Everything working!

Flashed this yesterday.

I am very happy with it except for the homescreen lag. This is v1.0.0 people tweaks and optimisations will come in the near future so don't complain about it. Also I do believe that since kernel 3.0 is out we will begin to see some sense 4 roms as well.

Back to my experience using the rom since yesterday:

- flashed firmware then ROM (because BlindICE would not boot) DO A BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING

- first boot took aprox. 7 minutes.

- after initial setup wizard i noticed improved 3g signal (I had bad 3g reception with other ICS roms)

- everything works out of the box.

- no FC's

- wifi, bluetooth, 3G/H, wifi hotspot, camera, usb tethering, etc all working just fine for me.

The only thing i miss from other roms is the volume wake function. (faulty power button, does not work everytime)

Thank you m-deejay! Keep up the good work!
[HTC Desire S] pandollar:
Ok after testing over night I had very little battery drain. Face unlock works really well and I don't know why but the camera seems a little crisper.

Everything else seems to working fine, Really like this Rom apart from can't change font size like you can in ics roms.
[HTC Desire S] banny7000:
Anyone having graphical glitches in 720p video recording?
[HTC Desire S] mizerok:
Yep, heavy lag after screen unlock. When comes new version with many optimisations like in other sense 3.6 roms ?:)
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
Will this Rom have sweep2wake?
[HTC Desire S] banny7000:
Could someone confirm hd video recording,coz I'm getting a flashing blueish light,only on 720p though everything else is fine
[HTC Desire S] ffodi:
HD video recording working fine here. :)
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
Laggy....i'll keep it until a sense 4 rom with a working camera comes out :D.

Everything seems to work.... Just that it's too laggy.

Thanks for the rom. The fact that it's official and has kernel 3 means primadonna will get an update soon :)
[HTC Desire S] pandollar:
No problem with it here
[HTC Desire S] kapybarus:
I have problem with photos taken by stock camera. They are around 600kB and not very good. On sense 3.5 it was always over 1 MB and sharper.
[HTC Desire S] baji240588:
Thanks 4 the great Rom,

Btw sorry for the stupid question. Where n how to change preferred carrier (2g only, 3g or 2g, 3g only)

Thanks n sorry for bad English
[HTC Desire S] marioemp2k7:
Settings--> touch on Mobile network --> Network mode
[HTC Desire S] theguitarman94:
I have a lot of hope for this Rom! The sense 3 leak was very laggy and even the first couple of official updates were laggy until it got nice and smooth. Ics seems so much smoother than gb anyway :)
[HTC Desire S] carl181:
Hi,

First at all : thank you for the first Sense 3.6 rom with a working camera :)

I try to setup a work email account with a company certificate (already installed via Security settings). I go to the email settings then I select the activesync account as usual but there isn't any menu in the email to select the certificate, any idea?
[HTC Desire S] uqadwe:
The new radio is the best upgrade for me, at my work place i had very poor reception and a lot of "missed" calls.

Not the case anymore.
[HTC Desire S] banny7000:
A wipe fixed it,thanks for your reply
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Has anyone tried the new radio with an old ROM?

Swyped from my DesireS
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
can anyone confirm that there is no panorama mode?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
There's no panorama mode. But I think you can find some alternative cam apps on market (like Videocam Illusion) that has that. Also tested video recording in 720 HD and works OK (someone complained about it)
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
I know there are apps in the market that can do that but the panorama mode in sense 3.0 was AWESOME!!! Is there any possibility of getting it in future releases?
[HTC Desire S] nikolape:
Question

Do I need to flash these radio files, is it necesseary? Im using Blindice V6.0 ICS 4.0.4 CM9 ROM now.

Solved my 720p recording issue with a wipe
[HTC Desire S] caki25:
Love this one... :) though, have one issue, using poweramp for music, but the sound is a little "hollow" compared to the default music player. Not sure why is that. Using semi-pro studio headphones and the difference is really annoying. So far i will stick to the old player, with the hope that it gets fixed along the way .. anyway, it's not a showstopper for this awesome ROM.

