All the links to Chingy51o ROM's will be down in the Tbolt forums. Go to themikmik.com to download. I wouldn't suggest TPS 1.5 though. It's old, based on a froyo leak that no kernels were ever developed for, and there's sereveral that are faster and more developed. Do you want feature-rich and solid as the Rock of Gibraltar, or, do you want a ROM that runs like a raped ape on fire? If you want feature rich and solidly developed, go to TeamBAMF.net and try one of theirs. If you like speed and all the junk pulled out, try themikmik.com and check out Chingy's ROM's. If you're feeling senseless, OMFGB is probably the best AOSP ROM out there. And then there's always CM7, which is starting to look like a finished product. I like Gingeritus3D V1.0 BetaV. V and VI are as fast as any gingerbread ROM I've ever used, if not faster, even with all the extra graphic load and Sense features. And it's reliable.

If batter life is what you crave, Froyo is probably the way to go. In that event, would definitely suggest BAMF. They seem to have the most developed Froyo builds with the best kernels. And they're great guys over there to who are always happy to help.

That question is about as tough as us telling you what's the best car to drive for you.

Not for us...but for you...

As said, best thing you can possibly do is make a backup of stock via clockwork recovery mode.

Do NOT use ROM or Kernal manager to flash Roms or kernals. Use Clockwork.

There are a TON of good ROMs out there...lately, there has been a little bit of an exodus of talented developers...politics are politics. It's too bad.

My advice is any time you go from one ROM to another, wipe data, cache and dalvik.

DroidTh3ory makes a great ROM (running it now)

BAMF makes a great one (Have run them a lot in the past) google search...they are no longer on XDA

Virus (Synergy, airborne) makes a great ROM

Chingy (Gingeritis, liquid ginger, perfect storm) makes a great ROM. Google him as well, no longer here.

Pretty much any of the Developers make two flavors of their ROMs, with Sense and without. 100% personal preference. If you like the eye candy...stay with Sense. Trade off is a little speed an performance and battery life (you may not even notice) vs. a non-sense based ROM.

Without a doubt, the most popular AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROM is CM7.

Personally...I like sense. I've tried 2 or 3 non-sense based ROMs...I like candy, what can I say?

ROM Suggestion

I tried Perfect Storm v1.5 as well as my first ROM and it was good however I have now moved on to Eaton ROM v1.5.3 and it is flawless!
[Thunderbolt General] Boostjunky:
I've tried a few different ROMs, to include Das BAMF (RC4.9), Ging3r3dTh3ory, Liquid Thunderbread v1.4, as well as Gingeritis v1.2 and Gingeritis 3d v1.0 Beta VI.

I really liked the eye candy that Das BAMF had in his ROMs. It seemed pretty stable, too, but I haven't been able to find a Sense ROM that beats Gingeritis. Either "Gingeritis v1.2 non-3D" or "Gingeritis 3D v1.0 Beta VI", have both been very reliable, and the 3D version is very snappy considering it's 3D and Beta.
[Thunderbolt General] dogthunder1104:
I have not tried any other roms other than Th3ory roms and they are awesome , great battery life.
[Thunderbolt General] arfore:
I have been running the ROMs released by Th3ory. I started out with the Sense 3.0 ROM, then moved to a 2.1/3.0 Hybrid. Now I am running his latest CM7/AOSP mashup. It is rock solid for the most part. While I do miss some of the Sense UI elements, the sheer speed and performance, not to mention battery life, with the AOSP ROM is phenomenal.

Also, I do recommend the use of the 627 radio as well with this ROM.
[Thunderbolt General] greenjeans:
I've tried every rom out there (up until about a week ago or so), and Th3ory Roms are easily the best for me. I value Performance first, Stability second, and debloating third. Every Rom that DroidTh3ory has put out has out performed all other roms for my needs. His latest offering, Pur3A05P, is amazing. I've never had an android experience so smooth, snappy, and stable. Not to mention fully AOSP, so fully debloated.

