Unfortunately no, all I've seen is that there are some really strange rumored names for it's eventual launch (Attain: AT&T, Function: Verizon, Within: Sprint...yeah those are the names), but other than that cancelled announcement on the 24th, there is nothing saying they will. All of us AT&T users who have one have imported from overseas, mine is coming tomorrow. Those who have patience (NOT me lol) are probably going to wait for a carrier subsidized version.

Is there a way to retain applications between trying different ROMS. I am sure there are ways where I don't have to install all applications all over again.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hamsn:
Use Titanium Backup.

If the ROMs you try are similar and differ just by version number, then you can skip formatting your ext3 partition on your sd card (if you use app2sd, etc.)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voncrane:
Using CWM is the best as backup & restore is quite easy...IMO Titanium messes ROMs alot if not used correctly...Just backup using CWM, Flash new ROM, get back to CWM and choose advanced restore > Data only...
[Desire HD General] shashanka:
I have a USB dongle which I brought for my laptop, and I have a DHD with my PS3 which is connected to my Sony Bravia 26 inch.

The USB tethering on my DHD works fine and is able to access my PC's internet just fine. If I switch on wifi hotspot on my DHD, my PS3 can recognise the network and connect to it as well.

Can I do a uSB tether to my DHD with my laptop, and then enable wifi hotspot so that my PS3 can access the internet with it? I cannot go in for a 3G plan because here in India, it costs a bomb. My USB dongle costs a bomb too, but Ive already invested in it.

Can someone please tell me how I can do what I wanna do? Thanks in advance :D

What kernel and radio would you all recommend? I'm planning on flashing Cyanogenmod.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jsm7483:
After reading a lot in the CM7 thread I flashed the newest radio from at&t. Then followed up with the 98H RIL. Do this before flashing cm7 or you will end up having to reflash everything or restore a nandroid backup.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jsm7483:
P.s. For Kernel LordMod HD. I think it is version 4.6. Then run the Pinky undervolt script after you backup. If that locks up try the -50mv. No bugs with this kernel.

Any other lordmod kernel seems to be a crapshoot. Ie. Wifi didn't work with three of the other ones I tried.
[HTC Inspire 4G] helushune:
You don't need to do that. You can flash everything after it's installed and everything will be peachy.

Also incorrect. Read his posts, he's pretty open about what's working and what doesn't work with what versions.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
I was running Inspired Ace. All was good, and I decided to flash LeeDroid.

I used the EXT4 conversion/wipe, then installed LeeDroid.

I had tons of problem with LeeDroid, such as messaging being very slow, FCs when trying to make/receive a phone call, etc. It wasn't my cup of tea... so I decided to go back to Inspired Ace.

Restored the backup, and things aren't working like it used to:

*Flash videos embedded on websites sometimes crash the browser

*Netflix doesn't work at all, regardless of which fix I try (rmk's or fenny's)

*Youtube lags/stutters like mad

So, I did a fresh install:

*Wiping data, system, cache

*Installing fresh Inspired Ace

First boot, LeeDroid default background was showing in the Inspired Ace. There were 2 of every system apps (2 calculators, 2 call histories, etc).

Wiped data/system/cache again, and installed fresh Inspired Ace again (downloaded a new copy, incase the last copy was corrupted).

Same deal... 2 of every system app, and LeeDroid default background.

I decided "whatever" at this point, and installed all my apps, and this time, like previously, nothing that involves videos work (flash embed, netflix fix, youtube).

What's going on?

TL;DR- I installed LeeDroid, didn't like it, did a fresh install of Inspired Ace, components of LeeDroid was still left behind despite formatting system/data/cache, and apps, such as browser, netflix, youtube, doesn't work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
1. Copy ur backup to computer, reformat ur SD, restore the backup to SD.

2. Go to recovery, and clear data, cache and dalvik cache.

3. Try restoring ur back up now. It should work, and not have traces of anything. Apps like dolphin browser store data on sdcard.
[HTC Inspire 4G] knarfl1:

[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
What? Seriously?

That'll help persuade HTC to ease up on their locked bootloader policy. Lots.

Forgot to mention but yes, I have tried formatting my SD card, as well try a brand new one that hasn't been used with this phone before.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Just throwing this out, but would running the RUU possibly get you back to a blank slate from which to start over?

