The key is they almost have the same specs. There will not be an official CM release for DHD untill things are working. Right now the biggest hurdle is the camera, but there are other smaller issues and tweaks to be made before they will release an official version. I am running an unnofficial CM10 build by Randomblame that I like quite a bit atm. Things feel like the are progressing pretty quickly, so I have hope we'll see a strong/stable JB build in the coming weeks.

They already stated that then only devices that will get an official CM build are those with ICS official updates. Without it all we will get is kang builds which are not bad at all

The sales of HTC fall as expected
Where is CM9 for HTC Desire HD (was running Icecoldsandwich)
If HTC are not going to continue to support this phone ... they should at least release the source code to the CM & Kang teams who continue to develop for this device.
Come on HTC lift your game!
How is it that Opensource development teams in there spare time can achieve more that the dev's who created the device????
Its they can't but xda is your best bet

Yes it is. Look at the stable releases. You have CM 7.2.0 which was released June 15th,
It's a shame though. I never like Vanilla Android (and CM) until ICS. HTC Sense is the reason why I always stuck to HTC phones. However, with the UI advancements in ICS and JB, I would happily drop HTC Sense. Looks like that will never come to fruition on the Desire HD though, as there won't be an official CM9 or CM10 unless we get the source code from HTC first.
HTC really are killing themselves. Once industry leaders, they are now lagging far far behind. Sort of like a 100m runner competing in a marathon (sorry, I've been watching way too much of the Olympic Games)!

Specs mean nothing. It is all hardware, driver, kernel related. You have to remember that drivers for a lot of hard ware is not open source so they have to be built from the ground up. Without kernel source it is a lot more difficult.

Because the nexus is a galaxy phone. All the galaxy phones are alot closer then HTC phones. You can take most of the stuff from the nexus and it will work on the galaxy s with only minor changes to the kernel and coding.
Also you have to remember that HTC big thing is Sense. They want every HTC running it so they are not huge supporters of AOSP.

I can't see why you don't understand. The Galaxy S is pretty much identical to the Nexus S. They have the same CPU and GPU. So the CM team pretty much had the drivers for the Galaxy S when the Nexus S source code was released.
Thank you for your reply.
I see.

now that desire HD has got a fully working unofficial rom ported from incredible s, where the camera works great which was the actual reason that was stopping the CM team from building a CM9 for DHD.. cant they build one now ? :fingers-crossed:
If I am correct, you can't use a Sense kernel on a ASOP kernel. Although having the Sense kernel will help, you can't plop in a Sense kernel on a ASOP rom. If those CM10 betas get any better, then CM may start official nightlies. The main problem is all internal, how the phone manages RAM and especially using the SD Card is relatively unstable compared to a Sense Rom (most people consider it very stable but CM wants everything to be somewhat perfect and truthfully it kinda is unstable).

So happy to see so much development going on for the SGS2, looks like Samsung really have it together and understand how to please everyone. I'm sure this phone will be their best selling so far and rightfully so!
I'm not manufacturer loyal and the SGS2 is my first Samsung, but I can't really think of any reason so far why my next phone wouldn't be another Samsung.

Hey, good to see you here. Atinm and Codeworkx are the guys who are working hard to get AOSP working at the moment, but they're struggling with some issues. There are several threads here where they give progression updates every now and then. I know things haven't always been good between you and CM developers on the Desire, but I believe Atinm and Codeworkx are happily sharing information with other -serious- developers so it might be worth contacting them. Well, it's great to see you here and I hope you get it working soon!

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).

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 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.

don't get shocked cause u didnt see Desire HD,htc said that this is the first list for devices that will get ics,and they will keep testing all other devices to see if is it possible to have ics,and will release a new list whenever testing is complete
in my openion this is how it goes,new devices will get it first,then they will say our dhd won't get it and finally they will release it =D

Who needs official ICS with sense 2 when there's such a heaving dev community?
Well i think theyll release it for a newer phone of theirs, and the DHD/Inspire Devs will just port that release to our phones.. Lol
you guys seem to forget that XDA devs need a base to begin with, so the more bases and kernel sources HTC provides the better for us, for example before the WVGA sense 3.0 DHD/incredibleS and runny leaks all customs ports of sense 3 needed to resize the graphics which wasn't a walk in the park, equaly right now roms based on WVGA sense 3.0/3.5 are running so well because we already have Gingerbread kernel source from HTC
so yes even if we rely on custom roms we will always need a compatible base
the good news is that HTC committed to ICS on Sensation XL which is WVGA and has close specs including the same GPU/CPU and RAM as our DHD, a fully working port is almost guarranteed

Theres nothing stopping HTC from upgrading the Desire HD to sensation XL performance. If we can do it at Dev level like with Android Revolution, including upping the CPU to a safe level like 1.2 Ghz, then HTC can do it. They're just being picky.

It’s been awhile since the last update and I just wanted to let everyone know about our progress with CM9. As I mentioned in the previous update, Android 4.0 contains many internal changes that require updated graphics drivers. Unfortunately, these drivers are almost always closed-source and don’t appear until a device or devkit is released with them. For many devices, our hands are tied. Some very clever workarounds have gone into CM9, but we’re still blocked on some subsystems like the camera.
Since Android 4.0 is such a major change from 2.3, we started with a fresh codebase from Google and have been forward-porting features from CM7 with an eye on design and better integration. This is a somewhat time-consuming process, but it allows us to rethink everything. We’ve eliminated the CMParts app, instead choosing to add our custom features directly into the main settings. We are also taking a “just works” approach when it comes to configuration- CM7 had too many options that just weren’t widely used. We hope to achieve a good balance between tweakability and a great out-of-the-box experience. I want your phone or tablet to feel like it should have come with CM9.
Currently, you can compile CM9 for a small number of devices- notably the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi and T-Mobile versions), the HP Touchpad and Motorola Xoom. The next devices to show up will likely be a whole array of Samsung phones (Exynos chipset), with devices based on the Qualcomm MSM8660 and 7×30 chipsets to follow. It’s still unclear if we can provide support for the QSD8x50 family of devices (Nexus One, HTC Evo, etc), but the answer almost always turns out to be “yes” for these kinds of things.
As our hardware support improves, I’ll keep this blog updated. As much as we’d like to stay ahead of the manufacturers, it may be a tie this time Thanks for the continued support, and please consider dropping us a buck or two using the link at the bottom of the page if you enjoy CyanogenMod.

Lack of GPU a Heavy Loss
As we don't have a GPU in Wildfire, we won't be able to enjoy the animation and effects in ICS.
Gingerbread Animation stumbles often in CM7.1. If the wildy was equipped with a GPU, it would definitely be getting ICS officially.... FYI, HTC Wildfire @ buzz is the 7th device in most installation according to CM stats.
Atleast I'm happy with it for 2 years now... Better than My Girlfriend... LOL..
Just tried out the ICS by ErwinP and i found it quiet good. OC'ed to 652MHz and it was a bit smooth. The lack of GPU showed when the screen became slow when coming out of the app drawer.
Live wallpapers didn't work at all like the camera. But the rest was smooth. Wifi , calls , sms , images etc.
Give it a time and it may become stable on wildfire.

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:

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.

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.
