Yeah, it's because the NS ran REAL AOSP. Which has the colored bars that you're talking about which does mean that you're sync'd.
But, the G2x runs LG's stupid wannabe AOSP. The bars aren't colored because it's their own custom skin. It's sync'd though, you just can't tell because LG made it that way.
I just got the G2x few days ago, couldn't stand their custom ROM. So I rooted it and flashed CM7 the second I had the chance.
I would suggest you do the same as well.

What was your old phone? It's pretty hard to brick this. Rooting was simple and painless. There's a good video tut on how to do it.

Yeah, the thread is somewhere on the dev section. That's what I did to root it. Took me 10 minutes first time.
Ok I'll give it a try...

1. Install Clockworkmod via One Click NVFlash tool. Do not use ROM Manager.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Now you have two choices.
Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery (power + volume down) ...
1. Install my root zip if you want to stay on stock rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
2. Choose an already rooted rom from dev section and flash it. Make sure you wipe everything before flashing an alternate rom or a bootloop may likely result.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1117
I've hard bricked a couple of phones (not a G2X) in the past and based on what I know this phone is very hard to brick. The only way to do I think is to issue errant commands in NVFlasher, but that is why we have the One Click Recovery flasher to isolate us from that possibility.
^^ damn that guys boss! Do his instructions to a T and you'll be all set.

i have pulled all these pngs from many, many ics themes to make my own for the stock roms who don really want to flash a custom rom.
Toggles include reboot, download and recovery for those on stock that dont have an extended power menu, one flash and now you do..
Instructions:
Place zip on sd card
wipe cache and dalvik cache
fix permissions
flash theme
reboot
this is intended for non-themed stock roms, if you flash over any of the themed roms you will probably have issues. I am just giving love to the ones who like the stock functionality but want a little ICS eye candy, and handy toggles. Youve been warned! If you flash over themed custom rom and then have issues and force closes , i dont want to hear it..thank you
Once again i am not responsible if your phone melts...
This theme features 14 toggles(hard coded in by me)no external app
ICS bootanimation
ICS transition animations
Themed apps include:
Voice search
Voice recorder
tw calaender
twcalculator
tw30 launcher
SystemUI
Sound player
Settings(lockscreen menu in but not working yet, still modifying jars)
settings provider
Phone
music player
media provider
MMS
LatinIME
Job manager
Gmail
Gallery
Email Widget
Email
Dialer
Contacts
Clock package
Camera
Browser..

ok cool..thanks !!
just in case any of you were thinking of trying this out on custom rom regardless of instructions, I already tried on Infused 2.3 and it gives bootloop after flash. =/
Edit: Also will let you know that this will result in needing to reflash back to stock then to the custom rom you had before. So dont try it if you havent backed anything up. I only did this because I was already backed up and was planning on flashing back to Froyo anyways. So i just took a chance on it. Now flashing Infused 1.6 as we speak.
Infuse 2.3 is not even close to UCKK1, 2, 4 or UCKL2....that's why I specifically clarified that in op...so this question wouldn't arise...but yet it did anyway....go figure

He said that he tried regardless of instruction. he wasnt asking a question. He actually read the op. I understand that its annoying when people dont follow directions, but you need to give people the benefit of the doubt. We all appreciate the work you do, and it would be easier if you just ignored the posts that you didnt like. And please try to read what others post carefully before responding in a negative way. thanks again for all that you do

The reason I put it in the op is so these questions wouldn't be asked..period...but people don't listen...I wasn't being hateful...but I post as much in the op so people wont ask a question they know the answer too....anyone who reads the op should automatically know that it wont work with infused rom...so the question or comment should have never been posted. That's why I commented...I don't know how much more clearer I can make the op be...but I will edit the op with a list of roms this is compatible with so this does not come up again.

I think you are misunderstanding me. I was just trying to tell you that he wasnt even asking a question. he read the op and knew that the theme wasnt designed for infused, but he tried it out to see if it could possibly work and then posted to let everyone else know not to try it.

This..........
Would it be possible for you to maybe ppost links to individual apks that might work (albeit in a standalone method) with Infused 1.6 (Froyo)? or any custom rom for that matter. Such as links to the dialer apk, boot animation, etc. Maybe the thread could just be turned into a repository for such links along with your project. It just seems useless to post something that can only be installed on stock devices considering that probably most people on these threads have a custom rom on their infuse. Dont mean to be rude or anything either at all. Thanks though!

This is for the stock roms that were posted in the op. If you are not on those roms look else where or make your own. Your asking someone to make things just for you. It's not useless for the people who run stock roms. Your post was a little rude.