Also, you should see about flashing the latest radio. It's available at themikmik.com, labeled something like (2.xxx.xxx.xx). A reminder: A radio image is flashed by placing the file, named exactly 'PG05IMG.zip', on the root of your SD card, rebooting into hboot (vol- while booting), and accepting the upgrade. Also, make sure you delete or rename the radio off of your sd card once your done!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dekere:
I recently put Dex's CM7 on my DINC, couple of issues that I dont like so I was thinking of downgrading to a sense rom, but in my search on here, I cant find what all is involved. Can anyone help? or just point me toward the right topic...Thanx
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Just find the rom you'd like and flash it. When changing roms, I'd definitely recommend doing a full wipe before flashing, that being data wipe, cache wipe, and format /system in the "mounts and storage" menu.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UHF3:
"Downgrading to a sense ROM." Ok....try this one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
I have been trying to find a radio/ril combination that works with my phone and ROM but have yet to find a single one to be more accurate than 50m, yet alone one that can attain a lock within an hour.

I am using LeeDroid and i think the problem is with the ROM. Something about it just won't work in this area.

Is anybody in the DFW area (Texas) having any luck with a ROM where you can actually use the GPS?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
I use CM7 and GPS works but there's a "known flaw" w/ the GPS module on our phones.

Try Android Revolution HD. GPS works perfectly
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
I have had nothing BUT problems with my GPS - I have tried 5 or 6 different roms - radios and ril - Angel Death Patch - wipe EFS data

Sometimes it works great, but most of the time - nothing!

Getting ready to unroot and get a replacement...

Lee Droid was however the only rom I ever ran that gave me a 1m GPS lock - for one day...

[Vibrant General] newnoobkid:
Buying my vibrant on Monday. Am not new to flashing however its going to be with new hardware all around. Pretty sure the root process will be a breeze. I'm familiar with Mac but this will be the first time using it for modding so any tips for that would be appreciated. Know about TT backup got it covered. Need to know will CM7 due in the ROM department for little tweaks like led notifications. Know I can check the changlog but come on guys were all pals right. Any noob/news flashes I might need to know other than that much appreciated.

.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
First off make sure your getting a vibrant 3g, not a 4g. The 4g has minimal development support and the roms will not work vice versa.

You said your familiar with a Mac? Doesn't that mean you own one? If so then no ODIN for you, which is the software you need to put your phone back to stock... So go pick up a PC.... Jeez people and Macs these days... jankkkkk.

Further, CM7 is pretty good, it's stable for me and a whole slew of people..

Here is my link on a guide on how to put CM7 on the vibrant, assuming you know how to at least root and use an android phone minimally, doing everything shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes max.

[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
According to this tweet from Verizon's News Feed (@VZWNews), Memphis can expect LTE to rollout on August 18th.

Let's use this thread to share when we get LTE in various spots of the city that haven't had it before.

And as always, GET EXCITED!!!
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
I can't wait!!! :D please cover bartlett lol
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Ha! I know! I work in Cordova (Appling/Whitten) area. I live just east of Memphis in Fayette County. I go to school at the University of Memphis. Somewhere in there is bound to get LTE. lol
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
I work at poplar and white station. Lte extended is like 5 blocks from me. Lol. I drove on 240 near the airport JUST to see 4G on my phone for literally 7 seconds. ;)
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
I know I'm showing my nerdy side here but occasionally if I get bored enough, I'll drive over near the airport to play on LTE. I even took my laptop over there and tethered over 4G. It was BLAZING!!!

Cannot wait!
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
I think I've seen like 4 people off here that's in or very near Memphis. Pretty cool.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Trust me. Once Verizon releases a press release saying that LTE will be in Memphis on 8/18, then they'll all come out of the woodwork. lol
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
LOL. Cant wait!
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Yeah you can probably count on an official press release this week.
[Thunderbolt General] el-zilcho:
Fed Ex , Poplar and White Station , and Kirby Whitten I believe .
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
What's that?
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Ummm...huh?
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Bump
[Thunderbolt General] Bigandrewgold:
Yay for already having it here in collierville
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Yep. They've expanded it to part of Germantown around Poplar Pike.

Wish we could get more confirmation.
[Thunderbolt General] thisguyeh:
:Dand the long wait is coming to an end !!! hello neighbors lol
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Bump.

Any new info? I've been harassing VZW support on Twitter and can't get confirmation.
[Thunderbolt General] KPT42:
4G pops up on my phone for short periods pretty regularly between 3 and 4 am, off of Rivergate. I'd say the 18th is likely, I haven't seen 4G tested here before.
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
edit 10char
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
That's a good sign...I'm hardly ever up between 3-4am.

