Well my inspire came 2.3.3 out the box and seems to run pretty good to me. The radio seems to be a lot better than when i tried a inspire during launch week. What will i really be gaining by flashing a custom rom? Which one will work the best with stock 2.3.3 radio?

The roms will work with all radios, just make sure to note the radio version you have and to have the ril flashed with it on a sense rom. The radio differs by location and not rom.
Like i said its completely stock on the 10.04.03m radio
For me, the one benefit I've noticed is battery life. Running stock gingerbread, I could maybe get 10-11hrs out of a charge. Running AR 6.1.2 with the recommended radio and similar use a (subjective, I know), I'm seeing over 20hrs on a charge.

Which rom is the best all stock rom can someone send me a link
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Uh, search would be best. When you say best stock ROM, not sure what you mean as a lot of the ROMs are stock based..some more then others. Best bet is start here (below link). If you're looking for a stock like ROM with all the bloatware gone I know they make a stock ROM (never tried it). I've been using RCmix and just switched to coredroid and love it. Both are pretty much stock but have sense and some minor tweaks here and there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1018
How could you even think to call those stock? Not even close. lol
This ROM is the closest to stock ATT gingerbread out there. Well it is exactly that. The stock rooted 2.47 Gingerbread ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192372
All others have a little modification done.
Gene Poole's InspirePhacopedia is next closest to ATT stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193244
Cleardroid by ClearD is also a slightly modified stock based ROM.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996368
RumRunner and Juicy ROM are also close to stock ROMS. But they are based off a latest Desire HD build and not the inspire. But they have both been made to look and perform like the inspire's build. I run Juicy ROM myself and have had zero issues with it. I highly recommend it. This ROM is 99% stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169656
And PirateGhost's RumRunner is just as fine but it has the most modification done to it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176943
Best thing about these last 2 versions is that they are completely ATT free and the HotSpot Tethering app works with no issues. So does the messaing app. At least I think there is no issue with RumRunners messaging.
I am looking forward to Gene, PG, or Juicy to release an almost stock build of the 3.06 test build. Hint Hint

I apologize if the OP was confused by comment as this guy has pointed out, I shouldn't have referred to the other ROMs as stock, but based on stock with modifications. I stand corrected.
I flashed cm7 a while back (the only stable version available at the time. not sure if it's still the same), and could get hspda (H symbol). I went back to the stock rom and have recently tried testing out some different radios but can't seem to get hspda. I realize that the symbol isn't exactly a great indicator, but could it be that i'm not using the same radio as the one included in cm7? i'm using the kd1 radio now, which is working okay, but i'd really prefer a better signal either way.
anyone know either 1) what radio is best to use in canada?, or 2) what radio is used in cm7? i've tried the hspda tweak already too. thanks
CM7 does not come with a radio. The radios come with the stock rom and/or via OTA's. Usually the latest radio is going to be the best. Some people will find an older radio may work better. There is a sticky that lists all the radios. Pick the latest for your device and give it a try.

I for sure didn't flash a radio after flashing cm7 though, so there had to have been something that came with it. i'll try out a few different radios to see which I like. do you need to do the hspda tweak every time you flash a new radio?
yeah the H is just a tweak in the CM7 rom.

damn. i'll just have to keep flashing radios then lol. thanks
Hi everyone! I switched from a sense based rom to a cm7 one and never got the chance to install a different radio. Now from my understanding: not all radios will work best for everyone?
Anywho, I was just wondering what affects that and ultimately what radio I should use? Thanks!

Basically try and see.
The OP mentions 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 as that's what they tested against. I'm using 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 and that seems to work about the same as the recommended one for me, I tried both.
Have a browse in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258543 as that's where you'll get most info on CM7.
This is mainly for the people who've made the jump from GB to any current ICS rom, biggest question is: was it worth it?
I've read up on all the steps and understand the firmware changing, but am still very hesitant to make the change. Some of my largest concerns:
1. after changing to the new firmware do I also need to change my radio and/or ril's to match a specific rom?
2. do the benefits of ICS outweigh the bugs and drawbacks?
For me, my priorities are having good picture quality, a working video camera, working wifi, and above all else having GOOD and QUICK gps lock.
Would any of the ICS roms be better or worse for me to try given my listed priorities?
My final question, I currently have 1.17 hboot, if I flash the new firmware and decide I want to go back to GB is it a simple process to just re-flash 1.17?

1. Radio is in the new firmware, RIL is in ICS ROMs already.
2. Yes, with latest builds there are virtually no bugs and they are fast and stable for daily drivers
If you want to flash back to GB you will just have to reflash firmware for GB

1- the radio is included in the firmware.
2- Yes. I haven't encountered many bugs or any drawbacks.
3- Yes, you just have to flash the old firmware and and GB ROM
The switch to ICS is worth it.
Better performance, better battery life, better appearance.
I haven't run into serious bugs.
OP, at this stage I'm going to wait for the official release, it shouldn't be far away now.

