O.k...so now that we have nand, does that mean we can now get updates from android? before,we couldn't because it would reboot the phone back into windows. but now, the Magldr basically makes our HD2 a 'native' android phone since it boots directly into android. just curious..
I don't think so, since the only phones that will get updates directly from Google are the Nexus one and Nexus S.
While the rest of the Smartphones available on the market such as HTC Evo, Samsung Galaxy S, Motorola Droid, etc... will get their updates from their manufactures which will pass them through carries that subsidize those phones.
Android on HD2 will keep getting it's updates through the working of our awesome Developers , and tbh with you I like it this way since we don't have to keep waiting 6+ months for the official updates from those lazy Manufactures/Carriers.
Besides which, do you really want an Android ROM that has incompatible drivers for most of your phone functions? Its taken a while, and a lot of work on behalf of the chefs, to refine the builds and ROMs to make them compatible with the HD2, camera app on all desire hd builds for example took a long while . And we STILL don't have a fully working build for Gingerbread...
Time will deliver it with the sweat of the chefs...
Hey guys
Google recently released Android 4.0 for a newer phones.
So my questions are:
Is there anyone going to port this OS to an older phones like Desire?
Is it possible at all to do it?
Thanks

Whenever you post something like this, you are supposed to post a link to the information or else it will be considered as not true or some rumor (with no real evidence).

Tried contacting both HTC and ATT for this detail.
HTC no comment. ATT no idea.
I guess HTC is concentrating on getting ICS to its phones 1st. Their support system is as usual quite slow-e.g. the Flyer got Honeycomb very recently when ICS has already been released.
So I guess it will be just a wait for us to know or listen for the good news about our jetstream getting ICS.
From what I've read, HTC is just starting to make statements on what devices will get ICS update and when. Only seen announcements about smartphones.
"HTC wrote a note on its official Facebook page to announce that Ice Cream Sandwich would be available for the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XE in March 2012, with the Sensation XL getting its ICS "soon there after."
A gaggle of other HTC smartphones were name-checked by HTC in the post as well: Android 4.0 for [Deep breath] the HTC Rezound, HTC Vivid, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD "will be coming later this year."
HTC had previously said (in November 2011) that the HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G* and HTC Amaze 4G would be available in early 2012. From HTC's updated schedule, it appears the company will miss that deadline."
Taken from article.

So it looks like it might be a while for HTC to even consider Jetstream ICS update. I would be bold to say between end of Q2 and beginning of Q3.
i wouldnt count on HTC with it...
rumor has it that google will anounce android 5.0 around june, by the time HTC will bring us ICS (if at all), it would be considered old.
task650 said he's trying to implement ICS on the jetstream but he's not active on this forum for a while now...
I dissapointed with this. I have europian version of Sensation and an AT&T Jetstream.
Great android devices but I should buy Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and Tab 10.1 LTE to get ICS sooner?? Samsung support is more frequent?
I asked HTC support yesterday about this or even an update to 3.2, support person had no idea.
Dissapointed to hear that. i hope there will be an update.
Saw some posts on the Flyer section about ICS update coming for them in 2 months. Their source seems to be a French version of HTC Hub. It may mean good news for us as well. Here is to hoping that it happens sooner than predicted..

I am no dev, so I do not know, but -say- for windows it is possible to install the same OS on all sorts of systems with different hardware config's. How different is uncustomized Android? I mean if a plain release of ICS for tablets were to find its way to users, would it be possible to flash it to different tablets or would it have to be custom tailoured to each tablet before it can be flashed?
in my opinion, JetStream will have ICS for sure, but I guess It could be Q4 or later
google the info about the update of HTC Flyer, those people waited and waited for more than half year to get their honeycomb update
and I highly doubt CM9 on JetStream since We have not get S-OFF yet, and the Pen wont work on CM9
i think ICS comes with a native pen abilities, so technically if CM9 would find its way to the jetstream it might work.

Having an official ICS or custom-spinoff ROM would be awesome enough to satisfy me at this point for some time. I agree in believing it will eventually come out, even though HTC isn't announcing it with all the other ICS updates. Also, glad there's mention of CM9 here, as I always end up settling on CM once they weed out all the bugs. It's nice not having your Google written OS passed through profit-fueled manufacturer's and carrier's hands only to strip out and tweak lots of it later. It's like every tweak CM does is in the name of being cool, and I love it.
Though, that being said, the pen feature is legit. It's a feature to tablets that I see only becoming more relevant in the future. I would not be surprised if pen support came to CM9 or some future CM variant eventually. They brought the status-bar brightness control slider feature to CM7 when I had to go for so long without it on nightlies for my Samsung Captivate. I know the comparison is possibly thin on implementation... but pens for tablets? It's a no-brainer to at least attempt very strongly to get working. I believe someone on their team will attempt it and probably succeed.
Now about a CM9-HTC Jetstream specific variant? That's another story entirely. My guess is yes on that as well, esp once the value plummets and everyone can get them cheap... just will have to be super patient.
i was just checking out CM and AOKP sites..it appears the projects have made it to alot of devices so far..the fact that the system is for both phones and tablets is an advantage.
how can we get them to work on the JS?

