Official HC RUU? - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

I may be getting the BBY Wifi Only Flyer for christmas and I'm wondering how to update it to HC officially. Not really interested in S-Off due to the limited deving for this device.

You cannot do it except by using Globalton's S-OFF method because the models won't match the current RUU. But the S-OFF method works absolutely perfect on the BB Wfi, so why wait?

OK. Sounds good. I really don't wanna use GB and get used to everything just to have it change in a few weeks. I may try that method. We'll see if the HC OTA actually comes any time soon.

A couple of people on this forum are really tapped in to HTC's releases, we will have it here before it ever hits OTA. In the meantime, enjoy what we have, it works very well. If you are into high-end games, HC can cause some incompatabilites, but that is also true for other tablets like the Acer A100. Many developers assume if you are tunning HC you have a 10 inch tablet.

Would you suggest staying on GB or going to HC?

I love HC compared to GB, but I do not do a lot of gaming. I use the Flyer more for business and email. I use the pen. I like the stock browser.

digitalMD, choosing easy Globaltron HC method, means I can downgrade to GB versus LeeDroid v3.1 method? thanks.

[Q] Direction

I just got the second Flyer to play with Rooting etc. safe to say that despite my technical willingness I am a noob in the phone rooting and custom rom area.
I prefer HC and ultimately would want to install ICS if/when available on this second unit beit stock or custom.
My question is what would you suggest as the path for me to take to be in the best position to use this device to learn and take advantage of all of the enhancements you guys offer and position myself for ICS
Thanks...

For those having swype problems.

Being an advid lover of swype and not particularly caring for the built in trace options on the HTC Flyer. I figured I would try SlideIT.
I don't particularly like slideIT on the phone as swype just feels smoother and seems to manage space better.
However, I figured I would test it on the flyer and feel it is a great alternative to the stock HTC trace keyboard with a few extra features. I would not pay 5$ for it, but on sale for .99$ it is a great deal. I would highly suggest trying it out as swype seems to have no real concern about officially supporting the HTC flyer.
https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5kYXN1ci5zbGlkZWl0Il0.
i bought it during the 10c sale...the only thing i like about it is the skins...it doesn't hold a candle to Swype on accuracy and word prediction - but yes, it's better than the stock Trace
Why not just use Swype then? Runs fine for me.

what version O/S are you running? the last time i tried to download it on Honeycomb it didn't let me
edit: i just tried again, i get "this is not an android phone" from the 'get' URL
I'm on the stock GB ROM. That's probably why it works for me. I just loaded a black and white version I had sitting on my PC. Probably gonna root pretty soon, just gotta buy a new sd card for the tab. Looking forward to trying some of the Roms.

Seeing as the title is "For those having swype problems" I think that would be pretty explanatory as to why we aren't using swype.
For like 6 months now Swype has not officially supported the flyer on honeycomb.
After a few days with SlideIT I must say it doesn't compare to swype.. but, it is nice to have some skin options.
I find Trace and SlideIT both have more issues than swype.. I can't really say over all what is the "better" keyboard, but I can spend a 1$ to find out if there is a possible better opportunity and would encourage others to at least try the alternative as well. (I still haven't decided whether or not I prefer SlideIT to trace, but I imagine everyone will have personal preference one way or the other)
The other reason I decided to go ahead and pay out is because if swype ever doesn't have support and trace isn't an option... I will have the SlideIT option if I ever have to get another tablet.

I didn't realize this was a HC issue, as it was not indicated in your OP. I have a modified black/white Swype apk that I loaded on GB. I have no experience with HC yet. My response was to the poster above me. Again, I didn't realize it was a HC issue and there was no indication of what the Swype issues are/were.
That being said, I totally understand going with an alternative. I missed the sale and have no need for this other keyboard at the moment. But perhaps I'll give their trial version a run. Thank you for providing another option.

So far, the lack of Swype, and the GPS lock issues, are the only issues I've encountered with Honeycomb. Everything else has been extremely smooth...

The trail doesn't work on the flyer for some reason.
I myself am hesitant to try the various modified swype APKs I've seen flying around..
Plus I would like some degree of official support from whatever App I use.. Not adverse to dev support or anything.. but, I've found swype is making continuous improvements in the right direction and would hate to have to be "frozen" on an older version of it.. Even if I like swype more.. at least the .99$ version of SlideIT may still change and get improvements..
Also while the sale is off now.. It will be back up in a week or two I'd almost bet money.. I wouldn't recommend it on phones as it takes up a lot more space than swype.. but, on tablets the space it waste is almost a non-issue.
Flex t9 works great and works with the scribe decently.
I downloaded the swype installer apk to my desktop computer, copied it over to my Flyer and ran the install. It installed perfectly and works great. It is version 3.26.92.38303.

