Turning my HTC Inspire into a overglorified media player - HTC Inspire 4G

I've had my HTC Inspire for about 2 years and I've finally replaced it with a new phone. I was thinking about using my Inspire as a music player in the car. Are there any ROMs that people recommend that would be light weight, minimal features, and good for what I want it to do, especially for my aging battery?
Thanks in advance.

tons of options on roms but I don't know that it needs a rom for it... I use mine for music A LOT with a good set of cans (big headphones) and my IME's depending on what i'm doing... I can say that when I flashed to a few of the jellybean roms that my sound quality went to crap... I ended up going back to a stock ICS rom and am happy
if the stock player works for you it would be easy enough to just keep the phone plugged in and use it as is, pick up a big SD card and enjoy your music

Any CM 7.2 variant would give you the best sound quality & battery life

Yeah, I was using CM10.1 and it burned through battery pretty fast. I think I'll give an older CM version a try. Thanks!

ACE VS LeeDroid

these two are my top two ROMs can any one here tell me which one you guys use and why?
I'm thinking about the ACE ROM... because of the ROM manager support. I want to know how good the battery is one VS the other??
I'm running the most current version of leedroid and have been for about a week now it is the best Rom I have found on this site by far! I use my phone for work so it gets used a lot I'm going on 16 hours without a charge and still have 49% left! BTW I did flash the recommended radio they have listed on their post on this site if u need more info just let me know

Let me say it in a nice way before others flame you. This seems like the common thread that is opened: which one is the best or better rom? There is no such thing as that in the android community. Everyone has a different opinion so IMHO that wouldn't help much. Just try both of them out to see which one you like more.
I've used both, and I have to say, the battery life on LeeDroid is far superior for me than on Ace.

Try out each for a time and see how you like them. each one might have different quirks that make or break the ROM. I found Ace more stable on my phone, but tried LeeDroid and had issues with the speakerphone being echoey.
good luck!
Having used both;
Ace - Smooth, no errors, Bluetooth sometimes goes in and out, Signal strength was great for me, Battery was A-Ok. Even when streaming the battery stayed nice and charged.
LeeDriod - Smooth, Fast with the OC , a few errors here and there, FC's here and there for apps. (Sirius will lock up) No issue with blue tooth, Signal strength is so-so for me on this one. Battery life is ok when not streaming, but when plugged in streaming the battery would not gain any charge.
Leedriod prolly looks a little better. But I think Ace is stronger stability wise.
Personally I love to flash the phone to see little things/tweaks each rom brings. But I almost always return to a stock rom.
Basically I do a rom back up for each Rom I install. I configure it and place every app/game on it that I use. I remove anything I hate/don't want and then back it up. I then place the back up on my PC. When I want to go back I copy it to the CWM Backup folder and just recover to it.
Lol I like that... The version of leedroid I speak of is 3.0.2 I find the two roms to he identical. With tweaks done to the operating system it self...
I like that ACE has rom manager support...
But I like that leedroid was built from the ground up and people reporting great battery life...
I'm torn lol
I have flashed all the ROMs and I'm staying with LeeDroid

I honestly wouldn't put too much stock in ROM Manager support. For my purposes, it wasn't a big deal. If you have the XDA app, Lee's FTP downloads are smooth and easy, and it doesn't take much to get them to the right spot with a file manager if you know where you're looking.

that might have been it, it worked after i renamed it. it may have also been an error in copying it over last time. thank
I ran saga before ace.. frankly saga felt better than ace. I can't put my finger on anything specific, ace just had quirks- things not behaving as I thought they should. I changed from ace to leedroid and I'm happy. The only problem I have with leedroid is the volume isn't as loud through the headphone jack as CM7 is.
The main selling point for leedroid was tthe battery saving... But I'm really not seeing much improvement... Its OK but 10hours of normal use Max...
I think that's because of me messing around with the radio flashing and such...
I'm on 3.0.2 ROM with 3.0.4 kernel.. maybe a clean install of the 3.0.4 ROM?? or 3.0.2...

i think i have tried every rom for the inspire. i have flashed no less than 100 times back and forth, and i keep coming back to leedroid.
honestly i have not found ANY rom where there is absolutley NO problems encountered.........but leedroid has a great mix of stability, features, and attractiveness (with a theme i like) so its where i am.

