All the gingerbread roms you see are unofficial ATT Infuse leaks or ports from another device
Big Dog Infuse I997 Zeus Rom

Gingerbread has not been officially released for Infuse yet. Checking for updates will do nothing until an official is released by AT&T.
Otherwise, you have to download one of the many roms on this site. Then you have to use a tool such as clockworkmod or ODIN to flash it to your phone. The thread for each rom will usually tell you which tool to use with some instructions. As bignate78 said, these are not official releases. Some are unaltered (stock) while others have heavy modifications to look and function. Be sure to READ as much as you can before asking questions or attemting to flash for the first time. Developers here will bite your head off if you don't take the time to read the threads.

At&t is behind didn't they promise gingerbread in 2011 its almost 2012

Like stated below it is not an official release from AT&T. But after trying about 5 different ROMs, all of which where awesome, just couldn't find one to my liking.
So I went back to stock below is one I used, everything meaning all hardware works great, yes it takes it back to stock gingerbread which is great for the Infuse brings out the performance of the phone. IMHO
[AT&T][2.3.6]Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install
Plus I rooted this using the
[APP]SuperOneClick v2.3.2 - Better LG Phone Support!
All of which are located in the "Infuse 4G Android Development"

[Q] ICS ROM for Samsung Galaxy S

Hi Forum
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 which is out of warranty. As is known to most, Samsung is most likely not going to come out with an ICS upgrade to this model.
I live in India and travel frequently to the UK, and am therefore looking for a stable ICS ROM that will work on my phone and render the phone usable in India and the UK. I did try with a Cynogen Mod 9 ROM for the i9000 which worked in the UK, but the moment I landed in India, the SIM refused to register with the GSM network in India. My IMEI number also changed when I flashed my phone with this ROM.
Currently, my phone was brought back to a working condition with a Samsung Android 2.1 ROM, but this ROM is really bad and makes my phone freeze frequently.
I am looking forward to some advice from the XDA Forum members to point me to a stable ICS ROM that I can download and flash my phone with, so that the phone works in India.

There are no stable ICS roms for GS2 yet (at least from Cyanogenmod) but they have a gingerbread one (which is better than the 2.1 you have ;P )
Here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxys2
Anyway, I suggest you stay out of ICS until they make a stable ROM. Port only if you can help develop it

Thanks For the reply. However, I am looking for an update for the Galaxy S. I do not have an S2. My Galaxy S has been sparingly used and I think it has at least a year left in it.

Ooooops I'm really sorry about that. here's the link for the stable CM7 build for the Galax S:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxysmtd
I suggest you use this for the mean time while waiting for the ICS Cyanogen

I would prefer that you use the rom from team icssgs RC4.2 (4.0.3)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
I had cyanogen mod 7 installed but was not very happy with it.
So try it out.

Faryaab is also doing a good job. You should check this out : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628028

I tried ICS Custom Rom from Darky. It worked fine to my SGS1 without any problem. You can try it.
But I already changed to the latest one Jellybean Custom Rom from C-Rom Bean. I find this better in terms of graphics and Google applications.

How do I root my stock G2x?

So, I've looked and looked, and found nothing.
I am on a basically stock G2x running stock 2.3.4. I have flashed CWM 5.0.2.0. So, how do I root? At this moment, I'm not worried about loading a customer ROM. I wanted ICS, but it looks a little too buggy for me right now. Regardless, before I do anything ROM wise, I need to root so I can use Titanium to do a full backup.
So, how do I JUST root without installing a custom ROM?

SuperOneClick also worked for me on 2.3.4. (Whichever tool you use, use at your own risk!)

Very important:
Before you go installing any ROMs you need to know you that your phone's baseband (sometimes abbreviated BB) is probably March 2012 (some refer to it as v21y baseband). You can verify by going to Settings > About Phone and scrolling down a little and looking for a month and a date in the baseband name (i.e. Mar 11 2012).
Here are a few of the many threads about the one problem you're going to have installing a custom ROM if you have a March 2012 (save kwes's modified 2.3.4 stock).

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643702
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603057
In summary: March 2012 baseband only works with 2.3.4 stock ROM and kwes's modified 2.3.4 stock ROM. If you flash another ROM you will not change the baseband so you will be stuck with a new and incompatible baseband that won't work with your ROM. The only way to change the baseband is to update using LG support tool. In other words, the only way to get a custom ROM problem-free in regards to baseband compatibility is to downgrade to stock 2.3.3 (which will downgrade both ROM and baseband) via LG Support Tool. All of the custom ROMs (including all of the ICS ones) work with, I believe, all of the 2011 basebands.

