Earlier today, Dan Morrill of the Android Team posted a message to the Android Building Google group updating the status of code availability due to recent server downtime.
“We plan to release the source for the recently-announced Ice Cream Sandwich soon, once its available on devices.”
So guys.....expect CM9 and other roms based on ics soon....

haha, i think the point i was trying to make was that we have evo 3d's... it won't be for a little while. HTC would still need to get a project team together, integrate the software with our device, build a kernel for it, and test/troubleshoot.
that could be months away before you even hear about an official release from them. i think our dev's here have a better shot at getting a fully functional rom out (as far as a timeframe goes)

dude they have always done this. it will be pushed to AOSP the day of or after the phone is released. just like with FroYo and Gingerbread. Honeycomb is the only exception to the rule.
So yeah depending on your defn of soon, itll be out in November once the actual phone is released. NOT a moment before though b/c thats not how they do things.
In the early days of android there have been unofficial leaks

i would assume manufacturers have special access to this source code months before release. my guess is we get the ota a month and half after the nexus is released. What im wondering is how htc will integrate sense with ICS? will they remove parts of sense since ICS is more than adequate?
HTC via facebook
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!

Guys, don't count on any form of ICS.... AOSP or Sense any time this year. Just let it go... =p
If you want ICS, go to (bleh) Verizon or wait til next year when someone gets it rolling on our phones.

As far as custom ROMs go, we're close to getting a bootable ICS sdk port and when source drops, we should have a stable (no 4G, sound, camera, 3D, etc.) ICS ROM weeks after.
Cyanogenmod 9 alphas should also be here around a month or two after the source drops.
But as far as an HTC update goes, I think we'll be seeing it in February-March.

Bootable SDK port is not at all what I was talking about. That's gonna be a butchered up mess...
I agree with you about CM9 alpha builds.. but that goes along with what I said about not getting it this year. The source won't drop until the Galaxy Nexus is released..which is in November.
I don't really see how you can call a rom with no sound, camera, 4G, 3D stable tho lol. It likely will have MMS issues as well. That isn't at all stable.
So yea, don't expect anything ICS flavored this year other than something you can boot up and play around with, then wipe off when you actually need your phone =p
I'm ok with it tho, I would like it ASAP but I understand it takes time... and I'm not into flashing anything that's ..well, butchered.
I think the real concern will be how much HTC killsoff the look and feel of ICS with Sense.

You and me both. I'd like to see them go the *gasp* Samsung route and just leave the vanilla android icons and such. Tone Sense waaay down and just concentrate on other ways to make it better.
As much as I don't see them leaving it very vanilla, at some point they are going to have to realize that people are getting tired of Sense and change it up.

A month and a half is plenty of time to get ICS running. Distros like CyanogenMod are already set up to merge changes that it will bring. I'm too lazy to keep searching for it, but Cyanogen has publicly said that they're prepped for the changes

It took longer than 1.5 months for GB, You MIGHT get an alpha but I doubt it. There are 2 major holidays left that are going to impact development, and we don't even have cm7 on our 3Ds yet aside from an alpha.
We can debate it but none of us really know. I'm just making a guess based on past experiences. I'm fine with it regardless tho, ICS looks nice visually, but, that's about all I care about in the new android 4.0. The last android update I wanted was 2.2, since then they have been kinda meh
Fully functioning version of 2.3.5 with Sense 3.5, OC GPU, OC L2 Cache, fully working Amaze Camera with Zero shutter lag.

A little Jealousy here. They also have more cm updates.

I agree... would be nice to have these things too.

Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Well you have to account for the facts here. Like fact the sensation has gotten a sense 3.5 leak so that explains why you might view theirs as better than the ones here. Though the ports here are damn good if you ask me personally.
Also they have gotten more CM updates likely bc they got first CM alpha about 2weeks before we did. Give it time it'll happen.

