Do you guys think well eventually get ICS? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

honestly? id say 2-1 we get official ics...it was promising that the og inc got official gb over a year after release, and id imagine we will probably get it
of course, worst case scenario we ll get aosp ics...ie cm etc

I think it will be a Christmas present to all of us.

I don't see us getting a vanilla form of ICS. That would totally change the look of what the standard non rooted user would be used to and cause panic.
It would be interesting to see how ICS and Sense will work together though and I would expect to see a version on Sense 2.1 with ICS more then anything

we wouldnt get vanilla ics from htc...just from devs building aosp
sense 4.0 is supposedly for ics
thats actually the bigger question mark imo
would we get sense 4.0 and ics or a dumbed down sense and ics?
idk what htc's take on that is

The actual ICS? Never officially, but 100% likely from XDA/Rootzwiki.
Will probably get a "Sensed Up" version by the middle of next year or maybe closer to Fall of '12, the fact that it's on Verizon adds at least half a year of development time. And also since it's not the HTC Evo or Sensation, they are not as eager to push new OS updates to them, so that is another number of months.
Regardless, ICS will be ported to the Inc2, and then just as with 3.0 and 3.5, we will get the Sense version ported to the Inc2 as well. Just don't hold your breath for anything official. More likely that some bored forum member will do the work than a multi-million dollar company like HTC.

Definitely expect a dumbed down form of sense. But who knows? I've been wrong before and will be wrong again in my life. Lol

Htc has already announced the devices that will get official ics, and unfortunately dinc2 isn't on the list

If they announce that the Inc2 is getting ICS now, it may possibly kill the sales of the Rezound. Just thinking out loud.

Google even said themselves that any phone running gingerbread can run ICS.

most of the cool stuff in ICS is already in some version of sense already. What I'm really interested in is seeing what HTC does with ICS.
I can imagine its gonna look sick. They did a good job putting it on honeycomb. That looked real nice, but on ICS, it could only look amazing. Then again, I LOVE HTC sense. It's gorgeous

This is dumped from the SDK, so don't ever expect anything truly usable to come out of it.
^ I was going to ask how this would be different from the source, but that makes sense if it's from the SDK. That's just used to make apps and such correct?
Well, couldn't you take the code used to write the apps and use that to figure out the code for ICS??
Just curious since I know nothing about this stuff.

ICS is supoose to be a stock android experience. Google has said that ICS is to end fragmentation across the various handsets. Differing UI such as touchwiz, blur and Sense do nothing but slow down updates to people's phones. I'd be shocked if Google allows its partners to slap a new UI on top of ICS.
FWIW, I successfully installed the two VZW apks over mine (I'm on CM7 #105) and have rebooted since. Everything seems to be working fine for me still. My phone network still recognizes my location just fine.

Nexus phones are designed to run stock Android, but I've read nothing specific about ICS itself being mandated to be stock and only stock. The only specifics Google has offered as to the fragmentation issue is an agreement with manufacturers/carriers to support new devices with updates for the first 18 months which, honestly, doesn't accomplish all that much. Given Android's update history, that'll generally only guarantee one OS version upgrade, two at the most if the phone is released at the right time to span two OS releases.
As for disallowing custom UI's, again, I've read nothing suggesting Google plans to restrict this. As it's one of the primary ways each manufacturer differentiates their product, I'd be shocked if Google can, or has any interest in, doing anything about it beside the aforementioned pledge of 18 months of support.

Can I have my jellybeans and eat them too?!

First off, I would just like to thank all the devs who have worked like mad men on giving all us dinc users some delicious Ice Cream Sandwich, for without your amazing work I surely would have thrown my phone in a fit of rage into a wall a loooong time ago. Now, even though there's no official word yet, until later this morning , I think it's safe to assume that Jellybean will end up being named Android OS 4.1 instead of 5.0 (ICS, but with improvements). With all of this in mind, is it possible that we could actually get some JB love? I understand that we'll have to wait until they release the source code to know for sure, but with what we've heard so far it sounds like it actually could be possible. Idk, am I just missing something obvious here?
P.S. I'm asking this mostly because I'm trying to get my posts # up (I'm new here, be nice), although I'd love if we could entertain this thought for a moment. I think I only have like 2 posts so far (cuz I ACTUALLY search for stuff, WOW!!!!) so bear with me, please and thank you!

My guess is we won't get it until spring of 2013. If ever. I hate how long it takes VZW and HTC to release source. Its just ridiculous.
I think we are blind to think VZW doesn't have an impact on when HTC release source for the latest google OS's.

