Ok, I was an early adopter of this phone bought it the day it came out July 18th. There are a great many things that disappoint me about this phone, main thing being lack of Froyo at the moment. I'm tired of waiting for samsung, I have little faith it will truely resolve my issues which are the following
In order to use wifi I must reboot my phone, this only occurred after the official JH7 was loaded on it through the over the air update that ATT did.
Constantly having lag all the time, and having apps running that I never ever use and dont want such as ATT Navigator, ATT Family Map, etc. I was able to root the phone and get rid of those but it really hasnt helped.
My stereo bluetooth headphones must be paired EVERY single time I want to use them, its not the headphones because they work perfectly with 4 other devices.
Of course the GPS, it sucks for everyone, any of these or all fix that? Samsung seems unwilling.
So maybe I'm wishing too much but I've watched almost every youtube review of the ROMs that are out there and theres a few details that stick out for things that I want in a rom so I'll detail them here and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction as to which one has the best combo.
1. froyo based, I need 2.2 for certain apps
2. I've heard theres different modems that can affect HSPA, I want fastest download and upload.
3. No wild color schemes, I dont like orange or green. I quite like the look of the phone I think samsung did a great job with the touchwiz and I know theres alot of you out there that perfer the "vanilla" versions of Android. I'm not one of those people. I really loved the look of the cognition rom and some of the things it had visually.
4. Overclocking would be nice but not at the expense of battery life, I'm right in the 24-30 hour range just as most are on here, better would be great if possible.
Go to romkitchen.org and build your own there. There are many threads about the advantages of one modem over another, and you can pick pretty much everything yourself. Then search for CLShortfuse's GPS fix and you'll be set.
Don't worry, its extremely easy

24-30 hours of what kind of use? There are a couple roms out there with stock appearance
Cognition
Perception
Precision
Andromeda

30 hours, you have to consider what you are asking. I want faster dl, no lag, better gps, but I don't want to eat any more battery. It is possible to get 30hrs of light to moderate use. Heavy use will yield 12-18
Andromeda v1.2 is a rom that is pretty vanilla....simple and has the things your looking for. You have to try roms that you think will be what you want.

+2 for Andromeda 1.2.
You can fix all of these if you root the phone. The best ROM out there is the Rom Kitchen (aka "Doc's ROMs") over at romkitchen.org. You can "cook up" your own ROMs using the specifications you want. This is what is so great about the ROM kitchen, especially when compared to the other ROMs like Cognition: you can pick what you want, and don't have to take whatever it was that someone else decided was best. For example, if you want the benefits of rooting but want to keep touchwiz, the ROM kitchen has an option for that. It also lets you pick things like the theme, boot animation, apps, etc. There are 5 captivate modems, and you might just have to experiment to see which one is best. I did this, and it was well worth it. The one that worked best for me was the XXJPP modem. Just load a seperate ROM with each of the different modems, flash each, and download a few things to see which is faster. Also check and see how well the GPS works on each.
Rooting will fix the lag, although one of the ROM kitchen kernels (Glitterball's Voodoo) will improve it even further. There is something called "Project Voodoo" which is a community of developers who build a kernel tweak called Voodoo which completely fixes the remaining lag issue (this is caused by the inefficient way the captivate organizes its folders), and also improves a few other features such as resolution.
You should go try out my ROM its small and fast and stable. I'm getting great battery life and DL/UL speeds. Give it a shot.

Well I decided to go with the serendipity 5.9, I love the speed, my upload and download speeds almost doubled, bluetooth and wifi finally work like they are supposed to!!
I do have a few complaints though, like the keyboard for texting, I loved the samsung one, I hate swipe any way i can get the stock one back on there?

I just found that, wow, short of having a flash on the camera and video chat this phone is now everything I could have ever dreamed of
Holy crap what a difference. Everything actually works and is super fast. I would be on cloud nine right now except for the fact I'm probably soon getting the Atrix, this will def hold me over till then.
Im using Precision 3.5 with the monochrome 3.5 theme. Its running the latest suckerpunch kernel. For sure my favorite combo I've tried so far. Its really amazing, not to mention dev'd by ryude, who is one of the best!