Sadly the Evo 3D does kinda feel like a black sheep at the moment..
The main reason they have so many roms is because its a GSM phone. And a popular one on that. All sensation devs from around the world can make a rom and it run on practically any sensation. Us one the other hand are limited cdma, U.S. devs on sprint. Don't get wrong we have some great ****ing devs, we just can't logically match in terms of numbers. And about cm7 I believe both the 3d's and sensation was released on the same day (exact same time). I truely think that we have just as much progress with aosp, its just behind closed doors. I have spoken with some teamwin members and they all have seperate pieces of the build they are working on. Dont forget they are also bringing us twrp 2.0 I hope we get something soon because waiting does suck

yeah you right, i was looking on my phone and just looked at the updated date not the initial post date on our section hence being wrong before.
With that said being the hardware is very similar aside from 3D, it seems that aspect of it is causing the bigest hang up right now. Good thing is toast's last post comented on it saying he had made some good headway on it.
Im not missing anything. Im using infected rom 1.3 and my 3d developed a super camera. Wasnt like this the first couple of times i flashed it tho. Ill post two picks of moving things that were never possible before. The corvette is driving by and the girl was diving on the football.

Sprint Evo3D.
Yea, the EVO 3D development is lacking a helluva lot more than I thought it would be. I figured since the Evo 4G got so much love, the the 3D naturally would. WRONG lol.
I love the phone, but I'll definitely pay more attention to dev support next time. We have a couple nice roms here, MAYBE 1-2 decent themes, but that's it. My phone functioned just as well and looked pretty close to the same when it was unrooted with a custom skin.
So yea, count me in as jealous

Same here. Got the Evo 3d thinking Revolutionary and Devs be all over it but the GSM version turning to be a fizzer. I sold my Evo 3d to get a Sensation but next to the Evo looks crap. So now will wait for Samsung Nexus knowing it will get lots of love. Can't see much of a future for Htc if gets harder and harder for s-off etc.
Yea, I'm jealous too. I gotta admit that there isn't as much dev interest in the Evo 3d as I had expected.
If anything I'm only a tiny bit jealous. We have plenty of devs and plenty of roms here. to my knowledge the only major improvement 2.3.5 brings is NFC and neither of us have a chip for it lol. Moreover Sense 3.5 has a couple little things added but 3.0 runs just fine
Had to re-ignite this because they now have ICS with Sense 3.5
...definitely jealous :-(
Sorry for the probably dumb question, but I have a G2X now with CM9 ICS and it rocks. I need some money and have to decide whether to sell the Amaze or G2X.
I really love the device features of the Amaze, but am really bummed out with the HTC has approached to development of it.
I believe the devs need a kernal source to get the radios working and everything working correctly.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
didnt they do it with out source code on the defy?
If we had a good kernel dev who was willing to put a week into making an aosp ics kernel, it'd be done.
Our only kernel dev is busy.
The Rom devs who are working on porting it are fine untill they hit the part when they need to start editing and hacking away at the kernel. Their basically just flying blind.

Honestly, just like we did for S-OFF, if we can get a pool together, for someone to work on a Kernel, we will attract many devs.
Hell it might just give Max Krivonos more incentive to finish his CM9
If devs won't come to the device willingly, we'll shove some money down their throat and force them to [email protected]!
well i just cant decide what i want to keep.
CM9/ICS on this G2X is just SICK, if it just had the 1gb of ram this decision would be so much easier.
The Amaze wins!

What? You have both G2X and Amaze and contemplating about which to keep? To me, I obviously keep the Amaze and customize it to be better than the CM9. I had a G2X for a week and exchanged it to the Amaze and never looked back. The G2X felt way too cheapy for my taste.
I still keep my old G2 (not the returned G2X) and upgrade it, whenever I feel like to, to the latest CM9 nightlies for a fun of it. But I just think the Amaze with ICS is much better in every aspect. Heck, customized GB on the Amaze was not bad at all, either. So I am not even sure whether I would flash CM9 when/if it is available for the Amaze.
Probably you should list what features you like about CM9 here and have people suggest how to get it on the Amaze.
true, but CM9 ICS on the GX2 is VERY SLICK

