i just traded my htc vivid for my bros samsung infuse. I loved the vivid but my bro wants it and infuse was mine in the first place. did some swapping around with my brothers. I just hate the stock rom and all the bloatwares. Can someone recomment a smooth stable rom for the infuse? also one that can tether.
Which Rom is a personal preferance.
I currently run F1 Innovation, Fast, Stable and smooth. Not sure about tethering.
F1 Innovation
Check out the super thread: Infuse Super Thread
The current miui does tethering very stable and fast. Also the battery drain seems to be fixed which is a huge plus.

Still i haven't installed it but I read that CyanogenMod 7 works flawlessly on the Infuse. I read you can use it to connect usb devices to your phone so i guess it can do pretty anything, tethering included.
The only thing that seems to work crappy is audio through bluetooth but i bet it's not a big problem : bluetooth is one of the most stupid and unsecure tecnologies ever invented.
You will find on this forum tons of informations about roms...just read it!
I have a preference for Infuse based ROM on my infuse.
they are listed in the dev section under superthread

Don't install a Samsung based rom, which is everything but CM7 or MIUI. Both CM7 and MIUI are AOSP based. MIUI is too much like iOS for my liking. I have been running CM7 on my infuse since I got it, and before that on my inspire, and before that on my captivate. CM7 is the only way to go.
For what it's worth, I'm running CM7, the newest nightly on 1/19. Very stable (some apps I had while running stock Froyo or Infused 2.2.3? would force close alot, not on CM7, but it's a very selective few apps I use for work), very smooth, very fast, overclockable to at least 1.4 gHz for most people. Some people do 1.6 gHz but it's not stable for my phone. You can undervolt it by some amounts for that extra battery savings, and it's constantly having features added to it, like T9 dialing that I discovered was included (much MUCH love for this small thing).
For all the added features, I regularly go through my phone and make sure I don't have apps that do things that are now part of the phone, so I keep the app list short and sweet. Having redundant features means that 2 things are trying to do the same thing, and I'd rather punch out my battery more and more without giving up some conveniences I had Dialer One on my phone, and it's not that great looking, but I had it just for the T9 dialing. Once I saw that CM7 had a T9 dialing feature, I uninstalled Dialer One. The music app, while not as heavy on the eye candy, made me get rid of Doubletwist and Airsync. Airsync never really worked great, for me at least.
CM7 doesn't have fully working bluetooth on the Infuse, some people have trouble with auto brightness (my personal preference is that I'd rather use the status bar slider to adjust brightness), and HDMI out doesn't work. It also has some extra niceties, such as theming, a DSP Manager app (that controls audio levels and equalizers), and is pretty much always being updated.
The drop down bar can be customized almost entirely, and because bluetooth doesn't work, not that I want it, I got rid of that icon. I replaced it with a screen timeout toggle. It has many more options than that.
One thing, and I don't think this is CM7 exclusive, is that sometimes my text messages won't send. I'm using GOSMS as my messaging app until the stock messaging app starts sending ALL of my texts. MMS relies on a data connection so I tend to pull the drop down and enable that when I want to send a picture or download one. Once it starts working the same way, I'm uninstalling GOSMS because it tends to be heavy and sometimes lags up noticeably.
I don't use bluetooth, and I don't think I've ever opened that HDMI dongle packaging, much less tried to use it. While it would be nice if they functioned, I get from day to day without even thinking about those. Your mileage may vary.
I'll throw my support behind CM7. I briefly tried ZEUS, but switched back after a couple days.

The only way to get a rom that has everything working like it should is to flash an infused based rom ...NOT an aosp rom..... cm7 is good if you don't need Bluetooth....as cm7 and miui use a different bt stack then Samsung ...so in my opinion that issue wont be fixed....and they have been known to have data issues....flash ANY of the infuse based Rome if you want complete functionality....period
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Like others say if you need BT audio or HDMI stick with Samsung roms. I could care less about both, i have been bouncing back and forth between CM7 and MIUI for months now whenever there is a noteworthy update. Both are very quick and clean in my opinion and you can't go wrong with either one. I have tried most Samsung roms available but they are always short lived on my device...they always feel as if lacking something. Props to the devs for making them available though!!!
thank guys for the responses.. I am currently running the cm7.. looks great and smooth but i got a few issues maybe its the phone itself.
first: seems like my internet/wifi doesnt stay on at times or its not using wifi even tho its turned on.
second: the browser seems to be very slow and it force closes at times maybe it the site that i go to. ESPN scoreboards, i bet a lot so i check scores frequently and open a lot of pages.
third: yeah, battery does seem to go fast maybe because of the excessive use of the web.
BTW do you guys have to put in any apns?? I didnt'.
I don't think it's your phone. I'm still new at this, but as I understand it, you can make/flash tweaks and different modems that may help with the issues you encounter. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm on cm7 and I keep going back to it everytime I flash something new. It just works the best for me. As for data issues, you need to setup the apn fix listed in n0ctrnl's compiled cm7 thread. It's in the original post I believe. Also I flashed the latest modem (uckl2) found in the sticky of development section for modems

Go to wifi settings, hit menu button and go to advanced. Under wifi sleep policy choose never. Should fix the wifi connection issues your having.
I've tried many, but Zeus is the best one that's fully functional (BT and HDMI).
if i flash the miui rom, can i just wipe data and cache than flash the rom? or do i need to do something else?
currently on cm7...
Check out Z*E*U*S ROM.

