[Q] How to install Cyanogenmod7 on inspire 4g

sorry if there is an exact thread just like this, imagine there is but i wasnt able to find it. i just got my inspire today im familiar with android phones but i know the phone just came out so im wondering if someone can walk me through this, from what i understand ill need to root, flash the cyanogen7 rom then flash a kernel that will allow me to have sound. i was wondering which kernel i would need and what is the easiest root method currently available. thanks for the help guys!!
edit: there is no modified version of this with a different kernel that will allow us to flash the inspire kernel and make sound work??

i thought you could install any desire hd rom, there is a cyanogen7 rom for the hd right here. and just flash a kernel over it to get the audio working. or am i wrong?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917271

cyanogenmod has its own kernel that's made specifically for AOSP. A normal sense kernel will definitely not work for it. It is cool though, I flashed it for a few minutes and it's wayyyy quick with the 1.51ghz kernel they have on there, too bad we don't have source to get sound yet

Yeah just played around with it. Superfast. Love all the gingerbread stuff too. Tried fladhing those kernels the phone wont boot

bump, i see people posting modified versions of cm7 for dhd do they have different kernels that would allow the sound to work on our inspires?

Yes, yes they do.

Check out the android development section. There is a working kernel for sound on CM7 and I'm using it right now.

[Q] Steam APk

Hi guys,
I have a SGS2 running ICS and i cant download Steam from the app market (cant post a link as i dont have enough posts, but its Steam as in Valve Corp for PC gaming etc).
Its saying my device isnt compatible?! Can someone post a download for the APK?
Would really appreciate it.
Regards Matt.

Well are you sure that the new Steam app is available for Android 4 ICS? there's a lot of apps not compatible with ICS yet, so maybe that's exactly why you can't install it.
The app is new as well and they're currently in a closed Beta fase, so it's normal that it may not work on ICS.

I didnt think of that. But then a lot of apps i cant download on the market because of this "incompatibility" issue i google the apk and manage to download them and they work fine.
Also this is the latest review left: "nextjonas on January 28, 2012 (Samsung Nexus S with version 1.0)
Received my invite yesterday
And it's really great so far. Everything I ever wanted from Valve! However, the RAM usage can peak at 100MB. This usage even killed other running processes like whatsapp service :O though nice app & looking forward for coming features =)"
Im assuming his device is running ICS 4.0? Also i think the picture of the device running steam mobile in the market is a Nexus S
Regards

Have you tried uninstalling+reboot and reinstalling+reboot and then try to open the app?
I've just installed Steam from the market on my SGS2 with AndyX ICS ROM v3.1 and it opened smoothly and fast, i just can't log in because i don't have an account... so this means that it IS compatible with ICS. Maybe your ROM has some issues with that? is it stable with other apps?

Yeah all my other apps work fine. Il give AndyX ICS ROM v3.1 a try and see how it goes. Before i do tho is it stable?

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Moving to Q&A

Yes, AndyX's v3.1 is stable but of course has some issues like any other ICS. He's now working on the LP6 version (latest leaked official samsung stock rom), the one it's based in now is the LP2 but it works well.
I'm waiting for his LP6 version though, meanwhile i'm testing other roms but so far Andy's is the one i liked the most.

Installed on sandvolds ics for desire ok for me, doubt it is an ics issue.
Just need an invite now...

Just installed AndyX ICS ROM v3.1 and its brilliant!! thanks for recommending it to me, also managed to install all of the apps i previously couldn't!

Sorry you should have read our next posts on the thread, it turned out to be compatible and be a ROM uncompatibility problem so i guess it's all good now to him.
Btw, AndyX v4.0 is out read the latest posts on the thread from Adesirello though because there's a little issue that will be fixed soon.

Looking for an AOSP rom...

Hi, so I'm looking for a rom that is Sense-free, allows blutooth to work with Sixaxis controller, allows Wifi-Hotspots, and doesn't have any audio routing issues. I currently run CyanogenMod 9 but I'm growing more and more annoyed of the Audio routing problems. Is there anything out there that will truly satisfy my needs? I'm starting to wonder.
Roms I've tried:
Virtuous Quatro and Inquisition. Both did not work because they had Sense hidden in their roms.
ARHD 6.6.7: Did not work because it was already a sense rom (This was my first rom)
CyanogenMod 9: Works with the things stated above, but I'm growing annoyed of the audio routing issues.
So is there a rom out there for me? Or will I just have to wait until a more stable CM9 to come out? Let me know, thanks.

jDrOid's ROMs
Try JDroid Exodized ROM (Without Sense) its an AOSP ROM, wish i can post links,
download it from this site: hox . jdr0id . com
Hope that helps.

