We knew we could trust HTC, and in fact after the already announced devices a second round is ready to be unveiled and we can already tell you about it.
In fact, thanks to a reliable internal source, we received information about an April release of Android 4.0 with HTC Sense 3.5 for the HTC Desire S, Desire HD and Incredible S. The three devices will receive the new firmware on different days during the month, and will follow the upgrades of the Sensation family (confirmed for February) and the EVO 3D (early March).
Thanks HTC for being always ahead listening to its customers and updating the most devices and not just the top ones.
yeahhhhh!!!!
if you like it press thank you
ps.capy i saw your Thank you...please help us (no more off topic)
Thank you for the news. It's nice to know that our DHDs will continue to receive support from HTC. (Although I know our lovely devs are keeping the home fires burning!)
Maxy
nice! cant wait to see this release of ics. finally have some of the bigger issues/bugs worked out of the roms on xda with this, if the devs don't get to it first!
Not really suprising. Because every android phone should get at least one update in the future. If the take a look at Desire S, it shipped with gingerbread, and because of that it must get at least one update. And because more or less Incredible S or Desire hd hardware is identical, its easy to port to these phones too.
Maybe it's the last update, buy our dev's on xda are the best and we get all updates after the last one.

Timing is fine for me...
I see a lot of notes in recent app changelogs about fixing things for ICS - one thing is the ROM, but all the apps need to be stable too.
Pleased about the confirmation all the same.
so good for my dhd
like sense
thx
This is good news! I think this will give me enough updates until the end of this year, when I can pick a new phone Including working camera and stuff.
i have unlocked my bootloader through htc and want to flash this rom but cant seem to figure out how to do it. Any help or directions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Oh and if you want iPhone go for miui lol...fairolay though its pretty good just not for me

So great to hear

Shame about including sense.
Just makes it slower and with less memory available.
Get your costum ROM and that's it.
Why should HTC release an official ROM without "HTC" Sense?

So why you bought a sense device?

Guys, this a now help thread for ppl that couldn't post in the dev section yet, so if ur a new xda member , don't hesitate to ask questions here
To be honest I think one of the only things the community of the Legend is still waiting for is ICS with working wi-fi/gps/HWA. And since you can't really port that's not going to be great. But we got lots of Froyo/Ginger choices already...
well i'm eagerly waiting for a working cm9,both because it's ICS and CM. i'm very pleased with cm roms,so i tend to stick to them, but i'm open viewed and would take any rom,if no other reason then just for fun and for testing.
thansk for the offer
Is it possible to have a combination of Vanilla + Sense, like SuperVillainZ ROM found across the more popular HTC devices?
CM9. 2.2 & 2.3 are fully covered.
Thanks for the opinions guys

cool, ill see what i can do, mate, im actually still using the Legend, its my first Android phone and i love it its what got me into android and dont wanna waste it, im using both phones now
Senseless, speedy ICS with WiFi working.
ICS won't be made available as the Legend does not have enough RAM (384MB), the Adreno 200 is aged, and MSM7227 won't have enough CPU power to run it. We already have enough Froyo/Gingerbread ROM's for this phone. Is it a great phone? Yes. However, there are quite a few newer HTC phones that the devs are putting their time and energy into. Don't contradict me about the chinese ROM going around. As long as the devs can't find the appropriate driver modules for the WiFi, BT, and GPS, it's not worth using.
Maybe a MIUI port? Now MIUI is open-source, so I think that it's possible
Im gonna see what i can do, i think ill start with a very clean cm7, but ill work my way thru. Cheers for the opinions guys !!!
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Kay, ive decided. Imma name it Extreme Legend Fuse, its gonna be based on latest stable version of CM7. Theres no use of making an ICS if it wont work properly as we have no ICS sources specifically for the
legend From HTC. No use. I dont wanna make a rom which wont work.
Im gonna keep updating u guys with news on fuse (WOW that rymes lol)
So this is gonna be a custom version of CM7
Stay tune for more info on Fuse

A lil bit of an info on the upcoming fuse
- default launcher is LauncherPro
- Might include CM9 music player

Hey guys, i live over in the Mytouch 4g forums, and i am part of Team Inferno. I am a Rom/Kernel/Modding dev on Team Inferno and we want to branch out and support other devices. I made a sense 4.0 mod that will increase battery life an performance greatly, it can be used on any Sense 4.0 running HTC devices but i need testers to...test it haha. My mod adds governors without modifying the kernel.
Positions that i am looking for
Head Tester- Will get get the results from the other testers and send them back to Team Inferno, you will also test
Tester- Just test stuff
Thanks for all your help and you'll definetly get credit!!!

You'll be doing ICS roms, right now, i am working on Sense 4.0 mods so use your choice of rom for that, ill pm you more info. Are you available to immediate testing?
I am.
Just be patient. Im still not used to the terminology/abbreviations you guys use (not that you have used any yet)
Just for you to have an idea. It was only last night I came across more or less how to work adb. Or something like that. Just lemme know how to install the mod.
If you need a logcat, point me in the right direction of getting you one.

