For those that find the new font hardly readable (like me), here's an XDA thread containing ZIP files for both Roboto Standard and the Roboto font used in Jelly Bean.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1754841

The new font is barely readable especially if you switch to a non standard DPI like 210 or lower. Could be that for standard 240 DPI works fine but I prefer higher res versus newer font
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
I have standard dpi, and really love the new font. Very happy with this update. One app is not working anymore, couldn't install it again, I use a alternative app instead. Probably because I didn't do a full wipe.
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
Took me a few hours to get used to but I like the new font too. Seems more crisp or something (240dpi that is). It's running absolutely great so far! The only issue I have is that the game 'Clouds and Sheep' doesn't work anymore, which my gf like to play a lot :) It reboots the phone as soon as you enter a level.
[HTC Desire S] batmobile_bang:
everything good here. had one freeze when i was browsing in the gmaps, rest seems ok. No FC's on front camera either.

Have applied the blackened frost UI and have to say its just MindBLOWing. Would like to know about other MODs available for this fantastic ROM.

I really appreciate what you guys are doing here. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
Using the rom from OP with cam fix, everything working fine, no call drop(but the call was less than a minute). no freezes so far(but haven't tried to do anything heavy) so far sooooo good =D
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
been using this all day, very nice rom and the best ICS I have used, dont like sense, never have, and others seem to not like my phone, but this is good!

only issue is gmail app freezing... cleared app cache/data, fixed permissions, done everything i could and still same issue... so uninstalled update and all is good now :)

i think this will be my daily for a while!

:cool:
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
In case the gmail issue comes back: Delete the gmail app (e.g. with Titanium Backup, since it's a system app), and reinstall it from market. Included in the ROM is V4.0.4, the one from Play Store is V4.0.5, and this one causes less trouble here.
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Love the rom, it's incredibly smooth.

But I have no audio or vibration when I receive a phone call.

When I try to select a ring tone the selection stays on silent anyway.

I made a clean install.

Edit: just re-flashed and everything is ok now..

Weird though, cause it's the same zip-file as last time, and md5 is correct..

Well, i'm happy!

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Am I blind or there's no changelog on the OP? :cyclops:
[HTC Desire S] bl4ckb1rd:
try settings -> sound -> system volume

sometimes the system volume is set to 0... but i can't reproduce this.
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
System volume is at 50% approx.

I noticed as well that no system sounds (notifications) are audible when I try to change the default notification sound. The media volume is also at 50% approx.

Sent from an ICS/Sense 4 powered rom by lowveld!
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Look 2-3 pages back, it's my port there and I've attached the full original changelog. Or you can go to original thread from the link in OP and check there on first page
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
Thanks, tried this too but same issue, Gmail crashes every other time I use it :confused:

Also had full system freeze last night and this morning, 3button didn't work.

Back to reaper
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
Also one time total freeze. 3 buttons did not work. Very happy with the rom.
[HTC Desire S] Pride4u:
Howdy,

I installed the "July 3rd version" (8.2 I think) of this ROM and added the fancy Blackened stuff. The ROM looks cool and works almost fine, and that "almost" is the problem - it happened to me a few times that the whole system just froze or something like that, becuase after I unlocked the phone, the touchscreen just didn't respond. Did I do something wrong and is there any way to fix this?

Thanks

EDIT: Wow, better still, after flashing the optional kernel, the phone doesn't even boot.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Yup expected...download latest rom...and it has d kernel...and that freeze issue will be gone :)
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
HI, has anyone tried the Tiamat_Saga-v031412 ICS kernel on this one?

THIS IS SO NOT RECOMMENDED!
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Its a very old kernel released march...might break stuff...would suggest stick to default works well :)
[HTC Desire S] Garonte:
Thanks a lot, rom is freaking smooth, fastest I've ever been on so far.

Cheers guys!
[HTC Desire S] rzr09:
Hmm, just tried to switch to front cam and it fc, now when I try to launch the cam app constantly fc
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Installed the cam fix? (see first post)

Wipe app data afterwards and it'll be fine again.
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
Haha! yeah, I decided to test it myself. It works, but when I tried to change the clock speed in SetCPU, the phone froze and the two/three buttons didn't work, adb didn't work, too, had to resort to battery pulling. Didn't try the second time, straight away went back to the default kernel.

To my surprise, my battery lasted longer today! usually it drains within 8hrs (I'm quite a heavy 3G+browsing/flipboard user), but it only drained 52% over 8hrs, and now I have 48% left! I guess it's the s2w absence and SIO, but that could be placebo as well.. The only important thing is, I'm happy, very happy with this ROM!

