Hey guys!
Wanted to know what you guys prefer/are using - Android Revolution or CM7 on your Inspire. Currently I'm using the stock rooted ROM and I'm loving it. I was using Android Revolution, but the tinny sound was unbearable for me after a while. Now that there's a fix for both AR and CM7, what do you recommend I flash? I don't mind Sense at all, but GB sounds pretty nice as well.
Opinions? Thanks!
I started with revolution but moved on to cm and will probably stay till some 2.3 roms come out, for no real reason I just "have" to have the latest os, always have... windows ME almost ruined my life
I think u have to ask ur self if u really enjoy sense or not... I personally love it after coming from the xperia x10's timescale ui, but if u don't then cm7 all the way for speed cuz it zips... plus u could use the colorize widget to get a sense like feel on cm7
How is battery life on CM7?
I like cm7 but I like the fact more that HTC sense downloads high quality FB images for my contacts. I dont think there is a way to do that on CM7, just the horrible quality images. That is what made me go back to sense... That along with the cm7 keyboard is tiny compared to the htc one.. Im sure I could find an apk somewher for it, but Ill just stick to sense for now.

Download the GB Keyboard from the market. The free one is bigger than the CM one and if you pay $.99 you get even more customization. Not saying this to try to get you to switch though. I even used it on Sense. It seems to be the best kb out there right now.
I noticed that CM7 was just released. I'm on Revolution and love it. CM7 makes me a bit nervous though. Install directions say to pick a radio to install, but then say that if you pick the wrong one you will brick your phone. That scares me. I didn't have to do that with Revolution. Are there benefits to CM7 that out-weigh that risk though? I can't find out a whole lot in the way of a comparison between CM7 and Revolution. I'd love to hear from people that have tried both to see what their impressions were.

Obviously you have a radio installed so it's not an issue. If you are rocking the stock radio just do a full wipe and flash CM7 and you will be good to go. I did that and then changed my radio and everything has always worked well for me. The battery for me isnt too bad and I haven't run into many issues that bother me. I LOVE having CM7/Vanilla Android on this phone. CM7 also has built in capabilities to OC up to 1.5Ghz.
I liked cm7 and it might be a little faster but .......the reason i got the inspire 4g is cause of the screen size. I get alot of MMS slide shows and on cm7 the pictures are TINY unless you want to go to the trouble of saving them to get a full screen pic. With that being said I'll stick to AR for now so I get full screen MMS slide show pics like the stock htc rom did.
So, since I already have a working radio on Revolution, can I just back up the ROM with Tibu and then use Rom Manager to install CM7 to check it out?

Also wondering about this. Currently have CM7 and have it set up just how I like it. If I do a tibu backup of user apps and system data, can I install another ROM, then go back to CM7, restore backup, and have everything like it is now?

Use Nandroid too. Restore that, then apps ONLY with TiBu, not system data.
I used Rom Manager to backup my current system and then Tibu to backup all existing apps and data. Went back to Rom Manager and told it to download CM7. It installed great. Tibu put all my apps back as well. I see three BIG advantages to CM7 over Revolution so far. First, it seems MUCH faster. Second, it allows me to sync my Splash ID to my desktop. That was impossible with the stock ROM (both before and after rooting) as well as with Revolution. It also runs the Fox News app, something else that would never run on prior ROMs. Finally, I love all the new settings. There are a lot more configuration options available than on Revolution or even the rooted stock rom that I started with. All in all, I think I'll be sticking with CM7 for a while.
At first i put CM7 on my inspire...Hate it...after few hours was very slow...I removed it and using now android revolution 3.3...Very very happy...good battery life...
That's odd. I had the exact opposite experience. Of course I was using Revolution 4, but CM7 seems to be a whole lot faster for me. Only issues I've had with it so far is that I keep losing some of my App Tray folders in Go Launcher EX. But I'm also running a beta of that, so no telling where the problem lies.

With mine, it DEFAULTS to charge only, but when you tap on that in the notifications, you are given the option to mount the SD. And I'd make sure to reset the battery stats and give it some time (a full day?) and then look at what is using up your battery and CPU. I too had some sluggishness until I found that a certain utility that I had downloaded but never set up or used was chewing up 50% of my battery. Once I deleted it, I was fine.
been using revo. my favorite.
According to p3droid, darkslide charged is 95% done and will be for ep1w!! Damn can't wait for this! Gonna be sick!!!!
It's been almost complete for 3 months...

They have had to start from scratch various times due to new GB leaks coming out. They have been working on the EP1W build for a while. P3Droid said it was 95% done so we should be seeing it hopefully this week!! The wait will def. Be worth it. Will be better then any other charge rom for sure.

