Desire HD ROMs

I've found that you can flash some Desire HD ROMs to the inspire if you flash a compatible kernel over top of it.
I'm currently running Android Revolution HD on my Inspire (so far the only one I've tried, I haven't had any issues yet).
Here are the steps I used to do this:
- Copy ROM and Kernel to SDCard
- reboot into recovery
- Make a nandroid backup from Clockwork Recovery (I always make a backup just in case I need to go back)
- wipe data/cache in Clockwork
- flash ROM from Clockwork
- flash kernel from Clockwork
I used a Telus Desire HD kernel I found on the forums (same as Inspire) Sound and everything works.
I'll also attach the kernel I used for everyone to try it out.
Please report and other ROMs you have success or failure with so everyone can know what works.
EDIT: This isn't really needed anymore since the new source and kernels coming out support the Inspire. Just find a ROM that has the 1.72 kernel source and flash it, it should work as is.
I'm using Revolution HD that mike1986. posted in this this forum with no issues.

does CM7 work? I am scared to mess until I get an easy way to revert to stock like odin back to stock on the captivate. If someone knows an easy fail safe measure like the download mode on the captivate I would love to know then i will try anything!

I love you <3 lmao

That's what nandroids for! And, nothing will be like odin or kies, its HTC, not samsung, just read, you can revert to stock as long as you have a nandroid

CM7?
........

I just flashed CM7 and the telus kernel, I got stuck on HTC white screen..hmm!!

Tony710 - genius move, buddy. I have had my goldcard ready, but have been waiting for this ROM to become available ( heard this is so much faster and more power efficient than stock).
Needless to say, i'll be rooting and flashing this tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Not cyanogen. Goto HTC Desire HD Development forum, and grab the Android Revolution ROM.

Flashed leedroid v.2 with the telus rom and it works just fine. kinda wish i had the leedroid rom because it had a %20 vol increase. but i now have a 1.22ghz OC!!!!! Can anyone make a increased volume kernel. i've noticed that ours is blocked to 73% of the maxium

HTC Inspire...check
ROOT...check
CWM...check
Flashing custom rom on a phone released 3 days ago...Priceless!!!

[KERNEL] Stock Inspire 4G Kernel

Here's the stock Inspire 4G Kernel You can flash any DesireHD ROM, then flash this on top of the ROM to enable audio.
Basically, I just took the Telus kernel that's floating around here, and replaced the bcm4329.ko and boot.img with the ones from the stock ROM.
Happy flashing!

This is flashable with any desire hd? Does it have clean sound?

You should be able to flash this kernel with any DesireHD ROM. The sound quality is almost the same as the Telus kernel from what I remember.
I think the main problem with sound quality is compatibility between the ROM and the Kernel. Something is missing in the DHD ROMs that slightly degrades sound quality when used on an Inspire 4G. Hopefully someone figures this out soon

Oh ok. So what is gained from this kernel over the TELUS?

Honestly, I have no clue. Some people have said the Telus kernel is unstable for one reason or another so I figured why not just rip the kernel out of the stock ROM It might or might not be more stable

I haven't noticed any instability.

Has anyone tried this with cm7?

[FIX] Smoothness on RUU 2.36.405.8 and Saga based ROMs

Some people have been asking me why my Inspire ROM based on RUU 2.36.405.8 feels smoother than other ROMs using this base (when scrolling through home screens in particular). I again thought I should share with the community to improve all Desire HD ROMs.
It's as simple as dropping in a few libs from the 2.31 leak (libsurfaceflinger.so, libsurfaceflinger_client.so, and libpagemap.so to be exact). Hopefully HTC takes notice of both this and the wifi issue and fixes them both in future builds.
This will help both RUU 2.36.405.8 and Saga based ROMs.
Just flash through Clockwork Recovery.
It may seem simple, but it actually took me a long time to narrow down which exact files are required to fix the issue, so if you appreciate my work, donations of any amount are very much appreciated.

It's funny, I mentioned this scrolling lag quite a few times and people said things like "I have zero lag, the ROM is flying!" and stuff like that. I thought the lag was just targeting me haha. Nice to know I'm not alone .
Thanks for the fix man, I really appreciate it. I was about to give up on the laggyness on the new ROM's until I tried this out. It works like a charm and makes them as fast, or faster than the S ports.

yes that is the RUU to flash.
but before you do that u need to be sure you have bootloader ENG HBOOT-0.98.2000

then you run the RUU.exe file on your pc and follow the on screen instructions.
this will return you completely to stock

Hi meinfreund,
What are the problems you are having with your navigation? I've been on VoidU and now MIUI and got my navigation running pretty well. Actually MIUI seems to be incredible with it's assisted GPS implemented settings.

