Devs bringing ics? - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

If the sensation or any other HTC device with similar specs get some kind of ics, will the development port it? I'm planning on trading for this device from the sensation

Bottom line is one way or another we will have ICS...port or official...this phone is too new and powerful not to get on the list..

sounds legit, it's the uk release date of the galaxy nexus

Once source is released, how long do you guys think it would take to port? I am eagerly waiting!!

considering we still don't have stable aosp or cm7 i'd say quite a while

Android 4.0 source is being pushed to GIT, right now.

Hope it's not another Froyo debacle like with the MyTouch 3G and 3G Slide...

Its possible the devs just thought it was a waste of time with ics around the corner. We've got a powerhouse phone here, we will get our share of attention.

The @htc Doubleshot has been on the market for months and still no GPL sourcecode is available. That's just awful.
Finally someone big in dev community has taken notice.

Cause the mytouch Line is there flagship and they want to keep there phones stock. Idk. Who knows at this point. The sensation had source code within a month. This phones in Its almost 3rd month and we got nothing. Someone is holding it back, Im leaning toward tmobile. :shrug:

That's bs. There needs to be like an hour where people just call and blow HTC up with demands for the Kernel source. I mean, they've got to release it eventually correct?
If I remember correctly it did take awhile for the 3G slide as well. Definitely BS when Samsung has already released the source for the Galaxy S II across the board.

Simple
CM3 = 1.5
CM4 = 1.6
CM5 = 2.0/2.1
CM6 = 2.2
CM7 = 2.3
and since phones didn't get honeycomb, which is 3.0, we'd get 4.0, so it'd be CM9

Since the CyanogenMod #s don't line up with the Android #s, and there's not a CM8 for Honeycomb*, I'd put good money on CM8 being ICS.
*If I'm not mistaken, Honeycomb was never open-sourced from Google?
Is the MyTouch4g and MT4gs based on the 3g models likely to get an OS update from Tmobile? Or is the only way to expect ICS tools to go the custom rom route?
Thanks in advance.

Agreed!
By the time the 2.2 update for the mt3gs came out, there had already been a leaked version of the rom on xda that was EXACTLY the same...

Its worst than that... CM numbers are worse than retarded.
Major version should be UPSTREAM VERSION.
CM9?
Should be versioned as android-4.0-X.cm.arch
Screw the CM version, it is MEANINGLESS.
X being the specific build number for android-4.0.
CM is not a fork, it is downstream, and those arrogant SOBs should accept it.

Android 4.0

Soooooo, ever since the release of the nexus galaxy sporting the new adroid 4.0, i wondered, will we get the update, and if not, is there a way to replicate the look of the deivice theme wise,i love the way it looks!
HTC has not confirmed nor denied the Inspire will be getting ICS. I'd bet not, and if we do it will take a LONG time, or one of the devs here will port it.
In the mean time, if you head over to the Android Development and Hacking section, and check out the Android Themes sub-forum there are a lot of different launchers and themes with ICS flavoring.

I agree with him on the themes portion. There are MANY themes that are ICS, and many of them work well, and look VERY smooth.
Concerning ICS and the HTC Inspire. Looking at the specifications of the Galaxy Nexus, the Inspire has the internal components that can handle ICS. The processor for the Inspire is faster than the Galaxy, and so on. The only difference between the two is that the Inspire has dedicated soft keys on the home screen, whereas the Galaxy Nexus will have the home screen buttons as part of ICS itself.
Also, after talking to HTC, they're currently looking into how they can roll out ICS updates for as many phones as possible. I also read somewhere that most of, if not all, 2.3 phones WILL receive the update. Until then, continue looking at the forums and wait until a recognized developer ports to Inspire. Hope this helps!

Not sure where you got your information from but this isn't even close to be correct.
But, I'm sure we will see ICS on the Inspire fairly soon after Google releases the source. Whether its from the CM team or a different dev.

