Desire HD ROMs

I've found that you can flash some Desire HD ROMs to the inspire if you flash a compatible kernel over top of it.
I'm currently running Android Revolution HD on my Inspire (so far the only one I've tried, I haven't had any issues yet).
Here are the steps I used to do this:
- Copy ROM and Kernel to SDCard
- reboot into recovery
- Make a nandroid backup from Clockwork Recovery (I always make a backup just in case I need to go back)
- wipe data/cache in Clockwork
- flash ROM from Clockwork
- flash kernel from Clockwork
I used a Telus Desire HD kernel I found on the forums (same as Inspire) Sound and everything works.
I'll also attach the kernel I used for everyone to try it out.
Please report and other ROMs you have success or failure with so everyone can know what works.
EDIT: This isn't really needed anymore since the new source and kernels coming out support the Inspire. Just find a ROM that has the 1.72 kernel source and flash it, it should work as is.
I'm using Revolution HD that mike1986. posted in this this forum with no issues.

does CM7 work? I am scared to mess until I get an easy way to revert to stock like odin back to stock on the captivate. If someone knows an easy fail safe measure like the download mode on the captivate I would love to know then i will try anything!

I love you <3 lmao

CM7?
........

I just flashed CM7 and the telus kernel, I got stuck on HTC white screen..hmm!!

Tony710 - genius move, buddy. I have had my goldcard ready, but have been waiting for this ROM to become available ( heard this is so much faster and more power efficient than stock).
Needless to say, i'll be rooting and flashing this tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Not cyanogen. Goto HTC Desire HD Development forum, and grab the Android Revolution ROM.

Flashed leedroid v.2 with the telus rom and it works just fine. kinda wish i had the leedroid rom because it had a %20 vol increase. but i now have a 1.22ghz OC!!!!! Can anyone make a increased volume kernel. i've noticed that ours is blocked to 73% of the maxium

HTC Inspire...check
ROOT...check
CWM...check
Flashing custom rom on a phone released 3 days ago...Priceless!!!

Desire HD Themes and Inspire

What themes from the Desire HD work for the Inspire or what should I look for in a theme to make sure it works?

all themes should be fine. Unless a theme is for a specific rom. just remember you can't flash a theme over a rooted ATT stock rom unless it has been deodexed

When I asked this, it was before all the Desire HD Roms came in the Inspire sectiion. I already flashed the Revolution Rom and now deciding which Theme.

What does deodexed mean?

quick and dirty odex explanation http://www.forceclose.com/questions/2307/what-are-odex-files
in short, a rom in order to be themed has to have these odex files removed and their contents packaged back into the apk file.
if you try to theme an Odexed rom I don't think it will even boot.

so i rooted my inspire but decided i dont really want to put a different rom on because of the sound issues i see going on..that means i cant use any metamorph themes?

Correct. Themes will only work on a de-odexed ROM

I am pretty sure they resolved most of the sound issuse. Android revolution has great sound in my experience with it. It even appeared to sound louder then stock.

if you mean any custom roms that are based of the tmous stock rom? then not yet.
if you have a custom rom on and need to flash to original you can always do a nandroid restore of that rom
if you need the RUU for whatever reason get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559 the latest tmous is the 8th one down

what rom did you flash that this occured?
i havent flashed any roms yet since im waiting to see if there is one created based on the sensation4g stock rom. plus the stock with no bloat has been wonderful for me so far.
i'm gonna wait another week as the devs should have their roms/kernels updated a few times with bug fixes then im gonna try and flash then.

best bet is to ruu back to stock with the link posted above. gives you stock tmo rom with the original bootloader only s-off. from there you can root and run stock rooted and debloat yourself.

I'm about to get the sensation. Is the stock rom pretty good with a simple debloat?