Samsung Captivate running Serendipity 5.12 Paragon6 1200-100hz (uv'd and slightly oc'd) and I9000XXJVE modem. Almost have it edited/themed up how I want it. Need to get started on custom icons and I think I want to try my hand at a completely custom framework. Anyway, I was perfectly happy with 'dipity out of the box, but since I've flashed Paragon this phone is AMAZING. It's quite fast and the battery seems to last forever. Just now recharging for the first cycle after having to reflash my rom w/o a full battery, so after today I'll know for sure how long the battery last, but initially it seems like I'll get a day or so with my daughter constantly playing video's and games all day.

I wouldn't mind knowing either. I'm thinking it's a different launcher, but I'm only guessing. Still kinda new to android.
So when the Inspire 4G first came out, I joined from the dark side (iPhone)... and rooted for the first time. I tried InspiredHD and Android Revolution, but this was back when they both had the tinny audio, so I ended up going back to the ATT Stock Rooted ROM because I wanted my audio back.
Now several weeks later I see a bunch of ROMs available, several of which are Android Gingerbread ROMs. Which are the best? Is there a guide that compares their features that are updates on the daily basis that seems to be how often they're updated?
What do you recommend? I'd like one which is Gingerbread and still keeps the HTC sense, I do like my sense. I'd also like one that had the original audio quality, not the tinny audio that came with the preliminary ROMs.
Any advice\opinions would be appreciated.

desire hd coredroid v4 for inspire 4g VS stock rom.
Personally I know that the stock rom to date has best battery life with setcpu.
I am using coredroid and it is very nice, but of course, it has terrible battery drain. 5-10% drain every 45 min.
It would be nice to have a custom kernel or some fix because it is a great rom, the looks and layout is nice.
It does have a fuzzy speaker sound .
I would suggest staying stock for a week or two, until the devs work out the bugs.
There is always a fix for most everything.

Thanks for the tips, yeah I was afraid of the battery drain. I was afraid it might be an issue. The battery is already bad with Stock ROM, I can't imagine it being any worse... 10% every 45 mins, yikes, that's a battery in 8 hours... lol.
I thought the speaker audio issue was resolved. Is this still not the case in 4.0?

As for application's I always do a clean install that way I know everything is right, not like it is all that hard to do.
My battery is lasting a complete day with this rom.
As for sound issues, people think that this is a large home speaker, it is a phone and the speaker works just fine. I listen to Pandora for three to four hours and it is fine for me.

Why would you do a clean install if you don't have to? Seems annoying to have to re-download and re-position apps every time a ROM is flashed.
A complete day for most is less than 12 hours... and if a phone lasts 12 hours sitting unused, it's really not ideal. Considering most people have a hard time getting a full day out of the Inspire 4G even without Mod's, I really don't want to change to anything that'll give me less battery than I already have, hehe.
I wish you luck my friend but this thread belongs in general, not development.

Because the Dev's say to do a clean wipe if you read the post from them and did I not say Pandora for three to four hours, not exactly unused, plus calls that I receive??? Plus do what you want you asked I responded as for anything else I could care less, it is working fine for me.

Calm down...
Speaker Issue: You can say it's a small speaker all you want, but it's still a quality speaker, and the digitized sounding issue was a major issue to me when the first ROMs came out. I don't expect surround sound and bass, but the stock ROM doesn't sound at all digitized\tinny.
Sorry I missed the Pandora comment. Not sure how you stream 3-4 hours a day without a recharge, considering that time of streaming would beat what the phone's battery and radio are capable of doing, but hey, more power to ya.
And for the record, the expression is "I couldn't care less" ... People who say "I could care less" are just repeating improper usage of the english language rather than thinking about what they're saying.

Incorrect. This is a development question. "General" is designed for things like "What speeds are you getting..." kinda thing. Anything ROM related goes in Dev.

Have you done the battery reset procedure to ensure that your battery is being used to its full extent after installing the new ROM? If not, that may be your issue.

Battery reset procedure?!?!?!
Is that like those pieces of tin foil that used to "protect" me from my phone's radiation back in the 90's? LOL
Do explain, or provide link please....
Try something new
If you are really looking for AUDIO, give MIUI a shot. I have tried every ROM out there for the phone and I always end up with either Android Revolution 4 or MIUI. I like sense a lot, thus the AR4. But I often flash over to MIUI because the customizations are great, the themes are fun to play with, and the audio is louder than stock. Battery life is good, not quite stock but not as poor as CM7.
I would also try CM7. Fastest ROM out there, but ASOP reminds my of my old droid x and I can't do that anymore. Neither MIUI nor CM7 are sense and you must install an alternate home launcher if you want scrollable widgets.
My final $.02- try them all. With back ups from ROM manager, you can have several on your sd card!

