Hawkysoft, if you don't like nob questions why don't you just ignore them and leave it to the moderators.
You just scare new user away when you run around playing police.
Do you have a count of how many times you been posting stupid remarks to questions you don't like?

You need to have your phone S-OFF to get ROOT. Cyangenmod is not ready for IncS yet, but they are working on it.
2.3 Gingerbread is ready via OTA.
The only way to get S-OFF is to get access to a XTC-Clips because there is no software solution yet.
You can read more about ROOT here.

When I asked why I meant you don't have to be like that just close your eyes take a breath and leave it to moderators.
Take it easy buddy!

I can understand if you posted this in the developer forum, but he posted in general. Yes he could've searched, but I don't understand why people think it is a terrible crime to post a thread like this. How does this lower your quality of life in any way.
Here's a guide about the PROPER thing to do when you see a post like this.
Step 1: Move your eyeballs 5 millimeters in a downwards direction to the next post.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit.

Hawkysoft, this is a general forum for help, get off peoples backs, your comments are far more annoying than any noob questions, regardless of how many times they may have been asked before, take a break man.

I did search around but kept running into ota gingerbread which I can't get cause on a different network, and already knew about no cyangenmod, that's y I bought this app and asked for helped. Sorry to offend u
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App

Thanks for some info, didn't mean to inconvenience anyone. Just was searching around and all I kept running into was ota on the network u bought it from. I didn't see anything mentioning s-off though but I well search around for more info. Thanks again for at least giving me a direction
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App

We will still get the ota when it's here. Has nothing to do with what network we are using.

Everyones a noob at one time.I help anyone i can no matter what or how little info is in there question.Telling someone to edit there post is in noway helping them.

Woody, it was a suggestion based on the fact that tensions are high here. We have lost at least 2 devs recently, with the last precisely because of too many noob questions/complaints. It is a developer's forum so it is a reasonable expectation that posters are knowledgeable. I'm not criticizing him, just pushing him to go read a little. A quick glance at the stickies would lead him to more than one thread that would answer his question. Users should at least exhaust the basics before asking for help.
Anyhow, your sentiment is good; It is great of you to offer help. If he edited his post or posted a followup with more info, I too would have offered help. But if we want XDA to survive, and in particular, the Vivid section, we have to maintain some minimum expectations.

Depends entirely on what your experience is. There's a big difference between learning to cook having never cooked a thing in your life, and learning to cook French cuisine if you're already a master sushi chef.

I'll play it safe and say I've never cooked a thing in my life, but my dad is also a system engineer and could help if I needed it. I'd rather learn without his help.

Start with an RUU. Run the RUU on your PC. Stop at the first screen after it's done loading, don't proceed, but don't close the window. Start/Run and type %TEMP% and hit enter (this will take you to your user temp folder). Sort the folders by date and open the newest. Here you should find Rom.zip. Use this as your base ROM in the kitchen. Root it, deodex it (or not), zipalign it, etc - and you end up with a flashable ROM from an RUU

Cyanogenmod fix

But thanks for this info anyways like I said if I ever get time ill Gove it a try (unless someone beats me to it ...I have a mini guide on how to compile cm10 for the vivid in the cm10 development thread in the general section...back when you could still compile it, feel free to follow it bit I won't be able to provide much support...like I said I'm busy)

Alright...trying some new things...let's see if they help the vivid, OK basically I'm using the msm common file (basically similar HTC devices all use this...) any ways I noticed they had there own modified version and I noticed they had done some edits to fix camera for them...so I'm gonna use there msm common tree...another thing I'm using the qcom audio, they did some edits to get audio working...(both the trees mentioned are from the sensations working cm10 build)
If anything improves then I'll keep them, if things improve and break other stuff I'll go back, and then manually change the files I think need to be changed

I'm sure Viper and his team will dissect this update in short time. I am new to custom ROM's and really loving ViperROM and don't want to do anything to mess with success!

I have it downloaded, however whenever I go to install it reboots, goes straight to recovery, and never actually installs the update. Any ideas?

Does anyone know if this includes the camera fix? I thought the camera fix was on the .12 update and this is .10. I am assuming no.
