the first post in my thread has the STOCK, NONROOTED, AT&T shipped rom in cwm zip format ... with boot.img
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dragonsoul84:
Beats Audio?

Can anyone confirm if this update has Beats Audio integrated as stated it would by HTC? Just curious. Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
It does, its of better quality I would say then what was in the custom roms but of lower volume
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
Looking I'm settings it would appear that beats is currently disabled. It just needs to be setup in the kernel though which will need the source to do I believe.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
its only disabled until you plug in headphones
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vnun88:
I have a vivid that not rooted or unlocked or any of that but I want to update to ics how can I do it I've been checking for the update but there's nothin there I don't wanna root my phone I just want to install the update is there any way I can do that?????
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jayv81:
Only suggestion I have I to wait until the ota update is rolled out in your area. It will take weeks for all the locked users to get the update. Or maybe the ruu that's being build by pirateghost will work for you not 100% sure on that though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vnun88:
Ok thanks but I hope that ruu will work cuz I'm tired of waiting lol but I don't wanna root it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jayv81:
Please ask the dev first before flashing the ruu when available. I would hate for your phone to mess up.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vnun88:
I messaged him and got no reply I really want to find out but not at the risk of messing up my phone I guess I'll wait and c if he reply
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
if you keep up with the thread thats going on, i am working on getting someone to test the RUU for me.....

it does not need root or unlocked bootloader or anything, because its from HTC....as in their official upgrade methods.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vnun88:
Ok cool thanks a lot as soon as u get it tested let me no cuz I'm ready to flash like asap lol :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] randong:
wild child has released a ver. of this on his site....currently it is debloated and he is supposed to have "some goodies" in store for us later tonight or tomo
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vnun88:
Will u need root for it to work
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
if its a rom zip, you HAVE to have an unlocked bootloader....please read and understand the rules of flashing here
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vnun88:
Ok
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zacgoesrawr:
will my device still be rooted if i install the update? and if not, can the same method as before to root the htc vivid be used?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
dont think it will be rooted if you install the actual OTA update, but if you install the rom zip i have packaged up its rooted....

or you can just boot into CWM and flash the CWM rooting package found in the Superguide thread
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zacgoesrawr:
and to make sure, the rom zip is exactly the ota update?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
the current rom zip i have posted over in Dev section is STOCK OTA zip that has been rooted....thats it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zacgoesrawr:
obviously i'm new to android LOL (i've been apple only since 07' and i just switched to android last week)

but where is the rom you packaged with ics? would it be in rom manager or can i get a link? thanks for baring with me :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
have a look in the dev section, dude
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JayBuck:
Devs you rock

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to our amazing devs that got this ICS build up and working for us the same day it was released, you guys are amazing and we truly appreciate all of your hard work over the past couple of hours to get this going for us.

My vivid is in hyper mode now, I can confirm their steps work (a little hiccup where I had to flash my recovery via fastboot), but other than no issues and I am up and running on ICS...so excited!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] randong:
thank you pg

ten char.,,
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
I have been following this thread and would like to know what the current status is of having an RUU of the update for locked and stock Vivids? It would be cool for all of us, rooted and nonrooted, to update to this before it's official release.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
unless you have one, the status is.....

im trying to hunt down a proper one.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] PittFred:
Exciting news!

Two quick questions: if I install AT&T's update OTA, will this make it more difficult to install custom roms in the future? I was waiting to get the official ICS installed before using custom roms, but I don't know if it makes more sense to just jump in or not. I have no desire to go back to Gingerbread, so that's not a concern.

Also, I unlocked the bootloader a while back, do I have to relock it in order to get the OTA update? Have checked Software Update for 2 days and nothing, so I'm getting impatient, lol.

Thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] meatwad0222:
Yes u would have to relock but it is fairly simple...pg has a Rom of ics its out with instructions and it is semi easy to do...just follow to the t and you'll be fine....its even already rooted:D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
ICS RUU CLICK HERE​
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
Should nonrooted users install this like I manually updated my Inspire, following the instructions from htc for manual gingerbread update? Downloading it to the pc, connect phone to pc via htc sync, and running the RUU?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Samizdat:
Apps

Has anyone had a problem with unresponsive apps, or at least their icons? I find that often apps in my app screen won't work unless I move them to my home screen. Occasionally, the ones on the home screen will only work if I go into the app drawer.

Running Rum Float, but I first noticed this after I loaded the stock ICS.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
Would like to know this as well. This update is making me so impatient! Lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
Pretty much. Ruu will give you the hboot, kernel, and ics stock rom

Sent from my HTC PH39100
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
how do we apply it? Through hboot or HTC sync?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
Run the ruu on your computer with the phone plugged in. It will tell you what to.do. this is a manufacturers method of upgrading.

Sent from my HTC PH39100
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bigstout:
OTA schedule

does anyone possibly have a schedule of the OTA?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] charlyee:
Has anyone else done this yet, are you finding the app icons to be slow as this poster?

Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shogunmark:
I had this problem with PG's original rooted version, shortly thereafter i switched to a wildchild rom and havent had that problem since.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
is there an exe file in the ruu zip? havent downloaded yet to check.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
Yep

Sent from my HTC PH39100
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
thanks pg! So ready to get this on my phone! Btw, what mode does my phone need to be in when plugged in for the ruu to work?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
Should be like the Inspire manual update for gingerbread. Putting the phone in htc sync mode, selecting the file in the desktop of your computer, and letting it do its thing. Might want to backup texts, contacts, emails, and make a list of free apps installed, so you won't have to remember all of them, as it might wipe the phone like the manual gingerbread update did to my Inspire last year.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cw0725:
PG awesome job on the ics but just got a quick question. I got to the part where you said to flash the updated hboot file did all that now after the phone resets does it pull the ics zip file that you download on the sd card? I pulled out the battery and thats where i bricked my device had to return it to best buy.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
After you update HBOOT you have to unlock the bootloader, flash recovery, and then flash the ICS rom zip file.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cw0725:
strose since i got a new phone and have to start from scratch which one do i start with? everything is going so quickly and there are like 4 different ways to load the ics rom lol.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mibikin:
So, If I install the RUU, does it have the all the AT&T bloat and is it non-rooted? I'm kinda new to Android and don't want to root just yet.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zzoinks:
Stock Vivid owner here. Not rooted, not unlocked. Possible dumb question but I haven't seen it answered in this or PG's other thread.

If I update using the RUU, is it a full wipe and reinstall or more of an upgrade? All apps need reinstalled, all user data wiped?

If it's a full wipe, is there any way to do a backup if I'm not rooted? AFAIK, Titanium Backup requires root.

Thanks,

-Brett.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tennockey:
I believe it will wipe your phone, I think when you unlock/relock the bootloader it will wipe your phone. I also think the RUU itself wipes everything. I'm about 98% sure
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] haloXgod117:
Is there anyway to enable live wallpapers on the rum float beta 2 rom?

Sorry if this a nooby question, I'm new to android and im still getting used to/learning things.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] penguinfishies:
Adding on to these questions, do I entirely skip the updating hboot, relocking bootloader... etc steps if I run it directly from the ruu? Thank you!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DownTheCross:
+1 on the is it rooted or not question.

Just installed the RUU, with no trouble btw, and it seems it does have the bloat.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] penguinfishies:
Did you just launch the exe file without relocking bootloader or updating hboot?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DownTheCross:
Yeah, I just plugged my fully stock Vivid into the computer, connected via HTC sync, and then ran the RUU's .exe and then just let it do It's business, following all directions that popped up.

