So I'm starting up a Youtube channel for tech-related stuff, and want to start it out with some Android and/or Infuse related videos. Some of these will be product reviews, whether for the phone itself, accessories, or Roms and apps, and some will be how-to videos for different things on Android.
What I need from you guys is suggested video topics for the first few videos. I'm thinking I'll definitely do a review on a couple Infuse Roms, and maybe a how-to on flashing a Rom, but other than that, it's wide open.
Thanks ahead of time for any input.
How to Odin back to stock for noobs would be a good one.

Here is something epic you could try. I did this on my Acer Tablet:
1) Download the wiimote controller app from the market as well as an NES emulator.
2) Connect your infuse via that little HDMI thing (so I don't know exactly what it is called, as us Canadians got the short end of the stick with this phone and don't get one) to your big screen TV
3) NES GAMES WITH WIIMOTE ON BIG SCREEN TV WITHOUT HAVING TO BUY GAMES FOR YOUR WII!
Although I am not sure if doing any of that stuff has any legal complications......
How bout "How to post in the correct section at XDA"?
Was that meant for me? This is Infuse related, after all.
YouTube vids really helped me. People like me want to upgrade from stock, want the latest most reliable, stock comes to mind. Rooting, Want to know how to over clock. Oh and not being too eager to post a new thread on best rom and kernel. Tho it's good question cos roms etc constantly upgrade.

pledge enough money to get a cm dev to buy one for testing. dont expect mhl to work on cm7 though. they may be able to do it but they only work with open source drivers, samsung is has many proprietary drivers.
Where would I pledge money at. And mhl didnt even play my movie I bought on media hub said something about cant play media out it would only do sound. Seems like others have same problem.

We already will be working on porting it. Other things must come first. CWM built into kernel and ext4 filesystem...then the focus will be CM.

I've tried a bit of searching and while there are a few threads about how to disable phone features, there is no discussion of anyone making a specific ROM that would that would focus the Captivate (or any Galaxy S I suppose) into a Media Player device. No idea how hard that would be and whether it would be as easy as taking an existing ROM and just rearranging and deleting the phone stuff.
Seems that with ICS being designed to work as both a Tablet and Phone OS, you could accomplish this with relative ease. I'm not a coder or ROM developer though, so I could be completely wrong on that too.
At the very least, the battery life would almost certainly increase if the phone never even tried to use the antenna or look for cell service. Seems like it might run smoother too and processing emphasis could be rearranged.
Any thoughts?

Im looking for a completely New and Unique ROM for the inspire. Most of the Roms are based off of either Sense or ICS and i dont want either of those. I have also tried CM7 and MIUI and liked those but i want a new rom that looks very cool and wow's people when they see it Thanks!!

LOL!
in before thread closed.
look around a little bit, most of us are not here to brag to our friends but are here to learn. Might want to look into an iphone if youve already tried aosp,aokp,sense,miui. There isn't anything else unless it is a homebrew that isn't released. I don't think youll 'wow' too many people with such an old phone at this point. Only way to have unique is to make your own, otherwise you are just running something TONS of other people already have. Or just change your launcher, most people dont know anything beyond the frontend anyways.

Don't root and flash a ROM to your G2x if you want it to fully work. I rooted and flashed Eagles Blood. At first there were a few bugs which I worked out. Then I found out the main problem that is absent from most threads on how to root and flash your G2x. They don't mention you'll have no video! What? There was no video recording, no Netflix, no ESPN and any other app that just so happens to let you stream or record video. I'm just saying it would be nice to see a warning or something telling you about it. Also, there is a lot of network data connection issues no matter which ROM I used. Beware G2x owners! I get the whole use at your own risk thing but you lose a main capability of the phone. If I just wanted to call and text I wouldn't have a smartphone.

Wow, if you want complete functionality go with a gingerbread rom, like stock rooted, or cm7, not ics. If you read in the OP of ics roms here, it lists what problems there are: no video, somewhat video acceleration, meaning only a few things dont work, among other things.