Btw, what is AP and Bln in the toggle settings? And what are the dis/advantages of fast charge?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Fast charge won't work. Needs kernel support. Bln is back light notification which lights up the soft keys when you receive a notification .
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
- AP= Access Point. Usually refers to a WiFi Access Point, you turn your phone into one then you can connect to it with your laptop and use phone's internet connection. Called also WiFi Tethering

- BLN = BackLight Notification. It's using the lights on the "hardware" keys to indicate events, similar how the LED is blinking. So when you'll have an SMS, keys will lit for ex.

- FastCharge = the mode in which you connect phone to USB on your PC and is ONLY charging. No connection with the PC is possible in that mode, only charging. It is considered "fast charge" because several services that allow phone to PC connection (USB mode, ADB, etc) are not active thus consuming less power and charging faster

Dan-fish was faster...since it took some time for me to write all this :)

Yummy...8.4 test 1 & 2 are out...time to play
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
Ooohh.. I see.. Didn't realise those abbreviations.. LOL.. :o

So the TETHER option is for wired tethering and the AP is for Wireless tethering (Hotspot).. Sorry for not realising this earlier..

Thanks a lot both of you!
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
I love the new font!
[HTC Desire S] batmobile_bang:
Have been using it from few days and no problems at all - no freezes and FC's. The most complete ICS ROM! And the blackened frost UI is the best.
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
Do you still get Kernel oops in this ROM like it used to under heavy load? Been on sense a while now and the housemate just got it for his DHD...
[HTC Desire S] niravnn:

Probating IceColdSandwich, switched from BlindICE due to battery drain problem.

Apex and Nova removed. Apollo installed. Using SmartAssV2 and SIO. Scrolling Cache forced disable.

Let see if this rock ma saga boi.
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
What app are you using to change I/O to SIO?

Edit: installed No Frills and saw that SIO was default :)
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
Had the phone in standby for 6hrs with only 1% battery discharge. I am happy with this ROM!

you can try SetCPU or No-frills CPU

It would be awesome if SuperCharger implemented in this Rom :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276

what say you?
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
I used to add..but more or less this rom seems fluid with 0 lags...

Couldn't see much difference after adding it as well...so avoided...

Yet will try to provide a flashable fix for it...:)
[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
for now, this is super fast with 1% lag. only 1% :D . Which means, yes this is fast bro :D

just wanna try if SuperCharge can make any difference. anyhow, nice Rom :)
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
True dat!

Been using the rom for a while nog and it is without a doubt the fastest one I've ever used (and I used them all :P)

Can't wait too see what you guys can do with JB.

With that said I'd also like to see if V6 does make a difference.. can't get enough speed right?

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] veef13:
been using for a few days now, and the initial issues with gmail seemed to have sorted itself out with a root explorer remove and reinstall, had same issues a few times but now 100% ok

had 2 total freezes, but was oc to 1100, which usually aint an issue, put back to stock and been rock solid

using nova launcher and unused aps/apks stripped out, love it!
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
Does anyone have the issue that battery life is great on WiFi but terrible on 3g? I can literally see the battery percentage drain when I am outside of wifi and it won't hold for a day, whillst on wifi I can have it online for 2 days (with roughly the same amount of 'work' with the phone).

I know 3g consumes more power than wifi but I think it never was that obvious.
[HTC Desire S] Pride4u:
Maybe I'm reinventing the wheel, but I noticed the statusbar clock is kinda bugged and doesn't refresh properly. Don't know if it's a general problem with ICS ROMs and/or fixable.
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
I also think that battery is draining fast when in use. I can't say what is causing it. If it is wifi, 3g, or maybe screen. Yesterday I did a full wipe and reinstall the rom and camera fix. Reinstalled downloaded apps with titanium. If this helps, I don't know yet. I did have a complete lock again this morning. 3 buttons reboot did not work. After 15 minutes it rebooted itself. I did wipe cache and dalvik. And do a permission check. Until now no complete lock again. Only fast battery drain and that freeze thing is bothering me. The rest is great.
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
+1 to that.. I didn't even have one..

Oh, and one more thing, I didn't know why but suddenly I can't seem to switch to 2G data connection from 3G.. It keeps reverting back to 3G.. I tried using the toggle, go through the settings, as well as the *#*#4636#*#* menu and changed it from WCDMA preferred to GSM only, but it keeps reverting it back to 3G..
[HTC Desire S] Bewinxed:
I can totally confirm this, battery life went from Godly to horrible

It barely survives through 6-7 hours for me Q_Q

Fullwipe, All apps installed manually as usual
[HTC Desire S] elburna:
Hmm thats strange ... I have the best battery life ever. 10 hours in standby (half wifi, half 3g) and my battery only lost 8% with 3 Google accounts synced and some more stuff... with other roms i just made it over the day with moderate use...

