Does anyone think or know if htc will roll out an update for the G2 to get android 2.4. As we already know it we will be getting android 2.3 gingerbread sooner than we think

Yea maybe it will be for high end 3D devices only to enhance 3D experience, and G2 is not 3D, like evo 3D, G2x, and the 3D devices to come

Ehh, I expect the nexus s will be able to handle it, but it will most likely be geared towards dual core devices. We'll get it, if not htc than from Cyanogen.
But I wouldn't worry about this for a nice long while.

Google announced 2.4 at Google I/O 2011 the other day, but didn't say that 2.4 was Ice Cream. I think 2.4 is just an updated Gingerbread, sort of like 2.0 to 2.1 was still Eclair, and 3.0 to 3.1 is still Honeycomb. I have a feeling Ice Cream will be something more like 3.2 or higher, since it's supposed to be the fusion of Honeycomb and Gingerbread and cover all devices.
That being said, I'm hopeful that Google will cover us with the update, since HTC is one of their 18 partners that promises to give quick OS updates within 18 months of the device releasing, of which the end of this year still would cover us.

Most refs on the 'net state the next version's number to be 3.4. They certainly won't be naming is 2.4 since 2.4<3.0. You simply don't go backwards in versioning.

Yeah, Google will announce the updates. What about the carriers and manufacturers who like to skin their Android builds with buggy-at-best themes like Sense and Blur?

To elaborate a little more on what Gawantu said, at io, Google said they partnered with the manufacturers and carriers, including HTC and Motorola, to bring out updates for up to 18 months after a device is released. But how quickly hasn't been said.
Honestly though, if it took the CM team just 4 months to bring CM7 stable to 20 something devices including a couple tablets, with different hardware, while doing it in their spare time all the while having to reverse engineer and hack their way through it. It shouldn't take any longer for the professional developers at say, HTC, to bring an update to a few that are similarly spec'd and have all the resources to do so even while making a new version of Sense.

So now that we have that super important technicality out of the way, any speculation as to whether or not we'll see ICS as an OTA update? I'm hesitant to assume that we will. I think CM8 is our best hope. Or CMwhatever.
CM9, lol
but HTC is really debating on relasing or not because of something to do with sense and they want to figure out which direction today... best bet is going to have to wait for CM9 like all of us are doing so impatiently haha
I wrote a letter to HTC months ago asking the future upgrade
they didnt give me clear answer
Seems to me that DZ will not get further upgrade

From my understanding HTC will only be releasing ICS for 1ghz+ and duel core devices. But seeing as our DZ is capable of 2ghz+ someone should be able to get it working

HTC hasn't stated any restrictions for the upgrade, but they are a business. The G2 wasn't a huge hit (not sure about the Desire Z), and we have already seen a major upgrade for our device. Do the math guys.

It has been announced, the source and the galaxy nexus will drop in november-december. We are not going to get it officially, but as soon as the source drops, a few custom roms will come up.

No. Support for the Desire/Bravo has finished. Although HTC have posted on Facebook that they hope to get it on as many devices as possible, what they mean is that it will most likely be only on phones that have been released in the last six months. Bear in mind that the Desire is coming up for its second birthday...
The only hope for ICS on the Desire is in the hands of the Devs. If/when they can port it (and I'm sure they will) then that it the only way you will be able to get it.
I been visiting the Cyanogenmod nightly download page for the SGSII here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=galaxys2 which they started to get the nightlies for CM9 on the 29th of last month.
those nightlies are NOT for us, but for the international version of the SGSII.
Where, oh where, can we get some CM9 nightlie love'in??

We're waiting for T-Mobile to release it to our handsets. Your correct about 'also' us waiting for DEV, since ICS has already been released, its a matter of the strenuous porting. Also, the drivers are totally different from the ATT and the international version.
It's just, I'm not feeling the love since CM9 nightlies are available for the ATT & international version but not for OUR handset.

Dude, be patient. The AT&T version is the international version just in a different casing. Both are based on the exynos chipset. This chip was being worked first, followed by ours (MSM8660).
From the man himself on his cyanogen mod blog:
"Currently, you can compile CM9 for a small number of devices- notably the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi and T-Mobile versions), the HP Touchpad and Motorola Xoom. The next devices to show up will likely be a whole array of Samsung phones (Exynos chipset), with devices based on the Qualcomm MSM8660 and 7×30 chipsets to follow."

Think of it this way: the JB source code will be pushed to AOSP sometime after the Nexus 7 releases. So that means mid July at the earliest.
Then, from there, depending on the code and difficulties migrating, it could take a day, just as much as it could take a month. I'm not a developer so I can't accurately judge when we might be seeing something, but that's the best guess I can come up with.

Source was released right when it was announced at Google IO.
It just might require different drivers. Im not sure though of the changes.

Source has not been released yet. What was released was the SDK so that app developers have a couple weeks before JB gets released to the masses.

As you may have noticed google releases updates first to it's devices. Of course I'm curious to know when the next will be, not that I hate JB, but updates are so exciting. I bought the GSM phone from the play store, so I should receive the updates first, right? Last thing, has KLP been confirmed?

So obviously the best course of action is to bump them.
To the OP: No one knows anything about KLP-- no concrete details have been leaked or officially announced thus far. But I think it's very safe to assume that you should not expect it until Q1 or Q2 2013.
Sorry for my curiosity.

^ this. are you kidding me? this is why small updates come out without huge feature increases, because people have barely had the newest thing and they're demanding more already.
seriously close this thread, no good discussion will come of it.

The Google guys can't be that retarded to release a new version of android when there are no other phones with jelly bean besides the nexus s and gnex. I think the next major update (aka klp) will be announced june - july 2013. Till then we will get minor updates (4.1.2, 4.1.3...)

A new nexus is always released with a new system version if history is to repeat itself.
Nexus One - Eclair/Froyo
Nexus S - Gingerbread
Galaxy Nexus - Ice Cream Sandwich
Nexus 7 - Jellybean
Assuming history is followed we should be able to expect a new version with the next nexus. But we must keep in mind googles plan for 1 major update/year and with that in mind it could be June when we get our next major release.
The waiting game begins...

I'm just the opposite. I get bummed when the new os comes out. It seems like all the custom ROMs just about become perfect, then they get abandoned to work on the new os.

are you kidding me? the facts he gave you about the different Nexus phones are EASILY google-able.
the rest is just him speculating anyways, which accomplishes nothing other than to sort of semi-satisfy your "blind curiosity" that is clearly you just trying to blind us with the fact that you're LAZY to look it up yourself.
Go to rumor sites if you want speculation, this is NOT rumor site, and this forum for the Nexus even less-so.
