hi i just purchased a inspire yesterday and had a captivate before hand. going to root my phone and wondered what people here think is the best rom for this phone ??
I really liked CoreDroid a lot and used it for a week or so then switched to cyanogenmod7 for a few days. Definitely prefer CoreDroid over cm7. Now I'm running LeeDrOiD and think I may prefer this over the other two.
Just find a few you like and try them out for a while. You'll figure out which is best for you

What do you like about leedroid? I saw it has a larger speaker boosts... are the notifications noticeably louder? Give me your low-down on LD
If you want no frills and solid, snappy performance and response...I highly recommend Ingersol ROM.
Maybe its cause I'm older, but I really dig that ROM.
i use to run cognition on my captivate it was a pretty good rom
I like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033434 its also the only GB rom specifically built for the inspire 4g but it doesnt have some of the cooler stuff but its got insane speed
I've only been using LeeDrOiD for a few hours so I can't say much. Initially everything appears to maintain the stock sense look without the graphic tweaks from CoreDroid. Battery seems a little better with LeeDrOiD but it's still too early to tell.
My first LeeDrOiD flash ended up with me stuck in a force close loop that I attribute to my own mucking around in the build properties file. I reflashed and it seems fine so far but I haven't rebooted yet after reinstalling my apps.
I went with LeeDrOiD because it seems to have more under the hood tweaks and optimizations that I like. If this isn't satisfactory ill probably be back to CoreDroid.
As far as audio, it seems about as loud as cm7. CoreDroid was louder if I remember rightly and my ears don't deceive me. That may just be from different test sounds though. Seems plenty loud on LeeDrOiD though.
EDIT: Just did some more test listening to LeeDrOiD.. seems about the same as I remember CoreDroid being. I've also rebooted the phone the the force close loop is not there. Must have been my own fault before, thankfully.

Bubby's one click is what I used. Quick and easy, but you need to follow the instructions TO THE LETTER. 99% of the issues people have with bubby's program is because they skip, tweek or misunderstand steps.

Yes. This. Watching the YouTube video also helps a lot. Even for the more experienced users its a good thing to even check out. There are small little steos, like closing out of the terminal app on the phone with the back button, that may go overlooked.

I made a gold card using the SimpeGoldCard GUI and then used Bubby's tool.
ROM: RCMix 5.9x series (with Sense, but has 'extra' to go senseless). It's also CWM enabled for OTA updates now.
sense isnt to bad as a launcher i used touchwiz before cause of the captivate. way more steps to root compared to it. but as long as you follow the steps its all good
think I might switch from captivate to inspire. what's the main difference, OP?

i like it so far. got more ram then the captivate. more gingerbread roms then the cappy from what i scene. rooting is more difficult but if you follow the developers directions is pretty easy. the one problem i have is removing the batter cover and sim card its a pain in a butt lol. but i would consider it a upgrade compared to the cappy. of course the sgs2 may come to att so u may wanna wait for that if your upgrading the phone.
CM7 or anything based on it in my opinion, but I hate every manufacturer UI.
CM7 Inspire 4G

Does anyone know if the No-sense script from AndroidRevolution will work with Leedroid or other sense roms?
Doubt it. I'm pretty sure that script is meant for android revolution's framework. If you do decide to do it, be sure to make a nandroid backup or do what I do and keep the rooted stock rom on my SD. That way I can just flash it in hboot

Ya, i was thinkin, either it would just work, or it wouldnt. Just been trying out alot of roms lately, i really like leedroid, but not sense. But so far, after realizing that, i guess im not supposed to install flash on AR, cus its already cooked in. Its been runny supafast! Just cant get any modified status bars to work, know any?
Which rom are you on? I don't exactly know, but I looked in peoples signatures and there's links to battery percent mods and stuff like that

AndroidRevolution, the ones i tryed where in their thread.
yeah thats what i was going to say.
If you dont like sense I highly recommend gingerbeast. Very fast, everything works, and amazing battery life.

That's too bad. I have no issues with wifi signal. It's weird how things can differ so much from one phone to another.
Have you tried the No-sense that di11 made? Not the AOSP.

Ran it for about a week and loved it, then he released his AOSP.

