At&t hasnt even announced their plans to update the Inspire 4G and i was thinking, since the Desire HD is pretty much the exact same phone, can i flash the Desire HD official gingerbread rom? im asuming ill lose the 3g/4g capabilities but that can be solved by flashing the AT&t radio after i flash the update, right?

Radio firmware doesn't have to do with 2G/3G loss on the Inspire/DHD, it is the software in the the ROM (RIL combined with APN). If the ROM doesn't have the correct settings it will not have a data connection at all... Also, flashing a pure DHD ROM will cause major sound issues on your Inspire. I would just recommend using one of the 2.3 ROM's in the dev section, most of them are based on the official 2.3 release anyway.
You shouldn't have any problems, as long as you match your radio with the RIL and apply the dhd to inspire patch somewhere on these boards.

I've flashed Desire Rom's without any problems just use LeeDroid DHD to Inspire Patch to apply turboliniums tinny audio fix.

The thing is there's no stock 2.3.3 on these forums :/ , so the trouble is the ril, ive had no problems reactivaating the apn in the past

Use the steps in my method in development after flashing, it basically resets your radio to AT&T specs on any Sense-based ROM's. RIL, Radio, APN, telephony.db. All there.
Edit: make sure to to a rooted stock ROM, NOT THE RUU!!
Re-Edit - Use this one. It is pretty darned stock.
im getting more confused , the gingerbread roms on the inspire 4g development forums are based on the desire hd roms but already have the ril and the at&t raido and apn? or are jsut the desire hd roms and we have to flash the ril and the radio after we flash the rom?
And the screwed sound you mention is no sound AT ALL or the tiny audio?
Chad-
Slow down. Do some reading. Don't jump into it too fast and you will be fine. Read-Read-Read.
Chad, this as close to stock GB Sense as you can get. All you have to do is flash the rom nothing else. And your phone will actually think its an Inspire 4g not a Desire hd.

I am getting a lot of feedback and static on voice calls with LeeDroid ROM 3.2.1 with the Ace GB 3.1.8 kernal. Do I need to flash a different radio if so which one? If not how do I fix this audio problem on calls. All other audio on the phone works perfectly.

I had sound problems as well with calls and speakerphone this seemed to fix the issue. Just backup before then apply zip. Hopefully this helps and good luck!
Thanks that worked great.

Leedroid radio
I just recently flashed leedroid rom after using and loving cm7. After i flashed leedroid my battery life has become terrible and I tried all the other suggestions such as brightness and juice defender but its still worst than stock rom.......could this be a radio issue?? my current radio is 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
P.S. this is my first post on xda

That's an old Desire HD radio. Try either 26.06.06.30 or 26.09.04.11, you can find them in the Inspire radio thread along with flashing instructions. I believe the RIL that comes with LeeDrOid is 2.2.0131HM, which will work fine with either of those radios.

Thanks I shall give it a try.
Been fine on stock TMO rom. However I do want to upgrade to 2.3.4 So I have been studying the ROM section here on forum for Sensation.
I want Sense and as close as stock as I can get. Been leaning towards REVOLUTION or InsertCoin ROms. However I have read some issues with Insert Coin.
Could you give me what your using and if its stable?
Thanks team!
LeeDroid is the best IMO
What kind of issues have u heard about with insertcoin? I installed this the other day and it works great! Would also like to know what the leeroid has over insertcoin cause i was thinking about that one as well

Been using Insertcoin for the last few days, works great. No issues so far.
CoreDroid, all the 2.3.4 goodies along with one SEXY ass theme!

CoreDroid V4 (2.3.4) works well!
x 2 on CoreDroid. I've been using it without problems (other than the fact that autobrightness doesn't transition smoothly for me), and I haven't read of anyone else having that problem. Overall very fast and good looking rom.

InsertCoin v2.1. I'll eventually upgrade to 2.2.1 or whatever the current release is soon. The stock kernal flies. I haven't given the custom kernal a go yet.

Senseless 1.3 =] Great rom with a great gingerbread theme.. Hopefully upgraded to 2.3.4 soon!
As soon as most of us switched to S-Off, I was heistant on flashing since most ROMS as already mentioned were unstable with very few options for T-Mo USA users.
However after messing around with a few stock rooted roms, I jumped on InsertCoin and have not looked back. Some hiccups in the begining, but stable overall. Great ROM.

Did you switch to the recommended radio for insertcoin as well? I really want to try insertcoin but am afraid of flashing radios, and CoreDroid has just happened to work fine with stock tmous radio, so it's a great solution as of now.

coredroid try it if u haven't yet what u have to lose
Using latest MDJ Virtous rom. He knows what he's doing.
Insert Coin far and away the fastest imo.
i don't have htc sensation but what about Android Revolution HD ROM ???
I first check RevolutionHD, but didn't find it much better than the stock rom, so I changed to Leedroid and with the brand new 2.3.4 inside I definitely love it.
Maybe will have a look on Insert Coin in the future ase many here are favoring it.
Is there any mods I can install on my phone, s off, rooted. Or do I need to flash certain ROM inorder to install mods like beats.

