There is a rooted, recovery flashable version of the official ICS ROM 4.10.405.1 in the Development section.

Thanks tpbklake! found your thread downloading now :angel:
What issue are you having with battery life? I'm on Project X and have found the battery life so much better than almost any other rom I've used. Certainly better than the standard rom, much better.

Both of them are great ROM but Ice cold sandwich has a better support and is updated faster at this time. Maybe it's because it's still in beta and it won't last, but you have more chance to have an update than with Virtuous Quattro.

would that slow it down since its actualy download the HQ version?
While i loved quattro, the camera was not always need but annoying when i didn't have it. The youtube made me leave it. Everything else was nice. I was waiting for a update to go back into it. It seems like everyone isn't having a working camera.
My GF on CM9 with her NexusS has working camera and youtube. makes me mad.
The youtube LQ/HQ problem is due to the video acceleration (and decoding), which is a problem universal with all unofficial HTC ICS roms and probably non-HTC phones too.
That is what the rage about the qualcomm OMX core libraries is all about.. it was used in previous platform releases in gingerbread, froyo.
For videos, Ice Cold is already halfway there - the OMX libraries are installed and working in the latest version, but code must be implemented before it can be fully working.
With the camera, it is always a work in progress mostly by twistedumbrella and nk111 whom continued to develop on the camera after zbwu86 released it. Front camera is supported in Ice Cold. Right now, the only issue is to figure out what is the cause between the glitches in photos half the times then we can all move on with a fully working camera.
Thx for your quick response guys. I am going to try Ice Cold Sandwich now as it's not in alpha version now and stable for daily use. Specially thx to kaijura
Hi,
I have IncS unlocked from htcdev with Hboot 2.00.0000.I installed Virtuous Quattro RC4.
I want to install IceColdSandwich Nutella edition but it requires kernel changing.
Here is my question Can i install the IceColdSandwich without kernel change ?
or how can i change the kernel without s-off ?
Thank you.
Ice Cold Sandwich youll be happier.

Yes you can use Ice cold sandwich without kernel change but I reccomend to use Tiamat kernel for smooth operation and you have to flash Tiamat kernel by putting zip card in SD card and flash as same as ROM flashing but with S-OFF only.

IColdSan is SICK but remember to read the install notes about the kernel and pray we raise enough money for a new phone for the 'Man' , yeah but I love this ROM also because there are many similarities between well just try it lol
Hi,
I installed the Ice cold sandwich to my Incs with hboot 2.00.000 unlocked from htcdev.com but it looks really unstable and laggy.When i updated the kernel with Tiamat_IncS-v1.1.4 the unlock button crashed.Is this all due to htcdev unlock ? Am i need real s-off ?
Thank you.
I believe you should be S-Off but try posting in the Icecoldsandwich thread, you will get specific help

I am currently using Quattro release and want to try Ice Cold Sandwhich.
Do i update the kernel first, and then flash the new rom? or the other way around?

first ROM then kernel, because ROMs themselves have kernels in them so if you flash the kernel then the ROM your kernel will get over-written by the one that comes with the ROM

i tried the one you used and had the same problem, then i flashed with Tiamat_Vivo-v022112 and it was stable.. try it, it should help
and no need for a full wipe for flashing kernels (though you can wipe the dalvick cache if you like)

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

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

Is there any Android 4.0 (Or higher) roms for Nexus One that's any good? I've heard that there maybe would be a new Cyanogenmod sometime soon, but I couldn't find anyone confirming this.

I have been using AOKP ICS version 4.0.4 build #37 as my daily.
I've tried searching the forums and such for information but stock android and aosp returns so many results that aren't relevant so I figured I'd just quickly ask here:
Is there a stock rom for the HTC one yet? Like just stock 4.2.2 android?
If not, are there plans for one or is there a limitation of some sort that would prevent it?
Thanks much.

Oh yes its 4.0.3. I mistyped. Now we have 4.1.2 which is arguably stable. We have 4.3 under development. We also started development of 2.3 but then I don't know what happened.
Right now development is a bit slow because of exam season.. I hope we catch pace in the winter..
