Probably not, from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7 there were fixes that do not apply to our phone. It was for more advanced phones like the Nexus and Galaxy S II.

I am running 2.3.7 on this phone. It only adds Google Wallet which allows you to pay for things with your phone by syncing your credit/debit card to it. Its not a major system upgrade but rumors are that ICS is coming in a few weeks

thxs seen it pop up around and here say... thought I would ask....hope we get something worth updating 2!!! No More Issues....We can Wish at least!!! LOL

Sorry, it adds Google Shopper as well. Supposedly they added another security layer to the 2 apps which is why its tough for devs to get it working on custom ROMs. Kernel.org got hacked and the 2.3.7 source hasn't been released yet. Its really a small incremental update...but ICS is next

ICS for what? Our Epics? I don't believe we'll ever see that (not that I have any way to know this).
If we even got a working GB it might make the newer models just that much less appealing. If we do get anything else, great. But I'm betting that we're dead to samsprint.
I really want Google wallet. how do I get what you got?

most of the cool stuff in ICS is already in some version of sense already. What I'm really interested in is seeing what HTC does with ICS.
I can imagine its gonna look sick. They did a good job putting it on honeycomb. That looked real nice, but on ICS, it could only look amazing. Then again, I LOVE HTC sense. It's gorgeous
Sent from my DINC2HD
This is dumped from the SDK, so don't ever expect anything truly usable to come out of it.
^ I was going to ask how this would be different from the source, but that makes sense if it's from the SDK. That's just used to make apps and such correct?
Well, couldn't you take the code used to write the apps and use that to figure out the code for ICS??
Just curious since I know nothing about this stuff.

ICS is supoose to be a stock android experience. Google has said that ICS is to end fragmentation across the various handsets. Differing UI such as touchwiz, blur and Sense do nothing but slow down updates to people's phones. I'd be shocked if Google allows its partners to slap a new UI on top of ICS.
FWIW, I successfully installed the two VZW apks over mine (I'm on CM7 #105) and have rebooted since. Everything seems to be working fine for me still. My phone network still recognizes my location just fine.

Nexus phones are designed to run stock Android, but I've read nothing specific about ICS itself being mandated to be stock and only stock. The only specifics Google has offered as to the fragmentation issue is an agreement with manufacturers/carriers to support new devices with updates for the first 18 months which, honestly, doesn't accomplish all that much. Given Android's update history, that'll generally only guarantee one OS version upgrade, two at the most if the phone is released at the right time to span two OS releases.
As for disallowing custom UI's, again, I've read nothing suggesting Google plans to restrict this. As it's one of the primary ways each manufacturer differentiates their product, I'd be shocked if Google can, or has any interest in, doing anything about it beside the aforementioned pledge of 18 months of support.

Can I have my jellybeans and eat them too?!

First off, I would just like to thank all the devs who have worked like mad men on giving all us dinc users some delicious Ice Cream Sandwich, for without your amazing work I surely would have thrown my phone in a fit of rage into a wall a loooong time ago. Now, even though there's no official word yet, until later this morning , I think it's safe to assume that Jellybean will end up being named Android OS 4.1 instead of 5.0 (ICS, but with improvements). With all of this in mind, is it possible that we could actually get some JB love? I understand that we'll have to wait until they release the source code to know for sure, but with what we've heard so far it sounds like it actually could be possible. Idk, am I just missing something obvious here?
P.S. I'm asking this mostly because I'm trying to get my posts # up (I'm new here, be nice), although I'd love if we could entertain this thought for a moment. I think I only have like 2 posts so far (cuz I ACTUALLY search for stuff, WOW!!!!) so bear with me, please and thank you!

Because of the determination our lasting devs have. I mean I never thought I'd see sense 4 on the DInc, even ICS.. working completely fine now.
It's amazing and we thank all who do this in the DInc projects.

From what ive seen ics doesn't really push our GPU or CPU that hard. I think our phones should run it great.
Man, this is really awesome! I'd love to get this thing on my Incredible, and would love to help on getting his working! I'm just done my freshman year as a computer science major, and I'm pretty amateur, but maybe I'll dig in wherever I can :-D
Wow. I am so glad I picked the Incredible way back in the day.

Jelly bean

So is anyone excited for this update like i am i know its not a major one but what we do have is great
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT IT
i think jelly bean is exciting, a massive speedup in terms of the UI, new notifications, new stuff in the play store. awesome speech stuff and new google search... and thats just what i can remember
smh. One whiff (a small one at that) and noses go wide open.
Shouldn't we wait for the ics update first?

That will never happen. The only way JB is hitting our phone is if we do it.
I'm really thinking of going back to a Google phone. Less of the features I really want, but at least the new toys hit it first and fast.
Oh and yea Galaxy S is getting it!! But Sammy will never push it to our phones, and you all know I'm right.
i think for the most part the new notification is by far what im after camera upgrade to
Offline voice actions will be a huge help to the utility and speed of voice commands. Other than that, meh. Of course I'm excited though, and will flash anything
I'm definitely waiting for the next Nexus for my next phone purchase. It's hard to not get caught up in the GS3 hype, but its such a minor upgrade to our phones' specs......the GS3 will be many, many months before it sees 4.1.
Hope Samsung port it to the S3 fast. So we can use it. I like it really much!
So guys ... keep it rockin' ;-)

I'm guessing because most people wouldn't be toting a tablet around to take pictures of other things besides themselves. With my original galaxy tab, I was surprised how well the back camera did for video but it was too easy to cover the mic with your hand when in landscape mode. Also, the official portfolio case for it covered the rear camera and led.

A little OT but all the laptops that google is using during the google IO are Macs.... LOL
So I didn't have an android phone during the froyo to gingerbread update, which from my understanding is more like this than 2.3 to 4.0. I know we have had lots of trouble with kernel source and all sorts of other issues. Was this due to the fact that it was such a big difference, and so maybe this time it would be easier for our great devs to get this going for us once code drops? Obviously we can't know for sure until then and I'm not trying to offend anyone or seem greedy, I am just curious if this is how android works, or if not.
Thanks.
That is because google banned windows a long time ago from their offices.
So, can anybody think of any good reasons why we couldn't get the new voice search and Google Now on our phones now? I personally don't understand why we would need a new operating system for that. But, I really know nothing about what goes on behind the scenes with programming and development, so I could be totally wrong. What are your thoughts?

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Announced

My guess is we won't get it until spring of 2013. If ever. I hate how long it takes VZW and HTC to release source. Its just ridiculous.
I think we are blind to think VZW doesn't have an impact on when HTC release source for the latest google OS's.

You guys will like Jelly Bean. Ive been using it for the past 24 hours now. It's really smooth. Some of the new stuff is really cool. Google Now will make Siri look old hat
I don't think it will be to unreasonable to see JB make it to the Inc2. I did a few edits today, and used the same apktools that I use to decompile and recompile Ics with, and most of the edits that I made are in the same spot as they are in Ics.

You would have to port a rom from another device and have to work out all the bugs that come with such an undertaking like getting cell radio to work, wifi, camera and many others. It's just simply not worth the time it would take. For an example take a look at the thread porting sense and touchwiz.

If I'm thinking about this correctly, the biggest challenge would be trying to emulate the buttons (home, back, menu, search) that GB requires to operate. They are not needed in ICS, but you can't run GB on a device without them.