Definately Zeus for now. It's snappy, everything works and theres even a few themes as well as an ICS launcher. All the AT&T bloat has been removed. I used to prefer stock, but Zeus made me convert. It's just more responsive than any other rom for the Infuse.
It's all a matter of personal preference. I've run about 12-15 different ROMs on my Infuse so far. I keep coming back to Sensation 1.1. I really like being able to edit my status bar.
I didn't care for the camera in CM7, but it is a very nice running ROM. Only thing I miss is not having an extended power menu.
Just play with a bunch of them until you find one you like.

My current phone got stolen, so I need something on a budget for the meanwhile. I was thinking of getting a captivate since it has lot of development with stable ICS builds..
My only concern is the GPS ? I had heard there were problems initially with early galaxy S units, resulting in poor GPS performance. Do they still exist in ICS roms or were they fixed ? Also if anyone know were these on hardware side or if they were just software bugs?

There are several threads on the gps problem and it's not related to rom, per se. I am on GB and changing the etc/gps.conf file has made my GPS reliable. The position of the GPS antenna inside the phone is far from ideal and samsung didn't ship it with best settings in the gps.conf file.
if you search for 'gps.conf' you will find the threads. it is pretty simple to replace the gps.conf file or edit it.
Some ROMs include the gps.conf fix.

I love many things about my captivate, but the GPS is not one of them. There are fixes that help some, but it still seems too unreliable. If I'm driving it loses signal all too often.
Gps
For a decent gps signal I flash H3llstorm GPS Fix after flashing a Rom... Still Doesn't compare to other devices signal strength, but makes gps usable
It works on CM9, AOKP and MIUI
-Sorry for bad English
GPS, also, depend on your baseband version.some baseband firmwares consumes more battary charge, but gives better GPS signals. I use XXJVT modem and have no issues with GPS signal.
I figured out something cool. If I hold my captivate up to the windshield it will lock on nicely, whereas if it's in my lap when driving it won't. Then I have a windshield mount where I keep it. It's been working better. This has been true on AOCP and jelly bean.
Running aokp kang build 4 GPS locks normally < 30 sec

After flashing to latest stable Cyanogenmod 9.1 my GPS is very good. I get 8 out of 9 satellite lock in about 5 seconds where it used to take 30-40 seconds with stock ROM and about 20-30 with 2.3.5 ROM I used for a while. That's in exactly the same spot right in front of my house.
that's the only thing i hate about Captivate @@
GPS is unbelievably weak, it has to combine with gps from mobile network, i can never use pure gps with only satellites @@
The GPS is my least favorite component of my Galaxy S.
I do use my Captivate as my GPS while geocaching.
I find that for best reception I have to hold the phone so the back is pointed up. To do this is is slightly over my head and I have to look up at it. Going though some trees and leaning over the phone it will loose connection. In the car driving I only find occasionally it will loose connection. In the mount on the dash it is in the ideal orientation.
My Transformer Prime tablet has an even worse GPS but the update external GPS add-on improves the GPS to be much better than the Captivate.
If it realy matters you can get a blue tooth GPS that can work with this and probably any phone you might upgrade to in the future.
I am running ICS on my phone and under Location Services there is GPS source to select different GPS. I just tried to connect using bluetooth to my Garmin car GPS but the only bluetooth functionality it has is to send sound to car stereo. and I could not even pair the Garmin with the Captivate.
Lots of bluetooth GPS receivers to choose from on eBay.
This thread might give you some more information of some of the units others have tried.

I am going to stick with the GPS in my phone. It has worked good enough for two years and will be updating my phone in Feb or March.

Honestly, you don't choose the Captivate for its GPS. Although, many ROMs have GPS fix and makes it usable. I can't say I had much issue with mine, it does the job it needs to do but depending on your connection, it might not be optimal. I did lose signal for a few seconds while driving but never lost signal to leaning over it tho eh
I almost want to say that the Captivate has the worst GPS out of most phones but I don't have much experience with other phones. The captivate is decent though and I think with the latest versions of JB, it seems to operate much better.

