I bought an unlocked HTC Desire S (from vendor in Florida) and it seems to be a southeast Asian model (or international?).

For language settings, besides three non-English, it has several flavors of English to choose from (I picked Singapore, rather than Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, or Pakistan)... for keyboards, it mentions Thai, Touch input, and Vietnamese... and now I'm getting notification of a map update (but for the same locations mentioned above except Brunei Darussalam instead of Pakistan).

I did see 'MoreLocale 2' mentioned, and I can set English US N/A that way ...not that I see much happen except something loading when I return to home. I expect that the US locale language is loaded, yes?

If I try to use the map/location features, it knows I'm in the US, but I just get a green background, no map.

So... am I stuck with this situation, or is there a way for me to make it a "US" device/maps/etc.?? Perhaps rooting and some Rom Updating??? I don't have a problem with that, I guess... (just wanted an unlocked phone to put my Consumer Cellular SIM in, and use WiFi-only for data). I do PC's/CAD for a living, rooted my Nook Color, jailbroke iPod Touch 4 (repeatedly); I prefer the N2Acard for the NC now, though (and I -did- donate to XDA/Cyanogen ;)).
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You need to show us the full details from your devices bootloader screen which will greatly assist.

However before you start it is recommended that you adjust the following two settings:

Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging = TICK (Yes)

Settings->Power->Fast boot = UNTICK (No)

Then to restart your device in Bootloader mode

Power Off the Phone

Wait five seconds

While holding in the [volume-down] button press the [power] button (when the phone's turned off)

Then note all the details and write them down....and put them back into this thread

I wouldn't worry about the map as Google maps is the best mapping software you'll get on the phone.
[HTC Desire S] RpDn:
Thanks... I did tick USB Debugging, and UNtick Fast boot... rebooted...

I expect all you need is the first paragraph, but...

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I would suggest that you need to spend a day or two reading, follow the link INDEX in my signature and read through the various GUIDES in the initial section to get familiar with terms and terminology used.

install ADB/FASTBOOT on your PC (by following advice given in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1272595 )

determine your base ROM details by using command

fastboot getvar cidnum

You'll find the code in the following list

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=994630&d=1334067717

Create a gold card on a fresh SD card

Then probably S-OFF using revolutionary (this may root and install a custom recovery)

root your device

install a custom recovery (suggest 4EXT)

upgrade by flashing ENG hboot bootloader

Then either pick a custom ROM or a stock ROM (see INDEX for lists)

[HTC Desire S] RpDn:
Thanks, I'm only wondering about rooting and the coming Ice Cream Sandwich update. Would I have to go back to 'stock', wipe out all customizations, to get it? (Maybe backup with Titanium?) Haven't read all the features of ICS either, but I see the D-S has

no

NFC antenna for it... wonder if it's worth the fuss on the D-S. Ok, time for some homework ;)

Interesting swype: "Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim"

A little joke?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
your stock ICS ota question it's one that many people are asking. ICS is newer and seems faster, there are many part functional ICS builds already for this device but it will be approx one more month until we get out it officially (although there is no actual date yet).

IMO once you un lock and root your phone you won't look back, you certainly won't look to HTC for updates, but the developers here at XDA, who undoubtedly release better quality more functional roms than the official ones

titanium is great at backing up your apps across roms and I couldn't do without it when flashing different ROMS myself you need to read about the importance of nandroid backups

and yes my Swyped tag is a little joke, ;)

Having just come from the inspire 4g, I've had the luxury of having asopx, which if you search their forum you'll see its as close to Google source as possible with all the cm crap gutted, I've been hoping to see one pop up over here but didn't know if perhaps there just wasn't any demand here in Samsung land. Anyway the phone is awesome, just dislike touchwiz, and want the bare bones stock look and feel of ics, to which I can then customize from there. Seems like all the roms thus far have traces of touchwiz and or tons of cm tweaks and apex lanuchers and all that nonsense that we should have the ability to add from a bare bones build, kinda like a foundation to then just customize from there.

Please show some love if you want this as well, would gladly donate for some dev to get on it :beer::):beer:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
CM9 and AOKP are the closest things you will get to a pure AOSP OS.

