HTC Beginning ICS Rollout For Sensation - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/08/htc-ics-sense-nordic/
This might be good for us right?

At this point it is a good thing, I hope devs can get some useful stuff from it. It seems that the Sensation XL shares the same cpu & gpu as the Inc2. While the XE edition has slightly better tech in it.

It's only good for us in that it shows HTC is starting official updates
It's a MSM8x60 device so source when it comes isn't that helpful....if the xl gets an ota and source it would help a bit....but really we need our own update and kernel source to.get 3.xx kernels

Even though they arnt our drivers the update could give devs a base in making ics ROMs. If the sensation update was released tomorrow our devs could start working off the update. If they started working tomorrow, then in a few months when we do get it, the devs will be 75% done with the ROMs. All they would need to do is apply the appropriate drivers. Then we could start beta testing twice as fast.
What sucks is that we will be put on the back burner until all other phones recive the update.

There are already resized roms for ics sense that are better suited for our phone than sensation ics....however I've given up tryin.g to get it to boot cuz of my lack if kernel knowledge and help
If that changes ill try again...if not ill wait for a leak and keep checking with my source or hope some other leak appears

anyone else waiting for 2.2 before rooting

Depends how long you're willing to wait
Froyo should include A2SD, but who knows when HTC comes up with the 2.2 upgrade for Desire.

I'm waiting ;-). Everything that I need the phone to do, it does... SO no real need to update as of yet. Will probably wait for official updates as I prefer official releases (possibly less bugs etc)

Don't see where this hooks into Development or Rom cooking.

Isn't the whole point of 2.2(FroYo) that the Android segmentation is abolished and that we would be downloading Sense UI from the market.
If this is true we should all expect 2.2 the moment it is released as it will be a generic, basic Google ROM, then we would just have to wait for HTC to update Sense for 2.2 and we would be able to download that and off we go!
I am not sure if I am correct but this is the way I understood Android to be going.
i am actually, kinda scared of rooting im not 100% sure but seen somwhere a news bout release being sometime in the summer may-june think it was
I'm of those waiting... unless I can find a quick, simple and automated way of backing up and restoring everything about my current phone fast, it 'ain't happening until I see 2.2.
Many other reasons... including too many unknowns, unsubstantiated unclears, bricking not being an option for me in these months and so forth.

Dont bank on HTC being quick to update the Desire. They dont have a tradition of updating their top models any faster than their lower models, and we all know how slow they are with those!
That is the big deal. Android 2.2 will come maybe next month, but when HTC 'come' with their update, who knows...

The big difference here is the existence of the Nexus One, which will get an update pretty much straight away.
Since the Desire is very close hardware wise to the Nexus One, I'd hope that it wouldn't take too long to "Sensify" 2.2 and get an update out to Desire users. Failing that, if you're rooted, they'll be cooked 2.2 Nexus ROMs out for the Desire in fairly short order.

I was waiting, but ended up rooting tonight. I reckon SetCPU alone was worth rooting for.

Actually, SetCPU will have no effect when running on rooted Desires.
When I pull the sliders across, it seems to have no effect, and the green max and min frequencies remain unchanged. HTC has a driver that they implement which keeps overriding SetCPU. We need to hope they (HTC) release the Kernel source. Once this happens, there will surely be a release of a modified Kernel with SetCPU support and overclocking/undervolting (assuming the CPUs in the Desire are binned the same way as the CPUs in the Nexus, this should yield a 10% overclock and better battery life).
Problem is HTC is really slow in releasing the source, it's borderline, illegal, and very irritating.

I probably don't know what I'm talking about, but my sliders seem to work fine. The widget display claims my speeds are scaling too, and my battery life seems remarkably improved, though that could be due to running the MCR. I don't know.
[EDIT] I see what you mean about the sliders now. Battery life still seems better though?

See I thought this was the whole point of FroYo. We all get the basic Google Rom (maybe with a few service provider tweaks) then we download UI of our choice from the market.
Apart from service providers having to mess around with the Rom there's no reason why we should be waiting for months to get it. Most people in this thread seem to give the impression that we won't see 2.2 for ages while HTC upgrade Sense(I assume there's a few ex-hero users in here). This isn't true though, we'll be running 2.2 and waiting for a download of sense via the market. yeah?

the only problem with this is... nexus one is updated by GOOGLE and the desire is not.... the nexus one will be the first to get 2.2 and from there im betting other devices wont see it till acouple months later...i bet the droid will see it before the desire...sense ui jus slows down the update process..

