Interesting HTC Statement - HTC One S

HTC has posted the following statement on their jelly bean update FAQ page:
HTC said:
What about a development version of Android 4.1?
For our developer community, we plan to make generic development ROMs of Jelly Bean available for both the HTC One X and HTC One S. As soon as the ROMs are ready, they will be posted to our HTCdev site (www.htcdev.com). We strongly recommend customers take the time to understand the limitations of the development software along with the terms and conditions on the site before downloading to their device.

When they say "generic" development ROMS do they mean AOSP based or simply the OpenSense SDK compliant Sense-based ROMs?

MORE ROMs

"Generic Development ROMs of Jelly Bean" doesn't leave much room for speculation in my eyes. It reads generic jelly bean. Not more, not less. No Sense if you ask me.

Exactly! That's what many of us in the development community want...basically a "Nexus One S" lol

Knowing HTC the rom will be available in mid 2013, for the One X. We'll probably get it late 2013

Sorry I'm a tech noob, can someone explain the significance of this? Is this HTCs way of responding to our demands of wanting s off and bumping up development?

S-off isn't as important as it used to be. This device just takes a little more effort. Last time I needed s-off was on my g2.
Generic roms have nothing to do with s-off

Well considering HTC is all about sense I don't see why they would change that for a device they obviously intended sense to run on.
If you ask me it's a good ploy to keep people happy while they take longer to release jelly bean. I have a feeling we won't be seeing it this month for sure and doubtful for next. But I don't really care as the way it came keeps me happy
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

Nice, if this happens I will not jump ship to the n4. I love this phone, but I want a AOSP experience. Did I know the risk when buying this phone? Most certainly did. Ive stuck it out for almost a half a year and I would be more then happy to sell this device to someone who likes the sense UI.
It's a great device with a great profile to it. If it can get a 100% working AOSP i will consider it a win.

don't know why do they release so many models if they can't follow up with updates

What's broken? Phones used to barely get updates, its only because google is updating android so much. Everything works, you don't need an update every month.

Updates are nice but hardly vital as long as the phone does what it was supposed to do when you bought it.

Nope, has nothing at all to do with Elevate.

Jelly Bean 4.1 Download (Not usable for flashing, can devs look inside for clues?)

http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-takju-JRN84D-from-IMM30D.5a07884d.zip
SO there is the link ^ for jelly bean, but it only works for "takju" devices that Google gave out at I/O, so this update is for the GSM Nexuses that were given to developers. I was wondering if any developer can use this and mod it for possible use and flashing with our One X's? Just wondering. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I think we need source code before we do any major porting. Correct me if im wrong

It is possible to port the jelly Bean from one x to desire S?

No, anyway why would you want to?
The one X ROM is at a very early stage. You'll have to wait a bit longer

Unfortunately this is what we can look forward to for the next 6-9 months. Exactly the same thing we had with ICS from the minute it was announced. Wait for the hundreds of rumour threads to start.

i know its dumb,and its just a little update dosnt even add anything major.people are stupid.
New notification bar is great, but I will enjoy it on new phone around Christmas maybe if it won´t come to desire s somehow
We've waited long enough for ICS,
Got to experience JB on a new phone! Cuz, i guess even our devs would move on to something new by then... Leaving our beloved DS deserted!
if you want to use jelly bean, try cm10 or blindbean - both are early stage alpha versions
but most of the options and settings are working already
there are just a few things not working on these roms
they run very smooth
that covers up the not working parts a lot

I think developers will not leave JB dev on our desire s.
at the moment there are good ICS roms and super smooth, but plenty of bugs, JB roms I think we've just to wait updates.

I can suggest you ice ds 4.1 to get ics on your device after rooting and recovery stuff. I'm testing it and seems really fast and stable. You will find an updated version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567715 but install 4.1 because 4.2 has some bugs. If you don't find a thing tell me. If I can I'll help you.

Guys I have some news for those who wantstonrun job on HTC desire s. I know last post was 2 month ago but you may be interested.
I'm testing jellytime r15 on my HTC desire s. It's a whole new level of quality and smoothness. Previously I had ice ds 4.1 based on HTC ICS 4.0.4 w/ sense 3.6
Jellytime is an aokp ROM you can download from blindnumb website. It has just 2 bugs but nothing to really care about, at least for me. Testing battery life...

In all seriousness, this is great news, though I worry how long it will take AT&T to approve the update. Hopefully the official or near-official RUU will leak out long before then...
Can't believe im saying this but i really like sense. Have a hard time deciding between aosp and sense roms. Will be looking forward to sense jb

[Q] When is CM10.1 Android 4.2 coming to the HTC One S?

I have seen a lot of videos and post of Android 4.2 being attached to CM10.1 for the I9000/I9000G and other devices. I keep checking 5 times religiously for it but I am only noticing incremental updates and bug fixes for Android 4.1.2 roms.
I know the developers are working very hard but if anyone can relate, it's not fair to us HTC One S users who keep flashing different 4.1.2 roms with 4.2 add ons as it's not the same as an original 4.2 rom.
Since I rooted my HTC One S (s4), I have been flashing various 4.1.2 roms such as: AOKP Milestone 1 / UnofficialAOKP14Nov12, CM10, JB PACman rom, Blackbean 6, Dark Jelly S etc.
Developers, we need 4.2 roms please.

4.2 is supposedly the most bug ridden release yet. It'll get here soon, and all we're missing is the new notifications and lock screen widgets. No big deal really.

4.2.1 has been released, which improves on most bugs that were introduced in 4.2
But I agree that we're not missing out on much.

Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Will do. I am concerned about HTC devices though as newer AOSP source codes haven't been exported to create a rom yet, which brings me to a question if their is something wrong with HTC devices like the One S. When the HTC One devices got released, they were released as a group so they should get updates at the same time right? Wrong, HTC One X got Jelly Bean 4.1.1 first and its brother the One S has been left out. Is it hardware related? Who knows? I think this subject should be announced by XDA administrators

Well there is no best ROMs. It is all preference. Also, saying what is the best ROM is against the rules. I suggest looking in the development sections and scrolling thru. No one here is going to tell you what to flash. If you like viper just five it go. If you want clean ROM then flash it.
A perfect example is the fact I stopped liking sense, but you may still want to stick with it. Get my point?

Actually, unless you're getting a phone that's already rooted, you don't need to worry about this for now, since there is no root for new phones on jelly bean.