That's not quite the only difference. They have a different chipset too.
As for ICS, eventually, but seeing as how the view only just got HC 3 months ago I wouldn't count on any official (HTC) builds hitting us until the end of the year IMO. If i'm wrong, i'm wrong.

Wow just reading the blog, so many people are asking about flyer and HTC decided not to include in the ICS roll out.... Fully capable and able device like View/Flyer should be getting it first, I bet they cant integrate the scribe in to it or its taking them a very long time to do it and this is why they are not putting it forward.... This really is a sad day for us HTC flyer/view users
I have faith in God, everyone else must pay up front. LOL
I ve contacted HTC support and confirmed thats there is no scheduled update since now. I think that means we will never see any update for Flyer. HC turned out very buggy I cant even make skype calls, music sounds strage in high volume, flash player plays only via explorer and nowhere else eg fb, and many others. I ve just downgrade to GB and my Flyer is usable again with no bugs till now. ps I ve asked support how to downgrade and they anwered that I just cant. My opinion is that there will be no update even for bugs HTC just dont care for HTC Flyer anymore they consider it as a dropped project.

Android 5 "jellybean" for HTC flyer

So. What now?
There is few - non-complete - ICS roms for the htc flyer, but nothing good enough for daily use.
We didn't even get android 4 before android 5 was out... :crying:
Drew Garen is apparently working on ICS. Maybe he should be asked to try to work on Jellybean instead?
What do you think? Will it be harder to get Jellybean? Will it ever be done?
I think you should just give it up. What makes you think we ll get 4.1,if like you said we don't even have a good ics Rom. If you realy want buy a nexus 7. It's 199 so the price is very reasonable
I'm pretty confident that Chaos is going to get his ICS build perfected with everything working, I mean, look how far he has gotten so far. I wouldn't count on DG though. Too many broken promises.
As for Jellybean. The source code isn't even released yet. Just the update for the galaxy nexus and the sdk. Sdk ports will never be as good as source builds so forget about that. When the source is released for JB I don't think it will be too hard to get an AOSP build going seeing as we already have a good ICS build. The leap wasn't as big from ICS to JB as it was from GB to ICS. So in theory, we will probably get JB (I can't speak for the other developers) sometime after the source is released.
So just sit back, be patient and keep track of any news
This is getting silly. Really! I think it is best to just cut the loses & buy something new. I think the turn around for new OS'a is shortening. I mean ICS isn't even a year old. I've learnt my lesson.
My next contract will only be 12 months. & I will dump the limping HTC brand for something else. That way I won't be disappointed.

I was kind of hoping DG would actually do something...
However, I have been positively surprised with other developers before. Honestly I don't want another tablet either.

I personally want to use my device as long as the hardware is okay. (I still have my HTC hero, haha.) I think the lesson here is to buy a device that has loads of rom developers.
Anyways, thanks for all the replies!
Man everyone is obsessing over jelly bean...why? It's a minor update.. its a miracle chaos got ics running on this device, asking for jelly bean is a new monster. Id rather the focus be on getting ics perfect for the tablet than start over on a new monster. And idk about jelly beans New tablet mode, Id prefer the tablet ui that was introduced with honeycomb.
Thing is google cranks out new android versions quickly. People won't keep this tab forever, including developers. So the best possible experience that takes full advantage of the flyers hardware needs to be the goal not desperately trying to scrape together parts to get another version of android on the tab. Really I'm fine with honeycomb aside from the lag, and ioiwillio is working on that and so far so good

I think I'd rather get ICS running properly too.
Jelly Bean does not have a landscape home screen, which is weird.
The emphasis on voice and search is getting too much for me too. I feel like Jelly Bean was designed to collect information about you. It is getting too big brotherish.
It sounds great to get a Nexus 7 maybe 16g at least. I don't know if they have sdcard slot, that would awesome. The HTC EVO View still has great potential as a school tool. I take it everywhere take notes, make beats, do homework, watch movies, listen to music, text everyone and email. I hardly carry my phone to school or laptop. I think its still very functional, even the Gingerbread works fine on this device. I can even code. It's definitively not a 12 core that I treasure so much as to not carry it outside my home in sunny Southern California.
I would rather use telepathy but I'm stuck in a Dark Age.
Big Bro indeed. As much as I like Google, their goal of collecting all information is frightening. Information is power - someone with too much power is a tyrant.

AS Gumby said earlier i do not think it is too hard to do, i am not even sure it requires Kernel changes in order to get it working, i believe that it can share the same kernel as AOSP ICS, however don't quote me on this. I will have a look at this with whoever decides to develop
@Gumby you up for this ? ?

