After read a lot finally i,ve decided but now.. i must choose between jt,s and entropy,s builds also there ia a guide of jts build made by superweapons whick include a .tar file with bootloaders + recovery image.. or choose back to stock using qkster heimdall and then flash entropys kernel in order to get red cwm recovery? I'm a lil bit confused of what to use.. i appreciate so much your help

I've ran both. Entropys is the one go with. Its smooth and i haven't had any issues with it thus far. Plus its here on xda and you will get more support.

+1 for using Entropy's build. He actively supports it on xda and knows the Infuse. It runs very well for an early build, and will only get better.

Entropy's is the way to go.
Its really your preference jt's build can be over locked to 1.6 entropy's can onIy be undervolted personally i am with these guys as there is more support on xda and nothing against jt who as I understand is most responsible for the port but entropy is the **** with this device
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
I flashed entropy's over the weekend, came from cm7 and I have to say this rom is awesome! Even at its early stage. This rom can be your daily driver easily! Just wish BT was working as I personally feel that's an important feature especially these days when it comes to using hands free calling however these guys (jt and entropy) dedicate their own free time for us infuse users which a lot of us appreciate. They've already done a lot so not gonna complain. It does come down to your own personal preference.

Flash both
YOU decide
this is like asking for a "best rom"

only YOU can decide
Entropy's Build
i have been using his build for quite some time. Only problem is sometimes it likes to freeze up when you lock the phone - solution that works ... keep pressing the power key until it responds -(works every time)
Ive got jt's build on as it just works for me. Once i find something that works, i usually just keep it on. If entropy fixes the camera then ill come over, but until then honestly unless for the wifi and overclock, there is not much of a difference.

I'm Running the stock FROYO 2.2 and was wondering if I could flash any KB1 kernel on it?

Are you stock stock? lagfix? rooted?
Those will all work. being stock the first kernal you flash will have to be a .tar version with the full version of Odin (ensure you have 3 button combo)
My current favorite is Onix. Works great and is very stable. Plus it add UV and OC features. AND gets updates all the time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930679 flash the .tar from here, for Onix
Then flash an i9000 modem.
Yup, I'm runnin stock, rooted and have the supercurio voodoo lagfix kernel. But I'm lookin for somthin different that might speed up my phone... I've never done any OC/UV so I'm not to worried about that that much haha

That kernel has clockwork.........so you don't need to use a .tar version.
Use the CWM versions put to the root of your SD and flash with clockwork Recovery
Even if your not into OC/UV the kernal is still great at stock settings.
So its as easy as flashing from CWM?

If you choose to run an I9000 kernel then you need to match an I9000 modem to it.
They are a simple CWM flash as well. there is a thread on here somewhere with all the current 2.1,2.2 and I9000 modems in it. Just do a search

I have read that others have done it with little success. Any reason why you are holding back from just flashing a full ROM. You are almost there and quite frankly, I think you are safer going with a prepacked ROM over putting pieces together on your own. If you are comfortable with rooting and CWM then you have nothing more to learn to do a full ROM flash. I have never looked back since I first flashed. I've tried several and would say my favorites so far are Serendipity and FireFly. If you want to stay more Stock like, Cognition is also really great stuff.
Ok thanks guys.... Ill look into that

Even with the prepacked roms most people do not leave them alone, and mod and change the guts of them to their taste.
I don't see how learning to change things one part at a time is a bad thing, as you learn how everything works together, and will have a better understanding of it as a whole.
That's true.... but ill look into a rom haha.... hopefully I don't become an addict haha jk

Get something designed to work together first. That gives you an easy start and stability out of the box.
After that, and after making a backup (get a backup right after you root and install cwm, then again after you successfully flash your first rom), you should feel fairly confident in trying out different kernel/modem combos.
Just remember that if you're using an i9000 kernel, you must use an i9000 modem. Likewise if you are using a captivate kernel, you should pair it with a captivate modem (kb1).
Here's an excellent list of kernels and modems and the safe combinations.
And, of course, there's always the modem thread.
Nice! Thanks man

You can't make such a bold statement, and not include info like what ROM you're running and other relevant info. There's also no need to start a new thread...there's already a thread on the Gingerbread kernel in the development section.
So, because you're having problems, you want to warn everyone on problems that no one else is having??..