Yep...most people do run custom Rome that are fully themed...but there are a few that do run stock rooted roms and are happy that way....this is for them...they need some love too...this ain't Burger king...

Hi Jules,
In order to use voodoo lagfix, you'll need to install one of the kernels that have that ability. I personally suggest using bhndven's
[KERNEL][UVKJ6][BETA3] Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix [12/19/2011]. Just follow the install instructions on his page. It's a great kernel, has the latest CWM (which fixes an issue with GB ROMs not being able to mount/unmount the /system partiton), root, and voodoo lagfix in it.
Once you've installed it, reboot into CWM recovery (either use an app like quick boot, or you have to power down the phone, hold down the volume up, volume down, & power keys, then release the power key after the "Galaxy S" screen gets a bit brighter), go to the voodoo menu, and ensure "voodoo lagfix" is enabled and "/system lagfix" is enabled.
As for the debloater (check my signature for the link), literally, go read FB's page about it. It takes you to a site, you select what you want to remove, it creates a .zip file you download, put it on your sdcard, then flash it from within CWM.
Tnx dude.

The link for bhundven's kernel installs CWM as part of the kernel. If you follow the instructions on his page you'll be fine. He writes good stuff
The only other way I know to install it on Gingerbread is to install one of drhonk's kernels in the dev section. Using the one I mentioned is easier & is the current version of CWM.
Tnx alot dude...

I know there are a few of these threads in other device forums but I am posing this question to G2x owners only. What is the best ROM in your opinion for use on the G2x? I just rooted mine and have ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 running with ROM Manager in place. Now it is time to play. A little background, I am a Red Hat instructor so any ROMs a linux nerd might find useful that play nice on the G2x hardware would be awesome.
I've used weapon g2x for a while and it was pretty good. Switched to cyanogenmod 7.2 and it's also pretty good. I've heard phoenixblood is also amazing.
I recommend you just jump in and try them.

Mileage varies with different people so the best way to pick a ROM is to try them yourself. Make sure you use Titanuim Backup to help keep your apps and data through the changes.
cm nightlies is what I use
i like the bionix theme

I would also suggest not using Rom Manager. It can get you in trouble.
I like pheonix blood a lot. It seems the most stable and full featured.

I never knew why people use RM. Just boot into CWM. RM can **** up at times. I've even seen it brick some people's phones. Also, the G2x uses a modded CWM. So using RM wouldn't be a good idea either way.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I flashed my first ROM with ROM manager, and of course something went wrong, and the G2x wouldn't boot up. At the time, I thought I messed it all up and bricked my phone.
CWM is just a safer option. Even if the flash goes bad, you can still boot into CWM and do a nandroid restore, then it's like nothing happened in the first place. Plus after you've done it once, it's actually a really simple process to do, but now you have an added safety net.
Yupp use cwm much more stable and easier? I used rm and it soft bricked my phone. Managed to fix it tho with nvgflash

The recovery partition on Tegra 2 devices works very differently from the recovery partition on almost all other devices. Rom Manager works around this by simply installing it's own version of CWM on a portion of your system partition (I'm fairly certain that is where it places it, but I could be wrong). The Tegra architecture protects certain partitions from being written to while in anything other than recovery or NVFLASH. This prevents certain blobs from being flashed properly with RM. Also, some options can wipe the partition the RM flashed 'CWM' is on, completely removing your non NVFLASHED recovery. While it is extremely rare that this CWM could do permanent damage to the device, it's just generally safer and more consistent to use the 'real' CWM that you flash to the device with NVFLASH, as it is on the proper partition and separate from any partition that a ROM might attempt to format.
Makes sense. Goodbye Rom Manager. Thanks guys.

Hi, dont know if this has been asked before, but it's there a way to somehow install another kernel (maybe overclocked) instead of the current kernel? And I like the HTC camera present in Sense ROMs instead of the camera in MIUI (my current ROM) or in Cyanogen ROMs. Can I install the HTC camera over my current one?

First of this should be in the Q & A section and the search function isn't broken but here is a kernel

Just flash it in recovery like a ROM. Be sure to wipe cache and salvia prior to flashing.

The search button is yours and everyones friend. I can say never once did I started a new thread asking a question that's already been asked. Actually the only thread I've ever started was one thanking the devs and the people making guides on how to do anything with this phone. This is my 1st android and I've flashed a few ROMs and kernels in the few months Ive had it cause of the info I found here. And I've never had any problems. All the info you'll ever need(and some you dont) is on XDA. And if after a relentless search for your question leads to nothing, then by all means ask away. Not tryin to hate, just stating facts
Thanks creglenn. I can never seem to find the right section to post in. il look there.