That's Sense based
All proper AOSP roms are CM9 based atm, so will have the audio routing problems unfortunately

I've been looking up CM 7 Rom, I found one that looks good. SuperSensation. Do I need to do anything special to flash it on?

I dont really know about you guys, but i am running OpenSensation for like 2 weeks, and never had audio routing problems. But, instead, the battery drains like hell.

Cm7 is Android 2.3 and is dated. I think you'll need to be on a specific firmware to use it, in not sure which

I'd rather have a fully working rom than buggy or broken. Can someone let me know what firmware are you need to run? I have the latest and need to know if I need downgrade.

Have you tried going to any apps that require a microphone? And heavily draining battery is very bad I use this phone all day..

you need to be s-off'ed and downgrade the firmware to hboot 1.17 because cm7 is a GB ROM. Grab the 1.17 firmware here and follow the instructions to flash it here but using the hboot 1.17 file instead

I agree with you, but i'm already trying this ROM on my HOX i haven't faced any issue till now with audio routing. lets just pray nothing goes wrong agai; i had to install this ROM after all the issues i was having with HTC sense.

Finally. Someone who is more concerned with helping than making sure I have a "up to date" rom. Thanks.

Desire s fully working roms

HI!
i think it would be very usefull to have a list of roms that really work on desire s!!!
Like i ve tested saga3d 5.1 rom and fallout evolution 5 rom (both work 100% on my phone) i want u all to tell me which other roms in any android version work 100%!
AND REALLY WORKS MEANS EVERYTHING WORKS

all work on our phone, to what degree you would have too read the threads for each Rom. Start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699450

'Really work'?
Why not try out every rom and and give useful feedback(not "**** this rom doesnt work or this rom EFG is crap i am going stick with rom ABC).
If u just take some time to read a few pages after the rom was release u can know what works and what not(unless of course some ppl decide to post rubbish and useless comment in development section) which just doesn't help the dev or other ppl.

Define 'really work' !!! If it boots, it works ? Or do you want <insert feature here> to absolutely work as it is a must-have ? Or if you want a stable ROM, just don't flash any ROM that says 'DEV' or 'NIGHTLY' or 'EXPERIMENTAL' and stick to released ROMs (atm it is only GingerBread-based ROMs)

Endymion / Reaper for Gingerbread roms or Ice DS / Miui v4 for ICS roms
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app

These are ROMs I've tested and know work OK:
Gingerbread:
- Reaper V3
- Endymion (with Sense)
Ice Cream Sandwich:
- Fallout V4 (Sense 4A) <- in my opinion one of the best and most stable roms out there
- ICE_DS (Sense 3.6) <- Also a really really really good ROM, everything works in this one
Jelly Bean:
- Andromadus: The only major thing not working is the video camera, the rest works just fine.
I've used all of these at some point and they work perfectly fine as a day-to-day ROM with no unexpected reboots or major issues.

Ice Cold Sandwich runs at my DS nearly without any bugs. (the ones present are some related to AOKP, not android itself).

Tnx all but i am sure that there must be more roms for our Desire S
that work 100%.
Please share more

As was pointed out to you previously - why don't you do your own testing and compile your own list to share with the rest of XDA? Or simply read the threads for each ROM and then you will know quite simply if they work 100% or not.

why dont all users of desire s list their roms which they tested here for all new xda members to easily decide which rom to use/flash.
List roms that have fully working hardware(cam,wifi,bt,....), because we need this kind of list.Dont u agree?
bbye

Simply because most of us have tried all the roms and have made our own decisions on what we prefer because everyone is different. Personally I've come to the conclusion that I don't like roms that work 100% because I get bored with it too quick so I like to test half finished and half baked roms

I use fallout v 5.0 the best rom

You're best off with CM nightly.
Other than that I'd suggest Fallout Evolution or Reaper

Well my Rom Desire XS works 100%, I now just need to add a few tweaks like APM battery percentage, and quick settings.

