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

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

[Q] AOSP 4.4

Has anyone tried compiling 4.4 with the current device trees? I've been told by a few people that it works for the most part?

atm there isn't any rom as i can see with 4.4...
Maybe will come out more roms when the update for the GE will come out

Which ROM doesn't have camera issues

I am just wanting to know which ROM doesn't have camera issues, so far I have had problems with CyanogenMod and Carbon. Omni didn't have issues, but I had massive power drain with it.
Am I going to be stuck with a Samsung\Stock based ROM?

hi. even if we have same model I9305 according on those i read, it still has difference on camera, so i suggest you personally do a test which rom and kernel fits your phone and camera.

Yes seems to be a fix for the i9300 but nothing for the i9305 which is unfortunate. I haven't found a real stable solution at the moment.
Omni was as close at it came, but had Data issues (now resolved) and bad battery drain.

No, I tried looking for a how to or something on it, I might try some time, I don't know exactly what it entails.

@superfes
Thanks for releasing unofficially CM12.1. I'm using it since yesterday and its working fine so far. However, I get settings fc sometimes and mostly on bootup.
Another issue is with camera focus on micro shots which makes the device force reboot. It was present in cm12 long ago but it was solved or vanished later. Now seems to be back on CM12.1
Of course without a log, we cannot figure out these issues so I will post it asap here.
Btw; thanks for including d2s feature in the kernel. I have been missing it for long on official CM ROMs.

Tested IR and its working fine, including recording. I'm using latest version of Smart IR Remote - AnyMote.
Best Regards

For some reason I wasn't able to receive calls. They said it rang once then went to voicemail. IR also wasn't working through peel but I never really use it. Other than that OMG the ROM! This is the only CM rom that doesn't have issues with my FFC on official CM it has a weird tint to it with every app

Everything works great other than the camera. Same issue as most here, using the camera most of the time results in a reboot of the phone.

Flashing the 2015-6-22 build right now! I'll update after it's been tested.
update: the camera seems to work fine, and doesn't cause reboots now. But I get random reboots just out of the blue. And that was happening before the update. But issues with the camera seem to be fixed. So that's awesome!

I'm gonna transition from official cm12 nightlies to this build. I am also gonna try the 20150602 cm 12.1 gapps build (located on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps) since this is a newer version..hope it works. will try to post any issues. If you don't hear from me, assume it is working great! Thanks for this build superfes.

OK loaded fine with newest version gapps, so far so good

I too confirm that force reboot in camera focus is now fixed. Thanks a lot.
However, wake features are no longer available. Looks like you have changed the kernel.
Can we use the kernel from the previous build of yours?

I was trying to fork this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one/development/kernel-elite-kernels-t2961835
But I messed up a merge, I'm trying to get it back to working, as soon as the merge is stable I'll build it back in.
Until then you can just use the AOSP kernel there.

Hi
I like this rom so far, but I was hoping to reinstall the Beats sound back. I downloaded the apk, but it says an error when I try to install. The music through the speakers sound rather tinny without it. Has anyone installed Beats or anything similar to improve the sound quality?
Thank you.

So I have been using this rom since the 25th as a daily driver, I actually have had only 1 random reboot (unlike on the cm12 rom I had previously where it would reboot almost every day) Camera seems to work flawless where some have reported that it reboots but is def fixed.
I am having one major issue where I get no service 90% of my day, and I only get an exclamation point next to my service bars. The only way to *sometimes* get it back is by going into my mobile network settings and toggling the preferred network type back and forth from global/CDMA + LTE/EvDo/EvDo only/CDMA w/o EvDo/GSM only (where GSM only was to force it out of the proper net type and back in so I could toggle it back to CDMA base right after) And sometimes that didnt even work. I would also toggle airplane mode on and off with similar results. It is quite frustrating. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I never updated my stock radio/kernel? Does anybody know a fix to this? GPS also isn't working (and hasn't been for over a year)
Other than that everything else is working great, best CM12+ rom out so far! Please, if anyone knows of a solution to my connection issues please share! Thanks!

Wierd Screen Glitch Issue

My Nexus 6 is on TeamOcto OS with their custom kernel but this glitch also happens on other custom firmware that i flash a custom kernel too.
When using certain apps like the you tube app or waze the screen glitches out into like 4 different boxes and the only fix so far is to switch off my screen and switch it back on. I want to know if it is due to a faulty part on my phone or if it is because of the kernel's i flash onto the phone
Edit: Will post a picture when it decides to glitch out, since it isn't doing it right now

Old hat, this glitch is. There are equal chances that it is either software or hardware related. The right kernel may solve this, as well as making sure to use the default DPI (560). If it's hardware related, you'll be looking to RMA the device.

Can't RMA it since I bought it of of swappa but I'll probably just try flashing a different ROM without flashing a custom kernel

This comes up in the ElementalX kernel thread every so often. Recommend work around is to use Interactive governor.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66708962&postcount=6656

I've flashed my phone to n6x to see if it was going to alleviate it and it hasn't done the glitch so far. Thanks for your guys input

I had this problem and the only two kernels that every resolved this were Flash kernel and LeanKernel (which is no longer supported and has not been updated in ages) Somewhere here in XDA for my nexus 6 I posted a photo of the same problem, it typically have happened after playing youtube videos.
I stopped using Elemental X as I have this problem with it every time, I know there is the interactive governor to resolve it but I just went to LeanKernel and then to Flash kernel. Problem solved.

Actually it is a combo of the two. People seem to think that any kernel will work with any rom. This is not the case. Each room team codes their kernel to work with the rom so other kernels may not work.

That's true, but I haven't heard of any specific rom for elemental x. Not bashing elemental x, it was my preferred kernel for my nexus 5. I am thinking it depends on the date your specific nexus 6 was built, some aren't affected, while some are . They were shipped with different eMMC and ram

True. This is why I only use the kernel that comes with the rom I am using. This way I know they are coded to work together.

Please excuse my bumping an old thread.
I recently decrypted my Nexus 6 and the problem completely stopped. The Interactive Governor solution only decreased the frequency of the occurences.
Hope this helps!

I don't know why included gapps and su is a big pro. You only need to flash it once as it survives updates.
Personally I don't think there is something like 'the best ROM' as everybody has different needs or preferences.
Also I am not the right person to recommend a ROM as I am highly biased as LineageOS maintainer.
But if you look at the other ROM's shamu sources you'll see where the real development was done
