Downloading this sucker right now. I am so stoked to test this one out soon.

Im building v7.1 right now. It should have some decent fixes in it. 3G fixes, audio fixes, some apps are fixed, and more.....
You can wait if you want, but it wont be up for about 3 to 4 hours, maybe just a little less.

Wow, sorry but I am loving this build. I can't wait to see the upgraded version.
How did you get that HTC Sense clock onto it?

Got some last minute changes, so I wont have it up this morning, but it should be up later this afternoon.

Thats actually Fancy Widget Pro 1.0.8 with a themed flip clock applied to it. I take it you want it! lol You cant have it! Its MINE! lol j/k its a very, very good app. I would suggest you check it out.

wat are in the extra apps apk folder??
is there any other kernels i can flash to OC??

As far as kernels go, there are more here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/chevyno1/149845-kernels-5-26-11-froyo-gingerbread.html
As far as what is in the extra apps zip, it contains the files and apps that I removed from the main ROM, to save space.

I cannot get this rom to load on my droid. I've downloaded it from this site and also off of rom manager. Is there anything special I have to do? I've loaded other roms without issue. Cyanogen 2.3.3 as an example.

Did you wipe first? (that sounded dirty...lol)

Steel Droid 7.1 is up! Fixes a few much needed issues! Enjoy!

7.1.1 is up! No posts by anybody in between either release???

I dont have the droid but I just flashed this on my friends, great job, everything seems to be working fine, keep up the good work

I am on Liquid 1.9, can you tell me how much different you rom is?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

My ROM doesnt have all the features that Liquid's 1.9 does, sadly. Mine is more of a minimal ROM, with all the necessary features in it, but not overloaded with settings so as to confuse the user. Because my ROM has less overhead, it saves battery, and can run smoother than most other ROM's. There is no one "perfect" ROM, they all have their flaws, and mine is no exception. I will never claim to have the best ROM out there, or the one with the fewest bugs. From time to time, one or both might be true, but not always.
So its really up to your personal preference

Just uploaded this onto a friends so we'll see how it works. Liquid 1.9 kept randomly resetting on him

In case your came across the WIFI bootloop issue, download the new zip as of today at 8pm. It has the fix for the bootloop issue. :-D

Hey man nice rom, so far so good, on daddy's droid. Anything to help this piece move along a little.

Worked great untill......
Fault: When I put the phone into airplane mode and turned on wifi, it locked the whole phone up. It will boot, but after boot it goes to the lockscreen and locks up for about 1 min then roboots on its own.
Edit: I was unable to fix this. I recovered nanoid...

Help. Can't Upgrade from 6
Hi,
I flashed this rom with no issues. Until.....
Once I install a profile switcher, the phone begins to go into an endless reboot loop that can't be stopped without a complete reset of the phone. I have tried two different profile switcher apps with the exact same result. I do not have this issue with 6 and have flashed back to my original backup.
Can someone help?.... Please!!! I would love to upgrade!!!
Apps tried:
PhoneWeaver (SBSH Mobile Software)
Smart Profiles (Free) (AnTuTu)
Thanks!

Keyboard randomly freezes on DHD ROMs!

I have had no major problems with my Inspire 4G while on Inspire 4G ROMs (well... Stock, rooted stock, and Inspired Ace which is customized for the inspire.) On every DHD ROM I have installed, there seems to be a problem with touch input. When typing emails, searches, SMS, and other things random keys will just stop working! Sometimes I can tap them repeatedly and fix it while others you have to exit whatever app you are in and open it back up. It gets really annoying.
I am currently on CoreDroid, but have had this problem with TB Fusion, RCMixHD, and RCMix3D as well. Since Inspired Ace worked fine I tried flashing its HTC_IME.apk to see if this fixed the problem. It didn't. I seem to be the only one with these problems on the Inspire. Has anyone else noticed? Does anyone have any suggestions for what could cause these issues?
(Yes, I am aware of the problems flashing ime packages from other ROMs can cause, I was just trying to see if it fixed the problem. I had to backup zip ready to flash in case it caused FC problems...)
Thanks in advance guys!