Rchdmix v3.4 works good for lots of people
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Prem App
Any gingerbread rom right now is going to have battery drain. It is a leaked version from htc, and the source hasn't been released, so there isn't and custom kernel support for it. Modified stock is good, but honestly the battery life on a modified stock isn't going to be nearly as good as a rom based on 1.8X built by Sergio or Mike. Depending on what your doing you on the phone the drain is anywhere from 256-350ish ma, while in standby it stays around 4-6ma on say Android Revolution v3.1 or Coredroid v3.2. In call audio after flashing the sound fix is not going to be stock but it is going to be very close. There will be a sound boost on the outside speaker, so it will be easier to hear it ring. Make sure when you flash the sound fix after flashing a rom or a radio that you wipe the cache and devilk cache.
If ginger bread is what your looking for I would wait, if customization, performance and battery life are what your looking for flash AR v3.1 or Coredroid v3.2
I am not going to tell you how long the battery lasts when I use it cause how much I use my phone may be quite a bit different from how you use your phone, so to say that it lasts so many hour when I do this or that is trivial. But it is certainly longer then stock.
As to what section this should be posted in, it should be general since it's a question, and we have no Q&A section. Development is mainly for ROMS and Fixes, and Themes in apps are mainly for themes, apps, splash screens and boot animations.
Keep in mind you can give all the roms a whirl, as long as you make a nandroid back up with cwm you can flash any rom you like, and if you don't like it then use your nandroid backup to return to exactaly how your phone is right now.
I see some people commenting on how bad battery drain is. Is it really that bad for you? Did you have the captivate prior to this phone? My battery last me all day and into the next day with wifi on. I text a good bit and surf the web. My captivate could barely last till I got off work, this phone I can go to work next day with it on same charge and charge during the day

Thanks, I'll give this process a whirl.
For a first place, im sorry if there is a thread like this, i tried to use search, but i have found nothing. SO, what im asking, is a stable, fast, without any huge changes (to help batery last for long) and simple rom for my x8. i dont want to try all these roms out there, cuz it takes much time. Im willing someone will suggest me one. Thanks in advance.
CM7 is the one for you (i think). Simple and fast.

I tried it, but somehow it discharged my battery in like a half the day. Maybe i need to configure somehow or smth?
I currently have a HTC Sensation on T-Mobile US and I was wondering what are the differences between the ARHD T-Mobile ROM and ARHD 6.6.5XE (My current version). Is battery life, reception, or data improved in any manner? Would I lose Beats audio?
Battery life is horrible. It goes from 100 to about 10 percent in about an hour of use. With nothing but WiFi on. It goes from about 75 to 10 percent in about 2 hours with the screen off. I am very disappointed in all sensation roms. In MY opinion none of them work right. I am sure someone will say I need to be kicked off because I stated my opinion. My opinion is that they don't work right. I superwipe and let it sit for 10 minutes each time I flash but all the roms never work right for me. No beats audio but also in MY opinion its just a marketing gimmick. Why waste 17 mb of storage to have one sq setting when you can download an eq from the market and set it any way you want?
I never have had that bad a battery drain with any of the ARHD roms. However the big difference, in my mind, between the tmous and the xe rom is the radio. Yes they both use the same version of the radio but the radio is set to to dish 2 on the tmous rom, better signal and strength in the tmous in the US. Also the xe does have beats but as said before you can download an eq from the market.

Custom rom in my opinion is MUCH better than stock. More options, smoother, faster, better over all experience! This is my honest truth.

