I think it is because lot of people want new phones quite often! If there are no buyers then there would not be any new phones.
I think we should be fortunate enough to get an ICS release for IncS. Not many manufacturers provide this kind of support to their 2 old mobile devices.

Yea...they should release it or am going to sell my phone now

Idiot
Did HTC promise you ICS when you bought your phone?
Didn't think so.

Great news I was starting to lose hope too and like it was pointed out above - can't wait for the new roms and ports when it does hit

No. you have posted on a thread in the Incredible S forum, not the HTC Desire forum.

Why another thread about this?
Even now just on the front page there are 2 other threads talking about the same updates..
It'll come when it comes...
And for all those who are whining about updates not being on time, remember your phone manufacture gains nothing (read money) by updating your phone.
They might as well sell another phone with the latest software and make money off it than having their devs work on something which will make no money.
And if by threatening to sell a particular brand of phone & never buy one again, the phone manufacturers have seen this over and over again and it is acceptable collateral. you think it's going to be any different with any other phone maker?
the logic applies for everyone.
Only iPhones have a longer support cycle of around 3 years, but hey if you are gonna be happy with what an iphone offers, me thinks you should already be there.
can we please just wait for ICS to be released rather than opening a thousand new threads about the same topic?
Please feel free to fill the existing threads with 100 pages of curses, abuses, wishes whatever....

Getting Interested!!

Hi; Vivid fans
I am looking at buying a new phone i am currently using my Samsung Infuse.
I have have been reading your forum for a couple of days no and i have a couple of questions. I am leaning towards the Vivid
Now that the phone can be unlocked can the Raider Roms be used on the AT&T phones?
Do you think now that the phone can be unlocked will there be more Devs,Roms and just over all action in the Forum?
I like my Infuse but I have all ways been a fan of HTC and would like to come back over.
Thank You,

Hi, shogunmark
Thank you for reply and asking about future activate wasn't really a literal question i just thought I would ask the members who have been for awhile if there has been an increase. and thank you again

Unlock just happened, so its hard to tell. But before unlock there were a few devs saying they would make ROMs once it got unlocked.

I for one have been waiting for this to happen. I knew it was a matter of time, but the real issue was with how long. I can finally retire my N1 and may just run over to the AT&T store to pick one up tonight.
There was alot of angst going on here on these forums over the lack of a proper root, but now with hboot now being open it's become a viable platform again.
Once I have one in hand, may end up posting my N1 up for sale on the forums to keep the old but still free Android flagship flying.
You should also take into consideration that this is a Sense-based phone so you're bound to have many potential devs looking for a new platform to bring their roms from other devices to the first ATT LTE HTC phone. I mean Desire HD has a ton of devs that could really take off with the Holiday/Raider/Vivid.

It would be good to see more join in on this forum.

[PETITION LIVE][URGENT]Everyone join the HTC source movement!

We are starting a movement toward HTC to get them to release their source code on a more timely basis such as samsung. We need as many people as we can get to do this with us because they won't listen if only users of 1 devices complains. i know others devices have been held up by htc so we are reaching out to (or at least trying to) all of the htc device forums we can in order to spread the word and get everyone involved. please take a look at the link below as it has all of the info regarding this.

Ok I understand now. I signed it but I myself have given up on HTC. Ridiculous how hard they make all their stuff to hack and they cut life support off stuff too quickly. My flyer got cut off on ****ty honeycomb and developers struggled trying to build ics for it. I was mad but eventually I said screw it and sold it and bought a nexus 7. I plan to eventually do that same with my vivid for either the galaxy nexus or the next nexus phone that comes out. Honestly anything not nexus branded just blows now.