Well after playing with the galaxy note i bought for my gf a few days ago, i decided i couldn't take it any longer so i went to phones 4 u and asked what they could do for me. They have paid what i had left on my contract 7 months early for me and given me a galaxy s2 for free on a £20.50 p/m orange contract.
Not a bad deal i don't think.
I'll still pop in every now and then though as i still have a wildfire at home and dont want to get rid of my introduction to android, thanks to everyone that has shared anything i used and for teaching me how to get the best out of my phone.

I was just about to post another thread but oh well
Yesterday I received my HTC One S on contracts, 25.92 p/m for 12 months, 260 or something upfront.D) I've always loved Willy, he is the best legend to date and I don't think I can sell him
Being with Willy has been a rollercoaster, I learnt about rooting through it, my first two roots were with two Wildfires. I couldn't take Sense anymore, so I got CM7, and then eventually we got CM9!! (Well done to Erwin, if I can find his donation link I will most definitely donate)
I'll still hang around on the CM9 thread and a few others, though now I'll mostly post on the One S forums, hope to see you guys there

Congrats! See ya around on the S2 section!

Thanks everyone and Congrats on the one s mate, hope you enjoy it as much as i am the s2. I thought id wait a little while before rooting but ended up rooting it today, its a bit confusing reading all the info but i ended up doing it in 3 and a half minutes without even touching my pc........
First flashed temp cwm from stock recovery, then flashed supersu to get root, after that boot into recovery and flashed siyah kernel. Full cwm, root and plenty of tweaks to play with. Just need to decide on a Rom now.
Oh...... The note is a real beast of a phone, hope you have big hands our lass doesn't.

Thanks everyone and scratch, I haven't managed to root mine yet - we don't have Revolutionary yet, and I'm scared if I root it using HTCDev they won't take my phone in for service if I ever need it. And there aren't many ROMs, most are Sense 4.0 based, except for the Alpha 10 CM9 port!

Anyway, if you're after the big display, you won't regret. And be sure to read all the stickies and guides before trying to flash anything
I enjoy mine very much and I hope you'll be happy with yours as well!
p.s. If you purchase a case, make sure it's a "magnet free" one - many users (incl. myself) complained of S-pen interference from the magnet of the case.

Should't even think of trying the Note.
1. The real big screen will make your eyes taking more time in looking around it.
2. Its vividness will hurt your eyes.
3. You will not be welcome by stationery shop just because of the S-pen.
4. USB drive connecting ability allow you too much flexibility. This may force you to even carry a mouse everywhere with you just for doing something requiring such high precision on the Note.
5. It may waste lots of your times playing high-end HD games due to its too much CPU power.
Don't go for the Note please ^^

To the OP: Do read all the stickies as somebody already said. Flashing is NOT hard on the note, it just requires you to know what you are doing; once you read all the stickies carefully and thoroughly, am quite sure you would know what to flash, what not to and how to flash. Cheers!

Is it too different than flashing other phones?
Like, flash a recovery then copy zip and apply update?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using XDA Premium HD app
the principal is the same yes, But however there is a major bug in the stock ICS kernel(s) can that cause hardbrick (brickbug) when doing a factory reset.
So long as you flash a safe kernel before hand you will be fine, Just read the guides and if you have any issues / questions, dont be afraid to ask.
Also check my Signature for real time IRC chat.
It's confirmed. Will get mine today after work. Got it for about 400 dollars, on my carrier points program.
The only problem I may have will be with kernels?

There's some stickys in development section:
Dr ketans to do with flashing stock roms, and a separate one for rooting and installing cwm.
Another on the superbrick or emmc bug affecting most ics kernels. Includes information on safe kernels that have had emmc format bug removed.
Those are the main ones to get you started.

Paranoid on this beast is awesome. If you go for paranoid, I'd recommend using v0.2a rather than 0.3, there's a couple of issues with gps and mms on 0.3. Imilka (the dev has said he's working on an update and he's usually pretty sharpish so think 0.4 will be out v soon.

My note is Thailand version. There's nothing to be worried as long as you're not running yourself into hacking stuffs though I did once and even I did the famous frightening FactoryReset! when I was on Rooted Stock ICS after stuck in booting loops because of playing with VM Heap size tweak (set it below 64m will trigger this, so be careful).
I survive the night and day because of lots sharing in this forum. I learned how to do flashing ROM with Odin and other fearful stuffs I've never even though I would have need to get through it.
So, I recommend you just try using it, as it is first since pre-installed ICS may have something different, with 3 to 5 days/full recharge cycles and then let see any of what will be bothering you.
To have 14+ hours battery life on my Note with normal use (3G/Wifi all times, note taking, Facebook..etc..and of course the XDA app) running stock ICS, I did;
- Rooted
- Battery calibration
- SetCPU profiles
- Leave the SD Card slot empty
- Off auto screen brightness
- Manually control screen brightness, 30% to minimum values are good enough to my eyes
- OFF auto Hovering pen icon (ON only when I really need)
- OFF Screen Capture service (ON only when I really need)
- Freeze un-needed services
It's hard to identify which tweak saves how much % battery life, there are just cumulative tricks from my little experience. Lots of last tweaks are done by TB.
