So I was reading a blog about future upgrades for phones and saw no mention of our beloved MyTouch 4G. Any thoughts? http://m.blogs.computerworld.com/18077/android_23_upgrade_list

Android 2.3 Upgrade List: The Rest of the Phones
If a phone isn't listed here -- like the original Motorola Droid, for example -- it's likely because there just isn't much clear info available yet about its fate. Odds are, we'll soon be hearing more and more details with each passing week.

There have been some reports of HTC reps saying we will have an update, and the site says they do not have info on all phones
I think the fact that the myTouch phones use the stupid, TMO customized version of Sense means OS updates will be slightly delayed compared to other phones that use more common user interfaces (only the myTouch phones use "mySense", but there are lots of HTC phones that use regular Sense). That being said, it would be shocking if a phone with hardware as powerful as the MT4G has doesn't get a 2.3 update, or even 2.4 if that comes out eventually.
Shocking yes, but typical in the logic of big business? Not at all.

1) Do you really want an update from t-mobile?
2) If the G2 gets it, my guess is the MT4G would follow - considering the hardware similarities.
3) CyanogenMod7>Any OTA from T-Mobile.

The vast majority of MT4G's and in fact all Android phones are not rooted. Although most XDA users don't want an OTA, most users of the MT4G would benefit from it. Also, the development community can benefit from a 2.3 OTA because of kernels and drivers that are Gingerbread compatible specifically made for our device, that we don't currently have.

If CM7RC4 is as good as it is now, image what will happen if we get the official drivers, and various protocols.
as much as i like AOSP ROMs i'd love to see some HomeBaked goodies using the real deal.
And i know TeamRoyal would cook up some mighty good stuff as well.
Yeah it would deff be nice to see ASOP for us,that would open up so much for us.
If the g2 gets it, and they release kernel source, it wont matter if we get an official version or not.
Ive never like stock, stupid crap i didnt need, slow, and built how they want..Cm7 has everything i need. But if the mytouch 3g got froyo, dont see why this phone, which started at 2.2.1, wont see gingy.
humm... when the ginger comes out i bet the honey based custom will also be out. i take the honey then
man... im hungry
2.3
The MT4G will in fact be getting 2.3
We're definitely getting 2.3............ Multiple sources confirm!
great newss

I was just wondering about the speed of development of the Infuse Roms? And i mean no offence to the developers here because I know you all work very hard for us and there is some awesome roms here. Its just that i come from the HTC HD2 (one of the best phones ever made) forum and there is a new ROM or a Rom update like every day and for a flash addict "like me" thats great! So I was was wondering is it because the Infuse is just not that popular or is it that its new technology or? Do we think it will pickup when they release Ginger bread or? And Thank You for your hard work!!

not too fast right now, i mean not on the infuse rom front. we are dealing with outdated software and honestly a kinda shotty gb kernel for a rogers phone. i think the infuse is not that popular with the elite devs who already worked on the galaxy s and want something new. we still have some great skill with a cm7 bringup that is as functional as any phone with our bluetooth chip. the amazing thing about it is that it is almost all done by one dev. the cm team isnt woring on it as far as i know.
fortunately if you are a rom junkie the same dev that brought us cm7 also brought us "galaxy helraiser which is a collection of libraries and a few other files (camera app, modem, busybox, kernel) that allows the use of i9000 firmware to run on the infuse with the infuse kernel and modem.bin.
with hellraiser you can sift through the vibrant, i9000 and captivate sections looking for hoards of i9000 gb based roms to flash.

cell radio firmware. it may effect battery life, reception, dataspeeds and other things, right now there is only a few versions and there isnt much difference. but an i9000 modem.bin is for a different radio, it wont work. much like the i9000 kernel wont support the infuse hardware and the libs wont communicate with the infuse kernel and hardware.

I was told by an HTC colleague, Stephanie, yesterday night, via e-mail that my phone, the HTC Inspire 4G (AT&T) would indeed be getting upgraded to the Android 4.0 IceCream Sandwich OS in "Early 2012"

Found on the HTC support site I know that everyone is saying it wont get it due to no dual core but could they somehow optimize it for us? most likely AT&T wouldnt be getting the upgrade because they are lame but what about unlocked inspires? Just wanted to share this with the community

you haven't taken a stroll over to the dev section have you?
ICS is out (beta form) and there really isn't any need for another pointless ICS thread. It's been covered. The inspire will get it. Whether it's an official release from AT&T or not, the inspire has it. end of story.

