[ROM]>>>INFINITY<<<(v1.1)-JB 4.1.1[UVLDJA]Dec 12, 2012

I'd like to introduce my first published ROM to the community.
-What is Infinity about?
The purpose of this ROM is for those who don't care much about dealing with bugs and waiting for updates or tweaks to get a daily driver. My project is to keep this as stock as possible because I believe that the touchwiz features are awesome. I'd like to keep the mods to a minimum to maintain functionality and keep the ROM as bug free as possible. Infinity fits perfectly as the name of this ROM as it allows YOU, the user, to make infinite choices to how you want your phone to feel and act like. While I am the chef, I feel its your resposibility to chose the themes and mods ypud like to add as you see fit.
- who this ROM is not for?
This ROM is not for those who are here to flame others or rudely criticize my work. While I accept suggestions and constructive criticism , I will not allow rudeness. Please feel free to post questions or concerns here as I may not ever get to my PMs. Enjoy.

Download instructions:
*download to SD
*backup ROM
*flash in recovery using favorite recovery method
If coming from another ROM I'd recommend wiping data . If coming from stock id still recommend wiping data but your willing to try and dirty flash.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for the sudden death of your phone if you flash this wrong or flash mods not compatible with this.

Will flash tonight! As long as you are working towards including AOSP lockscreen, contacts, and messenger, I will stick with you the whole way. As far as the power mods, can you include screenshot? I know you can hold power and home, its just easier if its in the power menu.

Running very fast and smooth so far. Did you take out the calendar widget? The app for it is there but no widget.

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback so far. Uh. I probably took the calendar widget out on accident. I will work on it tonight. Still at work. For now. You can push the calendar widget apk into system settings. Screenshot in power menu should be next then I assume. hopefully I get some time tonight if the wife does the come a call in'. I'll get some screenies also. I'd also recommend using faux stock kernel in the other thread for a boost. Been reading some good things about his mainline edition.

Speaking of widgets. Are there any others from stock that you guys prefer to have back. I took out some of the bloat ones to free up some space. I did also remove a few live wallpapers since I don't personally use them.

I have always envied team kang and their stock build since it includes lock screen options. I may have to call upon them and see if they'll assist me in my pursuit of aosp options. Ive youve ever used the sgs2 and the Juggernaut ROM you'd know how awesome the ROM control option was.

There's so much to say but trying to be respectful at the same time. Grrrrrrr. Do you really know what you're doing, or do you only understand the basics and know how to make a flashable zip rom? I'm being serious and not trying to be a ****... its just it seems like a.... pointless thread/rom... as of now. Of course when it can be a AOSP/TW ROM that's awesome, but now???!!! Just seems not very important. Again not trying to be a jerk, just speaking my mind.
You saying "uh. I probably took the calendar widget out on accident" makes me want to not flash the ROM, I understand trial and error but, that should be done before publicizing your work. I'm an A-Hole and this and that so be it, criticism sucks.

No I understand where you're coming from. My haste to get this out there superceeded my common sense. Also my poor word choice also can be a fault in people not wanting to try this. I am not completely new at this. Although I am not alone in creating a ROM using the kitchen. That is the difference between "original" android development in this forum and "android development". A few ROMs I've seen in this section were probably made using the kitchen ad out does the basic for you. The rest is actually knowing Smali and baksmali, compiling and dwcompiling of XML files and such. That isy weakness as I have to search countless forums and guides to find out how to do it in my own. Everyone started somewhere. As much as I want to pull this ROM now I feel I should be more careful in what I say and how I add mods and test them. I know nowadays people seek the ROMs that are "flashy" and have tons of features but it comes at a price. I am not just building for people but foe fun and foe myself. I do run my roms and therefore don't want to brick my own device. I appreciate the criticism as you are probably saying what others don't. Its all part of the learning process. On the other hand, there are plenty of awesome ROMs to choose from.

and you sir have earned my utmost respect, as you called me out exactly how I felt adn few others that have have PM'd me. I'm looking greatly forward to your JB TW/ AOSP rom and so are others. I'm extremely happy the way you took it all sir. and I will gladly test/ tell others how your rom feels. In a an honest matter obviously, but only as you start implementing heavily the CM/AOSP features.

Thanks man. The journey will be long and difficult. Again I appreciate everyone's patience. I have some time tonight to mess around with some code. I believe I have the power menu figured out. And I wanted to ask. Do you guys prefer lidroid toggles which are customizable or something else. I preferably like the stock ones but something customizable could be added as a zip instead of a default. That is why I'd like to really dig into aroma which would allow maximum user customization but its gonna take more than one night of studying the tutorial and testing. I'll add back the calendar and hopefully have advanced power menu up. No eta yet.

