Hi
I have a new Desire S, bought for my gf.
How can I update it to a ROM with Sense 3?
Dont want to brick it - she'd kill me...
Thanks

[REF][Q&A] Official ICS Update Q&A Thread

The speculation thread has filled up with pointless questions on the ROM. (I.E - non development info)
Examples...
'How do I disable vibration?'
'How do I turn off keyboard sound?'
Etc
Time to keep it simple, here is the Q&A thread, post any questions you have here, about the official updates.

Was a bit unsure of this at first, but in a sense its not just 1 question per thread, its a thread for questions and answers/tips etc,

Its probably a better idea anyway, because more people look in the General forum than in the Q&A...

I got 2 little questions:
1. How can I change the first day of the calendar from Sunday to Monday?
2. Why my "network provided time zone" is GMT+3, if I'm in Romania (GMT+2)? OK, I changed manually, but ... why?
Thanks!

1) not on Sense, so can't check, but go to calendar settings, and there is am option to change the first day of the week.
2)reboot the phone or try changing sim card

that link says, Install Desire S official ICS update and keep S-OFF and RECOVERY, but I think I have stock DS so it means my S-ON right?
I installed the rom and its quite nice - but there are two main problems, which i can't manage to solve on my own. ..
1. After disabling the spelling correction, it should be off - but in some apps, like trillian, its still activated. Didn't have that problem on 2.3
2. Same for vibrate feedback. Turned it off - but it's still on while typing in my apps.
Thats annoying while chatting ~_~
--------- Solved ----------
Should have looked further. .. found the options to disable both in the Touch Input Keyboard options. ..

I have a question regarding the update. I have a stock Desire S that is network locked on Orange. Do it need to unlock before the update, or should I proceed as normal?

Turn off your phone, battery out, then put it back in, press the volume down button while pressing the power button at the same time, it will say on there somewhere s-on or s-off

[ROM] Xtreamer Aiki 5" [MTK6575] [Discontinued]

I am no more associated with Xtreamer, so i am not developing any ROM for Aiki5.
Dont PM for me for download link, please visit Xtreamer forum.
Thanks

As someone who has been following Xtreamer's way since their first worldwide gadget I am really looking forward to following how the Aiki will develop in the future since it's a totally new area for Xtreamer.
Rohit, I'm a MIUI user and I know your RGUI from the S2 and S3 sections so I hope there's some way to port MIUI to the Aiki too since I believe MIUI is kind of a revelation in usability and all compared to most stock ROMs and launchers. That would surely give the Aiki a boost in community awareness. Keep up the great work man.

Advice

Hi everyone I'm happy to say I have just purchased a nexus s and would appreciate some advice preferably with links
Firstly on rootimg and unlocking the bootloader ! Also is there a all-in-one tool. Secondly miui Roms hopefully Ginger bread based (I heard oodie is on this forum somewhere his miui prime roms is still the top on the xperia x10i two years later. Any advice is much appreciated Sent from my X10i using xda premium
> just purchased
I hope you got the phone almost for free because there is very little reason to buy a phone at these specs.
You really need two cores (they don't need to be 1.7ghz monsters) and a 1 gig (or at least 700mb~) of ram.
I payed £64 for the phone I know its not dual core but I just want a standard phone which has a good graphical gpu and still has a decent development.
I have/used to have a xperia x10i and development has slowed right down in regards to ics/jb however pound for pound the nexus packs the biggest punch! Thus the reason for the purchase
I just want miui gingerbread working and I am happy

Welcome, if you want a latest stable official MIUI 2.3.7, you can find it on my google drive.
I bought my nexus 3 months ago, it was brand new and cost ~ £200, but it was last model in my country.
I always wanted to have this phone, and I don't feel like I have to have dual core phone now. Jellybean on NS is fast as hell.
here are all most popular roms for nexus s

happy flashing and using nexus!
My philosophy exactly!!!!
Which ROM is it exactly? I am not aware there was an official miui ROM for this device? Also what kernel if any is needed? Also is it a English ROM?
I am new here like i said i have had a xperia x10i since 2010 and i have nexus 7 16gb that is why I went for the nexus 3 the exact model is Gt-19020t I understand there is different variants/ models .
This is an exciting time for me I am glad there are like minded people on this forum I think I have made the correct decision

Best combo for me is latest 2.3.7c (there is also MIUI 2.3.7 Scotland version) with latest franco's kernel.
ROM: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B...sp=sharing&docId=0BxlS0gt4GJLMaGtPYzIzQndCNkU
Kernel: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B...sp=sharing&docId=0BxlS0gt4GJLMT0lLcm9rZnZyY0E
You can try Brainmaster MIUI also, it has included it's own kernel inside.
Search it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181050
Oh, Brainmaster's is multilanguage, official is only English/Chinese.
Does anybody have the gingerbread miui.us ROM anywhere?

Oooops, my bad.
What ROM r u trying to install? Do they match up?
I only ask cuz some developers don't make it easy to distinguish between crespo(nexus s) And crespo4g since they make the ROM for a lot of phones.
Is this ur first ROM to flash after rooting?
Do u have back ups?
The more info the better
Thx

Sounds like a bad download or you got a ROM for the gsm nexus s

Yeah I'd try verifying the rom is for NS4G first and then if it is download again.

you can use both, BUT READ EVERYTHING YOU CAN ON HERE! DON'T GO FLASHING YOUR PHONE UNTIL YOUR 100% 1 0 0 % SURE WHAT YOUR DOING! NO OFFENSE BUT YOU DON'T SOUND LIKE YOUR QUITE THERE. THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE WHO CAN HELP IF YOU F*CK UP, BUT THEY MAY NOT HELP YOU CUS THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE TRASHING THEIR PHONES AND EXPECTING PEOPLE TO HELP.
READ EVERYTHING ON HERE AND ONLY WHEN YOUR SURE WHAT EVERYTHING MEANS AND YOU HAVE MADE NANDROID BACKUPS THEN "MAYBE" PROCEED...