I wish all we had to worry abut was when HTC was gonna release it but we have to wait for ATT as it will be them that finally releases an official release for our phones. It may not happen and we will have to use a port from the DHD which only has to wait for the HTC
thank yoiu alll! and i didnt know we could go to the general android theme section and use themes from there lol, i thought we had to use the themes in our designated section only

That's a bummer. I've got 2 years before I can upgrade again. Its going to be a long wait.
Well they're already working on a port for the dhd, but I've heard that it doesn't work on the inspire but there's still a very good chance that we'll get sometime in the near future.

ICS Confirmed for Early 2012

https://www.facebook.com/notes/htc/...pgrades-to-ice-cream-sandwi/10150518462703084
We are getting ICS early 2012
darn, that's so far away... :/
i hope the xda community will provide a working one earlier than that.
Thanks to the sense interface wich is mostly adapted by google in ICS HTC needs to rewrite everything and we are getting delayed updates.
Pretty bothersome actually
Good News! Hope that there is no delay this time!
due to Gargle releasing source in the next weeks we'll get to experience ICS AOSP goodness via CM9 before the official HTC update.
CM9 is going to take a while too to be released for Sensation even after AOSP gets the new source....maybe we get a build around Christmas?
Awesome! Thanks for posting Def will not root now.
very exciting for us Sensation users.

Why do people make excessively optimistic posts like this? We've had CM7 for roughly 2 months now and it's still in the alpha stage. If it takes them this long to build a ROM for the Sensation on a version of Android that was around for long before the Sensation came out, why would it be any quicker for them to build a ROM for the Sensation on a new version of Android?
Maybe because cm7 is not officially supported for sensation and cm9 might be?

CM7 will be official on the Sensation, but before it can be folded into the "Nightly Builds" it needs to get out of Alpha status.
Why would CM9 be quick? Because unless I missed something *huge* Google did not change how the drivers work, which are going to be the same (more or less) as they are in CM7.
So if CM7 works, CM9 won't take much to make work.
Simple.

[Q] we ever getting ICS

Is te HTC Inspire gettin ICS?
sent from something called...i think its a computer...not sure
As of right now, the Inspire is supposed to get ICS, but it is still up for debate. I bet there will be ICS ports though, so we will get it one way or another
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I thought HTC denied the Inspire would get ICS
Unless they denied it within the last week, it is still floating in limbo. Some say the HTC Ace and Stallion,which are the code names for DHD and Inspire, should receive ICS
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Even if the inspire doesn't get an official update to ICS there will be a custom rom
I don't think there will ever be an official release. We may get a newer gingerbread upgrade since the last on bites, but development for the inspire leaves us with better roms than stock anyway. I bet there will be a better more stable release through xda before ics ever hits officially for the inspire, but I don't think it ever will. I emailed HTC and asked if we would be getting ics or any other upgrades and they said they are working to make the experience better for the inspire but do not have anything in the works currently. This lead me to beleive they are long past worrying about the inspire. We will probably not even get a better gingerbread build imo.
HTC already released the list of devices that are getting ICS, Inspire4g/desire hd not in it.
Sorry.
If it doesn't we will still get it with ports from other devices... and of course cyanogen so no worries man

Yeah i saw it somewhere it wasn't the complete list, but i find it hard to believe an 1 year old phone get the second update of its existence; the phone is technically 1 year old, considering its a variation of the DHD (released in september '10 I believe)
Sure i hope for a ICS release.

It wont matter really what HTC releases. It will be up to ATT to release a build built for the inspire or the best we can hope for is a port from the DHD. ATT normally has done a One OS update per device and thebinspire got theirs already. Hope I am wrong but history says I am not.
+1 for zelendel's post.

That's entirely up to whom ever wants to port it over or if it will be officially supported by the CM crew. They have been really good about supporting the MyTouch 4G for a long time now so I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't an official release for us over here.
