why not many ROMS for the Inspire? - HTC Inspire 4G

why are there hardly and ROMS made for the inspire? it is a great phone, but does not seem to get my attention by devs?

Now that you're in the right section there are lots of inspire roms. The Inspire is a Desire HD at heart, creating specific roms for the inspire is double work for devs as the desire HD roms work just fine, especially since the source was released. You have lots of options in the inspire and desire HD development sections.

You sure can. I'm not sure about the miui but everything else is good to go, kernels too. Most roms even include the sound fix these days so no worries there either.

It's a "new" platform just released. Even though it's similar to the Desire. Going to take a bit. I had my captivate for 6 months and they're just now getting into some nice looking ROMs..expect the same out of Inspire , though I'm seeing faster footwork here.

Nope unless they use Apache14's snazzy new kernel designed for both phones.
Source for the Insipre hasn't dropped yet. It has different sound hardware than the DHD
that source was for the inspire. Thats how the new sense kernels for the inspire are out. As far as cm7 there is more to it.

No, the INSPIRE source was not released. Just the Desire HD. Different sources

The inspire is a variant of the desirehd just a different name with a few different pieces inside. The source released today was for it.
Yeah, if you look at our QMD source, it now supports all the desire HD variants (the only real difference was the audio chip to start with)

[Q] Htc Desire HD Roms on HTC Inspire

Hello my name is Michael and I'm new to the forums and I have a question. Knowing that the inspire is just a American version of the desire hd, can you put desire hd roms on the inspire? I've tried it once and read a post on a blog that you would have to flash a a special inspire kernel, but when i did that after the htc boot screen it went black. Is there anything that I'm missing or is it just that not all desire hd roms will work with the inspire?
Someone please help out! I was about to post the same question.
Not all will work. Even though there are a TON of similarities, they are not exact trade off's. A Dev that works on both devices with ROM's will have to answer this one. This should get you started.
Not all of them work. Sometimes you gotta play around and change the radio/kernel. But the best desire tons are on the inspire threads imo.

Talderon & emmissary Thank you guys so much for the help. I have been flashing differnt kernals when using Desire HD Roms and sometimes after the first HTC boot screen it goes black. But I understand why some will and some wont work. Thank you for all the help.
According to my "about phone" tab:
Mod version: CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC4-DesireHD
Kernel version: 2.6.23.35-cyanogenmod-g0825ccb [email protected] #1
This is working great for me, and I have not noticed any problems with sound or stability thus far. The speakers are plenty loud, which seems to be a common complaint on rooted Inspires.

[Q] Before I Purchase a HTC Inspire...

Before I Purchase a HTC Inspire is this video tutorial pretty similar to the method of RC2.
Also what are the known flaws (if any) in the Android Revolution 4G 2.0.15 rom... since i am planning on flash that rom to my phone when i purchase it tomorrow.
Thanks.

Android rev with no sense is quote good in terms of battery use... And then there is leeroid. Flawless so far for me. I have gone through 7 roms on my inspire. These 2 are quote appealing to me

It and Leedroid are great. I use Leedroid specifically because the battery life is amazing.

[Q] Desire hd rom on inspire 4g

from what I've read, the most common issue was the 'tinny sound' issue. If its in the inspire Dev section, give it a go, you might be surprised.
All the ROMs on the inspire thread have good people behind them, I like ninja, and others like others. Heck the fun part of having a rooted phone is flashing the heck outta them.
Try them all keep the one YOU like.
thanks for the input guys..so i guess if i wanted to flash a desire rom i could then apply the tinny fix for the audio?
most of the roms in the inspire section are actually desire hd roms.
2 major differences:
inspire section roms tend to swap out all references to desire hd in favor of inspire 4g branding
tinny audio fix

Before official AT&T GB, I ran nearly every GB RUU there was. They all seemed to work just fine. I'm playing around now with the 3.06.405.1 release (Sense 3) now and it is remarkably stable.
thanks a bunch for the info guys now off to flashing my butt of..lol

Android 4.0

Soooooo, ever since the release of the nexus galaxy sporting the new adroid 4.0, i wondered, will we get the update, and if not, is there a way to replicate the look of the deivice theme wise,i love the way it looks!
HTC has not confirmed nor denied the Inspire will be getting ICS. I'd bet not, and if we do it will take a LONG time, or one of the devs here will port it.
In the mean time, if you head over to the Android Development and Hacking section, and check out the Android Themes sub-forum there are a lot of different launchers and themes with ICS flavoring.

I agree with him on the themes portion. There are MANY themes that are ICS, and many of them work well, and look VERY smooth.
Concerning ICS and the HTC Inspire. Looking at the specifications of the Galaxy Nexus, the Inspire has the internal components that can handle ICS. The processor for the Inspire is faster than the Galaxy, and so on. The only difference between the two is that the Inspire has dedicated soft keys on the home screen, whereas the Galaxy Nexus will have the home screen buttons as part of ICS itself.
Also, after talking to HTC, they're currently looking into how they can roll out ICS updates for as many phones as possible. I also read somewhere that most of, if not all, 2.3 phones WILL receive the update. Until then, continue looking at the forums and wait until a recognized developer ports to Inspire. Hope this helps!

Not sure where you got your information from but this isn't even close to be correct.
But, I'm sure we will see ICS on the Inspire fairly soon after Google releases the source. Whether its from the CM team or a different dev.

I wish all we had to worry abut was when HTC was gonna release it but we have to wait for ATT as it will be them that finally releases an official release for our phones. It may not happen and we will have to use a port from the DHD which only has to wait for the HTC
thank yoiu alll! and i didnt know we could go to the general android theme section and use themes from there lol, i thought we had to use the themes in our designated section only

That's a bummer. I've got 2 years before I can upgrade again. Its going to be a long wait.
Well they're already working on a port for the dhd, but I've heard that it doesn't work on the inspire but there's still a very good chance that we'll get sometime in the near future.

I do lol there are issues with cm roms that prevent me from using it as a daily. But if we don't get it then ill just have to wait lol
Biggest problem with CM Roms is battery. Only thing I miss about sense Roms is not having to charge halfway through the day.

Ok hmm thats odd as CM based roms do seem to have better battery then sense roms. I can get through a full day of normal use without charging.