Thanks for the info! Looks like I'm on March 2012. Originally I wanted ICS, but the more I read about the issues, the more I think I should wait for the official release. The data drops would kill me, and I stream video a lot, so that would be out. Didn't LG say they would roll out ICS to the G2x in Q2 of 2012? I believe we are in Q2, woot! I just can't justify the risk vs. reward for a ROM change, unless you guys have suggestions... lol
Thanks again!

If you use the stock rooted kwes rom with that baseband you will have no issues at all...
Ive been running it for a few weeks and its as solid as rock...i have it OC'ed even and no issues ...
that baseband (march2012) has worked wonders for my phone...

LG has not stated the G2x would get ICS. The statement you are talking about it the European version P990 and has been move to 3rd Quarter now. I don't expect to get ICS as T-Mobile has EOL'd our device.

Is there a 4.0 Stock International ROM or Firmware

My boss gave me his galaxy s2 skyrocket to flash
i was originally running JB 4.1 on a custom rom, but i tried like 2 roms and they were to buggy for him and not stable
so since i couldnt find a really stable JB 4.1
hes asked to see if i can find the 4.0 Firmware of this phone but for the INTERNATIONAL version
I wasn't even aware the Skyrocket had a international version
What do you guys think
?

Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE comes in:
ATT: SGH-i727
T-Mobile: SGH-T898
Rogers: SGH-i727R
International: GT-I9210/T
ATT & Rogers are easily interchangable, the Hercules (SGH-T898) may need a little tweaking to get it working right but not too sure on the international version, I've heard people flashing the international version with CM9 for the SR but haven't heard of anyone flashing the International version of ICS to the SR.
The hardware is identical with only difference being the CPU Model# which is the same CPU they used on the T-Mobile version (APQ8060) vs (MSM8260).
Really its best to flash only the ROMs that are made for your phone but if the hardware is similar you can probably do it but I don't see why you want to.
If he wants he can use AT&T stock, CM9 or a custom ROM.
Does he want something from the international version of ICS?
Remember using a different ROM for a different phone you will need to have a different Modem and may have a chance to brick so only do at your own risk.

maybe you are doing something wrong, the later cm10 roms are very stable

He wants international so he can get be able to Text in Chinese etc etc
When I upgraded him to 4.1 the Chinese stuff was all good to goo
Had issues getting it to work on 4.0, the text would come out in Chinese, but the receiver would get a bunch of symbols, like i said upgrading to 4.1 fixed this, i think 4.1 and more languages or something
Thats why he wants international, he travels a lot as well so its convenient.

I've flashed several phones with several roms, I have my own Galaxy S3 running perfect on a AOKP rom
When i flashed my bosses phone I did the usual, wipe data/ dalvik / factory reset / flash rom
First ROM i used was Superlite, phone would go black and would require force shut off, this would happen randomly during idle or something or overnight
So i switched to SKYJB 5.0
no more screen hanging up black but got screen flickering issues, so i went into dev options and checked the H/W option..
as of now he took the phone back since he said that was the real issue.
Which rom would you recommend that runs very stable?

things have changed, like i said all new cm10 are stable, well mine is which is superlite v7.0, but that one has no chinese support, but superheavy does, cm10 is 4.1
as for international, he just has to worry about the radio and apns

So which CM10 would you suggest? specifically

not a good question to ask on this forum, "which is best", read the individual rom threads and see which ones would suit your/his needs, but since i only use my rom, then superheavy should fulfill his needs, its posted on my sig for superlite

I'm about to flash your Superheavy rom. I believe i might be on a custom kernel, could you point me a stock kernel or kernal that runs great on your rom? Thanks

problems with p509

im having a few problems. the first is finding a good rom that will improve my battery life. the other is getting gas buddy to work on the custom rom. i currently use cm10, cant remember other details than that. also editing apn is necessary since im with straight talks att. my last problem is im not able to access 3g, which is supported by my phone and straight talk. im stuck on the edge mobile data.

I'm betting baseband is an issue here. The P509 is an old baseband device. The P509 never got an official update from Froyo to GingerBread which would have then made the P509 a new baseband device. But, it's possible also that the APN isn't correctly setup. I can't say since I'm with Simple Mobile on my P509. The P500, which was originally an AT&T device did. The P509 was originally for TMobile. Slightly different operating frequencies possibly. I'm no expert, just my two cents in an attempt to help.

That's because you installed a P500 ROM, not because you upgraded baseband. "Phone Model" information is read from system/build.prop.
For best battery performance, GB is it. ICS isn't too bad, but worse than GB. JB is even worse than ICS in most cases. As for manually editing your APN's, I have to also, everytime I flash a ROM since I'm with Simple Mobile. I don't know what Gas Buddy is, so I can't help there.
As for your 3G problem, unless your ROM has been setup/instructed to use 2G only, I dunno what to say.
