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...

erklat is right... there so many devices with so many diferent specs to please everyone, that after some time it's unsuportable for then.

Source for honeycomb ported to nexus one
Our devs can easily port it to desire.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
From now onwards, HTC Desire users will rely heavily on XDA Developers to bring the latest Android to the aging Android handset.
The desire is not aging. It has the top specs still.
If HTC was smart they would charge a membership fee for ASAP updates with sense. I would pay 50 bucks a year for monthly updates.

I agree with you. I don't want a tablet OS on my phone either. There is a reason why Honeycomb was built for tablet and isn't built for a phone. It is because it was built for a tablet so it could contend witht the gay pad (iPad). Honeycomb will come to phones soon enough and it will be built properly. Currently, the port of Honeycomb is there but it is too unstable and is so not optimized for it. I think there are too many people wanting Honeycomb and want it now and devs are willing to do it. I don't see the point truthfully.
I don't think any of that made sense tbh.
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

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=)

Galaxy nexus is the name not nexus prime
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?

Your definition of supported might include new android releases, but I don't think "support" necessarily imply free OS upgrades...

That's exactly what they did to the Desire about a year after it was released. We got an update from 2.1 to 2.2 and that was the end of that. Kept being promised an update for 2.3 for a couple of months both by HTC and my provider, 3 Network and in the end they ditched it and the entire Desire platform. Which brought me to root my phone and install Cm7 on it and try out a whole host of other roms

Sense 4+ come in about 18 months of sensation Launch and here we are with 3.6, no update until now.
idk
i dont even think if its coming to htc one x, i dont think so because the jellybean didnt roll out to the other one series as well, only on the one x so i really dont know
The HTC One X is a flagship device, I bet it will continue to be developed for the foreseeable future.
Sent from my HTC One X
Usually htc will upgrade previous flagship device with their newer os but with different sense. Just like the evo 3d and sensation that upgraded to ics but with sense 3.6 unlike one x that comes along with sense 4.0. So maybe we'll get sense 4.6 rather than sense 5?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I fall in love with the new sense 5, but I'm thinking to buy a one x in order to wait for a lower price of the new one...
I already have htc sensation, the flagship of two years ago that don't received the sense 4 when htc one x and one s was released, and I'm pretty sure that one x won't receive the official sense 5.. maybe it will be update to android 4.2 and a light "sense 4.5", but nothing else in my opinion! I don't know if I should buy this device and use it for the next 7-8 months.. I'm so unsettled, I don't like tegra 3 cpu... Any one thinks that one x will have sense 5 rom ported from one? I know, it's too early, but I should take a decision in a short time!
I am pretty sure that the devs around here will be able to get it ported. :thumbup:
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I'm hoping that a backup of htc one image will be released soon, in order to start to have an opinion from devs... I'll decide if I should buy onex during the next week, and after that I've a short time...

they can still change their minds but this is just a common answer, The higher up execs probably haven't decided what they're doing so take this with a pinch of salt. if there's no other announcements by february then we probably won't be getting another update but don't quote me on it.

It can run on our phones fine but the issue is nvidia.
This article is about US version, ONE XL, but we won't get it either (I think).
But surely they have to support the One X+ as that is still under or around 18 months old, in which case it shouldn't take much to port it to ours.
With the excellent devs we have on here it would turn up quicker than HTC porting it to ours as well.
Yes they can change their minds sure and there is still hope.... Chuckle
