I am bit confused. Is there any way I can install Honeycomb on my newly bought Infuse 4g? I am not really versed on these technical jargon.
Thanks

Honeycomb is only for tablets. Preventing people from shoehorning it into phones is one of the specific reasons Google has withheld the HC source code until Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is released.

Maybe you are looking for gingerbread? It is available currently via Infused v2, assuming you aren't using a Roger's infuse that comes with it initially.

Yes, I think I meant gingerbread. How do I install it?

Follow the instructions in the Infused v2 thread
so does that mean factory installed is infuse v1?

No that's AT&T Stock. Infused v1.x was a "cooked" ROM based on AT&T stock firmware with bloat removed and some custom tweaked.
Similarly, Infused v2 is based on Rogers stock but has customizations
Factory installed was Froyo 2.2.1. Gingerbread is 2.3.3(presently).
As Entropy stated, Infused is an aftermarket ROM that was built from the gingerbread source that he got from the Roger's Infuse. There has not been an official release for the AT&T Infuse in regards to gingerbread. Infused v1 is Froyo. Infused v2 is Gingerbread. None of it will be stock or "factory" though. It's all been tweaked and modified to run much more efficiently than the stock software.
can any of you be kind enough to direct me to the link where I can download and go step by step how to install it? I am bit getting confused with what Roger is is and what ROM is and etc...
and there are a lot of v2 thread

I just want to thank everyone who replied in this thread for answering this guys question and explaining it to him. Nothing miffs me more than these threads where someone immediately tears into a newbie telling them to use the search feature. Granted that should be tried first, but sometimes people are here because they are trying to learn something technical (without a technical background) and don't know how to effctively use the search feature. I've been in the field over 15 years and sometimes get irate with search tools not doing what I want. Anyway...I just wanted to say kudos to everyone for showing some respect (and manners).

Roger is Canadian operator just as AT&T is USA operator.
ROM is kind of operating system as for your PC.
For those who have AT&T Samsung infuse 4g they have stock rom as FROYO and so far ATT has not released Gingerbread for it whereas Canadian Infuse comes with Gengerbread.
So, GTG has made a custom rom based on Roger's gingerbread for ATT Infuse users(may be Canadians also using this rom).
If you do not know what rom is then i assume you do not know how to install it.
I suggest use your phone as it is and wait till ATT updates your phone to Gingerbread(when? i do not know)
And meanwhile read and learn about this stuff before actuall installing it.
Else you may mess up your phone.

People are usually more receptive to questions like this in Q&A, and he did properly post in Q&A.
Cluttering a development thread is what gets you torn apart.
Thank you all very much all being really helpful and kind. I was bit hesitant to post since you guys all seem really knowledgeable about all this stuff. Very glad that I found this site.
I have installed gingerbread to my tablet computer before and I am assuming that the process is not too different. It felt pretty easy. Tablet computer and smartphone is all very new to me. It is my first smart phone and very excited to play around with it.
Anways, just wanted to thank you all for the valuable information you guys post in here.
In many cases it's a matter of availability. If Gingerbread is not available anywhere for a device, it can be a MAJOR undertaking to get it working on that device.
That's why we didn't have any reliable Gingerbread releases until after Rogers released the Infuse with Gingerbread in Canada - prior to that there was no firmware to base things off of, and in the case of Cyanogenmod 7, no place to pull the vendor-proprietary components from.
However, until AT&T releases Gingerbread, any Gingerbread release you find will have some degree of "Canadian" flavor - no HDMI (Canadians didn't get it as a feature), somewhat limited data speeds in some areas, and in the case of Infused v2, apparently some apps actually treat English (USA) and English (Canada) differently enough to say "go away". (Mainly Amazon MP3 at this point.)
hey guys, i just got myself a nexus s (switched from a captivate, to galaxy s 2, then to nexus s) and was looking into flashing the ICS port. I had done some reading about locked and unlocked bootloaders, so i wanted to know does it matter whether the bootloader is locked or unlocked if i were to flash the ICS port? i ask because i know there are specific roms for each bootloader in the android development.
also another question, if anyone here could give me some feedback on the daily use of the ICS port, whether they are happy with it. i've watched a couple youtube videos of the recent port and it seems to work quite well, but i wouldn't mind some feedback on it first. lately ive been running MIUI, so im content just using that if the ICS port isn't at that stage yet.
thanks for any input
You didn't do much reading if you don't know the bootloader needs to be unlocked to flash a custom recovery which in turn lets you flash custom roms.