Thank you so much for it :)
[HTC Desire S] DeanBoro:
to slow for my liking :/ took me 5 minuets to type in a 11 digit number today! -.-
[HTC Desire S] mizerok:
Yes, it's laggy. Just wait for next release with optimisations or more.As i know only virtuous has this RUU leak
[HTC Desire S] Grizzly6117:
ok

its an amazing ROM, installed with no problems at all and i used ultrasmoothrosie mod on this work well.

Device is S-on and Hboot 2.00.0002

and 4EXT touch. installed with flashing the radio seeming i cant. works and no problems.

however i cant help but feel empty with this ROM. Its not the Developers Fault but i think ICS on its own is better without the sense. or Sense 3.6. seeming its pretty much the same as 3.5 and sorta 3.0. i think my thirst for features is looking for sense 4.0. cant wait for a working Sense 4.0 ROM

Note. most Devonluck with s-on know this but incase you dont remember to flash the boot.img in fastboot after you have installed the ROM. dont boot until then
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
I do have the HD video recording problem myself. Will try to wipe which I can do this evening. Would you recommend a full whipe or Cache/Dalvik only? Right now I need the phone for calls so I cannot try.

Also I recognized the usual mic problem. In calls everything seems OK but when recording videos everything is much to loud.

Thus far a great rom. Thanks a lot for this.
[HTC Desire S] FrEaK_101:
Nope it wrong I have. Now got my hands on this RUU.I'm currently working to get this working flawlessly. Will be all optimizations to make this Ron stable and fast. And it will be very nice

Guys, why htc can make a kernel 3 for our devices but can't make a good rom? When i get stock sense 3 it was veeery laggy, official ruu of ics is also laggy. Strange... but i'm happy, that our developers can make so perfect roms

[HTC Desire S] banny7000:
i will tell you what did it for me,i installed the rom first without the new radio everything was fine apart from the hd problem,so this morning i installed the new radio and that did the wipe data/factory reset for me and hd was fixed. so im not sure what did the trick im assuming it was the wipe?

Non have problems with new radio? Tested it today, found out bad voice transfer both ways.Will try to flash it again, but u don't think it'll help.

Using ENG Hboot 2.00.2002.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Don't know about official RUU (should be between June-July), but knowing HTC, i guess at least a month and a billion tweets before Kernel source is out.
[HTC Desire S] FrEaK_101:
im already working on it. i got the RUU got everything i need to make a new ICS rom. how do u think its NOT possible. if thats the case and its NOT possible how have u got it ??? trust me why would i say i got it when i havnt. im releasing my rom later today. ill link my rom on here when i have opend new thread. then you will see :P

[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
its all good just installed new radio then the rom and all working fine so far. but in settings it shows android version as protected ?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Listen, I'm not trying to shoot down your good work or intentions... I'm just skeptical that a user who registered just a couple of days ago, with not even a dormant account on XDA for so long has got his hands on an RUU that seems to have eluded all internet leaks except the one that Football got and gave exclusively to Team Virtuous (We all know football is solid, and almost always the single leak pint for all official RUUs). If you've had a Desire S for so long, and are competent enough to cook up a ROM from an RUU, it is mighty suspicious why you haven't been a part of XDA for so long... on any device. So either you were here before and your account got shut down, and you've re-registered, or you're an exceptionally gifted prodigy, in which case, the skepticism is justified. I mean you'll be the only person in the whole wide world besides Football and Team Virtuous to be in possession of the said RUU if this is true. While it is possible, when you hear hoof-beats, you tend to think horses, not zebras... so it's a little hard to gulp down right now.

It's just human nature to doubt things that sound too good to be true - it's instinct. You would have thought the same thing had our positions be reversed. So if you have the RUU, it's a good thing for all of us... but only if you actually link it here and foster more development. That would be a good show of faith and gain you instant trust from the whole community, myself included.

It's going to be leaked to the general public sooner or later and you'll have lost your chance by then. Please do share it and clear the air if you are in fact in possession of the mystical Unicorn of ROMs. Cooking up a ROM is not proof enough as it can be done by taking apart the Virtuous Saga and tweaking it - it's called porting. The proof of the pudding is in the eating... the RUU in this case.

