So I flashed a few of the DHD based ROMs that are floating around for our Inspire, but noticed at least one dealbreaker immediately. It appears that the screens are not the same configuration between the two, as the DHD ROMs have horrible screen color on our devices. It's like someone took the "tint" and "color" knobs on the screen and just turned them all the way down.
So I was wondering... why aren't all of our chefs actually using the INSPIRE ROM as a base? We do have the extracted rom.zip file and I believe we have the source code... Is there another reason?
And do any of you know of any other big things that just don't work with the DHD ROMs?

It was more or less supposed to be a prod to the ROM chefs to start using the actual Inspire ROM to do their cooking. I considered that development, so I placed it in the dev area. I don't think most ROM chefs check the "general" area...
I have used attn1s aria and now inspire dhd roms and have had zero problems.

I'm using CM7 right now and have no problems
Maybe it's my phone?
After flashing the downgraded Desire HD rom in the rooting process, I noticed a SUBSTANTIAL color difference. Same with the Revolution HD ROM. Maybe my eyes are just trained too well or something?
The colors just looked dull and lifeless. But why aren't our ROM chefs using the factory-shipped Inspire ROM to create theirs?
I've used the Revolution HD ROM and CM7 ROM. Phone looks exactly the same as stock color wise.

I asked a question leading to this same question myself earlier, and mine got moved to "general" by the mod.
The stock Inspire ROM and the stock DHD ROM are similar, but not the same. I've noticed substantial discoloration going from an Inspire based rom to a Desire HD based rom. If at all possible, it is my mission to get some real chefs over here to make some REAL Inspire based roms.
The issues that exist are minimal, but just enough that someone like me will notice lol.

I agree with you. There are differences in the roms. We've got real devs over here too. I am grateful what we have though. More is coming soon enough.

I don't disagree with asking the question, but this forum is definitely crowded with a lot of non-development related questions. All of this stuff should be moved to General. Your questions will be answered there too.

Absolutely I just want Inspire-based roms, since we have the rom.zip and the ability to make them. It just makes me sad that all of our roms are for the desire HD and they aren't the same...
So when the Inspire 4G first came out, I joined from the dark side (iPhone)... and rooted for the first time. I tried InspiredHD and Android Revolution, but this was back when they both had the tinny audio, so I ended up going back to the ATT Stock Rooted ROM because I wanted my audio back.
Now several weeks later I see a bunch of ROMs available, several of which are Android Gingerbread ROMs. Which are the best? Is there a guide that compares their features that are updates on the daily basis that seems to be how often they're updated?
What do you recommend? I'd like one which is Gingerbread and still keeps the HTC sense, I do like my sense. I'd also like one that had the original audio quality, not the tinny audio that came with the preliminary ROMs.
Any advice\opinions would be appreciated.
For future reference please post questions like this in the general disscussion thread.
As far as what Rom is best. That is a hard question what's best for one person might not be for the next. My advice would be just to give them all a shot, and see which one is best for you or which one suits you best.
Edit: you can see what has been changed or the differences from the change log. Currently all the roms are being updated frequently as well as one on one support with the beta team and/or developers.
Hope this helps.

mudknot2005 is right, try them.
On that note, thread closed
I ended up with a 4g slide as a replacement for a lg g2x that I kept having to return due to various issues with rebooting, screen bleed etc. I like the phone, but cant stand sense, and Im new to the whole rooting/flashing process. Is there anyway to erase sense and have just stock Gingerbread on this phone, while retaining the camera capabilities? I know usually there are posts already dealing with these issues, however Im not able to find much for this particular model phone. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

True stock Gingerbread has not yet been ported, since HTC has not released the kernel source yet. But there are a couple of de-Sensed stock ROMs in the dev. section, one by undeadk9 and one by computerkid123. Those are basically the Sense ROM that came with the phone, but with as much of the Sense removed as they possibly could, lol.
Thank you Yogi2010....
My senseless has the look and feel of aosp but still keeping the best sense aspects like the awesome camera.

Yes, yes I know the benefits of ROM's but man there are really getting on my tits.
I am fed up of things not working, the 'phone locking up, for what some battery and performance improvements that I don't even notice in day to day use.
My DHD admittedly ran better with Lee's and Mikes ROM's, my Sensation ran better in stock and every ROM I have tried have so many issues it's unreal.
If u dnt like the roms, don't use it!!! Haha

I've had no serious issues using custom roms on my sensation. Definitely happy I upgraded from the desire hd.