...via Tapatalk on TF300T
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Statusbar clock...try a reboot...happens sometime a reboot should solve...:)

Yup thats odd haapens sometimes...reboot...and also...check...i use 2g only...so can't comment much...

But this issue is present.. :)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Battery must be some app misbehaving...try analysing battery stats using some app...

Also give sometime for rom to settlein...and also do a reboot if some process in background is misbehaving...

But my gutfeel is some app acting like a rascal :P
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
For me is battery when phone is in standby oke. Battery is draining fast when i use the phone.

Can anyone give me a tip which battery check app does the job. I prefer a app which is easy to understand.
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
tried that, but didn't work.. no status bar clock at all.. I rebooted many times (not for ROM issues) but it's still absent.. Same thing happens with the 2G, several reboots didn't solve the problem..

But, I can say that battery life is great, I managed to get almost 18hrs with this version, compared to the 8-12hrs of my usual usage.. that includes always-on 3G, 4hrs of PowerAMP, and 3hrs of browsing/flipboard, and 50 over text and another 50 whatsapp.. very happy with this one..

Anyone else having a "gingerbread themed" Google search (e.g. when pressing the search hardware key)? I remember that was in the ICS style some time ago.

[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Erm... Yeah. Before this all gets covered up with other stuff, I'm gonna quote myself and chime in again. Hope it's okay...

The phone is running the build from 3rd of July - not this recent one from 12th. So... the Camera was indeed bugged in that build? Cause now, in the OP, I see there's a fix for the Camera...

I downloaded both the latest ROM and the Camera fix... will flash them tomorrow. No data wiping is required if coming from a previous build of this ROM, right? Cache/dalvik wipe should do... am I right?

(I'm asking this because in the OP, I see full wipe is strongly recommended - although I can't exactly understand when :) and this is not my poor IQ brain's fault... but the language used, haha).
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
If you come from a version of IceColdSandwich prior to 8.2 test 7, you should full wipe. If you come from a newer version, you can try only cache/dalvik wipe. In case of problems though, you should make a full wipe.

The fix for the camera is there because the latest ROM had some issues with camera so Vampire has posted a fix for it
[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
Can any one confirm that Instagram camera is not working or buggy.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I saw some complaints about this in the DHD thread, but I knew it was solved...depends on what version you are
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Erm... Not sure. All I know is I flashed the build from 3rd of July - which was 8.3, I believe.

Oh well... Will flash the latest + CamFix. Hope a full wipe is not necessary... Fingers crossed...

Although... the camera worked perfectly fine for a week - it just stopped working yesterday. No flash process occured... so I have no idea what might have caused it :/ . I'm hoping the latest build + CamFix will do the job... that's the sole reason why I flash, lol.

[HTC Desire S] vulpine:
This rom is perfect. Its very smooth and fast. Undoubtedly the best ICS rom for desire S.

But recently I've noticed that battery life is very low. Gives me 23 hrs on very lite usage with occasional 3g data which is not a good thing.

Please do something about it and I am no more going back to endymion 3.5 again please....

and I have random reboots when browsing. I have tried clearing data and then reboot , also fixed permissions but still it reboots when browsing. Any one else is facing similar issues...
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Okies battery..please use some battery app and check if its caused by some app...cos if its all of a sudden 99% its some app acting smart :P

Browsing thing is know...that is cause we don't have kernel 3 yet...So we ll have to wait...

While browsing don't zoom in zoom out while page loading causing it to become over loaded and reboot...just wait for loading to complete and then check...

Use chrome as browser...reboots less as compared to stock...
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Sorry mate, didn't mean to offend you :D

-----

I didn't have time to flash the latest version and all... I just managed to transfer the files via BT (broke 12 ribs in the waiting process), and I'll probably do the flashing tomorrow.

Anyway. I noticed that the Camera suddenly started working again. My girlfriend was like @_@ and I was like "why did you lie to me", lol.
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
I have downloaded https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm its a nice battery app. For me there is not a app giving problems. After last complete reinstall battery life seems to be a lot better. Screen causes 70 to 80% of the drain.
[HTC Desire S] Pride4u:
I wiped the cache and Dalvik cache, apllied the fix, and the camcorder is still messed up - keeps crashing after taking a second video (which, by the way, is also always broken).
[HTC Desire S] malaccio:
i love this rom.:silly::silly:

however battery life is very low.:crying:

what s the setting in Rom control - performance that i have to change to exyend battery duration?

what governor? how many free memory? scrolling cache?

i ve the rom stock kernel.. have i to flash AOKP kernel posted on the first page?

thanks!!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] holvoetn:
I don't get it.