Cheers. :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Uhmm, I would like to add that anyone could make a ROM now, even I can do it. All one need to do is download this one, make minor changes to all the stuff, and you're done. Want to prove something? Provide the link to the actual RUU. Don't troll this thread, m-deejay did a great job on this.
[HTC Desire S] FrEaK_101:
as the OP has already stated. he has been asked NOT to let you guys have the RUU untill Football has released it. and infact its not the RUU i got its just as good tho. its the rom.zip from the RUU. which i am now using to create a nice rom for the pople who have asked me to develope for them a great rom :)

After radio update lost 3G connection on NRJ Mobile (SFR) France.I reverted to Endymion, same issue.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
If the Radio caused the problem, changing ROMs will not solve it. Have you tried editing the apn settings manually to match your provider's?
[HTC Desire S] lavier:
gyz gyz....... cool down

whats all the fuzz about...... what if he claims he has n RUU ..............

we will kno weather he hav it or not when he post the said rom.....

arguing doesnt solve the doubt ..... if he has a rom thats good for all of us..... other wise ....... well othewise nothing naaa.........
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir:
Since you're obviously either a troll that thinks that he's so smart or a noob the doesn't know the difference between between a ROM and a RUU: http://bit.ly/KBX01t
[HTC Desire S] hekermeker:
I have tried multiple apn settings, I have another desire, I tried there and the 3G works.Now I am reverting the radio to an earlier one. Let s see.:)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
If this does turn out to be the problem, this will be the first reported issue due to the firmware flash. Thank you for reporting. Anyone else having an issue like this?
[HTC Desire S] hekermeker:
The BIG problem is that I can not revert the radio... I just flashed an older one ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312144 ) but the radio remains the same.:mad:

What I am doing wrong?

I can confirm that the sim is working with 3G on an older HTC Desire and a Blackberry Curve 3G.
[HTC Desire S] Cole07:
Did you flashed radio via PG88IMG.zip? İf yes, can you try flash it via android flasher?

Maybe system thinks radio already updated to new version.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
1 QUESTION....

Why is it necessary to flash the firmware package?

what does it alter on the device?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Nope. You don't need to. :)

Worked flashing the ROM to me without the package
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
cheers. i know that is is not actually required but my question is what does it do and why is it recommended?

cheers:)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
From what I've heard, it improves battery life, and i flashed it without the smallest of errors, so i recommend it :)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I guess the new radio is incapable of being overwritten by an older one...?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@htc : Finally figured out why you're so silent.... Your head is stuck in your arse. Pull it out and release the Desire S ICS update!!
[HTC Desire S] hekermeker:
:D If the improvement of battery life means that you cannot use 3G, we are ... :D
[HTC Desire S] FrEaK_101:
you need to have eng s-off to be able to revert your radio. please flash the eng hboot then try again. i have eng hboot and i have reverted radio easily
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
I've flashed an older radio over the new one - I have exactly the same problem with no data reception, but I think mine may be a coincidental error though as O2 have a mast down.

Keep us updated hekermeker, I'd be interested to see if the Radio is the cause, and what can be done!
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
the fw package wiped my phone O.o

why android version says protected ...

all things seems so big than a sense 3.5 rom
[HTC Desire S] ammenRA:
did you use adb for downgrading? If not do so. Extract the zip as you need the radio file.img and do it using fastboot command.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Are you using 3G...or 2G? Both working fine?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
2G works like a charm, can't test 3G, don't have it :p
[HTC Desire S] FariG:
Just when the weather in Holland got so HOT and I was looking for something to cool me down i find out my DS has ICS isnt life great :D

No problems so far! Haven't tried everything yet but cam works so i have to say bye bye to Endymion :o

Thx for the dev but it's nothing then cm9 port.

Actually cm9 based are more stable.

Will wait for real source leak.

