Ingersoll

Introducing Ingersol v2.5 ROM and JV Kernel #7 (2.6.32.28-jv7) by Jayson Vaughn (thedonvaughn)

The goal of

Ingersoll ROM

[HTC Inspire 4G] djowett:
Awesome will try it out tonight, forgot what stock feels like :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
Sweet. Glad to see another INSPIRE Tom instead of desire! Ell have to try this soon.

[HTC Inspire 4G] darcjrt:
Superuser app FCs you should update it. Market wont update for some reason.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Does it show a ninja or the skull and cross bones?

Sent from skynet using XDA Premium Resistance App
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Thanks for the feedback.

Hrm. I tested with a clean install and had no problems.

I will update with a fix and post a new version this evening.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
If its the ninja then you would need the patched superuser.

Sent from skynet using XDA Premium Resistance App
[HTC Inspire 4G] darcjrt:
You can fix superuser by clearing data in settings >> manage apps. The market thing cant tell what it is. Maybe move vending.apk to data?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZXMustang:
Same here. Had to flash back to lees. This ROM would not allow any su operations. And It had the skull and crossbones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Yup, I need to update it then.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sprhr0:
oh no... so i went to clockmod recovery to flash this... and pretty sure i didnt do a complete wipe just the devlick wipe... I was using Core's gingerbread 4.9 but it was buggy so i thought id try this before doing his 5.0. Anyhow my phone is stuck in the ATT and HTC boot sequences
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Take out your battery to stop the loop and then re-insert your battery.

Hold down the vol down key and simultaneously press the power button to turn on your phone. Keep the vol down key held down while the phone turns on and you should boot into recovery. From there you can wipe your data or reflash a rom from your sdcard.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darcjrt:
Make sure to remove your sd card if you are using a gold card when holding down vol and power. Select recovery and place the sdcard while the phonr is booting into recovery
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
I verified that the SuperUser apk is indeed old. I will update it to fix the FCs.

Furthermore, I will include the newest android market apk to resolve the market issues some of you are experiencing.

I'll have RC2 out this evening.

Thanks everyone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darcjrt:
If you do that it will be perfect. I pushed the new superuser and market app and the Rom is awesome!
[HTC Inspire 4G] darcjrt:
I just tested and it still fc for some reason. You'll have to take a look at that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pollux1151:
will wifi hotspot work?
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
pollux, not yet.

I was planning on including APNs for mobile wifi in tonight's release.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Ok just posted RC2.

Fixed SuperUser and Market issues.

Added APNs for tethering.
[HTC Inspire 4G] enewman17:
So I switched to this rom, love it so far. Anyway after the flash I went ahead and flashed the ui tweek, Rom never booted... so I pulled the battery and started over again without flashing the tweek and whalla it worked. So just wondering if it needed the first full boot before applying the UI.zip

Unless I find any problems with this rom, Think i'm gonna stay.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Thanks.

Yes you will need to flash the UI tweaks after the first boot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JohnShi:
Newbie to rooting and changing roms, but been using your V1.0 rom, and had a few bugs, but upgrading to your 2.2 (been busy i see!). Just want to tell you thanks and keep up the good work!

EDIT:

Installed V2.2 and running @ 1.8Ghz, had a quadrant score of 3197!

@ 1.3Ghz, score of 2917! Impressive!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mohkg:
how the fu##

how did you do that qurdant score of 2685 dude youre awseome :D thanks for the awesome rom wheres that donation button
[HTC Inspire 4G] enewman17:
Thanks so much I much prefer this Rom to any of the other at&t inspire roms,

I just upgraded from an Aria...omg is this phone awesome. I used CM 6 and 7 on that. Thought I would give sense a try on this phone now using this Rom sense is pretty sweet

I freaking love the boot animation

Inspire 4G / Ingersoll v2.2 / XDA app
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Yah maybe I should add one now ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
does this rom have the wifi, brightness, etc toggles in the notification drop down?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Not that I recall. I haven't had a chance to flash the extras package..(battery dead, left charger at work <face palm>) so not sure if its included with that.

Basically, without the extras package, its a glorified (and I mean that in a good way) stock ROM.

Its like, say your at the movies and you buy a bag of popcorn...the popcorn is pretty good by itself, but then you add butter to it. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] constantschange:
Haha, awesome way to put it.

I've flashed a handful of stock roms since I got the Inspire, and this I feel is top notch. I've even been messing with CM7 (Stable) pretty much all day, and sadly, didn't care for it that much. Love stock, I really do, but I miss my sense widgets, camera app and dialer. So much better.

Loving the rom man! Keep up the good work!

Random question for anybody that may know: is there anyway to remove the recent apps portion of the notification bar? It's not a huge deal at all, just curious as it's HUGE lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Can anyone suggest setcpu settings for an increase of battery life?
[HTC Inspire 4G] crupp:
Little help please. I have flashed undreds of ROMS on my old Captivate but this phone is completely different. Currently I can use ROM Manger to "install from SD" but get black screen when I try to boot into recovery via ROM Manager, not a big deal as long as when I flash a ROM I can do it via the "install from SD" method?

Also, I am Rooted and running a stock ROM. Do I still need to wipe?

thanks. I'll catch on very quickly
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Take a look at this...it'll probably help ya.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1019868
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
I'm not that in depth when it comes to setcpu, but I can tell you that on my phone, I keep it set at around 1.3ghz - On Demand and I can get a couple days out of it if I'm not being aggressive.

If I am doing alot of flashing and tweaking...I can get about 10 hrs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crupp:
Up and running! Thanks Nickovtyme. Just what I was looking for Stock with goodies :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
A sincere THANK YOU for the Rom Don Vaughn

Great work! Thanks to Devs like yourself I will never regret my purchase of my HTC Inspire

Keep innovating and making your releases as fast and stable as possible mate
[HTC Inspire 4G] JohnShi:
When I go to restart the phone using the menu, it never reboots, gets stuck at splash screen and I have to take battery out. After that, starts just fine. Any advice? No big deal, really. Thanks!

Edit:

Restarting just fine now. No problems. Uninstalled the Swype Beta, seemed to clear up my problem. Hope thid helps someone!
[HTC Inspire 4G] waitisover:
I have the 2.2 rom applied on my Inspire, yesterday I also applied the Add-ons, since then I am having problem with the Video playback in the browser, youtube videos play fine, but if I play a video from a site like gizmodo or engagdet within the browser, video plays for a few seconds and then stops, after this the browser become unresponsive, either I have to force stop the browser or reboot the device.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Strange. No problems here and I reboot a lot when testing my kernel for instance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
First I've heard of this issue. Ill definitely look into it
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joelpatrick:
Anyone else having wireless tether app problems? Mine opens and says it's working but unable to connect. Tried a reboot too. Using the apn method for now but really like wireless tether. Don't know if that can even be rom related.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Well I tested this issue on a bunch of sites and could not reproduce it.

Did u do a full wipe when you installed the ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Tad confused. My ROM comes with a ton of APNs. You can go to Settings -> Wireless and Networks and turn on "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot". It works out of the box.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wiingy:
ah, i didn't know that you removed the Bloatware, going to d/l this rom now and install it.

:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
I just put some music on my sdcard and no music/media players are finding it. Don't know if that's a ROM issue or something else. I'm gonna wipe everything and reflash 2.2 and see if it's still doing the same thing.

Will report back.

