Kernel Question - HTC Inspire 4G

So my wife wants her Inspire as stock as possible, but she wanted bloat removed and it rooted. So I installed the following ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192372&highlight=2.47.502.7rtdx
Just the latest AT&T GM ROM rooted and bloat removed. Her radio, ril, and software:
Radio - 12.59.60.26U_26.11.04.21_M
RIL - 2.2.0160HM
Software - 2.47.502.7rtdx
What kernel would you recommend? She complains about the sound some and I saw some kernels have fixes. I can't seem to find a kernel that is made for the stock ROM. She doesn't want a ROM so I'm leaving her phone alone as much as possible, just looking for a solid kernel with as much speed/stability as possible hopefully with the audio fix.
TIA

If you're going to use the stock ROM then you should probably stick with the stock kernel. However, if you're feeling adventurous you can try a Lordmod Sense kernel (post #2), or LeeDroid kernel. These kernels are great for custom Sense ROMs and come highly recommended, but I've never seen anyone mention using using them on the stock ROM. Be sure to make a nandroid backup first, in case you end up in a boot loop or you want to revert back to stock kernel.
Regarding the "audio fix" you're talking about...I don't know if you're going to see much improvement with a different kernel, but it's worth a shot. The Inspire doesn't have particularly great audio (especially if your wife is coming from an iPhone or something else with good audio). Lordmod does boost the volume a bit, if that is her complaint. Let us know your results either way.

2.6.35.10 is the stock kernel. Browse the development forum for kernels based off of this. Any of these should work. You will have to play with them to see what works best for you. The kernel that is in her Rom has the nesessary sound files. If you want it to just be louder than there are some kernels that boost sound, but as far as quality, this is as good as it gets.

[KERNEL] Stock Inspire 4G Kernel

Here's the stock Inspire 4G Kernel You can flash any DesireHD ROM, then flash this on top of the ROM to enable audio.
Basically, I just took the Telus kernel that's floating around here, and replaced the bcm4329.ko and boot.img with the ones from the stock ROM.
Happy flashing!
This is flashable with any desire hd? Does it have clean sound?

You should be able to flash this kernel with any DesireHD ROM. The sound quality is almost the same as the Telus kernel from what I remember.
I think the main problem with sound quality is compatibility between the ROM and the Kernel. Something is missing in the DHD ROMs that slightly degrades sound quality when used on an Inspire 4G. Hopefully someone figures this out soon
Oh ok. So what is gained from this kernel over the TELUS?

Honestly, I have no clue. Some people have said the Telus kernel is unstable for one reason or another so I figured why not just rip the kernel out of the stock ROM It might or might not be more stable
I haven't noticed any instability.
Has anyone tried this with cm7?

For those who have flashed kernels already

My only experience with android phones so far has been with the captivate.Flashing kernels on that phone was easy with neldars app.Does anyone know if that app is functional on the inspire or if theres a similar app.
Thanks in advance guys.
I haven't tried neldar's kernel flasher on the Inspire yet, but flashing a kernel on the Inspire is pretty simple. Just reboot into recovery, install zip from sdcard, and select the kernel. Flash and reboot
DO NOT try that app on the inspire.
It's called sgs kernel flasher for a reason
Sorry for off topic but di11i are you going to be developing the source?
Im gonna try my damndst
Just got the phone last night and rooted, flashed leedroid with stock kernel and radio just so I wouldn't be stock today at work( and I work construction, and can't even use my phone much during the day.- that's how much I do not like the stock set up and bloat)
So I'm gonna try making something tonight, deodexed zipaligned debloated and optimized.
Mostly waiting for kernel source to fix audio as that should be fairly easy , but I'm gonna try to make something to hold some people over until then

What was your reasoning for leedroid? And the TELUS kernel works just as well with faster data and connectivity without any instability.
I'm also down to be a beta tester.

[Q] What ROM should I choose?

Hi, I know there's no such thing as the "best" ROM, it depends entirely on taste and on what you're expecting. So, I'm searching for a 2.3.4, stable, as fast as possible ROM with no particular tweaks if not for increasing speed and memory...should I simply go with a deodexed stock or is there something better speedwise? Thank you in advance!

I would also like to get this tip...Speed increase and more available memory, maybe some tweaks in the notification bar, but besides that I would like to keep my phone pretty much in stock form.
If speed tweaks are all you want with very high stability, check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065392
His ROM (When he reposts it) is very stable and very fast.
Install that with James Bond or Netarchy kernel and you'll have a very fast/stable setup.
Ok, great, thanks!

Thanks for the tip! That ROM seems to be exactly what I want.
Can I add shortcuts or power controls to the pull down notification bar with a separate app, or should they be cooked to the ROM? If I can could somebody point me to the right directionwhere I could find this kind of separate app? Thanks!
If you want something a little more customized, but still pretty stock, you could try the infin1ty ROM. I've been using it for a while now, it is very quick and very stable. The dev is also very involved and posts regular updates about new features and bug reports.

I would suggest you to use SupeASOP v8.0.
I find that rom is the best after i tried different roms.
Cm7 is good but not to my expectation.
I would recommend you to try SupeASOP v8.0 with kernel of Netarchy Nexus - 1.3.0.12-cfs-2.3.4-universal (Universal for non-stock 2.3.4 roms).

I flashed this one:

Rooted it by flashing su (before rebooting):

And, after first reboot I flashed Netarchy kernel (CFS 2.3.4 stock):

BLAZING fast...much faster (at least in my everyday use) than anything else I've tried...battery life also seems really good...thank you guys!
Why do you prefer this rom?

Ok, this rom is working great, but I get a force close when I try to make a video chat on talk...audio chat is fine...I saw many users had this problem on nexus s but I haven't understood if it's a rom related problem or a general problem with 2.3.4 on this phone...any suggestions?

I don't know much about your ROM, but there was/is an issue where you have to have your volume all the way down before you start a video chat on talk. Some ROMs have it fixed, some don't. Also, some ROMs have an issue where only the back camera works with video chat.
I know most devs are working on incorporating the fix for talk into their ROMs. If it is a deal breaker for you, take a look around at different ROMs, we are very fortunate to have many active and talented devs working on various ROMs.

All stock Rom

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.

Mt4gs any kernels for stock ROM 1.65?

Good morning. Is anyone aware of kernels for mt4gs on the stock ROM v 1.65? I've read pretty much every relevant thread in the mt4gs dev forum, but can't post there sadly.
I'd really like to use the UV6 kernel, but it indicated it won't work with stock ROM 1.55, so I assume that applies to 1.65 ROM also.
I know that with S-ON Unlocked, I have some alternate ROM flashing options, but the camera & 1080p video recording are important to me. It sounds like these aren't fully functional on non-stock from everything I've read.
I'd like to do a UV kernel to save battery, which is really my only complaint about mt4gs. Also letting the snapdragon all the way up tp 1.5ghz would be great too.
Thanks for any help!
