch wiz and more. So they would go for pure android aka vanilla. Or some prefer cyanogen version. Anyway, welcome to android, you can find almost all information about your android phone here. Have a nice day

Google root + your device and carrier. It has worked for me as a new guy. Read up on it first and be careful as flashing roms and root can have permanent negative consequences. Just find your device here on xda and that should be a good starting point

First off what phone did you get? And if you are new to android, rooting, custom roms etc, I recommend you use the stock android your phone came with for a little to get familiar before you go changing things around.

we don't jailbreak android devices , as it is not needed here , but sometimes we root it to gain some special controlling over the device properties.
I would not recommend you to do so , until you get used to the new system and its abilities .