[Q] Is there any 100% stable Rom available for Desire S?

Is there any 100% stable rom available for Desire S? Ive been searching for it and found so many out there but everyone is complaining about every rom out there, complaining about wifi or camera or restarting issues are these roms meant to be unstable or they are supposed to be like stock one? can anyone please tell or guide regarding ICS or Jelly Bean rom i can get without getting in trouble as ive never ported my phone before, thanks!

There is nothing in the whole wide world nobody is complaining about.
To topic: there are roms that are way better than stock. Most people having issues don't know what they are doing.

I've used most roms and most stable 3 are cm7 ,virtuous unity and fallout
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

Fully stable ROMs that I've used and liked are:
Gingerbread (Android 2.3):
Endymion
Reaper
Cyanogenmod 7
Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)
ICE_DS 4.3 (fully working!)
Fallout (not 100%, missing wifi tethering, but every single other thing works).
Hope this helps!

you mentioned ICE_DS 4.3 (fully working!) can you send me the link from where i can get the guide and download it? I've stock 2.3.5 on my Desire S with Sense 3.0, thanks!

i found this is this right:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the following stable ROMs?:
Cyanogenmod 7
Endymion
Fallout
Reaper
Virtuous Unity
Alternatively, where can I find a straight forward comparison of them?

try it yourself.
Don't let other ppl's preference determine what suites you, if I ever did that then i would be stucked at rom A, and i wouldnt even bother to try rom B.
Even though i read that there were many issue with rom C i still tried it out, and the issues they mention didn't appear in my phone. So my current rom is now rom D.
So then rom B had an update, so i back-up my current rom then restore rom B then updated it. I didnt like it so i went on to try rom E which was one of the lattest developement.
Take ur time to try it all, because once u tried everything u will get bored as i am now and just waiting for the lastest update to come.

I'm pretty conservative when it comes to changing ROMs.
I know that CyanogenMod 7 comes with integrated OpenVPN and WiFi tethering if I recall correctly. I consider these two features as quite desirable. I assume that Endymion and Reaper have that too as they are based on CM7, right? Apparently, Reaper is not based on the stable CM 7.2 release but then, on the other hand, it has been advocated as very stable. So, why has the developer then promised a final release?
I'm scared of losing my apps and data when changing ROMs. What ways do you guys use to ensure that your can restore everything to working order after you've flashed your new ROM?

Does the free version of TB suffice?
Any recommendable TB beginners guides out there?

yes, perfectly good enough. You just won't have the batch function. But it's easy to use and has a simple ui. I will say this though, if your going to be flashing roms regularly then it is more than worth paying for the full app, I paid for tb and Rom manager on the day I unlocked my bootloader, and haven't once thought that maybe I shouldn't have

Use HTC stock ROM
Sent from my Desire S

Well, in that case, stock Rom suits best for u. IMHO, the loveliest part of Rom developing is that someone found issues and someone trying to fix it. That's what Android Dev really is. And I enjoy using all kinds of Roms developed by those awesome HTC Saga developers. Every Rom has some bugs, and it doesn't matter if they don't affect your daily use. Enjoy them I'm currently using CM10 by nexx. Rant too much...:banghead:

Another Vote for Ice DS
Version 4.4 + the new tweaked kernel = a big improvement over 4.3.
As a based-on-stock rom I think it' the choice for you.

I don't agree with that.
I had to disable the SIM-code, because every couple of days, my HTC crashed and Restarted.
(if you don't know that, you don't get call's because of the simcard-code).
That was the reason I bought a new smartphone (xperia U).
Since the HTC was in my desk-drawer, I began to experiment with rooting/changing ROM
Now I have fall-out for 2 weeks now, and my phone hasn't crashed 1 time.
So for me, custom ROMS are more stable than the stock one. (and faster, smoother, ...)
It just feels like a whole new phone.

Anybody knows witch ROM is the best for Battery Life ?
It should be ICS and Sense 4.0 ... At the Moment i have the "Project X" installed

Try ice ds...I am getting on an average close to four hours of screen time on a full charge...that's the max I have ever gotten on any Rom ics or gb...
