People please share your expreince. I like to which ROM is best becasue I am kind of tired of being stuck with gtg465x which gives me lots of issue with Internet speed.
Try miui. I like it a lot. Pretty smooth with a nice selection of themes to choose from.

Anyone try out GSInfuse? If so, how is the internet speeds and battery life compared to Infused?
Serendipity if you don't mind the occasional battery drain bug.
DlevROMInfuse for overall good stability and no battery drain bug.
With either ROM you can either have 1. good data speeds and no MMS or 2. Bad data speeds and MMS. Personally i don't care about MMS enough to lower my data speeds so i deleted the MMS APN and just left the "phone" for good data speeds.
Dlev is the best out. Awesome data killer battery and almost instant GPS lock.
hey ya'll watch this!!
Been running Dlev for a few days and I'm torn. I really like S7 but the out of the box setup for Dlev and the speed of that Rom are amazing. Battery has been excellent, not hard to theme and it has many customization options removing the need to do a lot of custom visual work (unless you dont like green as much as i do.....). It's just a visually appealing fast Rom. I'll have to give it a few more days at least to verify if it's as stable as S7 but so far I have had no issues, and the included email app version is the best "stock" email I've used. It also comes with a slick Twiz 4 clone which is smooth as silk and is pretty easily themed in itself. Not a fanboy yet, but might be if the battery keeps lasting as long as it has over the last few days. 15-18 hours of moderate use (dl's, XDA, youtube streaming Tosh, and some modern combat 2) and still usually have 20-30% left at the end of the day.
Edit: I do like to undervolt quite a bit and I havent OCd this yet so that may also be helping the battery but honestly I havent felt the need to OC this yet because it's so smooth. I dont normally OC until at least 3 days of issue free running on a new Rom anyway though.....

No ROM has been perfect for me yet, but MIUI has been the best. If any ROM has working bluetooth to connect to a PS3 controller (Stupid Samsung framework bluetooth stack...) and has video out capability I'll be using that one forever.
Right now it's either one or the other with CM7/MIUI having proper bluetooth but broken HDMI out, or working HDMI out on some of the other ROMs but bad bluetooth >_>

May I ask why you want bluetooth to connect your phone to the PS3 controller? I also have a PS3 and it seems like I'm missing out on something cool.
Cm7 for the speed of it. I had to set the APN to get data working

The reason I want both HDMI out and PS3 bluetooth is so that I can use my phone as a game console. I already have an MHL cable sitting in my drawer waiting for a ROM that does both, and then any time I want to play say... SNES, GBA, PS1 etc. I don't have to start up my computer and load an emulator that's already on my phone.
How about someone running each rom available and posting various comparisons and contrasts in a good format for side by side comparison?

I'm pretty sure DlevROM's Bluetooth works. Haven't had anyone say it was broke. I will test it when I get home.
I'm not a developer but I try to play one on XDA. DlevROM Yo!
I went from infuse to s7 to miui and back to infuse.
I found infuse with infusion kernel with 1.6 oc and healthy uv was the snappiest although battery life isn't as good as s7., most likely due to the oc. Nonetheless I prefer one of the gb roms over miui because i found they're far more stable with better hardware functionality as they're tailored to the phone. Miui has to cover so many bases I found it was spread thin and did nothing great, beyond the theming capability which was excellent.
Edit: id like to add my bluetooth works fine and hooking my phone to my car is smoother as I kept getting mount errors with miui
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I've tried most Roms out there and I have to say I like dlev rom the most in terms of speed and theming. However I always end up back on infused. It is the most stable one for me. But when I get bored I will jump back onto dlev in a heartbeat until it does something screwy that scares me away (inevitable). Good ole infused hasn't done me wrong yet. Not one complaint about it. So what if HDMI doesn't work. I wouldn't be using it anyways. Bluetooth is always perfect and data speeds are more than fine here in Orlando.

