Hi,
I'm not sure if this is even possible, but I can't seem to find anything solid on it - and I'm new to the device, and very limited 'experience' flashing my old Wildfire.
What I want is a stock (Google stock, not HTC stock) that is capable of receiving OTA updates as soon as Google releases a new iteration of Android. Essentially like a Nexus device.
I'm not bothered about any other hacky features (for the moment, at least). I just want an AOSP ROM that ideally have OTA updates.
Do the TMOUS ROMs do this?
Also, can someone please briefly explain (or link to a guide - I couldn't find one) how to flash said ROM without adb/AndroidSDK?
Thanks in advance,
PS:
Kernel version: 2.6.35.13-3422292
Baseband version: 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M
Hello, no such thing at the moment, sensation Roms are still in their infancy and removing sense brings problems, at the minute the closest you will find is the beast rom which is what I use, other then that just wait for cyanogenmod to be released oh and before people start flaming for this being in the wrong section, just remember this is a new user so be nice

Ah, okay, thanks.
So, in general (and therefore one could assume Sensation AOSP ROMs once ou of infancy) do AOSP ROMs allow OTA updating, like as soon as the Nexus devices get them?
Or do the developers of said ROMs still need to tweak them, and there is no bog-standard Google ROM?
The forums are split up into sections there is one called Q and A post further questions there unless your a developer sharing a mod or Rom you more then likely shouldn't create threads here.

pretty much every dev rom has OTA updating disabled, because an OTA update would do things like disable root.
also the only OTA update a sensation would ever receive is an update with Sense, which would be incompatible with whichever AOSP rom you have.
most devs update their roms pretty quickly after an OTA though. unless it is an entirely new android version, which can take some time.

There is no stock Android ROM from Google for the Sensation - any would have to be ported from another device or created from scratch from source. As such, there will never be OTA updates from Google themselves as the ROM would not have come from them

Okay, I didn't think it was possible anyway - just some posts I read led me to believe it was.
Hopefully an AOSP ROM for Sensation will arrive before long that has OTA updates in some capacity outside of ROM Manager.

You're not quite getting it, the sensation will never get an ota update outside of rom manager, unless you're running a stock, non-rooted sense rom.
The *only* devices that will get an aosp ota of any kind outside of rom manager are the nexus devices. There's no way around that.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Let's put it this way.
Nexus series gets official updates from Google because Google is the one that's 'selling/branding' the devices. Just take Google in this case as yet another manufacturer which provides OTA for its fleet of devices. Like for HTC, it provides OTA updates for our devices with Sense..

These two seem to contradict, what I'm asking is if the update from ROM dev is OTA through settings or whatever, or if it requires a flash and possibly wipe of dalvik cache?
I'm surprised no one has done an AdamG and compiled an AOSP ROM for the Sensation. He did it for the Desire and it was an AWESOME ROM

First quote: talking about making a rom based on an ota from HTC, I.e. behind Google's current release version.
2nd quote: talking about an aosp rom. And no, there isn't a way for us to do an ota update through the settings menu, only through cwm/rom manager.

Miui are weird have are a venture backed group. (They have money). Not sure exactly how they do, but they may have created their own checking app that then downloads a .zip for Yuri specific device, then uses cwm to flash.

Unfortunately this is what we can look forward to for the next 6-9 months. Exactly the same thing we had with ICS from the minute it was announced. Wait for the hundreds of rumour threads to start.

i know its dumb,and its just a little update dosnt even add anything major.people are stupid.
New notification bar is great, but I will enjoy it on new phone around Christmas maybe if it won´t come to desire s somehow
We've waited long enough for ICS,
Got to experience JB on a new phone! Cuz, i guess even our devs would move on to something new by then... Leaving our beloved DS deserted!
if you want to use jelly bean, try cm10 or blindbean - both are early stage alpha versions
but most of the options and settings are working already
there are just a few things not working on these roms
they run very smooth
that covers up the not working parts a lot

I think developers will not leave JB dev on our desire s.
at the moment there are good ICS roms and super smooth, but plenty of bugs, JB roms I think we've just to wait updates.

