I just updated my infuse to gingerbread yesterday and i just wanted to know is it safe to flash jelly bean without ics??
You have to flash ICS in order to get to Jelly Bean. I think it has to do with getting the blue CWM, or a part of it.

Yup as stated above. Have to flash ICS the BOOT into it. Then go back to recovery and flash JB. Make sure you get the right gapps package also. I made the mistake of grabbing the wrong one. Had to reflash the correct one.

Even when I read that I didn't have to, I had to. I wasn't able to just flash the ICS kernel. I actually had to make sure an ICS ROM was up and running completely 3 different times before the JB upgrade took fully. JB is just a completely different animal.

Funny but the thread that was right above this when I looked is the one you should read.

you can get to jelly bean without ics from gb . do all ur wiping processes of course. then flash jellybean zip of your choice it will hang on kernel screen. pull battery then three button back to cwm it should be blue now. reflash jelly bean rom again and there ya go.

I never really got the GB to ICS to JB... I used the ICS way once, and every other time I just used mind of Mac to paranoid android and everything except for Google search works fine. I just have horrible battery life

It'll come out... eventually, there's your answer .
Eagles blood just released alpha jelly bean rom
G2x
Will it even be worth it to put JB on the G2X given the fact that we still don't have drivers for ICS?
If you can't live with how ICS runs you'll definitely regret flashing JB. Awesome work that they actually have it booted and semi functional at this stage.

Until we get necessary drivers for hardware acceleration on ICS, JB will perform just like ICS at best on this phone. I'm sure all of the devs on it are working hard to get all they can functional, props to Team EB for getting it booted, but we're lucky to have ICS hacked together for us, JB is pushing it on this phone. Just my opinion, take it how you want .

Check back in 6 months...lol
I have been using froyo since I bought the phone. I have been resistant to replacing it with a custom ROM because that always led me down a road of instability on past phones but from what I see of ICS, it looks like a very good upgrade.
That being said, the current jelly beans upgrade still has bugs (namely gps) so I was wondering if there are any previous OS replacements of gingerbread or is that are stable and fully functional?

"gingerbread or ICS"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Most stable and completely functional would be GB roms like Emancipation or Aeon.
ICS is also quite stable and functional, except for the 720 video recording being choppy, but if it is something you don't use then this could be the one for you. I would recommend cm9, uniyumaporn or remICS-ux
Sent from my sweet and buttery Infuse
most stable and smooth would be stock samsung gingerbread. but cm9 is also a very good choice(smoother than stock actually but no mhl). and gapps in ics are much improved. voice search in particular is way more usable.
I would suggest Aeon for stability.
There are still a handful of bugs on CM9 and CM10. Nothing that stops us early adopters...
if GPS were fixed JB
For stability I loved Emann. Then switched to uniporn until cm10 got GPS up and running. From my experience, as of now Scotts cm10 8/8 build with 7/26 gapps is running perfect for me. I haven't moved to the 8/10 build yet because I don't have use for the mtd partitioning as of yet. I've always had the mind set of don't change a running system. If new features come out in a later build I will definitely update to it. But right now my phone is running super smooth. With working GPS
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Don't go JB for at least a couple months. The builds are unstable and they come frequently.
I would go for Entropy CM9 as even if a new build is released you can just flash it on top with no wipe (keep your apps/settings)

Stock LB3. I use it for stability.

I made the switch to Paranoid Android 4.0.4 ICS a month ago...
Best move I've EVER made.
In my opinion, it works far smoother than stock ever did for my phone. =D
...about to try the Jellybean update... I can't wait!

upgrade from Froyo
Hello All,
I have been using my Froyo Inuse for a long time now, and it is now showing it's age, with more aps not working anymore as they get new versions. Can someone lead me to some instructions about how to go about upgrading from 2.2 Froyo?
Thanks

Go to the development threads and seek your stable rom, stability is up to what you do with your device.
As these threads are way too similar to "best" rom threads, and they always become arguments over what rom is best/stable - This thread is closed.
I saw it was updated today for JB or JB roms.
Anyone pull it so guys on ICS based Rom can get some love?
I'm with ya. Running Google now on stock ics Rom and would love to check out this update. I'm sure we will be flashing the latest update through cwm any second now.

Do they have Google Now that runs on a stock TW Rom, rooted? Google Now will be the one thing I will miss from my GNEX JB Rom.

Like how you can finally add your teams manually also
Google Now error [CM10 on SGS3/Verizon]
On my Samsung Galaxy S III on Verizon, with CM10 nightly, Google Now keeps telling me that I need to turn on Google's location service. But it is on. This notification keeps coming back and I can't get any further with Google Now.
Known issue? Am I missing something??
I went from stock rooted to cm10 and now Beans build 9.. Which is the best right now imo
I'm sure this could be installed as an apk, not flashed correct?
Google now has to be hacked to work on ics. Which is why there are a few bugs currently compared to jb roms. Will probably take a few days for this update to work its way through the team that is porting it over.
Sent from a strange blue box hurtling through time and space.
I am running CM10 because I wanted a taste of jelly bean, but now that jb is being rolled out for the Nexus s 4g I am wondering if it will still do the automatic update from sprint? I would rather use Sprints version of jb for the nexus s 4g. Will the OTA update still be sent to my phone if it is not running the stock rom?
No.

you can use the 7.2 one click tool to return to stock, but make sure to back up all of your aps and data first

Where can I find this, though? I didn't make a copy of it when I started flashing new roms.
Rookie mistake.

But isn't it possible that Sprint made a better running ROM for this phone that CM did? Can I expect the CM Jelly Bean ROMs to get better for the Nexus S 4g because Sprint released their version?
I know my noobness is showing but seriously I am trying

Your choice: stock rom (sprint ota) vs custom rom (cm10). Custom rom gives you more tweaks, enhancements, better battery life, etc...
A little bit of googling for sprint nexus s 4g ics factory images will take you right to the google page with the factory images. After flashing the 4.0.4 image, the jb ota should arrive. Of course read all instructions before flashing, and you will lose all apps/data

I am having to ordin with pit, to unbrick my infuse again. I'll be starting from stock GB rooted with gingerbread boot loader. What ICS Rom do I need to flash to keep my imei and provide a stable stepping stone to flash slim bean 2.6, or 2.7 so I won't lose my imei and have to go backwards again?
Thanks mike

You should be able to use any of the ICS ROMs. Use CM9, then follow the OP instructions for Slim Bean.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874000
Instructions at Slim Bean state:
Upgrading Slim Bean
Just wipe cache/dalvik cache and flash files in order (Device file first, then Slim Gapps) unless I specify in the changelog
From Froyo/GB Rom to SlimBean
Get yourself booted with cm9 or cm10. then follow the steps "From another JB or ICS ROM"
I remember mg saying that a small % of people lost imei regardless of following instructions exactly or not. Also someone said somewhere that flashing cm10 restored there imei.
of course I've also been jacked up on pain medication this week so I could be wrong. But I'm 95% sure I didn't hallucinate those statements.
