[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
I am having a hard time understanding your current configuration. If you have the stock HTC HBOOT version 2.02.0002, but are already S-OFF, then you simply need to flash a custom recoveyr such as ClockworkMod or 4EXT in order to flash custom ROMs. There is no reason to 'downgrade' if you have S-OFF.

If you have BlackRose HBOOT 2.02.0002 with S-OFF, again there is no reason to 'downgrade' this to install custom ROMs. Again you would flash a custom recovery and then you can flash custom ROMs.

If that does not answer you question, please post a screen shot of your bootloader screen and also the output of this command:

fastboot getvar all

so we can determine your current configuration.
[HTC Incredible S] GuestK00192:
Hello,

thanks for replying so fast.

Yes I have HBOOT 2.02.002 and S-OFF but I lost my recovery (4ext) when I installed ICS RUU. I had problem with the keyboard sometimes probably because I was using the first "official" ICS that came out and it was German.

I only need to replace the RUU with a ROM, but I dont have 4ext anymore and all I could find was a ling to a website to install an .apk but I dont have root anymore.

Thanks again.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
With S-OFF, just boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and you can flash a new recovery image using the command:

fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery.img]
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Then use ClockworkMod. You can download a .zip file from their website and that should contain the [recovery].img.

Then just reboot to fastboot and use the command that tpbklake advised.
[HTC Incredible S] GuestK00192:
This is what I am doing right now :), thanks to your signature ;).

Any ROM suggestion ?

Thank you again.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
ARHD 5.3 if you want to stick with Sense and ICS. I also would suggest poondog's Kangaroo Kernel.
[HTC Incredible S] GuestK00192:
Well I tried a few ICS ROMs using CWM and I had no problem at all , even for ARHD which suggest using ext4.

I also played a little bit with GB ROMs and IMHO, it is smoother than any of the ICS ROMs I tried. So maybe its time for me to get a new phone. I even wonder how come I managed to use ICS (German RUU) for so long without being annoyed by the lag.

Maybe I should try a ICS ROM without Sense ? Any suggestions ?

Thanks again btw.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
No, I have always used a Sense ROM on my IncS. Did you try using Kangaroo Kernel with ARHD 5.3? When I use it with my stock, rooted ICS ROM, it is buttery smooth with no lag.
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Gingerbread is smoother because there aren't nearly as many background processes running at the same time.

In regards to Sense ROMs, you can always try Blackout v4 (for Sense 3.6) or SVHD v1.7.1 (for Sense 4.1). Match either one of those ROMs' with poondog's kangaroo kernel and there is virtually 0 lag. Its quite the amazing kernel really (Yay poondog :p ).

If you want to try AOSP, there isn't much to try for ICS, just jellybean. And there are a number of things I don't like about each but let's not discuss that here since this post good get quite lengthy. Nevertheless, the developers made great strides to provide as best a ROM as they can and each one of the ROMs deserves a try. I would ditch the kernels that they came with and get Tesco-Joey Kernel (also made by poondog).
[HTC Incredible S] GuestK00192:
I cant post anywhere else ;). This has to be the weirdest board I ever subscribed...

I tried the Kernel with one of the ICS ROM and I couldnt see the difference. Ill give it another shot this week.

Thanks again for all the great tips !

Hey all,

I have a question about how the cm10.1 camera is working on my phone. I have the GS3 i747, and it is running the stable version of cm 10.1.

-Is there a better way to use the HDR function on the camera? The 3 different pictures taken are very slow, so no matter how still i am, the picture is always blurry. Is there a better camera i could use? for example Camera JB+?

thanks and let me know

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] voicedialin:
Hello,

I have Mini and Destinator 3 and BT GPS, I want to purchase a handsfree speaker in the car.

1. Is it possible to use a bluetooth speaker in the car and use the same speaker for the voice command directions from Destinator via bluetooth to the same bluetooth speaker ?

or is it possible to:

2. To have a 12v cigarette plug in speaker including Microphone that has a 2.5mm or 3.5 mm connector so that any audio coming from the 02 mini either a call or destinator voice command comes through the speaker.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks

P;-)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] BGK:
Hi voicedialin,

The first case won't work, because there is (by now) no bluetooth profile available for the magician, which would allow that (BT Audio). Could be done by changing/hacking the bluetooth stack.

The second case will work, as the magician will direct both the Destinators wav output as well as the callers voice whilest a telefone call to the output connector. The only thing, which might be a problem ist the audio connector of the magician, which is a 4 pin 2,5mm connector which is normally used for stereo audio out, mic in and signaling functions (pic up call/end call). Usually such connectors aren't sold seperatly.

Greetings,

bgk

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8bitboy:
Hi,

I have an old HTC Desire and the memory is running low (Facebook app is getting too big :p).

It's still running on 2.2 Froyo (stock) but I needed a gold card years ago (somehow I don't know why anymore, maybe because it was sim-locked) to install Froyo on it.

