Hello I was wondering is the evo 4g going to get CM9 and if so what is the progress?

[Neff]

Please do a little searching, this has been asked and answered many times.

Read the most recent blog post for information on the status. It states:

Our goal is to provide continued support to all CM7 devices back to the QSD8250 series of devices such as the Nexus One. I don’t want to make any promises at this time, but that is the plan.

There has not been (nor will there ever be) a list of devices being worked on. Once a release is ready it will be put out.
There are no ETAs.

thanks Neff

I hope when CM9 does come out, Cyanogen doesn't promplty give up on CM7. I'd hate buying a new phone!

Why would you need to buy a new phone? CM9 should work just fine on the Evo you have now.

Just afraid of hearing it being outdated or something. I really love my Evo!

Google said "theoretically",any android device capable of running 2.3.7,should have no problem with ICS.

True... I don't want to give up my kickstand! I'm not even super happy with the other features that are given with the 3D... if only we could seal processors and RAM like on a computer!

On another note... a lot of the ICS ports are looking promising. I still keep jumping over and messing with preludedrew 's version. Check him out on Twitter, he's coming out with an update usually at least once a week. I just hope it is true that ICS will be fully functional on the Evo4G sometime. With hardware acceleration not fully functional yet (that I am aware of), ICS still seems very quick!

You should check out Deck ICS for the Evo over on XDA I have been running it since Alpha 5 and it is almost daily driver acceptable and I believe it does have HW acceleration, it sure seems like it does. Only thing thats not working is 4G and Video recording but the camera works, oh and no front camera as of yet I don't think.

Alpha 5 is the latest. on Deck ICS.  I've been running it as my daily rom on my EVO 4G.  It is as smooth running as Sense. There are some hicups, but I've been dying to get ICS so it is a good stop gap while I wait for CM9. Don't worry, you won't have to go out and buy a new phone just to get CM9.  I totally recommend Deck ICS for sure!

[St Holyshi]

Yeah, yeah... No ETAs...

But now, it's April 5th, 2012, almost five months since the ICS code was released, and this question is still as wide open as it's ever been.

Most every user of CyanogenMod is, like me, extremely grateful to the developers of this work, "Android as it should be" (before the corporate carriers bloated it, and locked it up), and we're not complaining. In fact, many of us are donors.

But anticipation has it's limits. And anticipation left to wither on the vine is quite sour.

As an EVO user, I can attest: in the many months since ICS was released, all we've heard is that EVO 4G has reached it's End of Life, and will no longer be updated by mainstream software producers and carriers, regardless of how much time is left on one's contract until an upgrade.
On the Cyanogen side, we've only heard "EVO 4G: probably not, but we'll see. Maybe."

ANY info beyond a couple of nondescript half-hints, scattered over months; perhaps a definite yes, (or a definite no), either way, would be greatly appreciated.

Can you provide a good link please. I'm not familiar with Deck.

I'm quite sad that EOL is upon us for the HTC Evo4g Supersonic. It was a great device—IS a great device! I hope the likes of CM9 will adorn this aging tech with grace. Looks like AOKP has support for Evo 4g (original, not descendants) so perhaps it's just a matter of CM getting to big? I'm going to try AOKP and see what the hype is about. Until then cm—will miss you!

Because:
A- we're constantly being told not to start up new threads inquiring about CM9 for our good old EOL/SOL Evos, and
B- because it's now May 17th, 2012, about six months since the code was released, and this question has yet to be answered.

I gotcha. Sorry I'm being such a PITA about this. I feel suckered by Sprint, having jumped for their big sale at year's end, touting the EVO loudly, just two months before they declared it EOL. I'm glad to have joined the EVO tribe, but it sucks to be left in the dust by Big Tech. Had we known they were just clearing out inventory for their new toys, many of us may have gone a different way.
I feel like CM9 is the last real chance at relevance for this venerable old phone, and I'm just a bit frustrated.
On the bright side, I'm running the latest CM7 nightly, with no complaints. CyanogenMod simply rocks!
