Inspire 4G and the cyanogenmod (questions)

Im new to the android community and phones. I bought an Inspire with gingerbread (2.3.3) and would like to add cyanogenmod to it but the tutorials look so "harmfull" they scare me away so i have some question.
Can i downgrade from 2.3 to android v1?
Have anyone here rooted and flashed the same phone I have?
What is "radio? Can I change it to another one? how can I tell if it will work with my carrier?

please, please, please. READ
these questions you are asking concern me
1. you dont downgrade to v1....because it doesnt exist
2. we all have the same phone as you, otherwise we wouldnt have an inspire section
3. there is an entire thread dedicated to this very subject....look in the dev section.
there are easy to follow guides, tutorials, and walkthroughs here, but you have to READ...there is ZERO excuse for not reading and comprehending this stuff. if it is too much for you, you should NOT be doing any of it, and leave your phone stock

This is why I said..im NEW with this... none of what you helped in some way.

then you have some READING to do. nobody here is going to hold your hand.
ALL the information you seek is already here, but you have to READ
Sorry if all you want is someone to hold your hand and spoonfeed information to you
NEW or not, it doesnt matter. I was NEW to this phone when i got it. I READ, the same way i have done with all my other phones. I READ to understand what i am doing and how to do it.
heres the first thing you should have read when you came to the inspire boards:

this question has come up several times in the last month. yes it works just fine

Hi, i just rotted the unit and everything was fine
So i decided to use, cyanogenmod, it installed
now i can make calls but it does not connect to the data network portion.
Any ideas?
I noticed the radio baseband is slighly different than the original. could it be?

Sorry. was quick. i entered the APN settings and it is now connecting.. just Edge....before (stock rom) i had "H" (guessing is 3G). Now it only connects to E (edge i assume).
The weird thing is that before whenever i was in an area with only edge It would not allow me to browse but now I can.
any idea jedi master?

you can try a different radio. look at the radio thread in the dev section

Sorry to bother you so much. I was able to solve the radio issue. Now, since the market app wasn't included i followed the guide on how to install gapps but after doing so i can't get pass the boot screen "touch the android to begin".
I try to wipe and reflash but still does not let me do it. Any ideas?

did you touch the android to begin?

Yes, sir. But it will still restart.
i try to wipe data and restart the process but same thing happens.
Tried taping the four corners and an still happening.
Someone said the the gapps file might be corrupted.
Right now cyanogenmod is a pain. is there a way to install another room or the stock one through recovery?
Thanks for all your help!

boot into recovery
go to mounts and storage
mount usb storage
on your computer, copy the rom zip onto the phone
back,
install zip file from sdcard
browse to rom zip
confirm flash

Thank you. I am downloading RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe.... is this the correct stock?
Does it have to be on ZIP? if so, where can i find stock roms?

no. this will leave you an unrooted stock rom
why dont you browse the dev forum here and look at all the ROM offerings?

I think i will just go with the stock one and the do the same procedure (using the hack kit and just leave it stock rooted....
would that be ok?

[Q] OrDroid update question

Hello,
First of all I would like to thank kgs1992 for his tool and for his help on IRC when I got into bootloop also M3nti0n who fixed it in the end. Thank you both.
Anyway my question is this. I got OrDroid 8.7 and I want to update to OrDroid 9. Do I have to wipe data and everything? Or can I just install and it will keep all my contacts, apps, call and sms history?
Thanks in advance for the answer.

Just do cache +Dalvik wipe and then flash the rom (you won't lose a spec of data)

Got another question about OrDroid. How can I disable the drop down menu when the phone is still locked?

Not possible i think as it's a ICS feature

Question: which is better? OrDroid or PkMn?

i have installed both the roms and tested but i personally prefer ordroid
over pkmon
its a very good rom
eagerly waiting for update

I updated it successfully with everything intact. I got a question though. Linking phone contacts to Facebook doesn't seem to work well. I select the contact link to the facebook contact press save and nothing happens. Then I go into the edit contact and press save and then it links. Can this be done any other way?

[Q] Viper XL OTA update issue.

