This was released from HTC on their Facebook page about an hour and a half ago:
https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150493158328084
Since Google unveiled Ice Cream Sandwich earlier this week, HTC has been looking closely at the new OS's features and functionality to determine our upgrade plans. We're a recognized industry leader in providing fast and consistent upgrades to our Android devices (see what Engadget had to say about our upgrades: http://engt.co/qMb9nQ), and Ice Cream Sandwich will be no different.
Upgrades require a careful balance of hardware and software to ensure the best possible performance and usability, so please stay tuned as we assess our product portfolio. Our goal is to upgrade as many HTC devices as possible and we'll be sharing details on specific devices and timing in the coming weeks!
Thanks!

Technically all the Android powered devices capable of running of Android Gingerbread will be able to run Android 4.0 ICS but Practically all devices may not give an overall good user experience . So all the manufactures are reviewing ICS on their devices to check the user experience and will release the latest OS according to the results.
HTC's list of devices that will surely get ICS :
* HTC Sensation (XL,XE,Original)
* HTC EVO 3D
* HTC Incredible S
* HTC Desire HD
* HTC Flyer
* HTC Rhyme
* HTC Desire S
* HTC Salsa
* HTC Desire Z
* Google Nexus One

Cool deal, though no need to post it in both threads really.
Doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know to be honest. Google already said most if not all GB devices should be able to run ICS fine. It was pretty certain the 3D would get it, esp with googles mandate to keep support for devices for X period of time.
Only thing i found a lil interesting is the fact that they put the Nexus One on the list to get ICS but left off the EVO4G.....

The Nexus One being a Google phone, I think it would be almost like a slap to the face to Google if they skipped that one. Plus with it being a true Google experience without sense or anything, it might be fairly easy compared to their other phones.

yeah i get that. the only thing i can think of is HTC is only going to work on ICS for sense 3.0+ devices and thats why they will leave it out of the evo4G. Otherwise they will have to dev for both versions at the same time and thats costly.
Which sucks for them b/c spec wise the phone meets the req. It sucks that sense will get in the way of them updating that device.

Yea. As much as I do like sense. ICS does look pretty badass. I will probably check out the the aosp ROMs to see what its like and I'll probably check it the sense ones as well and just go from there. I love flashing anyway so it will be perfect.

SO who's gonna be upgrading to the Amaze 4G ??
I wouldn't mind.. but will wait a little. Still like my MYTOUCH 4G. Just upset with t-mobile service.. highly disappointed.

In order for me to purchase another device it has to be rooted with s off already accomplished. I love the mt4g way to much right now.
Nah, even if it was rooted. Even though the specs are a little bit better than the Sensation I'd still rather get the Sensation because all of the good devs already jumped to the Sensation.
I'd be surprised if a lot of devs went to the Amaze. Probably going to be a similar situation with the SGS4G when all of the devs were already on the Vibrant, no point in getting the SGS4G.
Good phone though, just wish that's what HTC did with the Sensation. The 1GB of RAM and better camera is nice.
Nope. The specs are all that. I'd need more to make me jump to a new phone.
ill prolly pick it up, but not when it first comes out. i love my phone but id like to have something with a little bigger screen and soft keys
The device just looks so damn good though. I'm thinking about it hard.

Specs isn't the only important thing....The G2X had good HW, but had some hw flaws like bleeding among other things.
Personally, this close to the launch of Ice Cream Sandwich, I'd be inclined to wait until HTC's first ICS phone. Or until CM8 has a stable release for a device of choice

Steve still works with CM, it's just a separate project now, it may have less work from cyan himself. However you can't forget that CM has a large amount of devs, Cyan has help from others so I doubt they would actually allow CM brand to die off like this.
Well perhaps working at Sammy will give Steve a chance to make sure ICS reaches other their other phones quickly
Considering that CM just announced it would support 10 new Sony Ericsson devices, I take that as a sign that we won't see CM winding down anytime soon.

Since Steve works with Sammy now I'm thinking that he could be learning new or different tweaks, Sammy should have some sort of ICS access (Sammy should have it by now) depending on his job position; so maybe he can work on CM8 slightly earlier. Personally I'm not to thrilled about ICS, after seeing that NexusS w/ "ICS"....It looked nothing like I thought, I figured Google would step it up to fend off iOS5/WP7.5(Mango). But it doesn't seem like much of a UI overhaul, but I'm sure the usability/features have been significantly changed.
I've been sitting on an upgrade since last month so I'm going to use in on the Amaze, even though I was planning to use it on the Sensation.
I don't know if this is new, last I heard it was only "Q1 2012."

I've played with ICS and idk if i really like it vs sense. I'm really curious to if/how htc may skin ics with subtle sense features. I mean i think we can all agree that htc's widgets are amazing vs whats out there and i use many of them all the time. i'd sure hate to sacrifice them just to have the newest android os. how do you guys feel about if ics for amaze being skinned with some form of sense vs plain ics?

As far as I know the reason there is no CM7 support for the Amaze, is because CM9 is relatively close to release and it will support the Amaze.

