I'm curious as to where the "HTC never updates phones after they release them" mentality comes from? All of my HTC devices have been updated multiple times, each with at least one major Android version update. But apparently they only sent updates to me. I guess I'm just lucky.

Are there any hard stats on this? This is one area of the Android world that I have a tough time with. Why is it so freaking difficult to get OS updates out? I'm getting my One from HTC in an effort to avoid one layer of OS roadblocks in the carriers.

I also have had mostly HTC phones and always had at least one major software upgrade, I currently own HTC ONE X have had the upgrade to 4.1.1 and been told would get new sense upgrade within the next few months

For the first part, I go off of my own experience, and this site. I've gotten plenty of updates, and I see HTC pushing out updates to other devices quite often. People post about them and they get brought up on the front page of the site, like most updates do.

The second part gets a little complicated. With the exception of Nexus devices, Android has to be tweaked with drivers for different hardware (camera modules, keyboards, varying screens and digitizers, etc.), UI overlays, CDMA networks if applicable, different processors, blah blah blah. As much as a pisser that seems to be it then falls to the network to let it out. That seems to be the biggest hurdle to overcome.

Has anyone said how many colors led can produce and if lightflow can control them? Thanks!

HTC generally seems slower to update but funny thing is that Sammy for the longest time was viewed as a company that never updated anything. I remember someone posting docs from Samsung dev basically saying updating phones loses them money.

HTC one dev unit will be easy for sustained releases since it comes unlocked. In fact, it will likely be more upgradeable directly. A lot of the hassle comes from carriers.

Lightflow requires root, right?

It depends on the phone. No root needed in most brands. Lightflow worked without root in htc tbolt in froyo but not gingerbread.

The bottom line is does the led even produce enough different colors for lightflow to have anything to control?

This is not correct. It sucks in your calendar just fine if you want it to.

Phil,
Is it also a good enough calender feed? Good enough to replace the Calender widget?
If I don't set up any feeds other than my Google Calender can I pass it off as a functional calender widget?
Thanks