I've never run it myself, but my assumption of what it ends up doing is pretty much returning the phone to its out-of-the-box state, ignoring what's on the phone at the time (aside from S-On/s-off.

I would also assume you'd have to re-root.

Just a thought.

Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium
[HTC Inspire 4G] willwalk93:
Also, running the RUU (the new one found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058042 ) from HBOOT as Scott_S mentioned would also update your radio if you have not already done so. However, as I found out, you will either have to install a file explorer to delete the PD98IMG.zip from the sd card, or install ROM Manager to boot to CWM in order to flash back to Inspired Ace, or whatever ROM you decide on. I did the same thing two days ago. If you boot to HBOOT with the update file on your ZIP all i could do was install or reboot (as it scans for update then only prompts install and if you say no, it prompts reboot) and the RUU does not include Rom Manger. You probably already knew that but just throwing it out there.

EDIT:Forgot to mention, this RUU is already rooted. No re-rooting necessary ;) other than that, same as original stock un-rooted RUU
[HTC Inspire 4G] knarfl1:
No worries. The phone will be refurbed and sold for profit again (or fixed and given back as a warranty replacement).

Fyi it is not HTC that wants to lock/encrypt the BLs: It's ATT.

You gonna tell everyone to stop tethering for free?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
Yea, why not. I'll first try the "cracked" RUU, and if that doesn't work, do a full unroot, and reroot it.

And if THAT doesn't work... I don't know.

Yea, already have 06.06.30.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
I guarantee even carrier unlocked versions will (and already DO)have signed bootloaders, and I doubt its all att. When people brick their phones, send them in for warranty replacement, its still costing HTC money no matter how you look at it. At the very least, manhours. It might not take long to fix, but it adds up. If they figure the cost for letting us do what we want to do with bootloaders/kernels/roms is more than what they lose by pissing us (very small percentage of total users) modders off, then they have a motive ($) to keep us out.

When you hack a phone, YOU(not you specifically, end user), take a risk knowing you may mess up and brick your phone, if you return it as a brick, the HTC devs are not dumb. I'm sure they know exactly how it happened when they get it.

I still have a bricked atrix that I paid almost full price for from trying to crack the POS. Didn't really feel I had the right to return it, when I f'd up trying to find a way around the bootloader.

And people who use theirs phones as their entire internet service tethering for free don't help either
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Exactly.

It's the attitude expressed by the post you and I responded to that doesn't help our situation. It doesn't matter whether it's ATT or HTC that's driving the bootloader thing, the end result, and most likely the motivation behind it, is the same.

[HTC Inspire 4G] knarfl1:
Product returns are part of doing business. With over 100 million accounts, there will be millions of phones returned every year for whatever reason. Some people got the Inspire just to tide them over for 30 days until the Atrix was available (or got the Atrix and found out it is a turd and returned it for an Inspire.)

As for the enthuasist segment, though small in terms of percentage, size of the community has passed the critical mass long time ago. BTW, HTC is NOT locking their bootloaders. [updated]

Howbeit should we try to appease AT&T to stay in their good graces? Then modders should:

- Stop using free tethering.

- Get off the unlimited data plan gained via iP2 scheme and go back to 250MB/2Gb plans.

- Removing tweaks that improve data speed.

- Removing hacked Netflix app.

- Un-root.

- Only use phones sold by AT&T on AT&T network.

- etc...

I'm sorry your Atrix is bricked. Sell its parts on eBay?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
You did not mention wiping the dalvik cache. That is a must.
[HTC Inspire 4G] knarfl1:
Haha. I spoke one minute too soon. Read the news from HTC about locking bootloaders. Your concern is unwarranted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
That's not a completely pure RUU, though. Stock recovery and hboot has been removed from that.

Try the pure RUU.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ThorsGal:
When you do the EXT4 wipe can it still read the files on your sd card? I did my flashing with another SD than the one I use normally so there was not chance of messing my card up. Do I need to reformat the every day sd card?

Thanks,

Thorsgal
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
You're absolutely correct... Now.

I wasn't aware at the time of those earlier posts of the latest development, that HTC had gone ahead and scrapped the locked bootloader thing.

Still, I think the least we can do in return for HTC doing right by us, is to mod these phones with a clear head, not carlessly, educating ourselves prior to undertaking some of these processes, and exhaust all resources available to us in trying to solve any problems that result, that are of our own making.

