Honestly I think HTC is shorting us by not giving us 3.0 so the only reason I'm going to get this is we can port 3.0 to it. So what are the odds? How hard is going to be?
I guess they want more development time to set up Sense on Honeycomb and possibly to push it out sooner so people get this rather than Xoom...

The first day we have a compatible kitchen, I'll have the port out. Can make that in 10 minutes.
I.e if they haven't switched from RUU to something new...

Good sir you are why im buying this device. Thank you very much
Does the digitizer make porting Honeycomb more difficult (i.e., because it's not designed for styluses)? I'm on the fence about the Flyer, but developer support would be a huge plus.
+1 for honeycomb development.

I feel the same way although I'm 99% sure ill get it anyway. I don't see the point in 10" tablets. If I was going to carry a bulky device, I'd sooner take my laptop as its far more useful and weighs abt the same as the 10" tablets.
Have used the Galaxy Tab for a few months now and its the form factor which makes is useful to me - will fit in your pocket if you really need a free hand.
My only other concern is performance. With the majority of honeycomb tablets sporting the Tegra 2 chipset, does this mean apps will be designed with those specs in mind? Anyone know how the flyers Qualcom CPU?
Why want to port a buggy honeycomb if around 3 months later (Juni or July) there will be a official 3.0

No offense intended, but your question comes across ass a little troll-ish. Assuming you genuinely want an answer though:
1) Because apps for 3.0 are designed for tablet form-factor. If you have used any of the 2.x (or even earlier) tablets, you will know that many apps look horrible because they are either scaled up to full screen, or only appear as a 'small box' in the middle of the screen.
2) I love XDA - the Devs here are top-notch and I never have issues running early versions of the ROMs that are cooked up by XDA devs. The releases here are always way ahead of the manufacturer releases and that's kind of the whole point of the site. It lets DEVs get familiar with new platforms so that when oficial releases come out, they can be quickly ported to the 'official' build when HTC get around to releasing it.
3) Never hold your breath waiting for manufacturers to release updates. HTC are relatively quick to release updates compared to most manufacturers, but waiting for official updates can lead to pain and disappointment.
I was wondering this as well, but more in a general sense. I got an ipad from my work for winning a contest, I played with it, and I can't stand apple crap. So I'm going to sell it, looks like I can get about $450 for it on ebay. So I wanted to take that money and get a android tablet, and I was thinking I would wait for the honeycomb tabs to come out and come down in price a little. But then I thought why do that?? Especially since i'm running gingerbread on my Evo and it runs freaking awesome!
So any worries hardware or other with buying a froyo tab and rooting it and getting a honeycomb rom later? Any min specs one should look for etc..? I know it's slightly off topic sorry, but not really sure where I should post this
Thanks!!!
Do a little research next time, it WILL be released with Honeycomb. I can't post the link cause I don't have more then 8 posts, but if you google it, HTC tweeted that it will be released with 3.0.

Before u spend ur money. You should know that the has no RUU released. And any system posted of the xoom that's not the WiFi version moto keeps having the links removed. And to top it all off the system dump can not be deodexed. I have even tried myself. The only version of 3.0 that can be ported is SDK and nothing works on it... T-Mobile will be releasing an honeycomb tab but know Google it will be locked too... And its not HTC's falt honeycomb will never meet sense. Google will not allow any overlays of any kind of honeycomb. That means no blur or sense...

I don't get it. Why does HTC make gingerbread available for some phones so quick and others (THUNDERBOLT) have to wait so dang long to get the official release? Are each of their phones that different and that complex that making a stable and bugfree version takes that much effort? It hurts to know HTC, Google, and Verizon can't get their act together faster. I still love all three companies though...yes i actually love google and verizon.
Anybody else have a rant to want to put down concerning the thunderbolt or gingerbread?

Yes...Thunderbolt in particular seems to be a beast of a different color.
Although, I'm positive that isn't the entire reason they roll out slowly. OTAs that roll out must be majorly checked from every angle since one minor problem could force them to replace thousands of devices for free (since they are forced) not to mention the damage to their reputation, support, etc. Add on the stipulations carriers have and their customizations and time really adds up.
Well usually verizon takes forever to approved builds to.make sire they don't have bugs, EVO got a high update and they have to release another shortly after and the cost money, the dinc 2 got theirs cause it got an European brother and it had more time to be refine , and the thunderbolt who knows I just one sense 2.1 and no buggy update, as long as we get ice cream update in timely manner I'm good or if we get a nexus phone with LTE I'm swicthcing for sure

Google really has nothing to do with this. They have already put out 2.3. It's now up to HTC to Sense it up and get the build to Verizon, and then up to Verizon to bloat the crap out of it, and then check for bugs.

Can't compare wimax to lte. Wimax is basically just wifi on steroids and uses the same implimentation as normal wifi with a few modifications. LTE however is a whole new protocol that's totally different than anything previously on a verizon phone.

Yeah I'm getting pissed that they haven't released 2.3 for the tbolt yet. Also, apparently HTC isn't going to release the new Sense (3.0?) for any of their phones that are already out! wtf?! So i'm considering rooting my phone. ive heard you can get gingerbread and the new sense by doing so, however ive never rooted before. Any chance someone could clue me in if there are solid working versions of 2.3 and the new sense out there? is the rooting worth the risk? should i just wait untill the tbolt officially gets 2.3 to root for the new sense? any insight would be great!

The locked bootloader is the reason for this. That is also why you are seeing the developer migration from HTC to Samsung.
Look at the OG Droid. That thing had tons of dev support. I, for one would love to see Papa Google take webtop and use it as a launchpad for Chrome OS. That would be awesome.

Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
here you go!!
This is what i got when i translated.. with googles help
Many of us regret installing Honeycomb on the HTC Flyer . Gingerbread for a return on it will send its tablet for service or simply flash the UCP method (not verified) that we can show you on request.
Honeycomb has taken a while but for Ice Cream Sandwich the story will be different since the update is scheduled for the first quarter, in a little over 2 months the very most!
Thank you to bandjamesband for the info!
We remind you that Google had not delivered the source code and therefore Honeycomb HTC 's had to do with using the SDK. So Sense is much less well integrated in Android 3.2. With the arrival of Android 4.0 on our shelves is expected obviously a major concern of this correction
Well yes according to that it looks likely.
The conversation with HTC which is mostly missing appears to have been about what options a user had to get off honeycomb.
The response from HTC was to send it to after sales service for a downgrade to gingerbread or to wait for the ICS update
The follow up question was, when is the ICS update planned for?
The response: Planned for the first quarter of this year.
I didn't translate the article, just the "chat with us conversation" from where the information about the update comes. And yes I am 100% certain of the accuracy of meaning in my translation.

I am full of doubt, especially considering how long honeycombe took and the fact that the flyer is pretty much discontinued
I agree. Hate to be pessimist, but I think the road ends with Honeycomb and all its shortcomings.
Sent from my HTC Flyer; resisting Honeycomb due to allergy
My question is will Honeycomb actually be supported a little further down the road or will it just be forgotten. It seems like it was just a bridge to hold over tablet owners until the real OS hit, ICS. So what will developers do and will they continue to make everything Honeycomb compatible.
I almost feel like Google should request all Honeycomb tablets be upgraded to ICS and they should take the hit on any costs to do since they are responsible for putting together a half assed OS until ICS rolled out...
Microsoft did that with Win/ME and Vista
what i dont like with HC is the bar at the bottum... takes up to much screen.
this baby only got 7 inch, and by haveing a permanent bar there, makes the screen even smaller. dont like it..
the flyer/view got some HW-buttons, so the bar isent that useful...
but otherwise i prefere HC
Everyone needs to get a grip.
HC will go the way of Froyo and GB. They will be forgotten and the next big thing ICS and then Jelly Bean will replace them and on and on. Hardware will always be outdated in 6 to 9 months and new stuff will replace it. As for Google dictating that HW vendors and sellers update to the latest OS, they tried that in the annual meeting Oct. 2011 and got the big one fingered salute from all the manufacturer and cell carriers. Google is in no position to dictate things. They attempted to get everyone to agree to updating all devices to the new OS within 4 months and no one agreed. So it's all best effort meaning sellers can do it if they want to.
You have to remember that HW sellers don't make money from fixing all your problems and updating software. They make money from selling new hardware. So they will choose to do the bare minimum level of support. Now that may not be what you think is right or how it "should be", but that is reality and not accepting that will just make you more unhappy. Where you going to go? Apple? MIcrosoft? maybe.... Microsoft started out having a central update site for all Windows phone, but they have abandoned that concept due to cell carrier pressure. So now they are in the same boat as Google with users beholding to cell providers for their updates.
Google does not make a dime from direct Android sales. They are an advertising company.
Here is the English version of the article...

Not flaming. In fact, nowhere in the rules does it say you have to give reliable/confirmed info. But as my rule of thumb, this is the case.

Yes GSMarena is pretty reliable. A lot of sites are reporting this (PC World and DigiTimes) are two.
It seems that JellyBean will be a tablet update from HoneyComb
here's a quote
"Android 5.0 Jelly Bean will come in two flavors: Google and Microsoft. The article said that brand vendors "can either choose to adopt only Android 5.0 or add Android 5.0 to Windows 8 devices with the ability to switch between the two OSes without the need to shut down the computer."
One the most exciting aspects of Windows 8 is its flexibility--that you can jump from tablet to smartphone to game console and back. Adding Google products to the mix makes Microsoft's upcoming revamp of Windows even more insanely thrilling, and may be the very bullet to shatter my iPhone once and for all."
Maybe google got tired of all the Apple lawsuits and decided to drop the big hammer.

Yep, Google's gonna bash their only just-rolling out OS with a new one in a couple of months. Sure.
OP, I know you were trying to share some news but just please use reliable sources (GSMArena is a site I've never heard of).
Not flaming. In fact, nowhere in the rules does it say you have to give reliable/confirmed info. But as my rule of thumb, this is the case.

this is reliable source only... what i was wondering is tat can 1.5 ghz cpu can hold it smoothly... i am sure 1 gb ram is enough but problem is cpu....and i am sure HTC will not give anything to us now.... so its upto our forum developers only to do some good for us.... and most of details will come during may-june when google will release it... cheers

Just because a story gets copy/pasted on various websites, doesn't make the original source any more valid.
Just like the iPhone 5 rumors that got copy/pasted on pretty much every single tech website on the internet, and guess what? 100% of them were wrong.
Heck, sites like Engadget had iPhone 5 rumors

Granted, but do we know for sure that there wasn't an iPhone 5 on the cards, & they changed to 4S because they lost Jobs, & weren't fully prepared? No.
No-one is saying this is fact. We're just sharing info here. Take it with a pinch of salt.

Is all ICE and JB deployment stopped for the Flyer?
None of the roms works correctly and none is updated recently!
Whats up with that? Should i just make my flyer stock and sell it or is there still hope for it?
depends on what you're looking for out of the flyer. I personally jumped ship for the nexus 7 and couldn't be happier, although I do miss pen input a lot. everyone has just had classes start so if they are in high school or college that can also cause a slow down. the flyer isn't dead yet!

I really hope so. And no i do not use the pen at all.
The only reason i bought the Flyer wash because it was cheap. 1000Kr ($175) about 1½ year ago. Today it's installed in to my car dashbord.
I would love nothing more than to buy the Nexus series. For the sole reason of quick updates. But only Nexus and Nexus S phones is sold in Denmark.
Honestly Ira the same reason i bought it, i live in Sweden though.

Looks dead to me
Flyer
yea does not look promising anymore ; Dexter away on other devices and out of options, Chaos never really return after vacations - asked for remote acces PC wich he never decide to use after set up,... so more or less game ower as far as software goes. Try to find optimum out of what we have; i use GB and works awsome for me.
As for Lee - will see -maybee but prolly not.
Stock gingerbread is the way to go no doubt.

Okay, I'm considering "downgrading" to this.
Do you think it's a lot faster?
What rom is recomended?
Can you get rid of the horrible default set shortcuts in the bottom of the homescreen?

If Dexter isn't working actively anymore on the device, than sadly agree that development is pretty much dead. Hate to say such things, since if any devs are working on this device, its probably a bit of a discouragement for them to see threads talking about development being dead. But its really not looking good. Its sad to go into Development day after day, week after week, and see nothing updated or new.
Such a beautiful piece of hardware that too at dirt cheap rates and alas! no further development on this.
Long back I had an optimus one (600 mh) and sold it about a year back. It's such a small piece of hardware compared to our heavenly HTC flyer, but development on this phone is going on amazing well. It's having unofficial cm 10 as well.
Chaosz was going so well.
I wish and hope as this device will further be sold at even more reduced prices, even used ones, some interested developers might still pick up this device and.contine the development.
But for the time being it seems certainly dead.
There is still hope that Chaos and Dexter will collaborate and maybe combine the best of their ROMs, so that we could get a better JB for the Flyer, they only need some free time. So, until they are gone from this section - the development is not dead yet.

Your experiance dealing with Flyer will be lot faster. With proper luncher ull have same feeling like on ICS/JB (holo launcher - highlly recomended).
As for rom prolly best would be FlyHIGH.

Its probably the one of fastest out there for our device. I recommend stock htc with sense. You can change those shortcuts to what you prefer. I say give it a chance for a day.
You know, these devs create ROMs for free.
Dexter is still working on JellyBean and has a version 1.7 out that's really good and works as a daily driver. Perhaps we should organise some money to say thank you?
I know a bunch got burnt donating to DG for nothing to appear, but if a rom has already been released, can't hurt to contribute to the developer to keep going.
thanks to Dexter

i wholeheartedly agree. Dexter continues to look out for us despite having a GNote2. And really because of him the flyer isnt dead yet. and for the longest time he was doing it without a donate button. i noticed that just recently he had a donate button. i suggest that those who appreciate his efforts throw some beer money his way [or whatever his choice of libation may be:laugh:]
Dexter working very hard now. I'm believe that he make perfect ROM for us.
I wanna donate to him, but i haven't money for it now. :C
