this is quite old news now. but thanks for the effort!
Unfoturnately, we won't see a official release of this on our desires... HTC will be selfish bastards and just release us ICS + Sense 3.6. It's their way to still persuade us to upgrade our phones.
This is like what they did for original Desire owners... they gave them Gingerbread, but still dumped them with the old HTC sense UI
they will save this new Sense for their new 2012 lineup.

Can blame them for that, they are there to do some business. Happy to hear that they will provide update for DS for android 4 with sense 3.6 when samsung denies proper update for galaxy s.
Hopefully some one will port sense 4 for DS.
Really liked the new clock widget and sense 4 ui. Sense 3.6 is a shame

No need to get so angry oly You never know, we might get Sense 4. If not, i'm satisfied with Sense 3.6, it's not like either one of us will use the stock upgrade A kernel 3.0, and we're on to the first custom ROM with a Sense 4 port.
As far as the Desire is concerned, that device had very low memory. It could hardly take gingerbread with 2.1. After the update, you could install 10 apps, max. Sense 3 would have maxed it out entirely

The kernel will be more than enough. I am pretty happy with CM9 or clean Android 4. Google guys made a great job with it.
Actually I think that Sense reached its peak already. I hope that I am wrong though

you have a good point about the Desire actually!
Yeah I won't be using the official upgrade anyway
But its easier to base a ROM on a official release rather than a ported one...

I agree with you. The main gain we get from the update is the kernel source, and drivers.
Google has done a good job the UI looks pretty for once!
However, I haven't used ICS as my daily driver yet, so I can't tell from its functionality from Sense.
Personally, I think Sense 2.1 and 3.5 are the best upgrades. They added great functionality to their older parts.

I couldn't find a topic on this, searching HTC Bravo, "HTC Bravo" and just Bravo came with nothing.
Is anyone else looking forward to the bravo? It's basically a Nexus one with hard keys, 720p recording and Sense UI.
Personally, I prefer Sense UI to stock android, even though the hero is still on 1.5 I don't see how in any way Stock Android 2.0/1 offers any better or nicer features than Sense UI.
The Bravo should be announced next week and come out in March. I can't wait for it to be honest and will be upgrading from my G1 ASAP.
The Bravo will be released in Barcelona Monday or Tuesday.
It will get a new name, can't tell what tho.

100%, Just keep following my Twitter
I heard it was going to T-Mobile UK but what about T-Mobile USA.
I like the Nexus One but that stupid plan you need with it to get it at $180 on T-Mobile is what I hate.
Hopefully the Bravo will be around the same price and maybe even cheaper
I also take the Sense UI over stock android. I mean look at the Hero's ancient Android 1.5 Sense UI.
*7 screens
*Very pretty and helpful widgets with cool animations
*Multi touch in browser, gallery, and mail before Google pushed it to the Nexus One (excluding the mail)
*FLASH in browser.
*LOADS of eye candy. I mean everything I go into has eye candy. Even the darn menus.
If HTC SENSE can run smooth on my old MT3G with only 192 mb of RAM and a 528 mhz processor just think how an Android 2.2 HTC SENSE will run on a 512 mb RAM and a 1 ghz processor.
Plus the Bravo will come with all the goodies of Android 2.1
*Newer Market
*Google Maps with Multi touch and navigation
* The other goodies that I can't remember.
HTC will probably make their own version of the 3D gallery and maybe even make their own version of live wallpapers.
Plus all those Nexus One users will want a port of Bravo.
Which is harder to port: Stock Android or a Custom UI Android?
Custom UI is harder to port than Stock Android.
Am hoping this will come out on o2-uk ASAP. As for the leaked brochure saying "april" things can change since then and all sources seem to point at March.
It sure does look like the Nexus, but with a few other features.

Am I looking forward to it, you bet I am. When I saw the specs for the HTC HD2 last year, I was salvating for the whole of the UK. But then you had the well documented camera glitch et al, and the shear size of the handset in my hands just put me off. Alas, then came news of the "Bravo", and it looks like the 3 year wait for well specked smartphone is almost at an end - I can't believe I've turned my nose up at the many offerings that have been cast my way - diamond 1&2, Samsung Omnia 1 & 2...the list goes on.

