HTC Merge - Droid Incredible General

Has anyone seen this HTC Merge? It looks awfully like out beloved DInc but with a slide out keyboard. I love it and wouldn't mind having one. It has Android 2.2 and Sense, that's all that's known now. Link to come.

Around the time I picked up my Inc I was looking at this. Haven't heard about it since.
Did it even launch???

It was just officially confirmed.

The lack of a FFC is saddening.

Yeah I think this phone is a couple months late. It should have launched when the g2 and desire z did. But then again it is nice if you really need the slide out keyboard.

this was an awesome phone... like 5 months ago!
why would they release this without upgrading it? it still has the original sense on it!

[Request] Honeycomb on G2

I just saw that honeycomb was ported to the Nexus One, and even the G1 and myTouch 3g. I was wondering if anyone could make a honeycomb rom for the G2? since we do have better hardware than the Nexus One it should run better. I would try to do this, but i dont know how to.
What?

If I had to guess, I would say he wants a Honeycomb port to the G2, and the actual post...???
I pressed enter by accident and the thread was made without me finishing it.
I support this
cant believe G1 has it already it
yea i just saw the article on enagadget, they got it running on the G1 and Mt3g, its slow but they got something.
Well the guy working on honeycomb for g1 and mytouch3g is a friend of mine. He's making the gingerbread for those phones as well haha. He doesn't have a g2 though

That honestly shows just how flexible android really truely is. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw I could run Honeycomb on my old Dream. But yeah I actually was hoping someone could port honeycomb as well. Sure it won't match tablet experience but still fun to use.
Sent from my Liquid Metal using XDA Premium App
My only concern is the size of all of the icons, but I would like Honeycomb on the G2.
There's a port of it for mytouch4g and it doesn't look bad at all

I remeber reading something about the honeycomb sdk having a portrait launcher than does normal phone res, not Tablet res. So i think it will be usable. If you look at the screenshots from the G1, and the N1 honeycomb roms, they seem to be usable

Miui rom

I got nexus s from craiglist for the time being till my Atrix get cm7. I got a chance to use miui rom. Wow I'm really impressed. I do love stock roms but this one is brilliant. It's completely redesigned interface. Looks like iphone but million times better! Anyone else got a chance to evaluate it ever?
Sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Yep I used it all the time on my Evo, its awesome, its basicly a CM rom, but with different design, in fact, any phone that has official CM7 will almost have MIUI =)!

Oh wow. It's really great then. Can't wait to run this on Atrix. I don't know why Nexus S runs smoother than atrix right now. I understand that nexus s is running on gingerbread but atrix has dual core processor and one gb ram. I run out of ram on nexus s quite easily, that's the only problem I have.

[ICS] should they stop working on it

I've been following the ics project since after my birthday (11/27/11) and a lot has changed but when it comes to (FFC) it came to me that its not gonna work till maybe after the summer or never, whenever HTC gives out the code bit what's your opinion about the ics for the EVO 4G?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
This doesnt belong in the Android Development section, belongs in GENERAL.
My bad I thought it was general at first. The system will automaticly do it for me as usual.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
ummm my opinion on it is that if they dont want to they shouldnt. It will give us an awesome rom but more importantly that means our wonderful devs are learning stuff. this means that in the future they can use these experiences to help them in work or in other aspects of there personal lifes. so dev on guys you are doing great
Why in the world should they stop working on ICS? It makes little sense.
Deck and Kang and others are making great ICS ROMs for lots of phones, not just the EVO4G.
htc will release the code.. because it is an open source project. when is the question, not if.
ics will come..

The OS code is open source. The device drivers are not last I knew. So no, HTC does not have to release driver code.
HTC may release the FFC code for our OG's as soon as they sell enough of their newer devices.
They seem to be dragging their feet in releasing the official ICS updates for the Evo 3D and the Evo Design when they said they would, but they're holding it back, why? Cuz they want to sell enough of the One series models before they officially update the older HTC models that are scheduled to be updated with ICS.
Its kinda crappy of HTC to do that, but hey, they're a "for-profit" business.
But in answer to your question, heck no they shouldn't stop developing ICS for our OG Evo's! This sh*t is fun as hell.

what is the point of this thread? why is that a question? sorry no disrespect.
Yeah, I don't get why a thread was started for this. But why should devs abandon ICS on Evo? Because they can't get FFC to work!? I've been on ICS since the minute they got camera working (around Xmas), and could NEVER imagine going back to GB or Froyo (well, ...maybe froyo).
Keep up the awesome work, all who are working on ICS for Evo.

That's my point. This thread makes no sense. Ics development for evo is extremely active. Don't understand the creation of this thread.

Hahaha. Let's see... These devs have given us some of the smoothest ROMs our phones have ever seen, with incredible battery life and cutting edge features...
But if I can't look at myself in my phone with a FFC, what's the point??