My mom just got an Infuse 4G last night. She's unhappy with the stock ROM (rather, she's not liking it). Realistically I am using this opportunity to break the woman into smartphones, and the Infuse 4G is a great one with a screen that she can read (I love the look of that AMOLED, it's making me want a Samsung when it's time to upgrade).
The question is, which ROM is the most user-friendly? If you read my sig you'll see I have an Atrix 4G myself and am currently running an Alpha ROM so you'll know I am no stranger to the mod community. I just don't want to go from ROM to ROM to ROM showing her each one, wasting my entire day reflashing her phone. If anyone can come up with one or two suggestions for me to try for her, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm looking for something ICS-like, smooth as butter, and not over-the-top like some of the Atrix guys like to go. Thanks for your help!

Imho, find out what she wants out of the phone and tweak it with apps. Stick with stock froyo and avoid the grief.
Ex. Big text battery indicator to show battery. Business calendar is better than stock. Go launcher is better than stock. Show her how to put direct dial shortcut on the screen etc...show her the widgets.
Leave the rom alone because everything works.
From my experience, it's the app and how to use the phone...not the ROM
For better battery life, odin flash one of the stock gingerbread leaks and leave it. KK4 leak would be OK. KL2 is better but tw30 is messed up on it. I like the stock froyo but the battery life sucks.

See I'm attempting to throw CatyRom on it, the ICS app tray is really what I'm after. Something like that would keep it simple for her to find things without having to go through the app drawer which is what has overloaded her in the past. She absolutely refuses to use an iPhone because of this.
Catyrom is good...don't get me wrong. .just know what your doing when flashing is all bro...and thanks for choosing caty

Hah. I thought this thread was a joke when I read the subject line.
Well at this point it we have a handful of really good stable, infuse based roms. So it's all about what color she wants really lol.
Have her take a look at the screenshots for : Zeus, Caty, Bionix, Numas, Victory rom, or infused(old one but a goodie). And pick which one is astheticaly pleasing to her.
Nah, no joke. I made some modifications that allow single-touch activation of apps/tools but other than that she seems happy with Caty. She's a blue person, so it worked in my favor.
It seems odd that someone who has had no experience with smartphones minus playing with someone's iPhone and hating it would want to jump head-long into the ROM world but she's seen the difference it made in my phone. ICS on my Atrix is great, and I am hoping that one day you guys get it running on the Infuse, it seems like a good phone and you folks seem like an intelligent bunch.
Zeus (gb rom).
Plus:
Bluetooth and wifi are working good. Good battery. GPS is good.
Minus (common to ALL gb roms):
HDMI out does not work
i'm running TPC v3 right now and don't really feel like switching, the only things I miss on this ROM versus the others i've flashed are xloud and the bravia engine... is there a way to install these on my device without having to flash a whole new ROM?
Sent from my SGH-I727R using XDA App
basically, no. Sorry
well... nuts. I think i'm going to stick with this ROM regardless.. TPC is just too good on battery, speed and stability.
I might do some dissection on the wifes phone to see if I can't find a method for installing these.
thanks dude. you're one of the posters that I always pause to read keep on keepin' on

good to know my opinions and advice are appreciated :-D. As for this rom, its my personal favourite as well, at least until ics
fingers crossed we get it soon, not so much for the update itself, but what people will be able to DO with it.

Will this work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389178
nope, unless u flash cm7, but the alpha build for our phones is still really buggy, so I wouldn't recommend it
As brief as possible:
A few weeks ago my girlfriend asked me to throw ICS on her phone, i'm just a novice when it comes to rooting but i mean it's all self explanatory.
The only problem i ran into was finding a working ICS rom. I didn't know what xda was till this was all over and done with.
So i flash ICS 4.03, a ROM that appeared to have everything working camera/youtube/facebook/ the works (and it all did work). It's all peachy until i get this text where she says the keyboards all laggy. She's tried tons of android market keyboards and nothing really solves her problem, and shes just been seeing her phone deteriorate.
I don't have access to her phone seeing as it's hers and all, but she's asked me to fix it this coming weekend, and i don't really want to give her back that old sense 2.1/ gingerbread stuff she had. But i also don't want to give her some super fancy ROM that this phone apparently can't handle. I've read all the ROM Q&A's but with out the phone with me i can't really try them all myself, and i can't know if don't try them myself.
So my question is which ROM runs the best on this phone and preferably isn't a downgrade from ICS, or at least is better than her old firmware. Or if there's a better ICS ROM with none of these issue's, but i've been hard pressed to find it.
Sorry if i was non specific.
I've had no problems with redemption 1.2.7 it is ics with a lot of customization.
