Very organized and helpful, thank you.

I updated the ROM section. I included a description of each ROM, put the most recent update date, updated the version numbers, and put them in order of newest to oldest.
I also put a backup section and included a how to on backing up your phone using Clockwork. It may need some further explanation but I provided the basics. I also updated the WiMax portion since it can now be done using Clockwork.

I didn't want to have to ask everyone for their permission haha. I figured they would add it if they wanted.
If I don't need their permission then I will... but I didn't want to break any rules.
I asked x99 if I could post his kernel...

yeah that wiki has def been forgot about and is so out of date, i dont even think anything there still gets support

Hehe...yeah...I realized that once I got in there and didn't see any of the latest ROMs I had been reading about. And people wonder why newcomers prefer to ask questions rather than just read a bunch of stickies.

Only answers

Please if its been posted,tell me where and ill read it but a quick search revealed nothing. I just picked up my inspire and when I check for HTC update it shows there is one. Do I need to update before rooting? Also what changes are there as far as any major steps to flashing a Rom. Like if I want inspired ace can I just root,flash recovery and install Rom? Or does the bootloaders need to be flashed before flashing a gingerbread Rom? Sorry for the 838393 million questions but I'm a long time Samsung user lol,I know my way around rooting and flashing but I know HTC phones can be a little different

anyway, like he said do that .. as far as the update first or not:
you can flash whatever radio you want after you are done rooting; for me i rooted before the OTA, but for wifey we did the update first.. it doesn't matter, as the info will be destroyed during the root anyway.
you cannot OTA after root from what i gather, as i was never offered the update as i was rooted

Lol sorry for putting it like that. It's just sometimes someones question sounds like one that's been answered already,but they mean it in a different specific way. Here lately people have been a little rude about the whole "its been answered" but really I just have a hard time explaining exactly what I mean in text. I don't mind reading the stickies but sometimes it gets confusing if you are new to a device and don't know what stage the development is at lol. But thanks man,ill go read the stickies and if I have any problems ill just post back here lol. Appreciate the kind answer

Well don't take it to harshly most are just sarcastic. I mean I am just sarcastic.

What doesn't help is when you can't truly tell for sure if its a playful sarcasm or mean sarcasm. It sometimes is hard to tell considering we are talking to each other in text form. There have been some posts I've read, not by you, but others, that I couldnt particularly tell if they were being mean or just being a smart @ss just to mess with someone without offending. I just wanna say something to the ones who have meant there sarcasm in a mean way. My wife's cousin coined these 2 phrases, and I like using them a lot. "Can't we all just smoke a bong!" And, "Life's a ***** and then you die, f*** the world let's get high!" Lmao ;D

My favorite method is to apply the OTA and then use Gingerbreak. Chainfire is a fantastic developer and I used gingerbreak to install rom manager, flash CWM, and get your flashing on.

[Q] (Samsung Infuse) How do I install Roms that are RAR, Zip, etc.

Can anyone please post on this thread on how to install a Rom on a Samsung Infuse? I have downloaded the current ROM for it and do not know how to do it. I have found some directions on YouTube but to no avail. This would help others.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318160
And this belongs in the Questions section.

What ROMs are you referring to exactly? All custom ROMs are flashable through CWM recovery. The "official" gingerbread leaks from przekret are only flashable through Odin or Heimdall. Directions for both of these methods already exists in infuse general and infuse q&a sections. I would suggest a google search with something like this:
Code:
site:xda-developers.com samsung infuse how to install ROM via Odin
It'll tell google to ONLY search xda-developers.com for your search term. The xda search sucks (IMO).

yo have to root the phone and have CWM instaled then you can flash what you want....and this is not a development question...please post in right section

I know but seemed like I wasnt getting a good response so I decided to quickly ask here.

I am referring to SGH-I997_I997UCKL2_UC_ATT.RAR

I promise I will remove soon and put in the correct section to help others with similar question.

I do not have rooted phone so I downloaded the ROM that was non-rooted

If that is the leak from prezkret thread, you'll need to extract the rar and there should be a tar.md5 in there (if memory serves). You will need to use Odin to flash this on your device so being rooted is not necessary. Put your phone into download mode, connect it to your pc, fire up odin and put the tar.md5 that is within this rar into the pda slot. That's all you'll need to do.

there is a tar.md5 this really helps. thankyou

So, because you were impatient, you felt a need to break the rules of this forum and post in a section you are explicitly not suppost to post new threads in unless the thread is for something YOU have created?
What makes you think you are so special and are allowed to break the rules?
Also, I just looked through your posting history - you didn't even TRY to post in Q&A.

