Gingerbread(2.3) for DINC

[RazorDroid]

So I got bored at work yesterday, and randomly decided to email HTC about Gingerbread for our awesome DINC. This is their response, 4 hours later even.

"I understand you would like to know the ETA of Gingerbread for the Incredible and would like to know if Sense 3.0 will be included. I do not have a specific date I can advise for the Incredible however we do expect 2.3 to be released during the Summer. I do not yet know if elements of Sense 3.0 will be included with the update.

I am glad you are enjoying your device!"

Discus.........

Thank god, I knew it was coming.

Lets just hope it's not like HPalm and they screw us over royally.

Sense 3.0? Highly doubt it. MAYBE version 2.0.....MAYBE....

I honestly just expect gingerbread when it's released and any thing is just extra frosting on the cake.

I imagine receiving a new version of Sense will be a long shot, seeing as how one was not included in the Gingerbread build that leaked a few weeks ago... but you never know, I guess!

This. The Gingersense leak came with Sense version 1. HTC/Verizon might decide to give us Sense 2, but I really doubt it. If you want gingerbread with Sense 2 there are ROM chefs who have made it so. As for Sense 3, you can forget about it. Sense 3 is simply too big to fin into the Dinc's memory, and I think the ROM chefs who have cooked up Sense 3 ROM's have had to pull off some major tricks to make it work.

Bob Hope------------------------------------------------- Chance of Sense Upgrade---------------------------------------------No Hope

I took the time to painstakingly plot on a graph the odds of getting an upgrade to Sense as a part of Gingerbread and concluded it's dead center between Bob and No Hope!

I just hope that when we do get it that it runs as smooth as Froyo. My phone has no issues and is super fast. I have friends who got it for their X that it did a factory reset and one where he had to do a reset to get it to install. None are rooted.

I could be wrong, but I don't think HTC has ever upgraded an existing device to a newer version of Sense. The Evo just got an official gingerbread update and it did not include a Sense upgrade.

 

[arran1]

We will probably just get the same update as the EVO did....

 

[Valenthalas]

By the time we get the update to gingerbread I'll probably have switched to a new phone anyway.. bleh.

Rumor mill has it that it should be out this month.

So, how long until Skyraider is updated to 2.3 after the official release?

I don't think we'll be seeing a GB Skyraider, at least not from the original dev. He's moving on to work with the Thunderbolt, and it sounds like he won't be revisiting the Inc. :'(

That sucks Hmmmm, what Roms do you think will be available built from the official release? I'm certainly not going with stock

There are already custom ROMs built from the gingersense leak available, most of them with newer versions of Sense (which the official OTA likely won't have). You can find links to them in the ROMs and mods HQ2 thread.

Since its been reported that the Dinc2 will be getting GB from vzw website ,and nothing about an official GB for the Dinc.
I'm starting to think there might not be one,coming out officially anyway hopefully I'm wrong but just doesn't sound as promising to me finding that out.

The rumor for the DInc was 2nd week of July, but since the announcement of "The Ocho" getting theirs soon... I'm disappoint.

I just got myself a DInc through Craigslist. The GB update for my X came with excessive random reboots. I think, if possible, I'll pass on a GB update to this DInc. I'm not rooted by the way. I'm glad to now be a part of the Incredible family. It's actually the device I wanted when I upgraded to the X back in December. I let a VZW rep fast talk me into the X since I'm a guy and I should have the larger device! #fail

Welcome to the Incredible Club, it really is a great device. Sorry you had so many random reboots with your X, I actually had random reboots with the stock Froyo ROM on my Dinc, rooting and installing CM7 solved that problem. If you are open to rooting there are plenty of great Gingerbread ROM's, with and without sense, that you can run instead of the official OTA update.

Sometimes a reset after an OTA is unavoiadable. I would not let that deter you from taking the OTA.
