Havent ran any roms yet i just rooted the phone last night using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352. Im still trying to figure out titanium back up and the rom manager. I purchesed the full version of each off the market kinda stuck now

Ok. I have done cm7.0, virtuous 1.31 (really liked), virtuous 2.39, coredroid (one of the best sense 3.0 rom) , synergy, and finally cm7.1 which is my new favorite.

I found most important wipe everything before install and be careful of titanium if you are loading system data on a different rom.

And, just get use to rom manager clockworkmod and your wife thinking that you are an idiot and if you don't understand the phone send it back.
LOL. Have fun and good luck.

What do you mean be careful of titanium and wipe everything? Im headed to a wifi hotspot to download some roms now

 

[Technowizard66]

Interesting note to add it seems rom manager recognizes my phone as an htc desire hd...funny i could swear its an inspire 4g...does anyone think this will cause any issues

 

[Technowizard66]

Ok well i just wasted 45mins at mcdonalds downloading cyanogen 7.0.2 rom manager reeboted the phone i selected reboot and nothing changed at all.

Not to be mean because you should feel free to ask questions but just make sure google can't answer them faster and better than me. There are tons of walk throughs and info waiting for your search. If you can't find it like that pm me.

I was at a meeting and I did not mean to be cryptic. I love titanium but if you try a recovery into a different rom you may have problems. I use titanium all the time to save and manipulate data. Now, before trying a new rom, I will do a backup in rom manager. It keeps all the settings, apps, and data.
I started doing data and cache wipes after locking up my phone with cm7.03. I found that I had less problems. It is the dalviche (sic) cache, the data and system.caches in clockwork recovery. Then I would load my zip of the rom. Of course. You have to have downloaded the rom of choice.
I am definitely a newbie. I just made a lot of mistakes and have loaded Roms about 10 times or more. I just want people not to have to thru all that. I think there are many good roms to choose.
Look at the xda forums and other good sites.

 

[timmckenna68]

Sorry. I forgot to say that many of the roms were based off of the HTC desire HD which is very similar to the inspire.

 

[timmckenna68]

Last thing and I'll shut up. Once you have things loaded and are pretty happy, you might think of fixing permissions in rom manager.

 

[Technowizard66]

Please whatever you do dont shut up lol. Ok just restored my system back to normal. The cyanogen rom worked it was so beautiful but i had to set everything back the android market was gone and so was titanium back up to i couldnt get to any apps. I did download the amazon appstore apk but titanium wasnt on there? Did i do something wrong. Cyanogen was so beautiful i want to go back but im a little confused

 

[timmckenna68]

Sounds like what happened to me. Have you loaded the google zip? You can get it in rom manager. Once you start sync with Google, just let it restore most of your apps. But, some you'll need to reinstall from the market which includes titanium. You can see your Market apps from market menu.

 

[Technowizard66]

Interesting a google zip..no i didnt and tou say its in the rom manager. What does the google zip do.

 

[timmckenna68]

There are a lot of menus in cm but the most important is your Google account to get your apps and such then in cm settings / phone you will need to enter your cm # and your phone number. I suggest getting something like root explorer to look at things in your phone. If you want to use an app killer just don't use it to close things like adwlauncher.
If you have problems, you can always re-do the install. I installed cm then used titanium to do a full restore and crashed. Titanium is more for restoring within the same rom. So, I just did it again. Like I said, I made a lot ofmistakes but I have not had a crash for 3 days.
Good luck!

 

[timmckenna68]

Google is in the down load apps list and allows you to sync with your Google account based on your E-mail. It allows cm to sync your market apps.

 

[Technowizard66]

Ok thanks...i actually printed out the rom manager guide i found and ive been taking alot of notes. So one more question for you and im off to redo the rom....where is the download apps list..and where did you find the sync. Ok that was two lol forgive me.

I run MIUI pretty much full time. But I've been through CM7, Rummy, Virtuous, and RCMiX.

As far as the Inspire/Desire HD thing goes, the Desire HD is the Inspire in Europe, just with different audio hardware (which is why we need the 'tinny' audio fix) and different bands in the comm chip. Can't help much with getting CM to run properly since that was the first ROM I flashed (back in May, can you believe it?) and haven't done much in it since then.

Good luck with it all though!

 

[Technowizard66]

Success finally after a headache and all day I'm finished. Cm7 I think it was 7.0.2 it had this cool little thing called Google addons holy awesome batman

 

[timmckenna68]

Congrats! Have some fun with it. I have decided yo use a rom more than 2 days before switching although I have MIUI in mind. Oh, I have been saving the backups in a folder on my laptop so I can go back.
Try the performance tweaks. Pretty cool on cm
