Newer Sense on Desire? How to get it? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. Is there any way to install the newer Sense, like the one on Desire Z (You know, that with painting palette instead of plus in bottom right corner of the screen)
I'd love to see HTC Hub and some other new stuff on my Desire. Is there any ROM for that? If not, why?

Htc desire will get all tht stuff with next update but donno wen

Thanks for clarifying that. Is there any, You know, less official way to do it right now? Can't believe noone has incorporated it in their Desire ROMs. Compatibility issues? Or HTC's copyright?

look for Sense HD roms

Thanks! Will install one of them as soon as the camera gets supported. Either that or an official update - whatever comes first
PS Why are You sure there's going to be an official update? I haven't seen any HTC statement on that. Rumors, yes, but no 100% info.

Only has options for Desire Z and Desire HD... not Standard Desire
they said that first supported devices would be those, we will have to wait
Well but since i have a desire hd rom in my desire i already tried it. Kinda cool ringing the phone and knowing where it is thru the site... also i can see missed calls and incoming messeges. Htc scores again
"Desire" is what started it all, they should have enabled it for the standard desire first
Needs Sense 2.0 to work, the HD and Z have HTC Hub apps in them which connect to HTCSense.com
Fingers crossed for the next OTA for original Desire to have Email fix for Hotmail EAS and Sense 2.0 then...
has it been said us Desires users will get it?
I've read at several sites that HTC have confirmed that the original Desire will get Sense 2.0 in a OTA update soon... I really hope it's true... But I won't cry if we don't get it because I think Sense already rocks the way it is! and if I ever get sick of it there are always alternatives like launcher pro and etc...

I don't know where you get this from, but in fact some people are already running the desire hd with sense 2.2 on their original desires. Can't see why an official update for the Desire "won't fit"

Probably because they
1. are using the sd card to install the ROM
2. have removed a bunch of useful/needed stuff (like 4 from 5 sense themes) to make it fit in the device itself.
I hope we can get a custom rom that will integrate Sense 2. I don't need the official OTA. Community ROM's are far better. Would like to see a new LeeDroid with Sense 2.
Of course they could get sense 2 to fit on, this is HTC, the company that can pull rabbits from out of their arses. It doesn't have to be the same version as the HD, but supporting htcsense.com would be magic!
i've sense hd......contact,messages and foot print work.....positioning ring and block doesn't work......someone ave this working??
Positioning works fine once you use Google Maps for the first time...

There is about 5 ported Desire Z ROM's in this forum. Pick one you like.
An RUU is the OEM distribution and one from the Desire will not work on the Incredible.

Whats the difference between the two "senses"?

The new one has native themes support (no more flashing themes ) and HTCSense.com access (like Apple's Find my iPhone but HTC). Also, many are very fast. However, 720p video recording doesn't work on our Incredibles, and I believe that touch tones in the dialer are broken unless you set them to long.

Also the home screen rotates on the new Sense.
Edit: Also the new camera app is pretty sweet (except for the lack of 720p of course).

[Q]What Will Gingerbread Bring For Me?[Q]

Hi there XDA,
So here in the UK for Unlocked users like myself our Gingerbread update should be arriving tomorrow, however I have no idea what Gingerbread is supposed to be bringing me at all? I have heard that it features HTC's 'New' redesigned multi-touch IME, however I don't understand what that means?
I was just wondering could somebody tell me what improvements/updates Gingerbread will bring to my device... Thanks!
The update won't bring much, because Gingerbread is more of a design update for Android, but we DHD owners got sense so you it's not that big of a update. The thing you WILL notice of the update are speed/stability of the phone and sense 2.1.
Sense 2.1 brings some new things like a new app viewing/scrolling thing, a quick settings tab in the notifications and some small things like being able to switch places widget/apps on the home screens just by placing them on the same place.
There are unconfirmed reports that the Gingerbread update will bring you
Mo Money, Mo Problems.

You'd need to speak to HTC if you get these.
Thanks for the replies, sounds like a pretty pointless update then, but nevertheless updates are ALWAYS welcome on my device!

HTC Desire Gingerbread UPDATE THIS WEEK

Please note that we are working now to release the 2.3 for HTC Desire.
Unfortunately we don’t have the name of the applications that will be removed from the update however you will be able to install them from Market.
Kindly follow our Facebook page in order to be aware of all the news. 20.05.2011
Yay! another thread on the same thing!! w00t!
Get used to it untill it's over it was the same deal through june, july and august prior to the froyo update last year.
Also great news for everyone on sense roms
this is the last news from htc suport
As long as the apps removed are not part of the sense experience.
Which is exactly the same as they have already stated on facebook, which is exactly the same as already stated in other posts.

