Anyone have an idea when it will be released?... Theories? I am nearing the end of my 14 day return for my Inc 2 and noticed today that the X2 is supposedly going up for sale on May 26th WITH Gingerbread. Thoughts?
Umm have been reading on this and my question is why do you want ginger bread ? its just "Updated" version with nothing that is really new .

Are you serious? GB is significantly different from froyo. Better power and application management, NFC support, VoiP/SIP calls, SIP audio for video calling, better download management for HTTP downloads, new sensor support(gyroscope), audio, graphic and touch screen input enhancements for game developers, support for webm/VP8 video playback, aac audio encoding and bumped api's to 10 with more support for native code.
Not to mention the new skin for AOSP and the new multi touch KB. I'm sure I left out a bunch of stuff but that's what I can recall from reading. So that being said you should take a moment and actually do a bit of research before posting a response like that.

Okay true .. but I'm not freaking out like "Oh I WANT Gingerbread already" there is no point in begging for it .. its more like you will get when you get it.
But then again, it shouldn't be the case that we're still stuck on Froyo when Gingerbread has been out for so long already and Google has already announced Ice Cream Sandwich.

Again you guys need to research or have some actual information on the subject posted. GB is only running on a handful of devices (officially) and ICS will not be out for a while. So GB will come I'm sure, in its own time. So the majority of handset owners are "stuck" on froyo. Keep in mind any device with a custom UI is going to take longer than a vanilla device.

The Inc1 is getting it...... so I'm assuming we will as well..

I have no doubt just a matter of when not if. And when root comes (ever the optimist) we will likely have even more choices.

I've read in many articles that, HTC said that gingerbread would come in Q2, Since the end of Q2 is in june, i don't see why we wouldn't get in then, especially if the first incredible is supposed to get it in summer. Motorola isn't going to let the Droid X get gingerbread before the X2, i don't imagine HTC will let the first incredible get it before the inc2
I would agree too, I think they are waiting to release the bug fixes like backwards maps in the GB release. Costs them too much to keep pushing out patches.
i have a sample inc2 device with GB 2.3.3 sense 2.1 (s/w version 2.09.605.1 baseband 20.27w.30.0811u_1.07.00.0507_3) loaded. This is not a mkt sale device but since I got it with that loaded on it i know GB will be coming to all when verizon finishes whatever tests it does. Also since it is so stable, i doubt that everybody getting GB is too far away.

Was there any doubt? I mean the original Inc is getting it the DX and D2 are as well. Seems a no brainer imo.

well i knew it was coming but hearing that it is likely soon is what i was reacting to
Do we have any inkling as to what GB will look like and what flavor of Sense 2.1 we will get? The leak of GB for the Thunderbolt had Sense 2.1 with the Sense 3 notification pull down, but not the new lockscreen. The HTC Flyer is running GB and Sense 2.1, but the lockscreen is the Sense 3 style. I would love to get the lockscreen and the quick settings in the pull down.

once(if) we get root, DEVs can get us the 3.0 lockscreen the inc1 already has ROMs using it.

I am all for this, but it would be nice to see it come as part of the update from VZW/HTC. If HTC already has it for Sense 2.1, lets see it on our devices when they get updated.
I've read that only dual core devices will get the full on sense 3.0 experience(officially). Maybe jcase or one of the devs in the know could verify this?

The gb version I see is similar to the version the bolt shipped with. It's sense 2.1. No lock screen goodies.

I can hope...just make root easier now, haha.
finally got my Dinc2 rooted with the new software root but i'm having trouble deciding which rom to load up (first anyways haha) which ones have had you on the edge of your seat waiting for root/have been running like a dream since you got root for everyone? Also coming from the OG droid these rom files are HUGE! a big rom for my old phone was 80 MB but virtuous unity is 400 MB!!
Miui all the way
I think the file was only 90 mb(ish).

haha its funny you said that because that is the ONLY rom for the DINC2 that i know about. But i never could get used to it on my D1 so i don't think i'll start off this new phones hacking career with something I've already seen and didn't particularly like.
Virtuous Unity got an entire week straight on my phone before I went back to flashing again. Amazing ROM.
I think it depends on what you like. If you like sense then go with one of the debloated roms, or other sense roms. I've only loaded cm7 and had to go find some widgets to replace what I lost by leaving sense. It's pretty stable though and has great theme support. I'm not likely to go anywhere else soon.

Understandable
I always liked cm7 on past devices, but the sense 3.0 lockscreen is awesome.

Incredible sensation
Virtuous Unity 1.31.3
MIUI is amazing. Best ROM I've ever used (so far).
MIUI has its followers but to me its too iPhone-ish. If you like CM7 or AOSP roms You should check out either OMGB or OMFGB by R2doesinc. Amazingly fast and stable with great battery life.
I just got mine s-off and rooted last night as well, I think for now I'm going to stick with the debloated one (RMK or whatever)for now. From what I can see majority of the custom roms have random problems like data, wifi, mms, gps, and other stuff not working. I'll wait for a little longer till the devs work out the bugs before jumping on them.
I run rmk's GingerSense primarily (stock debloated, although I'm not running the latest patch), but I dualboot it with OMGB as well. Love AOSP, but there's some things I use extensively in the stock firmware.
I went with OMGB since I really like my phone as stock as possible. So far, so good.
After seeing all of these Sense 3.0-based ROMs hitting the development section, I was just wondering if somebody is working on just a simple, debloated Sense 3 ROM with little deviation from stock? I'm still somewhat new to this so if it's something that's impossible to do then I understand. Just curious.
I agree, Pete needs to switch over to the HTC side already....

