Ophone very nice!!!!!!!!!!

Click the link and watch this video. It is a video of a phone named oPhone running Android. This phone shows the Power of Android. I searched this and found nothing related to this thread. This is the reason why I gave my iphone to my girlfriend, because I knew what Android will become.

Too bad im not in china.

is that what we are looking forward to in lets say...... 2 years? or is that cupcake? (i havent installed cupcake yet because id rather wait for the official JF version.) can you change the desktop transition into cubeflo like that in cupcake?

No that is not cupcake. Leveno just took the source and made it better, we will not be seeing this on the g1 no time soon. We will probably be seeing this on future faster phones with more memory and better hardware. 2 years? I hope not maybe someone can get the source from the leveno phone and adapt some features to the g1.

1. Too bad Lenovo customized the launcher to look like the iPhone, aka ugly.
2. People, please stop dumping your non development topics in the dev forum!

Ugh, a video of a video of a video.

the best stuff never comes out in the united states first

@@ Most of our china people don't think it's better than Dream or Magic... Honestly, we think it's ugly.

Multitouch in Hero

HTC has announced that Hero will include multitouch support. Since much of their Sense UI is hacked onto Android, this makes me wonder:
Are they exposing an actual multitouch API for Android developers, or are they overloading an unused property (e.g. MotionEvent.size) like Luke Hatch's homebrew multitouch does?

idk
but whatever htc did ..it looks awsome..the ui on hero when its full speed is soo stunning and the mutlitouch is so smooth

Is "full speed" acheivable on a Magic?

Do you guys think its possible to port the rom over to magic? and get the upgraded UI?
Thanks

there is a port
from nk02 but its a little buggy and alot of the features are missing but htc said theyre gonna make the updates available to htc devices running android..so if you plan on getting that samsung youre sol if you want rosie..that is until the brilliant minds here port it

Some magics (vodafone branded ones) have less RAM than the hero.
HTC's CEO stated that they're going to slap the sense UI on an existing HTC, which will probably be the sapphire

actually if you flash the nk02 hero rom
it has multitouch

HTC has announced that the sense UI WON'T be avaliable to t-mobile and vodafone users since the whole google issue they have, they didnt say anything about the "other" htc branded phones like rogers but m assuming updates will be avaliable to those.

Once the Hero is out, we'll have it on our device.. no needs to wait for "official" HTC releases for the Google's branded phones, this is XDA-developers!

I cant help but feel that I have been somewhat cheated by Vodafone for the less ram issue, they pulled a fast one on us. If this is what stands between me and the new Sense UI, then i can tell you that we have not only been robbed by Vodafone but by HTC as well. With the money I spent on this phone, the new Ui is the least they can do.

Thats what i like to hear. I cant wait until this day comes to try it out.

Not a single one of these replies has been relevant or on-topic.

nobody knows
what they did

Shipping HTC EVO 4G ROM released into the wild

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
dont know if this is useful to us or not....

why is that an .exe file?

Yea, I also don't believe this is much use to us with the Desire ROM being out. Sense 2.1, is always Sense 2.1, unless Sprint made some modifications.

HTC phones on sprint(that I know of) use EXE files to install or update a rom its an app that puts the phone in bootloader mode to flash the device. looks fishy but its legit.
Both 2.1 update for the samsung moment and HTC Hero were EXE files not .img files

I could careless about sprint. I hate them

Doesn't this ROM include 720p video recording?

If they can port this over to HD2 I might have to say good bye to my N1.

why would you want this on an hd2? the evo is a better phone, just go get it instead.

The format looks similar the windows mobile updates.
If I knew the drivers would work with the HD2 I would flash it.
... yeah I've got an HD2 paper weight ... After owning a Nexus ... what was I thinking.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Thanks for using your head.

Now if anyone extracts 720p video recording and wifi access point tethering app (although the latter is probably sprint only) That'd be sweet.

Why does that say Supersonic? Isn't that a different phone?

saying the HD2 had android so you could compare apples to apples... The N1 is still better, the screen maybe smaller, but its brighter and cleaner looking with the amoled screen... everything else is the same

I have both and I will say Android on the HD2 would rival the NExus One nicely.

my tmobile rep said the name "supersonic" was dropped at one of his conference calls. I would wait for an Evo-like device to drop on a GSM sometime soon (T-mobile).

