Maybe it's just cm7 then or in combination with netarchy.
[Nexus S Android Development] kemsiro:
wow new dev <3

this rom seems to be pretty potential, along with nscollab (my favorite rom til date)
[Nexus S Android Development] phillevy:
I've just noticed that the white line animation when the screen goes off is not present in this ROM for me. Any way of including this as it's a quite cool effect?
[Nexus S Android Development] stavros86:
just tried rom very good job keep up the good work ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Are you sure? Its working fine for me... can anyone else confirm this issue?

If its not to much to ask, first try wiping cache and dalvik cache, if that doesn't fix it, maybe backup your existing installation and wipe everything, then flash a clean install again. If the animation isn't present there let me know (and then you can go back to your backup :p).

So just had another reboot during a phonecall. This is not looking to good. Anyone else experiencing this at all? I did a full-wipe before installing this and everything. Didn't restore any system apps or settings with TB either. Hm... I was enjoying the stock-ness and snappiness of this! I hope it doesn't keep up :(
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I had 5 phone calls yesterday afternoon (I usually make 3 a week) and didn't get one reboot. On the phone for over half an hour total. Maybe you were just unlucky? But this may help...

2.3.4 is up on the AOSP sources :D I will be working hard to get 1.0.0 final out the door with 2.3.4 in the next week. Video chat anyone? And bug fixes too, which are always welcome ;)

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] BraydenJames:
Yeah that'll be great! In the meantime I'll just hope it doesn't keep doing it, then do a full wipe for the 1.0.0 final! Hopefully I can manage till then. Haha. Thanks :)
[Nexus S Android Development] iamxeph:
1.0.0 RC still has the SU bug :confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
What exactly is happening? Absolutely no bugs on my system here, all root apps work perfectly.

Also, I have almost finished updating to 2.3.4 and I have been adding in the tweaks again (downloaded the source from scratch). I will compile various versions when I see fit to test, and if anyone wants to test them out, just let me know.

[Nexus S Android Development] iamxeph:
Same bug. TB, Root Explorer and etc. can't get su right, so I should try it several times to work.
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
I am definitely willing to test
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
I get that only with TB
[Nexus S Android Development] kfjunky:
Would love to test too.

Love your work and speed.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
For those people who want to test these testing versions, please shoot me through an email to jonathongrigg (at) gmail (dot) com saying your interested and so I can send you the links when I need testers. Thanks! I'm compiling a quick first test version now, just to make sure 2.3.4 works fine. It's still missing lots of major features however, so keep that in mind.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Getting quite a few people asking to test now, everyone who wants to is welcome but please remember they are most likely less stable than official releases and not to ask for support etc. I would love reports of any bugs you find however.

As for when a test release may be available, I keep on getting stuck at a particular part of new code from the 2.3.4 code merge, so I have to sort that out first before I can successfully compile any versions. I will, however, include the new Talk with video chat when I get the release compiled, as I have it with me already.

Now, some other news. I have had a look through the source of Renan's Netarchy Settings for UV and OV controls, but I dislike how it has been implemented, plus it doesn't work (yet, as it is a test version). I have decided to write my own app from scratch to do this job now, and I can see it all in my head. It's not that complicated, so I should be able to have a test version of that out in a couple of days with a half decent UI. It will eventually be incorporated into ExtraSettings, which will become infin1ty Settings to reflect it's nature, and future work by me.

Also, the number of downloads for infin1ty 1.0.0 RC is astonishing! When I combine both ROM Manager and site downloads, theres more than 300! In under a day! :D best release yet ;) and it's just the start :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Solved my compile errors with the new 2.3.4 changes and I'm compiling a test version now. I should be able to upload it tomorrow morning for all those testers :)

uhm quick question: Dark launcher 2? is that a theme for the stock launcher or is that this ultimate droid thingy also known as UD launcher?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I have included updated notification toggles in this next testing version which I am compiling now. I will release it early tomorrow I'm guessing. Its still missing some features but it has most of them. It will only be minor features missing, plus there are going to be a few extra little tweaks ;)

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
No, up to 1.0.0 RC it only changed the dock colour to a dark semi transparent colour. Nothing to do with UD launcher. However I am adding more new features to my Launcher2 for 1.0.0 final and test versions until then.

