will this software upgrade eventually make its way to the TB?
Im sure this has been covered before.
Don't hold your breath. Updates seemed to be few and far between. You will see a fully functioning ICS from one of the fine developers here long before an official release comes out OTA.
Sit back, relax and soon.. maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow.. but soon...
WE WILL HAVE ICS! MUHHH HAAH AHAHA
We could hope that ICS makes it to the Thunderbolt.

Well said.
I doubt we will ever see an OFFICIAL ICS build for the Thunderbolt. I just don't see HTC and Verizon spending the time on it with all the newer phones coming out.
I am confident we will get a full ICS ROM from our developers. There is already a booting port of it. No connectivity, but it boots!
Not offically
I'm sure we'll get a good working AOSP rom, CM9 is slated to fully supported the thunderbolt, as far as from HTC is concerned, it's seems very clear that the only announced supported devices from the big manufactuers, Samsung, HTC, Motorola are the dual core phones that were made recently, theirs no doubt in my mind the thunderbolt can handle ICS very well, but it'll probably get too laggy once they throw memory and resource intensive sense on top of it. I would bet money on the fact that the thunderbolt will never see official ICS
You'll notice that the Nexus S runs it fine, and other manufacturers like Sony Ericsion that have very light skins or none at all, can upgrade to ICS, they've vowed to do it for all Xperia devices launched this year at minimum.
I so wish they would drop the skins from Android devices. ICS don't need a skin, maybe older android versions needed skins to clean it up and make it user friendly but not any more.
Ok, please don't blast me, and I am not starting this thread to start a fight. I just really want some advice. I love the rezound, and I would like to get it over the Gnex as I don't like a lot of things about the Nex. However, I had the TB, and now the Bionic and I just don't want to be waiting on a never ending cycle to get to the lastest software(IE 4.0, 5.0 etc.) The reason I say this, is I know like with the TB it seems like the Devs have to build a whole new RIL in order to get the software to work with the hardware(at least in the GB and now the ICS update for the TB) and I don't want to have to wait for the same thing when JB comes out at the end of the year, but I also don't want to upgrade again in 6-9 months. I hope I have made my dilemma clear. I would like to know if you, as rezound owners, think this may happen, as I may just jump (regretfully) to the Gnex.
Also, Let me make this clear, I am in NO WAY degrading the Devs work here or else where, I am just impatient. And don't want to wait for many months for fully working roms that may or may not come. But there are a few main things I REALLY like on ICS, but the current build are just so buggy on my current devices that it's not worth using as a DD. Please don't think this is me fussing, or anything of the sort, it's just I'm looking for advice. Thanks.
The current ICS builds are pretty good. The devs did a great job with them.
As to your question about JB, only time will tell. I don't think that anyone has an answer to that.
I've had both BAMF's and Scott's ROMs on my Rezound, they are both very stable. The only thing HTC has said about the update regarding the Rezound is that it'll come later this year. It is not listed in the first batch of phones.
"According to HTC, we can expect to see the updates begin to roll out by the end of March for the original Sensation, Sensation 4G, Sensation XE, followed shortly there after by the Sensation XL. The following batch of devices will include the Rezound and Incredible S, but there is no time frame listed for that device other than, “later this year."

I don't mean as much for ics as it appears to be currently working well on the device. I'm not shy about flashing. I'm just worried that the next version jelly bean may miss the device and it will be left to the devs to get it up and running. But that's been even harder on them recently, Atleast with my experience with the tbolt, as they have to built the Ril from the ground up, or so I understand. So I don't want to be stuck on current software. I'm not saying it will happen, I just want advice on whether I should take the chance with the rezound. I do really like the device.
It was my understanding that Jelly Bean was more like a Honeycomb release...
The operating system's next version jelly bean will be optimized for tablets

Since Feb Google execs have been saying most likely this fall or late Q4. I'm sure this Fall though and even this summer their might be leaked 4.1 roms spotted on devices. Jellybean will be 4.1 not 5.0 as the Nexus 7 got it. It definitely will be more of a software/driver update and performance tweaks with few new features but probably not a whole new UI that 4.0 brought us. It makes sense considering that's how it was since back on 2.1/2.2/2.3 versions of Android And not much has been leaked or given in regards as to what features it will bring. Only thing I can think of is the integration of Google chrome as the default browser in 4.1 that's it lol
Sorry for my mistake, I thought it was android 5.0. Can't wait for the leaks. Thanks for the reply phantomg93

