Just make sure you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed... and be sure to wipe everything before you install... Also, fix permissions after it's installed.
Ok so I don't need to upgrade to stilick gingerbread? And I'm sorry but what do you mean by permissions? Thanks alot

No, not unless you want the new baseband because I've yet to see a easy to apply it without the update. Could be wrong. And that's for you to decide, but the the baseband improved signal and gps response on my phone.

So I have 2.2.1 and I was wondering is it possible just to update it to 2.3.2 without downloading a rom or rooting it? I like it the way it is. And is there also a way to recover the Inception file??

how are you going to install a 2.3.2 rom if you don't want to download it?
besides, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 are the newest gingerbread roms.
Gb isn't out for stock yet your gonna have to wait if u don't want to root and rom

Hey, sorry if this is a noob question, but I installed the Infuse CM7 ROM on my phone a few days ago. Now that there is an update out, how am I supposed to update my ROM without losing my data?
Just download the update and boot into cwm and flash...you don't have to wipe anything just flash over the current cm7 your running

I am a noob so yeah....
I have bwen rooted for a little while and had A question on roms.
When we get the fixed gb update and I update while I have a rom will it take me back to stock or will I have to flash stock to update?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Any new ROM, unless its an update specific to your ROM made by your ROM maker, it is nearly always recommended to clean flash it (need not go to stock).
Just wait til the update is implemented in the ROM. Done.

The same way you flashed CM, download, put on the root of your sd card, and flash them. I believe these are the latest: http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
Thank you so much it works great thank you again

So you obviously know way more then I do about this what is the best rom in your opinion? And does that app pack work on all roms or just cyanogen mod?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
It works on all ROMs except the CM9 alpha that was released. Until you're less new you might want to hold off on that until there is a stable release.
Thanks the cyanogen nightly that I installed is slower then the stock one .just wondering what roms are best

Google Euroskank and go to the first one that pops up, hit the P999 tab and grab the latest and grab any of the custom kernels that strike your fancy or do what I started to do and try one for a week or two and see how I like it.
I thought those were only for the O2x not g2x
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Nope, just make sure you choose P999 from their page. The official CM got was down and I liked their nightlies and had no problems I didn't have on the stable release.

So what would be the best in your opinion to use
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Kernel?
It depends: If you want battery life get Trinity ELP (I that's the one, the one which only allows to OC to 1.1GHz) if you want pure power go for Faux, if you want a balance (don't know if it has Voodoo sound though) go for Dragon for CM7 (not OTA).
So I take it that you can use different kernals with different roms and you flash them the same as the roms?

Most, if not all of the newer custom roms are debloted, meaning the bloat has been removed in OTA based roms. If its AOSP or CM based, it's built without bloat.
