Hi, I'm interested in flashing CM7 for my friend's HTC Inspire and was wondering what I should be aware of before pursuing this. My friend just got his phone today and I'm clueless to any new radios or kernels that might be out there before I get it. Also do you suggest not using it and perhaps another rom? I, myself, have owned a G1 since launch finding Cyanogenmod to be great still to this day on my Samsung Vibrant. Should I try the nightlys instead? Any bugs(battery life?) that might make want to stay clear? It says it's a stable rom but I haven't looked through any of the Cyanogenmod threads on the Inspire for issues.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
good questions
Cm7 is great. I'd stick with the stable unless he is pretty savvy or can carry you in his pocket.
I would go with 7.0.3 instead of using any of the nightlies. That ROM is very clean. If you want a non-AOSP ROM try LeeDroid (Gingerbread) or Dilligaf (Froyo).

sorry if there is an exact thread just like this, imagine there is but i wasnt able to find it. i just got my inspire today im familiar with android phones but i know the phone just came out so im wondering if someone can walk me through this, from what i understand ill need to root, flash the cyanogen7 rom then flash a kernel that will allow me to have sound. i was wondering which kernel i would need and what is the easiest root method currently available. thanks for the help guys!!
edit: there is no modified version of this with a different kernel that will allow us to flash the inspire kernel and make sound work??

i thought you could install any desire hd rom, there is a cyanogen7 rom for the hd right here. and just flash a kernel over it to get the audio working. or am i wrong?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917271
cyanogenmod has its own kernel that's made specifically for AOSP. A normal sense kernel will definitely not work for it. It is cool though, I flashed it for a few minutes and it's wayyyy quick with the 1.51ghz kernel they have on there, too bad we don't have source to get sound yet
Yeah just played around with it. Superfast. Love all the gingerbread stuff too. Tried fladhing those kernels the phone wont boot
bump, i see people posting modified versions of cm7 for dhd do they have different kernels that would allow the sound to work on our inspires?

Yes, yes they do.
Check out the android development section. There is a working kernel for sound on CM7 and I'm using it right now.

Ok, so it looks like the Miui ROM posted on the I9000/Vibrant forums that uses the Custom Bilboa1 CM7 Kernel works for the Captivate.
Here is the Link to Bilboa1's Kernel thread:

Link to I9000 Miui ROM Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
Follow the direction on the I9000 thread and substitute the CM7 captivate kernel in. Also it is noted that you have to flash the CM7 kernel right after flashing the beta 3.zip file (the zip file installs a I9000 kernel). Good luck hunting

there is already a miui port but from the fascinate. i would love to see a more functional; version though. just need someont to get the aosp kernel straitened out and reorient it. but that takes a lot of work.
Miui was being worked on and it was dropped. Have to ask master because he was the thread Creator for the captivate port as to why it was stopped. He is a vibrant dev.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine

it could be something as simple as one idiot making a flaming post, and master getting pissed off and quiting, but as far as i knew darkyy and DG were in on it too, and both of those are experienced on cappy. however, darkyy has his own rom to focus on and im sad to say it but it kinda looks like DG has moved to focus on his atrix. Not that i blame him, but i know that i will miss his work

MIUI was picked up by the french developer jblanc, and then tinkered some by another dev in i9000 land. It's basically the NS port of gingerbread miui jammed together with CM7 and bilboa's kernal for CM7 one. So we do need a reoriented kernel, as the one they are using is not the CM7 since it wouldn't boot properly. Please don't spam the thread with requests for ETAs like what happened to the old Miui thread.

I have been following that thread. It looks to be much further along than the last port. This one reads like it will end up being usable, once ported here. I am running cm7 and bilboa has a captivate version of his kernel. May have to give it a run when I can afford dealing with a soft brick
CM7
Wasn't asking for ETAl, just didn't know if anyone saw. Its not the port Master put out there it was the nexus S port the uses that custom CM7 kernel. It has some of the same problems as CM7 but its miui. Seriously this is an awareness thread no flame. We have a Bilboa Kernel for Captivate, is why I'm saying why it might be possible

I would not pay mind to those who enter threads just to criticize without reading or knowing what they are talking about.
If this works on the captivate it would have all of the same "bugs" as cm7 as it is using all the set up including a custom kernel built from cm7 source.
Reading the thread it its farther along than the last port as wifi, data, and calls work. It is also gingerbread where as the last port was 2.2.1.
CM7

