Making the leap from GB to ICS??

This is mainly for the people who've made the jump from GB to any current ICS rom, biggest question is: was it worth it?
I've read up on all the steps and understand the firmware changing, but am still very hesitant to make the change. Some of my largest concerns:
1. after changing to the new firmware do I also need to change my radio and/or ril's to match a specific rom?
2. do the benefits of ICS outweigh the bugs and drawbacks?
For me, my priorities are having good picture quality, a working video camera, working wifi, and above all else having GOOD and QUICK gps lock.
Would any of the ICS roms be better or worse for me to try given my listed priorities?
My final question, I currently have 1.17 hboot, if I flash the new firmware and decide I want to go back to GB is it a simple process to just re-flash 1.17?

1. Radio is in the new firmware, RIL is in ICS ROMs already.
2. Yes, with latest builds there are virtually no bugs and they are fast and stable for daily drivers
If you want to flash back to GB you will just have to reflash firmware for GB

1- the radio is included in the firmware.
2- Yes. I haven't encountered many bugs or any drawbacks.
3- Yes, you just have to flash the old firmware and and GB ROM

The switch to ICS is worth it.
Better performance, better battery life, better appearance.
I haven't run into serious bugs.

OP, at this stage I'm going to wait for the official release, it shouldn't be far away now.

Just got my sensation last night and put Virtuous Inquisition on it straight away and I'm in love. Highly suggest making the upgrade.

I have no clue why there are even GB ROMs still even out there. ICS is working flawlessly and it's better than GB in pretty much every way. Mindboggling how people still use them.
Better battery life is the biggest plus IMO.

THIS!
IMHO there is absolutely no comparison between ICS and GB.It's like day and night.

You're all pretty convincing, maybe I'll actually try it out tonight. Have any of you gone back to GB after being on ICS? From all I've read it doesn't seem too complicated, just flash 1.17 back and I'm back to where I started, right?
EDIT:
I know two of you already told me the radio is included in the new firmware, but why does ARHD have links to both the firmware and the radio? I'm confused?

What version of ICS are you running?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

I would never go back to GB after having ICS (rmk40) with the latest firmware for 3 weeks!

Are you on Inquisition? No issues and all working?

I'm in the process of updating to Virtuous Inq. but I already have a question. The firmware I downloaded from Virtuous site but it says it's 1.23 in bootloader, is this the older firmware? Should I have used a different firmware?

its worth it simply from a battery life and GUI acceleration standpoint
from a speed standpoint, the biggest thing you can do is getting rid of Sense

Well, so far things are not going all that smoothly. I managed to get new firmware installed and installed virtuous inq but titanium backup is not being allowed root access. Any ideas??

Open super user.and.make sure you have the latest binary installed.
For good measure restart phone.

Ok, so I understand the process of flashing the firmware and installing a new ics rom.
What I don't get is how to go back to a GB rom, I am going to flash the 3.24 firmware so once I wanna go back what are the exact steps to use?
Flash old 1.17 firmware, go to recovery, use superwipe, then restore nandroid back up or what? Just wanna make sure do I don't brick my phone going back to GB, just in case I don't like the new ICS roms lol.
Thanks for any help!

Which ICS rom is best???

Looking to get a few opinions from ppl that flash multiple roms to their devices. Looking for something that is stable, not overclocked, and has the least amount of reported issues. Thanks in advance!!

i am currently using insertcoin 4.6.1 and it is very stable and fast also without overclocking it

Android Revolution HD is great, very fast, very stable and I've had no issues so far.

The Android Revolution HD ICS is a really good ROM. I just recently flashed it and love it. It's fast and stable. I performed the benchmark test with the ROM and came up around 2900-3000 compared to the previous 1900s.

I will second Insertcoin. The only issue is the inbuilt WiFi tether being broken, but I believe that is an issue with ALL current ICS roms. Barnacle works wonders.

Flashing Android revolution as we speak.. I thought it was supposed to give an option to select 1.2 or 1.5?

InsertCoin and ARHD are both extremely popular options. My suggestion is to try them both and see which one works best for you. Give each one a few days to get the kinks worked out and always make sure you do a full backup and Super Wipe every time you change ROMs!

I had the same thoughts as you when I was using Clockwork Mod to flash roms, it never asked anything about the install. Now, I use Touch Recovery and I have yess/no options when I flash roms now

Its really difficult to find a fully compatible ROM for your phone, as what happen to mine tried the popular one which i got a lot of issues some people not, so I tried other. Every ROM's claiming fast/stable. To be fair you can to try each for yourself which I did and happy with what i have now. Different people have thier own choices depends on what their need. Go out and explore there now 44+ ROMS you can narrow down which is more popular and depends on their feedbacks. Goodluck.

If you would like to try non-sense I recommend miui v4 or either CM9 kang. I've had zero issues with either.

ENERGY ROM is very stable, fast, and also lightly themed...... overall an extremely smooth ICS ROM...give it a try....you wont regret

blackICE is the best from all aspects
bigpercaso has created a ROM which is the best by performance stability and on top of all the ROM is themed so beauty ................

