[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
I've installed BR6 aospx and so far it's the best ROM for my DHD.

I notice that the recommended radio for the DHD / Inspire (please correct me if wrong), is "12.59.60.26P_26.11.04.21_M" as stated at the top of this thread.

Yet, on my DHD the Baseband (radio) version is "12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M". Googling tells me this is a stock UK (GB) Radio. I live in the UK, so this makes sense in part.

I seem to have lower signal strength on Wi-Fi with this ROM though, than my stock HTC before rooting etc. Also my mobile data is more '3G' than 'H' than it used to be, but only slightly.

Calls and all that seem fine, although some people claim not to have been able to get hold of me, leading me to believe I'm having coverage drops in my normal geographical areas where is was fine before.

My questions are:

1. Do I need to update the radio? I want to avoid if possible as it seems really risky, although I'm flashing all kinds of stuff now on my DHD and Touchpad.

2. Is it actually any more risky than rooting and S-Off...I managed to do this first time no problems with Ace Advanced Hack Kit.

3. Does anyone else have 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M (stock GB radio) after installing BR6 aospx?

4. Should the 12.59.60.26P_26.11.04.21_M recommended radio have been installed with the ROM, i.e. automatically?

5. Is the radio geographically significant, i.e. GB versions for UK, US versions for US etc.

6. is the radio network provider specific, i.e. I use Virgin Media mobile in the UK.

Sorry if these are noob questions.

Thanks.

Dont update the radio, if you have good signal with the existing radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
What would constitute a good signal? As I said it certainly seems a little lower than it was before....and people claim not to have been able to call me when my phone was on...but I don't get drop outs on calls (not yet anyway).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
1. Don't update your radio yet. Give it a few days and keep testing, if you have that luxury.

2. I don't know too much about this whole process, so I'm not sure. All I can tell you is that I've never had a problem with flashing a radio. My phone has never gotten stuck in a bootloop or anything of that sort, because of flashing a radio.

3. I do not have that radio, but I believe with earlier versions of the ROM, I did. I currently have the newest AT&T radio (in my signature).

4. No. Flashing a ROM does not change your radio.

5. Yes, I believe it does make a difference. That's why a lot of folks will tell you to try other radios if you're having issues.

6. I'm not sure about this one. You may want to read through the Inspire Radio Thread that's stickied in this Development forum.

Oh, and the WiFi signal show lower than on your stock GB ROM, that's a known ICS behavior. Your actual signal should be fine, it's just the icon is showing slightly differently.

Can anyone please give me link to latest flashable radio?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
I posted the latest AT&T radio a few pages back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] iPwn_:
His isn't 15 fps :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
Does this radio works with desire HD?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
I'm not sure. I don't have a DHD.
[HTC Inspire 4G] indigolemon:
DHD users asking about Radio's - read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877295

For what it's worth, I'm in the UK on the Three network and am having great success with the latest DHD radio: 12.68.60.29U_26.16.04.09
[HTC Inspire 4G] sashank:
Yes, it works with DHD. Been using it for nearly a month now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
You have a DHD, inspire is a DHD, which has different radio bands to fit AT&T network...;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
It's not quite the same, that's why we have to flash inspiremod. I didn't want to give an answer I didn't know for sure, especially one that deals with a radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
U sure? Looking at the media_profiles.xml on his github, its 15fps

EDIT:

Just downloaded his latest rom, its 15fps...you can verify by looking at /system/etc/media_profiles.xml , scroll down and you will see frameRate="15" for 480p and 720p
[HTC Inspire 4G] fishykipper:
After a few days of use I have to say this is the smoothest fastest and most enjoyable ROM I've ever used on my DHD. The screen colours and quality are superb compared to other ICS and Jellybean ROMs. Thanks so much, looking forward to release 7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
wow bro at last my network signals are better

[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
Ooo yeah...Thankx man..Downloading now:fingers-crossed:
[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
Thanks indigolemon. I will try that. Do you know if you can backup original radio before reflash?
[HTC Inspire 4G] iPwn_:
VLC on my computer is telling me 28.6 FPS with 1280x720 resolution. It looks very smooth too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Well it should be the same on aospX then,...but either way recording frameRate is capped to 15 on both roms (it wont record any other way)..But other parts of his media_profiles might be setup differently, so ill look into it more for bitrate and everything else.