I can suggest you ice ds 4.1 to get ics on your device after rooting and recovery stuff. I'm testing it and seems really fast and stable. You will find an updated version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567715 but install 4.1 because 4.2 has some bugs. If you don't find a thing tell me. If I can I'll help you.

Guys I have some news for those who wantstonrun job on HTC desire s. I know last post was 2 month ago but you may be interested.
I'm testing jellytime r15 on my HTC desire s. It's a whole new level of quality and smoothness. Previously I had ice ds 4.1 based on HTC ICS 4.0.4 w/ sense 3.6
Jellytime is an aokp ROM you can download from blindnumb website. It has just 2 bugs but nothing to really care about, at least for me. Testing battery life...

There's always a benefit of root my friend. First and for most is removing bloarware (AT&T preinstalled apps that take up memory and space in background) So many other reasons why root is best. How I describe it to people is like this. Taking a Governor off a car is similar to rooting an android phone. Technically there is only one ROM made from OTA ICS right now here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960679 but there are others in the development section built of previous ICS "Leaks" we obtained. Such as SCV7, Swifty Trix, CM10, MIUI and a stock based off OTA as well. Hope this helped explain a little. Enjoy the power of the Dark side! :thumbup:

Umm, cm10 is a true opensource rom and not based on any leak/OTA, it is compiled from scratch. The only files taken from ICS are a few libraries and kernel modules and the like, and those have no bearing on version of ICS they were taken from.

Yes, your right Jim. CM is device-wide... forgot to mention that. Shouldn't mater what version of ICS your on.

I am probably not an ideal tester, due to lack of technical knowledge regarding Android, but should you need a tester of the moderate abilities, and knowledge I would be more than willing to be of help if I actually was help. I currently am running the build of CM10 that is currently available, and am impressed with it, but look forward to your build with much anticipation. I can only take off my hat, as it were, to you, and all of the developers in this arena.

No, and no. No on 2nd system because it still uses the same underlying stock ICS kernel.
If you took the OTA, then you are stuck on ICS. This has been the case with major android releases and not being able to go backward for a very long time.
I have seen a lot of videos and post of Android 4.2 being attached to CM10.1 for the I9000/I9000G and other devices. I keep checking 5 times religiously for it but I am only noticing incremental updates and bug fixes for Android 4.1.2 roms.
I know the developers are working very hard but if anyone can relate, it's not fair to us HTC One S users who keep flashing different 4.1.2 roms with 4.2 add ons as it's not the same as an original 4.2 rom.
Since I rooted my HTC One S (s4), I have been flashing various 4.1.2 roms such as: AOKP Milestone 1 / UnofficialAOKP14Nov12, CM10, JB PACman rom, Blackbean 6, Dark Jelly S etc.
Developers, we need 4.2 roms please.

Will do. I am concerned about HTC devices though as newer AOSP source codes haven't been exported to create a rom yet, which brings me to a question if their is something wrong with HTC devices like the One S. When the HTC One devices got released, they were released as a group so they should get updates at the same time right? Wrong, HTC One X got Jelly Bean 4.1.1 first and its brother the One S has been left out. Is it hardware related? Who knows? I think this subject should be announced by XDA administrators

I am not new to custom roms. But I don't understand and always avoid using "nightly" builds. I try to get "stable" roms or the newest builds of roms that say neither. I am afraid of tons of bugs compared to other roms. Is that unfounded? What is a nightly vs other types of builds?

This question is relevant, read the answers: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/56490/what-does-nightly-builds-mean
They may/may not be stable, but have the latest changes in them.
Stay away from nightlies unless you have the patience to deal with things not working & having to flash every now & then.
I used to use cyanogenmod7 nightlies versions on my olders phones. No issues at all, I thought it stable but may have a little issue or other.
Which nighly are you looking for?

If my definition if correct, it's one that is still being worked on. Not like a regular one with a few bugs. This is like a build before they would announce it a beta or release candidate.
Kinda like an underground build for only the advanced. And flash them at your own risk and be aware that they could brick your phone as they are not officially supported.

Simple, a Nightly is a Rom that is worked and updated by a robot (not a real robot, a computer that acts with some intelligence to work) and I think that it's called nightly because in the past, devs use the computer of his daily use at night and the next morning a new Rom was ready to test wth