Come on guys...stop talking stupid crap. I've been hunting the forums trying to figure out if an android cook is coming for hd2, and all i keep seeing are you so-called 'experts' saying things like:
"why would you want android on hd2, buy such-and such"
"wait for the next GSM phone from Tmo"
Well, WHAT THE HELL MAN? Where's the pioneering spirit of the developers I know and love?? Where's the desire to rise to the challenge of porting to a WinMo phone??
There are many T Mobile customers out there who are being offered a good upgrade discount to get an HD2. Why would we all just abandon that and run off to get an unlocked whatever for $500??? Shut up on that please...
Second, no one's waiting for the next anything. What's the point of waiting? No matter what phone you get, it'll be obsolete in 12 months anyway...
SO SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE GET CRACKIN ON AN ANDROID ROM FOR HD2!!!!!!!! Many HD2 owners have already said we'll pay for it...someone will make some money...
And someone in here PLEASE put up a LINK to anything about HD2 android stuff...
geez, XDA is going to the dogs ...seriously though, it was never this hard to get help when the G1 came out (and spare me the obvious "G1 was made for Android" drivel)...

HTC Confirms Sense 3.0 Update for Desire S

Great News for all Desire S & Incredible S Owners, HTC SENSE 3.0 Update is Coming
HTC Customer Support
Due to the high request we can confirm today, that our HTC Desire S and Incredible S models will receive the Sense 3.0 update in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned!
Please show your support by liking our new Customer Support Page!
~ HTC, Quietly Brilliant
Link for Facebook Page

this is really.. oh my god yea!

Fingers Crossed for an unlocked bootloader with the SENSE 3.0 update

This facebook page has been reported as being fake

comments are epic desire hd hardware is too bad for sense 3.0
don't we have same hardware like desire hd? lol

Apart from the obvious when, another question is how much of the Sense v3.0 will we get? ported ROMS have shown our hardware is capable of running the full Sense v3.0, will they agree?

they wrote we get sense 3.0, in the comments the wrote desire hd get PARTS of sense 3.0
so i guess we will get... full sense 3.0

WHAT!!!Is it a good news? It is quite laggy using Incredible S with sense 2.1,I don' t think it can handle sense 3.0
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

It's all a marketing strategy by HTC, to promote & sell new devices. For them DHD is old enough and perhaps achieved it's required sales quota. :S

this is really great news
cant wait for the update

Nice indeed. They probably made a customer support FB account so that people can vent there instead of the HTC page.

Really not sure about this, my Desire S goes really smooth now, and from what i`ve seen from the dual core Sensation is that it`s lagging a bit. Also with the same amount of RAM i`ve got 360 MB free from a cold boot and the Sensation only got 190 MB free.

i had it running on desire hd with 1ghz (not overclocked) and it didnt lagged at all, it was running beautiful
mojav: don't compare it, sensation got higher screen resolution => more work for cpu/gpu

It's still is a great news

Well, hopefully the update will happen by the end of this month. Now i don't know whether i need to root my phone or not........... Sense 3.0 was the thing that pushed me off the edge. Now, since i'm getting is without Root, why risk bricking my phone??

Well i hope they will add tweaks with the sense 3... if they do that then we dont have a real reason to root the phone

Why go for a fake page? just to generate fans!!! that's implausible & totally not worth it, also they are advertising on HTC Official page, didn't they think it through that their cover will be blown before they know it!? I believe they are genuine & belongs to HTC..

I'm also not sure whether this page is genuine or not but regardless, I "LIKE"d it on FB. I'm busy for the next 2 weeks, and I'll wait to see if it's just a stupid sham. I'm pretty sure there will either be news on the Sense 3.0 update, or an announcement by HTC saying the page is fake. If it's the latter, then XTC Clip, here i come !!
EDIT: This may seem stupid, but i think that creating a fake page and telling fans that there will be a Sense 3.0 update seems a nice way of getting one for real. Think about it - fans see the post and get hope, soon there's a post on the official page saying that his was fake, and before you know it, there's thousands of angry protesters spamming HTCs wall. Sound familiar??

