[HTC Inspire 4G] roadrun777:
Flashed on an Inspire 4g - AR4G5.1.7 experiences

Wow!!! This rom is so much faster than the stock one. I will definitely be donating toward this one. I know everyone loves the stripped down roms but I love all the eye candy in the sense roms, even if it eats the battery up.

Ok, first thing... The build.prop had to be edited for me to get above 600k-900k downlink speeds. These are the settings that worked in N. Florida area.

ro.ril.enable.a52.HTC-ITA=1 (probably a standards enforcement flag)

ro.ril.enable.a53.HTC-ITA=1 (...)

ro.ril.enable.a52=0 (this disables older type of encryption)

ro.ril.enable.a53=1 (enables encrption gsm?)

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=13 (this is a little higher than the chipset supports)

ro.ril.hsupa.category=7 (supposed to be the highest cat)

ro.ril.hsxpa=2 (this turns on both hsupa/hspa+?)

ro.ril.avoid.pdp.overlap=1 (this stabilized the connection)

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1 (oddly enough, this doubled my speed!)

ro.ril.enable.hep=1 (I don't know what this does, it doesn't seem to make a diff)

ro.ril.enable.sdr=0 (this is to turn on software data radio, should not be needed)

ro.ril.enable.ucsq=2 (unkown)

ro.ril.enable.gea3=1 (this enables GSM encryption)

ro.ril.enable.prl.recognition=0 (if you are in china leave this as 1)

ro.ril.enable.dtm = 1 (seems to work, although hangs up if I toggle wifi if enabled)

ro.ril.gprsclass = 12 (supposed to be the maximum, some people set to 32 but 32 is not documented)

P.S. (can anyone tell me if enabling AMR wide-band would increase or decrease call sound quality)

My experiences so far with this rom has been really good. I have had a few glitches and needed to restart the phone. I truly believe that the glitches are related to audio. If the phone goes to the lock screen and I swipe it to unlock while talking on the phone, the audio pops and clicks and the other person can hear it. If I am running any kind of music streaming app and let the phone idle for awhile then wake it up, it sometimes will get into an audio loop of death.

I have installed all of the sense 3.0 zips except for the lock screen. I could not install the newer stock kernel on the inspire, even with a clean install and just flashing the new kernel, it would just hang and the 'quietly brilliant' screen.

I did notice that the UI slowed down a bit with the sense 3.0 mods. I wish there was a setting to slow the CRT mod down so you can see it better.

My only other bad experience was, again, with the audio while playing MKV files. It seems the internal libs can't decode AC3 ! So I had to install software decoding via FFMPG (yuk! slow slow slow) which basically killed any chance of running a 720p video with ac3 on it, very choppy and unwatchable. Xvid-Divx w/mp3 work fine. Although any vid with AC3 did not decode native.

So my request would be to put some newer audio decoding libs in with more mux/demux support formats (like AC3) and an audio decoding priority boost? To stop the skipping upon wake-up. Would also love to see a EQ/DSP manager of some sort for the audio side and a way to control the noise cancellation schema.

Also, is there a way to change the voltage levels for the speed ranges without a kernel recompile and can anyone explain what the differences of power governor states are? (like smartass lol) I apologize if this has already been covered. I still haven't mastered the search on the site yet.
