Guys Primo-S 4 is online now!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
4.0 is up :) Time to start the Sense 4A awesomeness
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Here you go

Reaper @1024MHz

Antutu: 2531, 2644 = 2587.5

Nenamark 1: 40.7, 40.6 = 40.65

Nenamark 2: 11.6, 11.8 = 11.7

Want Endy's scores...?

Guess Reaper would be faster than Endy!!!

I've got no exams tomorrow so I think I'm gonna end up doing all my physics revision then... :p Not really gonna bother revising for english language as you can't really revise for it and I'm pretty good with timing. And I do classics as well! Do you do ocr? I probs need to do a bit of revision for that as well but going by the previous 2 exams it won't be too hard :)

Also on tuesday I'm in quarantine for most of the day as gcse english lang and AS computing clash so I'm doing the computing in the afternoon... but at least it gives me a good few hours to revise :p
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Lol, not really, this (nenamark2 to be precise) tells how big an improvemeny HW acceleration is.

@oly - yeah, he's still editing i guess. I just saw that there are over a 100 posts in that thread in 24 hours. This is a very popular ROM :)

Guys do you realize what has happened this week? Our community (even if take no important part) has developed sense and android for our device further than htc probably ever will.

We all have beaten a multi national million dollar company.

Thanks very much for that experience, all of you!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
On that topic, Sense 4A is so much better for our deice than 3.6. It's just so awesome, and i agree with oly, fell in love with my device again :)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
I absolutely agree and really feel the same
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Glad you guys can share the experience with me :D

I think all of us have migrated over? :D

Shrome, you are the man with this stuff, has this kernel improved gaming on ICS?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
And just when I'd finally got used to being without Sense and happily using AOKP!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Oh yeah, it's as good as official ICS, maybe even better. I tried primadonna a few days ago, app performance (for both browsing and games) was horrible as compared to AOKP. Kernel 3 makes quiet a lot of difference. I have a feeling this is gonna be on my phone for a long time :D

Another awesome thing is the keyboard. Sense keyboard has always been great, but i feel this time HTC outdid themselves. Found some HTC Hub skins here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1634684

Eh so should we not download his roms?
[HTC Desire S] Duke_Nuke:
Personally I think it's fine to download his roms, he does appear to be working very hard and I believe his intentions are good. Other people have flashed his rom and I don't think they've had any issues with it. He can just be a bit... brash. But of course just make up your own mind on whether you will trust him or not as you would with anyone :D
[HTC Desire S] endymioned:
Hi guys,

Having reaped the benefits of the dev community on xda for months without registering, I decided I should finally do so and this seems like the thread to introduce myself - I'm 27, have been going back and forth between working and gaining qualifications for the past 9 years, mainly care work and degrees in art and philosophy.

Got my DS (first android phone) around 6 months ago and started using custom roms pretty much immediately. After a while I settled on Endymion - in my opinion lowveld is the dev on here with the greatest attention to detail when it comes to the end product/user experience.

I know on the first page of this thread, oly suggested that any questions are best posted here to avoid starting new threads, but as I am getting lost in exam and sports-related posts (which are no bad thing!) looking for opinions on the new roms that have been released over the past week, I started a thread asking for any input fellow users might have. I won't link to it here, as that's a bit cheeky, but I wanted to explain why so that the thread doesn't get littered with complaints and can be a good place to go for people looking for the same kind of info as I am.

Finally, thanks to all here who make xda such a pleasant place to explore, it's a great community you've built and I quickly stopped using other forums to search for knowledge and roms when I found this place. So thanks to you all :D
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
No problem man, thanks for the introduction! Nice attitude you have!

I can see where your username comes from ;)

I think lowveld already mentioned it too!

Anyone about to try the new SenseONE?

EDIT: Just tried to flash it; the first two reboots it hangs on the htc screen for a few seconds before entering recovery again, third try and am stuck on htc screen - about to go back to Primo, just a word of warning as I don't think the current 2.0.3 will work (I checked the md5 and it's correct and similar issues are now popping up on the SenseONE thread)

Hey, guys! Have any of you flashed the 7.00.1002 hboot yet? I want to flash it, but I'm a little sceptical about whether I should flash it over the 0.98 hboot, or should I rather flash the 2.0.0.2002 hboot? Apparently, the 2.x.x hboot in the index is the eng hboot, if I read correctly?
[HTC Desire S] jacmeister:
Must admit I have only just properly joined and got myself a DS to root and flash roms on and I have been pleasantly surprised how nice everyone has been here in this forum.

Screen Protector Dilemma

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! I'm literally ROFL. That was timed perfectly!!

Anyhow, there's something i've been meaning to ask you chaps. I'm really itching to take off the scree protector on my phone. I couldn't find an oleophobic one for the DS and the few i've tried get all smudgy (tropical here, y'know!)

I also feel that it impedes smooth finger slide and slightly decreases screen sensitivity while rapid multitouch typing. What do you say?

