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
John.

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] Using sense 3/3.5 camera in sense 4

Tried to find out, is that possible? Sense 3 and 3.5 got nice camera applications, in desire S. So if i install sense 4, is it possible use camera apk from earlier sense's?
Sorry stupid question, if asked earlier.

No, you can't. Camera doesn't work at all in sense 4 yet.

It seems that Cyanogen based on ICS has camera, but semi-functional.

Thanks. Hope HTC keeps hurry on sense 4

I always wondered why is it so hard to have working camera on new roms... Does someone know why?

Because HTC had not provided the source code for the kernel yet. The libraries are something that only HTC can provide
Swyped from a primed Desire S

Oh... I thought that since hardware is the same, you could use old libraries from stock sense on ics...

The camera and camcorder are working fine on the latest Cyanogen 9 Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429215 , its pretty much there as a complete Rom now.

[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

I see no reason why we wouldn't want/have Sense 5 on DS. HTC is going to put S5 into weaker devices anyway, aren't they?

Advice:
Get a ION kernel first
Use the Desire 600 system dump for now

HTC One Mini is also out now so we can use files from that possibly?

Yh the One S has sense 5, its called TrickDroid by @torxx

@doga.ozkaraca is working on it for One V. If he gets it for One V the chances for Desire S getting it are high (Seeing as One V and Desire S are very similar)

If anyone starts working on a kernel that would be great!!that is the biggest leap we have to take!!

Also we from Desire X have a Sense 5 port based on 4+ kernel obviously.

So guys Let me Be The Peace Maker .
Yes Me And @XxXPachaXxX and @E.l.I.e_A Managed to boot and to make it working as you can see in this post now about the build we are making it strictly closed source and we are not publishing anything before we get it legal and ligit.
Now about other devices Like for the HTC One V He will be getting it to becaue when you can make ion here work you now the right method to make it work else where .
So The Devices Will Follow Like This.
HTC Desire HD First TO Get JB
HTC Incredible S Second to get JB
HTC Sensation XL Third To Get JB
HTC Desire C Fourth To Get JB
HTC One V Fifth To Get JB
And almost all 480 x 800 will get as we will have a publish date for all and then we are making it open source{By That i mean stock JB Booted ROM For ROm Devs}
So Do We Have A Booted JB Sense 4+ Version on DHD ?
Confirmed

Strange not to see our device, but I think, if one of these devices gets the ROM, then we'll see ports to our device by our device's devs, which would be awesome! I really hope to see it soon.

if they make it for DHD it can be ported to DS easily I think as DHD has the same hardware as DS

Port request: Can someone port a Sense 5 ROM to our beloved Desire S

As the title states, I would love to see a sense 5 ROM ported from one of the newer Desire series (300,600,700 etc) to our ageing Desire S.
a willing tester here if anyone is up for it.
I can see there is one for the Desire HD which is essentially the same spec as our device.

I really want to do some porting for the Desire S, but I don't have one. I already ported Carbon 4.3, but I had to end that project because of the lack of a testing device. If anyone has a Desire S they don't want anymore and they are willing to donate it to me, you can expect a lot of Desire HD roms to come to the Desire S.
If you want to see my previous work, check out the Nexus One dev forums

Porting sense 5, there is one major problem and thats why id say no one has already tried, sense 5 is jellybean so we would need a new kernel to support sense and jb, im not sure exactly but the main issue would be the kernel and i think @kylon (kernel dev) doesnt have a desire s anymore either and he was prob our best bet for the kernel.

yh would be good coz theres not really much happening on the ds recently, most devs have moved on

Why don't you look out for a damaged one and get the parts from parts4repair.com ?
I find the DS one of best repairable devices I know so far.
All you need is a T5 and a PH00 Screwdriver and a guitar pick for some things
If you need some internal repair documents, I can provide you with some.

He hasn't mentioned porting it to the desire s, and seeing as we don't have a kernel capable of running jb+sense, I think it's highly unlikely that it ever will get ported.

Well atleast some ones trying to port.....

I seen there's an ION capable kernel on the desire HD forum so maybe it's possibe to port it...
There's hope still!

it will be even better to make it working on MDDI devices, I dont need a newer device, DS' performance is enough for my needs, but Im stuck with ICS, its like being stuck with Vista on computer and can not upgrade to 7 or 8
