Final news from htc about ics update

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.

Y they r launching desire c which has got 512 mb ram with ics?
They r dumb people...just interested in launching new one....any way we have to thank them for desire c, for providing better chance for sense 4 porting

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.

[Q] App Compatibility

Ok, silly question...
Is it possible to decompile an app that requires android 3.1 or higher and change some code or something and make it compatible with lets say android 2.3.7 (cm7) ???

Odp: [Q] App Compatibility
Probably not. It's like you would have apex or nova launcher or cm 7 (;

Well, there might be a reason why an app is for android 4+ Only.
Like for instagram, they say that a better GPU etc is needed and phones that have ICS/JB by default are gonna be better phones .... another example of app is Temple Run, Subway Surfer, ASPHALT 7 HEAT etc.

Who need fancy animations anyway Ok Chrome is super cool looking... but devs should make app compatible with all versions especially if they make money from it or its social network like instagram... limited edition only for people with pricey phones, i cant think of nothing else f that s whatsoever...
Must start developing android soon, when i catch some more time

Its kinda annoying that not all apps are compatible. When i got this phone ( before testing it ) i was like wooohhoo Temple Run, Asphalt 7, fifa12 are gonna rock and then this..
And also no devs gives time to older phones ....

The Future for CM10

Since I can't post this in the CM10 thread itself, I'll ask here.
What's going to be of the CM10 for the One V? As I see Lloir has stopped all development for the One V. I'm just curious and it's one of my concerns, don't be asking me to do it myself etc.
Thanks.

Hope for the best mate.... Someone will be there....:fingers crossed:

Yeah I wonder too...
I hope its not the end of the v

It's because 4.2.2 doesn't really work for PrimoU yet. The devs are working on it.

There are so many features of the CM10 I'm unwilling to give up, the status bar brightness control, the sweep2on feature is definitely my favourite.

It doesn't work properly because they're still working on the kernel drivers. Therefore, it won't boot.

Really? I never thought of that, lol. Just a question, it's alright if you dont answer I understand: What ROMs use Maxwen's HELLBOY?

But Hellboy is only for GSM devices. If you have a PrimoC, go with one of Simon's kernels.

Are the differences between the X/XL/S/V quite considerable? I don't mean in terms of RAM, screen size, etc. but actual chips, models, etc.? I noticed that CM10.1 has official M-releases for the XL and S.
I wonder if they just limit the devices that are accepted into main, regardless of the quality of their branch, or if there are just a few things missing from Lloid's work that would let it get integrated into mainline.

Sadly, the One V is by far the weakest and most entry-level device of the One line.
HOV = 1ghz/1core
HOS = 1.5ghz/2core
HOX (global edition) = 1.5ghz/4core
HOX+ = 1.7ghz/4core

easiest way to get officially supported by CM is - someone from CM to own a One V

Sorry, like I said I didn't mean in terms of processor, etc. Unless you mean there differences between CPU architectures that make it hard to support CM10.1?

Getting zl today

I'm picking up a zl today to replace my broken one xl i was running a pac rom on it and was wondering if there are any good pa style roms good for daily use

Also do custom roms have the ir working? Like cm or pa roms?

You need to make sure that the bootloader is unlockable on the phone before you get it if you want to flash custom kernels and CM based roms.
Some models of the ZL are unlockable, some aren't.
Do your research before you buy, or you'll end up with a locked bootloader one like me

Thanks for the reply is it based on model number or does it depend on your carrier? I'm getting it from rogers in canada

Your bootloader will be locked. It depends on carrier.

Thought it might be rogers sucks. Is there any other way to unlock it like how the xperia arc could be unlocked using test points and a program

That's because your phone came already unlockable bootloader. You didnt change it from No to Yes. Some phones have it say No and it is still possible, it just give incorrect information. But most Rogers Sony phones you cannot unlock the bootloader.

Not much in way of custom ROMs go for something else with more development support. It's pretty dead here.

One mini has smaller screen than the one x. 4.3" 720p

I would still go for the One X. Mainly because of the better camera, processor and the screen size, boomsound isn't necessary for me right now

I would go for one mini, its a newer phone and just better user expirience using it, and if you are not happy, just sell it and buy one x again with some spare money left, no brainer for me.

Just from the POV of software updates, the One Mini is a much better choice. As we all know the HOX has been abandoned.

But only a small bit. In the future, a new version of android will come out, only for it to be impossible to port it to this phone because of its CPU and the lack of kernel sources because Nvidia ditched it.

It's correct, but in past there are much devices, wich are no longer supported so much after HTC kill official update way. And for Users who love the Sense UI (e. g. me) it is better to go to a new phone from HTC to get updates.
BTW: i think it is better to wait a little bit (a few months) with buying a new HTC Phone. If HTC launched new One M8 phone, the old M7 will be cheaper.
