You can install that rom, but you'll need to learn a little bit about android, bootloader and so. You'll have to boot to the recovery and flash your current system with that one. Make a nandroid backup first. On Nexus S forum you'll have guides about this

"flashing a ROM" means replacing the stock operating system that came with the phone with a custom one.
It can always be totally undone by flashing the stock ROM back on the phone.
flashing a custom ROM has many advantages such as putting Sense on a phone that didn't come with it or putting AOSP (stock android like the Nexus phones) on HTC devices that ship with Sense.
If you follow directions you're usually safe doing it.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Well..I am currently using a generic (not branded) HTC Sensation with the Gingerbread 2.3.4 stock ROM. I was previously using a SE Xperia X8 so I'm quite a noob to the Sensation ..
So, I want to install a custom ROM to my phone and have been doing a lot of reading to get hold of a point from where to start. But, still I am quite confused as for what should I do prior to installing a custom ROM..For instance I can relate that for the X8, I first had to root the phone, unlock the bootloader, install a nAa kernel and finally install a custom ROM. But, even after doing a lot of reading, I still cannot find such a sequence (maybe I haven't done enough reading ) for the Sensation. I am so confused with S-On and S-Off, clockwork, unlocking and SuperCID and all those stuff .
So I would really appreciate if someone can help me out and tell me what should I do to install a custom ROM to my phone from the beginning.
P.S. - I searched for threads related to this topic but was not quite satisfied with the answers I got. That's why I thought of posting a new thread. Hope I haven't violated any thread rules.
Sorry for being such a noob
And thanks in advance!

1. You shoud unlock your phone and get s-off first
2. Flash custom recovery and backup your phone data first (use custom recovery)
3. Flash adequate firmware
4. Flash the custom rom.
There are very clear guides in the Sensation android development forum. You can find enough information and files there. Good luck and enjoy your phone flashing!

Just a little question, don't I have to unlock the bootloader prior to or when following these steps? or is it already included in these steps??

So my friend rooted my phone for me and installed a custom rom that supports a language I needed (arabic).
It turns out that the 4.0 carries that language and I have been having a lot of problem with the current rom. If I want to upgrade to 4.0 how can go on with this?
Also, I would like to stay rooted because from what I understand, if I am rooted the phone is unlocked and I am planning on going overseas for a month and so it would be nice to have a unlocked phone with me.
I really appreciate all the help guys thanks!
First of all, there is no stock 4.0, unless you mean ICS 4.0.x. Because of the vague information, I assumed you meant sense 4.0.
Second of all, you need to provide some info, and why can't your friend fix it for you? I have no idea what's currently on your phone. If you're running gingerbread, then you'll have to do a firmware update + rom update. You've provided us the fact that your friend put a rom on there for you. That does not help one bit. What rom? and again, why can't he fix it? Normally, it's pretty easy to update the rom, there are tons of instructions provided in the forums. I would suggest looking around. The only hard part for you may be the firmware updating... Since you appear to have no idea what rom you're running, myself and others won't know how to help at all. You want to update to this "4.0" with little to no information provided. Fyi, phone rooted does not mean the phone is unlocked. You'll have to double check that, Good luck!
ps. your title is even more confusing. Are you getting the 4.0 OTA and asking if it's okay to update? or are you asking HOW to update? I'm assuming you're asking how to update lol
Ermm, this type of question (correcting: exactly this question) had been asked (and answered) a couple of times

I apologize for being vague here are info on my phone.
I am on Android Version 2.3.7
Baseband version: 10.56.9035.00
Kernal Version 2.6.35.13_CyangenMod+
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-SelfKANG10-Sensation
Build Number: GRJ22
I am trying to update to the new version which is ICS for my sensation. I am not sure if it's out or not though.
I guess my question is:
Do I have to unroot my phone to use ICS?
if not, can you please point me to where I can follow a guide to do this?

Since you are unsure of what you are doing, I wouldn't advise you to try since you do run the risk of "Bricking" your device if something goes wrong - Your Choice!
Having stated that, if you really do want to install ICS:
1. Install firmware 3.32 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
2. Install a CUSTOM Recovery.
3. Choose your ROM - There are a few Sense 3.6 ROMs but no Sense 4.0 with no bugs (FAIK).
You should really Search the Development thread and choose a ROM which suits YOU as everyones needs/wants are slightly different. Most ROMs tell you what you need to install and there already guides on how to do it.
You could follow the guide from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298

ROOTING only unlocks the ability to change files stored anywhere on the phone, you need to SIM UNLOCK if you intend to use a different carrier or possibly in a different country. There is a thread in development on how to do this for free too!!!
Hope this helps

Not sure why you'd want to do this, when you can just install a room based off of the official release like ARHD. You'd retain root and also get all the awesome features included in the ROM that HTC won't add in there.

I've also heard of phones being severely bricked after updating from stock. Actually, I've worked on them. They were galaxy s prevails, though

Not on the phone in your signature - this is the Desire S (Saga) forum, not the Desire (Bravo) one.
Hey SimonTS, thanks for your Reply. I know that this is the Saga Forum.
Sorry I didn't describe the Problem in the first Threat accurately . I own a Desire (Bravo) (as it is in the signature)
The Problem I have is related to the Desire S of my girlfriend. She has installed the RUU update and is not being happy with it. Since I have not dealed with the saga, I wanted to ask if it's possible to remove the update. As far as I know the bootloader will be changed while the update. Is it possible to unlock it?

I'd suggest you have a read through the Index Sticky first.
There should be no reason at all why you can't downgrade her phone, put a Custom ROM (either GB, ICS or JB) on it etc etc - but how you do it will all depend on the current state of the phone of course.
