[HTC Incredible S] bhaumik555:
@tpbklake any chances for Volume wake option? I desperately want to flash this rom but only one problem is that my power button is hard to press. Thanks for the rom though.
[HTC Incredible S] interaser:
re'installed superuser and installed latest BusyBox everything is working normal.

p.s. since I have my incredible S (14 months) I never had such good experience with battery.

yesterday

I charged the battery to 100% left the phone to charge

> restarted in recovery > made a full wipe > installed the provided rom from recovery > wiped battery stats >

unplugged from charger

> restarted the phone < since yesterday I'am using my phone without charging with WiFi always On, auto-brightness on auto, installed my 25 apps and

I still have 35 %

this is something totally awesome!

thank you again for the rom and football for the base. good luck.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
This ROM is what the stock HTC ICS Sense 3.6 RUU offers and I will not be taking tweak requests.

I created it simply for users that have S-OFF to experience the HTC stock ROM without installing it from the RUU and losing S-OFF.

You are free to take this ROM and modify it however you see fit.
[HTC Incredible S] ragz:
Yes that did it redownloaded busybox installer from market an 4ext is now working.Thanks alot interaser!
[HTC Incredible S] bhaumik555:

Yes I noticed that, too. It seems like I'll have to make BlackRose 2.02/HBOOT 2.02 a requirement to use the new /lib partition. Thanks for the feedback.

As I posted earlier, please feel free to take this ROM and mod it however you see fit.

This is the stock HTC ICS ROM and it will stay that way, but you may use it however you like.

[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Its the closest you can get to senseless at the moment, because most of HTC's things are dependent on each other

Removing some parts of sense will bring crashes eveerywhere

The 'senseless' roms for other devices just have these parts of sense themed to look like AOSP, they are not able to be removed

If you don't want sense you are better off using an AOSP rom

i cant install busybox and it says that there is 0 free space in system storage
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Thank you for the feedback. This issue was found yesterday and reported. I have solved the issue and I am currently uploading a new version.

The new version will required that you upgrade Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13 to BlackRose 2.02.0002 to support the /lib partition and prevent the /system partition from running out of room.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
So this could be the reasoning behind HTC moving the partitions?
[HTC Incredible S] pks4510:
Sir, How to upgrade Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13 to BlackRose 2.02.0002 .Thamks
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes that would be my guess. The /lib partition was actually introduced with HBOOT 2.00.0000 which was launched with the Sense 3.0 ROM last December, so they were already anticipating storage issues even with Android 2.3.5.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Check out the BlackRose thread in the Development section.

I will update the original post with links and information when the new version is finished uploading.
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
If you guys have problem installing blackrose, you can always try to do another method (thanks to Nonverbose) here post #13: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26909973&postcount=13

Works flawless for me.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Thanks for the tip!!!!

I have updated the OP with the new version information. This version will require BlackRose 2.02.0002 if you want to keep hboot S-OFF.

It should also work with any HTC HBOOT 2.00 and above that has been unlocked.
[HTC Incredible S] Bagbug:
:(

I lost root access after installing this ROM, anyone else ???
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Which version did you download and which HBOOT are you using?

I just updated the ROM on July 8, 2012 at 10:15am CDT to correct the issues with root and busybox.

Check the OP for updated information.
[HTC Incredible S] amitizle:
What are exactly the issues with the older HBOOT?

I'm using the ROM with 1.13 (Revolutionary) and there are no problems whatsoever.

I'm not using any sdcard mods.
[HTC Incredible S] interaser:
I am using hboot 1.09.00 and everything is ok (installed busybox and superuser).

should i re'install it again? :) everything is smooth and nice. I do not understand why over have problems and was necessary to update the rom.
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
It's just a few people here are having issues with superuser and busybox after flashing the first build.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
With the /system partition running out of room, it is possible that some files did not get installed correctly, so even though some users haven't had any issues with the apps they use or their usage pattern, they may run into issues later trying to install new apps or even running some of the applications that show as being installed.

IMO it is in the best interest for the IncS community to address and correct the issues that have been reported with root, SuperUser and Busybox and those corrections required a newer HBOOT that supports the /lib partition.
[HTC Incredible S] regoooolar:
I have battery status issue:

Need someone will to test a fix...

I'm am looking for someone to help me test a recovery zip file that should fix and address the issue with hanging on BlackRose 2.02 or HTC HBOOT 2.00 and above.

You would need to install the zip file to your sd card and then install it in recovey mode. This will format the /lib partition.

Then you would need to reinstall the vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip in recovery mode.

If anyone is will to help me test this please PM me.

