Hi Ronald,

it is possible with a temporary root, that is not modifying your device. Look for a downgrade guide in the index.

You need zegrush exploit to gain temp root in order to change the main version (to "trick" the device that you are updating it while actually downgrading), then use the oldest RUU available for your brand/region. This process will leave no trace that the device was ever manipulated. Keep in mind that this process will also delete all your data and installed apps.

Good luck

[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Take ammibudha's advice. Your phone will be just like from the box, like 1 year or so ago, when you bought it. Don't be affraid, you still will be able to receive OTA.

Were the weather sounds only.introduced in 3.0?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
It was more than an year ago when I got the device (it was my first Android) but I remember that I was impressed by the weather animations and I think that the sound was present too. But I am not completely sure about this.

EDIT: check this :)
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Uhmm, i think they didn't.

If I remember correctly, i had to disable weather sounds in weather app with the very original ROM. It was like 1 year ago, when i bought my phone. Weather widget was making that funny weather soudns.

But im unsure about clock with weather.
[HTC Desire S] theguitarman94:
I found that sense 2.1 had smoother scrolling between home screens because it didn't have that stupid 3d carousel effect. I also found that the weather sounds were better quality than sense 3.0 ones. the update to 2.3.5 improved the smoothness and scrolling within apps. I found that everything apart from the scrolling between home screens is smoother on sense 3 :) I still don't think it's worth going back to sense 2.1 though
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
+1

Don't like that stupid rotating cube effect.
[HTC Desire S] Deo3PL:
I build software for downgrad Sense and HBOOT.

I need 10 posts for publish...
[HTC Desire S] RonaldLeeLongTing:
Thanks for the advice

Hi, thanks for the advice but I'm pretty sure that htc have stopped releasing updates for the desire s aside from some minor bug fixes but not OS changes. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks again,

Ronald
[HTC Desire S] RonaldLeeLongTing:
Temporary Root

Thank you so much for such a quick reply. If possible could you please send me a guide to this temporary root. Also could you tell me what differences this root has from the conventional root and does it have any devastating risks like normal rooting such as bricking one's phone, because if that's the case I would have to consider paying $100 or so for a 3rd party phone repair specialist to do the job, that way if anything goes wrong their liable and not some guy that failed to root his phone [me].

Regards

Ronald
[HTC Desire S] chninkel:
The major difference between this root and conventional is that this one is temporary. Once you've rebooted, you're no longer rooted. You could easyly do it yourself, check the INDEX and search for "downgrade hboot without using htcdev unlock". Considering your mainversion (2.10 or higher) you should use zergrush for 2.10.xxx or tacoroot if > 2.10.xxx.
[HTC Desire S] scorpionatthepc:
Theres suppose to be an ICS update this month which includes the new lighter version of htc sence.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ploone:
Hey fellas,

Got my hands on the Incipio Faxion today, this is a one-piece hybrid style case that offers great protection without adding excessive bulk. Made of a TPU and polycarbonate combination, the Faxion fits tightly on your Galaxy S3, ensuring a nice and solid feel. Ports and cutouts are perfect on this one, and although the back scratches up, at least the case is getting damaged and not your phone. Scratch & drop protection are very good since the combination of materials provides for great shock absorption and scratch protection. The case retails for 35$ from Incipio but you can find it for 20$ if you look around.

Check out the full review below:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tawne:
i quite like this one tbh ... will scour around for a cheap one because it looks nice
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ploone:
It's a terrific case! Unless you absolutely love it, stay tuned for my CandyShell review since they are similar cases, that way you can decide which of the two you like better.

flashed jb and gapps jb - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120717-signed.zip from clockwork recovery, rebooted waited about 10 mins, just when i was going to give up it booted !!

Got Google?

Do you have a Google Account ?

If you use Gmail, answer Ues

- Yes

- No

Selecting Yes, takes you to 'Select Wi-Fi'

Selecting No, takes you back to Make it Google, options: Get an account, Not now

Selecting Not now takes you to 'Use Google Location': Allow Google's Location service.. and Use my location..

