HTC Legend getting the official 2.2 update from HTC - Hero CDMA General

http://www.bgr.com/2010/11/05/htc-legend-getting-android-2-2-in-coming-weeks/
I wonder if this can be leveraged for an even better (with official drivers and all) version of 2.2 for the Hero? Isn't the Legend very similar in specs as the Hero?

this is what we have all been waiting for! this will make our port go 100000x faster.

Yeah!! Lets See What Next!

awesome a faster way to a 2.2 sense rom!! epic win!

I can't wait for this to happen

2.2?

With recent tests of froyo on the nexus showing 450% speed incease over eclair.
Is there any thought of if it could be ported to older devices like the mytouch?
especially seeing as tmobile probaly wont roll out 2.1 for at least another month or so.
Sorry, stupid question

To be honest...
I think 2.1 is as far as the HTC Magic will go.... I think that both T-Mobile AND HTC is going to stop major Android updates to HTC Magic, when 2.1 is out...
But long live the custom ROMS! If its possibles for Magic's hardware to run 2.2 then the XDA devs will make it possible!

[Not officialy confirmed yet] HTC Sense 3.0 with Android 2.3.5 on HTC Desire HD

Hello everyone.
As many of you have already heard, Desire HD is getting an update of the "new" old Sense 3.0 with newest android 2.3.5 as our developers got its LEAK of an official system.
As many DHD users don't use costum roms and their DHDs are still chained in prison (not rooted) this may be a giant step up for their devices.
About the release, do you think its final? Will they port out what we already got on xda from our beloved hard-working developers?
When do you guys think we can expect that new stuff OTA?
Some youtube video of the new system: HERE
A lot of people still havent rooted their DHD? Where do you see those stats? Id be interested in giving that a look-see.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
well i dont know why they launching 3.0 sense to DHD if they already said that 3.5 sense is gonna be in old devices.. so why not jump to 3.5 sense better?
I have the ARHD 6.1, based on the last leak with sense 3.0. The Rom feels final, I mean everything work fine and the speed is increased over the previous Rom. I think they had spent more time to optimize sense 3.0 on single core and released it too close with sense 3.5 devices. The autor of the ARHD thread says that OTA will roll out in a month.
He also says that the surprises for dhd users aren't finished but I don't know what he mean.
Sorry for my bad English.

Lol +1 I bet who ever know xda they never wait to remain chained.
Those who have not rooted they are scared they shouldn't break their phone... Which is normal at beginning.

There are many out there that don't even know XDA, not a majority tho, but anyway, this update can make their phones kinda "new" again
like we get our "new" phone almost everytime we flash some new rom or something at least I get that feeling many times
PISS!
Is there any new info about "official sense 3.0 leak"? I'm so impatient about this new update. I hope so it will be available within this month via OTA.

I hope there will be an update and soon, my device isn't rooted(problems with goldcard) and i really want to upgrade.
In my opinion, desire hd will get Sense 3.5 too. It is much more smoother (for example Bliss port) and faster than 3.0 so why not?

Not saying that it will or won't, but the reason they might not is purely for marketing. Either way, as long as it is released on a device with a WVGA display, there shouldn't be any problems. That said, I think Sense 3.5 is a real disappointment, it doesn't have that unique HTC feel to it. I guess only time will tell...!
It would be nice to have it but i don't think it's needed. Well for me anyway since i use go launcher. Don't care if they stop updating Sense, its when they stop updating Android that i will have to root my phone and use up to date ROMs. Not need for the root until then.
Not officialy confirmed because the leak version is only a test build... Maybe we wait more time to have an final release ruu

[Q] ICS Sense port?

I noticed that the Sensation now has a leaked alpha HTC ICS ROM with Sense. I know that other ROMs have in the past been ported between HTC devices. Is there any chance the Sensation ROM could get ported over?
Marseillesw was trying last I heard. If he is making progress, its going to be tough. There are no ICS Sense kernels for our device, and according to TDJ, "Good luck. Sense kernels are a b****."

let's hope once there's a new HTC device with sense and ICS, then that can be the source
better yet... does sense 4.0 with ICS sound good?

I was wondering the same thing. HTC pretties up stock "Vanilla" Andriod, but ICS looks pretty good as is. They'd have to bust out some serious magic to make me want it.

Yes but what I'm saying is there's already an HTC device with official Sense and ICS - it's not a final build but it's direct from HTC. So there is a source available.

HTC has been working hard to get its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades ready, and we’re excited to announce that our first round of ICS upgrades will roll out by the end of March for the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XE, followed soon there after by the HTC Sensation XL.
In addition, we can confirm Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades will be coming later this year to 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. Stay tuned for more updates on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks.

