When will we be seeing an upgraded ROM From HTC support ?

I'm new to HTC and I have now had the Diamond for around 3 weeks, I do understand that no device is perfect when it is first released, actually no device is perfect . Later down the track I'm hopefull updates will be released to rectify some of these bugs we are experiencing! (especially the RAM leak, it's just plain nasty)
Now what is HTC like with there support, what is there timeframe with updates and new firmwares etc. ?

If you look to the kaiser then it will be a year from the release date.

I have no idea but have you checked HTCs website for any rom updates??. A forum member mentioned that there is a new rom out 1.35 i think. Best thing to do is head over to HTC and see if they have any updated roms or check in the rom section of this forum.

Wow, thats nice, by that time i'll already have a new phone and then waiting another year for its updates.
it's just a vicious circle.

Yeh, i checked the site, HTC e-club Hong Kong, no ROM love there.

I hope that HTC will release updates on a more frequently basis, since HTC tried to make the Touch Diamond a real iPhone killer. Weather or not they succeeded in this goal, is open to discussion, but they will loose the battle for sure, if they don't manage to keep the customers happy.
One of the ways to keep the customers happy is to make sure they don't have to wait for almost a year on new updates. The phone was only recently released, so I'm not surprised that is has some minor issues here and there. I would be surprised if it would take months for the first update to appear, since there is more than enough feedback.
Yo HTC guys! Are you reading this? I'm afraid not...

I have insider info that the TFLO3D is being revised for better performance due to lag. We should see a ROM soon, either from me or HTC.

Hi guys, bought mine last week and my ROM ver is 1.35.
What do u guys have?

I have ROM 1.35 - seem to have many fewer issues than some others on here - e.g. TF3d reasonably respnsive without tweak, no excesive heat, very good voice qulity (inbound and outbound) on the phone, wife works fine etc.

The latest ROM is 1.37 but still not available at e-club for download, if your country do have a HTC service center then you can give them a visit to upgrade.

Maybe they go 2.2

I don't know.
I think HTC don't develop any ROM's.
But we can develop some good ROM's.
Now we have to develop linux Debian .

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the interests you have with our product, the HTC Tattoo. I can understand how important it is to be able to fully utilize your device and be able to have the 2.1 Android Operating System.
Unfortunately, at this time there is no Update to the 2.1 Android Operating System Update. This Update will be sent to your device via email or text message when it is available.

Response I got from HTC.

In other words: this will never happen...
Let's see if FroYo really supports different screen resolutions...this would solve our problems in getting a decent upgrade...

Would HTC tattoo be able to run Froyo?

Oh where did you hear that possibility? That would be wonderful

Don't know anymore, but this information could just be another rumor, so be careful with spreading this info

no
i called the service desk, "highly unlikely" but htc is thinking about it

Just wait!
I heard about the HTC Wildfire with QVGA screen coming soon with 2.1 or later
>>> The tattoo has a chance.
And here

Yeah...Tattoo and Wildfire have all the same exept wilds 384 ram and tattoos 256 and screen is bigger i think like desire's...but same in resolution and thats our hope )

Wildfire is to Desire what the HD Mini is to HD2.
It is smaller, less RAM, lower res screen, slower CPU.
Still looks like it will be a top notch device though!

Resolution is not the problem... that works... the problem is camera and BT... but this is different in wildfire so no go.

If I don't see either a custom 2.1 working ROM (by working I mean everything working), or a RUU for 2.x from HTC, it'll be curtains for my HTC Tattoo. (I'll still build AzusaROM though and test the ROM on it until it bricks).
I'm thinking of getting a Nexus One at the end of the year.

Yeah, I thought so too, because since the Nexus is a Google Phone the new Android versions will be compatible with this phone for a long period of time I assume...

Hope is the best medicine for this sort of situation... Lets see devs at xda are trying hard to get it sorted..

[REQ] Android 2.2

Hi folks,
is it possible to port the Android 2.2 to the Legend without Rosi UI? In all newsthreads here on the web they say 2.2 will come on Legend but HTC have to adapt the Sens UI to FroYo before...
So the question is, is it possible to cook a FroYo Rom without Sense UI (Rosi UI) for the Legend ??? There are enough launcher at the market if someboy need
Thanks to all chiefs here, your work is great!!
Cu Andy

I would also like to know this thanks

I would love to have a generic (no Sense) Rom on my Legend. Whether it's 2.1 or 2.2...

well I doubt about this, as far all custom roms are coming up with home-sense on HTC devices.
You can install additional home replacement (e.g. Helix luncher) and set it as default.
I think it will be also possible in Android 2.2 so dont worry.

Not realy, @ modaco forum it´s possible to cook roms @ online kitchen, you are also able to choose without sense ui, but kitchen is down at the moment...
i would like to try a rom without sense ui, there are many apps and launcher in the market so i can put out the needed widgets single without using the 45mb big sense ui... i don´t want to think about the ram usage from sens ui... this ui is nearly the half rom-size...
For me it´s only important to have a good kalender widget and a useable launcher, so this can i build without sense ui too... (use the phone as time manager mainly)
thanks andi

Yeh, I know. I've got Zeam on my Legend and I'm happy with it. I still have HTC custom apps though. And I strongly prefer stock Android apps, EG Calendar, Contacts, Alarm Clock. Call me a pervert but Sense UI does absolutely nothing to me. Perhaps I shouldn't have got a Legend in first place but I really liked the hardware...

I totally agree with you...paul please help us to port the froyo 2.2 to legend, you're the only one who can do it...

