HTC Wildfire S

They are releasing a new Willdfire S (which is quite a lot like the Legend) with Gingerbread!

Wildfire s
Anyone notice that the new wildfire s bears nearly identical specs to our precious aria? Hopefully this means we'll see yet one more unofficial sense based Rom but this time with gingerbread.

Yeah, lets hope it will be possible to port this ROM to our phones!

Let's just hope they share the same drivers. I can't wait untill the Wildfire S release. Did anyone else find the 2011 lineup from HTC very dissapointing?

I agree with the (slightly) disappointing line up. On the otherhand they are all nice devices and I would pick one anyday over a Samsung or LG. Some dual core android HTC shift-esque action with honeycomb would be definitely be welcome though.

Fcuk Wildfire Does HTC Salsa remind you something ?

Although that facebook buttons spoils everything for me
Still, it will be interesting to see if sense 2.0 will be possible to be ported and run on Legend with reasonable performance (Wildfire and Salsa have 512 of RAM - I think, this might make a difference).
ps. Sorry about the links - new user - no privileges to post links yet :/
cheers,
B.

Personally, I'm a little disappointed with HTC's offerings. And while I love my Aria, I think my next phone will be an Atrix. I love Cyanogen, so finegrs crossed it gets some love from the devs!

FACEBOOK button!?!?! When the hell did a freakin website get privileged enough to get a damn dedicated button on a cell phone??

judging by its similar specs to our legend, i'm very sure our talented chef will ported to our phones very soon. besides, gingerbread is already available to us through cyanogenmod7. fingers crossed and waiting for it. =)

But where can I find tools to port the Facebook button?...

...Really?? How is facebook as influential as Google? I know it's popular but it's nothing special by any means. Google at least makes Android, all Facebook does is constantly change their garbage website for the worse.
The fact that Facebook got so integrated with todays society somehow really only gives me more doubts for humanity.

Wait... I did't see any FB button on wildfire s. I sow it only on salsa and chacha...

It will be hard to port gingerbread from wildfire s to legend... because the wildfire s has a better and faster processor... a next-gen processor...

No it doesn't

It all depends. If it has at least arm v7 instructions, then yes. If not, then there's flash lite.

the question is:
WHY?

Why is this in the Galaxy Nexus section? Should be moved to the Nexus S general section. In any case, seems like a stride in the backward direction.

lol
why htc

I agree that this shouldn't be in galaxy nexus general. But if we got a GB sense port, we would all flash it by curiosity.

Unfortunately I believe he meant to post it here, in hopes of more excitement. Since the nexus s folks are probably well aware of this. I'm going to let this remain for now, since there is a chance that someone may share his sentiments (albeit very very slim chance).
I'm not sure however why you would want sense on a nexus.

Seeing Sense on my Galaxy Nexus would scar me for life. I have already seen too much of Sense...terrible things, things that cannot be unseen. I wake at night in fear that my Nexus wants to suggest matching contacts. Noooooo. I kid, I don't think Sense is that bad. It is what it is.

Newly Discover HTC One X bug!

Hey guys,
I've recently discovered a loop hole in the Sense 4 lockscreen on the One X. It would be greatly appreciated if you bring awareness to this issue. Unfortunately, since this is my first post, I am unable to include any links to the YouTube video I have made. Hopefully I can post it as a reply to this thread because its very interesting.
I think I'm the only one that knows about this. So please comment if you have this issue too.

I'm guessing you mean where you can get the ICS entry screen on the security lock?

No, but if your the guy that left a comment on the Engadget post about HTC and left a link to your video too than its your video I've seen.
I wouldn't call it a bug, as it doesn't affect the system in a negative way, in fact I think it looks better then the Sense overlay they added.

Haha small world! I have the Galaxy Nexus and it was my brothers One X. He always tells me to find a way to disable Sense or find a ROM that uses the Stock ICS. He believes that native ICS on the One X would be the best.
I'm loving my Galaxy Nexus, can't wait to get my hands on the Galaxy S 3 and so excited to see what the next Nexus would be like.
It kinda sucks that I can't post the YouTube link here though.