That's just opinion...certainly wont have more customization than gummy does with tsm parts
Considering tsm parts and edt tweaks are the galaxy s standard bearers in regards to that...
Doesn't mean it won't be a very good rom but there's no way to say certainly it will be better.than everything else...either way its personal opinion

Not having TSM parts is a selling point for me. Gummy has just gotten worse and worse since about 1.4, IMHO. I'm actually preferring debloated stock GB to Gummy GBE at the moment, so I'm glad to see another player in the field.

It has gotten laggier, bloatier, and more FC prone over time, not to mention the fact that I loath the themes. GummyComb is the only one that I like at all, but the light blue-on-white text kills it, and it still has the tiny status bar icons that I hate. Outside of that, I tried 3 times, with 3 fresh wipes and installs to get 2.0 FE to work and had continual issues with multiple apps including the Market.

Gotcha. I have never experienced any FC's that weren't app related on any version of Gummy so maybe I am just lucky. There are so many other themes out there that I don't really care about the ones built in. Right now I am running Matted Blues and I like it a lot (I used to run that on my Fascinate as well).
Either way, to each their own. I am definitely all for different options though. I will probably try just about any new ROM that comes out anyway to see if I like it.

Honestly, sounds like user error or a bad download. As for more laggy, that's just funny. For more bloat, new features are a good thing. As for FC prone, I have not had a single FC. For themes, that is your own opinion. I am a fan of minimalgummy.
I will respect your opinion, but like I said, it seems more along the lines or user error or a bad download. Always make sure you wipe data/cache when coming from a diff rom(most likely your FC issue).

Maybe you didn't notice where I said I wiped before every flash. The last time I tried it, I Odined the PIT and stock EE4, flashed CWM, wiped data, cache, and dalvik (I always do all the wipes when flashing a ROM even if it's the same ROM), and flashed 2.0. I still had issues. Both a general UI sluggishness as well as Market issues.
As for "more features", what one man calls features, another calls bloat. The legacy of Gummy is a fast, lean ROM. That is long gone. Granted, GBE is much quicker than FE, and I'm talking overall feel...not benchmark numbers. On FE, as more features have been added, interface sluggishness has been introduced. It hasn't been very pronounced until 2.0, but it's been creeping in for a while. I'm not really confident that GBE is going to be any better when it gets all the bloat from FE. I'm currently running debloated stock EP1W (since last night), and it's snappier than 1.9RC2.3 GBE w/ ext4. I'm waiting for a good GB ROM to get rid of these crap-toned colors, but it's not gonna be one that force feeds me a bunch of extras that I can't trim out.
I never heard of this rom so I was just wondering what is gonna make it great, and I would also like to know what the stock theme would be

Why don't you just cook up your own personal rom (Not in a snappy tone)? I haven't noticed any slowdowns, fc's, or anything out of the ordinary. I love this rom.

Not sure why everybody has to hate mummy is what it is. Most of their development is and has been around froyo. The GB build is half finished and has no flexibility tool.box hasn't been done and no themes. I think most of us root and mess with our phones to go forward, not just keep basically the same thing aka froyo. I could be wrong. It appears this leak has been done released to some people for awhile and waiting for the ok to go officialy go fwd. I tried 2.0 its laggy and is a battery hog. AKA froyo.

wow haha i personally love gummycharged!! its probably my favorite right now, but i had darkslide on my droid x and it is the best rom i have ever ran on a phone. BUT i will DEF miss tsm partts ! pretty much both roms and great and have great developers.
Saying dark slide will be the best charge ROM ever is a pretty bold statement and one I would dispute. I tried the dark slide DroidX ROM for a while and never really cared for it.
I swapped to Liberty and never looked back.....
I like trying new ROMs and may give this one a shot, but I'll be surprised if I stay with it.

This isn't meant as a slight whatsoever so please try not to take it as such, but I just don't get why you find the need to tout TSM parts so much and/or feel the need to remind us that TSM is such a true Mod everytime somebody states they like another Rom better than TSM. You're right about what you said about opinion but aren't others entitled to theirs too?

