Thank you!

You can find out everything from here

I read somewhere it has a built-in espressomachine and the rumor is that it can turn iron into gold.....but you didn't hear that from me!

There was a rumour that it was due out next month, but the dev's got sidetracked when they inadvertently found an entrance to Narnia

I've heard Google are incorporating a Mind Search for our gingerbreadz, along with a ray gun and a Wally finder.

It has an app that lets you create world peace. There's also another that brings back orphans' parents.

I heard it has an instant lolcat app!

Trying the serious take:
It is said [read: rumoured], that Android 3.0 will mostly be about the interface. But one problem is that if you have HTC Sense, it'll be unlikely you will see this native 3.0 interface on your phone. But it should at least bring a lot of new stuff to your Desire. - Of course, it's possible to stop Sense from running, but you won't get exactly what I'm talking about this way.
The jump from a number like 2.1 or 2.2 to 3.0 is a rather big one, so I'm expecting a lot from it.
Also, anyone know of an official confirmation that 'gingerbread' is actually 3.0? Since there are rumours going about saying the next update would be called 'honeycomb'. It'd be too early to know anything about another version of Android if you ask me.
My biggest wish is just that this new interface thing they're working on will add the right amount of polish. That's one little thing I miss of Android, the consistency of applications and stuff - everything is different and there are no apps which share the same smoothness between eachother, but that's also due to how easily people can put something in the Android Market.
I know, if I want consistency and smoothness and the best looking interfaces, I should go for an iPhone. That's my own opinion by the way. It's just that I really like Android phones and the operating system, but dislike how everything looks so different from eachother. (unlike on the iPhone)
Please, Android 3.0, make the wait worthwhile..

Turns out 'Jaffacake' has been leaked and will be in a CM6 nightly soon ;D

Yep, as we've seen from the Froyo roms, as soon as Android 3.0 hits the Nexus there will be ports and when it hits the AOSP it'll be compiled for the Desire. It may not ever be officially released for the Desire by HTC, but we'll get it somehow.

From what I read at Phandroid, Android 3.0 (honeycomb or gingerbread or gingercomb or honeybread etc.) might never make it to the Nexus One or the Desire. Reason being it shall be catered to high end smart phones like the Evo and Droid X.
Plus the revamp of the UI and the need for a bigger display, most likely it won't make it to the Desire. There's also a rumor going around that the Android 3.0 shall have no other UI layered on top so no HTC Sense or Motoblur.
Well it's all still rumors. Let's just wait for Christmas okay?
P.S: I think Winnie the Pooh might love Android 3.0.

And you don't consider a Desire "high end"? Droid X and Evo might have a bigger screen but the resolution is the same as the Desire. The Evo, besides the bigger screen and 4G, isn't more powerful or "high end"-er than the Desire...

The Desire fits nicely above the required hardware specifications
Well who knows if they're 100% accurate... Still the Desires probably one of the best Android phones out there so it'll be possible they wouldn't make it so much more needed than what exists now.

[Q] last official android version by htc

Hi! I'd like to know which is the last version of android OFFICIALLY published by htc for the desire (not an unofficial rom by xda). Is the 2.2 or still 2.1? There will be a future upgrade to 2.3? Thank you very much!

Are you serious?? I don't mean to sound rude but seriousely have you read anything at all on the desire forums ??
The latest official version of android is 2.2 aka Froyo It is possible that 2.3 will come to the desire and although there are certainly a lot of rumors that it's going to happen honestly until it's announced or out then i reserve judgement!

when you use Gingerbread there will be 2.3.3 but its is a kind of fake the lastest version is 2.2 how the guy over me said
but i heard that HTC will realease the official GB Rom and then the lastest version will be 2.3

My thoughts exactly.

Sorry, i've read some threads, but i'm really a noob in these things, and i didn't understand if 2.2 was official or not (also because in htc's site there aren't updates in download section, then where can i find official one?). Sorry also for this other question...but the fact that in some threads you speak about recording at 720p with froyo 2.2, this is only for custom xda rom or it's an official improvement even in htc official 2.2 rom? Thank you very much

It's better to ask someone in this community than live in the dark. To answer your question, yes the latest official version for the desire is 2.2. It has been confirmed by HTC that the desire is going to get 2.3 & yes 720p recording is a standard feature in android 2. 2 for the desire. If your looking for and official Rom to download, check the development subsection in the desire forum. If you don't have any experience at installing updates or roms I suggest you read about the pros and cons before you attempt anything as you will find all the needed info on this site.

Thank you for your replies! But however i don't understand why htc didn't updated the tech specs of desire in their site with the recording at 720p. Would it be possible to change the video recording format from 3gp to mp4/h264 (or other)? (Also with unofficial xda roms). Again Thank you!

Official Android 2.2 version for Desire has MPEG4 and H.264 recording.