Also you can "Disable" or remove a lot of the bloat in the ROM using the regular android uninstall method(some apps have "disable" instead of uninstall) it has at least prevented them from running, and made them invisible...so out of site out of mind, I gotta say I rather like this ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
Guys,

ITS AN RUU...ITS OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL FROM HTC.....of course its not rooted, and of course it has bloat..... SMH

an RUU is an official upgrade/restore to stock method for HTC phones.

i swear the last couple of days has turned this whole forum into ravenous n00bs....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DownTheCross:
Sorry for the rhetorical question then man, I just didn't know if you had altered or done anything special to it, as when I used to have an HTC Fuse the dev released his ROMs in RUUs.

I know is a total noob question, and will probably end up being stupid as hell, but how do I root, and debloat ics without flashing another ROM?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] becandl:
See the Dev section... there is a nice little guide for you there.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zzoinks:
Since I contributed to the problem, let me try to answer some as well:

The RUU is a complete wipe, fresh install. All apps will need installed one way or another.

If you're on a stock (locked, not rooted) Vivid, there

s no need to do any other updates. The RUU is a one stop shop.

-Brett.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] charlyee:
I was planning to try this tomorrow, is yours working? Any problems or advice?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] haloXgod117:
Hey I'm having this problem....when I go to settings in rum float, and hit personalization, the settings app crashes....

Can anyone help?

Much appreciated
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
Well, it's a no go for me. Hooked up my phone through htc sync, ran the exe, and waited, and waited, and waited. Initialized the Installshield Wizard fine. After that I waited a good hour and nothing happened. I guess I'm gonna have to wait for the official release of it before I can update. Thanks PG and the other devs through their hard work in getting alot of these users updated. Just wish I could have joined the party early as well. :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
Try running it with the phone in charge only mode. I couldn't get it to work in HTC sync mode either but it worked in charge only mode.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
Kool, thanks, I'll try that
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lebmb:
i just had same issue when flashing stock ruu on my sensation before i sold it and the only way i could get it to flash was to put the phone in fastboot usb and run ruu. maybe it's the same on the vivid.

did anyone get the ota yet? i have nothing on my end yet
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
What the RUU likes to do is first to send the phone into the bootloader, and sometimes in Windows the driver doesn't like to load when you are synced. What lebmb said is correct, you can manually restart the phone in bootloader by hold Power + Vol down when starting or restarting the phone. Then run the RUU and it will start the process just fine.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
Nope, still no go. Tried it in bootloader and fastboot. I've got one last thing to try. I downloaded from my phone initially. I'm downloading it again on my computer right now. I gotta work tomorrow so I can't install it til I get home. I'll try this and if it doesn't work either, then I'm just gonna say screw it till my phone tells me there is an update
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
This may be my first post ever, although a long time viewer/reader, so linking does not work for me. Grab PG's RUU he posted on page 14.

I have a stock, unrooted, unmodified-in-any-ways Vivid. I ran the above RUU according to PG's instructions (simply plug your phone into your computer, run the exe, and follow the prompts) and it worked perfectly. It took between 10 and 20 minutes, it was all fully automated. It WILL wipe your device. You will begin at the initial setup like you took your phone out of the box.

I was a little nervous, but it worked perfectly with no snags.

Yes, it's an official update, so it contains all of the normal AT&T bloat. But, if you are stock & unrooted, you had all that stuff anyway, right?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zzoinks:
I ran into an issue installing from my Win7 64-bit Home Premium PC. I posted about it in PirateGhost's other thread, and he replied here indicating that my problem was due to missing drivers. He was right, and after a bit of searching I found this post that had just the drivers I needed.

As someone else indicated, the install ran for a while and finished without error. After the upgrade, the phone was wiped clean back to factory settings.

This was my first Android platform update, so here's a few other things that might be obvious to others but were news to me (I'm coming off an older Windows Mobile device):

Google was smart enough to restore all my (compatible) apps after signing in. Kind of negated the need for the big list of apps that I made prior to upgrading.

