Hi,
S-on/S-off is a decision you need to make.
Like I said, read up on both and make a decision on which one suits you best,and which one suits your needs.

Yeah I will do that. Think I will go with the second link. That IC rom you linked looks very good indeed. Now I dunno what to go for lol.
Lol malybru. Might as well link up all the roms I know you like linking stuff.
Let's put it this way.
ARHD is as close to stock as it gets
IC is heavily optimised. Don't know about ARHD but heavy optimisation with IC means that quality of the ROM varies from version to version. IE, IC with sense 3.6 latest is 5.5.0, but I rolled back to 5.1.8 as I find it better overall with best battery life I ever had (stock kernel, I always use stock kernel, my Sensation seems not to like custom ones ).

Hi,
You will find with that second link that you can flash both ROMS(one at a time
)Then you can decide which one you like.
You can actually flash ANY 3.6 ICS ROM.
You will find them all HERE
Got some weird error 155, didn't even get it to recovery.
Anyone know what that is or how to fix it?
I'm on a tmous sensation so it has to be the right RUU right?
Are you sure you aren't already returned to stock?
Switch off the phone, take your battery out, re-insert & then boot to boot loader (vol. down + tap the power button)
Error 155 is connection issues
Run the RUU on pc with your Phone in fastboot (phone should read fastboot usb)
Also if you are htcdev unlocked Then relock it and run
If you follow these two steps you won't have any issues
(hopefully) Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
- this caused by one reason , your bootloader is unlocked by htc dev , " and rarely happen because of Gold card "
- relock the bootloader and flash RUU
- there is the latest t-mobile RUU TMOUS Stock ICS *RELEASE* 3.32.531.14 ( by steeve ) here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1654347
- make sure of the download ? one of the links will give .bin , i corrected it to .exe and md5 was ok , but better look for other source
- also there is a flashable zip for it " Rooted and Stock , 99.99% pure stock " to be flashed as a custom Rom

Hi,
You can check your original CID by getting "CID Getter" from the market.
To find your original cid:
Type
Code:
getprop ro.cidin a terminal on your phone .
To check your ACTUAL CID, make sure you have adb installed and reboot the phone into FASTBOOT. Then type:
fastboot getvar cid
thats for windows mobile phone..it wont work on sensation..
but there is a good app in market..which syncs the clock
get this clock sync

Thanks, but I asked about doing it from recovery.

Those are the only
oops my mistake..forgot that adb works from recovery too
EDIT: btw i tried this..weird thing is even though i can get into shell
i was unable to run getprop ro.cid (as the getprop was not being found
)Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves

switching ROMs
I have been running ARHD 6.6.3 and it is running smoothly but I want to try out the new OrDroid 7.1.3. I thought all I had to do to switch would be
-boot into recovery
-run superwipe
-install OrDroid from sd card (in recovery mode)
but when I do this and try to restart it just goes into bootloop. What step for switching between ROMs am I missing?
(I used a Nandroid backup to restore back to my previous settings so right now I am running ARHD 6.6.3 like it was prior to trying to switch to OrDroid)

While being on recovery connect your phone to pc and run the this adb commandThanks, but I asked about doing it from recovery.
Code:
adb shell
getprop ro.cidEDIT: that will display your original CID no matter if you are supercid'ed .. to find out your actual CID follow malybru's advice by running the fastboot command

106Hi guys. Had this idea for a while. There are a lot of people joining xda on daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked which fill up Development threads. Point them here.
First thing first. I strongly advise you to read THIS thread before posting ANYTHING on XDA.
Then, have a quick look at the links at the bottom of this post. You might find what you need right away.
Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please, do come back and read the links in this post to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE,adb, drivers, superCID etc...... You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.
No abuse towards noobs or silly questions is tolerated here!

There is no way you can FAQ everything and to keep FAQ up to date is pain in the ass. Treat this thread as a chat.6Yeah good idea.
We must rember, we were all noobs once.
And we do get a lot of stick and crappy comments at noobs.
I will help out all i can hear.6Post # 5000
This thread is huge, thanks to all of you who have been part of this helpful and very informative project and have shared your knowledge and experience to us.

Hi! to succesfully flash the jb animations you need to follow this steps:
- Download the jb animations .zip from here
- place it on your sd card
- reboot your device on recovery mode
Note: I've used 4ext recovery touch as a reference to the following steps, but you can use whichever custom recovery you want - tap on "mounts | storage"
- tap on "mount /system"
- press back
- tap on "wipe | format > "wipe cache + dalvik"
- press back
- tap on "install from sd card" and choose the jb animations.zip you've downloaded
- reboot device
- enjoy