Has anyone tried using it on the Captivate with Bilboa's kernel? I might have some time later today to try.
Ok I got it to boot following the instructions from the MIUI thread in the i9000 forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
All I did was subsitute the captivate equivalent files from CM7. I also had to flash a captivate modem from the CM7 section too. going to test it out now.
Ok FYI after you do these steps and Flash MIUI Beta 3 it will install a i9000 kernel and modem. You will have to go after the initial steps and install a captivate CM7 Kernel and Modem.
So you used bilboas captivate kernel after you flashed the beta 3 zip?
CM7

i went from sensation to g2x so I'm back here again but what is the best rom rite now? its been a long time so yea i don't know but you can you guys tell me
Cm7 to me does the job

I use CM7 as well, works great for me, but I really like ASOP and have used CM on my past 7 phones
First off, update the device with the LG Software Updater so you'll get the new baseband. Then you can flash any gingerbread ROM you'd like, and keep the new baseband.
From my experience I have tried xboarders 1.2.2, eaglesblood both 2.3.3 and 2.3.5, and of course CM7. They are all great roms. I have not used MIUI yet or any others but have heard good things about all of them. A Rom is really going to come down to personal preference. I am currently rockin CM7 and it is awesome! If you want to customize the look of your phone I would highly recommend giving CM7 a try. Remember, when installing CM7 to also install google gapps. That will allow you to link your google account to your phone. Try all the roms out. Once you have root it is super easy to flash whatever rom you want.
Hey Guys, I have a GS4 so please don't hate because I am asking questions and not trying for myself.
So my friend has a Blaze and he is looking to root his phone and flash a custom ROM. He is a borderline Android / Apple fan and I am trying to convince him to stick to Android.
So once I get him rooted I will be looking for a ROM/Kernel combo.. He needs everything to be working... Camera and everything else.
AOSP would be nice but from the ROM pages it looks like some of them have issues were he would flip out.
What is your best opinions on ROM/KERNEL combos to get his Blaze running smoother then stock without compromise?
Thanks!

Not trying to be rude, but you want to steer him away from an iPhone with a budget android phone that's 40% of the cost? If you really want him to like/love android and keep him away from the 'evil' fruit that grows on trees, he should spend the same amount of money on the phone and get a GS4 or One.
That statement aside, since you are 'stuck' with the Blaze (not necessarily a bad thing) you should go for this rom as it has the storage swap so there isn't any app/camera storage/other storage issues to run into. It's very stable and I ran it for about 3 weeks. Kernel is included.
Yeah you are 100% right.. he is stuck in a contract till November.
Thanks for the suggestion.
The most stable roms I have run are Beastmode's slim bean, and the latest cm10 nightly. Both on blue lightning kernel x2.
I've run both ParanoidAndroid and Liquidsmooth both with LightningZap 3.7 (though there was some inner folder work that had to be done) and both have been extremely stable for me. I also use Adrenalin injection and NOS_INJECTOR and my Blaze flys!

Yes, this will be your safest bet. Even though ParanoidAndroid was awesome, it was a bit buggy. I installed the latest CM10 nightly and the latest BlueLightning X2 kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39919819&postcount=42
Its been several days and I haven't seen a crash.

My wife wants me to root her phone and install a custom ROM that is issue free. She doesnt need the latest greatest but something super stable. I dont own an SG3, so I dont want to sit here and read forever just for one time. So any and all help is appreciated.

A stock based rom. Just so you know if you don't want to do the reading it takes to find a stable rom nobody will help you.
No I know. I have been around here for sometime now as you can see. But I was wondering if there was any hybrid ROMs out there what are somewhat updated, away from stock bases but still stable. There are ROMs out there that are stable that are well known across the board for the phone. Kinda the goto ROM
Also gotta check if ur wife has the 4.3 OTA. TW custom roms the most atable from wat i read. But if u want an AOSP type then i suggest a 4.3 type rom.. Thats saying if ur wife did not take the 4.3OTA

Well I would tell you to flash a stock based rom that has aosp theme and sounds because from my experience with any aosp rom is to unstable for my daily driver. But if your wife isn't as picky as me I think unofficial cyanogen mod 10.2 was stable.
My DD is/was liquidsmooth 2.37 or 2.10 both aosp 4.3 roms. From my experience
