[Q] ICS update - HTC EVO 3D

Is the official ICS update that is rolling out (not yet for Sprint) any different from the one released for Virgin Mobile that is part of the various ICS ROMs out there?

What about the Boost mobile one.. forgot the name but i saw it under roms page

What ever happened to the rule that YOU COULDN'T POST UNLESS YOU HAVE 25 posts else where? lol. Gotta love when the first thing someone asks is the same question that has been asked 20 times in the same week.
BUT SERIOUSLY!? HOW WOULD we know if it is different? how would any person on this site know when and how and where it is rolling out?
To answer your questions. YES IT IS DIFFERENT! How? idk. no one knows unless you're a direct employee of HTC or sprint that works directly in that department developing the software for the phone. Last time I checked... they would never leak any information like that out unless it is already out.

I believe it is essentially the same. I'm trying to get some guys to work on a Jelly Bean ROM. I don't have ICS yet so I will probably skip it and go straight to 4.1

thats to be able to post in the xda developers section, where would he get the 25 posts from, hmm?
i bet you feel slow

I have a question wasn't the evo 3D suppose to get the LTE also cause it could support it or some type of capability that's close to LTE and that's probably why we didn't get the ICS yet?

who said that? a rep, a clerk, a tech, who? okay, even if it was someone with "inside info" they would be one of a thousand ive been reading on these boards for months saying when it was coming. It was supposed to be december, then late december, then early january and it just keeps on going up until this pitiful thread. it will come when it comes and the only official date i will go by is the one verizon and/or htc establish.
Doesn't the incredible come out tomorrow? Thats the only reason I thought it MIGHT.

It would seem that way unless you can explain yourself or your sources. If you're right i'll eat my words but I'm 99.99999998% sure you're full of ****, or like I said, misinformed. It's not an attack on your personally, you're just the umpteenth person I've seen claiming the exact same thing.
Cheerio
I'm not taking this personally, because I believe you just may have misread my post.
I said I would guarantee that the update is NOT coming out tomorrow.
So you are saying you are 99.9999999% sure it is?

I completely apologize, you are right. I did misread and am a little embarrassed. You are right though sir, it will not be out tomorrow.
No need to apologize. Simple misread. Happens to all of us. To be honest, I went and re read my post 10 times to make sure I didn't make the mistake, because I wouldn't put it past myself.
/facepalm
This thread is on the failboat down the 2.1 River!
from somewhere i read,it was said we werent goin to get the update due to the release of the HTC Incredible taking over and being the newest with 2.1..dont remember where i read it.but patiently we are waiting for this release,hope it does or at least tell us if/and if its goin to come out or not for our phones,would be nice
Well it's the 29th @10:30 and still nothing! LOL.......Not gonna hold my breath!
They never release updates on thursday.. who's smoking crack?
and We will NEVER get the 2.1 release, VZ has better things to support with the incredible.
Sad but true, I would love to be wrong.

I think you are mistaken. Why would they not release 2.1? Its on HTC to come up with the update, Verizon just tests it before they release it. Supposedly HTC is releasing 2.1 for the Hero on sprint this month which is an older phone. I think they will upgrade us, as promised, when its ready. VZ always updated older Blackberry's when the new OS updates came out even if the phone was old and replaced. I think DjCalvin is just speculating.

Is ics almost here?

I just went to check whether an update is released (I was bored) and It said "an update is available for your phone, but the servers are busy." What do you guys think this means? There's a thread on this for the skyrocket too...

threads like this are useless. For two reasons. A) we already have fully functional ics releases. With less bloat than the official ics will have. And b) use Google search. U can check the status of ics for our device yourself. And grab news about possible release dates.

This thread is useful for two reasons.
1. Samsung hasn't officially released a date yet and there really hasn't been a word on a Google search as to whether or not ICS has been released for the AT&T Galaxy S2.
2. Not everyone prefers the modified versions of the ROM, and though there is bloat on the AT&T versions, not everyone's incredibly satisfied with the custom ROM's (I am personally, but yeah, not everyone's down for the custom ROM's).
3. If the official ICS did come out, it can provide something or another to make the current custom ROM's better, such as the ability to get Google Wallet (or ISIS) working, for example.
I appreciate that this is a forum for developers, but that still doesn't allow us to flame every new thread that comes on here that's not created by one of the elite or something or another >.>

Dude. When ICS hits it hits. And if u can't find anything on Google about ics release dates or possible release dates u aren't searching right. Either way when it does drop u go right ahead and flash that buggy bloated OS. I'll stick with my AOKP.
Edit: I sound like a douche in this post. So no more arguing. Hope we get official ics too sometime soon. But odds are I won't flash it anyway ;-p

Oh you're right about this being a developers forum but you're completely wrong about the assumptions that only "elite" members can post. You're about as wrong as humanly possible. We only yell at people for threads like these because it does NOT help any developer in any way and this question gets asked over and over again all in separate threads which bog down the forums an leave less room for the more legitimate questions/ posts. And once you've been on here a while you usually know when you should post a thread or when you shouldn't. I've created a total of 2 threads and only one of them was a thread asking a question (the other was for a pair of cm7 themes) and I made sure it hadn't been asked before. Understand a little better?