I'm using leedroid and I have the same problems of random keys not working at random times.

Wait so there is no possibility of ripping the drivers from stock and flashing or getting a kernel with them? And how come it worked on Inspired Ace? Did gtg465x get the driver issue fixed? Not trying to sound angry there just a bit perplexed since IA was dhd based....

Might be hardware than, I do remember it being brought up and it's unfixable.. I've had it happen on factory stock plenty of times. I just change my screen to horizontal and fixes it.

Hmm... Well mine never did that. Only failed to rotate a few times due to a few malfunctioning third party apps... If i find a fix I will post it.

I've had this as well and thought that maybe it was Better Keyboard having an issue with either the Inspire in general, or CoreDroid. So this is happening to others using the stock keyboard. Glad it's not just me.

No you aren't alone... I consulted gtg465x and he only edited a few things in /system/customize so I flashed the IA /system/customize/default.xml and it seems to have greatly improved. Noticed one of those such lags but it is not the one out of every hundred that it was. I typed this a few other things multiple sms one of which was long and only had to tap one key multiple times to get it to work. And only three taps at that!
If I further test it I will ask gtg for his permission and post the default.xml in a flashable zip.
Now all that is left to do is edit build.prop to make my phone say inspire not dhd then flash from mdj v21 to 23, calibrate battery for this ROM (grr... Coredroid updates wiped my battery stats while it was only at 63 percent charge during install) and then I can finally be happy and leave my phone exactly how it is! Yeah that will last all of what? A week maybe? Haha nah I am happy on coredroid!
Sent from my Desire HD (INSPIRE 4G!) using XDA App

I've had this happen to me on multiple ROM's and it always seems to be the "e" key that stops working for me. I just restart my phone or change input methods and it usually fixes it for a while.
Wish there was a permanant fix cause it does get annoying.

According to my research, editing the build.prop file on Sense ROMS doesn't directly reflect what is listed in About Phone. It seems that you have to edit default.xml in /system/custom/CID.... before installing the ROM

Yeah I read the same thing.right after i posted that... Oh well! Maybe when I get bored enough to do it. And after further testing i concluded that changing the default.xml to disable some of the keyboard layouts and things as gtg465x did didn't really help all that much... On the bright side, i may just go back to inspired ace and use uot kitchen to customize it
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

So nobody has any other potential fixes for these freezes? Has it happened on every ROM you guys have used or what? I tried replacing my customize folder with the one from ia with cut down keyboard languages and layouts but no luck. Maybe we can find a fix!
EDIT: There may appear to be some confusion here. The problem in reference is not that the keyboard fails to rotate, gets stuck in landscape, or shows that a message is being typed and nothing appears on screen. The problem I am having here is that certain keys in random order at completely random times do not work but the keys around them do. This results in messages such as "Hey that bnd sunded relly gd" instead of "Hey that band sounded really good!!!" because the A and O ceased to function and likewise the exclamation point which is with the A. Also, at times the key will show it is being pressed but stops registering before the symbol it relates to is pressed. These problems exist on stock android keyboard and on sense keyboard. Hopefully someone will find a fix in drivers or something otherwise we will have to wait for a cracked official OTA GB update if that ever happens as they say it will...

BTT
I´m having the same issue, and it´s driving me crazy!!!
It´s weird, because I´ve had this phone for months, and had no problems, until a week ago.
I´m on Stock ROM BTW.

no solution? this is an on going problem and hard to ignore...