Can I ask why you think this? I reckon we'll get 2.2 the same time as the Nexus . If everything I've read about 2.2 is correct then Sense will just be released to the market when it's updated for us to download.
am I really wrong or the only person in this thread who understands what's going on with 2.2?

i tried hacking up the cm9 ramdisk against changes that nik made to the inc s one to boot ics sense on that particular phone...but to no avail
frankly given the state of all ported ics sense roms on wvga phones, its not worth the time and effort really imo
the *only* ported one running on a .35 kernel that seems to be running well is the pyro series on the mt4g slide....but honestly its about as different a phone from ours as possible being htc (porting bullet was headache inducing)
unless one of our kernel guys really takes a run at making it work, i dont think ill personally put it any more effort just to get a semi functional rom going that can't be used on a regular basis
Sense 3.6 is really nothing special. They just made some slight improvements over 3.5 on ICS. Like fixing the browser text buttons at the top, simple things like that. Now Sense 4.0, that's where it's at. Played with it for a few minutes on my phone, and man is it nicer. Even just down to the skins, they theme way more of the system than ever before, even the keyboard finally. And the keyboard is a darker color now too, like the notification pulldown, plus the trace feature works 1000x better, and you can use it in any text field you want.

Then again, our MSM7x30 line is still considered main-line supported hardware, and it would be easier for them to just base it all of them on same Android version, since ICS is such a big difference from Gingerbread, and it ALL has to be re-written from the ground up.
Just gotta hope.
I'm really excited either way. Especially because the official updated drivers will make running ICS a possibility for me again.

I'd hope so too, but it seems as if the manufacturers aren't really interested in making wvga anymore, only qhd, and 720p now. Isn't the incredible s getting an official update first? I honestly don't think HTC is even going to have Sense 3.6 pushed to any device, it's just a little polish over 3.5, which is exactly the same as gingerbread Sense 3.5 and Sense 4.0 will be their main goal, because it's much more refined, and takes full advantage of what ics can do. In my opinion, It's the best version of sense to date.

[Q]Cyanogenmod for HTC One X?

Hi all.
Wondering if anyone is considering devving for CM on the HTC One X?
It looks as though the Asus Transformer Prime (Tegra 3) has nightlies http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=tf201&type=nightly
so there is some hope, in terms of CPU support.
I think HTC are a little less sluggish in releasing source too these days? Which bodes well.
Please use the poll to show support, would be interested to know how people feel about CM on the One X, personally I really hope it happens!
Well it looks as though people want a ROM, any devs care to volunteer?
I will be glad if that ROM will rise !
HOX without cm would be very disappointing....
Anyone have any news on the likelihood of a CM9 build for the HTC One X?
Think we just have to wait and see how popular the phone is first :-(
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
The phone will be popular, no question.
It's not a matter of if there is a CM9 build - just when.
M.
CM developers have one rule... one rule only... don't ask for ETA, you aren't asking that but they never seem to reply to us asking if a certain phone will be supported... Anyway seeing as the One X is a flagship device it will definitely be getting sometime... but for now i don't give a ****e about ROM's, i only care about the phone getting Revolutionary boot unlocker and root
I'd love CM on the phone. Came to it from an SGS II, and I really miss CM9.
I have test a long time CM7 on my SGS 2.
I was very surprise before that i don't know how look stock android.
CM is fast but have some problem with my carradio using my SGS 2 with USB.
Sense working good with it i hope a CM9 on Hox would not have the same problem.
Is anyone working on it?
Ive already started working on CM9 for the One S. However, HTC is slow with releasing the kernel source, making the job much much harder. If we are lucky, HTC will get around and help us out, if not, it might take a while before things are working.

Well, thank you very much. Now that I know I won't stuck with a stock rom, I might just take advantage of TMO's upgrade offer.
Again, we are dependant on the kernel source and even then the imageSense.chip drivers probably won't be released. There's some useful stuff on CodeAurora for it though so with time I'm sure we will figure it out

Why? We can flash both custom kernels and roms with s-on (as long as it's unlocked through htcdev, ofc), right? Then why would we need s-off? Sure, it would be really nice to have, but it's not needed to get CM on our device.
Correct me if Im wrong.