Maybe if we pooled our money together for a donation, it would give him a bit more motivation.

me too...how? Anyway I contacted HTC to know if they will update legend to 2.2 and the told me:
Thank you for contacting us. Regarding your enquiry about Android 2.2: We cannot comment on what devices may or may not get an update just yet. Any announcements will be made through our Website, Facebook page and our Twitter feed. Please keep an eye on these channels for any updates regarding your handset. Thank you for contacting HTC. Kind regards, Federico F. HTC
So nothing new. Anyway I advise you to do the same, I think that if they will receive thousand of emails regarding this request of upgrade they cannot ignore us. A great thing would be if XDA Administrator could contact them to force them to give us this upgrade asap.

I asked the same thing a day or to ago.
And the reply was almost the exact same (but then in Dutch). Too much alike that it made me guessing that it's an autoreply.
Dno for sure but I think it's a good idea to send as much requests as possible

Another reply from HTC:
About the Legend and the Desire: We are working closely with Google and our other partners to ensure we have the earliest access to everything we need to provide a complete and solid HTC Sense experience on Froyo. We expect to release all updates in the second half of this year but can't be more specific yet. Kind regards, Federico F. HTC

Reply on my e-mail:
"Dear Mr.Ozazi, Thank you for contacting HTC, Kindly note that we are considering an upgrade for some models of our phones to Froyo, but we are still analyzing the impact this will have on the user experience.

HTC is very smart to NOT answer..."we are still analyzing the impact???" Wake up HTC the impact can be only positive!! Froyo 2.2 makes phones 450% faster than 2.1, has JIT compiler, App2SD, come on HTC, open your eyes!! I think I will insist and we are not alone, I'm in contact with an italian forum with more than 1000 users with htc legend, everybody will email HTC in the next days, we cannot be unsatisfied, we want the upgrade and we'll have it.

+1 for Froyo Legend ROM

I want frist the official one from HTC because we paid 350-400 euros to them, then if a cooked rom will be available this will be great abviously

I just got off the phone with the HTC support line.
And they were saying that they do not have a full list, but the man i spoke to said that the Legend should be getting the update

the important is to keep annoying the HTC support every day until they will announce officially the update. Everybody must email them, call them, they can't ignore thousands of people

[Q] ICS Update !!

HTC didn't officially release any date for the same but may be our device will test ICS after april.

What is your source for this?
I am currently running IceCold as I am too impatient and was boring of Virtuous Affinity.
I miss HTC Sense I know loads of people hate sense. I have no idea why. It's 100% better than the standard Android layout. Widget, htc apps (people, music etc), menus . Everything is much nicer and more feature full.
Anyway .... Not sure on the release, I haven't heard anything official.
Hopefully the post above is from a good source.

HTC announced it themselves, we're getting an official ICS from them.

Yeah HTC announced it but never said a release date, just a "later this year". They said after they do the sensations which I think has just been released or about to be released. I'm hoping mike1986 does a ICS ROM.

Well, Sense was cool the first week... then I realized that I don't use any of the Sense-widgets, nor did I use HTC's apps and I got tired of the layout
Everything that makes an HTC phone an HTC was also what made me change to an AOSP rom^^
There ya go why at least one guy don't like Sense
OnT (almost)
Only reason for why I'd like to see an official ics update, is because I'd like to see a fully functional AOSP ics rom
Asap would be the perfect time :3

Seen this the day it was announced.
What I meant was, where did this guy get after April from?
Is there a source for that or just a guess.
Looking at youtube videos of the Sensation it would seem HTC have scrapped the "grid style" menu button. Instead it's the list type, with no icons, that takes up almost the entire screen (Normally you would get this under "more" if necessary"

Planning to buy HTC One - Some questions :D

Hi People,
Finally I have decided to move on from my beloved HTC Incredible S which has been my companion for more than 2 years now and I chose HTC One to be its successor (Yeah I am a HTC Fanboy so my obvious choice was HTC itself). But there are couple of questions that I would like to get answers to before I zero in on it.
1. If I get a HTC One Sense Version, is it easy to install the Google Edition ROM on it? because I love switching roms often and like Latest Updates on my phone just to experience it
2. How is the future of this handset? I am asking it because, my Incredible S had begun with GingerBread and now with awesome developers, I can install KitKat in it too Thats a whole long journey on it.. Just wanted to know if the hardware and processor is future proof because after spending wholesome money on it, I dont want it to get stuck at kitkat
I checked the forum and found that there are whole lot of ROMs available for HTC One and I am excited to go for it. So any guidance here would be wonderful

1. Wouldn't say it was easy. Just be sure to do your research. Read all the relevant topics and so everything exactly as detailed. Here's just one of the many threads you should read.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
2. Apparently stock sense will be supported until next major release 4.5 or 5.
Custom ROMs will go well beyond that I'm sure. Don't know where official gpe support will end.

Oh the Google Edition will be supported max till 2 updates eh? Didnt know that..
Also, why I was asking because, even if official souce code was stopped by HTC.. Devs had developed kernels from scratch and kept the In credible S Alive.. I would love the same happening here..
Any devs who can give info

Didn't say that. Said sense will be supported to either 4.5 or 5. Whichever comes first. I.e. one more big release.
GPE anyone know? Will it follow the nexus 18 month support?

He he, I love to Just some questions as I always love rom modding

Does anyone know how long will GPE be supported by google? Is it same as current nexus??

BTW, There is an Indian Variant of HTC One.. One which has Dual Sim and seems like Single SIM HTC Ones have stopped for no reason :/
Will the custom Firmware of this Single Sim Ones work on that?? Or there is a separate forum for that?
