HTC Thunderbolt, Droid Incredible 2 go back to the future with leaked Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs

[![HTC Thunderbolt, Incredible 2 go back to the future with leaked Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs ][1] ][2]

Looks like some HTC oldies are in store for Android OS goodies -- unofficially. Though Verizon's yet to publicly confirm availability, it does appear [Droid Incredible 2][3] and [Thunderbolt][4] owners ([like this sorry bastard][5]) are in store for a very real [Ice Cream Sandwich][6] upgrade. Two deodexed ROMs based on purported stock 4.0.4 builds have recently hit the forums treating eager and, in the case of that latter LTE handset, [beleaguered][7] users to a host of performance tweaks, as well as that Sense 3.6 skin. It should go without saying that you'll need to be rooted to flash either leak and, as always, the usual warnings apply: backup first and proceed at your own risk. That said, consider this your ticket past the Big Red tape.