If that fails, then the noble thing to do is ask them how much it would cost to "repair" our ****-ups, not pass the burden back on them under the guise of a "warranty replacement" for supposedly "defective phone."

It's lying, and it just feels morally wrong.

Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium
[HTC Inspire 4G] mlts22:
Exactly. I wish more people were honorable and if they bricked their phones, write it off as tuition in the school of hard knocks and move on. Or, since it is pretty difficult to hard-brick a HTC device, take the time to reflash it stock, then see about a return.

Just a few people not knowing what they are doing and either returning their devices, or trying up HTC's support can mean HTC will re-lock bootloaders just so they don't have to deal with that element, as the returns hit them in the pocketbook big time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Some people just waltz into doing these things thinking everything is a "one-click" process, for some phones maybe, but these newer ones it's not quite that simple.

And I think a lot of people who end up doing as you illustrated, warranty returning/tying up their tech support, don't even realize they're dealing with a "*soft*-brick," not a perma-brick -- something that, if they could get out of panic mode long enough, they would realize the fixes are at their fingertips, via XDA.

Apologies to the OP, didn't want to derail the thread, just kinda happened that way... ;)

Does flashing back a different ROM convert your /system and /data partitions back to ext3 or do they stay on ext4? If not, can you format back in hopes of solving without having to un-root?

LOL!!! Wow that is some awesome battery life you're getting on your GingerBeast ROM. :p

I think what dilli is trying to tell us is these types of threads have minimal value. Everyone uses their phone differently and the battery life is impacted greatly by this. If Joe Blow gets 3 days battery life out of SuperDuper v3.0 ROM paired up with the BestBatteryEver v2.5 kernel doesn't mean I will get anywhere near the same results.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:

If you turn off your wifi and screen, Then its just similar to keeping your PC on sleep mode.

At the end of the day, battery should last through the day if you dont have a charger within reach. Again depends on usage.

The display on my inspire is what murders my battery. I mean seriously, if it is pulling 70%+ of your total battery usage, how much life can you expect with screen on for games, videos, browsing, etc. 9 hrs and 5 mins and 76% left. I have my phone locked to 2g networks when not using data, btw. that seemed to help. screen has been on roughly 30% of this time as I lock when not in use (between texts, as I text my gf all day usually :D)

Tutorial on customizing theme

How to customize a Theme -

Here is a simple tutorial on how can you customize an already ported theme (I thought of customizing a theme beacuse I like some icons of one theme and some of another , then why not make a customized theme which is a mix of icons ( or you can say .pngs ) from different themes :)

What all you need

1. WinRar

2. Base theme which you want to customize

3. And all the themes using which you will be customizing your theme ( base theme )

Now

1. extract framework-res.apk of your base theme

2. extract framework-res.apk of another theme

3. Now check drawable-ldpi folder of the base theme and find out all the .pngs you want to change ( like battery , title bar , lock screen , network signal etc etc.)

4. Replace these icons with the icons of another theme

5. check drawable-mdpi of the base theme ( you will have to check this folder for android and rotatory locks ) and find out the icons you want to change.

6. Replace them with the icons of another theme.

7. Repeat step 1 to 6 for twframework-res.apk file and change the icons using another theme.

8. In the End open framework-res.apk ( and twframework-res.apk ) with winrar.

9. Add the modified folders ( drawable-ldpi or drawable-mdpi ) into framework-res.apk ( or twframework-res.apk) respectively.

This is what I have found (while customizing the HTC theme ). If anyone wants to add ( or modify ) some steps, feel free to do so. :)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balopez:
Hey I had a similar issue with my phone, first question does it give you a error on the Hboot screen saying security error? secondly it sounds like and correct me if I am wrong but it sounds like you probably had root and then used a full signed ruu to downgrade and if you did thats why your stuck at the moment. If that is what you did I am pretty sure you can recover from that so not all is lost. I am unclear on the exact steps your going to need to do to recover because the issue like the previous post says is that you cannot downgrade and if you flashed the mr1 ruu there is no newer version to flash to that is actually signed. Your next step is to go to the forum for thunderbolts in the general section and find the live chat (should be the first sticky), you want to talk to either Jcase or Adrenaline as they are best prepared with the knowledge to recover your device. I hope this helps at least get you pointed in the right direction.
