Hello,
I've installed the ics update of htc. Since then my phone is crazy laggy and slow. Anyone else experiencing this?
I'll probably do a factory reset, and if nothing works I ll go for custom roms. I just wanted to know if there is anything I can try before these.
Thanks!

It's best if you flash custom roms. It really unleashes the true power of the Incredible S. You see stock software from HTC isn't optimized. And when xda gods like mike1983 (i think) create roms like arhd, you will experience true power

Thanks for the answer! I'm interested in doing that, but I use only linux and I see most of root s-off stuff needs a Windows PC, and for hboot 2.02, there is no straightforward guide yet. If I find a nice guide JUST for linux (and for hboot2.02), I'll sure do it.
Cheers

Doesn't sound ok, my device became much faster and more responsive... A factory reset should help... Otherwise you could try disabling useless stuff you'd never use anyway.
Yeah, you should try the factory reset and you will slightly better than before formatting.

Hello,
Well I did a factory reset and reinstalled some of my apps. It is still a bit sluggish but much better now.

Flash the RUU for your phone, and then Reset it.
I did it that way and it was fast.
I ve read a bit about ruu, but it still seems to need windows machine. I would install a custom rom if I had windows. By the way, how do you find the ruu? Do you get it from HTC?

There is a sticky thread in the Development section that has links to a lot of shipped RUUs for the IncS.

I flashed RUU but did not reset it. Most of the time phone is slow. Does factory reset after RUU really does the trick?
I am kind a sick of reinstalling my apps, because I allready did 2 resets after first OTA, downgrade to 2.3.5 and new OTA (before RUU become availible) and after that - 4.0.4 RUU. Perfomance stays the same - slow.
Disable that weird office app that came with this update, I think that may solve your problem. At least it worked for me!! I'm using Documents to go anyway so I didn't need it

Hey Guys,
I had updated my HTC Incredible S recently and found ICS was great but had major problems as phone became "laggy" and took more than 16 seconds to get back to Home Screen after hitting the Home Icon.
I did search for the solution on google and found the trick mentioned by Luckyone199 in the link as mentioned below:-
androidforums.com/htc-incredible-s/580085-all-about-ics-htc-incredible-s-ice-cream-sandwich-update-rolling-out-now.html#post4751371
And guess what.... it worked wonders!!
Just go to DEVELOPER OPTIONS under Settings and UNCHECK ''DON'T KEEP ACTIVITIES'' on bottom of the menu.
It just worked great and now my phones is ultra-fast and I able to make the best of what ICS had to offer.
It should work for other phones too. Thanks to Luckyone199. Please do try it and post back so it will be helpful for others too. Thanks Guys

Vicky

Try to keep the "Background process limit" to Standard Limit and Uncheck "DONT KEEP ACTIVITIES" and then restart your phone. Please do reply if this worked. Thanks
It's strange that some get laggy experience and some get much better performance after the ICS upgrade... My phone is blazing fast compared to gingerbread. Don't forget that Sense 3.6 is heavier... Browsing, running apps and even 3D performance have improved! In Modern Combat 3 there's a huge difference!!1
Have they improved the qualcomm drivers or is just ICS more tweaked for games & hardware acceleration???

Okay so I've been hacking iPhones since the first one. I got my hd7 wen it was released. And I've updated to NoDo. Now...i realize this update kills chevronwp7. But I've been reading an reading all over this forum and its only half-clear to me. I have installed axebox and the update for HD7 rom unbranding. Problem: what rom do i need? There are so many and where do i get it?? I know i need the rom for the firmware before NoDo... I've been spending hours. Posting a thread is always last resort. Im not illiterate just not knowledgeable enough yet with this.
Thanks for any and all replies!
You'll first need to flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008).
Then, you'll need to follow this thread

Doesn't anyone know how I can get these roms? I'd think by now someone would have links posted and organized its been months... I need TmoUS 7004 or 7008...?? :/ I just wana flash and get this done! Thanks!

