Well I see all these roms out for the leaked 2.3.3 and then I see CM7. I've never used CM7, so I'm.not aware of the differences. Could someone shed some light for me and possibly direct me towards me

Well...
The leaked 2.3 Roms have sense 2.1.
CM7 is built from source to be like vanilla android, but there are more options.
I've tried a few of the GB/Sense rom's and I've been on CM7 since nightly 17, now on RC3.
Its more of a matter of appearance, I've tried a lot of them and I prefer CM7 builds, but I use Sense sometimes, as well as MIUI, which also has a 2.3 build.
Its a brilliant community and the developers for the desire HD/inspire have turned out some amazing quality rom's.

Well question is what's the difference between sense 2.0 and 2.1? I just want opinions and what everyone seems to prefer. I'm looking for a nice look with good download / upload speeds.

The differences between sense 2.0 and 2.1 aren't that big, but there is a settings tab in the notification pull down and a tweaked app drawer that has favorite and downloaded app tabs.
That's really it aesthetically, but under the hood its made to work with android 2.3.
They are all test builds though, you could try an optimized stock rom with sense 2.0 and froyo?
There are a lot of options now and more to come.

hi i just purchased a inspire yesterday and had a captivate before hand. going to root my phone and wondered what people here think is the best rom for this phone ??
I really liked CoreDroid a lot and used it for a week or so then switched to cyanogenmod7 for a few days. Definitely prefer CoreDroid over cm7. Now I'm running LeeDrOiD and think I may prefer this over the other two.
Just find a few you like and try them out for a while. You'll figure out which is best for you

What do you like about leedroid? I saw it has a larger speaker boosts... are the notifications noticeably louder? Give me your low-down on LD
If you want no frills and solid, snappy performance and response...I highly recommend Ingersol ROM.
Maybe its cause I'm older, but I really dig that ROM.
i use to run cognition on my captivate it was a pretty good rom
I like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033434 its also the only GB rom specifically built for the inspire 4g but it doesnt have some of the cooler stuff but its got insane speed
I've only been using LeeDrOiD for a few hours so I can't say much. Initially everything appears to maintain the stock sense look without the graphic tweaks from CoreDroid. Battery seems a little better with LeeDrOiD but it's still too early to tell.
My first LeeDrOiD flash ended up with me stuck in a force close loop that I attribute to my own mucking around in the build properties file. I reflashed and it seems fine so far but I haven't rebooted yet after reinstalling my apps.
I went with LeeDrOiD because it seems to have more under the hood tweaks and optimizations that I like. If this isn't satisfactory ill probably be back to CoreDroid.
As far as audio, it seems about as loud as cm7. CoreDroid was louder if I remember rightly and my ears don't deceive me. That may just be from different test sounds though. Seems plenty loud on LeeDrOiD though.
EDIT: Just did some more test listening to LeeDrOiD.. seems about the same as I remember CoreDroid being. I've also rebooted the phone the the force close loop is not there. Must have been my own fault before, thankfully.

Bubby's one click is what I used. Quick and easy, but you need to follow the instructions TO THE LETTER. 99% of the issues people have with bubby's program is because they skip, tweek or misunderstand steps.

Yes. This. Watching the YouTube video also helps a lot. Even for the more experienced users its a good thing to even check out. There are small little steos, like closing out of the terminal app on the phone with the back button, that may go overlooked.

I made a gold card using the SimpeGoldCard GUI and then used Bubby's tool.
ROM: RCMix 5.9x series (with Sense, but has 'extra' to go senseless). It's also CWM enabled for OTA updates now.
sense isnt to bad as a launcher i used touchwiz before cause of the captivate. way more steps to root compared to it. but as long as you follow the steps its all good
think I might switch from captivate to inspire. what's the main difference, OP?

