WTF... been away for a couple of days suddenly now can S-Off?? Will try at home later.

Also it seems that HTC is almost done with their official bootloader unlocking for Evo 3D and Sensation. Desire S will get it much later based on this sentence on facebook.

"We'll continue rolling out the unlocking capability over time to other devices as part of maintenance releases and new shipments."

Well that was easy LOL. Now to root!

Nah i just want root for now. Maybe later i'll try some custom ROM. Been interested with Virtuous Unity for a while now.

Disable Fast Boot in Power settings first then try again.

I'm currently trying out Virtuous Unity 1.27.0.

Some minor glitches because it's resized from qHD to WVGA.

Don't really fancy the carousel actually and now the wallpaper is just 800x480 instead 800x960.

Some new options & widgets and updated apps.

Overall very nice if a bit heavy.

Those old TVs and Monitor. Will try that pack later.

In the end i'm using Saga LBC Mod. I guess i still prefer 2.1 home screen. Some tweaks already built in like the CRT effects and circular battery indicator with percentage.

I haven't apply the wifi fix. Or is it built in into the ROM?

I prefer LBC since i still like 2.1 homescreen. But i read that LBC will have 3.0 homescreen later. I just hope that it's optional. Still not ready for other launchers.

I think LBC is snappier since it's based on DS ROM instead of Virtuous which is based on Sensation ROM.

IMO it feels quite slow even though Quadrant reports around 2K with 1.2GHz default kernel OC. With LBC i get around 1800 in Quadrant which makes sense because it's not OCed.

Stock ROM can only get around 1300.

Maybe need to give them some time to optimize it and resize everything properly. Some things still looks weird to me. The built in screenshot function is useful though.

Added some screenies.

System Panel. I really like it. The interface is nice to view system info. Not free though.

0.5.3. Don't use download accelerator else it will keep resetting the download.

My Maxis ROM gone already as i didn't back it up lol.

This LBC ROM is based on Telstra ROM which is Australian but the guy making the ROM is German so i find it to be a bit weird.

But almost everything runs perfectly, even GPS. Kinda don't make sense that Euro ROM can't detect satellite in our area.

You so rajin create thread there hehe.

That can S-Off hboot .00 and .02. Dunno what it can recover but there's already a way to return to S-On.

Eh yours is SiS set?

oic...

use the latest revolutionary tool...

feels like want to try MIUI hehe... but gonna backup this LBC rom first since it's the perfect replacement for stock sense

Kinda common problem but usually fixed if you use GPS Fix or similar apps.

Finally took the plunge and installed Hydrogen Mod.

First impression. BLOODY FAST LOL.


Weather should be showing Durian Tunggal lol.

Now trying to look for alternative apps to replace the familiar Sense widgets. Maybe i'll try not to clog the homescreen as before.

Read 1st post.

Or go to XDA. But TS is also there with the same guide here.

Hydrogen feels faster i think. Maybe because of the lightweight launcher.

Tried Zulugen for a short while. It uses either Launcher Pro or ADW by default.

Refer here.

I can't use new market. It keeps FCing. But some other people doesn't have that. But other that everything seems to work. Try checking the thread at XDA.
