HTC Glacier and ICS - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I heard that nexus one's hardware won't be able to support ice cream sandwich 4.0, and won't receive OTA updates. Does anyone know if the myTouch 4G hardware will support ICS?

Rooted phones will easily be able to run CM9, but the MT4G will never receive an official ICS OTA update (at least it's very unlikely).

Good to know. Thank you.

We are getting what was 2.4, google decided to call it 2.3.3. I assume because they want to make 2.4 ice cream

uhh, why did you mention ice cream? 2.3.6 is just an OTA update with fixes like for the search button issue.
....and broken tethering
this is a fix for users having problems with google voice lulz
Why would they push an entire OTA just to fix an app? Honest question.... Please no flame me
ppl have been reporting that the google voice search has made their phones unusable. i'm not sure how, but thats what i've been reading. they say its so bad that they rather give up tethering capabilities with the new update.
Thats weird.... I wish google would put in some new api's in return for breaking tether..... Is the issue carrier specific?
Lmao some ppl r thick.

im not sure, i know that Canada ns's have already gotten the roll out, and a few AT&T ns owners have reported they got it too. I haven't heard from Sprint or Tmo owners yet.
What's up with the ice cream?

Why would anyone think that a 2.3 release would be ice cream sandwich
ICS would be at least 2.4 if not 4.0
As long as we are on 2.3.* releases we're still on Gingerbread, common sense!
I think op feels really dumb cuz he hasn't posted on here since he started this topic. . Can some just close thread.

Title aside, is 2.3.6 expected for other models? Have a I9020T.

Don't think so! That update was aimed to fix google voice search problem, and some other small bugs. Maybe we will get some other update for I9020T before ICS, but we can't be sure... My Nexus is working fine for now ...

Ice cream sandwich? 4 mt4g

Anyone knows if the my touch 4g is going to get ice cream sandwich 4.0 I already try the theme is on the market . Is a cool theme. I hope a new custom rom ice cream sandwich 4.0 come out

*Facepalm*
Really? Were do these people come from, READ!
Lol. Check the dev section. There is a Beta ICS ROM for Mytouch 4G. Its pretty nice and improving all the time. As I recall, hardware acceleration and camera are still being worked on. Do yourself a favor and don't ask about them. Wait patiently and be grateful for what is available.
You really do need to read though.You have 9 posts so I'm being nice. You're welcome. ;-)

To answer your question. There is an OS port in the Dev sections. I think everything is working but the camera. I might give it a shot but i am yearning for some CM9 love.
I asked HTC and they said that they are evaluating ask then in twitter.

creamed glacier rom
For now, we have the Creamed Glacier ROM. Sadly... ICS may not come officially to the MyTouch, but I'm almost sure CyanogenMod 9 will.
Thanks guys for the information. I. Really. Appreciated. I already try the creamed glacier. Beta version. Is so cool. I love it everything good but camera not working. .
About the (cyanogenmod) .I hope they bring a new. Updates. People say that there is going to be. ics rom coming soon ..

[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

[Q] Noob Question: Will an Official 4.0 ICS ever be available for the Mytouch 4G?

Will an Official 4.0 ICS ever be available for the Mytouch 4G in the future?
Many Users on the Internet are promoting to a official Ice Cream Sandwich release. What are your thoughts?
Thanks!
No, it won't.

The device Is very capable of handling ics just like nexus s.. I think its all revenue. Be it so your better off rooting and flashing ported ics Rom.and I think Febycv is doing a wonderful job.y Yes a lot of people are excited about ics. Its the latest android development release. So if you like android phones then you should be excited about its latest release.

There was a site that talked about this... at first the rep said there was, and that got everyone pretty excited. But then news came out that she was "confused and misinformed"...

Agree that its capable of running it. Can you imagine what ICS mysense will look like though?
Its a pity, the myTouch 4G seems to be even more capable than the Nexus S because of the 50% more memory... I myself am looking to switch from a Galaxy S series phone to the myTouch 4G because of the crazy amount of swapping going on because of the small amount of RAM...
The myTouch 4G is basically an HTC Sensation without the 2nd core, but with dual core mattering so little at the moment, it really does suck that the myTouch won't get an official update...

Yea, HTC will take FOREVER if they do make an ICS update for this phone...
plus it'll be mysense too, so you're better off flashing a port. mysense is so bad IMO. I think sense is bad period.
Highly doubt it

Its a shame that HTC isn't going to update it to ICS. I do like the direction the manufacturers are going. Less phones per should also help with future updates.

I didn't know this many people were ICS fans aswell
Well other HTC devices have already been announced by HTC and Mytouch isn't one of them
