It could be a very very long wait seein as there are a bunch of new phones for them to pay attention to while ignoring the Dincs.
Go ahead and root, tons of us applied the update manually to 2.2 without issue.
I have a family member working for a Verizon as a DM, I try to get information out of him, all he told me is that the Inc is "supposed" to get 2.3, had no timetable when.
When the Evo 3D comes out and the source code gets released for Sense on 2.3 hopefully the guys over here can make it work on the DInc.
I agree with Ben. Root and get 2.3 now. Why wait for a buggy IT'S when we've been building and debugging the source already.

If VZW releases 2.3 for DInc, XDA ROM-ers will do loads of stuff with it anyway...

Most of you guys probably only want AOSP, but for those of you with extra time on your hands and with nothing else to do I present to you my first ROM, built from Shipped ROM.
The ROM is completely zipaligned, deodexed, and most Verizon Bloatware apk.s are removed. If there are any remaining, please let me know in the comments.
This should be one of the fastest Stock ROMs available. I know other people may have created the same kind of ROM, but please, don't flame on me.
Of course, this ROM still runs Android 2.2.1, however I hope to update that in future test version, as well as AOSP.
I also must warn you, the file size is a gigantic 240MB. If all goes well with this test ROM, AOSP will be next

Probably not, these are new age modders who think just because they have a certain device it should come with all bells and whistles that take a good 6 months to develope. Did I mention they want it now!!!

Well, devs are staying behind because we are all starting to see how the game is going. Too many Android phones are coming out at once and money ain't coming any faster. I'm sure if people paid devs to come dev for the device, we'd have more devs...so if you want to pay for someone's E4GT, go right on ahead. If you don't want to, just wait it out. This phone is already pretty sweet and the problems we do have, a dev probably won't be able to fix those..so..yeah.
This phone is sick dude, just enjoy it and be happy that you don't own a device where you have to depend on the devs just to be able to get through the day.
Having it from release date, the OG Epic did NOT have terrible development. Just not the development some people wanted. And there were "some" people who were ungrateful and rude, like with any device. This one already has great developers, and we are slowly getting more. Be patient.

The Epic scene was pretty good. A lot of people came from that Evo...smh, the Evo messed the whole game up if ya ask me. Now people willl sit around and say their phone is garbage if it doesn't have the same dev scene that the Evo had.
Little do most people know that the Evo was damn near the same device as the Desire, N1 and Dinc. So most of the reason why its scene was so great was because a dev from any one of those phones could just port their roms over and all they had to do was swap out the hardware files and the kernel. Other than those 2 things, everything was damn near exactly the same.
Yeah I think we just have to be patience

I've seen a few well known devs from the HTC Evo post here, so I'm pretty optimistic.
Viperboy is coming. That's another developer for you!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
what do we really need here? cyanogen and miui and stock roms. that is asking alot but that would be epic. for now i am loving starburst. love asop but don't remove touchwiz launcher and widgets. just my opinion.
I had the First Epic and the Dev's there were GREAT. We may not have had as many as some phones like the Evo but the ones we had did great work and who needs 100 roms to choose from when the ones we had did the trick. We had some great Roms and Themes and the fixes came pretty fast.
I have not rooted this phone yet mainly because I have not felt the need. The only thing I am missing is WiFi Tether. I am sure when this LOS gets worked out and the devs get their hands on the original source we will see much more. I am grateful for anyone that helps make this phone better, but it is pretty dang good out of the box. The best I have ever had.
Where did u hear that from

Now?? pffft what are you talking about? They want that **** out on launch day! wtf you slacking devs that dont get paid and do this all for free?? Get back in the sweatshop and do work that requires more thinking than a sweatshop worker in china but gets "paid"(donations) less! These devs should worship us and do what we tell them when we tell them! When a phone is released that very day we expect EVERY MOD imaginable, every "bell and whistle" and a choice of at least 10 roms and 10 kernels..

sense is pretty hard to get working on a non HTC phone. I dont think I've ever heard of a sense rom (that fully worked right) ported over to a non htc phone(at least that I know of). It's not impossible(from what I hear) but it is very very very difficult(so I hear)

So what is going on? Any speculation? Development has been stale lately for the Inc2. We do have a great selection of very functional roms, and I appreciate that but not much new in a while. Have developers left or abandoned this device? And yes I know some developers have chosen not to post on xda anymore, but I am still not seeing much. I am not trying to sound ungrateful, this is just a general query.
Miui is still very much alive and kicking. That's good enough for me!

Yea Miui is nice. I was just hoping we would see some new Sense based Roms, or possibly some more themes for Sense based roms. I miss the days of the Droid 1 I guess, where there were so many different choices.
There is a new rom in development. The developer had a thread to get beta testers.

TSM Gingerbang and Skyraider are my two favorites...I was just getting the itch to flash something new. I think I have flashed every rom there is for Inc2. I have a list started for people over at Droidforums: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-incredible-2-roms/176783-roms-list-2-3-roms-htc-droid-incredible-2-wip.html
I don't get good battery on Inc2 HD for some reason, but there are some nice features in their roms. I ran Inc Sensation for a long time. I don't really like some of the things Root said over here at xda. If he wanted people going to his site he could have handled it without the vulgarity, but thats neither hear nor there.

phones are all different. I switched between sense, AOSP, MIUI and never bricked my device. Samsung device can't compare to HTC. That is just a bad assumption.

honestly relative to the size of the small root community there are tons of options for the end user
aosp alone has miui, cm7, tsm poolparty, liquid, omgb, omfgb...with all still in active development
sense has dozens of roms, from sense 2.1, 3.0, and 3.5 to choose from
i mean what else do you want? 500 new roms a day?
and really to put out new roms it takes awhile...ive personally been screwing around with 2 or 3 side projects in addition to the roms i have out for this phone and the samsung fascinate
people do this for free, and given how many choices are out there, there is plenty to keep you occupied flashing for a long time

Yes you are right. There are a good amount of options. I am also grateful of how well most of the Roms work for the Inc2. I was just kind curious to see if we were kind of low on the list for future development, but I wasn't taking everything into consideration. I guess I just have too much free time on my hand and I need to be more patient.
I also enjoy your and TSMs work, you guys produce some great roms!

Anyone out there interested in bringing Myns 2.3 over to the inc2??? i spoke with MYN and he said if i knew any inc2 dev that would be interesting in porting it he would be all for it. I freakin loved his rom on my original Inc but unfortunately i have no dev skills or experience Hopefully someone out there will want to tackle this project. i think it would be a great rom for us. PM me if anyone is interested. thx

Cool. Thanks for the link. I'll send him a pm and start on porting this over this week. I think the hardware hasn't changed a lot, so it shouldn't be too intense (I hope anyways...lol). Give me a few days and I'll post a progress update (or start a new thread if I get something worthwhile sooner...).

Still working on it... twopointtwo is a Froyo based rom, so I'm switching to the Evo 3D twopointthree and to see what I can get (Rather stick with the GB based ports, instead of rolling back...).

The Incredible version (twopointtwo) was Froyo, according to the information in the OP. The Evo 3d version is GB, 2.3.4, and the device specs are similar to ours, so it should work. I've got the port files swapped and will be testing today to see if it boots. With any luck, could have a working port by the end of the week at this rate...
I haven't tried the port file, so don't get your hopes up yet guys! I'll post another update later today and let you all know how the tests are going...