Oh and I just read about needing a "goldcard" and a special USB cable? Is this someones misunderstanding? I thought "goldcard" was an update to axebox.
I have the same problem
For example this rom :
[ROM][UPD]RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_2 2.31.50.09_Signed
How do I know that when i install it It will flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008) ?
i wanna get back to jailbreak my t-mobile device .

Get on a PC and login to your windows live account and then check your contacts and see if they are there. When I first got my HD7 and set it up, it synched all my contacts. After I restored it and did the unlock and upgraded it, it synched all my contacts back and I didn't know it did and I ended up having all my contacts twice cause I had imported them from my similar card before realizing they had synched back from my windows live

Sorry for a quasi-hijack, but I too need help with flashing ROM's so it's highly related.
I've searched all over for almost a week, but I can't find an answer. How can you get into bootloader with unresponsive volume keys?
I've tried modding the registry entry for my phone so that I can move the HD2compatible EnterBootloader.exe files I found on this site on to my HD7, but they don't execute when I try to run them (I didn't really expect them to since they were compiled for WM6.5, but I tried all the same). Is there something similar for WP7? Or maybe does someone know how to launch the bootloader via code in an app (I have developer access to it)? I can't even hard reboot this thing without the volume keys working.
Thanks in advance!

Very nice, and lots of pics! It should help a lot of people out.
Thank you. When I tried to root my HTC Legend, I couldn't find a proper guide, so I thought I'd make one to help other people out.
Hi Thanks i just swap my iphone with htc legend from my gf and planning to root the phone. this would be my only guide, hopefully no issue will happen and i will report back. the guide looks good and simple but the only thing i find is, TOO many files needed. maybe i can combine all of them and put in 1 place to help other newbies !
but i still shock to see number of files i need to root an android ! and the files are sooo big aswell ! different from iphone, you just need a website or 1 software to jailbreak it hehehehehe - relax im an android fan boy now !
Every Android device has its own rooting method. The one of the Legend is really long; but don't worry. It's not that hard as it seems. Also this guide is really good!

Error 140 means that you need to re-create the GoldCard. Your phone must also be connected as, "Charge Only". You could also try plugging your phone in another USB port. Also check that you have AndroidSDK installed.

Have you backed up your ROM? If yes, just reboot into recovery and restore.
If you don't know what I am talkin about, you should go to the Q&A section and start to read until you hit somewhere which explains what you did. I doubt you will find aa solution for your issue though! The forum does not protect dulls
I've had a HTC Vivid for quite a while, but recently decided to change the Rom, Rom've tried several, but all encounter the same problem and that is that the Wifi does not work
I've done all Wipes, I have the Bootlouder Desblock, and everything, but still I do not find anything, and I get all the Roms
I wonder if someone is kind enough to explain what might happen in my case and if you have some sort of solution.

You have to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, and flash a kernel that support this mod...

Hey man if you go into development section you will see ElementalX kernal thats whst your looking for. I suggest you go on YouTube and watch a few vids about flashing ROMs etc and remember to always backup before flashing anything.

Thanks, I decided to grow a pair and just try it and it was very easy, but i do have a couple of questions, every time you flash a new kernel you have to setup the phone from scratch and re install all apps again? No easier way of doing this?
I was also hoping that this was going to remove the branding on the bootup of the phone but it didnt, and tips on how to remove the branding?
If you're only flashing a kernel it shouldn't let you setup the phone from scratch. Unless of course you're flashing a whole ROM in which should address your other concern about removing the branding.

You must have clicked the factory reset button or any wipe buttons in the recovery. Or the kernel developer must have badly coded the updater-script and enforced a factory reset everytime anyone installs his kernel. Which is not necessary really.
should the branding still be there tho?
Can somebody share the link of the latest RUU 2.17.401.1 please..

Many thanks

That one requires S-Off. We may have it soon.