State of Development :)

For those of you that have been around these parts for a while, you may remember the State of Development updates that good ol' Gsleon3 used to update us with. These came for us at a time when development for the Vivid seemed to be at a standstill, and for those of you that were here, you remember why. For those of you who don't, let me catch you up a little (and I apologize for the bad feelings that this may drum up, but I don't want anything to get out of control again). So grab a beer and a snack, this may be a long one
It was about April, and development for the Holiday was still in its infancy. There were a few good ROMs being released, and generally, it was a good place to be. Then accusations of stealing other's work, accusations of corrupt moderators, and all around child-like behavior started, and it became the downfall of the Holiday forum at XDA. ROM threads started closing. Then came the bickering. Then the Devs left. Then the users began to play the blame game, and the "let me try to whine my way to what I want" game. All the best devs left and opened up shop in their own little corners of the internet (and I can't blame them one bit), and development for the device was no longer centralized. There were/are still AWESOME ROMs available for this device, just not on XDA. This always made me a little sad. As painful of a place as XDA (or any internet forum for that matter) can be at times, there's sooooo much good information crammed into one site that it has always been my one-stop shop, but that wasn't true any longer. I settled in, I found a home, but I kept a close eye on what else was happening across the interweb's Holiday community. I liked to keep my eye on one project specifically, synergy's CM10 project, because who wouldn't want JellyBean, right?
Now, a little more information for those of you who weren't around.. The original CM10 thread was opened at another site in July, where the project started. Syn put a lot of time and effort into it, but in the end, found it to be not worth his time to continue on a project he didn't see possible to ever be finished (mainly due to the ATT in-call mic issue and video issues), and again, who can blame him? He abandoned the project at the beginning of August. This is where mg picked the project up, and continued it with a few fixes himself, before somehow we caught the attention of h8rift. h8 has been awesome - cleaning up our trees, getting things in their proper home, and powering through anything that gets in his way It's so great to have him around.
Myself, up until October, had only ever had experience with things like making boot animations, icons, editing .xmls in .apks, and some slight .smali edits. Thanks to mg's excellent guide and a crapton of Googling, I learned out how to compile/build cm from source. Then I thought, "I wonder if I could do the same for other JB flavors?" So guess what? I tried, and it worked. Every single question I had along the way (with the exception of a few Ubuntu and git specific questions), were answered by a thread here at XDA. Cool, right?
I am very excited to see new ROMage out for this device...as I'm sure anyone who was here through the "Great Holiday Wars of 2012" would agree, I was pretty sure what we had was all we were ever going to see. Which again, would have been OK, cause there are some great ROMs out there, but I've never been the kind of dude to settle in on the same ROM for too long - that's why I came to XDA in the first place. Now as I'm sure everyone can see, through collaboration, this project is making HUGE progress! I cannot thank mg and h8 enough for keeping it going. This brings me to my last point...
I encourage everyone to participate, and offer suggestions, and share information - that is, after all, what a developer's forum should be about. The wealth of knowledge that's available at XDA is out of this world, but sometimes hiding deep within the threads, filled by off-topic chatter and users who have way to huge a sense of entitlement. Please always keep in mind that the things you're getting here are free. Hours upon hours upon hours of work go into these projects, just to be shared for very little asked in return. Wait, we ask for something in return? Yes - READ, SEARCH, and SEARCH AGAIN before posting. Like I said, there's already a wealth of knowledge here that's incomparable to other Android forums on the web, but yes, sometimes it can be trying to find that information. But it's not impossible. Also - keep an eye on the issues list. There are bugs. There will probably always be bugs. And as long as there are, they will continue to be squished to the best of our ability (though h8's ability is far beyond mine, so let's especially be nice to him )
In closing - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not let this place become what it was before. So far I feel like the atmosphere around here has been a lot better, but I know how easy it can be for it to slip back to where it was. So be respectful, don't ask for ETAs, and be thankful for what we have - cause what we now have is a TON more options that we had before.
I remember the "Great Holiday Wars of 2012"... it was ugly, didn't even want to visit the site half the time. But things are looking up and I'm glad I didn't return my vivid thirty days after the release date like so many did.

