Hey Infusers,
Exciting times and monumental occurrences have graced our phone in the last few days thanks to scott.hart.bti, Yuma75, araemo, jt1134, PoXFreak, Pony Express, and all those other mad geniuses that enabled a successful JellyBean port.
I'd like to express my sincere thanks to those guys for their much appreciated hard work. :good:
I followed that thread obsessively, along the way using up my 8 thanks and even continued to smack thanks on the xda app (but I still didn't think that was enough lol the novelty wears off after the 97930923845540354th time)
The unimaginable collaborative effort yielded only great success and I wish I had the capacity to build and develop like those guys. Once again, THANK YOU!
ANYWAY
I'm running Entropy's 6/27 build CM9 on my AT&T Infuse in the U.S. and I LOVE IT! I honestly wasn't even going to consider flashing anything else until I noticed any problems...which, I haven't yet, CM9 is SWEET. But after combing that entire thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129), the allure of Google Now, Project Butter, and all other assorted JellyBean goodness tempt me :laugh:.
I need whatever ROM I'm running to be great for day-to-day usage and scott.hart.bti declared that JellyBean was no longer a Work in Progress ROM. I would want MMS functionality, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi as strong as possible (I only have 200 MB/Month of Data), and flashlight if possible, So, I'm soliciting opinions here, is it a good idea to switch from CM9 to JB?
To be honest, I'm not even having major problems with CM9 (Wi-Fi is weak, no flashlight, and known camera glitch, no biggie) but knowing that JellyBean's perfection might be a flash away, it's something I find myself seriously considering.
Note: Yes, I'm on ICS, but I have CWM recovery rainbows and have never used Heimdall (don't even know what it is!) before, so I never flashed new Bootloaders (I really don't wanna brick lol).
If I were to go through with flashing JellyBean, as I understand it, I'd have to:
Odin back to stock (never used that before either :-/)
Update to GB
Update to ICS
Flash GB boot loaders
Flash Blue recovery
Flash JB
And then, let's say if I bricked sometime in the future, because I flashed new bootloaders, I'd never be able to return to stock, right?
Opinions welcome! And I figured I'd start a new thread because I saw a few people on the fence about it as well, so this would help more than just me Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply!
So, yes, go through the entire process, flash the new bootloader to have a working recovery in JB, and even if I do I'll be able to return to stock?
Yeah, that would be the one I go with, is MMS working for you? Thanks!

I have not tried yet, have not had the need. Probably not, may need the new apn. And make sure when you flash the bootloader your phone is securely connected to your computer and it can flash multiple other things, as a bootloader brick is the worst and you cant recover unless you go to mobiletechworldvideos and pay 40 for them to fix it... or get a new phone lol.
In my opinion jelly bean is still not as stable as cm9, but very near. As you may already know, 07/23 was taken down beacause its causing frozen infuses to many people but next build should be quite good, maybe even better than cm9. So my suggestion would be to upgrade to JB as soon as the build is out
As for the GB bootloaders, you don't necessarily have to go back to stock to flash them. It is not that big of a risk as long as the process is not interupted.
Let me know what your final decision is and i would be glad to help and provide you with links and instructions

^^^^ the infuse doesn't flash dumped bootloaders, only official ones from sammy. nobody really knows why, but whatever built in safety mechinism the infuse has makes it somewhat safe. this is also made true by that fact that there are fewwer revisions of the bootloaders and sammy has always released them in pairs including boot.bin and sbl.bin on this hardware. i don't think there have been reports of totally hosed bootloaders other than early experiments trying to flash dumped rogers bootloaders on att devices with different flash programs. i think i have seen partially hosed reports that still boot the phone in some form of download mode even though the screen image is corrupt or missing but i'm not sure i've ever seen an unflashable infuse.
it is not technically "safe" but it is done in the samsung update process somehow and has not proven too high risk like it was on the galaxy s series which was plagued with 3-button problems, numerous official bootloader revisions, firmware releases that only inculde 1 bootloader image, and incompatibilities between sbl.bin and boot.bin based on build date or carrier version even at times with the same firmware version on the phones.
Hmmm same as CM9 and not to stable......but for me its quite nice.

