Two questions...
1. Are there any differences between running firmware 3.12 or 3.24 for an ics rom?
Up to this point, I've been staying on 3.12 to allow me to downgrade to gingerbread easily. But i'm wondering if there are advantages to using the 3.24 firmware?
2. Anyone notice that ics has higher latency? With my gingerbread roms i'm somewhere in the neighborhood of 45ms using the speedtest app. My pings around 110ms with the various ics roms out there.
thanks.
3.24 fixes random reboots in many ics roms among other speed improvements
With 3.24 you can also use adb commands.
3.24 is also better because it's a "newer improved" version....
v3.12 is only for sense 3.5 based ROM. Compatible with GB as well as ICS.
V3.24 is only for ICS ( sense 3.5 as well as 3.6 and probably sense 4.0)

I have noticed the higher latency for sure. I was around 85ms and now around 160ms, or higher. This needs to get fixed. Everyone seems to be overlooking it.
If going to ics roms use 3.24 revolutionary

Okay, right now I am running Insertcoin 3.4.6 (Gingerbread 2.3.5) and the first ICS RUU leak. Is there any point of me to flash the latest RUU (leaked yesterday?) since I am running GB? Will it affect the performance negative or positive?
And just to throw another question in, should I flash a new RIL too when I update the firmware, or is it updated automaticly?
Thanks

Hi,
The best radio is the one that works.
If it's working fine at the moment,then leave it alone.
If you intend to install ICS 4.0.3,then you WILL need the latest firmware and radio.
I Need some help.. I'm a bit confused. I Want to try 3.24 firmware based ROMS, but i see i need to upgrade firmware. My question is, can i run GB ROMS on that firmware version?
Thanks!
nope, you can't run GB on that firmware, you'll have to revert back to your old hboot/firmware to run GB again. I was skeptical at first, but couldn't resist. Decided to try ICS, no regrets so far! GB? Hell no, not going back!
Not only can you not run GB roms, but you can't run ICS roms based on the 3.12 firmware. You can always reflash your firmware and downgrade if things don't work out, though.
Hmm.. thanks for answers. I recently became a fan of MIUI (was using 3
.12 ICS Sense before), but Sense 3.6 and the reports that its even more smooth makes me want to try it.

That 3.24 firmware apparently causes some problems with one of the Sensation LCD panels and makes it have a blue tint.
And you can do some 3.24 ROMS on 3.12.
Virtuous Quattro is 3.24 based and I'm running it just fine on 3.12.
Hi All,
I am looking to jump into ICS and am wondering how stable is the lastest 3.24 version or 3.25 vers RUU from HTC?
Can I run the 3.25 LE version on a standard Sensation (non-XE)?
What bugs have been discovered so far?
I dont want to go to a modded version yet, just looking at the original RUUs.
Yes, I have S-Off, unlocked boot etc.
Cheers
Trev.
I am running Android Revolution HD 6.2.1 XE on my TMO US Sensation. Its worked exceptionally well, and I think it is more than stable enough for daily use.

if you choose to try it out, make sure you use the XE version, as the Reg version's browser has some weird flicker going on (they patched the XE one already)

Yes you could Trev.
However do keep in mind that 3.25 ver RUU only only supports Sense 3.6 And above ROMs. Some say even 4.0.3 ASOP roms are not supported.
For bug wise, I don't remember there being bugs in any RUU firmware packages.
As for the above mentioned ARHD 6.2.1,
If you install the Radio, Firmware, Super Wipe & the ROM correctly,
I can guarantee you that it will be smooth like butter.
However I AM facing a particular bug which is me being unable to connect to any other WiFi Spots other than my WiFi Spot that I have used in the first Boot
Configuration. And also, the WiFi Hotspot problem, which can be solved using the Barnacle WiFi Tether From the Android Market.
Cheers
Well yeah, i wanted to go back to what arhd is ( pretty much default sensation) but with tweaks to make it better. I flashed arhd 4.1.13 fully, said no to the t-mobile us, said yes to 1.5ghz and not 1.7ghz, yes to sony bravia support and yes to o/c daemon. But when i pressed reboot it just stayed at the htc screen for 40 minutes and so i tried to flash it again with full battery and it did the same. Any options????
I think you probobly have the wrong firmware. Where you using ICS before? If so just flash a stock ruu or an old hboot to be able to flash GB ROMS

i dont think it is, all other gb roms work for me, sense-o-maniac and miui.
Im on 3.12 firmware, it's compatible with GB roms.

So, the official ICS RUU upgrade is here. I've had some experience with various custom ICS roms, and I found that I love Sense (3.6) and ICS.
Reading the prerequisites and other documentation got me thinking. I hope you guys can answer my questions, or some of them.
1. What does the ICS RUU have over custom ICS roms? I can't imagine anything, except for an updated radio perhaps?
This will help me determine whether I may get the ICS RUU or stay on a custom rom.
2. The prerequisite is having the HBOOT 2.00.2002 bootloader. Plenty links and instructions for backupping and flashing that, that will work.
However, *why* is is necessary to update it? Something to do with the size of the ICS RUU, which leads me to believe that the HBOOT 2.00.2002 is much smaller than my current alpharev 6.98.1002 HBOOT. But AFAIK (in general) bootloaders are quite small..
3. Are the any advantages to the HBOOT 2.00.2002 bootloader? Besides being to install the ICS RUU.
4. Since I'm thinking of updating other parts of my phone besides the OS itself (HBOOT, see point 2) I got thinking about the radio too.
My radio is version RADIO-3805.06.02.03_M
I have very poor reception in some parts of the country where I regurarly am (many weekends per year). Updating to the latest official Radio may give me better reception. Updating to what HTC considers the best radio firmware seems like a good idea, right?
Is this the wrong forum to ask these questions?

WiFi Hotspot is working.
Not everybody cares, I know, but I do.

Let's see... no need to go the X-Clip route to root your phone, just do an unlock and that's it.
You should do your research first as almost all has already been answered.
1. ICS that came out is official from HTC. That means its more stable, faster, and less buggy from their eyes. And may also be true if compared to other Custom ROMs. Its a matter of preference and ROM testing to see the differences.
2. The untouched ICS ROM also works for HBOOT v2.00.002 (came from Sense 3.0 release, Gingerbread). The HBOOT v2.02.002 (came from Sense 3.6 release, Ice Cream Sandwich) is an updated version of the latter. There maybe great changes, or maybe not. I have not seen any changelog from the net. Based on my experience, HBOOT from ICS does not want the System/Lib partition to be formatted via ROM flash from recovery. But the HBOOT from the GB can.
3. Not known yet. See number 2.
4. Yes and no. Yes, because HTC wants you to use the radio that is included from the RUU as they see fit that that is the best for its ROM. No, because some ROMs or its developers, same as HTC, prefers certain radios to be used, that is if you plan to use custom ROMs. Regarding your reception, the Desire S has already been found to have a lesser or weaker reception compared to other phones. Even older Nokia phones sometimes are better from it. Depends on your area as well.