He's still pretty dedicated to the Nexus S and Droid still so i doubt he's going to be choosing the Incredible 2 with all the new moto phones coming out, I'll think he'll go that route. I use Virtuous Unity, and it is stock I belive. If not, there is little deviation from stock.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
Virtuous is as stock a sense 3.0 experience as you will get on the inc2.
Virtuous is almost the exact same ROM as the stock Sensation. Hell it even still says the Sensation number under build. You wont find anything closer. It is debloated as well.
Thanks guys. I guess I will continue to keep Virtuous as my main backup.
pyramid and virtuous are both almost entirely stock 3.0 atm
After looking through quite a few pages and using the search I couldn't anything on a 2.3.7 Rom for this phone. I'm guessing that most of the Epic roms run off of the base of the stock Samsung rom. I don't know much about Samsung phones as I own an OG Droid running Liquid Smooth, and a Droid X running OMFGB and have found it easy enough to always update those to the latest version of Android.
I'm looking for a stock Android rom for this phone without all the extra crap attached to it.
I'm also trying to figure out how to undervolt this thing as it heats up to 104F after ten minutes of use. I put ACS's ICS EI22 V2 on there and it seems to have helped. While also uninstalling useless .apk's I don't need.
This is my wife's phone, so any roms where something doesn't work are out of the question. It was hard enough to explain the difference between Touchwiz and Launcher Pro. Thanks for any help you can provide!
2.3.5 is the highest stable stock rom. Check to the Development Sections. As far as UV/OC you'll find Kernels that support that as well.
is there are reason why roms only go up to 2.3.5?
Thanks for the help!

Changes above 2.3.5 are only for phones with the NFC chip which the Epic don't have and pertain to Google Wallet.
Will this be the last official update now that Ice Cream Sandwich is coming to a phone near me (but not mine)?
CM7 Selfkang reads as 2.3.7, but without NFC, it really doesn't add anything.

I saw that, but can't find a real changelog. All I know is that it definately made both of my phones run better.

Yeah, I think there is no real change for the Epic from 2.3.5 on CM7. It is more to keep all the versions uniform.
With a Sense 4a/ICS Sense ROM, this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598865), my Limited Edition Spiderman Beats By Dre headphones, some theming of my own, and a white case, I am going to transform my DINC2 into what I call an "HTC One Incredible S"
ok?
Beats already comes with Sense 4 by default. You don't need to flash anything else unless you want to mess it up.

Yea the great thing I like about sense 4 is that beats is integrated throughout. So it works on YouTube and Pandora

I thought I read on here somewhere that when we get ics we will still never get true sense 4 only 3.6? I know very little about the sense roms so I am just trying to educate myself a little.
Jayydude glad you got you a dinc 2. I ended up sending the guy that gave you his blackberry for free the batteries and charger I had offered to you for your x2 when you had problems. Him and his son was happy. You should love this phone over the x2. I am running the M5.01 ext4 and really like it. Also flashed the 3.0 patch to get the sick lockscreen. Some sick widgets and awesome battery life.

Just to clarify, last season's HTC devices get an ICS update in the form of Android 4.0.3/Sense 3.6. This applies to the Sensation (all models), Vivid, Amaze, Incredible 2/S and even the Desire S/HD, along with a couple of others.
You won't see Sense 4.0 on any of these 'older' devices officially. It was the One series' drawcard, and it won't be officially ported backwards. That's what XDA is for
That said, I'm really impressed with performance increases on the Sensation, Vivid and Amaze from the ICS update. Usability of Sense 3.6, especially the Launcher, is greatly improved. You should get a good little boost out of the official ICS when it arrives.

fwiw, it looks like msm7x30 devices (ds/dhd/inc s/inc2/is4g, etc) will get 4.0.4/sense 3.6 as thats what the desire s leak was
and typically the updates are all very similar to each other

Well I learned something today Justin, thanks mate!
Why do you think the older devices are getting the 0.0.1 difference? RAM?
EDIT: MSM8x55?

most likely they started working on the older devices later, and by then 4.0.4 was in aosp id guess
given that htc updates on the same os version so frequently, id imagine the evo 3d/sensation/rezound will move up as well
some of the msm7x30 devices on gb at points had 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.3.5, and 2.3.6 (dont think any of that chipset ever saw 2.3.7)

I just got it and hr ago, sadly they just sent the extended battery ( free ) today so I can't use it until tomorrow. But that's true no Sense 4.0 just 3.6 :/ But hey any add on to ICS is amazing to me. I love sense But I'm going to flash sense 3.6 + ics rom, beats audio + xloud patch, capacitive button fix, touch recovery, and etc. I wish I could get the on - screen htc version of the ics softkeys and disable the capacitive buttons + lights that would really be cool ^_^
