Mine was set to ignore those too ;)

Just keep it in the back of your head for future reference that if anything goes wrong, it's probably task killer lol. Even Google recommends not using one, sadly.

To the 2 brave souls that have offered to help skin the modpack, check your mail! :) You have a present!

Stock radio to fix gps problems? Anyone else had success with this over the ota radio?
[HTC Inspire 4G] intelligencexan:
i cant my gps to work through any of the radios.... any suggestions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Double-flash the OTA radio. Meaning flash it once, restart the phone, then flash it again. That should fix any issues you're having. I am getting a 10-second gps lock from cold start without any gps accelerators...

I'd say this reason also might be why your flash of the stock radio overtop of the ota radio (meaning it was the second flash) may have been the fix for you. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sdobron:
Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a shot later today.

Flashing Angel's GPS fix worked for me.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Just got permission from AngelDeath to include the GPS fix in the next build! :)

I'll create and ship it out tomorrow. To-Do list:

1. Create PD98IMG.zip of stock splash screen

2. Update ROM

On another note...

I just got a beta test of Superuser 3 installed... ;)

Edit: My life just got easier, the stock screen has already been made into a PD98IMG.zip in this thread, and direct download link here. I did NOT create those. The PD98IMG.zip file is within the file that you download, so unzip it and then extract that file to be placed on your sd card for flashing. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] intelligencexan:
so we should expect an update tommorrow?

still on 2.2.1 or are we looking forward to ggbread?edit: dont get me wrong... i love 2.2.1... my only concern is battery life and cleardroid is the best... i dont even get half the battery life on AR 5.1.10
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
Superuser...

I really can't figure out what it does. I realize it works in conjunction with other programs. For example it is allowing AdFree to do its thing. But what is Superuser exactly. Is it like a virus protector/spyware deflector?

Also, when I send MMS pics, they are being resized even though it's set to 600, and the pics are no where near that big. When I preview the slide, it looks really blurry and pixelated even before I send it. How can you send the exact pic without it being diminished in resolution?
[HTC Inspire 4G] intelligencexan:
superuser gives ur apps the root access that they need to work... absolutely must have app if u are using apps such as titanium backup

the mms pics get resized to turn it into a more compatible form for the network to process the data in... otherwise the mms is going have problems when being sent/recieved. this is the default setting of the message app... as far as my knowledge goes, there isnt a way to change it...
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I am noticing that the preview is reduced in quality, but the picture that is sent is the same as the quality the pic is saved in on the phone. I am sending pics to my gf's phone to test it. The pics are arriving crystal clear, in the exact same size as they were saved, but they look crappy when I preview them before I send them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Your phone has varying levels of user access. I can best explain it like this... For Windows 7, you have guest accounts, regular user accounts, and an administrator account. Think of "root" as your phone giving admin privileges. But without the superuser program to control what GETS those privileges, malicious programs could run at admin level on your phone and cause havoc. Superuser is sort of like an admin-access gate. Make sense? :)

The update tomorrow will incorporate the new gps fix is all, as well as the latest (stable) superuser and binary. The beta for superuser 3 seems solid though, and I would include it if I could. But, it's a beta, and I'd rather keep us rock-stable. ;)

Vol, I'm guessing it lowers quality to send, and for some reason it does it before the picture actually gets sent. Not sure why... flaw in android I guess. Not really sure how to fix that lol. It would be within the SMS app I would guess. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I don't know. When I send a pic to my girlfriend's tilt2, it goes through perfectly in full resolution, even though when I preview the pic before I send it, it looks like crap. However, when she sends it back, it's just a blurry as the preview, and her phone is set to 1000k.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Just tested it myself, sending an mms to myself lol. It resized it to 550 kb (the max on at&t's network for almost all phones is 600kb), then it sent. When I checked the preview, it was downsized to 32 kb, at reduced quality. However, when I received the picture, it was in fact 550 kb again. :)

I don't think it's anything to worry about lol. The reason for the limit of 600 kb is that most phones on the network cannot receive mms any larger than that. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
Actually it resizes pics that are much smaller than 600.

I sent a pic to myself that was 140, and it came through at 75 on my phone, but it came through at 140 on my girlfriend's tilt 2. My Inspire is apparently shrinking pics when it downloads them. I tried using handcent with the same results.