No problem androidboy123 and I could be wrong about it not being 5.0. Everyone on the websites changed it from 5.0 to 4.1 because of the Nexus 7. I guess we will have to wait and see what # version Jellybean will be when it starts rolling out on phones
Jelly beam
Probably we will not recive it with OTA, maybie will get a Rom without sense
Jellybean
I would say that how the EVO 3D got screwed over, we probably won't see Jellybean on our phones. It has been suggested that manufacturers should charge for major ROM updates and I would be willing to do so (provided the cost was reasonable). Hell, I would have paid for ICS to get it 6 months sooner.
Naturally, Apple would say how their updates are free and flaunt that in front of everyone. :\
*Sigh*
well... the 3vo might get 4.1 ... but chances are by the time jelly bean hits the market we still wont have the 4.0.3 from sprint... but if they follow their normal pattern, chances of seeing it are good more than likely as a End Of Life update sometime next year, but none the less, chances are probably a lot higher that the wonderfull devs that are still with us will port it fairly soon after they get a chance to play with it a little, or that vm will probably update there 3vo sooner, and we may end up with another questionable leak, but I can say with almost abosolute certinty that well get it in due time, untill then we will have the marithon wait that we did for ics. :good:

yay. my dream of all those threads being closed came true. lmao. I lost count of how many threads there were. But answer... It is very unlikely we'll get it through normal terms on our phones. I don't even know what the difference is to the new jelly bean anyway compared to 4.0. New phones will always get the new OS before a year old phone gets it. Simple as that. Most companies don't support their products after 6 months anyway. *which is really sad*
Anyway, Sure I hope we get the best since I still believe our phone is the best on the market. Having LTE phone isn't a buying factor. there won't be a LTE network for sprint for another year or so. But anyway, GO JELLY BEANS. btw for everyone. You're all my new favorite friends. You rock.
Jelly Bean will have Google Now. I want this.

I have the evo v, which thankfully they put ICS on..perhaps WE will get jellybean at some point or another. :good:
Jelly Bean?
if not officially Jelly Bean to have from those who strive and make us new beautiful life

Anyone think this new platform development kit will speed things up or is it more fluff to quiet the masses?

I'm really just hoping that Sprint EVO 3D owners get an official ICS OTA and that HTC gets around to releasing the source soon. I don't expect HTC to bring Jelly Bean to the EVO 3D, but if we get the new kernel source, we can just do it ourselves.

I think so, and I really hope so. The two factors that slow down updates for devices are custom tweaks (Sense, TouchWiz, etc.) and drivers (like for our 3D camera and autostereoscopic screen). If Google's moves can help speed up the process and minimize the work that needs to go into updates, such as 4.1 being on the same kernel (or at least one with very minor changes), hopefully that will encourage and enable manufacturers to bring the upgrades to more devices sooner. If the Android ecosystem can ever reach a point where new OS versions only take a couple of months at most to reach supported devices, it would be a dream come true.
JB Doesn't Support Flash
Don't get too excited about JB just yet as it Flash won't work on it (see link below).
http://mashable.com/2012/06/29/flash-in-android-4-1/
Maybe so devs can add the notifications update to ICS? I'd be happy with just that.

Eh, for me at least, I'm not too concerned about Flash. It's a dying breed as it is, with HTML 5 replacing it at a decent rate. I'd rather have the OS enhancements of Jelly Bean than Flash. But, that's just me, and I get the impression that you use Flash sites more often than I do.
I would expect some devs to port components of Jelly Bean to ICS, such as the notifications. It wouldn't have the Buttery goodness of JB, though.
Ahhh....

Ok, so I do see your point and you are correct, I am on my browser all the time and love the flash component. It was originally a major factor for me choosing Droid over iOS in the first place but certainly not a deal breaker by any means. I do know that HTML5 is the next big thing though. I'll take my buttery goodness in the form of ICS w/ JB notifications update please!...lol.

Yes it would be nice to get OS updates within a month rather than a year. Thankfully we have devs to tide us over until that becomes a possibility. LOL on the mobile porn insight

JB
Hey guys.
I consider being able to handle/see flash a requisite of seeing the real web but at the same time, I dislike it. Can't wait till it is dead.
I'm guessing we won't see any "official" JB so not to nag but what is a typical time course [predicted?] for when we may see unofficial JB roms for CDMA Evo 3D, if ever? I'm just wondering order of magnitude type thing: 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 2 year...?
Couldn't we just use dolphin or ics browser+ for flash sites? I think chrome is the only browser that is not supporting flash... (not positive though)
i know i know you guys will look at me and say things like "wtf you asking this for now!!"
The benchmarks post and test all roms page hasnt been updated since 12 days ago and before i say anythiong i tried all roms seriously no joke but havent tried the new updates for most ics roms since 3 weeks ago but im currently on gxg jelly bread and love the rom for playing games but still gingerbread is kinda boring and i see all mods and new stuff coming out is for ics
can any just tell me which is the best rom?
im thinking between superleggera, jellysandwhich, iced bean and flylight....
and again sorry for asking but i need just some advice

Install one by one and try out for 1-2 days.
This kind of question is strictly prohibited in XDA.
Not only do we frown upon this type of highly subjective question, but it also shouldn't be in Development.
