Hey guys I've played with the beta releases that some great devs have uploaded but I am still not understanding if HTC will releasea version with sense or are all incs users up shot creek without a paddle? Seems kind of stupid if we don't get it my phone runs the betas with no slow downs at all.
Any help with this would be great.

From what I've heard,HTC hasn't published any concrete press statements on weather they will upgrade Inc s to ics.The most likely outcome-they probably won't upgrade it,considering the late arrival of even sense 3.0.Luckily,devs are doing much appreciated work of keeping our device alive.
In regards to virtuous quatro beta1, I can't seem to connect properly to a wifi router,which uses wpa[psk] encription,it connects but nothing on the browser loads and wifi icon is grey.WPA2 router works just fine.Any ideas?Thanks
That is a huge let down as why they would kill this phone it is amazing if HTC kills us that is ridiculous

ICS for incs
I don't think htc is going to update our device. But there is allready one good ICS custom rom!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424260
I used this rom now for a few days now, and it runs really smooth!! Only the camera doesn't work, but i'll think they get it fixed soon. There working hard on this rom! So if you wan't to get ICS on your device, you should give it a trie!
Ya I tried it and love it hence my frustration with HTC if the modding comunity can release such a.beautiful working Rom than why can't a billion dollar company. Especiallysince we dumped about 800 bucks into a.phone last April that is now being left in the dust like a old run down Buick lol

Chances are that we'll miss out on some native ICS love. They'll probably provide an update for devices from a certain date and anything prior to that will be left behind.
Given the lack of support for us IncS users, I wouldn't be surprised. Not to matter though. Give it time and we'll all be running CM9!
I'm curious, why can't the IncS get ICS? It should have everything it would need to run it, sans heavy lag from sense.
1.0 Ghz single core, 768MB DDR2, Adreno 205 sounds more like plenty needed to run it. It seems most devices that were killed from ICS have 512MB RAM or less. ICS is very memory dependent, so that extra 256 is helping tide it over from stuff compared to Desire OG and Desire Z.
Last month HTC announced the Evo Design 4G was going to get it. That thing only has a 200mhz gain on the Incredible S - 1.2Ghz single core, 768MB DDR2, Adreno 205.
IMO, 200 mhz of CPU difference is not going to be that noticeable...
Like I said, I don't believe it's a descriminate issue that means we'll be left out, but more an issue with the time the IncS was released.
Don't get me wrong, I desperately hope that we get some Official ICS love, but i'm not terribly confident about it.
Root your phone and you can flash one of the custom ICS Rome's that's already available for IncS.
I talked to a HTC rep down under who said this phone will not get ICS under any Oz carrier OTA

New virtuous Cuattro Beta 9 available!!
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
RC1 available! Virtuous team really rocks. All my respect, they are simply awesome. I'm using BS player and LG cam app. Works smooth, few bugs, like the photo widget one... But I guess that now the effort will be focused on improving the camera, which is working.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Installed and works nearly perfect
Virtuous Quattro RC2 works pretty well on my IncS. Loving ICS so far! I did notice that we have a 8 megapixel camera but with this Virtuous Quattro we are only using 5 megapixels....
I don't care if a stock ics update arrives ota or not. I'm using miui and it's way better than the sense stock rom. As for ics version, there would be lots of custom roms to choose from. So don't worry guys IncS is capable to get nearly all of the custom time out there....

Sure, IMHO, HTC is by far too "sense-centric". It's their way to ensure they are at least as cool as the others in California. But for the average Android user "coolness" is not a deal breaker factor.

yes.we do.

Do you think it'll be ported by someone later on to the Vivid, or will there be an issue due to hardware?
we need Sense 4.0 first which we don't have ported yet
I see.....this maybe wishful thinking, but I do hope the sense 4.0 port finishes soon and, when available, have the one x camera on it. One can only hope.

I'm tired of HTC. If you've had an htc you know what I'm talking about. My reason has to do with source code and their violation of the gpl, hardware issues etc..It seems they are now quantity over quality.
I'd like to get an idea of how many people are leaving or have left HTC. Maybe we can send them this see if they care about their financial loss.
HTC Amaze for possibly a Nexus.
I've loved all my HTC phones, I've never had an issue with one that I didn't have with at least one other maker. Although I've switched to Motorola recently, I still believe in htc.

Those were the days. Their sense is awesome. Sense bliss 3.5, ICS sense 3.6, sense 4 (awesome ) but now not enough development on them plus now you got horrible light bleeding from the capacitive keys to WiFi issues on their newest one x. To them not being development friendly.

