Inspire 4G Screenshots

awww... just downloaded ShootMe, and tried running it. no root access.... :(

Let me just say, I was WAY hesitant in rooting my Inspire cos of the process and how difficult it seemed to be compared to the Captivate (my prev phone). But I finally took the plunge and I'm so glad I did.

Like I said, it is sort of a complicated process, but there's tools and videos out there to help you if you're considering it. And remember you can always go back to stock rom. I'm personally using the stock/rooted rom and haven't had any problems whatsoever. The only thing I don't have is the free hotspot capability, which other roms provide. I don't mind it tho cos I usually don't use it anyway. It's still hotspot capable, but I would have to get the added plan.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. Also, this forum provides all the info you need to root and flash roms and has a pretty knowledgeable and noob-friendly community as well :)

As an FYI to anyone that reads this, any current ROM you flash to the Inspire will have less than stellar sound. It's kind of a sacrifice you have to take until there's a fix for it. Right now, whether on a call or playing a YouTube video, there will always be a bit of static. Everything is ok when headsets are plugged in tho. I know some people would hate to lose sound quality so I thought I'd point that out.

Apparently they're supposed to make an easier way of rooting too, so hope that comes out soon cos this took a while.

There is an audio fix. Works perfectly

Oh, that's not yours?

I'll take a pic of mine tonight and send it to you. They pretty much look exactly like that one.


I wish, that's just a wallpaper I found on zedge. When I was in the ARMY, I was the unit armor so I had a chance to play with all those toys. My favorite weapon of choice was the MK19 belt-fed grenade launcher. Night firing on the range was just a joy.

what about the sound quality issues with the Inspire as reported here:

Have you noticed this? Is there an ETA for this fix? It's really the only thing holding me back!

Well, the sound issue is only relevant to DesireHD roms, not stock/rooted ATT roms (which I'm using). The poster above linked the audio fix. I've only tried one audio fix and used it on the Android Revolution HD rom. It fixed quality A LOT, but it's still not 100% in my opinion. Search the Inspire Development forums over at XDA. They do wonders!

Nice! How's CM7 treating you? I'm dying for some Gingerbread, but since this is my first Sense phone, I kinda wanna give Sense a little more love. I tried out Android Revolution and noticed less lag on that than stock, so I won't be keeping stock forever. Let me know your opinions on CM!

It is running great. I was running it on my Nexus One before I bought my Inspire. It is the true vanilla android experience.

This is totally my style. How did you get multiple icons on your bar at the bottom? I seem locked into 3. What is that weather/time widget? and what is the calendar widget? Thanks thanks!! :)

The icons at the bottom is Launcher Pro. Plus I can scroll the apps at the bottom left and right. It can hold up to 14 things (apps, contacts, bookmarks, etc)

Time/Weather widget is Beautiful Widgets (Smaller Beautiful Home to be exact)

Calendar Widget is Pure Calendar Widget:

Now, can you use a hybrid of some HTC Sense and some of Launcher Pro? Cause I dig the layout you have, but I prefer the clock/weather for HTC Sense.

You can customize the clock lots of way....look at the video and screenshots here:

Beautiful Widgets LevelUp Studio

Looks pretty close to the Sense weather.

As a matter of fact, HTC claimed copyright infringement against Level Up Studios...
