Dear Devs,
I love the work you guys do. You spend your own free time to make our phones better, and dont ask for much in return. So thanks for that. But i think we have too many sense 3.5 roms. we need some variety. So if you guys feel like working on some really good AOSP roms or something, im sure the dinc 2 community would eat them alive.
PS- im not trying to sound like im complaining too much or anything. I just wanted to voice my opinion on the matter. Im sure you devs love to hear some consumer feedback on your products.
Why don't you try making one? Not sarcastic, a serious suggestion. I'm only here for another month sadly.

Lol I am trying to get a rezound. Buy when I get back from deployment is when I get my upgrade.

Why a rezound? Its been out almost 5 months. You see the screenies for inc4g?
Rezound is s-off pending release.. I would get it too, but I can't upgrade till next year.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA
I'm going nexus! YAYAYAYAYAY! I love AOSP and the nexus is PERFECT for me. Rezound = the devil for me.
I just couldn't upgrade to a phone that's been out for almost half a year already. Are you getting the nexus galaxy?
I've got an alpha 3.6 Rom I could release this weekend, if anyone's interested in helping to fix bugs?
Works well, but there are issues to fix... Ie, phone reboots when the screen is off... I've been out of active development for a while, but I'm willing to toss something out there...

Ok, I'll upload a test Rom tomorrow and post it. Everything seems to work fine, just no backlights, camera and reboots on screen off. Other than that, its functional. Calls work (as long as you don't shut the screen off), sms/mms and WiFi... I'm setting up aroma installer for it now and working on the framework decompile to fix the backlights. The reboots I'm stumped on, though...

I'll hit you up when I have it uploaded. I'm uploading what I'm using now, so it won't be any official release till tomorrow afternoon (when I get off work). I'll list all the bugs and such in the OP when I get it up.
I haven't really had any motivation to keep active on here lately, just a lot of home to deal with and I don't like having to break out for months at a time leaving everyone hanging... Don't know how much I can put into this, but what the heck, I'll try anyway. The Inc2 will probably be official ICS 3.6 by the time all the bugs are worked out, though... lol.
Here's a little taste...
So is there an official date or an eta for ics yet. I haven't heard yet. Sorry if someone answered this already.

@knipp21- you lucky ducky, and thanks for serving our country. my dads in the military so i know what deployment does to a family.
@Linch89- The inc 4g is crap, barley an upgrade and the "metal" coating on the one x and one s is peeling off on phones. HTC is having to recall them and give the customers ones that are fixed. Thats why as of right now the rezound is a pretty good upgrade. PLus since its been out so long its got a pretty good dev community from what ive heard, never took a look for myself.
@macrodroid- haha i JUST saw that post for your rom. ill try it as soon as it at least goes beta since its still alpha.
Thanks for all the replies its a good disscussion

got to agree. does seem a bit quiet. i am keeping both (well, the inc goes to the daughter but i will keep tweaking it for her) so i want the devs to keep working on the inc.
It's probably temporary, the Inc community will last for a while.
Sent from my Incredible with the XDA Premium App.
Recently (as in a few days ago) coming from an Eris, which was 'end-of-life' in the middle of last year, and then received Gingerbread almost instantaneously after it was released to the public thanks to our fine devs here at XDA, I highly doubt the DInc will die out any time soon. This phone has way too much potential.
I expert it do die down in time, but the CM machine will keep chugging. Honestly, so long as Cyanogen has a DInc ROM, I'll be content. I use launcher pro, and prefer stock android over anything else, so not having new versions of sense isn't a big deal to me. Sometimes I like to jump on the MIUI train, but I always end up back with Cyanogen. They always support their phones so well, I imagine development for cm will continue long past the DInc's shelf-life.
I think even if it does dwindle, it will only be minor. As long as we have CM and a good maintaner we should always have something new and better to throw on our phones. The only thing is I've always wanted to see AOSP roms with tv-out but I see very little future in anyone dev that now that interest in it has died down.
I have been tryin z roms lately with very good success, and their cameras are the bomb. Aosp is nice an smooth, but i like the option to switch atound alot, plus cm camera just isnt that good. Im runnin miui gb now, with zero issues, kinda shox me for a first release just how good this rom is. I would love to see gb sense though just to have it.

The devs have shifted focus to the Thunderbolt to give it a jump start in the root and rom arena. After this happens I'm sure we'll seen new stuff for the DInc again. Shoot! Someone will probably port the TB ROM to DInc.

I just don't see the rom being much better granted the new Sense might be cool to look at.
DINC // CM7 RC2 // SLAYHER#9
I may be completely wrong in saying this but i think the tb is actually going to increase the amount of dev on the dinc. When you look at the evo and dinc there are roms that run on both. From what ive heard of the tb its basically a evo just a lil bit better. So as soon as a good way is made for easy transfer of rom from tb to dinc or to evo we will have more options on the dinc. Plus as soon as the problems are sorted out of how to get tb roms and code to run on the dinc we will be getting more updates to stock releases.

Good to know you have our back.
I had an Iphone 4, didn't like iOS so I decided to go check out the thunderbolt, I was less than impressed. No 4g around me, and I didn't want to pay $100 on top of giving my iphone 4 back. So I picked up an incredible, and couldn't be happier. Its such a solid phone. Perfect size.
I personally cannot wait until people start (hopefully) coming back to the Inc, it's been dead here lately, more than usual anyway.
Don't want to see the Inc die.

Makes sense, I watch the EVO forums still rock, Nexus One forums will always be rocking, and with the Inc being such a close relative, just surprised activity has fallen off a little.

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 only concern is battery life, its unfortunate ICS loves to eat our battery like the cookie monsta.
I know for a fact we can get it running, why?
Because of the determination our lasting devs have. I mean I never thought I'd see sense 4 on the DInc, even ICS.. working completely fine now.
It's amazing and we thank all who do this in the DInc projects.

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

If you're waiting for a total bug-free release then you'll be waiting until the end of time. They will release it when they are ready and, steady yourselves, it will probably have a few remaining, minor issues which they will attempt to fix with a patch.
Seriously it makes me chuckle to see people rubbing their palms together waiting for the perfect, bug-free release of any software.
Here's hoping it comes out soon - but based on the release date and usual one month delay we're still about 1-2 weeks away if they use FF18 as the OTA.

Once ICS source is released JB will be pretty easy to port to the et4g especially once JB source is out, they run pretty much the same kernel only major changes were to framework and resources and some lib and bin files, nothing to the extreme like going from GB to ICS