Update: Apparently this is a problem with Android in general. If you are using a custom rom, you can fiddle with the mms settings to correct it. Android natively shrinks incoming mms attachments no matter what messaging app you use, but android allows you to send mms attachments to other people in their full resolution. Simply put, you can send them big, you just can't receive them big. lol

You can just delete this thread, since this is a general android issue and not rom related. Best I can find it has something to do with the reg settings. People were tricking the system into thinking it was a blackberry and having better results.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sdobron:
Hey ClearD,

I flashed the OTA radio for the second time, but I'm a bit unsure about how to verify a successful flash in Hboot. I rebooted into bootloader using the power options menu, selected bootloader, then after 15 seconds or so the phone gave me a message to flash the update, I selected yes and then I believe it flashed and automatically rebooted. My main question is: I know that Hboot will not flash anything if it detects corruption of some sort on your sd card. Is this check before showing the flash update prompt or after? If I had received the prompt and selected yes then it should have flashed?

Sorry for the confusion, if you don't understand my question just let me know.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information, then check your Baseband Version. If updated, it should read:

12.39a.60.19U_26.06.06.30_M

I believe the check is before, but I'm not sure honestly. Always double check your MD5 checksum of your download with the MD5 checksum given beside the download link before you flash, and that verifies (by manual check of you) that the download is valid and not corrupted. :)

Also, you said it automatically restarted? You didn't have to push volume up or power or anything to restart? I swore that normally, a button needed to be pressed... if not, you might double check your MD5 of the download, and if needed, download again. Maybe the check failed and it aborted mid-install, thus not needing you to press anything to reboot?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sdobron:
Actually wait, you're right. I did have to press a button to reboot. I'm not a full-time Inspire user..haha. Doing some modding on my girlfriend's phone. I had flashed the OTA radio once before in Hboot (and verified baseband version in android settings), but you had stated reflashing the radio may help correct some issues.

edit: and yes I always check MD5 sums on anything I flash.
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I flashed Leedroid to see if I still got the MMS resize issue.

I definitely do. It's not the rom. It seems to be something else causing incoming mms attachments to be resized.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Sdo: You should be golden. If it still doesn't work, I'm going to be dropping AngelDeath's GPS fix into tonight's ROM build, so we can try that tomorrow. :)

Vol: I was also reading last night that the network themselves will re-size the MMS before it gets sent through their network to the end user... maybe that has something to do with it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
It definitely has something to do with the phone though. I can send and receive in full size on my girlfriend's Tilt 2. I even switched the sim cards to check, and it confirmed my suspicion that it's the phone, not the network. I guess it's an android issue. I seriously think Windows Mobile kicks android's ass in a lot of ways, except the benefit of being able to install apps. Android is way too proprietary. It's like half apple at its core. It sucks. It takes an act of congress to do something simple like send or receive an uncorrupted mms attachment, even when the attachment is far smaller than the max size limit.

Ok. Now that I've ranted, I'm going back to Cleardroid. Leedroid was super laggy. Besides a full wipe, is there anything else you would recommend before flashing back to the smoothest rom around?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Just that if something goes wrong, go back to an earlier version like 1.0.5, then flash the latest on top of it! :)

Shouldn't have to, but just in case lol. I'm pretty sure Lee's Rom is DHD based, and some users have had issues when coming back from a DHD Rom. That method usually fixes any issues they have had. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
Ok. Downloading 1.5 right now.

Just in case. Thanks.

Update: Feels good to be back. I have now tried stock, core, and lee, but none of them are even close to me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
We're going to be creating (hopefully) themed modpacks in the short future, so stay tuned! :)

Gps question

Why is it that Cyanogen or senseless Roms usually have lackluster GPS support?

I use your rom/recommended radio and the gps works.

I use your recommended radio/matched ril on any senseless or cyanogen rom and gps is abhorrent! Any ideas on why that is?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I have absolutely no idea bud... And our GPS is about to get a whole lot better too... ;)

I'm all about GPS support. It is something I use regularly (CoPilot), and something I've ALWAYS had on every smartphone I've ever owned. I started with Garmin XT on my WinMo phones and migrated to CoPilot when I switched to Android.

I guess that's just something I try to get out of my Roms... absolutely 100% working everything and no bugs at all. I know that even tiny little things drive me absolutely insane (maybe I'm OCD), so I want my Rom to be flawless as much as it possibly can. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] btafoya:
I was using LeeDroid up until this evening when I switched to ClearDroid and am quite impressed! I do a great deal of travel and was experiencing all kinds of strange GPS issues previously. Hopefully your ROM will do the trick!

I am curious of one thing though... the ROM is listed as a Desire ROM in the Marketplace. Is there a way to change it to show itself as an Inspire?

Thanks for what I can see is a great ROM!
[HTC Inspire 4G] btafoya:
Maybe this will help; I have been using an app from the Marketplace, 'GPS Status', that too pulls the a-gps data as well as 'FasterFix' to set the gps locale. I have also experience the stuttering and resolved the issue by simply powering down the gps a couple of times.
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I liked Garmin too.

