Hm, I am on hboot 2.00.002 (not 2.00.2002) and I do have a /system_lib partition. :confused:
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Yes, 2.00.002 is fine as well.

Edit: that's what 2.00.2002 and 7.00.1002 are based on, those 3 have the same partition layout.
[HTC Desire S] finistere:
Thanks for this essential piece of information. :good: :good: :good: I was just about to upgrade to 2.00.2002 via the ICS RUU. I'm glad I can skip that now. :D
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
It's very good you didn't, as the ics ruu would have upgraded you to 2.02.0002, which may be problematic. :)
[HTC Desire S] finistere:
That was close, then. :)
[HTC Desire S] signfinder:
And me. I am guinea pig with this hboot

How can I download this ROM? Devhost is down for a few days :(
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Well dev host is working fine for me but will sort a mirror first thing in the morning.
[HTC Desire S] signfinder:
use Sabsa Prime.

The attractiveness of Desire XS firmware - in the absence of any extra things. Genius - in simplicity.
[HTC Desire S] michaeldepotter:
I hope the next releases will work on Hboot 2.02.002. Or is it easy to downgrade it?
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Should be fine as it also has the seperate lib partition, I will putting up a test version in the thread later for people to try out and see if any issues crop up.
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
U guys doesn't like opinions and suggestions... Don't u...
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
I expect only after editing the updater-script and using a very recent version of 4ext.
[HTC Desire S] PVL_93_RU:
That post did not contain neither an opinion or a suggestion

Plus it has been discupssed earlier and Thantos himself said that Full sense features will NOT be added in this ROM. We already have Full Sense 4.1 ROMs (Cooldroid and ViperSAGA) and a hybrid in form of Sabda Prime.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
One thing I should mention for anyone who may not realise, in order to ensure that 4ext actually wipes the separate lib partition you have to actually set it up through the 4ext app so that it knows to include it in the wipe process.

to do this, launch the 4EXT Recovery Updater app, go into Settings, click the 'Recovery' tab, then scroll down to the device specific options, and ensure that there is tick in 'Format /system/lib' option.

I also plan on trying to get around any issues with differences between the /system_lib partitions by having the installer ask which you have then have it mount the appropriate mount point, so for example, for hboot 2.00.2002 it will mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p28. I just need to confirm what the mount points are for the other hboots with the extended hboots are. ( i believe that 2.02.002 is mmcblk0p29 but not certain on that yet.)
[HTC Desire S] twist3rtm:
I saw here few hboot versions but one .. mine : 2.00.0002 (not 2.00.002 or 2.00.2002)

I'm still on the beta version because RC1 didn't fixed the problems I had so I'm waiting version 1.
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
That is 2.00.002, I think I forgot a 0 ;)
[HTC Desire S] fblasot:
After searchs I believe that teadrinker is correct.

Here http://www.tuttoandroid.net/forum/m...ernel-ics-4-0-4-3-sense-4-3-6-miui-v-4-a.html the same solution...
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Need to finish odexing and testing, and sort the aroma script, and I've just found out that the other half has made plans for us to go out this evening, (nice to be told about these things in advance rather than an hour beforehand) so the upload won't be ready till after we get back.
[HTC Desire S] fblasot:
downgrade from hboot 2.02.0002 to 2.00.2002

Even if the solution has been found perhaps for hboot 2.02.0002 I went for the downgrade to hboot 2.00.2002 and S-OFF.

For who wish to do the same I did:

(please before go, read, read again, find also other guide in internet, I'm not responsable if something goes wrong !)

nandroid backup from recovery (I use 4EXT Recovery classic)

downgrade hboot: follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318919 but starting from "Modifying the version of your phone" since I'm already htcdev.com unlocked and rooted (of course I'm on Desire XS RC1 rom...)

The RUU I used was the old RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe since my unit is not operator branded.

You must use a rom 1.x to get hboot 0.98.x needed for revolutionary.

Since in XDA the post with Desire S Stock ROM collection is dead I got the rom from here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Saga

Note that you must use the correct rom for your unit (region/operator/etc) !

Or you can use a general one but you have to create a Goldcard !

Reboot, let rom start and the go in settings to disable fast boot and set debug usb.

revolutionary + S-OFF: follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194488.

Since I didn't know if the new hboot erase all I let download recovery CWM (I think you can skip the download since after the boot I found the new hboot revolutionary and S-OFF but also the original old htc rom fully working.).

