Ice Cream Sandwich for more HTC smartphones coming in April - Desire HD General

http://www.247smartphone.com/mobile/breaking-ice-cream-sandwich-for-more-htc-smartphones-coming-in-april-25642012.html
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.

In relation to roms. If you want fully functional try roms like runny 4.0,arhd..erbeus for sense etc...for standard android with tweaks black ice..absolution etc etc there are loads I've flashed virtually all by now lol
Oh and if you want iPhone go for miui lol...fairolay though its pretty good just not for me

I was just going to post exactly the same news...

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?

Sounds good, but would this be for a wildfire, I am really keen to update to the latest version of Gingerbread and I am annoyed there is nothing official and this is why I am wondering whether this kind of rom might be suitable or whether I should try the wildfire s leaked version, and I am keen to help test when things get going if it would help.

lets see how much time it takes for the porting of sensation rom to nexus one.

I hope someone can port it to our n1
Here's an easier download, the chinese one isn't the easiest to navigate.

i love my nexus as much as anyone, but folks, it's time to get a new phone if you want dev results. nobody cares about it now, and with the sensation, g2x ,etc coming out, it's going to be further in the dust. i may keep it just as a token of the first great android phone, or i may sell it, but the sensation is my next phone.
this rom dump is f'n HUGE lol look at that file size, i don't think it could ever make it onto the n1, and if it did it'd probably be slow as dirt.

[Not officialy confirmed yet] HTC Sense 3.0 with Android 2.3.5 on HTC Desire HD

Hello everyone.
As many of you have already heard, Desire HD is getting an update of the "new" old Sense 3.0 with newest android 2.3.5 as our developers got its LEAK of an official system.
As many DHD users don't use costum roms and their DHDs are still chained in prison (not rooted) this may be a giant step up for their devices.
About the release, do you think its final? Will they port out what we already got on xda from our beloved hard-working developers?
When do you guys think we can expect that new stuff OTA?
Some youtube video of the new system: HERE
A lot of people still havent rooted their DHD? Where do you see those stats? Id be interested in giving that a look-see.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
well i dont know why they launching 3.0 sense to DHD if they already said that 3.5 sense is gonna be in old devices.. so why not jump to 3.5 sense better?
I have the ARHD 6.1, based on the last leak with sense 3.0. The Rom feels final, I mean everything work fine and the speed is increased over the previous Rom. I think they had spent more time to optimize sense 3.0 on single core and released it too close with sense 3.5 devices. The autor of the ARHD thread says that OTA will roll out in a month.
He also says that the surprises for dhd users aren't finished but I don't know what he mean.
Sorry for my bad English.

There are many out there that don't even know XDA, not a majority tho, but anyway, this update can make their phones kinda "new" again
like we get our "new" phone almost everytime we flash some new rom or something at least I get that feeling many times
PISS!
Is there any new info about "official sense 3.0 leak"? I'm so impatient about this new update. I hope so it will be available within this month via OTA.

I hope there will be an update and soon, my device isn't rooted(problems with goldcard) and i really want to upgrade.
In my opinion, desire hd will get Sense 3.5 too. It is much more smoother (for example Bliss port) and faster than 3.0 so why not?

Not saying that it will or won't, but the reason they might not is purely for marketing. Either way, as long as it is released on a device with a WVGA display, there shouldn't be any problems. That said, I think Sense 3.5 is a real disappointment, it doesn't have that unique HTC feel to it. I guess only time will tell...!
It would be nice to have it but i don't think it's needed. Well for me anyway since i use go launcher. Don't care if they stop updating Sense, its when they stop updating Android that i will have to root my phone and use up to date ROMs. Not need for the root until then.
Not officialy confirmed because the leak version is only a test build... Maybe we wait more time to have an final release ruu

ICS with sense

Hello guys i am new here so excuse me if someone already wrote something about this.
is there any ice cream sandwitch rom with latest htc sense?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
None yet and there may not ever be. There will not be any drivers to hack to make it work as GB only got better because of the Desire source code. Note since that service will not see any more updates then we are out of luck.
Now someone may find a way but for now it's unlikely
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using XDA App
Actually, there will definitely be a ICS ROM with sense. But you will have to wait. The reason being, HTC will launch new devices come this Q2 and Sense 4.0 is slated to be running on those devices. Such devices include the Ville, Edge,etc. So when those devices are released at the upcoming GSMA WMC on 27th February. You can expect a port a few days after that since there is bound to be someone posting the dump files and source code. This is how our sense 2.0 and 3.0 ROMs came about on our HD2s and its the only way. Custom building a ICS and Sense ROM from scratch is no easy task and like what chrisrj28 said above, it might not be possible for the devs.
http://m.pocketnow.com/android/leaked-rom-of-upcoming-htc-endeavour-confirms-specs
Here is your answer.its here in xda and it wont be long before u see a hd2 port.when i say it wont be long,i mean its only a matter of days.just wait a bit longer mate
A RUU of ics with sense 4.0 of HTC Endeavour just leaked
Hope this is done soon. There is a port of the Sensation ICS Sense Rom for the myTouch 4G Slide.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
It's good news, cant wait
I hope we must wait a little more, but for me, there are too many ICS roms without Sense in XDA.
I like Sense, so I prefer to wait as long as necessary, instead of install ics non sense plenty of bugs.
If I bought an HTC, I like to watch Sense in the screen, if not, I can have another device, Samsung, LG, Motorola.....
ICS without sense better then 2.3 with sense.

I think the biggest issue is a kernel to boot the sense ICS, and there is no doubt HD2 will be running sense ICS
On Sensation already..
I think we should request some of the HD2 chief chefs need to come together for us... it is here now on Sensation, working .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513055
IMHO hd2 can't stand ics with sense...too heavy!....that's for quad-core devices!! the 2.3 sense is too much for our "old" hardware, too....
even if our fantastic hd2 is the best phone in the world, his hardware is going to be old...I think that it's arrived at the end of its possibilities with ics...
I have the US HD2 and it runs 2.3.5 Sense 3.5 just fine. No major issues at all. Also the HTC One V has specs not too far from the HD2 will be on sense 4.0.

Yeah initial hands on show that Sense 4.0/ICS do not perform as well as the big phones but it is adequate enough. And that is without the mods and customizations that Devs here are capable of.
The biggest issue will be drivers

Help thread ExtremeLegend™ Fuse for ppl who can't post at dev thread yet

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)
