Very smooth..

Installed 1.6 (lorDmod) yesterday morning and haven't looked back. I must say I was a little leery of switching from 1.5 since it was already perfect but curiosity made me. Glad I did this ROM seems flawless also. I'm new to Androids but I'm glad I made the switch and found resources like this site and Dev's!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
Glad to have you onboard.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fd4101:
My OTA still show 1.5 ROM. Is it still working?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Yes, it still works. Until you see 2. X everything will still work!! It's the same base. The 1.x is just a number system for little tweaks and fixes along the way
[HTC Inspire 4G] Trevino07:
Glad you are enjoying the Mod/Rom. We have a Awesome Team, who is always willing to lend a hand. Enjoy!!!!!

talonace kernals

Whats the difference between miui/non miui talonace kernels? on a search i could only find a reference to the rom which probably has something to do with it but I don't spot the connection.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
The ota app is under construction, we are working on an upgrade! Links all still work, just haven't updated everything. For now, use ROM links in the thread. Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Terrold:
Is anyone having wifi or data drops? Had to restart phone. I then went to the lordmod kernel to see if it was just talonace kernel dropping it.

Anyway just came back into checking up on xda. After running Adam's rom and him leaving I was skeptic about leaving his rom. Glad to see the team still remains. Awesome job guys.

The whole reason I like Android is being able to customize my phone and you guys do an amazing job of letting me do it. No other rom lets me change the look of my phone like this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
I have had drop. But att is messing with the towers where I live. Not rom related.

Glad you decided to try this out. And so happy you like it!!!

Hopefully Adam's dad is getting better, and he'll be back again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
This ROM is awesome but I have question is there a way to change the orange color on it? I tried the themes but for some reason when the phone locks and I unlock it phone goes back to the orange theme and the widgets I make custom thru ADW return to stock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Out zip themes?? Or theme Chooser ones?? And very strange about the icons.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ladiesgod:
This is a little off topic but maybe someone here can help me. I was trying to flash the absolution ROM but used the ace hack kit first to boot to stock. Anyways as it was downgrading the radio( this is what it said on the command prompt) I disconnected it because it was taking forever. I figured something was wrong. Now when I turn my phone back on I just get the htc splash, and if I try to boot to recover all I get is the warning symbol. Am I screwed or can this be resovled? thank you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Go back to the hack kit thread, look on the bottom of the first post. It says if you need help to hit up the irc or search the thread. That issue has been brought up in there. The guys on the hack kit irc are great. Go there for the help you seek.

Edit...wait, were you rooted already? Why were you tying to boot back to stock before flashing another rom? ?????

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] ladiesgod:
I flashed absolution aftef doing a thoro wipe and text messaging was very screwy. It would type numbers by itself.

So i figured it needed a flashback to stock then re root it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Oh no... no need to ever go back to stock on this phone... just a factory reset, a fresh dl and you should be set.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
What Ashley said lol

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
Can you get into Recovery??? It so just Full Wipe then reflash Absolution. if not try with thishttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1208507 on your sd card, it will bring the phone up to stock and s-on. the retry the hack kit. Just rename it to PDIMG98. Hope it works for you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Its the advent theme from OTA that wont hold so I tried ADW themes and widgets.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fd4101:
Question for App

I don't know if this is appropriate for this forum. You guys seem really cool and quick to respond so i figured i would ask you all. I have been thinking of replacing my laptop for a tablet on the road, the thing holding me back is a keyboard. I really don't want to get a Keyboard dock. It kinda defeats the purpose and portability of the tablet. So my question is...is their a app for handwriting recognition that actually works, and have any of you had any experience with them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Put advent.zip on the root of your sd card. Boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik. Choose zip to flash, and be done... Should be no problems, as long as you have theme chooser set to system before you get started....
[HTC Inspire 4G] shelbyisagirlsname:
ADW has been force closing like crazy the past 2 days. Any ideas?

Thanks!

EDIT: even after rebooting I instantly got struck with an ADW force close
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
I remember reading somewhere that LordMod BFS kernels are causing some issues with data drops and that CFS kernels are being recommended until they can figure out what's going on? I may be making that up though, but I remember seeing something along those lines..either way I'm using LordMod's Absolution with no problem what so ever!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
I'm not aware of any. Sorry.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Cool thx will give it a shot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
AWESOME thanks for the method. Works well now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cire216:
Was trying to install netflix (blue) sand nothing happened, updated installer first... Do I have to have the market version installed pior to using the mod tools?

