Have questions that aren't technical about Hellraiser? Ask em here.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vicn77:
What is Hellraiser? Any links?

I figure it allows you to put i9000 roms on it, but only certain kinds?

Does this allow me to put a fully functional GB rom on my Infuse? If so, how's this different than your work with porting over CM7?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] NeoS:
Nice to see another dev is using a Q&A thread. :) stickied.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] darkjz:
Hey man, Great Work!

I was wondering, does HellRaiser works with 100% of the Infuse's hardware?

I'm asking because I am aware you've been fixing the Bluetooth/GPS modules to bring that functionality to CM7.

So, is hellraiser a 100% hardware thing or does it have the same issues with bluetooth and voodoo sound driver than the unofficial CM7?

Thanks in advance and apologies if this question has been addressed somewhere else.

Hellraiser

Hi, Have you taken the link down, I clicked it a few times but it says the address cannot be found on media fire.

Thanks :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
There's more detail in development. Read there, ask here. :)

Define "fully functional"? With the exception of HDMI and data speed issues in some areas, ROMs derived from the Rogers Gingerbread release were fully functional.

Since the low-level video/audio/etc stuff from Hellraiser is derived from that same ROM, the same limitations apply.

But it lets you take any i9000 ROM based on the Samsung Gingerbread release (tested with an XXJVQ-based ROM) and use it on the Infuse.

It will NOT work for getting anything CM7-based from the i9000 to work. CM7 has a very different low-level architecture than Samsung ROMs (which is, for example, why Bluetooth still isn't working in CM7 on the Infuse.)

I'm sure LB will still be working CM7, but every once in a while you need to take a break and do something else. LB, gtg, and Mikey have been working this off and on for a few weeks. CM7 was getting more focus, but there's only so much bashing your head against the CG2900 driver that a man can take before you go do something else for a bit. :) Hellraiser is the result of LB taking a break from Bluetooth.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
It works AMAZING. It opens up a world of i9000 and Captivate roms for us to flash.

So far Blockbuster, Mosaic, and Darky's worked perfect.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] carloss86:
Hellraiser

would somebody mind posting the full mediafire link for hellraiser please ... for some reason the is.gd link isn't working for me. Ty.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Yes. It's quite a bit easier to go from Samsung ROM to Samsung ROM than it is switching over to something that's completely open source like CM7. Samsung uses many closed source drivers, which we can drop into other Samsung ROMs based around the original GalaxyS platform, like the i9000 and the Captivate.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] darkjz:
Thanks

Makes sense... Thank you for your quick reply and development man! You and your team gives excellent value add to our phones!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kernodle:
Would love to hear feedback from people on why they like the ROM they have chosen.

Right now Infused 2.0.2 has been my ROM of choice because it's fast and I can't find a single thing wrong with it but if there's a compelling reason to check out some of the i9000 ROMs I might do so!

Also kudos to LB this is a really clever idea
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deserted1:
I am running the one LB was running, Sensation. I gotta say its soo much smoother than 2.0.x.... I was on 2.0.1 through 4... and they just didnt seem to be right.. gtg knows his stuff but until GB is official on our phones this is the next best thing right now. battery life is awesome also, been unplugged since 3am its 1pm now, with calls, bt, wifi im at 75%
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lordlittlebrooks:
Infused is one of the best roms that I've ever used, fast, great battery life. But, I had a Captivate before that. And just seeing those Cappy roms on our big screen is neat. Nothing life-changing, just neat. If you're a tinkerer and enjoy playing around with roms, this is a must.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kernodle:
If I do a backup of my current setup (Infused 2.0.2 and bedwa GB kernel) from ROM Manager will that give me a complete snapshot of the phone that I can return to if I don't like SensatioN + Hellraiser?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
I would say that yes, if you reboot into recovery manually, and took a backup directly in Red CWM it would. I wouldn't trust Rom Manager to do it for you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
I get this error

THE PROCESS ANDROID.PROCESS.ACORE HAS STOPPED UNEXPECTEDLY. PLEASE TRY AGAIN.

why is this poping up?

thanks ppl and if this has been aswered disregard my post and I will keep searching for the answer
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Can't really help without more information, but, I would say, you forgot to Wipe Data.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
nope, did not forget. flashed an i9100 rom, that's why. lol

I don't know how i manage to flash it and make it work. so I'm downloading the rom from the op.

