Anyone using ICS still? - Samsung Infuse 4G

I'm wondering just in case GB starts to lose support from app developers. I'd like to know if ics is 100% stable at this point, and all features work. I'm all about stability and having everything work the way it was intended.
Bling is cool, as long as it doesn't introduce glitches and hitches.

Ummmm....ICS is pretty dead I dont know if anyone still uses it.....JB is more stable now I have no issues with any app

Only issue with both ics and jb on the infuse is camera stuttering on video recording...actually ics may have a couple mote bugs

Well, GB is pretty dead too, according to some here. But at least it's 100% stable. (at least the revenant rom is) But after perusing the JB threads, it would seem that there are still issues to be ironed out. It may be "good enough" for some, but good enough is not good enough for me.
I guess it looks like I'll be staying with GB for as long as possible. The only reason I upgraded to GB was because some apps no longer work on Froyo.

If you actually flash a Jb ROM I'm willing to bet you won't find something you use daily that has any issues I'm using carbon nightly and I don't have any issues....honestly GB doesn't have really any features I couldn't be on GB anymore

OK, please elaborate more. On JB, does flash work? GPS? And what go you mean GB doesn't have any features? I mean, GB works 100% as far as apps and functionality so I'm confused. It does what I ask it to. What would JB give me that GB doesn't? Are you talking about bells and whistles?

if by flash you mean torch yes gps works everything works that you would use daily im on carbonrom and there is nothing that i use (and i use everything) that doesnt work or has bugs

OK, but what does JB do that GB doesn't from a functionality standpoint?

I still use GB. I would not describe myself as a heavy user though. I use the phone mostly for the call, text and camera function.
I like my gmail, calendar and contacts sync'ed.
I don't have all the fb, twitter etc
When I tested out JB, I found a few things I liked:
1. gtalk updated better.
2. gmail had other options. Scrollable widget. Calendar had scrollable widget also. Calendar has more detailed display
3. Chrome worked. Native Browser was better.
4. Google body (now defunct-ed) worked..it needed a 3.0+ platform.
5. I don't use it but others like the theme engine.
6. The weather update on the lock screen was a nice touch.
7. The quick launch from the lock screen was neat...although I don't usually use the lock screen.
8. Back up and restore apps is more comprehensive.
9. Google Now and Google Keep is neat to try.
There were others but I forget...
For my phone, I still like the simpler GB interface and the battery life (less processes running means less battery usage)
fwiw, Entropy said his cm9 was stable..and "dead" too. Supposedly he had a more updated one but never release. Supposedly, aremo/he may have a different cm10?..I'm not sure though...
My final thoughts...to each his own...find something that you like...

Thanks for the info. I don't see anything on that list that is a must have though. Hopefully, GB will be supported by app devs until next spring when my contract is up. Carry on.

yeah..nothing must have..just interesting to test.
jb may be a step up in the most updated device designed to run it with support from chip set manufacturer. (ex: gn2, sgs3, sgs4)
for the most part, i prefer a tablet or pc...my phone is mostly a phone/digital assistant...but i suspect i'm a minority here

Well...unless it was fixed recently...camera is still wonky is it not?

But you can't say gb doesn't really have any features when they do have a fully working camera...just saying

But most people realize they're not going to be shooting hollywood movies with the thing. I'm not complaining though, it's good enough for what I need.

I thought ICS was the only version for the infuse with working full encryption?

I have 10GB of organized GB Roms/themes, ICS Roms/themes(lost files ), Tweaks for GB/ICS, all old recovery stuff, and 3 open source kernels Samsung had released. I have talked to 3-4 forum moderators for approval and I will be creating around 150 links for the infuse community for lost/broken links and there may/may not be broken but will all be on dev-host 4 u guys. I am hopping this will help u guys b4 I leave. I am hopping to make this post within the next week or 2 in the general section. Cheers :thumbup:
I am also going to be posting all the links to EVERY official post
Note* this is all I have left, I had a partition failure and I lost all I had but these files due to being on DropBox, I am still hopping to retrieve my missing files and Ken has been helping me all the way!=)

PyroIce Tips, Tricks, and Help Guide. -Please Post Your Own Too :D-

I've made PyroIce my new Daily, and we all know it has some bugs. So I thought I'd start a thread to help Unclutter the fourm.
Here's the first thing I've found out.
- Wi-Fi Networks that are WEP/PSK locked can be connected to without having to Manualy put the name in.
Nova Launcher is a Great ICS Replacement Launcher. It can be downloaded from the Market. Or found on XDA as a flashable Zip. That makes it a system app, and allows widgets to be accessed from the launcher.
It has homescreen effects, drawer effects. Custom Grid Sizes, and all widgets are resizeable. Its the ADW of ICS, and is better than CM9's Launcher for 4.0.1.

to be honest, its a great rom. for people that know how to deal with beta roms. if your lookin for a grief free rom, id use another one. i use this but i dont mind the small issues and can deal with them. the user interface is ICS, so the same as ICS yeah? same and gingerbread.. no, lil different. more user friendly i think.

