Am a newbie so please pardon my silly question but I REALLY NEED HELP

I followed the EFFEN MANUAL and successfully rooted the phone using "HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit V11" , Did a FULL Wipe and then installed TPC Rom and finally flashed stock radio and everything is perfect except GPS. I am not getting any signal even in open area even after waiting for more than 30 mns. I tried copilot live, google maps and even GPS Status but none of the programs is showing any GPS Signal/Satellite lock.


I was using HTC HD2 earlier and used to get signal in less than a minute, Inspire is my first Android phone and therefore am clueless how to solve this issue. PLEASE HELP... Thanks in Advance.

Check on the FAQ on page 1 :). You probably just need to reflash your radio.

@wolf_2 can you add the advanced power menu to this like when you try to restart kind of like leedroid and other Roms I like your rom but if you added that it would be cool thanks

Yes. It has already been planned to be added to the theme which is getting closer to completion. Hopefully testing can begin next week or so to make sure everything is working properly. Sorry it has taken so long to work on this but I had to learn a lot of new things as I am new to Android, and there are literally thousands, (no joke, I think I stopped counting after 3), and thousands of images to go through that make up a rom. I can't say it has been fun but it will be done. Looking forward to a May release.

you can use any radio you want, but i dont guarantee results. the radio i have posted in the OP is the radio that came with the version of the stock rom i used as the base for my rom and is the only one i have tested...let us know the results :)

Not much going on with this rom huh? Any new updates? Maybe a stock optimized 2.3 final build that was released for the Desire?

The system update officially enables huspa. You would have to flash back to stock to get it.

If you are looking for the update to enable HSUPA then it was already enabled from the beginning in this rom. No need to use the att update for that. If you went back to stock to get the update you would have to root your phone again in order to use other roms.

I've done the new update and now I'm back on tpc Rom and I'm getting a system update notice from ATT asking if I would like to download any one else getting this?

I did ATTN1's update and have not had any problems. I am still on TPC v1 and did a nandroid back up before the update. I restored the "DATA ONLY" using the
nandroid back up after the update. At first I seemed to have a very high battery usage, but I then went in and shut off all running, unused apps. There was one app called "HTCcheckin" that appeared to be a major factor in battery usage. When I turned it off my battary usage went way down and seems to be better than it was before the update.

Good luck - Mutha

How can I get the original Boot Animation and sound back? I want my ROM to look the more stock-like as possible.

unless I am missing something here, is everyone on this rom getting the update notification? if so what are you guys doing about it?

I would like to make the update icon go away, but only way to do that is do the upate. will it jack everything up if i accept the update?

I've never received the notification, but my wife (who runs her Inspire stock) did. Don't apply the OTA update on a rooted Inspire. It has nothing that this ROM doesn't already have and can cause your Inspire to lose root, from what I've heard and read. You should be able to disable AT&T/HTC update notifications by doing this:

From Home Screen, click -> Menu, click -> Settings, click -> AT&T Software Update, click -> HTC Wi-Fi Software Update, and uncheck -> Scheduled Check.

The OTA really just adds HSUPA to a stock phone, which this ROM already enables once it's flashed.

I tried the above, but the update notification icon is still showing up! even after a reboot. Any other suggestions? I dont want to install the update, just get rid of the notification.

I know I cleared the update notification and if I remember correctly it may have just been done through the top taskbar.

I did the same. I pressed on it to open it up then just cancelled. It gave me some reminder about doing the update at a later date when I cancelled and I haven't seen it since - that was a couple weeks ago.

    -includes busybox and superuser

    -unsecured boot.img with full root access and ADB remount

    -zipalign all apks

    -increased dalvik cache heap size

    -fully deodexed

    -moved some apk to data/app for market updates

    -added up-to-date hosts file and AdFree app...no ads from first boot

    you need to have the stock AT&T Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M with this rom, you can learn how to flash it here. if you have issues please read the FAQ before you post a question in the thread.

    you must have S-OFF for flashing custom roms before you flash this, add the .zip file to your sdcard and flash from CWM recovery after a full wipe.

    Frequently asked questions

    Q. Does this ROM support tethering?
    A. Yes. There’s two ways to do so.
    1. Create a new APN. (Thanks Fixter)
    http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11493471&postcount=193
    2. Download Wireless Tether from the Market. In order to do so you have to put your phone into airplane mode; Menu > Wireless & networks > Airplane mode. After turning on Airplane mode enable WiFi and search “tether” in the market. Enjoy!
    (Data charges are your responsibility :), use wisely).

