Why are there are no S3 CFWs? - HTC One S

Hey guys,
I wanted to ask you if you know why there are so few custom firmwares for the villec2? If I look over in the Sensation section there are only villec2 based Roms, so why they arent availible for the villec2? I dont get it!
It seems that Im pretty much ****ed with my phone. No updates, no CFWs, no nothing.
Probably I should have bought the Sensation. Would have been cheaper and better for rooting.

The sensation has a big user base but no official sense 4 from HTC right? And the sensation is similar to the villec2 where it matters most for a "chef" I guess, eg same SOC, same resolution.
The c2 ville was released because the newer awesome krait S4 SOC was in low supply but by then many devs and users had already got the regular S4 ville so ville development is still focused on it.
Might change as more ppl get the c2, but chances are devs generally are more aware of the different versions and avoid buying the c2 for themselves.

Why don't you try porting a sensation ROM? It shouldn't be too hard considerimg the hardware similarities. Heck, it might even work if you just flash one.

I really don't want to try them out on my phone. I don't want to brick it.
And how does porting work? Is it hard?

And how do we port a Sensation Rom if we don't have the knowledge to do it? I'm talking about normal users... not devs!
Is there a tutorial available for doing this?
If there is I'm willing to do it.

confirmed, every day, only (S4) posts updated with new rom updates. Some devs confirmed to look in to C2/S3 but .... i think they have no time.
i whish there would be a custom rom with 1% battery and tab quicksettings in notification window for VilleC2 /S3.

I would love to have MIUI or CM10 availible for the VilleC2. Some friends have them installed on their phones and those are just amazing ROMs!

ICS for Desire S ?

Is there a chance for an official update for the Desire S to the ICS ?
Nobody knows, but could be possible...
At this moment no available information about from ths update but in my oppinion its coming about 2-3Q of year.
i've read that htc wants upgrade desire's series. HD,Z and S but in second semester of this year. i'm not sure how much is a credible information..
If HTC is ever going to release official ICS for Desire S then it is for certain that you will have to wait a long time.
Don't hold your breath.. HTC has not been very fast publishing updates, at least not for the Desire series... Q3 is probably overly optimistic (IF there will ever be an official update).

For many reasons..
Even though most of us will be using custom ROMs, we want official bases to work from so we have the right kernel source, drivers etc. This way you have better comparability, battery life, performance etc.
Think HD2. No official WP7.
Unofficial WP7 built with no official drivers = permanent bugs. (Multitouch, camera flash)
I explain this EVERYTIME, when someone posts this....

I'm not sure it will happen. HTC only announces large screen and high resolution phones now. And as we all know, they don't like to upgrade old phones. So if there will be an ICS phone with 480x800, it won't be soon.

And again, we have NO use of OTAs like this from other devices, as it can be only flashed in recovery on that device.

This is just a repost of what football posted in the one s section.
I dont think even football has an RUU yet though because the OTA was only released 2 days ago.
Btw this is for Ville_U which is snapdragon S4 SoC, and we need the s3 version (Ville_C2) RUU. I'm not saying it cannot be done without hackery, but it will be much easier for everyone to wait for C2 update.

[CLOSED] [RUU] HTC Ville Plus JellyBean 1.14.709.16 RUU

Now I must stress that this is intended for developers and other people willing to help try and get this going (it has some major problems as highlighted in post 2 which I suggest you read)
To any users who are even slightly tempted to flash this onto your Sensation, it will brick your phone so don't even try it. If you do and it bricks your phone, do not come to me for sympathy because I will just laugh at you. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
The Problem,
Since JellyBean releases HTC have added extra protection around their RUU's making the rom.zip file still getable from the RUU but with what bender_007 says are extra bytes - this means that any attempt to extract the system.img gives a CRC error.
This is not particuarly my area of expertise so I hope those with more knowledge/ideas will come and discuss this
Hey! I'm not a dev or something but when you're searching for testers, I will offer my help!