You sir, deserve an award. This is pretty slick looking. I'm a little too in love with miui right now to jump ship, but I have been and will continue to watch your progress with enthusiasm.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Thanks! I'm looking to refine the UI further for version 2 when I get around to it :) if you're gonna jump ship you might want to wait for 1.0.0 final, there will be some extra goodies in there ;)

Also, for all the testers, I am uploading a test version of 2.3.4 infin1ty right now. I will be heading off to bed shortly (near 10 at night here) so I need a way around this. Basically I will send you the URLs if an email/tweet has been sent but please do not try to download for at least 2 hours, and the file is 72mb (around there anyway).

It has a stock kernel as no custom kernels support 2.3.4 yet, so there are some features missing due to that. Please give me some feedback on how it goes.

[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
I'd like to test as well, if it isn't to late to apply. I PM:ed you my email :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Ah. Testers will have to wait. It was an extremely rough and terrible build. Almost unusable to be exact. Colours were distorted (I thought 2.3.4 had a new colour scheme at first) and there's issues galore. I will need to refine things before I can even release a test version properly.

Also, as testers it would be advised to make a backup before and then do a clean install at least for the first time as there will be some major changes. I will work on this tomorrow, until then good night :)

[Nexus S Android Development] buachaille:
Well i must have done something wrong I think.

Not my first time flashing a rom at all. Wiped data, cache, dalvik like I always do, and then flashed.

Booted up fine. Stuck in my gmail account info and finished setup then did 2nd reboot. Then started up titanium backup and it froze at the asking for root access bit (no SU popup).

Flashed again and this time got the popup so granted it access but didn't go ahead with the restore yet as I remembered something else I had to do first.

Started up TB again and it froze at the root access bit again. Rebooted and this time it worked.

I've now restored my TB backups and I just noticed I don't have gmail or any other google apps. Going by the OP's first post it looks like they are included, but i'm wondering now if I should go and download and flash the google apps file from cyanogen download server.
[Nexus S Android Development] l_sarra:
Sorry, but you also notice much lag in the contact card of the phone application?

I believe this is caused by the transparency?.

Can you fix this?

Thanks in advance :D
[Nexus S Android Development] randy92:
Curious

can i flash a rom to 2.3.4?? or do i have to wait awhile until roms are updated or whatever... i got so used to being on infin1ty
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
As of last night (haven't checked since then) the only way to get 2.3.4 was a patch from GRI40 stock, so I'd say wait a bit. I am trying to get a 2.3.4 version of infin1ty ready today and tomorrow which will be included in 1.0.0 final next week.

The Google apps thing is a space saving issue. I only include what comes in the GAPPS package which is basically the bare essentials. Then you download a lot of the others such as YouTube and Gmail (I think anyway). Its also to make it easier to upload on my end, including all the apps would take an extra ~25 mins to upload.

Titanium Backup is a useful but problematic app, and its starting to annoy me personally. There's so many ways when restoring if done incorrectly it will cause loads of issues on the phone and the blame gets put on me. I think I will remove it for 1.0.0 final and let users install it from the Market and see if that helps. ROM Manager and Voodoo are needed, and will stay.

As for the contacts lag, how many contacts do you have? I have around 47 so its fine for me. The black bars for the letters make the scrolling look jumpy but that's cosmetic. I will look into fixing it when I get the chance.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] phillevy:
Can I remind you if possible to make it easier to remove the Voodoo app as the paid version installs in duplicate.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Sure, I will look into that sometime today. Thanks for reminding me ;)

[Nexus S Android Development] buachaille:
I think I will try your rom again. I've never seen a dev who is so responsive to users questions. Looks like you care about the details, which should lead to a really good rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
If I build a quick version of the RC with no TB preinstalled, and voodoo in /data would you try that for me? Then install TB from market and see if issues persist. My thinking for these errors is that previously TB or Rom Manager has been downloaded from the Market and then when you log in and update them it stuffs things up. Maybe only installing them from the Market will help. This version will be the exact same as the RC in all other respects, its just to try and fix this.