As far as my understanding goes: CM has a team dedicated to it's base AOSP build (device unspecific). It's then either some of the same people or (more likely) entirely new people/teams to work on supporting a specific device. For instance, CM7 for SGS-Captivate was developed by entirely different people than CM7 for DroidX.
That said, we'll probably need some dedicated dev(s) to form a team and start building off the open-source base to get KANG's out to the public. Or the more official route: communicate with CM and set up a repository "Jetstream" branch on their system to commit-to and automatically build nightlies off of for the public. I've seen the process twice now start out as very unstable KANG's, turn to official nightlies, then RC's and Stable builds, then roll-off back into KANG's as people continue to tweak, mod, and merge with the AOSP base as it's updated.
I got an email reply from HTC and they said the last update was released 02/29/2012. They claim that they work hard to get their updates ready and offer them to AT&T and it OS AT&T that decides if or not to accept them. AT&T would obviously not bother replying to me as I am not on their network. Perhaps someone still with AT&T could try.

I hope AT&T or HTC roll out a new update for this tablet cous 3.1 not support natively Qualcomm dual core processors and chipset. I got recently the new Vodafone Smart Tab 7 (ZTE) with honeycomb 3.2 and this tablet is the same hardware like HTC sensation. 1.2ghz dualcore, 1GB ram, 16 or 32GB storage. Work perfectly and run extremely fast with 3.2
I hope in the near future, there will be 3.2 or 4.0 ICS update will available for the Jetstream as well for my ZTE tablet. I love my Jetstream but my ZTE runs perfectly too.
I'm waiting for Jetstream OS update and S-OFF. With this two option, this HTC tablet will be an awesome device with powerhouse hardware.

I guess we all are.
Globatron asked for some screenshots of the back of the Jetstream in the sim card and micro SD card area in the thread of S-OFF asked by me. I have provided the same but have not heard any update or anything. He has been bringing s-off to some htc phones like sensation including xe and others.
Sent from my HTC PG09410 using XDA
So nothing will happen about s-off or os system update??
Jeatstream dead??
What about users whos bought this tablet?
For the moment it looks like it. I log in everyday to see if anything is happening but in vain. Neither a developer nor got any basic knowledge bout developing so can't really do much myself either. I guess we will just have to wait and watch where we land up.

Anyone know if there is Android out for the HTC Radar and if so are there any tutorials I could follow to put it onto my phone? I didn't see an android development in these forums which is why I was asking.
Thanks,
Indian
Android on WP hardware is an abomination. I hope you never get to experience it.
The hardware on this unit should easily run android. Just look at the number or old htc devices that are doing that now.
Unfortunately, the Radar 4g didn't sell in great numbers, so I doubt any dev would want to spend their time and effort on it.
I would love to try android on my Dutch htc radar.
Sent from my Radar C110e using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
It is impossible.
i think its better for you to buy an android phone for you to have android.
if you want an android softphone, i think you must sell your radar, and buy one. only htc hd2 can install wp and android.
Are there any difference between an AT&T HTC One and an unlocked HTC One (bought directly from the HTC website)? Also the HTC One Google Play edition, what's the differences?
I have never used an android phone before so this will be my first one. If there are differences, which one would be "better" (for a noob like me)?
Thanks

The regular HTC one (in your case AT&T the one from the htc website has a unlocked bootloader to be able to flash custom roms and root easier) Comes with not a normal android ui but HTC's own little thing Called sense. most of htc devices have sense the HTC one has the highest version of sense right now most company's have their own custom android ui. samsungs touchwiz, and motorola motoblur. the HTC one you buy from carrier does not have a unlocked bootloader. the google play editon comes with a unlocked bootloader , but does not come with Sense. it is a pure android jelly bean Stock ui which i prefer most, i would say the google play editions is more for developers or people who want to root it and flash custom roms but the normal everyday person can still use it

It is not pure jelly bean. It still contains HTC frameworks that over write the stock Android ones.

Yup thats how they got the camera to work so well for being a 4mp camera. Without HTC closed drivers and such it would never be more then a 4mp camera. The Samsung has it as well.
