Hey everybody. I've very recently flashed the sense-o-maniac 3.5 ROM onto my HTC sensation but currently when i'm fiddling around in settings I see no option for checking for any updates. Will I ever recieve the update or will I have to put it back to stock or flash a fake version of ICS? Please Help.
If you want the official updates via OTA yes, you will have to get your phone back to stock, but the ICS you get by flashing a rom is, usually as good as the "official" one.
P.S: The roms are not "fake" ICS, are just ICS, pure android straight from what google releases

Should I root my phone first before upgrading to 2.2 or upgrade first then root?
If you're talking about the Over The Air (OTA) update that was announced, you should only upgrade with that if you don't want to root or customize anymore. For the moment, that OTA will take away root if you have it and you won't be able to get it back (for now).
If you're talking about upgrading to 2.2 using one of the ROMs posted here on XDA, then you need to root your phone in order to have the option to flash one of those onto your Aria.

Thanks that was very helpful! I'm going to root first them upgrade with one of the 2.2 ROMs here. I didn't know an OTA 2.2 update was out for the Aria already.
Well, it is and it isn't... it's available for non-branded Arias. AT&T hasn't released their version of the 2.2 update for the Aria, but when they do it will break your root access if you install it. At least temporarily. There's really no reason to use the official updates unless you need to return your Aria for some reason. Otherwise, you'll have more features using the custom ROMs here.
With the 2.2 upgrade for the Aria, were there any advancements on Adobe Flash?

No since this is an HTC Sense ROM, it still uses HTC Flash Lite just like the original ROM did. The Aria processor is not currently supported by Adobe Flash 10.x.
ok so I got a question. I have an ATT aria can I get the HTC 2.2 rom on my phone and then root my phone?
No, at the moment you can't. If you install the HTC OTA update you will lose root and be unable to get it back until one of the devs figures it out again. There are, however, plenty of Froyo ROMs to choose from, so you really don't need the HTC update to get 2.2.
Edit: Nevermind, looks like I spoke too soon. See this thread:

Currently, the two Froyo (Android 2.2) contenders for the Aria are CyanogenMod 6.1 and Liberated FR008.
Cyanogen offers a more unedited Android product with access to all sorts of settings and customization options. Liberated is more of a stock HTC Sense version of Android. Both ROMs are pretty much the creation of XDA member Attn1 who spends a ton of time developing for the Aria and here on the boards answerings questions.
The cool thing is that once you have rooted your Aria and installed Clockwork Mod Recovery, you can make a Nandroid back-up which will save your current setup along with all of your settings so that you can freely install these ROMs knowing that you can always safely return to your back-up if you don't like it. It's very... liberating!
Here is the announcement and link I wont be downloading however but I cant wait for a cooked version of this. I LOVE my cooked stock rom
http://www.androidcentral.com/gingerbread-update-htc-inspire-4g-now-ready?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+androidcentral+%28Android+Central%29&utm_content=FaceBook
so if you are running pure stock this update will load gingerbread over the stock froyo ?
Yes...if you are running pure stock (not rooted stock but straight up untouched) then yes, it will install GB over Froyo. If you're rooted it will still do the same thing except kill your root access also.
We dont need more then one thread about this.

So I guess you can wait for an RUU that either supports ICS or can be OTA'd to ICS. OR, install an ICS compliant custom ROM which IMHO will be available prior to that. I guess it depends on source code availability though.

Hi,
ICS is not available yet.
When it does become available for the Sensation,the devs will make a ROM which you can flash on your s-off phone.
People are working on a port,as we speak.
You can follow their progress HERE.
MIUI China is working on it too I think they are going to try to have it done by Christmas. CM squad will be working on it too.
I have samsung Nexus S I have root it and have updated to ICS aosp from your site, now want to know can stay on same to received offical OTA from google or should i roll back to Gingerbread & unroot my phone receive it.....please help
same here
If you want to get the official google update, then you have go back to the official stock rom 2.3 that was on your nexus S, ICS is totally another thing.
Can u tell me how do i do that???
I am sorry but I do not own a Nexus S, you will need to go to the nexus S forum, and read how to unroot your phone and reinstall your stock rom.
Thanks dude.
I know you are new, but next time HIT THE BUTTON THANKS, we avoid unecessary posts...
Yes, you have to downgrade to official stock gingerbread rom, and wait for the OTA update. Good luck.
Hello everyone,
I just had a quick question since I didn't find my answer on the Forums.
Is it possible to install stock Google ROM for HTC Raider? I want to update my phone to ICS, but I phone to keep my phone stock, I guess I want it to be like Galaxy Nexus with OTA capabilities
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

I'm afraid that unless there's an official release for the Raider then you can't have both. You obviously can't have a stock custom ROM (contradiction in terms). I think you're going to have to just accept a custom ROM and go down the CM9 route when that's available.
Thanks for the reply. I will wait for HTC to release the update. I hope it will be sometime in March.
