[Q] Any chance of us getting Sense 5? - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

Are we going to get sense 5? The incredible has a krait, after all, and all other S4 phones seem to be getting it.

We havent got a sense 4+ yet when HTC is supposed to deliver us that... Sense 5 I think could be a possibility, but I don't think so.... Unless a dev builds it from scratch

a similar phone to the inc4g would really need to get sense5 to port it (and of course we need jellybean of our own first)
and since sense5 no longer uses m10 files (which is what is typically resized on roms now to fit different resolutions) not sure on the sizing issues
and theres no "building from scratch" its taking an existing rom and hacking it up to work on this device

that would fall under similar phone
whether or not i bother with it will probably depend how large the inc4g community is at that point (guessing i wont be the one attempting it though)

Why do you keep saying this? Go to Settings > About and look at the version under Sense.
EDIT: OK, HTC has incredibly stupid version names.

No, he's right. Sense 4+ is the actual version name above 4.1. We've only gotten 4.1 so far. NBD anyway, Cyanogenmod is much better than any Sense ROM.

I believe the misunderstanding is that Sense 4+ is a different version other than what we have but Sense 4.x is actually what we have. If I'm wrong please correct me.
It's not a glitch this isn't Wreck it Ralph

mdmower sense goes from 2.1 to 5.0, respestive order is
2.1 2.5(2.1 on gingerbread) 3.0 3.5(GB) 4.0 4.1(ICS) 4+(jelly bean) 5.0(only HTC one for now) and I still think 4+ will eventually be rolled out but sense 5 will be a hard port since resizing is gonna be harder

Well easyish assuming we have jellybean by then
And would have to be hacked up for LTE (not a huge deal but still a hurdle)

Unfortunately, being on Verizon, we are S.O.L. I doubt we'll see 4+ or Sense 5. I doubt we will even see JellyBean before most of us are eligible for upgrades. So for those like me who aren't in to flashing customer ROMS, we probably will not see it.

well, sure it might take some time before a possible JB update from verizon arrives for us. but personally I'd be fine if that's just 4.1.2 (latest 4.1.x JB that brings us "project butter" ) ...and comes with Sense4+. Sense4.1 already slimmed down the visual effects quite a bit and from my piont of view, Sense5 is slimmed down too much, over-simplified and removes that neat lock-ring that HTC Sense is so much well known for *haha* ... i'd really hate to loose it!

Stock ICS 4.0.4

I hear some one have an Amaze 4G running ICS 4.0.4, but when update from OTA, I got 4.0.3 (TMobile).
Any one know what OTA (or leaked) can I use for 4.0.4?
Another question: Can I flash an OTA from Telus or Wind on my TMobile?
Thank.

If you want to flash RUU from another carrier, you'll need to have s-off and super cid.

I'd hate that, knowing this phone could do with the lighter version of sense, but then again, JB is pretty smooth and completely lag free, so even if you guys are stuck on sense 3.6, once you get the update at all, you'll be in heaven, trust me.
Yea I think so I'm just curious to see how they approach the update

It shouldn't be that difficult noting JB wasn't a major overhaul the way ICS was, so working with it should be simple, once they don't push too much bloat into it and slow down the system, which with the work google put in, shouldn't be affected at all.
It cant be sense 4 because sense 4 is ICS, in theory since sense 4 is ics they cant make sense 3.x jellybean because the order would be broken of versions....they might give a sense 4.1 and give one s users sense 4.5 of something along those lines

lol wut?
Anyways, several things.
1. Why the need for 4.0.4? I've looked at the change log, doesn't seem like all that much that I'd really care about
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Android_4.0.x_Ice_Cream_Sandwich
Don't we have custom camera software anyways?
Damn, gotta have that smoother screen rotation....
2. Why the need for Sense 4? I've used a phone with Sense 4, and to be honest, Sense 3.6 and 4 are very similar, just 4 has a few quirks (recent apps screen, widgets in the app drawer, couple extra cloud services, what else?).

