Maybe
I will be porting my AOSP Rom over to the sensation if and when they get the bootloader unlocked. I know I know HTC announced they are not locking the bootloaders no more but the sensation is still gonna be locked until either a dev unlocks it or htc unlocks it which I hope both happen

I'll be keeping a close eye on the sensation.
That said with the mt4g being updated by the great people here I could see myself with this phone for quite a while.
I'm not a gamer or power user so for me it would be for bigger screen and other liitle perks. The battery is a big issue for me.....its going to be a hog.

I hope the Glacier doesn't get abandoned by all our devs when the sensation comes. Im not ready to part with mine yet.

New Sense UI for Legend

Hi... can we get new sense UI too?
No. No we can't.
Nor will we ever. HTC doesn't give a monkey's f**k about updating "midrange" handsets.
Well that's sucks...

Come on guys I think there is a dev who is up to the task....Anything can be ported, right?
So I went and peeked into Desire Development the other day and saw that the new Sense was ported, and I was like "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn".

If our Legend got a 800x480 screen and Armv7 CPU, everything could be much more easier.

[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

hey guys get a htc doubleshot

hey guys ur current phone the g2 is kind of outdated and i think u guys should get a mytouch 4g slide. tmobile is giving out the mytouch 4g slide as a replacement. the mytouch has a cm7 rom, a sense 3.0 rom, multiple ics roms, and recently it got a miui rom released. i really think u guys should consider gettin this phone because it has a keyboard like the g2 and its super fast.
I have a samsung galaxy s2. I have the g2 as a backup phone.

A phone with a little development, or a phone with brilliant development, can port from DHD/DS easily, and officially supported by cyanogenmod and virtuous? Id rather have my desire z

The MyTouch 4G slide seems alright, but I really prefer the professional look and feel of the G2. That's probably half the reason I bought it!

so?
it's still locked on tmobile.
it has much less development.
by now it's not exactly top of the line.
Everything you have mentioned the doubleshot JUST got, we've had on the DZ for months and months before.
Exactly but the doubleshot is gettin more and more roms and its dual core

Jesus, after not being in the General forums for months, coming into this thread was like an moment from Idiocracy.
Or you can just wait for the G3 which half of us will probably jump on, and it will be much better, and a bigger development community?

I think i'd rather run the doubleshot rom. But I'm not going to cause I haz ice cream 4.03 running flawlessly on my g2.

Exactly, I'm holding out for that. Besides, it will be a world phone (other versions of it like the Desire Z vs G2) instead of the MyTouch plasticy models for US specifically. Looking forward to those 2nd (maybe 3rd?) Gen dual cores with significant power saving and GPU upgrades like in the Ville this summer.
What an amazingly useless post.
Hey everyone let's trade in our nice hardware for some slightly less nice hardware with pink graphics...

New to the g2

I unwillingly had to give up my nexus s 4g for my current g2. Thought it would be crap compared to the ns4g. So far my performance at 1.5ghz has been better and I'm actually pretty content. Now to the good stuff..
What's up with ice cream sammich on this thing? I literally feel like I started reading a book halfway through and don't know where to go. Someone fill me in please as I got used to ics and miss it terribly lol

Did your phone come stock with Gingerbread? If so go Here to get back to Froyo, then Here I'm assuming the Gingerbread thread would have you put on CWM of course.
If your phone did not come with the Gingerbread update go Here then back to the 2nd link above.
Thanks dude! Yea I'm fully rooted running cm7 nightly but I'm flashing this right naoh!!

There's no official ICS for the G2/DZ, so right now there are some pre-alpha/alpha quality builds available in the dev forum. We may well never get an official ICS, but our sister phones, the Desire HD and Desire S will be, and there is enough commonality in chipsets to be pretty sure we'll get decent drivers out of those (to vastly improve the current early builds).

First thing, welcome to G2. This is one of the best communities I've seen and the development is plenty!
Second, 1.8!? Hasn't that burned a hole in your pocket? I've been running Andro Alpha 12 at 1.024 and running great.

Need advice on new phone

I have a little dilemma. I have had this my touch 4g for a while now and love it. I am currently rooted running ics on my phone. The fact that I am a flashaholic and it seems lately new things are coming out for this phone every week or so, makes it even better.
My girlfriend just got added to my plan so we ordered a HTC amaze 4g because it was free. And after looking at the amaze section it doesn't seem likes there's much going on.from what I read they are stuck on drivers. Yet the amaze it set to get the official ics update.
All that being said my girlfriend had a flip phone so anything is an upgrade for her. Which phone should I take and which one should I give to her.
Sent from my rootie tootie fresh and fruity using XDA
I keep hearing that they have s-off on the Amaze, but it hasn't been released yet...but that's just what I read on here. I don't know it to be a fact. But I would probably take the Amaze if it were free, because I have found out recently that I don't prefer ICS. Not that I'm knocking mt4g, its still my favorite, but I feel like the Amaze will explode in development soon...

I thought the same thing but then I saw that there isn't even çm7 for the amaze which kind of made me worry about development. Thanks for your reply though
Sent from my My Touch 4G using XDA
Ive heard that the Amaze is a great phone, but time is ticking and the development window is getting smaller by the day. Without development going on currently, people will probably move to a new device sooner.
Just my two cents.
If you want a device for development, go for some thing else like sensation or upcoming one s. If you want a great device that works, go for the amaze.
I got the amaze for my girl and Im switching to it too.
Honestly, if you want great developer support and lots of ROM options, you should go with a Nexus. Be it a nexus S or the galaxy nexus. They tend to have the liveliest dev groups. however, if you are into sense ui, it might not be the best choice.
Forget everything. Go for the amaze. They have s-off.
Amaze is a beautiful powerhouse

The only thing I am worried about from taking the amaze is the battery life

I have been wondering why the Amaze had just about died before it ever lived...its just too nice of a handset to not be customized. Id absolutely rather have it than the OneS