I would tell you to wait until a more stable build comes out because MMS either works or it doesn't, the build with Butter has been removed for the time being as many were having constant freezing issues, not sure if BT works without issues, Wifi works well, to my knowledge and experience, the flashlight does not work yet.
I would say wait....but......in the end, it is up to you
! agree

Thanks to all of you for the really quick and helpful replies! I cannot express my appreciation enough! :thumbup:
Especially Andros11, DUDE THANK YOU. I'm gonna wait it out for now as I am content with CM9 but I will eventually make the switch. At that time, can I PM you?
And regarding what you just posted:
“As for the GB bootloaders, you don't necessarily have to go back to stock to flash them. It is not that big of a risk as long as the process is not interupted."
Are you saying that I could flash the boot loaders from my current ROM? :what:
If so, how? And what would the disadvantage of that be? Obviously, the good would be no more rainbows! ^___^
Thanks again, everybody!

glad to know you will give a try to the jelly beans
Of course, feel free to PM at anytime.
As for the bootloaders, that's exactly what I mean! They can be flashed while running GB or ICS since they both support them.
You would have to flash them using Odin.. there is no downside at all, just good news .. bye bye to your rainbows !
Here are the bootloaders and some instructions on how to flash them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29203437&postcount=33

I am by no means a developer. I am simply a themer trying to learn. I am OCD about everything I install on any device I use. I try and try and try many combinations of mods until I find what works the best for me. I also add mods that I like and fix things in the roms general theme that I do not like. And this is exactly what I have done here....
I was not going to post this, but my testers asked me to so here it is. If the thread gets retarded because people can not follow instructions I will get the thread removed.....
BEFORE YOU EVER ATTEMPT TO USE THIS YOU MUST HAVE FLASHED WEAPON 3.0_R1 AND LET IT BOOT ONCE. OR YOU WILL BOOTLOOP.
YOU CAN FIND THE ORIGINAL WEAPON HERE:
WEAPON 3.0_R1
I post this with the tags as [MOD] for one reason and one reason only. AND THAT IS BECAUSE IT CAN NOT BE FLASHED BY ITSELF!!!!!! YOU MUST BE ALREADY USING WEAPON TO FLASH THIS!!!!!!!!
FOLLOW THE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS OR DO NOT BOTHER TO TRY TO USE THIS!!!
Ok this is my basic mod of Weapon G2x. This is what I used as my daily driver for a long time. I have had over 20 testers try it with nothing but positive results. As far as I know everything is working. There is still some buggy spots in the stock browser this is not due to any of the hacks applied by Whitehawkx or me. It is due to LGs lack of coding, or should I say LGs failure of implicating correct coding. And as with any stock LG based ROM there is some weirdness here and there.
What I did:
a.) Tweaked the frameworks in a few spots to allow quicker transitions.
b.) I added ICS sounds all the way around the ROM.
c.) Changed out all the lockscreen clock fonts.
d.) Added the init.d scripts I like to use. (I will add explanation of why I used what I used down the way.)
e.) Added Center clock mod, I did not make it roll up because I always like to see the time and date when I pulldown my notification bar. Yes some text will overlap but I always use tweaks to change out my clock color so it matches whatever theme I am using. If you flash a theme over this you will break the center clock and some of the tweaks, but other then that there shouldnt be too much of an overall affect. I might add move clock to tweaks but I doubt I will be able to have time to do so.
f.) Build.prop tweaks for gps and such....they dont do much but I figure every little bit helps with this POS device
g.) I am sure there is some others I have forgotten.....cause I am working on several projects at once....
Ok for the init.d scripts I know some cancel the others out to an extent. Minfree is set to the same levels in edttweaks and juwe11s ramscript but juwes also gives other settings, that for me work out well. I also added a few others I use that help me out battery wise. With the init.d scripts I included I get about 20 hours with 2+hours of display time. Results will vary for everyone, but for me it has been better as well as for those who tested it.
NOTE: I only use the stock kernel that comes with the rom. From my experience and from my testers that has shown the best results.
Known issues to my knowledge:
You must already be on WeaponG2x_3.0_R1 to flash this or YOU WILL BOOTLOOP!! LIKE I SAID FOLLOW MY INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS!
A.} The way to install my mod, is stupid...but it is the only way I can get it to work for those of you who want it. So follow the instructions or don't attempt to install it.....
B.} The stock browser will go stupid sometimes..Once again complete and utter failure on LG. This happens on any rom that is based off of LGs code.....
C.} External SD will not mount unless you mount it through CWM recovery, or if you format the card after flashing Weapon.
D.} You must already be on WeaponG2x_3.0_R1 to flash this or YOU WILL BOOTLOOP!! LIKE I SAID FOLLOW MY INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
_________________________________________________
OK. Now for the part I am sure most of you can't follow. The install instructions......
_________________________________________________
1.) FIRST FLASH WEAPON_3.0_R1, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE IT INSTALLED DO NOT BOTHER TO TRY TO BOOT THIS MOD/ROM.
2.) ONCE YOU HAVE WEAPON INSTALLED REBOOT INTO CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY.
3.) WIPE CACHE AND GO TO ADVANCED AND WIPE DALVIK CACHE.
4.) DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING BESIDES DALVIK AND CACHE!
5.) INSTALL THE MOD OVER WEAPON.
6.) ONCE THE INSTALL IS DONE REBOOT AND LET IT SETTLE FOR A FEW MINUTES.
DOWNLOAD WEAPON THE NEW CLIP HERE:
WEAPON_NEW_CLIP_V-0.1
....Now like I said YOU MUST HAVE WEAPON 3.0 RC1 already installed or you will bootloop. And you WILL bootloop if you do not follow the install instructions I gave EXACTLY. I do not know why, I tried my best to fix it but I couldnt. I am not a developer I am just a noob themer trying to learn my way around android....
This is pretty much the only time I am going to give this out simply because those who tested it asked me to. Otherwise I wouldnt have given it out. I have alot of projects going on between my cm7 themes and roms I am working on. I will do my best to help anyone who has issues, but if you cant follow the instructions I do not know what to tell you.
If you did not follow the instructions and get stuck in a bootloop pull your battery and flash weapon 3.0_r1. Let it boot and settle for a few minutes. After that if you want my mod go back to recovery and install the mod.
Did I forget to mention its smoother then buttery bacon grease biscuits on a slip n slide?!?!