It won't happen. It's too late in their development process to make sense 4.0 for our devices. There probably already finished with 3.6 they are just waiting for final confirmation and allowance from carriers to push it. Although I'm not sure lol

HTC said that the new image processor is an important part of sense 4.0. So yeah that spec is something our phones don't have. How true that noone will know unless HTC gave us the Sense 4.0 source code.
They said first to that HTC Desire HD wouldnt get Sense 3.0 and it still got it. So who knows we will get Sense 4.0 official to.
We will see then. But I don't worry about an small think like that as there is already an sense 4.0 rom and I'm sure as soon we have official ICS for our device that the devs will make an fully functional sense 4.0 rom.

Important part lol..
They rebuild Sense 4.0 from the ground up! It's based on Sense 2.1 iirc, which is the best Sense version imho. The image crap they put in is nice, but it's more a brand thing.. like "Wow HTC has a dedicated Image Processor for better quality!". You can compare it to the Beats integration, it's cool to have it, but it doesn't add a whole lot to the overall experience.

So you've seen the code and see it's based on sense 2.1? It may look similar but we don't know what's under the hood yet.
I'm sure the bigger reason is they don't want to spend the money to rewrite the code for older phones, or the carriers don't want to split the bill for that work. Plus the non-vocal majority of people who own these phones will be quite upset if their phone UI is changed to something they're not used to. It's similar to Apple not giving you Siri on an Iphone 4 vs 4s. We all know that work is server side so it's not the processor, it's the fact that Apple wants you to buy a 4s vs a 4.
Does it suck, sure, but I can see the reasons on their end they went with sense 3.6 instead. Atleast we're getting ICS and an updated sense.
Better question is what does 4.0 offer that 3.6 does not...exactly.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Its true Sense 4.0 is much different from Sense 3.0. And be honest I think its an big change. So I can understand if they not include Sense 4.0 in the updates for HTC Evo 3D and HTC Sensation.
Hi, I just wonder how long it takes to port sense 4.0 to android 4.0 after android 4.0 released oficially for evo 3d. As we know ics update will come to evo 3d gsm with sense 3.6. But i like sense 4.0 more than 3.6...
Now i don't want to port ics roms because they don't support 3D and some minor things...
It's very much a science. Lots of research, development and a ton of trial and error goes into it.
An estimate is tough
I would say it's in the ballpark of 1 to 60 days though.

It seems to easy to us but i know developers work for hours, days and weeks... Virtuous team started to port sense 4.0 to htc one's android 4.0. It is really bad to wait oficial ics; and it is worse to wait sense 4.0 with ics than waiting oficial ics
Given that HTC have access to android source, sense source, and drivers for the kernel they should be able to get a working rom in a week or less. Sense only slows down the release of updates as they then have to go and debug the problems sense caused.
/edit They = HTC, They have no reason to update a phone once released thus will put it on the back burner and and take as long as they want to release stuff like android 4.0 because people will buy a new phone.

I'm wondering when will people stop believing this myth. Sure, Sense might add a short additional time to the development, but rewriting source code, that was build for completely different device is what is taking most of the development time. Not to mention to properly implement new drivers.

I dunno what makes camera work. Android or sense? If the answer is android, we should have a working camera when ics for shooter released. If it is sense, maybe htc one's sense codes aren't fully suitable with evo 3d so it will take more time to have working camera with ics with sense 4

I was running it today and it was pretty good, I'm looking forward to warm four dot zero. 3.6 has amazing battery life and sense 4 has fluidity and a new taste. I'm not a fan of 3.0 with ics, but that battery life is amazing. I got about 10 hours before I got to 10% and I'm a pretty heavy user (a lot of Facebook and Voxer over 3g). Usually my phone would last 8 or 7 hours before it died.

The Nexus is ok at best, I've tried it and can honestly say that the SII, 3D, and even Note feel more comfortable for usability. Sure, the stock ICS is fluid and is designed around the capabilities of the Nexus, but in the end, you're still playing with a black banana phone with a goofy curved screen.
Sense 4.0 is a huge change over 3.6. If you haven't tried newts Rom do it. 3d and 4g aren't working but you really won't miss them. Although I am surprised that no one has ported the EVO 4g LTE Rom to our device yet. It would be nice to have a full cmda sense 4.0 Rom.

I think it's pretty simple to be free from Sense if that's your preference... get a different phone and stop complaining.
Most people that buy HTC do so because they like Sense UI, above all other factory UI variations... Sense 4 is the best one yet. TouchWiz, MotoBlur, and everything else don't even compare.

Totally agree newt one s was pure sexy. Loved it but had to go back to 3.6 because I need my bluetooth talk driving company vehicle. Can't wait till the 4g lte Roms hit. Sense 3.6 is a nice improvement from our 3.0 but 4.0 is superb.

Once ICS comes out officially, what do you guys think the chances are of having a fully functional ICS Sense 4.0 rom? I'm new to HTC and Sense and aren't really sure how complicated it would be to port it to the EVO 3D.

I'd say the chances are very good... like 99% chance that there will be a Sense 4.0 ROM that has everything working.

Not true at all. Opinions are not facts. He felt I'll show you, "most people who buy htc phones do so for the hardware specs, they don't even like sense or know what it is"