Android 4.0 update to be released soon (before 1st of March)

According to @HTC_NL, the sensation range of devices will receive the ICS update soon (before the 1st of March). On the 1st of March an ice white sensation will be released in Holland.
Link here (it's in Dutch of course): http://www.whizpr.nl/persberichten/8268

Article from tweakers.net (source):
HTC provides users of the Dutch Sensation, Sensation Sensation XL and XE soon an update to Android 4.0 ICS. On March 1 also appears that a white Sensation Android 4.0 already installed.
To update existing devices called HTC no period, the manufacturer has only said that "soon" will take place. The update was on the air offered to users. It is still unclear whether the devices with the update to ICS also immediately be provided with Sense 4.0.
About new features in Android 4.0 version of HTC Sense is still little known, HTC has just announced that shortcuts at the bottom can be adjusted by the user. Recently there appeared images of the new version of Sense, showed that the appearance, colors and screen animations differ from both Android 4.0 and the current versions of Sense.
HTC Sensation spent the last year in June from 2.3 with Android. Last autumn there were the Sensation XE and XL on the Sensation. The Sensation runs on a Qualcomm MSM8260 dual-core SOC running at 1.2 GHz. The GPU is an Adreno 220. The phone has a 4.3 "LCD with a resolution of 960x540 pixels. The camera has a maximum resolution of 8 megapixels and shoots video at 1080p with 30fps.
The manufacturer will this spring, next to the white Sensation, presumably releasing new models. These will most likely at the Mobile World Congress telecommunication fair, which takes place later this month in Barcelona, ​​are presented

Nevermind, HTC has clarified that the phone will be coming with 2.3 and will be upgradeable to 4.0 ... lame.

This would be awesome, as they would release kernel sources with this phone which might be compatible with the original Sensation/Sensation XE... which would allow better custom kernels for ICS which is the only thing wrong with [email protected] at the moment! (apart from the *few* minor bugs )

I wont hold my breath that it will be soon
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

There will be not ICS on 1 March, on XE White. R u blind all? Read!
Update: HTC just wrote us to say that its original press release was incorrect — it'll actually ship with Android 2.3 and be upgradeable to 4.0 down the road, just as its other Sensation versions will be. In other words, don't expect an ICS-equipped Sensation on March 1st... but you can expect a white one with Gingerbread. Furthermore, the white Sensation is already available in select markets, so the PR is simply announcing its upcoming availability in Benelux. Now, the question becomes: how much longer is the wait for the upgrade?

Yes how retarded of people not pre-emptively predicting an updated article.
Take a chill pill.

Im seriously not impressed with the way HTC are masking ICS, AOSP ICS is a beautiful thing, so can sense be, but htc have gone about it all wrong with sense 3.6 and 4, I think im steering away from HTC slowly but surely, and can almost guarantee that I will be going AOSP ICS when it is stable!

Oh man, there is 3 threads about "1 march ics", and one opened after 1st etc... noone sees that article is updated? Or even that some thrads r arleady open with updated information? Please...

You can say that again...
I like sense functionality, unlike its skining...it would be nice if they keep sense with AOSP design...

I like the ROM's that are already out there, and as posted above as soon as AOSP is stable I'll be going to that.
On the other hand I wonder what's taking HTC so long, we have devs that do this for fun and they're releasing great ROMs and here you got a major company that you would think have lots of professional devs that do this for a living and they take forever.

A chef here has to make a rom which is pre made and stable and tweaks it. If it works for 99% of the users it's good. Htc has to release a rom which work for 100% of the users.

You forget that it isn not just a phone software that they need to update and polish, they need to sort out all cloud services that their ecosystem is all about (eg facebook for HTC, watch, hub, likes etc).
I would rather wait a few weeks to get a finished product, than have unpolished system that has memory leaks or whatever...
You forget that average user doesn't want to mess with rooting and flashing and they even don't know about that alternative (and/or care) so they cannot and will not flash new "xda" software when official rom "breaks"...

Very true, didn't think about that.

well, you can press thanks button so i can open new thread sooner

hope they release it soon..
I and my wife have an rooted firmware now.
but somethimes the phone reboots...
i don't care, but the wife don't like it hehehe.