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Suugestion added to the opening post for hang on initial boot

The following suggestion has been added to the opening post for addressing the splash screen hang on initial boot of the ROM until I can get Version 1.2 uploaded.

1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH

2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.

3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:

fastboot flash lib lib.img

4. Download the file format_lib_update.zip from here: http://bit.ly/RIpEUL

5. Copy it to your SD card.

6. Boot into recovery and then install format_lib_update.zip

7. While in recovery format the SYSTEM partition.

8. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
[HTC Incredible S] interaser:
for version 1.2 that will be uploaded in the near future what version of hboot do we need? thank you.

p.s. I still do not have any problems with first version everything is working flawlessly. (i just miss volume wake up)
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Version 1.2 will still need BlackRose 2.02.0002.

hi ,

[HTC Incredible S] jeremyboo:
this rom have camera panorama mode?
[HTC Incredible S] irfan88:
Well, lucky me, I was able to follow your steps and boot into ICS> Yaayyyy.

Hey one more thing, if you are about to release the v2 of this ROM, will there be any changes. I mean as ICS is working for some of us, do we still need to flash it with v2 of this ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] ayieo7:
Using this as my daily driver....very nice...but having problem with multitouch when playing games...
[HTC Incredible S] mohitgalaxy3:
Hi Guys,

This ROM has face unlock feature or not??? and as this is stock ROM I expect that all feature are working as well.

One more thing before flashing...Do I need to check that CID or something, I am from India.??
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Nup, I installed it fine on my Australia Optus phone

But, you need blackrose hboot for this rom to work properly, as of v1.1
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
I have the latest BlackRose, but got stuck on the white HTC screen.
[HTC Incredible S] elthrawno:
Everything working well for me so far (even HTC Hub) except Face Unlock. Anyone know why this it can’t start or a fix? I got stuck on the white splash screen initially after flashing the ROM. I then went back to recovery and cleared Cache and Dalvik cache…. Wiped my device memory but it worked after that!
[HTC Incredible S] h.han:
Yes, I have the same problem...

I have BlackRose hboot latest installed, and following is what I had done:

1) installed BlackRose, checked hboot version everything looked correctly.

2) did not realise HTC splash screen hanging issue in the beginning so factory reset, formatted cache, dalvik and system, then installed vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip from recovery.

3) while installation of vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip was finished, I did not see anything else apart from recovery said, (roughly) starting unpacking, installing, then finished. no progress bar or process indication, just about 3 lines on the screen.

4) then had HTC splash screen hanging, noticed the section: "Here are some steps you can try if the ROM hangs on the HTC splash screen" on the first post.

5) downloaded lib.zip, unzip to lib.img, put it the same folder as my fastboot, downloaded format_lib_update.zip, put it on SD card.

6) after pulled the battery, went into fastboot, and did "fastboot flash lib lib.img" successfully.

7) then went into recovery, flashed format_lib_update.zip

8) then formatted system

9) then reflashed vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip

10) reboot but still hanging at HTC white splash screen.

Did I do anything wrong? wrong order? Any suggesting is welcomed!!

PS: whenever MD5 is available, I check it against what I had downloaded so no file corruption.
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
Finally success.

This is what I did:

1. Factory reset

2. Wipe cache

3. Wipe dalvik

4. Install ROM

5. Tried to start ROM, failed

6. Back to recovery, wiped cache

7. Tried to start ROM, failed

8. Back to recovery, wiped dalvik

9. Tried to start ROM

10. Success

E: Hmm. Unfortunately I got another error while android was initializing. Process system is not responding. Would you like to close it? And options Wait and OK which aren´t responsive. So still nowhere.
[HTC Incredible S] h.han:
Followed your steps completely but could not even reach No.10, not to mention the Process system error you had...

did again following the first post, no luck...
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
It is one of the tools that you get with the Android SDK. It should be in the same directory as adb.exe.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
If you got v1.1 to boot and run, then no, there will be no difference in what is installed and flashed with v1.2. The only planned changes will be to incorporate the format_lib_update.zip into the ROM install.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes, I checked out the face unlock feature last night and it is working in this ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Which version did you install and which HBOOT are you using?
[HTC Incredible S] amitizle:
Any thought on why for some people it's booting and for some others no?

Maybe other non OTA roms are using the format lib script, and the guys who came from another ICS rom using Blackrose are succeeding in booting the OTA one?

I've tried to install this OTA right after upgrading to Blackrose - there were some warnings about not being able to mount sdcard and system, then i wiped it all and reflashed the OTA rom.

(hoping it'll be helpful in some way...)
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Still trying to collect data and configuration information from users, but one common thread from those that have given me their information is that they are using 4EXT recovery, but I am not yet confident that this is the issue.

[HTC Incredible S] erictu:
It worked, now boot successful, thanks soooooooooo much :laugh:​
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Thanks. Would you mind telling me which HBOOT version and recovery you are using?

My experience was as follows:

Installed backup of Vivo v1 rom. Tried to install over this as an update with this rom. Installation went fine but it installed as a new rom and not an update. Using blackrose 2.02 and 4EXT touch recovery (latest). System rom available is less than 6 MB but everything is working properly.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Thanks for the info. I noticed in the 4EXT touch recovery thread that madmaxx82 was looking for IncS testers this weekend for the system/lib support, so maybe there will be a new version coming out that might help.

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
One way to tell if the ROM is running correctly and won't have issues is to download and install Titanium Backup Root from the Android Market and then run it.

SuperUser should pop up to confirm whether you want to allow TB root access. Select Allow.

If Titanium Backup complains about BusyBox then you may have issues. On the TB screen check and see how much space is left on the /SYSTEM partition. If it says 0 then you are not really running v1.1.
[HTC Incredible S] ayieo7:
thanks for the feedback..ok now i see... i check on the /SYSTEM partition and it says 0..so im not running v1.1 right? maybe i need to try more...thanks anyway for the quick feedback...
[HTC Incredible S] suliman lbabidi:
it is in attachment.

i tried flashing boot.img manaully and still not booting
[HTC Incredible S] wl08:
Volume rocker wake up

I made a volume rocker wake up patch for this ROM.

mount root as rewritable.

copy the jar file to same folder of ADB and run this command:

adb push android.policy.jar /system/framework/android.policy.jar

Then reboot the phone. Done!

BTW, this ROM is amazing. It's my daily driver now. Thank tpbklake, you are the best.:good:
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Would you be willing to try out this revised procedure for me and post the results?

Here are some steps you can try if the ROM hangs on the HTC splash screen

1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH

2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.

3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:

fastboot flash lib lib.img

4. Boot into recovery and format the SYSTEM partiton.

5. Wipe Data/System Reset.

6. Wipe Dalvik Cache.

7. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
[HTC Incredible S] John Anderton:
Face unlock doesn't work for me. First boot (as expected) took forever. Everything else looks good for now :)
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
What happens when you try to use face unlock? Does the app launch at all?
[HTC Incredible S] 00hero00:
If we ever get an OTA again, will i be able to install it from that rom?

Because I want to sell it now and they should be able to use it completely normal
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Not if you leave the BlackRose S-OFF HBOOT on it. The OTA will fail for the same reason a RUU fails. The BlackRose HBOOT prevents itself from being overwritten.
[HTC Incredible S] 00hero00:
Okay, so what do I have todo to be able to install updates OTA again?

I don't mind if i loose root
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Search the BlackRose 2.02.0002 Thread. The BlackRose installer has an option to uninstall and that will return you to S-ON with HTC HBOOT 1.13. From there you should be able to flash an official HTC RUU.
[HTC Incredible S] John Anderton:
The face unlock starts, it tells me to hold the phone at eye level at a decently lit up room. I click next and it says that Face Unlock was unable to start :(
[HTC Incredible S] 00hero00:
Okay so If i downgrade to S-ON, will I be able to boot into this rom without any problems?

And will I be able to install future OTA updates with that rom without flashing it via RUU before?

Thank you!
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
This ROM is built using the official RUU, but it is not what you should install if you want to sell the phone and ensure the future owner can reeceive updates.

You need to use the actual RUU.
[HTC Incredible S] irfan88:
Hey @tpbklake. Why is this ROM slow at times. I mean it is not as fast compared to Gingerbread 2.3.3. It sometimes feels sluggish. Any advise from you to make it a little faster mate would be greatfull.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
I would have to agree with you. GB 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1 on the IncS was pretty snappy for me, too.

As to why it is slow, new features, new interface on 18 month old hardware would be my guess. I would suggest you go try mike1986's ARHD that is based on this RUU. mike1986 has a great history of tweaking Sense ROMs to run as well as they can.

Once HTC releasses the kernel source, there will be tweaked kernels that should help.
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
If it were really fast, you wouldn't be able to appreciate all the transitions. :rolleyes:
[HTC Incredible S] irfan88:
Is there any Sense 4 custom Rom which is stable and snappy as well. I would like to try it but it should atleast have Sense 3.6 or 4.0. Any suggestions mate?
