HTC Inspire and Ice Cream Sandwich???

[jerrybaxter]

Wonder how long before ATT lets us have that?
Or maybe it's "root" time

It's actually up to HTC. They're the ones that have to customize it for the Inspire. I'm hoping (dreaming) that we might get it since the Gingerbread update was so screwed up. But then I'd be afraid they would screw that one up, too. The Inspire's birthday is in Febuary, so ICS would be a nice gift

ATT had the final say. HTC just develops it for there phones.

Just root your phone if you want to have ICS asap

 

[Htcinspiration]

Do it! It's always root time. U can't fully enjoy ur android w/o root :')

I don't think ICS will hit the Inspire. Inspire is only a single core processor. Out of everything that I have read, The ICS is designed for dual processor phones... Maybe the Vivid will see this.

CM 9 will hit the inspire in a couple months. That is confirmed. That is probably the only way we are gonna get ICS

Google has said ICS will work on any phone running Gingerbread. HTC may not want to use resources to do that, but ICS will run on it. In fact, a person has already got ICS running on Desire HD (the Euro version of Inspire) but note it doesn't work all that well yet.
HTC may get around to doing it, but it would no sooner than Q2 2012. Therefore, you must root your phone to get ICS anytime soon.

XDA for Desire has some alpha builds out with everything except BT, Camera and Hardware Acceleration working. I might check in January to see how the builds are doing.

The builds on xda are progressing rapidly. From day to day lot of improvements and we should be see a useable rom in no time I am sure.

what is xda? new to this whole thing.

nevermind...searched it..

Here's a link to the ICS rom if you guys want to check it out. No 3d hardware acceleration yet and some other bugs. Its still a beta so I wouldn't advise flashing it unless you know what you're doing.

I have a Nexus S 4g that is a single core phone that has been running ICS since mid December and is flawless. And no it is not rooted; it is my company issued phone.

Your phone is Samsung. At one time HTC publicly stated the they will not have ICS for any single core phones. Idk if they have reversed this, but time will tell.

That's so gay no HTC support for single cores? I'm running the snap dragon scorpoin chip its plenty fast runs cyanogen no lagging its that damn sense build that rapes the resources my battery has never been better blast music 10 hours streight over wifi and still have. 25 percent try that with sense I'm waiting for cm 9 stable build can't wait

 

[BenjaSands]

Since it is apparent we will not get ICS, what are the chances we get Sense 3.5 and that cool lock screen? Since it came out on the Desire HD i dont see why we shouldnt get it any day now

Root and load custom Rom

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

Agree. Root and custom rom. Runs pretty darn good.
