[Leak] HTC Droid Incredible 2 Gets Its Own Ice Cream Sandwich ROM Based On Leaked RUU

Posted by in Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, Incredible 2 (Vivow), Leaks, News

It looks like another one of HTC's handsets (besides the Thunderbolt) has gotten a Sense-ified Ice Cream Sandwich ROM of its own – today, XDA user nitsuj17 posted a ROM for the Droid Incredible 2 (aka vivow) allegedly based on another leaked RUU from HTC. Readers may remember the Incredible 2 as being among devices officially slated by HTC to receive Ice Cream Sandwich "by the end of August," so this leak's timing isn't too hard to figure out.

The ROM, which carries Sense 3.6 over top of Ice Cream Sandwich and software build number 7.01.605.01, is the stock HTC fair you may expect, but with a few tweaks ranging from root to removal of HTC's inconvenient app association settings.

AT&T Says Android 4.0 Isn't Rolling Out To The HTC Vivid, But You Can Have The Official Build Now (No Rooting Or Flashing Required)

Posted by in News, Vivid

Word showed up this morning that the ICS update for the HTC Vivid was beginning to roll out; however, AT&T says that's not the case. But... you want ICS on your Vivid now, right? Seems that one clever chap found a way to manually pull the official update by typing  *#*#682#*#* in the dialer. Seriously, give it a try. I bet you'll have the same results as several users on XDA.

Photographic evidence that we're not making this crap up.

The update will bring the system up to Android 4.0.3 with Sense 3.6, and, as of this moment in time, there is absolutely no reason to think that this is anything other than the official update, which we expect to being rolling out OTA any time now.
