hi guys! i need your help. i am an android newbie here, my device is HTC desire C. i have this phone now for 4 months. 2 months ago, i recieved a FOTA update to ICS 4.0.3. being a newbie, and at that time, not so knowledgeable yet, i was excited, thinking it would make my phone better. now, 2 months after the update, i was really puzzled why my battery drains faster than before that update, even with juice defender. and as i researched about ICS 4.0.3, i found that this version demands heavy CPU usage, and yes, drains battery faster than the stock ICS. a remedy for this, as i researched on the different ICS versions, 4.0.4 would, as it was said, solve the issues on 4.0.3. but i don't know if HTC's gonna launch forta for 4.0.4 for this device. so i'm planning to use the HTC desire C slimsense ICS 4.0.4 custom rom, but i'm nervous to root. hehe..now, i just want to know if any HTC desire C user here like me has ever tried using sutom roms on their devices, and if anyone has used the custom rom i mentioned? please..really need help. replies will be appreciated.

Hi all be nice its my first time..
i would like to know how to tell if my phone is branded (tmobile) there is no web n walk icon etc. so might need gold card.
also if i was to root my dhd with the upcoming ota release of 2.3 is it worth doing for custom roms.
what is the difference between ota rom and custom. i ask this because if the custom roms are all good then should i ignore the stock rom updates. and just use rooted.
i do like the stock rom but ive done the update at xmas and need to roll back...
ive just rooted my first android tablet, which was a risk because i wasnt sure what machine it was.. but its all good.. so doing the root shouldnt be a problem.

Hello,
I have HTC Desire S, EU/UK version. Recently my phone offered me to update Android version to 2.3.5 and HTC Sense version to 3.0. I installed these updates and realised that it is a nightmare, phone works slower (factory reset is done, didn't help) and overall looks is terrible (at least for me). Apparently this update has few nice functions, but still I would like to downgrade my phone back to Android 2.3.3 and HTC Sense to 2.x.
I have searched google for some solutions on this, but haven't found any, only similar complaints from HTC Desire S wanting to downgrade their software versions. I believe that if someone have a solution for this it will be useful for many Desire S owners.
Thanks in advance!
Did you try this link already:
I have a rooted HTC Amaze with s-on and unlocked bootloader. Yesterday I tried to flash Android Revolution so I can have an ICS rom. I couldn't use my phone for almost an entire day until I finally figured out how to get back onto bulletless around 2am.
I want to upgrade to ICS but I have no clue what to do, I have read many many threads about what to do but nothing is really clear to me.
I might be asking something really obvious to some people but I am eff'd if I can't use my phone and I just need a little help from someone who can tell exactly what to do, thanks everyone.
HTC AMAZE
Originally Telus, unlocked for WIND now.
version 2.3.4
Bulletless V2.4.1
Sense 3.0
no help????
Ok First my device information:
AT&T HTC One X USA bought.
It is is 4g LTE.
Android Version: 4.0.4
HTC Sense version: 4.0
Software number: 2.20.502.7 710RD
First Question:
Ok, so i have read around and im assuming im Sh*t out of luck with the 2.20.
Anyways i was wondering if there is any tutorials you guys have confirmed working for my version ect of htc one x.
Second Question:
My goal of rooting is only to be able to install a cheat engine cause i like to have fun in games.
I Do not at this time want to install custom roms or anything.
I Really like my phone Stock and the rom i have on it Stock to avoid any problems such as a decreased battery life with other roms and various other things not working ect.
Question is can i root this version of htc one x while keeping the the original stock rom? I don't like flashy roms ect. I love stock. ????
Third Question:
if second question is a yes to being able to stay with stock rom, will the root itself effect anything else such as battery life ? or functions?
Thanks for anyone that can answer and if you could keep it rather simple for me that would be great.
Thanks again.

More specifically root for 2.20

To root, you need to do a little more than the usual root, i.e. unlock your bootloader (and voiding the warranty).
You're not forced to change the ROM, but usually custom roms are better with power/speed (and removing bloatware).
I'm running Viper's ROM and I get about a 50% increase in battery life.
