[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
Hey guys I've been looking to try another rom.

I've had gingerbeast, leedroid, miui, and now I'm on inspired ace.

I want a Rom the focuses on speed and stability. I want sense and I don't want force close issues. I've been looking at maybe trying virtuous unity, dilligafs sense Rom, or maybe ninja.

I want a Rom that has very few bugs and doesn't necessarily need to be updated all the time.

I should note that I'm very happy with inspired ace but I need more speed and hoping to find a Rom with stronger WiFi.

Eye candy is not a primary focus.

Which do you think should be my next Rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dingokevin:
Give leedroid a good great ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
Very happy with clearDroid.
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
thanks but, i dont want to know just which ones you like...i could easily search for the popular ones...

i would like to have recommendations for the criteria i listed, just one that you have tried that you think will work well for me.

thanks guys
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
You have tried all the best. /shrug
[HTC Inspire 4G] dingokevin:
What ever.
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
um, i already tried leedroid...

worked pretty good, but i want to try more roms before i can say that that is the best one for me...
[HTC Inspire 4G] d9vabder:
CoreDroid hands down has the most/best features and you can always expermient with the kernels (unity and Lee's) to see which you prefer. Both are great kernels.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Inarius03:
Virtuous. Do it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] malicenfz:
I loved virtuous but I'm trying cleardroid for a while see how this goes. So far the battery life has been amazing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Try Ingersoll.

Fast, stable, near stock experience...performance with no bells and whistles.

Still one of my fav ROM's even though I'm running with the Beast currently.
[HTC Inspire 4G] imbmiller:
I love virtuous unity 1.25. Auto CPU dameon, tweaked sense 3.0, stable fast and good battery life to boot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
I've most recently tried Virtuous and it looked good, but the audio (phone calls) sounded terrible. I'm not sure if I missed something, because I only flashed it to get a quick look at it. Maybe there was a fix in the OP or something specific to my device. Either way, I haven't heard other people with the issue and if I wanted Sense, that's what I'd want to run. Sense 3.0 is nice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
yea, i would like to try sense 3.0, so i think ill give virtuous a try

thanks for the feedback guys, ill revive my thread if i find it missing things i really want
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
I didn't see anyone recommend Android revolution. It's an optimized stock Rom. Very stable and doesn't update as often as others. Give it a try.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdpyo:
Ingersoll is pretty legit, I bounce from that to cm7, currently using Unity and It's pretty great except for battery drain and seems laggy at times and that could also be operator error
[HTC Inspire 4G] TXRangerXDA:
I installed it last night. Loving it so far, but I had to install the audio fix; as you said, the sound was crappy, but the audio fix took care of it. So far it's great. Best data speeds I've seen since Inspired Ace.
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
Virtuous

Sent from my Inspire 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
I've run most every ROM, multiple times, for Sense, Virtuous Unity is the most trouble free. Lee, Core, Clear, AR, all had some issues for me.

For non-GB, Ingersoll is very, very good.

If you are having audio trouble on Virtuous Unity, it's most likely a kernel issue, not a Virtuous problem. Clear data, cach, dalvik and reflash. The audio is perfect on that ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DVA4890:
Might i ask where the audio fix is thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] egomezmorales:
Another vote for Unity, have checked nearly All roms and always go back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TXRangerXDA:
In the reference sticky, look for the tinny audio fix. On my phone or I'd grab a link for you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] akira02rex:
I'm stuck on Rcmix sense 3.0. I've tried the ones you've had and this one seems to have the best built-in features without issues. And its sense 3.0 can't beat that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] neevz:
Ninja is my favorite for now. I've had the least amount of problems with it and it runs very quickly for me. Of course, everyone has a different opinion, so just keep flashing till you find one that you like most:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] skeeter86:
Since we r on this subject..... I'm using leedroid 3.2.1 my problem is GPS! So which on has the best gps lock? One day I might get a lock and an hour later no lock it sucks when your rolling down the road at 80 mph and have to guess where your next turn is!?
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Both my current ROM in sig and CoreDroid was good on GPS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronnie498:
Try Android Rev 5.2.0
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
My advice would be to try them all. Only you will be able to tell what setup time best for you on your device.
[Samsung Mesmerize] paynekidd:
Am I missing how to make app drawers in touchwiz on my showcase? I know you can make folders on the home page but is there anyway to make app drawers in the applications menu?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
If your using the stock touchwiz launcher and it is anything like the Mesmerize then no. I couldn't find a way to create folders or groups in the app drawer. Now the new touchwiz has the ability to do folders in the app drawer. I think it is touchwiz 4.0 but I may be wrong on that.

Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize
[Samsung Mesmerize] paynekidd:
Can you get touchwiz 4 yet?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Yeah I saw it on XDA somewhere. Can't remember right off. Try a search for it. Should turn up for ya.

Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Here ya go. http://db.tt/OZcJ94V. That's the apk

Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize
[Samsung Mesmerize] paynekidd:
Awesome! Thanks, cant wait to try it!
[Samsung Mesmerize] paynekidd:
It wont install. Any ideas?

EDIT: After much Googling I still am nowhere but it looks like 2.2.3 is required..?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Yeah. You may have to move it to the system/app folder but I do think you may need to be on froyo to do that. You will need root explorer to move it. But I think you need to be on a rooter deodexed ROM to make that work. May consider heinz 57. It has a version with touchwiz 4 already installed. Also has version for showcase.

Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize
[Samsung Mesmerize] paynekidd:
Ive got froyo with PnP v1.0. Ill try moving it and running it and if that doesnt work ill look into heinz57, Thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] Masta Of Evil:
Search for touchwiz 4.5, its by frogger here on xda, there is a zip you flash from recovery, it works great.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
Touchwiz is about as cool as Nancy Grace naked. Just use a different launcher; GO Launcher, ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro, Jesus Launcher, Incest Sisters Launcher, etc.
[Samsung Mesmerize] paynekidd:
I downloaded the zip and am trying to flash it and im getting errors. I mounted /system, any ideas?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Masta Of Evil:
Error 6? Read towards bottom of post for fix
[Samsung Mesmerize] paynekidd:
I ended up opening up the heinz57 flash and replacing Mr home with twlauncher4.5 then flashing it and I gotta say I hated tw3 but am in total love with 4.5.

Thanks all for help!
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Cool deal. Glad you got it working

Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize
[Samsung Mesmerize] paynekidd:
Should I post a .zip? Of it? Does anybody else out there want it heinz57 w/ tw4
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
ohhai guyz! I just wanted to share that I THINK HTC is going to unlock the bootloadrz on our phones!!!!1 :D:D:D:):)

I got this email from someone from there customer support thing in response to my email asking them to pretty please unlock teh fon!

"Dear unlockthebootlloaders,

Yeah, you and all your little buddies have already emailed us about a hundred times about the god damned bootloader on the EVO 3D. And guess what, because YOU asked, where not going to do it anymore. We told you we where working on it didn't we?. Jesus, I know you all post these emails on the forums and **** so I know they all know, ok? So now we aren't, because you won't shut the **** up about it. So, you can go eat 1 metric ****ton of dicks. That's right, and tell all your little 1337 hax0rz buddies they can split a metric ****ton of dicks amongst themselves.

in fact, just for all the **** you keep asking and bugging us about, and flooding our Facebook wall with (thanks for that by the way, dickheads) we are going to turn on a special feature for everyone who emailed us. Now, whenever you answer a call, there is a 60% chance your phone will rape your ear hole. have fun with that, ****stick.

P.S. don't bother filling out the survey."

So...

....I think we are finally getting za bootloaders!:eek::eek:

[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Oh yeah?. I just read in the device section that they found a hole.
[HTC Sensation] jdmarko:
I just purchased the PowerSkin silicone skin with built-in battery at my local Tmo store, and it's really cool! The back of the case is itself a 1500 mAh battery, and it is a soft case that fits snugly on the Sensation. There is a connector on the inside of the case to "plug in" the case, so the phone actually believes it is charging from an AC source until the battery is depleted... then of course it switches to the phone's own battery. It adds about 8.5 mm of thickness to the phone when installed.

It's a clever way of making an extended battery and case for the Sensation. Downside is that the back has cutouts for the camera, speaker, and flash, but all lower holes on the back are covered by the battery/case.

Another interesting side effect of this battery-inside-the-case configuration is that battery monitoring apps can't tell whether you're on AC power or on power from this case's battery. (Perhaps someone will discover some way of detecting this configuration and modify a battery/power app to show a realistic estimation of remaining battery time...)

I was reading through other PowerSkin reviews for other phones, and people had previously complained that there was no ability to turn this external battery off, resulting in the phone constantly getting (from my measurements) about a 13-25 mA trickle charge during non-use. On this model, there is a button on the back that if you hold down for 2 seconds, it toggles the battery on/off. Also, if you just press this button normally, it lights up 4 LEDs to show the approximate charge of the battery.

An interesting note is that this changes the location of where you charge your phone. You must now plug your charger in on the RIGHT side of the phone - into the external battery itself. The PowerSkin's circuitry passes through any charging to first charge the phone's own battery, and THEN charge the external battery in the case.

