if your rooted you can use wireless tether if not try barnacle in the market, i have used it a long time ago and still hear that it is a good workable program just watch out for charges from your carrier.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwbtx:
yes- you can root your phone and use wifi tether. Works just fine.

probably wont work since it'll required deoxed (maybe?)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
I really want an app to lock proximity sensor on (so screen off during a call) until home button pressed, or something like that. Lately I have been having a lot of calls disconnected or accidentally placed on hold, and I think an app like this would be fantastic.

Anyone know of any?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordKitsuna:
You dont need an app this is easy to do, while in a call just press home so your on the "desktop" then just press the lock button. The screen now wont turn on regardless of the sensor
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
cool thanks for the info.. I still think an app that did it automatically would be awesome though!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter.neilmann:
Anyone found this application? It would be very useful..

Looks promising. To be honest, I'll wait to see "what you see now isn't all" to try this one, but will follow developpement, for sure.

Good luck !

Changelog

All changes as well as checksums changelog.txt

Suggestions

Have a good idea or feature you would like to see included in future versions? Want to see what could be added in? Have a look at the infin1ty Suggestions page :D

Not everything will be added, but I can offer feedback on ideas so you can get an idea of whether it will be included or not.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Thanks, I'll definitely add extras to this ;) Currently trying to merge all the different volume levels into one, mainly because I dislike having 4 volumes to keep track of.

Future ideas I'm thinking of are porting the FM Radio support across from the N1 and including this HW video decoding when it's released: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxNWmKKJ0AA&feature=player_embedded

Any suggestions on what else to add? I'm thinking of a bit of visual changes here and there too.
[Nexus S Android Development] gamin92:
Wow, this video gives me great hopes about playback of videos on Nexus S. Seems to work a lot better than MoboPlayer everyone seems to love (but why ? yes it "plays" many codecs, but videos are playing so slow...).

FM Radio support is a great thing too. I like Tunein Radio app but it uses 3g, and a real FM Radio would be perfect. I had one on Galaxy S and this is hard to do without it now.

I'm always looking for performance and battery improvements, so I think you could focus on this.

I always remove many things from roms I download, to get it as clean as possible, and to let people install what they want.

eg, in your rom, I'll remove TB, ROM Manager, google apps... Everything is on the market, I just let essential stuffs.

If the rom runs well, I'll post my clean version.

But waiting for FM Radio and video playback improvements now...
[Nexus S Android Development] gamin92:
I don't know if it's included yet, but don't think so since this is based on AOSP, but buttons on status bar (wifi, gps, 2g/3g...) is quite essential.

Also, having battery % in status bar is needed too.
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:
might as well use a CM7 base then -_- since you just requested every feature from CM
[Nexus S Android Development] xmRipper:
So there isn't any plus feature except "fast bootup".
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I'll add an accurate battery mod soon, and I can look into the status controls (it was one of my most used features of CM7 after all :p ).

I'm gonna put together a list of stuff in the changelog post come to think of it, thanks for all the suggestions.
[Nexus S Android Development] gamin92:
Not every, just 2 features, maybe just one since if I remeber well, there's an option in AOSP to get % instead of color thing. The option from CM7 just put % into color thing. Well, not sure about that, just tried AOSP 10 minutes when getting phone out of the box, before rooting and flashing stuffs.

And CM7 has bugs : go into SMS app, clic "attachments", take or make a video, clic record button... tadam ! Here's a bug !
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Yet ;) I didn't see many AOSP ROMs here so I thought I'd post an early version. Consider it a stable beta (0.1.0) :p Version 1 will be the release with major features.
[Nexus S Android Development] jamallj:
wow.. im happy to see new developers for NS.. will support you.. its a bit disapointing when seeing not many developers working on NS since its release..
[Nexus S Android Development] abumhmmd1:
will give it a try 2nt

THANKs
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Hmmm, sounds good.

There are a few things you could add:

Maybe TV-out (Galaxy S)

The bouncy thing when you scroll too far in a menu (Galaxy S)

A few extra wallpapers (Any source)

Dlna.apk (I don't remember the name :O) (Galaxy S)

The extra codecs (Galaxy S)

FM Radio (If possible) (Galaxy S)

Menu option of darker layout to save battery (My mind :3)

Hardware accelerated browser like Opera Mobile 11

Some thing, its your choice if you decide to add anything, but good luck anyway :)

This might be the best rom after a while :eek:
[Nexus S Android Development] Bandis710:
Great to see a new rom in this section, also look to be a very promising one. I have question which i hope you can answer..why are almost all real custom roms using gri40 as a base...gri40 has limited support for quite a few European languages while gri54 does have that support but also includes full support for English ...on gri40 for example there is no Dutch dictionary for the keyboard also a lot of other options and settings are half English/Dutch ..i could understand the choice for gri40 if gri54 did not support English..but maybe i am missing something obvious and is gri40 really the best choice.
[Nexus S Android Development] roshga:
seems like a ROM that is going to stay and take a good share among users!
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
GRI40 is what comes in the AOSP source as far as I can tell. I haven't seen any AOSP roms (CM7, SuperAOSP, MIUI) with GRI54. Maybe its an option somewhere, I will try and find out. I also read somewhere that a rom switched back to GRI40 for market compatibility. If needed I can try and bring over the extra language support if I find the source of GRI54.

