So when do we get ICS?

Not meaning to be impatient, just haven't been around the HD2 fora as much lately, just visited today and am surprised to see that the HD2 Android fora aren't all abuzz about porting ICS to our device.
Is anybody currently working on a port?
Anybody got a rough ballpark type of release date?
I've been running the same ROM on NAND for like the past year, ICS is probably the only thing that could make me consider abandoning what I've got on now

Well, seeing how the source to it won't be available for atleast maybe about a month after the phone's release, it prbly won't be anytime soon.

Oh dang, I thought it had been released already after a YouTube search of ICS showed a couple vids of ppl's phones running it.
My bad, guess I'll just go back to waiting patiently.
Thanks

Take a look at this ROM, it has the launcher

That's only the launcher, not the whole ROM.

There was no need to resize anything from AOSP between 320x240, 320x480, 640x480, 800x480.
ICS came to unify Smartphone and Tablet. If developers need to build a version for Smallscreen and bigscreen, then there goes the point of ICS.

Some users see Sense as the UI it is and call vanilla stock, since technically that would be right. We've had this mixup before

But then what would a "stock" rom look like? I mean, most manufacturers put their spin on Android, Samsung uses Touchwiz, HTC uses Sense...

What strapped is saying is that cm7 would be stock in this situation, as it is stripped of all the added UIs of the phone companies. For example: what the Nexus devices are shipped with is technically stock, then the companies add their UIs and make their own versions of stock for their devices.

It's LG UI sadly. I just saw that their ICS is called LG UI 3.0, disappointing but I guess it doesn't matter.

Oddly enough I'm a Sense UI man. But after using Touch Wiz JB for a while. I really like it :what:

I would still only get the SGS3 or Note 2 if I was gonna get a Samsung. Those are the only ones that look any good.

looking for aokp mod to display date in status bar (or ROM recommendation)

I'm looking for a mod for official AOKP or something similar that will allow me to display the date in the status bar along with the clock (as far as I can tell, AOKP lets you show day of the week, but not the whole date).
I know there are other ROMs that will allow this, but if possible I'd like to go with AOKP because I'm setting this up for my girlfriend and it's fairly easy to use.
Or if there's no mod for official AOKP that'll do this, could you recommend a very stable ROM that's similar to AOKP and very stable? I've never owned a Mako so I'm not familiar with the ROMs for it. I don't want her to have problems because I promised her it'd work just as well as stock, except better.
Thanks very much.

Pac-Man ROM has features from CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, and AOKP.

Pac Man is great, but I want to go with something a little simpler - as close to vanilla AOKP as possible.

Paranoid Android is coming to the HTC One!!!

Hey guys!
According to https://plus.google.com/107979589566958860409/posts/8P9mVptPMF7 PA is coming to our HTC Ones!
I used this rom on my Nexus 4 and I loved it! As I switched to the One due to the lack of LTE on the N4,
I started missing those cool features such as the custom dpi, the pie and most of all Halo! I know there is
P.A.Cman rom, but Halo is not implemented yet..
You guys should definitivly give it a try when it's released. It's simply amazing!

i think there is already a test build in the tmo general section

Ok....NOW I might unlock my phone

Despise and have no use for Halo personally, but I loved PA on my N4. PIE was the best thing ever, only thing that made my N4 tolerable.
That said I don't see myself wanting to use pie now that I have a phone that has buttons again, though I most certainly will give it a whirl.

Same here. It's difficult to get excited about AOSP when Sense (with Xposed dpi mods) is nowadays so damn good.

Still love this on my Nexus 7 but there is no way I'm losing sense on my HTC one... Is too good
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I do love Sense 5 but tbh, I never use the features that it offers over AOSP and I always find that AOSP has WAY more productive features on the custom ROM side then Sense ever will, obviously its opinionated and as I said Sense 5 is awesome! But I prefer AOSP ROM's just due to simple things like Halo or even just the stock messaging app and stuff.

Aren't there already PA roms for the One?

There are roms that have incorporated parts of pa 3.15 but that's about it. Can't wait for the full fledged version/3.5/HALO

All you guys can head over to the other thread in the general section and test it out for the dev!

I will definitely use PA & I'm totally exited and will even donate towards its development, but won't participate in the poll as it uses a word I don't like to use in its present context.

I like Sense 5, but the one thing that stops me from using it is that it doesn't support landscape on the desktop. Super aggrivating. The apps that will allow you to force landscape aren't good at all for Sense either.
