This person on a Phoenix (Arizona) area Craigslist is claiming he's got a SGS4G on 2.3 Gingerbread.
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/mob/2364273095.html
Is this just a BS screen hack?
Well, the dockbar looks like it has GB icons but the notification bar doesn't. Id say it is themed 2.2.

he's full of it
BS!! Ask for a screen shot of the Model number, Firmware Version and Baseband Version
I dont think that's legit! I think he's running Shadow's ROM!

What rom would give him a 2.3 theme?

Has anyone asked him yet??
There are convincing-looking (and free) Gingerbread launchers in the marketplace. My Galaxy S 4G has looked like the one in the post, but certainly isn't running 2.3, and I suspect that's what we're seeing. Whether it's deceptive or just a poor understanding of what Gingerbread is -- that's another question.
Hey, it's my first post! Woot woot.
I sent him an email via craigs list asking for pics.. see if he sends some back.
Aint real .. Get awd launcher and gb theme i got it and looks reall tho

The base firmware is 2.2, as I stated it has been modified, I uninstalled the TouchWiz UI and replaced the Froyo launcher with the Gingerbread launcher. I can install a full version of Gingerbread, so the base reads 2.3.
I would be willing to put forth the work, in trading for a G2X.

He can install the full version? i didn't think this was viable yet...
One problem, the app drawer is not 3D like GB. Isn't GB launcher 3D?

Launcher pro has the 3d launcher. I am running 2.3 on my vibrant right now. With touch wiz 4 . And doesn't have 3d app drawer.

True TW 4?? With the gestures and everything? Like where you hold two fingers and tilt to zoom in and out?

No, true TW 4 for some gestures requires the new hardware that supports multi-touch, and uses the gyrometer for tilt.
It's just TW4 without those features.
Theme
I am making a full GB theme, the problem is that I can't change the fon't colors at the menu because apktool never recompiles framework-res, so I had to keep the same old popup menu. Other than that, it is amazing
Gotta love Samsung's TouchWiz garbage.
I've been having issues with FC's of various TW based things - dialer sections, contacts, whatnot.
I guess TW hates build.prop LCD mods. It seems to be prevalent across the board with Samsung too.
Just a comment - the further we can get away from TW, the better.
TW isn't too bad, I like crushD's TW setup, so far I haven't had any trouble with adding screen animations and other mods

I would even be willing to deal with tw if we could get ext4. But I know what your saying, I haven't been able to mod jack without some fc's.

I personal like bionix setup but if we like new phones we need to be patient on development of new hacks or be able to be patient to not quit on developing new hacks

Why does everyone always ***** about gingerbread? My phone got it recently and nothing has changed except for the fact that I can say I have gingerbead.I don't even have the cool screen off animation that would totally be worth it because HTC sucks. If you want gingerbread so badly then root your phone and shut up. And Im talking to all the people on Android blog's who complain about not getting gingerbread yet. If it was ics then people would have a reason to complain but since its not even a good upgrade.

Gingerbread brings many advancements under the hood you don't grasp - such as improved Dalvik garbage collection and better power management.
As far as the screen off animation - did you bother to even see if you could enable it in display options? It's typically disabled by default.

1. gingerbread outperforms froyo (especially custom roms using gb); you dont like gb go back to froyo
2. you want the cool screen off animation, flash cm7, not htc's fault dont blame them
3. maybe those people that are complaining want official gb, not some unofficial, buggy custom rom
4. did you really make this thread to rant? i see no point in you making this thread unless you're trying to hit 10 posts
Hey Guys, I myself am an active cross platform user. I'll switch from Mac to PC and from my Android to my iPhone. I love my Android and all the features but I want it to be smooth! I mean just simple transition's and apps I want to be... smoother. I currently use LauncherPro and have used many other Launchers. They just don't satisfy. Could you all suggest me some ways to make my phone much more smoother? Thank you
Flash a ROM or install one of the tweaks.
Use Titanium to uninstall or freeze bloat ware, convert your launcher to a system app, and maybe try Spare Parts for making transitions/animations smoother

hey whats up.. what rom would you flash.. like what tweeks as well.. im running valhalla final..
You can remove most bloatware easily with my SGS4G Debloater. There's a link in my forum signature, right below this post. Removing bloatware will speed up your phone.
Yeah I've removed a bunch of bloatware my phone actually isn't bad at all, I'm just curious about a decent launcher... I've read the launcher thread, but I'm not vibing any of them.. One thing though is it okay to freeze the one launcher while you're using the other launcher??

