Database Develop

General ICS discussion

So the news is all over the place by now, today is the day ICS ruu's are rolling out in mainland China. People are freaking out and Google translate has never been used so much by members of the Xda IncS forums.
So I decided to create this thread as a general place to talk about new updates, expectations, let downs, and anything else ICS related.
It has been a long time coming (6 months or so) but it's finally starting to roll out. We await the n00bs, the new devs, the "Help!!!! I bricked my phone!" Threads, the daily flashing of CM Nightlies, user mods, and the generally missed rush of traffic here on the IncS boards.
The wait is over.
Discuss.

Good Idea, I will repost the important info I posted elsewhere:
I have found someone who is downloading the s710e update, but it is going very slowly. Probably will be tomorrow before you guys can get your hands on any ROM's but I will keep an eye on it, as soon as a file appears I will get to work!
BTW, there is an easy way to tell the difference:
The CDMA version is 4.08.1401.3 (348.1MB)
The version we want is 4.08.1400.2 (and is only 251.26MB)
And it is Sense 3.6, despite the filename saying Sense 3.5
IMPORTANT
If an image (RUU, .exe or P32IMG) appears, and you aren't planning to use it for dev or creating a mirror, then please don't download it. You won't be able to do anything with it, and it will just suck up bandwidth and slow down those who can make use of it!

The Desire S has a leaked 4.0.4, the s710d has 4.0.3.
What Version of Android will get the IncS? I hope it's 4.0.4, i can wait 1 week more for this.

Once we have the files it will be no problem for devs to keep us up to date. I strongly suggest that if anyone plans on rooting their phone to do it now as it is likely that the new ruu will come with an updated h-boot which will take time to learn how to circumvent s-off.

But i dont really want to root and s-off my phone, it runs good at the moment...

Agree with lost.prophet , download what devs tell you to thats all

Dependant on HTC Europe and you carrier, you will probably have to wait 2 - 3 months for the update officially

How could you not... generally they start with a stable version and increase functionality with every nightly build decreasing the wait time for experienced users between stable builds. As you can see I'm still on 146 and I've been waiting ever since

I highly doubt it will be any time soon and it wont be till after Europe is done getting it. But you never know, your best bet is to phone HTC or bell to get an eta.

So for the first time ICS updates are becoming Asia-centric. Can we expect Taiwan, Singapore & India to get the next updates? Or will they switch to EU, as usual?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA

I think the updates roll out in a geographic circle starting in Asia but I could be wrong.

Any News On a Sense 5.1 Port?

Is there any news on a port of the Sense 5.1/4.2.2 OTA that leaked for the J Butterfly last week? Is it even possible? Sorry for the noob question, I'm coming from a GNex so all this HTC business is new to me. Thanks :good:

Hi

Finally the dump isn't the full system.

For what? The HTC One will get an update this summer, if not sooner.
I don't see a reason to make the port since we are going to get an official update soon

U will get the official Sense update by end January. BTW official CM11 nightlies are available

Or you can unlock,flash custom recovery and use a sense based 4.4 custom rom.

The developer edition is Sense, Google Play edition is AOSP(mostly)

In the UK my gsm handset was purchased from phones4u who I believe had the exclusive on this colour.

i forgot to ask above but what actually is the benefits of the developer addition?

Personally i dont see any benefits. It gets updates a little bit sooner but nothing big. If you get an actual developer edition device though you get 64gb of storage and unlocked bootloader

Thank you for the insight! However, I don't see in your picture whether HTC is referring to the SPRINT M7. Does HTC know you are asking about Sprint?

I was told we (the m7) will be getting 4.4.4 and skipping 4.4.3??
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

from what i see, we will be getting 4.4.3 but 4.4.4 fixes are in the 4.4.3 update. (don't ask me how that is possible lol) i do not know why the android version is still 4.4.3 but looks like we will be on par.

From what I understand most if not all 4.4.4 "fixes" were nexus specific with the exception of the security exploit. To save time HTC implemented the security exploit fix with the rest of the 4.4.3 code.

What's new in 4.4.3?
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Not sure if this means the update is coming... I got the HTC Service Pack update via the Google Play Store. No listing of what changed.

I don't think the update referred to in the OP is for us. I keep seeing reports that the carrier M7s are staying in 4.4.2 until L is out.

Here, last paragraph. Not sure how reliable it is, but the only reference to the M7 being updated is the GPE, unlocked and Dev editions. Hope I'm wrong...

The few articles I read where a bit confusing because they say the M7 is getting updated to 4.4.3 but then say the M7 won't be updated until 5.0 is out. Too bad Mo isn't clarifying things either.
My guess in only the Dev and GPE will get updated due to their stock android while Sprint M7 misses out.
