[Q] Inspire 4G/Desire HD kernel compatibilty

I just came from the HD2 so I'm still kinda new to the Inspire. With the HD2, each kernel was built from scratch specifically for the HD2 so there was never any question that a kernel from a different ROM would work. I know the Inspire and DHD are basically the same phone specification wise except for different audio drivers for the inspire, so my question is: Can I take any AOSP kernel for the DHD to flash directly to my Inspire running MIUI?

Yes I'm using lordmod on miui now

Thanks!! And I'm assuming I can do the same thing with ROM's also right?

Just try and see... Be sure to backup first.
I've had issues with some kernels not working quite right. The latest lordmod kernel i could not get to act right with Gingerbeast on my phone.
It's a trial by error. Some ROM's too.

Yes Nick is absolutely right. play around and see. every rom I have ever used from the dhd section has worked fine for me some just require you to flash an audio fix thats all. but yes for the most part all the dhd stuff is compatible. Just remember dont use an aosp kernel on a sense rom and vice versa

Cool, thanks guys. And I already made that mistake with the kernels. I tried flashing Leedroid kernel to the MIUI ROM. Everything booted up fine, but wifi gave an error when I tried to enable it. I think ill stick with lordmod anyway, since it seems to be the best all around. Thanks for the help.

you need to keep Sense kernels and AOSP/CM/MIUI kernels separated.

[Q] Stock vs. Custom ROM

I got my sensation last week. It's rooted, and clockwork is already installed on it. I had CM7 on it for about 5 minutes, but I liked the Sense UI better so I just went back to stock because I didn't have time to look for a SENSE Custom ROM.
I'm wondering if it's worth it to go off stock and go to a Custom Sense ROM? I saw Android Revolution HD, and I think the only step I'm missing is that Radio S-OFF.
Anyways, is it worth it to go to a Custom ROM or just stay stock? It's pure preference probably, but pros, cons kind of thing I'm leaning towards yes because I like that ARHD 1.5ghz oc. =)

Im using ARHD 3.6.0 and im loving it.
Better battery, snappier, plus you can flash themes and mods
I would definitely go with any custom rom over stock.
If you rooted with revulutionary you are good to go (already have radio S-OFF)

i like Sense 3.0 but CM7 have more performance

just got my sensation yesterday and played around all day in stock just to get a good feel for it before going to a custom rom which was a definite. i went for android revolution and it's definitely snappier. apps load faster, and the ones that access the web seem to do it faster too.

I didn't root using the methods of revolutionary. If I want to install Revolutionary how would I go about it? I can safely install CM7 already. I still have to do that Radio S-OFF don't I?

Is it just me or does the use of the word "snappier" as in, "it feels snappier now" make you feel that it really isn't much of a difference? When I used to want to tout the speed of some device or app I would say it was faster but I would use the word "snappy" if I couldn't really justify the use of the word "fast".
That being said, when I moved onto the Sensation I tried to go through all the hoops to get off stock but then realized it was just a waste of time considering my Sensation is perfectly fast and stable as is.

Follow this method to get S-OFF, from what I read it also RADIO-OFF's for you as well. Its what I did to flash rev. HD

That's the method I used to S-OFF. Is it the same as Revolutionary's Radio S-OFF?

Try pyramid3d. Its a good rom

[Q] First custom rom, any recommendations?

Hi,
in 3 or 4 hours my friend comes with his Sensation to me and I'll be rooting and unlocking his phone (as I am experienced and own DHD and have sdk and everything installed). Could you recommend me some custom rom to install on his phone later on? It's going to be his first custom rom and it is his first android smartphone so I thought I could install some Sense 3.5 roms to show him all the eye candys at first, so that he knows what his device is capable of . Could you recommend me some stable and (well, possibly) fast sense 3.5 rom? And he's been complaining to me yesterday about battery life so maybe I'll ask him whether he prefers eye candy or battery life. If he says battery, could you also recommend some AOSP or MIUI roms? As said before stable and fast, with everything working. It's his first rom, I don't want to disappoint him, because it was me who got him into Android, he was previously on some symbian crap .

I would probe say arhd 4.1.8 prity simpol for him 2 get use 2 at 1st

Android Revolution HD, Insert Coin or for pure eye candy (and stable-ness) you want Coredroid or BlackIce

I prefer Stock Euro Sensation LE

Bah, Try CM7 to show him an AOSP ROM. (or even MIUI not tried it personally for ages).
Seriously though, I'd download a few and play with then to show him how easy it is. Especially show him the nandroid backup/restore from CWM so he can easily regress to an earlier version, even his stock ROM.

If you are on stock, there is no solution for this.
HTC Sense restarts when RAM runs low, for example during browsing.
This is a known issue & thereis unfortunately no solution.

Are you stock or running a custom Rom? I had this exact same problem on stock before I rooted my device. It drove me crazy! Can't say for sure the cause but I learned something from it. Once I rooted and installed a custom rom the problem stopped completely. What I learned is that custom Roms are actually MORE stable than stock rom! I've never had the issue since . It seems to be a known problem with stock rom. Make sure you don't have many running applications in the background, see if this helps some. Wish I could help more. Good luck.

HTC One S Custom Roms and sense

Hello, I heard that sense 4.0 is GREAT but the stock rom isn't so awesome (its slow and etc).
1) It seems that most of the custom ROMS have Sense 4.0 installed also right? (and the sometimes useful HTC apps which aren't bloatware)
2) Where do we get the stock rom so we can flash back to factory settings? I had a samsung vibrant before and I had to use something called ODIN....
3) I hear the Sense rom that is stock installed has software camera tweaks that makes photos better. Do the custom roms USE it and TWEAK it to make it better or do they leave it out altogether(so the camera photo quality is worse)?
Thanks so much! Just got the phone today! (off contract)

Hello,
i would say that the stock rom isn't really slow... but a custom Rom will unleash your possibilities and give you some really ueseful extras!
1. Yes you are right. Thats because the original Android 4.0 from google is the only alternative (AOSP) wich is portet to other Phones by cynagenmod. But here is the Problem, HTC has not released all off there code. So it is not so easy to get the cynagenmod working stable on the HTC One s. And the most other ROMS like MIUI and so on are based on the cynagenmod. So you will find more ROMs without Sense until the port of the cynagenmod is complete.
2. To get back to the stock Rom you should male a Full clockworkmod Backup before you will flash a custom Rom. So you can easily get back to stock.
3. Thats because off the code HTC didn't puplish. So not every function from the cam is avaliable in the ROMS wich didn't contains the original HTC framework. So ROMs with the AOSP Camera have less functions than the HTC Stock Camera app. But the most Custom Roms uses the HTC camera app. So you can have a custom Rom with all of the Camera options. The Quality of the pictures does not depent to the HTC camera app. The would be some Software filters and so on, but other camera apps have those Filters too. Which one is the Better? Take a DSLR... is my point of view.
TrickDroid and Leedroid perhaps uses the Original Stock Camera app.