I've noticed that the google nav app maybe sensitive to the accuracy of the system time. When the clock is off by more that a few seconds, it seems to consistently report my position incorrectly, by 50 meters or more, in the same direction.
For example, when driving southbound, it will show me driving south, but 100 meters off the road to the east and this offset will persist until the clock is corrected.
I've installed clocksync app and set it to sync time every hour. It seems to help: Google nav doesn't give the persistant offset, but it does lose lock sometimes. I just toggle gps enable in the status bar and it recovers.
My gps.conf file uses the hellstorm fix. I am running GB debloated stock rom with Corn 7.06a kernel.

Yeah I think I'm gonna switch to Synergy ROM because all CM9/CM10 based roms has the same problem e.g Paranoid and AOKP, also I have problems sending MMS I don't know if its just me or ROM problem
I've been watching the forums for all the AOSP roms and mms seems to be a fairly consistent problem that I don't want to deal with. That and I need my camera to be fully functional for work. I swear by CyanogenMod and I am waiting patiently for a build for this phone.

I've been running cm10 since the first preview as my daily driver. There are some issues, to be sure, but I'm living with them. 4G data should be working just fine (just as good as stock, in my experience). It's 3G data is very erratic: sometimes it'll cut out altogether and sometimes it'll fluctuate wildly between zero bars and full bars (or from -100 to -250db). This is a known issue regarding the RIL and will hopefully get fixed sooner than later.
MMS is also a know issue. You should be able to receive MMS, but sending MMS only works once after installing the rom. Once you reboot, it no longer works.
The camera is now working just fine (stills and videos), though there may still be a hiccup or two. I use the camera for Facebook, Foursquare, etc without issue now on cm10.
Other than that, the rom is very solid. Jellybean is silky smooth, Google Now & Voice Search is working good (though after a reboot I have to make a phone call to get voice search to work again). GPS is absolutely quick to lock on and without issue. The statusbar is much more clean on cm10 (jellybean) than on stock Touchwiz (cluttered mess with unnecessary icons).
Anyway, back to your issue with data. If you're not getting any data whatsoever, either you did something wrong or you need to do a fix. You can try the Phone Info app from the play store and select LTE/CMDA, which will usually fix the no data problem. You need to be careful though because you don't want to lose your IMEI (although there seems to be a fix now).
Download phone info from the market and select cdma/lte, 4g fixed

I've been doing that and it works for few time and again it drops the 4g then I just get 1x icon or anything .
I would like to use cm10 is pretty good and smooth but I have too much problems with my 4G everything else works good.

I am thinking of buying a used HTC One S in Canada for $200-$250, and I believe all Canadian models are the S4 type.
I have never used nightlies before, so I am wondering how stable the current CM10 nightlies are on this model. I do not expect nightlies to be perfect, but I use my phone very frequently so I don't want to risk dealing with oddities like lost network, broken tethering, broken camera, etc. Even worse are things like the phone shutting itself down at night and causing the alarm to not ring.
What I need to be working in order to use a ROM as a daily driver:
- The phone part, meaning calls, SMS, and data
- Alarm clock
- Camera for photos (can live without the video for the most part)
- Headphone (for music)
- Bluetooth (for hands free calling in my car)
- Tethering and portable hotspot
- Youtube playback
- GPS
Performance is not too big of a deal as long as scrolling is smooth and core apps like the browser don't chug. I don't play games on my phone so graphics lag is not important. Basically, I would like to have an experience that at least is on the level of CM7 on my Desire Z and LG O2X.
So for those who own the S4 variant of the One S, how is your overall experience with CyanogenMod 10? Is it safe to use as a daily driver? If anything is currently broken, what is it?
Look in the cm10 thread and read people's reactions...
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Works 100% for me...I don't use tethering or car bluetooth though.
Nightlies can run fine one night and have issues the next as commits change. So, maybe not the stability you are looking for. I have had good luck with them same as el_smurfo. I have had data connection issues when screen off/wifi on with aosp. Wasn't a big deal to me, maybe will be to you. Not sure if either of them have been fully resolved yet. The next nightly will have many commits, check out the CM thread and see what folks say about it when available. But, as machoman1337 said read the OP page and last 20 pages or so of the threads. Maybe klin's aokp rom would be better to try first. Also, get familiar with how to flash on the 1s. Depending on hboot you may be fastbooting the boot.img separate from the rom. And some roms now are including the radio. TWRP seems to be the preferred recovery for most of us. Also, most of us find the flash goes better if you wipe System as part of your full wipe.

I wouldn't consider WiFi calling a factor in a roms "stableness". Its more of a feature. Cm9 is stable and GPS does work
Yeah forget about wifi calling. I think cna 2.0 is great. Cm9 release 8 and well for as early as it was released beam is fairly stable.

