[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
The launcher still stutters for some people? I thought it was fixed. I've been running MR1 for a few weeks without a hitch. It's silky smooth.

Granted, I only run two widgets on the center screen: BusinessCal 3x2 and GoTasks 2x2. I have 3 "folders," and everything else is just icons.

I'm using the default background, and I have the following icons in my "always" bar at the bottom:

camera(stock), phone, apps, RealCalc, Chrome.

I'm using 5 homescreens with the following enabled:

searchbar

resize any widget

Scroll Wallpaper

Show Page Indicator

The following is DISabled

Fade Indicator

For the Drawer, I have the following enabled:

Show Page INdicator

Show Market Button

The following is DISabled

Join with Apps

Fade Indicator

Also, and possibly most important, I have the "Auto-rotate screen" DISabled in the "General" preferences.

Could one of those settings explain why my setup runs smoothly?

[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Its not the same as the launcher stutter issue awhile back, that was fixed (ie scrolling through home pages),.. This is just overall performance of the launcher.. (ie when opening app drawer there's some small micro lag). The difference can be seen with some 3rd party launchers. Although disabling Join with Apps fixes some of this, but it shouldn't be happing with it enabled. Most bugs are fixed, we are now getting down to the small stuff

eagerly waiting for MR2 :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
Just wondering, is mr2 going to be the final edition of this rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikhailM1:
I think you are at least the second person to ask this!
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Im not sure to be honest. Im trying to get a few things fixed up for MR2 and depending on whats left after MR2 release (ie. if I get the micro lag in opening/closing app drawer in the launcher) fixed, there might be a MR3 or possibly a v1.0.0-RC1 final release. It all just depends on if theres enough changes to be added or not. But upcoming release will be a MR release, that way I can leave it open to a RC1 final or MR3. I dont want to have 20 "Final" releases lol.

SW Engr: Hard to say....I want to fully test it first.

Manager: ....Is a month long enough?

SW Engr: Sure! I'll have a new build with all of my tweaks for testing by then!

it will be done?

I think that I'm the first. Some people were saying that mr2 would probably be the last, but had no evidence to that fact. I read pretty much every comment, except for a couple that I got behind on due to my work schedule. K. Now this discussion is over, so let's not clog up the development thread.

I think this ROM looks really good. I use tmobile and im having trouble finding a radio that will work with this ROM. Help me please? :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
The stock radio is as good as it gets. This phone only has the AT&T bands. T-Mobile has just

barely

started to roll out 1900MHz bands in some areas (mainly to appease iPhone users). If you aren't in one of those special areas right now, then 2G access is all you get. Good enough for voice, but barely livable for data.

Will our calendar app update to the most recent version?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roberto_Lim:
Looking at all the Desire HD projects which are now abandoned as their developers leave a very good ROM and move to a new one and start over (essentially leaving you with a whole bunch of almost fully working ROM's) and almost finished projects left behind for new devices, it is nice to see this ROM still in development almost a year after its release. Ironically, it is the one that needs the last development being the only "fully working" non-Gingerbread ROM IHMO.

Thanks again existz.
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
Yah, well, it's not too surprising. A lot of us jumped ship after HTC reneged on their promise to update to ICS.

On that note: I'll still be here to keep my wife's and sister's HTC Inspire up to date with Existz's latest goodies, but I've personally received a Nexus 4 (16GB of course), so I may not be as useful in the future with bug reports. I learned my lesson. Now I can finally be up-to-date without having to rummage through a series of half-baked roms from over-worked developers who don't get any support from the companies nor the users. ;) Seriously...if I hadn't stumbled upon this rom, my Inspire would have been embedded into a brick wall by now!

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roberto_Lim:
In a way yes. But it is possible to actually have a fully working Sense 3.6 Android 4.0.3 ROM and a fully working One V port. Well if it were possible to mix and match from different ROM's. This is course would require some Dev's to give up their unfinished work to the "public domain". Would be kind of nice of abandoned projects could be donated to the community rather than members sharing some files like it was pirated material.