I think since you posted this question here and by some of the things you have said, you should wait on doing anything to your phone. I'm not trying to be mean but you really don't seem like you know what you are doing and that you need to do some research first. If not you'll have another post asking how to unbrick your phone. Do some reading.

That I'd what I did. I read all of the instructions from every rom thread and then hung out on IRC before I even attempted to flash a ROM
I still bricked it a few times, even partially broke download mode

Plenty of information on this forum to help you. All you need to do is search.

@OP - Did you get it figured out?

Ics mms.apk

Would someone be kind enough to upload the mms.apk from the ICS leak to this thread? I lost mine trying to install a replacement (stupid, I know, I know). I'd really appreciate it. I'm using GoSMS right now, which works fine as a replacement, but I'd prefer to use stock.
Thanks so much.

nighthawkundead is right man, if your reread your post you'll notice that your first line is a question, thus it belongs in Q&A. He's not trying to be a douche, he's just warning you because usual people get flamed for posting in the wrong section

Go Sms is much better than stock. Anyway

I understand. Not that I really feel the need to defend myself but I figured since this is the developers thread it would be an appropriate spot for such an inquiry. Since the developers generally have their hand in the system files I figured it would be an easy place to have this answered. Maybe you can understand why I decided to post it here? I don't really see the 'harm' it has done. If it's such an inconvenience to look at it then just don't, ya know?

If you flashed through CWM, you could just use Root Explorer to extract the apk from the flashable zip. If you used Odin, then you could download the Odin files and extract it from there. If none of the above would work for some reason, then you could dl the leak from some thread on here.....then extract.
Using Tapatalk/SGH-1897

I appreciate the response, Javier. The problem is that I used SuperOneCLick to flash the ROM. I'm not really sure how to extract from that. I'll see if there's a way.

I'm not trying to attack you man, all im trying to do is help keep this forum clean. When you post here like that it makes people think that you putting up a modded version of the ICS MMS.apk, if you refresh the development forum you'll notice that your the only thread that doesn't start with (dev) (rom) (how to). All i'm trying to get across is that your question would be answered just as fast if it was in the Q&A section, and actually it's probably more suited for the themes and apps section. Sorry if you felt like i was trying to bust your balls over it tho

Only reason I clicked onto this thread. Was disappointed.

also to answer your question, it may not be the fastest method but you could just download this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566820), then unzip it and locate the app in the /system/app move that to your phone and use a root browser to place it in /system/app.

No, it's cool. I do understand what you were getting at... and you're right. I just wanted you to understand my way of thinking. No harm, no foul.
I'm still at a loss of how to get these files. I now have the mms.apk but I think I still need the mms.odex. Is there any way of extracting these files from the SuperOneClick file? I'm trying but I'm not really getting anywhere.

All is well. I've gotten both the mms.apk and the mms.odex now. I appreciate everyone who helped and I'm sorry for any confusion about where I posted this. Many apologies. No mal intent.
To the powers that be - you can delete this thread.

noob question, but does this work with gb rom?

So I post a thread about asking a question in this forum . And instead of getting help , I get opinions and a closed thread . Must feel like a big man closing threads on people who ask questions or ask for something that's not on here yet .

Not sure what happen in that post.
What you can do is flash cwm recovery, use the cwm backup of the 1.84.
Once done you can flash back TWRP recovery again and make a backup of your phone using TWRP recovery.
A little long process but should work since there's not a TWRP backup of 1.84.

Dont forget to fastboot boot recovery.img and flash the firmware pack available somewhere around here...updated radio, wifi, kernel and dsp images that won't flash with CWR.

cwr 5.8.3.1 is now available thru Rom Mgr if you don't have fastboot
nandroid will restore all but radio if you want a different radio then you have--that is true for cwr or twrp
so barring radio--which is a whole different set of procedures--it still should take only 15 minutes
less time than all these posts took--

First off, You did NOT post in the right section, you posted in General and you should have posted in Q&A.
Secondly this thread is useless and as such will be closed, however.....
Lastly, I don't know why exactly it was closed, but I will reopen the original thread and contact the mod that closed it to see what his reason was.