You guys will like Jelly Bean. Ive been using it for the past 24 hours now. It's really smooth. Some of the new stuff is really cool. Google Now will make Siri look old hat
I don't think it will be to unreasonable to see JB make it to the Inc2. I did a few edits today, and used the same apktools that I use to decompile and recompile Ics with, and most of the edits that I made are in the same spot as they are in Ics.
Hang in there, it will be soon

1) being one of 2 or 3 people on this device who actually works with this stuff, im qualified in saying its not any better help than the chinese inc2 roms or the previous inc s ics roms...unless cam libs fix flash timing
2) we need kernel source, and not kernel source for the vivo...i have repeatedly contacted htcdev and keep getting the same run around that they release source 90-120 days after an ota...so for the chinese inc2 ics roms...that could be as late as october
3) no, its not as good as official inc2 verizon ics...not at all...please dont spread false information
edit:
4) it doesnt mean anything in relation to our own timeline as to when we will get vzw sense ics...the inc s got sense 3.0 updates that we never got, and its a gsm phone that updates (in theory) much faster than ours do

Will JB be 100% working for our phone when the tools are released?

At the IO google said that they would release JB developer tools for JB. So will we have the full potential of 4.1 JB?
I ask this because JB probably won't be released (offically) for our phone.
PS: do you think the performance boosts of JB will have an significant effect on our phone? It seemed to on the nexus.
Probably not. We don't have kernel source for ICS as it is, even though our phone is slated to get it, but I wouldn't count on it so getting JB to work on our phone is highly unlikely.

I'm 76% sure we will get ICS. They have it for the S and they said they would release it at the end of August.
You must consider that JB is just an updated ICS. So we don't need an offical JB to have it running 100%. And Google will have a dev tool out that may help us. Lastly they have a dump floating around. Chances are that we can use that to help us build a 100% working ASOP JB build. But this all depends on when or if we get ICS.

And you believe everything HTC and Verizon tells you...? that Dev tool is worthless if it doesn't include specific Dinc 2 files that goes once again back to kernel source. That dump isn't as useful to us as you think otherwise we would have fully working ICS on our phones from ICS dumps. Trust me, if it were as simple as you believe it is, our devs would have done it already. The situation with JB is pretty much the same as ICS if not worse since there is also the issue of resizing XHDPI JB to WVGA because there are no JB phones with WVGA resolution. Don't quote me on that last part, but I'm sure a dev can correct me or explain it better.

Nexus S will receive the update and it is a single core WVGA phone. So, I'll be looking closely on feedback from Nexus S users. That should give us an idea of the performance gains that we can theoretically expect, if any, over ICS. And there is no need to be overly cynical about HTC and their promise of giving us ICS. They said they will by August end and so just wait for it. Regardless of what may have happened in the past, you will just burden your mind with needless thoughts...

Its been clarified by reps at both HTC and VZW that what they meant was that the date is to be decided but that we will have it by the end of August. Take that for what you will, as I don't believe there has been anything official that clarifies this. I am pretty confident that we will get it and can only hope that we will get kernel source soon after.
Back to the OP's question, I highly doubt that we will have a 100% working JB rom anytime soon considering we still have issues on ALL of our ICS roms. Once we have official ICS our awesome dev's will probably be able to get JB working well pretty quickly.

HTC has to release kernel source regardless because of the Chinese OTA they released. It might be as late as October, but they have to release it regardless or else they'd be in violation of some law that has an acronym I can't remember.

OTA ICS will (should) help remove many of the small bugs we have with Camera etc... And once we get a hand on our kernel source, I believe devs will be knee deep in Jellybean goodness... The main reason why I am looking forward for the OTA is for the kernel source... Hell no I am going to go stock.. Once the kernel is up, I am gonna go with Nits' Sense 4 ROM!
The To be determined thing is crappy of them... They say on their FB page that the "Release Date" is the thing to be determined, NOT whether it gets ICS or not... which makes sense given it is in the table of release dates and given they previously confirmed to give it ICS... anyway, time will tell... No breaking my head on this...

We really only need the kernal for ASOP. IC sense 3.6 has fully working cam.... IDK about video. Phone video is pointless because it has low FPS and the audio is terrible.
Why is camera always better on sense?

Yeah, I should try that ROM too, sometime... I was wondering how functional it is... The Sense 4 ROM has some issues with GPS too (if you toggle it, it will not come back on). But I don't like how Sense 3.6 is.
Even if we don't get an OTA HTC still has to release source because of the Chinese and Inc S ICS OTA. That's why I don't understand why some of the other users are so anxious for an official OTA, even with these other OTAs flash timing appears to still have not been fixed, whatever that is I haven't had it happen personally (knock on wood). We all need to relax and just wait for source to be posted and let the devs do their thing.
On a different topic, anyone else thing the default sig on the XDA app is kind of redundant?

In my experience it was bugless (IC 3.6) although it was laggy. It was laggy in the wrong places (homescreen, and scrolling through certain apps) and smooth in the wrong places (app drawer, GP, settings).
You need to check it out

I agree, there were a few things that happened recently that have gotten us excited..... (The S getting ICS and JB)....... but we need to chill out. And in the mean time enjoy what we DO have, and not think about what we don't and might not get.
Funny thing is this thread only exists becuase of the recent changes.