3. I doubt HTC would bump the sense version if we get JB.

Yes but apparently sense versions below 4 are huge hogs, even HTC admited it was, so they made sense 4 much more lighter. And, if HTC gave us older devices ics with an slightly updated sense 3.6 instead of 4, then they might give us sense 4 while probably a new gen HTC's with a newer version of sense releases, makes SENSE to me ahhahahaha pun intended

Not gonna happen. Multiple times they've stated legacy devices that shipped pre-ICS will not get Sense 4. They want to maintain the same look & feel as when the phone shipped, so as not to upset most people. Granted, basically anyone on xda would probably rather have AOSP from the manufacturer, but the general public won't. Eg. my girlfriend has the Evo 3D and says she won't update to ICS when Sprint releases it next month because they got rid of the arc tray at the bottom on the home screen. She had a friend who has the Evo V 4G, saw what ICS would look like on her phone, and has completely ruled it out.

Do you think HTC will release JB for Amaze soon? Cause they have new flagship device like OneX, and I think they will port JB for these flagship with higher priority. Our Amaze is "old" for them. lol.

[Q]will we gets sense 4.1 update?

i just saw a news said that one series will gets a new sense version
and it's much faster than before and quick settings added by htc so will we gets that?
Officially, never in a million years.
We got Sense 3.6 with our official ICS update, while other devices got Sense 4.0.
So when we didn't even get Sense 4.0, we won't get an even newer version than that.
Unofficially, then absolutely 100% sure that we'll get some form of newer versions of Sense should it be released.

Most likely no. Never from HTC or Sprint. We may get a port but I seriously doubt any real development will be done.

I agree.
All Sense 4.0 ROMs still have major bugs.
HTC didn't release it for our phones with the ICS upgrade, so they won't release 4.1.
And, the development by devs on this forum is unlikely, since, like I said, Sense 4.0 ROMs still have major bugs, which means Sense 4.1 will only create more.
Not from Sprint
I agree, Sprint is not going to help us out. They were slow enough to roll out the office ICS update for us. And I haven't seen any evidence that HTC is planning this either.
I contacted HTC and they said that they are trying to get JB on as many devices as possible, may be a possibility, they don't have enough new devices to fit the title "as many devices as possible"... The one series has what, 3 phones.?

Its not that they don't have enough devices its that they don't want to make empty promises like with that Desire HD scandal.
They just want to test Jelly Bean thoroughly so they are sure the device will get better with new software.
As for the OP question nope not in a million years i even doubt we will get Jelly Bean even thought HTC is the best with the updates on the market but i think they won't bother to get us latest Android and beside Google Now has been ported to us and im already using it so now all i need is expendable notifications and then im all set.

Yeah, pretty much we'll have to rely on the community. Choosing to push ICS with 3.6 pretty much means 4.0 ain't happening.
I'd say even with JB, we'd be on 3.6

An official Jellybean release for the fireball is likely (source), but any release dates are purely speculative. The task of porting a Jellybean+Sense based ROM, from EVO 4G LTE for example, is not a simple endeavor. Definitely not something I am equipped to handle.

This is correct, I don't appreciate the sarcasm guys. The DNA is much more powerful than the Gnex and it has been out since November and so has 4.2.
4.2 mostly added changes for tablets, there really wasn't much changed for phones over 4.1 besides adding that new photosphere. That's mainly the reason why Google didn't bother to give it a new code name. I doubt it's worth the effort to upgrade.
I think everyone needs to remember what goes into these things. Clearly none of you have worked in an IT department before. Google releases a new version. HTC will get it, and then begins customizing it for their devices. They have to adjust the firmware, rebuild sense... it's not small development work. Then it goes into QA for a while to make sure it's up to par. Then it's released to Verzion and goes into their QA. Problems that arise during these phases are corrected and retested. Finally after it's all signed off, it's scheduled for release. That process can and does take months. It's the significant drawback for the android platform. Apple on the other hand would have been done with their initial release. Google Nexus phones get all the upgrades because Google tests everything for them before they release the new version.

Yes but the change from 4.1 to 4.2.isn't that drastic that it would take this long to release it considering it came out when the DNA did.