If you wanted guaranteed pure AOSP, you should've bought a Nexus device.

BTW, that "CM crap" as you put it, vastly improves the ability of the OS. As does (and this is my opinion only) Touchwiz4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
Why don't you build your own op if you're not happy with what's offered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PatriotXT92:
Instead of criticizing why not try helping? There actually is a pure AOSP based ROM that we recently got support for named Codename Android. I'm not sure if it 100% running on our phone yet but they are working to do so.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jvanlew:
Codename Android on my Nexus S [link] is really nice. It was one of my favorites. If we could see that (at some point) on our phones, that would be awesome.

I built and ran AOSP ICS 4.0.3 for my Nexus S and I have to say that while I did it just to see it work, I didn't run it long as I missed the features that CM and other open-source projects such as Codename Android have to offer. But, to each their own. :)

Just my $.02.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
AOKP is about as close as you're going to get. Try it, you wont regret it. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] XXtremeAzzKicker:
Agreed......by far the best ICS Rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] datrumole:
Sorry if this post came off as if I was some form of elitiest, I was merely suggesting that if we had a nice bare bones build people can thank tweak as they saw fit, I do not claim to be an Android developer and if I could I would love to build what I'm requesting, unfortunately I do not posses those skills ,hence attempting to lure in unsuspecting developers with donations :p as I do respect and understand the amount of developers that do this in their spare time while maintaining real life jobs. Secondly, my past experience with cm has been poor with the inspire, perhaps it was just not as highly regarded in the inspire space as it is elsewhere. Cm just didn't play that well with that device, perhaps I was too quick to judge having moved devices.

For those on akop, is it the stock launcher, email, and messaging apps? They don't have any screen shots? I'd like to get away from touchwiz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
AOKP is an aosp build, you will not see anything tw related in the rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
That's all right man.

AOKP uses the Vanilla ICS launcher, not touchwiz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I share this opinion. I can honestly say if I had to choose between my GS II and the Galaxy Nexus with a locked boot loader, and not rootable, I would take the GS II every time. I would not choose to run Stock ICS over CM9, AOKP, or like stated above, TouchWiz (on ICS).

As others said give AOKP a try. Its definitely daily driver stable and complete. It looks like stock ICS but adds so many features. Things like the power toggles in the notification shade, adding apps to the lock screen as shortcuts, the list is huge. I can't make a firm decision between SHOstock2 and AOKP. I spend a week on one, then swap, repeat. I think people give TW a hard time. Its not sense, its not in your face and leeching into every part of the phone. Its really subtle once you put on a different launcher, even the official att builds. When I run AOKP I miss the TW music player (with controls in the lock screen and notification shade), the video player, and the camera more than anything else. When I run TW builds I miss the people/phone app and calendar. Those are the differences to me between TW and AOSP, a vast majority of the ICS experience is the same in the two.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Everyone in here is telling you to go with AOKP. Its as "bare bones" as you can get with stock ICS. There is in TouchWiz whatsoever in AOKP. All the drivers are in there to make all the functions of your phone work. Go try it. Now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trell959:
I wish we had a pure AOSP rom also. I really dislike AOKP.

yup. try out aokp.

I don't know really. I just didn't like it. I may give it another go tonight

You can always try MysticPride. :rolleyes::D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trell959:
Not true. I am running CM9 at the moment, but its just something about AOKP, not to mention, I hate the word "kang". I'll try it again tonight
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
there is absolutely no touchwiz in AOKP bro. its built off of cm9 which is built of of aosp. so it is aosp but with a ton of customization that YOU choose. i think if you try it you won't want anything else. i built a pure aosp build and then i built aokp which helped me make the decision. aokp all the way dude. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
aokp is cm9. it just gives you options.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skippajack:
thanks task650

I run aokp on my galaxy nexus , nexus s , and now on a used sgs 11 I picked up. task650 I want to personaly thank you for a job fixing it up for the sgs 11 , it is sweet , rolling it with the syah kernel and it is off the hook.

To the original poster if you run aokp and leave all the custom setting alone and run the stock launcher then you will have a stock aosp feel.