You can get netflix, video recording and playback all working on the ICS roms as well if you try.

Sunster you are my hero lol.
The only reason why a lot of videos won't work on ICS is because its missing its video drivers. To compensate the tegra2 will try to render them with the processor but honestly it can't do as much as the GPU can. If you were to install a gingerbread based OS you will get all those functionality back. It may not be included in the description of ICS Roms anymore cause most people already know about ICS not having video drivers. Anyways if you are going to flash a new Rom I recommend Cyanogenmod 7 or Eaglesblood GB based Rom but those are just my personal preferences.

I'm with the OP on this one. Rooting and flashing is so over rated. You can modify and enhance your phone with almost anything in google market. Flashing was just a fad for phones back in 2007. With our modern phones and google market, not only is it unnecessary, but very risky to flash as mentioned by the OP.
It's much more preferable to flash with an official OEM ROM, since unofficial roms could be maliciously programmed, which makes me suspicious why alot of amatuer developers bash LG and Nvidia for trying to make sure there's no open back doors for bad intentioned programmers to hack unsuspecting newcomers.

I beg to differ I would have ditched this phone long ago if it wasn't for the custom ROMs. The stock ROM gave me SO many issues and for being so featureless it sure did contain a lot of bugs itself in my experience.

Lol malicious code... get out of here. Some crap in the play store has malicious code. You have way more of a chance catching something from there.
If you're so paranoid then just stick with vanilla cm7... better yet just get an iPhone or windows phone then.

I'm with this guy. As a result of the dev community supporting this phone, I haven't completely lost it and gone on to make the sales rep who sold me this thing eat it in send me to jail fashion. And frankly...we must have some real upscale individuals flashing roms around here if they're worried about some dev seeing the mundane details of their lives...I'd hate to think what would happen if someone knew when I was running to the store because my girl said I needed to grab milk and eggs. If you're using your phone to do things with security risks (like sending your credit card info out into the void) might want to consider not doing those things in the first place...

The original post just remind us how difficult and chancy rooting and flashing are for any phone, and particularly for the G2x, which at the moment simply lacks the software to run ics with all its functionality. Flashing is never as easy as it's made out here, and I doubt it leads to satisfactory results for most people.

I have been using XDA since the days of my HTC Excalibur and never had a problem. If anything rooting adds a ton of functionality to your advice also allowing you to remove all of the crapware from your phone. As far as the OP the reason no one says no video anymore for cm9 is because its understood. Did you even read the thread before you flashed the rom?

So keep your phone stock and enjoy it in all of it's frustrating glory. I wanted to do bad things to this phone before I rooted it.

There was one early on by Mr Hyde which I installed and have been using ever since. That was discontinued about a year ago though. Was just wondering if there's been any development since.
See...there's hardly any way to get answers here,,, I mean thank God for the geniuses touching down to earth ever so often with there brilliant work but then they flutter back into their bong smoke filled dens to game on or whatever other strange itch they're wanting to scratch at that particular moment...lol. but answers for the old folks....hehehe not a chance!

C'mon man, don't be a troll. There are very few owners/users of your particular tab. Which is why there is little development for it. Have you seen Shakatus contributions to the community of P51xx.Take a look for yourself, and then try spouting off. If he, or any other, of the great devs around here actually had one of your models, maybe they may be able to figure something out. But, he doesn't. So he wont. Unless of course you want to send him yours to try, but I can guess the answer to that. Bashing people around here for problems that you are having (or unwilling to do anything about, except lean on others ie: learn something for yourself) is unacceptable and will be reported. No trolls allowed......next!
I wasn't trying to be crass....I will be happy to donate or whatever in order to advance the work on this model....but there's no current anything for this device.....I've ran down every link and thread trying to find anything useful to break VZW's hold on this device, so it's not a matter of not researching or being lazy....my apologies.