Good, the only reason I won't root my girls phone is cause I don't wanna fix it.
Does anyone know if you can unlink the notification volume and ringer volume in ICS?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk
first off, i think this rom is simply great, considering that ics is on very few devices right now, and that our phone is a bit slow in general with development (nothing against all the devs on this phone, cuz what they have made are all really good)
two questions:
does anyone know why the camcorder app is limited to 720p recording? it's definitely not a big issue, but this camera is considered to be one of the best, seems like a shame to waste it.
also, any way to fix the htc dialer showing up in the call and to answer a call you have to unlock first?
how's everyone's battery life doing? mine's much better than when i had cm7 on it
I was looking at 1080p but for some strange reason libstagefright camerasource detects that 1080p is not available. Coudlnt binary hack that, and no idea why that happens.
You can use fullscreen caller id to let you receive calls without unlocking, or can use widgetlocker from market with security set off.

gotcha ill switch over to the non sense version now, thanks for the quick reply.
Posting here because I'm still a "New" user and cant post in dev form.
I'm running PyroIce Sense and I cant view any flash websites. Anyone else having this problem? I've tried re-installing Flash, Dolphin (wont work on stock browser as well), and reflashed the rom.
Any ideas?

If i enter full screen browser hangs. if i zoom in, it will play, but it's very choppy with elements of my wallpaper mixed in, sometimes it's the notifications bar that draws itself into the flash. It's very odd.

[Q] Best rom for efficiency?

Just got my mom this phone and i got the rooting bug, lol.
She's basically just using it for web browsing, text messaging, and taking pics.
What's the best rom out there for efficiency? I want to take off all the sprint bloat & get some better battery life.
Would also like a rom i can add themes to.
You may consider the combo in my signature.
Works well on me.
Very stable with no reboots.
It has the 4G version as well unless I'm mistaken.
My usage is similar to your mom, though.
No gaming at all.
As for theming, I don't know if this ROM can be themed or not as I just like the way it is.

Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
Probably want to keep it stock and simple, if you are going to root and theme it it'll make it more frustrating. In fact, setting up for other people, I'll enable root for certain apps and then set it automatically deny.
I have the perfect combination for you:
Kang CM7: http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigglebread/?id=crespo
Google Apps: http://goo-inside.me/gapps
Stock Launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11421338&postcount=3
CM7 themes:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.david1171.minimalbread
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.theme.sense
CM9 Nightly 20120310 is the best until now from ICS roms
Can we update this?
After so long, i was finally able to root. Well, not able..but i got lazy and didn't bother with it.
This one is super basic and I think the best for the Nexus S. Fast, stable, and great battery life, 1%/h during night with wifi on

Post ICS launch, which ROM are you using and Why. ICS or JB

First, thanks to the Devs working on the CM9 and CM10 ROMs. They are looking good.
I just wanted to see which ROMs you guys were using primarily now. I jumped from GB right to CM10 from dr4stic. I'm pretty happy with it so far.
Are you guys using JB, or sticking with a flavor of ICS?
I'm using Blaz3r 4.0.4 by ptmr3 and I couldn't be happier. I like TouchWiz, and a lot of the stock widgets so this one fits me just fine.
Oh that's right, I forgot about TouchWiz
Stock ICS by tthaz777, I love it. I miss Tweaked (GB), but I want to run ICS and need wi-fi calling. I also loaded CM10 but downgraded back to 4.0.4
CM 10 great built ROM with no bugs and a full jelly bean experience!

Well, I will use Blaz3r by ptmr3 first. I have not even opened my Blaze yet, as I am waiting for the skinomi screen protector to arrive. I will also try the CM10 rom.
Blaz3r currently. Very happy with it.

Blaz3r sounds pretty good, I will try it out when I get a chance.
Right now I'm using tthaz777's debloated stock rom. Thinking of trying out CM10 for some JB goodness.

I've been using Blaz3r since it came out with Apex over top with perfect keyboard n compact qwerty mode. Drove 300 miles today used GPS, Looked at Google now 20 times to see how far away I was from home. I used the bluetooth to talk and play some tunes as well. I really like using a stock camera and the Samsung messaging is sweet. Only thing I can say if you use this, it seemed to take longer than 10 minutes to settle in ( I also have gone back and fixed permissions when adding apps) +1

Funny that I used ...ahem... used to have a skinomi screen protector on my Blaze but for some reason after 2 months in it started developing weird bubbles/lines that weren't present even days after installation so I took it off. That was over a month ago now and no scratches. I'm unsure if gorilla glass is used on this phone as I can't find any conclusive evidence on what it is. Maybe I got a bad skinomi, as my old exhibit and my wife's sensation have skinomi's and are still perfect. Just make sure you are ready and have the phone spotless or you will see those same dust spots for a long time lol.

