I think I read somewhere it was going to have some features of Sense 4.0. Similar to older HTC phones getting Sense 3.0 features like the lockscreen but not receiving the full upgrade.

The 'Sense 4.0' thing was widely misreported, the actual HTC press release said nothing about Sense 4:
Alright, back on track. I'm gonna try the ruu again tonight. When I connect my Vivid to the pc, which mode do I select? HTC sync, charge only, or disk drive? Remember, I'm stock, locked, and not rooted

HTC sync is the recommended mode. But as long as "USB debugging" is enabled it should work.

Booya! Finally got it updated! Gotta remember files like this need to be downloaded from my computer, not the phone, before being installed.

First time poster here, I have no experience rooting/flashing phones, but I used PG's RUU on my Vivid and on my girlfriend's Vivid, everything went flawlessly. Thanks a lot for your work and for everyone's support, it's really cool to be the only one in my area with ICS. Only one problem, every time I reboot my phone I get a message, "Android is upgrading", and something about optimizing my apps. It only takes a minute or two but it does it every time, and also on restart it asks for my time zone? Very minor problems though, I am very happy with the upgrade and thanks for everyone's expertise.
From what I have gathered, it is normal for Android is upgrading to show up on reboots. I'm not sure about the time zone though. Keep in mind, the RUU is pre release beta, so I suggest that a bit of light reading and update to the OTA release. I'll list what you will have to do if you do want to update to the OTA version.
Since you did the RUU method, I'm assuming everything is bone stock at the moment.
Read the stickied post on how to these steps
unlock bootloader
flash recovery
flash kernel
in recovery, flash rom
I think the 'Android is Upgrading' screen has something to do with fast boot in your settings.

The general consensus is ICS will optimize applications every time Dalvik cache is wiped. So when restarting, or powering off, Dalvik should get wiped, and apps will be optimized. The only time it won't do this is if you have fastboot ticked, and you power down, then power back up (as this is when the power "fastboot" option is utilized). Even with fastboot ticked, when restarting it will still do this
hello All, new to the Vivid (just got one from Craigslist!) coming from the HTC HD2.
so everybody is getting "Android is upgrading" message at every boot?
Thanks to all (especially OP + PG!) for this ICS update.
Any thoughts on this posting from the Vivid Android Central forum?
"ICS updated, no hack nor rom"

***If anyone could get this newer OTA downloaded & pull it's zip from their phone before it installs it really would be helpful to the devs. It'll be in cache folder I believe, & you should be able to get it using about any file explorer***

I assume everyone is getting it. Wildchild released a update to his rom earlier this week and since I've flashed that one I no longer get that message when booting.

I went to the link and dialed the number. It worked! Thanks for the link. Everything seems to be running smoothly. Ill try to get some screenies up asap.
It's interesting that, from the person that posted the screenshots, that their kernel version and build number look almost a week newer than what I/we have.
I'm rocking ics thanks to this, it actually worked
Dialed that, got this,
Ended up with this:
