A question of curiosity, does the Droid Incredible have the most ROMs? If it doesn't which phone does?
I don't think so. I know the Evo has us beat.

The OG Desire is doing pretty good they actually have a sensation port and we dont.......can't wait till our gingersense ota gets leaked and we can get some good ports up
So, the jist I get from this discussion is that HTC kicks ass at making phones. Yup. I know my Incredible has turned me into an HTC fanboy.
Can't help but suspect that the Droid1 has the most ROMs.

Im going to call you on this one. Have you looked at the Android Dev section of the Incredible vs the Thunderbolt? There are 18 devs in Rom Manager alone for the Incredible

OG Droid, first "droid" since Verizon bought the rights to use Droid in advertising for their Android phones.
G1 is the first Android Device.
And of course to answer the OP's original question, I'm going to say either the Nexus One or the G1. Both are known as true developer's phones. I mean, they have Gingerbread running on the G1!
What is the best ROM for the incredible , I am rooting my wifes phone and looking for a good rom. any help would be appreciated....
thanks,
Anyone know if & when Netflex app will be availible for SM Epic 4G??????

Netflix would be the only people who know for sure, however if you're feeling anxious you can check out this thread and download the "Device Check Disabled" apk file.
It is available if u flash the gingerbread leak we have. It works just fine.

Where can I get the Gingerbeard leak?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Netflix is probably waiting for the official Gingerbread release to make it available for the Epic. There are several ROMs with EE03 leaked beta Gingerbread in the Samsung Epic Development thread. They will all be on the first page.
There is one on the market but it sucks

Netflix doesn't like the DRM (or lack thereof) in any iteration of the OS pre-2.3. That's it really. Gingerbread or newer and your golden.

Partly true. Is not that Netflix doesnt like DRM on 2.2. HTC Evo is on 2.2 and getting Netflix. I beleive that HTC must have pushed out a specific DRM requirement in their last ROM update. Samsung didnt do that until they pushed out their Gingerbread version.
HTC is known to support their phones better than Samsung.
/\
Its not that either, read my explaination thread. It isn't because of an HTC update. Its because 2.2 was built off the snapdragon.

Sure.

That's where custom 2.1/3.0/3.5 ROMs come in.

I think HTC thinks Sense (2.1/3.0/3.5) won't run on the DInc. I also thought that Sense 3.5 was supposed to be the version that didn't require the hardware requirements that 3.0 required, so I would think that would've been the version they could've used instead of 1.0... At this point, I don't think HTC will release any more updates for this phone.
Sad really, cause it's a work-horse.

I agree, that's what they said it was meant for, so why not make that the last update? I think that'd be a good "note" to end on.

I think it was more along the lines of this was going to be the last official update so they were not going tto take the time to build 2.1 sense on a device they no longer support. They just wanted to update the base and interlace sense 1.0 and push it out. They did the same with the EVO.
Sent from my sexy assistant. (AMOLED HTC Incredible)
What i don't get is why they didn't just convert the incredible 2 sense to the incredible 1 with them being so close in specs. HTC should know what there devices can run but there holding the incredible back way to much. Then again we have awesome devs that keep supporting a great phone.

HTC and most manufacturers out there seem clueless. I mean imagine a world where the UOT Kitchen wasn't something developers had to come up with over months of dissecting the phone, but rather a software program that came with your Incredible that allowed you to plug your phone into your computer and make simple color changes and things to personalize your phone.
It's sad really because HTC is so great in some ways - they did afterall, put out the Dinc to begin with. But they do tend to move on to new phones fast...
Thank God for XDA developers!

Google never released Honeycomb; besides, its a tablet OS so it really has nothing for phones.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Oh....I'm sure if google was to release it the devs here on xda can manage to boot it on the g2....I've seen a youtube video of the phone with honeycomb but its completly useless
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Google did release honeycomb's source the day after ICS's source was released, No one has cooked it into a rom and honestly its not worth the effort.
dev's wouldn't bother building roms from source, when newer source is released.
Also, they would have the same issues with camera and fm radio not working in honeycomb if anyone tried making it, as no drivers have been made/released for our devices past gingerbread.
-Nipqer
If I recall the phone portions of the OS were completely borked anyways. Which is why the big G never released the code.
Did they actually release HC code with ICS release? I thought it was just that ICS included the HC changes plus everything fixed for phones.

Sooooo about these drivers does google have to release them or do we here at xda have to cook up our own because I believe the next ics relase should have a working camera right?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Google doesn't build the drivers, the manufacturers build drivers to make Android work with each different set of hardware. Its possible for the devs to do, but its very time consuming. HTC isn't going to make HC drivers for our device, since HC is tablet only. And effort (both HTC and devs here) is probably better spent on ICS for the reason that ICS is mostly HC but including phone functionality, and a few other features and optimizations.

Dude, they aren't even RCs! If you want a ROM that has everything working all of the time then either revert back to stock or run a STABLE release.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Camera kinda works means, it has some functionality, but is far from perfect.
You can't do video capture, and the camera struggles with anything above VGA resolution. So nowhere near the 5MP the sensor can offer.
It is quite hard work to get this **** working fully, you should appreciate what they have done so far. So stop *****ing that it ain't perfect.
-Nipqer
I thought you need to run a camera app for the camera to work properly.
Plus I can live without the Desire's camera, not exactly that great.

there have been approx 30 leaked revisions of ICS for our device. We should be seeing it officially any time now.

Edit:Our device is the epic 4g touch on this forum
If you were able to root you HTC the epic is much easier to root there are one click tools to root the epic in the dev forum sfubs has easy to follow instructions and there are gb based roms and if you want a taste of ICS roms as stated I would root just to get rid of bloatware
