Hi there,
I'm very new to Android and the rooting procedure. Basically, I switched from an iPhone to an HTC Inspire 4G after 4 years.
I'm going to try and root my phone tonight, and also unlock it and put HTC Sense 3.0 on it, but one thing I have been unable to find is a stable ROM for Android 2.3 that is as close to the stock version as possible. It may be right under my nose, but I haven't had any luck. If anyone could provide a download link, or a URL that points to where I could find one, that would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
Best one for HTC sense 3 is CoreDroid. My opinion.

It might be best for you to not jump right into rooting your phone. Spend some time seeing how your phone works out of the box and what you might want to change. During that time spend time on this forum just reading and gathering knowledge. The more you read, the more answers you will already have.
Just my suggestion.

I really like the new sense 3.0 functions that are ported on the coredroid 6.5. P.S. It might be better to root before you get all your apps setup and installed like I did. Then I had no way of backing up since I had no root access and had to setup everything from scratch again.
Thanks for all the help guys.
darkside, I've actually had to phone for about a month now. Funny you mention using it and seeing what I'd want to change, cause one of the first things I did after a week of usage was make a small list of just those things haha.
In addition to unlocking the Inspire, and putting Sense 3.0 and 2.3 on it, the only other thing I really want to do is get all of that annoying AT&T bloatware off. That, and find something that can fix the battery life. I have no idea how to do either, so I think I will take everyone's advice and do some more reading before attempting this.
I'm using MIUI and its doing excellent for me.

Excellent advice.
You really, really, really should have a baseline by which to judge subsequent roms you flash.
Otherwise, you'll never have a full sense of what's working better or worse than something else.

Are you using the MIUI Rom here in the US on AT&T....and do you have any problems with apps in the app market? I want to find a decent GB rom but it seems like most are geared more toward the UK.
For example I'm using ClearDroid, I do a search in the market for the "Xfinity TV" app. It shows right up...I jump on LeeDroids rom, and no "Xfinity TV" app to be found.....And thats with installing Morelocale2 before setting up my google account. Obvioiusly I could care less about the app....it just makes me wonder what other apps are hidden from my view.

get that, and lay seo's sense 3.0 stuff on top = orgasmic

Well, finally rooted my Inspire and settled on the RCMix3D ROM for HTC Sense 3.0 and Gingerbread. Thanks everyone!
Hey guys and gals, I'd like to get an idea for how much interest we have in buying a few infuse devices for some of the Cyananogen team and/or the Miui team.
I first want to understand how many people would be interested in this and thereafter i will reach out to some people to talk to Koush and company. You don't have to donate now just pledge a donation for a specific ROM.
The thought behind this is that if we can get either of these two teams or both of them a device the may not have considered once they spend time with such a beautiful device they will be more interested in development for ths phone sooner.
If we dont get enough interest in donations we'll just have to wait on a few devs to mosey on over here. Your choice!
here is an example where this worked well

There's a video tour at CyanogenMod's website that you can scope out here.
More info about MIUI can be located here.
As a new Infuse owner I really hope we can get some development going asap! I would def be up to donating if thats what it takes to get development started!!!

I didn't know MIUI = iphone
no matter it' sense, touchwiz, or motoblur, I always replace it with launcherpro.
I just love the MIUI phone dialer and power menu that has all the shortcuts I needed.

im going down for $10 on cm7 or cm8 if ice-cream comes out. not that i'd even use it. the way i see it is that miui exists on the galaxy s using a cm kernel.the sgs miui will likely flash on this once we have a aosp kernel. miui could also be ported onto our base rom like it started for the fascinate but it is not as clean that way and means you will be behind the curve on os version. if we are gonna get a totaly custom non samsung rom it makes most sence to build it off the newest nexus sources so i think cm is the clear winner
$60 for CM7

I'm getting this phone tomorrow and would definitely donate a few dollars for Cyanogenmod.
Loved cm7 on the captivate and inspire. Put me down for $ 10 for cm 7.
Couldn't care less about miui though.

this is already done it is the same as the captivate and is cake! just need root. you can delete or freaze tethermanager and the phone lets you use ap mode. i have it all over the tether thread but it's like people read the title and decide to put in their $.02 and not read the replies before them.

Is there anyone who could post some guides, tutorials, links, or downloads on developing for this phone?

Welcome to Android and goodluck with your InFuSe!
I myself was always a Windows Mobile guy up until almost 3 years ago when i got my 1st Android device, an HTC Supersonic aka EVO 4G. Since then its been down hill, very similar to a bad bad Crack addiction, with ROM Flashing as my temporary fixxx.
I like my InFuSe(s), hopefully one day i'll love my InFuSe(s). My only complaint is that it is too new and there is too little going on with the device. Thank god my HTC Desire HD aka Inspire 4G keeps me on my feet and flash-happy, but instantly i miss that HUGE Super AMOLED Plus display and must go back to a bone-stock device.
I bought a 2nd InFuSe to have as a side by side testing device and / or to donate to the right MIUI dev to get us on the MIUI boat and later found out that we need to get CyanogenMod going before we have a chance at MIUI...
Again, good luck with your InFuSe and with Android. I have a lil sayin: "Don't worry, your not gonna break it unless you throw it, frustration is a bicht!"
You should totally think more about donating your extra infuse to a cyanogen mod dev so we can get that ball rolling. That would definitely get some more stuff going on with this phone.

I see what you're saying, but if this were truly the case shouldn't Google be doing anything they can to provide media content in a legal manner to all of their customers? Yes, I've rooted my phone, and I would have gladly used the Google Movie service, but since they won't let me, I guess I know how I'll continue to get my movies... If anything this move pushes users back to piracy.
Lmao really? So because I have Google movies (which cost) your happy U didn't root? I have 87 movies between three sd cards but I have zero idea where I got them . Stock? Never again