Unticking both takes you back to the Welcome screen

If I press Menu button I get WPS Push Button and Add Network, if I click the 3 digits icon next to Select Wi-Fi I get 'Automatic setup (WPS) - which reports 'Request failed. Please try again in a few minutes'

So can't actually get into any custom settings which is annoying !!

Swiped screen down to reveal time, day and date etc, tapped settings option, nothing displayed

Will try flashing kernel and rebooting

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
awesome to hear you guys got this booting. jordfaz did you have to do many changes to the kernel to boot?

also if you guys havn't seen, ajrty33 has posted resized LatinIME.apk, Launcher2.apk, and CMWallpapers.apk that are a heck of alot smaller than the ones included. definitely take a look at that if you get a chance to save some space.

loxxy, can you flash the rom after lights formatall and then not flash gapps. try to boot into the rom without flashing gapps first and go into wifi settings and see if you can change the avoid low signal box.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faZevoLv:
I havnt changed the kernel at all no it just takes a long time for it to boot up, and for some reason, the rom wont boot without gapps:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tazzpatriot:
if ur menu button works,, go to wifi advanced take check off temporary avoiding poor connection wifi should work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Loxxy:
Just dont have the option :(

Only Automatic setup (WPS) when tapping the three icon

Settings icon doesnt work at all

Tried on work wireless = dirtylittlesecret (WPA2 PSK)

status: Temporarily avoiding poor connection

Signal strength: good

Advanced settings under SSID, just gives the usual Proxy settings and IP settings

Looks from a google search that nexus using having issues with wifi same place we are after flashing 3.0 kernel :(

These are flags for test build 4 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] smetsjan:
Android keyboard dies all the time if another language is chosen.

I still have the wifi 'poor connection' problems, so that's where I'm stuck.

I'm going to wipe everything and try again, perhaps I forgot something.

Also, google chrome indicated there was something wrong ("unsafe") with the downloaded .zip file.. not important probably.

Can I ask where you found CWM 5.8 for your Hero ? Last verison I've found was 2.5.0.7.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Loxxy:
gapps for jb is pretty toxic for hero at the moment when it comes to wi-fi.

With test build 3 you can open Wi-Fi settings, and switch off poor connection avoidance.

Working on build 4 at the moment to fix the rooting issues, then jordfaz and myself will crack on with fixing keyboard language issues

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

Re. Google chrome download (I get the same its fine honest)

Can you flash build 3, wait for boot, reboot back to recovery then flash gapps

5.5.0.4 can be found here:

Downloaded all files from GITHUB, created update.zip (removed extra files of other phone models), Installed it! Installed instantly, 3 mins on still booting though! I am waiting will post once up!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kemoba:
AFAIK Jordfaz's allinone doesnt work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heartrobber18:
Got it installed but no 3G Data /WiFi

I finally installed it using files from GITHUB but Wifi is not working and so does 3G data any fix for these issues?

Please let me know, or how can we port Wifi drivers from older ROMs,

where is the option for selecting network gone????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kemoba:
Get my CM10, copy the i think /system/lib/modules/wifi.ko to your rom, chmod, insmod, to get wifi to work, 3G, i dont remember how i fix it, play around with it for a bit
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heartrobber18:
Was able to fix issues using LV 1.2

Thanks for the response! I managed to get wifi working by updating it with LV 1.2 (installed it from recovery)

Here is my report for this ROM

- Speed: Not fast, but okay

- WiFi - works perfect

- GPS - does not work

- 3G/2G data - did not worked for me, I was not able to find settings to select mobile network proider

- Phone settings missing - Where were the settings using which I can change my voicemail service, 2nd call options etc.

- NO SOUND - nothing worked neither alarm, nor ringtone.

- Requires one to read, read and read again to figure how to install this ROM in first place. (I am jotting down steps that worked for me)

- Overall: Average ROM, cannot be used full time yet!

HOW TO INSTALL:

1. Download from GITHUB (https://github.com/Jordfaz/AllInOne-Cyanogenmod-10) there is a zip button above which downloads it fully

2. Download update.zip manager v3 http://www.mediafire.com/?7j9z6c75mycqll3

3. Start updatezip manager script and place the 3 folders (devicesupport, meta-inf, and system) into placehere folder

4. OPTIONAL: you can delete files from within devicesupport folder that is not that of your phone (In this case just keep hero folder and delete everything else) doing this saves some time.