I'm all about GPS support. It is something I use regularly (CoPilot), and something I've ALWAYS had on every smartphone I've ever owned. I started with 'Garmin XT on my WinMo phones and migrated to CoPilot when I switched to Android.

I used Garmin on my original Tilt and on my Tilt 2. God I wish I had held out a couple of more months for a hardware keyboard. Water under the bridge. Anyway, Garmin worked great on WinMo. I wish they made it for Android. I've seen a few youtube videos in which people have it ported to Adroid. How does CoPilot compare? CoPilot USA is only $4.99 on the market. It's hard to believe something that cheap could be any good. Of course a lot of people got Garmin Mobile XT for free by hook or crook. haha
[HTC Inspire 4G] btafoya:
I personally like Navigon, been using it since my WinMo days and on the iPhone too. I have no tried CoPilot... will check it out!
[HTC Inspire 4G] intelligencexan:
ClearD! waiting for the update...:-)

sent using Inspire 4g
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I'm still on 1.2

I don't think there have been substantial changes. If anything, Clear just took stuff out of the Rom to make it more stock-like. 1.2 runs like a champ. I just added swype 3.0. Wow. I miss my tilt2's keyboard a little less. Once you learn the intricacies swyping, you can haul ass.

http://www.swypeinc.com/
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Yeah I think I'll upload 1.1.3 for you guys to beta test if you wish, but it didn't work well for me... then again, I didn't test it for the minimal 2-day period for good gps locks either... I still have the build, so I'll load it to the server tonight and link it up. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Copilot is awesome, and at $4.99, it is a freaking steal. No joke, it does everything Garmin did, and then some. I'd still love to have my Garmin back as a backup though...

Amyways, if anyone wants to try it, ClearDroid 1.1.3 Beta 1 is here.

MAKE SURE TO NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE TEST.

Changed to AngelDeath's gps.conf file. Restart the phone a few times after flashing, and make sure to clear cache and dalvik cache before flash. If it doesn't work, clear cache and dalvik again and flash back to 1.1.21 via nandroid backup.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sdobron:
No need to wipe data and system partitions before flashing?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Shouldn't have to
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Yes indeed, the framework hasn't changed yet. :) Should still work wonderfully, aside from the 2 noted issues, which don't affect performance in any way. Only cosmetic.
[HTC Inspire 4G] intelligencexan:

Android Revolution to Cleardroid

heya, sorry for this question but on android revolution now which is formatted ext4, does flashing your rom reformat all the partitions back to ext3 or do I need to hunt down a script to do that prior to flashing cleardoid?

EDIT: Ok it really was as easy as formatting all the partitions in clockwork.

This ROM is smooth so far, haven't gotten to play with the GPS yet but it's why I moved over to this ROM so looking forward to it. The only issue I was hoping there was a fix for was the low volume in media and calls, other cutom ROMS seem to have boosted volume, is this a possibility in this ROM? thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Your problem lies in the fact that you came from a desire hd Rom I believe. Try flashing the PD98IMG.zip in bubbys simple root faq, along with the stock radio here, then flash ClearDroid 1.0.5, then 1.1.21 with the updated radio. Long process, but most of us have no sound issues lol. I know my volume hurts my ears sometimes, and my car has a 1200 watt competition subwoofer. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
And if adfree isn't there for some reason, it can also be found free in the market lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
Thanks Clear. I thought for a minute there I lost root.

I put a second Skinomi Tech Skin of my phone last night, and this time it looks really good. Last time it was bad bad bad, horrible orange peel effect and micro bubbles a full week after installation. I truly believe that using Skinomi or Invisible Shield protectors (basically the exact same product) is hit or miss. Every other one turns out like crap, and there's really only one way to install them. It's not like I did anything different the second time. They sent me a replacement completely free though, so it's all good.

Clear, don't forget to give us a review about your powerskin battery extender after you've tested it out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] meddle70:
Clear I am squeezing out 1 day 10 hours with 40% left woot lol.

Just a request, could you put apps2sd in your Rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Just got it yesterday, and I've noticed one flaw so far, but it isn't the fault of the skin, more of the way I have setcpu set up lol. Easily corrected, but I'll lose something I like. I'll give a better report tomorrow after some more time with it lol.

I love invisible shields :) always get em, haven't had a bad one yet on my end!

Meddle, I can probably crank out an apps2sd version tonight if you desire one. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
What is the advantage of having an app burnt into the rom rather than installing it yourself?