I was going to get the Nexus, but then the One X sorta got dragged into the equation and it was purely because of the displays that I went for the One X. I probably would have gone for the One S were it non-pentile. I don't care what you say, the One X is pure gorgeous compared to the S3

I'd do a search for you, but I'm using my phone at the moment not a computer and I'm extremely busy. If you browse the development section of the One X forums I know for a fact there is a One X Vanilla ROM. Don't bother searching, just go OneX>Development and browse around those top threads, plenty of other ROM's there too. It'll likely be on page 1 or 2.

Yeah I personally didn't like the design of the Galaxy S 3, the One X does look sexy but ever since my Sensation XE I've lost interest in HTC Sense. The Galaxy S 3 interface intrigues me although I hate Touchwiz. Well, I wouldn't mind giving it a try by the time the next Nexus comes out

I agree, Sense 3 was too heavy, Sense 3.5 was a fail and despite being created in tandem with Sense 4, Sense 3.6 really doesn't improve much.
Sense 4, different story. Still unstable, but give it a few months
Samsung's are only fast because they have **** software on then, that's an opinion not a fact. Touchwiz offers NO functionality more than the Stock Vanilla launcher, so why bother?
S3 + Vanilla hits the spot, but so does the One X

The one thing I long for on my phone is the time when the phone is locked. Old devices used to do it, like old Nokia's and the Lumia Symbian devices
For me, Sense improves the overall experience. I see Sense as an OS. Really it is Sense featuring Android, not Android featuring Sense, but that just shows how dedicated to improving and innovating software HTC are, now optimization is the key!
Phones need something like Windows Update, exploits and problems are found all the time, but fixes are never rolled out individually unless they are extremely crucial.

Thanks for pointing the space technique out bro, I was aware of it but could be bothered spacing it as jaaystott has already provided the link.lol
I've noticed a lot bugs mostly with the stock browser which I hardly use (mostly using Chrome), and I think HTC should invest a little more time on it as it's their flag-ship, but I'm also disappointed with how the One S beats the One X in all benchmarks. tsk tsk tsk....
Hopefully a well built ROM (Vanilla ICS) will come along and will get rid of all the heavy stuff in HTC Sense and will give a bit of an extra boost performance wise.

Incredible 2, HTC Rhyme, Droid 3, or Droid X2?

Hi,
I'm looking for a 3G only phone for Page Plus and it seems like the Incredible 2, HTC Rhyme, Droid 3, and Droid X2 are the best choices.
From what I've read, only the Incredible 2 and HTC Rhyme will be getting ICS. If that is true, I'll probably get one of those. Anyone know when this will happen and whether it is true?
Which phone is better?

It's been a long road so far for us to get any update to ICS, and there haven't been any signs that we'll be getting it soon. The Thunderbolt did get it, which leaves some hope for the Inc2, but it isn't for sure. I don't know about the Rhyme having ICS. As for the other Droids I don't have any experience with them.
All that being said the Inc2 has a really good community so you can be sure that ICS/JB development will continue until the official update, at which point there will be CM10 and MIUI and ROMs you've never heard of. It sounds like... a dream..

[IDEA / QUESTION] Sense Port?

Okay so I had a Dinc2 before this and my dad just got the DNA... I really miss Sense haha
To get to the point: I am nowhere near a developer but I think I could port Sense to the Gnex if I had some help. If anyone is interested in trying to do this let me know!
I will probably try to get Sense from either the DNA or the X, the X has the same screen resolution so it may be easier... either way lets see what happens! I've already tried twice and it failed. Like i said... I'm no dev
I have the vzw Gnex so i'd start with a toro build and go from there if we can get it working properly!

You have way more important things to worry about than screen resolution...

People with more experience have tried and failed. Don't waste your time, but try if you really dare. Like the other guy said, the screen resolution isn't the only problem. It's probably the least most important issue.

A sense port would be fun to play around with, but it was attempted about a year ago, and ended up being abandoned. There is do much that is closed source in sense that it would be an uphill battle to get it working. It would basically take an htc sense developer to make this work... So who knows someone on the htc dev team?