I know my Desire isn't rooted and all... haven't been following Android versions and I was wondering if I can put on some of the latest version on a Desire (Jelly bean, 4.2?) somehow.

I know years ago it was hard to root/put a custom rom on it. Now a days I read there are much easier methods. Can someone put me in the good direction?

Thanks!

Here are my spec's I collected on the phone:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
This is what i would recommend. S-off and install a custom recovery using revolutionary, flash a 4.2 rom of your choice.

First download htc sync, then uninstall it so that it leaves only the necessary drivers behind. Then install these fastboot drivers. Also make sure that usb debugging is enabled on your phone. Then download a rom that you want to install from here and copy it to your sd card. Also if the rom doesnt come with gapps, make sure that you download and copy those as well.

Next download revolutionary from here and also fill out the information so that you can get the beta key. Plug your phone in, unzip the file and then run revolutionary.exe. Continue through all the steps and say yes to installing the recovery.

Now boot into hboot (turn phone off, then turn back on using volume down and power) and it should say s-off. From hboot select RECOVERY and it should open your newly installed clockworkmod recovery. Select wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. After that go to install zip from sdcard, choose the rom that you downloaded earlier and flash it. Do the same for the gapps. Then reboot and profit.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8bitboy:
Thanks! I got some questions:

1) Will I need a goldcard? I made one years ago but don't know how to check if it is already goldcarded?

2) Which hboot should I choose when I want to get the beta key of revolutianary?

3) Also what serial number? That of my phone?

4) What do you mean by "Also check if the rom doesnt come with gapps"? Is the google play/store not a standard in the custom roms?

I'm going to follow the steps above I hope I can accomplish this withouth problems :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Make a goldcard. (I never did and had no problems, but if you are getting CID errors with revolutionary make one)

Use the hboot version that you have on your phone. You said above that its the 0.93 version, so use that.

Roms usually don't come with the google apps (including the play store) because of copyright issues. You will need to flash the google apps package.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8bitboy:
Nevermind :)

Also how do I get root? Or is this already done before I install a custom rom?

I installed this rom (cyanomod). I still having issues with internal memory. Any ideas? I didn't quite understand the wizard options for A2Ext+: where you needed to choose Data, Dalvic cache or both.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Custom ROMs come with root most of the time.

You need to partition your SD card. Look in the desire general section for the guide, probably on the first page.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8bitboy:
Ok it worked. I found out using 4EXT. But then I wanted to restart. It is taking ages (I have a Transcend 8 GB micro sd class 6). It just keeps on the cyanomod loading screen.

EDIT: removed the sd card, now i had to go throught the install wizard for setting my phone.

EDIT 2: have mounted the sd card again, but can't install any app (not enough memory). When I look at the amount of memory I have i see 0.98 GB free

EDIT3: Reinstalled the rom. all works now. :)

A couple of things to note for others who make look at this thread - After flashing the rom in your link: http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/fi...radio-024p320906-101303234-release-signedexe/

1. Hboot will be at 2.14 - So if you wish, downgrade back to 1.09, otherwise you will need to flash the boot.img and then the rom when trying new roms.

2. The after market recovery (will now be oem recovery) will be gone so be sure to reinstall your preferred recovery (TWRP or CW)

3. The touchscreen may not respond in some roms, so you may have to downgrade your touchscreen panels firmware http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2159863

Hello all,

My Nexus S i9020 running Android 4.0.4 has run into a spot of bother!

As a result of leaving my phone on the windowsill while I was having a shower, condensation seeped into the phone, causing it to malfunction, and eventually die. The phone will not turn on/off and the computer cannot recgonise the phone when I lug it into the USB port. The phone however, does get warm when I leave it charging for 20-30mins. I have tried the bag of rice trick and that didn't work. I have also taken the phone apart and cleaned it but that didn't work either.

I sent it away to a phone repair company to see if they could do anything and they said it was a waste of time as there was mildew growing on the circuit board. I said I would post this anyway, incase anyone might have an idea on how I could bring back my beloved phone, and also to warn people not to leave their devices in the bathroom when having a shower!

Thanks, Jake
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magusxd:
Take the phone apart use a hairdryer and dry the mobo+screen for quite some time (20minutes++ depends) at the maximum heat be careful on the screen cause u can damage it from excess heat i can't tell exactly what is degree is ok for the screen as i do it by "feel' (no i don't touch it to understand if the heat is enough) . If that doesn't work then probably the ic chip is damaged or something else ;P

As for myself i never had a phone die from water damage i have dipped a nexus s in water (don't ask why i'm crazy enough) the battery didn't die completely but was unusable, the screen had marks after the water was removed, but the motherboard was fully functional. (take notice i have dipped 2 nexus s screens in water they always leave marks when the water is removed always !)

Worst i had was a bb9000 which i got into the shower with it (i was drunk) next morning the phone was on and completely soaked, motherboard survived, screen survived but battery died and the key membrane needed to be replaced
