Running CM7 now. I absolutely love it! All of the bloatware is gone. Battery life has greatly improved. Love it!

Have you tried many of the other custom roms available at the XDA Forum?

Not yet, this is my first try. You like the ninja rom? Do I have to flash a kernel or a radio too? Or just wipe everything and flash it over? Because I am down to try a different one like right now lol.

Try the Ninja Rom - {rom}NINJA-0716(2.3.4) 07/16/2011-|Swype 3.0|New Market|LM 6.0|G+! - xda-developers - if you want a NON-sense rom. If you're looking for a Sense 3.0 based rom, try HoneySense HD, located here - [ ROM ][15 JULY] Honeysense HD v7.2.1 EXT4|Honeycomb|Daemon|Sense|3D Sense| - xda-developers - with lots of eye candy.

Thanks a lot dude! Being without Sense is not really a big deal to me. I have been using Beautiful Widgets since I got the phone. I'm going to download those roms now. Thanks a lot! Having this phone rooted is a must! I feel the same way as I did when I jailbroke my iPhone!

When I flashed the Ninja rom and went to use Titanium backup it said I do not have root access. What gives?

Now running HoneysenseHD...wow!!...is all I can say!

It is definitely a visual rom - gorgeous to look at, and a lot of fun to use. Glad you like it - Enjoy!

I'm not sure if that question was directed to me or the OP. I used Bubby's One Click method, available here - [GUIDE]Inspire 4G, Rooting, Flashing, Softbrick, Fixes, Sideloading.(4-23) - xda-developers - but there is another method (shown in the same thread) which many people have had success with. You need to read up on both, so you can make an informed choice.

Love the honeysense

Excellent! I'm glad people are enjoying the great roms available on the XDA Developers site.

As a side note - just be aware of their rather strict rules about posting questions over there. They have a Q&A thread here - Inspire 4G Q&A - xda-developers - where you post all of your rom related questions and complaints to.

HTH,

I flashed cm7 but then realized that phone and contacts icons were missing. Did I forget a step?

Did you install the google add on with it? If you backed up you contacts with google, and installed the add on, then they should just pop up.

P.S. - Newly rooted, and loving CM7 so far. Thinking about trying another rom, but like this one so much.

how do you back up with google?

 

[striketrue]

Solved. I didn't wipe data, just dalvik. That was my problem.

CM7 is awesome... my favorite

For any new users on this ROM you should add the power widget to your homsecreen. You have the option to turn your portable hotspot on, torch (which if you select high brightness goes so much brighter than the htc sense flashlight), even go between 2g and 3g with one push of an icon. Really saves battery life! And if it shows 2g,3g on your icon you can be sure you are still getting 4g speeds. Also try going to settings-adw launcher-screen preferences. If you select desktop transition at the bottom you can select how each page turns. (for those of you that like sense 3 select cube) Hope this is helpful.

Hi Mike,

Is any of those roms have the feature to manual set the phone to use 2g/edge only? thanks.

torch (which if you select high brightness goes so much brighter than the htc sense flashlight),

I mean! It's not a focused beam but dang if it doesn't light up a dark room as much as my 4 watt cree pretend-tactical-flashlight.

Battery monitor widget also showed 1400ma draw on the battery with that on, I've never seen it go higher than 700-750, usually when playing a game. (Regular flashlight apps make my battery ma draw usually go up by 150-200ma.)

I'm sticking with teslaLED widget, as bright as the sense flashlight on high, looks better and I'm not risking melting my phone near as much if I forget to turn it off.


Is this extra-bright light something CM does on a lot of phones or is it a DHD-specific thing?

I'm running CM7 and I have the option to use 2g only.

 

[csoto2010]

I'm not sure if CM7 does on different models, that's a good question. If I were to make an educated guess I would say he does just to keep everything uniform.
