Ice Cream Sandwich, Anyone?

This is where all the trouble I went through to get s-off on my phone paid off (you may read that tale here. Hmmm, I think it’s been awhile since I posted here…). Anyway, Sprint pulled the HTC EVO 3D from its online line-up a while back. And there’s a reason for that. It’s going to Virgin Mobile (don't believe me? You can pre-order it from Radio Shack here). But on Virgin Mobile, it’s going to have Ice Cream Sandwich. With Sense 3.6. And somebody leaked the ROM update. Which a bunch of idiots when and promptly flashed, and they’re idiots because it included a firmware upgrade specific for Virgin Mobile and it’s network (while it does use essentially the Sprint network, there are enough differences that you can be seriously fückered up and not have a way of getting out). So I waited. And the developers at XDA Developers did their magic, and Sprint specific ICS sandwich ROMs have now appeared. And I’m running one now. Right now, I’m running MikVirgin. And I’m sufficiently impressed with this phone that I’m using it as my daily driver. I’m sure that it’ll only get better when a Sprint specific version is leaked/released. Maybe the Energy treatment could be possible?
