Official ICS previews coming to the Sensation - HTC Rezound

http://www.slashgear.com/htc-promis...dates-early-access-preview-tomorrow-15213635/
Hope these can be of some use to our devs! And I hope they do the same for the Rezound..

Nice. Hopefully the Rezound is next in line.

No kidding ! Is it the GSM part of the sensation that makes it hard to port roms from it ? Otherwise Hardware aren't they the same as the Rezound ?

The fact that we have a working leak makes the porting much more possible.

Hopefully, they do a better job on htc skins and make it open source. That's what users want. Then again, maybe I'm just being bias. Lol

It'll leak and it'll get ported and used for us I'm sure.

I think the 720p screen has something to do with it too

The endeavor leak can probably help with the images. The endeavor is 720p and also leaked Sense 4.0 so to speed up the process, images from that might be able to be put in the sensation leak.

ICS with Sense. Expectations

What does everyone expect to see that is new in sense when the ics ota releases? After seeing the sensation leak do you all think sense will get much of a Makeover?

I've heard we'll be getting Sense 4.0 with the official ICS OTA. I would assume they'll incorporate some stuff to make it more ice cream sandwichy
I am hoping that. After seeing the sensation leak it made me worry a bit. I kind of like big Makeovers.

Yeah, the Sensation leak was, well, kind of ugly. I think Sense looks better than AOSP. I just like the way that AOSP functions in general. It would be nice if we could get the ICS functionality with the look of Sense, plus some more little goodies.

I just read somewhere else that it appears they're working on ICS for 3.5. That would be horribly disappointing. New devices they've announced (the quad core ones, for example) seem to be the ones that will be getting Sense 4.0 with ICS. I just hope they realize we want 4.0, as well and give it to us on the OTA.
This link was where I read it. Seems fairly up-to-date.

Hence the fragmentation of Sense... I guarantee we'll be getting a 3.5 version of ICS. They did the same thing with the EVO which never got out of Sense 1.0. That's why we root right?? I'm still stock but I'll pop her cherry when the right rom comes.

Agreed. I'm not terribly worried since I'll get a new phone before the OTA comes (if the HTC quad-core phones are out), or we'll already have some ICS with a rom. You should check out Chingy and Newt's rom, btw. This thing is awesome
I'm back to the Rez from the Nex. Soo glad! I hope to see the app grouping which from the leak appears to be there.
Also the voice to text and auto correction from ICS ****ing rules! I love the stock Sense keyboard. The ICS Android keyboard and I have spacebar issues!
How bout a redesigned weather widget?? HTC set the mark for the weather widget. Time to bring it back home!

Seeing as it's the first build, there are some minor issues and things that just won't work yet. That being said, I've never seen a more polished and sexy rom in a first build ever. I've seen some v4+ that aren't as nice as this thing is. If you get flash happy, give it a go since you won't be disappointed. If you can wait a little bit, let them get the bugs out. Something beyond amazing would have to pull me away from this rom.

Sense 4.0 ROM leaked, Let the ports begin!

More the better! It also seems like the Sensation guys are having a crack at it, but that may take a bit more time since their device doesn't have the HD res.
Nice. I saw the post about having to resize cuz of the 720p display and I couldn't help but think somebody would be porting this over. Thanks for the heads up!

Don't expect stuff too soon. As I and others are looking through it it is alot different.
Yeah I from what I hear from the Sensation guys the fact this is nvidia Tegra 3 vs qualcomm we are can make it a bit harder to work on(even harder for the sensation guys as they have to downsize things too).
Yeah newt will have 6 of these roms up by weeks end
Well from what Joel has seen it maybe harder than anticipated because of the nvidia cpu on the Endeavor. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22438151&postcount=297
I was disappointed in seeing that it was for a tegra device... but I am hoping that it will not be too difficult. But it seems it will be too difficult to worry with. Maybe pulling the apks for sense 4.0 apps and using them in the existing android 4.0.3 ROMs will work though.
According to Joel in his ROM thread, this won't be done. The Endeavor and the Rezound are too different.

Sense 4.0 RUU Leaked [from endeavor]

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492567
So thanks to forum member capychimp the RUU for the HTC Endeavor has been leaked and soon after the system was dumped.
hopefully we will see a qualcomm based port of this rom sometime soon (as it is currently tegra based and will not function on our devices)
any thoughts?