I have no clue why there are even GB ROMs still even out there. ICS is working flawlessly and it's better than GB in pretty much every way. Mindboggling how people still use them.
Better battery life is the biggest plus IMO.

IMHO there is absolutely no comparison between ICS and GB.It's like day and night.
You're all pretty convincing, maybe I'll actually try it out tonight. Have any of you gone back to GB after being on ICS? From all I've read it doesn't seem too complicated, just flash 1.17 back and I'm back to where I started, right?
EDIT:
I know two of you already told me the radio is included in the new firmware, but why does ARHD have links to both the firmware and the radio? I'm confused?

What version of ICS are you running?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I would never go back to GB after having ICS (rmk40) with the latest firmware for 3 weeks!
Are you on Inquisition? No issues and all working?
I'm in the process of updating to Virtuous Inq. but I already have a question. The firmware I downloaded from Virtuous site but it says it's 1.23 in bootloader, is this the older firmware? Should I have used a different firmware?
its worth it simply from a battery life and GUI acceleration standpoint
from a speed standpoint, the biggest thing you can do is getting rid of Sense
Well, so far things are not going all that smoothly. I managed to get new firmware installed and installed virtuous inq but titanium backup is not being allowed root access. Any ideas??

Clear superuser data and titanium data.
Open super user.and.make sure you have the latest binary installed.
For good measure restart phone.

Ok, so I understand the process of flashing the firmware and installing a new ics rom.
What I don't get is how to go back to a GB rom, I am going to flash the 3.24 firmware so once I wanna go back what are the exact steps to use?
Flash old 1.17 firmware, go to recovery, use superwipe, then restore nandroid back up or what? Just wanna make sure do I don't brick my phone going back to GB, just in case I don't like the new ICS roms lol.
Thanks for any help!

Looking to get a few opinions from ppl that flash multiple roms to their devices. Looking for something that is stable, not overclocked, and has the least amount of reported issues. Thanks in advance!!
i am currently using insertcoin 4.6.1 and it is very stable and fast also without overclocking it
Android Revolution HD is great, very fast, very stable and I've had no issues so far.
The Android Revolution HD ICS is a really good ROM. I just recently flashed it and love it. It's fast and stable. I performed the benchmark test with the ROM and came up around 2900-3000 compared to the previous 1900s.
I will second Insertcoin. The only issue is the inbuilt WiFi tether being broken, but I believe that is an issue with ALL current ICS roms. Barnacle works wonders.
Flashing Android revolution as we speak.. I thought it was supposed to give an option to select 1.2 or 1.5?
InsertCoin and ARHD are both extremely popular options. My suggestion is to try them both and see which one works best for you. Give each one a few days to get the kinks worked out and always make sure you do a full backup and Super Wipe every time you change ROMs!

I had the same thoughts as you when I was using Clockwork Mod to flash roms, it never asked anything about the install. Now, I use Touch Recovery and I have yess/no options when I flash roms now
Its really difficult to find a fully compatible ROM for your phone, as what happen to mine tried the popular one which i got a lot of issues some people not, so I tried other. Every ROM's claiming fast/stable. To be fair you can to try each for yourself which I did and happy with what i have now. Different people have thier own choices depends on what their need. Go out and explore there now 44+ ROMS you can narrow down which is more popular and depends on their feedbacks. Goodluck.
If you would like to try non-sense I recommend miui v4 or either CM9 kang. I've had zero issues with either.

Yeah, it will ask you but only if you have installed 4Ext recovery instead of clock work mod. In my experience 4Ext is a much more complete recovery.

insertcoin rom is the best for me
I've been running Android Revolution HD 5.3 since January. This was my first experience with a non-stock android device as I bought the device configured in that way. I was very happy with it, but couldn't get HTC Sync to transfer my contacts and found it a little laggy, other then that it was great. The best advice I was given to fix my issue was to reload/update the ROM. Mike actually uploaded his latest version 6.4.0 while I was downloading 6.3.1 so I scrapped that and went with 6.4.0 since it was based on the Final HTC RUU 3.32.401.3.
Its only been a day so its not much of a test, but so far its way better and faster then the old ROM even when it was fresh. HTC sync worked flawlessly. the response time is as close to instant as you can get. You need to use 4ext recovery to have the option to use the 1.5Ghz kernel or load the Sony Bravia engine. I chose both options and have seen no issues, only improvements.
Like everyone said its really your taste so try out a few varieties, just remember to superwipe between them else you might find bugs that aren't really an issue with the ROM but because you didn't clear all the old data.
All the best and have fun.
