Looks like Sense is alive and running on Gingerbread

Just ran across this article on Engadget and noticed that the pictured device is running a high res version of the Sense browser on Gingerbread, so it does look like we will be getting a ROM soon, ported or official is the question now
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/27/htcs-newest-android-flagship-phone-revealed/
Notice the notification bar has Gingerbread icons

Can't wait til YOU get your hands on the port OR official version...for another EViO update running Gingie!!

Yes! Good catch. I was just looking at that. I'm holding off on anything till later this year after seeing that leaked slide from nvidia saying quad cores might show up on phones. That new psp looks cool just because it is (hopefully) gonna be so damn fast.
Swyped from my Evo on steroids.

oh i hope so. this would be nice.

There is no way you can know that and as far as gingerbread icons the only one I can see good enough to make out is the battery icon, and thats not a GB one. In GB the battery is standing up, where in that pic it is laying down like 2.2. And what I'm assuming is the alarm next to the battery it seems more like the old one which is a little bigger than the gingerbread one.
Looking at it again the signal is green, but thats the one one I would say is gingerbread like.

Just because the icons look like the older ones doesn't mean much because HTC isn't necessarily going to keep the GB icons.

I read yesterday that the quad cores aren't likely to hit the shelves until Christmas. That seems to line up with the way carriers release phones. Roll out the dual cores early this year, and the quad cores for the holidays.

Honestly unless the quad cores offer a significant improvement in power consumption, I'm not sure that it will be that much of an improvement over the dual cores.
The killer feature on all phones, at least at the current level of functionality, is battery life. Put it this way: would you rather have an EVO that was twice as fast (or had twice the data speed, for that matter), or one with a battery that lasted twice as long. I think most people (techies and otherwise) would answer #2.

i don't expect a sense/ginger update from sprint until spring or later. too bad that will be the last official upgrade for the evo!

Those are froyo icons, the horizontal battery is orange, the big alarm clock....yea.

For those looking to try GB now, CM7 nightlies are highly functional now. Just the usual no 4G and no HDMI but if you rarely use those, may be worth playing with. I have been running for over a month now it its great.

Wait. You have been running nightlies for over a month? So that means what? You only had a week or less to try cm7 .... each nightly changes. Run a certain nightly for a month then come back and praise it.

Each nightly doesn't really change all that much, development has been really slow on cm7 lately. But I know what you're trying to say, even if it was unnecessary and makes you look like a hater.

MOST nightly updates improves on previous builds...occasionally something gets borked...but that's why you:
nandroid your "last" stable build
nandroid your "last" stable ROM
OR
you don't touch the nightlies until you get stable builds...then again...lots of us like the bleeding edge or we won't be going thru these forums as it is...
Gingerbread is cool...and the nightlies are very stable at this point...worthy to be a daily driver. Whether you update nightly to nightly that is up to you.
Lets not flame those that are praising the nightlies...especially when they feel that the nightlies are daily driver worthy to THEM.

I'm hoping we will get an official OTA within the next month or two, or at least a source release from HTC before then. HTC is by far the best manufacturer about pushing out updates. Samsung and LG just straight don't care, and Motorola is slow. I read an article on Engadget a few weeks ago about how HTC has been very good about supporting it's older devices, updating half of them to Froyo last year. Ah, found it: http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/13/...htc-most-eager-to-provide-android-2-2-updat/#
I'm loving the current gingerbread roms, using evervolv right now, but I'm really missing 4G, properly working GPS, and sense in general haha.

Praise all you want in the cm7 thread.

Well CM9 isn't exactly equal to ICS out of the box, right? Our devs do amazing things, and I don't think you can quite compare CM9 to ICS stock.
Unless of course you have a Verzion Galaxy Nexus we don't know about .

We have the same ROM on BML and MTD. The main reason is that even if we have a larger system partition, we can still not fit bloatware, touchwiz, and ics.
As mkasick has said before, Samsung can change BML and RFS all that they want for an update. They just do not choose to because the Galaxy S 1 should be EOL by now and even if they did do an ics update, it would run pretty slow and be buggy and miss features of toucheiz that the average user likes.

I see the average user as they want an update from thir damn phone so gps works and want a better look, I've asked several people I know who have this phone they don't know anything about rooting, etc... they all pretty much told me they wanted something that works and were all tired of the TW look to it so I say otherwise. Get rid of bloatware its not needed and strip TW away as much as it needs so ICS will operate.
I asked them all about battery life and they told me it doesn't matter as long as a charger is near by there were a few who said I would like longer battery life and pointed them into the rootin process. I surveyed more than 10 people.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Why does it matter if TW is present in the updates Sprint gives us? We're all rooted and have a choice between stock/custom TW or AOSP roms. Sprint is only updating the Epic long enough till they get a new slider that have LTE. I doubt they'll update pass GB, and the value pack would be pushing it. Too much of a hassle for those who like their phone for it's average looks.

