I wonder what this means for our over due upgrade.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
were we ever even 100% confirmed to get 2.3 on the evo from google/sprint?
I think the only upgrade they ever officially promised was froyo but for how often we were getting upgrades it seems odd we've been so long without one. Especially with evos still on back order some places.

never said the evo could not run it, i said i doubt we will get it officially.
It's almost a year old but there must be a lot of demand for it still if some places are having trouble keeping them in stock. HTC is known for supporting their phones and right now it's still the best one sprint has imo
And honestly, for all ever trash done topic users talk, I would love to be able to rub it in their faces that we are 2 or 3 builds ahead of them lol

That is why I have mixed emotions about Htc' s underwhelming offerings at MWC. As long as the Evo is top dog at Sprint, we should see regular updates.
Guys, do read the second part of the article: "will get 2.4 soon after". 2.4 is Gingerbread. If you've been following MWC 2011, you might remember that 2.4 is just HTC's own numbering for their own spin on Gingerbread with additional coding from their side. For all intents and purposes, it is Gingerbread.
To put it in further context, remember that HTC has been using the 2.4 along with the title 'Gingerbread' throughout MWC, and in fact touted their entire MWC line-up (save the Incredible S) as having '2.4 Gingerbread', when we all know there there has not been any Android 2.4 release, nor even any indication that Ice Cream Sandwich is close at hand.
So yes, the Incredible S will get Gingerbread, just not at launch. In fact, the article and source both say that the Gingerbread upgrade will follow after shipping.
Also, for your own reference, the primary source which this topic on a topic on a topic was based upon: http://twitter.com/htc/status/37504723019894784
On a side note, however, I do wonder about the implications of HTC's move on the future numbering of Android releases. Assuming that HTC has received Google's blessing to do this, does it imply that Ice Cream Sandwich will not even be a 2.x release at all, but 3.x (3.1?)? After all, given what Schmidt said about the next 'I' version of Android being device-agnostic and an upgrade to both Gingerbread and Honeycomb, this seems likely.

There's been a lot of confusion about what 2.4 will be called but I'm pretty sure Google announced at MWC it would called Ice Cream (or Ice Cream Sandwich). HTC on the other hand has been sending mixed messages so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

True, but here's Eric Schmidt's exact words from his MWC 2011 keynote:
We have an OS called Gingerbread for phones, we have an OS being previewed now for tablets called Honeycomb. The two of them. You can imagine the follow up will start with an I, be named after dessert, and will combine these two.

Nowhere does he mention that the next iteration will be 2.4 (or even specifically Ice Cream Sandwich, for that matter), but I haven't actually checked Google's other press releases, so I can't be sure on that either. When you think about it, if Google has actually already announced the next version as '2.4 Ice Cream Sandwich', why should Schmidt beat around the bush about its number and name?
Anyway, I've been doing some additional research, and one of the things that has been wracking my brains is that other manufacturers also seem to advertise the OS of their upcoming phones as "2.4 Gingerbread", so this suggests it can't simply be a HTC-only phenomenon.
For that matter, there seems to be a 'leak' from ViewSonic that claims 2.4 is actually an official update of Gingerbread from Google that adds support for dual-core processors and apps to ensure that apps are compatible across Honeycomb and Gingerbread devices (and not just HTC's spin on 2.3). Makes more sense now, doesn't it?
In addition to that. The same source also says that Ice Cream Sandwich will likely be 3.1, rather than 2.x. So no, Ice Cream Sandwich will not likely be 2.4.

ya, I read his quote after I wrote that so who know. He would make a good politician for how vague he is. I just hope HTC hurries up and either gives those of us with older devices an update to something or leaks a sense ROM with something newer than Froyo. We went from getting updates once a month to nothing for three now.
They did the same thing with us as far as releasing the Evo with 2.1 and we had 2.2 within a month or two so hopefully it won't be too long.
Funny that you said that, because HTC has recently announced that the entire Desire line-up will get 2.3 Gingerbread in Q2. Given that the EVO was released later the Desire, and the fact that it's really just a 4G version of the DHD, it would probably get a Gingerbread update too.
And here's another update, and it's certainly a confusing one: HTC now says that what it originally called 2.4 Gingerbread is really just 2.3.3. But if that was the case, what about all the other manufacturers who said they were running 2.4 Gingerbread? Are they going to come out and say that they're actually just running 2.3.3 too?
Source: http://www.fudzilla.com/mobiles/item/21915-new-gingerbread-is-233
Also, this could hint that 2.4 might be Ice Cream Sandwich, but until the above is clarified, nothing is certain. Boy, am I confused.

