All HTC Desire Devices Getting New Sense UI Soon
HTCSense.com is online and accepting sign-ups from people running both the Desire HD and the Desire Z phones --phones that are running the latest version of the HTC Sense UI. Unfortunately, other Android devices, even those running older versions of HTC's Sense UI can't get in. According to a post at ePrice.com.tw,
Additionally, if you are running on an HTC Desire currently, if the rumors hold true, HTC will be updating your Sense UI to the new version as early as December 2010.
I read this article from pocketnow.com

If this is true, we can have even the camera and ereader working on our hd2 Android with the latest sense UI with less memory usage. I am eager for the release.

I don't understand how a new sense release will enable us to have the camera working?

If you read carefully then you see that it's rumored the normal Desire model also gets a Sense update.. Which means we can use the Android builds with Evo/Desire kernels and therefore also get the new Sense on those builds. While those builds do support camera.

Hi guys, while i love my Sense3 DHD, i was wondering when the ICS AOSP source drops will anybody here make a port of ICS for our DHD's?
(I know i proberly should sell my SGS and get a nexus-s hehehe)
If the source drops in full, then I would expect the Cyanogen team to make and release ICS, probably under the name (CyanogenMod 8). This would/ usually is ported to a large list of devices (Desire HD included).

Cyanogen already stated it will be CM9 as 8 was meant for honeycomb.
But it will take a long time :-( i think we have to wait 3 - 4 month ...

Yes your most likely right. As they said the source would be released with the release of the first device running it. So when in the first ICS device gonna be release? I know everyone is excited about this. Hell I am. But please understand that when rushed you end up with a product that has bugs and huge issues. Not to mention that HTC is not the first or the last group that has to have time with it before it can be released. Once you toss in the carriers, well we know how that goes lol.
i am wondering whether dhd will get a official ICS from HTC.

the device is going to be released in the first week or so of november which mean (or i think) a week or two after that ICS source will be released.

I would expect so, given the specifications of the DHD. HTC have mentioned releasing ICS for older phones. I guess it's the mid-range phones that won't be getting ICS.
All the same, the official release will come out much later than the cooked ROMs - and I know which one I'd prefer
Correct me if I am wrong,but if HTC updates its latest models/or if their newest mobile has ICS then wont it be easy to port it to DHD?|
I know it wont be a vanilla version then,but still.

If the hardware of the handsets is the same, yes. If not, no.
We have uploaded a small YouTube clip which is showing how the android 4 port is looking at the moment: ICS DHD
Nearly there...
LorD ClockaN has just fixed Hardware acceleration!!! It is so much quicker now... It won't let me post in the source port thread (need 10 posts first)!!! Another day or so and it will be fully usable I reckon...

If you want ICS there is a rom (i assume you are rooted) out there called Virtuous Quattro. Its a full AOSP build of ICS ported to the G2/Desire Z
Here is the developers website:
http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/quattro.html
I definitely recommend it. Its kinda new, but vary stable. Especially when using the Nova Launcher.
Hope this helps

Sent them one re: DZ and Flyer.
Hopefully if we don't get an official one, someone will port the Runnymead ICS. I've tried Quattro but to be honest, I quite like sense...
The post on the front page of XDA states Desire Z is on the "expected but not officially announced"
There's also the Andromadus dev team, building what might be the start of CM9 for the Desire Z/G2.
I'm running their Alpha 11 and it's been stable and well-behaved so far.
Its capable of running it that's for sure. But I highly doubt it will be pushed to our devices. It would be nice as it would near complete the custom roms problems they are having. Since HTC doesn't want to give up things like the camera to help move it along.
Sense+ICS may be too much for the ram in our phones, but there is no reason why the G2 shouldn't get an update, 512mb of ram is plenty for stock ICS

Sure there is, the G2 has been end of lifed and has already received a major OS update. Not to mention the G2 isn't totally stock (if you tear the OS apart and look).
We will get our ICS, just in the form of CM9.
i don't think we wil get an official ics update from htc, and onestly, i don't want it, the last official update really suck compared to the unofficial roms in the dev section...
the question is...when we get official and fully working cm9 rom?

90% of us don't want the update for a modded rom lol! We just want it to rip out the drivers so that stuff like CM9 will actually work properly. It looks like one our cousin phones (Desire HD & S) will be getting the update so we should be okay eventually as far as proper drivers go.
HTC didn't announce ICS update, despite its brothers getting it.
We assumed it was hardware limitations with the smaller RAM (512mb)
But now HTC have announced the new HTC One V with ICS and Sense 3.6/4.0.
And guess what? It only has 512mb aswell.
So RAM can't be the issue. Maybe CPU power?
Go pester HTC on Twitter/Facebook now for your update!

The issue is that HTC has A LOT of phones. The Desire Z has already received a major Android update. It is not a flagship phone, nor a big seller.
Or in short....$$$$$$$$.

True, but the Desire Hd (released at the same time) is getting the update.
And that phine hasn't just had one, or two or three major updates....
It's had FOUR MAJOR OS UPDATES.
that beats Apple with their iPhone 3gs.
It's gone from 2.2 all the way to 4.0 with numerous huge sense upgrades.

I think Nospin is right; commitment to the development of Android varies among different manufacturers. Commitment to profit does not. There is limited upside to them providing an upgrade. Chances are, we'll still purchase the next HTC phone when we get the money and/or discounted price with contract from our carriers, despite them choosing not to upgrade our phones. In other words, why provide us with an additional free service, when they're going to get our money in the future anyway. In fact, providing the upgrade might *deter* us from buying their latest and greatest.

That's cause the Desire HD IS a flagship device.
But I hope so, we will get custom ICS from HTC ONE V. I think it will be brilliant
I don't think the desire z will get a OTA update either. I think they plan it this way so that we have to upgrade and won't be content on sticking it out with our old devices. Either way the desire z will get ICS from cm9 most likely. It's taken longer then I wanted but I know it's in the works.
Just use Andromadus. I know it's not official, but you can rock it now. Which counts for a lot.

what my opinion is that HTC released the sense 3 OTA to make people either root, or upgrade.. my guess is that HTC will never release any OTA anymore

If this was Samsung, then I would agree with the Desire Z getting ICS. However HTC has already given us an unlocked bootloader as well as the source code for the Desire Z. There's no need for HTC to get involved anymore. This is exactly why places like XDA are important to the rest of us who "knows" our devices are still kicking strong because then we can just do the work ourselves. And besides, even if Desire Z does get an ICS update: the majority of us will still prefer Custom ROMs anyways. This way, everybody wins. HTC maintains a healthy reputation with us and we get to save some money.
heh, by "we", I mean the talented devs that still support our devices. I'm personally useless.

I agree, I think there would be two benefits of having ICS come officially to Desire Z / G2. First would be that that ROM would be a lot easier to modify and tinker with by the dev's then what they are working with currently. The second benefit would be in the form of less people asking for eta's on cm9. I would rather use a custom version of a rom than a stock rom, but the same doesn't go for everybody. I bet a lot of the traffic on xda is people just wanting ICS on their device period.
I can't wait when HTC relase HTC One V I think, we will get ICS with sense 4.0 with out of problems

ICS is coming to both the Desire HD and Desire S, both of which use the same chipset (including camera chip) as our phone. So the problem should be solved soon (One V probably won't be out much sooner, if at all).

If some developer port kernel from desire hd then probably we will have full working ICS with sense ui. Port from Desire HD is easy.

Remember, HTC has never said that they've finalized the list of devices to be upgraded. We still might get it, we may not. Besides, enough phones will be upgraded to give us a 100% working ICS rom anyway from CyanogenMod and others.