Smooth rom bro! Glad to have another developer in the s3 forums. Request: black status bar and I hope the rom will keep a stock look
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I believe options in aroma would be the way to go. I personally would like the 15 toggle mod built in. I totally understand that you are learning as you go, i am just thankful to have someone working on this. After you put the calendar back in (lol) and add the basic power mods and such, i would be cool with you adding AOSP features one at a time. That would also help with testing.

[POLL]Will you be running Stock Android or TouchWiz based ROMs?

I am going to be running Stock Android just because of how buttery smooth it is. Oh and yes if you didn't know we have a pretty much fully functional cm10 ROM!!! Will post details if anyone needs them

It isnt available and won't be for awhile. Plus I love the big screen on the phone and the fact that its made by Samsung. I've had bad experiences with LG products
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda premium

This is probably the first phone I wouldnt root if it wernt for the need to remove carrier IQ. I wish we had a temproot so I could get carrierIQ out and keep the phone stock . I <3 touchwiz. Way more polished than sense imho .

So conflicted atm... But... think will wait just a /bit/ longer for it to shake out.
Bah, who am I kidding, downloading now.
---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------
Known issues:
- The stylus doesn't work. Need to investigate.
- Radio crashes every now and then.
- Audio in phone calls requires an initiation phase: make 2 phone calls to any number when you boot up to get audio functional on the 3rd call.
Ah, perhaps I will wait that big longer.

I'll be running stock TW until I get tired of it, then I'll try some launchers and get tired of those. Thats when I'll flash a new ROM and Kernel.

I'm going to stick with TouchWiz so that my phone would be fully functional as it was meant to be. Also, TW has drastically gotten much better and I already like the feel of it. It's already fast and buttery smooth. And with my phone rooted I had it tweaked at 5x5 grid with scrolling wallpaper and a sweet ass theme.

I haven't rooted yet, in the past only did it to have full data access (tether) that I pay for, and delete bloat. But with new updates coming at some point I've been making due just fine so I'll wait until after the big update to decide if I'll root. As far as stock versus touchwiz lol now that's easy regardless to the screen size or how smooth it runs I couldn't imagine losing my pen that's how I enter text etc and once of my main reasons for buying, could have kept my S3 & yes 4.8 to 5.5 is different but let's be serious why get a note 2 only to root and put stock.........losing all the reasons to own a note two ........laughing out loud. And FINALLY you delete carrier IQ Lmao, ok fine but if you haven't noticed this won't stop big brother so your peace of mind is shot boots. Non existent
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Besides the screen size, the S pen is the obvious stand out feature. Without all the S pen additions it'll be "just a big phone". I'm sticking with TW until I decide to completely give up on using the S pen.

I want to run stock but I'll probably wait awhile until all the spen goodies are rolled in. I don't use it that much, but I'd hate to lose it. My last experience with TW was the Vibrant. So far it hasn't been that bad. I'm running Nova Launcher.

The only function I use from stock is the pop up browser. I never use the pen unless I'm showing someone the gimmick of drawing with it. So yes. I'd love me some CM10.

Touchwiz all the way. Not a huge fan of stock android.. plus I would lose all these cool features of a Samsung phone.

I'm sticking with TW for awhile or at least until we get some better custom ROMs. I like TW and the settings but not the Samsung and Tmobile apps.

I think your terms are misleading. To me, CM10 and AOKP aren't "Stock Android", they're "AOSP" or "Vanilla Android". Of course that's just semantics. "Stock" is the ROM that the phone shipped with. With that in mind....
I'll be running a rooted TouchWiz "stock" ROM, debloated (my idea of debloated), with Nova Launcher. I get the best of both worlds that way, in my opinion. All the goodies that Samsung has done to the phone that make it BETTER, in my opinion, than "AOSP", plus I can add the best of other ROMs. With Nova Launcher, I have the "look & feel" of "AOSP" as well.
YMMV.
By the way, why didn't you add an actual poll to the thread?

This phone + Paranoid Android is all I need. Most of samsungs apps are inferior to their aosp counter parts. The only thing I'll be losing out on is the s pen which I have never actually used in a useful way anyway. Samsung has great hardware but their software and design choices need improvement.

i'll be moving to cm10 once they sort out the calling/audio issue.. i bought this phone because it's a performance beast and the lovely screen.. the s-pen wasn't even a consideration in the purchase for me.. sure, it's a neat gimmick (pull out lightsaber sounds to amuse the kids) but i can't see myself using it for anything..

