oh sorry im proper new too this. :good: but thankyou jerryhou85 uve made my day.

Yes, support should start from Cyanogenmod 10 or possibly 10.1 but take note that it may be buggy at first release..noone knows for sure yet how it will turn out

I still wish there's an ICS build for this device. JB is great but for compatibilities sake of older apps which aren't maintained anymore I also want an ICS or GB build or both

Well I guess you'll be out of luck for all new phones in that case. I'm not even sure there are drivers for ICS available for the APQ8064. Qualcomm had it running on their reference platform quite a while ago, but all devices with an APQ8064 were brought to market with Jelly Bean.

So because you've got apps that you can't be bothered replacing, that aren't maintained any more because the devs can't be bothered... you expect sony to release a totally different OS for their phone? Or, how about you just find replacement apps, or pester the lazy devs into updating. This is totally not an issue from Sony,.,,, just lazy app devs.

I did say I only wished for it. Never demanded or at the very least ask for it so no biggie with that. Also you can't bother any dev who decided to discontinue support for their apps so yeah pretty much either getting newer alternatives or live without those apps. Some of the noteable apps I was saying was the chainfire 3d and flash player. So good luck bothering adobe for asking to continue flash for jellybean and about chainfire? There are hundreds of android users who asked him to make chainfire 3d work for ICS and above but he said it's just too hard or worse not possible and most of all you can't say they're lazy devs.

moto also released the D3's source to sourceforge today. wouldn't that include the audio bits?
I am of course looking at the source for ICS as we speak..
Possibly even testing how the source compiles.
But, I don't want to send the wrong message. I don't think ICS will be usable in any real way for the D3 till I either get source built up for the omap audio stuff (or a new kernel)
I'm just toying around with it, and getting use to the new layers.
@sarreq: I don't see any new source on Sourceforge for the moment:

I've been following Hascode's CM7 since I got my D3. He's been great and the support and discussion on it is great. Haven't read too much on the release of CM9 but seems like ICS is the main feature it needs before its release. I'm excited to try more ROMS on the D3, great phone!
This topic is way too small aosp android 4.0 roms are popping up everywhere except here
im sure you could repo it and give it a shot! lol

Yes, alpha, buggy, useless roms.
Look, it will take us a while to get it running but we will have it. Just relax.
I'd like to repeat: I'm not ignoring ICS
I'm actively working on it in my spare time between: D3 CM7 updates, Safestrap updates, and helping with the CM7 for Bionic.
Add to that: I'm also watching CM9 develop and doing testing there as well (I have 3 repo's going at the moment).
AndroidSims has is correct tho: It will be a toy to play with for the moment, even if I get it booting to the OS. No audio, no phone.
IMHO, CM9 w/ our current kernel will get us a lot further due to the compatibility issues. But, obviously CM9 will take a while.

What's about CM10

I want not talk to much
Just want to create a topic where people can write their news about CM 10.
I think such a thread could be interesting for people that followed the Google I/O, and heard from Android 4.1 - Jelly Bean ;-)
So let's start the topic ;-)
OMG... so bad of the devs to not even have ported Jellybean yet!
Just kidding, not one of the average xda-trolls. Hoping someone will port it but as long as the source isn't released, with only the sdk there will be alot of bugs. Apprecciate all of your work devs
It will be better then cm9 and have 4.1 features. Cool!
My stock GS3 is kind of like CM9

So it's going to be called CM10?
Thought it would be CM9.1 as I think google said jelly bean isn't a major revision or something

But Honeycomb was a minor update to Gingerbread and it was going to be cm8, which is why ICS ended up as cm9.
Why are u guys discussing on such a stupid topic. There will be jb for sgs. There will be cm10. Just wait for the source to open. No need to fill xda with ****ty discussions.

I can only say "Soon". Keep looking at this space.
Like you guys might already know, not much changes. JB is said to be fast but CM9 is already at par. Can't confirm much at the moment. But keep looking out here.
Thanks.

What performance can we expect from official jelly bean?