How about stable as in wifi hotspot? I don't use it often, but when I do I need it to work well (business). Works fine on my Vibrant, but I also have SGS4G that I'd like to see if I can get better signals on cell (especially), gps and wifi. I had been sticking with GB ROMs since they seemed the best for GPS/wifi, but would like to move to ICS if possible.
The ICS hotspot has worked basically always worked fine unless you screw with services. My wife used AOKP when we were out of town a few weeks ago. I used Barnacle and Wifi tethering for root users while on JB.
Both ICS and JB worked fine for tethering.

Good. Is there a "best" for GPS? Seems most JB have issues and several ICS as well from what I've read so far.
JB doesn't have GPS yet. That's its issue, but airfluip1 thinks he might have some ideas on how to fix it. Hopefully he'll get it working, or Erik will, or someone else maybe. But for now, skip JB if you need GPS.
ICS has 3 different options for GPS, and it's not always apparent which is better.
1) Assisted GPS. This requires having a build.prop file that tells your phone how to use GPS for this. Most of our ROMs want to do this, but end up in number 3 instead. There are directions on how to fix this if you aren't using Ultragen, or just use Ultragen which comes with this properly configured from the start. First connection to GPS may take 15-30 minutes, but it should be much faster after that.
2) Non-assisted GPS. This comes from flashing YAGF. It disables the assisted GPS and just uses the satellites fresh every time. This CAN be much faster, but won't work well in clouded/wooded/indoor areas.
3) Bad GPS. This is when 1 or 2 fail, generally number 1. The phone is told to use AGPS but it's disabled in the build.prop, or any of a wide variety of other issues. GPS will work... sometimes... but it's highly irregular.
Best option? Start with Ultragen (remember... 1.0.1, not 1.0, which had several major issues) and see if the AGPS is good for you. If you don't like it, flash YAGF and go to unassisted. Decide it's worse and hate it? Wipe the ROM (to get out the modified system files) and reflash Ultragen.
Or start modifying your own files, but be careful that your phone boots up. Don't use Microsoft Word or Notepad or Wordpad or any of those tools. Use a proper hex or *nix editor.

Just a suggestion, but the Pimp My Rom application https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDYsImNvbS5hbmRyb2d1aWRlLnBpbXBteXJvbSJd under GPS Tweaks will download the proper GPS files for location, or alternatively, you can install the GPS Status and Toolbox App https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lY2xpcHNpbS5ncHNzdGF0dXMyIl0 which you can set to download the newest AGPS File when you open it.
I am using AOKP ICS and have no issue with GPS. Was getting like 120 sec TTL for like 12 Satellites according to GPS Tools, which is not terribly life affecting for me.
Which... is irrelevant if your build.prop doesn't use those files. As I said. You can tell GPS Status to update every hour, but if the phone isn't set to use them, they're helping you as much as throwing the phone up 20 feet into the air (without twisting it). Slightly less, since they're using up storage and not getting your phone closer to the satellites.
That being said, the TopNTP app did have GPS modifications as one of its options. Not sure if it does the build.prop flag we need, but...
Wow, it seems the SGS4G may actually be worse than the Vibrant for GPS.

I've been testing a new kernel for Beastmode lately and was trying to get GPS to work. I flashed 3.1 google specific build and still no lockie. So I did what cryptic mentions in the OP and READ the notes. Well that note that I quoted up above is the thing that needs to be done for this phone to make GPS work. After I added that line to the build.prop and rebooted I got a lock in about 10 seconds indoors to an accuracy of 6 meters. Not bad for this phone at all.
Most of are ICS ROMs use CM as a base. So after going through and looking at most of their props NONE of them have that line. I don't know how it's escaped notice as long as it has. I've only tested it on CM9 8-29 build with Beastmodes yet to be released kernel. I doubt that it matters though. Flash the zip, add that line, reboot and you should be good to go.
So thanks to cryptic for this fix and one of the most detailed OP's I've ever had the pleasure of reading. And too erikmm(aka Beastmode) for the incentive to actually look into this.

Thanks ! Where can I download YAGF for a T959v ? Is Ultragen v1.8 also good or only 1.0.1 ?
Remember that you have to flash something that actually works on our phone, unless you're making your own franken-build.
Ultragen 1.01 is available in post 4 of the Ultragen thread. There is no Ultragen 1.8... at least, not here on XDA for our phone.
Regarding the GPS, it's the same YAGF2 from the Vibrant forums... it's just a generic-ish fix that may or may not placebo you.
Unfortunately, I don't understand the technical jargon regarding all the GPS options...maybe I'm better off not knowing.
However, I'm running CM9 with Proton kernel & LB6 modem and everything works (except, of course, for wi-fi calling).
No problems whatsoever with GPS. Battery drains a little fast but I have a zillion chargers laying around the house,
office, & car...no big deal.