THIS IS THE BRAVO
THIS IS THE LEGEND.
All I got to say....F**k the Nexus One. With the Bravo (same specs but looks SOOOOO much sexier and has HTC sense) It will officially go to a carrier without getting a lame ass plan or you can buy it unlocked. Same with the Legend (A powerful phone but it is a budget phone. Great for it's price but It is not going to be weak like the hero or the g1/mt3g. More RAM and a better processor.) It will officially go to a carrier without getting a lame ass plan or you can buy it unlocked.
I heard it was going to T-Mobile UK and at least one (if not both) of the phones is going to T-Mobile USA.

How can we have a AOSP when Google has not even announced if the are going to release the Source code for ICS yet. I mean AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project.
I for one really hope that Google does release the Source and does not treat ICS in the same manner they did Honeycomb. But I think they just did not want Honeycomb ported to phones is why they did not make it open Source. Maybe now that ICS has the features of Honeycomb in it Google will not hold back and not release the Source.
ALL Android OS are open source, they are ''obliged'' to release the sources in the 3 months after releasing it on any device.
HTC took the freedom to release their Desire source to the last week so N1 devs couldnt adapt it too soon, but in general as we saw with GB AOSP Google release the sources pretty quickly...specially when a new iphone is endangering sales

Yeah that is the exact the point I was trying to make. I am also fairly sure that Google will release the source code for ICS as it is meant for phones and tablets where as Honeycomb was just meant for tablets. But to further my point from my earlier post. Honeycomb source was never released and even the great king the HTC HD2 Leo only got on Honeycomb ROM and it still has a ton of bugs and is not a daily driver ROM. In fact I am not sure if the developer is even still working on the ROm as I have not went to the thread in a good while now. So you see a ROM dump from another device that is running the OS version you want from another device will work to make a port. But ports are mostly buggy at best when first released and also require loads of work by devs. But a AOSP ROM usually works way better and from what I know takes less work from devs to bring to a device.
Can't wait to see what the devs is gonna cook up with ics =)
i think htc should push ICS to sensation and others but without Sense then if htc finish the work in htc Sense 4.0 push new update to sensation and others

HTC wont push it out to phones unless they can fully integrate sense into it, thats their hallmark. Otherwise it'd just be another android phone
HTC VILLE leaked specs to be the first htc running sense 4.0

NOOOOO. ICS should be left untouched
i doubt we will get sense 4 for senny.
as all sense 4 phones will prob have 1gm ram so htc will say "too old" so gotta get devs to port it.
is say we will get it since its there flagship phone and ino for a fact xda devs will port it i really like the ics launcher but i think its too plain so id like to see what sense can do with the sensation

Um it hasn't been there flagship phone for awhile now. More than likely HTC will have excuses as to why they can't release until wayafter you get a new phone lol. Hope waiting is fun.

qHD Super AMOLED sounds good
well in the UK its HTCs flagship device.
In US the Amaze 4G and now Rezound are better then Senny.
That does suck if it does happen, but thankfully we have awesome devs here. If Sense 3.0 was able to be ported to the Nexus One, I'm sure 4.0 can be easily ported to the Sensation

im just worried that ICS will need 1GB RAM to be at its full potential.
As Sense adds a lot of overhead on top of stock android.
They already said ICS is coming to sensation.
"HTC knows how excited our fans are to get their hands on Google's latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, so we're thrilled today to announce the first wave of HTC phones that will receive upgrades: We can confirm the brand new HTC Vivid, on sale beginning today, is upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich. In addition, Ice Cream Sandwich is coming in early 2012 to a variety of devices including the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL and HTC Sensation XE, as well as the HTC Rezound, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G and HTC Amaze 4G through close integration with our carrier partners. We're continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich"

My thoughts excatly.I think AMOLED is a step back with its penTile Technology. It should at least have a S'AMOLED Plus with a qHD res to be considered an improvement over the current SLCD display.

exactly. and the screen burn or whatever, doesnt display whites correctly. black is and vibrant colors are the only colors that look good. on SLCD "everything" looks good.. yeah the SAMOLED+ with qHD would be interesting, but they are using 2 gens behind xD AMOLED was on the behold 2 and crap like that lol. hopefully they change that.
Couldn't agree more. Amoled displays are so over rated and way over saturated too!