i guess i may be wrong, but i had read this thread and figured it wasnt necessary
[GUIDE] Root & recovery WITHOUT oem unlock & wipe (2.3.2 & older, plus now 2.3) --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931865
i realize that its for the lower versions of 2.3 but thats what it's running right now. whoever owned it before hadn't updated it. but either way that answers my question, so ill unlock it
in terms of the usability of the ics ports. I've been using Drew Garen's ports for about two weeks now. Extremely usable and stable. Its almost impossible to tell its an sdk port. His current beta 10 has everything working except for bluetooth and a slightly inaccurate gps. He said that he got a true ics rom working using the galaxy nexus dump so that should be released soonish.
Very good port indeed. However, Im having trouble to make whatsapp work properly. Contacts never shown in the app.... anyone know how to solve this?
thanks for your input guys. i did go through and read quite a bit of pages through the rom thread (worked my way from the back forward), and it seemed like it should be good enough for me. i don't really ever use bluetooth, and gps occasionally, so i should be able to manage with it. and i do use whatsapp, so ill install it tomorrow and see if i figure any solution out to your problem jpvalenz
I will do my best to keep this short and also hope it hasn't already been answered for the sanity of the fantastic developers on this site. I know you guys hate repetition.
I've recently gone through a breakup with my now-ex, and we are not on speaking terms because of his inability to maintain sanity in some situations. My problem here is that he enjoyed continuously staying updated with the most recent updates and mods for my Charge. I have no clue how to do any of this modding, and since we are not on speaking terms, I don't know what to do about my laggy, hasn't-been-modded-in-months phone.
Before I ended communication, he spoke of a possible ICS update for my Charge. He told me it was solely open-ended developer stuff, no official update or anything, but that it was surprisingly stable. Even with him not in contact with me at this time, I would still like to see if I could do this 'update' myself. Is it possible for a complete noob like myself to do it? Or should I just leave it alone and find someone entirely more experienced to help me through it? If it's going to brick my phone with the slightest mistake, I'd rather not even try. But, like I said, you guys are the experts.
I would enjoy any kind of assistance, if possible, to install this pseudo-ICS; unless I can wait another however long the official update is for Verizon, un-root back to stock, and have the official ICS.
I guess my basic questions are:
When will the official ICS become available for my Charge through Verizon? I know it's available stock with the Galaxy Nexus (which I want quite badly) already.
Could a complete noob like myself do this with the help of you guys giving me links and step-by-step instructions (if you would be so kind)?
How easy is it to mess up without clear instructions?
I really appreciate any kind of input. MANY thanks for reading!

No ics. No word on official update for ics. If I were you I would go back completely stock. Links are in dev section

Girls?! On the internet?!
If you're not comfortable with any of this stuff then just go back to stock. There isn't any ICS, and there probably won't be, at least for a long time. best you can do is flash a theme or something.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
My vote? Just learn how to mod the phone! It's really not that hard. Here's a post to get you familiar: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4847-guide-new-users-guide-everything-how-to-root-rom-kernels-radios-cwm/
Don't flash the Froyo or Gingerbread links at the bottom tho, they'd a bit dated. Just check that post out to get familiar with the terms and process. While you're there, download and install ODIN (there's a link in that post).
***Before we move on...do you have Titanium Backup in your app drawer? If not, spend the $7. It's so worth it because you can save the vast majority of your data. It's worth the $7 (you may have it already because the exbf may have bought it/installed it). Get it and Google how to use it--make a full backup of system apps, users apps, and data before doing anything else.**
So, once you've read that post on RootzWiki, have downloaded ODIN, and made a backup with Titanium Backup, come back here and flash THIS file (follow the link in the 2nd paragraph for detailed instructions): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380430
OK. At this point you will be unrooted and have the latest Verizon updates on your phone. You can... choose to quit... or choose to mod more. Keep in mind, if you've figured out how to flash to stock, you know how to flash mods and can continue to mod.
If I were you, I'd check out TweakStock at this point. Flash the version WITHOUT the customized kernel. Probably your best bet. Themes should be coming out for TweakStock soon, so maybe you'll find something you like.
And yeah, regarding Ice Cream Sandwich... Not happening, at least for awhile. Don't worry about it--only the Galaxy Nexus has it right now anyway.
Thank you! This was very helpful. I'm glad you pointed it out; yes, I do have Titanium. He had the paid version, signed in my phone with his Google account, and DL'd it onto my apps.
But here is another problem I have thought of-- I don't know what kind of ROM or Kernal I have...at all. No clue. Like I said, he was the expert. He always tried to show me how to do stuff, but it always went in one ear and out the other. I'm a girl who needs to be shown something from the beginning, by trial and error, and he would simply show me something 'cool' if he came across it and show me how to install it. Haha. Not saying that was ever a bad thing, I'm extremely interested in learning, but we never really had the time, and I don't want to be alone if I screw up.
go to settings> about phone and look at your firmware version. If it's 2.3.x you're on gingerbread. (you should be, if not your bf was a noob)
If you go to Settings and you see TSM Parts you're on Infinity.
If you see poop brown as a main color theme you're stock rooted.
If you go to your lock screen and it says TweakStock in the upper right hand corner you're on TweakStock.
GummyCharged and Humble are hard to distinguish. But chances are if you're not on any of the above, you're running Humble.
For kernel: if you run a program called Voodoo Control and it says status: ext4 active near the bottom, you're running imoseyon's repacked kernel. Anything else, you're either on stock or imnuts' repack.