I have to agree with everyone here.. It is a pretty glaring flaw in the Inspire. And many people think that it barely happens.. But it is a problem that occurs for me at least 5 times a day and that is not an exaggeration. Everything that I have been reading does say that this is an impossible thing to fix.. Just a bit frustrating. Does anyone have a way that lessens this from occurring?

ive had this problem also for awhile. ive had it on every custom rom that i can think of. i used coredroid and cm7 for awhile. right now im using miui. ive tried 3-4 different keyboard at least, and had this problem with all of them. the keyboards accuracy also seems to decline. when switching to a new keyboard the problem initially goes away, but it eventually starts doing it again with the different keyboard.

finally! thanks you, guys. Finally I get support for a bug that supposedly didn't exist. I have been out of the rooting and ROM flashing game for a few months, as I got a new Inspire and never got the chance to root it. I finally caught a break from school work and got fed up with having to do battery pulls on the ATT stock ROM (terribly made, I must say. Sense froze daily.) I rooted and flashed the trusty old Inspired Ace and what do you know? flawless. as always. I flash the new coredroid 8.1 to see if the keyboard bug still persisted. For the first day, I had no problems. Then the freezes came back. I think it is very possibly a side effect of the undervolt kernel. As for those that say all phones are not created equally, and my processor just can't take the ROM, is that really likely on two phones in a row while the inspired ace ROM works flawlessly?
Edit: Also, for those that say stick to IA if it works, it hasn't been updated in a long long time and never will be since GTG465x moved to the Captivate

It's not that people don't beleive you, its just that this is not a common enough bug for it to be a software issue. It has to be a specific hardware malfunction. I have never had this problem on any Rom configuration that I have used. I have never seen it as a reported bug either.
Sent from my Inspire 4G Using XDA Premium

Good point... It just still doesn't make since since one DHD ROM didn't do it all yet others do. Coredroid I is not doing it nearly as severely cd6 did. So maybe there is hope that it is a fluke combination of hardware and software bugs rarely manifested.
Sent from my Inspire4G using XDA App

Bump
Well, in preparation for android 4 I decided to get used to AOSP ROMs since they will probably be more widely available than ICS Sense ROMs. After using cm7.1 for just two days, the bug is still there. Note that this is a different inspire than the thread was started on. Does anyone have any solutions? It just makes no sense that this bug does not occur for me on Inspired Ace or Stock but does on every other GB Rom I have tested. For everyone reading this with the urge to pop a comment at me like "Stupid, stick with IA if it works," that ROM has been abandoned since May 5, so it is outdated. Any hopes for ICS roms solving the problem?
Keyboard app is not the problem. Does it on touch input (sense ROMs), swiftkey X, swype, and android default keyboard.

Genexus S

Nice rom but I found it to be a bit slow, was I buggin out?

I actually downloaded this rom (I have the Nexus S for AT&T) last night and i'm about to wipe device and flash a new one. The app drawer takes forever to load and it seems like a pretty consistent problem. I have rebooted and done a battery pull and still same issue. Also the theme comes with a custom lockscreen and I have yet to see an option to disable or change it so that I may use widgetlocker. As of right now I have widgetlocker and I have to unlock 2xs along with password which is a pain.
I will say that it is pretty zippy in all aspects. The internet loads very quickly. The apps switch very quickly. When composing text messages the keyboard responds very quicky. The messages send very quickly. However the app drawer not loading is what seals the deal for me. I came from MIUI the latest build is 1.8.26 and had the previous 2 builds before that and I had an issue of my service dropping in and out until I did a reboot. I searched around and there were a handful of others that had the same problem. I love the rom and the ability for customizations however I need my device functioning over beauty.
If others have downloaded this rom, I would love to hear feedback on thier experience on it.

Have you tried v2? It's only recently been released.
It looks and feels great BUT I can't get my wifi to work.
The devs site says the ROM doesn't include radio so I assume this is why my wifi isnt working? I have I9020 and based in UK and KD1 and KB3 don't make the wifi work. Does anyone have any ideas how I can enable wifi?
Thanks

To get your wifi working try downloading a different kernel. The kernel controls the wireless module in the phone. You may want to download a few so if your phone doesn't boot up with one kernel you can also do a battery pull then reboot back into clockwork recovery and try a different kernel. Try a netarchy Cfs 2.3.4 aosp or universal kernel or a matrix kernel. The netatchy cfs 2.3.4 aosp kernel will probably work best. This is in the genexus toolbox on the market for free to download and then you just have to flash through clockwork.

Anyone else haveing problems getting data to work right on eaglesblood ROMS?

