Whenever you post something like this, you are supposed to post a link to the information or else it will be considered as not true or some rumor (with no real evidence).
really ? i can not wait for some working port to try.
Is someone know when will htc update the android on the Jetstream?
Almost march and samsung skyrocket, htc vivid will get the new ics from at&t. Jetstream also?
Please share some info if you have.
Thanks

Tried contacting both HTC and ATT for this detail.
HTC no comment. ATT no idea.
I guess HTC is concentrating on getting ICS to its phones 1st. Their support system is as usual quite slow-e.g. the Flyer got Honeycomb very recently when ICS has already been released.
So I guess it will be just a wait for us to know or listen for the good news about our jetstream getting ICS.
From what I've read, HTC is just starting to make statements on what devices will get ICS update and when. Only seen announcements about smartphones.
"HTC wrote a note on its official Facebook page to announce that Ice Cream Sandwich would be available for the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XE in March 2012, with the Sensation XL getting its ICS "soon there after."
A gaggle of other HTC smartphones were name-checked by HTC in the post as well: Android 4.0 for [Deep breath] the HTC Rezound, HTC Vivid, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD "will be coming later this year."
HTC had previously said (in November 2011) that the HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G* and HTC Amaze 4G would be available in early 2012. From HTC's updated schedule, it appears the company will miss that deadline."
Taken from article.

So it looks like it might be a while for HTC to even consider Jetstream ICS update. I would be bold to say between end of Q2 and beginning of Q3.
i wouldnt count on HTC with it...
rumor has it that google will anounce android 5.0 around june, by the time HTC will bring us ICS (if at all), it would be considered old.
task650 said he's trying to implement ICS on the jetstream but he's not active on this forum for a while now...
I dissapointed with this. I have europian version of Sensation and an AT&T Jetstream.
Great android devices but I should buy Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and Tab 10.1 LTE to get ICS sooner?? Samsung support is more frequent?
I asked HTC support yesterday about this or even an update to 3.2, support person had no idea.
Dissapointed to hear that. i hope there will be an update.
Saw some posts on the Flyer section about ICS update coming for them in 2 months. Their source seems to be a French version of HTC Hub. It may mean good news for us as well. Here is to hoping that it happens sooner than predicted..

I am no dev, so I do not know, but -say- for windows it is possible to install the same OS on all sorts of systems with different hardware config's. How different is uncustomized Android? I mean if a plain release of ICS for tablets were to find its way to users, would it be possible to flash it to different tablets or would it have to be custom tailoured to each tablet before it can be flashed?
in my opinion, JetStream will have ICS for sure, but I guess It could be Q4 or later
google the info about the update of HTC Flyer, those people waited and waited for more than half year to get their honeycomb update
and I highly doubt CM9 on JetStream since We have not get S-OFF yet, and the Pen wont work on CM9
i think ICS comes with a native pen abilities, so technically if CM9 would find its way to the jetstream it might work.

Having an official ICS or custom-spinoff ROM would be awesome enough to satisfy me at this point for some time. I agree in believing it will eventually come out, even though HTC isn't announcing it with all the other ICS updates. Also, glad there's mention of CM9 here, as I always end up settling on CM once they weed out all the bugs. It's nice not having your Google written OS passed through profit-fueled manufacturer's and carrier's hands only to strip out and tweak lots of it later. It's like every tweak CM does is in the name of being cool, and I love it.
Though, that being said, the pen feature is legit. It's a feature to tablets that I see only becoming more relevant in the future. I would not be surprised if pen support came to CM9 or some future CM variant eventually. They brought the status-bar brightness control slider feature to CM7 when I had to go for so long without it on nightlies for my Samsung Captivate. I know the comparison is possibly thin on implementation... but pens for tablets? It's a no-brainer to at least attempt very strongly to get working. I believe someone on their team will attempt it and probably succeed.
Now about a CM9-HTC Jetstream specific variant? That's another story entirely. My guess is yes on that as well, esp once the value plummets and everyone can get them cheap... just will have to be super patient.
i was just checking out CM and AOKP sites..it appears the projects have made it to alot of devices so far..the fact that the system is for both phones and tablets is an advantage.
how can we get them to work on the JS?

As far as my understanding goes: CM has a team dedicated to it's base AOSP build (device unspecific). It's then either some of the same people or (more likely) entirely new people/teams to work on supporting a specific device. For instance, CM7 for SGS-Captivate was developed by entirely different people than CM7 for DroidX.
That said, we'll probably need some dedicated dev(s) to form a team and start building off the open-source base to get KANG's out to the public. Or the more official route: communicate with CM and set up a repository "Jetstream" branch on their system to commit-to and automatically build nightlies off of for the public. I've seen the process twice now start out as very unstable KANG's, turn to official nightlies, then RC's and Stable builds, then roll-off back into KANG's as people continue to tweak, mod, and merge with the AOSP base as it's updated.
I got an email reply from HTC and they said the last update was released 02/29/2012. They claim that they work hard to get their updates ready and offer them to AT&T and it OS AT&T that decides if or not to accept them. AT&T would obviously not bother replying to me as I am not on their network. Perhaps someone still with AT&T could try.

Did anyone try contacting AT&T regarding any news on updates?

