Going Back to desire HD?! Custom roms on Telus?

Long story short, I had the uk desire HD and loved it. My only complaint was the washed out photos and 2g service...(rogers)
But now Telus has launched their new hspa network in winnipeg.... so I could have it again in its full glory.....
I am on my phone right now (2g) so I can't research much...
How are the latest roms and kernels?
Any gingerbread ports yet?
Thx in advance

The Telus device appears to have different audio chipset, so current custom ROM's are resulting in the loss of sound to your device, which being a phone is currently a bit of a show stopper bug

whoa, this is horrible news.... and lame all at the same time.... so no one has a telus device, working properly? Sounds like a simple driver tweak, but I am no developer....
I was about to flash my dhd tonight, and it was one of the main reasons I picked it over the iphone 4..... this could be a short lived purchase.
Also, is it ALL sound? The handset won't even work? /cries

If you look through the "no sound" thread you will see a fellow member wrote a new kernel allowing you to use different roms. Im about to try revolution hd myself right now.
Is that you kakarot from Redflag? you and your phones
Or if you want to stick with stock for now without any other kernels, you can downgrade using the "downgrade from 1.8x/1.72" thread and make a gold card and go to town. Then search for the "randroid" telus rooted 1.84 rom.

ahahha, yes it is me.... lol, my phone issue is getting much worse it seems... as I now have 2 nice phones on 2 different companies....
are they "specific" roms only that have this fix? any links appreciated. thx again....
I am not a big fan of stock, I like to root/unlock/flash/custom/kernels... I had the desire hd uk version, but got tired of 2g.... thought I would do the telus one because of the new hspa network (which so far, the upload is amazing, but download is pretty darn average).
I think I will pm u

search for the "raidroid telus rom" and use that one for now. You can use the revolution rom and use the Telus kernel.
Trust me, it works with either of them. Until the source gets released (prob next week) thats all we have for now (which is quite a bit for a new phone)
Im rooted and unlocked on Rogers.

Yea, Thx. I tried it but the sound was horrible....so now I am on the stock one.... I need more flashing, Hahaha..... I'm on tells but my rogers works as well.

Has anyone had a problem where after flashing your telus sim could not connect to the thelus network?
i have rooted and s-off and eng s-off. downgraded worked fine obviously. had the no sound problem but telus sim still worked. after flashing to a different ROM my telus sim no longer works in my DHD. seems to work with rogers and bell though. my sim also works in other DHD's but not mine.
any help is greatly appreciated!

[Q] RoyalMiui ROM - Wifi calling

I flashed the miui rom which I love by the way. It's so clean. Even with the battery drain I can't get myself to go back to my previous CM7 final. So this is my question, what's up with the wifi calling feature? Maybe I'm just missing something. Service is crap in my house so I use wifi calling quite a bit. Please help!!!!
Thanks.

anyone know anything about this? I live in a rural area and am lucky to even get a signal. I loved this feature when I got my mytouch 4g. Miui is great and I can live with out this feature on it, but it would nice if it could be added.
Thanx ppl

There is no wifi calling with that rom it doesn't work.

ROMs that support Netflix?

I'm wondering which ROMs actually work with Netflix. I've seen that CM7 does.
I used Android Revolution 5.1.x (currently .7) and have had no luck. I get the audio but only a blank screen.
Tried all three Netflix APK's and have updated Flash.
I'm assuming Android Revolution will not be resolving this for some time as its team have not answered thread comments on the subject. No big deal, everyone has their own designs in ROM's.
But, what other ROM's have proven workable with Netflix?

Any ROM based on CM 7 build #76 and on will allow you to play Netflix.

I'm not a CM7 fan. But, I've read that. Anyone know of others?
I think it would be helpful for people to know what's out there that works compatibility wise so they can read up on those exact ROMs before flashing.
It's crazy to try and flash/test every one.

I beg to differ
Also have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150

I've been watching that. So far, CM7 and the stock ROM have been confirmed to work and others haven't mentioned their ROM when they mention failures for Inspire.
So still left wondering which work and which don't.

Where did you see that the stock rom was working? I am running the stock rom with the gingerbread update, and all I get is audio and the white screen of frustration.

Want to try a new rom

My p7500 is rooted and as the latest overcome rom installed on it but I want to try one of the ICS rom's. So which is the best one from this model,as the camera been sorted yet and is there anyway of making sim phone call's yet

Cyanogenmod 9

AOKP is pretty gnarls. Google and/or Youtube 'making phone calls with Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1' and that'll point you in the right direction.

Done that but you mainly get pointed to the 7" tab or things like skype or viber

No ICS roms to date have camera functionality for our tabs. If you can live without the camera, cm9 and aokp are both very nice roms to work with. I switch between those and task14 quite frequently.

Isn't aokp for the p7510 version as I heard it as problems with the 3g on the p7500 tabs

I'm using AOKP on my P7500R right now and it works like a charm . I've been using it on 3G quite a bit also, with no issues I might add.

Can you link m to the right one just to make sure am looking at the right one

I like AOKP the best, but it is totally a preference thing. Try it and CM9, they don't cost anything. I find it helps me to discover what is out there and it helps me get more out of my tab.

[Q] How to fix wifi drops in kernel source?

Hi all,
I am experiencing occasional wifi drops when streaming music. Unfortunately, this is a known problem on stock. Some custom kernels (e.g., Franco's) have made some improvements to the kernel to prevent these wifi drops. I know I can use one of those kernels, but I prefer them stock and moreover, I prefer to compile the system myself. However, I cannot find these changes that fix the wifi issue (I browsed through all the developer's github accounts, but can't find it). Could someone point me in the right direction? Which files should be altered? Thanks in advance!!
Mark

Franco uses stock WiFi drivers. He didn't tweak/modify them. The WiFi issue has to be fixed by Google. It's been a known issue. Interestingly enough I haven't experience it yet.
Probably you should really ask the developers about it.

Thanks. I know I could ask the developers, but I thought I'd try it here first (so i wouldn't bother them) I read something about fixing the wifi issue in changelogs, so that's why I assumed some developers had tweaked the drivers. But I'll ask them!
