EVO 4G ICS 4g/FFC - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDA goers,
I've been following the development of ICS roms for the EVO, but I've been hesitant to switch as I live in a well-covered 4G area. I understand that there aren't any similar drivers for WiMax/FFC for the EVO on ICS, but would it be possible to get the two working if you had the appropriate skill? I know HTC has their development section and whatnot, but I know little about the important workings of roms/kernels/drivers etc.
Thanks devs.
Edit: Please forgive me if this has been answered, I had difficulty finding the info.
TL;DR: Why is writing FFC/Wimax drivers so hard/what are the obstacles for ICS?

ICS is the new OS version for Android and HTC has NOT release their source code for devs to work from to implement 4G [Wimax] and FFC so right now devs are working off ports to bring ICS to our Evo 4G... I don't think is a matter of skills, I think is a matter of time.

Don't they have to release it sooner or later? Or else its a violation of the GPL license? Or am I thinking about kernels...?

What he said!

Never will happen for the evo

Why don't we just email bomb the **** out of them and clog up their FB page with these requests? Not to say it'll do anything but wth right? How many users does this forum have using an Evo?

Agree with the guy above, lets Spam their email and Fb with requests for the source code.

It's a waiting game be patient

I don't care if my evo is eol...... its still bad to the bone and even after being out for a few years it is still one of the better smart phones out. Hopefully HTC can share a little and keep some happy customers. Go evo!! !! I will keep rocking this phone till the wheels fall off!

please post this kind of thing in the Q&A section,
but yes. mostly all the roms that are "Sense" roms, will have working 4G. AOSP roms do not have 4G or HDMI yet. hope that helps
you should be able to tell fairly easily whether or not a certain rom has 4G
Try Fresh or Warm twopointwo.
search button ftw and wrong section !

Just read the very first post of any ROM thread. The author will (usually) say whether there is 4G or not. If they don't, that question will always be asked within the first few pages.
Please remove (original post I wrote was not very nice)
My bad, still new to forums....ill try searching and see what comes up.

Almost all the roms here right now (as of 2010-11-09) are based off the stock sense rom and feature 4g. The only ones that don't are CyanogenMod, MIUI, the recent EVO-DEV AOSP rom, and any others that are based of Cyanogen or the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). I don't think there are more than a couple besides the three I mentioned.
There are several that are AOSP-themed (without most HTC Sense features) but they are still based on the stock Sense rom and feature 4G.
Edit: I forgot about the Desire HD based ROMs, those won't have 4g either.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Fresh is a great, stable, everyday usage 4G rom
Sent from my HTC Evo 4G
Well the best way to search for tons would be to look at the EVO wiki. It has a list of all the roms and whether or not they are sense based. There are also a list of kernels and various other things. Well ay least that's what I did web I started looking for roms and kernels and whatnot. I'm just saying.

[Q] 2.3 Source Code

Here's to hoping that I dont get ripped on for posting LOL
I read about things that can and cant be done to the 2.3 ROMS because of there not being a source code. I dont know anything about that and I dont pretend to so I'm just wondering if what I'm reading here is what's needed to develop these further, such as kernels, etc??? http://source.android.com/
It says the 2.3 Source code is released but I have no clue what so ever if it's what's used or not.
Think of what's released by Google as an OS with no included drivers, but incompatible with all older drivers.
We need the source code for Samsung's build.

There's a diference between asking a question with an actual purpose, with an intent to learn, and with sources of your own finding...
And spamming the dev section with warrantless crap questions because you are too lazy to read through a simple instruction set..
He didn't get blasted, because his is the former... I wish you people would stop with this "we all need to get along together, don't feed teh trollz" non-sense and actually pay attention to the merit of posts here.

Can't see the pics or the link from the app lol
It's not the real ics launcher. It's by SyndicateApps. The same people who made the honeycomb launcher.
Its too laggy for me. I ran it all day yesterday and ended up sticking with the honeycomb launcher
Its boring IMO, I hope that this isn't really the ics launcher. which means I hope those leaked pics were fake lol
Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G Touch+Keyboard
Yeah, I mean the way it looks now it does, but with those leaked pics we dont know if there were customization features or stuff like that that weren't shown, which I hope is the case. It looks like they're keeping the sexy holographic style from honeycomb.
I added a video
Thanks to qbking for the video

Perhaps because it's giving a false look at Ics? Or maybe (I truly with every fiber of my being hope not) they were close to the actual look of launcher for Ics.
The first one would make more sense to me, you don't need consumers judging the next iteration of Android prior to release due to the actions of a third party developer. Banning them is an unfair way to go about it if that's the case. But it would make sense.

Does anybody remembered the tread we had for Whoever Brought a fully Working ICS rom to our e4gt Will Get a Donation Pool...I try looking for it but i wasnt able to find it maybe this way devs will work harder now that we got an Alpha Built Of CM9 Last i remember we were at 2gs

Not to be a downer, but, the chances of this turning out any different than 99% of every other bounty thread in the history of XDA are almost zero...
...but I'm an optimist.

agreed. these threads always turn out horrible. please let's not go through this again. if you want to donate money, donate to the devs working on it. like cm9.
lol, yes, because it was merely financial compensation that was keeping us from getting ICS.
OP:
Fyi:
Jerdog will shut this thread down the minute he realizes it's here, (and I don't blame him one bit.)

This thread is classic. I bet the first to "get a fully working ICS" is Samsung when they release the official OTA lol. Before that i dont really see it happening without a nice leak. I mean i bet the current ICS wont be running real smooth with good battery % and all aspects working correctly without having a device specific leak from sammy. Miracle happen on occasion, i call them Dev's some times. Oh ya, some one said Vagina, some one said penis. Yall forgot Booty

You didn't ask for anything lol you just want everyone to build a ROM and there's not even source to build a legitimate ROM based on jb. Ibtl

Simma down now, hotshot..
You're on a development community site.
Offer to assist, come up with a base, (like _dan, crawrj, mattix..etc), offer what should/shouldn't be included..
Instead of just saying "I'd love to see xyz"; come up with a plan, detailed, and contribute.
I agree with the others that your "I want" posts are inappropriately stated.

MoHo will you make ME a really cool ROM? Idk what I want just make a really good one for me, and if you can't do it alone get every other dev on xda to help you. Thanks man
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
So here's the thing. Every project has a certain number off developers that it can support and be able to move forward.
If every dev on here decided to make The One ROM, d probably never get off the ground, since there would be no agreement about what made a perfect ROM.
Instead, what we have is many devs working alone or in groups making their version of the perfect ROM.
However, none of these devs works on a vacuum. Almost everyone is using ideas, off not outright chunks of code from other devs, but reconciling it in novel ways.
The result its lots of choice for you to pick 'the perfect ROM for YOUR phone'.