Sent from my Inspire 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
It takes a few minutes for it to do it's thing. If the console didn't pop up telling you it was done, you didn't let it finish. It doesn't matter if you have Netflix installed or not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cire216:
Alright, thanks for the prompt reply. Gonna reboot and give it another run.

Edit: so I tried again, console came up. And quickly came up "finished, return value is 127"... Let it sit for a few and nothing. Any ideals?

Sent from my Inspire 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] shelbyisagirlsname:
Is no one else having problems with ADW force closing? I guess its time to flash 1.6 and see if that fixes it :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dsmitty166:
Sounds like you have an old version. Is everything updated?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ladiesgod:
This helped me get to where I needed to be, I'm back in full effect. Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
Hey glad to be of help!!! Trial and error my friend. And its great to ask when we can't figure it out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sharksfan7:
I installed 1.6 over the weekend have been blown away by the battery life I've been getting. This being the first non-Sense ROM I've tried, I'm still trying to get used to some of the little cosmetic things that I can't seem to change, but overall I really like this ROM.

However, something happened today that I hope someone could shed some light on. I plugged my phone in to charge overnight. This morning I unplugged the phone and rebooted. During the boot animation the led started flashing and a few seconds after the lock screen came up the phone shut off! Tried powering up again and when the lock screen came up again I noticed it said the battery was at 0%. I plugged it in before it shut off and after a moment it jumped from 0% to 99%. I let it go to 100%, rebooted while it was still plugged in, unplugged and it seemed to hold steady. I rebooted again while unplugged to see if it would drop to 0% again. It did not. Everything seems to be back to normal.

So was this just some random anomaly with the ROM? I never saw that happen before with the stock ROM. Could it indicate a coming problem with the battery? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
This is the first report of anything like this in a few thousand downloads, so it is safe to say that it isn't the ROM itself. I guess it be the battery itself, but I would think that it far more likely to be either a corrupted battery stats file or just a bad flash in general. I would calibrate and if that doesn't fix it, reflash the ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sharksfan7:
After the last restart it seems to be running as normal with the battery draining at the same rate I would expect. I'm gonna just run it as I normally would and see if it happens again or if I start noticing anything different. Thanks for the input.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Trevino07:
I had this happen to me once, I calibrated the battery and when I flashed a add on the problem came back, so it was a bad flash, I would recommend dl the Rom again cuz the previous dl maybe corrupt, re-flash the rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] Droidalok:
Noob question

Hi guys,

Just started playing with ROMs. I tried using the absolution (11/4/11 release). Everything was running fine but after a few hours I started getting errors causing force closure of the google framework, android.phone and market. I use the HTC inspire 4G, is there anyway to stabilize the ROM on my device? Hope you guys can come up with some helpful suggestions for a Noob.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
Well abso was built to inspire. It's what we all carry. It should of been very stable.

What rom did you come from? Did you factory reset before flashing?? Did you wipe caches? ? Did you use tibu and maybe restore some system app????

If you think you did restore something wrong with tibu, wipe, reflash, and then only restore user apps, no data apps. And as much of a pain it might be, might wanna go one at a time so you can check and see what messed it up

However. If you did the correct steps. Maybe you had a bad dl. So might wanna retry dl 'ing it, and reflashing..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Droidalok:
Thank you

I come from the CoreDroid 8.1. I did do a factory reset and a wipe on the caches. However, I used Titanium backup to restore all my apps with data, like you mentioned using the batch mode. I shall test it with single application restore as you suggest and will get back to you. Thanks for the prompt response, your ROM looks and feels awesome :)

Wow... that helped, turns out it was a system app being restored that was causing the issue with the force closes. Loving the ROM and the way it feels. Beautifully done... +1 for prompt and awesome responses. Awaiting your next build eagerly :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] c.virus:
Hi,

I have an Inspire 4G in India which I bought from US few months ago. I got the sim unlocked and currently using Vodafone services in India. The version is currently Andriod 2.2.1

I have 2 questions:

Q1: I have activated 3g service, however, cannot find the option to select dual network in the Mobile Network Settings. Whenever I connect, I do not see the H+ symbol instead see the E symbol, which I believe is running 2g.

Is there a way I can start 3g?

Q2: Can I run the OTA update from AT&T to upgrade to Gingerbread? Will this lock the phone once again? or is Rooting the only option to upgrade?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
1 Your phone will only operate on 2G out side of the US/ATT network .