I've got a T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G with the latest Android Revolution ROM 6.6.2.
After I flashed the ROM the phone last weekend, the phone has horrible sound distortion when playing Gun Bros (lag, crackling, echoes, and distortion). However, this only happens when playing the game with SFX and music both turned on. If I turn either off in the game's settings, the sound is great and its just as it is normally. But the moment I turn on both SFX and music, the sound just starts acting up again.
I have also noticed that the sounds start distorting for some songs I have on my SD card when playing over my car's stereo via Bluetooth. I am suspecting something isn't right with the kernel. I have Boot Manager on my phone, and when I boot into Bulletproof 2.2.1 with that ROM's kernel, my sound works awesome. Something isn't right with Android Revolution ROM. Anyone know where to go and troubleshoot this problem?
ARHD gives you a few options for what kernel you install. Which one are you using? Stock? SebastianFM? Faux? If it only goes bad when playing Gun Bros I would imagine it's not fully working with ICS (like wifi calling, etc). Playing songs from sd issue sounds like an sd tweak not working right, but I personally have never had a perfect experience playing stereo sound from BT with any device.
im also having probs with Gunbros sound although it started when i was on arhd 5.5, im also experiancing mega lag and hangs with gunbros 5.5 was playable but now i have upgraded to 6.6.2 its not playable at all will changing the kernel help ? im currently using faux123, is this a arhd prob or gunbros ??
Maybe a Problem with BeatsAudio ?
Ok after playing about I have solved the freezing and lagging issue with gun bros, I set the min CPU to 600 ( was 323 ) and gun bros played perfect, it seems the system or game won't increase the CPU speed automaticly although this hasn't fixed the sound prob

Seems like the sd card issues and wifi turning on by itself are HTC related. They have released a patch which Mike1986 will likely include in ARHD 6.6.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24853373&postcount=65628
SD cards weren't properly being recognized (32gig cards showing up as 3 gigs available) and the wifi/mobile network turning on by itself seems to be an HTC bug also (as well as words being misspelled ).
Can't blame Mike1986 or ARHD if the source from HTC is flawed.
If you have to set the cpu clock min to 600mhz to get it to run properly then the os is mistakenly scaling down to the min cpu clock-in your case 323mhz-then it sounds like an issue with the app. I would try the default kernel also and see if the problem persists at default clock speeds/config for Gun Bros. If the problem persists then it's definitely an app issue.
Just out of curiosity, what is the cpu scaling/governor set to? On Demand? Power saver? Performance? The power saver setting may cause the issue you have also. If on demand isn't doing it's job maybe test it at performance.
It was set to on-demand ill have a play with the different scaling options at some point and see what happens

i am also having such problem
I have tried the stock kernel during install, and I have also flashed both faux123 and the Bricked kernels for ICS. None of the kernels made any difference, the sound was still poor with Gun Bros playback. I am starting to speculate that it may be an ICS issue and not a kernel problem.
hi, i used to have a G2 running CM7, recently got a MT4GS (Doubleshot) and was using CM9 on it, but didn't like the camera app, i loved the stock sense camera app on the MT4GS, just don't want the bloatware. so after some googling, i have found VIRTUOUS INFINITY to fit my needs with a stockish feel, but sleeker/quicker.
only thing i've come across that keep this rom from being a homerun, is the speakerphone volume is really really low... is there a fix for this yet? i am running the latest beta with OTA updater.
also, when using instagram, the "blur" effect, causes artificats in the blurred area.
once again, only real gripe i have is the ridiculously low sound i get from speakerphone when on the phone... like literally, the headset speaker is louder then the speakerphone at full volume.
love the rom otherwise, camera works great, and i don't need 1080p recording, perfectly happy with 720p.
Hi! Are you talking about the incall volume? If yes I have made a patch for this already which fixes a couple of bugs. And one of them is the in call volume.