Hi,
The thing is to flash mods using the same base as your ROM.
If you check my sig , I have battery mods for ARHD base 2.3.4 and 2.3.5
Check with your ROM'S dev,to see which base you are using,and then flash the appropriate mod.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL A MOD
For beats I installed THIS MOD ,because I am on base 2.3.5 using Sense 3.5
Or you could install ARDH 3.6.3 XE which contains beats anyway.

I'm still on stock tmobile us rom, I just came from arhd with no luck so I restored my phone to factory stock then s off and rooted.

You can install anything you want, you just have to know what it is you want to do. Lets say you want to have beats audio (using the previous posters example). You know you have a stock ROM, version 2.3.4 most likely, so just find a beats audio only mod for 2.3.4 bases running Sense 3.0.
Or, as the previous poser says, you can install a whole ROM that already includes it. ARHD basically simulates a Sensation XE by removing the under-clocking on the CPU thats there stock bringing it up to 1.5 Ghz, adding beats audio, and overall just smoothing out the ROM. It looks the same as the stock ROM, it just works better.
The best thing to do is just make a backup of how it is now through recovery, then try stuff out and see what you like. You can always restore your backup and it will be right back to how it was before you did anything.

EDIT: Saw you came from ARHD. Sorry to hear about the bad luck. But yes, you can install mods without a full ROM.

Yeah I did tried 3 of the most recent arhd Rom, it is smooth and fast but has too many glitches on my phone. I tried installing the recommended radio it does fixed my signal issue, but after 3 days of using my phone keeps goin on a black screen when somebody calls me or text me so I decided to revert to stock

Interesting. Did you try turning the CPU back down to 1.2 GHz? I have ran 3.6.1 and only had one reboot before I switched to the beta kernel, never had any issues with 3.6.2 which came with the same kernel I upgraded to with 3.6.1, but I switched to bricked 0.91 kernel and its even better. Tried 3.6.3 and had a bunch of FC problems and issues so I restored back to 3.6.2.
Basically they all have worked well for me, but I've read of some people needing to stay at 1.2 GHz because of problems you have described.

I haven't tried restoring to 1.2ghz , I just restored my phone back to stock I got tired of trying all the versions and seems all of the versions I flashed had issues on my phone, don't get me wrong but I do love the speed and smoothness of arhd its just those fcs, unstable signal and not to mention the black screen issue. But like you said I haven't tried using different kernel I just used the one that came with the Rom and the other faux kernel that one of xda member suggested the beta 10. I even tried the insertcoin 3.3.9 and same issue with signal. I'm on tmobile carrier I don't know if that causes the signal issue with most of the Rom I flashed.

Well, I'm on T-Mobile also and have had no issues, thats strange. Did you flash the recommended radio also? Maybe you need to try a different one if so.
I really like the Bricked kernel, it runs faster/smoother and the battery life is better than the Faux kernels I used - at least what I've seen so far. I run Sense 3.0 so Im limited to Bricked 0.91, but its still plenty good from what I've seen. He is developing more for Sense 3.5 kernels at this point I think.
Anyway, if it was me, I would try one of the ARHD ROMs with a bricked kernel (the kernel can also affect your reception I believe). If you still have issues, try clocking it back to 1.2 Ghz. I too ran IC for a little while, but finally just settled back to ARHD for a few reasons.

Hi,
Have you tried a custom ROM with the original radio?
I know it won't be matched,but sometimes it's a needs must situation.
Use the radio that will give you the BEST signal.
It might just be that it's the only one that will work properly in YOUR area.

Hi,
So,what combination of ROM and radio was the best for signal?
And with your current set-up,do you ALWAYS have bad signals?
Or does it vary from area to area?
I have recently bought a used Sensation. Not yet rooted. I am waiting for the official ICS update from HTC. Previously I was using a Desire and after rooting it I tried various Sense 3, Sense 3.5 ROM's on it. One common problem I found was that the camera and flash were not synchronized. i.e. the photo would be taken milliseconds after the flash went off. So the pictures would come out dark. There are a few threads on this issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338800&highlight=dark
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379500&highlight=dark
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311702&highlight=dark
And none of the developers were able to solve this problem.
Do the Sensation ROM's also face this problem? I want to try out a few ICS ROM's after rooting but I dont want its camera to be messed up like my desire's by installing custom ROM's. So I am hesitant.
Would appreciate feedback from custom Sensation ROM users here whether their camera / flash are working properly.
AFAIK that is a kernel issue, not a ROM issue and I dont think it affects any custom ROM's for sensation
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
That is true. The issue is present in almost all ROM's. So it cant be the ROM that is at fault. Any more users here would like to share their experience? Thanks in advance.
I use Android Revolution HD 3.6.11 on my HTC Sensation, and the camera/flash timing works fine. I haven't used an ICS ROM yet.