Yes I have but just because a phone Can run it doesn't mean we will get it As so my friend has the incred. and He most likely wont be getting it but his phone could handle it and there are roms for his phone

Unless ist a custom Rom inspires have about a 5% chance of getting it. If they do get it then it won't be until next winter at least as the inspire has already been deemed EOL by ATT

Besides, officially, the latest we can get from HTC will ne the 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0 that just went out to unlocked Desire HDs over in Europe. That we should definitely see in "Early 2012".

...oh yeah, non-rooted phones because you know, that was stated in the OP how silly of me to not infer this. Like I said and my comment speaks for itself, whether or not we get ICS officially isn't the question, the beta is out, rooted phones will get it. If you or anyone likes ICS that much and needs it, consider getting a phone that will support it non-rooted or just root your inspire if it means that much. Again, another pointless thread about ICS. Nothing has changed, it is still the same information.
AT&T always ends life of a phone after 2-3 updates. They don't support phones for very long because they're more worried about making money from new phones. If they supported their old phones, they'd lose their precious money.

Not only will ICS run perfectly fine on a single core fun (I have Beta IV) it uses less RAM than gingerbread does.
And I know this isn't the right place for it, but because I have no other posts I can't ask in development...
Have any of you guys found an Undervoltable Kernel that will work with ICS?
This really is gonna be a never ending issue. This will always be happening unless you get a nexus or euro unbranded version of the phone. As long as the carriers control the updates we may get one maybe two updates but that will be about it. This has always been and always will be the case
Absolutely love ICS. just waiting for it to be bug free. Unfortunately, I think driver support will be limited unless released by HTC.

Well see thats the thing. HTC nor anyone else has or will ever release the driver source code as it is not theirs to give. This has always been my issue with AOSP roms. the open source drivers just cant stand up to the OEM drivers.
T-Mobile has had leaked ICS Roms for both HTC devices running Sense 3.0. The Sensation 4G, and Amaze 4G. Most people felt like the Amaze would never get the 3.6 Update. But now they have a leaked RUU, bloat and all. Now that a good number of Sense 3.0 devices have an ICS update. I think it's time for the Doubleshot to get a ICS update. The Gingerbread RUU was leaked before this phone came out. I'm sure Football will manage to get a leaked Rom. We have all the proper specs, and I know we have 1 Million plus ICS Update threads. But with all the new updates, come on. It's about time.

I sure hope you're right about this one...
Our phone will literally rocket off for development
Ya... But I just don't see any signs that T-Mobile or HTC is going to release a ROM like that for our phone. Hopefully they do tho!
Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!
Either way, we've been making stunning progress even without an official update.
Have you checked out the sticky on ICS configuration tree in the dev section?
That's some great progress
I encourage anyone who knows anything dev to pop in and see if they can help. It will make cooking roms much easier and also greatly increase our chances of CM support.

Undeadk9 was claiming that he knew a "level 3" tech support at T-Mobile who told him there would not be any ICS for MT4GS. I heard all that sort of crap back when I had a Moto Cliq and the MT3GS, some "friend" in "tech support" telling bullsh*t. No doubt there is a friend, but believing that friend has information that nobody else has is very unrealistic.
T-Mobile updated even the ancient original MyTouch from 1.6 all the way to Froyo 2.2. I don't see them completely abandoning this phone, especially since the hardware is so similar to their other models like the Amaze 4G and Sensation 4G. HTC would only need to incorporate the Genius system.

You just confirmed that you really don't know sh*t. EOL has no bearing on whether a phone receives an update. T-Mobile has updated many phones long after they went EOL in their system. The entire MyTouch lineup, including the original, got updated to Froyo within a few months of each other, LOOOOOOONG after they had all gone EOL.
And what's the crap about no development on this phone? You can't be taken seriously spewing crap like that. Look around, dude. Here and Virtuous are full of dev for this phone.