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eric3781:
Sensation ROM + Hellraiser

Installed Sensation ROM + Hellraiser + Infusion GB. Power button menu does not have Reboot, Recovery, etc...only Silent, Data Network Mode, Flight Mode, and Power Off. Any ideas??
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
They have to be enabled. Open Theme Settings app, Phone Options dialog at the bottom.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rblankman:
can we flash over beta 4

I am using Sensation with Hellraiser beta 4. can we just flash beta 5?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
You should technically be able to, but for some reason the bootanimation is not transferring for everyone. If you can live without the custom boot ani, it's fine. If you really want it, just unzip Hellraiser and chuck in the system/media/bootanimation.zip into /system/media on your phone, or, you can simply put in a custom one of your choice in /system/media as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Should work fine.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
Would love to give this a try but I cannot find any info on Hellraiser? Is there no love for someone who doesn't know everything in the world about Android hacking and Linux? I mean I have searched all over and tried everything I know to find it or anything related to it to research and learn more but can't seem to find anything related to Hellraiser. I mean I know I am not part of the "IN" crowd but can some at least post some useful information for those of us who are willing to read and learn more???? Very Frustrating not knowing all there is to know about this stuff but more than willing to put in the effort to learn if someone would be kind enough to share a little knowledge or link to more info. Thank you!

{EDIT} I just went back and read LB's OP again and correct me if I am wrong but his download is the Hellraiser download and I just need to download something like Darky's ROM and then follow the directions he posted?? {END EDIT}
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Um. Hate to say this, after this diatribe, but.. did you actually read the first post of this thread? With the LINK to Hellraiser at the bottom? Just sayin...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
The thread on Hellraiser is in the dev section.

You won't find any info on it anywhere else - because it's an arbitrary name LB came up with for his package. I think it's derived from "hellride", because that's what you were in for if you played with some of the earlier packages from a few weeks ago. :)

The description of what Hellraiser is in fairly generic terms is in the first post - it replaces the lower-level system libraries of a ROM with the ones from the Rogers Gingerbread release.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kernodle:
Is there a way to get specific stuff installed that isn't part of an i9000 ROM?

Specifically - I'm running SensatioN but I miss the collapsed widget list from Infused (i.e. if Beautiful Widgets has 10 widgets, it doesn't take up 10 spaces in the press + hold widget list)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
With all due respect Mr. LB I do appreciate your efforts as well as all the other devs doing what you do for the Infuse owner community. But we all are not talented programmers like you. So being just an IT Engineer by day and knowing just enough to get myself in trouble I always look for information to increase my knowledge before I jump in head first. Your OP was somewhat vague to someone like myself so delved into the forums and Google looking for more information so i didn't ask stupid ridiculous questions. I am not a kid and don't have tons of free time on my hands to play around with my phone all day long. I just want a better phone than what you get over the counter and you guy's always seem to make that happen. Again I thank you for your very hard work making ROM modifications and other phone hacks so that we can realize what our phones are really capable of.