Yeah, it will ask you but only if you have installed 4Ext recovery instead of clock work mod. In my experience 4Ext is a much more complete recovery.

But super cid is not needed.
No issues so far and hotspot works perfectly.

insertcoin rom is the best for me

I've been running Android Revolution HD 5.3 since January. This was my first experience with a non-stock android device as I bought the device configured in that way. I was very happy with it, but couldn't get HTC Sync to transfer my contacts and found it a little laggy, other then that it was great. The best advice I was given to fix my issue was to reload/update the ROM. Mike actually uploaded his latest version 6.4.0 while I was downloading 6.3.1 so I scrapped that and went with 6.4.0 since it was based on the Final HTC RUU 3.32.401.3.
Its only been a day so its not much of a test, but so far its way better and faster then the old ROM even when it was fresh. HTC sync worked flawlessly. the response time is as close to instant as you can get. You need to use 4ext recovery to have the option to use the 1.5Ghz kernel or load the Sony Bravia engine. I chose both options and have seen no issues, only improvements.
Like everyone said its really your taste so try out a few varieties, just remember to superwipe between them else you might find bugs that aren't really an issue with the ROM but because you didn't clear all the old data.
All the best and have fun.

Installing AOKP

Hi everyone, this is my first post in the sensation forums. Here is my question. A friend of mine has the sensation in stock form and wants to me to install AOKP on it. I've been reading up on how to get s-off and installing cwr. Now I have a vibrant and if on a stock or froyo rom installing a cm7 rom is recommended prior to installing any ics rom to get partitions and such correctly. Is there a rom that needs to be flashed before I can flash his sensation with the aokp rom or is it safe to flash straight from stock rom. Thanks in advanced.
Sent from tapatalk V2 B6 from ics powered vibrant

The process goes basically like this:
A) Unlock the bootloader by means of Revolutionary.io
B) Root the Stock Rom
C) Flash 4EXT recovery from the APK downloaded at 4ext.net
D) Download the 3.32 unlocked firmware from the dev thread.
E) Put firmware PG58IMG file on root of SD card and hit up the bootloader, apply firmware.
F) Remove firmware file from SD card so you can get to 4EXT recovery from the bootloader.
G) Put rom on SD card, reboot into recovery, flash rom.
Only one problem is that AOKP isn't really supported, or 100% ready to roll on this device. Virtuous Inquisition or ARHD + Shnizlon's AOSP mod is a much more stable, feature-packed approach.

Thanks sshede, that's a pretty good tut you wrote for me there. And I'll definitely search and look into the roms you recommend. And also time for me to start downloading all those files and the drivers for his phone. I probably won't mod his phone till this weekend so it will give me more time to do my reading up. Thanks once again.

Lol wut. Aokp is faster, more stable and smoother than VI. I have been using it for like 1 month without a single reboot. Only few bugs (480p camcorder) that don't affect the experience at all. Give it a try, you will think CM is a joke after using AOKP's ROM Control (which is a compilation of a LOT of tweaks/mods/etc).

Totally subjective. Some people prefer 480p because it doesn't use nearly as much space. Bluetooth isn't 100% functioning either. It may not bother you, but some people need them. And I've tried my fair share of both Sense and AOSP-based roms, nothing is more stable than Sense-based roms right now. All the drivers are straight from HTC, nothing's been patched together.

Yes. The main problem I had with VI was the random black screen of death. Had to pull battery away every couple days as the phone wouldn't turn back on. That's why I don't like that ROM.
And, well, its personal preferences

Looking for OC kernel and/or best modded stock rom?

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a kernel that lets me overclock but I haven't been able to find one that people have commented on recently. I am using the stock rom now, but I would be ok with a modded stock rom with overclocking if anyone knows of any that are 100% stable with the 1080p camera.
I really liked CM9 from korny and TeamDS and I tried CM7 too but it's forgotten. I liked the 1.7ghz that I could do on the ICS rom and would love that in a super stable semi-stock rom.
So if anyone remembers one that was really good and lets you overclock, I'd love to try it out. Thanks all.

Use Rubix ICS from Rootzwiki. Its as AOSP as stock can get. At the end of the post there's a file called Rubix ICS 5.3, its not flashable. Open it, then flash the files inside. If you want me to, I'll host the file. Also the flashable for Stock camera as Rubix uses the CM7 camera. Kernel wise, all stock ones are gone. I have an UV/OC stock kernel from blue. I can host that file too for you. If you ask strapped he might give you one of his 1.7ghz OC kernel. But that's very iffy.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Rubix ICS isn't a stock-based ROM and is rather old, not sure why people still recommend it because there are too many instabilities for my taste. YMMV. I like the MikTouch ROM. It is a tweaked/optimized stock ROM, based on the latest HTC ROM (1.63.531.2) so EVERYTHING works perfectly, no surprises. He also has several kernel options with OC up to 1.7GHz. Right now, IMO, it is the best available ROM for the MT4GS.

