[REF][Q&A] Official ICS Update Q&A Thread

The speculation thread has filled up with pointless questions on the ROM. (I.E - non development info)
Examples...
'How do I disable vibration?'
'How do I turn off keyboard sound?'
Etc
Time to keep it simple, here is the Q&A thread, post any questions you have here, about the official updates.

I got 2 little questions:
1. How can I change the first day of the calendar from Sunday to Monday?
2. Why my "network provided time zone" is GMT+3, if I'm in Romania (GMT+2)? OK, I changed manually, but ... why?
Thanks!

1) not on Sense, so can't check, but go to calendar settings, and there is am option to change the first day of the week.
2)reboot the phone or try changing sim card

that link says, Install Desire S official ICS update and keep S-OFF and RECOVERY, but I think I have stock DS so it means my S-ON right?

I installed the rom and its quite nice - but there are two main problems, which i can't manage to solve on my own. ..
1. After disabling the spelling correction, it should be off - but in some apps, like trillian, its still activated. Didn't have that problem on 2.3
2. Same for vibrate feedback. Turned it off - but it's still on while typing in my apps.
Thats annoying while chatting ~_~

Should have looked further. .. found the options to disable both in the Touch Input Keyboard options. ..

Turn off your phone, battery out, then put it back in, press the volume down button while pressing the power button at the same time, it will say on there somewhere s-on or s-off

ask the manufactures 4 that or try to search in htc's website.

You can compile a kernel from sources at htcdev website..
It'll work only on GB or below..
Wouldnt work on ICS/JB.. :good:

Actually they both arent tough.. You just need to know some basic "slang", ie, the terms commonly used, and some programming of intermediate level(this is needed if you want to change something in the source).. Otherwise, all you do is download a source already defined by someone, and build a zip from that source with a bunch of commands.. Childs play..
When you fix problems in the source itself, for eg, to make wifi/bluetooth work, thats when you need some knowledge, ie, thats the hard part,,
Building is very easy.. All you need to build is good computer speed, and patience..:good:

The link for kernel and rom making
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891046
The version depends on what you are going to build.
I have tried this tutorial on ubuntu 12.04, and it didn't work for me, perhaps, for I didn't configure things properly, and i was trying to compile for ics/jb.
Sarthak says that it works fine on ubuntu 11.10, 32 bit ( kernel making):victory:
Also, the source is just 100 mb or so. The toolchains are around 400 mb.:crying:
But, if you are planning to build ROM's on 32 bit, avoid it.
"avoid 32 bit if possible." That's what sarthak told me to do. so , i didn't.
P.S: most of the custom kernels i have used (not overclocked ones), have caused a lot of battery drain. Just make sure that your's doesn't.:fingers-crossed:

[PROJECT][WIP] Linux Kernel 3.4.10 for HTC Explorer

Hi all,
This thread is to collaborate all efforts towards porting kernel 3.4.x for HTC Explorer. Developers wishing to participate in this project can fork my repository and submit patches to the same.
Source Code
https://github.com/cuteprince/htc_pico_kernel_3.4.10.git
Why Do We Need Kernel 3
Easier updating the kernel to add security and performance boosts from mainline Linux kernels
More support for new versions of Android.
Faster, more secure system
Because it's just better

Status
Kernel get past HTC splash screen and reboots.
I have ported all the board specific stuff, fixed dependencies, Kconfigs, Makefiles and rewrote many APIs to make it compatible with kernel 3.4 .
The source code is fully compilable
How To Build
$make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE= <Path To Your Toolchain> -pico_defconfig
$make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE= <Path To Your Toolchain>
