Samsung Infuse 4G SGH-I997 (AT&T): How to install Android 4.0.4 ICS AOKP-based Infinitum custom ROM

-




With how many minds are constantly at work in the XDA Developers forums, Android phones are always getting something new. The AT&T Infuse 4G SGH-I997 is certainly getting a different flavor of Ice Cream Sandwich, thanks to senior member mg2195. Introducing the Infinitum LBR custom ROM based on the Android Open Kang Project (AOKP), a port of the ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 of the same name. This means it’s a much sleeker AOKP ROM, based on our ever favorite Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and packed with performance and customization options.
You can enjoy a huge RAM patch, Windows Phone 7 font, increased call volume for those calls you don’t want to miss a word of, stock theme with some visual mods and a modded market that works even after changing DPI.
But, like all ROMs in development, there are also some bugs. Anything that didn’t work in Entropy’s CyanogenMod 9 May 2, 2012 build doesn’t work in this ROM, as well, and any Galaxy S settings, naturally, do not work on the Infuse 4G. These issues may be resolved in future updates so keep your eyes peeled.
The ROM, however, is okay for daily use. If those bugs don’t discourage you and you’re itching to get this ROM on your AT&T Infuse 4G, keep reading for our step-by-step installation guide.