Yeah, but even if you have all of them installed and defrosted they won't really conflict. If you press the home key you can switch between them. Pretty handy for testing
I'm really liking that spb one.. But I'm not sure about spending fifteen bucks for something that doesn't get updated.. But I just love the whole layout of that launcher..

I love GO Launcher EX.
zeam its the lightest launcher on the market. Not as customizable as launcher pro but still gets support.

I run Valhalla as well with lighting zap, zeam launcher, fast animations, and the kj6 beta kernel. My phone performs noticeably better than the 4s stock with boot time and app opening. Transitions are similar and scrolling long lists seem to perform better on the 4s. Assuming you are actively comparing the two, What differences are you noticing that tempted you to start this thread?

Hello everyone i just signed up and i own a Samsung Infuse 4G and ive been flashing some roms on it lately and i want to know in your opinion what is the best rom.
i tried zeus, and i like it but i hate build 5.2 and build 6, because of the fact that wallpapers do not scroll. live wallpapers do, but static ones do not. I love build 3 fixed for ZEUS because it has scrollable wall papers and the app drawer is transparent. i dont like the black background when looking through my apps i like it see through.
but, being build 3 it freezes quite a bit. i tried CM7, didnt like it. i want to try something else.
I hate flashing roms and testing them because every time i restore it gives me an error saying "No sdcard/.android.secure Found. Skipping restore of SD card apps." so i have to re install 1 by 1 the apps with titanium backup and its really annoying. once i reach my 10 post mark i will start to post in the developers thread but this is all i can do now.
in a rom in need stability, no freezing no non working elements, all that.
clean, simple and crisp.
no dumb animations to lag the os and use mass ram. clean simple and fast. id even use gingerbread with touchwiz 4.0 like on the samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket LTE that has a very good stock OS. maybe there is a way to put that on my infuse? I want to try s.u.r.f.a.c.e. rom but that's a hard way to flash it
any suggestions?

You can always Port your own ROM. Just saying.
If all you don't like about ZEUS is the launcher's look, then you can use one of the alternative launchers available off Market... err Play... or whatever Google is calling its new and improved more privacy breaking app download thing.
Off hand, the two I can think of are GOLauncher and PhoenixLauncher. I currently use GOLauncher on ZEUS and like it quite a bit, plus it's free. I think I'm going to give PhoenixLauncher a go after some of the bugs are worked out.

I agree, and also I'd recommend GoLauncher as I use it on Zeus build 5.2 and love it. Give it a Try!
I don't like those launchers iv tried them, I like touch wiz 4 which Zeus build 3 has, so I am using this for now.
Has anyone flashed the s.u.r.f.a.c.e rom?

Yerp on the surface rom...super lite...has lots of add on apps...smooth,stable....
The reason that wallpapers don't scroll is a SAMSUNG issue, not a Zeus issue, a change they made in the new gb leaks, so they wont change, on any rom built from that leak. Build 3 is no more and outdated, so if you don't want another launcher I suggest keeping build 3 because I removed it from the server. And tw 4 is way too buggy and unstable, that's why it was removed and will not return.

Alright thanks,
And now I understand that about Zeus,
But anyway great job with it its still an awesome rom. I'll try to flash s.u.r.f.a.c.e
How can I flash surface from my current position (Zeus build 3 with the ruxk kernel)?
Thanks for your replies

Well I'm currently running Z.E.U.S Rom Build 6. When I was stock GB (for the short time that was) I used the TouchWizz 4.5 Launcher, and I'm using it now. Scrollable wallpapers plus you can flash icon themes. Here is the XDA Thread Link:

From what i understand...its bad to restore all apps from TB, as some may not be compatible with other roms due to missing or added files
At least if your restoring the data part too