I've been using Ace, it's fast, stable, and battery life is pretty good. I just flashed LeeDroid tonight. It seems pretty fast and stable, and I'm getting around the same data speeds I was getting. Battery life I can't say yet, but I'm thinking it will be better since LeeDroid's kernel runs the CPU a bit faster than stock but undervolted.
please keep me posted on your take on battery life and bugs you might find..
I'm on leedroid 3.0.2 and would love to know how ACE is... I know I should just flash it and try it out my self, but I'm not wanting to move unless I know it's a keeper! lol
I love Ace, stock Sense without the bloat exactly what i was looking for...

Sensation, advantages and disadvantages, solving some issues

I bought and to be fully honest I am not happy with it! I think I will unroot it and try to sell it. Reasons:
ON stock ROM:
1. touchscreen issues (yes solved but let's be honest it's not what you would expect from the phone)
2. working slow (yes comparing to other android phones it does!!)
3. battery life is ridiculous ( I know Anker battery, yes people posting that they get 48 hours, yeah sure, I got 8 hours and investing extra money and keeping extra battery is not convenient, not with that price that you pay for phone)
4. At lest few more or less annoying bugs which happen to most or all of us which shouldn't with that kind of device (like you cannot charge it via USB!!! it simply drain more battery then it is charging!!!)
Custom ROM
1. Not much improvement with most sense ROM-s in terms of speed and battery life, they still share most of Stock ROM bugs
2. Aosp ROM-s do not exist at the moment or have so many bugs (ex MIUI) that they are not worth attention.
So rooting it is more or less useless unless you really need screenshots etc.
Comparing to Wildfire:
1. Battery life 36-48 h on Wildfire (CM7, 12-16 h on STOCK ROM) vs 8-12 h on sensation (any ROM on stock battery)
2. Speed definitely better as I wasn't able to use skype or pdf books smoothly on wildfire because it was so slow.
Comparing to Desire
1. Better battery life on Desire (both HD and S have longer life on sock battery)
2. They work FASTER because stock rom is better and custom ROM-s are better!!! Ridiculous!!!
Summary
For me the most important is battery life then being able to use Skype and PDF-s so I am slightly more happy about it then about Wildfire, but I think Wildfire S might be a better choice. However Deisre is far superior to Sensation in any aspect that I consider important which is battery, speed (pdf, skype), choice of custom ROM-s. If you consider same aspects important, save yourself some money and don't buy sensation. It's full of bugs, battery is a joke and aosp ROM-s are not developed properly.
After good experience with few different HTC phones this one is a disaster!!!
But maybe it's just me!!!

I just got this 2 days ago, as a replacement for the Vibrant, so I have not had time to really play with it yet. Either way, i think its a step up from the Vibrant.
Upon rooting my Vibrant, I could tether, and there were a ton of custom roms that vastly improved the use of the phone.
So are you saying that since on sensation we can tether without the need to root, and the custom Roms are not an improvment over stock, there is no need?
---not flaming, just asking as i have not had a chance to really look into the custom roms. I was assuming that there were plenty of custom roms and they offered many features over stock...; am I mistaken?? again, Im just asking as I was going to root this weekend and throw a rom on there. I have not really had a chance to look at what the custom roms offer over stock. Any ideas?
thanks
I also received a sensation to replace the defective vibrant. It appears that roms for sensation are based on Sense. The development for CM rom is at early stage unlike vibrant. So I am not sure whether rooting will provide additional benefit at this stage with the sense based roms. Could anybody tell me why I should root this phone and install sense based roms.
Hello my friends,
i am so happy to buy the Sensation. Ok its have little problems but whitch phone have it not??
Befor i install a Custom Rom it´s work fine and fast but this was not enough for me (my girlfriend was contented with the stock rom) and with the new Rom it´s going more faster and more batterylife on day.
And are you interessted to play little bit with the Sensation you get a beautiful Smartphone.
Buy a bigger Battery, install a new Custom Rom. Finish.
Yours sincerely
BS
Stock ROM was rather crappy, but I heard (haven't tested) the OTA's bring a lot of improvements both speed- and batterywise.
When the stock ROM is replaced, I think it's an awesome phone. I would choose it any day over a SGS II for sure.

