How do i Flash new roms and what else is needed. - HTC Inspire 4G

Got an Inspire 4g for free. Its running the stuff in the pics. Snapchat crashes my phone and i cant receive mms. Im on t mobile because its unlocked(and yes ive edited the APNs). I want to go to Android Revolution HD to see if it atleast fixes snapchat. My question is what else do i need to flash besides the rom and superwipe? Do i need to flash a new radio or kernal? Is there a link to a "Flashing roms for dummies" that i missed? Any info is appreciated!

I4Gs can use DHD ROMs. The Ace Think Tank in DHD General has links to a lot of resources.

Help on installing new custom themes on inspire 4g

Hi, guy. I'm new to android, inspire 4g is my first smartphone. I spent a tone of time learn how to root, radio s-off, sim-unlock my device. I used the "hackerize-ace" package V9. I'm currently using 【rom】 Android Revolution 4G 3.2, 【bootloader】 ace-hacker SHIP-S-Off(something like this), 【clockworkmod recovery】 3.0.0.6 (something like this) 【software version】2.2.1 . I'm having a hard time trying to install a new theme for my phone, can anyone help me out? provide me with more detailed steps? Thank you very much. If you need more information in order to help, please let me know.

What kind of trouble are you having? What is happening when you try to flash the theme? I am assuming you have flashed the rom then a full reboot then flash the theme.
ummm, I flash the rom, then reboot device, then use rom manage to install(in recovery). But, the theme did not appear the same as post. And some places, like the phonebook/contacts list looked mess up.
For your contact list, sounds like a font provlem. Your best bet would be to ask the theme dev.

Make sure you are installing the 1.84 version of whatever theme you choose. That may be your problem.

Hulu Working with stock browser!

This is not my work, all thanks goes to: bigrushdog for getting this working.
I have been searching the forums for a way to get Hulu to work when i found an interesting post by bigrushdog in the Motorola Xoom forums, He has found a way to modd Adobe Flash 10.3 to work with the Hulu website! I can Confirm that it does work on the Inspire 4G and i dont see anny reason why it wont work on the DHD or other devices so give it a try and tell me how it goes.
Link to Original post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076612
Directions to install and get it working:
1: Uninstall old flash versions.
2: download modded flash.
3: Sideload apk, I used android central's "Sideload Wonder Machine" just cause its newb friendly. website for SWM download: http://forum.androidcentral.com/android-sideload-wonder-machine/76171-android-central-sideload-wonder-machine-v-1-2-a.html
4: set up the stock android browzer to "desktop mode"
5: ignore any messages from hulu website saying it wont work (it should work anyways.)
6: enjoy

This is old. Problem is flash apk is modded so Netflix may not work.
Also for users me like Flash 10.3 does not work,. Only a sepecific version of flash 10.2 works. .
But this is great for others.

No, I don't want netflix to stop working.
I tried watching Family Guy, I get the Fox - So Bold intro then it crashes. I'm running LeeDrOiD v3.1.2. I'll try it again after I update to the latest version of the ROM.
fc issues

it FC's sometimes on kingdom rom.
i usually get around it by overclocking or clearing the cache settings.
overclock works best

nah, i was going to let this one ride
Lol Thanks for your answer but maybe you don't understand I'm running miui with stable oc and all..My question wasn't if I could download Rom in our dev section I was asking if rom manager worked with flashing on phones I would like to make something if it doesn't work on our phone .
Example.
I don't know if anyone has an Acer a500 but in the market they have a premium app called Acer recovery. That APP downloads/flashes roms, recovery files, themes, kernels, fixxes, and other needs that is what I would like to do for this device.
Sorry for the confusion.

rom manager works just fine....even my rom is in there.
Yea I just seen that sorry I'm new to inspire but I'd like to create somthing that has those Roms plus these on xda but I'm sure id get shot down with the quickness since Rom manager seems to rule..

you can create whatever you like, it has been tried before, but the de-facto happens to be rom manager.
i would go out on a limb by saying that 85% of flashing is done via downloading the rom zip to the phone and booting into recovery. its kind of what people have been bred to do at this point. rom manager doesnt work well every time, so creating something unique would be a hard niche to snag
Yea I agree I use Rom manager only for a couple of roms back with the incredible but all ways wanted something else.. that I can grab links from the net. Id like to do an app that would do webhosting with updated regularly updated Roms, kernels, radios, themes you know how it is checking xda and Rom manager for stuff it gets tedious and would be great for a app that gives u everything with a push of the button of course is have to find help for such an app great idea ill start development as soon as I can.

Got to agree with PG. I even tell people that use certain rom's to avoid rom manager as it doesn't always work. As for another app of this sort, the hard part is getting the Dev to update it. Mainly sense you can't just add everything without asking permission from each of the dev for the rom, theme, kernel, ext.

Why can't I run stock roms??

I have a question. I can run ice roms and sense 3.5 toms just fine but when I try to run stock roms everything works great except that when I make or receive calls the person on the other end tells me that they can barely hear me that there is a lot of static and or noise like I am driving down the highway with.the windows down. Any idea why this is?? I always root every phone I get the first day I get it so I don't know if this problem was happening before root or not. Thanks in advance

What are the version numbers of the stock roms you are running? If they are desire hd roms then they will not have the correct sound files for the inspire 4g. There are really only 2 stock roms other than the one originally shipped on phone. 2.47.502.7 and 3.20.502.52
Right now I'm running superstock Rom but I have also ran the rooted stock Rom with sense 2.1. If its a problem with my phone then how come call quality is clear with ics or sense 3.5 roms???

It sounds like it isn't your phone since when the right files are installed it works right. Like I stated earlier just make sure the dev is actually using an inspire base when saying "stock Rom". Try and flashing the new Att Rom released on July 31st. And also be sure your wiping everything, (data, cache, dalvik and android.secure). You could even wipe system although all roms do it during installation. And don't flash anything on to it like inspire mod or sound fix. If it is still fail then I don't know what it could be.
Ok thanks will try it

The post says "Our DHD is NOT 100% compatible with the Euro DHD. A rom using their kernel will yield no sound. The downgrade rom is one of those, so you must either flash a compatible rom after this procedure is done, or you must flash a compatible kernel (linked below) to get sound back."
I found this quote above, it seems the the downgrading rooting process kills audio due to uncompatible kernel install. In order to get audio back you need to flash a compatible rom or kernel (DHD or Inspire 4G)
I'm sorry I actually already solved the problem. Thanks for your help though.