To answer your facetious question I edited my post {assume you didn't see that} and stated I did go back and re-read your OP and asked if what you posted was indeed Hellraiser and that I only needed to find a JVQ compatible ROM and follow the rest of the instructions. Not a brain teaser just a simple question from a user who doesn't know it all.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DevilDogAK:
Flashing Hellraiser Beta5 now. Updating from Beta4. Crossing my fingers. Man this is exciting. Will post later how it worked. Great job linux!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DevilDogAK:
Flashed Beta5 as an update and so far everything seems fine. Thank you linux for enabling my habit:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
I apologize if you thought my reply was brash. No, I had not viewed your edit before replying. In either case, yes, to answer your question, yes, you will need to find a i9000 JVQ based rom that is to your liking, and immediately flash Hellraiser. You will find that the OP does have a link to the development thread, where you will find the download for Hellraiser. This thread is a mere discussion of questions not related to the development, or bugs of Hellraiser, such as questions like yours.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Boomwaller:
Quick question on how to up 4g speeds can I just change the ril from 1 to 2 and gprs from 10 to 14 in root explorer? Thanks in advance and amazing what you did loving it!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SNadler:
I am noticing the framework-res.apk files are too large for the UOT Kitchen to work with on most of the roms. Is there any way to modify them safely or another walkaround that anyone knows of? :confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
I loaded "Sensation" because that is what Mr. LB used as his reference. Everything is working great "so far" except GPS, Can't get it to see more than 1 or 2 sats and it won't lock.

Infused 1.53 used to see 11 or more at the same spot in my house by the window but I get nothing with Sensation after almost 15 minutes. I've cleared and reloaded A-Data.

Any suggestions on getting GPS back to decent shape? I'm so tired of jumping back to Froyo already. I'd like to stick with this. :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nervad:
wow thanks LB also had same question. Great work on this much appreciated
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nervad:
I did and it helped me in my area.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SNadler:
I have installed the same rom and get 11 sats very quickly. Did you try to clear AGPS data from within GPS Test? :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
I got a GPS lock literally within about 5 seconds. And I live out in the sticks. I'm running the same ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Not sure why you would be having his issue. I can get a lock on 6/10 sats inside the house within 10-15 seconds using GPS Status from the Market.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 3GBeyotch:
I flashed Beta5, which thank's Linux for this, and no matter where / what boot ani I attempt to use I get the word android on the screen and that's it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
It should be /system/media/bootanimation.zip or /system/media/sanim.zip

It depends on if the custom bootanimation binary flashed correctly or not, so give both names a try.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Same here.

Heheh. Yeah we were debugging this last night. Somehow the bootanim binary got replaced with a Samsung-mangled one. It DOES support standard custom bootanims, but they must be in /system/media/sanim.zip, not bootanimation.zip

This will hopefully get fixed soon.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 3GBeyotch:
Changed it to sanim.zip did the trick - thank you!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
Yep ... just went outside in the open. Sees only 5 sats where I used to get 11 or 12 and locks on none.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
Did you make any changes to GPS.CON or SUPL etc or leave it as it came from the ROM?

Just tried RED CWM flashing back to Infuse 1.53 and got a boot loop but was able to reload this ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kernodle:
I tried a bunch of ROMs last night and had fun messing around :) However, the i9000 ROM "scene" seems to consist of doing nothing but adding lockscreens and changing the colors in the pulldown notification area.

IMO, Infused 2.0 with LPP and WidgetLocker is the best and most customizeable experience for the Infuse and I've gone back to that, but I still thank LB lots for giving everyone the option to do what they want! Kudos!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
No changes here. I used GPS Status and Toolbox for my tests.

There is a lot of "crap" in the i9000 scene. That's part of why I'm happy that over here, the devs coordinate and there are only a handful of ROMs that get all the debugging effort and focus. Many of the alternate "ROMs" over in other forums can be achieved with CWM-flashable addons, and IMO, those who want to start doing "ROM development" should start with CWM-flashable addons first and grow from there.

