(Q) Would flashing other DHD roms hurt?

I look at the DHD forums and see different roms that aren't in the inspire section. Now I'm running stock radio and currently running coredroid 3.1, would flashing a Rom like CM7 from DHD forums without issue? Or maybe even the villian (believe that is its name) without issue?

As far as I am aware, you cab flash anything that doesn't use a custom kernel, as dhd kernels kill sound on inspire. But there is a kernel for CWM7 floating here on inspire board

You can use most of the newer Desire HD kernels as the sound is enabled now because of HTC's updates. I made a kernel that overclocks CM7 to 1.8ghz if you wanna give it a go.

Yes indeed I will def use your kernel for CW7 THANKS . But I saw the Villain Rom over there,the incredible S port I believe. Would I flash the Rom but keep the lee or buzz kernel aside and flash on top of the Rom to assure audio and video configurations to still be in tact?

What things work for the Inspire 4G, from the Desire HD?

Id like to complie a list for what things work for the Inspire that were made for the DHD. They are the same phone, just different carriers. So what can you guys confirm? What stuff do you think works? Roms? Kernels? There is a oneclick tool that includes visionary in the DHD forum, and I wonder if it could work? Let me here what you guys think.

We're using DHD ROMs for the most part now, there are a few that were built off of the stock ROM, but for the most part all of the ROMs we're seeing are DHD ROMs. All of the radios we use come from the DHD Radios thread, Apache's kernel thread redirects you to his DHD kernels...so yes, these all seem to be interchangable. The exploit that was available in the DHD to one-click root is not available on the Inspire, which is why it's required to make a gold card so you can downgrade the ROM first.

Thaat makes sense about the rooting. But even if they aren't in this thread for roms and they are in the dhd, they still work?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

For the most part , yes. You might have to flash a compatible kernel and turbonix audio fix for some of the Roms. I think if you see in the rom's description that it is built from 1.84 base then it works without modification.

well all of the skins work. Ive tried about 10 different ones.

just about all cases, the official htc car dock for the dhd works for the inspire, screen protectors......

[Q] What is your favorite ROM as of today?

Been fine on stock TMO rom. However I do want to upgrade to 2.3.4 So I have been studying the ROM section here on forum for Sensation.
I want Sense and as close as stock as I can get. Been leaning towards REVOLUTION or InsertCoin ROms. However I have read some issues with Insert Coin.
Could you give me what your using and if its stable?
Thanks team!

LeeDroid is the best IMO

What kind of issues have u heard about with insertcoin? I installed this the other day and it works great! Would also like to know what the leeroid has over insertcoin cause i was thinking about that one as well
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Been using Insertcoin for the last few days, works great. No issues so far.

CoreDroid, all the 2.3.4 goodies along with one SEXY ass theme!

my signature

CoreDroid V4 (2.3.4) works well!

x 2 on CoreDroid. I've been using it without problems (other than the fact that autobrightness doesn't transition smoothly for me), and I haven't read of anyone else having that problem. Overall very fast and good looking rom.

InsertCoin v2.1. I'll eventually upgrade to 2.2.1 or whatever the current release is soon. The stock kernal flies. I haven't given the custom kernal a go yet.

Senseless 1.3 =] Great rom with a great gingerbread theme.. Hopefully upgraded to 2.3.4 soon!

As soon as most of us switched to S-Off, I was heistant on flashing since most ROMS as already mentioned were unstable with very few options for T-Mo USA users.
However after messing around with a few stock rooted roms, I jumped on InsertCoin and have not looked back. Some hiccups in the begining, but stable overall. Great ROM.

Did you switch to the recommended radio for insertcoin as well? I really want to try insertcoin but am afraid of flashing radios, and CoreDroid has just happened to work fine with stock tmous radio, so it's a great solution as of now.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

coredroid try it if u haven't yet what u have to lose

Using latest MDJ Virtous rom. He knows what he's doing.

Insert Coin far and away the fastest imo.

i don't have htc sensation but what about Android Revolution HD ROM ???

I first check RevolutionHD, but didn't find it much better than the stock rom, so I changed to Leedroid and with the brand new 2.3.4 inside I definitely love it.
Maybe will have a look on Insert Coin in the future ase many here are favoring it.

Mods

Is there any mods I can install on my phone, s off, rooted. Or do I need to flash certain ROM inorder to install mods like beats.

Hi,
The thing is to flash mods using the same base as your ROM.
If you check my sig , I have battery mods for ARHD base 2.3.4 and 2.3.5
Check with your ROM'S dev,to see which base you are using,and then flash the appropriate mod.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL A MOD
For beats I installed THIS MOD ,because I am on base 2.3.5 using Sense 3.5
Or you could install ARDH 3.6.3 XE which contains beats anyway.

I'm still on stock tmobile us rom, I just came from arhd with no luck so I restored my phone to factory stock then s off and rooted.

