Official support is over. Though there was one update for Froyo after the 2.3 release IIRC.
Yeah i could never install it. And 2.3 gives me much better battery life and app2 sd is great

reason I'm never gonna buy phones made by HTC, or any other manufacturers. My phones from now on will be pure Google devices e.g The Galaxy Nexus/Nexus Prime. Looking forward to the Samsung/Google unveiling of the upcoming Android OS and device.

No proprietory UI either.
Hopefully a Moto based device will come out, so we dont have to worry so much about build quality.

I think you might find soon that Google consider the Nexus One dead too. Which is a shame. Its still a very powerful phone. Internal specs higher then iPhone 4 as that is under clocked.

Get your grip ffs. No one in the sane state of mind would support device that is more than a year and a half old. I can't think one company in the IT industry that supports legacy devices, so I'm hoping you could enlighten me?

Because they make one phone/year, while most Android OEM's make 3-4/year so its hard to keep up updating every single one of em... Besides, Apple cuts most of the newest iOS features from the previous generations of iPhones, and thats something I havent seen happening on Android... You will either get everything from the newest Android versions, or not get it at all...

Hello guys.
Does someone knows news about possible future update with ICS?
Google said that every mobile capable to run Gingerbread will be capable to have ICS...
Thanks in advance for your time.

Officially, no, but trough xda developers, yes
Desire HD is more than capable. the problem is with HTC. Somehow i doubt that we will get the official ICS.
What's good about android is that we get to have independent developers developing roms for us so I'm pretty sure we will get an early port for our device once the sources comes out.
Google should start releasing sources now!!!
I think this update will be the reason i finally root my DHD. ICS looks awsome. I'm currently just using the GO Launcher with a honeycomb theme and that looks and feels a damn site better than Sense
no official news by now.
we should wait for sense roms based on ice cream sandwich. I can not live without official sense on my phone personally .
yes, one of the reasons why i rooted my desire HD last week because i know devs will be porting ICS to our phone. can't wait for that to happen. I'll be glad to donate to anyone that will be bringing an early ICS port to our phone

HTC are reviewing ICS because some of the improvments in ICS was brought by Sense on gingerbread, but there is no timeline for any device to get ICS but Cyanogenmod publicly announced no CM9 roms will be out untill the Source is out. they dont fiddle with SDK's

Sorry Mr. Moderator.

I hope it will come soon officially. I really love HTC and their work but if they keep ignoring previous models to sell the new ones, I will definetely change to samsung or sth else. Making you do things which only they allow is one of the reasons I hate about Apple, which even they are upgrading their previous devices, HTC is acting even worse. I already feel extremely disappointed about Sense 3.0 or 3.5 not coming to DHD officially, that would be too much.
Here is the Nexus Prime dump.
Hope some devs will take it on and port it=)

I'm really glad seeing that developement in Desire HD Section goes that fast forward
But the devs need the source code of ICS , which will be released if the Galaxy Nexus gets released... doesn't they?
SO it will be a matter of time until ics will come on our desire hd's ..
maybe we just waiting the dev to port it to our DHD....

+1 I especially dislike not being able to update my device just because the manufacturer doesn't want me to, lucky we have xda. According to mike the ARHD dev sense 3 and 3.5 will soon come to DHD officially. The current ARHD rom is a leaked official sense 3 rom from HTC.

Huh?
It will be great if Desire receives ICS but I doubt because of marketing reasons. The guys from HTC want to sell their new phones to old customers as well as new ones so the old Desire won't get an ICS update, as it didn't get an Gingerbread one (with new Sense).
Desire isn't a recent device anymore
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Yeah, but I think there's a bit of good will at stake too. Many people are on contract with months left and aren't willing to shell fora new device just yet.
If HTC nurture the customers that have had a good experience with the desire (I'm one of them) perhaps they won't be lured off to samsung, motorolla, lg, huwai, nokia etc come end of contract.
I reckon if they could do it with sense they would.

