My GPS is broken as well coming from the RCMix ROM. I used the one click to root. Is there anything special I need to do or just flash the radio through CWM?

Are you sure. I thought radios couldnt be flashed via cwm???

Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.

Not 100% sure why it worked, but it did. I used the file that was in the Radio folder of the hack kit, put it on the SD card, used CWM and did: install zip from sdcard, then "choose zip from sdcard, chose the radio file and did the "update". Rebooted and checked GPS.. it worked. Locked GPS in about 10 seconds with 8 satellites in use.

I like this. Gps is perfect, sound is great, data speeds are terrific, mobile and wifi. I also flashed the Lee kernel and everything is smooth as can be. 1822mhz overclocking but I keep mine at 1200 unless I'm playing a game then I turn up to 1600. I did crank it up all the way and ran quadrant and hit 2642 which isn't to bad. I liked using coredroid but had Gps issues. It found the satellites but took ten minutes to lock. My only problem is cwm fades to black. I have read a couple threads but no success. I even flashed a older version of cwm and still no go. Anyone got any suggestions.

    This is a re-cook of the stock AT&T Inspire 4g rom, done using dsixda's kitchen. there are no changes from the stock rom, other than the ones listed here.


    -new boot animation screen, thanks to Wolf_2

    -changed build.prop settings to hsxpa=2 to enable hsupa and fix some users not being able to make/recieve calls

    -added new 1.6 OC buzzsense kernal, great battery life and plenty of speed(download SetCPU to enable)

    -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

    -added RomManager and TitaniumBackup latest versions

    -added NANO text editor + sysro/sysrw

    -added BASH command shell

    -updated Google Maps

    -allowed install of non-market apps

    -removed AT&T bloatware





    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.

    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.

    working themes/mods

    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.