I'm just so effin fustrated cause this crap is getting old. ALL I WANT IS A PHONE THAT DOES WHAT IS SAYS! Stock was crap, so I rooted. Now the Roms I've tried are way above what stock was. I'm gratefull to all the Devs that make this all possible. I'm in no way upset with all their hard work. They've worked hard to improve the crappy stock ROMs. Here's a list of my probs...and this is common with ALL ROMS, stock, custom, bloated, debloated, odexed, deodexed, w/ voodoo, w/out voodoo. most of my probs are with the net.
4g freezes...I get constant hiccups when I need the net the most. I just want it to work all the time..jebus!
HotSpot freezes...this is caused by the problem above. Now I pay for hot spot and use the App, and since rooted I use WiFi tether. Still same prob. My PC loads pages fast and DL quickly, then all of a sudden...nothing. I have to cycle Airplane mode. This is just getting old already...just work like it does in the damn commercials!
SiriusXM....I love listening to it. I listen in the car, but when I have a 4G hicupp, music is gone...cycle airplane mode...or restart cause the App gets frozen as well. The app works by DL about 5 mins of airplay at a time...I get stops and freezes when it does that too.
Madden 12 not smooth...why have a game compatable with a phone that doesn't work properly? BS...
Same with Skype...never works like it should.
I just want my phone, apps, and internet to work when I need it. IS that too much to ask? I can never catch a break. Right now I'm on HumbleComb 4.0. So far this is the best ROM I've had. Still have same probs, but they happen fewer than with other ROMS...
I never tired Darkcharge cause it didn't have the toolbox. Now that it does I might try it. Should I? Or should I wait for the new 2.3.5 that P3 has been saying is the best Stock ROM beating out MotoBionic, and HTC Tbolt?
Anyone else have all these issues? Am I too picky? Just wanted to vent my frustration and see if other experience the same.
Check your PM.
sucks to hear you're having these problems but a lot of them are hardware/software related an not fixable as of yet, there is a huge issue with data connectivity on the Charge which seems to be the huge deal and the GB leaks are full of bugs (and not officially supported yet which is why there's problems with apps/games on GB)... the only thing I could suggest is Imnuts Infinity rom, I had maybe 1 little issue the whole time I ran it which I unfortunately can't say about the other roms
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
The best luck I've had is with the ep1w leak that I manually de-bloated, and zipalign using the ron toolbox. Also installed immuts repacked 2.3.5 voodoo kernal. Runs smooth. I can't remember my last force close or restart since I've been on this set up. Also using launcher pro plus
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Thanks for the replys...I will try what has been suggested... still I hope when we finally get an official update(2.3.5)...and the ROMs that follow that..
Because of the many issues with the TB, VZW has swapped out a charge as a replacement for my thunderbolt. Received the charge yesterday afternoon and I have already replaced the ROM using Odin with the ep1w which appears to be a stock rooted gingerbread rom.
I looked over the custom ROMs but since I've been with HTC phones for years they look a bit foreign to me and I don't know which one is which, what the differences are nor do I have a clue what "voodoo" is that I keep reading about.
I like a ROM that is clean looking (looked at Darkslide and the look of it made me cringe), doesn't have tons of added in features that break the basic services. I expect to learn more as I spend time in these forums now but for now I would like to get this phone up to speed without bricking or breaking it.
All advice and help will be read, considered and appreciated.

Here is the official page of Voodoo.
It is basically a tweak, that improve the color, sound and lag fix for Galaxy S phones, that's including Droid Charge as they are using the same processor.
You might want to check out GummyCharged ROMs, they look like vanilla stock Android. There are two versions, Froyo (FE) and Gingerbread (GBE).
There are also some other ROMs on other forums, that I'm not allowed to post the link here, google it =)

Yup, thanks!
For rom recommendations I say try out infinity or gummy gbe. Both are gingerbread and supposedly good, though I haven't tried gummy gbe because infinity is great, both are available over at rootzwiki
Voodoo is EXT4 which many HTC's have that support.
I am using gummy charged gbe and I like it a lot. The status bar will force close ever now and then (pretty rare and it happens when you charge to 100% battery) but other then that it is smooth. Here is the rom. http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?6634-ROM-EP1W-CWM-GummyCharged-GBE-2.0-9-28-2011&
I would also apply supercharger tweaks. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...K0jfQLLLQ&sig2=MdzoMAhAadsmDvMvAmreiQ&cad=rja Download that and then download busybox installer, install version 1.18.2 and reboot. Then you will need script manager, open the script you downloaded and make sure you check "run as root." Follow the prompts and do option 12 for a HUGE improvement.
If you want a clean look then check out the theme I ported over from an HTC phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282585
And! Welcome to the Droid Charge forums, I hope you enjoy your new phone .
Thanks or the help and advice. I did put up Infinity rom and it seems pretty nice. No issues so far but its only been since last night.
As for gummycharge, the minute you mention fc's (even if only occasionally) and also when charged to 100 percent, you lose me. That's what I'm trying to get away from.
As for the other stuff, I'll take a look at it in the next few days. I want to live with each change so I know where I'm at before I push something else to this phone. Makes it a lot easier to troubleshoot if a problem arises. When you dump too much stuff on the phone all at the same time and something goes wrong you don't really have a starting point to work from in term of what is causing the issue.