If anyone is on the fence about this update...Don't be. It is great! I have been running it since last Friday and have nothing but good things to say. Everything works, only better. The interface feels smoother and faster. GPS lock is improved. Everything is just better.

I went ahead and threw on the 0.1.3 SV before I read this. Seems to be working just fine actually. Something pretty weird I noticed though, faux said that the SV should only be at 1.0ghz max and I am getting 1.4 with it. Either I missed something somewhere or it randomly decided to run faster. It's running cool, smooth, stress tested okay, good benchmarks. I will keep it until it decides to become funky. I have plenty of backups...
Anybody happen to have the stock gps.conf file that comes with this? I've already managed to jack mine all up.

I just wanted to say thanks to guys for the work on ICS on the Captivate. I'm an experienced flasher (almost addicted), and I'm impressed. Thread can be found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760
I did a few things little different because I've never quite liked the CM Rom, but that's just me. I flashed mine over Cognition 5v2, but you have to twice. Also, I had to go back and put on the uckb1 modem....and started getting 2 to 3 bars on my signal where I used to never get any, with any phone. Slapped in Contol Freak and overclocked it to 1.3 ghz, Volume Control+ for some volume, and this sucker is blazingly fast, amazingly stable, and makes the Cappy even that much more impressive.
Sad part...two days ago was showing off my Super Soldering skills I did on applying Adam's Unbrickable Mod (yes I had my phone apart with the board in my hand in the middle of Wal-Mart's parking lot) when my screen slid off the car and sadly is now cracked....and it's still amazing!

Teamhacksungs ICS build 13 is what I am using now, and it is very stable. The main advantage for myself is the increased battery life, way better stock web browser, among other things, you should give it a try. (I have been using it since way back, like build 3, lol)
They updated today to build 14 but I don't see any improvements in it that are relevant for the way I use the phone, so I am going to skip 14 and see what happens with build 15.
Hope this helps.