Given that they'll eventually bring the Desire S and Desire HD to ICS... at that point you'd probably be able to make a fully functional ICS port. I may be wrong but doesn't one of those phones even have the exact same camera hardware as Glacier? That'd provide us with a driver.
Mind you I have already moved on to GNex land
Seems cool. But looks like all of the good MT4G devs are gone now since I had the phone couple months ago.

Yeah, my port was a pain in the ass since at the moment we don't have a working 3.0 kernel. However once the official is out for dhd, porting the rom and kernel libs will be much easier. One the bright side, keep ur eyes open in the dev thread the next few days...can't say much more lol

ICS with sense

Hello guys i am new here so excuse me if someone already wrote something about this.
is there any ice cream sandwitch rom with latest htc sense?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
None yet and there may not ever be. There will not be any drivers to hack to make it work as GB only got better because of the Desire source code. Note since that service will not see any more updates then we are out of luck.
Now someone may find a way but for now it's unlikely

Actually, there will definitely be a ICS ROM with sense. But you will have to wait. The reason being, HTC will launch new devices come this Q2 and Sense 4.0 is slated to be running on those devices. Such devices include the Ville, Edge,etc. So when those devices are released at the upcoming GSMA WMC on 27th February. You can expect a port a few days after that since there is bound to be someone posting the dump files and source code. This is how our sense 2.0 and 3.0 ROMs came about on our HD2s and its the only way. Custom building a ICS and Sense ROM from scratch is no easy task and like what chrisrj28 said above, it might not be possible for the devs.

Here is your answer.its here in xda and it wont be long before u see a hd2 port.when i say it wont be long,i mean its only a matter of days.just wait a bit longer mate
A RUU of ics with sense 4.0 of HTC Endeavour just leaked
Hope this is done soon. There is a port of the Sensation ICS Sense Rom for the myTouch 4G Slide.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
It's good news, cant wait
I hope we must wait a little more, but for me, there are too many ICS roms without Sense in XDA.
I like Sense, so I prefer to wait as long as necessary, instead of install ics non sense plenty of bugs.
If I bought an HTC, I like to watch Sense in the screen, if not, I can have another device, Samsung, LG, Motorola.....
ICS without sense better then 2.3 with sense.

I think the biggest issue is a kernel to boot the sense ICS, and there is no doubt HD2 will be running sense ICS
On Sensation already..
I think we should request some of the HD2 chief chefs need to come together for us... it is here now on Sensation, working .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513055
IMHO hd2 can't stand ics with sense...too heavy!....that's for quad-core devices!! the 2.3 sense is too much for our "old" hardware, too....
even if our fantastic hd2 is the best phone in the world, his hardware is going to be old...I think that it's arrived at the end of its possibilities with ics...
I have the US HD2 and it runs 2.3.5 Sense 3.5 just fine. No major issues at all. Also the HTC One V has specs not too far from the HD2 will be on sense 4.0.

Yeah initial hands on show that Sense 4.0/ICS do not perform as well as the big phones but it is adequate enough. And that is without the mods and customizations that Devs here are capable of.
The biggest issue will be drivers

Looks like this leak is not useful for us. Kernel is Desire S specific and it doesn't boot. Also the base isn't worth porting, so it seems we have to wait for a leak or official firmware.Read down from this post
Great! now camera problem can be solved.
Well i have been on ICS for sometime now on my DHD and love it. People have been trying to get Sense to work but never get the Camera to function... I wish someone could get Sense 4 to work, i don't think i will flash a 3.6 Sense if there is still the pip dream of a 4 out there in the works. But hopefully with this they can fix the flaws in the broken Sense 4 Roms that we all are waiting for!

I think Sense 3.6 can be even better than 4. Don't know exactly, but it seems we can get nothing better than Sense 4 lite which doesn't have all the features of Sense 4. So I'd better use either AOSP or Sense 3.6

Untill dhd source code of kernel won't be released it's useless to wait fully working rom. If So it will be not-fully-working ported rom 'cause it will be based on 2.xx kernel not 3.xx

I'd just like to see a Sense 3.6 with some of the nicer features ported from Sense 4.0 like the lockscreens, general themes, etc..
Hi all, for me I rather have a vanilla ice since sense doesn't make sense to me. It such a bloat ware for me. I've been using pics for two weeks and it's feel great!
The only issue was when you installed Facebook its getting a lot slower! It's issue with Facebook not ics I supposed. Can't wait for a fully functional camera