hi, i appreciate the quick reply. i am referring to the actual speakerphone volume. i was on CM9 for a few hours, and know the speakerphone was loud enough to hear over the radio while driving. after i i went to V.I., the speaker phone volume sucks, but i am loving the rom... small compromise, but was hoping there was a fix, as in my little google efforts showed others have experienced the same thing.
i havn't tried the patch you linked me, i have used the Sound Enhancer Patch.zip from the same stickied thread though. hoping that would be the solution i was looking for, it seemed to increase the speakerphone volume slightly, but nowhere as loud as it was with CM9 or stock rom.
thinking of trying bulletproof right now, i see lots of praise on that rom too.

just tried the patch you linked me to in your reply. that fixed my problem! thanks a lot! my speakerphone is now as audible as it once was! i didn't try the all in one patch, i just tried the sound enhancer one. my problem is solved now.
i will post back with any updates, hopefully phone stays stable, i noticed after i installed the soundenhancer patch, while making a phone call and putting it on speaker to try it out, i was having the phone turn off on me, or OS crash, not sure. going to revert to backup i made in nandroid, and just apply the patch you linked me too. once again, thanks for the help!
I made both the sound enhancer patch and the all in one patch. The sound enhancer patch is buggy and I made a 2nd version of that. And after sometime I compiled all the fixes I made to VI into that all in one patch.

You need to replace the old kernel with the one included in the patch.
Judging by your problem I'm sure your S-On so what you should do is..
extract boot.img from the patch
then fastboot it into your phone.
The new kernel there fixes some other bugs which you might encounter soon so better flash it now rather than later. Else if you insist using the old kernel just replace the bcmdhd.ko in your /system/lib/modules with the one from the original VI flashable zip.

i appreciate the quick help in getting my problem resolved. :good::highfive:
Speaking of camera apps, mattlowry found one for us that works GREAT in this ROM. It adds quite a few more settings that really adds some finetuning abilities for your pictures. If you haven't already, you ought to flash this attachment.....IMHO.

was this included in the unoffical_patch.zip?
i had this flashed onto my phone already, but reverted back to original backup, and flashed the unofficial_patch onto my phone, assuming it had the upgraded camera app too.
if i am mistaken, then ill go ahead and flash that camera app back on.
thanks for the info. :highfive:
edit- just re-read the section in your sticky. will flash the camera app back on. realized it wasn't included in the AIO patch.
:good: It adds enough that I certainly was glad Matt found it.
so i've been using the phone for about a week with no issues.
rather then starting a new thread, i thought i'd post some questions up in here. since i can't post in the developer thread for the rom.
just to confirm, panoramic picture doesn't work? and slow motion video doesn't work? just tried messing with those settings today, but app would just close. just wanted to make sure it wasn't working to begin with and not a faulty install on my part.
i was looking to buy a new battery, but noticed the phone has a 1800mhz battery from an evo 3d. my girlfriend said she bought it, because the original battery was really bad. is there a better battery upgrade for me than the 1800mhz? i notice battery life is great when not using the phone, but as soon as i start browsing the net, or listening to music, it sees the battery drains almost a percent every few minutes. is there an app or way to test health of a battery?
also, for the launcher/app drawer, is there a way to make the apps scroll vertically versus horizontally?
and while i'm asking questions, anyone have a recommendation for a mobile video editing app? something easy to trim clips, and add transitions, and maintain HD quality.
other then these few questions. i'm loving the phone and rom. been real stable besides the aforementioned things. it still has artifact glitching when using the blur tool in instagram, but that i can live with.
thanks in advance for any insight/help. :highfive::good:

Panoramic picture is a framework issue so downloading a 3rd party camera which doesn't depend on htc framework should work. And regarding slow motion video it's a kernel issue. Virtuous team never really focused on fixing the kernel to fix up it's compatibility(this includes 1080p recording) so we maybe having a decent sense 4 ROM but we got a crippled kernel.