So I was on HTC's website today just looking, then I saw they had another phone coming out. Desire C. Looked at the specs here http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_c-4759.php HTC didnt have it on their website yet. When we get our update rolled out it is only coming with Sense 3.6 because they said our specs were too low. But when you look at the Desire C specs they are worse than the Incredible s and its getting sense 4.0.
Desire C specs
600mhz processor
512mb RAM
Incredible S
1GHZ processor
768mb RAM
Why is HTC holding out on us!!!!!
Im running NIKHIL007's Project X and its awesome!! cant understand why HTC wouldnt be able to have sense 4.0 included.
Are their developers not as good as the guys here on XDA?
Giving us the latest version of sense would kind of defeat the purpose of buying a new phone
They would be shooting themselves in the foot so to speak

True enough. But I dont go and buy a phone based on if it has the latest software. I would buy a new phone based if it has better specs. They should be keeping their current users happy no?
This phone's old now. They want people to ditch it and go pick up the latest HTC phones. Hence why they brought the one series out.

But there isn't one. There's v,x,s,xl. Hence why they want each HTC customer to update to one of those. There's one for each price bracket etc.

Just think its stupid is all. They bring the update out but can't include the newest software . It's the last update for our phone. The one series will have a few more. Well at least one.

2 words; Project X. It's a brilliant rom with sense 4.
As said, the manufacturers aren't going to update forever as people wouldn't buy new phones!
We're all waiting for nik's new sense 4 rom, project x transformer. It'll revolutionize the inc s industry. The virtuous infinity is a one s based rom too, just that it's a little bit oversized (no hate).

Sorry, but... what's it with sense4 that makes it so special? (I know it is ICS, but except for that)
I think they all kinda looks the same after 3.0...
And I haven't used sense since over a year ago, so haven't really bothered with all different sense versions

For me its the whole user interface. I have been one to love sense since it came out. Loved it when I had a windows phone and still love it with android. Ive tried other UIs but still like sense way more. i like the look of sense 4.0 just some minor differences and big differences between 3 and 4.
But yes I cant wait till NIK releases Project X Transformer. Since he started making ROMs Ive been with his work since, only reason I am staying with my Incredible S

I could last the whole day on niks prj X Rom with 3g with moderate to heavy usage. 10 percent drain overnight at the most?
ARHD GB and Trinity also gave me excellent battery.
Icecold and CM7 continued to deplete my battery even when on standby. Can't last a day with icecold!

12hours with 3G, data and wifi on all the time and I've got 57% left.
Overclocked to 1.3GHz and I've been using my phone quite a lot. And I'm on ice cold
When idle it drains <1%/hour for me.
Anyway, seems like Sense roms have decent battery life
Now I'm gonna stop hijacking this thread.

These phones may be old compared to the One Series etc but at least they had removable batteries, full size sims and better memory options....I love the One X but the lack of removable battery put me off so I went for the Galaxy S3 which is proving to be fairly good.
All I know is that I'm never getting another HTC phone again

You're kidding right?
Why not? I expect to see a ('legal') Sense 4+ very soon
really? lol its been hard enough to get sense 4.1
There's at least three different ROMs from across the pond.
And I think one may be clean.
At least it appears to provide the option of what tweaks not to install.
But I'm not that knowledgeable to be able to check for sure.
Right now I'm running one without using those tweaks as a daily driver and haven't had any issues.
Lately I've been reading up a lot more on developing to better understand 'what's under the hood' so that I don't step on any toes.

Hey guys. I just got an account today. I've had the Vivid since Winter 2011 and really want some Jelly Bean on my device and still have another year until my contract ends.
Do you guys have jelly bean on your Vivid? And is it stable? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Lets all hope for more development on the Vivid.
Regarding those Sense 4 and 4.1 ROMs that some of you have, do any of them have a working FM radio? or have you heard of a fix for it?
Thanks in advance
Doesnt work on mine. Never even tried until you asked. Too many radio/music apps to choose from, so no loss for me.

Hey Homeslice ive been trying to install your sense 4.1 rom but all it keeps giving me is status 1 error in TWRP and in CWM
i have S-ON my friend is scared to turn it off could that be the cause?
I wouldn't think so. Can you get me the recovery log, or is there any text that goes along with status 1?
Just remembered I had a pm from someone else experiencing the same and it was just a bad download. Try redowbloading if you haven't already