2 If you're currently rooted, do not run the OTA. Root and flashing will be your only option for GB. I'm not sure if the OTA would reaply the sim lock.

Saved and Texan by the grace of God, Redneck by choice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Droidalok:
Is there a reason why the phone will only run on 2g outside the US? I mean India does support the frequency (1900 Mhz). Is there a possible way of enabling the device to operate on 3g outside the US?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
The hardware antenna is only programed to pick up the att 3g bands. Only telstra in Australia and Canada run the same 3g bands as the US. There is no way short of replacing the hardware to get this done.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Droidalok:
Thanks

Guessed as much, was planning to go to an HTC service center here to see if they can help me out with it, I guess it would be cheaper to buy a new phone instead :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] mateusm:
I'm super pumped to flash this rom, but wondering what's the difference between TalonAce and LorDModUE. Does one differ from another in performance, appearance or something else?

PS: I take it those are different kernels? << Newbie...

Thank you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Yes sir, different kernels. Enjoy!
[HTC Inspire 4G] c.virus:
Thanks,

Is GB update highly recommended? iv ready a few reviews that they have issues.

Which Rom do you recommend for someone who is rooting for the 1st time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Really...

Edit- read, search, read, root, and might as well try ours since your asking in a thread related to our rom....

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
Root is not the same as flashing custom Roms. Root is giving extra permissions to your phone so it can run apps, access things, customize things, etc. Now if u plan to flash a custom Rom and you are asking on Absolution q/a, of course it will be Absolution . This is a great Rom, But as advice goes, you'll have to try them for yourself. It's a personal choice and should fit your needs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thoffland:
from one newbie to another I would suggest the lordmod version. I spend a lot of time reading on here and it seems that it will give you a more stable experience.

As far as roms go, definitely try Absolution. I've been through my share of roms and this is by far my favorite. Play with it for a while, customize it, then do a nandroid backup of it because after you try other roms your going to want to come back!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
Both kernels do a great job but Lordmod's seems to be smoother for me. As to Absolution, it is an excellent ROM ( might be a little biased :-) ). However I've seen the hard work put into it and hopefully you've seen how helpful the Team can be. Don't think you will be disappointed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrmytouch:
Hi team absolution just want to thank you for this rom very creepy and lots of tweaks and also thanks to bsbachert for porting it to mytouch4g. sorry for posting this here but im a noob.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
We are glad he has taken the time to port it over for you guys. And glad you are liking it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] thoffland:
Well everyone, I've enjoyed the fruits of your labor but I couldn't take the lack of coverage with ATT so today I've ordered a RAZR. I'm hoping that in the future The Collective will be developing roms for it, but I'll have to wait and see. It's been a great run, you all have been so helpful and patient.

I'll keep bugging you until I get my new phone, but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for helping a newbie.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thenocturnalnurse:
BTW, I just flashed the pumpkin king, I have a few questions though:

1. Where can I find the default wallpaper for it? Because my wallpaper did not change upon flashing.

2. and I saw on the image that there's a custom icons? I cannot seem to find it either

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] maatsby:
1. I wondered the same at first, so I went through the framework-res.apk and pulled this out

2. don't know about that one! if anyone knows it would be cool to find out, I'm loving the theme and that would take it that extra step ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] thenocturnalnurse:
Thank you for this one! :) Really appreciate it..
[HTC Inspire 4G] maatsby:
no worries :) i was wondering if the icon thing might be to do with ADW, I'll have a look in to it a bit later on. But of course if someone knows that would be much appreciated
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
ICONS. Check the theme thread next time as well. :):)

You need to download, unpack, and replace using adwex or your favorite launcher. Link below...enjoy!

dockbar question

I have been searching and reading many pages and I have not found an answer to this. I'm running absolution with lordmod and was wanting to add more items than 3 to the dockbar. Is this possible with this ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
I have 5 on mine right now. I use adw ex launcher. You change the amount using whatever launcher you use.

[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
heard tale that pops/clicking/interruptions in music apps in a know problem with cm based roms..........was reccomended to try player pro. still having issues.........thb i havent really noticed this issue with other roms.

does anyone know any way of fixing this issue? i have wiped and reflashed, tried a couple different kernels....dosnt seem to make a difference. it dosnt make music completely un listenable but its noticeable enough to frustrate me
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Which version of abso are your running? I have played music on all versions fine on my phone since first beta using player pro and Google music.

You are hearing these pops while using headset, speakers, or Bluetooth headset?

