What are you running now and what region or carrier are you using?
The Development section has stock, rooted ROMs such as GB 2.3.3/Sense 2.1, GB 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 up to the latest ICS 4.0.4/Sense 3.6.

Try ARHD from the dev section. Best rooted and you won't notice the difference from stock. Available in GB and ICS flavours. Unfortunately for rooted devices only.

Help with stock I ics

If anyone could help that would be great. I rooted and unlocked my phone about 4 months ago so I could get cool droid a custom ics Rom. Then when I found out that the official Rom had come out for my device I decided to get that as I was having trouble with my battery life. So I restored a backup and downloaded the update. When I installed it boots into 4ext and trys to install but comes up with random code and says error in the location of update.
I am running unlocked bootloader, s-on and rooted
Please help

Gonna need to be more specific than "random code and errors" lol. What error does 4ext say when you try to install the ROM?
Also are you restoring a backup, and then trying to install the ROM? If so, don't. Do a full wipe/factory reset and format all partitions (except SD card) in 4ext before installing the ROM.

If you're trying to update via official HTC ota with a custom recovery and unlocked/s off bootloader, you can't. That's why its failing. I would suggest trying a custom Rom based on the official update

Even if you are HTCdev unlocked, because your recovery is not stock and you have unlocked your bootloader, you can't install the update. That's why its failing.
So either re lock it and return to stock to install the ota, or download a custom rom based on the update which will give you a stock experience.

Mark was right, you can't install official updates with an unlocked bootloader. If your looking for a stock experience I suggest flashing this ROM. It's Android revolution HD and it's based off the stock HTC ICS update but optimized for better performance. You'll also have to manually flash the boot.img since your S-ON. Follow the tutorial in this thread to learn how to flash the boot.img with fastboot.

Thanks ill give it a try How is battery life on the rom as this is the reason I wanted stock. My battery is pretty new around 4-5 months.

also found this on the page do i need blackrose and s off?
You need:
HTC Incredible S S-OFF
4EXT Touch Recovery
New hboot from [HBOOT][S-OFF] BlackRose
With 2.00 i haven't found out how to do it
could you help me thanks

No, as of the latest update 1.5, the rom does not need blackrose anymore.
Just flash the rom and flash your boot.img and you're good to go
Please correct me if I'm wrong though, I am just assuming because of the changelog

The ROM should work with revolutionary HBOOT now. Still waiting on confirmation for that though, but there's no risk to your phone the worst that could happen is the ROM won't boot.

Quattro is nearly a year old, its waaay outdated by newer roms.
If you want ICS AOSP then try Ice Cold Sandwich or Playground ICS
Or even try Codename Android which is Jellybean

As for Stock ICS, it took me a while to find, but i found it nonetheless (Everything works including 8mp camera (obviously))

(I do not know if you need to have S-OFF but you definately need black rose )
*Insert Disclaimer; Not Responsible for bricked phone etc. etc.*
I Personally Recommend the Stock, as everything works, but feel free to be adventurous

[Q] can I downgrade from ICS TO 1.08.415.4 WITH S-OFF PHONE?

Onejay's port of CM 10.1 has no freezings and works great, actually, with no bugs.
Your device should not be laggy, even if you are in the 4.0.4 version of the stock rom. Try uninstalling some rescource-demanding apps.
If you really want to go to that old and largely outdated Gingerbread, try using the right RUU.
Have a nice day !

Information and Help

Hello,
I'm new here and I'm looking for a good stable rom for my daily use (fully functional) and most importantly stable , I'm actually tired of how my phone performs on the stock rom, I would like to have fast and smooth performance. Is there anything possible? Help and suggesstions will be highly appreciated.
I'm using the Rogers HTC Raider 4G.
Regards.

No one?

I think the best way to do it is to try each one for a couple of days, while making notes about their pros & cons. One person could tell you that one rom is the best, while another could tell you a different rom is the best. It's all up to you.

This is a developers forum, there are a lot of roms here for one device, I'm not a developer, I'm just an individual looking for one or two. All I'm saying is that, a developer has knowledge and experience, if a developer would care to suggest one or two, I would be out of the scenario of trying each one, because for a daily user like me, it would be a pain. You know what I'm saying, right?

OK...
I hate to do this...
But
CM 11 is nice and stable... But old...
PAC 4.4.4 is stable-ish... Has some bugs... But its in nightlies... So bugs come and go...
Ressurection Remix is really nice and stable... But very old... So you'll have some compatibility issues with things...
Any of the CM 10.2 ROMs are bad battery drainers due to old kernel issues...
Ditto for the CM 10 ROMs...
I hate sense... But any of the sense based ROMs are really stable... If you go with those... Kozmik's kernel is very nice... The senseless sense ROMs are a little messy... But very usable...

One more thing, the CM 11 is the 4.2.2 Rom isn't it? I've seen it on some Raiders these days, is it good for daily use?
Thankyou again.

@rignfool
I'm restricted to post in the other thread, is Kozmik's kernel compatible with the stock ICS sense 3.6 rom?
And if so, is it possible to flash it via fastboot through pc? Because I'm currently S-on and don't plan to go S-off.
Mentioning again that I have a Roger's HTC Raider.

Self-compiled CM for damn sure - it's already grown into a habit.

I am quite partial to Lollipop GPE roms, particularly stock roms. However if I want a long term stable rom, I always end up going back to a Kitkat Sense 6 rom as they provide the best for battery life and smoothest performance.

Have u tried NuSense7 yet? It's smoother and more dependable than any rom I've ever been on, stock sense 6 included. I'm on the Verizon version as I'm on a vzw m7, however I know @santod040 knows what he's doing with anything m7 related, and I know he has the same rom available for wwe/international m7 as well.