I really wish i knew how to port stuff it would be nice................
whoever can port this is a helluva dev. different porcessor, hd res, etc. they have their work cut out for them
really disappointed that its gonna be with Nvidia, there are good dont get me wrong, but the lack of dev support they have its not good, had experience with the g2x, and only wrong thing was the nvidia wont release its drivers at all
There's been a Sense ICS ROM for the Sensation for ages, running on a qualcomm CPU. Why hasn't that been ported over?

I would run Sense 3.6 ICS on my device, as I'm sure 99% of the Amaze owners clamoring for ICS would. Have you seen developers post that they could do it but choose to wait? Link plz so I can go badger them (J/K I have ICS on the wife's Sensation and there is really no difference. Sense is Sense is Sense...3, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, all the same 99%)

different style launchers, more features, beats audio integrated, more fluid, some better eye-candy, bliss launcher, new Sense 4.0 is COMPLETELY re-done (app drawer, animations, dual core support "when stable", etc).. im pretty sure 99% is a little off dont you think
Just because they look the some doesnt mean there isn't a difference lol
i'm happy with my amaze and i'm pretty okay about waiting
i am still really looking forward to it
either the aosp build or this

exactly, i would rather have a complete upgrade that was stable and wait a while for it then have a fast update that was buggy out of hell.. If any of you guys had the Atrix you would understand my statement. They released the gingerbread update for it and it made the phone worse because it wasn't greatly optimized, people were nagging on them about releasing it so i guess they got tired of it lol

Rezound most likely to get JB

http://www.htc.com/www/help/android41faq/ Looks like we're hopefully getting JB after all
then consider our ability to provide updates to products from 2011.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You reading the same thing I am, or are you projecting?
Not necessarily.... we meet the spec requirements, but they said that devices from 2011 would be met with consideration. Not exactly a guarantee. Plus, if we got sense 3.6 in the last update because our phone "couldn't handle" sense 4, why would they then update us to sense 4+? Okay, I'm ending my pessimistic post of the day now.

I hope that we do get JB, but considering the Thunderbolt is still waiting for ICS, I can't say that I am too optimistic.
But HTC phones will sometimes get two upgrades. The incredible did.
It's really up to Verizon to let it through, I would think. So it's more of a maybe, but I'm not so optimistic that it will happen. Hopefully the Rezound will get JB, though. I'd love me some stock Sense 4 for a change.
Not to be a pessimist, but I feel that there is pretty much 0 chance we'll get an official jb update. There weren't enough rezounds sold for HTC to care, and vzw makes it even harder on them. They aren't going to go through the effort. All the focus is on s4 devices . I'm crossing my fingers that any msm8660 device gets a JB update from HTC so we can pull from it.

Why would HTC spend the money, time, and resources to create a JB ROM that runs Sense 3.6? They never promised more than ICS for the Rez as a selling point, so they owe us nothing.
They wouldn't give us a Sense 4 update because they have already stated in print that the Rezound doesn't have the hardware to run it. But that's only half true.
Of course, many of us are running some variation of Sense 4 now on our Rezounds. So while it is technically possible, some concessions had to be made. The Rezound can't do continuous camera shooting very well. Also, still image capture while shooting video is not possible. These features were a huge part of what made Sense 4 so great to HTC (conjecture on my part, but an educated guess based on the advertising), so their official stance on Sense 4 on the Rezound does make sense.
HTC releasing a 3.6 Jelly Bean Rom seems highly unlikely.
Hey the tb was updated to 3.6 in the leak from what like 2.1? But anyway we've technically already got 2 updates, 3 if you count the global leak...

Yeah I know. Sorry if I came off as hateful or anything. I guess I was just curious as to how anyone who read that statement would interpret it to mean that they were most likely gonna update the Rez to JB.
I got the opposite impression. Guess it's just a glass half-full/empty thing. :beer:
If they did upgrade us to a JB (not Justin Bieber) then I'd be beyond excited and looking forward to what awesome surprises our glorious devs here would be able to come up with.

It was released at the end of December, but I think HTC has used some encryption on their recent RUU's to make them harder to port.

Probably not. The only thing we can do now is maximize the current technology available to us and hope for the best.

I think the developers will come up with at least one 4.1.1/Sense 4+ ROM for the Evo 3D if for no other reason than to prove that they can. The more obstacles HTC puts in the way the more of a challenge it becomes.
It just might take a little longer than ports done in the past. Tools like the one you linked will help.
