Thunderbolt Will Get Ice Cream Sandwich?

[watson387]

HTC mentioned after the press conference they need to look into ics. I think there could be issues with sense running on ics.

Then get rid of it. Sense blows anyway. Lol

What are the big advantages of ICS?

Did you watch the press conference? If not I would suggest watching it... To many new features to list.

Once there is a stable ics Rom for the tbolt I will.

HTC has dropped hints they've given up on Gingerbread and are "sidegrading" us to an enhanced version of Froyo called "Gelati". It's like Froyo with richer features.

If a stable release of ICS is made available for the TBolt, I will root my phone and install it. ICS looks awesome! I just hope the hardware is capable of running it.

Via leaked RUU and our communities' own developers, yes

RUU would mean that HTC would be working on releasing it and they just haven't done it yet, like GB.

I'm just hoping we get officially supported by cyanogenmod and we can get ICS that way. CM9!

I can't imagine the Thunderbolt will officially get ICS. It's already almost a year-old phone, and it took what has felt like ages for it to get an official Gingerbread release (not to mention, said GB release has been pulled back due to issues). I think they'll probably re-release GB for the Thunderbolt by the end of the year, and maybe one more small upgrade by next spring, and then they'll start shifting their attention to their newer phones.

On the other hand, even if it does get the update, chances are, it'll be heavily skinned with Sense and/ or whatever else they want to do with it. Personally, after seeing "vanilla" ICS on the Nexus, I don't think I could tolerate a manufacturer launcher/ bloatware again.

Man this is how I feel also. Seeing pure ICS I just don't like Sense much anymore. I'm feeling that Roboto font lol.

I would really like the capacitive buttons and an sdcard in any android phone I buy. I'm disappointed they went cheap on nexus hardware.

I heard the next OS is called "Dipping Dots"

Once the source gets released I will look forward to CM9. Not going to worry about what HTC does.
