I have seen previews of ICS on youtube and read about it. I do however wonder if anyone has an idea of what features will/wont be integrated with sense?

Corpse11 · Dec 5, 2011

I dunno, the story seems legit to me

Is anyone else wondering when the EVO 3d will receive ice cream officially since all of these leaks have been popping up all over the web about the galaxy nexus!!

Both HTC and Android have announced sometime in the beginning of 2012 for the EVO3D

I just don't understand why wait till 2012 when Sprint clearly won't be getting the g nexus? So what's the hold up.. they have had ice cream probably since the public release if not before so why wait?

They won't release it vanilla, they're working on implementing Sense into it

oh, oh... and Carrier IQ too! Along with all the other crap that they simply HAVE to integrate into the stock ROM!

UGH

I personally love sense. Much more than I do vanilla flavored stuff. I'm sure CarrierIQ will not be integrated, that company is lucky it doesn't trade publicly (that I know of, might have a parent company).

I'm stuck on HBOOT 1.50.000 so I won't be able to upgrade until they release ICS OTA or unless Revolutionary guys figure out how to back us down to 1.40 or 1.30 or get past 1.50. I have read too many issues with the HTC way of doing it.

I just want an updated Swype on the 3V0 along with no blurry contact pictures.

The blurry contact photos are from syncing facebook contacts via the Facebook app. If you use "Facebook for HTC" to sync FB contacts then the pics will be fine.

Thanks but that isn't the issue that myself and the majority of people I know using Android encounter. The blurry pictures come from people who backup their contacts to gmail which is downsizing the picture to the default size on the web browser gmail. Therefore, when the picture pops up as a phone call it is larger than the gmail size is therefore causing it to be blown up and pixelated/blurry.

found this article. Could this work on EVO3D?

HTC Sensation Gets ICS ROM with Sense 3.5

jerofld · Dec 22, 2011

No, that will not work with the Evo 3D.

And considering it's 12/22, the chances of getting it by 12/25 is very slim. I think HTC said they expected to be done with the update in February.

NYCHitman1 · Dec 22, 2011

Rumor has it that we should be seeing a beta CM9 version at some point in January (for those of you who root)

JunBringer · Dec 22, 2011

I wonder if Htc will keep much of what makes ICS good. They make a lot of mods to Android, so I'm curious. I wonder if they'll keep Android Beam when they put out NFC phones.

ARR22 · Dec 24, 2011

Well when it does finally come (i could care less when) i just hope it has more ice cream then sense. If that makes any sense? :O

If I had to make a guess...middle of March at the earliest. I'm sure they will throw Sense all over ICS. From what I have seen, I'm sure Sense will be UGLY. I just want the new version of Swype.

toomuchgame441 · Dec 25, 2011

I really hope they make a good blend with ICS, I like Sense but its becoming a bit boring, I'm SO tired of the clock/weather widget... lol. I really hope they keep the app draw launcher very much so similar to the one in stock ICS.

You say "early 2012," I hear "June 30."

Why do you think June? I would say February or March at the latest.

There is no way this phone won't get ics till June 30

814 htc evo · Dec 27, 2011

If they wait until June 30 that's Damn near a whole year since ics was officially released that's rediculous and let's be honest by then all current phones up for available ics update will be "outdated" by then!! Your crazy if you think June 30 and so is Sprint if they wait that long to release that update!! Christ by then there might be a bigger and better galaxy nexus from Google so I highly doubt June 30th!!!

Phreddo · Dec 28, 2011

I prefer to hope for the best and expect the worst.
Fine, early 2012? March 31, 11:59 PST.

My previous phone was the Epic, and that didn't see Gingerbread until 5 months after I got my Evo 3D, which either came with Gingerbread or got it shortly after. (can't remember which)

I always assume HTC is better than Samsung for updates, but for some reason these delays seem to love to follow me, so I'm not going to let myself get caught up in the rumor waiting game. Not to mention Sprint seems to create an extra layer of delays on top of the manufacturer ie Sprint ID.

Given the proprietary 3D hardware, I'm guessing that'll buy at least a month's extra delay for the official stable ICS release.

I'd be more interested to see if or when Sense 3.5 comes out.

You're coming from a Samsung explains things. lol. HTC is pretty good about updates. It seems Samsung is not from what most of us have seen. And yes the EVO 3D came with Gingerbread. As a matter of fact it came with Gingerbread 2.3.3. It wasn't very long until it went to 2.3.4. HTC is the best IMO when it comes to updates and maintenance fixes. HTC will have it for us soon. But, that being said, Sprint on the other hand could hold things up a little adding there junk to ICS.