I guess the Hero was an exception Canada sucks get all the good phones last (well I personally blame Telus since they are lazy asses because Bell got the Desire Z quite fast) and our 3 year contracts suck big time...
I think 2.4 is Gingerbread just for dual-core and "universal" app support (Honeycomb to Ginger and vice versa) as stated above, and I read it some where also.

I'm just happy we don't have contracts (or can choose not to have I should say) ... Sure contracts allow for cheaper phones but I'm sure in the end you'll pay more then the initial full price of the phone, at least that is the case here.
As for getting the the latest and greatest phones last ... We can have that here too, like the iPhone or something like the HP PALM Pre or whatever.
Anyway, going off topic here ... sorry Didn't want to hijack the thread.
I'm sure there will be an update to this phone, what it will be remains to be seen, HTC has some great phones, but in the communication department they are missing some radio-roms I'm thinking
CM7 has been set to be outdated this coming fall as Android Ice Cream Sandwich has been scheduled for release in Q4. Ice Cream will be the Honeycomb tie-in we were expecting for Phones as well as a few other features you can check out in the below URL. However, what's not clear is what it's Version Number will be. As 3.1 has been claimed by the soon to be released Update for Honeycomb (for Xoom at least), that will include things like the new Market Movie Rentals features among other things (which you can check out in the 2nd URL).

Ugh... Eclair, OK. Froyo, OK. Honeycomb, OK.
But Ice Cream Sandwich rolls off the tongue like a reading of your mortgage statement.
I'm not speaking of the OS, itself, of course, just the naming of it.
hmm yeah plus its long .. we can call it Android ICS just to make it decent lol
Personally, I'm going to call it Ice Cream because that's two syllables just like the previous names and calling it ICS isn't very attractive either.

I appreciate that Google is announcing all of this. And I hope things work out well with HC and ICS. But many things can happen in six months. Here is a more cynical reading of Google's announcements:
1. Honeycomb - We tried to catch up with Apple's iPad. It didn't work out real well. HC is a kludge we made to get tablets on the market fast. We are not going to release the source code for HC, ever.
2. ICS - We will have a statue of an ice cream sandwich on the lawn next to our other Android statues. We will have this statue in place by December 31, 2012. As far as manufacturers having ICS phones and tablets you can buy for the Christmas holidays, well, we aren't promising anything.
I know this is harsh, but this is also reality. Google worked hard for quite a while before Android for phones became good to excellent. I believe that Google will get the whole tablet <-> phone integrated operating system working very well. I hope it happens sooner rather than later.
Right now I am running CM7 on my Nook Color and enjoying it. I don't feel like I'm missing out by not having Honeycomb, but I'm sure I'll give it a try before too long.
From Phonescoop:
"Google today confirmed that the new Ice Cream Sandwich system software will be able to run on nearly all current Android hardware. It won't have any specific hardware requirements that might preclude it from working on older handsets."
Does NC count as current Android hardware?

This pretty much means, anything that can run 2.2 and 2.3 will probably be able to run Ice Cream, that includes the Nook Color, although we'll probably have to wait for someone to get a ROM for Nook working. Depending on how Ice Cream will be setup, we may need to also wait for CM8 to have a good experience with it. But who knows, maybe it'll already have all the Features needed to be usable on the Nook.

Honeycomb and/or ICS shouldn't be a problem for us. By the time ICS source is released we might even have a 2.6.35+ kernel port(not that its needed).

Works for me. Heck, even if you do get another tablet, perhaps we can persuade you to hold on to your nook and develop on it, for old times sake.
Has everybody noticed how this has slipped thru the cracks with all the distraction of Google I/O 2011 news?
Google I/O Google has said that the next version of Android, dubbed "Ice Cream Sandwich", will be open sourced "by the end of the year," and that it will not open source the current Android incarnation, the tablet-centric Honeycomb, before that time.
Source:
UU UU UU dot theregister.co.uk/2011/05/10/android_ice_cream_sandwich/
Andy Rubin has backtracked on making the Honeycomb source available until after it is no longer relevant (if even then). There is no promise any more of EVER getting the Honeycomb source, so it looks like the best we'll be able to do is SDK11 unless B&N updates stock to Honeycomb (don't hold your breath).
I wouldn't say Honeycomb will no longer be relevant after ICS. After all, ICS is a smart phone OS, whereas HC is designed for tablets. What I'm getting from this is that ICS is basically going to be the smartphone version of HC. Google has stated that they don't want people porting HC to smartphones. By delaying the release of source for HC until after ICS hits the shelves, Google is trying to forestall the translation of HC to phones by waiting to release HC code until it no longer makes sense to do so (beacuse there'll be no point in doing so).