Looked up Rivergate. Says its near downtown. I don't think that's in the current 4G area. Wish me had someone further north that could say the same thing.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
http://nems360.com/bookmark/14922465-Verizon-to-add-4G-in-Memphis

Anybody seen anything?
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
I see bartlett and cordova. :D
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Yeah but what's so strange to me is that no one that is officially with Verizon will confirm that date.

They're driving me insane!!
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
They don't really announce it until they turn it on do they? A lot of.cities will be turned on that day. I doubt they'd announce them all ahead of the 16th maybe.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Yeah that's true. But for some of the cities, if not all, they release a press release.

I guess in the end, we'll all know on or near 15 days from now. lol
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
It's on my calendar sir!
[Thunderbolt General] ohiog:
Cant wait. My GF can finally realize that AT&T is not better than Verizon

[Thunderbolt General] JasonU:
I've had it most of the morning out in East East Memphis.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
What are some streets near you bro? Need to check if that's new on their map.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
A buddy on Twitter said he had LTE on the way to work from Bartlett to East Memphis. That is a good sign!! :D
[Thunderbolt General] JasonU:
This was in the Poplar/Massey area. And it's super flaky, slow/non responsive one moment, fast the next. Must still be testing.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Great. I'll be near Wolfchase in a little bit to test there.
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
What's ur twitter?
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
@CanesDrew
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
LTE along Highway 64 at Collierville Arlington. 6 up and 4 down.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Full six bars of LTE at Wolfchase.
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
Has Verizon updated their coverage map yet?
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Nope. They probably won't until its official.
[Thunderbolt General] jermny:
4G Service in Downtown

Woke up this morning and had full bars in Downtown Memphis. Main Street and Monroe to be exact.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
I think its safe to say the entire city and probably Shelby County are lit up at this point.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Speed test from Wolfchase area.
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
What rom are you on?
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Synergy

Anyone's LTE go out? I'm at whitten and I 40
[Thunderbolt General] JasonU:
It's been really iffy for me. Signal stays consistent, but there will basically be no throughput here & there.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
I've got mine set to LTE mode to save battery. Right now its in 1x mode.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
I've had steady LTE all day. How about you guys? Heading to Germantown later and I'll update if they're live.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
On the way home tonight I had LTE into Fayette County past Hwy 196. Then I lost it. It wasn't there this morning.

Here's hoping I have it when I wake up in the morning. Lol
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
I switched to synergy last night. Droidtheory was putting my speedtest server in Houston. I couldnt change it for some reason. Today im getting 12-14 down :D
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Great! Germantown was completely lit up.

Wonder if anyone from Olive Branch/Southaven or points north could chime in to see how far north its gotten.
[Thunderbolt General] Bigandrewgold:
Well I'm confused. I've had 4g at my house since april here in colliervile and right now I don't have it, weird.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Who knows, man. Since they're probably still testing it out. It could go in and out in some places until mid August.

You've been lucky. Only parts of Collierville and Memphis Int'l have had LTE that long.

You could call Verizon and ask them if its a big hassle.
[Thunderbolt General] KPT42:
I was in Southaven earlier today, no 4G yet.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Hmmm. Must just be the confines of Shelby County for now.
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
Everyone still have 4g?
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Yep. I'm in Germantown at the moment and its on.
[Thunderbolt General] el-zilcho:
Got it on Airways from Stateline to the interstate , on Presscott , Park and Poplar from Highland to White Station . It is not anywhere in southaven yet .
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Yep. All of Memphis is up as far as I can tell. Nothing in Fayette County or in Desoto County. Hopefully this comes with the official launch on August 18.
[Thunderbolt General] el-zilcho:
I now have it in Southaven , at Swinea and Rasco .
[Thunderbolt General] el-zilcho:
It's two bars .
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
Nice! 10 char
[Thunderbolt General] thisguyeh:
My 4g is not so fast. Weird. Tested in strong signal areas too.
[Thunderbolt General] Bigandrewgold:
got it back in collierville, and it is the normal 12-20 down I am use to
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
That's good. I'm really hoping that I get it at my house in Fayette county soon. I have to keep switching my antenna from cdma auto to LTE mode when I leave home.

Maybe I can call Verizon and complain and weasel out a free extended battery?