Well said homeslice. Although I haven't been as active in my participation I got the Vivid on day 1 and am really happy to see development where it is today. There were many points I thought the device was basically dead and time and time again it was revived with new life. Hopefully the few left can make sure not to repeat drama mistakes of the past.
And great job on going from a reader to a developer, very well done.
Why is my xda premium app only let me reply/post on certain sections of forums and not development??:banghead:

i think is not fair to close a wip thread to bring a sense 4 rom to the vivid all i wanted to do is help this device users to be on the latest software as i said in the post that was closed i wasn't going to share it to everybody i want it to share it to developers to bring this rom to all users but it got closed for "kanging" which i think is not true since venom team never released a vivid rom even thou the did for rezound which is pretty similar device but cdma and korean's make their work on the rom also to make the radio work which no body here in xda could do after many tries all i want is to help the community and specific this device owners which expect more from this device and we know is capable of running this system and much more please let the development continue we are stuck right know on sense only because someone doesn't want to share their work on other devices which is ok if you are the developer of something and you don't want to share but why stop someone who is trying to help on a device you haven't released a rom I bet that many of the vivid users would like to flash a sense 4.1 rom on their devices

Sorry but we don't approve of the use of our work by non-team members and do not condone the porting of any of our roms to other devices for various reasons. One of those reasons is these roms will never meet the same level of quality and support our users have become accustomed to as such, these roms will never be allowed on xda and will also be refused Venom Hub access.

That's exactly what I want but there is a language barrier, instead of releasing could you try to make it legit here with your team? Please I know there are really good developers and they can find how to make it legit is all I ask I do not want to make an issue out of trying to help others with this device, this device is capable of running this Rom flawless just like the one x or rezound which in fact is is the same device but cdma could you help us or assign this port to one of your team members?
Or if none of you has the vivid let a vivid developer take care of it please we have really good developers here to!!

Let's just drop it. The villec2 should get its jellybean sense+ update soon, and maybe we can port it. Or maybe we can get the Koreans to share their secret. In the meantime, it appears to be elsewhere, so get it there if you must

So, the options are:
1. We remove all of our tweaks from the framework files of a kanged port of one of our roms so that you can use it as a base
2. You find a Korean translator to ask the one who got data working how he did it.
Let's not start more xda drama the vivid forum has already been thru this. Either find someone who speaks Korean to ask to translate or have them remove all of their tweaks like they ask. The vivid has come to far now to start drama over a sense 4 ROM

You don't understand the work effort in removing our tweaks from the framework so you'll need to follow up with the Koreans.
And I honestly hope we don't see any more links to this kang roms, either here or on rootzwiki.

Donations for newtoroot to develop for HTC Vivid

newtoroot is willing to develop for us if we donate a device to him. He said he we will get the same roms that he has made for the HTC Rezound (Sense4.1ICS, Sense4.5ICS, Sense4+JB), beginning with 4.1 and making his way through those roms.
I will be taking donations at the link below. As people donate, I will update this post accordingly to show every person that donates and how much they donate to make it as transparent as possible.
Once we have enough donations (hopefully within a week or two), I will go ahead and buy a HTC Vivid off of ebay (with help from you guys on choosing one) and send it to newtoroot.
Donations to date (1/8 morning): $48
htcvividnoob: $40
davebegue: $8
Interesting I'll see how much vivid's are going for on ebay.
I'm in for it let us know!!

I know people are working on getting a Sense 4.1 ICS 4.04 ROM for the HTC Holiday line, but out of curiosity would there be any interest in gathering donations and purchasing a HTC Vivid for newtoroot? He is willing to develop for us if we donate a device to him. It would be pretty awesome to have Sense 4+ with JB as an option. Trying to see how much interest there would be for this. I assume the prices of the Vivid have gone down significantly, but haven't tracked them recently.

I noticed you made your way to the AT&T One XL and powered through it as usual. Have you considered possibly taking a look at the HTC Vivid and seeing if it's possible to port one of your amazing ROMs to that device by any chance?
Thanks!

There seems to be some interest from posting in our general thread. Would you prefer us to collect donations and purchase then send you the device? Or would you rather us gather donations and send them to you so that you can buy the HTC Vivid?