Flash back to stock first (I use kh3 one click with cwm) then flash teamhacksung Rom, let boot fully, flash gapps 7.1, reboot and enjoy.
You must flash back to stock gingerbread first cause u probably have voodoo enabled on ur file structure, therefore ics won't install.

Here is a link for kh3 Odin one click, with custom cwm (boogs kernel), this is what I use before flashing ics, works every time.

Glad it worked out ics is like a totally different experience.
I can't go back to gingerbread after ics, lol. I also found cm7 (181) to be very stable too .
Just be sure before flashing custom roms, its a good idea to keep that one click handy due to differences in file structures, it avoids a lot of frustration.

I'll give it a try and see how it compares to CM10. Might b a few days tho bc I just flashed the new CM10 build and it's running pretty smooth.
Does this have "Project Butter" included?

If you just Google "Project Butter", you'll find a ton of links about it. They will prob do a better job explaining than I will but I can try.
From what I understand, project butter was one of the major changes Google made from ics to jb. It is meant to make the phone quicker and more responsive by making some tweaks to GPU rendering I think and some other things. The team that released Cm10 for the infuse tried to include the code but it caused stability issues on our phone. It did make the phone seem "snappier" but it would randomly freeze so they had to remove the code.
I'm sure there is a lot better information to b found on the web.

I just tried to flash it a couple times but couldn't get past the Samsung Logo. I tried once straight from CM10 and then once after first flashing an ics rom to get blue ics recovery.
Could just b user error but I used the same method as I always do. Full wipes then install. Maybe it was a bad download. I didn't do a MD5 check.

LMFAO:silly:
Just food for thought... CM10 is still in the early development stages.. Its probably a bad idea to start "porting" other ROMs since the actual files that are MEANT for our phone are still being worked on. For project butter, it involves updating the PVR drivers. JT had ported the code over from the crespo kernel to update the PVR drivers, but something seemed to conflict with it as it had random freeze ups. The reason this hasnt been fixed yet, is it is a HUGE change.. Literally hundreds of lines of kernel codes are changed/removed/added so its not a simply thing to pinpoint. Entropy is taking a look this weekend as he found some things to be a mess.
Also, you might want to give some credit in your OP... ALOT of people including myself worked incredibly hard to bring CM10 to the infuse, so its the least you could do for using it as your base.
First off, congrats on getting the port to work, but I have to agree with pretty much everything Scott said. Unfortunately what you mention trying to accomplish is going to take more than just zipping a few files over the top of an existing ROM.
As a good rule of thumb it is always advisable to get permission from the original source if you are going to use it in your build, and from the sounds of Scott's post this hasn't happened. We all like new things and all are trying to improve or phone experience, but it is important to be respectful of the time and effort of those that have come before.
Food for thought as you continue your endeavors and best of luck to you.

ok my skyrocket is at android version 2.3.6. kernal 2.6.35.11 and baseband version 1727ucla3. my question is should i keep it like this or root it and go with custom rom. i had a infuse and was running the aeon 1..4sl rom on it and it was ok. was just curious as to what roms people like on theyre skyrocket. nothing really wrong with mine now its just plain as hell ya know. just want a rom that is stable and not glitchy as hell.
This is all personal preference my friend. Its your decision:thumbup:

I'm assuming you're running stock Gingerbread? I'm not sure how the stock AT&T ICS ROM was, but a lot of people that upgraded to the Rogers ICS ROM ran into performance issues (including myself). If you like your phone's configuration now, stick with it. If you think you're ready for something different, definitely check out some of the great ROMs around here.
For a while, I was on SkyICS. Great ROM, no issues whatsoever. I'm now running Liquid JB and, again, I haven't run into any issues with it. The devs here are awesome.
And I personally love the feeling of being free from bloatware. :good:
thank you so much ,big help man. and yes it is stock at&t . but i am gonna try and remember how to root it again. is odin still the way to root these things . i probably gonna have to read up a bit. but thx alot once again
would love a good jb rom, is it a long process coming from stock gingerbread to jellybean