Then if you wish you can customize it any way you like ,, try it you might like it ,, hahahaha

Thanks again task , awsome job

Sense 4 Evo 3D Boot Animation And Splash Screen [Black]

All the Previews are on 2nd Post

_________________________________________________

Boot Animation

This is The ONE Series Boot animation, but the logo ONE has been replaced with EVO

_________________________________________________

SPLASH Screen

I have also made Black HTC Splash Screen. It is basically the same as white one but it is black.

What is splash? It is the initial screen(just before the boot animation) when you boot the phone

.

[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
For those who want a preview:
[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
Anyway you could make it flashable?
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
Maybe. I'll look into it.
[HTC EVO 3D] songsovicius:
Use bootscoot to flash
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
Ok I´ve made the flashable version. I´ve putten it on the first post as attachment. Note that it might not work on all devices.
[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
You the man! I appreciate it :)
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
Thanks :D
[HTC EVO 3D] metaphysical_calamity:
Looks great man!

Glad that onex part is gone :thumbup:
[HTC EVO 3D] cc101:
Hmm will this replace the current white HTC logo?
[HTC EVO 3D] ZeRo2o9:
No That's the boot logo
[HTC EVO 3D] cc101:
Aww too bad, thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
tried flashing one through recovery and it didnt stick. evo without beats
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
As I said, the flashable version might not work always. It is because of the Rom configuration.
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
I have now added possibly fixed flashable versions. They might work better.
[HTC EVO 3D] nfin1te:
Thanks, would be even more awesome if the TM wouldn't be cut at the right side of the screen. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Deleted member 4303594:
Looks geat

I think it would be better if it just says evo without 3d, because on original its just one on all 3 phones (one x, one s, one v), or i think it is, i dont know
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
I have now added v1.5 wich has just evo and more effects.

Also removed possibly fixed versions because they werent fixed.
[HTC EVO 3D] MeatyCoins:
I tired 1.5 and renamed the zip to Sprint_bootanimation.zip and it black screened
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Same here, black screen

[HTC EVO 3D] nfin1te:
Confirmed, 1.5 results in black screen, boots fine though.
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
Ok I will look into it. Probably I forgot to change compression format from normal to store.
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
I have now fixed the problem, try again now. (It was the compression method fail :D)
[HTC EVO 3D] nfin1te:
Thanks, looking forward to it as it seems even sexier :)
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
:D , btw the next one will be with better effects, since Right now the 1.5 has a bit weird(ish) effects. Also in the more futher future I might do the white boot animation too. (if htc wont release the ics with the white boot animation first)
[HTC EVO 3D] nfin1te:
Confirmed working now :)

Nice!
[HTC EVO 3D] :
have do I get the V1.5 to work?
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
Wut? :D I didnt get a thing what you said. If you wanted to know if the v1.5 works, then yes, it works!
[HTC EVO 3D] :
OOPS I meant how to we get V1.5 to work? I flash in recovery but just aboard the install
[HTC EVO 3D] husker91:
That's what mine says too, install aborted
[HTC EVO 3D] ______:
Looks cool, white version too maybe? :D
[HTC EVO 3D] newroid:

only for gsm
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
I´l do it somewhere in the future. Unless htc does it first :D
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
You have to copy NOT flash it, because I haven´t had the time to make it flashable...yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] RobbyTouchHD:
I love your boot animation. Van you also make one that says "HTC ONE 3d"? That would be really cool ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] ace_k786:
Does this matter if its gsm or cdma?
[HTC EVO 3D] kalicci:
I love everything related to 3D, I'll give it a try.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
Maybe in the future :D currently i havent had any time to work on the boot animation.
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
It doesnt. As long as you replace the boot animation, with the correct name.
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
Ok I have made the final version. The nonbeats and flashable versions will come soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
Look For the Splash Section in the first post.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Maybe im blind. Idk.

But awhile back i downloaded the one that had EVO 3D.