I'll be using it on touchwiz, since wifi calling is a must and multiview, while i'm really anticipating it, isn't a big enough reason for me to root just yet (I'm lazy and this phone is awesome even without root/custom ROMs). One day I will, but for now I'm just going to mess with the phone

[q] aosp + tw?

so, i recently switched phones, i had the evo 4g, and now ive got the epic 4g touch. With the evo, i hated sense, despised it, it was super intrusive and overall crappy looking to me. But TouchWiz is pretty awesome in my opinion. On the Evo, I used AOSP roms to get rid of sense. I want to try 4.2 jellybean, but i dont want to lose touchwiz, so whats stopping me form flashing a 4.2 AOSP rom, then a touchwiz launcher zip over that? would that work at all? sorry if this makes zero sense, i dont really have an excuse though....

Touchwiz isn't just a launcher. It is laced in throughout the entire OS.
If you want a really good ROM use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025466 It is my daily driver.
Please make sure you read the entire OP and the first couple posts right after. It will also do you goo to go through the entire thread. We have a ton of tips and tricks in there for this ROM.
As of right now, 4.2 is still in its alpha stages and very buggy. Not worth using as a daily driver at this time.

Haha I'm actually using jelly verse now, it really is the best out right now, I think. Thanks for your advice, too.

I beg to differ. This is the best thing out ;p
Once Jelly OTA hit's there will be a version of it.
But that's why this place is great. Lot's of options to suit your need's.

Dont worry you will get tired of Touchwiz soon.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

So far? Even though it's ICS, it's the latest official OTA, and tweaked and customized with features no rom here can offer. Don't like the kernel, pick a new from right in the rom. Don't like there being a clock in the statusbar? Get rid of it, from right in the rom. Need some new fonts? Themed apps? DOnt want some of those bundled apps? Hell, you can customize it before you even install it. You can really feel the love put into the rom by the developer. I personally can't wait for a jelly version, but until I see the OTA, I am going to.

Why do you say that? I was a little unsure about it after sense. I was deadset on getting AOSP right away, but I turned the phone on and was like, hey, this isn't so bad. I've used nova, holo, adw, and go launcher...but I like touchwiz a lot better than any of those, minus the fact you can't hide icon labels on touchwiz. Might be the only drawback

Mod that you can flash on any jelly bean rom.

Can you customize the navbar to add more buttons / change shortcuts? That's a feature I can't live without.
nevermind, saw my answer in the other thread. it's aokp based so yes it does.
Any plans to update it to a 4.2 base? I would prefer to stay on the latest.

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm definitely checking this out when I wake up, downloaded and ready to go! But just curious, also yes that is toro ported and works just fine.
Edit: Fantastic ROM, has done stuff I've wanted for months.. and that's where it ends. I honestly will not use this ROM until it changes base. AOKP is the worst, that's my opinion but you got yourself a fantastic ROM here. If these apps and various other apks aren't framework dependent then I'll use some in a different ROM.
Again amazing ROM, you have done what I've been trying to do for months and namely the walkman widget is one. I hope you change the base.

It is great, but a little laggy. Will it get faster in the future? As well as this, the themes do not work. Any way to fix this? I am not trying to be mean, and by NO means am I a developer. I am amazed how you got this to work, and just want to help.
EDIT: The lag fixed itself, I dont know what happened. That is fine. Only problem is It wont reboot after first successful boot. It probably is Android Tweaker Pro. It is a great app, but also caused my stock rom to randomly reboot.

To answer a few of your questions. (Im updating thread now to)
1. I do plan on updating to 4.2 just need to update the code a bit and wait for the lockscreen to get ported.
2. Yes its based on AOKP 4.1.2
3. My rom is different because im going to take the time to keep it updated with anything new and im always constantly working on new ports to add to it. Its also more featureful, and its going to support toro and toroplus as soon as i get 4.2 working.
4. WHY YOU HATE AOKP SO MUCH? JK im using any base that i find most stable, im pretty sure im going to switch it for the 4.2 update since AOKP is constantly releasing updates for it and it will be hard to keep up with it.
5. Lag? I really have not noticed any lag besides the Xperia live wallpaper, thats sony's fault for not optimizing the app properly.

This ROM is running great. Loaded lean kernels latest stable 4.8 and all is good. A nice break from AOSP.