As for caring about the details, I do try to make everything work properly, nothing is worse as a user when things don't function properly. And I was once a user so I know how it feels ;)

[Nexus S Android Development] deeren:
Jonathon,

The 2.3.4 built contains newer versions of gapps not yet updated on the market. One example is the gmail app 2.4.3.2 on the new update but in the market, it is still 2.4.3.1. I am sure there are others too.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
There probably are, but the only non patch apps in the manual upgrade file are the new tag app and new talk. I can easily include talk (already have done) but for the rest of the apps we need the full update for 2.3.4 then there will be an updated GAPPS. Unless someone who's on 2.3.4 is willing to pull all the patched GAPPS off for us? ;)

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
What do you know! Someone has built the latest GAPPS already, so I will include it with the testing version.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
For all the testers I am compiling another test now and will have it up this afternoon with the latest GAPPs for testing. Currently it is missing the read ahead tweaks, other init.d scripts, ad blocking hosts, changed location of status bar controls and probably a few other things. It may turn out to be like last nights build but I'm hoping it will be better :) should be ready in a few hours.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] buachaille:
I will try it if you want it tested. I have a feeling it would work. When I had the tb problem before first thing that occurred to me as a fix was to go to applications and manually remove tb and then install it from the market, but removal wasn't possible so I didn't get far with that.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I have compiled testing version 0430, just flashing it now to check that it's all good for uploading. This still doesn't have apps installed to /data as I started compiling this earlier this morning. That will come later.

If all goes well it should be up within the hour for those testers who are interested.

Edit: bootanimation isn't a good sign... same colours as yesterday which can't be good.

Edit2: Nope, just a stuffed up as yesterdays version, not going to release. I have an idea of what's causing it though...

Edit3: On the plus side, the slightly annoying Turn USB storage off (when it's already off) has been fixed :)

Edit4: FIXED :D I figured out the cause of the issues, and I will do a new compile later. It was an obvious mistake, forgot to include the Nexus S proprietary drivers when pulling the fresh source :p
[Nexus S Android Development] daffyno:
where can i find these testing versions, m8?! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Currently there only on my system, although anyone is welcome to download the source now as it is the exact same as my testing version sources. When I have this compile finished which fixes previous issues you will be able to find it and other future testing versions at http://www.jonathongrigg.com/infin1ty/testing :) I should have this one up later tonight.

But please remember these are testing versions, things will be missing and possibly bugs to be found. Please stick with the official releases if you do not wish to help out testing for those things for me (aimed at everyone else not you daffyno :p)

Also I have finished the images for a new bootanimation, which if its ready in time will be included in the testing build. I will also post it separately for those who would like it.

[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I am waiting on one last proprietary driver before I can build for 2.3.4 properly. I don't have enough time to get it tonight though, and I won't have lots of time tomorrow but I will try to have something ready to test this time tomorrow. Also seeing as the 2.3.4 kernel sources have been released I'm sure Netarchy will get onto it and then 1.0.0 final is even closer to release.

[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Wow... 1090 downloads of 1.0.0 RC alone on my server! Plus the extra 91 from ROM Manager! :D that's a lot of downloads for me! And I think it will continue to grow with future versions ;)

I may just drop 1.0.0 final in the next few days once I get 2.3.4 up to speed with new toggles, a few graphical touches and adding in all current features (plus the new Netarchy due out anytime now that kernel sources have been released). I'll sick of this beta and RC stuff :p that way I can just do one thing and release :) one thing and release and so on.

I was wondering if were possible to port the livewallpaper from sense?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Possibly, it would require the Sense framework though, as even apps on Sense like Launcher Pro can't use them (or is it widgets). Not high on my priority list to be honest :p
[Nexus S Android Development] amin_86:
Cannot wait
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Still waiting on a particular driver, plus I'm busy today so I can't really do too much, so it may be a little longer. That said if I can find the driver and start the compile I may be able to get things ready sooner, especially a testing version.

This is the fastest Nexus S rom I've used. This actually makes browsing graphics intensive sites tolerable on this phone.

A little tip for you: Download the Opera Mobile browser from the Android Market.

It features hardware acceleration so nothing lags.

I highly recommend it.
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
if you want that opera collects EVERYTHING you are doing, you are right. but the fact, that they put every traffic fro the browser to a http proxy is not funny i think..
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
Only if you choose to activate Opera Turbo, otherwise it won't go through a proxy.

Too bad the Hebrew/Arabic/RTL fix is still not implemented... I really prefer your ROM over CM7 but I need this fix.