EDIT

His media_profiles.xml does come out smoother (but frameRate is still at 15)...can you replace the one in aospX with his to verify? (U will need to reboot for it to take effect)... if so then I'll include it in the next release. The media_profiles.xml is in /system/etc
[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
Hey existz.

Best rom on my dhd, noticed a few issues with BR6. Can't see them in change log above, so here goes.

1. Email app does not change setting to allow or hide images in emails.

2. Web browser needs lots of refresh to finally load non-mobile web pages. Progress load bar freezes, although this might be my radio.

3. No way to customise app launch icons from lock screen. Camera is the only choice.

4. Would be nice if calendar showed upcoming reminders on lock screen too. I've seen this nifty feature in other ROMS.

Keep up the awesome work. Much kudos to you! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bad.Fish:
Yes I agree one project at a time of course. As for not seeing much as far as jellybean for this phone, check out the jellytime rom for inspire. Its actually pretty good. Like I said just a few annoying glitches like the AR releases of this rom. Camera works and wifi and all that. Jellybean runs alot quicker. I just want to see it perfected by the dev who perfected this rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
#2 its possible its your radio, works fine for me.

#3 is not an issue,... this is a basic AOSP rom, being able to change lockscreen icons is something from CM/AOKP.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
Ahh I see...then I will refrain from asking for those features then! *slaps self on back of hand*
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I want to point out that BR7 is just the initial release for 720p, I still got some stuff to fix up in BR8, so it will get better
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
OTA updater isn't showing me that new update is available
[HTC Inspire 4G] iPwn_:
I'll try replacing the one in aospX with his later today but I replaced the one in his ROM with your xml and recording fails entirely. The resolution option disappears and I just get a blurry preview image.

I also tried changing "15" for frameRate for all of the resolutions to "23" and "30" earlier (on his xml) and I got the same result; recording fails, resolution option disappears, and preview is blurry.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I flashed back to BR6 and it shows up fine for me... Try rebooting then going to Settings-OTA Updater
[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
How did the install go?

Works fine for me too. Posting from BR7 now. Took less than 10 minutes. Absolutely brilliant and seamless.

I just had some garbled screen icons on my BR7....powered off as I'm going to bed now. The android system dialogue were crystal clear though.

One other question, why would I be required to install the 'stock battery' and the 'search to recent apps' zips posted under the BR7 release a few posts back?? What are these for?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marl30:
BR7 seem to have fixed some of the issues that kept we from keeping this rom after trying every version for the last couple of releases. However, I notice that flash doesn't completely work. I know the support for flash ended for Android, but I have been able to use the last version I had backed up with ICS with a problem. I notice flash works in the default browser, but the option to enable it doesn't show up in Opera, which is my favorite browser. It works in the other browsers I tested as well. It doesn't work with Veetle app that I use to watch online tv either. I'm just wondering if any body else is having problems with flash only partially working in the rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Read issue tracker for garbled text/icons....And stock battery, search to recent apps are just add ons . Ur not required to flash them unless u want them...they are self explanatory ...stock battery icons are stock battery icons (no percentage)., search to recent apps mod remaps search key as recent apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] onesolo:
sorry to bother you, but are you going to take still some time to release BR8 or this is going to be a quicker release??

I ask this cause I was almost about to flash the new BR7 but as you wrote that this is only a initial release for 720p and it's going to be fixed on BR8, I guess I can wait for a better finish of 720p...
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
It works fine so don't wait. He's just going to refine/tweak it some.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
Hello all, it's been awhile since I've been on, but came back to do some research on ICS. I downloaded this yesterday, and flashed it today, it went off without a hitch, fairly quickly, which was awesome. For a few hours I was really excited, and enjoyed the look and feel. However, upon arriving home I tested the Bluetooth and phone. The Bluetooth didn't seem to work, and once I tried the phone, I kept getting 2 errors. One stating the Android.phone process had quit, the other something about added sim card and needing to reboot the device. I have tried searching to see if this is a common issue and no luck thus far. Was hoping someone could help a girl out. Tia if you can. I had to revert back to my previous stock Rom for now. Would love to give it another go if there is something I'm missing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pbpatel1981:
where can i get themes for this rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] harpo1:
Did you do a full wipe? If you did you might want to flash again and get a logcat when it happens. If you didn't try with a full wipe.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
Yes, did a full wipe, the data and cache, and flashed a second time, I can give it another shot to make sure I suppose. What is a logcat exactly?