Installed also Superuser.

new hboot 2.00.2002: follow http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18122984&postcount=237.

I didn't make backup since I had already done.

At command "su" I got error but I ignore it...

Note: before the first "dd" command you must mount sdcard using recovery (and not after as written in guide, but if you don't you will only lost the backup of current hboot but you don't need it...).

I skip the last part of copy/flash PG88IMG.zip.

new radio 3831.19.00.110: follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1860253.

I didn't backup nor the restore.

Deleted from sdcard the file PG88IMG.zip (from CWM recovery I toggle usb and deleted it from pc).

install 4EXT Recovery classic: put phone in booloader/fastboot usb and follow http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21895635&postcount=172

(Maybe you can skip this if you don't download CWM in previous step.)

restore nandroid backup: from recovery I format all partition (except sdcard) and then restore nandroid backup

and I'm again in Desire XS RC1, lost nothing, hboot 2.00.2002 S-OFF, lastest radio.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Thank you for the guide, I'm sure others will find it useful. I personally recommend hboot 2.00.2002 with radio 3831.19.00.110 as this is the combo I use and don't have any issues.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Okay all I am now uploading an odexed version of the rom for people to test. However please make a note of the following if you do wish to test it.

Test versions of the rom will be to test specific features only, as a result the only changes present may only be the specific changes that are being tested, and/or features that were previously included may be missing from a test rom. I will try to inform people of anything specific that is different from the current release

Only bug reports from a test rom that pertain to the specific feature that is up for testing will be acknowledged, reports on anything else wrong with a test rom will be ignored

When reporting a bug, please dont just put "it doesn't work", that is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard. please try to be concise on exactly what happens and try to include the following information.

What you were doing when the error occurred

What hboot you are on

What radio you are using

What options you selected during install.

Where appropriate, include a logcat of the error.

This information will help me narrow down the cause of the issue much quicker meaning I can get a fix out to you all alot faster.

The current test build will be to test the install process on the different hboots and for a report on the general performance of the rom now that it is odexed. If you find that the rom doesn't boot, then please try installing selecting the opposite hboot option from your first try and report back on the results using the format listed above.

Other changes from the current release are,

Full screen recent apps and seven homescreen rosie have been temporarily removed pending some bug fixes.

Friendstream is no longer in a sulk with twitter and will now allow you to add your twitter account. (Hands up all those who thought I'd forgotten about that one. ;) )

You can download the test version HERE
[HTC Desire S] petrevirgil:
I noticed that your Rom is going to be one of the best,keep going like that....

I have one silly question:it will be possible to have swap support and HTC IME with arrow?
[HTC Desire S] sunand777:
I think proper button for recent apps is press and hold with home button.and maintain search button for search function...also front camera preview is not correct for our device..
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Search is still search unless you decided that you wanted recent apps on the search button during install. If you didn't the recent apps is on menu and you can switch its behavior in settings. I just don't see the point in spending hours writing out code just to go from long press menu to long press home, after all the buttons are right next door to each other. (htc completely removed the long press home code, so it will require writing it in by hand and removeing the option from settings to be able to switch it around.) Please remember that if you upgrade to any new HTC device the recent apps will be exactly the same as this rom, for that reason I don't see this as a bug as it is working exactly as HTC intended.

The front camera has been mentioned several times in the thread, just change it from 1mp to VGA in camera settings and preview will be fine. As said the 1mp option for front facing cam will be disabled in final release.
[HTC Desire S] sunand777:
Hi Thantos,..good work ..keep it up, the rom is nice and clean with good speed and smooth working ...Thanks for your hard work..im also waiting for full sense4 rom from u..is have any chance to get one sv ruu leak?.. that will be fine for our device with full sense 4 features..
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
I want to clarify this once and for all. This rom is supposed to give the user an experience as close to a real sense 4 device (in this case the HTC Desire X) as it can possibly be. Since certainly the release of the ONE series HTC dropped having 4 buttons on there devices (home menu, back and search in favour of just 3 (home, app switch/menu, back) and dropped recent apps on long press home and combined it with menu, along with an option in settings that would allow the end user to decide whether they wanted menu or recent apps to appear on long press of the app switch/menu button. I have mimicked this exactly in this Rom by setting up our menu button as the app switch/menu button. This means that it will give you the exact same experience as any new HTC phone you upgrade to in the future, including but not limited too

HTC One X+

HTC One X

HTC One V

HTC Desire X

HTC Desire V

HTC Desire C

HTC Desire SV

HTC Desire VT

HTC Desire VC

HTC Evo 4G LTE

HTC DROID incredible 4G LTE

HTC J

I will not be changing this at any point as this feature is working exactly as it is intended to work and as far as I am aware this is the only sense 4 Rom to offer the feature to natively switch between long press recent apps and single press for recent apps within the phones original settings here on the Desire S forums.