Personally I'm not impressed by cm10 and the other custom jelly bean ROMs, I know it's Samsung's fault because they haven't released the source code and I'm starting to wonder if we should expect a big step in performance from the official jb update.
The devs will probably know the shortfall of the current custom ROMs so should be able to better answer my question.
Any smart predictions on when it might be out too?

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well i will agree with u you to some extent. If wr compare cm 9 with cm 10. Cm9 was revolutionary but its not the devs fault. Because JB has nothing new in it for general people like us. Just a lil more smoother experience which is less perceptible for most with a good ics experience. I would say google should make it an update rather than a whole new flavor. But its their choice its their OS. Mostly a marketing strategy to make us feel obsolete and force us to upgrade. But i am happy wih my note and its dev community. Still so much to do on it.

Stable CM 10...for Incredible S?

CyanogenMod just released CM10 STABLE for a lot of devices...Just in case anyone's interested, maybe there's a phone in this list that the files, with a few tweaks, could work on our Inc S...

It would be cool to finaly have a perfect AOSP rom! :fingers-crossed:

No Vivo isn't in the "Stable" list, last official CM version for Vivo is 7. something...
So yeah the reason i posted is for someone to try and use maybe HTC One's rom and see if it could be reworked for Inc S.
We already have CM10 build with us. But we have one huge roadblock, we don't have asop kernel to run this ROM.
I think this post should have been in general section and not in development section.

One S cannot simply be reworked to work with our phone. It has entirely different hardware. Not like it shares a processor or anything

I'd say most likely that is the case. You will have to be happy with what we have at moment with possibility of some improvements of currents roms and maybe 1-2 more new roms but I doubt any stable cm9 or 10 will be available.

Yup, looks like the last dying moments of our phone..... finally age has caught up with our phone ... :angel: (RIP)
Today one of my colleague brought his newly bought Samsung note 2..... my phone looks like so puny and outdated in front of his phone
After that I realized, whatever update we may get, it will not be very smooth as new phones in market are.....
Anyways whatever may happen,I still love my phone and would keep it with me whether we would get CM 9/10 , JB etc or not....
three cheers for HTC incredible S :good::good::good:

[Discussion] Android 4.4 KitKat

While looking at this website: http://www.android.com/kitkat/index.html I found this:
Could this mean Google is tackling their fragmentation? If so, would 4.4 come out to ALL devices ? Also to 4x HD ? Would LG skip 4.2.2 / 4.3 and update to 4.4 ? love to hear your thoughts and opinions about this. Off topic posts welcome too
No no no no no no no and, finally, NO :banghead:
Em.. we're talking about LG They've abandoned our phone and they also have a bad reputation about updates. We didn't even get 4.2.2 and won't get anything new that will come out. I personally don't care.. we have GREAT devs that are keeping our phones updated to the latest versions of Android! Because of them, our phone won't die soon! It's really a shame for LG because Optimus 4X is a hell of a phone with good hardware and everything!
Android 4.4 is nothing more than a marketing operation. I do not think that this update will add a lot of new feature to our phone. I guess it is a minor update just like 4.3 or even less.
Why should we count on LG now ?
We have the official support of the CM team, PAC team, MIUI team. We have a lot if great devs who ported ALL the best ROMs for our phone.
If Android 4.4 is released we will get it with cm10.3 (maybe ?) So do not think about LG anymore since we do not need LG.
Anyway to come back to the discussion, I believe that this update won't be that important. However I'm impatiently waiting for Android 5.0 (if there is no 4.5 before...) because I think that this will be a great and important update, just like 2.3 to 4.0.x :thumbup:

Indeed it is relative, but I don't agree on Broadcom being the worst. The BlueDroid stack to which Google swapped BlueZ in Android 4.2 is now under the Apache license. It was a commercial project before. LG and nVidia doesn't provide anything, just what they have to (i.e. the Kernel).

as the N7 also has tegra 3 and some other same HW, we are able to "borrow" some blobs, drivers and co

I read several things about the fragmentation. Google is "sorting" out the android source. It will consist of several parts to make it easier to port devices.

I wouldn't exactly call it old, aging maybe. But you're right: Wild guesses don't help anyone. Our phone is not getting an update through LG though, that's for certain. Manufacturers just don't care enough about their "aging" products.
