we knew that already

We all knew.
I knew those idiots wont give us ICS.
They gave us FOTA and said, "Sorry, you wont get ICS."
Oh yes we will, Eoghan ftw

I am going to SE Neo V man ! This situation sucks !! Small screen with unstable Roms and other stable roms have worse UI's ... I am selling my WFS for 190 $ ...

Well its up to us then, ain't it?

new phone...

hi there
i'm a happy owner of a HTC Desire, but i'm looking for a new phone...
after some research i focused on two device:
HTC Sensation (300€ used)
PRO:
-CPU underclocked
-Look (IMHO)
HTC EVO 3D (300€ new)
PRO:
-3D (which means better screen)
-RAM
both will remain stock for about 5 minutes..
which would you reccommend?
thanks in advance
I would only replace my desire with HTC one. Maybe also desire s.
HTC one x. quadcore phone check on HTC site
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
HTC one x is around 700€...is more than double the devices i mentioned!
From those two, id get the Evo 3D just because i find the 3D pretty cool (yet a little bit gimmicky.)
Also its going for just over £200 here which is about 230 euros i think so maybe look around and see if you get it cheaper. Ebay?
the cheapest evo in ebay is around 400€ in italy!
this (www elettrotop com/ElettroTop/SchedaArticolo.action?articolo=0128441) is the best price i've found...
just a question...
the sensation cpu is 1.5ghz underclocked to 1.2ghz...what about the evo's one?

Are you talking about Sensation XL or what? Where did you get that information about underclocking?

If I were you, I will check the XDA or other forums for your future phone. Without checking, I think Sensation would have more roms to play with. 3D phones aren't that many, only 2.

i've read somewhere that the only difference from sensation and sensation xe/xl (same hardware) is the clock of the cpu..1.5ghz for the xe/xl and 1.2ghz for the basic one...

yes..this is a point for the sensation..however i don`t like ports...maybe with the ics rollout the modding scenario will grow!!

Ye, but those are single core cpu, at least in the XL case. Sensation has dual core processor at 1.2ghz.
Basically you could consider XL as overclocked DHD.

At this point Sensation is just shy of one year old. Modding community can go only towards being worse.

Some of the desire devs, like robocik or baadnws, moved to the sensation after getting the phone. So I'm sure they'll maintain it for some time, but as quoted, it is already going to be 1 year soon. Same with EVO 3d. But for EVO 3d, if there are only 2 roms, there probably won't be more.
I'm thinking since ice scream sandwich is an overhaul of android that the HTC one, galaxy nexus, gs3 would be a good choice.
If ur only choice are those two tho, make sure there is a Rom you like for that phone. Specs and screen are nice, but you'll be dealing with the interface a lot too.

Robocik and baadnwz jumped over to the dual core scene as soon as they went retail. I'm inclined to believe that it will be the same with quads.

well...i've bought the HTC Evo 3D....
I've found a ROM that fit my needs...and maybe the lack of ROM for the GSM version will force me to try to make one for myself!

[Q] HTC One V for development, suggestions..?

Hi all,
I need to know about HTC One V capability for development use, I have low budget but wanted an Android phone which will let me develop applications including games as well, currently using HTC Explorer, which is not good for development, especially w.r.t resolution.
Please guide, thanks

Can you share some pros and cons related to development on HTC One V? or what do you say If I buy used HTC Sensation XE instead of HTC One V...
People say in reviews that it is laggy while internet browsing... any other problem does it have?

Usable memory for one v is also 1gb.. if u are look for a phone for dev purpose get nexus s

BootManager

Anyone tried (with success) to dual or triple boot ROMs on the captivate glide?
What's that? We will be able to change boot animation on INC3PTiON v2 or whatever it's going to be called

Its supposed to allow you to keep several ROMs installed at once without wiping each time you switch to a different one. Kind of like dual booting Windows and Linux on your computer. Never tried it myself but it sounds nice for testing different ROMs without wiping/flashing. Unfortunately, the market description itself says specifically that BM doesn't work with any Samsung devices not listed, and ours is not.

My old sony ericsson xperia x10 had bootmanager... Being able to have two roms installed wasnt that much useful unless you were a developer who needs to have a stable rom and a rom in test, although having 3 different recoveries was somewhat more useful

HTC Sense 5.0 Confirmed for One X, One S & More☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

HTC Sense 5.0 Confirmed for One X, One S & More☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
i found this
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/02/26/htc-sense-5-0-confirmed-for-one-x-one-s-more/
what do u guys think about it?
and do u guys like the look of sense 5
I'll have to see that, cause we all know from past announcements/confirmations that they not all have seen the light. Just wait and see (till it arrives), no speculations and I don't believe in confirmations.
I like the look of Sense 5, but I prefer it on a HTC One, instead of my One X. I'm not entirely blown away by BlinkFeed, for me the clock and calendar are the most important info to be seen, news and social feeds come after that.

I don't know why they released their flagship for this year with 4.1.not 4.2?
So we hox owners will have to wait for sense 5.0 release after the release of HTC One then wait for the new Android version after they update it also..... Please god give us patience

Well Android 4.2 has more tablet features than phone features. Its not a major update so shouldn't be a big deal.

Well technically yes, but I think it'll be very hard because the resolution of the screens are very different. Porting from Full HD to HD takes lots of work you know

so many devs got so many roms ported like on other htc's ....it's difficult but they could do that...it would take really a lot of time but HTC WILL updating ...they said it and why the hell could the hox doesn't get it? it's hardware is enough for android 4.2 with sense 5 or even higher version...till android 5 oder even 6....and if porting or cm we would also get android 7

I can foresee HTC releasing a dubbed down Sense 4.5. In my opinion it would not be in their best interest to release full Sense 5 for older generation phones when it's the major unique selling point for the newly released One handset.
If this were the case I would imagine some of the awesome developers within the rom community will port a full version after some time

One X to receive 4.3 according to this, think the pic could be fake.

Well, i would expect you are thinking the same as me. 4.3 i would expect is very much possible for the One X. But this picture says Desire HD will get it. There is no way on earth a phone that old will get the update from HTC. But the guy who posted it is followed by HTC, im not sure what their follow policy is.

By Q4, Desire HD owners will bash HTC for how they "promised" to update their device and failed... "I will never buy a HTC again."
The endavoru is missing in that list...... Htc one x evita and htc one xl but both the same
The HTC Hero is on that list. Dubious. I know it's not getting an update, but why would it even be there?
Htc one x becomes the update. Htc x+, htc one, htc one vx, jewel. Thats the list from htc.

Some tech sites even write the 4.2.2 update would be the lastone for One X, so I highly doubt if this is a genuine schedule.

NEVER 4.2.2 would be NEVER the official last update :laugh: ...we will get 4.3 official and MAYBE also android 5...because our phone has enough power for that ....but RAM ok ...i think there would be an option to get more ram via virtual space etc..
HTC One X has enough RAM to run windows, it just requires HTC to preform some optimization on how sense consumes ram
Lol htc desire has enough power to manage 4.1 and dont receive it

Anyone noticed that the leaked 4.3 rom list has the HTC one X but (evita) next to it, which is the Qualcomm based AT&T one, not the T3 based International one.