I still think they should reconsider and just move stuff from sense into htc hub - save space and make me happier if they shifted STOCKS off my phone!

actually this solution would be there already as from the beginning, or this should not be a special workaround just for Desire from now on. We'll see it.

also can you link us the link from your original source as looking on twitter and FB i couldnt see them reference anything new since last week.
I don't like having to edit custom rom's to remove the stock.apk out just to do something that should be optional anyway...
who uses stocks? no one - that's who.... (or at least I think the majority don't use it!)
im using the stock froyo:X because im waiting the update
Wrong stocks
OFFTOPIC: How many Threads whit same topic now open???
I think u can long wait en_mih - Vodafone need many time i think... :>

edit: or were you referring to the comment about 'using stock froyo'
I'm using stock since yesterday... I've been using oxygen, smooth, very, very fast rom and brilliant battery life but today I discovered that MMS are not working at all on the correct settings. I've been reinstalling oxy etc. but no success.
Now I'm on stock froyo and I think that it's smoothier than some other roms from xda. (Sense 2.1+3.0 mixes)
No examples but like I said, no problematic and smooth rom.
I've been using custom roms for months, always some sh**... random reebots / USB speed problem (kernels and sh***)... Now I can say 'uff' - everything works.
Sry for my eng - polish native
Yes yes, stock rom is very stable and is fast, and waiting for ginger 2.3 stock.

Can anyone share link where can I find stock ROM?
yes - RUU link is in my sig and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869048
hey there one advantage of the Desire limited ROM Space, if HTC have to remove stuff to get 2.3 out.. then surely there no room for the Carriers to put in all there junk... or will they just have a hish fit cause they can't put there junk on and so not roll out there own 2.3
phew glad i am on an unbranded handset

Yeah I was thinking that myself! Actually my Desire was originally Orange (Spain) branded and they had put all this awful bloatware on it so that was my original reason for rooting and good thing too! I think Orange are the worst for it, though I've heard Vodafone are pretty bad too...
I'm on Vodafone but there is no bloatware on my device. Not even a Vodafone logo.

Talked to HTC about downgrading

Hello everyone, I had emailed HTC yesterday about downgrading my Desire back to 2.2. and this is what they said...
I understand you installed the Gingerbread build on our developer portal and would like to flash back to 2.2 Froyo. I understand how important it is for your phone to function properly and I will be happy to assist. The Gingerbread build that was posted was not intended for North American users unless they only needed the device to test applications they were writing. We do not have a method for an end user to flash back to 2.2 at home, however if you can reply with the device serial number located on the back of the phone after you remove the back cover and the battery and the name of your cellular provider I can find out if you are able to send the phone into HTC to be re-flashed.
So in other words unless we find a way to unlock the bootloader we have to send it in to HTC which kinda sucks.
Let me know what you think!
There are people in other threads that have been given the answer fron htc support that the upcoming boot loader unlocker will unlock ALL htc phones.

If you use their online unlocking tool when it comes into use, then you fail.

ok, sure we agree that htc relesed gb as dev, and sure a lot of us thougt someone will crack the hboot soon. But crap this is a bad build...
The call function is often "hanging" a while after finising a call, after installing some of my regular apps, gb is terrible slow, the sence clock sometimes stops in time, and i could go on...
I have not read all of the posts here since the dev release of gb, but i for one is "not realy happy" with the dev gb, and would sure as hell give good money for going back to what i had before "upgrading" to gb.
Ok, I got that of my chest... someone says htc dealers can downgrade to froyo. Does anyone know of someone that can do that in Bergen, Norway?
Well, luckily for me, I do not experience any of the issues described here. From my point of view the GB update was a success.

GB works excellent for me and i have found no issues, i love it alot, only a root will be amazing to remove some main apps like gmail and maps
but i still don't know what is the Force to SD function and where to find it

Have you tried this: Move apps to SD - Unrooted Froyo Guide. Noobs Guide (from the Desire Q&A forum) ? It worked for me when I was on Stock 2.2, so it might help you too. I can't try it now, as I am already rooted and using a custom rom.