I also had gps problems on certain 2.3.5 roms. Couldn't get the gps icon to even appear in the notification bar. No error messages when turning gps on though. Sound like your problems?
No need to go back to stock. Try Coredroid or CM7. I can confirm both work with gps. Also perhaps try LeeDrOid. Very close to stock look and feel but with some nice tweaks. Gps also working there too.

the icon appears and i got gps far outside the city, but when i grabbed it the signal was lost. Had to put it in front of the car to get the signal, very sensitive. I resetted gps data many times but that didn't change anything.
Before i started flashing ROMs, it worked pretty fine, in the cities too.
Actually I think that all the ROMs that I tried are not faster or better than the Stock I had before. So i'm a bit confused about what doing next?!
LeedrOid and Coredroid are from August. Aren't they a bit outdated?
Does an update of the Base and Kernel might has positive effects to the gps?
Because ther is an update for Desire S Official Sense 3.0 - [GRJ90] [2.3.5] OTA 2.10.401.4

I tried MIUI too, same problem here

If you want navigation working why dont you use another stable ROMs like Virtuous Unity, VoidU1.1a etc. etc..
Reverting back to stock is something unusual after rooting. There are lot of candidates , Just pick one and hit the base..Keep Hitting

Read that Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 will be released soon, can anyone say how long it usually takes to get a release of a new version such as ICS 4?
Would like to test that as well

Hey,
I now flashed the Cyanogenmod 7.1 and have big trouble with that.
GPS does not work as well as with the other ROMS (GPS fix can't even "fix")
But there are some more difficulties.. i cant call or get called by someone, the Homebutton does not work (after flash, it worked.. but after shutdown it doesn't anymore)
Apart from these problems, this ROM is very fast and nice looking!
Does one of you have an idea how long it takes until a shipped ROM of ICS is available when its released?

Hi I have also cm7.1 since stable release and not having your problems. Just csipsimple has some isues. Did you do wipe cache and data? Did you restore via titanium? I restored BT pairings and had to begin since clean system, cause BT didn't work correctly. I would give a try to flash radio.

in that case you should consider about the bad weather that can affect GPS receiver.
so you can try later whenever the weather becomes better?

Sound not working

When I am on stock froyo, the sound works fine, I can listen and watch youtube videos, play audio. But when I flashed Desire HD rom I won't get any sound. I even flashed the audio fix but still doesn't work. I am trying to Flash MIUI from Symoc's. Anything I need to take care off? I was earlier having inspire 4g 6 months ago but I came back to Inspire after playing with LG THrill. Anything I am missing. I used the ACEHD kit to root and simlock..
Anything else I am missing. If I go back to stock the sound works fine.

First, wrong forum..mods please move this to the Q&A forum.
secondly, why are you flashing a Desire HD rom on the Inspire, just use the Inspire MIUI rom. I usd MIUI way back when I first rooted and had no issues with the sound. Not sure if the Desire HD rom has anything to do with it but best bet would be to start with the MIUI rom for the Inspire and see where that takes you.

Well MIUI lumps the DHD and Inspire together, as do many folks. If you found an Inspire-specific download page, please let us know. There is also InspireMod to make a couple adjustments from DHD ROMs for the Inspire.

With the latest MIUI ROMs, you will need to flash an alternate kernel to be to repair the sound issue. Most people have found luck with LordModUE 8.1 or Tiamat kernels. I suggest you hang out in the MIUI.us forums and the live chat for help with MIUI. Hope it helps!

Some do, some don't. I know since the Tinny audio and stuff, the push has been to include Inspire branding scripts for most of the ROMs now that are available for both the Inpsire/DHD which consequently automatically fix certain issues that arise from Desire based ROMs being flashed onto the Inspire. AOSP ROMs seem to have to a need for Inspire branding, lucky for me I use Absolution which recognized my phone as an Inspire and no need for any kind of inspire branding or audio fixes. With that being said, I guess this would have been better served by a MIUI guru if asked in the MIUI Q&A, hope the OP gets it figured out!

Yeah, I'd love to see the branding and audio fixes pushed out with with the new releases, as there were no issues in the past. For now, the best luck I had was with Tiamat kernel 1.1.5 (audio fix) and InspireMod 0.5 (Inspire branding). In Miui.us's dhd/inspire forum, there is now a great sticky with instructions for the proper process. ^_^
