You don't have to port it. All you have to do is add your SR's rotation fix to the ROM.

No port is needed. You simply flash: Rom-->Gapps--->Skyrocket kernel. Never used a t989 ROM myself, but that is what I read for install. You may encounter status 7 error flash aborted in recovery when trying to install. If this occurs then the script in the Rom package that checks your devices signature needs to be updated / removed. It recognizes that your device isn't a t989 and aborts the flash as a precaution as you are normally supposed to only flash ROMs for your specific device.
Edit1: Flash T-Mobile radio.

"no infuse option"? Where are you looking for? Are you using ROM Manager?
Because officially rom manager does not support the Infuse...
There is a thread in the dev section on how to install cwm.... You need to flash the I9000 version, but you must modify recovery first. Or you could just flash the community kernel with voodoo and cwm.

You might want to post in the forum for your phone. Right now, the SGS4G doesn't support any JB ROMs.
Is this your Nexus ROM?
Yeah it is

It keeps saying error in e sdcard/whatever ROM.zip status 0 installation aborted
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
If you're trying to install that ROM from a Nexus on an SGS4G, you're unlikely to succeed in anything but soft-bricking your phone.
If you're trying to install on a Nexus, you'll find more people with a Nexus in the Nexus forums.
I have nexus s 4g is this not the forum for it?

This is the "Samsung Galaxy S 4G" section of XDA -- for a phone primarily distributed by T-Mobile. I believe you want the Nexus forums where you found that ROM.

[MOD] H To 4G Icon (All Roms)

I found this in another forum and thought I would share it with you guys. I can confirm that this works on our device. I am running F4K.
This mod is a flashable zip which was created by biohazrd51 and I. It changes the 'H' icon in the status bar to the '4G' one. See below for all devices.
Also, you will lose this mod every time you update the rom. I will take no responsibility if you magically transform your phone into a new device.
That said, all you need to do is:
1. Download the attached update-signed.zip to the root of your sd card.
2. Reboot into recovery, and make a nandroid backup, incase anything goes wrong. (It shouldn't)
3. Then, select install from sd card, and click on the update-signed.zip.
4. Reboot and enjoy.
Any questions,feel free to ask.
*Edit* blk_jack has put together a flashable zip that'll modify the H icon to 4G on any ROM (hdpi only). This should also work in JB, though we haven't tested it. This doesn't actually replace the SystemUI.apk, it just replaces the icons inside it and re-zip/zipaligns it.
Download and flash through recovery:

Where is this update.signed file you speak of? The link in the OP says nothing like that when downloaded or added to sd card. D/l'ed it anyways and it kinda fk'd my phone. Went into TWRP and installed it. Fixed permissions and wiped cache/dalvik. Now I have no dropdown menu that the SGS4G normally has and none of my themes are working. Just a generic black background throughout. I don't think this works on our device. JS. I'll nandroid back and retry it. BTW, I'm running Ravers OMFGCM9 with a padded KJ6 modem with hefe's kernel.
I have had that happen once not sure what rom I was on I just did fresh install to fix it.

[MOD][UNIVERSAL][1/22/13] H to 4G or LTE icons - Updated!!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
For the people saying it doesn't work... were you possibly using the LB6 modem that doesn't actually display H? If so... your phone probably needs to display H for the H to be replaced with 4G or LTE. It wouldn't be the mod failing to work... but the modem passing incorrect information to the status bar-display.
Kj6 modem,reverted back to RemICS, until slim gets wf hotspot fixed,will test update then.

Are you using CWM or ROM Manager? If the answer is CWM, did you use ROM Manager or NVflash?
Also, have you tried a different ROM, or just the same one?

Basically what the first reply was, but wanted to add in so you know,
If you used ROM Manager to do basically anything, you need to NVFlash CWM and than always use CWM to flash anything. ROM Manager does whats called a fake flash of CWM.
And than yes, which ROM(s)?

well i tried flashing stock and it works but when i rebooted after the LG boot Screen the screen is all black and the backlight just keeps flashing on and off... any suggestions?
Search the G2x development forum for Batch Cleanup Tool. Run that, then flash a stock ROM. Boot that ROM once, then try a custom ROM.

I downloaded the cleanup batch and ran it.... proceeded to install the stock ROM and still stuck on a black screen with the backlight flashing on and off. I think I've tried everything to fix it and nothing works....

Which stock ROM are you installing? Have you tried downloading it again, to make sure it's not a bad download?
Also which CWM are you using? if you're using touch, rev ert back to an older version

[Q] can't flash T-Mobile ROM.

So I read in the one of the Development threads that you can flash a T-Mobile rom on the skyrocket. But each time I do I get a status 7 error. Tried from the Internal SD and External SD. Could someone help?

Only flash a rom for the sr. You're asking for a brick flashing anything that is not for the sr.

Normally I would be right along with you on this, but it is different when it comes to the T-Mobile gs2 T989 Hercules. We are able to flash ROMs for that device. I haven't personally done it, but from what I read you flash : ROM--->Gapps if need be---> Skyrocket kernel. The status 7 error I believe is the updator script recognizing that you are flashing a ROM designed for the gs2 Hercules on a different device. This is a safeguard in an attempt to try and prevent bricks. You will have to edit the updator script I believe
Edit: flash T-Mobile radio as well
