Hi guys, I'm looking for a ROM for my HTC Desire which could receive the OTA update notification once HTC releases the new ICS official version.
Now I have it with superkid's Andromadus build.
What do you think? Should I restore the official 2.3.5 in order to receive the official OTA when released? Or may I use something better till this happens?
Thanks!!!
Fallout with sense 4.0 and Virtuous Sense 4.0 Full are the best ROMs you can use, as OTA has only sense 3.6
choice is your

For both ROMs - WiFi Theter only works with Adhoc
And: there will be no "OTA update notification" with this ROMs because they are newer (Sense4) than our update (only Sense 3.6)
But it's not clear IF we will get an OTA or a ruu - so flash Fallout if you do not need other than Adhoc-hotspot - and be happy.
You can also flash the leaked Sense3.6 to compare with the 4.0 (and than you will not longer wait for the official update but for the source code for the devs)

you don't want to deal with official OTA because it'll never work on a custom rom. and if it did it would brake your root. so forget about it! the same day that it'll be released you can go to xda forum and get yourself a rooted version of it or whichever customized version based on it your heart could imagine. so, don't panic!
Ok, ok, I understand your opinions, as are the same that mine BUT, I'm giving the phone to my cousin and believe me when I say that she won't be looking for updates at XDA when (if) HTC finally release the official OTA update..
And of course I don't want to be such a tech service for this phone forever, and custom ROMs are always improving new versions, etc.. but there is always a bug to deal with.
I have been using Fallout for the last month, best ROM right now for the Desire S, but without wifi tether.. I can't give her the phone with it.
I think I'll return the phone to stock ROM and if HTC finally give us an ICS update, I'll install the RUU and forget about more mods to the phone.
Thank you all!!
You can also get ice-ds 4.2 as that will be almost the same as the expected OTA.

Hi,
If you are using custom roms, you cannot receive htc updates.
Why do you want them?
Most devs get the updates before htc release them, and put them into the new roms.
If you guys remember we got the sense 3 update leaked long before we expected it. I wonder if this will be the same for the ICS update. Anyone wonder if we will get a stable rom before the official release
It depends. We need people to leak the ruu

I rooted my DS and am running Lowveld's excellent Reaper rom, when the HTC ICS update comes out, will I be able to get it over the air or will I need to wait for someone to upload it here........?

You won't get an official HTC OTA update on a rooted phone with a Custom ROM... and if somehow you do manage to get one while on a Sense ROM, DO NOT flash it... you'll end up in a bootloop.
As far as getting to use it, you'll get it on XDA much before people on stock ROMs (if history is anything to go by...). Hell, I think you might be running Sense 4 before HTC decides to give you Sense 3.6 officially.
Google search for details.

Yeah I think we will get 4.0 before 3.6!
I'm sure the RUU for the One V will be out before our RUU for ICS.
Can't wait

Hi
I have been running ARHD 4.1.13 for about 6-8 weeks and seeing as o2 or HTC send out updates for stock ROMS I was wondering if nonstock ROMS had updates available?
Just to check, you'd like to know whether custom ROM's have been updated to new versions sent out by HTC or your provider?
If so, I don't think so.
Edit: I assumed you meant Gingerbread ROM's, otherwise Moon2 is right. There has been ICS ROM's released.

There have been many updates since then, the 6.4.0 series of ARHD is now based on leaked htc ice cream sandwich roms.
When the OTA update for ICS drops, will there be a way to root and S-OFF with Revolutionary like there is for Gingerbread? Or will flashing the currently available firmwares be necessary? I'm not sure how the update process will work, as far as these things. I guess my question is: How would I root and S-OFF when ICS drops for Sensation 4g users? Thanks in advance.
Prob not right away.
Remember if you do choose to recieve the stock ics ota that you need to flash the stock recovery or you will end with a brick. Someone please correct me if i am wrong.
But with upgraded FW 3.30 and roms such as virtuous and ARHD ICS theres really no need to update to the official ics. I do understand if you want the official ics though.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, I've been trying to decide whether to go back to full stock (S-ON, etc.) and go the OTA way or just do it with the user-friendly firmwares, but I'm pretty hesitant to do the latter because of the chance of bricking. How likely is the chance of a mistake somehow being made, even if the appropriate steps are taken? I mean, I've seen all these threads with people seemingly doing it right but still ending up with bootloops, so I'm quite apprehensive about the whole thing.
Edit: Also, is the final ICS firmware backwards compatible with Gingerbread ROMs, by any chance?
Na. Ics has to run on 3.24 fw and up

You shouldn't end up with a brick if you don't have the stock recovery. I had the real stock experience Rom android 2.3.3 and when I did the software search it found the android 2.3.4 update. I downloaded it but all it says is you have made modifications to your phone...the update won't work.
Also. There is currently NO information whatsoever if revolutionary will update, and if it will support the sensation at all. If it did though I could fix my phone. Personally I'd go for the newest arhd although I can't. It's better than the official will be, I'm guessing that after a week or two sense will start to crash again. No matter what HTC have said.
I did the same as Sensation Lover. Coming from a stock 2.3.4, S-OFF and rooted. After the update completed it just stuck at the HTC splash screen upon reboot.
I just ended up reflashing the 1.50 TMO RUU and then did the update. I was S-OFF before the update via HTC Dev and that stayed.
If you are soff dont go back to son for the update. Like others have already said. You can flash the stock recovery then just use ota with soff. If you decide you want to root it'll be pretty simple

hey guys.
i decided to wait a few weeks to update to the Android 4.0 Update (ruu). currently im using Gingerbread 2.3.5 (not root, no customrom) and i think its ok.
you people who have installed the Android 4.0 Ruu Update, if you got another chance to update from 2.3.5 to the Ruu 4.0 , would u do it or not?
after some weeks of testing and exp. 4.0 , u think its better than gingerbread?
thanks

ICS is better than GB but it will be a bit slower. Try Reaper custom rom

I updated to the 4.0.4 ruu and I wasn't too impressed by sense 3.6. I have been trying to find ways to get back to gingerbread but I can't find any.
why not go directly to jellybean?

There isn't a huge amount of difference between the two os's but I found the new UI actually worse than before and a little bit slower. However you do get a bunch of new features like face unlock and more. It's a difficult one but I think ICS just about wins as it is a little nicer and more fun to use.