I agree, that made me LOL as well as the 'poop brown' color reference for stock root.
Well, I took a look and it turns out I have 2.3.4. Model number is GummyCharged GBE 2.0. Of course, I have no idea what this means at all. I'm just letting you guys be in the know in case you still feel like helping me. Haha.

Well, the name of the ROM you're running is GummyCharged GBE (Gingerbread Edition) 2.0. It's very outdated now. Have you ran the batch backup for everything in Titanium yet?

Megan... I love you...and I am sorry... I'm not sure if you were hoping i'd find your thread.
But heres the info needed incase.
It's the most recent rootzwiki gummycharged, it's outdated, but it's at least bloatfree. Stock leaked kernel from way back, but it was for sure 2.3. I don't play with ancient software.
When I said upadte, Verizon had finally gotten an Official 2.3, over the leaked, which I urged you to update to for stability, even with bloat, since most roms will now be based off the OTA. When I spoke of ICS, I meant on my phone, and I guess it's hard to exactly explain what open source is, roms, and ota's. But given a Dev and the right sources from Sammy and Google, it can run it. This phone just seems to lack the strong community it did with imnuts, like the fascinate.
Enjoy Inifinty. I'll be a better person someday in the long run, but right now, i've got a lot more to work on with myself rather than phones (which is why my ICS is kinda not a big deal to me as).
GL.

When there is plenty of room on the sd card, and internal. Can someone please help me, I've tried a reset, and clearing the cache, and download history in the market. Any help someone could offer would be much appreciated.
I 'm looking for Jelly Bean for my HTC Thunderbolt. I want it so I can download and use "Google Now," which requires JB. I've done quite a bit of Googling for it, without any luck. i've also searched through here somewhat thoroughly. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can get this? I'm not a developer, just a power user.
Please help. I will mail you cookies. Whatever flavor you like.

Although google now is officially supported on jb, it can be run on ics. And from a quick look at the thunderbolt developer section it looks like theres quite a few ics roms.
Try flashing one of them, then check out this thread to see how to get google now working on ics.
Also no need for cookies...just press thanks
Thanks for the reply! Yeah.... a short while after leaving my post here, it dawned on me.... "why focus on getting JB for my thunderbolt?? Instead, focus on whether or not I can get Google Now on my ICS!!"
I followed some instructions about deoxed-ing, my Thunderbolt, but would get a ton of errors when going through the actual conversion. I think it's because the latest version of the tool I was using just doesn't jive with my Thunderbolt. I had to give up last night so I could get back to my family. I'll be trying it again soon, or exploring some other tools/options to get this done.
Just a thought... I don't really care about Google Now looking pretty on my phone, so do I really *need* to deoxed my Thunderbolt? If I understand it correctly (*remember that I'm just a power user, but definitely a "noob" when it comes to hacking and dev stuff*), the deoxed-ing process just allows for changes to the themes or visual aspects of android. Correct? So *in theory* I could just install a ICS Google Now mod/hack/whatever without the deoxed process?
Thanks again! (and BTW: I did press the "thanks" button as well.)