New things and improvements in Sense 4.0:
- Landscape mode now also in home screen (with optimized buttons etc)
- No on-screen buttons (as on Nexus) but will adopt the 3 buttons (prev. 4)
- 3D Task manager
- Better lockscreen, with better integrated notifications, to-do-lists, notes, contacts etc.
- Updated Email client with threaded messages and improved layout (over all better email)
Smart Sync technology which syncs your email based on your usage habits
- Better Browser, with Read later and Watch later functions. Introducing a new Reader feature.
Reader:feature in browser strips away ads and other useless web clutter
Read/Watch Later: feature in browser saves content in a widget which can be accessed at a later time (even offline)
- Guest mode, lets your friends only test some basic stuff (no phone, data, and special apps)
- Better Camera - when it detects a face, it takes 5 pics and chooses the best one. (I guess a new version of Amaze cam?)
ImageSense: auto focus is 0.2sec, shutter time of 0.7sec
Dual Shutter Camera (video record and take photo at the same time!)
- DropBox integrated (25 GB for 2 years for free!)
- Beats Audio will be universal, meaning allowed in any 3rd part apps (Spotify, YouTube, Pandora, VPlayer, etc.)
- SoundHound seems to be integrated in the music app! (see pic attached in 1st post)
- SkyDrive integration (Microsofts cloud storage 25 GB free)
- Scrollable wallpapers are back. Changing wallpaper.
- Carousel and 3D effects are gone (to speed things up)
- HTC Speak - digital personal assistant. Similar to iPhone´s Siri (roumor)
- New sounds (notifications etc)
Overall, loosing some of the bloated feel, and now being more grown up with improved speed etc.
Looks interesting!
The DropBox feature sounds great, the additions to the Browser seem like a nice touch and improved battery consumption with the Email client is welcome.
I just wonder will the Sensation get it as an official update? I'm hoping so since the HTC Ville's specs don't sound too far off the Sensation's.

ha so us users with devices getting ICS will get an half sense update and the new phones this yr will get the 4.0....can't wait to hear the reason why they dont update current devices to Sense 4.0...

Looks interesting!
The DropBox feature sounds great, the additions to the Browser seem like a nice touch and improved battery consumption with the Email client is welcome.
I just wonder will the Sensation get it as an official update? I'm hoping so since the HTC Ville's specs don't sound too far off the Sensation's.

Yeah, sound really good. but, if not any official upgrade for us Sensation users, it will most likely be ported.
but, since we will be upgraded to android 4.0.3 soon (official) it sounds logic that we will get the Sense 4.0 too... right?

as always, as with bootloader locked - as soon as user start complaining, they cannot exclude us also...
if they are upgrading us to android 4.0.3 they will have to upgrade sense also!

yeah he might be right.. 3.6 might go official at start, but then upgraded to 4.0 to give us that extra WOW-feeling.
the first WOW is android 4.0.3 then after a month or so, they release the 4.0. (or at least after the release of HTC Ville...)

One would think... but logic could also dictate that they would give us a version of ICS to placate us and keep 4.0 for the newer devices to entice people to buy a new phone. LOL
Gotta hate those people with all the $$$!

THIS is what they usually do. the Evo4G didn't get an update when it could easily of gotten one long ago just as an example...
if i had my bet id say they only made this 3.6 ICS to make Sense mesh with ICS on current devices and then from there 4.0 is for new hotness

yeah, i guess. but as with the locked bootloader, they caved in.
if my HD2(love yah ) was locked, i would of threw it away quite soon, but custom roms gave it an extra year. (locked loader was a way for them to not keep your phone up to date, and therefore buy a new one sooner)
hope we get the same result here (as transformer prime)

If this be the case, I'm sure the XDA community will find a way to rip it out. They will port it just like all the other releases.

