New firmware - HTC Desire S

Ok so what exactly does the new firmware do?
There are some new roms popping up that are based on kernel leak. Some say that firmware fixes certain bugs some say it enhances petformance. What exactly does it do?
Also is it wiser to wait for an official one? If there will be any...

[Q] system update 4.0.4 with teamos 1.0 rom

Hello, i installed the teamos rom stable a week ago, and i'm very surprised to receive what it seems like an official update to 4.0.4. So i have a few questions :
1. Is it safe to accept this update ? I mean without loosing the teamos features ?
2. Could the teamos propose its updates the same way ?
Thank you
1. No. You will end up in a boot loop.
2. They don't have that capability to my knowledge.

Nope. I would not attempt it.
How do we get rid of the update notification if we are running TeamEOS or Other custom ROM?
Yea I am having the same issue with cyanogen. 9 rom. Anyway to bypass it

you need to get the paid version of Titanium Backup and freeze the android updater process to prevent the update notifications.
Edit.. well this worked on my phone to get rid of the notifications.. but i cant find the program that does it on CM9.. so i dont know

Is this for the wifi only model? Has ICS officially come out for the 4G models?
I'm getting the same notification but I cannot find the android update process as mentioned. Any ideas?

I agree the solution would be to upgrade to a 4.0.4 teamos version. Maybe they could tag this as a 1.5 stable So « simple users» like me wouldn't be afraid.
The problem still exists since a new 4.0.5 OTA would cause the same problem......

system update 4.0.4 with teamos 1.0 rom
I would never try to perform an official OTA update after a custom from has been installed. That is just asking for trouble. You also mentioned that you were running team eos's rom. I can tell you first hand experience, I've been a very loyal team EOS from user for my Xoom for several months and typically load every nightly they put out for my model. The reason I point this out, is because most times the developer roms xda are actually much further along than the official updates. The biggest example is the fact that ICS is not available officially from Motorola/Verizon as of yet. Plus you get so many features and functions you will likely not see in the official builds.
Others - feel free to help me explain, agree, disagree, etc....
Good luck,
®obert
I've tried many, and I mean many roms, mods, and themes. Hands down - Team EOS is the single most exciting, knowledgeable, helpful and down right customer oriented in the Android Development groups.

stock rom will not update..

I have a stock xoom wifi us version. It say their is a update available for my system. I go to update it and it go thru the process and then restart. But when it restart it is still on 3.2 and it keep pooping up saying that their is a update available. What is going on is their something I need to do different. Should I just root it and but custom rom on it ?

However, to answer your question, you should just install a custom ROM. They are nicer.

install a custom rom.
Have you ever rooted it, or flashed any custom roms? I think that can interfere with OTA updates.
Either way, all you have to do is install a custom rom. I recommend the EOS ICS 1.0.0 rom. Check it out here.
Nightlies are better and have more features.

No! Nightlies are different
Only use nightlies if you know what it is. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who has difficulties updating his stock rom...
Getting the update message on EOS 1.0.0 now. I will agree this ROM is much better than stock

ICS OTA Update

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.

[Q] Roms and flashing

So I have a few questions. I guess you can call me a novice at this. I have flashed Roms before just put like 4 on my phone and nandroid back up each one to test later.
My question is what does flashing Radios and Kernels do?
I flashed a radio on my inspire once and messed it up.
Also I need some help on flashing CM10 or jellybean ROMS. I wanna try jelly bean and cm 10 out but know nothing about gapps and I don't want a ROM I will have to update weekly. Will I have to with those roms?

You only flash daily to stay on the bleeding edge. Besides, a few days ago CM added an updater which you can tell it how often you want to be notified about an "update". (Weekly, monthly, only stable builds, etc..)
Gapps = Google's proprietary apps like Play Store, Gmail, etc. Can't legally put those into CM due to legal reasons. If you Google "jb gapps", I'm positive you will find what you are looking for .

Oh and also, you should check out the radio thread in the dev section. Has a map and explanations of the radios.

I've seen good words about ParanoidAndroid. Is that one you would recommend?
And I know I've seen you on some Rom forums that you've developed is that right? I can't remember which ones

We can't really give our opinions on the rom because different people will always think different things, as far as my say goes it is an impressive piece of work.

Hello thanks for reply
Can you send me the link to well stable CM7 or ICS rom?also are they different(I'm really dumb in this)?And method to flash.
I'm sorry man but your basically asking me to give you every piece of information necessary in order to flash a custom ROM. All of this information can be found in the stickies of the various G2X forums. It is apparent that you are not quite knowledgeable enough yet for me to suggest that you flash your phone. I suggest reading the stickies and learning everything there is to know about flashing this phone. All of the information is available to you here on this forum. I will however recommend CM7 as it is a stable and newb friendly ROM to start with. I would download the latest weekly at get.cm . As far as flashing methods are concerned you need to use Clockwork Mod Recovery. There are many threads about it and a bundle of information dedicated to CWM Recovery in the stickies of this forum. Please read them.

there's no such thing as stable. You want stable? Stick to 2.3.4.
CM7 is 2.3.4 (or 2.3.3, depending) GB and is absolutely stable. No reason or advantage to staying stock with this device unless blue tooth phone audio is a necessity.
Latest CM7 is 2.3.7... I'm using the March 2013 version.

if it's missing something or something is broken.. IT IS NOT STABLE.

CM7 is absolutely stable as Pain said, and he is right. If you think CM7 is not stable go look up stable in the dictionary. CM7 is not perfect, but very much stable. I also believe its only a baseband issue where CM7 has the Bluetooth issue (old baseband works fine, new one doesn't).

Yeah, Idk why I said that lol, I was thinking about the baseband differences from 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, not the android versions =x
and Eve, it all depends on what you recognize as stable. I don't use nor do I wish to use blue tooth functions for calling purposes. So for me not having that option does not subtract from the "stability" of CM7. I am still able to use bluetooth for media purposes which I rarely do anyway. CM7 offers plenty of customization and options for your phone that you cannot possibly have if it is stock. For a first time user coming from stock software, CM7 will make you feel like you have a brand new device!
