Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

Back to Update, Sprint really doesn't know anything about the update to 4.1.1. You know Sprint, they release updates when they get it unlike Verizon and AT&T cellphones. So stop acting like Sprint is holding back the update.... HTC as we know is taking forever to Update their devices released early-mid 2012 (LTEvo, One X [AT&T and Europe Int'l Version], One V, One S) so I wouldn't be surprised that an OTA hasn't been released yet.

My friend who has an Int'l One X from the Middle East has Jellybean already. Basically, the only difference a user (which is just a regular user) will see is Google Now, and the Sense color being changed from Green to Blue. Sense is sense and nothing has really changed. ICS runs great on the phone, but with comparisons with my LTEvo and his One X, project butter in 4.1.1 really makes a difference.

Like all of us, I am really excited to see Jellybean on my LTEvo. I am just really concerned that might be another EVO 3D mess with the ICS update.

OK has anyone noticed that as of today the evo 4g lte is on the HTC front page??? Is this a precursor to the big jump? We have all noticed how non existent this phone has been since day 1. Why is itthere now?

What if the update only goes to the good people on Santa's forum list. I'm betting at least half of you won't get anything but a lump of coal.

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

I've been checking this thread non-stop since day one when the thread started and can't believe that it's gonna be a month old soon. Then a feeling of de ja vu hit me like I've experienced this all too well before. And then it hit me. The NFL/NBA Lockout.

I'm tempted to root to go to CM10 for a more stock experience but at the same time, in the back of my head, there's something that tells me wait, just because I wanna keep Sense manly for the camera. Anybody that flashed CM10 notices any noticable differences between the Sense Camera and the stock Jelly Bean Camera?

There's definitely a difference in picture quality, and in available features - lack of HDR mode comes to mind. It's perfectly adequate for every-day shots though. A lot of people keep a Sense-based ROM (I suggest MeanROM) backed up for when they know they're going to need a better camera, and run CM10 for everything else.

If you want the best of both worlds, you could run a Sense ROM with a launcher like Nova or Apex to give you more of the stock feel.

I was running cm10 for a few days but I switched back today because I needed the camera. The cm10 camera has a yellow tint to it. I'm not sure if there is a setting I don't have right or what. Other than that it was great I really liked the sms pop up.

sense camera is completely different than AOSP camera and the drivers are different, so AOSP doesn't fully utilize or make proper use of imagesense/Sense camera and its drivers.

It's likely that Sprint is showing you what you want to see based on your previous searches. Much like Banner Ads around the web tend to show things that pertain to you. For instance, if you've recently looked for Steak Restaurants in your city, those tailored ads may show you Morton's or Ruth Chris. It's pretty cool how it works.

I've read that Google Fiber does this, too. Rather than the normal untargeted commercials in between shows, it will actually show you ads that pertain to you or to whomever owns the associated Google account.

Yeah I was thinking if I did flash it would be either MeanROM or Viper Rom but the last time I checked, I wasn't able to find a ROM with Jelly Bean on it, my whole purpose of wanting to flash lol. But I was definitely gonna throw on Nova Launcher for my almost stock experience.

Oh that yellow tint would've drove me insane when takin' pics. I know it might sound stupid, but did you try another 3rd party app to see if the same yellow tint still persists? And that's pretty dope that there's a native SMS Pop Up. I like the little things like that.

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

The GSIII already has Jelly Bean and they are about to get their own Premium Suite Upgrade....I really wanted to give HTC a chance and so I went with the Evo....(Huge Evo Fan) but this is getting ridiculous...I can understand if none of the newer HTC phones had JB but the One X has it.....Had to get off CM10 due to shaky Wifi and horrible 3g/4g signals.....plus there is still somewhat of an issue with the Wifi/3g/4g handoff....Really getting frustrated....should of went with the GSIII....My one and only rant on this situation...

.
CM10 is Jelly Bean based. 4.1.2 specifically. Very soon to be 4.2 based. You won't find any Sense-Based ROMs running Jelly Bean yet, although there is a dev working on a port. IMO, Mean is the one that most closely mimics the smoothness of JB, and it has Google Now baked in.

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

IMO Apple is the only one with perfect plan as far as upgrades....they don't allow carrier crap on their devices, updates are made available directly as announced, and they don't give crap about what carriers has to say...
I think Google is getting their with Nexus devices, but they should control all the manufacturers that use android as OS...

Google needs to look into becoming a carrier, too. They're doing everything else. (Google, Shut Up and Take My Money!)

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

Just saw on sprint forums that a guy just got a System update, he's rooted and doesn't want to hit the button, do rooted phones get system updates for various roms or do we have something here?

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

For anyone looking for something that resembles Google Now I recommend trying AIVC its actually a little closer to siri I would say but it works really well and I haven't had any problems with it accessing anything or not recognizing my voice.

It's probably 171mb. Jeez, this has made me so cynical.