However if the action of having to move your thumb 10mm to the right to call up recent apps makes this Rom unusable for you then there other options available to you, there are after all a number of sense 4 roms available for our desire s, all offering something different, and when all is said and done isn't that the point of what we do here at XDA, to offer people a variaty of choices. This Rom simply offers people the choice of a simple clean Rom that will make the device feel like its a completely new phone, with just the minimal tweaks needed to make everyday life easier, and having the buttons match the devices I know a number off you will have longingly played around with in your local phone store just helps add to that new phone feeling.

Remember, with this Rom you no longer own a Desire S, you now own a Desire XS.
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Funny enough I have just got the ONE SV ruu, I just need to decrypt the Rom.zip and get to work on it. Should point out though I don't plan on getting to much into it until this Rom has a final release, however my experiences here should allow for work to go much faster on that project.
[HTC Desire S] sunand777:
resize problem on record button in notes app..i think it will be proper size in one sv rom..i saw it in correct size on one su china leak ruu port... also hot reboot not working.. i dont know about that you are disabled on test version....
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Hmm had missed that in notes, will take a look. Weird thing is I haven't resized anything in this Rom as desire x is the same resolution as the desire s.

Hot reboot I never use so hadn't noticed it not working, will have to investigate further on that.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
It never worked for me at any ROM. Always lead to bootloop.

But in another forum I read was mentioned several times that flashing hboot 7.x fixes it. I use hboot 2.00.2002 and this is not a big deal for me so I just let it be.
[HTC Desire S] Cole07:
I used Hot Boot several times and I confused after read its not workin :) It works on my DS. Using hboot 7.00.1002. As amidabuddha mention it wasn't working on 2.00.0002

i have hboot 7.00.1002.. but hot reboot not working..

Downloading the test rom right now. I'll give an update about it today or tomorrow!
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Hey all amidabuddha has pointed out some errors with the aroma scripts concerning the partition layout, and I also completely forgot to adjust the install location for the google now libs, was hoping to have it all corrected and a new test version uploaded for you all today but ended up getting tied up with a few things so will get it sorted for you all in the morning.
[HTC Desire S] signfinder:
Is it worth trying on hboot 2.02.0002 S-On unlocked?

[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Okay all I have corrected the errors in the install script with regards to the partition layouts, and also the libs for google now install properly this time. For those who want to test you can download it HERE

I have also updated the link in my original post as well.
[HTC Desire S] zacman:
hi again thantos, i flashed 2.02.02 hboot versiyon from aroma and rom semms work good and camera properties are fully works but can we use volume buttons for zoom in and out function?

and recent app choice for landscape type is not in rom.

and also no 7 homescreen.

and there is no file explorer in rom but not important.

and widgets are ok especially profile.

and lastly we want to live weather and lockscreen functions on this beatiful and perfect rom. could you put a choice in aroma for this?
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Did state on original post when I uploaded the test Rom that 7 screen Rosie and full screen recent apps were missing as I am looking at some bugs in them. (remember this is just a zip to test that the install script works correctly and to get feedback on performance now that the Rom is odexed.

As for the full sense 4 features you are requesting please look back through the thread a couple of pages where I have written a post with regards to that issue.
[HTC Desire S] Metallurgico:
- upgraded HBOOT from 6.98 to 7.00.1002

- wiped all except sdcard

- installed test zip with full wipe

- chosen HBOOT 7.00.1002

- selected all app options

- reboot

Everything seems ok after 30+ minutes of usage; fast and fluid as always. :good:

The best ROM for Desire S.... I mean, Desire XS :cool:

Edit: Twitter on Friend Stream now works

Edit 2: Google Now cards doesn't work anymore. They cannot be enabled. Google Now search works.

[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
To my knowledge it has not been confirmed for definate whether the Desire X will or will not be getting jellybean. HTC has said that anything with 512Mb or less ram won't be getting the update which I believe rules out things like the One V, but as the Desire X has 768Mb of ram that leaves it in the running still
[HTC Desire S] Metallurgico:
After 1 day of usage of the Test Zip I found no other issues apart those I mentioned in my previous post.
[HTC Desire S] sunand777:
another bug....