So you may have read in my last thread that I was haveing problems with eaglesblood its ashamed too because it really is a kick ass ROM but i think it needs some work. No matter what I do I keep loosing my data conection. I just Installed Bionex and it runs great and it had no problem connecting to the network but it doesnt have the cool tweeks that EB has. I think I am going to try cm7 though. The things I really want are first the power controls in the notification bar that was kick ass nex profiles I liked that the ability to customize the lockscreen that was cool too.
I would like to know if it is just me or if others are having this problem too. There has got to be something I am doing wrong I doubt they put out a ROM that has that many problems and All I hear is good thyings about EB so it has to be me. Please someone help me fix this because I am tired of dam stock GB Help Help Help!!!!!

it happens to me too, i just power phone off and on it comes back.

yeah it only happens the first time I power off or reboot after install the rom I see there is a new thread today about data not working on ROMS based on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 but it works fine on 2.3.3 what I did was a hard reboot and it started working again.

CM10

Hey I just wanted to know peoples opinions on what is the best CM10 Rom so far. Especially considering the things that dont work like MMS or tethering or Netflix (I dont think any work with it though)

I like it. It's clean and boost free.

Official CM10 nightly

mms aint working yet but should in next official nightly. which should be in a few hours... other than that, official definitely had the most stable release!

NFC also isn't working but hopefully it gets fixed soon including MMS.

You'll probably just want to roll with the officials. Most everything you want has already been or is soon to be merged.

Anyone get WiFi tether to work? It worked for me on CM9

Just a question. Does CM10 have the long press volume feature to skip tracks while the phone is asleep? Love this about synergy

i have used about a day and here are my thought
unlocked bootloader
i have cleaned cache format factory reset before install
after boot i have loaded my app with data not bloatware with toolbox pro
using go launcher no live wall paper and juice defender
rest of app are... well just application and few games.
and here is real pro and cons
Pro
Fast, it does the job, google and now other jb features are works perfectly
unlock bootloader can be easily done thanks you adam.
boot time is faster than what i used to use AOKP milestone 6.1
Con
UNSTABLE, within half a day rebooted like 3~4 times while i was doing something
who know how many times it rebooted while i wasnt looking.. it seems more because from battery status
there are few blank spots. i have no idea what is wrong kernel perhaps?
i am not sure i thought CM is made from AOSP so i thought it should be pretty stable but i guess not.
also i have car blue tooth device with handset free (GROM) it wont connect and my logitech one works perfectly
DATA also not stable it think for battery it tries to turn it off (i think it's from juice defender) but takes about 10~15 seconds before i get the data
if you dont have problem with rebooting at random times, some glitches and no softkey (it's nightly so i cant really say it's bad rom)
this is the ROM.. it's faster than any rom i have tried.. what do you guys think??
maybe i should have tried longer but for me it was too unstable.

does cm10 have any critical bugs??

So, I was curious about a couple things.
First, how do nightlies work? Do you have to go and download a new file every single night and flash it? Or is there something working with the ROM that will flash a new version for you as it comes?
Second, I was curious as to when you guys think that CM10 for the SGSIII will be stable to the point where all major things, data, keys, gallery, camera, MMS, bluetooth, etc, are working reliably? I'm incredibly pleased with the stock experience, but there's always something to be gained from custom ROM's and I'm looking forward to being able to use CM10 I just don't want to miss a big part of my phone.
Not meaning to hijack the thread or anything! I'll throw in my two cents too by saying that I'd recommend the official CM10 based on the fact that MMS seemingly works currently and I'm unsure of how it's doing on the unofficial ROM.

Again, its fully stable. In your "second" part, literally every single thing you listed is fully working and stable. Except soft keys which were actually disabled because they have the same purpose as hard keys and just take up valuable real estate. Yes, nightlies are every night but you can dirty flash if you're lazy. You only really need to flash once a major fix or update has been merged. Just follow the changelogs.
And for you, based on what you reported as not-working, I'd also say you got a bad flash or something. Mine runs almost identical to what stock JB ran on my GNexus. Only better with mods