The Gummy GBE RC edition was rather stable. I ran it since it came out, only having to go back to stock cause I have to go to Verizon later today.
Wanted to let the 2 or 3 people who read this to know my consensus.
I've tried most the droid charge roms and some of you might not have.
I Odin back to the first froyo and let the updates occur all the way to 2.3.6. Than loaded clockwork recovery through Odin (with auto restart off). Booted phone into cwr instead of booting into os. Than I flashed the superuser zip file in recovery.
So now I'm rooted stock rom and its running the best so far. GPS locks on very well but caused issues with 4g data. Almost flashed 4p radios back into it but than I disabled gps, ran speed test and speeds were good again. Enabled gps and ran another speed test and everything was gravy. So you might have to disable and enable gps one time.
Couldn't be happier with this build.
Update: I've gotten a couple pms asking me.
After I odin the first froyo build to prepare for all the ota updates I skipped setting up any accounts until the final gingerbread update was completed.

I agree. The only thing I don't like about Infinity is its instability and lag.
I agree. Other than the fact that I deodexed it, debloated it, rooted it, and themed it, my phone is stock.
I can put the original "poop color" theme back on the phone along with hiding certain apps and walk into a Verizon Store and the representative will know nothing about me having rooted the device.
The nice thing about stock is that it doesn't have the annoying lag like roms do. Little things between page transitions. So yes it is a pretty good setup

For those people who do know how to root, tweak, and otherwise customize their phones... more power to them. It gives you, the user, power to do what you want with your device which is what Android is really all about; giving the end user power over their own device.

tsm gives you hotboots, however rarely. Also there were times where infinity 1211 lagged a lot.

I always suspected as much, so I decided to flash over to the stock (deodexed, rooted, imoseyon and cwr) and phone is finally as smooth as the day I got it. I love Humble and Infinity but the lag and freezing just started to drive me up the wall. I do miss the widget selector though, is there anyway I can get that back?
yea i had bad reboots and lagg on the infinity ROM...put it back to stock rooted..i dont even want to theme cause every time i flash something **** gets laggy..im over it..this phone has no development, and for as long as its been out thats pretty sad..safe to say we wont get any real development section on this phone...i had the droid incredible and they had tons of development..not hatin on the ones that are developing just sayin..

I ran infinity for a little more than a week. Did everything to make sure it was a good flash (went all the way back to ED1 to ensure I was bonestock). It ran great, and I'd still be on it if I didn't start having issues after flashing a theme and then reflashing the stock rom cause I didn't like it (first hotboot was <5 minutes after lol).
I had every intent on going back because it is so good. But after playing with the stock for a little bit, stock really is smoother. Its not a case of infinity lagging so much as stock feeling much more seamless. Its hard to describe, but you would probably notice the difference if you gave it a shot.
Again, not bashing infinity. I might even go back to it because I like some of the features.
On another note. I tried flashing the superuser zip like the OP discussed, but I lost root after reboot and can no longer boot into CWM. What could I be doing wrong?

I ran infinity for a little more than a week. Did everything to make sure it was a good flash (went all the way back to ED1 to ensure I was bonestock). It ran great, and I'd still be on it if I didn't start having issues after flashing a theme and then reflashing the stock rom cause I didn't like it (first hotboot was <5 minutes after lol).
I had every intent on going back because it is so good. But after playing with the stock for a little bit, stock really is smoother.

You have to odin cwr again, make sure auto reboot is turned off. After successful "pass" of cwr, unplug to power down. You have to boot straight into recovery or else you will lose cwr. Than load superuser. If you don't boot into recovery on first reboot the stock recovery writes over cwr.

That was part of it, the issue was that I wasn't keeping root to change the permissions on the recovery installer.
Turns out, I wasn't mounting /system (mounting /facepalm instead).
Thanks for your help.
Yeah, that's a common occurance among the people who are new to rooting and using CWM. I screwed up when I was first doing this stuff too.

I haven't tried TweakStock yet, but so far self-debloated EP4D has been the best experience for me as well. Infinity isn't bad, but as others have said it just isn't as smooth as stock.
I am using this one to. The rest kind of suck Visual Voice mail dont work be nice if infinity had it working Id be using it.
Noob. How did you load clockwork recovery through odin? I just went back to ee4 now its updating all otas. just wanted to know if anybody can give me a hand. I saw a thread where imnuts put out a download of new cwr but too many problems. bricking etc. I just want stock rooted as above.
