[Q] Roms for Stock Firmware?

Hi
I'm very new to this custom rom thing, but not a complete noob...
I am curious if there are any custom roms that will work on stock firmware/kernel...?
I flashed Clockwork recovery and are using that at the moment
So far i have tried a lot of roms (mostly ICS ones) and the one ones working so far is one of the MIUI roms which i am using at the moment, but it laggs a fair bit.
I unlocked via HTC Dev tool and thus have a weird bootloader at the moment. Will flashing firmware remove this? will i be able to restore the original firmware from a backup i have already made?
Picture shows my current status.
Any suggestions for roms would be helpful.
Thanks

You are still s-on you need s-off to get root access. Get that one first. Then energy sense 3.5 is great stable Rom wich has stock kernal.

+1 on the S-OFF. When you have it and rooted and custom recovery, make sure you do a Nandroid backup ASAP and keep it safe.
I liked CM7, then again I like AOSP ROMs in general. I was dual running CM7 (GB) and Virtuous Inquisition (ICS) on 1.23.0000 HBOOT for a while. Now gone over to 1.27.1100.

Sorry for noob question, but i've tried many things to get S-off, (incuding revolutionary.io) but nothing seems to work. Is there any way to get rid of the HTC unlocking thing and flash something else?

[Q] Suitable Firmware for ICS and Sense 4.0

Hi, can someone please tell me what firmware should I flash for installing ICS and Sense 4.0 based ROMs?? Because I am hoping to flash OrDroid ROM and is really confused about the adequate firmware for it. Can I use the mike's unlocked 3.32 firmware, which specifies that it's for Sense 3.6? or is there any specific firmware that I should flash?
I am still on the stock GB ROM..so this is the first time I am gonna flash a Custom ROM to my phone!
I would really appreciate a prompt reply!
Thanks in advance!

Yeah Mike's firmware would do.
No need to update your firmware for sense 4 roms they are ported to from HTC one s/x so current latest firmware would suffice.

Hi,
Are you s-off?
If not,you cannot downgrade.
If you are s-off,then, you downgrade using 1.17 firmware
Then,you can super wipe,and install a GB ROM.
You may have to change your radio.

Firmwares work whit versions of android for example 3.32 and up is ics and anything below that is for gingerbread rom

put the rom zip in the root of the sdcard and flash it from recovery
if you are S-ON i suggest you to install 4ext recovery(if you don't have it yet) and enable smartflash berfore flashing
also it works only with 3.32fw and 3.33fw version
but before everything do a nandroid backup first

edit: i just see the link thanks... i'm going to flash now ...

All you need to do is make sure you have an unlocked bootloader, s-off, it's, 4ext recovery. Once you have all that just drop the rom on ur sd, go into recovery and install the rom from zip. If u need instructions on how to s-off, unlock ur bootloader or anything else just ask.

Hi,
Are you s-off?
If not,then s-off HERE
If yes,then, follow THIS THREAD to the letter (apart from the ROM you want to install)
Basically , GB is the wrong firmware to run JB ROMS.
You must upgrade your firmware ,but you must be s-off to do that.

Thanks!

To update without s - off, re lock your bootloader and do an ruu (ics). The unlock again and flash any jb rom.
Happy to help.
