If constructive criticism is taken well, here's the thing.

The day I got my phone, I flashed it with Infused 1.5.0.

I work at a place that has quite a poor signal, and I went there thinking this phone might JUST be able to eke out a 3G signal out of that.

To my horror, the moment I entered, I was out of coverage. Whatever I did, I would JUST not get a signal.

I started blaming Samsung for poor antenna design, and felt a little cheated.

Then, in a few days, BIONIX 2.0 was released.

Infused was not updated in over 3-4 days, hence I felt the itch to flash Bionix.

I did so and went to work the next day. BANG. 3G signal!! And normal signal was a good 3 out of 4 bars.

I am now a BIONIX fan, but I also wish Infused does the same thing and gets the same results in the next update.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
What kernal is this running cause it just gives a number, not a number and name
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eatjello:
Was not updated in over 3 or 4 days? What rom gets updated that often? I think gtg has done a great job with updates. And my service isnt better or worse than before. I don't think he touched it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
did you read any of the changelog from nopcodex' post of the bionix rom?

"[Changlog to Version 2.0]

Added Gtg's Community Kernel"

copied directly from his thread.

you're still running gtg's kernel.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atk:
That's impressive. I'm on 1.5.0 and I can't even come close to that and I have less widgets running the background. I use Pandora and TuneInRadio for a combined 45-60 minutes each day. I can get - tops - 15 hours out of my battery. I've tried JuiceDefender, but that product made the battery life worse. Thanks for sharing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DanMc85:
just /system

i odened back to stock then reinstalled your rom... i am going to retrace to see if I can discover what addon was installed that caused it...

one quick question when I am in ROM Manager and I hit reboot to cwm it loads the green cwm now instead of red.

however, if I hold the power button and hit recovery in the power options list it boots to red... what file do i have to delete / change to get rom manager to use the red cwm as well?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Ok im going to cover a few topics. One gtg hasnt touched anything that would effect your service at all! To spite you switching roms and it being ok I dunno man ive been on infused since day one never had signal issue. Hes even stated that he has never configured signal data.

Gps issue is now apparent in the infuse if you run lbs mode ever so often it fixes it for a while, not anyones roms messing this up just a samsung issue.

And for battery issues I use pandora and use my phone hardcore, I get around 15 hours of use which is good for a 4.5 inch screen.everyone is different you guys just because one guy gets 27 hours on his phone doesnt mean you will too for the love of god if you think its the rom go back to stock and see how bad stock is you will get a whole new respect for infused!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DanMc85:
So i have come to the conclusion that all of these problems start after i still the AOSP Lockscreen and GPS add-ons that I downloaded. next time you go into CWM it doesn't mount correctly and after re ODINing I can only reproduce it after these add-ons are installed. Is there anything in these that mess with the mount locations / permissions?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Sorry, but has to be a fluke or something changed on AT&T's end. We are using the exact same modem (unless he isn't flashing modem so you stay on KD5) and I haven't messed with anything that could affect signal.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
I'll look into it. A couple of the addons haven't been updated in a while. Could have more to do with the fact that you flashed them from 3e or green CWM via ROM Manager than the addons themselves.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DanMc85:
I thought of that, so after returning to stock then back to 1.5.0, I flashed them directly by booting into the recovery to the red cwm and manually installed them... same outcome
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
Did you go into lbstest mode and change the settings in there, too? It is required to do that along with the tweak if you want the tweak to work properly.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halo0:
No I must have missed that part? What do I need to do? I've yet to use lbstest mode.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
Go into lbstest mode *#*#3214789650#*#* on dialer.

Go into application settings and change operation mode to ms based. Go into supl/cp settings, change the server to supl.nokia.com and turn supl secure socket off. Reboot phone.

I've tried doing the tweak without doing this before and it would never lock. After I did this I was getting locks within seconds.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gqfreakinrican:
Is dev tools compatiable with your rom?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halo0:
Thanks for the info.

Before I made the changes I checked and was getting 5-6 satellites, with the highest strength being 42dB. After rebooting I'm mostly seeing 2-3 satellites, with a strength up to 41dB. Sometimes it will jump up to 5, but generally the last 2 have 0dB listed for signal. I guess I will try it out in nav mode when I leave work and see what happens.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
i did this and my gps is now telling me that my phone is located about a mile away from where i'm using it from?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
what are you using to tell how many satellites your phone is connecting to?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
If your inside a building results will be the same if not worse try.it outside
[Samsung Infuse 4G] speedfreak228:
how is your battery lasting that long? in 7 hours my phone drains 50%, and thats only making a couple of calls and a few texts. my brightness is at 10%
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Could be an app or other setting you're using. Could also be your phone. My second phone had crap battery life. Third one is good.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] speedfreak228:
process manager says i have 16 services running. are you going to add the infuse 1.0 kernal to this rom in a update?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
I have 31 running right now. You're not using an auto task killer are you?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] furyinternal:
Installed 1.5.0, but was unable to use my Amazon Appstore apps.