EDIT: I wiped everything and reflashed 2.2. It's still not seeing my music or pictures for that matter. Not sure whats going on. May try another ROM and see if its doing same thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tchaney86:
Battery life & slow download speeds

First, thank you very much for all your hard work from this great ROM. With that said, I seem to have decreased battery life, even running at only 1.2CPU. Also, My download speeds are under 1MB per/sec and my upload speed is over 1MB. So be exact: DL .75MB & UL 1.05MB Even when I do a speed test using WIFI I still dont get speeds that im supposed to be getting. Any help would be great. Thanks! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Hmmm...not sure, but every ROM I've tried in the last couple hours...none are recognizing the music on my card. May try to reformat my card and see if that helps. Maybe something got corrupted in all the flashes I've done recently.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Were they gb roms and is your music in wma format?

Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Some where gb roms. Are they not compatible? Is wma not compatible? I used Doubletwist to sync the music. But that wouldn't explain why its not seeing my pics in the gallery...that also seems to become an issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
GB has issues with wma. When I switched to CM7 I had to convert all of my music mp3

Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
If your pics aren't showing format the SD card and add them back. That happened a few times with the captivate

Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Formatting the card seemed to do the trick. I now see pictures and the music is coming up.

Thanks for your input.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Should have an upate sometime this weekend.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Very strange indeed. Nothing I've done should affect WiFi or mobile data speeds. ... well besides improving mobile by enabling HSUPA :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] brwnohno:
Awesome ROM!

Only rom I have tried where everything works! Quick question though, and this is me pushing this rom to the max. Has anyone else flashed the latest leedroid kernel to this rom and found a fix for the boot animation not showing? If not, then I can live without it for the speed increase I got by switching. I have tried fixing permissions, changing boot animation, and loading the boot animation files to where cm uses them. Nothing works, even renaming them! Again that's me breaking this awesome rom. Any help would be appreciated if anybody has found a solution. Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Well you can load any boot animation you want. Place it in /data/local/bootanimation.zip

So to clarify; when you flash leedroid's kernel, the boot animation doesn't work?
[HTC Inspire 4G] brwnohno:
That's correct. I have tried changing the boot animation but that didn't work either. All I get on boot is a black screen after the splash screen until I see the unlock bar. I appreciate the rom though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Ingersoll 2.3 dropped!

OP edited.

Also please check out Ingersoll UI Tweaks 2.0. Now includes transparent status/notification bar as well as the power widget mod (as requested).

Enjoy!
[HTC Inspire 4G] crupp:
Will do a full wipe*
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Nice. First quad score on ingersoll 2.3 + ui tweaks 2.0 @ 1.8Ghz. ...... ( and yes I know quad scores are meaningless; yadda yadda blah blah. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
I'm downloading it now!

But, well, you all know that. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] phoenix2217:
Everytime I flash a kernel on this ROM, it boot loops after the HTC loading screen :( I've tried after booting it up completely and rebooting into recovery and I've also tried loading the kernel right after installing the rom before first boot up and it still boot loops. Am I doing something wrong? :( Tried the JV kernel. Is that for this ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
If you flash this ROM, the JV kernel is already in it. No need to flash the JV kernel on top of it.

As far as other kernels, I personally feel there's no need....but hey that's part of the fun with this stuff...putting different setups together to see what works best for you. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
The ROM comes with JV Kernel. I include it as a flashable zip in case one wants to use it on a different ROM.

I have users who use this ROM with other kernels without any problems. What kernel are you trying to flash? I'll look into it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Awesome, smokin' fast, and rock solid on my phone, donvaughn!

I don't know how you do it...but keep doing it. I'm a fan of this ROM...it just doesn't let me down. I'm not sure if it even can.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
I just tested this. I was able to successfully flash BuzzSense 1.3.8.3OC+ and booted up just fine. (I did notice however that my boot animation went away for some reason; I need to look into that.)