The evo is EOL(end of life) HTC doesn't have to support it any longer meaning they won't release any source for it as they are not working on ICS for the device. Hardware mfgs may release source for the same hardware in other devices, like they did with the adreno or the devs may code their own drivers. But don't expect HTC to do a damn thing for the evo, period.

All I'm saying we have a lot of people love the ics Rom but some people hate it cause no 4G. But let me tell one thing about the ics it came a lot since then and like some people who are poor or they don't make a lot of money, its hard to keep up with ics roms when the last two months the biggest change was 4.0.4 which is like starting all over again. Don't get me wrong with the debate about their work, its freaking amazing, but the biggest break through will be the ffc. Closest to that is from a horse ride to a plane ride experience
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I don't think that they should stop working on the ICS ROM's. I went from Sense to Ice Cream Sense to ICS and having ICS on my phone is like having a brand new phone. We don't have 4G in our area, and the front facing camera I hardly used. I am using gummyWorms ICS right now and so far had no major problems with it. There are minor glitches sometimes but, that is no big deal. I hope that the ICS developers can get everything working and I know that it will take time to do so. I appreciate all of their hard work in bringing us some ICS goodness to our phones.

Need advice on new phone

I have a little dilemma. I have had this my touch 4g for a while now and love it. I am currently rooted running ics on my phone. The fact that I am a flashaholic and it seems lately new things are coming out for this phone every week or so, makes it even better.
My girlfriend just got added to my plan so we ordered a HTC amaze 4g because it was free. And after looking at the amaze section it doesn't seem likes there's much going on.from what I read they are stuck on drivers. Yet the amaze it set to get the official ics update.
All that being said my girlfriend had a flip phone so anything is an upgrade for her. Which phone should I take and which one should I give to her.

I keep hearing that they have s-off on the Amaze, but it hasn't been released yet...but that's just what I read on here. I don't know it to be a fact. But I would probably take the Amaze if it were free, because I have found out recently that I don't prefer ICS. Not that I'm knocking mt4g, its still my favorite, but I feel like the Amaze will explode in development soon...

I thought the same thing but then I saw that there isn't even çm7 for the amaze which kind of made me worry about development. Thanks for your reply though
Sent from my My Touch 4G using XDA
Ive heard that the Amaze is a great phone, but time is ticking and the development window is getting smaller by the day. Without development going on currently, people will probably move to a new device sooner.
Just my two cents.
If you want a device for development, go for some thing else like sensation or upcoming one s. If you want a great device that works, go for the amaze.
I got the amaze for my girl and Im switching to it too.
Honestly, if you want great developer support and lots of ROM options, you should go with a Nexus. Be it a nexus S or the galaxy nexus. They tend to have the liveliest dev groups. however, if you are into sense ui, it might not be the best choice.
Forget everything. Go for the amaze. They have s-off.
Amaze is a beautiful powerhouse

The only thing I am worried about from taking the amaze is the battery life

+1 Word, never even considered the one series devices one bit. Long live AMAZE!

Yet another waiting thread....

While I love my hardware keyboard and dont think I could live without it, I got my gf a galaxy s 3 for an early valentines day present. The phone is pretty sweet, love its snappiness and screen size... dont love the swype or software keyboard. Im also a fan of sense... Playing with it, rooting it and working with the custom rom just makes me want a new phone lol. I played with a photon q in a store.... but idk, theres not much in the way of roms and whatnot here, and im not sold on motorola. So to google I went, I found a concept phone called the htc one z. Basically a one with a keyboard, its sweet and aparently alot of ppl want it made, but this information is over a year old again. What are some of youse doing for new phones when and if the time will come? I thought about an evo lte... but.. again.. i want a keyboard lol.

Evo lte here.
The screen size doesn't make me miss the keyboard.
It just took about a week for my muscle memory to forget the keyboard. Lol
My gf also has the s3 lol she won't let me root it though.

This is the firs I've heard of the One Z. I'll have to google that. For now while my shift is down Im using a DX2 tethered to my shift for data. I can still use the bluetooth headset for calls. I was considering the Photon Q myself but between Vicodan's report and how tight Moto is with their bootloader, I doubt I'll do that. If I have to go virtual keyboard, EVO LTE will likely be what I'll do.
Personally, I like the look of the S3 most. And samsung's very dedicated dev support doesnt hurt either
Not a big fan of Touchwiz though. But we'll see.
I'm thinking of porting a sense rom to it once i have it, unless someone else beats me to the punch

a sense rom would be pretty cool, just make sure to try for 3.6+ lol, and the one z is basicaly a HTC One, or EVO LTE with a keyboard. Its not a phone that was ever released however. I might plunge for a evo lte... i just dont like the photon q enough to keep the keyboard, and theres not much development going on with it to keep me entertained. I have until July for an upgrade now. So i have time to wait for something, I was hoping xmas would give sprint another android phone, but HTC hasnt released anything in a while, aside the butterfly which i dont think is coming state side. nor has sprint in general actually.