Our phone isn't a Nexus brand phone, so bloatware and TouchWiz are mandatory (so to speak) on our phones. No way around it. Sprint/Samsung would never send out an update to a TouchWiz based phone without TW on it. While we here at XDA would love nothing more, it's simply not going to happen. They have to profit some way, some how from all that crap otherwise there wouldn't be a need for it in the first place. And once it's there, from a stock standpoint, it's there to stay.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

This thread discussion is going to be continued in the new Sticky Thread JellyBean Ota
-----THREAD CLOSED-----
Google has inadvertently confirmed that the next version of Android will be called “Jelly Bean” and that it will appear in the new Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ phone.
hough the report lists Jelly Bean as “Android 4.1,” other rumors have said that’s the code-name for Android 5.0. Google is said to be switching strategies for Jelly Bean, allowing multiple manufacturers early access to the OS. Previously, Google had partnered with a single manufacturer to provide a “reference” for other models.
More details about Jelly Bean will likely be announced at Google I/O, the developers’ conference, next week in San Francisco.

we will surely get it on ours notes, hope not so late

Let's see if it is a "new" android version or an enhanced version of ICS (that was an enhanced version of GB)....
Looked around but couldn't find the hardware specs it needs, will the note (still) be able to handle this ??
I know that there are going to be devs playing around with it but if it comes out "original" it will be more reliable in the earlier versions.
Wait and see, i think.

ICS is an improvement over GB imo. It just needs a few updates to make it better and sorting out some bugs.
GB also needed quite a few updates before it became stable and fast.

Galaxy Note didn't even get ICS in my opinion, though they label it ICS it is a premium suite as they say, so Note didn't get ICS just got a premium suite which is a faint resemblence to ICS but carries a ton of bugs and issues that can be avoided by not upgrading. Its good to see a new version already coming out and hopefully (fingers crossed) Samsung grabs this chance to fix thier mistake that is ICS for the Galaxy Note
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Since it's Android 4.1 and not 5.0 it clearly means it's a minor upgrade ( meaning that it's "enchenced ICS" ).
I don't see why we wouldn't get it since the current Nexus device has even weaker hardware than Note. The only reason there might be for not getting it - is Samsung's policy. But there's always Cyanogenmod.

Totally agree.
When I first took a look at what Samsung did to ICS with their amazing premium suite i was like are we still running GB or is that a kind of joke.
I'm really disappointed by Samsung updates that also take too long to be released.
I just hope this time Samsung will release a real update with great UI and not that TW crap again.

It is really just a matter of taste. I have been using CM9, just my own kang. But I am not only addicted to flashing, but also to tinkering and building the source.
I think it is the most fun to roll your own.

Maybe he's trolling but I have to say I kind of agree. I don't have a full understanding of the process, but it seemed like it took cyanogen a really long time this time to reach a release candidate. And for me, ever since my Nexus one, cyanogen has always had a lot of reboots and freezes. At least in my experience. I'm sure somebody is going to report the exact opposite of my results but I figured I'd share anyways

I gave up on CM after my hero days. No disrespect but they are overrated. Usually always full of bugs.

I'm using CM9 and its good. Sometimes feels slow and battery drains crazily (compared to stock) but still good. I'm planning on going to Jelly Bean stock when OTA is out though. Slim ICS seems to be getting real good reviews.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app

Yes shark_on_land, like with so many other things, it's just you. Don't feed the troll, people!

He might be trolling or whatever but you have to kind of agree with him. I've tried CM7 and it was rather good. But when i've used CM9 I just get reboots with every kernel I use and little bugs here and there. Just stick to the unicorns...

i kinda agree with this,i only used the first two nightlies of CM9 then started switching to other ROMs including pixel rom,cyber gr,paranoidroid,and ended up using CyanUltra (which is very close to CM9) and when CM9 RC1 was released i came back to CM9 but not for a long time,am using the jelly bean port now.so i haven't used CM9 a lot or as a daily driver for long time.

Why, nowadays, no one can share an opinion about a random subject and ask people what they think about without being qualified as a troll ? Smart people... if you don't care about a question, if you don't like trolling (as you call that), why don't you just leave the topic and let the others share their thoughts ? Why is it so difficult for you to simply ignore these topics ? The op is only talking about a personal feeling in the "General" section... I don't feel like he's trolling... nor is the intention.
Maybe you feel smarter after posting the popular "don't feed the troll" sentence or what ?
I personally think he's right... in my own experience, Cyanogenmod is the ROM i flashed on every Android device until i got my Nexus S... I found others ROMs a lot more stable with many more interesting settings.