Last unbranded HTC rom is 2.29.405.5

probably.. anyway it's also confirmed that desire will get Gingerbread (maybe GB 2.4 ) in Q2 2011

I think it's just 2.3 in Q2 and then maybe, just maybe 2.4 later one. It's taking bloody ages to have an official release of 2.3 so 2.4 will prob take.... about 10 years. I wish manufacturers looked after current customers rather than forgetting about them more or less.

from what I understand most manufacturers will 'skip' 2.3, as 2.4 is gingerbread with fixes and there's not much difference.
however if rumors aren't true, and 2.4 will be ice cream sandwich, then I doubt our beloved desire will even get it :| (though I'm sure devs will manage to get a port working ;D)

It's behavior like that from manufactures that forces us to root so that we won't be left in the dark. Props to the all the devs for all their work.

Desire 2.4 and 3.0

Hi there. I have been thinking, if there is android 2.4 rom for HTC Desire. I am using cyanogen mod 7 (2.3.3) and I am satisfied with it, but I want the latest one. And also is there any stable release of honeycomb around there?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

The simple answer for both questions is "No".
2.3 is the latest, 2.4 probably won't be out sometime. If it were you'd see it in the dev section.
Honeycomb is for tablets. If you want it, buy a tablet. There are devs working on porting it to the Desire, but to be honest, I don't see the point.

2.4 is 2.3 for dual core phones (not desire) 3.0 is 2.3 for tablet both are pointless on desire you would notice no difference to 2.3

Thank you very much. I will buy tablet with honeycomb, but I just wanted to try it out on my Desire. And I thought 2.4 was for every phone, but thanks for correcting me.

Sorry, but no
Probable, 2.4 will be a first implementation of some of the 3.0 features to phones, not only for dual core phones!! Im pretty sure that HTC will release a 2.4 for Desire.

Looks to me like thats pure assumption. 2.3 is not 3.0.
Neither is 2.4 2.3 for dual cores.
It is speculated that 2.4 will support dual core phones.
However there is nothing officially stating any of the above, so I'm not sure where this info of yours comes from.

3.0 was built from scratch purely for tablets, it has absolutely nothing to do with any previous version.

Where do you get this from? It's certainly not built from scratch. A couple of devs even think that the reason Google is not releasing the source code of 3.0 is because it's just a bunch of hacks.

2.3 and 2.4 are so similar that some manufacturers don't bother differentiating between them it's mainly sn update for developers and compatibility with 3.0 which is simply for larger screens e.g. ui changes and modified api's

Afaik Google renamed version 2.4 you saw on a device on mwc in Barcelona to 2.3.3 because there were too little changes from the first release of gingerbread on the nexus s to "2.4"

Engadget claimed HTC were describing ll their phones as 2.3 when some actually run a version normally referred to as 2.4 they said this was to avoid confusion, personally i would have called them all 2.4

2.4 is nothing more than 2.3 with dual-core support. And it isn't out yet.

Im sure we will get an icecream port which is just like honeycomb for phones.
this is a quote out of some news i read. some of you probably already know this
but for those that dont this could be usefull :
Details on Ice Cream
According to an interview between PhoneScoop and Google Android Engineering Director Dave Burke, Ice Cream will bring Honeycomb's "Action Bar" to Gingerbread. This is the bar that brings the contextual, app-specific buttons to the top of the screen.
Burke also said that Honeycomb's "System Bar" (the bar at the bottom) may not come to phones, but would remain a tablet-only feature. The hologram-esque visual styling found in Honeycomb will arrive in Ice Cream, though, as will Honeycomb's multi-tasking app switcher functionality.

It will come with Sense 2.1
HTC said earlier that only newer, high-end devices will have Sense 3.0 because of hardware requirements so I'm guessing this does not include the Wildfire S because it's not really an upper range device. HTC said, "due to Sense's hardware requirements, only our newest devices (Flyer, EVO 3D, Sensation) will be able to support it."
http://www.androidcentral.com/sense...ces-says-htc?utm_source=ac&utm_medium=twitter

This rom is better than 1.33.401.2 because that rom has a bug which redownloads the last thing you downloaded everytime you reboot, So this rom is the best atm.

[Q] Android "L" - How it will works on HTCD

Hello Guys.
I'm from Brazil.. so, sorry for my english.
So, i have many doughts about the "Android L".
It's possible the new android works on my HTC Desire better than the KitKat 4.4.4 ?
All works well, like Camera, Video and fast rom ? Because the new android is very very "Slim"
I open the discussion.
Let's go!

If somebody tried to port L to Desire and was determined enough, it would work better. Many things depend on drivers, and they aren't updated for our Desire.

Agree, HTC Desire is not some new High End phone and only few devs are using it. Driver port is not something easy to do so Desire with pretty much everything newer than Gingerbread sucks. And Android is now much much heavier these days(we can even say that Android 4 is 3 times heavier than GB).