You can install anything you want, you just have to know what it is you want to do. Lets say you want to have beats audio (using the previous posters example). You know you have a stock ROM, version 2.3.4 most likely, so just find a beats audio only mod for 2.3.4 bases running Sense 3.0.
Or, as the previous poser says, you can install a whole ROM that already includes it. ARHD basically simulates a Sensation XE by removing the under-clocking on the CPU thats there stock bringing it up to 1.5 Ghz, adding beats audio, and overall just smoothing out the ROM. It looks the same as the stock ROM, it just works better.
The best thing to do is just make a backup of how it is now through recovery, then try stuff out and see what you like. You can always restore your backup and it will be right back to how it was before you did anything.

EDIT: Saw you came from ARHD. Sorry to hear about the bad luck. But yes, you can install mods without a full ROM.

Yeah I did tried 3 of the most recent arhd Rom, it is smooth and fast but has too many glitches on my phone. I tried installing the recommended radio it does fixed my signal issue, but after 3 days of using my phone keeps goin on a black screen when somebody calls me or text me so I decided to revert to stock

Interesting. Did you try turning the CPU back down to 1.2 GHz? I have ran 3.6.1 and only had one reboot before I switched to the beta kernel, never had any issues with 3.6.2 which came with the same kernel I upgraded to with 3.6.1, but I switched to bricked 0.91 kernel and its even better. Tried 3.6.3 and had a bunch of FC problems and issues so I restored back to 3.6.2.
Basically they all have worked well for me, but I've read of some people needing to stay at 1.2 GHz because of problems you have described.

I haven't tried restoring to 1.2ghz , I just restored my phone back to stock I got tired of trying all the versions and seems all of the versions I flashed had issues on my phone, don't get me wrong but I do love the speed and smoothness of arhd its just those fcs, unstable signal and not to mention the black screen issue. But like you said I haven't tried using different kernel I just used the one that came with the Rom and the other faux kernel that one of xda member suggested the beta 10. I even tried the insertcoin 3.3.9 and same issue with signal. I'm on tmobile carrier I don't know if that causes the signal issue with most of the Rom I flashed.

Well, I'm on T-Mobile also and have had no issues, thats strange. Did you flash the recommended radio also? Maybe you need to try a different one if so.
I really like the Bricked kernel, it runs faster/smoother and the battery life is better than the Faux kernels I used - at least what I've seen so far. I run Sense 3.0 so Im limited to Bricked 0.91, but its still plenty good from what I've seen. He is developing more for Sense 3.5 kernels at this point I think.
Anyway, if it was me, I would try one of the ARHD ROMs with a bricked kernel (the kernel can also affect your reception I believe). If you still have issues, try clocking it back to 1.2 Ghz. I too ran IC for a little while, but finally just settled back to ARHD for a few reasons.

Currently running ARHD 3.6.2 with bricked 0.91 kernel at 1.5 GHz and the mods in my sig with whatever the recommended radio is in the ARHD thread. I have no issues and use it quite a bit every day. I might give 3.6.4 a shot though.

Hi,
Have you tried a custom ROM with the original radio?
I know it won't be matched,but sometimes it's a needs must situation.
Use the radio that will give you the BEST signal.
It might just be that it's the only one that will work properly in YOUR area.

So,what combination of ROM and radio was the best for signal?
And with your current set-up,do you ALWAYS have bad signals?
Or does it vary from area to area?

New To Sensation Development So...

Hey guys I just picked myself up a Sensation 4G (Not new to Android Dev.) so I was thinking about creating,my own custom rom but wasn't sure what the Sensation guys like in their roms. I came from the Huawei u8150 were getting CM9 to run without a gpu was a move from the lord. So far I have tried Stock, Insert Coin, and Android Revolution roms all were great but I like a little cyanogenmod in my life. Would you guys like a new CM9 build crossed with a few tweaks of mean and fixes I find. Is so vote for it. Also reply with what you, look for in a rom.

C'Mon Guys I need feedback
At least vote, i would prefer comments but 1 peanut is better than no peanuts

A CM9 ROM will be awesome. Are you going to try to get it working by yourself? You could get together with the open sensation project guys and make more progress that way. Just a thought

Welcome to the Sensation boards, and thanks for asking for input. I'm not a sense hater by any means, but I ALWAYS go back to AOSP roms. CM9 and Open Sensation are compiled nicely, but for some reason make my phone heat.
So, any build compiled from source would be welcomed. Each phone is different, hopefully your build keeps mah phone cool.

AOSP ROM with a Sense Camera would be loved by many, I am sure.

Yea I thought about speaking to them about it but I figured since I am newer to the phone I could try to mess with it a little myself before I go messing with other peoples work.

There seems to be a good number of sense roms and cm9 roms out there... why not try something kinda out there?
like a port of an xperia rom (I think Xperia S has the same chipset) or samsung's? (I know there's an xperia-ish rom out there but i think it's just aokp with xperia mods and I think that Sony's UIX is pretty good and not bloaty).
just thinking out there... porting something like that might be too much.

i have already begun working on rom but i'll keep it in mind. thanks for the idea