@everyone

Thanks for the feedback and ideas. I'm sure to include some of them, also any possible goodies the Incredible S brings to GB. I definitely wont be ditching my Nexus S any time soon, I usually keep my phones for at least a year and a bit, and I will be supporting this as long as I have my phone :D

Ill update the features list in a minute, earlier today I was working on an accurate battery so that's coming very soon.

[Nexus S Android Development] iamxeph:
Goal(concept)?

Hmm, The question that I'm going to ask you is weird, but I think this is important.

What is goal for your custom rom?

Fast & Stable, as you mentioned on the title?

If so, I'm gonna use this rom for my daily use because I'm a fanboy of that words; fast & stable.
[Nexus S Android Development] Bandis710:
OK. Thanks for your quick answer. I didn't know about gri40 being the only one showing up in aosp sources (i am quite new to this) it was just something i was wondering. Keep up your great work! Very curious how your rom will evolve..
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Some good ideas there, some of which I hadn't thought of because they don't apply to me as such ;)

With the TV Out, how does that work? I've never seen it done with anything other than HDMI and Apple 30pin... do you have some kind of special USB cable? DLNA is very similar, I might try that first.

I can try and add the bouncy thing, I've gotten quite used to the glow ;) didn't like how CM had implemented it, bounced too much too quickly. I did previously own an iPod touch so I know how well it can be done (:

Extra wallpapers are definitely going to be added, suggestions for ones to be included would be helpful, although I have a few already.

The extra codecs will probably come with the hardware decoding support (when its released). Anything in particular? Eg FLAC?

FM radio is already on the list, but good to know there's interest for it :D

If I change any more apps to have a darker background, I'll definitely try to include a universal 'dark mode'. So far its only MMS.apk I think?

Do we flash this separately or will it be included in 0.2.2?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
It will be included in 0.2.2 but if anyone wants it now, there it is. Once 0.2.2 is out you don't need to flash this at all if you want Netarchy 1.3.0.3.

On another note, version 0.2.2 works fine on my phone however some of the root app related issues still remain unfortunately. Tomorrow I will try to fix them by separately redownloading su and busybox rather than the ones included in the Blandroid source infin1ty is based off. This means that I will have to delay the release until tomorrow (not enough time to compile again). Please understand that I know its another delay, but I'd rather release a good product than a rushed one.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
0.2.1 is awesome. The only issue I found which isn't that big of a deal is when you boot up the first time after a wipe, your apps aren't listed in market except for the ones purchased and it won't automatically download the apps you had
[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
I noticed that it said you are planning on porting the FM Radio from N1. Any chance that will be in 0.2.2?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I rarely use the redownload from market options, I find I just do it manually to try and keep apps to a minimum. Even so, its probably more a GAPPS issue because it includes the vendor.apk (which is the market).

As for them FM radio, there's no way I will get that ready in time for 0.2.2 :p I am seeing if I can get anything to do with FM radio working on my Galaxy S port first, and then hoping to port it over to infin1ty. So its more from GS than N1 now, like how the radio for the N1 came from the Desire (similar hardware etc). It will be included in a major release, probably around version 2 (1.0.0 is next in line) once I get it working. Not that that's a final time line or anything, just an idea.

[Nexus S Android Development] Zehlek:
Awesome I can't wait
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Can anyone who has been having issues with root based apps please try this for me:

Go into the superuser app, and manually forget all of the 'allowed' apps

Then try the apps with the issues again, and see if its any better. I'm wondering if it was caused by the move from Jame Bond to Netarchy (something along those lines was mentioned in Netarchys thread). Thanks for trying it out!

I am redownloading the su and busybox sources now and should be able to compile within the hour, with a release of 0.2.2 in a few hours time :)

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] Vandam500:
I read somewhere that clearing the data of the Superuser app fixes them. Not sure if its the same for the people that have been having these problems though.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
This is what has changed in 0.2.2 so far, just finishing the little source changes at the moment, then I will compile and upload.