We are fortunate to have a fully working AOSP ROM and a Dev with a one tracked mind (and I say that in a good way). :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
Wondering if anyone can recommend software to record phone calls on this rom, or if there is a way to modify the kernel to record phone calls. This is a feature that I badly need do any help is greatly appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Kernel already has support for call recording, AFAIK it works.. u just need to download a 3rd party app to use it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JDC2389:
Hi Existz, I was wondering if you could breathe new life into our Inspires for those of us who want to make this a serious music player. Can you implement a flashable version of the kernel with usb host so the phone be used with usb dac's? Thanks again for giving us a good port of ICS :good:
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
Unfortunately every app that I've come across only supports recording one side of the conversation and picks up what ever it can from the Mic of the incoming audio. If anyone knows of an app that actually does record both sides please let me know.
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
Hmmmmm...don't hold your breath. Enabling USB host will disable client mode. That limitation kind of made development fall to the wayside. It was originally developed for Froyo ROMS, so I imagine it would take some serious work to wedge it into an ICS ROM. Extra features is not really the spirit of this ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=993152

You may want to take your request to the CyanogenMod team in the HTC Desire HD forum. Their ROM works on the Inspire after a simple Inspire patch, and they are ALL about adding features! ;)

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikhailM1:
Perhaps "...... least development ....."?

But seriously, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Excellent rom and fantastic work by Existz!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roberto_Lim:
Yes, least development. My bad. I am blaming SwiftKey Flow Beta for that one. But there is no going back to thumb typing. I just got to watch the auto correct a bit better.
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
I'm completely breaking the rules here, so it's perfectly fine to not respond. I'm giving my Inspire to my sister so that she can use it on Straight Talk (she's currently using that low-res HTC Droid that's still on Froyo...yeesh!). However, I don't want to go through all of the trouble of clearing, re-flashing, and setup if your MR2 update is about to arrive before Christmas (thereby compelling me to do it all over again). I'm assuming that you are spending more time drinking eggnog and playing with your new Galaxy then working on this, but I'd appreciate a note if you intend to drop the update before Christmas. Otherwise, I'll just update her phone at a later date (probably when I visit in March). The current release is serviceable enough. Thanks, Existz!

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] pecora:
i also hope for an Existz's Christmas gift
[HTC Inspire 4G] JDC2389:
Y'know I might have tried that except for the fact that the Cyanogen forum for this phone is DEAD[although the nightlies are still being updated], I think a lot of people would happily use a wall charger and a usb adaptor to put stuff on their phone for usb host! Just a request, completely up to Existz :3 Merry Christmas in advance everyone :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roberto_Lim:
If you are giving it to your sister, you may want to stick to ole tried and tested MR1, rather than flash MR2 which might (but not likely to) have new issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
Eh....good point. I'll just re-flash with MR1 for now. My wife will still be using her Inspire (she opted for a tablet instead), so she can be the "beta-tester" for MR2.

GPS

Thanks for the great ROM. I had the same problem with GPS when the icon won't even show up. I spent two days trying to fix it and in the end the problem was the radio. I flashed another radio using this tutorial: The HTC Desire HD Radio Thread and it fixed the problem. Hope it helps others who have the same issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mu3g:
Which radio did you flash from that thread?
[HTC Inspire 4G] maclir:
Radio 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M which can be found on this post:

Is it possible to add tap to focus on the camera? (in the camera app you tap somewhere and it focuses there)

I tried using a third party application for this but all of them take corrupted pictures (the corners are from previous pictures)
[HTC Inspire 4G] wrenhal:
That's the radio I use. Found the best combination of GPS and data with it.

That wouldn't be camera zoom would? Strange that it corrupts pictures in MR1, but in other JB roms it works fine.

Merry Christmas Existz.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Merry Christmas everyone!

I've pushed a couple new commits to github, ..also got some stuff im still testing and ill push more later if alls good, that way those who build from source have something new to play with before its actually released.. So development hasnt stopped, slowly but surely ill get MR2 up. I've gave up on the launcher for now, I'm concentrating on the issue where auto rotate causes high cpu usage...it doesn't look like its present in jellybean (at least 4.2.1), so I'm trying to see what/where it got fixed.

Edit: typo: that should have read "development HASNT stopped" lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
Existz, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to make a flashable zip that partitions the micro SD card to make the phone think that more memory is available on the phone so that more apps can be installed.

