News from HTC

Hello guys. Today I sent HTC a message and I asked will our device get offical Sense 3.5 update. I asked it because HTC Explorer has offical 3.5 support and it's specs are similar to our phone.
Here is what they wrote:
Dear Dario Radečić,
Thank you for contacting HTC.
With regards to your enquiry,
Unfortunately, Your device (Wildfire S) does not support official Sense 3.5.
Wildfire S with android 2.3.5 and sense 2.1 and cannot update more.
HTC Explorer could be upgrade to sense 3.5.
Thank you for your care.
If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again.
For further details, please go to http://www.htc.com/europe/support.aspx
Thank you for using HTC products.
Respect & Regards,
HTC Technical Support Team

Yeah, well, they don't know about the power of porting! They have no idea about the great devs we have! Together we are the ultimate devs! (aside from those stuck up trolls, and sometimes, noobs, no offense)

That is true, we got great devs. And if our devs are having problems with with porting ics to WFS, they should ask this user, bcos he can definitly help them. He ported ics to LG-GT540 which have 600 MHz CPU, Adreno200 and 160 mb of ram. HWA, wifi, gps, data, camera, audio, everything is working on his ROM. I know bcos that LG was my previous phone

Sense 3.5 is already ported on our phone.

Who cares if it is official or not ?
We already have it, why would you ask for something we already have ?

Well That's Life... But it's Kinda frustrating that we have this small yet powerful device they dont even want to update sense...

Yes.. they could port at least Sense 3.0 if not 3.5

Sad but not so sad. I'm already overjoyed with my current ROM from one of our great developers here.

Yeah, well HTC is stupid.

What ROM is it?

But hopefully we could get update to ANDROID 5.0 Jellybean... not asking for impossible but i wont lose hope...
I too enjoy a ROM create from here.. Better than the StOCK..

This isn't surprising. We all know that we can't rely on corporations to do anything just for customer satisfaction. If it's hard, it's expensive and thus not worth doing.

hahaha ya right...

just wait for htc to launch its official updates for explorer and leave the rest on our xda folks to make it unofficial and launch it for our very own wildfire s

We will have new phones and long forget the wildfire s by the time HTC makes an official update....IF they make an official update

Port Windows Phone OS to S3

I hope I don't get flamed but I just wanna know if this is possible. There is a windows phone with the same specs as the S3 not released yet (forgot the name of it). and i would also like to know why it cannot be done if so.

Anything is possible. Is it likely someone will go through the trouble of trying to do this when you can just buy a WP8 device? Probably not.
Also, just because 2 phones use the same SoC doesn't mean they can run the same software without issue.

Thanks you for the response, definitely answered my question

One problem is that WP8 is not on open source like Android. Your phone needs a license to use it.

uninstall system apps

Hi Everybody,
I just bought an used HTC One X 32Go to replace my old good HTC Desire.
This Phone is unsimlocked but it come from the french provider SFR.
My provider is FreeMobile.
As soon as as I got this phone I wanted to uninstall all sucking and useless apps : SFR apps, Facebook ... etc
So I unlocked the bootloader, root my HOX and install TWRP with the All-In-One Toolkit V2.5. But unfortunatly, despite this, all these apps are only de-activable but not un-installable :crying:
OK, I will do with it...
But now I have a fundamental question : given all this points, will I have the OTA update Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5 when it will show up ?
Your opinion ?
Thanks
Cheers from France

To uninstall system apps you need something like titanium backup and before that you have to root with an zip package your Rom...
And if you want to get then the oat you just need to have stock recovery and stock boot.img and maybe also relocked boot loader bit its working also with unlocked sometimes...

You saw the android development forum for hox right? If yes there are some tutorials...and there you can find those files...please use search...if you use search you can learn yourself better what to do etc...because if everyone always is helping then the most noobs won't learn anymore for that...

Dear Agil1ty and One-X-master
I'm on XDA forum since 18 month. I'm reading and learning a lot of things from the seniors members and developers.
But when, for the first time I ask something the "search answer" is a bit rude !
Two points,
1/ XDA forums is a huge source of information, but sometimes maybe too huge. Even when using the search function it's difficult to find what you're looking for
2/I'm feeling like a stranger in a foreign country asking for a street, and he gets as an answer "search on a map !"
I understand your point of view but please be tolerant and understand my position
Thanks

gr2p is right . arrogance isn't needed. And i think xda wasn't ment for it either.
I think alot of people get lost on xda even with the search as it may refer to more then one device...
We are here to help each other.And thats what we should do.nothing else.
i know some wont agree with me , thats fine with me.but hey every has the right sharing his opinions and toughts right?

And saying about other ppl they are arrogant or so is also not so fine....I just said he should try to search because in the forums for box there are the needed threads always at top so it is easy to find...so a bit of searching wouldn't be hard or? The most ppl are getting lazy and lazy and instead of a lil Bit searching they just ask but ok if you think I'm arrogant and I our think it was rude okay then I don't help you anymore

Hello Devs, after Nvidia released Tegra 3 drivers for windows 8, does that gives possibility for a windows 8 port to be released?
Please inform me if that is illegal so I don't start working on this project.

I dont think that its impossible, maybe very very difficult, but not impossible.

And to be clear, my previous answer was not to discourage you in any way ! It was more out of a joking point of view, please port whatever you wish

I don't think Windows RT has been ported to any unofficial device yet. I'm not sure if it's possible since the OS itself is closed source., and drivers can only help so much. It would be interesting to see someone try, though.

Both are great
One X has a better OEM software, look (more elegant ) and build quality
S3 has a better battery life with better ROM support
I used to own both , but HTC devices seems to have a great build quality which is an important point for me

If would suggest to you that you wait for htc to see if they release the sources. Then our hox will have the same rom support... The big boys at least otherwise the white color is really white on our hox and not blueish like on the s3. The battery is somehow the same but the build quality and feel thats on a other planet. Plus everyone has the s3.....