But now i only see the one with only 'EVO"
[HTC EVO 3D] FuXiN:
To be very nice. I liked.. Thank you .. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] BorussenTobi:
Great service. Thx

[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
Since the one series had only the logo ONE, i decided to remove the 3D part to make it look more ONE-ish logo.(And,well without the 3D part i had less work to do :D)
[HTC EVO 3D] hitmanhunt:
Great, works on gsm EVO 3D with virtous sense 3.6 rom, big thanks for you!
[HTC EVO 3D] obeymydog:
Great work! This is motivating me to get beats working again on ICS...
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Bassini has a beats mod for gsm and cdma that works flawlessly
[HTC EVO 3D] VictoriousShooter:
Just as a question, I flashed the splashscreen and I see that the area under the "HTC" symbol is brighter than the rest of the screen.

Is it supposed to be like that?
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
Try downloading the file again. I uploaded an faulty image, but now its fixed.

i like these sequention, make it running in a loop until the phone boots up please :o
[HTC EVO 3D] samuel0213:
Perfect! I appreciate!!

Just a little suggestion , maybe the "evo" can make it be capital letters "EVO", and hope there will be white version with/without beats soon :)
[HTC EVO 3D] 1ackass:
I will do soon :p

Well i wanted to make the evo part look as much like as the one part so with small letters :p

And il do a bit better bootanimation and the white version in a week since il go to my countryside soon

Hi guys this is reboot option menu for X8 stock rom 2.1.

I attach with zip files to flash it through Xrecovery or manually copy the files with root explorer and give permission 644.

if like this press thanks button :D :D :D
[XPERIA X8 General] crazyforandroid:
To tell the truth, I don't people with stock 2.1 rom need this as they can just click the back button and the power button to enter recovery when their phone turns on.

I did not try it yet, but good idea :) BTW, you did not attach it!!!!!!

Please click the "thanks" if I helped! :D

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] moe6:
My milestone has led a pampered and then rough life of music gigs and festivals back and forth and decided to give up it's ghost (or give me ghost-touches if you will) due to a failing digitizer after a Dillinger Escape Plan gig (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyzQgysUOdU I'm right in the center of the mosh pit hehe).

I've since decided that I'd save a little more money and get a Galaxy Nexus, even if I'd very much prefer a Droid4 if only to have a proper QWERTY slider phone. They don't sell them here :(.

Anyway, being that I've had to continue using my POS (can you tell I'm pissed) phone, I decided to look for a way to disable the touch screen and see how feasible it is to control with only the keypad and a few touches.

Which led me to these 2 apps

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.argotronic.touchblocker

Screen Lock / disable touch Argotronic

I've had it set up so that I can "lock" the touchscreen via shaking the device, and unlocking the screen in the same way. Despite disabling the touchscreen, the notification pulldown still remains active, so you can still pull it down and quickly tap yourself to whatever via the Dpad if necessary.

Now, of course, what use is all this if you can't swipe to unlock your ****?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jiubang.goscreenlock

Go Locker

This, apart from still bringing up the stock lockscreen whenever you restart your phone (this goes away after 1-2 unlocks), solves that problem by allowing you to unlock your phone via long pressing the volume rocker.

I've found that it is entirely feasible to run the phone this way.

Apart from that, I bid this community a farewell as what little regular posting I used to do has already dropped tremendously the last few weeks, and much thanks to everyone who has helped me and the developers. <3 Kabaldan, get a galaxy nexus please! though I'd suppose your talents would be better suited to another poor locked up phone.

This community helped me get quickly familiar with Android, and in particular with a "difficult" phone, and I will never forget this. I'll probably get a new digitizer + keyboard and just put it on my desk as a... completely over powered clock. or something. Hey, when was the last time you said overpowered when talking about the Milestone? :D

Oh, and to solve the gig/festival problem so my Gnex doesn't meet a similar fate I'll be getting an Xperia Active as a secondary phone since that **** is hard as nails, waterproof, small (3") and reasonably priced.

EDIT: Reason I'm not just fixing up my Milestone to continue to use it is because I've always suspected that my mobile radio is a little faulty as I've always had trouble maintaining 3G+ connectivity/sync, I figure it'll just crap itself out eventually. It's also, and I'm sure most will agree, starting to become painfully slow hahah.
