How about for the non Verizon variants of the dinc2 that have had official ics for quite some time? I imagine our devs would rather get kernel source specifically for our variant but surely even another carrier's version would help at least improve the hacked together kernels we have now.

Sent from my JB Dinc2

This has been discussed in depth esp. after the S got its update. Apparently the phones are actually different enough to make it not a worthwhile attempt. We've had the Chinese ics for a while, but we still need source.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] alochmst98:
I'm looking at www.htcdev.com right now, and I see two ICS kernel source downloads (Linux 3.0.16) for HTC China. They are 4.08.1400.5 and 4.0.8.1401.7.

All together, HTCdev.com lists 13 available source code downloads for the ICS kernel on the Incredible S.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rushead:
The S is mostly irrelevant to us (from what I've read), but I didn't know the Chinese source had dropped. I believe that's good news...but I'm no dev.

Jumped to a bigger bootloader unlockable ship today and got an s3. Amazon had the upgrade for 125 and best buy was nice enough to price match it. Woo no wait!

Had to get it in-store somewhere since they're the only way you can use an upgrade from another line.

This thing is impressively fast! Ill keep flashing new builds though on both, it's too much fun.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
I was referring to kernel source I know that the devs have already done close to as much as they can from the otas.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] eriknors:
So the DNA already has source. The Chinese dinc2 has source. And the incredible S has source. What's really going on?? Y choose to skip our phone and then pretend it doesn't exist? Is it because no matter what if its available on an htc device we always find a way to make it work on our phones. (eg: sense 3.0, 3.5,and 4.x). I think they know they f***ed up when they made our phone. Even though we lack the new processors, faster ram, and 4g, we have (or should I say our team of awesome devs have) always found a way to "make it work".

I think htc is simply scared of what our guys could do with these perks they are so closely keeping hidden from us. I know that they know about our community and the work that has gone on here and the head honchos are probably pissed cause they pay their devs for the crap that they put out and yet here's some guy in Dayton Ohio whose like 15 years old making better, faster, and simpler ROMs than they came up with.

That's just my 2 cents

I called tonight to figure out when I can drop Verizon and they told me March. When they ask me why I was leaving I said "because the last two Vz phones I've owned have been promised ICS by HTC (TB & now my dinc2) and you've not even updated them but you're selling phones with Jelly Bean." The guy stuttered and stammered the rest of the call. He had no response.

I know I'm just one person, but I'm fed up. I am not giving them any more of my money after March. I don't blame HTC that much. I think the stumbling point is big red.

The only reason I'm sticking with Verizon is because of my contract (ends this January) and unlimited data. If it wasn't for those, then I would've left Verizon a long time ago. Absolutely disgusted with how slow their updates are and how much you have to pay for service.

Truckin is correct:

Citation
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bberryhill0:
"The way it works is that if you use more than 2GB of data per month, Verizon is likely to identify you as being in the top 5 percent of data users. Once you've been identified as a heavy data user, when the cell site you are in gets congested, Verizon will slow down your access until the network is no longer so crowded."

Ok I guess I wasn't clear on what I ment. Yes verizon slows us down but its nothing like all the other cell companies do. Its not like once us 5% hit the 2gb threshold we're subjected to 2g or slower until the beginning of the next month. So I stand by my comment in saying yes verizon is expensive as f@#k and yes they dont give updates to certain phones ie: our phone, but if u are on the "grandfathered" unlimited plan and u are a 5%'er chances are if u venture over to another company you wont be that thrilled when ur new 4g phone gets slowed to 2g for the better portion of a month.

Guys, guys! Some advice needed.. I am on the fence with regards to upgrading to Windows 8. I have a free upgrade available thanks to the university. I am not sure if I should go ahead and install Windows 8... On the one hand, I like the free upgrade and all but then I'll have to live with Metro UI, no start menu etc.. So is Win8 worth it from Win7?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kylesag21:
I personally really enjoy windows 8. The metro system is pretty cool once you get used to it. And it has been extremely responsive and fast for me. I'm not finding myself missing the start button at all. But if you do end up missing it you can add it back in through a couple small tweaks. Plus win 8 is running better on my system then win 7.
