Ready to install ICS leak but need some guidance

[anon(94115)]

I am a chicken! LOL!

Do it, Do it, Do it, Do it NOW!

Come on, you know you wanna...

If you use Chrome and you don't want to remember all of your apps (like I did), there is a listing of all the apps you've ever installed on there.

Ok where?

so, if you flash this leaked ICS, can you still get the OTA once it comes out? I assume the official release of ICS will be more stable/reliable than a leaked version.

Depends. If the version number of the leak is lower than the OTA you'll get the ota. If it's the same you won't, cause you've already got it.

Sign in to your Google account on your computer. From the home page, click "more" at the top. Then click "even more" from the drop down menu. Then you should see "Google Play" about half-way down on the right. Once that loads, click on "My Android Apps" and you're there.

Never knew that before, thanks

I don't think so. I think once you flash a leak you have to flash the RUU of the official the same way.

I understood it as a matter of Verizon's magic computers scanning your phone and if it finds a version lower that what it's trying to send out you'll get what it's sending. If you flashed the .605 leak but then the OTA turns out to be .610 then you're phone will get the OTA, assuming you're stock aside from being on the leak itself.

Not that this isn't how it will be, but I think the HTC false alert Page in June said that you had to be on gb to get it ota. This would maj, sense to me sense with all the leaks ppl could be on anything lol

From a software developers standpoint, as long as you were a lower build number, you could take the update. From an android standpoint, who knows.

For me, it is going to have to be rooted JB for me to switch

No problem, my man.

U may have to do a factory reset if u develope any issues,I had too,along with a lot of others...ENJOY...

If things go wrong after installing the leak, do I have the option of a factory reset?

 

[skatergirl]

Ok ... so I am gearing up to take the plunge. I have a question: Can I download the RUU file on my computer and then place it in dropbox so that I don't have to download it from the phone?

I am sure I will have a number of "dumb" questions before I get to this project, like for instance: how do I know if my SD card is encryped?

Also, it sounds like I will need a few hours to get this done, as I will be starting with a new phone and I will have to re-customize my phone?

For those who have already done this, thank you for sharing your stories!

I just took the plunge yesterday and I am loving it. It's just like everyone else says, it makes the phone feel brand new. It's much faster, more responsive I've already seen the increase in battery life and just total overall smoothness of the phone. plus the look of the menus throughout the phone just looks way better than on GB.

 

[amadkins]

I also loaded the leak last night, and overall it is an improvement. The transitions are smoother, and the phone seems faster, but the change over gb is underwhelming. The user experience is nearly unchanged in my view as sense still dominates the interface.

Also, the HTC mail app still sucks as does battery life. 2.5 hours since I pulled it off the charger and already down to 60%. My overall take is that the handwringing I've been reading about on the various forums is unwarranted. It's a good phone with gb or ics.

It takes time after you load a new OS for the battery to get conditioned. You should see in an improvement in battery life in a few days

Not trying to be argumentative but Li-ion battery's don't need conditioning. The old ni-cad batteries did but that's why they switched. The device itself may need to "get used" to the battery or need internal calibration but the batteries are good to go out of the box.

That is really what I meant, and I knew when I wrote it I was using the wrong terms, but the coffee hadnt kicked in enough to change it...lol

One more positive: the random, 30 second 4G drops seem to be cured.

Use titanium pro and sync to Google will cut a lot of ur time
