Right. Put that PG88IMG.ZIP on the root of your sdcard, reboot in bootloader than phone will look for, identify and flash the radio by itself. You just have to press vol up or down to confirm (don't remember exactly which one but it's indicated on-screen)

NOTE... Beware that this will erase EVERYTHING from your phone except what's on your sdcard...will be similar with "restore to factory defaults". You should first make a nandroid backup, then flash the firmware than restore from backup.\

One thing annoys me when multiple tabs are open in stock browser and when I try to switch tabs some time keyboard pops up
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
What the flying...

I don't remember flashing the radio would erase everything... at least it didn't work like that on the Desire HD / EVO 3D :) .

How about extracting the .zip? I mean... there's gotta be the radio.img in there, which I can flash via fastboot... right?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Yes, sorry, the .img file you should put on the root of the card not the zip file. For me it was erasing also the user data and I remember someone advices upon this in the Virtuous thread as well. Anyways it's a good idea to make a backup
[HTC Desire S] holvoetn:
What would be the added benefit of upgrading the radio ?

Just wondering ...
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
Better (or worse) mobile and wifi signal. Differs for everyone. It's not that there's an ideal version. I'm running the latest one available and I got a better mobile signal at home (less battery consuming).
[HTC Desire S] VoSA:
the touch screen freezes

Everything works perfectly, battery consumption is excellent, but I have a problem of freezing the touch screen after a long phone call. Does anyone have a similar problem, respectively, know how to fix it ? Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] beggar23:
Which MHz band?
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Something has happened, this rom was blazing fast in the beginning, now it has started to lag all over the place, like when typing, browsing, just going around in menus.

A reboot didn't change anything

Anyone else noticed this?

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
no, havent noticed. If it lags I just enter recent apps menu and swipe out few unnecessary apps and it helps... (btw. smartassV2/sio)
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
I might mention that I'm currently using Omdemand/SIO because i read that smartassv2 had some battery issues, can't say I've noticed any difference, i'm still idling around 18 mA which is very high, should be around 8-9 mA.

Anyway, I don't know what could be causing it.
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Ok Guys hope you loving the rom...:)

For Gmail app fc is mainly cos you just wiped cache and dalvik cache and installed the rom from prev version...

So just go to apps wipe data and reboot...should be all fine...

For any other app behaving similar way follow the same procedure :)

For a fresh install no such problem would occur :)

Next market thing I have inverted it...but it auto updates to white...so just freeze the market updater and all should be good :)

For people who have already updated white market...wipe cache and dalvik cache...remove market...reinstall rom or just copy the apk of market from rom to system...reboot and freeze market updater...it will be black :)

Finally people darken thing i have been working on it...this rom just hides the dialler as soon as I invert people app...tried with lots of contacts.apk...will continue with it...and try to make it black as well...even I hate it :P

Hope apart from these things seem good :)
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
vampire36

Black is great for me since. I have tried to replace the contacts in the black but my icon is then missing from the phone, I had to go back your contact.apk.

Otherwise, all work OK.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I told you am trying the same...so trying to find the root :)
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
I do not understand? Contacts can not be changed to black?

If so, please write me the procedure. Thank you!
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
is I it possible to have bounce and glow? When scrolling up and down?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
There's no screen-off animation either. But I don't know if Vampire can do it...he's just a porter not dev. Maybe Lord Clockan who's the developer of this ROM cand do such things and include it in next versions. For now there's v3.0 out but could not be ported yet
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
full wipe:

market probs: "cant download xy because of error" - even updates (maps) do not work. Wiped data of market, WiFi on/off, restart, reflash. Not working.

I personaly do not like the dark theme (I would like something like miui but with cm notifacation bar because of the power bar)

Thanks for the work..
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Thanks but on miui v4 they have a control panel and you can change stuff there like the bounce thing if I get the apk and install it would it work? And also miui doesn't have the crt animation
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Hz

in my opinion the darkness is amazing. But you can flash normal gapps to revert back to stock white.