If the phone hardware and features isn't important to you I can sell you my old vibrant- it has a smooth cm9.. but I think you'd be overlooking what are the most important features to most people in phones. Sure, CM9 is great, but people don't typically buy phones for cm9. There are devs working on these things, but you must think it is a much simpler process than it actually is.. I'm making a nandroid of my setup right now so I can help mess with either getting cm9 fixed, or miui ported, or something to give us better than stock.. but you should know as well as I do, it is likely that just as you sell the amaze it will happen - or soon after.
It will happen, you just have to be patient.. or you can just keep the inferior phone and regret it later.
I do not think it is simple at all, or it would already be done.
I wasnt sure if it was a matter of time on the dev's part or if we were still hoping HTC would release stuff to even make it possible.
I have no problem waiting, but since I dont know much about developing, I wasnt sure if it would even happen since HTC are stingy bastards
I'm becoming a lot more experienced with kernels I am making some progress but slow goes the boat

First I want to thank all the crew working on the Super JELLY ROM. Your attention to detail is making this the best ROM I've ever used and I've used quite a few.
I have a question to throw out to whoever has the answer. One of the things I miss most with my update to Jelly Bean is the Quick settings tab in the notification dropdown window.
Are Quick Settings just gone forever with JB, or will there be a Mod for it someday?
I know Super JELLY has something like it as an option is settings, but I just liked the old school one.
From what I've read, the code that allowed enabling that has been removed by Google/Android.
Edit: wait, maybe HTC removed it. I don't use sense, but on AOSP, I have the same toggles that have existed since froyo (or maybe it was GB, I forgot). Just abandon sense, android is much better on the AOSP side.

Truth...
Look man, the evo is a great phone. However, if you plan on having a broad source for development forget about it. This phone is and has been coming up short with custom offerings. Sorry. Because I once loved this phone, but there is nothing here happening for it.
HTC removed them. Started with our last OTA actually as we saw the ATT OneX have quick settings in their OTA, and then when it came to the EVO getting theirs it was removed... Personally thought that this was a sprint thing since other One series had it but now with the JB OTA rolling to all devices now it shows it was an HTC decision as its now gone from all of them...
Maybe they have something in the works for that area, or there are other plans in place for something else completely new?...

CM10.1, MIUI w/4g, SlimRom Official, JB kernels w/ active governors, updates from DEVS consistently, mostly regarding AOSP roms.. but thats just a few..Sorry if what I wrote as opinion bothered you or anyone else. Simply stating what is true, this device has dated AOSP roms, and I was informing the user. Apologies..However, you wont have to hear my opinions stated anymore, I bought a GS3 to get some solid custom roms. See ya!
CM10.1 is here maybe you should look before posting it doesn't exist......and JB kernels will come once source is out... Which will be pretty soon, so dunno what's the disconnect there...do you not know that to build true custom kernels you need source? sgs3 got JB before the evo so naturally they'll have custom kernels before it too...
Sorry things are not spoon-fed enough over here for you to get everything you want... Like I said before, part of the current problem is attitudes like yours where you will have the nerve to sit back and complain about things but NOT get off their arse and try to help/learn!

As I said before only thing lacking is kernels and that's awaiting on source which will be out anyway now. We got JB after the SGS3 did so its natural to get source after them too...

Every HTC phone I've owned had an aluminum chassis that gave it a bit more heft. They have a very solid and reliable feeling to them. My phones have survived being dropped from all sorts of heights and all types of conditions. My father once dropped his HTC Touch Pro in discarded motor oil and the phone still to this day powers on and works. He has yet to upgrade it because it's only his work phone and he claims it's the most reliable phone he has ever owned.
I've owned the gs3 before I bought this EVO and I have to say. Yes there is more development there, but overall its all the same ****, we have devs working hard for us just like they have devs working hard for them over at the gs3 forums. we have great roms over here for us EVO users. My only real issue is with custom roms (cm based) is my Google nav not working at all but personally its not a big deal, I'm fine with sense, I can get telenav to work there.
I do wish we had miui (which I believe someone is working on, could be mistaken).

Due simply to the One? No. MeanBean has been dead for a while. Viper appears to have been complete since February. CM10.1 is still in the works. Stock is still being worked on. I'm sure the Sense 5 Port and others aren't just being set aside to never be touched again. I could be wrong about that though.