Overall... I like it! See here for photos.
[HTC Sensation] 808HD2:
Nice, I seen that too on tmobile.. how much was it ?!
[HTC Sensation] jdmarko:
It was $59.99. Once I understood that it was essentially an extended battery, I had to try it.
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
How thick does it make the phone?
[HTC Sensation] jdmarko:
The product is listed as being "1.95H cm (.77 in)" thick, but this includes the height of the wrap around-sides that wind up going over the side of the Sensation. The Sensation itself is 11.3 mm thick, and the battery back of the case is slightly less thick than the phone itself... I'd put it at 8.5 mm, so the total thickness of the phone now becomes approximately 18.8 mm thick, which I think makes it on par with (perhaps slightly thinner than) other extended battery configurations with a replacement back.

There is negligible height and width added to the sides of the phone -- with the exception of a small area that sticks out on the left of the phone to allow for the case's own power cord to plug into the phone.

See photos here for what it looks like.
[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
I'm not really digging how much the connector sticks out.

And I wish they would of made the cut around the camera and speaker a bit more fitted. I really like how everything else looks on the back cover, but for $59.99, they could done a little more for the overall design...
[HTC Sensation] cmart4:
does it affect cell/data coverage to any degree?
[HTC Sensation] jdmarko:
Interestingly enough, I had two bars where my wife's N1 had no service. But... I didn't take of the case to see if I had two bars without it on. So far, negligible signal impact.

...Tmo USA Sensation via XDA App...
[HTC Sensation] dilwaala:
I just pulled the trigger as well! Thanks for the info.
[HTC Sensation] jawang26:
anyway we can get pics?
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
He posted a link withing his post, but since I'm already responding.

[HTC Sensation] Dolphinwigs:
i love the idea and the case looks cool. but the that part on the side ruins the entire look. especially if you're paying $60 for it. what is it that is sticking out? oh their site says $10 off and free shipping until the 5th of july for independence day. click on the ad banner.
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
Totally would buy if not for the side sticking out so far... Very very ugly. Ugly enough for me to not buy it...
[HTC Sensation] Dolphinwigs:
is that part that sticks out removable? all the videos (how-to video) and some pics of it do not show that part of the case.
[HTC Sensation] jawang26:
Saw that but wanted actual live photos, and yea wanted to see what is up with that thing sticking out of the side
[HTC Sensation] benlee337:
That's for the micro USB for the case to the phone. The charge port for the case is on the other side. I think its because the phone charge port is on the side. Powerskin has one for the mytouch 4g and its the same tumor on the case.
[HTC Sensation] shooric:
say thank you to HTC for conveniently placing charging port on the side of the phone instead of on the bottom where it could be so easily covered by cases :)
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
The case looked sexy. Until I saw the horror of that thing that sticks out on the side. It's horrible :( And here I was excited to buy it ASAP. Why did it need to have that thing sticking out!?
[HTC Sensation] draganus:
Yea, after I saw that as well, since the phone is not that small either way, with that on the side it mush look horrible.
[HTC Sensation] shooric:
It is just happy to see you :)
[HTC Sensation] r3awak3n:
I do not need extended battery but I guess its useful if you do. Specially on the sensation where change the battery is a little more of a PITA than other phones.

That shark fin kills it, it cant feel right in your hand.
[HTC Sensation] dirtylarry10:
"Phone Boner"

I actually have one of these cases too, and I love it.....the "Phone=Boner" sticking out the side actually fits between my fingers when I hold the phone and does not get in the way or make it uncomfortable at all...for me anyway...the top edge of the "Boner" has a cutaway that actually helps hold phone stable....Moral of this/....If you want to keep a good "Sensation"..protect it with the "phone boner" between your fingers , and get a little charge while using it.....lol....ok....getting too weird now......loving the phone...cant wait for root....Dirty
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
can anyone post real life pics or a video? that extra nub is pretty much the ONLY thing convincing me to rip apart a powermat battery cover and modding it into the S4G's shell.

i love how the case looks, and extra battery is nice, but i dont want that nub getting stuck on my pocket and "testing" the case :P
[HTC Sensation] jawang26:
Not a big fan of the case but thinking about picking one up just incase , tmo has 50% off accessories so case would be $30 bucks..might be nice to have it around just in case you need it one day
[HTC Sensation] Dolphinwigs:
i just bought one so ill post pics and a review when it gets here.
[HTC Sensation] IronSheik:
none of my local stores seem to have this (many of them dont even know what it is) & some of them are still selling body glove cases (even though they were recalled due to scratching)

they say just to keep checking daily & that none of their systems are linked so they cannot say which store has what

heres all i could find on their site but no option to order (not that id want to w/o the 50% discount)
[HTC Sensation] jdmarko:
I have to agree... if you're going to go for the bulk of the extended battery look anyway, that little "Phone-Boner" on the side really is nothing.

