It should be noted that the kingdom ROM has a note that it should not be flashed until fixed

good point, i tried to see what would happen and the recovery stops it from flashing so it should be fine, but thank you

... that was brave. I was ready to try it out and then I noticed the warning in small letters below, I wonder what the issue was.

On another note has anyone tried the Incredibly Debloated w/ OC kernel? I am very interested in running this on my friends phone but I am nervous about the 1---> 1.65 ghz jump, can anyone confirm if it is stable?

thank you, and yes but something went wrong, when rebooting it got hung up on the htc screen so i flashed a different rom, but im sure it works im just not very patient.

Just read through the thread and it has major bugs ... No MMS or camera is a big deal for me ... It looks like a great start though

McLovlein13 · Jul 15, 2011

sorry i went to a movie... but my results arent too good, lots of FC's and no mms or camera like thetomlin2 said, also had trouble maintaining a data connection and soft keys on bottom dont light up but work, very strange bugs... it looks great, now if he fixes it itll be even better.

McLovlein13 · Jul 17, 2011

inc s based rom beta 3 is finally easy to download. check above

darkside · Jul 17, 2011

There is a new JDkernal out right now. 245mhz min/1500mhz max. I have flashed in on CM7 and it is sweet. It has some pretty cool governors that give me awesome battery life. Just thought I'd share my findings.
Here is the thread:[KERNEL][TEST] JDkernel Vivo_W v3 (7/12/2011) - xda-developers

McLovlein13 · Jul 17, 2011

yes under cyanogenmod rom there is a kernal, same one, and i agree it is very fast.

Addicted · Jul 18, 2011

I can't get the phone to get S-Off... I ran the AlpharevX.exe and it brings up the dos screen and just sits and says waiting for device. Am I missing something?

do you have all the drivers installed? make sure if you installed drivers by installing htc sync, to uninstall htc sync. the drivers will stay but the program will just be removed.

New & replacement Dinc2 phones are now coming "already updated" to Gingerbread 2.3.3

Does that mean no root and none of these instructions will work ???

McLovlein13 · Jul 18, 2011

no im sorry i should have been more specific, this is for FroYo only

Valkerie · Jul 19, 2011

Yup, I just got my Dinc2 today and it shipped with 2.3.3. :-(

My only hope are the wonderful devs or if HTC actually does unlock it.

So whats the best mod out right now that gives Sense 3.0?

le_butters · Jul 20, 2011

Anyone know what kernel. To use to over clock and conserve battery. I'm using miui it's awesome but want it to be faster.

darkside · Jul 20, 2011

Try the jdkernal, the link is in this thread. 250mhz/1.5ghz. Plus it has some governors that really help.

incredible s based, look at OP. Kingdom Rewind will be better when its stable, but that could be weeks

EDIT: SnappySlapMod is sense 3.0 and is looking good so far