Does anyone have two-way recording working on this rom? I have heard it only works with certain kernals.
[HTC Inspire 4G] meddle70:
Clear that would be awesome!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Basically there isn't any real advantage, except for when you flash a lot of ROMs like I do, it gets annoying having to re-install apps over and over again that you use frequently, hence why I included some. :)

And if anyone wants to test it:

ClearDroid 1.1.21 Apps2SD Beta

Also, those of you using 1.1.3, how is it coming along? Is the GPS up to par? Is it ready for the big time?
[HTC Inspire 4G] meddle70:
Clear do I just flash this or do I need to wipe anything?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
If it isn't already done, you need to partition your SD card with either an EXT3 or EXT4 partition. That can be done in ROM Manager. Make sure to back up your SD card on your computer before you do it, as it formats and deletes everything on your SD card lol. Other than that, just flash it like normal. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikeF0209:
Clear, do I absolutely need to reformat my sd card to install this or with just a wipe I should be able to flash?

Sorry if this was already asked, I tried doing a search and nothing really came up related to it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikeF0209:
Ive been on the HTC "quietly brilliant screen for abouut 10 min now... is this normal?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
If you're using the A2SD version, you need to reformat and repartition an EXT partition on your SD card, yes. That's what the apps are stored on. If you didn't do that before installing, it might be the reason for your hang. If you're using the regular build, no, it isn't necessary to format your SD card.

Initial startup shouldn't take THAT long, is it bootlooping? Like is the boot animation starting over and over?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikeF0209:
no it is boot looping, is the regular version on the first page of the thread as well?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Regular version is on the first page, no EXT3 partition needed, but I'd highly suggest using the radio also. Also, if you're coming from a different ROM, a full wipe of your device and dalvik cache is required, or else it will probably bootloop. :p

I edited the first post of the ROM to include the Apps2SD version and also the latest beta test version. Those with the beta, I still need feedback lol. How's the GPS doing?
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I am still using 1.2, and I haven't reflashed Angels's GPS fix.

Now that I have flashed the recommended radio three or four times, I seem to get a pretty fast lock. It just takes forever and a day to lock the very first time, but after that, it's fine. I probably won't reflash Angel's fix if I continue to have fast locks. My advice is don't be overly concerned if it takes half an our to lock the first time you try to use GPS after flashing the rom. That has been my experience every time. After that marathon wait for the initial lock, you should be ok.
[HTC Inspire 4G] meddle70:
Any news on better gps performance with 1.1.3 ? I'm going on another long trip tomorrow and last night I couldn't get it to lock and I almost got lost :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Haven't gotten any word yet, I'm still using 1.1.21 in the meantime. Save the OTA radio on your SD card just in case you need to flash it on your trip lol. I always take extra precautions, just in case.

Did you try out the A2SD version? It has a few downloads but still no feedback lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] meddle70:

Awesome, larapr! That must mean we aren't far behind!!

Meddle, you will probably lose the info on the device (texts and such), as I'd recommend a full wipe first, but the way not to lose any off of the SD card is simply to copy it all to your SD card, then format and re partition it, then copy all your things back when you're done. :)

"If one has a question, they should ask in public, as there are guaranteed others who have the same question." ;) A little lesson I learned from high school.

I do have gtalk, it's cleard989 if you want to add, however the gps fix is to simply flash the OTA radio over and over again, maybe 2-4 times, and it will "stick" and everything will work. I'm not at all sure why, but it seems to be consistent that this fix works...
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I powered completely off for a few hours today and lost GPS lock.

I let it search for an hour with no luck. I reflashed Angel's North America fix, and it locked in about thirty seconds inside the house. Now it's locking in less than five. I found both coredroid and leedroid to be jerky and laggy, but the developers are doing something to help with GPS because I never had any trouble locking with either of those roms. I don't use GPS enough for it to be the determining factor in whether I keep or scrap a rom, but this stockish rom may not be the thing for someone who puts the highest priority on GPS performance. However, if you're OCD like me, and you can't stand jerky scrolling or lagginess, cleardroid is the way to go.

Here is the link to download AngelDeath's North America GPS fix:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=517982&d=1297741336

Angel's fix is built into Clear's latest release, but if you are running an earlier version of cleardroid like me, you have to flash the zip from recovery yourself.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Which version of Angel's fix is that, vol? 1.1 or 1.2? I assume 1.1?

Edit: It appears that is version 1.1, I'm using the northeast 1.2 in ROM beta 1.1.3.

Can some of you please test the beta in the first post and report back whether the GPS is better or worse? I'll never know if you guys don't tell me. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
Good question. I was confused about that at first myself. If you look at his thread, you will see that Angel answered the exact same question from me. The North America fix is still 1.0. The 1.1 and 1.2 zips are region specific. They are not ideal if you are traveling from one region of the country to another. The Southeast fix for example wouldn't work if you were traveling to the Midwest. You'd have to flash the Midwest fix along the way. That's why I prefer the North America fix. It may not lock as fast as the 1.1 or 1.2 region specific fixes, but it's a lot more useful when traveling.