i like it so far. got more ram then the captivate. more gingerbread roms then the cappy from what i scene. rooting is more difficult but if you follow the developers directions is pretty easy. the one problem i have is removing the batter cover and sim card its a pain in a butt lol. but i would consider it a upgrade compared to the cappy. of course the sgs2 may come to att so u may wanna wait for that if your upgrading the phone.
CM7 or anything based on it in my opinion, but I hate every manufacturer UI.
CM7 Inspire 4G

I bought my htc inspire 4g on saturday and rooted, s-off'd, flashed clockworkmodrecovery and flashed CM7 last night. Big change! I love it though, but im a bit ocd and cm7 seems heavier than i thought it would, most likely because of ADW, Is there a flavor, build, etc of CM7 7.0 or 7.2 with gingerbread launcher like the nexus s?
Thanks!

Nope it's ADW, themed, not as smooth or fast as the gingerbread stock launcher.
Maybe ill just stick with it for now, but does anyone know if theres a zip i can flash ontop of CM7.2 that will give me it maybe?

Whats it called? i've never seen it, and does it matter im on the inspire?
Edit: and if it's that one from stevin lin i've heard it's not very good, and buggy compared to roms preinstalled with gingerbread.

Why not go into Market and search for gingerbread launcher?
It doesn't matter that you are on the inspire.
Try MoDaCo's version
the gingerbread launcher on the nexus s is hardware accelerated for the app drawer portion, using the graphics chip. so it wont be as smooth on the inspire or other android phones...the homescreen and side swiping will be the same though, just not the 3d app drawer.
I recently rooted my inspire, first android device, and installed CM7 because it seemed amazing, not saying it isn't. I like CM7, but i like pure Gingerbreads gingerygoodness even better. I am currently running CM7-Phunky Cow "flavored"
and i like it because of the actual launcher and runs higher quadrant scores.
I like pure gingerbread, but i think i may miss the cm7 settings, some i use, also i miss HTC widgets and camera, etc, but i cant stand sense anymore.
Anyone have recomendations on ROMS, or CM7 Flavours/Mods?
Use Ultimate Droid

I have tried that and it seems alot heavier then CM7, and that's not really what im aiming for, plus the theme is wierd on it, im not sure how i'd go with changing that.
What's the reason you use it?
Its very smooth and fast and my speed increased and its just perfect for me

Right now Cm7 is starting to make me not like my phone for some reason so let's put it this way, is there a Stable, User-Friendly, non sense rom out there thats gingerbread?
The nature of all custom roms are beta's nothing more, every rom including the stock non rooted rom is subject to hiccups.

+1. Gingerbread, works great, smooth, slick, and not an lick of Sense. If you are looking to try something different, you owe it to yourself to give it a go. C'mon over to the Dark Side, the water is great!

Pure GB. Fully customizable. Great Quadrant scores (for what they're worth). No problems whatsoever...
And I jumped to the "Dark Side" straight from the latest CM7 build...and haven't looked back....

Well i guess im going to try miui, but how do i get it looking more like gingerbread, that seems heavily modded visualy... And is it using gingerbread launcher or an app launcher
If you're looking for a Gingerbread build with Sense, try RCMix 5.9.x, available for download directly via CWM.

It's using a home launcher.
If you want a pure GB home launcher, or have it look like CM7, just download ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro.
I'm currenrly running ADWEx on mine...
MIUI is fully customizable, and even has its own dedicated dev forum...

[Request] Can someone please make the sound on CM6 work on the Inspire? I understand the ROM was made specifically for the DesireHD before the Inspire hit the shelves. Supposedly the CM6 kernel is the problem. I've flashed other kernels and tried manipulating the sound scripts and haven't made any headway. I've got some serious "donations" waiting for the Dev. But it has to work.
Sent from my Inspire 4G that seriously wants CM6.
Just get cm7?

What's cm6? Jk. Really I was never around for cm6, I jumped in the android game when cm7 hit. Haven't looked back yet

I prefer 6 over 7. After playing around with both I can't find any noticable performance difference for daily use. But I prefer the look of 6. I cooked the heck out of CM7 trying to find a good look for me but it didn't work out. Can't stand how blacked out and cheap the menus look.