Before upgrading, go into the HTC messaging app and perform a backup if you want to maintain your SMS. The upgrade wipes them out, but you can use the HTC messaging app to restore afterwards.

Silly thing but it took me a while to figure out. In the original ROM, there was a dedicated menu for customizing the lock screen icons. I was trying to find one in ICS/Sense 3/6 and couldn’t. I finally realized that the icons on the lock screen mirror the order in which they appear on the launcher. Duh.

Big THANK YOU to Pirateghost for getting this all packaged up for us!

-Brett.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Culley65:
I also read that the official release will contain Sense 4.0.. I know this is essentially an official release so color me confused.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
although this was an official update, its still a leak, wich is usually isnt fully complete. the leak may have been to test how well ics plays with the vivid, and wanted to make sure of it before throwing sense 4.0 into the mix. also, i think they only stated that it would have android 4.0 and said an updated version of sense. i could be wrong though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
Where did you see that at? Even the leaks for the Sensation line contain Sense 3.6. It would be kool if we got 4.0, but I think we are officially getting 3.6 with features from 4.0
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
an OTA update is a leak?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
This one is, as at&t still say "coming weeks" and I'm not seeing anyone else saying they received notification of an update.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
I believe the this whole ICS rom started out with a post of someone saying they received an OTA update. It hasn't been rolled out everywhere yet but it is official.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] chall80:
it was an OTA. BrandonBaskins recieved it in Detroit. I just flashed it, and love it. I actually got an LTE signal boost...

I consistently switch between HSPDA and LTE(one bar) at my office. Since i flashed ICS, I'm rocking 3 bar LTE for the first time in this location!!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
I know that, just saying that at the current moment, it stands as a leak of the official update. It will be officially official in the "coming weeks ".
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] chall80:
I'm sure that this could be an argument all over the place, but in the end I think that it comes down to semantics. Neither you or I will ever know if it was leaked or not...dude recieved it OTA...and I don't know if ATT is required or expected to announce that they're rolling it out....

regardless...i love it...

Hi guys.

I am on Xperia Mini Pro Stock. When I press the volume down button, I noticed that it switches to ring than vibrate. If you play with the settings, then it's switches to ring/silent.

Where is the option to make it switch to ring/vibrate/silent?

Is there even such a feature?

tnx

PS: There are no clear answers in the forums, here are the threads I searched: So do not go all "search the forums first!" on me. They talk about it, but no one gives ever a clear answer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
I'm not sure how to use this option in video. It's under the faces option.

What does it do and how do you get it to work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
It's basically the same thing as the backgrounds option in Photobooth on a mac. It kind of works the same way as a green screen does (such as in weather reports). You step out of the frame, let it calibrate, and then you step back into the same frame, and now your background is customized. You obviously have to keep your phone extremely still and in the same frame for this to work. You can choose from several backgrounds to have (sunset, etc). So... yeah. That's what it is.

Oh ok. Thanks.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwandin:
Yesterday I attempted to flash back to stock with ODIN, but after the program said the operation was successfully completed I was left with a problem.

Now, whenever I attempt to turn on the device it hangs at the AT&T logo for about 10 seconds, the screen goes black, and this repeats indefinitely. And whenever I plug the device into any outlet there is the loading screen before it shows how much battery you have, but before it shows the green bar in the battery the screen goes black, and also repeats indefinitely.

I've tried all of the button combinations but cannot seem to get into download mode or even recovery mode.

There was one time where the device booted up, after about an hour of the AT&T logo flashing, but right after the phone booted up it shut down because it died.

Is there anyway I can get into download mode from this state?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
You have a late build phone, you flashed Odin one click to 2.1, later builds phones just bootloop with 2.1, and those bootloaders trend to break the button combos.

You'll need a jig to force download mode.

there is a sticky at the top of the dev section with stock packages, I'd suggest grabbing a gingerbread packages with bootloaders, so your phone will boot up AND it'll fix your button combos.
