[Q] Problems with Desire HD (DHD) ROMs?

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.

Best Sense based Rom

I know roms different from user to user & device to device but I just wanted to hear a consensus on which is the overall best sense based Rom currently available on the inspire platform. I love sense & want to play around with a few different ones. So far, I'm fascinated with the CoreDroid rom. What other roms can compete with this one?

Your probably not going to get a response for this question. Its all a matter of opinion. Ill recommend rcmix. Check it out. Also most people are going to tell you there is no best its all about what you think. And you will probably get flamed for this question if you do get a response.

It's kinda like when your wife asks "does this make me look fat? "
Sometimes there's just not a simple answer....other than "no".

Person A: "Rom X rulez!"
Person B: "WTF? Rom X bricked my phone!"
Person C: "?"

So the 6+ other Posts that showed up when you typed this subject weren't good enough for you? I mean really Jebus.......

There is no BEST ROM as you would have found had you searched first. Please search before opening a new thread.

Stock AOSP ROM for Sensation 4G

Is anyone aware of a plain vanilla stock Android ROM that can be used with the Sensation 4G? Basically I am looking for the "pure" Android experience that comes on the G2, G2x, etc but without the bloatware and that is unlocked. I know there are a number of other ROM's out there that people will claim are better, but I am more than happy to start clean (and stable!) and add what I want. Any suggestions? As good as some of the other ROM's surely are, I would prefer one that came directly from Google and can basically guarantee all functionality will work. Thoughts?

There are none yet, at least none that are fully functional. i guess you will have to wait some more weeks.

senseless extreme is 2.3.4 AOSP with some sense features (like the dialer, the people and sms apps etc. but there's very little trace of sense on the rom). give it a go, i 've tried it myself, seems ok, and the dev keeps it up to date i guess. once CyanogenMod 7.1 's available for the Sensation go try it, it will be your best guess closest to aosp + tweaks. best roms out there imo.

I've just flashed Senseless Extreme and it's great

are you serious? thats what theyve been saying this whole post... what you're looking for doesn't exist at the moment.

Yes I am serious. I has been almost three weeks since I created this post (and asked the question) and a lot can happen in that period of time.

A lot can happen, yes. But asking the same damn question shows your lack of respect for this community by not putting in your own legwork first to try and and answer your question.
Had you done your own legwork (instead of asking us to do it for you), you would find that the same aosp build in progress hasn't changed on the user end, but it seems they're making a lot of progress. But it's still not ready yet (and no eta as to when due to kernel.org being hacked and all associated git repos being shut down until further notice).

First, I am not asking the same question again. I simply replied to an existing thread checking for updates. Second, you clearly didnt read what I wrote or you decided to reply rudely anyway. I did the "legwork" and couldnt find an AOSP ROM on my own, so I wanted to see if anyone in this community was either working on one or was aware of one that hasnt yet gone mainstream.

The only thing that is an issue to me with these "senseless ROMS" is that when someone calls you, you must unlock the phone (with the stock android unlock screen) and only then can you click andswer phone. It is a limitation in all senseless or stock ROMS.
I too am waiting for Cyanogenmod

Yeah, I have heard that (about senseless ROMs) from a number of people and thats why I am holding out for something better. Cyanogenmod should be good, but I figured a pure stock ROM would be released prior to that. I guess time will tell as to which comes first!

Senseless Extreme is not AOSP, but probably the closest we have to AOSP at present.

Has cm7 came out for the sensation yet?

Checked the website... Don't see the sensation on devices.... Is it floating around? If not what's the best Rom out right now?

CM7 is currently being worked on. It's out there. Go to the development thread and just try out some roms. there are many good roms like android revolution hd, senseless extreme, leedroid and many more.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G

Any recommendations?

There's a version of CM7 compiled by AOSP, which you'll find floating around in the developers section. Search is your friend in that case.
The official version, which isn't planned to be released until it's bug free (Or on par with other CM7 devices), has been delayed because of the Sensation's CPU and a few auditory problems. It shouldn't be much longer, but as always, its ready when its ready and no sooner.
Try out a few of the Sense roms already released. MIUI and AOSP roms will be buggy.

I canttt wait cannot stand sense and all the bloated garbage that is added onto it. bring on cm7

Number one rule of CM7 is that you don't ask when it comes out. Right now I'm running LeeDRoID and it's great.

Here we go again.wanna CM7 that bad??! i have an idea;GET A FREAKING NEXUS
End of story.

CM7 nightly's are yet to be released for the sensation, let alone a stable full release. However, there is a slew of great ROMS available right now. Personally I use The Beast v1. Props to Melvin.

Yeah, there are some really stripped down, fast sense-less ROM's out there currently. Stable too with all the features working for the most part (lol)

[Q] Will We Have To Wait On T-Mobile To Release ICS Via OTA After March?

