Interest in Inspire AOSP?

I was wondering if any of you guys were interested in full AOSP build or if CM7 was good enough for all you. If so, would you guys like optimized or pure vanilla, or both? I have some time soon, so if there's enough interest I'll compile a build for all y'all.
So who wants it?

AOSP=Android Open Source.
I had to look that up

That would be awesome! Either way would be good

Just how far from aosp does cm7 deviate?

Hellz yes please!
I'll give either one a go.

I, for one, would be interested in a AOSP rom for our Inspires. There are somethings in CM7 that I could careless for, although I found ways around them. ex: Removing ADW launcher and replacing with stock GB launcher.

Alright guys, I'll start work tomorrow and keep everyone posted through this thread, so check back

Sounds great!
Out of curiosity, would this proposed ROM have your OC kernel and battery fix included?
Appreciate the work!

I'm going to make a pure stock vanilla and an optimized ROM, but the optimized would have it.

As in AOSP just as Google intends Android to be... made for the Inspire 4g hardware? Heck yeah!

That would be great. CM7 is awesome but AOSP would be cool. I take it this was said blank canvas?

Exactly I love getting into new things, and AOSP was next on my list. Unfortunately, high school and a tattooing apprenticeship take up a lot of my time, so the kernel went unsupported for a bit. It's going on the backburner, but it'll be re-cooked after I finish porting AOSP. I'm shooting for a fully working MIUI kernel too now that we have gingerbread 1.3.18, but AOSP takes precedence. plus cattleprod should probably be able to beat me to it. so I should be able to get started tomorrow night, or Monday morning at latest.

We talking Gingerbread? If so count me in

Let me know if you want help with this, this is something I've been looking into doing as well.

I've been waiting for a stock build of Gingerbread to be written for a while now! I hope this is made specifically for the Inspire 4G too... I'm tired of everything thinking I have a Desire HD. That noice-canceling mic means so much to me
Utilizing the source coding released by HTC, I assume?

Just an update: i started working on sunday. I made some progress but wubi dicked up my bootloader on my comp so i have to get back into it. I made a lot of headway though, so i'll let you guys know what's up later tonight

shoot- i didn't mean to post this in the main thread. How do I delete?

It would seem to me that the same script that disabled the bloatware in temp root would do the same for perm root and could be modified to remove rather than disable.

There is absolutely nothing "inconsiderate" about not wanting to use a Sense-based ROM. No matter what the other chefs do (unless they build from AOSP), their ROMs will be bloated with Sense trash, and some of us don't like that one bit.

Follow Keyan Mobli (Kmob), he works for Cyanogen. He is working on bringing CM7 to the Sensation. So he's not really porting it, he's designing it specifically for the Sensation.

I think patience is what we need to have right now. Yes CM7 is coming for us, that is a given based on the screen shots we have already seen from kmob. Also, now that we have S-Off, I would expect that more developers will start to bring us their AOSP Roms. At the least we will see kanged versions of CM7.

Not inconsiderate... just the FACT... (in my case) will not waste time on ANY Rom... that's correct... any problems? I know every single ROM out there... from mike's Revolution HD... LeeDroid, CoreDroid bla bladroid... and non of them offer the true potential you can get out of your hardware as CyanogenMod does. RomManager full compatibility, and even the Android Store is full of CM7 customizations... ADW is really robust and there is no HTC Sence on this Earth that can get even close to ADW's complexity. Well that's only my opinion after years of installing Roms since windows mobile 3/4... Remember, we are all here to post comments and help each other...

ROM Manager premium - any difference from free?

Hey guys,
First time poster, great site btw ;-)
Just upgraded ROM manager to premium after my first couple of times flashing ROM's has pretty much got me hooked now.
Strange thing is there are no premium ROM's. Is this norm for Desire S?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

Unlike many other phones which have hundreds (nay on thousands) of ROMs (some good, most not so good), the Desire S community seems to adopt the "I'd rather have a choice of about a dozen properly refined ROMs, some with Sense, some without" philosophy!
The crux is that we end up with a nice small selection of really well-built ROMs (compared to most other phones)... elliminating the hell of constantly tripping up on bugs found in many other ROMs.

Thanks for the speedy reply.
That makes sense in away, thanks for clearing it up some. More might make there way on it as time goes by.
I want to try out the cyan 7.1 but looks like ill have to try another way ;-)

IN which case you find this [INDEX][12 SEP 11] ROMS/RECOVERY/ROOT/HBOOT/RADIOS/etc of use.
Only LBC , Virtuous Unity and MIUI ROMS are in ROM manager.