The biggest downside for me so far has been that the case gets in the way of the flash for the camera. I don't mean that the case is covering the flash... not at all. Rather, the case is somewhat DEEP, and when the flash goes off, deep inside the case, it reflects off the case itself, causing the photo to become washed out. (Imagine a bright backlight behind the subject, shining right into the lens.) It can ruin the photo, and I either have to turn the flash off or remove the case to get a decent photo.

With the new Temp-Root and a judicious use of SetCPU, I can now almost double my battery life anyway, so I find myself using this extended battery case less frequently now. It's still a good thing to have in one's arsenal though!
[HTC Sensation] mayhem1983:
Can anyone post pics of your phone with the case on who ever got it!
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Im trying to get one around the local stores but nobody carries them. ****, I'd rock one for $30 ;)
[HTC Sensation] roonius:
Same here. No store in Denver has them
[HTC Sensation] Xx12thANG3LxX:
Had one of these on my phone today. Not so pretty. Ill wait for the extended battery with new case coming soon.

Got mine for 30 when tmo had the 50% off thing going can't really complain does what it says that with my chichi extended battery Is epic
[HTC Sensation] Xx12thANG3LxX:
Yeah if you got it for 30 then i understand. It is kinda cool. Just didnt like the looks at least for me.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
50% off is still going on.

just check Tmo's facebook page and print out the coupon. it expires 7/31.

anyway, it's an interesting idea but I don't like the shark fin/phone boner, even if it help with stability in the hand.
[HTC Sensation] shooric:
same here, i bet they will show in the stores after 31st :)
[HTC Sensation] 2003evo8:
Why does it say "2x the power" when the battery is 1500mAh?
[HTC Sensation] tylee80:
if you like t-Mobile on facebook, they will give you a 50% off coupon to get all accessories in a t-mobile store.

For anyone interested in the coupon

[HTC Sensation] ianken:
It is in addition to the OEM battery. The "phone boner" AFAICT is where this aux battery plugs into the original charge/data port.

Looking how fat-assed that thing makes the device I would expect way more than 1500mAh.

It's a big ugly hack, IMHO. Considering the location of the antennas, you're wrapping them between two batteries with this and blocking the mics on the back of the device.

do not want
[HTC Sensation] s0cc3rstud:
I got one

It work but the button always turn on in my pocket so I guess kill the powerskin battery first, I was hoping to use that as last resort battery!!! Other than this case is the bomb!!!!!

[HTC Sensation] apoc286:
Am I the only one worried about what damage a large impact or repeated small impacts or pressure on that hump could do to the charge connector?
[HTC Sensation] chisleu:
On top of the stupid design and appearance:

This does not pass through the USB data connection. So when the manual says you never have to take it off, they mean you never have to take it off unless you want to plug it into a computer.

Also it reduces my signal strength. I get 3-4 bars in my house, but if I put this skin on and lay the phone on my chest, I lose signal. It usually costs me 1-2 bars of strength when held normally.

Returning this POS. getting a hard skin.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
I'm selling mine sealed in box if anyone wants it. Pm me.
[HTC Sensation] :
Just got mine today with the Tmo 50% off and I can't complain about it, full signal strength no problems so far...

Yes.

[HTC Sensation] RaViCa:
I held one of these in the store last month. Unfortunately my Sensation was being shipped to me at the time so I had no way of actually testing it in the case but the rep at the store let me remove it for the case so I can see how it felt in the hand. I felt that it would make the sensation too bulky for my liking and yes I too don't like the "boner" on the case either.

The added bulk was my main concern though. I like to clip my phone to my hip with with a fitted case or holster and was concerned that the added bulk would not make that possible and definitely didn't want to put it in my pocket.

I ended up having to spend my 50% OFF coupon on something else. :(

[Atrix 4G Accessories] Mgamerz:
When making a call with the car dock I don't want it by default to use the speaker. Obviously it's using the audio out of the USB cable... I'm not sure if the phone knows that it's the audio out (I don't think it's treated like a headphone jack cause things don't pause), and I am wondering if theres a way to make it default to audio jack. I hate being distracted trying to turn off the speaker so it goes through my car speakers.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] rusreid:
What about using the actual headphone jack? I haven't tried it, but I just though about it. Although, it would mean having to have a longer audio cable for some of us. Just a thought.