I've got a question. I posed this question in a different thread, but thought that it'd spark an interesting discussion for T-Mobile customers.
HTC announced that they won't be releasing ICS until late March, but what about T-Mobile?
Do I have to wait until HTC releases ICS to T-Mobile, and then wait until T-Mobile decides to release ICS to the public via OTA?
That would really suck if we have to wait even more time for T-Mobile to bloat the crap out of ICS when HTC releases ICS in late March
EDIT:
Since people have interpreted my post incorrectly, here's a quick statement to address the issue -
You guys misunderstood me. Let me make this clear:
I am not bashing custom ROMs. I am not bashing developers. I know that devs put a lot of time and effort to bring custom ROMs to XDA members, and I greatly appreciate that.
I am not saying that an OTA update will be far superior to a custom ROM.
I choose not to root my phone and install a custom ROM because I have issues following directions. Inevitably, I would screw something up and have a phone with limited capabilities. I can't risk that happening to me, because my job requires me to have a fully functional phone 24/7.
I apologize if you guys took my post the wrong way. In no way did I mean any disrespect to XDA or developers of custom ROMs.

first off why are you waiting ics is out now
second yes tmob sprint att vr will always bloat it up with there stuff like wifi calling and there crap so ota is off by a few eeeks or months UNLESS YOU COME HERE look is dev section for ics cant miss it

You think I'm stupid or something? I KNOW that ICS custom ROMs are available right now.
I purposely choose not to install a custom ROM due to the countless issues that people report. I need a stable phone and my job requires me to have a functioning phone 24/7. I can't test out custom ROMs for that reason.
I'm waiting for ICS over OTA.

Last time HTC promised an OTA for the Sensation 4G (2.3.4), they were on time. I think they're probably working with T-Mobile to deliver it by March.

Well I think so to man .... All this help help **** I keep seeing after someone flashes a new Rom is getting old that's what u get for ****ing with the OS ... On the phone people should just wait for the real HTC ice cream ....
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

For custom ROM's on ICS, they are perfectly stable now, many hundreds of users are happy using them as daily drivers.
For T-Mobile, we alread have WiFi calling perfectly functional (which is lucky because T-Mobile havent updated their app since 2.3.4) so if you want to waste time waiting for OTA, that is up to you but you won't get anything a custom ROM doesn't already give you

That's a bit harsh and too much of a generalization. I'd be willing to bet money most of the "help help ****" you refer to is mainly because some people don't take the time to read the directions carefully before trying things out. I'm a bit paranoid myself and tend to read things over several times before trying something new. If you want to wait for the OTA that's your choice, just remember you don't get to complain about how long it takes

I am a T-Mobile USA user and I use ARHD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4 With no issues. My browser works, my GPS works, my email works, my camera /camcorder works, my WIFI calling works... please actually test a rom before you make a statement on how they don't work and you want a "stable" phone. All you have to do is make a backup of your current stock rom and flash a custom rom on your day off...

Most of custom sense roms are more stable than stock. The devs here have eliminated almost all the issues that HTC created. Custom roms are faster, have better battery life and make our phones work as they should. The majority of those people that complain and ask for help about stuff that they broke are lazy and dont take the time to read the instructions or even search for an answer! So you have to try something to judge it. The devs put a lot of time and effort on that builts and they do it for free!

It's really happening that people just ask without even searching. Most of them ask about common issues and it's impossible not to find an answer in a thread like ARHD 6.2.1 which has literally 5000+ pages of posts in it.

I *kinda* see where you're coming from there.
The thing is, people have the right to "**** with the OS" all they want since they paid a premium for the phone but some people flash ROMs without taking risks into account and then ***** about problems without trying to search for solutions in the forums but the way you put it was kind of elitist if you ask me.

Most of the issues in mike's ROM have been fixed by other's but mike doesnt update his ROM often so people are still posting about crap that has been solved.
Solution: dont always assume mike's ROM is the best, hunt around and find a different ROM you like

I don't want to sound crude, but if you know that ICS roms are available now, wouldn't you know that HTCs official RUU will be made into countless roms on this forum as soon as it's available?
I don't understand your question.

In all likely hood once HTC releases it most chefs would work from that. I don't know why they would need to wait for Tmobile just to cook a ROM based off of HTC source. The only useful thing you'd probably get from Tmobile is just radio info and maybe wifi calling if they make any changes.

He could of just joined XDA to gain some of the latest "Sensation 4g" news, maybe he's rooted other phones in the past, maybe he just likes to read upon development and he will eventually root and install a custom rom once he feels comfortable.
There's many reasons to be a member of XDA without a rooted phone. Many websites get their news from XDA first and then post it on their website. Why not just get the news directly from the source (XDA)?

I definitely get where your coming from. It takes time to get a custom ROM, flash it, and set up the home screens, and then realize you doing like htc locations being selected as default over Google maps, and then you have to search and find out how to change that. Once the official is out, you can just root, remove bloat you don't like,and not waste too much time. To each his own, that's the beauty of android, you can prefer to use it the way it comes, or get it cooked
