Refuse v1.7​

PSA: Thank you to all that have PM'ed me, chatted at me in IRC and the fans of this ROM. This is a quick PSA to let everyone know where I am at right now.

I will be waiting until the official gingerbread from AT&T is released before creating a new ROM. When I do, it will be based on the same idea with Refuse.

Light, Battery-Loving, and Quick.

More to come in the near future.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words and feedback. I really appreciate it!

Change Log below.​

Installation:
If you are coming from another ROM, manually wipe data and cache via CWM before installing.

  1. Download Refuse_v1.7_CWM.zip.
  2. Copy to /sdcard
  3. Reboot into Recovery (Red, Green, doesn't matter!)
  4. Install zip from SD
  5. Choose Refuse_v1.7_CWM.zip
  6. First boot will be slow. If you do not currently use a ROM with a Voodoo Kernel, it will take a bit longer.

Also does this rom have the normal Market or the custom AT&T one? If it has the AT&T market please consider changing it for the basic one.

EDIT: One more question... Any plans to include the versions of the stock apps that will resize if we change the screen density?

The unbranded market is also on my list to do.

As far as the resizable stock apps, I will test and add those to the next version :).

im about to test heimdall on linux, macosx may have issues but really shouldnt. the origonal bootloaders on the sgs couldnt be seen by macosx. it should work now as they fixed the bootloaders on the sgs line so a mac can see the phone in download mode, i would imagine that what they changed in the bootloaders made it's way into this phone as well.

edit: heimdall works great on linux. should work equally great on macosx. best thing about terminal based os is no drivers needed. so it is actually easier than doing it in windows.

Thanks for all your efforts to bring us a rom and stock packages. Maybe this will get the ball rolling. What exactly is the bloatware that you removed. Ive deleted all my useless preloaded apps, am I missing a bunch?

    imo. infused rom is wayy better. performance, battery, and everything.

    Lol, Get bent.... This is all friendly development, and no one is trying to pin one ROM against another. All three roms, Infused, Refuse, and Bionix are all GREAT and each have their own character. If you want to start wars, you can just gtfo...

    These developers put a lot of hard work in, on their own free time, to give you a better experience with your device. If you like Infused, thats great! Just dont be complete jerk about it.

    Refuse v1.4 with rz950's kernel is UP!

    I'm not sure a bout which drivers I did installed, but i have no problem connecting the phone to my laptop. (any suggested drivers?).

    and I'm using the cable that came with the infuse box.

    thanks in advance.

    Just download & install Kies > http://j.mp/lOx2CB

    This will update the drivers

    Edit : felt like an ebay auction , beat by 3 min , lol ! , good one @beatblaster :D