This could be fixed i believe, (Not by me) as i don't really know much about the APK's at all. But i beleive it is possible, the same code from an ICS lockscreen apk would work and also i believe a lot of the ICS APK's would work as this is not a major API level only a slight step up, however i could be incorrect.
Yeah actually the 10 inch layout for jellybean is classic honeycomb style and they've already found out on the nexus tablet its just a matter of rooting and changing the dpi

Yes. It seems like I am wrong about it anyway. There IS a landscape mode in the UI.
I am thinking about ordering one. It is a shame because the Flyer has better hardware in some respects (rear camera, SD slot, MHL support). But, Nexus 7 hardware is good enough and, most importantly, it has Google supporting it so we will surely get timely software updates for a while at least. Also, I am sure that there will be a ton of Dev activity becasue this is a Google product and will probably be at least moderately successful.
Hope the community of flyer grow stronger and stronger. Anyway it is not old enough to die, with all this, All the flyer will have a longer life:fingers-crossed:

We need a ICS kernel first, and I was pretty sure the framework changes were rather intensive.
From what I can gather, the changes between HC and ICS and hell compared to the minor update from ICS to JB. If we can get a working ICS build for the Flyer, JB will seem like a piece of cake.
Back to the UI discussion, I'm actually a fan of the layout on the Nexus 7. It's actually more of a traditional phone layout which would work much better on the Flyer if the soft keys were disabled and we could go back to the hardware keys. It would free up the bottom of the screen and give us more usable space.

I'm kinda thinking that too. Ideally what I think would be perfect for the flyer is a launcher with a honeycomb layout that auto rotates to both portrait and landscape and has no dock and the apps and search bar up top just like honeycomb. Then you have the notification bar up top, virtual keys disabled, and hardware keys enabled and bam perfect flyer layout!

I would suggest you try Coolexe's 3D V6 which uses the Leedroid HC tweaks and added lots of other tweaking bit in there. Allows cpu to be overclocked and unclocked (with Antutu cpu) and all features in the Flyer works. That was the best HC rom I ever used. Close to perfection but battery life was not good, hence the need to unclock the CPU to 1.3Ghz or 1.2Ghz to last longer depending on how much you want to live on batteries.
ICS and JB roms are not great for GSM but generally feature deficient to a certain extend. ie Trade-offs like flaky BT and flaky wifi and some stability issues here and there.
NexusFlyer Rom (here) was recently updated to 1.3. It's the latest (albeit still somewhat flakey) version of 4.1.2 (it mistakenly says 4.1.1) that is out there right now. I like it more now that BT is working, but still has a way to go.
I suppose I should get cracking and learn how to be a dev

If you really want to have everything working (GSM calls, GSM call with BT headset, proper stylus support, full cameras support, ...) go with Gingerbread ROMs like Max128's. Otherwise, live on the edge and try any of the newer alternatives: One XXL, Dexter's JB, NexusFlyer, ... I just don't advise you try Leedroid's or Coolexe's as bootloop galore is quite likely to happen.

Ditto, Cool 3D very workable, and I'm not wanting to go beyond Honeycomb unless desparate, due to lack of camera and h/w acceleration.

The 10 second screen timeout has forced me to look at some other roms could not get the UCS HD to fix the issue
I am still searching for the best rom and even started trying to learn how to make/modify one myself!!!
Any ideas for a Phone Rom to use as base would be appreciated or any other ideas.
This Device does not need to be EOL for us all!
I have cooked my first few roms and hoping to fix some issues,
bluetooth voice calls [works on stock rom (for some Max128 rom)]
speaker/mic toggle.
any advise would be appreciated
leedroid is great

I just don't advise you try Leedroid's or Coolexe's as bootloop galore is quite likely to happen.

I switch between GB and HC no problems with bootloops.
GB needs mic/speaker toggled during calls.
HC bluetooth does not work on calls.
Not sure which is biggest issue!
New Rom
Anybody interested in collaborating/sharing knowledge to make a fully functioning Rom. I lack the skills and time at the moment but am doing what I can do understand why some features work on some roms and not others!
pooling our findings may help

I am sorry but I have put my Flyer on Ebay and gone back to the Samsung note without any experienced developers interest development just seems to have stalled.
Hey guys. If you check out SebastianaFM's work, you'll be impressed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349756
He ported a whole ROM and kernel to an unsupported device. A few years ago, he ported Sense 3.0 to HTC Magic which is pretty old. I'm thinking we can buy him a Flyer and he can start developing for it. He's a very capable developer and it'll save us from buying new devices. So far, the only thing that has irritated me about the flyer that HTC withdrew support. What do you all think?