I used the rom for quite some time. It was quite stable for me, but I had a nasty battery drain which I dealt with until Inquisition came out.

It's based off his Rubix Nonsense which is on XDA. Which is a senseless rom based off the shipped rom. How else would a non-stock Rom have TV-Out working perfectly? You think he was that good of a Dev? Xo Stock camera, which only worked on his sensation port because somebody ported are camera to the sensation. I mean seriously! Its based off stock. There was no AOSP source, all of Rommans tweaks are in there. Looks at blues tweaks, are they not the same as Rubix ICS 5.3? It's not even ICS, it's gingerbread. He just tried hard to get it as AOSP looking as possible. Even when you boot it has the DS lockcreen. Stock messaging as a flash able which needs stock Framework to work. I could go on forever! Wheres Blue when you need him XO

I think he was referring to GB stock rom like Mik or Bulletproof. All the links were taken down for Bulletproof OC and like the guys said the one for stock/Mik rom has issues. It sucks after all the testing I've done and all the work strapped365 put into it... the bugs weren't ever ironed out Maybe Blue can put his back up if the source stuff gets situated ever. Plus, CM9 Alpha 6 is coming soon and might fix most bugs left included full res for cam etc which would eliminate the need for GB kernels and roms.

You had issues with the Miktouch 0.7 ROM? That has been the most stable ROM I've ever run on this phone. Everything works like it is supposed to since it is an optimized version of the latest HTC rom, 1.63.531.2. The only issue I had was with some of the optional OC/UV kernels.

I think I know what happened with those camera flash limits on that last tester kernel... it's probably due to mine not being S-Off.

Yeah it makes sense cause in one of the many oc kernels I built I had changed it and used the camera down to 12% and then flashed just a stock kernel and instantly got the flash warning.
But then again it could have been that was the only change I made to the Stock source, who knows all I know is dual core kernels are nothing like the speedy ones I have done, I can do them with my eyes closed and their stable. Maybe I could make a kang bang kernel and just kang what was released last year just for the sake of oc/uv but I don't even feel right doing a direct replica of someones old kernel that's no longer support us

Is there any 100% stable rom available for Desire S?

There is nothing in the whole wide world nobody is complaining about.

ICE_DS 4.3 (fully working!)
Fallout (not 100%, missing wifi tethering, but every single other thing works).
Hope this helps!

you mentioned ICE_DS 4.3 (fully working!) can you send me the link from where i can get the guide and download it? I've stock 2.3.5 on my Desire S with Sense 3.0, thanks!

try it yourself.
Don't let other ppl's preference determine what suites you, if I ever did that then i would be stucked at rom A, and i wouldnt even bother to try rom B.
Even though i read that there were many issue with rom C i still tried it out, and the issues they mention didn't appear in my phone. So my current rom is now rom D.
So then rom B had an update, so i back-up my current rom then restore rom B then updated it. I didnt like it so i went on to try rom E which was one of the lattest developement.
Take ur time to try it all, because once u tried everything u will get bored as i am now and just waiting for the lastest update to come.

I'm pretty conservative when it comes to changing ROMs.
I know that CyanogenMod 7 comes with integrated OpenVPN and WiFi tethering if I recall correctly. I consider these two features as quite desirable. I assume that Endymion and Reaper have that too as they are based on CM7, right? Apparently, Reaper is not based on the stable CM 7.2 release but then, on the other hand, it has been advocated as very stable. So, why has the developer then promised a final release?
I'm scared of losing my apps and data when changing ROMs. What ways do you guys use to ensure that your can restore everything to working order after you've flashed your new ROM?

Does the free version of TB suffice?
Any recommendable TB beginners guides out there?

yes, perfectly good enough. You just won't have the batch function. But it's easy to use and has a simple ui. I will say this though, if your going to be flashing roms regularly then it is more than worth paying for the full app, I paid for tb and Rom manager on the day I unlocked my bootloader, and haven't once thought that maybe I shouldn't have

Well, in that case, stock Rom suits best for u. IMHO, the loveliest part of Rom developing is that someone found issues and someone trying to fix it. That's what Android Dev really is. And I enjoy using all kinds of Roms developed by those awesome HTC Saga developers. Every Rom has some bugs, and it doesn't matter if they don't affect your daily use.

I don't agree with that.
I had to disable the SIM-code, because every couple of days, my HTC crashed and Restarted.
(if you don't know that, you don't get call's because of the simcard-code).
That was the reason I bought a new smartphone (xperia U).
Since the HTC was in my desk-drawer, I began to experiment with rooting/changing ROM
Now I have fall-out for 2 weeks now, and my phone hasn't crashed 1 time.
So for me, custom ROMS are more stable than the stock one. (and faster, smoother, ...)
It just feels like a whole new phone.

Anybody knows witch ROM is the best for Battery Life ?
It should be ICS and Sense 4.0 ... At the Moment i have the "Project X" installed

Try ice ds...I am getting on an average close to four hours of screen time on a full charge...that's the max I have ever gotten on any Rom ics or gb...
