does anyone know if 4.2 will ever be on the DNA Officialy?
I am assuming they are waiting for 4.3 and then they will just upgrade us to that.
The HTC Butterfly is getting 4.2.2 with Sense 5.1, so the DNA likely will as well.
I honestly doubt the DNA will ever get official 4.3 but you can bet your ass it will get unofficial CM10.2 or whatever they will call it. My bet is on official 4.2 seeing as the butterfly 4.2 leaked.

I disagree...I think HTC will be forced to update the DNA to 4.3 because Samsung has already promised 4.3 and 5.0 for the GS3 & GS4 and HTC cannot afford to lose anymore of the market share due to not updating their flagship (or older flagship in this case) phones. Hell, the Rezound just received a pretty major update last month, so I have faith we will see 4.3, but I doubt we'll ever see Key Lime.
As for dates as to when we will see 4.2 officially, all the credible rumors I've herd put it in the June/July range; which means maybe this year if Verizon is true to form.
Well at this point we don't even know if key lime pie exists. Kinda hard to know updates when they aren't even officially announces yet.

Right. Im sure HTC's marketing team will get better in a matter of months. The DNA is no longer being marketed and Verizon will not want to update it. I guarantee you that the DNA will not get official updates after 4.2 (unless the next device is similar to the DNA but I doubt it. Either way, we have almost fully working unofficial 4.2(CM base) and many derivatives(PAC, Revolt etc). I don't really care if we get official 4.x because it can just be done unofficially (because sense is ugly and stupid).
Personally I love me some sense, its why I buy HTC devices, I will use a Nexus for aosp. I think we will get 4.3 although I'm not saying it will be official. I feel confident we will get a 4.2 update, but its too early to make the call on 4.3. Heck HTC updated the thunderbolt to ice cream sandwich and it was an antique by then so I don't think I can say either way what they will do until we know more about 4.3 and sense.

I am going to be unusually optimistic and say it will get 4.3 at least. I mean look at the fact that the Original Droid Incredible, though small, got an approved update from HTC/Verizon. Say what you want but this shows that there is some pretty good hope we will see 4.3 and maybe 5.0. Our phone isn't even a year old yet and the original DINC got an update in the past several months....Tells me to be hopeful.

HTC tends to update Sense when it updates the Android version.
For example, I'm quite sure that the Evo Shift went from Sense 1 to Sense 2.1 when it got updated to Gingerbread, and the Evo 3D got updated from Sense 3.0 to Sense 3.6 when it updated to ICS.
It'll probably be much the same as Sense 4.0/4.1 but it'll have more JB features.
Since this is a jb thread I think sprint is doing a better job w updates. Reason I'm lead to believe this is I just got the update for jb on my gn meanwhile the vzw doesn't have anything official. So as long as sprint does a good job with approving it i think we will see jb by November as long as htc doesn't drag ass. It took 29 days from the one x getting updated to 4.0.4 to us getting it which is a rather quick turn around Imo.

This ARTICLE has a nice little tidbit of information in it:
Sprint has finally started rolling out Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S 4G. The update starts this evening and will be available to all handsets over the next few weeks.
For those new readers that don’t quite remember the Galaxy Nexus, the device features a 4.65-inch 720p display, a 5-megapixel camera, and Android 4.0 ICS. The Nexus S, on the other hand, is Google's 2010 Android flagship and also runs Android 4.0.
The upgrade, which is standard over-the-air, includes a great deal of improvements with Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. These include enhancements to the keyboard, a buttery-smooth UI, and more advanced notifications. The update also includes Google Now, Google's answer to Siri.
Sprint also says that it plans to upgrade various other devices to Jelly Bean. including the HTC EVO 4G LTE and Samsung Galaxy S3. We should be hearing more about those updates soon.
Per usual, there will be manual update options available if you don't feel like waiting for the OTA, and you can find the download link and instructions on Know Your Cell as soon as it's posted.
If you're not one for manual updates, Sprint usually rolls these out in phases, so you shouldn't have to way too long. They usualy arrive within a few weeks.
Are you excited about Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean on your Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S 4G?

I don't care if HBoot 1.15 isn't cracked before it's released, I'll still take that update.
So I attempted to port a sense 4.5 ROM based on 4.0.4, not 4.1.1 and it's stuck at the bootanimation and I cant get logcat going to fix anything
Really want to see the changes from 4.1 to 4.5.
For those wondering about the jump from 4.1 to 4.5 this is standard programming practice. This shows there were 4 minor revisions between the two. Those can be anything from adding or removing base apps to fixes or features added in. It is up to the developer to make decisions of what makes for a major upgrade.