The actual incoming message time is not correct that from sender,its about 20 mins slower than actual
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
What is your radio version? You tried the latest one?
[HTC Desire S] thantos2024:
Are you sure about the time it was sent, sometimes a text can be delayed in reaching you but I think it will still display the time the person actually sent it, not when you received it. (this can depend on the network, I think.) For example my partner has sent me messages when my phone has been switched of so I don't get them till a couple hours later but it will still show me the time it was sent by her.
[HTC Desire S] signfinder:
Dear thantos2024

Please do not add anything extra there (7 desktops, lockscreen from full sense and etc.). Your firmware is ingenious in its simplicity (keeps excellent battery, smoothness and fast). Do not make it a miracle into a monster.

HTC chose to show the time the message was sent on the network and not the time you receive it. I had the same problem with my HTC Legend. There's an app on the Play Store that change this time, from network to device. Try it.

I have already implamented the patch in services.jar, people just need to use the supercharger scripts if they wish to use it. (I thought I had posted that in one of the earlier patch notes, thing it came about in RC2.)

Re: [ROM][22 Dec 12]Desire XS RC 1 [Sense 4.1 lite] [Android 4.0.4] 100% Working cam

The only mods that I am willing to offer is the fullscreen recent apps and 7screen Rosie, these will be seperate mods in the aroma installer only, and the only if I can be sure that they work perfectly with no bugs. The full screen recent apps icons need working as they look awful, and the seven screen Rosie had issues withe the widgets appearing in the wrong place on boot and widgets dissapearing on reboot. I have solved the layout on boot issue so that all the widgets appear on the correct screen, but the widgets disappearing is still an issue. ( its everything screen 7 and the launch bar.)

So you all know from tomorrow I plan to start work on attempting to port a jellybean sense 4+ Rom from the One S (S3) to our Desire S, whether it will pan out or not I really don't know, but figured it was at least worth a try. If I do manage to get something at least halfway usable then I will release it as a WIP for people to play with while I complete this Rom. But please, don't get your hopes up yet.

odexed rom

Hi, First of all: Thank you for your hard work.

I flashed the odexed test rom with full wipe twice, and some widgets are missing (htc mail, hatc calendar, ,,,,), but i can find them in the system app.

Why is that?

[HTC Desire S] craftman:
thantos2024, can you please have a look at BetterBatteryStats, because it is not working with your ROM. Tried different versions with no luck, it worked fine with others previously.

And a cosmetic change: using BT headset, when you push the button to change to loudspeeker, phone and BT during a phone call, it is still displaying Desire X. Anyway, I can live with it :)

Hi, are you just talking about this latest test version? I am asking because BBS was and is working perfectly on all previous versions including RC1
[HTC Desire S] craftman:
To be honest, I'm on Beta 2.01, and used the XDA edition of BBS. On the previous ROMs (stock GB, VI 1.35, Viper 1.0.0) it worked perfectly. Now it starts with a black screen with the header, which disappears and stays that way (pure black screen). The only solution is the Home button, and task manager. I skipped RC1 and the test version as found no problem so currently RC1 has no added value to me.

I tried different versions from BBS, starting with the same I used on other ROMs ending with the latest ones. No difference. Phone has restarted many times, and the ROM was installed after a full wipe.

Re: [ROM][22 Dec 12]Desire XS RC 1 [Sense 4.1 lite] [Android 4.0.4] 100% Working cam

I my self have had some issues with BBS, but have not been overly worried about it as battery life on this Rom is excellent so it hasn't been needed. However I will look into it further as its handy for finding rouge apps.
[HTC Desire S] craftman:
As I posted earlier (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36506125#post36506125), the battery life is really excellent, but as you said, it would be great to have this working as it is a really important program to start with when trying to find naughty apps.

One thing to mention, maybe it is not ROM related, but kernel. I'm on Tweaked3 X, and having 550+ hours uptime. Wi-Fi started to fool me, sometimes, when I try to turn it on, it stayc disconnected. The only solution is to enable Wi-Fi hotspot, and turn it off. After this, Wi-Fi starts to work again. It is not guaranteed it will stay that way, so it can happen to do the above after every 2. Wi-Fi usage. I don't really care, just saying (rather "play" with if than restart my phone).
