Dual boot Desire HD/Inspire finally! - HTC Inspire 4G

I know some people have asked in the past about dual booting roms on the Inspire and was wondering if anyone had tried this yet. I just read it about it on the homepage of xda. I might try this later and finally test out CM7 or MIUI.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173309

Pretty cool! Personally I don't really have any use for it right now but I'm sure some people will put it to good use. It would be cool if they made a way to be able to use two different kernels though.

I personally don't have a need for it on a phone
Dual booting Windows / Linux, now that's another story.

finally! i remember posting a question on this a while back. and now, its here!!!!

Sweet have been waiting for this for a while! Now I can run MIUI and Virtuous Unity

There's a catch. If you want to run a sense and an aosp , then you have to run a sense kernel on VU and miui. And that could cause problems

This...especially if want to rock one Sense and one no Sense.

This is useless to me since you can't use different kernels, props for the dev's tho.... Unless i want one Leedroid for daily and one virtuous for showoff time.. man i was i could rock cm7 and dualboot sense for the camera, etc...

that is pretty cool, have to check it out when i get home.

I can boot AOSP ROMs and sense ROMs . Nandroid backups .
I already said that....Dohh.

Pretty cool but not really something revolutionary.
Props to the Dev though!

I am gonna close this now as there is a thread in Dev. Great work Dev. Hope others can find use for it.

[REQUEST] 1.80 Inspire based ROM

AFAIK, the 1.7x based and 1.84 ROMs aren't the stock AT&T ROM for the US Inspire 4G. The 1.80 ROM is the stock AT&T ROM for the US. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Can someone cook up a US AT&T stock-based ROM with working GPS, Wi-Fi, tethering, HSUPA, Sideloading, and a nice performance boost via overclocking? Android Rev runs off of the 1.72 ROM, and Coredroid runs off of 1.84 which aren't based on the stock AT&T ROM and this cause audio issues. Though there is an ongoing effort to fix the audio for the Inspire 4G running these ROMs, wouldn't it be easier to just base a ROM on the 1.80 AT&T ROM and mod it to what we want?
It would be awesome if mike could cook based on the stock Rom for inspire.

Nice! I went through both root processes....yours and att1's to get used to them. I feel pretty confident in my abilities now to mess with it all. I would have loved to see your ROM with OC added - maybe 1.2GHz and 1.5 or 1.6GHz builds.
But don't take on too much at once man, you don't want to overload yourself. Set a pace and stick to it.
Maybe I will do it

Moved to general as not android development
Hey bubby I love the work you've been doing for the inspire. All of it is much appreciated by this community. I came over from a captivate and was worried about the dev situation for the inspire. As you don't have your own inspire is love to help test anything you come up. Shoot me a PM if you ever need a tester. I'm not too worried about bricking my device lol
That would be nice. I've been using stock rooted rom because of this. With stock rooted I have no issues. I just removed the bloat myself with root explorer. A custom 1.80 based rom would be nice.

Best ROM

I'm new to inspire roms. I have rooted my phone with bubbys one click root and I was wondering what the best rom was? Also how do you even flash a rom?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
There honestly isn't a best rom. Every one has their own preference, you will just have to flash them and see which one you like the most.
There is a sticky at the top of this section [guide] check it out.
The one with the bigger gb's
Theres alot of sense ROM and alot of nonsense ROM. Try cm7. IM using that one and its wonderful. To flash you copy the zip file to the root of your sd. Dont extract it. Open up ROM manager and click install from SD. I think it says that. Then check wipe data and it will install and reboot

Xaviier didn't really tell u how. Do a nandroid using rom manager. And I switch between two roms as of now. Coredroid and miui. Coredroid gives a great themed version of gb 2.3.3 (gingerbread) layered with the sense ui. Now I like the stripped rom miui due to pure beauty and interface avaliability. Not di11 and Lee I'm not dissing y'all,yalls roms are next. I simply use a rom and a few updates and allow it to settle in,then switch. I plan to use every rom to experiment speed tests,ui speed,etc. Its up to u to decide which to stick with. Imo flash a rom,fix the settings and customize any way u want. Then do a nandroid (back up using rom manager) and flash another. If a bad flash happens or u don't like the next rom,just restore. Who knows u may love more than 1

Thanks for posting that I didnt have time. +1
Try Ingersoll!
IknowIknow...that's like my goto answer...why not...its my goto ROM.
But seriously...if you want speed, quick response and stability...I recommend Ingersoll or dilligaf's sense ROM...both of those ROMs light up my phone.
It depends what you want in a ROM:
If you like Sense and you want to overclock, then I would go for di11igaf's ROM.
If overclocking is not important, I would go with RCMixHD 5.9 (the gingerbread version).
If Sense is not for you but you're interested in an iPhone(ish) kind of feel or you want to be able easily choose from a heap of themes then give MIUI a try.
If you're after a vanilla android flavour, go for CM7.
I generally go back and forth between RCMixHD and MIUI although I'm trying out CM7 to see what kind of battery life I can get (going camping this weekend).

I can't deicde if I need sense, so I keep flipping between inspired saga and cm7. Currently on cm7. Battery kills, speed kilks. Although the keyboard is small, it flies.

Use SlideIt. Its very good I recommend it
If you don't need Sense, at least try MIUI, if for nothing else than to know what it's like. I've done a lot of the rest, came back to MIUI because it's so damn smooth and crazy fast. It's really outside the rest of the group, but it's CM7 based. Granted, it looks a lot like the iphone at first, but if you add a launcher it's more like you are used to.
That said, if I wasn't using MIUI I'd be using dilligafs, it's pretty slick. Haven't tried coredroid yet.

