EDIT: One V runs Sense 4.0
Might not be the One V. Someone recently said the Primo is actually the One S. Either way, the Primo's specs are on par with our device, and Qualcomm just released updated adreno2xx drivers for ICS. Only thing we're missing now is some compatible kernel source.

Ok...I am a bit confused here.

I have a completely Stock Sprint EVO 4G that has never been rooted.

My question is, will I be getting ICS at some point OTA from either Sprint or HTC ?

My thoughts are no, but I could be wrong.

Let me know your thoughts, please

I've seen a few of your posts having issues that are easily solvable by rooting teh device.

We've already had ICS for our rooted EVO's for quite a while now as well as the internal space issues I saw about in another thread.

Also, since you have another year before your eligible... rooting your phone is like getting a whole new phone each time you flash a new ROM.



If you get curious... check us out in the all things root section

Rooting is not as bad as one would think you can always unroot if you have to send it in or if you decide its not for you

With root deck has a great ics rom along with a few others

Officially the evo is EOL so I'd say were not gonna get anything beyond security updates

Bummer!

I have non-rooted EVO 4g and the only way this device gets rooted, is if someone else does it for me. I barely ever use my computer - I'm always on my device.

If even someone as technically DEclined like me can root his (and his whole family's EVOs), you can, too. It's really not that difficult.

The newest OTA won't let you use either of those methods. Its pretty in depth but its still doable.

That is correct. Both those vulnerabilities have been patched. There are three root methods for the newest OTA (4.67) and they are all much less user friendly than previous methods.

Primo is 100% definitely One V. Just had a look at the shipped primo ROM, definitely One V. lol

True story.

We also now have kernel source for the Primo, so it's possible devs will be able to get us some ICS Sense ports soon. I don't know how functional they'll be, though, at least at first.

It'd be nice to see something.

I waited a year to root and now regret waiting so long. I did take the OTA update to 2.3.5 this past January, but the process was easy using the dummies guide. Their are plenty on folks on here to help with ANY issues you have during the process.

The more I learn about my phone the more I want to do with it.

I agree. I waited awhile to root my 4G, and when I did, i didn't know what took me so long, this phone is used by so many people, there is so much help. and since so many people do root this phone, it's one of the easiest ones to root. I rooted my Evo 3D, and it was almost as easy, but the Evo 4G performs way better.

highly recommend root, increases battery life and makes the phone a lot faster.

if you can follow instructions, just read the tutorials step by step, you wont have any issues.

that's the only way you're going to get ICS on an Evo 4G.
