ARG!! how OCD can I possibly be - HTC Inspire 4G

So, I'm loving CoreDroid, but it bothers me that it says DesireHD in the Phone info screen. I found the instructions to change it (and made the change in my coredroid zip file), but do I really want to set my phone up for a second time today just to change one entry?
In reflection, I think I will just check this particular entry in all future ROMS

Since it is the same rom and version, you should be able to flash right over top of it with out a full wipe.

Don't quote me, but it should work just fine actually what you could do is just delete everything and reflash the files you want to replace, this is how a theme is flashed.

So put the .xml file I need replaced in a zip in the proper folder structure, delete the file from the phone, boot into recovery and flash my zip?
I'll def be making a nandroid first, but thank you so much!
Speaking of nandroid. Does a nandroid capture EVERYTHING (apps, app data, call logs, etc) or just system state?

well what I would do (like you said) place the xml in the correct file structure, and then just delete anything else inside the zip that doesn't need to be flashed.
you shouldn't even have to delete it from the phone.
yes everything on the rom partition.

Last time I flashed his it didn't contain the xml file. Has he updated it since then?

See, after all my searching I didn't find that. I'll look it up and run it (after peeking in it to see if I was right)

It also replaced my coredroid boot animation.
And it didn't fix the Model number in phone identity.
GRRR!
I did read elsewhere that this has to be fixed before the initial flash.
Oh well, next time I flash a Rom I'll make sure to change it.

Yeah. I just looked at the default.xml file and it was flashed properly.
Like i said in my edit, I did read that this has to be changed prior to the first flash to take.
Also, I'm kind of digging the Leedroid boot animation, and it fits nicely with the CoreDroid theme.

Just Rooted... now CM7?

Hey guys I finally just rooted my Inspire. Can I flash CM7 and use the Telus kernel to get sound back? Thanks to all, sorry if this is a noob question
Nope. No CM7 or MIUI until source is released. Neither will work without an AOSP kernel, for which source code is required.

The great thing is once we get source it shouldn't be an issue at all, and by that time cm7 may be past RC stage and into final!

Is anyone over here using 4EXTRecovery?

I've been rocking it this evening and it's pretty cool. It is particularly refreshing not to have to jump through hoops when restoring an EXT4 file system that gets downgraded with CWM by default to EXT3. Props to the dev of this. This is great work.
I'm rocking 4EXT right now. Very convenient. Ask the features of CWM with the added benefits of everything else

I did that to my ROM that was supposed to be EXT4 but was using a Nandroid so it was "downgraded" to EXT3. Didn't have any issues at all, but the ROM I'm running is supposed to be EXT4. Check your ROM dev's stats and see what file system the cache is supposed to be is one suggestion.
Converted cache fine on ninja 0716

You're welcome. I was just over in the Desire threads poking sticks in the bushes and ran across this. I've been flashing stuff...just so I can use it . No errors at all for me, and reformatting my partitions to the file systems they should be is a snap.
I just installed it a little bit ago. I've only been rooted for a few days and don't 100% know what I'm doing yet, but it installed without a hitch and seems cool. I'm trying to change the theme on mine, but it's not working exactly as planned.
Just install the zip file through recovery and depending on which version you are using you will either have to reboot the phone back into recovery to see the changes or if you are on 2.11b it will reboot for you.

I think any version will reboot its self as long as the person who made the theme set it up.to do so.

Yeah just download the theme to your SD card, do not unzip. Boot into recovery and then select instal from SD card, find file and click yes. It will reboot back into recovery and then your good to go!

[Q] How can I boot multiple roms?

Hi, I want to know how to boot more than one rom using Boot Manager... i've tried to do it numerous times but each time I just get frozen on my carrier logo on reboot. What partitions do i need setup? I'm a bit of a noob so if it's really complicated can you simplify it. Thanks in advance.
Dude, I made a thread on this - did you need to make another one?

Are you sure?
Boot manager app has given official support for our device. And I have seen proof of it working - on youtube on a Desire S booting CM7 & MIUI.
Also bootmanager cleverly overrights the kernel with the new boot.IMG each time you flash.

Super Fast charge kernel

Hi guys, I am using vipertouch but its really slow at charging. So I was wondering if anyone knows or has a kernel which boost charging time.
Or if there is an app that can help, I would be happy to know abt it.