Congrats, you guys are going to love it. I love to read about new LTE rollouts. :)
[Thunderbolt General] JasonU:
I've had the same issue. Started out fairly fast, 7Mbit or better. Now it's more like 3-4 most places in the metro.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Yeah speeds are relatively slow and the reliability of the signal isn't great.

It'll get better I'm sure.

[Thunderbolt General] JasonU:
In a way, I'm relieved. Not happy about having near-3G speeds on a next generation network, but I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was beginning to wonder if it was my phone.

Hope they get it sorted out soon. I've talked to a VZW engineer working on LTE deployment in another market, and they're not opening it up there until it's as good as can be, including having appropriate backhaul. I'm surprised they lit up the 4G here before it was ready for primetime. I'd rather they waited a little longer and had it right. :(
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
Aug 18th right?
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
From what I can tell, it seems like the LTE coverage is expanding. Anyone else?

[Thunderbolt General] PolishPoet:
I'm in Bartlett and have it and it's smoking! 11 - 21 down. I was in Olive Branch yesterday and got about the same there. Until it's officially rolled out and testing and configuration continue, I'd expect to see lapses in speed and availability.

Go Verizon! :):):)
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Yeah. I'm in Fayette county and it seems to be moving further East each morning I ride into work. Speeds have been so so.

Sent from Synergized Thunderbolt via the XDA Premium App
[Thunderbolt General] JasonU:
Well, I've been running a lot of errands around town the last couple of days, so I did some more speed testing, mostly still in East Memphis, but some in Midtown as well. Yesterday speeds were great - saw in excess of 7/4 for the first time in a week. Today, a little slower again, upstream especially. Averaging 6/1 most places, though I saw 6/4 early this morning.

Will be in the G'town Rd corridor this evening, we'll see how it looks along there.

Where are people experiencing the highest speeds (Major intersections/neighborhoods)? I'll try to get out to one of those areas and run a speed test to see if it's my phone or not. I don't think it is considering I've gotten spectacular speeds before they lit up the city, but I want to make sure.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Yeah I have not seen anything spectacular. It might be fully turned on until Thursday. Who knows? My max has been 9 down and 2-3 up for the most part.
[Thunderbolt General] JasonU:
Ok, clearly it's not my phone. Been running speed tests all the way up G'town and in most cases speeds are a lot better - 10-11 Mbit.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
What did they promise? 5-12 down? We are probably right where we are supposed to be. Hopefully coverage is expanded a bit.
[Thunderbolt General] JasonU:
Yes, but in my experience, the upstream has been severely constrained - often sub-megabit, often poor enough to make good ol' 3g seem fast. :-\

Turns out maybe it's just East Memphis?
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Wouldn't you know it. That just happens to be where I spend a good chunk of my time. Go figure.

Lucky us. Lol

I'm going to Memphis today and will be staying with my friends in Walls for the week. Last year, I got consistent 2.5mbps down/1 up speeds on 3G! They have 2 massive cell towers not far from their house and I had a constant -55dBm signal. I think one of those towers is gonna have 4G and I'm very excited to see what kinda speeds I can get, cause in Walls, on 4G, you kinda have the cell tower to yourself :p

My vibrate works, but I had a blackjack 2 which shook violently, I guess this one is just weak.

Even when I was bone stock no root, I couldn't figure out how to get my phone to give me haptic feedback. I even tried downloading a program called forcevibrate that didn't work.

Running ARHD2.1 currently, every past Rom didn't help either. Multiple wipes and factory resets to no avail. Anyone any ideas? Can someone list all haptic feedback options in various menus so I can check if I missed something?
[HTC Inspire 4G] oxlong27:
try downloading spare parts and check the baltic feedback option also menu/settings/sound settings you can adjust how strong the feedback is. hope that helps. the haptic on my inspire seems quite strong at least compared to my captivate. if it doesn't work after using spare parts I would assume it's a hardware issue
[HTC Inspire 4G] jkearn:
Tried it, no luck. I have two ring scratches on my screen and a nick on the corner of the outside so even though I'm on warranty (HTCs not ATT) I don't think they'd hook me up.

[HTC Inspire 4G] oxlong27:
yeah I have no issue at all as I said my feedback is quite strong. is yours just extremely weak or doesn't work at all at this point? was the phone dropped pretty hard? I would try for a warranty couldn't hurt. getting it unrooted and s off is not too hard