I've heard some people have great luck with those batteries and some don't. After hearing all the initial problems with batteries I went into our AT&T store and told them meet battery was having issues, they said it was normal and they'd just send me another battery. This was before my first year was up. Since rooting the phone my battery gets around twelve hours with moderate use where we have low cell signal and I have two batteries. :)

Hi,

I use the Private Internet Access VPN service with their OpenVPN configuration and it works really well on this ROM.

Please use the following OpenVPN app from the Play Store to configure your VPN service: Link (Mind you, this will only be useful if your VPN service actually has an OpenVPN configuration to use)

I was initially disappointed that the built in VPN on aospX ICS wouldn't work, but if you read this post, you will know that many stock users of Android ICS on a variety of device platforms like Samsung etc. are having trouble with it: Link

Lastly, the built-in VPN on my Nexus 7 running JB works fine. It's just ICS which might have had this issue.

media profile editing for better recording

Hi existz,

I don't know if you've come across this post, but apparently, one user has tweaked the mediaprofiles.xml file for better quality voice and video recording. This could be an implementation for a future release maybe? Or this ROM already contains that and I don't know about it.

I don't think that is possible with a asopx ROM. That is a cm feature. You can try a different launcher for the app drawer stutter.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chrisz5z:
You can't with AOSP. Only options are to use something like Widgetlocker, or pull down the notifications while at the lock screen when you get a text.... then launch it from there

This rom is awesome for my HTC Desire HD!!

But i am having MMS problems :(

Cannot send or receive, threw my sim in another phone and MMS was working.

Not sure if its just my phone, rom or radio issue.

Tried going to a different rom CM7.2 to be specific and it worked... ONCE.

I tried to send another mms and the same thing, just times out/doesn't initiate the data.

Tried different APN's, they are all correct and still nothing.

Normal internet/data works fine.

If your having MMS issues its not a ROM issue (as its proven MMS works for most), so since it works on most carriers, it leaves it as a specific carrier/network issue, meaning its probably something in the APN.

Meanwhile, even JB 4.2 is almost as stable as ICS anymore, so maybe you can try those and see if it suits your taste.
[HTC Inspire 4G] i8890321:
actually i feel the rom is perfect. hmmm. did you find any bugs need to be fixed in the future release?

Battery Very Very good compare to some 4.2 rom, that's why i back to 4.0.4

Smoothness compare to other 4.2 rom, still good, i think it's a fair.

Other minor things like BT, Camera, all work well. but compare to other 4.2 roms, still buggy, or waiting to fix.

Personally, I think AOSP is the best, other AOKP, CM just make things worst.more function, more bug, actually some of the function can be replace by just an app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SupremeBeaver:
One bug i have experienced in the current version of this rom is very choppy 720p recording. Is anybody else getting this? I was quite disappointed to experience this on Christmas day.

Will do, although a log cat isn't really necessary since this must be a problem present on all phones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
There's already an open ticket for Camera/Video issues, just post there instead of a new ticket. With 4.0.4 there's not much we can do (most are working on 4.2, which uses 3.0 kernel, so most development is going towards that).. But some of the choppiness can be corrected with modding the media_profiles.xml.

Just thought I would ask. Jumped ship to Optimus g due to similarity to nexus 4. Wonderful decision. However, that was in November and I just thought that perhaps development was suspended since I came back after almost three months and no mr2.

Thanks Exizt!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
Ok yes I'm replying to something I said, merely because someone else maybe wondering the same thing.

A flashable zip is not required, use Morborobo(Google it its a program). It can transfer apps from device to SD(among other useful things) , this is not the same thing as apptosd or doing it from the phone. Morborobo moves the entire app, and not just a part of it, so it frees up however much space an app takes up.

I have 78 apps on my sd this way and it hasn't caused my phone to reboot or any adverse affects.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikhailM1:
True, but putting the app on the sd card does slow down the phone, or rather the opening and working of the app. SD cards are optimised for longer read and write operations (like recording video) and are not very fast, no matter what class they are, at short and frequent read/write cycles, which is what happens, when using applications. This slow-down is not massive, but preceptable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
For me it's only caused a longer load time after

reboot. But it it may seem somewhat laggless bc I'm using nova(speed settings: and I know this doesn't have anything directly to do with app opening speed) , so plus I'm not one to allow my ram to get full which helps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
