Yeah, it'll come for sure. But it'll be available in custom ROMs way before HTC get around to releasing it.
but it'll work same as the official 2.3 right?

Its a good thing though dude, its nice to know there are people dedicated to the cause
2.3 will come firstly as a port from the nexus, and then within 1-2 months we will see an updated G2 and sense rom, then at the end of 2020 we will see it drop on the SGS, lol lol ;P
And as soon as the gingerbread source code is released, Cy will get to work on CM7

This is just a rumor, but Phandroid has a rumor that says 2.3 could be unvieled as early as today (12/6). I don't think it'll happen, but I have my fingers crossed.
I know Moto Droids running vanilla Android and the Nexus 1 always get updates first because they're running vanilla Android. We're running Vanilla Android, so maybe we'll get to be apart of the "hahahaha, we got it before you did, sucker Sense/Motoblur/Touchwiz users!" group?

That statement is absurd. The N1 has only had ONE UPDATE!!! At least only one MAJOR update... it shipped with 2.1, it is currently 2.2 (2.2.1 is minor, hardly counts.)

That's only half of the statement, friend. The point I was trying to make was that the phones with vanilla android get the updates sooner than all the other UIs. Since we run vanilla android like the nexus 1 and the moto droids do, we should be getting 2.3 the same time they do which, historically, has been far sooner than everyone else.

G2 is not pure Google/Stock/Vanilla/Virgin whatever you want to call it.
While yes, the G2 is the closest thing to Vanilla FroYo available (aside from the Nexus Series of course, which is 100% stock), it isn't entirely pure. There is another thread pertaining to this, anyways the guesstimate is that we will get it a month or two after the Nexus S is released, which is December 16th in the United States.
BTW, I love my G2, I think it's the sickest phone available right now, but at the same time, it isn't fully stock. Read Cyanogen's blog about it.
It's going to take some time to get it just right for the G2. In any event, I can't wait!
I'm guessing Feb. 2011, although after having played with the SDK's Emulator a bit, there aren't any DRASTIC changes in Gingerbread, which means less dev. work, so who knows, maybe even sooner! Definitely after X-mas.

Oh I know we're not running 100% Vanilla, but we are running it without a 3rd party UI put over top so I'm sure we'll get it much sooner than Sense, Motoblur and Touchwiz phones do.
I think it'll be sooner than February (my money is on a January release, as the Nexus S is being released with 2.3, so 2.3's release will be the day the S comes out). It shouldn't take that long to toss together 2.3-compatible versions of the apps that makes ours different from a 100% pure device. Of course, it's all up to Tmo in the end.
I'm waiting until 2.3 update before I root. I was waiting for CM 6 stable but with 2.3 just around the corner, it's worth waiting for. I'd like to see what it's like before I go rooting around in my phone. Pun squarely intended.

Isn't the whole point of 2.2(FroYo) that the Android segmentation is abolished and that we would be downloading Sense UI from the market.
If this is true we should all expect 2.2 the moment it is released as it will be a generic, basic Google ROM, then we would just have to wait for HTC to update Sense for 2.2 and we would be able to download that and off we go!
I am not sure if I am correct but this is the way I understood Android to be going.

The big difference here is the existence of the Nexus One, which will get an update pretty much straight away.
Since the Desire is very close hardware wise to the Nexus One, I'd hope that it wouldn't take too long to "Sensify" 2.2 and get an update out to Desire users. Failing that, if you're rooted, they'll be cooked 2.2 Nexus ROMs out for the Desire in fairly short order.

Actually, SetCPU will have no effect when running on rooted Desires.
When I pull the sliders across, it seems to have no effect, and the green max and min frequencies remain unchanged. HTC has a driver that they implement which keeps overriding SetCPU. We need to hope they (HTC) release the Kernel source. Once this happens, there will surely be a release of a modified Kernel with SetCPU support and overclocking/undervolting (assuming the CPUs in the Desire are binned the same way as the CPUs in the Nexus, this should yield a 10% overclock and better battery life).
Problem is HTC is really slow in releasing the source, it's borderline, illegal, and very irritating.

I probably don't know what I'm talking about, but my sliders seem to work fine. The widget display claims my speeds are scaling too, and my battery life seems remarkably improved, though that could be due to running the MCR. I don't know.

See I thought this was the whole point of FroYo. We all get the basic Google Rom (maybe with a few service provider tweaks) then we download UI of our choice from the market.
Apart from service providers having to mess around with the Rom there's no reason why we should be waiting for months to get it. Most people in this thread seem to give the impression that we won't see 2.2 for ages while HTC upgrade Sense(I assume there's a few ex-hero users in here). This isn't true though, we'll be running 2.2 and waiting for a download of sense via the market. yeah?

I don't follow your logic. This is the release of a new handset from Motorola, it's not a milestone in Froyo releases and certainly doesn't dictate (at least in the short term) what HTC will or will not do.

