Now it's only a matter of time till our awesome devs get it to run on our phones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Devs, Go Devs!
let the development start !!
REALLY exciting news!!! Hope the CM team picks up ICS in their nightlies quickly!
Cant wait to try the new interface/functions, some features should be similar to Sense roms.
Awesome!...now both the devs and the CM team can work on outing above perfect ROMs for our 'still very much alive; HD2!!!...its only a matter of time i guess. And with talk of a possible Siri port for Android, things are really looking up for the HD2...and dont forget that the full 576MB of RAM has not been unleasehd until now.If all the above is made possible, i think the HD2 will be relevant for at least one more year...
Woohooooo..!!!
Gonna get the ICS on the HD2 pretty soon now..!!!
Yessshhh!!! Cmon devss !! Ics before xmas!!! :d
Wrong section
woop woop !

You cant compare stock Android to Sense. Sense is android with ****loads of bloat code added to it. Dont get me wrong I like Sense but im really looking forward to stock ICS.
Compared to Gingerbread, how long you think until we have a functional port to ICS, just asking since I want into Android when Gingerbread was released

It depends, GB and ICS are quite a bit different than froyo was to GB. If I remember correctly it took a couple of weeks to a month after GB came out when we had a stable enough build to be considered daily.
Proper drivers are gonna determine how fast we get ICS developed on the HD2.
I can't decide which I'm more excited about: ICS itself, or the included Honeycomb source!
Either way, there is no other phone I would want to have right now!

Well, as I remember it, Gingerbread was released around the same time last year. And just before Christmas there were many different available roms that ran smoothly without a lot of issues.
So lets, hope this will hold true with the ICS release as well.
waiting ICS HD2
Nice, cant wait till the ROM i use gets updated to 4.0
New interface/functions look epic
Will be getting a Nexus Galaxy next januari
free bump..

Whatsup with the Rom community..it seems really slow the past month or so..I haven't seen one Rom updated except for miui?? Sorry if this has been asked already.
Warm Z got released a week or two ago, and I think MikZ 1.0 just got released today. The new Sense 2.0 is nice, but it took a little while to grow on me.

Don't mean to sound like an arse, but I'm sure the developers have "real" jobs and develop ROMS and mods as a hobby. As flashoholics, our appetites are insatiable but there are plenty of ROMS (at least for the EVO) and tweaks to feed the beast until something new comes out. Speaking of new, mik released his z port today. Take it for a spin.
That's because there's already millions of roms that are pretty much the same (especially sense) just with diff tweaks. Devs beat the dead horse and we should see more once the new sense leaks or officially hits the deck for our evo. As aosp goes have fun with cm7 I'm a sense kind of guy.

Great point. My apologies to the OP if that's what you meant
Jesus Christ, slow? Erm, lesse,
CM7 just got WiMAX, and is about to get HDMI
Warm-Z was released
Honeycomb, Gingerbread, and Sense 2.0 ports are in the works
UltimateDroid is still UltimateKanging
The Development forum is the most active out of all the EVO forums
Not sure if OP is troll, or just incompetent...

First off i had hdmi(normal) and 4g when my evo released so thats nothing new. Its active but as far as SENSE goes all if not most 2.2 roms are still plagued w/ the same bugs. Most roms out there are the same just themed or diff tweaks. I agree it has been slow cause the same 2.2 base is all they have. When it comes to aosp, we all know Google/cyan takes care of biz and stays on top pushing out constant updates for their star children( nexus 1 and s). When a new sense rom pops up I'm like ehh another rom diff tweaks. The z beta builds are cool but lets see the real magic when sprint/HTC gives us 2.3 android/sense update.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I can't wait! I know we have 2.3 already but am very excited bout some new roms based off of it using the proprietary drivers and stuff that was made specifically for this phone! I know the desire z finally came out but not a big fan of sense. Love my CM but ready for a change of scenery I did not have this phone in the beginning but I'm assuming there was a butt load of custom froyo roms based off the official till froyo became old news.

the leaked gingerbread build for the g2 is the official and there are already asop roms out. check out rmks glite rom.
Totally agree with you OP! Use to like sense but not much anymore, to me feels like a bloatware and takes up to much resources. Whilst I do love CM7, theres always somthing that doesn't function quite right.
Has the official 2.3 update arrived yet for the G2? Or any ETA's?

Its not the final. People who have gotten the phone with that build of gb on it from tmobile (refurbs) have been told they have accidentally gotten a test build of gingerbread on it. Also if it was really the final why would it have been finished months ago and still not released.

Hi everyone
In your opinion, what ROM under development now do you think is the one to wait for?
The one that you can't wait to reach a stable version, or that will give the desire some more days to live?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Oxygen is the one for me ;-)
That would be an ICS Rom with Sense
Oxygen 3, because if it fails, I'm soooo looking forward to going back to FroYo it is barely possible.
CM9 is the one i'm looking forward to - hopefully it will run without performance issues on the Desire!