Could be wrong but have to agree, sense 5 may take a little while longer to get rolling, but there other roms that just dropped. Im a big supporter of utkaar99's work here. If you like sense try his HatkaLTE or his Rage ROM. If you like AOSP ,take a look at jaimeg's threads. Still some stuff happening here just a little slow right now. As far as the One, its true we're loosing some folks to that forum, but thats how it works here at xda. I mysrlf was going to get a One or the samsung 4 but decided to hold, mainly just to see how long this forum will last. Hope its like the Heroc was, even in low activity it still pushed on. Same with the Evo4G, still hangin in there 3D is the same, still going strong. We may pick up some of theirs in the future hopefully. Just gotta hang tough.
*Information IS the most dangerous weapon of all*
It isn't like the days of the original evo. I always had a new Rom to play with and so I wait patiently 4 the next big rom release. I refuse to use a Rom that doesn't have full functionalities. I need my phone to just work so I am staying on mean bean until something worthy replaces it. I do love viper Rom as well.

I know viper is working on something that will allow mods and roms for the one on other carriers to work on the Sprint variant and vice versa. One development is about to explode. That said we still have some quality roms here in lte land. If you have the time, you can learn to develop and theme.

Good post man.... I would hate to see all development stop for this phone but it won't, it will slow down though.. I think everyone was so used to getting different roms and constant updates to feed the addiction... What they have done is awesome and the part about the roms being complete is true, I can't think of much that can be done with viper, been using it for a while and it's bad ass.. Just debating the One, not sure if I want to jump ship yet, it's fast and smooth, but it's not much better than this in my opinion.

My husband just got the One (his upgrade from the EVO4G). The only features it has that I wish my 4GLTE had are the dual front speakers (the sound is beautiful!), the IR blaster (maybe not super useful, but can be used for triggering our DSLR), and the international SIM card slot.
The aluminum skin is also beautiful, but it's not going to tempt me to upgrade. It also doesn't have an SD slot, so it wouldn't hold all my MP3s.
I hope development doesn't die on this device. I plan on keeping it for quite a while longer.

I'd like to keep it for the 2 years like the ogevo. But I don't know if it will make it.

I keep wondering the same thing. Got another year to go before my upgrade, and definitely can't afford the one straight up. Was hoping when our sense5 update drops sometime this summer (hopefully) that the current favs like mean, viper, and superjelly would be brought up to date with it, but it doesn't seem that'll happen since those devs have moved on to the one or left HTC all together. Not saying new stuff won't drop then, but for now anything sense will be slow.

Actually, it DOES seem like that WILL happen. As I've said earlier that some of the progress on those ROM's have been completed. There's simply no more to do with them which is why there is no update. Just like the OTA from HTC even though they could be doing more.
I think in this new world of quickly progressing smartphones there are a couple of options for xda'ers. One, upgrade yearly to stay with the new device that gets all the attention.
The second option is the progression that this site fosters. Users learn and build their abilities to create by themselves. Many of the past leaders of EvoLTE have left a legacy of development here that can be built upon. Fortunately, the vast majority of the devs around here will gladly allow another person to take over the reigns and continue a build- or even make it thier own creation.
The site was named xdadevelopers. The purpose for the site is to allow users to learn to be developers. All the tools are here.

Something else to consider is that Android 5 (Key Lime) is on the horizon and may be announced at Google I/O in a couple of weeks. A major OS rev often stokes new inspiration for devs and hopefully we'll see ports of Key Lime ROMS to the EVO LTE (e.g. CM, Key Lime based Sense, etc.).
It ain't dead.
Just have to know where to look is all.. not all ROMs get posted on XDA
I'd much rather have more kernel development than rom personally. I'm learning more and more each day the true capability of the hardware and which software elements dampen it's potential. We have a huge hd screen and dual core I could really care less about the One and sense 5. Like someone else said it can't do much more than viper. I'm testing the AOSP waters for now and loving Slim Bean currently.

Just look in the development threads. There are still a lot of really great roms still being worked on.
Yes a few have left but many still have this phone and many more will probably pick it up second hand or now that it's becoming really cheap on sprint.
For ask those worried why don't you go and read a few how-tos and start doing your own thing.
I really hate these threads. They always happen and never produce something good. Just lame really.