It is extremely unrealistic to expect a heavily skinned HTC device to get updates at the same speed as a device running just stock vanilla Android.
The Sense overlay is massive, and requires a lot of tuning and customization in order to function properly. Throw a new version of Android at HTC, and they have to spend a lot of time to make 'Sense' of things, if you take my meaning. The first thing they have to figure out is whether or not the update will even improve the user experience. What if there's no benefit to the end user because the update was mainly for tablets (as the previous poster said). Or, is it worth the cost of re-tooling Sense for an extremely minor update?
All this hating on HTC over updates on fairly new phones is really unfair.
Now the Rezound ICS update debacle was unforgivable, but this device hasn't even been out 6 months, and they've already put out an OTA with new radios. Dude, that's freaking awesome support!
So instead of all the negativity, how about congratulating HTC on lessons learned from the Rezound delays, and enjoying what you've got?

Now the Rezound ICS update debacle was unforgivable, but this device hasn't even been out 6 months, and they've already put out an OTA with new radios. Dude, that's freaking awesome support!
So instead of all the negativity, how about congratulating HTC on lessons learned from the Rezound delays, and enjoying what you've got?

You are right but the new android isn't that different aside from the lock screen. I am not hating on HTC it's more than likely Verizon.

Man idk why you even started this topic? Have you been on Android or VZW for any length of time whatsoever? This shouldn't be a surprise. I mean we will probably see AOSP 4.2 from one of the devs long before we see 4.2 or even sense 5(which we already have) from VZW. Updates for phones that aren't a Nexus always take a long time and VZW is notorious for making that wait even longer.

Woah woah woah... Sense is NOT skinned / heavily modded its a completely built up OS based on Aosp/Linux kernel
Two totally different things

Yea, my brother got it last week for his Nexus.

4.2 Evo LTE w/ Sense 5?

Just came across this article, figured I'd share it with you all. Seems reassuring.

It seems pretty legit to me. But I've been wrong in judgement before. The fact that we only get 4.2 is odd. Not sure the big differences between 4.2 and 4.2.2
I hope it's true. Thx for the info.

no problem
Trusted HTC leaker/developed LlabTooFer said that the Jewel was going to get 4.2.2 and Sense 5 a few months back.
The only phone in the HTC One X generation not getting Sense 5, 4.2.2 was the HTC One S, which was already confirmed by HTC.

I did see that this week somewhere.
If that happens, it would make it sooo much easier to port because I wouldn't need to resize anything...

I was hoping it would make it easier to port 4.2.2 but I thought the kernel would still be some kind of issue.
Hopefully this brings Sense development back to life for the Evo LTE. I'm not impressed with the One tbh, and never liked Touchwiz. Sprint also still doesn't have 4G of any kind in my area. Verizon might be my next jump.
I guess the more we are hearing about it, the closer we are ! *crosses fingers

To port AOSP? The only thing that would change is that they would update the blobs. And that's about it.

No I meant sense 5 4.2.2. Not sure why they are keeping us at 4.2. Aosp is great, but it lacks a few simple features I use often. Plus the sense keyboard is so much better than Google's

The promises flow, yet the actions are not fulfilled....
Well, that's encouraging, at least. I'm on the Sense 5 port right now and absolutely love it. I don't use BT so really the only thing that would be handy if it was fixed would be issue with the Instagram accessing my camera.

Basically all third party apps can't access the camera for some reason on this ROM.... (Vine, Snapchat, Instagram)
I forced myself to go back to MeanBean just for Fouth of July so I can video the fireworks. After I was done, I flashed Sense 5 right away lol.
The last time I tried the Sense 5 port, it was fun. But as you all are saying, I use my social media apps a lot, especially Instagram as I am a photographer. So I had to go back to Viper.
I played with AOSP and loved the multiple users feature. I could manage all of my social media accounts from my phone, but the fact that there's no animated .gif support in stock android killed me, as I use those a lot also. Hoping that this update answers both of my problems.

I posted a fix. Search my recent post history. If you try to use the Instagram video your camera will crash however the camera for pictures still works.