Hello, thank you for the port! Loving this rom! I need some help. I installed ics keyboard apart from the default one to get the "Enter" button on messaging app. The thing is that when I press enter, it sends message instead of going to the next line. Can I change its settings or is there anyway to do it?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] Fastrite:
Back light buttons not working here either. Can get them to work temporarily by going to settings/display/brightness and toggling the auto brightness, but as soon as the screen sleeps they stay off. There is a fix in the CM9 thread (can't find it now!) but it didn't work for me. I lost the black market and am just about to change it back and freeze it and a dark contacts would be good too :).

Cool Rom.

Splashed from a puddle in Devon
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
For back lit buttons go to Display - Automatic backlight. Check "Use custom" then go to "Edit other levels". On the rightmost column set 255 for top to bottom, then press "Save & Apply". That will set max back lightning for buttons regardless of the ambient light. You can also check at top where the measured values of the sensor are. You can see there if for the measured value of light, the buttons should be lit or not. For ex if you have there 1654, check in the list if that for that value on the button column is 0 or 255. If it's 0 they should be off, if it's 255 should be lit. Similarly you can adjust the level of screen brightness in the center column.

Don't forget to press Save & Apply after making changes. For me it's working

[HTC Desire S] MicShadow:
In response to what kernel to use, I'd vote tiamat kernel. It has amazing battery life in my experience and it has more useful CPU governors. I'd at least put a link in your first post
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
At the gb version you are right, the new ics version has atm worse battery life than the cm9 kernel.
[HTC Desire S] 4myphone:
Any way to test face unlock with this ROM?

Edit: no problems for me with market or anything for me, do seem to have 2 music apps though.
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
one music app is the default Google music and the other is the cm9 in regards to the cm9 music I play a couple of songs and it force closes on me.

Also gun bros from the market doesn't work for me
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Market works perfect for me...just freeze updater...clear the app data...reboot...should work...:)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
mine works perfectly without freezing as well
[HTC Desire S] rakhan01:
Market works perfectly fine for me

The things which dont work for me

Gallery (menu/settings)

Hd videos

Youtube(hq mode is fine, but standard mode is freezy)
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Umm... the bootloader doesn't read .img`s on the SDcard... or does it?! Anyway, I think the safest way to flash the radio would be via fastboot... anybody confirm that? That's how I did it on the Desire HD / EVO 3D, more than once :) .

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

What's the version, please? Perhaps you could provide a link or something?

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

I just flashed the latest built of the ROM and the Camera fix. When I went into Settings - About... I saw the kernel version was not 3.x as expected (ICS), but 2.6.15 or something like that (as far as I know, that's GB). What the hell?

Not sure what it was before I flashed the update, but I think it was the same (2.x, not 3.x). I'm sorry, but on the S2 and Note, the ICS kernels are 3.x and GB ones are 2.x... and that's how I think it is on all phones :/ .

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

Not sure what's wrong with your phone... but let me tell you (all) this :) .

My Desire S runs at the stock frequencies/governor (didn't change them) of the latest ROM build (8.3), and it seems faster than my Galaxy Note :) . It seemed faster even than the Galaxy Nexus, running AOKP M6, believe it or not...
[HTC Desire S] beggar23:
+1

What the heck?
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
+1

Also getting reboots under load, maps mainly
[HTC Desire S] beggar23:
Aaand happens again. Although GPS isn't switched on. This drains battery like hell. :(
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
@ guys "+1"`ing... how about thanking instead? Just saying :p

-----

Not sure about the kernel thing... I mean... I thought GB kernels are not compatible with ICS and vice versa - at least not on HTC devices. It is possible on the Galaxy Note, for example, but even in that case, not EVERY time. So it's most likely a mistake in the name... or is it?!