    Q. Does this ROM Support Overclocking?
    A. Yup :D Just flash an OC Kernel. Apache’s and Lee’s have both been confirmed to work with this ROM.
    Apache’s: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=964636
    Lee’s: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991848

    Please note in order to overclock you need a control app.

    SetCPU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419

    Q. Can I flash this over my current ROM?
    A. Yup, just use CWM. A wipe of system and data are highly recommended!!!!
    Please use this for a complete wipe. Install from zip in CWM and then install Rom.
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868720

    Q. Why does my radio show a U after the 19?
    A. Don't worry, it's normal :) That's because HSUPA is enabled.

    Q. Can I use a % battery mod and custom theme?
    A. See post #2 :) Custom themes are in the works, stayed tuned...

    Q. Do I need to flash a sound fix?
    A. Nope, see the OP. Everything is stock.

    Q. How can I return to stock (unrooted version)
    A. Use the RUU, this will get you back to stock (s-off will remain)
    RUU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957692
    ClearD explains in step 2. (Thanks Football for the original link)

    Q. What are the benchmark scores on this ROM?
    A. I’m sure you’re aware that benchmarks don’t mean anything compared to real world performance but here goes. This is at stock speeds:
    Quadrant Run 1: 1766, Run 2: 1807, Run 3: 1795
    Linpack Run 1: 40.4…, Run 2: 40.1…, Run 3: 40.4…
    YMMV

    Q. Does this ROM support ADB remount (rw)?
    A. Yes it does. One of my favorite features :)

    Q. Does this ROM support bootanimation?
    A, Sure does (Thanks Wolf_2), System/customize/resource. Custom bootanimation is now included

    Q. My GPS is acting weird. What do I do?
    A. While I, twopumpchump and many others have never experienced GPS Isuues, a few of you have. It’s hard to pin down the culprit but here’s a few things you may want to try.
    1. Make sure you’re using the stock radio and kernel while testing GPS.
    2. Did you wipe data when flashing? If not, do so and reflash.
    3. Try clearing market data and re-open Maps. (Try Maps before Navigation). Menu > Applications > Manage Applications. Under “All” find “Maps” and tap “Clear Data”.
    4. Try reflashing the stock radio (See the OP). You can also flash it by repeating step 5 of the hack kit or extracting it from the radio folder of the hack kit and install it in hboot.

    Thanks to twopumpchump (tpc), Wolf_2 and the entire XDA community.

    supercircle battery mod works great with this rom, as long as you use the online kitchen and upload the framework-res.apk from my rom to be modded.

    Anyone know which build.prop settings need to be changed/added/deleted to get "GSM only" to work? Got it working on my Aria on Gene Poole's Liberated ROM but heck if I can figure out how to get it working on my Inspire after hours of trying different values.

    In case anyone is wondering why I'd want to do such a thing, it's because 3G sucks at my house (lucky if I have 1 bar & calls drop as I walk around) but I get full bars EDGE. I'd rather have slower data & consistent calls (or at least the option) but seems ATT is disabling the ability to force EDGE by default. (*#*#4636#*#* testing menu lets me pick GSM only but it stays on HSDPA even if that is selected & even after restart which is exactly what the stock Aria/Inspire ROM's do as do many cooked ones I've tried.) Plus on my Aria I got double the battery life on EDGE vs 3G so figured the same might be true on my Inspire. :D
    Thx!

    I live in Arkansas and am familiar with your frustration. It bothers me enough to where I had to try a crapload of roms and settle with cm7 nightlies. I pirated nearly everything I used on winmo and I actually bought a .cab that switched between 2g and 3g absurdly fast. Usually 5 seconds instead of a minute via comm manager. I haven't seen an android app that can do it that quickly but cm7 has this cool notification bar mod and I have one of those buttons configured to select 2g or 3g, between backlight adjustment and wifi toggle.

    I also have hated sense since it was manila 2d betas. On winmo I used spb mobile shell with no 3d crap or animations with a tiny memory footprint. The closest thing I could find for android was zeam launcher. Now that I have 768 MB of RAM in my phone instead of 288 I still don't want dozens of MB's being consumed by eyecandy. I also like to have the apps that I use every day always in RAM.

    But, if you have to be able to manually switch between 2g and 3g you can't use an att stock rom, rooted or not. I tried every available means to do that in this ROM and although you can do it it will almost immediately switch back to 3g. I think there are some sense roms i.e. leedroid's that have that button and it actually works/stays on 2g until you uncheck the box in wireless settings. I switched to nosense roms for a week until I found a dialer that would let me dial like I have dialed on winmo since 2005 with T9 support.
