[Q] Will I eventually have to update firmware? - HTC Sensation

I was wondering will I eventually have to update the firmware if I want to move to ICS in the future? Or is this just something we have to do in these early beta builds?
Its just on my G2 I could flash an ICS ROM just like flashing a gingerbread ROM, and I dont really see why with the sensation its so different...
Thanks

If you want ics on your phone you have to update. If you wait for an ota update HTC will update it for you. That's how HTC works.. ics needs more stuff to boot than gb.. it's easy though to update

Well if your talking about a stock ics, it's much harder to get it ported and done. That's why devs just wait for a leaked update from HTC for our phones specifically. I'm sure after HTC fully releases our final stable(ISH) ics update devs will be able to use that and make a more stable (and BETTER) rom then what HTC has to offer. be patient , if your a true sensation fan than you'll love it once it's here. (hopefully lol)

HTC desire s update to sense 3.0 and 2.3.5

A sry, but where did you find what, a zip to download? If you're still stock you will get fota update from your carrier, if not take a look at the development section, there are many sense 3 roms, also stock ones.
Swyped from my Desire S
Yeah, it's an official build from HTC. But it's not rolled out for all people for now. So you have to wait to get an update notification (depending also on your carrier) or flash it manually. For that give a look into development section. There are prerooted stock roms and also tweaked 3.0 Roms
Of course its safe

What will i have to do to get ICS

Ok guys, I've got the HTC Sensation z710e rooted running sense-o-maniac (all credit to amazing V6-Maniac!) and I was just wondering. When the official ICS update comes out to the UK for my phone will I have to do a factory reset to be able to download it or something because in the Rom there is (quite obviously) no option to search for updates from HTC. Any Info??? really want ICS
You'll need to wait for the officially released RUU files to become available.
Or if you want it now, flash new firmware and install ARHD6.0.3, with the new 1.73ghz kernel - it's fantastic.

You'll want to flash a modified ICS rom instead of waiting months for a carrier update. You might get OTA updates if you're stock rom + rooted, but if it's a custom rom, you won't.
Seriously though, don't wait for your carrier to update your phone, they'll add their **** to it and ruin it.
Yeah I'm just gonna wait for a good stable ics Rom then flash it I never like waiting is there any u recomend?

ARHD 3.6.13 is a Gingerbread ROM compared to 6.0 which is an ICS ROM.
ICS Senseless ROM
I really love the Virtuous Inquisition ROM. It is an ICS based ROM without Sense and has the appearance and features of pure ICS.
You can find it here.
It is very stable and has great battery life.

The site suggests an ota update to android 4.0.3 with sense 3.5 in march.
The latest leak we have is android 4.0.3 with sense 3.6.
bro we have to wait till htc edge/ville goes official...then our great devs will port ICS4.0.3 WITH SENSE4.0 for our sensations.

[Q] Thoughts: Stable rom before official update?

If you guys remember we got the sense 3 update leaked long before we expected it. I wonder if this will be the same for the ICS update. Anyone wonder if we will get a stable rom before the official release
It depends. We need people to leak the ruu

You won't get an official HTC OTA update on a rooted phone with a Custom ROM... and if somehow you do manage to get one while on a Sense ROM, DO NOT flash it... you'll end up in a bootloop.
As far as getting to use it, you'll get it on XDA much before people on stock ROMs (if history is anything to go by...). Hell, I think you might be running Sense 4 before HTC decides to give you Sense 3.6 officially.
Google search for details.

Yeah I think we will get 4.0 before 3.6!
I'm sure the RUU for the One V will be out before our RUU for ICS.
Can't wait
