I have an Inspire that is rooted,and after 5 different Roms for1 day each, I have settled into the revolution ROM and it really works great.I have my unlimited plan4G (most of the time I think)and I have my tendering. My question is when running the "sweetest.com" application I get 331 down and 783 up inthe evening and 2592 down and 1447 up in the morning until about noon,is this network congestion? Is there a different radio mod or flash or something that software locks the radio in HSUDA mode or whatever is making it that fast?? If anyone knows of a setting or .apk that addresses this or a setting possibly I would appreciate it,or an explanation if its not a tweakable thing might save hours of obsessing over trying to fix it.Thanks, Vegas

Yeah, the slow speeds at times are due to all the iphones tying up the network.

Funny, but I notice my speeds do the same. But most of the time it's relatively good.
I definitely think this is network congestion. My best speeds are late at night (usually about 2.5 down/1.5 up). Most of the time my upload stays about the same (between 900k and 1.5mb), but my download goes anywhere from 400k to 2.5mb..or lower
So 2.5 down is the fastest I can expect and the radio with the Revolution ROM is the Best one I could be using? I have heard 4G was capable of 6mbps,No..Anyone?? Is it gonna get better in phases,anyone know the truth?Vegas
I got my Inspire on release day at 11:00am when BB opened and by 3pm i ran the ace hack kit and it was rooted and had a DHD ROM flashed on the phone. For the first week there was not a whole lot of ROM's or options, but week 2 and 3, they popped up like a bag of popcorn.
The first set of ROM's and kernels (Desire HD ROM's) left people with dingy sound, no you-tube or any video support at all for that matter. Other people experienced Wi-Fi problems as well. Different fixes and patches came out fixing most problems, except sound seems to be the biggest headache trying to find the right combination of audio settings, drivers, etc.
My favorite ROM was CoreDroid, basically because the theme is beautiful, but no matter what radio/kernel I used It took literally 15 minutes to get a satellite lock. I tried faster fix from the market, I went into the system to make sure it was set to North-America and not Europe nothing worked.
Android Revolution is another awesome ROM, however, I had Wi-Fi issues. "Obtaining IP Address" is as far as it would get before finally disconnecting. Once again I flashed different radios and kernels and still no go.
What I finally kept is the Stock ROM Optimized Rooted and to make this ROM super responsive I used LeeDroid's 1.8Ghz Kernel. I use SetCPU and keep it at 1.267Mhz. (1.6Mhz when playing games or multitasking. Never locked up) I can open my app drawer and give it one flick, and i can watch 90 apps zoom by in less then a second with no hesitation ever. It's very fast, very smooth, no force closes, Gps hits 9 satellites in less then 15 seconds we have full lock, mobile data is 3.8 down, 2.2 up (average) bluetooth file transfer works, and voice activated dialing, sound is perfect, and for people looking to tether, just get wireless tether from the market. It does Wi-Fi and bluetooth. I tethered to my playstation 3 just to see how well it would do a HD netflix stream, and it was flawless. Never had to stop to buffer.
I'm also on the stock radio which is 06.04.06_m, Everything is so smooth and perfect I see no need to change until AT&T releases there version of gingerbread and it has ROOT access. The problems I have had with different ROM's are isolated and doesn't mean your going to have the same problem. It's weird but that's how it works. 2 exact phones, both running same setup, can have 2 totally different problems. Just the way it is in Flashing Land.
I'm no Pro, just giving my opinion and facts with my particular unit. The different ROM's seems to be like the captivate. You gain something, you lose something.
Super Circle Battery Icon works great as well. Get it here
3/16/2011 - Version 2 flashed without a glitch. Wireless, Gps, mobile data, all work as well or better. I also flashed LeeDroid's 2.2. 6 o/c kernel and everything is dead on. Great Job
That's all I want to do it root it, increase the volume and get wifi tether working. Right now if you want to not have any drivers issues it seems like the current on the phone works best Thanks for the info!
I also wanted to increase the cpu speed, did you take much of a hit on the battery?

Not at all, it last all day. Put SetCPU on "ondemand" and when I'm not using phone for awhile I simply type *#*#4636#*#* and set is to GSM only and that's another way to save a lot of battery. I also use a app called easy switch where I can turn off mobile data completely when not in use. I have awesome battery life.
i've been using the cm7 nightlies. i don't particularly enjoy htc sense and rather prefer the aosp style android.
I too am loving the Stock ROM Optimized-Rooted-etc. I've only tried it and a build of CM7, which seemed not quite as smooth as the aforementioned ROM. Additionally, whenever I played the game Rush Hour and got a perfect score, it would always force close [not a problem with the stock-optimized ROM].
I am considering trying LeeDroid's kernel on top of Stock-optimized ROM to boost performance a little more, but I'm a little unsure about the process. Do I just copy his kernel to my sd card and then flash it in CWM Recovery using the "install zip from sdcard" command? I assume a similar technique is used to install the super circle battery mentioned in the OP?
I don't see RCMix HD in the OP. I've been using 3.4 and it's solid. If you look at the thread there's hardly any complaints.
Great write-up. I've been thinking about starting a thread asking developers/users to give a quick description of popular ROMs and go over the pros/cons. It's kind of difficult to sift through 200+ pages of discussions about each ROM and get a clear idea what it's like. Thanks for throwing your 2 cents in. I've been happy with the stock rooted ROM, but I've thought about trying out a couple of others, maybe Revolution, if anyone wants to through 2 more cents into the pot.