Blue tint on acer screens persists though; highly doubt its final.
Im most excited about universal Beats support, guest mode (which I hope is customizable), and landscape view (which would have been even more useful when I had a G2).
For all the people worrying about an official 4.0 update, I wonder where you could go to find some sort of online community who likes modifying phones and such?

yeah, i dont even think i will use any stock rom anyway..
wonder if XDA might help?... naaahh
I doubt we will get it.
Just like original Desire did not get Sense 2.5.
Original senny was 3 and now it becomes 3.6 and thats where it will stop.

All the phones released last year with Sense 2.xx got updated to Sense 3.0 ... I think there's a good chance we'll see Sense 4.0 on the Sensation.

It was never coming for the inspire anyway
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
I meant mostly because most ICS roms for Inspire were waiting for ics kernel of desire hd...
It doesn't matter that it was never coming for the Inspire specifically. Any ICS update for the Desire HD can be easily ported and help all Inspire owners. We should be angry about this, not only Desire HD owners.
It means no official ICS. There are already several unofficial AOSP ICS ROMs and a few Desire V ICS ports.
I wont ever own another HTC product. Promise ics to DHD and then say the customer quality is what they are concerned about. Yet the desire c is half our phone and is getting it >.<

I agree, I have owned a number of HTC products in the past and this is reinforcing my jumping ship to other manufacturers.

Guys let me let you in on a little secret. All OEM are the same when it comes to this. Mainly here in the states where the carriers control the updates. With the way hardware and Android are updating the best you can hope for is a 6 month period where the device may get an update. After that all bets are off. If updates are important to you then get a Nexus and be done with it. Its not like most dont run a AOSP based rom anyway so why pay all the extra for the OEM stuff. No need to be all upset about it.

It is what it is
There is nothing we can do about HTC cancelling the update to DHD except complain to HTC. If you want the best possibility of updates then a Google Nexus phone is the way to go (as already mentioned). Remember that it is probably not ICS specifically that created performance issues, but rather the combination of ICS and whatever version of a newer Sense (Rosie) HTC was planning. I have experienced that the phone handles AOSP ICS versions just fine, but Sense 3.0 and later versions paired with ICS would probably be a drag on this phone. Remember that when the Inspire came out, other manufacturers were already utilizing dual core technology so the phone was already behind the times upon release.
Right. Some of the custom ICS ROMs run very smoothly. It must be Sense that is the problem. Too bad, really. I intend to keep running with the Redemption ICS ROM on the Inspire until Google announces the next Nexus later this year and then I will jump ship. I was tempted, especially with JB, to buy a GSM GN but given that by October or November we might have some new Nexus hardware announced, I just need to be patient.

I have noticed that GB and Sense 3.0 and 3.5 custom ROMs have the occasional lag. I can only imagine what ICS combined with 3.5 (or even 4.0) would do to the usability. I have tried a couple of AOSP based ICS roms and they work well (except for the bugs such as camera issues). I have had better experiences in regards to performance with CM 7 ROMs than I ever did with the rooted stock rom (with bloatware removed of course). I will be buying a new Nexus myself once a newer version is released. I will use my contract renewal to get my wife a new phone every year (keeps her quiet about cheap gifts at Christmas and birthdays which are less than a month apart) and I get a phone which I know will receive support for a long time.

Relax guys. I've realized that even if they don't want us to have it, we will get it as soon as the Desire S or Incredible S gets kernel source for ICS. After that, porting a full Sense 4 or 3.6 ROM is a walk in the park.

Even then, team virtuous has nearly finished porting a completely working HTC 3.0 kernel. Sense doesn't work on our phones because we don't have the right kernel running under it. Virtuous and Pacha have 2 ROMs that are almost completely working. Camera doesn't work on some phones that have hardware from omnivision (me unfortunately :crying, but if you have Samsung hardware then you're in luck. Some of the other sense 4/2.6 ROMS also work without a hitch if you flash the 3.0 kernel, and a few patches.