5. create the package update.zip, move it to sd (do not install yet)

6. Download GAPPS from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip copy to SD

7. Download Las Venturas v1.2 Kernel from http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7r5rcr70mh3ynb3 and copy to SD

INSTALLATION

Boot to recovery and

STEP 0: Crate a full backup, clear cache, davlik cache, user data (Must before you flash any ROM in order to let you go to previous state)

1. Install update.zip

2. Install Gapps

3. Install Las Venturas kernel v1.2

Boot and you're ready to roll!

Finally after a bit of fiddling around I flashed to my earlier ROM :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lazzarone:
tnx for your report about this new update..its sad to see again gps not working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PowerPlop:
This can be done a lot easier. Just take CM10 build by shelnutt in the CMDA section.

1.Edit boot.img to hero and change kernel

2.Replace files of lib/modules of these of your kernel

3.Replace files of lib/hw/... with files of CM9

And you got a fully working up to date ROM.

EDIT: Also replace the libril.so and htcril.so files.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lazzarone:
hello PowerPlop, can u do it for us? can u upload a working rom whit this changes? tnx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Delta-flasher:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heartrobber18:
Yeah! I'd love to test that image too! Please upload one!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PowerPlop:
I got no time at the moment, but in the future,(After 28 January) I'll try to do it.

EDIT: I see there are some more people that want it. Well, **** school! :p If you're lucky I can get it done this evening.

Yep. I would advise all that want an update to do what we did back in the day and learn to build them yourself. Its a great learning experience that will stick with you for every android device you get.

Shelnutt quit building cm10 a while ago, but there is a nice evervolv port just itching to get ported to hero GSM in the heroc threads courtesy of the awesome Eris crew and yours truly.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pierfai:
Ehy guys, i know that is a lot of time ago, but have you the ROM, gapps and all the files for make this installation? I want to install this last ROM in a HTC hero, please! :) the links for download are dead.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dbzk0sh:
Hei, did you manage to get those link from anyone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] smetsjan:
Okay, Build 3 without gapps:

* Wifi works after changing the poor connection settings.

* Call works (when I have reception)

* No reception most of the time. Sometimes works after a reboot

* No mobile data (when I have reception)

* Unable to send text messages (when I have receptions, when calls work)

* Settings -> (interface) System menu crashes

* dmesg is full of Smartass: frequency change failed: 264000 to 245760 => 264000 , probably harmless

* toggling gps causes reboot (got that just once actually) (gps functionality not tested)

* mounting usb storage -> reboot

* a lot of spontanious reboots :) (although it's not REALLY rebooting? its just showing the 'startup'' screen

i'm not really into android dev stuff, where do I find all the logs?

Just wondering, is this partially based on CM10 dev work or how did you upgrade to JB ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Loxxy:
thanks for testing and feedback :), can you reduce the max cpu down to 672 instead of 710

we're still a long way off alpha, added more google framework based on cyanogenmod 10 core (working on the bootscreen)

it's jordfaz's baby but has his hands full with the ICS port, we'll get there (I want this has my default os as well)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] faZevoLv:
I can fix mobile network, keyboard languages and maybe gps.

I'll also look for some speed tweaks like in my CM9 rom;)

Do you have adb setup on your computer? just plug your phone in with a USB cable and type adb logcat

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
loxxy it works, add that line to your updater script if you havnt already for su.

for radio and data, add:

libril.so

libreference-ril.so

libhtc_ril.so

to lib and overwrite the ones that were in there

then use 7zip to open up framework-res.apk, and open the res folder. scroll all the way down and enter the xml folder. you have to take eri.xml and apns.xml from jordfaz/1ceb0x's/samm000/stritfajt (wherever you feel like it) ics rom and put it in there.

then of course make sure all the relevant entries in build.prop are there for ril settings, and check in /etc and see if:

apns-conf.xml

ecclist_for_mcc.conf

and anything else radio related is correct. if not, add them from an ics rom for hero gsm.

please let me know if that works