I was also able to flash JV Kernel #6 and it booted up just fine (And my boot animation came back :)

One question, are you booting up Ingersoll with the stock kernel (JV Kernel #6) first before flashing your new kernel? Or are you flashing the kernel before your first boot from recovery? I suggest letting it boot up once.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Hah, much obliged!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
not to shabby. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] phoenix2217:
Tried both ways. Before and after first boot. Where do I get the.buzzsense kernel? I'll try that

thedonvaughn

I have a request. I love the ui tweeks but could you look into creating a zip that only has the power widget mod, transparent status/notification bar, and maybe a 1% battery mod on the standard batt. icon, (not a huge fan of the circle battery). I like the custom window animations, but they are a little to much for me to handle, the constant changing messes with my eyes something fierce and tends to make me nauseous. :(

Love this rom keep it up. best working one for me yet, other than cm7 that works flawlessly too. Its hard to not flip-flop between the two. If you have time, could make a second ui tweek for this rom? That would be perfect! and I promise I will never stray away from your rom again. Cheers ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] aaronv89:
Why don't you go to settings -> display and disable animations?
[HTC Inspire 4G] enewman17:
I have them disabled but then there are none. I liked the stock ones. Not so over the top, ya know...
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Yes, I actually agree with you. I was thinking about releasing a version of UI tweaks with stock animations.

Let me look into 1% bat mod
[HTC Inspire 4G] enewman17:
you the man!
[HTC Inspire 4G] constantschange:
Apologize if this was mentioned in the thread, but is it safe to flash over 2.2?

I don't know if this has already been requested or not but I really love this rom but I miss having a 5 row transparent app drawer

Youbetcha.
[HTC Inspire 4G] happyaray:
I've been seeking for my very 1st customized ROM and I haven't decided yet.

Any one can share their battery usage with this ROM?

The only thing that I'm concerning is the battery life with stock-like ROM.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
I get decent battery with this ROM. I can oc my phone to 1.3ghz (on demand) and get a full day out of it. But I'm used to having to charge my devices every night. If I'm not being really aggressive, I can get a couple days out of it.

I also have Juice Defender from the market loaded. That really helps get the most out of a battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] earhog:
You can use this site

http://uot.dakra.lt/

and customize your own UI tweaks.. has the 1% mod as well
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
New version of UI Tweaks is released - v2.5.

There are 2 different versions to choose from - stock window animation version and custom window animation version.

After checking out more battery mods today, I decided I really like the accurate battery mod - so I switched to that one.

OP has been edited.

Enjoy!
[HTC Inspire 4G] coderunner:
I flashed the ui tweaks zip and all is good except now I am missing the 5 bar signal icon. It now has the 4 bar. I want the five bar back.

Stuck at custom boot animation

I applied the 2.3 ROM through SD card and also applied the new custom tweaks 2.5. Now my Inspire is stuck at the boot animation, I removed the battery couple of times but it is still stuck at the boot animation.

What do I do? can you help?
[HTC Inspire 4G] waitisover:
Finally I was able to boot into recovery and re applied the 2.3 ROM, applied the version 1 tweaks also.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
Did you allow yourself to boot once before applying the UI tweaks?
[HTC Inspire 4G] waitisover:
When I initially applied the 2.3 ROM, I applied the UI tweaks also without Rebooting, maybe that was the mistake.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crupp:
Let the phone reboot, then apply tweek. I did this, all working great! including 5 bars for signal
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pumpiron579:
Installed this last night. Perfect . Not one hickup. faster than what I had on. I also pickup more bars for some reason.
[HTC Inspire 4G] waitisover:
I applied the Custom UI tweaks 2.5, I still see only 4 bars, not a big deal though as it has not affected my download/upload speed, the other thing which I noticed was the H+ icon is gone now, I see only H now and when I turn the hotspot on it displays 3G instead of H+.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thedonvaughn:
In the new UI Tweaks, I switched to the Desire HD icon set in the status bar. I think it's more accurate. H = HSPA+, 3G, E and 4 bar signal strength. None of this will affect speed or performance.

Is there anyway you can post the HTC Mail apk, perhaps that would be a quick workaround for this issue.
