One of the most fantastic things about Android is its extensive
developer support. While iOS may have the edge when it comes to game
development, Android by far wins when it comes to custom firmware, also
known as custom ROMs. A popular occurrence when a new device arrives on
the market is having the new phone’s firmware ported to other similar
phones. This is what is currently happening to the cheapest HTC One
series smartphone, the One V.
The HTC One V (pictured) has had its firmware ported back to three last generation HTC Android smartphones
Because the HTC One V is so similar in specifications to the slightly
older HTC Desire HD, Desire S and Incredible S, porting firmware to
these devices is rather simple. The same display resolutions and same
generation Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets being key factors here. This
ported firmware gives owners of the three devices a near perfect Android
4.0 and Sense 4.0 software experience.
All three devices currently lack camera support under the ported
firmware, while Wi-Fi hotspot support is lacking on the Desire S and
Incredible S. The current Desire S build also does not support USB
tethering just yet, other than these few drawbacks it’s a fully featured
Android 4.0 ROM. Plus, you even get the free 25 GB of Dropbox storage
and all the other applications updated for Android 4.0.
If you know to flash ROMs then head straight to the Desire HD, Desire S or Incredible S
threads to grab the necessary files, if not it is probably best you
wait for the official Android 4.0 update that is said to be coming to
these three HTC Android smartphones.
