So I tried to update my I9020A and it says it up to date. I have 2.3.4 right now and I just got the phone. Does this model not get the ICS OTA?

Well I have the same model... I don't understand why you would want the stock ICS. It sucks and is slow. Battery isn't it's greatest quality ever. You need to root and install a custom ROM. If you really want the OTA you can root and install it... This phone is supported as far as I know.
Oooh OK. Ill just root and install a custom rom. Thanks!

hi,
I bought rooted Nexus S (i9020t) and turn it to work on CM7.0 (KB3). Now I am tired of waiting for CM7.1 to benefit from 2.3.4 goodies. How do I switch to SupeAosp 8.2-AW + KD1 in the most secure way?
Please note that I never rooted my device or did anything sophisticated besides downloading roms and installing them through RomManager.
Thanks!
You do it the same way you flashed cm7. Using rom manager/clockwork recovery.

I gave up my nexus for my t989 months ago. Gave my nexus s 4g to my gf. Basically I'm out on he loop and don't know what to flash for her. I just need stability. At its best for this phone whether its gb or ics. I'm tired of her complaining about her phone to me lol. She's having volume issues. Overheating issues.. I just need a quick update on what the latest radio for the nexus s 4g is and what rom provides daily driver stability. Thanks for the input fellas.

hi, I've tried most of the roms here on xda.
I've been running for few months (prior to jelly bean) Codename 2.0 ics 4.04.
never had a issue with this ROM, no overheating or other crap.
but u might want to flash some stock, since ur GF is looking for stability.
I'd say go with CM9 RC1. It's been OEM-stable for me without having to go back to stock and it's definitely faster than any stock rom I've ever used.
Well I don't really care for speed. Just need extreme stability lol all she does is text and play elemental and triple town lol what's the latest radio anyways? The last thing I flashed for her was the June 23 cm7 nightly. Which I assumed would be more than good enough as it was what I used to run for a daily driver. But I never updated the radio. She's on d720sprkl2.

I have been using froyo since I bought the phone. I have been resistant to replacing it with a custom ROM because that always led me down a road of instability on past phones but from what I see of ICS, it looks like a very good upgrade.
That being said, the current jelly beans upgrade still has bugs (namely gps) so I was wondering if there are any previous OS replacements of gingerbread or is that are stable and fully functional?

"gingerbread or ICS"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Most stable and completely functional would be GB roms like Emancipation or Aeon.
ICS is also quite stable and functional, except for the 720 video recording being choppy, but if it is something you don't use then this could be the one for you. I would recommend cm9, uniyumaporn or remICS-ux
Sent from my sweet and buttery Infuse
most stable and smooth would be stock samsung gingerbread. but cm9 is also a very good choice(smoother than stock actually but no mhl). and gapps in ics are much improved. voice search in particular is way more usable.
I would suggest Aeon for stability.
There are still a handful of bugs on CM9 and CM10. Nothing that stops us early adopters...
if GPS were fixed JB
For stability I loved Emann. Then switched to uniporn until cm10 got GPS up and running. From my experience, as of now Scotts cm10 8/8 build with 7/26 gapps is running perfect for me. I haven't moved to the 8/10 build yet because I don't have use for the mtd partitioning as of yet. I've always had the mind set of don't change a running system. If new features come out in a later build I will definitely update to it. But right now my phone is running super smooth. With working GPS

Don't go JB for at least a couple months. The builds are unstable and they come frequently.
I would go for Entropy CM9 as even if a new build is released you can just flash it on top with no wipe (keep your apps/settings)

Stock LB3. I use it for stability.

I made the switch to Paranoid Android 4.0.4 ICS a month ago...
Best move I've EVER made.
In my opinion, it works far smoother than stock ever did for my phone. =D
...about to try the Jellybean update... I can't wait!

upgrade from Froyo
Hello All,
I have been using my Froyo Inuse for a long time now, and it is now showing it's age, with more aps not working anymore as they get new versions. Can someone lead me to some instructions about how to go about upgrading from 2.2 Froyo?
Thanks

Go to the development threads and seek your stable rom, stability is up to what you do with your device.
As these threads are way too similar to "best" rom threads, and they always become arguments over what rom is best/stable - This thread is closed.
Hi,
Earlier today I restored my Desire S to factory settings, expecting to receive the OTA update to ISC. However, although the update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 appeared, an update to ICS did not. How can I get the OTA update? My phone is unbranded.
Thanks in advance
That's because the update hasn't been released...yet.
Ah, OK. I was under the impression that it was released in June/July - that's what HTC's update timetable said, wasn't it?
Sent from my Nexus 7
Yep but it's been forwarded to sometime towards the end of this month. It will also depend on your carrier. If you want to be first to receive it your best bet will be through a custom ROM
OK, thanks for the information. I know I could use a custom ROM, but after I nearly bricked my phone attempting to port a Jelly Bean ROM from the Galaxy Nexus, I thought I should maybe go back to stock, for the time being at least. Once the Jelly Bean ROMs become more stable, I'll probably root again and get one of those.
Also, I've heard some people say that once I upgrade to ICS with HTC, I won't be able to root/S-OFF again. Is this true? If it is, I probably won't bother getting the OTA to ICS.
You attempted to port the JB ROM? Man if have that kind if skill, is it hard for you to root and install a ROM?

Have you tried using CM10? It is in alpha stage but it is pretty stable and most features work. Also it is super quick and smooth
Sent from my Desire S using xda app-developers app
No, actually, it isn't to hard for me to root my phone and run a custom ROM. I've been running custom ROMs on my Desire S for the best part of a year now.
@mzr92 No, I haven't tried Cyanogenmod 10. Since it was in alpha stage, I wasn't sure how stable it was. I might just try that out. Thanks for the suggestion.

I am running CM10 because I wanted a taste of jelly bean, but now that jb is being rolled out for the Nexus s 4g I am wondering if it will still do the automatic update from sprint? I would rather use Sprints version of jb for the nexus s 4g. Will the OTA update still be sent to my phone if it is not running the stock rom?
No.

you can use the 7.2 one click tool to return to stock, but make sure to back up all of your aps and data first

Where can I find this, though? I didn't make a copy of it when I started flashing new roms.

But isn't it possible that Sprint made a better running ROM for this phone that CM did? Can I expect the CM Jelly Bean ROMs to get better for the Nexus S 4g because Sprint released their version?
I know my noobness is showing but seriously I am trying

Your choice: stock rom (sprint ota) vs custom rom (cm10). Custom rom gives you more tweaks, enhancements, better battery life, etc...
A little bit of googling for sprint nexus s 4g ics factory images will take you right to the google page with the factory images. After flashing the 4.0.4 image, the jb ota should arrive. Of course read all instructions before flashing, and you will lose all apps/data
