oh well vpa's are the HTC phones that used by Vodafone in germany, whereas xda's are the HTC phones sold by O2 Germany!!!
no clue what kgb is?

It really stems from the very early days when the only PDAs with phones built in were the O2 XDA devices (made by HTC) and that's when the XDA site started. XDA was O2s way of describing a PDA with an Xtra part i.e. the phone hence XDA.
You are correct that now it would perhaps be more accurate to say HTC developers but actually XDA as a term to describe a PDA with phone built in is quite nice and changing the name now would be very confusing. It does mean though, that we have to remind folk we are exclusively for HTC devices (or 95% at least).

Yes, XDA fits very nicley... plus the website is past the point of no return IMO to make such a change.

LMAO!!! very true...
i always wondered why...but came to the same, and seemingly correct conclusion myself
this name is going to keep alive the "xda" brand long after they'll not even be available.

It does make you wonder who exactly IS behind the stage sometimes when you read some of the direct one on one replies to constantly asked repeat questions.
I dunno I just got curious out of nowhere, so who created XDA-DEVELOPERS!?
I believe it was started by some thoughtful geeks in the UK where the the first HTC device came out and was called the XDA or XDA Exec or something like that. I'm most certainly glad that they did so.

IIRC, Flar is the head honcho 'round these here parts.
EDIT:spelling.
Well my guess is that the owners are a mix of the most powerful world agencies like NSA & Co ...
Why you'll ask ??
Because everybody knows that XDA Rulez the World

Sweet read.. thank you!
god you all are making me feel ancient OCT. 2005.
you know back then all we had to work with was Windows Mobile *shudder*
yah we didn't even cook roms for symbian.. just windows mobile. it was the clunky way of the future!
back before the "thanks" button and mayspace and youtube... yah we had mobile office. and .5 megapixel camera's
seriously though thing were alot different the devs were less helpful, more self gratification back then. We actually competed since there wasn't really a whole hell of a lot we could do with windows Mobile 3-6

first "xda" device i owned ironically it's how i came to this site and i began cooking custom roms for it and the moto mpx series those were good times

Hi all,
My first post to XDA ! I really enjoy your forums/community/devs !

Orange you glad I didn't say banana? BadumPISH!
Is it possible that ICS will get to the normal HTC Desire AMOLED as a ROM? It would've been nice if it happened! I'd love to if someone made a ROM for the normal desire AMOLED with stock HBOOT and no bugs plus an OTA update URL! . It would've made my year and christmas! So what do you think? Do you think that the big developers will try to do this, or do you think they will just forget the desire and be lazy and mean and only support new phones? Please answer!
I guess only time will tell.
Hi,
I see you posted two threads one barely less senseless than the other. I was wondering what have you been smoking lately coz I want some of that too?

Yay. I want the ice cream and all de other puddings on ma fone. HTC will be do that soon me think. Manager of HTC shop and head of HTC fan boy club say its possible if dev manage to fix issues with loose buttons the screen can take the measure but backwards engineering will be possible to make it happen. 3 cheers for devs and xda and happy fun for everyone who likes chocolate cake in their fones

In all due respect. After reviewing all your posts, all 6 of them. I feel it necessary to say, stop demanding answers or roms from devs and gain some basic knowledge about android and how big companies such as HTC operate (hint: you bought the phone, it's now obsolete, no they don't care about you.) Be thankful we have such intelligent and generous devs who keep the desire alive. They have no obligation to create any rom or answer any question even if their rom broke your phone. I'm not saying you are stupid or disrespectful simply you should think before posting.
I have to say I never thought there'd be an industry in which Apple was the flag-holder for long-term device support. All the Android device manufacturers suck, really... I'd be quite surprised to get ICS on my Atrix, let alone my Desire

There was already a ICS 003a Rom in desire development thread, you can try it .But it's not daily use, just nightly.

The question is not when but if Desire can handle ICS without problems.
On the other hand I wonder if HTC will make Sense for ICS. Time will tell.

Ahh bugger, just seen hamdir reported first lol, never mind. Double reported ha ha!
Threads are for discussion, if its a 'goodbye' thread then that kind of defeats the object as there is nothing to discuss.
Other than what a pointless thread this is. And yes we have free speech in the uk, (though thats debatable). But that doesn't mean I walk down the streets shouting lalalalalalala with my fingers in my ears just because I can.
Good bye ,don't mind HTC elevate poeple,they are like hound dogs when it comes to HTC ,free phones anyone?....