Cause all of the sudden I'm starting to have awkward issues like... the live wallpaper goes static, at least for a few seconds right after I unlock the screen... the toggles in the pulldown notification bar don't appear right away (but only after a short delay - some times)... and once, I found the phone turned off (it was definetly on not 5 minutes before).

Not sure what the kernel version was in the previous build (the one from 3rd of July)... if it was any different.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
we dont have fully working 3.x kernel for Desire S... at least not for non-sense ROMs... so all AOKP and CM9 runs on 2.x.... Even CM10 (Jelly bean) runs on 2.6.35.14...
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Lol? Alright :/ . So I take HTC hasn't released the source code for it on ICS yet...

MIUIv4 for Desire S will be released this friday... perhaps they did something? We'll see :D

Sent from my GT-N7000
[HTC Desire S] Bewinxed:
Happens here as well, and if i keep GPS switched on the GPS lock-on icon stays there in the status bar, even if i kill whatever app is/was using it, like Google Maps O.O

Also sometimes the GPS just freezes, even if i turn it on it doesn't poll for GPS update, and i have to restart it for it to work, must be kernel i think, That's up to HTC :/ it's already 24th of july wth

On earlier builds the battery was amazing though!
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
Just noticed I have screen draw issues. Eg I go from a SMS/email etc to say browsing web, but can see a feint shadow of prev screen, can actually see it now...

Dunno if its from rom or screen on way out :(

Still my fav rom til jb gets stable
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
I'd say faulty screen hardware. But try another ROM to see if the problem persists... shouldn't be software related, though...

Sent from my GT-N7000
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
My thoughts too. Will restore reaper backup or wait for nk111 cm10 build and see if occurs there

:thumbup:
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
It's quite a common issue on the DS. Happens on mine. Can't say it bothers me.
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
Fair enough. Never noticed before and the gf's ds doesn't do it, not a problem tho :o

Thx for replys
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
I doubt that it's a common issue. Ghosting was common for LCDs, at least several years ago :) . But oh well, *some* Nexus 7 have it, too, so... yeah... actually, it can be common, nevermind my babble, lol.

Neither my Desire HD nor my EVO 3D ever showed any sign of image retention. My girlfriend's Desire S doesn't have it, neither. My Galaxy Note... doesn't, although many others seem to do.

Anyway... if it bothers you, and you're within warranty period... you know what to do. I know I'd rush to the store if I were you, haha.
[HTC Desire S] creppo87:
Will there be a port of the last ICS Release?
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
I have it when ever i use dophin browser, but it does disappear after awhile. doesnt happen with any other browser i tried. I could reproduce it with dolphin, not sure why, nice browser.

Dun think it is something to be worried about, as for i me i just use other many alternate browser out there.
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
restored reaper backup and no ghosting... strange... oh well not a big issue, just noticed it for first time when i posted, new handset in 3 monthsish anyway :)
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
My girlfriend just confirmed : ghosting is present. Although I could not see any... Guess it's random, and not really much of a big problem (as it is with SAMOLEDs). Whether it appeared after I flashed this ROM, or she had it before, too... remains to be seen.

She does not use Dolphin, by the way. She rarely uses Browser, actually, since no mobile data.

Will flash MIUIv4 once it goes official this Friday. We'll see if this persists, but shouldn't be software related, anyway, so what the hell :/

[HTC Desire S] zerokoolmyth:
i have install this ROM and i notice that when i play games, the touch control always release, like when holding forward it release automatically and my character stop walking, its kind of annoying coz control always releases, is there a fix for that, tried everything in setting and also the scrolling cache, thanks in advanced :)

Edited: Solve problem by re flashing the rom
[HTC Desire S] Fetz Braun:
Yes, the same here, FC when starting the app
[HTC Desire S] zerokoolmyth:
yes i have same issue, i just reverted back the older version
[HTC Desire S] Bewinxed:
FC here as well, Also with the latest Google Play Music :/