I don't know why my battery life is so horrible. I hate it. If I leave it sit with screen off and set CPU turned down it will still die within a couple hours. Lately the phone has not been ringing. It was rebooting after I tried a new kernal. It would restart every time I hung up from a call. It would be nice if the battery wasn't so weak. I've had this phone for less than 90 days and I got it brand new. It is MY PERSONAL opinion that these custom roms keeps to be worked on more. I can't remember where it was that I saw it but there was a whole list of bugs for a certain rom that was months old and none of the real bugs never get fixed. Everything was still in red and one thing that was in green highlights I guess that had been "fixed" was that the play store had been updated to the latest. As if people can't do that themselves when they install a new rom. I could be wrong but in my opinion nothing in a custom rom truly gets fixed. I have problems with the stock browser in elegancia. It only goes to google when I try to do a search. I have other problems too. Arhd works pretty good but this battery sucks. Truthfully I'm done with custom roms. Next phone I get (if its even another android because again in my opinion all android phones suck, maybe its just the os but everyday I realize that android is not really such a great thing to have) anyways next phone I get will be reasearched

I've never ever had a negative experience with Any Rom I've choosen. You are not forced to root nor are you forced to use custom rom. So I feel your anger and flaming are not necessary. In my HONEST opinion I love Android OS and love the choices of available Roms. No offences but I don't understand why you are still using Android if you hate it so. I was just stating my opnion and their is no need to become ABUSIVE to me. Android gives us more options than any other system, its open source, also the Roms have proven MUCH more stable than the stock systems in my experience. I don't have constant rebooting, its faster, more options, smoother and looks better. It's a all around better experience. Nothing to attack me personally about.....you sir have anger issues.... I refuse to stoop to your level and flame back at you! I stand firm in my opinion of Android and custom Roms. There is a simple solution for your issues, simply get a different device and operating system and be done with it.....there is no reason to be so angry....I have my opinion you have yours. Personal attacks are not necessary and are juvenile......so leave Android and be happy in what ever else you choose...

I never have had that bad a battery drain with any of the ARHD roms. However the big difference, in my mind, between the tmous and the xe rom is the radio. Yes they both use the same version of the radio but the radio is set to to dish 2 on the tmous rom, better signal and strength in the tmous in the US. Also the xe does have beats but as said before you can download an eq from the market.

You honestly are one of the only people to actually give a helpful response. Thank you. Any comments on battery life? I can always get through a day with 6.5.5 but I'm interested to know if the tmobile ARHD will provide any benefits.
Sorry for the long absence, the ARHD t-mobile rom has given in my opinion about the same battery life as the 6.5.5 does or did. The only actual benefits in the tmous rom is the signal I feel is better due to the dish setup. But if you're half savvy with a computer and adb you can change dish setups yourself.

Battery life is horrible. It goes from 100 to about 10 percent in about an hour of use. With nothing but WiFi on. It goes from about 75 to 10 percent in about 2 hours with the screen off. I am very disappointed in all sensation roms. In MY opinion none of them work right. I am sure someone will say I need to be kicked off because I stated my opinion. My opinion is that they don't work right. I superwipe and let it sit for 10 minutes each time I flash but all the roms never work right for me. No beats audio but also in MY opinion its just a marketing gimmick. Why waste 17 mb of storage to have one sq setting when you can download an eq from the market and set it any way you want?

I had the same problem as you. I bought a replacement HTC battery for an Evo3D on eBay, and my battery life problems are gone. You probably need a new battery.
hey guys total newbie here, so ive got "CloudyG2 2.2 " on my phone and its kind of disapointing to me since the phone get a bit warm whiles im gaming ang the battery life isn't was i was expecting. I would like to know is there any other rom wich is way better or is there any rom wich is like the "best" out of all? i would really like to know so that i can install it on my g2 to try it out thanks...
Your question will not get nice answers. ROMS are like women, all different, all alluring, but with different features that appeal to us differently. There is no best rom; look at the threads of the main roms out there, and you'll have to decide for yourself.
I've been on cloudy 2.2 for a long time, and my battery life is amazingly good. I don't play games, but I use it normally (emails, sms, web searching). Perhaps you have wakelocks and apps that are draining your battery (FB app, groupon, location, Bluetooth, twitter, etc). Those types of apps are constantly listening and connecting to servers.

ok thanks for the reply i understand you, but right now im kind of stuck and "soft bricked"
You could flash cloudys latest, 3.3. Cloudy is a great developer and dont get sour on his rom becausenof your situation.
Or flash your current rom again; start over and flash it again. Roms can behave funky, and refreshing is not a bad thing to do. Clean up your apps after, and give the rom a day or so to settle down.
