Lack of dev support for Desire S

Just wanted to know people's opinions of the lack of aosp dev support for this phone.
I don't want to take anything away from the Dev's that have ported from other devices but i'd like an AOSP Rom that is developed specifically for the Desire S :/

Yes, there seems to be lack of dev support here compared o all the other HTC devices..
What I would really like is if we could have Android Revolution HD ROMs, and LeeDroid ROMs (there are great ports now from dhd)
But I would prefer support from the devs themselves

How have you got LeeDroid on your DS .
From your signature i can see
"HTC Desire S (LeeDroid v3.3.3 Rooted 2.3) NEW"

Currently there are multiple rom within this single thread in development, I'm hoping that they are all split at done point other wise it will be difficult to follow

Not as bad as an absolute lack of support.
The Kyocera Echo doesn't even have a recovery, stock or custom. We had root until 2.3.4 took it away.
Now we have nothing.
Should 2.3.4 be anything to be happy about without root? :|

It's been less than a month since Alpharev released their S-off, and an AOSP take so much more work than just copying a Sense rom and adding your own tweaks. Hydrogen Saga is the most stable AOSP I can find, andthis is also ported.
In time custom AOSP's built from the bottom up will come. I love not having any Sense.

I think it comes down to a quality issue. I never used a Cyanogen rom on the original Desire that didn't have a bug that wasn't already reported on the changelog. Not even a nightly.
Roms for the Desire S at the moment are coming with little Quality Control. We are the testers!

Is GB faster than ICS on Desire S?

Hi guys,
I tried many ICS roms some sense and other non-sense still all are laggy and no ICS rom is comparable with GB roms especially MIUI.GB .. is that true or I'm missing something here? Is it kernel source for Desire S? I don't think so as Virtuous Saga rom is laggy too
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app

Virtuous Saga is a leaked ROM, it isn't final and isn't fully polished/tested. Moreover, the kernel and ROM might be running in debug or partial debug mode, dumping lots of data and slowing down the system. The only other stock ICS ROM for testing is the community ROM from chinese OTA, but it doesn't have some of the functionality.
Given proper drivers or kernel adaptation, I don't think there should be any reason for slower ICS performance. One of the causes might be lack of kernel source, and adaptations for older binary drivers that are done to compensate for it. But it's only my opinion, not facts - I can't prove or disprove it.

Hi, have you tried AOKP? I just recently restored my old GB Sense ROM after having used AOKP for the last couple of months, just to see which one feels faster. After just one day I was back on AOKP. :laugh:

My opinion: all ICS ROMs for Desire S are still laggy and baggy in some way I've tried a couple of them and I'm still disappointed We are all hard waiting for HTC to release kernel 3.0 source. After that some problems with speed and stability will be fixed. And after that we'll see is "true" ICS on Desire S faster or not Until now - yes, faster. In my opinion, of course.

I use icecoldsandwitch and like it very much.
Its based on the AOKP rom.
Still a bit laggy but as good as it gets.

Quick question regarding HTC Sensations...

Sorry for being a complete noob but I recently converted to Android. :3 Are all these ROMs, mods and themes compatible with every single HTC Sensation? I have a Z710A and am really confused about this..

Yes however you have to Have proper firmware for ics roms.. also there are certain ways to flash the roms according to weather you are s off or s on. And of course you must be rooted. In my opinion it's much easier done if rooted and s off. To explain all this it's much easier if you read the guides then you can understand a bit better. Hope this helps. As for the mods yes there compatible with sensation however some are dependant on which rom your running. Such as a sense rom, or a jelly bean rom. They will state in the title which rom they are compatible with.

[Q] Jelly Bean based Sense Roms

I'm entirely new to android and i'm jst an end user who like to use new roms for his phone.. i hav an htc explorer and when i looked for sense based roms i found that there are only ICS based sense roms on the net and was just wondering why aren't there any jelly bean based sense roms??

It is important to accept that porting a ROM form another device is very tedious. You have to ensure compatibility of both software and hardware. HTC devices currently having Sense 4+ (which comes with JB) are the HTC One series, Evo, Butterfly, and the Desire X. All of them have an entirely different interface when compared to our Pico.
cute_prince just ported Sense 4.1 from Desire X, so it also may be possible for Sense 4+. All we have to do is wait and let the devs do their work. As a clear XDA rule is - no ETAs! Just one word..... Soon!

i'm sry if it felt like an accusation towards the devs.. i knw how hard it is to port an entirely different ROM to another device.. i was just surprised that there isnt any JB based sense ROM when all the sense based roms are ported from phones with ICS nd when those phones hav been updated to JB why havnt ny1 ported these roms as of yet.. i kst wanted to knw if its even possible or sense based ROMs for our beloved pico will nly be available with ICS only.. i'm sry if i came out a lil harsh bt it ws jst pure curiousity..

Your curiosity is nice. The simple answer is that our kernel does not have a few of the features that sense 4+ uses and so although developers like @cute_prince have ported it without any known problem in the code, things like display are unfixable. Thus, until developers like @sakindia123 decide to form a team to port a kernel with these features (kernel 3.4 would be suitable) like they did for kernel 3.0.16, putting an effort into porting sense 4+ will be rendered useless

Well, smileys are intended to show what our real emotions are while writing it. It was not at all offensive, didnt seem like an accusation

oh.. it never came in my mind that an entirely new kernel may be required for that purpose.. well i hope that the developers u mentioned start thinking abt that becoz we all knw JBs performance are much better then ICS
i've been using CM10 for over 2 mnths now and the only reason stopping me from trying out the sense ROMs is the fact that they are based on ICS which evryone seems to say contain some lag or some other prblm.. i jst thought JB being a better base then ICS would be more suitable for porting sense ROMs to our pico
well i would really look forward to and wait expectantly towards the day when some excellent devloper would port a sense 5 JB for our phone..

You are partially wrong. JB isn't a better base at all. It is more processor heavy and only has smooth graphically. It actually lags compared to ics which is much worse for old hardware. Also the notification drawer lags in jelly bean even in fast phones like the htc one x

you have to see it by yourself if it suits you best
but before flashing backup your current rom just in case
also there is no best rom only what is best to you

These are two totally different roms your talking about. ViperS 3.1.2 is a sense based rom whereas 4.3.1 is aosp rom. Sense is an interface made my htc which is added to the stock rom made my google. Aosp roms are roms without the interface of sense(htc) or touchwiz(samsung) just like a rom release by google.
The ram depends on the maker of the rom. Depends how much he wants to keep free for users.
Both are good for daily use. Only depends on what you want.

I am using the rom viper sense 5. that's also good. despite the fact that any viper rom drains battery more than other roms.