I recently Rooted my At&t one x and installed the lasted Viper XL. i had an issue during the first flash of the ROM but fixed it by restoring back up and re flashing, however i did not select wipe flash this time to see if it would work, sure enough it worked so i started customizing and exploring what it has. Then i was trying to figure out the OTA feature and sure enough i did not have it. I found one solution which was to re flash the ROM but i do not want to lose all my setting and redo it all again. so the question is...is there a way to get the OTA update feature without re flashing or at least a way to re flash and keep all my settings apps and what not intact?
new to rooting android, feared it for a while after bricking my first HTC one X. Any help is greatly appreciated

I think I know the confusion
When you get an OTA update from Viper, it is obtained by going to System > About > Software updates, exactly the way you would normally on a carrier rom.
If you have downloaded the latest Viper, which will be 3.1.0 , there will be no OTA updates, as that is the latest version
Hope that helps you out.

I'm confused why it's so hard to post a question in the correct section?

Sorry for wrong forum didn't see roms as part of q and a.
So regarding this answer...the ota update feature will only appear when there's an update? I find this strange because there is no way to for viper to check tosee if you have the most current version. But if you could confirm this that would be appreciated

Lots of people put questions in the general forum, and its get a bit annoying. Also, you run a much greater chance of it being answered if you put in the in the Q&A section, and we don't end up annoying the moderators who then move it for you (which it looks like someone has)
Basically, if you sentence ends with a ? it belongs in Q&A, regardless of what you are asking about, ROM or phone or anything else.
The Viper rom is coded to check the Venom Hub periodically for updates, and will end up telling you there is an update available, similar to if a carrier rom had put an update up. I can confirm this is very much the case, as I have had my phone when it was on the 2.xx version, and my phone told me I had an update available, which, when I checked, told me it was a Viper update, not a carrier update.
That being said, I actually have that option unticked, as I keep quite a close eye on the Viper rom thread and know when there's an update before the phone does!! I have no idea how often the phone checks for updates btw.

For minor updates to most any custom ROM, you can just flash without wiping data (factory reset). But always wipe Dalvik and cache. This is called a "dirty flash" by some.
With ViperXL OTA updates in particular, you should just be fine dirty flashing.
If an update to a custom ROM requires a factory reset, the dev will usually say so.

Just go into recovery and flash M9 as well as your custom kernel (if you used one).
And no you would not lose your data.

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.

I'm running a old version of Hyperdrive v6 on a N8013 Android 4.1.2. According to rootchecker, my bootloader is N8013UEUCMC2 and Kernel version is 3.0.31-813049.
I was looking at Gnabo's thread and I'm wondering if I need to flash any of these, Kernel for N801X, WiFi Fix for N801X and Remove phone stuff for N801x, or are those already included in your ROM?
Thanks

I was wondering, you know that page with 6 sections that shows news and side sync. How do I open the news stories? I figured out that you can flip up and down to scroll through different stories but can't figure out how to open the story.
Also, this isn't related to your rom but I've been out of the loop for awhile, can you tell me what is the best current solution for installing flash for websites.
Thanks again, I've been using it a lot for the last few hours after I got wifi working and I'm really loving it!

hi
What recovery you use?
I tried to philz recovery and the TWRP, but the installation takes only a few seconds and nothing in this device.
Sorry for my english...

Tab S Sensation ROm Will Not Install
When I try to install this ROM, I get the following error, am using PhilZ Touch 6 recovery CWM 6.0.4.7.
The error is;
format () expects 5 args, got 4
E:Error in /data/media/0/download_rom/TAB.S.Sensation.V6.n801x.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
I did a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. My internal storage has about 1/6 G free, and the SDCARD has about 2 G free.
What could be wrong, I have downloaded the ROM twice now.
Any suggestion appreciated.
Thanks

what is your device?
try you first apply Gnabo rom? :good:

@AhmedSafian thank you for your hard work. This ROM is definitely the one that made my tab look new. Just wanted to report few things.
(N8013)
1) xposed is not pre-installed? If ever I'll do it manually, which version would you recommend.
2) I installed a HULU app since I do have an account with them, (it's like Netflix) it doesn't run. Any suggestions on what to do with it?
3) Is Sound Alive better than (Dolby Digital)?
