Who's staying stock till official Ice Cream Sandwich OTA?

[tiberius72]

I am staying stock until ICS or a very good ICS rom with no major issues comes out....

 

[jimbl]

Probably stay stock. Real happy with the phone as is so far. Although if the past is any indication, HTC and Verizon won't have ICS to us in the first half of the year.

 

[Egnix]

I'd like to switch to a different ROM, but I'm going to stay stock for the time being. There are some things I don't like about the stock setup, but there isn't enough at the moment to put me over the edge.

As I bricked one phone already trying to re bloat it (to get the new update) I think i'll be extremly careful on what i do.

 

[VidJunky]

Well, I'm not a rooter. Although I did temp root to debloat, and probably would again if it still worked. I'm not adventurous enough to do a full root if the opportunity arises again to temp root I will.

If your a temp rooter, your just a closet full rooter waiting to come out!

Senseless ICS is fantastic for anyone curious. CleanROM ICS is to much like Gingerbread Sense 3.5, you really don't get the ICS feel as much as you do with Senseless.

Staying Stock for the time being. The Rezound has enough horses to run Sense 3.5 and handle VZW's bloat so I can wait until HTC releases an official ICS OS.

 

[ScottAA]

Staying stock until ICS, or until an official Cyanogenmod release comes to Rezound.

 

[eklisiewicz]

Planning to stay stock until ICS comes out, but I do hate the bloatware...

 

[brad419]

Staying stock. I like the RZ just the way it is and probably won't see ICS until 3rd Qtr.

 

[Postoid]

That'll be me. After this OTA, haven't had any issues with the stock phone. Battery is giving me about 1-2 days of light/med use. I could stretch it to 3 but it loads webpages faster than my Verizon pitiful, sporadic, DSL home service so been hopping around the net more on the phone. I'll wait a spell...

Stock all the way. Used to be a rooter and found it not worth the trouble for a phone I depend on dearly. I enjoy stability and so embrace OTA updates only.

Don't think I could never utter a statement like this ^^again, We're 2 trains in opposing directions. That's pretty much, the exact opposite thing I want to do if I want stability, dependability and reliability on my phone. There's a mixed bag of competent devs. out in the wild. Some really know what there doing. I'll stand by those select few to ease my worries. I went elsewhere my current flavor of the month. I haven't flashed his goods yet, but I'll use Scrosler b/c he's an active dev. & member and an ideal example. Check out his various efforts. Do see people complaining about how effed up his mods are. Heck no, why? His stuff functions where others fail it's solid and runs steadier than a vanilla GNex in most respects. Those suits at HTC should put him on the payroll to tidy up their loose ends w/ ICS/ Sense 4.0. They might actually be able to meet their original Q1 timetable for the OTA rollout if they did and more importantly, not botch GB>ICS, like Froyo>GB & ensuing bug fix/ installations (as it often appeared, anyhow) for many android denizens. I wish Verizon embraced AOSP so the fear isn't hanging over users heads when entering the dev. community. To me, guys like him are the only reason I even bother w/ purchasing an oem smartphone on Verizon these days.

2012 or 2013?

 

[Simon_y7]

Staying stock, at least until ICS, out of fear to mess something up.

You don't seem to have an understanding on how software development works. Just because no one mentions something about a problem on a forum doesn't mean it doesn't exist, especially when it becomes statistically insignificant with a sample pool too small for using a given product to begin with. Also, developing software where it goes beyond a hobby is far, far, different when you have angry users demanding answers to a problem versus other hobbyists just making kind suggestions for improvement.

Care to point out where I said problems don't exist or are you just being an assumer. Reason Scrosler, jumped in my mind, is b/c several devs took the early ICS leak and tried to do something w/ it (i.e. Sensation ICS ROM) and ditched their effort cuz they couldn't bring user functionality to it above 60%. He took it and had it 90% functional, lickety split. There are less complaints and issues in the small pond b/c they aren't dealing with making bloatware and a heavily skinned UI that have to work w/ the OS that often clashes against it. Like I said, we're two trains w/ opposing destinations. To each, there own, I guess. As long as your happy w/ wherever that train takes you, it's all good to me.

I agree, I'm using one of Scott's ROMS. Immediately after unlock and root I flashed CleanROM 1.5.5 and not likely to change until there's a stable ICS from Scott which should be pretty soon. His current efforts are pretty close (or maybe Cyangenmod if they come on board).

What I have now is far better than stock with few problems except those I create due to lack of understanding of Android (pretty new to it, this is my 1st Android).