[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
Oh gee, thanks. Misses that part, was too excited to try new Rom, etc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wrenhal:
Could be the Sim. Try shutting down phone, ejecting Sim, and putting it back in and rebooting.

Also, don't restore any phone or Bluetooth related data or apps from the previous ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
I'm getting freezing and general inactivity on web page loads in both stock browser and dolphin? It is the same over wifi and mobile data. Multiple refreshes sometimes fixes the problem, bit not always. Smaller less demanding apps work fine, like this XDA app I'm using to write this. Any suggestions? I don't recall this problem in other ROMs, particularly Gingerbread ones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
No problems at all.. :good:
[HTC Inspire 4G] PDub11:
Alpha release coming soon then? Its got to be close now.

Will flash BR7 tonight.
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
Alpha Release? :cyclops:
[HTC Inspire 4G] gbeardmore:
Same here ,Dolphin pages pause/stop during loading.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
I just updated my radio to the latest on the DHD Radio thread, and so far it seems have increased my wifi / mobile data signal, but I'm still getting the same half page loads in dolphin and the stock browser. I'll keep testing and let it settle in. Glad I'm not the only one though! :)

UPDATE: Tried a few radio's now, am now running 1st December 2011: 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M - HTC 3.12.405.1 WWE...there is still no improvement. Am going to try the recommended one from the Radio thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] paulb_nl:
During testing with your 720p test kernel I got these results:

720x480 30fps,

960x720 14fps,

1280x720 10fps

on Jellybean I get 1280x270 28fps.

Even though framerate is set to 15 it can record at 30.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
Another thing I have noticed with my particular setup is that my mobile provider, Virgin Media UK, has two network operator options to choose from (you know where you get to choose T-Mobile, Orange, Vodaphone etc.)

I have two Virgin options, as detailed in the 2nd post at this link:

http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Mobile/HTC-Desire-connection-and-text-probs/td-p/841043

To reiterate, I have 'virgin' (which is essentially Orange / Everything Everywhere provider) and 'Virgin' (which is the proper high speed mobile data service from Virgin Media).

Here is a screenshot that I've embellished with notes:

When I choose 'virgin', this appears in my quick access menu pull-down from the top of the droid, it says 'virgin' at the bottom of the screen.

When I choose 'Virgin' my data rates increase (at least Speed Test tells me so), but the pull down menu shows 'No Service' - yet I can see that I'm connected with full bars. This is odd! :confused:

Any ideas why this would be? Is this potentially a bug in the ROM? It is a little annoying because it's good to know exactly which service I am connecting to (additional mobile data charges may apply etc.).

It's been like this with every radio I've tried so far, even the stock one before I started messing about.

I even tried installing a widget from the Market and this correctly reports the high-speed HSDPA provider (Virgin) when the pull-down menu shows 'NO SERVICE':

Hope this information helps development. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gbeardmore:
I switched from Ascension to existz's ROM, aospX 1.0.0-BR7, last night and still having pages pause/freeze during loading. BTW, I'm on the new AT&T Radio, 26.17.14.11_M. I seem to get the best results with this Radio, having come from 26.14.04.28_M
[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
But even though you are on this radio, you are still getting the half-page loads in BR7...so that would suggest it's not the radio. I'm going to try "28th April 2011: Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - HTC Ace Gingerbread S 2.36.405.5" now, so that will then be 3 different radio's. I'm not expecting a change in performance now to be honest. I think between us we have probably eliminated radio's as being the potential cause.

BTW, do all of your carriers show up....see my post #5063. Thanks.

The only carrier that shows up under "Available Networks" is AT&T. But I guess that doesn't surprise me, what else should there be?