Actually, most of the apps i update now give FCs after updating, uninstalling the update makes it work well again, tried wiping, same~<3
[HTC Desire S] Grizzly6117:
Absolutly amazing

Ive been using 8.3 since its was released and i seriously cant believe how smooth it is. This is literally as smooth as my new Nexus 7 tablet with jellybean. i havnt even bothered considering changing roms since i got on the latest Icecoldsanswhich. cant help my self but to just sometimes scroll randomly. not just settings the whole rom is buttery smooth

thanks so very very very much Vampie for your amazing Hard work :laugh:
[HTC Desire S] zerokoolmyth:
gives random reboots and freezes, specially when playing 3d games, can someone confirm on that coz i play games a lot, and if this is rom issue maybe i'll just go back to fallout

else this is the fastest rom i have flash, ice cold sandwich for DHD have v8.4 if random reboots and freezes for DS be fixed this will be the best rom :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
YouTube and play updates cause issues on many roms and devices, not just this one. Similar posts in other forums, updates to come from Google so just uninstall updates for now :)

Edit: can confirm I get random reboots too and occasionally Gmail freezing
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
Seemed to have fixed ghosting by changing scrolling cache from force disable to default enable. And rom still smooth :)
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
I think its Google's ics apps, quite a few have issues, shame
[HTC Desire S] flyfingersfly:
yep its app. Happens on mine too.

v8.4 should be coming soon eh?

This week was too hectic...workload was high...

Will surely push a new build this weekend...

Is the date visible for all of you in the notification bar?

Never seen the date with this rom in notification bar. I use the digital clock on screen provided with this rom

Enable the AOKP Weather in ROM Control. You can disable the display of the weather and set the update interval to 0. I use this workaround since 8.1 I think.
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Nope... and my girlfriend's angry about that, lol.

Not sure why the date from the notification / pulldown has been removed... it is included in AOKP, so someone else must have removed it on purpose, for no apparent reason -.-

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

YouTube is working fine on my Galaxy Note running ICS and on two Galaxy S3's I got my hands on for a couple of minutes.

Must be the lower resolution of the Desire S, which was excluded from the updated app... Or simply a bug? I dunno.

Where is the option to set volume button as camera shutter....?

There's no need to manually flash boot.img via fastboot if you're S-OFF`ed... That is only required if your device is unlocked S-ON.
[HTC Desire S] Desire S:
This, they are all messed up.
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Erm... I believe there's an option under Settings - ROM Control - Toggles, called "Reset toggles". I'd recommend you try that, then see how it is... Other than that, I don't have anything else :/
[HTC Desire S] Desire S:
I allready have done that, don't work... I dont know why it is in this way, when i intalled the rom, this was fine then i change the toggles, i put the data, then when i opened toggles, they are all messed and dont work like in the first time :/
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
If by "messed up" you mean that the text and the switch are overlapping change the toggle type to Icon only (or similar) in the settings
[HTC Desire S] Desire S:
I have done that, but i like the text with the switch off/on........ but ok... no solution.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
There is just not enough space for that. This type of toggles are look like this since the first AOKP ROM appeared. You can try another AOKP based ROM that supports lower dpi and you will have them as you like
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
You can also try to go to system and change font to "small". There will be more text displayed

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] Xaarnak:
You should reduce the screen density under System Settings -> ROM Control -> General UI -> LCD Density down to 200 or something (follow the steps there) so the icons and everything on your screen gets smaller and you get more space. Hope this helps...

I'd suggest something different. Try to perform a full wipe and flash ANOTHER ICS ROM, like the recently released MIUIv4, for example, and see if the problem persists. This goes for the Wi-Fi thing.

About the Camera... I have no idea what you're talking about.

But... speaking of Camera... My girlfriend was suddenly unable to use the Camera (Could not connect to Camera) app. 12 hours later, it was working flawlessly... haha.
