I just bought a HTC Desire S and it has ice cream sandwhich. I cannot find HTC Sense so presume it was removed when the ROM was installed.I think the ROM is called:

CM9 Ice Cream Sandwich

I am really new to android and rooting so would appreciate if anyone could help with links and advice. I really wanted to use HTC sense (and have also heard that HTC are going to release an official one later in the year, and I dont want to cause any problems). Any help?

run the fastboot command 'fastboot getvar all' and post the out put. will then direct you best I can.

You will need to setup adb and fastboot on your pc, and then boot your phone into fastboot and run the command on the pc. search read search.

Hi,

I am completely new to this and dont really understand what you mean. Could you possibly break it down? Sorry

The CM (CyanogenMod) roms are what's known as AOSP (Android Open Source project), and would not have Sense. A good rom to go for is Miui 4.0.3 (which has now migrated far enough away from its iPhone beginnings for me to enjoy) if you want a rock solid reliable rom, but if you want the weighty bulk and and largely uncustomisable Sense, go here.