Custom ROM always offer some kind of improvement, but from my viewpoint with available for Sensation those aspects are insignificant, and I don't care about thetering so did not tried it or don't consider it main function for me.
If you think you will get such a nice choice of highly developed ROM-s as for Vibrant then forget about it. There is no serious AOSP ROM if that is what you asking about. If you not sens hater ( I am ) then yes there are decent choices.

I will try insertcoin now, Coredroid was ok but only improvement was in terms of speed. MIUI is a joke with all those bugs. CM7 very early development, again if someone looks for AOSP there is no good option.

Will do but after 3 ROM-s (stock, coredroid, MIUI) I am disappointed with results, and I don't think you should start using your phone from buying battery it is just not right, but simply don't have other option with Sensation.

Unless you need some kind of root only working app like tethering there is no point in doing it I think so don't root it. Sense sucks on both stock and custom ROM, as I already rooted mine I will try 2-3 more ROM-s but I think unrooting and selling this phone is best choice for me

No one bothered with CM7 or AOSP as it was clear ICS would be around very soon when the Sensation was released into the wild.
And still, HyperSensation and SelfKANG are very decent ROMs. InsertCoin is good too buy I didn't like Sense and there were a very versions very power-inefficient back when I switched away from it. Should be better by now, baad is a great chef.

How long did you own a vibrant? Because you should be aware that one the phone has been out about a year longer than the sensation which means its better known... And they have a much more functional ics (so far) also due to this... But if you'd been around very long you would know that we waited forever for froyo and never got cm6 support. And barely got a real functional cm7 in about... August? Maybe slightly before but pretty sure that's when they finally got gps working fairly well. Either way it takes time to get to know the phone and such. I get that it seems like there's very little development currently compared to the vibrant but the vibrant has been around much longer...

SO what is your point? That sensation is here not long enough to have decent rom available. Sry but I don't agree. Or maybe that justifies number of bugs in stock rom and phone itself as well? Or maybe in few months time battery will also start working better? From my viewpoint android phone should be good at stock and even better with custom rom and that is my experience with all HTC devices so far just not with this one. It is terrible with stock rom and not much better with custom rom.

What bugs are you on about? Clearly you have a defective device.

Point being 5 months after vibrant Release people had similar ***** fits... With decent reason. But stock vibrant blew compared to stock sensation. So I don't have a clue what you are getting at.
Yeah considering this came stock gingerbread it'd seem that we should be able to get better rom support but i'm happy enough... You could easily sell the sensation and purchase a vibrant if you really think it's a better device but try odin it back to original stock and use the device and tell me it's better than the sensation...
I agree that cell phones had a lot of issues considering the phones cost upwards of $500 retail its a disappointment we can't get something 100% stable and reliable but this is pretty much any android phone not particular problem of htc or the sensation....

What bugs? Can't you read? I clearly mention at least few and guess what Holmes there is a sticky about fixing touchscreen because it is such a common thing in those phones I can assure you that every single thing I mention here is not unique to my device, I recommend you try search option once in a while. About roms I hate sense and that is it, there is no serious alternative as far as I know unless coding one on my own is considered an akternative then yeach what a great mobile I have..... not. And its not about bashing custom rom programmers I respect their effort and admire there work but it is simple matter of fact that so far all the roms I tested where not half as good as for other HTC devices.