Netarchy 1.3.0.3-cfs is also included, just forgot to include it in the list :p

Most of it is self explanatory, but the source changes I will explain a bit. Until now, each time I created a new version of infin1ty, I would have to manually edit some files, such as build.prop, to avoid the market issues. Now if I'm going to release the source once I hit version 1.0.0, I don't want people having to do this themselves. So I am adding in some extra bits here and there to do this automatically. I am also changing it so that the 'make otapackage' command no longer includes the recovery in the update.zip (which I then had to remove). Hopefully this will mean all I have to do now is compile then upload, resulting in quicker updates for you guys :D

0.2.2 should be out soon, not long now.

Just to get things going, what does everyone want me to try and work on to include with 1.0.0? I am thinking of modding Launcher2 to support landscape and smoother scrolling etc, status bar controls, custom bootanimation and wallpapers, private mode in the browser and (hopefully) the pre 2.3.3 GPS permissions. Most of those should be easily added in, so it should be a great release :D
[Nexus S Android Development] iamxeph:
Please test the stock browser in your rom with http://browsermark.rightware.com/browsermark/index.action

On 0.2.1, the browser freezes during the benchmark.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Can do, compiling 0.2.2 now as well.

[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
At long last, 0.2.2 is up! You can download it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?1xu3m6ughy0elr1

(Mirror coming later, not enough quota left right now)

Changes include:

Updated kernel to Netarchy 1.3.0.3-cfs

Updated APN list (CM7 commit)

Ad blocking hosts file included

Updated SU and Busybox to try and eliminate remaining errors

Updated ROM Manager and Titanium Backup

Rebuilt source from scratch with 'make' tweaks, paving the way to source upload for version 1.0.0

Please let me know how everything goes :) If there are any remaining issues with root based apps, please try clearing the data of Superuser.apk and see if it persists. Then let me know.

I will be hard at work developing for 1.0.0, which will be the next major release, so don't expect an update again for at least a week unless a bug needs to be fixed. I will still be able to provide help and support for those who need it :D

Enjoy! And just a little stat for everyone, infin1ty 0.2.1 reached 200 downloads as I was uploading 0.2.2 :D the total number of downloads for all versions combined is 450. Thanks for everyone who has tried out infin1ty :)
[Nexus S Android Development] PLEEZEFRAGME:
Does this rom work with the SLCD I9023 Nexus too?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I don't have one to test personally, but others have said it works fine. Just remember BLN isn't available for the i9023 so it won't work. Other than that it should work fine!

What is the name of the quadrant IO tweak script? Can I just simply copy the script to init.d folder?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
It is 10mountfix I believe, just check inside and see if it has something to do with quadrant in there. It definitely starts with 10, wont be hard to find. Doesn't require any extra permissions as far as I know, so push away :p just see if flashing the kernel overwrites the files left in init.d first if you want. I can't remember if it does.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] iamxeph:
I flashed Trinity UV BFS over infinity 0.2.2 and restored my 40 apps and data. Now I can't find any problems except quadrant score which is meaningless lol.

I ran 5 times and got 2329 max(I got over 3000 with infinity 0.2.1 and 2500 with stock+trinity UV kernel)

I thought some IO tweaks didn't work so I looked up init.d folder and found 5 scripts; 10mountfix, 77sdcardspeedfix, 99complete, 99nexusinit, placeholder.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus S Android Development] kfjunky:
Deleted, avoided to answer with lack of knowledge.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
77sdcardspeedfix is used by ogdobber in Jame Bond, you can safely delete that, it would be left over from 0.1.0 I'm guessing (Netarchys kernel now includes it built in, no script required). 99nexusinit is left over from Netarchy, so you can delete that one too. The 99complete one is most likely from Trinity so leave it there. I haven't checked 99complete, but I'd say it does the same as 99nexusinit. The 77sdcardspeedfix from memory only changes the default read ahead value. If you want to keep it though, go ahead, as I'm not sure if Trinity includes it.

Basically delete 99nexusinit and see how it goes first, then try deleting 77sdcardspeedfix if it doesn't work. But as you said, its a synthetic benchmark, of wont reflect in real world performance :)

I will look at all the scripts tomorrow and see if I can offer any more advice.

I know its a little off topic but there is no torch app in this rom.. would someone be able to post the torch apk somewhere
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I'll be testing Trinity UV myself today and seeing how things so personally. Just a question if I do change over, does anyone use the OC capabilities of Netarchy often? If there are I will try some kernel dev work to bring OC UV goodness over :D (inTrinity anyone :p)

Some_random, I will find a torch apk for you and post it here. If I was to include one as an optional extra in future versions (ie install to /data), would the CM7 or MIUI torch be better? I quite like the simplicity of MIUI torch, but CM7 has extra options.

Just some general advice, I was having weird issues with the browser this morning, it would FC all the time before it even showed the URL bar. I manager to fix this by clearing data in Manage Apps/Browser. I would highly suggest trying this if anyone has issues, for any app. Its probably left over cruft from previous releases that has built up, so its good to remove it.