I agree. I am not concerned with minor changes to Sense. In some cases you won't want to update anyway because of compatibility with kernel or other reasons.

I'm not holding my breath for Verizon to release JB for this phone, wouldn't be surprised one bit if we didn't get it. I'm with prairiedogn though with hoping this community gets some kind of growth here in the future.
The original Incredible got 4 updates in all, and got its most recent update this past summer, over 2 years after its debut, but the update broke most peoples' phones, and it has been speculated that it was intentional.
All the major manufacturers claim they support a phone for 18 months after its debut, so hopefully at least one big update is coming our way. I expect we'll at least get 4.1.2, but that might be the end of it. If not even that, I'll be pretty disappointed.
Maybe we'll get to skip Jelly Bean and go straight to Key Lime Pie. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

Not necessarily true. Many things can be done with out kernel source as long as the knowledge (as in people with the knowledge and the device) to do it is available. That is usually the big hurdle though.

More than likely is just a canned response. However, since our phone has only been out for 7 months, I expect we will see at least one official iteration of Jellybean. I doubt we will see Key Lime Pie.
But you never know, since the original Incredible just got a bug fix update after almost 3 years since being released. We could go more...

I'm sure it definitely will (of course a few months after the One is released on Sprint though) so it will be a while, I just hope this won't turn into the endless leaks like the 4.1.1 update turned out to be (where we kept getting promised a leaked date, but ended up being delayed)

I don't think will ever get any leaks of firmware or any kind of leaked release dates. We can't even get the current firmware exe

I'm pretty sure it will EVENTUALLY happen. However, not anytime soon, as per HTC's notorious reputation. But I DO know, however, that Sinister and several other reputed developers are working on a Sense 5 port for our phones. There's a thread in Original Android Development. I'm pretty sure they'll get it worked out before HTC gives us anything.
Twitter user Llab TooFeR (@LlabTooFeR) got tech fans speculating on the prospects for HTC devices after tweeting: "2012 devices won't get it...only butterfly/droid dna might 4.4..."
According to Llab TooFer, that means HTC One X, HTC One X+ and HTC One S won't be able to get the Android 4.4 KitKat update.
HTC hasn't given any official word about it ,JB required high amt of ram to run, google says that 4.4 is built in such a way that it can be feeded into phones which have low ram. What do you think about this?

Nobody knows how they act and what they will release... Look at Kernel Stuff e.g.
If they won´t release newer sources for kitkat and next sense, they will hopefully give devs the necessary driver for AOSP ROMS !
4.2 has started rolling out for HOX/HOX+ , Samsung is skipping 4.2 update for s3 and note 2 and these devices will directly receive 4.3 update, Might be the same case with hox devices? As 4.2 has rolled out, they might skip 4.3 and directly launch 4.4 as it has low ram requirements too.
What you guys say?

4.4? You have to be freaking joking. Half of us (including everybody in CID 044 Southeast Asia) still don't even have 4.2.2, close to seven weeks after it first started rolling out.
There is zero chance HTC will give any of us 4.4. And it has nothing with inability to run it; it's because they couldn't give a flying hoot, even about their supposed flagship devices.
If you buy from HTC, you're a sucker. I won't be doing so again.

Honestly, I believe that 4.4 will be the end of the road for us. I believe that they will give out 4.4 by the summer of 2014 and skip 4.3 entirely.
However as for Hox and Hox+ sense 5 and 4.2.2 , it's been released for a month now and if you hadnt received it you should quite soon, so don't give up.
The reason for my speculation. Is that HTC announced that they will try to satisfy their old customers and roll out updates for older devices. And the one x+ isn't that old yet.

In a couple of days, it will have been seven weeks since 4.2.2 first came out for some CIDs. That's nearly two months, not a month.
You know you are not getting 4.4 when it comes from Lloir. But maybe someone can make Rom carrying sense 6 with 4.4? Come on guys lets not give up. X+ is a beast phone, and it's worth developing.
I am still learning programming (java) and so forth and so on but once I could I will work on the development of this phone.
As for the previous post for my CID I got the update around the 22nd of august which is a month, but it wasnt meant to be accurate. Well if we aren't getting 4.4 I think we will get 4.3 atleast ?

Tegra is not only the CPU, its the chip set in the device, also nvidia need to update the kernel or provide HTC the drivers to get a newer android to work on the device. Which they won't support as I said tegra4 is released so little point to them to support it
Sent from my One X+ using Tapatalk 4
But then again, the 2012 Nexus 7 is a Tegra 3 device and I doubt Google won't push and insist for 4.4 on it.
So I guess Nvidia will support Tegra 3, and it would be up to HTC to decide whether to update the HOX(+) or not.