I compared sensation with desire and wildfire and yes I am seriously considering going back to desire and selling it. Will.try 2 or 3 more roms before doing that and maybe another battery but for this price I can easily get something more stable with similar speed better battery life and lots of cash left in my pocket for example desire s or desire HD. There are movies on YouTube that show desire is actually working faster then sensation.

Go for it then for sure. I have found the sensation a decent device and trust it will get support or decent resell value to the avg. User. And minus the speaker being weak compared to the vibrant im happy enough if I got another vibrant cheap enough I might go back till something better on the market but this is much faster and smoother than my vibrant

I Flashed CM10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009) A week ago, and its pretty much bugfree. I had to play around a bit to get the gaaps working, but if you flash from a fresh wipe you should have no trouble reinstalling fresh gaaps.

Is there any reason why you cannot test a few yourself? Its is the only way to find out which is best for you, right now you are finding what is best for other people, not for you
im not with the sensation anymore
but AOKP is the best rom known to man
and since its not officially supported, franks compiled version should be just as good
mEMBER JB
I am now on mEMBER JB 4.1.2.
He had already included the 4.2 app like camera and keyboard... it is pretty good, and the touch is more responsive than the Bruce one (it is base on teh same source but probably he modified slightly the build.prop)
Battery is not yet good enough... I had 15 hour with middle usage, something like 1h and 20 minutes on screen... but the phone seems to be always awake, probably is going to be better ion the near future.ù
Ciao
I like frankinstine's aokp JB for now. U should really try a few for a good evaluation...
Another vote for Frankenstine's AOKP JB (Initiate the Swagger).
I tried Kang's CM10, but something just didn't feel right to me. Went to AOKP (use it on my Kindle Fire as well) and haven't looked back.
Spend a couple extra minutes to flash the 4.2 camera/gallery then install the 4.2 keyboard, and this ROM can't be beat, imo. Runs fantastic OOTB, yet still has lots of customization left if you want to really personalize it to yourself.
There's a link in my sig.

How's battery life in the latest AOKP JB?
My opinion is, try all of them yourself. It's what I did, I had the exact same situation as you. Tried out all the jb roms from cm10, aokp, paranoid, miui, but in the end, came back to arhd, don't ask why

I know why this evening I will go back to ARHD or any other sense based solution... it is not possible to live with 10 hours of battery life, unless we find a solution to have better battery life it won't be possible to have JB for daily usage.

Seems fine, but I also have a 1900mAh battery.
My screen is by far the largest battery consumer @ ~80%.
Mine is 1800, I am on an xe, usually screen is far the largest "consumer" but with jelly bean even with low screen usage kind of 40 minutes my phone is dead.
Unfortunately i have found a wakeloc under proc using ad shell just after I removed jb for miui!
I will probably try the latest aokp and check for wake locks.

CM10
I'm running Bruce's CM10 ROM right now, I'd definitely pick that. I've tried AOKP too but seemed slower and CM10 just felt like a better ROM altogether.

10hrs?!? I dunno how much u use your device, but using Bruce's Cm10, and with stock battery. I get around 22hrs with an average of 2hrs ScrOn, while playing music for about 4hrs (ScrOff) at work. U really have to set it focussing on your need. Battery life beeing the only reason i ever considered rooting my device, I think Cm10 deserves a thumbs up for its BattLife possibilities. Most Rom will be set as balanced between BattLife/Perfomance when you flash it, you gotta stick with a while and learn as you go to see all the little things you can do to shift it toward BattLife.
I use my second devices(same model, htc sensation) to test Roms for a while before I decide or not to switch... and so that my Girlfriend still as a remote for the Home media center of course (she does'nt want to pay the app for her ...argh..IPhone ) and, with wi-fi On, MobData Off, it will
last about 56hrs every charges.
JB, with this rom as beaten all its predecessor for me so far, but then again..that's only my opinion.