[HTC Desire S] zyotty:

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Hmm.. It seems that I have better USB performance (faster file transfers, ~4 MB/s) after Radio upgrade. Or is it just my USB port??
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
LoL... you upgraded your USB port too? :p
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
cm9 arent more stable :S as we dont have the kernel source, they crash when you run graphically intensive apps. this is the only STABLE ics rom out there it just has lag issues which are to be expected as it hasn't been released for everyone to use yet
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
LOL, i meant the one on my PC. Pretty unreliable, sometimes doesn't work at all ;) Gaming performance is just awesome, and Google Chrome works perfect too, zero webkit lag !!!
[HTC Desire S] Duke_Nuke:
How long is it meant to take for the phone to boot when you flash the firmware? My phone has been on the HTC screen for at least 5 mins
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
it can take anywhere between 5-20 mins. mine took just over 10
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Wait for it (at least 15 mins...)
[HTC Desire S] Mr. Death:
Can confirm, it took lot of time, I think about 10 minutes.

I've returned back to AOKP and new radio works fine. I have 3G/H reception by now.

[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
if you're stuck on the white htc screen after flashing the radio waiting is good obviously but like another user you could be waiting all day till your battery is dead, some people had the problem like me some didnt but leaving the pg88img for the radio on the SD caused the rom to not boot ( just stuck on htc logo) i also couldnt access anything other than bootloader not even recovery, i put my sd in the computer and deleted the pg88img from my sd card, put it back in my phone and the rom moved to the splash screen within seconds

How's everyone finding the ROM in general? Are you all using it as your daily driver yet?
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
When I had flashed the ROM yesterday night without flashing the firmware (radio, etc) i had serious lags.

i flashed the firmware and then the ROm today.

And it is faster

I think the firmware contains more than just the radio!!..

PS: Performance tests are to be updated with the latest test on stock ICS :D

Wow, i guess I will have to try that thanks for the tip man!
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
ive said in 2 posts in the thread.. if you still have the pg88img on your sd card it wont move from the htc screen.. someone posted the method to delete it with adb.. on one of the first few pages.. otherwise put your sd in an adaptor connect it to the computer then delete the firmware file you just flashed off the sd

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

i didnt even bother with the stock browser just jumped at the chance to use chrome again and i'm using it as a daily since the only problem is slight lag, battery's decent i guess, updates with tweaks to scripts would be lovely though :p
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
What I did - do a three button restart, remove battery before the phone turns on again, pop the sd card in the computer and delete the Radio .zip, put it back in the phone, turn it on, should be ok!
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
no,but before flash the rom i flashed the firmware package,then i wiped and flashed the rom

to reduce the first boot to 1min or less just open the rom and install the old virtuous script that all the virtuous rom use(like the setup folder,etc...)

then u can build it with the xda kitchen and zipalign it(99-enter-enter);)

None of that really meant anything to me sorry :P

Should I of fully wiped then installed the PG88IMG?

Also, adb detects my device so it safe to reboot into bootloader or 3 button restart then pull battery?
[HTC Desire S] outsidetown:
When you flash it it should, obviously, but if you delete it after flashing, which I think you've done, it's fine to delete it. Here's a thread I made with the same problem, hope it helps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1594808&highlight=think+i+m+bricked

Yeah but i flashed it via adb like so

If you've done it like that it just means you won't have to delete the radio now. If ADB is working then go into bootloader, recovery and wipe cache. This should solve your problem.

If not then try the three key method.

Flash RADIO/Firmware without data flush

Guys have updates the firmware and also my HBOOT this is the procedure I followed.. I have been running Virtuous Saga 1.0.0 from yesterday and i feel like not loosing my data and my hboot is also old so wanna update that also so this is what i have done

1. copy PG88IMG.zip to your SD Card \sdcard\* (dont place inside any folder)

2. Take a Nandroid Backup of your rom ( Virtuous Saga 1.0.0) via ext4 or cwm

3. reboot into bootloader (Not recovery) <power OFF Press the volume down button + power button to enter bootloader>

4. RADIO will automatically be detected and it will ask your permission whether it can proceed with flash

5. press UP button to accept and it will flash the RADIO , once done reboot normally

6. now you will be booted into your old OS from there delete PG88IMG.zip present in your SD card and reboot the device into recovery (if reboot to recovery is not available switch OFF the phone and enter bootloader from there you can move to RECOVERY)

7. Now restore the backup we have made.

That`s it we are done ... rather than setting again everything we have done i guess this is a simple stuff and BTW after upgrading radio the signal strength is more.