There are some good original polished ROMs out there though. I've heard good things about Darky, while I think I've seen some mild Serendipity VII incompatbility reports, you can expect Mikey to debug those away pretty quickly, and SensatioN is pretty nice.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Just left things as is.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
same issue here but I thought it was an issue with darky's so flashed another rom..haven't tested it yet

currently on continuum v6.1....going to check gps when I get a break here at work...

linuxbozo ..as for hellraiser I have had no noticeable issues at all...gladly sent you some beer monies
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DynamicRam:
@LinuxBozo

can you do the same thing for cm7 i.e. build Hellraiser from your own cm7 build so that we can flash i9000 cm nightlies

i will really love to test it as my pc is too old to compile a cm7 build from source
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
you can not go back to a froyo rom from a gb rom without odin back to stock and re root , at lease I haven't ever been able to :p

I have been hoping someone would shed some light on this but I don't know that I have seen a "why"
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
Yea, that's what I am in the process of doing right now. Even that isn't easy. I went back to stock w/root, loaded Infused 1.53 which worked fine then when I tried reloading my Nandroid from yesterday it all went to hell. :rolleyes: FC's by the dozens. I wudda thunk that would have worked. :cool:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Unfortunately, no. The open source versions of things that CM7 uses interacts with the hardware much differently than the closed source versions that Samsung uses, especially the Bluetooth portion. This is why Bluetooth has been such a problem with the CM7 buildup.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
wipe dalvik and cache...I do that after restoring the back up and it seems to fix those issues

btw...gps is working fine on other roms...locks in seconds

personally I was on Darky's when I had issues with it. Alot of eye candy but a very "clunky" rom
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Well, you COULD do this with our CM7 files... But the end result of "hellraising" an i9000 CM7 build using our CM7 files would just be identical to a full-blown local CM7 build, so it would be pointless.

However, this is basically what was done to create the MIUI builds that have occasionally been floating around. (Our CM7 low-level bits combined with the apps and UI of MIUI.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
That didn't work either. I finally ended up deleting all data and just restoring apps with Titanium. Finally back up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DynamicRam:
will it will save a lot of time syncing & compiling an already compiled cm7 build (i9000 one) especially for people with older machines or netbooks (like me) or don't have linux installed
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
It would provide a ROM that is in the same incomplete/multiple known broken items state that is keeping it from being general distribution here. It would not change anything in terms of LB's good reasons for keeping the barriers to playing with CM7 unusually high (But not insurmountable. Binary builds can be found by those who do the right research.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pierre3408:
4G and HDMI output???

Ok, I just got my Infuse. I am rooted and have installed modded 3e recovery.

I have a Captivate and it is running Mosiac VI, which runs way better than AT&T's 2.2 Rom.

Before I do anything else to this phone, will 4G and HDMI out still work on this phone if I put Mosiac VI and run Hellraiser Beta 5? If not, this basically becomes an oversized captivate and the Infuse improvements/upgrades are gone.

Can anyone verify that either 4G or HDMI still work after doing this?

(I still have 2 weeks to return the phone and keep my Captivate)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
HDMI will not work currently until we get ATT gingerbread release for Infuse. 4G is debatable. I do not live in a 4G backhaul area, so can not do proper testing. Besides that, you are forgetting a couple more important differences: processor and camera upgrades.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
It's just not worth it. I'm going to wait until the "official" AT&T GB come out then load ROMS with that. All this other stuff is too much of a hassle for an old man. If the SG2 comes out before that I won't have to worry at all but that's almost as much as a mystery as the IP5.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pierre3408:
Is AT&T anticipated to release a gingerbread update anytime soon?

If not, I really can't justify spending $200 to upgrade to this phone for a processor that is only slightly faster. I never take pictures with my phone.

Does anyone see a big improvement in the Infuse vs. a Captivate?

Not trying to be a killjoy, just trying to make a rational decision about keeping this phone..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cracjackson:
Can use flash this rom over infused v2?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
A few sources claim by the end of this month.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jonnypinkeyes:
I upgraded to the infuse from the captivate this month. I really loved my cappy.

Imo the infuse is better..... in some ways. The screen obviously, although I am not as impressed as some. The processor is faster but I was running talon oc under continuum on my cappy (fast and smooth) and I do not notice a huge difference with the infuse. I have had sleep death problems running oc on the infuse. The camera on the other hand is a bigger step up. not having a flash on the cappy was lame. also noticeable is picture quality (8mp). And the HDMI is a plus.

