[OFFICIAL]Desire S gets official ICS!!!

Usually yes. Sometimes a little and sometimes a lot of functionality is different. Sometimes custom ROMS use a different kernel and have extra utilities. Stability is also an issue with custom roms too. Sometimes they look and function very similar to the official ones too.
virtuous saga is the closest to the official ics, it's actually made from desire s test ics rom that leaked out of htc in may (with very few changes). expect the final version to be the same, only more polished.
ice ds is also pretty close. it's made from official ics rom for another htc device which has almost the same hardware as desire s.

ICE_DS is built on official ICS for Incredible S, which is the EXACT copy of Desire S in terms of hardware, but with bigget screen

Exactly what we were expecting - but good to know that it won't be long, even if that is only a test one it means that HTC are moving things along at last. :good:
I wonder why they skipped DHD. On their blog they said it need partition resizing, but a RUU can handle this just fine. Anyway, good to know kernel 3 is coming I am fine with both OTA and RUU, even the latter is much better. Can't wait already

1. "There is no info that HTC are dealing with bugs"
In May there was an European RUU leak, European version, test keys. It was released here by mdeejay, and despite the fact that the developer made some cleanup and included the latest firmware it was not very well running and got issues. The kernel was not very stable to use on other ROMs as well. This was a real evidence that HTC have still quite some work to do dealing with bugs
2. "Difference between the Chinese and European release"
Besides the language the Chinese version has zero Google integration. None. They do not use Google apps and services there. Since Sense editions for the rest of the world have deep integration with Google, and taking into account the major changes that Google made to Android and their apps recently this presumes a lot of development and testing in terms of flawless functionality.
3. "HTC bastards are not giving the Source of the Chinese OTA to the devs to work with."
Considering the previous two points we can assume that the worldwide edition of the kernel may be slightly different. They have to release the source for the Chinese OTA, according to the GPL license. But they have no need to release the source of the other firmware that was changed. Using the kernel source standalone may cause issues as well. HTC will never release something that may not work officially. This makes them the company that they are now and the reason we all bought their device. Because it is HTC, and despite the delay they do a great work
I hope the above will explain the delay for the doubtful
If not than please continue the whining in the dedicated thread that was made exactly for this purpose in the Desire S General forum: [DISCUSSION] HTC Update policy
Sent from my HTC Desire S1211I cannot believe how much you guys are complaining about HTC. There isn't another mobile company providing updates any quicker compared to them. My flagship 2011 LG P990 was promised ICS in Q2, still nothing now and zero timelines are provided. You guys have it easy. Stop crying.