[Theme]Touch of ICS for Stock 2.3.4

This is ONLY for the official stock 2.3.4 LG ROM that introduced the new March 2012 baseband!!
I repeat, DO NOT FLASH ON ANYTHING ELSE.
Ok so since my real first porting of a theme (which was a little of a disaster in my opinion...) I've gotten a lot better/smarter.
This port is probably going to be the final. There's honestly nothing wrong with it so far that I can tell.
I might change the drop down menu background to something else maybe. For some reason, even if you use a transparent image... it still isn't transparent for me.
I just kind of grabbed some random image for the background and used it... it was supposed to repeat itself and just kind of scaled... and doesn't look too bad in my opinion.
How to install:
Download the attachment to SD card
Boot into CWM
(Optional) Create a backup in case of boot loop
Flash the zip
Reboot device
There is no need to wipe cache or dalvik or any of that nonsense. I NEVER do, but you can if you're paranoid enough.
Known Issues:
None.
Notes:
I disabled the overscroll glow. I just personally do not like it and it tends to make the device lag when it appears.
I didn't do any .xml changes so no colors should be ugly on certain other windows/frames.
The font in my screenshots will NOT be applied to your phone; that is the font I use and it is not included in the theme.
SOLUTION IF YOUR PHONE BOOT LOOPS
If your phone bootloops it means you dirty flashed 2.3.4 onto your device which means you were on 2.3.3, then you upgraded to 2.3.4 via LG Update tool, and then tried to flash this theme.
So what you have to do (and SHOULD do anyway) is download the rooted 2.3.4 stock ROM (thanks to kwes) and do a fresh install of it (wipe data/factory reset and format /system) then this theme will work 100%.
MD5 Sums of files:
Regular Touch of ICS = b355978ec1b9d026d0d78e5b1e1509d6
Circular Battery Mod = 26a780245165b7eab30bb47cf356c0a9
CM7 Battery Mod = ad727e7b4180b4a9aaec27d2a5cbd615
------------------------------
Big thanks to kwes and Core Memory... you all should already know why by now.
Enjoy!

Looks awesome, I'll be applying this to my wife's phone later today. You state 2.3.4 but will this cause problems with 2.3.7 base roms?

Pretty good i must say. Is it possible to include ICS like notification toggles in the theme as well?
Thanks

very nice looking theme. will be flashing.

I don't consider myself a themer, and especially not a developer. You have to ask a real developer to edit stuff to get those things.

Which ROM are you running? This is ONLY for the stock official LG 2.3.4 firmware.
It will not work on any ROM other than the official.
I have also updated the OP to verify and hopefully make it more clear.

I don't know what could have gone wrong. Nothing is wrong with my .zip. No one else is having problems nor getting any bootloops.
It's possible you got a bad download of the file. Try re-downloading it again and flashing.
Wonder who rated this thread 2 stars :/??

OP has been updated with 2 different batteries: the circular battery by request, and the CM7 battery with the number and little bar on the right side of it.

Hey man i've loved it, can you add the CRT on and off animation, please? I want it cus the stock one when you press the button to turn screen on shows the previous screen that I was before and then go to lock screen(very fast), know what i'm saying? That's annoying, thanks for the theme!!

Thank you and yeah I know what you mean.
I've stated before that I'm not a developer, nor am I a themer; I just simply port over stuff.
I would love to have the screen off animation, and quick toggles as seen in weapon and bionix, but I don't even know the beginning stuff. I'd have to do a lot, lot of reading and experimenting... which I may do one day but work keeps me pretty busy.
By the time I learn anything worthwhile I'm sure a developer would have already made a custom ROM out of this and did all that stuff .
Believe me, I want all that neat stuff too.

Yeeeeah, I've stopped using ics roms because of little things like that, I love when the rom works smooth and fast, it would be awesome if any developer did the crt on and off animation work here, I'm missing the toggles too

[Q] Screen off TV animation

I am currently looking for a mod that changes the animation when you turn off the screen, specifically the TV's style (like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lv1p4TvRw4).
Does anyone know where it can be found?
Thanks a ton.

What ROM are you running? Most ICS aosp and aokp ROMs have that animation

ive been using ViperS 1.1.0 for about a month in my Sensation 4G.
the ROM is OK, the battery life is OK, the performance is OK
credit to Venom team for developing this awesome ROM.
the animation isnt included in the ROM though.
but you will get 'Sweep2Wake' a feature from Bricked kernel which coming with this ROM.
google it, youll love it

It's available only on AOSP ROMs. HTC modified their frameworks that break the animation on ics based ROMs. It's not possible to get it running.

I second this recommendation. You can set it to activate with a lobg press of the search key to save your buttons and put tge phone to sleep.
And its got a variety of animations to choose from, including crt off.

Thanks for reply guys. Probably I'll wait for a stable JB aosp rom so I can get it working. ViperS is an awesome ROM though.
Btw, I tried Screen off and lock app before but it does not allow you to set it activate with power button (I don't like software button) so ...

Correction - HTC modified their libs to break it.
And P.S this should be in the Q&A section not themes and apps

Try AnimMod

One more question: If I was on aosp ROM, where could I find the mod? (flashable preferred). I tried those apps before but I like it to have it activated with power button.
I'm planning on flashing some senseless rom, sense UI doesnt suit me.