I have read people stating that the infuse is the step between the sgs1 and the sgs2......could be true.

The infuse is superior to the cappy though in my opinion.

I don't regret getting at all. you can run gingerbread now....no need to wait for at&t. The Walmart here has the infuse for 100$ if you upgrade. That's worth it.

I will say that the development of Hellraiser is a HUGE plus for me. I guess what I really enjoy is what these guys(the infuse developers here) have made possible.

I dont even really make phone calls :) I just have fun!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tekgurl:
Has anyone successfully flashed a JVP Rom?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Vijet:
According to LinuxBozo, using HellRaiser should solve the mobile AP problem. But after I flashed Sensation 2.0 ROM using HellRaiser, the problem has worsened for me.

Background - I have had lot of issues with wifi connectivity on my Infuse. The connection to the wifi networks takes a long time and it keeps scanning. After it connects, if the phone is idle for 2 minutes, the connectivity goes off. The signal on the screen shows that wifi is connected but the webpage never loads. I need to toggle wifi to get it working.

I have tried a lot of things to get this issue fixed. I have set the wifi sleep policy to never. I tried using static IP. I installed a few apps from market that try to reconnect when wifi goes off. But none of these worked. I read that you can manually enter the MAC address of your device on ur router to get this issue resolved. But sadly, I stay at a university dorm and I have no control over the router settings. I can't play around with it. I also read that the problem may be due to hidden SSID and tried an app to get a work around but in vain. I'm totally clueless since this issue is seen only in my university wifi network but nowhere else. But after I flashed Hell Raiser, I've been facing connectivity issues with other networks as well... :(

It'd be very helpful if the seniors here could guide me into getting my beautiful Infuse connect seamlessly with my wifi network. I love my phone but I'm really sad that it has wifi issues which drive me crazy sometimes... :(

I guess I posted the query in the wrong forum but since it's in some way related to Hell Raiser, I hope I get an excuse from the seniors here... :)

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Jet
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
but it isn't "your network" right? it is the university network?

do you have the issue while stock?

I don't know how much help I can be but check this out...

dload wifi analyzer from the market and open it up

what channel does the point you are connecting to show up on? how strong is the signal?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Vijet:
Yes, it is the university network.

I had the issue while on stock also. I in fact replaced my first infuse with another thinking it might be a problem with this particular piece. But sadly, it wasn't. Another friend of mine has the same problem on his stock rom.

I will download it and let you know the results.

Thanks for the reply...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Vijet:
Wifi analyzer shows me that channel 11 has the highest strength. The signal strength is around -86 dBm

Another peculiar thing about this problem is that if there are 3 networks available, when the connectivity goes off, the one that I was connected to always shows connected (Even though it's not connected) and the other 2 networks show out of range. (In the wifi settings menu)

Is there any other information I should provide?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
If it's a problem even on stock, it might be your network. Some companies/colleges really FUBAR their network setup. I remember once staying at a hotel that had stuff on basically random channels - ALL overlapping each other.

There was also, for a while, a big Android DHCP bug that had Princeton University blocking many Android devices by MAC address, I forget the details.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ranatsu:
SO I constantly lose data connectivity while running sensation. Not sure whats going on with that, but I have seen a few others mention it with no answer on whats going on. I am going to try Apex 8.3 and see if it does the same thing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Vijet:
It might be a problem with the university network setup but what I fail to understand is why does it happen on only Infuse and not on any other Android phones? My friends have captivate, Nexus one, Nexus S and none of them have faced any issues. But 2 of us have Infuse and both of us have this connectivity issue. It really sucks to toggle the wifi on/off every 2 minutes. I'm repenting my decision to go for an Infuse instead of Atrix just due to this problem... :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] draster80:
I have tried a few different ROMs and I notice that my data connection keeps jumping around H and 3G. Anybody else experiencing this? I have tried Apex 9.1, JVQmod, GingerReal and Tiramisu.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
^^^^Yes i have as well on darkys, and gingerReal as well.
