Desire HD ROMs

I've found that you can flash some Desire HD ROMs to the inspire if you flash a compatible kernel over top of it.
I'm currently running Android Revolution HD on my Inspire (so far the only one I've tried, I haven't had any issues yet).
Here are the steps I used to do this:
- Copy ROM and Kernel to SDCard
- reboot into recovery
- Make a nandroid backup from Clockwork Recovery (I always make a backup just in case I need to go back)
- wipe data/cache in Clockwork
- flash ROM from Clockwork
- flash kernel from Clockwork
I used a Telus Desire HD kernel I found on the forums (same as Inspire) Sound and everything works.
I'll also attach the kernel I used for everyone to try it out.
Please report and other ROMs you have success or failure with so everyone can know what works.
EDIT: This isn't really needed anymore since the new source and kernels coming out support the Inspire. Just find a ROM that has the 1.72 kernel source and flash it, it should work as is.
I'm using Revolution HD that mike1986. posted in this this forum with no issues.

does CM7 work? I am scared to mess until I get an easy way to revert to stock like odin back to stock on the captivate. If someone knows an easy fail safe measure like the download mode on the captivate I would love to know then i will try anything!

I love you <3 lmao

CM7?
........

I just flashed CM7 and the telus kernel, I got stuck on HTC white screen..hmm!!

Tony710 - genius move, buddy. I have had my goldcard ready, but have been waiting for this ROM to become available ( heard this is so much faster and more power efficient than stock).
Needless to say, i'll be rooting and flashing this tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Not cyanogen. Goto HTC Desire HD Development forum, and grab the Android Revolution ROM.

Flashed leedroid v.2 with the telus rom and it works just fine. kinda wish i had the leedroid rom because it had a %20 vol increase. but i now have a 1.22ghz OC!!!!! Can anyone make a increased volume kernel. i've noticed that ours is blocked to 73% of the maxium

HTC Inspire...check
ROOT...check
CWM...check
Flashing custom rom on a phone released 3 days ago...Priceless!!!

[Q] How to install Cyanogenmod7 on inspire 4g

sorry if there is an exact thread just like this, imagine there is but i wasnt able to find it. i just got my inspire today im familiar with android phones but i know the phone just came out so im wondering if someone can walk me through this, from what i understand ill need to root, flash the cyanogen7 rom then flash a kernel that will allow me to have sound. i was wondering which kernel i would need and what is the easiest root method currently available. thanks for the help guys!!
edit: there is no modified version of this with a different kernel that will allow us to flash the inspire kernel and make sound work??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917271

There is not a CM7 for the Inspire yet. I can't wait until there is tho, I'm not a fan of Sense... but making due for right now.

i thought you could install any desire hd rom, there is a cyanogen7 rom for the hd right here. and just flash a kernel over it to get the audio working. or am i wrong?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917271

cyanogenmod has its own kernel that's made specifically for AOSP. A normal sense kernel will definitely not work for it. It is cool though, I flashed it for a few minutes and it's wayyyy quick with the 1.51ghz kernel they have on there, too bad we don't have source to get sound yet

Yeah just played around with it. Superfast. Love all the gingerbread stuff too. Tried fladhing those kernels the phone wont boot

bump, i see people posting modified versions of cm7 for dhd do they have different kernels that would allow the sound to work on our inspires?

Yes, yes they do.

Check out the android development section. There is a working kernel for sound on CM7 and I'm using it right now.

CM7 Nightly for the Inspire 4g

This is a thread for CM7 for the Inspire.
If you are not currently using CM7 do a nandroid of your current setup in case you do not like it.
Installation:
If this isn't an upgrade from cm7 than you must wipe data/cache first
Go here to get the nightly build.
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=ace
Gapps (Google Apps Package)
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
Changelog
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=ace
Also make sure you wipe data/cache before installing this rom if coming from any other ROM but a previous CM7 nightly build.
Thanks goes to everyone who has been working on getting cm7 working right on the Inspire

Just to verify, it works for me too. Nightly 8 and the audio fix.

Will we have to reflash this everytime we install a new nightly?

Are you guys running the Kernel that comes with the CM7 Nightly Ace Build - I flashed a Kernel that was supposed to fix CM7 for using with the Inspire without really trying to see if it would work without the fix?
I'll try the GPS / Audio fix ...

what kernal & radio are you all using? stock?

im so torn between cm7 and 2.3 or sense, what do you guys reccomend?

So what's the diference between this and the one in the dhd section and on clockwork?