Actually, from the presentation, ICS is just as much for tablets, since the UI is supposed to scale based on the device.
However, they keep saying ICS for quarter 4, which is half a year away. Frankly, i am pissed that they yanked devs around for so long HOPING we might see the code, when in reality, i have no doubt they held it back solely on the request of Moto and others, to help maintain a monopoly on HC market..
Other media reports are characterizing the discussion as Rubin saying that they will never release the Honeycomb AOSP. Yet another reason to ignore the Xoom, et al. tablets if they're going to pull this bull****.
Brilliant plan -- release a closed buggy version, refuse the community to do de-bugging work for free and then hope that it will be magically fixed by merging with the OS that originally was thought to not be up to snuff.
Google thinks that they can "merge" Honeycomb back into Ice Cream Sandwich (after they "get it right").
What I want to know is, how is Andy Rubin justifying withholding the source of an "open source" OS? And what is to keep him from doing the same thing again next year with ICS?
There are more comments over in the developer thread on this subject. I started this one first, but I don't have enough posts to start one over there (grumble, grumble). I'm slowly getting closer to being able to post there though (grin).
One school of thought over there is that the Honeycomb AOSP is a hacked up kludge "not ready for primetime" and that's why Google doesn't want it out.
While that is very likely true and (and will probably continue to be true now that 3.1 is released), that is no justification for opposing "opening" the source.
Since I expect the kludges will be "grandfathered" throughout future releases, I don't expect to ever see HC AOSP. I could be wrong, but it really doesn't matter because ICS will be out by then and everybody will be wanting to port to it.
What I'm concerned with is the "promise" of ICS being released in a timely fashion. Mr. Rubin has made earlier "promises" that have later been rescinded. I don't think he EVER wanted HC released and was just trying to "buy time" until Google I/O 2011 so that he could take the heat off with the announcement of ICS.
I hope I'm wrong, but ... fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....

Hey guys, I know this has probably been asked before but what do you think the future holds for the galaxy tab 7" ?
With Honeycomb looking like its not coming (officially anyways) and gingerbread still being a smartphone OS, do you think perhaps Ice Cream Sandwich will bridge the gap?
I love the Galaxy Tab as it is but keep in mind thats its not offering a true tablet experience, and i dont want to come across as domeone who doesnt enjoy it, I do, however I am interested in future devrlopment.
Cheers.

Honeycomb with eventually be ported and working well, other wise just use cm7 with tablet tweaks, maybe one day Samsung will update to ice cream, but who knows when that will happen, tho they did roll out gingerbread "fairly" quick

I'm fine with Froyo honestly, though wouldn't mind GB or HC
Using a custom 1.4 Ghz rom and is as fast if not faster than my ipad
Not that fussed about HC now after playing with it on the Nook. Icecream wouldn't be bad to get the new 'toys' appwise, but the UI? I prefer the 2.x style tbh. I think it works better for 7".
Now, I CAN see Samsung releasing a NEW 7" Tablet with updated gfx core running Icecream, with a thinner form factor too.
Dunno, see how it goes, but what we've got works and works rather well I think.
What do you think, will Android 4.0 be available for our phone? I'm not optimistic, probabably they will put it on dual-core phones only, but who knows...

I understand this team has taken the responsibility to develop the software to IncS in future CM releases?
Google said that all gingerbread running devices can run ICS without any problem, so it basically means that our Inc S can run it as well..
so even if HTC doesn't update our phones then we can hope to see some love for Inc S via custom ROMs..
Officially supported: I know what it means. You don't know means.
Sory for bad English.
The CM team were the ones that coined the next version as CM9, skipping CM8 as there was no Honeycomb based ROM for our phones.
I would think they plan on continuing to include CM9 for the IncS.
My 2 cents.

Agreed..
I'm pretty sure officially supported doesn't mean for one single cm version..
At least it hasn't for any of the other phones.
The HTC Magic is "officially supported". Does that have CM7.1?
If Kali and Attn1 decided they no longer wished to keep supporting the IncS then someone else would have to step up and take over.
Just because a phone is "officially supported" it doesn't mean that it's definitely going to get a future version.
it'll be such a letdown if only cm has ICS.. i'd like to see sense roms with ICS too.
(been a sense freak since day 1 of getting my incS)
One of the major reasons why I bought an HTC mobile is because HTC is the front runner in releasing updates. I hope HTC gives support to my reason. Keeping my fingers crossed.

This is all just speculation at this point it time. You both bring up good points, especially about what Kali and attn1 may decide as far as CM9, so we just need to wait and see how this plays out for the IncS.