I threw AOKP in the mix by mistake. Either way, you're missing the point. There are stable (DEFINE: something I can use daily, with features I won't miss - obviously that differs from person to person) ICS roms out there. And if something like autobrightness isn't working, and that's what got you in a hunch, then you need to stick to the stock rom. Honestly I could care less about little quibbles like that.
My point is 95% of what you would need, even on a daily basis is working. And for some roms, it's even more than that. That's pretty outstanding considering we don't even have an official kernel or update.
Honestly, this thread has spiraled into a pointless opinion thread.
I refrain from posting any further.
You may think what you wish
I keep seeing people on here saying "phones with sense 3.0". I hope yall realize that we don't even have a real version of Sense.. its a Rosie/Doubleshot version. I don't see HTC modifying/myTouching the new version of sense and ICS for the doubleshot.

Which is simply your uninformed and unknowing opinion, no more credible than anyone which differs. You claimed to have "inside information", which is pure bullsh*t.
I hope so. None of the custom ICS ROMs are stable, always several things missing or not working that prevent me from using it long term and those ROMs havent been updated in over a month.
Like I've said in several ics threads like this, the mytouch 4g will not receive ics.
Reason being, the mt4g has T-Mobile's sense version(my sense). For the mytouch 4g to be able to receive ics, T-Mobile would have to get rid of their mysense version of sense which they won't do on a T-Mobile specific device or HTC would have to create 2 versions of ics, one compatible with mytouch 4g's mysense and a regular ics for the rest of the devices.
You guys also gotta realize we didn't even receive a sense 3.0 update.
U all keep forgetting that HTC rebranded the phone in canada to the HTC Panache...
So its not only a MYSENSE Tmobile phone
so it is possible that other carriers in canada request that ICS gets on this phone
thats my 2 cents on this subject

Exactly, in Canada. If my memory serves me rights, they didn't even receive android 2.3.4.
But lets say he Canadian version of the mytouch receives ics, the US T-Mobile won't. Again same reason, panache=sense/T-Mobile mytouch 4g=mysense.
Any devs having any luck getting 4g to work on the ics roms? An outside chance or slim n none? Either way thanks.

It's not quite that easy, we don't have a kernel source for ics sense for the shift with working wimax in it.
Does it require a kernel source from an HTC WiMax phone upgraded to ICS first?
I like ICS, but I still use WiMax on my phone on a regular basis.

Actually, according to this post in the Deck ICS beta ROM thread, due to the similarities between the EVO Shift and the EVO Design, we might be able to have WiMax on ICS.

i cant wait for ics with 4g and camera working properly thats what i really want
Is this even being looked into/worked on?
I haven't heard or seen anything from the Shift ROM developers pertaining to WiMAX drivers being cobbled together from the EVO Design leak...
There doesn't seem to be much interest in the Shift ROMs these days
There are roms in the works but what's better. Knowing what's coming and always asking the dev on a eta or waking up one morning and being surprised? Just wait and watch you'd be surprised on our devs

I was surprised when I heard drob mention that they were working on a port of the Design ICS ROM, and even if I get a new phone, I plan on keeping my Shift so I can flash it when it's released.

Really? I wasn't aware; I hadn't seen anything.

I didn't ask for any ETA. I wanted to know if the device had any hope of WiMAX ICS, as it hasn't had it for months. I didn't know if it was "coming" or not since WiMAX has been non-functional on all the Shift ICS ROMs to date. Also, I've been off contract since 2009 so I am getting ICS with working LTE June-ish if the Shift doesn't get a ROM with WiMAX
Just trying to plan ahead a little bit.
I heard that there was also a possibility of LTE on the shift since the radio theoretically supports it? I won't have LTE in my area for a while, but I'm curious as to whether it's still on the table.

There is no possible way for any WiMax phone to have LTE. Even though Clearwire is upgrading to LTE, none of the existing devices will support that capability. I've heard rumors of other WiMax devices that could be upgraded to LTE, but no one has ever given definitive proof that it's possible. I am a member at http://www.s4gru.com, and it has been discussed at many of the early chat sessions over there. It just isn't possible.