I hope AT&T or HTC roll out a new update for this tablet cous 3.1 not support natively Qualcomm dual core processors and chipset. I got recently the new Vodafone Smart Tab 7 (ZTE) with honeycomb 3.2 and this tablet is the same hardware like HTC sensation. 1.2ghz dualcore, 1GB ram, 16 or 32GB storage. Work perfectly and run extremely fast with 3.2
I hope in the near future, there will be 3.2 or 4.0 ICS update will available for the Jetstream as well for my ZTE tablet. I love my Jetstream but my ZTE runs perfectly too.
I'm waiting for Jetstream OS update and S-OFF. With this two option, this HTC tablet will be an awesome device with powerhouse hardware.

I guess we all are.
Globatron asked for some screenshots of the back of the Jetstream in the sim card and micro SD card area in the thread of S-OFF asked by me. I have provided the same but have not heard any update or anything. He has been bringing s-off to some htc phones like sensation including xe and others.
Sent from my HTC PG09410 using XDA
So nothing will happen about s-off or os system update??
Jeatstream dead??
What about users whos bought this tablet?
For the moment it looks like it. I log in everyday to see if anything is happening but in vain. Neither a developer nor got any basic knowledge bout developing so can't really do much myself either. I guess we will just have to wait and watch where we land up.

Well,
its NOT coming
now its offical: google will confirm the 4.3 version of android next wednesday on its conference.
developers, are you ready?

Live keynote here:
http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/15/live-from-google-i-os-2013-opening-keynote/
Edit:
the only news are a bunch of new api's
some application updates and enhancments.
nothing major.
to conclude: dissapointement.
what do you think about this years I/O conference?
source
the update is expected to support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and the OpenGL for Embedded Systems 3.0 graphics specification. BLE would help conserve battery life on mobile devices that connect to peripherals like smartwatches and speakers.

This maybe premature but do any of our beloved developers think we'll see a port or carryover of CM of Android 5.0 after its release? Obviously it's gonna take some time.
Release date of November 3, 2014

I would hope not to soon because Mr. Flyhalf has done such a wonderful job on the one max like fm radio and wifi I would think a lot of stuff would break under 5.0 Google has done masive changes in 5.0 :laugh:
UPDATE ON 20/4
Watches will receive Android Wear 2.0 end of April/late May
Moto 360 Gen 2
Moto 360 Sport
Source: https://support.google.com/androidwear/forum/AAAAI6hwIZU5v_b7oHHsy0/?hl=en
UPDATE ON 15/4:
Android Wear's Twitter : Android Wear 2.0 OTA will be arriving to your Moto 360 Gen 2 soon.
There's a confirm that our watch can upgrade to Android Wear 2.0
And there's a release date of AW 2.0 (9 FEB 2017)
Is that means the 2.0 updates will release on 9 FEB?
I don't think so.... I think the OEM's (Like Motorola) need some time to personalize the new Android Wear...
I just downloaded what it says is 2.0 to my phone, and it looks pretty much the same to me. I don't get it!? Was expecting something new. It definitely says Version 2.0, updated 1/25/17. Am I missing something?

Android Wear on your phone may be 2.0, it is on mine, but that's not the software on your watch. It may contain the code needed to run the newer Wear when your watch gets it but that's what is important and isn't released yet. Won't be for a while most likely. I'm sure the new watches being announced next week will get it first and then it's up to Motorola to release it to our model which could be days, weeks, or months after.
If you go on your watch into Settings --> About --> Versions what do you get?

I thought part of the licencing for Wear prevented the OEM's from customisation. Other than bootsplash and pre-installed apps.
We should get it pretty quickly due to this.

Android Wear 2.0 is the firmware not the app
It's easy to confuse between the Android Wear app and the device firmware

Thanks! Version 1.5.0 on watch. So is this considered the firmware? Because 2.0 in the AW app is pretty much same as usual. Like everyone, I've been anxiously waiting for the big update. False alarm I guess.

Motorola should already be working on Android Wear 2.0 for the Moto 360 2nd Gen since the final preview was released last month.
9 Feb is coming, it's time to count down
still we have different time zone haha
why can't we make a rom from the moto 360 v2 and make it able to flash to the moto 1st gen?

Because that isn't how it works.
The two watches have entirely different chipsets. The OG 360 has an outdated TI OMAP processor, while the 2015 360 has an SD4xx variant. Not just that, but, the 2015 360 has no POGO pins to connect to, meaning dumping the firmware from the watch, and like I said, even if you did it via BT/extracting OTA files, you'd have no way to flash it to the OG 360 without a custom cable, and even then, it wouldn't work because of the architecture change.

It's possible to make a custom rom
The problem is moto 360 doesn't have a usb port

As far as I know, it's completely impossible. Moto 360 1st gen runs on different processor and architecture while Moto 2nd gen has a Qualcomm.
Anyone had any luck yet?
do we know if there are a lot of new features expected with this update?
edit:
nice roundup of the updates. now i'm really looking forward to it.
https://www.wareable.com/android-wear/android-wear-update-everything-you-need-to-know-2735
I'm waiting on it also, I was actually a bit mad that it wasn't an 'all in one' release where all the watches received the update simultaneously
I asked Motorola Germany on Twitter. And they said they don't have a release date but they are working on the OTA.

Cool, hopefully Motorola America is working on it too
I think they will launch it Worlwide at the same time. I think there are no regional differences?!
From Wearable.com:
We have it on good authority that the rollout will actually begin on 15 February and, while Google has tested Wear 2.0 on all the devices listed below internally, it's up to the manufacturers themselves to sign-off on the revamped OS and get it out the door.

So it seems unlikely that we'll see anything before next week at the soonest. My guess would be the individualization for each watch/company would be a lot smaller than android phones so I'd hope that it would take a lot short time to get it approved, but we'll see.