Have no idea what CM is doing to fix it but I'm sure it's open sourced.
[Nexus S Android Development] buachaille:
correct. if anybody is wondering why opera Turbo traffic is routed through a proxy it's so the data can be compressed. very helpful ifbyou are in a gprs or edge area.
[Nexus S Android Development] gamin92:
I love you people ! How can you care about things that can be collected by Opera, since you have a smartphone, even worse, a NFC chip is inside. What do you think, you're walking anonymous ? Every move you make, every thing you search through your phone is known.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
What exactly needs fixing? Is this the keyboard? Because I have included a total of 11 dictionaries ready for 1.0.0 final, which I'm sure must have something. If that's not it can you just let me know what it is and I will put together a list of translation related things I should include.

Also, just got back from my day out today, and I don't feel like doing too much coding/fixing work tonight so hopefully I will have some time tomorrow. Still hunting down this missing driver...

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] liorry:
Keyboard is not a problem... there are Hebrew keyboards on the Market.

Also, since Android 2.2 the system supports UTF-8 encoding so I can see Hebrew everywhere.

Hebrew/Arabic are Right-To-Left languages. what's need fixing is the backwards appearance of the letters in several apps, like the gmail app.

Also numbers are messed up - 54 instead of 45 for example.

Another thing it the RTL alignment...

On CM - it's all fixed... but the ROM is not as good as yours...
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I will have a look through some CM commits and see what I can find. You will have to test these though, I won't know what's right or not.

Also, my voltage control app is coming along nicely, just testing a proof of concept version now, and yes it works. Now it needs the complete code, set on boot features and a decent UI and I'm set ;)

Good news everyone! (I sound like the professor off Futurama :p) Vandam500 has been able to get me the missing proprietary driver I needed to build 2.3.4! This morning I will try and add some minor additions like the hosts file and camera, whatnot, then compile while I'm out for a friends party :) plus the fact that Netarchy 1.3.0.8 for 2.3.4 is out, and I'm almost ready for a full on 1.0.0 final release! I will probably leave out the UV app until its sorted so 1.0.0 final testing will come today, and final should drop some time tomorrow :D

Ok, I have all the current features ready to go for the 2.3.4 compile, although I'm looking for the compact status bar tweak from CM at the moment as I want to include that :)

I'm thinking that if all goes well, I may not even need to release a testing version! This could be it! 1.0.0 final at last :D
[Nexus S Android Development] dan13l:
Do you still want testers? Think you're going to exceed your previous download record with this one. People hungry for custom 2.3.4 ;)

[Nexus S Android Development] iLovPieNCake:
How have you improved picture quality ?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
If its release worthy (ie no missing things, which there shouldn't be) then it will just be released normally. If its missing something but still working then it will be available for public testing ;)

Also, TB, ROM Manager and Voodoo Control are being installed to /data this time. If you have had troubles with them in the past, uninstall the included versions and use a Market version. This has been the cause of many issues in the past, as the market tries to update them and fails etc.

Improved the compression quality of JPEG images ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Adding in the compact carrier will take a bit of extra time unfortunately, as Extra Settings is coded slightly differently to CMParts which it was designed for. It will still be coming though, I will just have to do a bit more on it then I can start the compile ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
Do you think it maybe released tomorrow?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I'm not sure what time zone you're in compared to me, but if all goes well it should still be today (my time). It's only 10:20 am here :)
[Nexus S Android Development] randy92:
cant wait for the release! :D 10:40 here
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Ok guys, I'm back and ready for working on infin1ty for the rest of the day ;) I just need to finish adding in the compact carrier tweaks to infin1ty Settings then I will start the final compile. I have installing the apps to /data all sorted, and have everything else ready. Here's the plan for the afternoon

Finish compact carrier tweaks in infin1ty Settings [~20 mins]

Compile source code [~100 mins]

Create update.zip with extra /data stuff [~30 mins]

Quick flash and personal test [~15 mins]

Upload :D [~50 mins]

That should be finished in around 3 and a half hours if everything goes to plan. It could be quicker, it could be slightly longer, but that's the estimated time. I'm expecting demand to be huge here, being a custom 2.3.4 ROM and all, so please be patient if downloads are slow ;) If anyone has access to a mirror that they could lend for a bit that would be great!

It's almost here :)
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
And the bounce effect? ;(
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Not here yet :p can't be bothered right now, I want to get 1.0.0 final out ;) then I will see what can be done.

Should I create a publicly add-able list that people can vote on and suggest features etc? That way I can have them all in one place as well as being able to see where the demand is coming from etc :)