I am with you on how this i777 should behave and tone down but you list 3 reasons that I think useless, or should I say "non-productive", here's why
1. If you google/search and find nothing, you MUST think, I mean automatically think, that it is either NOT NOW or NEVER happen. Just like when you search a word and it isn't in the dictionary, you should automatically know that the word is not exist or not being defined yet.
2. custom ROM is for who love to flash, if ones don't want to flash, why would they come here in first place? Moreover, if AT&T decide to release their OFFICIAL ICS for this i777, the owners would get the update automatically, right? Then why stop here anyway
3. If the official ICS did come out? if so, then search/google in step one already yield some results.

Not everyone roots/roms. I'm waiting on the official update. From past experiences there are people within the industry on this sitewho have information that isn't yet released to the public.

Do YOU think we'll get ICS 4.1 "Jelly Bean"?

Hello,
Simple question:
Do you think we guys with our evo'S will ever get the 4.1-Android "the official way"?
idk what you guys have it with "official", our devs work hard to give us unofficial stuff and i think we should appreciate that more.
i'd love to see a JB unofficial (if even) for our htc evo 3d gsm.
No.

Sprints already given up on the 3D, I'm going to say no.
Nope, we will never ever see an official JB Update.
Short answer....absolutely not
At this point we will be lucky to see ICS 4.0.
A 4.1 JB Official release is a pipe dream, not going to happen.
Lord, not another one of these "do you guys think we'll get," threads.
At this point we will be lucky to see ICS 4.0.

I see ICS on my 3devo every day, thanks to the developers. ;-)
I don't think we'll see an official JB OTA, but I really hope we see an ICS OTA and source release. If we get the updated kernel source, XDA will produce a JB daily driver.
there have been over 15 threads in this one section on the same question in the last 3 days. hmmmm interesting.
ICS and JB seem to be similar to each other that ud hope it could just be upgraded without much work... but you forget that most of us are now running Sense 3.6 and that would have to be worked on as well. given that only this device a few others even have sense 3.6 the answer is clearly that ..
it will never occur.
im sure project butter and even 90 percent JB roms will be made... if anyones working on it, hope they speak up
Well hopefully everyone that's thinking of creating another thread like this will be able to comprehend the answer is "NO" (In Our Opinion), and be able to resist. Cuz seriously, these type threads just clutter things up for everyone, and help no-one.
No offense to OP.

Yeah this has been on pocketables over here and here also over at rootzwiki over here
Believe it or not, a large number of people used the site to either make ROMs or to restore their devices either prior to sending it back to HTC or because they had an issue with a custom ROM.
It sucks BUT it is what it is, HTC has lost a few dozen future customers and counting, over this (myself included)

Welcome to AT&T! Home of the slowest updates. And according to the HTC site AT&T is still only in "Stage 2 - Integration stage" meaning their still loading all their bull**** bloatware onto it. Haven't even begun testing.
They gave up on the m8. I think anyone who knows phones will soff and go to Dev or flash international
Here is AT&T's "reply" (if thats what you want to call it) to Lollipop release.

I don't think they've given up either. At least HTC certainly hasn't, as for now its still the premiere flagship in their lineup. As for AT&T, they've always been agonizingly slow on updates, and have actually been doing better on the M8 than some past devices.
It also needs to be considered that AT&T/HTC included a feature that on 4.4.4 that the other versions don't have (VoLTE) so comparing the release dates is a bit apples and oranges.
Hopefully 5.0 won't be as delayed. You would think that since they now figured out the VoLTE issue, we wouldn't have a similar delay on LP. On the other hand, it would seem a bit odd to have 5.0 roll out right after 4.4.4.
Well ladies and gentlemen its official, we're the last to get the Lollipop update. Sprints M8 just got it. AT&T, theres a seat in hell for these people.

True, just sucks being last. If it wasnt for AT&T having VoLTE I'd just convert to international.
Maybe they are waiting for Google to fix the memory leak issue plaguing current LP versions?
