Final news from htc about ics update - HTC Wildfire S

OFFICIAL NEWS...SORRY GUYS
What devices will not get Android 4.0?
We work hard to ensure each of our products has the optimal user experience and therefore some products will remain at their current version of Android. In general, devices with 512MB ROM or less will not be upgraded to Android 4.0. These devices include the HTC ChaCha, HTC Salsa, HTC Wildfire S, HTC Explorer, and others.

Thank the devs for CM9

I think it's been pretty clear from the beginning that the WFS is not a candidate for HTC ICS. Therefore:

HTC=N00b

[email protected] works even smoother and faster than all stock ROMs (and I could be wrong, but feels like even faster than CM7 )

Everyone Already Knew. No regrets.
The devs rock. Period.

Because ROM and RAM are not the same thing. 512MB RAM is fine, but 512MB of ROM (Stupid naming, as it isn't really read-only) is a problem when you toss in sense on top of base android. It would leave you practically no space for apps (which is already an issue on GB) or anything without link2SD or similar, which HTC isn't going to be doing as stock. For example, my incredible S (which is getting ICS) has a full 1.1GB of ROM, so they have loads of space to play with.
There's people in the dev section working to port the golf (aka desire c) ICS rom to the wildfire S. They're only able to get it to fit via extra optimizations (deodexing, pngcrush, stripping optional stuff, etc.)that HTC wouldn't be interested in using.

Yes, no offical ICS for us, but htc says that we will get more software updates

Gingerbread went up to 2.3.7.
But the fixes in those aren't real relevant to the WFS. 2.3.6 fixed a voice search bug and 2.3.7 added wallet support to the nexus S.

Indeed, the Oxygen version of GingerBread for Desire works great!
The thread for the Oxygen Gingerbread is HUGE! Too long to read the whole thing. Are there any known issues with it--does everything (wifi, video recording) work now?

Hardly, tried it and there really is no noticeable difference, well not that you would notice for day to day use.
Have to argue, have you tried aosp based Roms like oxygen? brilliant compared to sense, and if you don't like the look? Theme it, use launcher pro and do whatever else you wanna do
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Edit: each man to his own of course, but I love the speed over the slight extra functionality of sense
But is there going to be a real version of Gingerbread for the HTC Desire?
I'm assuming they'll stop eventually.

Almost everything works, just a few minor bugs, the most oustanding (imho) being network location based applications and gps navigators not working.

mainly because im using the x-part version of MIUI which gives me tons of internal space! and i havent found any other rom which has that...
Oxygen used to have it but now its only made for custom Hboots in order to increase internal space...not link the Desires internal space with an Ext4 partition in order to increase it..

so agree with you, we have port from the desire s, but completely non stable, beta and not suitable for everyday use.
Every month we have less developers for Desire, look for exemple: Neo, Baadnewz are gone
But
still we have Coolexe, michaelm_007 and tamirda, and This IS OUR "HOPE"
Thank YOU ALL

Android 5.0 Jelly Bean

Looks like 5.0 Jelly Bean will be coming soon but will out phones even run 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich ? Who knows.
Of course 5.0 is aimed at larger devices but it will probably be ported to any device the developers see fit to port to.

Lets make it Android 4 Sense this time and then Android 5 AOSP.
We can also send a petition to Qualcom to make and release a code to make the Desire processor dual core.
ICS is running fairly decently on Desire and Nexus One I'd say - still bugs but there's massive progress
we all cant wait until ICS is 100% working will be the day we all fall in love with our Desire again
I am amazed how smooth the ICS ASOP Rom is. But I'm back to Gingerbread and I don't think I'll update to 5.0 any time. I bought the Desire nearly two years ago right at the beginning and the development during this time was great.
IMHO it isn't necessary to update a two year old device to the newest os version.
I want ICS to work on the Desire. HTC still love it. They're just too lazy to get working software on older hardware.
Why not, why not. One reason more to work on 3.x kernel.

You can never find a perfect ICS ROM. Just have to try them all, and find the one that suits your daily needs.

Do you have an inspire? If so, then with some roms you may need to flash the inspiremod, sound fix, etc - there are many versions.
If you have a dhd, none that I know of.
No need to flash kernels unless you want to experiment a bit.

since this the most popular ICS rom for DHD at the moment .
but i have a few problem with navigation Apps (papago - sygic)
any one have this problem too ?
I think xgs from krisjanne is one of the best ics roms. A lot of options and very smooth. Lords Ics is also very good.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
You have to take a few ICS roms out for a test drive. Remember that what is the best rom for one user may completely be hated by another. It all depend on your liking and what your looking to get out of it. All ICS roms have their minor issues if you mind dealing with them. As I may not mind a minor bug another user may consider it a total headache. No one here can tell you who is the best rom to use in the end it all comes down to you and what you think of them. Source codes are not released as of yet so ICS roms have minor bugs while Gingerbread roms are solid.
Read, read and read some more and enjoy the learning. We all been there and are still there.
Using aospX-1.0.0-BR4-DHD and it is working like a charm.
Thanks

If you read the thread you will see that this rom has the same problems as all the rest. Mainly handling video recording and playback. The kernel is still 2.6 and the rom base is definately based on evervolv sources. So, no there's nothing new in this rom.