Guy this question has been asked a thousand times with a thousand different answers. There is no top or stable ROM, they are ALL GREAT. Only what you feel best using and your needs of it. Try a few on for size and see what works for you and feels best for you. Coredroid for a stock look or absolution 3.7 for a no sense. But then these are my favorites but watch how many more responses you get till you get closed.

Look, I use my phone as a work phone (so I need an amount of stability), and I find aospx AR28 stable enough for a daily (that said, AR26 saw fewer freezes and reboots, food for though).
However, if you need camcorder, aospx (any ICS?) isn't for you.

Well lets start with congrats man on getting an Inspire. The Inspire community is awesome and there is a constant flow of great work being done by the amazing devs here. First, please search. I don't mean to come off as a jerk but it is part of the rules you agreed to when you signed up and literally if you searched "best rom" or "stable rom" you would most likely see what we have all been telling you and that is: There is no best stable ROM. Every ROM has its issues. What one person swears by another person won't. Only you know what you're willing to live with and live without. Try some ROMs out and see what works best. Here are my recommendations but they are by no means an all inclusive list of "best ROMs", just my personal preference.
Sense 3.5 = Bindroid
Basically stock = Cleardroid
AOSP/CM = Absolution
ICS = Redemption or Melchizedek

if i could stay on one rom long enough to find out if it's stable or not would be a great thing. stupid ROM A.D.D.

Don't forget cyanogen7.2 (newest release) for a wide variaty of customization.
Like others said before there are tons of roms in the developer section of the xda/inspire4g.
Welcome to the freedom of android. The best thing about rooting is the personalization. You can find just about any theme, os, app, or widget you can imagine.
Start with the ace hack kit, read the effin manual (that's what its called) do some reading on the available roms, download from the site or open up rom manager (if available) flash from rom manager.
Which ever rom you choose remember read the first post on the dev thread back and forth up and down. Once you do that...... read it again. All the important info you need for that rom is in the first post.
If you have questions on terms or what something is. Just Google said something followed by xda htc inspire 4g and you should find exactly what your looking for.
Good luck and welcome to the forum.

Sorry guys been under the weather for a few days. Still trying to kick it.
As stated none can tell you what rom will work best or be the most stable on your device and your set up. Even stock roms have bugs. It is just something you live with or dig in and try to fix when you own a smart phone.
Just pay attention to the OP of each thread and so the proper research and you will be fine.

Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

It's harder then you think....
First you got to find an HTC device with a similar (preferably same) chipset...which is rare since most htcs run qualacom hardware
A while back I did find a device with pretty much the same chipset that should be useable...gotta see if I still have its ruu (ruu is HTC official Rom release...actually stands for Rom update utility)
You then gotta extract the ruu contents (requires both windows and linux...)
Then you need to build the infuse kernel from source changing the bootclasspath in the init.rc and other stuff relating to sense instead of touchwiz
I'm not saying its impossible...and its still something I would like to do...but unfortuantly I just don't have the time to really do anything anymore due to school and work...and I recently got into league haha...so when I'm not working or at school I'm either with friends or playing league...but usually I'm at work or school. Oh yeah my infuse also got stolen...so no device to work with anymore (damn car fishers)
That's the basics...theres a few tutorials on how to port sense to no sense devices that can help you...just google how to port sense
Anyways, good luck...thus reply was mainly.to let you know what your in for and what kind of computer setup your gonna need (dual booting linux/windows)
Edit oh yeah...pretty sure the device I had found had an ics 4.0.4 stock Rom...at least for Iraq users...but English should still be an option in that Rom and if its not we can always add it in...anyways ill let you know later if I can find the ruu/device for you to work with
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Not to be mean, but I've got the hard part covered. There's a sense port for the captivate that rums on top of cm. I'm not saying that its going to be super simple, its also not going to be as hard as you described.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

I think were talking about similar but different things...
I think your talking about taking an sense Rom that's already been ported to a non sense device and then porting that port to us
I'm talking about taking an official HTC sense release, extracting the contents for a flashable zip and porting that
Regardless either way requires kernel work as the init.rc needs to be edited -which is an easy task for those who can work with source
Anyways, goodluck the more options the better...there will definitely be people wanting this as its unique for the infuse
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah, if I wouldn't have owned a captivate, I wouldn't know about all of this, and I wouldn't even attempt this. And yes, I'm talking about a port of a port. I'm by no means a dev, but I'm slowly learning, and I thank you for your help.
