Is there a way to have the 2.20 rom but with Sense 4.1?
My first HOX came with 2.20 and it ran sooo good, no lag, super smooth,, not a single issue,,, but... no root.
So now I had tried all the Custom ROMS available for the HOX and none of them are running as smooth as the 2.20 was. so my question is..
is there a way to have 2.20 and sense 4.1? I searched and only found 2.20 but 2.20 comes with sense 4.0.
thanks
No, either wait for the official 4.1 release or try a custom Rom
If you also would search the changelog for sense 4.1 it brings the speed improvements that your talking about.

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

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.
Hello
Is there any major difference of fix between the two roms? I'm running cleanrom 5 and its 2.20 and everything works n good but i was just looking at the website and i saw there is a 2.29 build number but still ICS. Is there any major update in it or i just stick with the 2.20 because everything i use works right now and have no problems with it
CleanROM 5 is actually built on 2.29, not 2.20 like your phone says. So in that regard just leave it as is.

Hi Folks! I am completely new to XDA as well as all the android stuff, I used to be on Nokia before Forgive me if I have posted in the wrong section...
Basically I managed to upgrade my HTC Desire S to ICS 4.0.4 using the RUU on HTCDev.com. Having used it for about a month now, I want to go back to Gingerbread 2.3.5 Sense 2.1 as it is much easier on the battery as well as being much smoother to run. My problem is that from the shippedromes.com site, there are several gingerbread ruu's available, so out of this list (these are all europe), which one do i choose for Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 2.1?:
1. RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe
2. RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe
3. RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
4. RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed.exe
5. RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe
To me they all look the same but obviously there is some difference as they have different numbers in their file names.
Thanks in advance!
The trouble is you can't just flash a ruu version lower than the one running on your device (downgrade), because by default you can just upgrade.
See this thread for the procedure to downgrading.

Be careful as you will probably lose your warranty doing this!

Thnx for your quick reply,
My phone is already over 1 year, so warrenty is is gone anayway I think!
I understand the procedure to downgrade my phone, such as changing the HBOOT, unlock bootloader, S-off, revolutionary, clockwork recovery etc. But when it comes to actually installing/flashing the Gingerbread RUU, which RUU should I used? I wan to downgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.5 (the one that shipped with the phone originally) with Sense 2.1. I'm in the U.K, and my phone is unbranded. It is also currently running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 with Sense 3.6. If you could inform me which RUU I should use from the list in my first post I will be very grateful.
Thnx again
The ruus with 2.10 at the beginning are definitely sense 3.0, I don't know which sense version 1.47 and 1.28 ruus are, but 1.28 will be the oldest.

Thanks alot! I think I will flash 1.28 first and see what it is. If not, I will probably flash 1.47 instead, which should be possible without anymore tinkering as it's a higher RUU.
And I definitely don't want Sense 3.0, I would rather stay on ICS then!
Thanks again for the quick answers!
There was never Sense 2.1 for this phone to begin with. Sense 3.0 is the earliest you can get.
This makes your question, well, void.
Any Gingerbread RUU will be fine.
1.28 is Sense 2.1.
1.47 is the same but with some fixes. I suggest to go with this.
The rest higher versions are with Sense 3, except the ICS RUU of course

make sure u get the lowest version to get Hboot 0.98.0000 in order to proceed with the revolutionary to root ur device , if u have problem with scanoob post with the misc version let me know , his one doesnt work , i got working misc to downgrade the hboot.
I know it sounds kind of silly to be going back DOWN sense, but I really loved the Serene theme that Sense 4.1 had, it brings me nostalgia from first getting my One X. Sense 4+ removed it and I wanna mess with it again.
I tried searching through threads but almost every ROM now is using Sense 4+ or Sense 5. I don't mind if it's a bit outdated, I just want to go back to a Sense 4.1 Rom. Are there any versions of ViperXL that ran on 4.1? Or any other Rom? Thanks in advance.

That ROM is for the quad core version (ENDEAVORU).
Yeah....thats for the quad-core, I don't wanna mess up my phone.
But after some more searching, I found out that the 2.x.x versions of ViperXL use Sense 4.1 but they run on ICS. Is it safe to downgrade from Jellybean back to Ice Cream Sandwich? I flashed a new radio and wouldn't want any compatibility problems....
And are there any Jelly Bean versions of Sense 4.1? Or is Jelly Bean exclusive to Sense 4+?

To answer your first question, you should be fine to downgrade unless you aren't s-off with hboot under 1.14 then you have to flash boot.img but you should be good. To answer your second question I believe 4.1 is only ICS.

You might try installing the standalone apk first... https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11362501/Serene.apk

my bad, I was very tired last night, didn't notice it was for the endev.
poiny being there definitely is viperxl in sense 4.1 flavour, seeing this phone was shipped with ICS.
Yes it is safe, provided you are fully s-off.

I believe that is true. I think HTC pretty much went to Sense 4+ once they went to JB.

Wait, you need to be S-Off in order to downgrade to ICS? I thought it was just a matter of flashing a new ROM?
I'm currently on H-Boot 1.14 S-On.
Yes you can just flash an ics rom, if you wanted to Ruu you would need to be s-off.