Hi,

Existz I want to ask you a question if HTC don't release kernels for dhd will it mean we will have error free rom after very long time
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikhailM1:
Existz,

OTAed BR7 pressed Install to go into CWM Recovery and my DHD has stuck at an exclamation sign inside a triange and a little Android figure. Will not proceed from there. What do I do to get my phone working again?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kennypow3rs:
HTC has stopped the source for this phone a long time ago. We use the GB kernel that's hacked to play nice with newer roms like ics and JB. We have the 3.0 kernel right now but its in the process of being worked on for AOSP to work with our device. Sense already has it working ported from other devices. After HTC ditched support for the dhd/inspire its on the devs to keep it going. HTC will NOT doing anything more to support this phone which means most likely it will NEVER be completely error free....
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
In br7 I can't install poweramp whenever I try to install it says that insufficient storage
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Works fine for me...you know the drill, full wipe with nothing else installed or any data restored..etc. and see if it still happens.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
We will never be error free..., we are running AOSP on a device that it was never meant to be ran on, and having to use some proprietary stuff from Sense, so it will never be error free. Which we have made it this far without any thing from HTC, so with them not releasing "official" sources that doesnt mean much.. Even if they did release sources, we would still have had to modify a lot of stuff to work on AOSP...it wasnt just going to work out of the box. But we already have a working 3.0 kernel, so theres really not much that we need from HTC anyways.. we would still have to fix the things we have to fix with current 3.0 kernel.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Did you do a full wipe?

Could definitely be something with them. Search was unavailable for a while.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Its not a rom issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
But it seems that everyone is getting off track again when it comes to submitting bug reports, so its about that time again for my monthly rant.. Remember guys, I do not check this thread for bug reports, all bug reports should be directed to the Issue Tracker along with proper debug logs. Also I HAVE to know if the issue happens with the way the rom comes 110% stock..meaning I have to know if it happens after a full wipe (even if you already done one) and without ANY data/backups restored.. Most of the time the issue is caused by something in the data you restored, so you MUST verify if the issue still happens without restoring any. Below is the steps you MUST take when submitting a bug report, or i will simply ignore it...

Steps to submitting a proper bug report:

* Perform a full wipe and install from recovery

* Do NOT install any thing else (Inspire users flash Inspiremod)

* Do NOT restore any data and/or backups!

* See if issue happens with the way the rom comes 100% stock

If the issue continues after a full wipe with NOTHING else installed, then please submit the issue to the Issue Tracker along with the proper debug logs (ie logcat). I have to know if the issue happens the way the rom comes 100% stock, that way we know its the roms fault and not something else. Also theres not much I can do without debug logs, my initial guess is usually as good as yours. So always provide debug logs along with as much detail as possible. If you do not perform all of these steps then I will ignore the bug report.

Also, I cannot support anything that I didnt create or compile myself. So I will not provide support if you have flashed another kernel, any scripts, add-ons, themes, ..etc..etc
[HTC Inspire 4G] Raza Qadri:
Yes did a full wipe followed the procedure seems it was problem with xda app fixed after several hours
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9m2bal:

[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Yes. It's in the changelog.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
Hi existz.

I haven't restored anything, and I always do a full wipe, sometimes twice! I can't explain why my carrier isn't showing as explained on page 507.

When I next get a chance I will nand backup, fresh install BR7 with mega wipeage, and see if the problem still exists.

If it does I'll submit a bug report via your required method. Can I do that on Launchpad?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
No, Issue Tracker is only on GoogleCode. But the issue is with the APN for your carrier...you will need to Google and find the best one for your network...obviously im unable to test or reproduce this since im on AT&T. You can modify APN under Settings->More->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Just an FYI about Words With Friends, not sure if anyone will care. The new update seems to be broken and it doesn't display the letter that you have to play. Even after a full wipe and no data restoration, it happens. If anyone wants, here's the old apk. Existz, would a logcat be helpful in this case? Or is it out of your hands because it's not your app?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
It depends, if its an actual app issue then theres nothing I can do.. But if its something in the rom causing it, then yea id need a logcat. Need to verify if issue happens on earlier builds and/or if it happens on other devices/roms.