How about you handle the donations and phone purchase and just send it my way once you guys have it.... Either way is fine its up to you... Thanks bud

I can take care of handling donations and buying and sending him the device. I'm a little busy today but tomorrow I'll take a look at setting up my paypal account for donations and will post more details then. If someone wants to find one on ebay that looks like it's in good condition for a decent price in the meantime that would be great. I've seen some on craigslist for around $160 but from what I understand ebay is a safer route since there is some accountability in case of blacklisted ESN (swappa does not have any HTC Vivid's listed currently). Once we know roughly how much it will cost we can see how many people are interested so we can figure out how to split the bill.
I love to see jb sense 4 on vivid
Please, if someone can do this will be fantastic...:good::laugh:
why not just see if someone can port a sense 4 rom? we just have to ask the dev hell some even put they dont care if you use their rom we just have to port from the sensation

Devs of vivid tried to port it from various ways, but they failed. Even if sense 4 roms got ported from sensation to vivid, making RIL work would be so much difficult.
Speaking of sense 4, I heard that the developer of sense 4 rom, chun has suffered from too many request PMs. Some of them were even mistranslated to Korean with google translator. He was really annoyed. Anyway, he said that the release will come soon with Leedroid tweak and much stabilzed kernel. Please, if you want to see the first sense 4 rom for vivid, let's thinks that he has his life. It will come eventually.
p.s. : He is in his vacation. He said he is enjoying skiing.
p.p.s. : However, porting sense 4+ would be different story. It is now JB, and therefore, it needs so many different drivers, and modification of framework. Even if we port sense 4+ roms to our vivid, and make it booted, RIL would be broken again.
On the bottom line, there is a saying that 'the more, the better.' I also hope newtoroot comes to our vivid, and show us some light.

i am sorry to hear his pms got blown up. I mean if we have that sense 4.1 rom couldn't we get another sense 4.1 rom without venom tweaks and swap the frameworks? like miui? I can try just need permission to use a rom. I know everyone has a life I am against bugging and rushing ppl I would just like to try in my free time

according to the developer, he requested permission with PM, but, viper team did not even answer to him. Anyway, the rom is being developed.

this is good. if he needs any help he can always ask us on here. it will be okay since we will not be using those tweaks
Posted an update in my first post on this thread. Donations open, let's see if we can make this happen this time around.
If no more donations come in within the next few days I'll be pulling the plug and returning the donation. So far only one person has shown actual interest.
Just wait for chun to be finished with his rom. get a dev to message him and ask to use his source and build a jellybean rom from it. shouldnt be that hard, if RIL is working, i cant see how updating it to jellybean will break it, it still uses the sense framework.
Donations closed and are being refunded. Hey at least it was given a shot.
Ah dammit
I just found this thread. The Vivid (well Velocity) is currently going for US$190 new here just now, branded to Telstra (so 850mhz 3g) but carrier unlocked. Is that any help?

Well considering that the total amount of donations (minus what I was going to put in) was $8, I kind of gave up on it. I'm not going to donate $180 myself (I was planning on stretching myself, but not thaaat much).
I think it would be epic to have newtoroot dev for this device. I don't think we'll get JB Sense (4+ or 5), at least not for a year plus. As cool as it is that WC is getting a 4.1 release ready, I'm not aware of any plans past that.

Which one will see more development?

Which one will gather around the most developers? The HTC One or the SGS4? This will most likely be one of my main deciding factors between the two.

If it's seriously you're deciding factor then your only real option is to wait and see. Nobody knows in the future what gets the most support, it's a progressive thing. Will HTC release source sooner? Unlock process easier? Root easy? Will Sprint post updates fast? Etc etc etc.
Too many variables to go "yep, this one" before hand.

I havent had an HTC phone since the Hero, when the Epic came out I switched and stayed until the SGS3. That being said, following some threads, BOTH phones have some GREAT developers: toastcfh for the One, Shabbypenguin for the GS4 are some of them that come to my mind since Ive used their stuff way back.
Both already have outstanding development. If this is your deciding factor then you might as well toss a coin, because they both are getting dev love.
Mods......can we shut down these GS4 vs. ONE threads?
