I have learned my lesson. I will never buy another non-nexus device.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
Just don't buy another Sense device again. Can't say anything about an HTC Nexus, but other than that, don't go for another HTC device again. ;)

At least Samsung is adding more features into Touchwiz that makes the wait worthwhile, but what is HTC doing with Sense?

Every manufacturer is learning except for HTC. What a shame. Used ti remember when HTC was the s***... About 2 years ago. But now? Their hardware can sound good, but without proper support, its just useless. Look what happened to the LG Optimus 2X. It had the best specs during the time of release, but LG sucks at software updates, and it fell into obscurity.

Well, my first smart phone was a Droid 1. I got it two years after launch and was fully spoiled by the huge dev community that centered on it.

I really appreciate all the development efforts on the DInc2, but the upgrade-ability experience just is not as rewarding as the OG.

That is completely the fault of HTC and Verizon.

It just seems best to go for a phone that is meant to run stock Android right out of the box.

I started with Cupcake (Android 1.5) and it was painfully slow after comparing it to Android 2.1 Èclair (my friend's OG Droid) during the time. So painfully limited too. I was so happy after I got rid of that piece of crap that was T-Mobile's network. I'm happy with what I've got right now. :)

I've found a solution:

1) Pay the ETF of $200 to cancel my Verizon contract.

2) Join my father-in-law's family plan.

3) Have him add a new line for $40 per month for me.

4) Get a new phone with new contract pricing.

5) Profit in having saved $45 per month from now until October ($405) less my ETF fee of $200 = screw Verizon out of $205. (I'm not taking into account the cost of the new phone, as I would have to pay it eventually if I stayed on my own contract).

6) Profit each month of $45 as I will only be paying my father-in-law $40 per month for service whereas I was paying $85 on my own. Screw Verizon out of $45/month.

WINNING!

Now, which phone shall I choose? S3? DNA?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Camaro305:
Does one need to be rooted with s-off to apply what you will be releasing?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
it ll be released as an update zip, so you would need at least to be dev unlocked w/ custom recovery (you could pull boot.img and fastboot)

soff is preferable

i have the RUU as well, but i havent heard if thats kosher to release or not
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
alright ill release what i fixed up tomorrow...its virtually stock except the few things i did to it

rooted

busybox

kernel repacked for ext4 vs ext3

kernel repacked to remove new htc /lib partition for use on all hboots

remove htc linkify crap (app associations as a result of apple lawsuit)

removed a lot of the htc log/testing utilities that are present (theyre neat to play with sorta, but the avg user would get annoyed by their notificaitons always being on)

moved some stuff to /data because older hboots dont support /lib and /lib needs to be back in /system/ (which didnt have the room for it all)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] eriknors:
So we have the ics leak but did that come with a new kernel? If so wont the new kernel fix bugs?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Camaro305:
The way I understand it, yes, if you use the stock base. Kernel *source* is what devs look for so they can pull it apart, make a new kernel (overclocking, etc). But I'm no expert. :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
its actually older than the latest chinese ota kernel (well about the same week) so i doubt it fixes anything (sense4 wise) that the other one didnt...but idk for sure yet

there is the global version of the DROID Incredible 2 which did receive an ICS upgrade, while DINC 2 has not. Hope this helps

i copy the above from HTC facebook page what do you understand?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
I'm pretty sure most of the DInc2 owners in this forum know this since the update was out for the Incredible S for months now. Hell, even the S710D (Chinese DInc2) got the update. A lot of the ROMs that are out for the Inc2 are based on the S710D. Both phones even got their source codes released while ours hasn't even been out yet.

However, only the ROM base can be used. We just want the ICS kernel source, which can only be given by Verizon themselves through the source code.

Apparently some users of one of the other phones (Desire HD I think, I'm not sure) had a petition, like us, and they got 1000 sigs and htc still didn't release kernel source, so I'm starting to think you guys might never get kernel source or ota :(

I think my next phone will be of the nexus variety. Something very popular with devs and very capable.

Still happy with the DInc2 performance on CM7, just not getting my fix of flashing updates.

It would be fun to be on jellybean with the front runners, or even ics, but I figure that would be a bonus on this phone instead of an expectation or demand.

The devs that are playing with the DInc2 have done awesome work with limited resources.

Both my parents just bought a galaxy s3 as their first smartphone and they are quite happy with it :D

Once my upgrade arrives in April I will try to buy a new nexus. If there is no nexus available by then then I will buy the next flagship phone by Samsung, hopefully the galaxy s4. Never again will I buy a HTC. They royally suck with updates. Samsung already updated their s3 to jellybean and I noticed they were already promptly updating some older phones to jellybean as well. So at least they are much better with updates. And I feel it is easier to hack and install ROMs on Sammy devices as well. No more HTC for me.