I'm not an expert or anything so I'd advise you to read the sticky threads, even watch some tutorials on YouTube. Get confident before you flash. I don't flash very often so I get sweaty-palmed whenever I do.
I don't think it matters what ROM you have right now. Just install a custom recovery with ODIN and you can get flashing to whatever ROM you like in the Skyrocket development forum. Again, read and reread the thread.
Have fun!
i will man , reading now . but thx for all the input
You should incrementally step up from gb, to ics, to jb. Doesn't matter if you do stock ICS or custom, but I remember reading from someone much smarter than myself, that you had to be on ics b4 jumping on the jb bandwagon.
I must say though, if you decide to make the jump to custom, no matter what rom you choose you should have a good experience. We have some really good devs here and interest seems to really be ramping up on the skyrocket forums lately. In just the last month or so, we've had 3-4 major roms go official for skyrocket, and we have some great ports and variants of others.
If you like a stock experience with a bit of customization and good tweaks, check out embryo or sky ICS. Both are VERY solid roms. Feeling a bit adventurous but wanna stick to ics? Try out aokp milestone 6 or cm9 stable. Feeling downright ready for a crazy fun experience, try out any of the jb ROMs on here. I have probably tried them all, and they are pretty dang solid. I'm currently running slim bean and its great so far, but others have been fantastic as well. Orthus is a battery beast! I was consistently getting 17 hours with 5-6 hours of screen on time with that one. Aocp is fun and offers a ton of customization options. CM10 is a pretty safe bet as well. Hell, they are all good! Just Try them and you'll find one you like.
Happy flashing!

Have you tried stock ICS yet? If not, give it a try before you flash another rom. You just may like it.
Stock ICS on my S3
its always best to do some reading before you do some flashing and customizing yes there gonna be some " hiccups" but thats even with factory software. In my opinion root is always best because it give you the capability as the user to modifiy your phone to how you want it not how the company who sells u it wants it. and coming from GB to ICS was better then candy at the birthday party battery performance, better response was awesome and now since im on JB i even find myself out performing even some of the more recent Stock phones.
ultimately its ur decision but until you actually experience the difference we can only tell you on ours.
Roms that performed well for me:
GB=NexusMod
ICS= Embryo and SkyICS
JB= Slim Bean
go nuts
ok i rooted it today and am currently on the gb nexus mod, seems pretty cool . i have a couple of questions and i hope they are not ridulous sounding. first my 4g icon is replaced with h+. i am not in a 4g area anyway so its not really an issue unless it shouldnt have changed. the other thing is i dont know how to get to my external sd card files now. i used to access it from apps/files folder/external sd. but now i cant find that either. once again no biggie just had a apps restore on it .i can redownload the from play store but i would rather not.

Well there's cm10...
i did the ota update to ICS then I installed CWM thru Odin and then I installed a custom rom. the skyrocket is one of the easiest phones to root, upgrade roms and go back to stock if needed. i like Orthus for JB.
i was looking into the jelly bean roms and to tell you the truth they look like there is alot more to do on a install, is there any out there that dont have like 5 different things to install. i know about wiping and all that but i am afraid i would leave something out that i need if it aint included on the rom. i know it sounds stupid but is there a jb rom thats a put on root of internal sd ,wipe a couple times and install, lol

Jb roms aren't very stable. If you rely on your phone for work, alarms, and general stability I wouldn't use a jb Rom.

please look in the original development section there are probably 4-5 options there.
i believe theyre all still in beta though.
Awesome, will check it out!
Based on the threads I've been following, the 4.2 roms appear fairly stable yet people are still reporting issues related to bluetooth and mobile data.
Fair warning, flashing a 4.2 AOSP ROM carries with it a high risk for losing your number/IMEI (happened to me and took me hours to figure out how to fix). If this happens, you have to odin back to stock and reprovision the SIM card, which was a pain. Definitely sticking with TW 4.1.1 ROMs for a while. If you're looking for a 4.2.1 flavor, check out HELLSROM in the anroid development section, great ROM!

I've heard many examples of the same, it happens but I don't think it ought to detract from trying out an ASOP/CM ROM if that's what you really want. Check the Comprehensive IMEI/EFS Backup thread at:
