Will we see an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for this phone? With all the magical and sexy hardware optimizations and GPU acceleration? I'm really hyped for the Prime, especially since the iPhone 4S was such a disappointment, but there's one thing I can't leave, and that's HTC Sense. On top of that, Google seems to suddenly like waiting a year and a day to release the source code for Android, so the Cyanogenmod team might not be working on it if there's not source I dammit I want ICS
well google claim they didnt release the source code for honeycomb cause its only for tablets and supposedly ICS source code will be out, time will tell
I don't think we would be recieving a ice cream sandwhich rom , by the time that's released they'll make the Nexus 9 & the Amaze 9 haha , i don't think we'd get it the close of ICS we'd get is a blue framework & launcher .

Google actually claimed Honeycomb's source code "wasn't ready" which was kinda evident in Honeycomb itself. Then they told us Honeycomb sources will come after ICS release. If that's true, then ICS sources won't come until Jellybean, and by then we'll be hyped over Jellybean and still be outdated after upgrading to ICS
#NeverAgain - I'll wait until the Nexus Double Prime, by Googlrola.
Going back to HTC, so Amaze, here I come!

Personally I would skip this phone, I took a closer look at the specs and it's a slightly buffed Sensation w/ MT4GS's cam. and 256 more RAM. The Prime may be a better choice, but it's taking to long to be released.

I'd say Nexus prime.
Nexus Prime is rumored to have the exy proc with the same GPU as the Ipad2 and Ip4s. ALONG with a 720p screen.
The Amaze has an inferior GPU. Inferior CPU. Inferior Screen.
However... I have no doubt it will look ALOT sexier.

Doesn't that mean no 4G speeds for T-Mobile? I want my 42Mbps speeds
the beauty fo htc products is that ports seem to come very often from newer htc devices...i still have my old hd2 and its amazing..upgraded to sgs4g when it came out, phone is cool, but no ports really and just recently was cwm brought to it..stilll all available ports are just customized samsung unofficial releases. nexus prime, eh if you r with tmobile, and know that 90% chance it isn't coming, then just get the a maze. the amaze will prolly be the best phone tmobile will release for next 6 months. nothing on leaked sheets shows better upcoming phones. i'm about getting phones that will last me a long time as far as technology not being obsolete in a week.. thats why i didn't get sensation. so if the specs on this phone disappoint you, you have problems. get the amaze.

Nope... if we continue to wait for the next big thing in technology, how can we ever enjoy any of it? The evolution of phones is moving very fast... as soon as you get your hands on this new 1.4 ghz phone they will be releasing notes on the even newer 2ghz phone of the future.... I am excited to get my hands on this device and will hold on to it until my next upgrade is available, gives me something to look forward to without having to focus on each new thing out there!

I can agree that if we just keep waiting for the "NEXT BIG THING," we'll never really get a chance to enjoy what's now. Think of it this way, you have a phone that's less than a week old, so you're doing pretty good. Will this phone last for a while? Sure, I think it will. But this is coming from me, who just upgraded from a HERO. So, I think I can hold onto this phone until my next upgrade (1 year from June 24th.)

I can say quite positively that you added nothing to this post, and only took away from it. Maybe it was not "smart" or "high quality", but you just decreased the intelligent level of the conversation. Thank you for that.
I agree with everyone. I am not a tech junkie, I don't have to have the best of the best. I am a graduate student in neurology. I also have a lot a bit of experience in computer programming. I actually used my Org Evo to interface with research equipment and analysis data. Well the software we use continues to advance and demands better phones. So I am just trying to future proof myself in that area. I am trying to make sure the phone's hardware is all that it is suppose to be. If my original evo was up to par, I would still be using that.
I believe that it is. I honestly believe, based off an in depth talk with a gentleman whose entire career is based on developing microchips like the one we see in our phones. He is adamant that the newest generation of qualcomm (spelling) processors are the best he has seen in a phone this far.
Anyway, that combined with the reputation HTC has, the 3vo seems like a great bet.
lol, this is the age old question for tech Buy something that just came out, or wait for something better coming out later
If you go with the attitude to wait, then why not wait forever and get nothing I mean lets say you hold off on the EVO-3D, and wait for the slightly better Galaxy S2, but don't get that the Nexus-4.0 will be even better than the Galaxy S2, but wait, the Nexus-4.0 will be trumped by the best yet Galaxy S3 due next spring per Samsung, but wait the Galaxy S3 will be outdone by the EVO-Three.
What if while waiting for the next best thing, you get killed in a car wreck tomorrow, thus never enjoying the cool tech we have right here, right now.
Oh yeah, the words "Future Proof" lol uh no such thing...
To the OP -
What people have said in this thread makes perfect sense. If you wait for THOSE phones there will be even better ones around the corner in the future too. So you would simply be right back in the same situation.
I can see the 3vo being the 2nd legit 22 month phone. the og Evo being the 1st.
Like others have said you can't keep waiting or you'll never get. As for a 1.4 dual. Meh what's it really going to do that your 1.2's can't do? well outside of increase your penis size in a pissing match. Heck thats about all the quad cores are going to do too.
phones are advancing too fast. there is hardly anything out there that will take full advantage of the dual core phones. i think getting the 3vo would be fine because it will take a bit before developers catch up with it and by then you'll be due for an upgrade.
will be returning evo 3D. Its no diff from EVO 4G besides the 3D and the dual core. waiting for samsung gs2 or Motorola Photon.

Yeah the QHD screen, the better form factor on the body of the phone, double the ram, 4 times the internal storage (this will matter a lot more when we have root and custom roms), the actual camera button, the newer build, second microphone for noise cancelling. You're right the Evo 4G had all of those.
only thing thats making me more and more want to return the phone is..
its not that I don't believe HTC will unlock the phone...
its how many good Dev's are we losing in the meantime?
Today I went to a local bestbuy to take a look at the galaxy nexus, the phone I wsa originally going to wait for. I'm glad I got the Amaze...I was not impressed with any aspect of the galaxy nexus...even at 720p the pentile screen on it still manages to mess up the quality of the screen to a certain extent. if I was to pick screens I would def pick my qHD amaze screen over the amoled 720p. The cameras are not even comparable. we have a backside illuminated wide aspect f/2.2 aperture...where as the galaxy nexus uses a 5mp regular old camera the phone seems a bit long too...just as I though the sgs2 was little bulky this one seems a little bulky too. Amazes size is almost perfect. ICS does seem a little weird without the hardware buttons...I actually rather prefer the soft touch bottoms..the phone is long and does not feel as nice as my amaze in the hand...build quality is the crap plastic feeling I got with my sgs2 when I first bought then returned...overal...right now all it has over the amaze is ICS...I don't even see the big deal with ICS... all the features plus more of ICS area already on sense 3.0 and 3.5 minus the multi tasking and...sense does a good job of integrating facebook twitter all that stuff...something ICS is striving to do add widget locket and adw ex and you have a phone much more user friendly than ics imo. I can't wait till the OTA update of ICS for Amaze I hope they don't F it up...I rather like gingerbread at this point and am pretty much happy with my phone minus the stupid bloatware, which thankfully I was able to freeze using titanium backup using temproot before the wifi calling update...
Ics will look most likely what it looks like on the sensation go check it out links are here in the general forum

Software* a device is hardware and hardware can't support other hardware as far as I know? If your gonna be sarcastic and put down someone's opinion at least don't look stupid while doing it. On that note I would rather have more hardware keys imo helps for like miui where you hold the home button to turn the flash light on and since miui will be updated I don't think it's considered outdated software as you tried to imply and failed.

I've used the ICS Rom for the HTC Inspire and found that even though its in its early stages of development It's very impressive, the captivative buttons are very fitting! I also own a Galaxy Nexus and even though my Amaze is my first pick right now due to build quality for the first time I'm feeling a greater interest in the ICS stock UI and keyboard which I find to be significantly better than that of the Amaze. I do enjoy the the display on the Amaze over Nexus and given that it will receive ICS I'm sticking with HTC.
If anyone is wondering why I also have the Nexus I got it from Bell for signing a contract after I had already paid full price for the Amaze from Telus.

It's all pretty much eye candy, same function but a different method or look of doing. Sharing photos for example rather than menu or tap to select the share options the different options automatically display like gmail, Google+ etc after a new photo is captured. Visual stuff off hand...key pad, lock screen, contacts and app drawer.
Maybe it's just the new feeling of it but I'm impressed. Stock Gingerbread to ICS is like Touchwiz to Sense IMO
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using XDA premium
Hey guys, I've seen a lot of threads about our Amaze vs the SGS2, but not a whole lot about our Amaze vs the Galaxy Nexus. I could get a swap pretty easily, but I'm still on the fence about this, so I made a little list of reasons for and against the swap. I also want the opinions of my fellow Amaze users so your input is much appreciated!
Reasons to stay with the Amaze 4G
- the camera is MUCH better than the Galaxy Nexus, no contest there.
- the Galaxy Nexus has no microSD slot!
- the Amaze 4G is going to get the ICS update eventually, and with that, probably CM9 and more development
- the Amaze 4G has much better build quality
- the Amaze 4G has the option of HTC Sense ROMs for those who prefer it
Reasons to switch to the Galaxy Nexus
- the camera is inferior, however, it's still a decent camera that can replace your basic point and shoot
- 16 GB of storage is enough for most people, it may be inconvenient, but it can be bearable
- the Galaxy Nexus already has ICS, and since it's a world phone, it also has a much bigger development base
- the Galaxy Nexus sacrifices build quality for thinness and lightness, which some may prefer
- even though the screen is a pentile display, many may prefer the SAMOLED and higher resolution screen on the Galaxy Nexus over the SLCD screen on the Amaze
- it's a Google phone, meaning that it will most likely get the latest firmware updates (might even get to see Jellybean!)
- there are no soft keys, which means no soft key bleed problem so you'll have keys that are actually given a chance to light up (a problem that shouldn't have existed in the first place)
Miscellaneous
- the Amaze is clocked at 1.5 GHz and the GNexus at 1.2 GHz, but it does not necessarily mean that the Amaze is faster. In fact, while playing games and running apps, I actually found the GNexus to run a tiny bit faster than the Amaze, but in other cases, the Amaze seems to out-perform the GNexus by a little bit, so the speed difference between the two CPUs is not as big as you think and may even be considered negligible
- both phones have a multi-coloured notification LED
- put yourself in my shoes, if you were offered a straight-up trade, your Amaze 4G for a (like) brand-new Galaxy Nexus, what would you do?
What do you folks think? I love the camera on the Amaze but the handset's shortcomings are really beginning to bother me. To be honest, if I had known that HTC wasn't as developer-friendly as they claimed to be, I wouldn't have picked the Amaze up, but at the same time, the Galaxy Nexus also has its fair share of weaknesses.
I would have to keep my Amaze, simply because I found myself changing between aosp and sense Roms on my incredible. And since that it right around the corner...
I like sense too much to completely get rid of it, sometimes I do need a break from it though.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
I would accept the trade man. Hands down the nexus the device to get because of the support from google.
I've always wanted to try the galaxy nexus... Skeptical though since its built by Samsung. :screwy:

Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
It's a fair trade, I'll just mention 2 things, you can't un-see the pentile layout, once you notice, you'll always notice, and yes... it IS noticeable (but bearable on 720).
also, Amoled screens burn in, so 6 months from now you'll have some solid color spashscreen on the phone, and notice that you can see your softkeys hinted inside of it, I know 3 people with the GNex, and it's already happening to them.
As mentioned the camera is decent, but not as good as the Amaze.
Jellybean will be on it VERY shortly after being released. It comes with PURE aosp, and CM9 will have no bugs other than ones caused by modifications to AOSP... The Amaze CPU is faster, but with a 3.0 kernel and ICS, the GNex is quicker for most things.
I love my Amaze, and the second I can have AOSP ICS and a 3.x kernel, I'd probably disagree with the trade, but for now, it's worth it.
I would stick with the Amaze. The point about the CPU difference will change greatly when the amaze gets ICS. GB isn't dual core optimised while ICS is.
The only thing that the GN has over the Amaze is official Google support and look how that turned out for the Nexus S and ICS... It took forever!

But it had CM9 builds almost immediately, and it didn't take long for the international Nexus S. The SPH-D720 is hardly a Nexus phone, it's a carrier phone, it works only on sprint, it's sold in their storefronts, and was never a "developer" phone. Although it took a little while for the i9020a/t to get ICS, they had a fully working build pretty much immediately after AOSP ICS source dropped.
Nexus line is for developers, the support is there, so if they don't get Jellybean immediately from google, the community will have it obscenely fast.
I'd have to side with the other amaze users out there and say keep the amaze.
The thing is, I always figure the nexus line was supposed to be the best "average" phone for developers. It's not supposed to be the latest and greatest at everything, it's supposed to represent the average android smartphone at the time of its release, so that if someone develops an app, they know that it'll work with the vast majority of android users. There's gonna be phones better than it and phones worse than it

Lol! Just giving my two cents bro.
Honestly, I really really wanted the Galaxy Nexus and waited for a while to see if it would come to Tmo. Google's launch for the device was mad sloppy and I got sick of waiting.
I couldn't give up my Amaze for the Gnex. I use the camera all the time and I love that about this phone. Since having it in December I have over 1,000 pictures taken with it. In fact, when I traveled across the country to visit Pensylvania and Maryland two months ago, I didn't even bring a digital camera with me. Just used the Amaze the entire time and it worked out well.
Sure, development is slow on it and for some mysterious reason HTC is releasing Kernal Drivers for everything BUT this phone, but I feel like that leaves this small community up to a challenge. The work being done to get CM7 onto the Amaze is coming along nicely, and once they get the GSM/Wifi/NFC drivers working we'll finally have an AOSP rom running on this thing. It may be annoying to most people that we haven't gotten it fully running, but I see this as a big acomplishment for the few developers that we have here.
So yeah, I think I'll stick with the Amaze for a while. Its been very good to me

What it is that you are skeptical about? I have used SGS II, 3 varieties, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and SGS original. I think, except than the feeling difference by holding the phone in your hand, there is nothing else which would make you worry of anything go wrong.
Compared to Amaze, yes, Nexus is totally different, 1 thing I love about Nexus phones is the Vanilla Android. Another thing I like about them is they have a different and whole new feeling about how one phone should feel like when you hold it or when its lying on your desk and someone overlooking is amazed with what its got, and the feeling it gives you with its curvy design is also something different which unfortunately no other manufactures have come up with.
On the other hand, I have used many htc phones too, i have had incredible s, amazing build quality. currently I am rocking Amaze 4g, a little bulky and heavy but phone feels good in hands, a little smaller and the fact that it too is made out of plastic, doesn't help much, but still a great phone.
Just my opinion.

No offence, but since you are saying you don't like samsung phones, what is it that you don't like?? and what is it that you don't like nexus phones? I loved my first google phone, the nexus one, i have used nexus s for a long time, and i do have a galaxy nexus, they are great.
Yet the fact that they come with vanilla, is a choice of your own, whether you like a phone with a custom skin or stock android is your cup of tea... but seriously, what is it that you don't like?
Care to share your thoughts with the community?

If you're really impatient, the one x has a better processor and camera but doesnt look as cool as the galaxy nexus.
If not, just wait for the galaxy 3.
I am waiting for the next Nexus phone... it should be out this year... In the mean time I have a OneX as I hate Samsung Galaxy ( except the Nexus line)
i personally suggest HTC EVO 3D
get a nexus or wait for the next one. if the s3 comes out with gingerbread looking touchwizzz it would be a joke. if it has unadulterated ICS on it and samsung leaves it in peace so you can update on a regular basis and even hope for jellybean, then its an option. still i would get nothing but nexus because its open and friendly to the dev community and you'll get the best out of your phone always and without hassle.
galaxy nexus or s3, though the tegra version of the one x looks pretty sweet
If you don't like to wait, choose Nexus.
But I think it's better to waiting for S3
Wait for the Galaxy SIII Before doing a decision, I'm on the same boat!
If I were you I would have went straight for the One X but if your curious then waiting for the S3 is Also a viable suggestion.

I heard jelly bean OS would be released for tablets and keylime pie OS released for the phones. May be wrong.

wait for GS3 but only if the screen is better than the GS2, colors are so wrong and flashy, I really dont like it
Nexus for the best software (update) support.
But as of now, i would choose for the One X. Beautiful screen, beautiful hardware and ICS. Best Android phone on the market atm. That is until the GS3 will be released. Details are still unknown and might not be that much better than the One X. Who can tell?
One X would be the choice. Or you can wait till the GS3 gets announced to make a comparison.

get a nexus or wait for the next one. if the s3 comes out with gingerbread looking touchwizzz it would be a joke. if it has unadulterated ICS on it and samsung leaves it in peace so you can update on a regular basis and even hope for jellybean, then its an option. still i would get nothing but nexus because its open and friendly to the dev community and you'll get the best out of your phone always and without hassle.

Lets hope they don't make that mistake lol.
But from what I have heard/seen it is going be running a more ICS feel to it, so touchwiz will be re-done to fit with ICS.

yeah but thats what i mean. why would they do that. ICS is already ICS so why abusing it and fragmenting android further. why not just slapping bada on the s3 and everythings fine? if they again hack the framework to force hellish touchwizz on it the device will be crippled: no updates (because samsung would have to hack each and every iteration that google hands out), no support, lacking rom culture, no drivers and pale prospects for android-next. i have just made it through all this with my s2, not gonna do it again.
NOTE: I'll get around to organizing this post as soon as I can.
If you remember the ICS Wager Thread from the EVO 3D board, you'll love the JB Wager Thread
ENGADGET's liveblog from Google I/O 2012
Facts so far:
Official Change Log for JB
HTC's Confirmation for One Series (Still doesn't confirm EVO 4G LTE, but should because of it's specs)
Official release: Mid-July for Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Xoom, and Nexus S.
Here is a video of the 2-hour keynote. Google goes over everything in here, including Jelly Bean, Project Glass, the Nexus Tablet, and many other new innovations from Google this year.
Here's a demonstration of Project Butter. They compare 2 Google Nexus phones side by side, one running ICS and the other running JB, and they do it with a high speed camera.
I would link you but im mobile. This has been posted already.

Released to Galaxy Nexus middle of next month... We'll get it, 2 months after the next EVO is released...
You know, I didn't think Apple had much to be scared of.. until now. Google is innovating circles around other companies, and is making Android one cohesive experience among multiple devices and breaking consumers' images of fragmentation. This spells huge trouble for Apple which has yet to release an arguably already outdated mobile device. Playing catch-up just got a LOT harder.
As for when we'll see it, who knows. I'd be happy with even a Christmas release but not holding my breath.

You do know about Apple's business practices right? Everything that's been announced at this presentation will now be patented by Apple in the next 72 hours, and then added to iOS. At which point, they'll begin to sue everyone.
Got the Netflix app update...The update was for jelly bean support!

Will that be the next mid range EVO (Design, Shift) or the next big dog EVO? I'm trying to make the cut off Jan 1st 2013.
I don't know if it's just me, but I had a choice to get either this phone or the galaxy nexus and I chose the EVO lte because from what I saw on the nexus forums and reviews, ICS was a little too powerful for the nexus, which causes ICS to not run as smooth as it could. On our phone, it is more powerful and can easily handle ICS. Am I off on this?

or if it'll have to be a next-generation device that will run it.

I really hope that not even a month and a half into the lifespan of our EVO LTE's that it's still considered a next-gen device!
4.1 seems to be more of an extension of 4.0, not a big jump like it was from 2.3 to 4.0. I would imagine all devices shipping with 4.0 would be able to update to 4.1 without much trouble.
If you remember, the Evo shipped with 2.1, and was updated twice. Once to 2.2, then again to 2.3. So our brand new devices should certainly be updated to at least 4.1, possibly 4.2 whenever the time comes.
What I really wish HTC would do is give us a choice when it comes time for a 4.1 update. A Sense version, or a stock Android version. How great would that be?

Well, the Galaxy Nexus is about 6 months older than the EVO 4G LTE... Specs-wise, the EVO 4G LTE was built to be faster. There should be no reason why we don't get this update. I kid when I say it'll take forever, but in all reality, it's not a full-number version release. This might be something that we see fairly soon. It's like Android 2.2 > Android 2.3.

This will never happen. Sense is HTC's bread & butter. It's the majority factor on the decision of buying the device over other devices. While it's a nice thought to think about (if you're not a Sense fanatic like myself), it's not something that we'll likely see. I myself prefer Sense over stock Android. If I want a taste of what stock Android feels like, I'll probably just buy that Nexus Tablet they announced.
Oh yeah, definitely wishful thinking. In my perfect world that would be a reality though. I'm sure that stock 4.1 will make its way to our device at some point via Cyanogen.

I personally like stock over sense but i just couldn't justify buying last years specs. Im really hoping for a solid android 4.1 stock rom in the next month.
the listing of upgrades for 4.1 aren't anything to get overly excited over, as others mentioned, it's not like going from 2.3 to 4 here, probably won't notice much difference. Just my guess
I don't know ,project butter looks smooth ,the notification stuff is great,the voice stuff .seems pretty substantial.

Project Butter is the part I'm most excited about.