Totally agree. Waiting impatiently for CM9. Hope it will be made for Desire. Now using MIUI. Satisfied with it.
ICS on Desire will require A LOT of magic.
Got to be ics rom if it can't be done shall be upgrading my Desire.

I'd love ICS on my Desire but I think HTC Sense will just mask many of the major UI improvements in Android and our phones are probably to slow to run the new sense that will be present on a 4.0 ROM
Ice Cream Sandwich should run better than 2.x, on the Desire Z, since it uses hardware acceleration for the UI across the board, right?
I can't wait to see an ICS ROM for the G2

I disagree. Lots of tech stuff from Sense is now directly in the system, which means Sense will be lighter, witch means it will be smaller, which means... You get the picture.
Waiting for cm9. Though I'll be buying the new nexus as soon as it comes to Norway. Its gonna be sad to put my desire away. We'be been through so much together..

Personally I'm waiting for CM9. Though my desire already looks a lot like ICS.
The ROM i'm waiting for is Oxygen V3.
after that CM9.
hope ICS on Desire is possible anyway.
What I'm waiting for is Oxygen 3, then I will see of CM9 is good or not. Finally, I will hope to see a stable ICS Rom with Sense. (although that would take quite a while )

Hello all, lets discuss your feelings, emotions, confusions:what:, predictions, fears, jubilation etc etc about the upcoming release of ics sense 4 for desire HERE, in THIS thread, and leave the dev threads for logcats, tweak scripts and bug fixes..... desire has a few devs left, try to keep them here.....
Regards
Fellow desire user.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Great idea ....
I never really got into Sense, as I quickly rooted my phone and went with a CM type of ROM - and now using BCM9 3.3.1
However, my wife like Sense on her Desire ... so I am keen to see v4, as this seems to have been stripped back a bit from the bloated GB version.
I originally chipped in towards Shaky's Desire so that he can get on with Dev'ing for it.
Hopefully it comes soon.

Lol.
Deal. If this means this is the last of useless Sense 4/ics thread, fine by me.
But you violate the deal, I guess we normal who don't want our phones be partially stable have the right to pull the big guns out? Or keep them that way.

Its actually awesome to have ics on our old desires...am satisfied with that...but to have ics sense...I can't imagine how superb it will be...great work devs..

Your choice, everyones got the right of having opinion... I personally love miui and sense roms although they have always been a little laggy for me later on [gb ics both].... cm7, oxygen etc have been super fast, but they lack the special elegance, beauty, whatever you call it....sense n miui, they LOOK good.... sense has the elegance, miui too.....cm7 has millions feature tweaks themes, but always keeps missing something.. oxygen is too barebones, and I hate the stock apps on it, almost always replaced with apps from store....

Anyone know - informed guess or not - weather, with the inclusion of Sense framework this will mean 720p video recording will be possible/ported with this rom? If so, perfect!
what???
@bingley
no one KNOWS that....
you get what you get.... i doubt whether devs will put that much effort into stuff like 720p recording, or 2way call-rec**8 watever that is, etc etc....... Even if they make a fully functional port will be more then enough for most of us..... i doubt usb tether will be not there and vid cam might give trouble just like ics stock.. otherwise the same functions wud be possible....
I don't know about the general opinion, but for me 2 way call record is a dealbreaker.

Yes, I'm aware of that. I provided the reason for me not even considering ics, not to mention tons of bugs and lag.
There recently were some Chinese Desires released with specs similar to our desire what proved our desire can run ICS Sense 4 romantic smoothly. Sense 4 nice. Would like to try it on my phone.

Once I tried ICS is hard to go back... unless I'm putting stability above everything else, which I am.
But I'm patiently waiting till ICS sees stability and smoothness, then I might reconsider it
And I believe it can be such a smooth experience and fast, not much diference from GB roms, after all, desire has a pretty good specs.
I think I heard people say Sense 4 is less mem hungry than sense 3.6 anyway
I have looked all over the desire forum and found not 1 sense 3.6 with ICS rom for our device. I think people are interested but i need to know facts do you want this rom ????
If i get enough people saying yes ill start a thread and port official ICS with sense 3.6 from desire s to our device.
i normally only dev for my own desire but when its stable ill release to xda user's. This will give us stable ICS but keeping the sense as we all love it to some degree. Let me know your thoughts on this by posting below or answering the poll thanks everyone.
Port away. After all, why not?

cool ill get to work on it but obviously i wont release or open a thread untill its in alpha stage and it boots up and works call's/sms data ect. but this can be worked on more easy because sense 4 is very heavy on the cpu but sense 3.6 is not so it will be alot smoother than the sense 4 roms.

I think we are all interested in a ROM like these, I think Sense is one of the best (launcher ?!) in the android market. It has to be stable and at least moderately fast, otherwise it will be doomed to extinction.

From the performance point of view it's a bad idea. ICS is not stable enough.Contribution to 3.x kernel or features fixes, camera fixes would bring much more.
