For Cdma, the release of the Evo lte has caused a lot of the devs to switch their focus. Also, the devs could be waiting for the official release of ICS on the 3d.

Few devs are updating regularly: mwakious, predator, coolexe
Others have moved on One X mostly. Dont expect big activity even when official ICS gets officialy out. By that time most of the devs will move on One X or on S3. Only few will remain here.

I don't think he will develop and help improve HTC devices which just so happen to be one of Samsung's competitors. I assume he would not want to risk his job by developing for HTC phones. Can't blame him for doing so either.

Someone will get CM on to the EVO 3D. He might be the main dog but there are other people on that team and I am sure they will continue to service HTC.

I agree and sorta disagree with you. For one CM helps out the whole android community aka all of Samsungs competitors that's just what they do. However I see that HTC is Samsungs biggest competitor and they may or may not lose some CM magic. In the future I believe that CM will continue what they are doing but Samsung will have the most support.

The Evo 3d is my first android phone aswell. I used to use the iPhone 3gs thinking it was the best thing in history until I played with my sister's CM7 Evo 4g. I instantly fell in love with CM and android in general you could do so much more, whenever and however you want it. But if CM doesn't come to the evo 3d I won't be tempted to sell it for a GS2 just to get my CM7 fix. But I still have my hopes up for CM on the Evo 3d.
Theres still going to be CM for phones now and in the future.

Agreed, I don't see CM getting shut down and I'm sure we'll still see CM7 and CM8 for the E3D. Congrats to Steve, this is awesome for him.
TBH, I am more intrigued about Google's acquisition of Motorola, what does that mean for Sammy and HTC?
Got much more respect for Koush but I can't hate on him for joining with Sammy. Android's a fun hobby but it doesn't pay the bills.
But I do wish everyone whining about not having AOSP ROMs would do us all a favor and just get rid of their Evos. No one here cares and no one wants to hear you throw a temper tantrum.

Here's another problem. Complaints about Sense. If someone doesn't like Sense, why buy a phone that has it out of the box, and can't be removed without waiting for a developer to do it for you?
I'm a huge fan of Sense, and I look forward to getting 3.5, or 4.0, depending on what HTC brings to the table with the release of ICS.

had a sgs2 for about 2 weeks... hated it. and from that experience i have decided i will never buy another samsung product again.
they will have an official ICS release from sammy in about 13 months. because that's how long it takes samsung to get off their ass with any kind of support. look at the epic and the gingerbread update. 6 months behind the evo 4G
HTC > samsung
I wouldn't mind a galaxy nexus. But I know I would get tired over it.. after a while. Then what will I flash? A gb colored ics?
With the evo 3d I can put sense on for a while..... but I'm keeping pics for a long time... live it
The sgs2s aren't bad but I hate that they made them 4.3 and kept the same resolution and aspect ratio... I hate how pixelated and how wide it looks. Do like the samoled especially the blacks. But its a hate love relationship because colors look good but they aren't correct. Compare the gray or stainless steel color the speed test app has on an sgs2 and the evo 3d... you'll see the colors, sharpness and aspect ratio..

No NEON. IMO, that is a fail toward Nvidia since they are supposed to be "revolutionary" and all. The atrix didnt have support for a lot of apps for a long time and became annoying as hell. it needed so much optimization as well since Nvidia didnt do much at all lol. The only good thing about it was the games, which our snapdragons are just as good.. Maybe it got better with drivers, im talking quite a few months back. whenever i got my sensation from the atix i was so happy. (i had CM 7 on the atrix no motocrap) so cant blame it on bloat lol. the g2x was a fail because its plauged with so many issues. makes our screen bleed look perfect. people who complain about it should go to that phone xD

Claims that they (HTC, T-Mobile, anyone) don't want to "disrupt" our user experience with 3.0 on the Amaze are BS, IMHO. Problems with Sense 3.0 do NOT need to be continued ... and the enhancements due with Sense 4.0 are, I think, owed us. I bought this phone specifically because an ICS update in 2012 had already been promised.
I want landscape home screens. I want Car Mode restored. I want a better Dock Mode.
If ICS arrives with same ol' Sense overlay, and the problems I've had with three handsets not fixed, I may not even update.

Samsung also donated some devices to the CM team a while back, and generally release source faster than HTC.
don't they also have a bigger market share?

Pretty sure Sammy is the biggest smart phone manufacturer in the world.
Honestly, the next phone I get, HTC and Sammy are battling for my money. I said after my Epic that I would never buy another Sammy phone, so I skipped the SII in favor Photon because I felt the 3D was useless. Now that I've played with the SIII and the EVO LTE I am fairly equally impressed by both devices.
It's going to come down to support and device build, who releases source the fastest and who updates the devices the best and which one builds the best feeling device.
Assuming there is an S4 and Sammy doesn't blow it, I could very well see my self getting it.

Source for the Epic 4G Touch was also released shortly before it got its ICS update. Samsung definitely knows how to please the community.

I think he just meant we should have known we weren't getting RC2 since we haven't obtained official support yet.

Samsung does update quick. Ignoring the wider user base of GSM carriers, CDMA carriers such as VZW and Sprint always tend to lag behind updates. Due to CDMA restrictions that can't be open-sourced, Samsung doesn't control the entire software update and adds to the delay. Take a look at devices that were released with Gingerbread and see how many of those have ICS. Chances are they're almost all GSM devices.The HTC Rezound on Verizon came out later than the Epic 4G Touch and has yet to see ICS. The Evo 3D and Design 4G won't see ICS till next month. Besides, the Epic 4G Touch was receiving ICS leaks since early this year.

No one said that. But we DON'T as of now so of course we didn't get the update.