It's a sense 4 thing. Better of using a different launcher instead or fully modify the layout of the rosie.apk. But I can't do it.

thanks for the reply! i will download that app for video editing, and find one for panoramic pictures.
i just downloaded cpu tuner, and set my clock sped to roughly 1.5ghz, phone is nice and snappy, real responsive, feels like a brand new phone. is this a safe stable range to clock at (1.5ghz)? or should i run lower, it was only at 1ghz, and i was reading that some roms actually set the kernal clock speed at 1.7ish... ill probably turn it down to 1.3ish, hopefully for better battery life and overall longevity of phone.
and whats a good minimum clock speed? was unsure what it meant, but i think its basically the resting clock speed when phone isn't in use?

My phone will get a bit freaky at 1.7gHz if I run it too long. My basic range is 192mHz to 1.5gHz all day everyday. I have yet to need 1.7gHz when 1.5gHz works for everything I need it to.

Hi!
Now i`m using Galaxy S 4G Beam. It is really good and fast, i can play new 3d games easy, GPS is much better than on stock 2.3.6, but there are some problems...
First of all Media server uses about 20-25% of battery and i have to charge my SGS every day even if i dont use it hard (only 10 mins of calls and a bit of web serfing and music).
The other problem is that the camera is really bad compared with stock GB 2.3.6.
So can you recommend me ICS or JB Rom for daily use without bugs, with good camera, GPS and battery life?
Thank You!
P. S. Sorry for my bad English. It`s not my native language but i`m learning it.

Without bugs? No. With minimal bugs that may not affect major usage? Possibly, but that depends entirely on what your requirements are.
We have users for whom the lack of wifi-calling is a dealbreaker. We have users for whom lack of wifi at all is not an issue.
We have users for whom lack of 4G display (rather than H) is a dealbreaker. We have users for whom lack of phone/data connectivity is irrelevant due to no longer having a contract.
If you want to make these nebulous requests, expect an answer that directs you back to where bugs are highly reduced and a maximum of features work, especially when your only specific requirements are that things work like GB. If you want to give specific requests as to what you want... besides the GB camera, GB GPS, and GB battery life without actually using GB... we might be able to help you. Otherwise, no. You're not getting GB features without GB.

Thank you for great answer. I really appreciate it. I understand that i can`t get all features working with unofficial Rom. I have found a lot of custom ICS/JB roms on this forum. As i wrote above now i`m using Galaxy S 4G Beam, before it i was on stock GB. I just wonder if there are better roms for my needs. So here is a list of things i need to be working in a rom (the order means priority):
-Calls/SMS
-Wi-fi
-Good battery life
-Good camera/Camcorder
-Good GPS
-Good audio with earphones(i was using Voodoo Sound on GB and sound was great and on my current rom it has some annoying bugs)
-Smooth games
-Bluetooth
Things i dont need:
-Wi-fi calling
-Tethering
-Auto Brightness control
-mkv hardware decoding
Thanks in advance
I'd probably suggest checking out Ultragen then, and flashing the Proton ICS kernel onto it after. From most accounts, it's the ICS with the most combined fixes built into it, and while I don't think it has the auto-brightness, everything else should be there including the DSP manager with Voodoo Sound built in so it doesn't have the "my volume is screwed up after answering a phone call" bug. Also, it already has the AGPS fix baked in, so you won't have to edit your build.prop manually after.
Regarding the rest of it... if you don't like ICS/JB camera, use an app. If you don't think your games are smooth enough, change your governor and scheduler.

Yeah, sounds like ultragen is the rom for you. Although I can never get GPS to work.