Oh, I've never heard of this then lol
The AOKP hate, its opinion but on both devices I've owned they been just so horrible and cheesy.. I don't like that swag button. The features are lacking. Honestly I'm on a stable base of 4.2.2, using Orca. The features are just amazing. I'm guessing because I tried the apks is that a lot of this framework doesn't really work for 4.2.2? I mean this is basically an Xperia ROM. I'm really impressed, I'm really hoping we can eventually get an actual port but I doubt it.
Secretly "I want a W8 port" love the style they use. Call me whacky lol.. But this is awesome you've made a breakthrough, or well your the only person who technically cares to do something like this. So I appreciate it this a lot man.
Edit: 4.1 doesn't bother me, we basically miss out on the status bar features. Just the base.

Just a quick note of congratulations and thanks, +Hyperrunner. I've been with Android since the first G1s were shipped, and this port reminds me of all the really inventive, well-done ports that we saw for the G1 back when other devices and models began to appear. I've been waiting for a really cool port to put on the GNex (which has had excellent but slightly bland firmware as stock from the beginning), and this Xperia port of yours really hits the spot. I think the AOKP base was a great choice. If it plays well with Linux Deploy and continues to be stable, this will become my primary ROM. Thanks a bunch, you deserve donations for your contribution to the Android community!

Thank you this ROM is pretty sweet love the look. Nice to have something other than stock for once

You say there is Bravia Engine, is it just not a setting and always on? If that is the case, awesome.

Yes, bravia engine is always on its more of a configuration then an app. Its always one and it helps display pictures better.

Where are all the Devs?

I was wondering where are all the devs who created these roms and haven't updated their roms for months. Have they abandon the GS3? its seems as though either they moved on or creating AOSP or AOKP roms, which can be boring because they all look the same. I hope that they can update their roms and stay with the GS3. Seems as though there are different roms made for the AT&T GS3 that I wonder why aren't they being ported to t-mo.

Became touchwiz is filled with bloatware, it takes time to remove them all! By the time they release a new custom ROM, you would see an OTA update. So it would be better to use aokp and aosp , which is fast and stable vanilla built!

For one thing, many have moved up to better devices now that T-Mobile has made it so much easier to so.
Besides, what is it you could want that isn't already there? You've got many to choose from, and a couple that are currently and/or are always in development.
There are some devs that release one or two Roms and focus on that. Then there's others who like to move on to something new when they get their Rom to where they want it. Just because it's no longer actively developed, doesn't mean it's not an outstanding Rom.
Imo, I think it's all pretty much been done. They're not going to keep recreating the same stuff over and over, just to make it look like more development is going on.
One last point, always remember that we are enjoying the fruits of their labor. They don't do what they do because we want them to. They do it because they enjoy it and want to share. If they decide to move on to something new, just be glad for what they did contribute. Don't be unhappy/upset/mad for what they didn't do or don't continue to do!
I didn't take your post as being angry btw, I just said that because some people do get that way.

And yeah, I was testing something and keep forgetting to revert to my correct build.prop.

Thanks gang for the heads up. You're right these roms are awesome and sometime it gets confusing on which one I should load. I do like touchwiz because its smooth and its different from all the AOSP/AOKP roms. they are fast too. I'm stuck with the GS3 for a while till I can get insurance to do the "Jump" thing. but I'm happy with my phone but its roms that I like on it. Thats why I wish that some roms that I use can get updates so I can stay with it. but its ok.
I like trying new roms out.

Many of the AT&T roms can be flashed to our devices if you didn't know. You.might need to make a few minor changes like apns and build.props, but most you can flash and they'll work. Unless something changed that I missed....

Really? wow I didn't know that. I just know that the at&t MIUI roms are usable for t-mo, but didn't know the others are. I don't know anything about apns or build props.

I was wondering where are all the devs who created these roms and haven't updated their roms for months. Have they abandon the GS3? its seems as though either they moved on or creating AOSP or AOKP roms, which can be boring because they all look the same. I hope that they can update their roms and stay with the GS3. Seems as though there are different roms made for the AT&T GS3 that I wonder why aren't they being ported to t-mo.

AOSP ROMs look the same? Boring? Really? Have you tried an AOSP ROM such as CM or AOKP and the hundreds of themes in the PlayStore? I have used both customized Touchwiz and AOSP, each ROM has its own features. I do however miss the Touchwiz camera app when switching to AOKP, but there are other things that TW can't beat AOSP. Your choice. I truly appreciate the army of awesome devs on this forum. You guys are great!!

Didn't mean that way. I just got the use of theming and realize with AOSP/AOKP I can do lots of theming with UCCW/ZW/WL I can make my phone look different. Once in a while I do miss touchwiz. Yeah, these devs are awesome and the work that they do.
