[Q] Will I eventually have to update firmware?

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)

[Q] ICS 4.0.3 with Sense 3.6

After a post was placed in the Dev section about Sense 3.6 I started looking into it and found that the ICS 4.0.3 build for the sensation has Sense 3.6, The Sensation (HTC Evo 3D) has an RUU with sense 3.6, can we port that over to the Speedy. I know we have other roms based off of the 3D

This would be totally cool to use.

I think it will be a while before the shift sees that because of the m10tool issue not being able to edit the m10 files so it would prolly be really hard to resize

And here is a thread on another forum about editing m10 files

The sensation wont have wimax... The sensation is a tmobile device and evo 3d sprint, and they arent the same... There will be a ton of edits to make in order to get anything working. Honestly, you are wasting your time. Ics sense is huge in size, after stripping stuff out to allow it to fit on our system partition, the functionality of the rom will be near gone... Than we have the kernel issue, we dont have a 4.0 sense kernel for our phone... Dont waste your time

I pulled down the rom for the sensation and started looking at it and it would be a major undertaking, but then I came across the ics 4.0.3 rom with sense 3.6 in the evo 3d forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458173, then pulled down this rom and am looking at what it would take to port this over

I would think it would still be very difficult. The 3vo hardware is nothing like the shift hardware.

And while I've ran ICS Sense from the Sensation on my MyTouch 4G Slide....like drob said don't waste your time, I noticed nothing new in the hour I ran that beast overtop of what MikRunny already has to offer for you users, it wasnt very laggy, or slow, RAM usage stays about the same and you get less tweaks ...

Is the Sensation getting Official ICS Yes/No

I just got one yesterday, just a standard Sensation and i am going to send it back if it does not getting official ICS , while i can still return it.
I have searched, but all i can find is unofficial rom`s
GSMarean says it getting V4.0 ICS are they correct.
Thanks
John.

Yes, there will be an ICS update end of march.

Will it have Sense v4.0?
Thanks
John.

Not intially, no - why would HTC release Sense 4.0 when their new handsets aren't out yet?
There's talk of the Sensation NOT getting Sense 4.0 but only HTC know what's going on - they said the Desire HD wasn't going to get Sense 3.0 but look how that went!
I'm running ICS at the moment - officially from HTC - and it's better than 2.3 but still not a patch on the Galaxy Nexus IMO

Yes eventually but will come with sense 3.6 first.

Thanks to Everybody, Another Sensational Owner

Congratz on your cool Sensation...Enjoy your new toy here on XDA

Its coming by the end of March not at the end of March there is a huge difference you know

The sensation most probably will get a stripped sense 4 Rom.
Sense 3.6 < Stripped 4 < Sense 4

[Q] Got Official Ics+sense 3.6 on Sensation 4g T_MOBILE.

Hi guys,
I got official ics on my Sensation 4G yesterday, I like it but I hate HTC sense bcoz android UI 4.0 is much better than that. Can anyone tell me how can I delete Htc sense and install android UI.
Thank you,

Flash an AOSP Rom or Virtuous Inquisition. Or you can also give Sense 4.0 a try

[DEV ONLY][RUU] HTC One S (S3) Ville C2 2.15.401.100

HTC have released an Android 4.0.4 ROM with Sense 4.1 for Ville C2 and thanks to Football we now have a link for it
Download link: RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.15.401.100_Radio_16.21.20.02U_16.09.20.11_M2_release_286571_signed.exe
Let the porting... Begin
Edit: To any users who are even slightly tempted to flash this onto your Sensation, it will brick your phone so don't even try it. If you do and it bricks your phone, do not come to me for sympathy because I will just laugh at you. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

When we thought they were going to leak a JB rom here is the old 4.0.4... Every update is welcome of course but maybe this is a sad sign of no real plan of a jb upgrade for ville c2. Maybe this is a sop given to ville c2 users just to do not them leave without upgrades while s4 users will get jb...

Hang on a sec, "old 4.0.4"? Ville C2 never had 4.0.4 until today. Even One X doesn't have an official JB RUU yet, only test releases. S4 version of One S only has 4.0.4, no test releases for JB at all.

Yes, I meant "old" because s4 got 4.0.4 time ago, and the new os is 4.1.2... 4.0.4 for s3 is almost matching the timing of new JB for s4.

Isn't ViperS already based off the S3 Sense 4 rom? Or is this just special because it's Sense 4.1 with 4.0.4 for S3? Will this be easier to port into a completely working Sense 4.1 rom for Sensation than the current base used for ViperS?

It's not Sense 4.1 - they are deluding you, it has the Rosie.apk from S4 version of One S and that is the only Sense 4.1 feature I am aware of in that ROM. As for android 4.0.4, no it has android 4.0.3 libs and maybe up to 90% of the framework is 4.0.3 - I do not know the exact percentages but what little 4.0.4 code there is comes from the Ville RUU (One S S4 variant)

Is it possible to rebase the porting of this new RUU to latest pyramid firm 3.33.401.153?

Porting uses mostly libs from the devices the RUU is meant for (with the exception of hardware specific libs such as Bluetooth and kernel libs) but yes it is possible to use 3.33.401.153 files as the ones that are used for the target device.
This is what myself and mikrosmile will be doing for our ROM - the annoying thing is we spent nearly a month attempting to get our sense 4.1 ROM based off Ville S4 into a stable condition and just when its nearly ready, this is released

In response to your reply Johnny, I wasn't asking about ViperS. I was asking if THIS ruu was special because it's Sense 4.1 with android 4.0.4 for the S3 processor, I was also asking if this ruu would make for a better (fully working?) port of Sense 4+ for the Sensation. The only thing I really asked about the ViperS Rom was if it was already based off an S3 Ruu, I am now assuming its based off an S4 ruu.

ViperS 1.3.5 is based off the S3 Android 4.0.3 Sense 4 1.11.x RUU
There is no current port of Sense 4+ because Sense 4+ is only on JellyBean and the only device to have JellyBean is the One X. It's not worth porting anything from the One X because everything needs to be resized. Sense 4+ is actually Sense 4.5 but for some bizarre reason HTC decided last minute to name it as Sense 4+
This RUU will allow better ports of Sense 4.1 and yes this RUU is special because it is Sense 4.1 and Android 4.0.4 for the S3 variant of the One S