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
im on 1.6, was the same on 1.5. Hearing on headset, have tried multiple headsets. MOST of the pops and clicks happend during locking/unlocking the phone, or manuevering menus, entering and exiting the music app, etc. with just a few random skips when im not touching the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Hmmm...well couple things to try/suggest:

-flash the newest abso 2.0, its. awesome :)

-see if you can get you hands on a Bluetooth headset and test if it pops while listening to music minus the wires.

-next...give up on music? No just playing. After those I'm out of ideas. Maybe one of the other teammates will jump in with some input.

Edit----

Ooo...another question...is this music from your SD card or streaming music?

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
oh crap ive been slacking. didnt realize we were up to 2.0.

I have a bluetooth headset that i use occasionally, i dont recall hearing it when using it but ill try again........

think theres any possiblity that a combination of using a LWP with maybe not using the best governer choice could be contributing factor? meh im grasping at straws. ill experiment though
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
That's half the fun/frustration of flashing roms. Trying everything out to see what the best fit is for your situation. :)

I never use LWP so I can't say its ever affected mine.

Yeah your behind...get with the program here!!!! Lollll

Do you have the sound notifcations turned on for scrolling and lock/unlock?

Battery (Android System drain)

Well, I hate to sound like a noob, but here it goes....

Android System seems to be draining my battery life pretty quickly. I've done a search and it seems that can happen with an unrecommended radio. I'm using the correct radio (12.56.60.25p_26.10.04.03_M) though. Any ideas?

In addition, it's also extremely slow to charge.

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
In order to troubleshoot, more information is needed. Which kernel are you running? Which version of Absolution? What apps do you have running? What widgets? What programs are you actually using frequently? These may give a clue.

Slow to charge might mean you are on Talon or it might be an issue with the actual battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Palvi, sounds more than anything like a bad flash or wipe beforehand. Try a clean wipe and fresh flash..
[HTC Inspire 4G] redwardson:
The only time I had popping on music from SD card using the stock music player was when I was too aggressively UV. Stopped UV altogether and popping went away.
[HTC Inspire 4G] palvi:
battery

Absolution 2.0_TA

TalonACE 7x30-v1.1.2-cfs

Other than that, apps and widgets are the same as I've always run, using Go Launcher Ex (always have).

I'll try a clean wipe and reflash to see if that helps. Also, switch to LordMod kernel. Any suggestion as to which one?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gio22:
Try Ras's suggestion by redownloading the rom and flash it as is. See if that helps first before changing kernels. Also please make sure you do a full wipe first. And it doesn't sound like you need to be reminded this, but I'll state for others. Make sure you backup your apps first.

That leads to another question. If you do a restore, are you restoring only apps or also system? Should be only apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Johnn_ares:
Phone / Dialer Troubles

I'm using "Touchpad Dialer" and not the stock one, when I receive a notification of a missed call I have to go into the stock dialer to clear it. Is there some way to disable notifications from the stock dialer?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
With using 2.0 - anyone know of a way to NOT let google sync a calendar upon adding a google account?

I have tried turning off background syncing but every time I add the account it syncs.

The reason I ask is because when it does sync, I get calendar notifications on an account that I do not want to receive. Even after going into calendars and setting that calendar to not show - the reminders still come through.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
Unchecking the calendar under accounts and sync doesn't do it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
To the best of my knowledge, there is not, short of completely removing the contacts.apk and phone.apk. I can't imagine that that wouldn't break something else.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Right - you would think so. I have even removed the account, which does clear all the calendar reminders.

Then I turn off background data sync and add the account back in and the darn thing syncs just the calendar - Leaves the contacts and gmail alone.

Here is my reason - since this seems like a weird question.

When I got my first Android phone I set it up with an gmail account that my wife an I shared. Now that we have both made the move, I let her use the first account and I use a new one. The problem is I brought a quite a few apps with the first account - So I use it for the market apps. Everything else like contacts, calendar and email I use my own.

When using a sense rom and adding the account - when it first starts to sync, there is a check box that I can tick to stop the syncing - but you have to be on your toes to stop it.

I will keep playing around - but if anyone else has some insight...

BTW - I am digging this so far!
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
Why don't you use the first account to get the market apps that you want then use titanium backup to back those apps. Then do a fresh install and restore the apps with tibu. That seems to do the trick doesn't it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
I could give that a try.

Never messed with restoring anything as I assumed it might screw things up.

Can that be done no matter what type of rom you are on (i.e. sense or aosp)?