You do realize that they wanted to rewrite everything from scratch? There should be a stable CM9 soon. After that they will build CM10 upon CM9 and only work on CM7 and CM10. I've never had any serious problems with Cyanogenmod.
Why do you have to open up a new thread just for this?

I think its because he is known as a troll to some persons.

i don't feeling using both CM7 and CM9, because CM9, imho, isn't that stable and a small bit "bloaty" (same feeling to AOKP) so for ICS, i resort to any AOSP-built ROMs available
CM7, that laggy ADW dreaded me because i had to navigate through it at least for a few mins to install another launcher, some few bugs and again, the "bloaty" feeling

I feel it's a legitimate question, though. I have been using CM since my G1 days. After I got my Nexus and ICS, I really didn't want to bother with anymore features as it had what I needed pretty much. The only thing still missing were the status bar toggles, and Bugless Beast offered that next to an almost stock experience. My G2 still has CM7 on it because it's rock solid and offers everything I need(come on, call blacklist FTW!). It's all about preference at the end of the day and choice is Android's biggest strength.

What's funny is you guys say that CM9 isn't all that good but on the Epic 4G its fricking great. Stock Epic 4G I got 6 hours on battery. Once I had rooted and pushed CM and then Kernel if I felt like it. My phone would last 24 hours with moderate usage. Heavy usage was like 15 to 18 hours. And it would last 2 days with minimal.
And thats really good for the Epic 4G.
On the NS4G its backwards I had gotten better battery life on Stock. I've tried several ROM's and get worse battery life. So Strange

Me, definitely. I used CyanogenMod 7 and 7.1 on my Nexus One, and then for a while on my Nexus S. When ICS came out, I couldn't wait, and I refused to use nightly after trying a few times with bad experiences. The RC came out, I flashed it, saw it had issues, then reflashed my Nandroid backups.
I guess the wait was worth it. I got so tired of every ROM out that that I'm making my own, and am gaining useful skills in the process.

See, i remember running cyanogenmod early early builds on my G1 and later magic and they were great on that. When i finally came to the nexus S i realized i love stock android.. Then i started flashing air kernel and slim ics and nightly builds of CM9. But in reality it took them awhile to release the RC, i mean it was like a week or two ago it made the post page in development.. It should have been done like 6 months ago so we could have enjoyed it while waiting for JB.

Which is the best kernel for u? and why?

so there is 3 man kernels for our nexus s in JB:
-Trinity (der kernel)
-Marmite
-Matr1x

Isn't there like 3 other threads discussing the same thing right now?
Marmite for me. It works, it doesn't have all those fancy features that require buying an app just to use it. Marmite just flat gets it done.

_thalamus' kernel; perhaps it has higher battery drain than marmite or others, but no one is as fast and smooth as that one. I prefer performance and stability rather than best battery life; after all, I always charge the phone at the end of the day to have it full for next day, so....

My phone always liked trinity. From gb / ics / jb. Matrix would be a close second for me. Marmite was awesome for me around 4.5 build but since then I get a fast dying phone for some reason.
Honestly once the trinity teuv gets voodoo sound it'll be perfect for me. I haven't had a reboot running it in over a month on rasbean jelly

When i was using ICS, it was always with AIR.
Now that i run JB, i began with AIR, and i'm now running Marmite.
I don't really care about battery, but i fond marmite as more stable imo.

Haven't seen a whole lot of Matr1x users here! V. 23.5 has been great. Check out my screen shots! He hasn't been very active updating it but I'm sure he will if there is more active users on his thread.

Thalamus kernel. Sad to see he's stopped developing for the Nexus S

I fear matrix is next up for the development stopping . I know many of us have used and supported matrix since the gingerbread days . It has always been a great kernel and remains a staple for my phone. I believe development for this kernel would continue and surpass all our expectations with continued support from us the community. Sure would hate to lose the matrix kernel also. Just my 2 cents .

You don't need so called constant development of a kernel. All that is for the most part is feature wanking and buzzword dropping.
People are hooked on this weekly update bs from cherry picking people. That just update their crap just for the sake of updating.
When you release a good stable working kernel you don't need or get a thread full of posts and discussion about crashes or what pointless buzzword will be added next.

I prefer matrix for touchwake. I found that in large part, there wasn't much difference for me between marmite and matrix in performance, stability, and battery life. Both were phenomenal. with regard to the "lack of active users" comment, I think the lack of thread activity is due to the kernel being bug free. maths threads have always been quiet for this very reason.