Would let me install, but not open.

Something I did?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
Do you have the GPS tweak installed also? Should also make sure you are testing this outside. Results are obviously gonna be off indoors.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] speedfreak228:
No I'm not using one. I'm using the juice defender
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
What happens when you try to open? Tried rebooting?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] furyinternal:
It acts like the program is ready to run, but then force closes; some apps even made into the menu before crashing.

Yes, I rebooted. I uninstalled them, re-installed them, even tried moving a couple of them from the internal sd card to the external sd card without any luck.

Had no issues with Refuse or Bionix ROM's. Only this one.

Perhaps I can re-flash it later (I changed ROM's to get the apps working again), and post the actual error that shows when it force closes. Will that help?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Maybe try installing Amazon Appstore again from the website and don't restore its data with TiBu.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] furyinternal:
I did download a new copy from Amazon. But, I did not use TiBu to reload, I manually downloaded and re-installed each of them thinking that it would help - it did not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Anyone else have Amazon appstore installed to confirm? I don't have installed now, but I did previously and it was working fine.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
No problems here. I have several apps installed from Amazon Appstore.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] furyinternal:
I am not sure what I did during the first go round, but it all seems to be working now.

I am sorry. Thank you for the feedback.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
Glad it is working for you. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
Well I got the 1.5.0 installed and it seems to run very good but unlike many of the reports my battery life seems to have taken a dive with this new version. I had it plugged in all night and this morning I unplugged it and played Solitaire for maybe 30 minutes and my battery went from 100% to 48% in that 30 min time span. I have screen set to lowest setting I disabled all auto syncing turned off everything but Bluetooth for my headset. And the battery was down to 30% when I got home at 4:30 andthat was with the phone plugged in to a charger on the way home. Not complaining just sharing my experience. Was really hoping to see the great battery life reported by others but I guess it really depends on what is running on your phone. I am running Touchdown for Exchange and I know that was set to push sync real-time so I disabled that to see. But that didn't seem to make much difference. Kind of sucks having a phone for email that can't constantly check for email because the battery drains too fast. I love this phone but the battery issue may be a deal breaker for me unless I can figure something out to extend it to at least last as long as my old Torch which also bogged battery power but at least would last the whole day without having to disable all of the best features of the phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
kindly disregard due to user error :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
So the juice defender....does it kill apps or should u use an app killer also?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
Are you referring to my post? If so please enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong configuration wise as i would like to increase battery life/performance. There are many guy's saying that they are getting tremendous battery life and I am not seeing that with my device.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] schahr01:
Hi - For some reason VisualizationWallpapers.apk (AOSP) was not included. It's tiny (140KB) and provides 3 cool live wallpapers (spectrum, frequency analysis, ...). Maybe include it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] araemo:
I'm still rather new to android modding, but I made it through rooting my infuse, installing the modified 3e recovery, installing cwm, making a backup, and installing this ROM. While I like how much faster wifi connects (I still can't get ucke3 to download...), I don't relish the idea of re-downloading and re-configuring all my apps..

Is there a good way to maintain my user data and apps while still wiping the system data that needs to be wiped to move to this ROM? Maybe a way to selectively back up just those items and restore them afterwards? (Titanium backup LOOKS like it will do this, but what parts should I NOT restore? Am I wrong about titanium backup?)

Edit (again, silly 5 minute delay): I've restored my stock rom from the pre-flash backup. Everything seems fine back in stock, but I really want to avoid losing all my settings and apps when I try this rom again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atk:
We need to fix you. I'm not an expert like some users here but let's try and get you out of this. Maybe I'll learn something along the way too. When you were playing solitaire, what other stuff was going on in the background? Any synchronization? The more info you can give the better chance someone can help out.

I was having average battery life and then I realized my twitter app was pulling new tweets every 15 minutes. I changed it to manual and I'm on hour 14 and at 50%. Fill us in on your setup.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atk:
I found Twidroyd to drink a ton of juice if you have it pull new tweets at any interval less than 1 hour.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
Titanium Backup will do what you need it to do. All you need to back up is your apps. And as for UCKE3, if you are flashing this ROM, it has the UCKE3 update.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] araemo:
Yeah, I understand that it has UCKE3, I guess I made it sound like I was trying to download it with infused installed.. part of what drove me to try infused is the UCKE3 update, after reading it helped a lot of people's wifi problems.