I am using this ROM for 4 days now, FANTASTIC battery life.

Today I was away from 06h45 til 18h15, two 1hr drives (which can really eat away battery because of the constant switching over of cell towers), battery was still at 93%.

That's with plenty of 3G-data and over 1hr of calls. Wifi and BT are always on because I don't bother anymore switching it off since some of the earlier versions already.

Truth to be told, I am using DX Battery Saver.

I did start from a full wipe (cache, Dalvik, the works).

Thanks Vampire !
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Reboot :) . Maybe the battery's at 5%, but the counter just froze so... I know that's what happened to me on the Desire HD a few times, haha.
[HTC Desire S] malaccio:
what are the governor differences?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Heard of Google?
[HTC Desire S] malaccio:
ya but in this ROM....
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
it does not matter, man :) ....and no. there is no SIO scheduler yet :)
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
Using latest build. I had the Smartass governor enabled (default setting in last rom-release) and had terrible battery life. Switched to on-demand and have made quite some calls and heavy mail-usage on 3g today and lost only 30% in about 7 hours time. For me it seems that smartass governor is the bad-ass here. I'll keep an eye on it and report. btw no difference in performance on first sight. I first moved to interactive but that was sluggish sometimes when just unlocked the phone.
[HTC Desire S] esideboi:
Best ics rom so far and I think I have tested all of them, it's smooth, lag free and font looks amazing. Great job!
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
I am now at 53% after a day of a-bit-more-than-average use on 3g. That is on on-demand governor. Yesterday I was still on SmartAss and with less use than today I had only a few percent left at 23:00. I did not even reboot between switching to on-demand.

I'll keep an eye on that and maybe I will switch back to smartass for a few days but for me switching to on-demand gives me back great battery life so far. Kick ass rom!
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Battery complaint...guys please check your setup and apps...

I have great battery and rock stable...1 off day battery won't go haywire...so just check your apps behaviour...:)

And btw an update is round the corner...:)
[HTC Desire S] beggar23:
This is a fantastic ROM! Regarding performance significantly better than my old CM7. No fc or similar problems so far. Thank you guys so much!

One question though, will there be further developments towards a better camera/image quality?

Greetings. :)
[HTC Desire S] Sick1:
I used this from very beginning when it came here, lots of reboots and freezes. Changed back to GB and fell in love with Miui. Then decided to go with MiuiV4 for a long time but now changed back to this and think this is awesome! Really smooth, no reboots and freezes for 1 day usage for now. Hope this stays supported cuz i thought this was finalized and discontinued a while ago? Using Sweep2Wake kernel downloaded from Miui.us thread posted by vampire, and think its good and solid!

Peace!
[HTC Desire S] beggar23:
Well, now I found something strange:

Although switched off I have a wake lock "GPS" according to BBS. Its duration increases while GPS isn't active, according the GUI at least.

Can someone please provide a thought regarding this?
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
Vampire, the governor is always reset to smartass after a reboot whatever i set it to. Can i force it to another one somewhere?it might be one of my apps but on smartass my battery sucks, on another one it doesn't..
[HTC Desire S] vulpine:
That doesn't happen in my case, it remembers my choice of governor even after a reboot. Yeah, after changing to ondemand I have observed that there's an increase in battery life.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
try something like setcpu..i use that always...

just check on reboot if governor is retained in it...:)
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
I have'set cpu at boot' checked. Clean install. Keeps getting after reboot. Not a big issue but just a bugreport :)
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
Setcpu is a app. Download on play store, there must be a topic on xda, where you can download it for free.
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
Oh ok. Then I am probably stupid, but then what does 'apply cpu at startup' do in ROM-control?
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
It should lock your settings after each start up. But it seems it does no work. Maybe when you use Setcpu it works.
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Radio

Is there a recommended radio that should be used with this ROM, or any other ICS-based ROMs, speaking of which?

Right now I'm using the one from 2.10.401.5 RUU, 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04, and 2G/3G/Wi-Fi don't seem to be bugged or anything... but I'm curious... maybe the new radio for ICS is better?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I'm using 20.71.30.0833U_3831.17.00.16_M and it's Ok for Romania. You can find it HERE. Just download the firmware from Virtuous ROM.
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