Kernel sources

So HTC didn't release kernel sources for this device yet right?... I'm planning to build kernels for this device as soon as they are available.
They are going to be blind builds until I manage to get money for the device.
I think they have up to 90 days to release the Kernel sources. Glad to have you aboard.
Finally someone to build a serious tegra3 kernel, welcome to the HTC side
I hope you can fix the idle battery consumption like you did with the Nexus.
Would also be cool if the One X didn't chew through my battery as it does currently, that's my only complaint so far
Just donated to get the party started, now lets push HTC for those sources
heard high praises for what you did to the nexus so i can't wait!
I'm running Franco's kernel on my galaxy nexus and also was running it on my galaxy note. He has the best kernels out there. Great balance of performance with very good battery life.

Well before we start cooking kernels' the first thingvto do eould be to get s-off on the device. Franco i know you would be thinking the same. Have you unlocked your device's bootloader yet. And if revolutionary or some other teams make s-off possible, would it be possible to indo the unlocking procedure we did via htcdev.com ?

i asume you mean undo, and the answer is yes and no, if revolutionary manages to crack the hboot and provide us with a solution to get a real unlocked bootloader with s-off then you can also reflash a locked bootloader and get s-on back
but htc keeps record of devices unlocked through htcdev.com, so even if send your device to service, they know that the phone was unlocked once. The better question is whether HTC will charge you for repair or not, i have not found a clear statement yet on how your warranty is void after unlocking the official way.
Some say it is void for software issues, but then i think, it's easy to say from HTC point of view to just use software as source for nearly every Hardware fault!
As long as i have no clear statement from HTC (which i'm gonna email them about, right now ) i will wait with the unlock. but not having root, coming from a nexus device kind of sucks
This could be usefull? http://developer.nvidia.com/linux-tegra
Now tegra 3 and 2 support Linux kernel 3.1
Don't forget to go nag HTC on Twitter and Facebook about the kernel sources. The more that nag, the more chance they will comply.

[Q] I'm surprised devs are still working on this device

I meandered on to the development section and was quite surprised to see such recent ROMS and developers working on a cell phone that is turning 3 years old in 5 months. Many EVO buyers have had their contracts expire and are able to upgrade to a new phone. There are much faster phones out there, with better specs that are possibly more interesting to develop for, because you might reach a larger user base. My question to the Devs is why are you sticking to the original EVO? Don't get me wrong, I am a current original EVO owner myself so by all means, keep up the good work, just curious as to why you stuck to such an old device.
Simple answer is its fun! Its a great way to get practice and many devs have friends in the forum. So why walk away completely? If you still have it, you can test away on things you try to build.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Please, be specific. The ROM is fully functional outside of the things that require new drivers for Android 4.x, i.e. front-facing camera, and WiMAX.

Yep and over on XDA-Developers, it's the most actively dev'd device still. It was the Evo of it's time

It's actually SDX Developers...and yes the Moment was the "Evo" of it's time, sadly however, it's time has passed. I'm a new convert over to XDA from SDX, having to give last rites to my Moment a month ago. Really only one active ROM still being worked on (UberMoment 1.6 - props to TheTehk17 for hanging in there :good: ). They never got a GB Rom fully functional (CM7 was close), all dev was, and still is, Froyo. Major hardware limitations and lack of support will probably keep any further ROM upgrades forthcoming.
Inherited an OG to use for now - great to see all the work being done! Waiting for the arrival of the S4 or M7 for upgrade, until then enjoying the plethora of ROM's available!
Upon upgrade, I will be passing the OG on to any dev here who will continue to put it to good use!

lol.. brain fart
Yeah, I never thought the Moment could successfully run Froyo, unless there was a hybrid Froyo/GB Rom. I dev'd a nice ROM for the Moment, but I think I took all the links down a few months ago.

The devs did a pretty good job porting over Froyo ROMs from the Intercept and Transform, and got those pretty functional. Otherwise, the phone would have been stuck on 2.1 Eclair! As mentioned, they have a somewhat working CM7 - buggy, but it does boot up.! The dev that ported that moved on leaving no one to work out the kinks.
So, for me, I'm like a kid in a candy store with not only GB Roms, but ICS, JB, AOSP.......and Sense too! Hell, I'm in hog heaven
lol. yeah, you can flash a different ROM every day for a year, going back to 2.1 if you wanted to

lol - I might have to hold out on that upgrade until I get this "flashing" urge under control..........
Will be interesting to see when the S4/M7 debuts, how long it takes to get dev going on each
i'm glad dev's have kept this phone up to date its alot of fun