Wouldn't it be great if there was a Mytouch 4G forum that was specifically for roms, kernals, and any other type of hacking? Oh wait there is one and this thread is in the wrong forum.

you're a retard.. the reason why your phone is freezing on lockscreen, is cause you either have setcpu installed & have your screen off settings too low! don't have Max set below 368, which 245 freezes your phone! set min& Max to 368 and you will not get any freeze ups and save a lot of battery also! try it!
just don't make a thread about smashing someone's kernal who works so hard to make it for us! faux has great kernals, & you should give him the credit.
Lol sorry. Was on latest cm when tried it. Long day forgot what all I went through with this. Went back to stock rom after it was screwing up. Prolly try again with cm and this kernal. Think maybe it was a bad download causing the problem for me. Although would think I would get some kind of error when installing it.

First check whatever Rom is fully downloaded. Then check to make sure you fully downloaded the kernel. Make sure you have the proper kernel for your rom. Make sure you wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Then install the proper kernel when it boots up let everything load for 4-5 minutes then reboot. If your using a low voltage version try stock version. Also use the cfs kernel and not bfs since your phone is lagging.

Good enough for a DD. But it does have some of it's minor quirks and bugs. Nothing too crazy though. Try it.
It is a great rom. By far the best alpha version of ICS for the g2x IMO. It is stable enough for a daily driver. I have been using it as such since versio 1.0. No maijor issues here
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
ive also been using HFS as a daily driver since 1.0 and loving it!!! i tried EB and AOKP but both of those only stayed on my phone for about an hour and a half, long enough to play around and figure out i wanna keep HFS on my phone. video recording and playback dont work yet on ICS roms without the proper drivers, but theres videocam illusion in the play store, its free and works. and theres mxplayer in the play store too for video playback, just gotta set it to use SW decoding instaed of HW. so go for it!! youll like it.

Did u flash a different kernel? If so was it morfics? By using all 'stock' rom and such you shouldnt have this issue. If so grab yourself a copy of the nullifier, link in my sig, nullify and reflash.. or just flash faux's kernel and replace the boot animation... and should be good...

this looks really great
Been using this ROM since the first day 1.4 was released and i have not had any major issues, a reboot here and there. nothing i was not doing with any other ROM. But ICS is sick, i don't think i can go back.
I tried it for a couple days, it can be laggy if you are trying to do a bunch of stuff at once. I guess that could be different depending on if you have your CPU at the stock frequency or not. Overall it is pretty nice though, if you don't mind some lag here and there its great. After all ICS wasn't released too long ago
Not too stable yet, but no ICS ROM is. Def a great ROM to see what ICS is all about. I tried EB and HFS and my phone liked EB better. I say its worth flashing and trying all ICS ROMS and seeing for yourself.
Pharaoh, thanks for the information on the kernel/boot ani. Would you mind posting a link to Faux's kernel you recommended for this rom, please?
I've tried a lot of ways the only from I got to work on my G2X is Genesis from Mr.Apocalypse and Hellfire before 1.6 and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I do the regular wipe data/cache/Davilk and its a no go. I even used some new Nuliffier <-- lol I know that's not spelled right but I got that the single wipe and then tried to flash it and its a no go sooo can someone help me out and tell me if I'm missing something ??????

There's been a bug with 4.0.4 roms that requires you to flash it twice, one after another, nothing in between. Next time you try a rom like that, take note of how long it takes to install. If it only took a few seconds, it wasn't properly flashed. Flash again right away and you should notice it taking longer to install. Then flash your gapps and/or kernel if ya need it and reboot. Should be good.