I was really impressed with CM10 but sadly the random MAC address issue along with the lack of wifi calling (a CM issue in general) made me go back to Blaz3r. I'm sure CM10 development will chug along and it's hard to deny the feel of it - I may be going back to it soon (especially once hardware key notifications are fixed - I miss a notification light). You will have bugs/slowdowns on Blaz3r until getting titanium on it solely to remove Nova launcher. A reinstall of nova fixes it and I'm sure this is something that will be fixed (along with adding a default music player) with the next version. There are a few customization options but I would like more - kind of like the amount of customization options in DK on GB lol Development overall is really great here and there are plenty of options considering how long it's been since source dropped.

Help me choose a rom

Number 1 for me is stability. I am looking for a Rom that fully works or for the most part everything is working. Full camera functionality/flash, Sending and receiving SMS & MMS, GPS (I use navigation often), making and receiving calls, all the basic stuff that work on stock. Stability is my main objective. Second would be battery life & fluidity. Everything else like customization options is a nice bonus
I expected the Jelly Bean OTA to be better than it was. I did a factory reset when I got the update to make sure my phone started fresh. Even formatted internal and external SD card. I just expected a better experience. They took away some things I loved and added some things I don't like. But the main thing that bothers me is the occasional stutter/lag. And I notice battery life is worst on the JB OTA. I thought JB was suppose to be refined, it's not totally buttery smooth like they promote it to be. At least not on the stock Verizon variant of the GS3.
I am looking at "The Executioner" or the CleanRom/CleanRom Lite Edition. Any opinions or thoughts by people who have ran both would be appreciated!! I realize roms, as most things in life are a personal preference but I'd still like to get some opinions.

I take it the rom has no stutters or occasional lag like the stock touchwiz.

I use the CM10 Nightlies. I update about once a week or so. And I have had very minimal issues. When I did run into any, I just updated the next day and the issue was fixed. And you can report bugs to the developers to help expedite the fixes as they come up. Not to mention no more touchwiz, *Gag*

I heard CM roms were great for customization but may not be most stable? I was thinking of trying it anyways. I like the AOSP or pure Google look and feel. I gotta think about it I don't know if I'll have the time to flash an update every day for a bug fix lol. Thank you for the input

if you want AOSP look and feel but with touchwiz stability, flash beans rom

I forgot to ask, thing that bothers me most about the recent official JB OTA, I am required to have my GPS turned on to refresh my weather Widgets. Being connected to the net is not enough anymore m after the update, now I need GPS on for some reason? Is this the case for the Executioner Rom or no?

Who cares if there's other threads about the same thing? It's called a forum for a reason. Save your 2 cents for helpful advice.
Anyway I'm thinking of switching to executioner rom also. On synergy now.

That's sick! What are you undervolting it to? And you still said the Rom was fast, I might have to roll with your set up.

Who cares that the mods hate it... Isnt this what the forum is for? To talk about the galaxy s3? At least its not in the wrong section

People spend hours putting together guides, doing reviews, etc. It's frustrating sometimes to see how little effort some people put into utilizing the forum.
It works both ways. These boards would be alot less cluttered if people searched. We're all guilty of it, I'm not preaching. Just know where he coming from.
For example there's a great guide in the android development forum that compares many different roms.

[Q] Touchwiz Vs Stock

So I have been on Touchwiz 4.1.2 (AxisM RLS 21) for a long time and when the GEL laucher apk came out I installed it on my phone and I fell in love with it as soon as I got it and that got me wondering..."What features of Touchwiz do I actually use?" If I dont use any features of Touchwiz then I want to flash a 4.4 ROM (most likely Cyanogen Mod) on my S3. So my question to you is What features are specific to Touchwiz (4.1.2) that arent in Stock (4.4) or on Cyanogen Mod?

What is Knox? I thought 4.3 was focused on Galaxy Gear compatibility...

not just that but knox is like a sandboxed environment essentially separating 2 parts of your phone
for like example 1 work and 1 for development if one of them gets compromised it wont affect the other and you can manage things like remote wipe etc

You lose all of the Samsung branded apps, Kies, and the questionable smart stay function. In return, you get complete control of your device. I have tried a few times to go back to a TW rom in the last year (when CM development slows down and I get bored), but it always feels like going back to kindergarten...
I am on sspencer10's 4.4 build and love it. I even am using the new ART and enjoying the best battery life and smooth function that I have ever had. A few CM options have yet to be thrown in, but these guys are moving fast, and this is my daily driver since last week.

Liquid Smooth
After months of fearing the rooting process, I pulled the trigger last night and rooted my phone for the first time. I flashed a rom (Liquid Smooth to be specific) and I'm loving it. You should definitely get off of TouchWiz as you'll never want to go back!

I saw the OP and I saw that the changelog hasnt been updated in a while. If you dont mind can you tell me what are the bugs and whatnot on it?
The OP in that thread is current. He just does not build everyday because CM does not do a lot daily. Others are cherry picking a lot to add features; they also revert a lot of stuff they cannot get to work. Right now, the camera is not ultra reliable, but everything else is great right now. I use nova, tibu, ROM manager, es file explorer, etc. for utility. 200 or so other apps are stable as well.
