if you want sense, just wait. its around the corner im sure.
cm7 is gb if youre down to switch to AOSP. its fast as hell

LOL....."the now network" more like the late network. I asked the question to a representative he said some time this year. That's the best answer I could get out of him.

The official release date is Q2 of this year (Q2 is quarter two and ranges from april to july.
Couldn't find the link for it, but I know I read it on either Phandroid or Engadget.

Just so everyone knows I've never rooted my phone so I don't know all the jibberish means. Just saying.

This is stuff you can do without a rooted phone. In fact, it's the de facto way of doing it period, rooted or not. Lol, we're talking about Sprint and HTC's over the air (OTA) update to give us Gingerbread without having to root.

Forgive my dumb question, I've just been on XDA reading posts and learning how to customize my phone for a few weeks now. I'm totally new to the idea of rooting my phone and am still trying to figure out how it all works. What is the difference between the 2.3 Gingerbread version from the previous version on the HTC EVO? Also, where is this "thank you" button?? I haven't seen it yet. It's not to the bottom right of anyones posts that I've read yet. Thanks!
Ok! Nevr mind on the Thank you button. I refreshed and they appeared....... ~)

The difference from the stock EVO froyo and stock EVO gingerbread isn't much. It was a half ass update if you ask me. The only good thing was the developers getting more tools to make more stable roms for us root users. If you do decide to root, I would suggest mikg 1.03. Great Rom and it has sense 2.1 and the cool parts of sense 3.0
EDIT: you also lose the ability to access n signal wifi with the ota gingerbread update, but if you are rooted than you can just flash the modified kernel the awesome devs cooked up.

And the thank you button will show up when you hit 10 posts...

Does anybody else think the Gingerbread OTA will bring Sense 2.0+?

Does anybody else think that the gingerbread ota will bring us the new version of HTC Sense (2.0)?

I would think it would. I hope so, i love 2.0 on business z
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

pardon my ignorance - but that is new in sense 2.0?

Just my opinion, I've tried the gingerbread and Z ROMs.
Meh...
not nearly as big a thing as it was between Froyo and it's predecessor.

yes it will and i bet that it will be our last "Big" update too for the incredible.

Yeah probably :/

sure hope so

Unfortunately. But there's always XDA . My friend has an Eris and its stuck on 2.1. And yet there are still active developers for it. And stable gingerbread roms. I have faith in the community.

Let's hope. All we can do is hope.

sense 3.0
sense 2.0 is kind of old now because of sense 2.1 and sense 3.0 on the evo 3d. I hope it comes with 3.0 because of the carousel effect.

I can't wait, I love some GB aspects of AOSP roms like CM but really prefer the appearance of sense roms, especially Z roms with sense 2.0.

If it doesn't I'm gonna be pissed

The problem is, we have to deodex and remove a bunch of stuff just to even get it to fit on our phones. 256mb of space isnt even close to the size of the roms most of these sense 2.0 and 2.1 phones are coming with.
Most of my sense 2.0 ports so far, i had to remove at least 200mb apps, odex files and extra Verizon stuff. Etc...
Im not sure Verizon would be ok with not being able to have any Extra's at all.
Im not sure they will uprade Sense simply because they wont be able to fit it.
I have asked HTC on twitter like 3 or 4 days ago if they can tell me anything about it. They are yet to respond.

HTC never responds to Twitter and Facebook, but they are really good about returning emails

Dear (my name here),
I understand how exciting it is to have the latest updates for your Incredible. Google has announced that most Android devices that were created in 2010 or later would receive the Gingerbread update. However, we do not have a time frame of when the update would become available. We will not know which features would be included or updated until the update if ready for release. When updates are announced, you can find the information at www.htc.com/us and www.twitter.com/htc.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
Sincerely,
Lisa

my thought is that it will probably be like the Eris 2.1 update. It will have most of the gingerbread goodness, and there will be a few sprinkles just to add some flavor, but the official "GingerSense" will probably not have all of the sugary goodness that we want in our Rom. How else will they generate upgrade eagerness in all of those who don't explore all the goodies that come with rooting and flashing the beautiful roms we find on XDA.
Personally, I'm rockin the WarmZtwopointtwo.
IMO, an official GingerSense update will need to be pretty nice to overcome all of the custom options we have available to us. (And really, waiting for that update to be torn apart, gutted of all the ridiculous bloatware, padded and polished with root app goodness, then zipped back up...is probably going to provide the best GingerSense Rom update that we can expect)

I'm willing to bet that we will not see Sense 2.0.