Will titanium let me back up my SMS messages, and other app settings that are 'stock' apps? Thanks for the quick response.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] indymx:
I noticed that my battery life sucked for a couple of days after installing the rom..

It did get better though. With moderate use I can make it thru an 8 hour shift at work without charging.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halo0:
So when I left work I tried to use navigation and the phone would not lock GPS. At all. This is with the GPS tweaks addon and the lbstestdata settings changed. I'm on 1.5.0. Should I get a new phone at this point?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
It won't back up your SMS. It can back up your apps and system data. I just never back up system data because I'm not gonna restore it when flashing a new ROM, can mess things up. Any stock apps (except for the bloatware) are still in this ROM though. If there's still bloatware that you want on there from AT&T, they are downloadable from the market as well. I'm not sure if you can back up the stock apps (meaning the bloatware AT&T puts on there) without doing a full backup on the stock phone, but if you did a full backup you can select what exactly you want to restore.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
i have always backed up user apps and system data, and restored user apps and system data after flashing a rom, and my phone has never had any issues of any kind really... is that bad?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
I think it's a more of a matter of it COULD mess with some stuff. I believe I saw gtg state that earlier.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hellion_zk:
Bug Report?

Been running since beginning, currently 1.5, (Full from stock (PLUS Root) no additional programs aside from essentials, TI Backup, CWM, SU, stuff like that, plus Go Launcher EX.) noticed that wallpaper selection keeps returning to default seemingly randomly, unsure why. compatibility with Vortex live wallpaper maybe?

battery life is wicked, GPS works pretty well, one thing i did notice however is that the phone gets a bit sluggish after a few weeks if you dont perform a clean wipe, regaurdless of useage type, (Stuttering gets more frequent and consistant.) Hope i helped! if not could you help me? lol perhaps im missing a rick or two you all use that could help me ;) Keep up the wonderful job GTG!

I check back here every day and look for any new awesome things you guys may have made.:cool:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Dude, unless time got away from you and you actually played solitaire for two and a half hours, there's something seriously wrong with your install or phone. Either flash stock and start fresh or exchange that sucker.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
There's an app called SMS Backup and Restore that takes care of SMS.

Call Logs Backup and Restore (same author) does call logs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Yes, I can't tell you how many times people have pmed me with odd problems that we later found were caused by restoring system data with TiBu. Ask any ROM dev who's been at it a while and they'll tell you the same. That feature really only works well if restoring to the same version of the same ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
Ahh got it. From now on, will only backup user apps lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
Cool I may have to look that up, I'm still pretty new to android myself.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] araemo:
Gah, I backed up everything with Titanium, and then used rom manager to try and install this again, and this time, it sat on the Samsung boot screen for about 45 minutes. That was a lot longer than it took the first time, so I plugged it into my computer and ran a logcat, and I'm seeing looping exceptions. So, I pulled the battery, and tried to boot it to recovery, and it isn't working? Google isn't giving me much help - the closest thing I've found to 'how to boot an infuse to recovery' is press both volume buttons, press the power button for a moment, and let go of the power button.. that gets me to the same screen. What am I doing wrong to boot to recovery?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
You were already on this rom and you tried to flash from ROM Manager? ROM Manager is really only for installs from stock or from a lagfix disabled state. It may have worked fine for some, but most probably get what you got. I really need to make that more clear in the OP. My bad.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] araemo:
No, I went to infused, decided I needed to make an app-level backup, so I disabled lagfix and restored from the rom manager backup.

Then, I installed titanium backup and did my backup, and did another rom manager upgrade from stock to infused. This is what screwed up.

I just got done installing kies mini to get the 64-bit gadget serial driver, then using odin to flash to rooted stock, and then I had to re-modify 3e, re-install CWM, and now I'm restoring from the backup I made right before this failed attempt.

I have to say, the info and knowledge out there is wonderful, but I wish I knew why my phone didn't like the second attempt to upgrade to infused.

edit: I should also say thanks for the big unbrick download. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] speedfreak228:
i took my phone off of charge at 8:30 this morning, the pic is from 12:45 am at 6% battery. what do yall think?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Obviously you're using the phone a lot on high brightness, or you have an app/widget that is preventing proper sleep and eating battery.

