X I know we shouldn't ask, but since you closed the ics thread, how is it going?
Used cm9 and also ics the other day, and I gotta say, they are awesome, especially cm9 really impressive. It's not like cm7 which was just ugly IMO

If one rolls through ill try to pull for you guys just one question i was able to pull everything back on the vibrant using terminal commands will this work on the amaze? S-on gonna cause any issues with retrieving anything? On the vibrant i was able to get kernel and everything so a dev could easily make a flashable odin file and rom after that.

Why even bother responding to a seemingly innocent question if you're just going to be rude?
The way you're starting to act towards forum members is disgusting. I can only imagine why the CM team hates you
Also if you used proper punctuation and sentence structure people across the forums will take you more seriously.

Binary can you take care of this thread
So I asked HTC when the update should be out and they said either the end of this month or beginning of next month! Just thought I'd keep the public informed.

Yes very good news indeed...
binary is right about multiple threads, is there a way you could attach this thread to the other one? I don't know I'm not a mod.
seems like everybody is excited about this update including me. so whats best, jump out and do the update or wait until someone have a safe rooted port?
Considering the end of the month is in two days.. this is exciting. We've already heard this might arrive in January. If they think the may possibly have it by the end of the month it feels like we can't be more than a week away from having it. Here's hoping for Monday .
Does anyone know if Sense 3.6 = Sense 4.0? I mean last week there was this thing about Pocketnow.com trying out "Sense 4.0" and praising it a lot. Does anyone know if s that the same version of Sense we should expect when the update hits?

The amaze is getting 3.6 not 4.0 unfortunately but i hope we have some devs that will get this with beats audio with the little notify thingy also getting us 4.0 as well. I mean i would expect us getting 4.0 custom but not stock.
It would be awesome if we get it by end of next week.. Just imagine, sense 3.6 and superbowl..

I have a feeling it well be mid March at the earliest.
But I hope I am wrong.

Sense 3.6 is not 4.0. Its just sense on ICS however you could install the AOSP 4.0.3 applications such as MMS and More.

"First 1/2 of 2012 ICS update on 7 phones....the Amaze 4G being one of them"
Nothing about end of January or early February.

I don't know if its just me. But are HTC Amaze owners like LAST to get anything? I swear it looks like there has been a leaked ICS for every phone but ours. Crap, even the 5 year old HD2 from HTC has an ICS ROM. If HTC is really testing the ICS (Which Im starting to doubt) for the Amaze, we would at least hear SOMETHING from them besides, (er... 1st Quarter 2012). I don't know, starting to me sound like they just string us along.

I dunno if it's just me but it appears a few people's timelines are messed up. From every resource I've found the htc hd2 was released at the earliest 3-4quarter 2009 which makes it... Closer to 2.5 years old /off soapbox. But no, this isn't the case there are many, many phones without the hd2 is a great developer phone and due to its popularity and time it's been out the devs know it in and out and what needs to be done to get ics working, same with the vibrant, now. Last I checked gs2 doesn't have any ics. And nor does the mytouch lg devices and afaik mytouch slide among others I could be wrong but I don't believe so. Anyway man we'll get ics. Just takes time it's only been released for a few months now.

LOL I had ICS on my HD2 before it died
Like LordDart said HD2 has alot of dev support which is what made it rock but yea anyways we'll eventually get ICS either from HTC or X.
It does suck though that they keep delaying it, but like many people have already said, better to wait and get something badass rather then get some half assed ICS port. I personally dont mind the wait too much since atleast we have gingerbread which isnt bad at all unlike some of the older versions like Froyo.
Thanks rx, plus, jeez I'm coming from a vibrant... Now we got really screwed. We didn't get official froyo for a long frigging time... And the difference between froyo and eclair was... Well the difference between champagne and carbonated piss... So waiting on froyo for that long was dang frustrating. Even our roms didn't have working gps on froyo for a long time, never got real cm support. Afaik. But now? Now the development there is ridiculously awesome. It's still a great phone. But yeah our phone is smooth and snappy as is... Unlike the vibrant ran outta box. For many months... So don't feel too bad we have a solid phone with some great devs.

I just left the t-mobile gs2. There is no ICS rom. There is also still no official word from Samsung about the update. They say the gs2 will get but no mention of the t-mobile variant. So at least the amaze is mentioned.

Ahh that sucks but honestly I have no problem with that. My phone is amazing and its not even rooted . Thanks for the info man.

Meh, don't care what version of Sense it uses. I'll just be excited that the Kernel source for it will have to be released, which SHOULD fast-track AOSP development, also, it will be based on Linux 3.x, and could (most likely will) update the radio.
early june is too late. consider sensation is getting the update already.

The sensation came out a couple of months before the Amaze, so it makes a little sense that it would get it first.
I'm perfectly fine with waiting a couple of months, I'd rather have a official update that's more glitch free than a early one that hasn't been properly tested.

Given that we have already received nothing from them, is there really anything to lose?
I mean, the only thing they can hold back is the ICS official ROM, but we already have that...
If they do release the official rom, they cannot legally hold back the kernel source. So, what can they do?
I seriously considered a few days ago what would happen if one of us kindly emailed HTC explaining everything and politely asking for the kernel source.
THEY CAN HAVE US ALL ARRESTED FOR INTERNETS HARASSMENT, CHARLES CARREON HAS FREE TIME NOW.
Actually, the only thing we can do is keep asking, hashtag it up gentlemen, but keep it CLASSY. Type like English is your first language. Though they do hate bad PR, totally going to put #HatesCustomers on the end.

Any advice what I should write?
VZW could give a **** less and bugging them will never result in anything positive development-wise; they will release on whatever schedule/circumstances suits them, customers be damned...but I'm all for pounding on HTC via social sites or other avenues, i.e. petitions, letters, etc.

Tell them how sense slows down the device and we want AOSP but that's only possible with source and you should probably tell them about all the drama that goes on around here because we don't have it, oh and all the devs leaving us
You nuts? You gotta at least tell them something they want to hear. Try something kind of like this:
To whom it may concern,
I am an aspiring Android developer and for years, I've absolutely loved Android devices from HTC. In fact, the Galaxy SIII, Nexus, and other competitor phones have zero appeal to me because I've always loved HTC. I don't feel comfortable with any other hardware manufacturer because I know I can always expect great design, ergonomics, and a manufacturer-designed user interface that makes sense (so much so that you guys even call it Sense).
My latest device is the HTC Rezound, but I upgraded before the One X and other devices were coming out because Verizon is the carrier in my area with the best signal quality. I love my Rezound because it reeks of the superb design and quality I can always expect from HTC. However, I like to develop on it as well, and I've recently hit a few snags because I lack the kernel source for the phone. So I ask as a loyal customer, could you please let me have it?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Your fan,
[NAME HERE]
Their not going to release a ICS kernel source when it hasn't even officially been rolled out yet in my opinion. Hopefully when it is released they drop the source quickly.
HTC Rezound
Lol i never got them to release the cdma desire froyo source after 7 months after the update. However that was even more of a red headed step child than this phone lol.

7 MONTHS?! That should be illegal. What the hell was stopping them?
As for our source, I doubt they are allowed by Verizon to release anything before OTA drops. Which will not happen until their new cash cow (Droid Incredible 4G) has had time to move plenty of units. So... probably no sooner than 2 weeks from now. That's if you're optimistic.
"...reeks of the superb design and quality..."
Perhaps not the best choice of words, lol.
But seriously, thanks for trying. This is too good a phone for HTC to let ignominiously die.