I meant that even though the keyboard looks small, it is super fast and super accurate. It reminds me of typing on an iPhone 4 which is IMO one of the best touch keyboards in the market.
I also really like the ability to alter the long press duration. I know a lot of keyboards have this feature, but it is really important to me. It makes entering passwords much easier. Currently have mine set to 175ms so I barely have to stop to enter a number.

hmmm I guess sense isn't common between inspire 4g users XD.
Thank you all so much! I guess I'll give cm7 a try. THANKS AGAIN!

Don't mind at all. In the post I even mention that I may not be able to keep it up to date, so I'm totally cool with anyone else updating it, making changes, mods or whatever.. as long as I can find links to it just in case I wanna put a modified one on my phone.
I think I might stick with this instead of going the route of modified ROMs (MIUI ports) until those builds get official. The phone works SO much better with a modified Sense build.
I want to try to modify the MIUI Launcher to have a 5x4 layout, but I can't remember how to compile the apk after you modify it. It's been a while, so I can't really remember all the steps for using apktool on a Mac. Whenever I go to install it, the app doesn't install so I'm doing *something* wrong.
We need more support for these ROMs for the Sensation

Keep an eye out for xboarder56. He's building miui for sensation. He's.also working on pure aosp for sensation as well. His hybrid cm7/aosp is great. I liked it better than straight cm7.
Is xboaders miui real and not a rip? And there is a miui rom out here
Sent from my TripNMiUI Pyramid using xda premium
There is an actual miui rom on the miui site but trips from modaco is the best. I might try doing a sense based rom with this launcher instead of sense but I'm a noob and have never cooked one up before but I could always try
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
The one on miui site is trips rom. Ha. They ripped it.
Sent from my TripNMiUI Pyramid using xda premium
xboarder's been on a trip since getting in drama with cm7 team. He's trying to build everything from scratch now. Not 100% sure about MIUI being scratch or not. I didn't really look into it too much. But from what I saw on G+ it looks legit i think.

[MOD] Extended Quick Settings

So this seems to be the standard of all standard mods for Sense 3 so I thought I'd port it first and post it for everyone to use.
Requirements
rooted
using a DEODEXED ROM
must know how to use ADB or have CWM installed
I used Paul's deodexed stock ROM to build this from.
Had my buddy jface test it out and it seems to be working, here's a screenie he sent me back
Installation
You can either flash the attached zip (untested, someone test it for me!), or push the attached SystemUI.apk to /system/app/SystemUI.apk.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP! Just do it. Always. It's so much easier than having to recover from a bad flash or something.
good look bro you beat me to it hahaha thanks man!!
Nice. Trying this out now. Now I can get rid of my profile widget lol.

can this be merged with UOT? that mod themes the battery and also patches SystemUI.apk.
So only 1 sticks .
The flashable zip does not work for me.

Has anyone tested to see if this works on Sense 2.1 Gingerbread ROMS?
Sadly I'm still rocking an HTC HD2 and I'm running 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1.
I don't mind being a guinea pig after a nandroid backup but I just figured I'd ask if anyone tried it yet first.
It won't work. You will get a systemui fatal error and a force close loop.

Good to know. Does anyone here in this thread know how I can apply these same changes to my current systemui.apk?
I really like the Extended QuickSettings but I'm not too interested in running a Sense 3.0 ROM on a less than capable device like the HD2.

From the code I've looked at on Sense 3 ROMs, they typically define whether something is Sense 3 or 2 compatible. So in a real-world example when you're looking at Rosie it has two completely different implementations between 2.1 and 3 and they're both there in the code base. There was no such distinction with quick settings
Dumb ranting aside, I don't see a reason why it won't work on a Sense 2.1 device running Gingerbread. Shoot me over your SystemUI.apk and I might be able to port it. No promises, blind developing sucks

Never asked for a promise. The fact that you're willing to give it a shot, even though you don't have the same device as me is MORE than enough for me.
Here's my SystemUI.apk. Just did a nandroid backup so I'm more than happy to go flash happy right about now lol.

So, I think it IS possible, but it would take quite some time to go through and merge all the changes and match up all the IDs. I don't have the time or patience to do this as it takes a long time to communicate back and fourth for one single change, or error, etc etc.
Maybe an experienced smali hacker from the HD2 can port it over?
Sorry man

No worries. Like I said, I thought it was cool and figured it would be nice to have. I never expected you to spend a ton of time porting it over. Figured if the current one worked for Sense 2.1 then I'd try it. If not, maybe some other time. The fact that you even took a look at it was good enough for me.
Thanks again man.

[ONLINE KITCHEN] 13 Sep Gr1 - MoDaCo Custom ROM for the MT4GS - FREE Kitchen

I am currently testing a FREE Online Kitchen for my Gr1 ROM for the HTC Doubleshot / MyTouch 4G Slide (details of which can be found here).
The kitchen can be found in this topic. Please use this post for Online Kitchen related feedback and the main MCR post for ROM feedback.
Please note that this is very much in the testing phase at present, so no warranties are made as to it's performance and it may be offline periodically for changes.
Cheers!

It's nice that it's free. I was disappointed to see that I had to pay initially, but I understand why. ~$14/year (USD) isn't bad for having those features, but I would probably only use it once.
Thanks Paul!
Anyone try this? Seems to not boot after flashing (flashing core first, then optional pack second). ADB Logcat shows the kernel boots just fine, but it looks like the initrd isn't being executed. Haven't bothered to flash a different boot.img since I'm lazy, but I will wait for Paul to email me back before I try anything.

I believe that contains the set of choices that you made for your ROM in the kitchen, to be flashed after flashing the core of the ROM.
Oh - I thought it was one flash? His stuff isn't usually like that?
