I rooted my inspire 4g, every thing is fine but when I check phone identity from settings it shows as Desire Hd, is there way to chafe it?

This is normal. The Inspire 4G is just the North American version of the Desire HD. The two phones are fundamentally the same. I haven't heard of any way to change it.

you can change it but you would have to edit the default.xml file
Very very simple fix...
Download root explorer.
Navigate to system folder.
Set as R/O.
Long press build.prop, open in text editor.
Go down to where it says Desire HD and change it to say HTC Inspire ™4G.
Press back button, save your new prop file, and reboot once for it to take effect.
I'm running Ultimate Droid for the DHD flawlessly on my Inspire, I can't stand seeing Desire HD in the phone model either lol.

it won't work like that believe me i know you have to edit the default.xml file located in /system/customize/CID & on that note you have to do this on a new flash meaning you will need to edit the default.xml file within the roms zip file before even flashing it
Edit: right now in my build.prop it still says desire hd but since i edited my default.xml file when i check my phones identity it says HTC Inspire 4G
Yes it does, mines changed right now...

i'm not going to argue with you but i know better the right way to change phone identity is they way i said in my post nuff said
read my edit in my last post if you don't believe me
The question in my mind is if HTC decided not to change this when customizing the phone for the NA market, did they have a reason (they made other changes)? Are there apps/accessories that may misbehave because they don't know what an "Inspire 4G" is (since no official phone has ever reported that ID)? Just wondering.

make sure you read post #14
Dude, do whatever works for you, doesn't bother me one bit
I put in my two cents, that's how I've changed the identity in the past and it DOES work.
It changed in settings> bluetooth, also changed on this screen where it says - Sent from my HTC Inspire ™4G using XDA App
But did not change in settings> about phone> phone identity.

Both are right. Some apps pull the model info from build.prop, some from default.xml. Change both before a flash and you are golden.

Hi i just notice that on my. Mytouch 4g when u go to settings then wireless network then turn wifi on and u go to the other setting to select which network u want. When u get there click on ur menu button then hit advance then make sure wifi performance is checked on. The phone stock does not havr it checked on. Thought this would help if u use wifi.

Does anyone know exactly what this does after enabling?
It probably enables "mimo" or "afterburner". Serious, look them up.
If you don't need it, then you may be able to conserve power.
yeah i just noticed this yesterday when i was on wifi at my house. but it will give u the best performance using wifi. but i saw some videos going against the iphone 4 and evo 4g and they always use wifi so i left a comment letting them know to make sure that is turned on so it would be a fair match up even though the mytouch 4g beat the iphone 4 and evo at pretty much everything lol.

not looking that easy. I just changed the build.prop and tried to install. rebooting now to see if that helps. I might try to force feed it to the /data/app and see if that helps.
edit = didn't work with edited build prop.
Yea... I spent about an hour trying. Looks like its dependent on quite a few other files.

When I did an adb install it failed because of missing dependent libraries, I haven't done a logcat yet though. Maybe after work tonight.
Will this work on RoyalThunder?

doubt full, it has something to do with either a file set or a chip set that is native to the HTC Thunderbolt and approved devices. If force feeding it via ADB and changing the build.prop doesn't work then it's something native to big red.

I rooted the phone and without a custom rom i get the h+ with the check mark. But I get no connection.
So I tried to install a custom mod and now i dont get the 4g speed i get an h with an up down arrow but I can connect to internet.
Can anyone help me. Please
Make sure the battery cover and sd card/sim card cover it on. Check settings>wireless and networks> mobile networks, and check your apn settings.
the h or h+ is irrelevant.
rooting procedure breaks the h+ connection. known fact. cm7 speedtest=.62 megabits down. .12 up. stock s on in same spot= 2.30 megabits down. .76 up.

Then there is something wrong with your flash. CM7 gets me the exact same speeds as any sense ROM.
Custom ROMs do NOT have the h+ icon. That is all it is. You may have to edit build.prop to get the 14.4mbit connectivity back. But no towers can even go near that fast right now.

Yup. LeeDroid's rom shows 3G for HSPA, and H for HSPA+, from what I can tell. I've had it cycle through the icons after a reboot. I haven't messed with a rom yet that had the H+ icon.
I just got 1514k / 1321k using the Gingerbread version of Android Revolution. Mine only shows an "H" icon.

While I know you weren't asking me, I too used Bubby's tool and my speeds are as fast as can be expected based on the time of day. I've seen as high as 3.79dn and 1.5up.
Dl Prop Editor from market and see what your settings are in build.prop.

I personally used the hack kit before bubby's came out.
Custom ROMs tend to remove the H+ icon, so all you will see is an H.
The speed varies on some ROMs. Edit your build.prop and reboot twice, and you should be good to go. I got 2.5ish on stock ROM, I get 5+ now.
GL!
I know mine varies all the time depening on the time of day. Used bubbys on 3.5 rev rom and have seen 4.6 and 1.9.. it varies though
Waiting on the new gb we will see what speeds we get there

it's actually an app that tracks your phone, can show call logs/texts, & what not. I use it in case my phone is ever stolen & it's way better than HTC's htcsense.com site.
for your case, you'd need to install it on her phone & then you can do with it what you want. There's a 7 day trial for it. If you send the command to get texts the phone doesn't know it. Also, you can make it hide the program from the app drawer so that it doesn't look like it's installed.
I know this isn't the intended use, but it may help you out