It may take a little patience, but it is definitely worth it on some of the ROMs. I have been sticking with Mike's ROMs and couldn't be happier. His latest 3.6.1 has been running flawless for me and many others. I guess you just have to find one you enjoy and keep looking back until it is completely daily stable.
Ops post is quite painful to read an I'm not even a dev, but I guess I understand where he is coming from. But op what you don't realize is that people who post roms go through a ton of work to get to where they are. Believe it or not but I'd go as far as to say that the devs for my phone (motorola milestone v1) know more about the phone than the group of developers from motorola.
Op, I'll dumb it down a little for you, if you need a stable phone stick with what it was when you pulled it out of the box. But if you wish to go a on an epic journey filled with ups and downs of situations where you'll sit there with a huge smile across your face, stick around, thank the devs for the gift they have given you, and if at all possible learn a thing or two while you enjoy your stay.

The only thing keeping me away from Custom ROMS is the poor audio quality when video recording...

There are a number of ROMs that are plenty stable. You just have to find the right ones. I'm on CoreDroid 2.4 which has proven to be as stable as stock for me. Don't be surprised if a ROM you run that isn't on stock kernel and runs hacked Sense 3.5 isn't stable.

Don't get me wrong I appreciate all the work the dev's put in, I have only used Virtuous, Leedroid and Android HD but I have never had an install without some issue. Then the next version comes out and you have a different set of issues it's just so frustrating.
Witj bulletproof 1.4 (not the 3.5 version) i've had literally no issues.

Oh because I make a thread bemoaning the woes of using custom ROM's I must be an imbecile and all ROM's get released with no bugs and other issues?
Using mikes 3.6.1... Its rock stable and fast for me

No such thing as a bug free ROM, not even stock
OP, try insert coin, a 2.3.4 version (latest is 2.5.5 ver2 w/ bricked kernel) its the best ive used to date, with frequent use, i get 1 day battery life, and with average-minimal use, i get 2 days battery life. no crashes, reboots or sense reloads, 200mb free ram (unless you use a custom theme).
while i would have agreed with the op when dev first started, this is no longer the case anymore. the devs have learned A LOT about this phone, and its builds and have only gotten so much better with time.
the main reason ppl come to XDA is so they CAN flash many, many roms to see what suits them. when i had my HD2 i was a certified flashaholic, new rom every 3 days to a week
with this fone ive settled down quite a bit, but when i new rom/dev comes along, i nand backup, flash the new rom, let it settle and then try it out for a few days and actually give it a chance.
Custom ROMs are fun because there are so many out there, and you can spend time with each one to determine which one fits your needs. If you're looking for a phone that is stable, just use the one that's been working the best for you and improvise, fixing what needs to be fixed so that your phone can do what you require of it.
Using Android Revolution HD 3.6.2 and its stable for me, had more issues with stock ROM.

i was on the thread in android development that has the list of all the roms for the inspire 4g, but when i went to the cyanogenmod 10.1 it said Desire HD Android development at the top. is this rom actually able to run on the inspire?
DHD ROMs can run on the Inspire. They're nearly the same phone.
Some of the DHD ROMs like Jellytime have an Inspire patch you need to flash though, so watch for that. Otherwise, you should mostly be good. I'm new to rooting so don't just take my word for it, but they should work.

Yes you can run Desire HD roms on Inspire just use the inspire+mod pack. Its configures the audio and gps for the Inspire 4g. I attached it just download it. Flash the inspire zip after you flash the ROM. The beauty of this mod is that you can use just about any DHD made ROM as long as you flash this zip or your audio and other things will not work correctly.

And even then there's a decent chance it'll still work correctly, plus or minus a tinny sound effect. Personally I often forget to flash inspire mod, and I've never dealt with any major issues with it. It was designed for gingerbread, but so far every version of android up has worked with it (4.0, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2)
Desire HD= Inspire 4g with slightly more storage, a 3g radio, and marketed for Europe. The Inspire 4g has the exact same hardware, except with a 4g radio and slightly different speakers (hence the sound quality). The biggest difference is really in name.
Personally I'll find myself in the DHD threads more often than the I4G ones- they tend to be more populated and there's no difference.
Yes, it will run on the Inspire. I am running it now, and it's a little slow but pretty smooth and solid overall. Definitely flash inspiremod, although this is really optional.