[2013/11/04] Update is rolling out! Android 4.2.2 & Sense 5 - Discussion

The Update is rolling out! :laugh:
In Serbia & Croatia and other countries, for free k2ul.
You can follow the happening from here.
Usually HTC is updating free k2ul (with LTE) first. If all is fine, free k2u are next, together or followed by provider k2ul.
After that, cricket & boost get the update.
At least they did this way for the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update.
Pictures: Look at this post
==================================================
You need to get back stock, if you are rooted and have custom recovery/rom:
S-On, you have to S-off your device and do the S-off guide
S-Off you can do from the beginning like told here.

I hope (and believe) of course this will come, but its not confirmed officially.
And i don't think it will come before august/september. All before would be a real suprise cause even the update for HTC One isn't released officially. Then will follow OneX, OneX+...
But there are rumors that One S maybe don't get it (technical issues). That would be heavy for them.
Other news say, we get Android 4.2.2 without Sense 5:

Football is continue claiming that there will be an update.
A german "insider" is sure there will be nothing.
To make it clear: atm we don't know anything for sure!
But related to One S: it was canceled because of their different processors. Qualcomm does no longer support the S3 version. And before they only update the S4 and user are asking "why does he get an update and i not, we have both One S", the have canceled.
But this problem don't exist on our phone!
So let's hope and keep fingers crossed.

Most people go with the flagship phones or the cheaper (Desire X). Most time people complain about resolution, but when you used to 800x480 (like you and i from Desire S times) its not a problem i think.
But all in all i would say the most devs are working on the flagships.
It is clear that our model is not very popular. If by the end of summer does not release update, then it is likely that 4.2.2 will not.

And as i have heard, the HTC One mini will also have the same processor and 1 GB Ram. So also not a big alternative/difference in 4,3" phones. Better screen, but no sd card, so i'm staying with lovable One SV.
But lets come back on topic, please!
The One SV stands in between the One V and One S in terms of specs(hence it's name),and if the One S isnt getting an update,there is a high chance that the One SV won't get one
But we cannot miss the fact that it was launched after the One S so there is some hope for this device

Flashing miui

Hi,
I want to remove my friends htc one xl's branding by tmobile and flash a miui rom. After hours searching this forum(s), i have a little idea of what i have to do, like i have to unlock bootloader, some s-off thing, flash a custom recovery and then flash rom. As i come from samsung forums, i have no idea of how this works and even hours of research havent helped me out. So i would be glad if anyone could tell me what i should do to at the end i get miui. (I think flashing custom rom removes branding, doesnt it?)
Thanks very much in advance

Never used samsung but it seems like anyone who comes from Samsung phones tend to be ridiculously noobish. I suggest reading through the stickies in q&a and android dev and original android dev if things don't make sense to you. This phone is quirky but once you actually understand what you're doing and why, it's simple. Lazyness will brick you. Also, never root these for a friend or they will be calling you when something goes wrong. And something will go wrong.

(I think flashing custom rom removes branding, doesnt it?)
Thanks very much in advance

Normal way, i think:
1/ Check your computer, have ADB and htc sync install or not, if not, download them and install them.
2/ Boot into bootloader, and check your status of hboot, build. If your hboot, build are qualified to get root, go to this topic:

3/ After unlock boot-loader, go do soff to install custom RUU:

4/Flash TWRP recovery (google and download it, latest build 2.6.0.0)
5/ Install any rom you want
PS: for MIUI rom, you dont need to soff and hboot required, thats mean you just only care about: UNLOCK BOOTLOADER, ROOT, TWRP recovery.
So first, go to htcdev.com and unlock bootloader for your phone, after that, check if your phone can root or not and install TWRP recovery then flash MIUI rom.
So thats all you need, maybe it not clear too, but you need to give me some infor about ur phone, so we can find right solution. I am noob too haha
Ok, so:
1/ yes ive got adt with adb tools included; im on linux so i think no htc driver needed
Well, if i dont need soff thats good
Thx, clear guide man

It's best to just s-off. As a precaution.