Even the best ROM in the world can't prevent a bad app/widget from sucking down the battery, and it just takes one. Sometimes figuring out which one can be hard.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] speedfreak228:
im using brightness on 10%. how can i figure out which widget it is? maybe these screenshots will help. i using awdlauncher
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eatjello:
your wifi is turned on a lot.. do you really need it that often?

how often does your email/ weather update? also, do you leave pandora, or whatever widget that is running all day? why don't you end the task when you're done with it?

5 hours is terrible for a 1750 mah battery. especially on a non stock rom
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
Mine lasts all day with the brightness all the way up. I don't really run any Widgets at all though. I do keep my GPS, sync, and wifi on though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] speedfreak228:
the 5 hour thing is wrong. i plugged it for a second then remembered that i wanted to run my battery all the way down to see how long it lasts. my battery actually lasted 16hours with these results
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eatjello:
well that's good then. if 16 hours is long enough for your daily uses... then it's great. i tried juice defender... and honestly i can't tell a difference, i actually think it makes things worse. i leave my data on, and i manually turn wifi off. which is pretty much what juice defender does... why do i need another running process to do that for me?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] speedfreak228:
true. i only have wifi on when im home. ya 16 hours is long enough lol. i also turn my data off when i am in a low service area. i also have all my widgets set to manual update
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eatjello:
then i'd probably get rid of juice defender honestly, it's just extra things running in the background that you don't need.

also, where did you upload your icon pictures to change the icons? i couldn't figure out where to put the .pngs
[Samsung Infuse 4G] speedfreak228:
i used desktop visualizer for the icons. do you need the icons?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eatjello:
well there's a app in the market that lets you make your own icons. i can get the icons, i just don't know where to put them
[Samsung Infuse 4G] speedfreak228:
add widget select desktop visualizer 1x1 select the icon you want the app you want it to open
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eatjello:
you're the man. thanks

actually, is there any way you could upload your icons, except have the letters on the top in lower case?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xanatospr:
i just flashed this ROM on my phone and i like it a lot more than the stock. Took me a while to figure the whole flashing thing but i'm a newbie to Android (3 weeks) but i got it done and most importantly i didn't brick my phone.:D

Welcome and good job

[Samsung Infuse 4G] araemo:
I'm gonna try to install Infused 1.5.0 again this weekend when I have some time to sit down at my computer without my phone. If it goes wrong again, is there any way I can use adb, or any other part of the sdk, to get you useful info to figure out why?

Any idea what the longest I should wait for the first boot is?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cmjkxa:
First boot took eons. I thought I had bricked my phone but I'm pretty sure I sat for 10 min till it finished loading completely.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Hey guys i am currently on 1.5.0 how do i full reset this to 1.5.0 so just to remove my info like email but dont want to uninstall app
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MobileData:
Welcome. I hope you like the	ROM and the phone. Give it 3 days or so for the ROM to collect useful data and you should experience great battery life and a zippy ROM.

I just got this phone for 2 week, I'm new to android before i were on iphone. I rooted the samsung infuse 4g i was wondering if safe to put on this custom rom. I like to play with phone a lot below is my phone setting information. Also I already installed clockwidget with 3e successful.

Voodoo Lagfix Help

Okay so I have rooted stock on my phone. I have UCKE3, kernel 2.6.32.9. I'm not understanding about the whole Disabling the Voodoo lagfix thing. I'm so confused. I hate being a noob.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JordanED69:
what do u mean? u dont know how to disable it? or ?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
Go into cwm and go to lagfix and disable it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] b3asty:
Someone correct me if I am wrong but he's on rooted stock. You have no lagfix to worry about disabling (yet). You should be able to just flash away.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
True true, my bad. Read to far into it haha
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JordanED69:
correct. but if u mess your phone up just use odin to restore to ucke3 stock. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112555 credits go to: gtg465x

Gtg I am on the 1.5.0

if I do a reset in the privacy setting will I be on 1.5.0 fresh. I want to erase all my settings like email, apps, etc. Or need to factory reset on CWM?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JordanED69:
i think it messes up if u use factory reset on custom rom. not sure tho... sorry
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rblankman:
you have to use CWM to wipe. the other way will brick
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
I'm thinking about attempting the Infused mod. I'm all set to go. I think. I'm rooted, modded e3 recovery installed, clockwork mod installed, backed up thru rom manager. I'm not too sure about the voodoo bit and the clean wipe part. I believe the clean wife is recommended which is fine but will I loose anything important. On a side note, at the tale end of my back up I was reading the scripts as they were coming thru and I read "external sd not retected" I replaced the slock 2gb with a 16 yesterday, I copied the files over and everything seemed fine, not sure if this could cause an issue or not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
You need to factory reset from CWM. Doing it from privacy settings messes some people up.