I really like the Stock Rom Optimized Rooted as well. I'm not getting as high upload speed as you are, but about 4 times higher than I was getting out of the box. And everything is very smooth onscreen as you mention.
I like Hybrid1.72.zip battery icon with it.
I haven't tried overclocking yet, but after reading your post, that is my next project!

this 4.2 Gingerbread version is pretty good IMO, its GPS is accurate, WIFI no problem.
[ROM]Mar 10[NewSense]RCMix HD v4.2 Blazingly GingerBread | Now with Transparency
Yep, Both are are flashed in recovery, kernel takes about 5 seconds

Could you post a screen shot of this Rom the way you have it setup>?>
does mobile hotspot work right off the spot without any setting changes?
Im building a rom/kernel now based off stock Rom and compiling kernel from inspire source. Already got the extended power menu done, hopefully it'll be out in a few days. Not sure if the kernel will be done or not but hopefully I can get it out at the same time as the Rom.
+1 for Optimized Stock Rom. I liked Android Revolution, but my Inspire would take 10-15 minutes to get a GPS lock. With OSR, I get lock in 15-30 seconds. No downside to this ROM at all for me!

Nice. I used your Captivate ROMs and had great results. I guess I know the next ROM I will be flashing.

I also still use one of your Roms and will without fail try one in the Inspire when you finish cooking!
Right now I'm undecided and switching between Revolution 4 Beta 2 Gingerbread and twopumpchump's Stock optimized with LeeDroid kernel. I'm getting better download speeds with the latter option but both are exceptionally good roms.

Any chance Call Record will work in the Inspire as it does in some of your other roms?
Have you tried the gingerbread test radio?
Hi all
Sorry for posting here but I do not have more then 10 posts.
I am rooted. Running Perfect Storm Rom with the 1.9 Kernal.
Before, When I just had the Perfect Storm rom and the stock kernal....I ran a speedtest. I was getting around 20 mps down and around 35-40 up...AWESOME SPEED
after I loaded the 1.9 in my download speed is fine...but my upload speed is ONLY 8 up
Is there something I am missing? What can I check or do to bring back my upload speed.
Thanks in advance
the insane up is a glitch in the speedtest app because the buffer on the tb is bigger then the file it is uploading, in reality it is about 2-6
Al I know..when I was stock with just the Perfect Storm Rom...I was getting uploads of 35-40 now I am getting 5-8....
so not sure what is going on......
Read the reply.
The Thunderbolt has 768 megabytes of Ram. Most phones dont ahve this much and it causes a glitch in teh app you are doing the test from. If youw ant to compare it, turn off the Mobile option in the browser and use speedtest.net the site, not teh app. Your upload should enver be higher than your download. And who teh hell needs 40 megs up on their phone?
Listen...I read the reply...I just went on Speakeasy...the site not the app.....
only getting 1.5 uop....
If I restore Perfect Storm with the stock kernel....I would get 30-40 up....that is all I am saying!!!!!!!!!
and listen
the 30-40 is not the actual speeds that you were getting, your dl speed should be 5-10x higher than your upload
when you were getting 30-40 you were either using the app or the mobile website. and now either you are using the full website or somehow the rom fixed the issue
YOU HAVE NEVER HAD OVER 10MBS UP EVER
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on what ROM(GB or ICS) thats best for hotspot usage? Also, if its not too much to ask if you guys can post a screenshot of the average speeds you are getting on your laptop/tablet/netbook when you are hooked up?
Thanks guys
I really think this is way too subjective in nature. The main reason I say this is because it doesn't depend on the ROM so much as the following:
1) 3G or 4G speeds by the user
2) Reliability of the network the user has
3) Where the person is (maybe if (s)he moves from the basements to upstairs, the speeds will be faster)
4) What apps are open on the phone
5) Distance from laptop to phone
etc,etc.
Anyways, aside from that, I'd like to point out hotspots are iffy on ICS ROMs, I've found anyways. Between the GB ROMs I never found a difference between any of the ROMs. On AOKP ICS I managed to get hotspots working, no noticeable difference in speeds over GB. However, on AOSP EB and Hellfire it would never turn on. Never tried Genesis.
I was having slow downloads...I even tried complaining to Verizon saying my 3g was going faster than my 4g...they said I might be getting better 3g signal than my 4g...SO...I found this app I paid for and didn't notice much when I had my fascinate and tried it on my CHARGE...Iam noticing download times almost cut in half...iam not sure why...does anyone know of a better internet speed enhancer or notice it being faster when using this app?
simply tweaked 3.o...dressed in adw and other paid apps

I use network signal:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android.telnet
By the looks of that app it is more for signal than enhancement. .
Tweaked 3.0 and Transparent ICS 5.0 Beta
Yeah...I looked at it...this crusader app is working but not sure if it is because it only uses dedicated servers or if it is doing it some other way...like tasker ...or an app prioritizer...I was basically asking if I had been fooled...I don't know much about it
simply tweaked 3.o...dressed in adw and other paid apps
It looks like
1. It uses Google's DNS instead of Verizon's (or whoever the stock is) which is faster by virtue
2. Also creates a local "cache" of DNS lookups for your most frequently visited sites so they load even faster.
Am I wrong? Only scratching the surface? that's all I gleaned from the description.

Well I don't know what happened.
..but the last two test with 4g...this app was getting slower down loads than when turned off...