Then you either spit moar dough when you buy it to get shorter contract, or you take a two year, and then don't whine every second about it. I won't even mention shelling two year contract in early 2011. and similar silly moves.
I think some of you are forgetting the Gingerbread update saga.
After several announcements and retractions from HTC only an unsupported developer build was released.
ICS will only ever be a custom build from the dev community.
Fingers crossed for CM9, hardware permitting

Desire was never a recent device in the first place.
If HTC could release ICS loaded with their sense experience, while leaving room in the rom for carrier apps they would. Perhaps it's naive of me, but there you have it.
Problem isn't the age, or the cpu, or even wanting to force you into a newer phone. It's the limited memory with which to drive a relatively high pixel count on the screen and a version of software that probably wasn't even dreamt of when the desire was getting her specs.
The development community will possibly be able to shoehorn ICS on, without sense, but htc is saying they don't have time to bother with that level of customisation for an older device. If it were simple they'd do it.

HTC's making money out of selling phones. The End.
Not from supporting new shinny flagship os's for "Mezozoic" phones.
Look at Apple, they support almost all new os's for deprecated phones but with small feature set and performance penalty.
Is that what you want?
Hi there,
Is it even possible to port over the HTC Flyer ROM for the kindle fire? I just think it would be cool to have a Sense ROM out there for the Kindle
ps. sorry if this is in the wrong section. im new to the forums

This probably won't happen for your Kindle Fire's. HTC Sense has it's own framework to work around and to get it to work on a non-htc device would require working from the ground up. Which most devs arent going to put in that much time. Currently I have only seen a sense build for one non htc device (Nexus S I think..) and that doesnt mean there aren't more though.
In all I am just saying don't get your hopes up for a build, or a mostly functioning one at that.

Beat me to it. I'd owned a few other non HTC devices hoping that Sense would be ported. But after extensive research and having done a few simple mods myself to Sense for theming, it's quite an undertaking to get Sense running smoothly. It's pretty fickle like that, porting over Sense features between HTC devices with different Sense versions is hard enough.
tldr: Don't get your hopes up. Do what I did and install Launcher Pro and Fancy Widgets and do your best to make CM7 look like Sense.

Maybe we can start this project and ask devs to help i have ported sense 2.1 from nexus s 4G to 3G and i want to help this can become a amazing rom.
yesterday i already tried building the rom but when i flash it with TWRP it reboots while flashing
Yea its possible and maybe a lil easier then a phone port. Theres no radio or bluetooth to fix. Just working wifi. Oh and I was gonna say the HTC G2 got a port (its a pure aosp) but im sure they did the ground work using the Desire Z.
Yes we can do it with the great developers of XDA.
BTW we can use the Leaked Honeycomb RUU from the htc flyer i have made a rom but it keeps crashing while flashing. I am trying to get it booted

BUMP to resurrect this thread.
I used to own a Palm Pre, and i can say without a doubt, that WebOS was smoothest and most intuative OS i've ever used..the ONLY thing that held WebOS down was the horrid hardware Palm and HP put out....
Please someone, I can't pledge a whole 100, but i will certainly pledge $40....it ain't much, but if you add up what the others say, it will get you pretty damn close to a new nexus 7....and than we could beg the great dev who does it to port it to the Nexus 7...
Come on XDA, lets do this...well one of you great devs do it!! lol....i'm a great tester flasher, but i'm no dev and i don't have the hardware to build it out...
I had the Palm Pre 1 and still have the Pre 3. They're great and easy to use devices. WebOs has so much potential, it shouldn't be given up that easy! It's so innovative and full of interesting functions. I would love to see a port to the One X!!
Some of it's benefits:
really fast!!
easy to use
a great solution for "multitasking" (some say it's a useless gimmick, but they should take a look how other OS's solved this problem (!...))
gorgeous interface!
ability to play .apk's (ACL)
Opensource
and far more things I can't remember right now
To compare how good the software architecture of WebOs is, take a look at the Moto Droid (Milestone 1) and the Palm Pre. While the Droid is very laggy on Eclaire or even Froyo, the Palm Pre with the same processor as the Droid runs very very fast and smooth. Even with WebOs 2.1, which actually hasn't been released for the Pre. There's a port of WebOs 2.1 for the Pre and even then it's still so smooth and fast. Flash contents on websites are running very fast, but when I take a look at my Droid using flash contents on websites...I can count the frames...
I still belive in WebOs, because it's, in my opinion, a great OS!!

You probably need to email and pm devs to get people to work on this. Look for the big devs on your devices forum pm them advertise it to them as a new thing to test and how fun it will be for them to do something new, then offer them the reward.