It doesn't effect the EB AOSP ROM. It's 4.0.3.
@Caliyork yeah your right I really ain't notice that but I'll be looking at that, have you been successful putting kernels on because I have the same problem with that ?? I mean I got one to go thru but when it fully booted up the touch didn't work and I couldn't unlock it so it wasn't functional. I had to restore and run a rom without a kernel.

are you flashing the proper kernel, sounds like you grabbed a kernel for a different phone, I'm guessing something from the Morfic collection?
Hmm could be, but I was in the g2x forum and I browsed for kernels and I got fauxs 123 kernel, Trinity, and Harshs and none of them seemed to have worked, I used Mr.Apocalypse and none of them went thru. Cud u give me links to see if any were the right ones ? Do you use OC/UV ?

I'm not sure referring to quality control is accurate, but phones do have bad batches or manufacturing tolerances and what not. Can't always get the cream of the crop.
That's practically the one reason why I chose the G2x instead of the HTC MyTouch 4G lol. Bad EMMC happens to die on you and you've got yourself an expensive brick.
Have you tried any other ROM other than ICS roms? Trying to figure out if the problem is restricted to those only. Might help.

Haha yeah I've heard that before but I'm not sure if I have a bad batch because I got Genesis, AOKP, and Hellfire (ICS roms) to work fine but could not get any custom kernels that supported OC/UV to work on them. Uhh I actually been using nothing but ICS roms I never tried and other roms that supported GB just cuz I wanted to be updated. Are you on any other Roms or you using a ICS rom ?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I've used a lot of different ROMs, and they all work fine. But I'm on the stock LG 2.3.4 that was released lately, and that's been running really super.
Flashing ICS doesn't necessarily mean that you're up to date when a lot of things don't work. I've used AOKP, EB's AOSP, HFS and Owain's. I have multiple problems with data dropping, APN's disappearing when entering Airplane mode or mass storage just completely does not work. Not to mention, NO NETFLIX!
As far as kernel issues, make sure you're installing the appropriate ones for the P999 and make sure they're ICS specific and not for the GB kernels.
Edit: If I remember, EB's AOSP uses a modified Faux Kernel that supports OC right off the bat, so there's no need to flash a different kernel.
That's true never thought of it like that where can I get the rom you are using ???? And yeah I tried to get EB AOSP to work but it wont for me -_____- lol
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I'm using a stock rom. If you feel adventurous then flash the new V21y baseband (50% likely to brick your phone hard). If not, I would just stick with GB. My all time favorite is WeaponG2x.

I'd like to run that as my phone ran better on and came stock with froyo. Once I updated to Ginger it began to suck. Force closes, lagging. It been terrible but I can't upgrade the phone until next year at upgrade time. It has been a great $0.97 phone. I've tried to load roms and it doesn't work. I get some e:signature verification error. What would be the best way to load this rom. I am new to all of this and would love to learn more. However even in the tutorials I run across acronyms I don't know. Could someone please give me the easiest way to load this rom.

Two things:
1. If you're having trouble with acronyms, take a look at the "XDA Terms and Acronyms" post. That should help you out.
2. To get around the 3e signature issue, your best bet would be to flash a Froyo kernel with ClockworkMod recovery already included via Odin or Heimdall. I would suggest Onix, as it's a good kernel and I know it works with Firefly from previous experience.
thanks
thanks for the help. it is certainly appreciated. i just flashed the odin kernal. does it matter that the phone is currently running stock gb? also how long does it take to load? i like literally just did it at 10:14pm on wednesday june 20, 2012.
Well I flashed a stock kernal with cwm already inside and was then able to download firefly and flash it. I really like it. Ultra smooth. Much faster than stock gb. Thanks to all who responded.

Team Phoenix aka The Collective aka The Family did come out with a great GB ROM called Mosaic. While Mosaic is themed blue, it does have a flashable Firefly theme here if you're partial to that.
They also came out with an ICS ROM, Fusion. Unfortunately it doesn't have a Firefly theme but it does have a green theme that looks pretty good as well.
It is important to note that the Firefly ROM is the only one that has call recording. It was never implemented in any of the more recent ROMs. Hopefully this helps.
I like firwfly in that it is quicker than the stock gb and it supports call recording. I needed it at the request of my attorney to record all calls with my sons mom. Id like to get back to a gb based rom that supports call recording. I don't want to try a ics rom until its more stable and safer. Don't want to render my phone useless.