Possible OTA

Rumors of ota coming to fascinate, inc, and inc2.

jcase is saying that it's froyo. bummer.

I wonder if it's just a maintenance update, or to unlock bootloader? They did say not to expect GB until August right? lol

Pretty certain that it won't unlock. It isn't GB, but it'll be nice to have some bug fixes.

No, I know. I'm just saying that the OTA isn't an update to GB. It'll still be 2.2.

Maybe its a preperation patch for a future bootloader patch. Or just a bug fix patch yea.. either way anything is better than nothing!

This maybe still just rumor but some one in fascinate forum posted they looked earlier in Twitter postings and said it maybe GB. Honestly don't think it is either but we'll see when it come.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App

please let it be a GB/unlocked bootloader combo~ PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE~
but back to reality, it's likely going to be a froyo with an unlocked bootloader, that would be my guess

Either one would work for us GB would be nice hut as ling as we get an unlock that would be nice.

Why doesn't the Inc2 just jump on GB? Will this just be 2.2.2? Hopefully, the extra .1 will be more than just bugfixes.

It could still be Android 2.2.1 with HTC software bug fixes (ie: for sense/rosie).

This already reminds me of the old Eris forums and rumors of 2.1 for the longest time
Ahhhh...
I loved the days before Xmas as a kid.
At least then I knew when it was coming

That's the idiocy of not shipping these new phones with the latest software. It just creates chaos like this. Ridiculous.

Unlocked bootloader please
sent via Droid Incredible 2

From HTC today:
"I understand that you are wondering when the Incredible 2 will have its boot loader unlocked. We’re pleased to announce that we have heard everyone’s comments and constructive suggestions and have decided to go forward with this initiative. We currently don’t have information regarding which existing phones will be unlocked. Keep an eye on our official website and official social media outlets for announcements about which phones will be bootloader unlocked and when."

[Q] New to DINC2!

Greetings! I am new to the DINC2, just downgraded from my Droid X2 (or upgraded, however you want to call it) and love it! The phone (unfortunately) came out of the box with 2.3.3 (I even asked the guy to check before he started setting everything up). Anyways, I came from the DX2 because there isn't much development going on for it at the moment and I honestly needed something smaller. So far I love it!
TL;DR
Holy crap did this thing come with a lot of bloat! I've looked around the forums and seen that GB is unrootable at the moment. Does this phone work at all like the DX2 as far as SBF goes (probably not, since RSD is Motorola)? Anybody have a clue when it's going to be rootable again? Like an ETA? I will gladly donate to whoever is working hard to make this possible!
Thanks!

From my less than 24hrs with the inc2 I have figured out there is no eta for root. You cannot sbf like motos. You can not downgrade like the incredible via a ruu. We are waiting for an exploit. It took over 2 months for an exploit to be found for 2.2. So it is a waiting game.

There is a custom sense launcher I the thread somewhere. I don't know if it works for us or not, but it may let you hide apps. I know launcher pro does. And has some sense theming if you want it.

This is true. However, if you can't wait a probable couple of months till root (by alpharevx/unrevoked) then you could always obtain s-off by purchasing an xtc clip. This is the only known way to root gingerbread currently.

Ok got it to load but it does not show how you did it. Do you plan on sharing your secret with us?

I may share, my method still wipes your phone, so I just moved everything I needed to SD.
I'll write up a tutorial soon.

You sir are a disgrace to the android community. Seriously.... asking for money for a root method? Nobody give this guy your money. He is clearly a troll. I doubt he even has a method for rooting. He will probably take your money and run. Even if he does sell you a working method you would only be contributing to this kind of behaviour.
Optional donations? Absolutely!
A fee? GTFO!

I was thinking the same thing and was going to say something but I figured I was probably just feeding the troll, but I doubt he even has a method either.

No worries guys... I've figure out how to create an exact replica (taste, smell, and feel) of the female anatomy using three pieces of rye bread, a jar of peanut butter, and four safety pins. I'll have the cobstruction tutorial up tomorrow.