1. How many of you use a screen protector

2. Is a screen protector really required on top of gorilla glass?

3. Do you think the touch experience is more satisfying without a cover? (No, that's not what she said!!:p)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I use a screen protector, gorilla glass prevents cracks and breaking of the screen. While it does protect scratches in most cases, it fails against a grain of sand :p There's a small scratch on my screen. Also, now that i have a screen protector, i don't have to worry about screwing the screen up, something one of my friends learned the hard way :p

I do think that the touch experience is better without a protector, but the difference is not too much. You can only feel it when playing games like fruit ninja that require excessive swiping. Also, phone sometimes feels weird directly after I pull it out of the pocket.

My question is - does anyone use a cover/bumper? Also, what is the condition of your Desire S?

PS - Just realized, today is the day when I bought my Desire S last year :D:D:D I'm surprised that it's in such good condition, the body has no issues whatsoever, aside from a small white dot on the chin. That also means my warranty's gone :p
[HTC Desire S] pughie:
Have never used a screen cover and have one minor scratch on the screen seems to have lasted well compared to my iPhone and old nokias, around the edge of the phone above the ffc I have a small scratch that has gone through the paint although its minor and doesn't really bother me that much. Always felt the phone looked to bulky in a case so never really went down that route.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I always felt like that too with my other old phones. Over time, the screen got mucky. So for my Desire, I devded to treat myself and buy the expensive but worth it invisible shield. Till today, the screen condition is as good as new. No scratches/dirt etc. Smooth texture
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
hehehehehe :D

A

1) Don't use screen cover myself, as feel that they interfere slightly with touch

2) Yes it is required, as Shrome has already said, something as tiny as a grain of sand can and will scratch the glass, mine bears the signs of a couple of minor screen scratches, although they're only visible in direct sunlight

Don't use a case/cover myslef, would like to think that I look after my device well, never put it in my pocket with door keys or coins etc. Although my device shows the scars of alcoholic abuse, as I unfortunately dropped it once when under the influence, and managed to scratch the paint off the top and bottom edges, fortunately the device is designed so that if its face down on the ground the glass doesn't get scratched.

A case certainly helps though, as my wifes DS (which is kept in a leather case) look virgin new and puts mine to shame!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
My DS is still in mint condition. It gets its own exclusive pocket, with no coins, keys etc molesting it. Also, i always put it down on a soft surface - handkerchief, mat, rubber pad (or a pack of surgical gloves in the hospital!! lol) so no issues there. But the screen protector kinda irritates me sometimes with its smudges and the relatively high resistance to swipe as compared to the naked glass.

You say you managed to scratch your gorilla glass? How?

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

Ok, I guess i'll keep it on then.... was really itching to take it off today for lack of anything else to do.

BTW, have y'all seen this> Seems there is a new way of S-Offing HTC phones even with the new hboot without making a deal with the HTCDevil site :

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/unlock-virtually-any-htc-bootloader-without-voiding-warranty/

It says:
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I take great care of my phone and iPod touch, but while my phone looks brand new (aside from a few screen scratches it got before i put the protector), the screen on my iPod got a small crack on the bottom left corner recently when it fell on concrete floor. Although my phone has fallen too, the aluminium body is enough protection, and luckily there's no damage whatsoever. Besides, the desire s is pretty thick and quiet heavy (when compared to the recent trend of sleeker phones) and a cover would only add to the bulk. The iPod on the other hand is razor thin and almost unusable without a cover. Even with the cover, it's noticeably thinner that the desire s :p
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
@enigmaamit - If this works as it says, then ALL present and future devices have been unlocked :D No need to flash boot.img, and you can flash Radios/Hboots. I highly doubt HTC would change their inlock method, so this is pretty big news. That is, if it works universally.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Exactly! If this materializes, this guy (Simon) will have started a revolution with this thing, just like Revolutionary did last year!

Add to that what madmaxx82 is trying to do - getting the Recovery to flash boot.img withouf fastboot. (still voids the warranty though - going thru HTCDev)

I hope Simon gets it working. I really do, just HATE that HTCDev Unlock... had do do one on my lil sister's phone a couple of days ago, and hated ticking off those warranty void disclaimers - makes you feel like a criminal, for unlocking a device you paid for in full.

Suck on that, HTC!!:p
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
No idea how I scratched the screen, could have been when I dropped it, not sure, very small scratches though. Will also be watching for updates on how universal the unlock method is....

I thought that we recently found out that HTC offer a 2 year warranty?
[HTC Desire S] goatimus:
Some how missed this thread last few days. I'm Andrew a 30 year old mechanical engineer with a complete addiction to technology. The DS is my first smart phone although I've had two as I bricked my first one within weeks of getting it through over enthusiasm and not reading through topics properly. Don't do sport watching or playing I'm more of a geek and I'm currently working though hnc in mechanical engineering (I hate calculus).

Hands down best console is ps3, even if not playing games its a great media device. Playing skyrim at moment absolutely epic game.