Testing GPS rigth now with cold start near window. 1 sat in view by now (2 mins).
P. S. Can someone recommend any good camera app for ICS?
P.S.S. Is there a big difference between Galaxy S 4G Beam and Ultragen?
First GPS link takes ~10-15 minutes as it gets all its initial assist data sorted. Getting the free (or at least, guilt-ware) GPS Status app should take care of keeping your AGPS up to date and GPS linking faster. Also, should make GPS not lose its connection when switching apps... at least, not quite as fast.
I personally use Camera ZOOM FX, but I picked it up for 10 cents during one of the market sales. Was SO worth that. Probably worth its regular price too, but... eh, there are free options too. That's what I use though.
You're looking at an August 10th ROM (Galaxy S Beam TUK1) and a December 24th ROM (Ultragen 1.0.1) so... yes, there will be differences in those months. Whether they're ones you notice or care about? Maybe. Also, they each have their own optimizations...
Please try to make sure you're on the getochkn 1.0.1 Ultragen (post 4) though, not the original 1.0 from daothanhduy1996 which needed the hotfix. The original had various GPS and other little issues... the 1.0.1 edition fixed, well:
Fixes include
-working and update-able Youtube
-GPS with fast lock fixes from HERE
-Camera records video in 720p
-DSP Manager added from Audiophile ROM with voodoo sound that doesn't seem to screw up headphone playback after phone calls with PooP kernel, Thanks RaverX and let me know if I shouldn't have taken your DSP manager and used it in this ROM. (scroll to the right in the DSP manager to get the analog boost and other voodoo controls).
-Integrated Hotfix, no longer needed to flash afterwards

GPS works fine (locked in like 15 mins indoor near window). And yes, im on 1.0.1 Ultragen. Speaking about camera i should say that i have tried a few of camera app (including Camera ZOOM FX) and i must say that the quality of pictures is poor... So i can make a conclusion that on official roms sumsung uses some camera driver or something like that to make photos look really good and sharp.
But i got another problem. Voodoo sound still got call bug. In the Ultraget thread is said "DSP Manager added from Audiophile ROM with voodoo sound that doesn't seem to screw up headphone playback after phone calls with PooP kernel". But i flashed Proton ICS kernel, so voodoo didnt work properly. So i reflashed Ultragen to have Poop kernel but voodoo sound doesnt work anyway... I didnt find anything helpful in the Ultragen Q&A thread. Thanks.
Did you install the Voodoo Sound app? If so, remove it again. The Ultragen DSP Manager has Voodoo Sound built in.

Yes, i had Voodoo Sound app instaled, but then i removed it. But DSP manager voodoo sound works only until first call (same as Voodoo Sound app does). By the way, Voodoo Sound app is much better for me as it can automatically control the amplifier level. Is it ok that i can change CPU governor on the PooP kernel?
Well, with the Voodoo Sound app, your volume is always +15 (max) and the amplifier goes from -65 to +2 (or +5, if you want potential distortion). With DSP Manager, you set the amplifier level on the WM8994 page (I like +2 when I'm planning on needing volume) and then the normal volume sets the actual volume level. Half of one, six dozen of the other. In both cases, you're dealing with some volume change being set... you just have ~35 steps (it moves in steps of 2db) through the Voodoo Sound app and ~15 through the stock volume control. But if you see the Voodoo Sound volume pop-up instead of the stock, ever, you're still stuck in current buggy Voodoo Sound-ness.
And yes, you can change governors and schedulers. Just make sure if you change them and switch up kernels that you either don't have it set to go on boot or you make sure you use something that will be available on the new one. That's one of the best ways to lock up a phone I've found... set a nifty option in SetCPU, switch kernels, and every time SetCPU tries to set it after boot, the phone locks up because it can't control its clock anymore. On a positive note, popping the SD card and rebooting appears to confuse SetCPU enough to break the auto-config.
Has anyone tested out all the different CM10 versions that our out?
I've been using CM 10.1 unofficial nightly from 06-09-2013. It had all the features working that i use (wifi + BT audio for example) which is why I hadn't updated since.
But seeing the development that was made for 10.1 with 3.4 kernal, and 10.2, I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion of the most stable ROM
Thanks!
I'm using the "last stable" from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180163
volume's a bit quiet on bluetooth HSP and Audio also in phone calls, i can't use half my chargers either but battery life, speed and stability are great.
you should carry on in this thread, though, as this one is in the wrong forum and I created this one 2 days ago asking the same thing.

WiFi + bt together broke when we changed kernels. If that's important to you, you may not want to upgrade.

actually i discovered (which you may have already known) its just the 2.4ghz band. I have a 5.0ghz wireless N router which i can use with bluetooth no problem.