I'm using the kernel that was packaged with CM7 build 8. Stock radio too.

id10terrordfw, did you just flash the nightly over the stock rom? sorry about all the noob questions but there are soo many roms, kernals and radio floating around, i just want to make sure whats the best combination for this awesome phone...thanks in advanced...

Wait...I thought we needed an Inspire kernel such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965208 .
So your saying you are running an Inspire on CM7 #8 stock kernel? All you did was flash that and then did not flash a kernel over it?
Also, are you still using the stock radio from the Hackerize kit?
Reason I ask is that I flashed hrkfdn's kernel over CM7 #7 with stock radio from Hackerize and I cannot get HSUPA.
If I flash CM7 #8 and do not flash a kernel, will I get the stock kernel? Thanks.

Now you no longer need to flash a separate kernel. Our kernel needs were recently merged after the source release and are natively supported now. You *will* need to flash this soundgps patch over each nightly for the time being as this has not been merged and may not since it messes with files the other dhd devices are dependant on.
HTC Inspire Clockwork Recovery * CM7(kang) * Eng S-Off

Is there a recommended radio for this Rom?

Stock radio per the hack kit. So long as you followed the instructions in the hack kit you already have it.

Yes, and since the sound fix isn't kernel related all you have to do is flash the audio fix turbonium posted. Overclocking is built into the stock kernel.

Just rooted to Leedroid... phone call sound quality is bad

If I make a phone call or receive one, the quality is very poor, stock was amazing. Is there a fix for this? What about gingerbread... is it better?
Sorry, btw it's leedroid 3.0.3
I'm trying to google the hell out of this solution but to no avail. if anyone has a clue or know's, could you please help me out. thanks

Isn't Leedroid ROM a gingerbread ROM?

Remember I'm a newbie, but its leedroid.

I understand, but you asked if gingerbread is better.
There are many versions of gingerbread and one of them is leedroid ROM.
Try a different ROM that has GB in the title of the thread in the DEVs section.

If not flash the ruu for stock that gives u stock sense and 2.2.1 yet rooted. So you can flash another rom at anytime

Flash This
Should Fix this issue

Keep the audio fix on your SD Card. I've been using the same CM7 desire to inspire audio fix for all the euro DHD ROMs and haven't had any issues, all great results actually. currently running TB Fusion 0.4 with LeeDroid kernel 3.0.4 no issues.
Best of luck, cheers!

Sound not working

When I am on stock froyo, the sound works fine, I can listen and watch youtube videos, play audio. But when I flashed Desire HD rom I won't get any sound. I even flashed the audio fix but still doesn't work. I am trying to Flash MIUI from Symoc's. Anything I need to take care off? I was earlier having inspire 4g 6 months ago but I came back to Inspire after playing with LG THrill. Anything I am missing. I used the ACEHD kit to root and simlock..
Anything else I am missing. If I go back to stock the sound works fine.

First, wrong forum..mods please move this to the Q&A forum.
secondly, why are you flashing a Desire HD rom on the Inspire, just use the Inspire MIUI rom. I usd MIUI way back when I first rooted and had no issues with the sound. Not sure if the Desire HD rom has anything to do with it but best bet would be to start with the MIUI rom for the Inspire and see where that takes you.

Well MIUI lumps the DHD and Inspire together, as do many folks. If you found an Inspire-specific download page, please let us know. There is also InspireMod to make a couple adjustments from DHD ROMs for the Inspire.

With the latest MIUI ROMs, you will need to flash an alternate kernel to be to repair the sound issue. Most people have found luck with LordModUE 8.1 or Tiamat kernels. I suggest you hang out in the MIUI.us forums and the live chat for help with MIUI. Hope it helps!

Some do, some don't. I know since the Tinny audio and stuff, the push has been to include Inspire branding scripts for most of the ROMs now that are available for both the Inpsire/DHD which consequently automatically fix certain issues that arise from Desire based ROMs being flashed onto the Inspire. AOSP ROMs seem to have to a need for Inspire branding, lucky for me I use Absolution which recognized my phone as an Inspire and no need for any kind of inspire branding or audio fixes. With that being said, I guess this would have been better served by a MIUI guru if asked in the MIUI Q&A, hope the OP gets it figured out!

Yeah, I'd love to see the branding and audio fixes pushed out with with the new releases, as there were no issues in the past. For now, the best luck I had was with Tiamat kernel 1.1.5 (audio fix) and InspireMod 0.5 (Inspire branding). In Miui.us's dhd/inspire forum, there is now a great sticky with instructions for the proper process. ^_^