I am really happy you are satisfied by Bruce's rom battery. You are not the first one, I read in the forum people having more than 20hrs.
I usually never had -I tried miui based in cm10, member and also Bruce... All based on same source - more than 10hrs.. I would say normal use. 1hr screen, bt on, data on and Wi-Fi... I am not pretending exceptional stats!
After your post I would like to understand how your configuration differs from mine and/or if your hardware differs from mine. Do you know a way to list all phone peripherals with detailed manufacturing numbers?
There should be a reason for the difference and I wanna find it!

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 is really buggy. Which ROM should I use?

I want one Jellybean based with amazing battery life and and that I can change the function of the hardware buttons (so I can set the app manager to the menu key and long hold the app manager to open up the app switcher.) I would like one with good battery life (Cyanogenmod so far has been dying on me quick). Thanks.

BAKED BlackBean and AOKP are good roms.
Could you please specify what's buggy about CM10? And are you sure the poor battery life doesn't simply have to do with the large amount of whites in the interface of AOSP in comparison to Sense?
All cm10 based ROMs have the video Recording mic bug. That's the only thing that keeps me from using cm10 based ROMs.
Baked has the best battery life I've seen so far. I've used everything but paranoid android for an extended period of time.

I used ParanoidAndroid for a while, which is a very nice, smooth running ROM with a good battery life.
As Klin moved to Baked, I followed him and i do not regret Baked is even smoother, nicer and has a better battery life. Simply a great ROM!! :good:
Buggy? CM10 is as stable as any ROM I've ever used. It's been my DD since before it was even officially supported. If you think it's buggy, then the opinions of others really aren't going to sway you, so try them all and pick the one you think as the least "bugs".
Well if this is in comparison to Sense based ROMs, then any jelly bean ROM will feel buggy, as they're all aosp based and all still are wip.

I wouldn't call CM10 "wip", it's called stable now. I assume that means that it's done, basically
Also, even the vanilla Sense rom isn't perfectly stable for me, there are a few annoying bugs, for example getting stuck in airplane mode.
But then again, I haven't got the chance to actually try CM10 yet, so I should probably wait until then before I claim anything

I ended up using 2GB of data for some reason. I looked and wifi disables itself and cannot be renabled unless i reboot. I boot up an app and my screen goes to some static like stuff and then finally boots up the app (which isn't that much of a problem) but the Data issue is really something I would like to fix because I have autoupdate apps on.

I don't know about the mic but what kept me going back from CM to Sense roms is that it would not record videos on 720p or 1080p. It would save them sometimes and when you try to open them, cannot play, and deletes them. Also, the camera focus does not seem to compare to Sense camera, the latter is miles ahead. Seems to be because htc has not released the code for the camera yet.
Gaming seem smoother on CM though, and the interface is smoother/faster than Sense for me. But not being able to use well this great camera is a pity.
Maybe you need to try another baseband? It worked ok for me with the stock from TMOUS 1.53, up to the latest one from OTAs. Also works with the recommended radio from this page: http://ville.giev.de/?page_id=42

Most stable ICS/JB rom?

I picked up a broken infuse and fixed it (just a broken screen, bought one from ebay) for my mom. She obviously doesn't know how to deal with technology but from what I've seen, ICS and JB are simpler than GB, which the phone has right now because it's still stock. So which rom would be the most stable and best battery life?
Here is the most recent thread before today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065830
Keep in mind...ICS and jb don't record well with 720p...it is extremely jittery and frames jump all over the place...your mom may not be happy if she finds this out on her own when she goes to film something
That's the main bug...
They are all pretty much at the same level of stability...but since they are all based off cyanogenmod source cm may be your best bet
I may be a little biased on this (since I used to port it lol) but slimbean is my personal favorite...light weight but full of features...I haven't tried out the 4.2 builds of slim yet as I'm still waiting for an official release...I'm not big on betas but from what I've read its pretty stable

Agreed, I just flashed CM 10.1 12/29/12 ROM, but video recording is still choppy

Its going to be the best ROM is whatever you like test them all make backups,that's what I do.I'll test each one see what I like, battery life is what I look for. Everyone's needs are different.