Notice that Google and Adobe are announcing the next generation of the Moto Droid with FroYo.
Now what we can understand from this is that...
Motorola are releasing the successor to the Droid with FroYo
Adobe are releasing Flash 10.1 Final
Google are more than likely going to start proper OTA updates on the Nexus One
All of these are going to occur on the 23rd of June. Doesn't it seem a bit of an odd coincedence that a few weeks back we heard unconfirmed reports from HTC customer service that a FroYo release was to come on the 23rd of June?
It seems far too perfectly in sync to be a coincedence. Google are trying to stop device fragmentation right? Doesn't having its biggest hardware makers Motorola and HTC releasing FroYo on their devices along with Flash 10.1 being released on the same day sound like a start to defragmentation?
However, HTC is not mention once in the whole story, I would like to see it, but I think Honduras have a better chance of winning the world cup

There is some logic in this indeed.
It would be cool: a global Froyo launch over multiple devices. Better then slowly updating each device over a 6-12 month period.
The Android Army is marching in on the 23rd! One day before the iPhone 4 is released. Sounds typical Google.
I think there is straw clutching too.
HTC have nothing confirmed, for all we know the announcement by Motorolla is that the new Droid handsets will run Froyo and thats all. And a release date for handsets.

And has nothing in history ever changed? There is a first time for everything, including HTC bringing an update fast. If you are looking at the Hero: that was a totally different situation IMO. Froyo is much needed for the Desire while eclair for the Hero was not so big. Flash wants to be on as much possible devies as fast as possible. Google wants a big Froyo launch, which will have a much bigger impact than slow, unnoticed Froyo updates.

The Hero was their first Android device with Sense UI. The Desire is not and they have already seen what happens when they delay an update too long.
I was just curious if anyone had started development on a GB ROM with Sense baked in? I am trying out OMGB right now, and am LOVING the speed increases, but I am also missing Sense like it were my first born child.
Thanks in advance.
Judging by how efforts to make a Sense+2.2 build for the Droid Eris have been going (there's no official 2.2 for the Eris), I'd have to say that it's going to be a while if it happens. They're doing a good job, but the progress has been slow.
Unless the differences between 2.2 and 2.3 are much smaller than between 2.1 and 2.2, it'll be virtually impossible until an HTC device releases with 2.3 and Sense. Even then, it'll be a challenge.
Skyraider Ginerbread
Really looking forward when a skyraider gingerbread rom arrives one can only hope X..
Porting Sense itself is pretty much impossible. HTC has all the Sense apks deeply tied into the framework. It'd be rather ridiculous to try and extract everything.
I believe a team tried it, and I'm not sure what happened, but I don't see Sense apks floating around, so I assume they failed.
What they ARE doing now is porting the full ROM. Porting an entire Sense ROM to work on another device is a lot easier.
So, to answer your question, you will not be seeing Sense ported to GB. Instead, you will see a 2.3 Sense ROM in its entirety being ported.

That's what I was originally hoping for as well, but I did some searching through his thread, and someone had already asked him about that. He said that he didnt believe the benefits were worth his time at the moment, and that he would rather work on integrating the new Sense into his existing Froyo rom. Personally, I have found GB to be much faster, but that is just me. Also, the built in SIP stack has the potential to be nice, if I planned on staying with this ROM long enough to get me a VOIP account.
Short, simple and to the point.

It kind of makes sense though (no pun intended) for it to launch with 2.3. The Nexus S launched with 2.3, and I'm sure that all higher-end devices in 2011 will be trying to launch with 2.3 as well to keep the competition level. That, and 2.3 on VZW's 4G network would (hopefully) help to level the playing field against *faster* networks like T-Mobile's *4G* network. XD
When is the incredible HD supposed to come out anyway? I plan on holding off on a 4g phone for awhile to enjoy my unlimited data but I'm curious.

The only official word we have received is that they would be showing some devices off at CES, and are planning on releasing up to 6 LTE handsets in Q1. They have said they would have a 4g Moto device in February, and there have been some leaked pics of the Mecha/Thunderbolt/DInc HD, HTC Merge, as well as a Samsung 4g device floating around. Some are speculating that with all the leaks, as well as a site put out there by HTC saying basically that they were first in 4G for Sprint, TMobile, and will be again, that they will show off the devices and at least one, likely the DInc HD will be available as soon as the next day. So I guess that is my long way of saying, hopefully Jan 7.

If I recall correctly neither is Verizon LTE or Sprints WiMax. 4G is the second gen LTE and WiMax.
But I want a IncHD so bad. Not even for the not even close to 4g speeds. Seeing as we only just got 3g where I live 2 or 3 years back.
You are both correct, and incorrect. Originally whatever group gets to decide what is the fourth generation said that only the second generations of those technologies were truly 4G, however; now, according to one of the sites I check regularly (I cant remember if it was Gizmodo, TechCrunch,Engadget or all of the above), that group has loosened up a bit and said basically, It is not really 4G, but it kinda is, so we dont care what you call it.
Edit:
Here is that article.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/18/itu-capitulates-admits-that-the-term-4g-could-apply-to-lte-w/
What happens if you take the sense apks from a sense rom, put it in a 2.3 rom, sign and flash? force closes? boot loops? ill try it some day but i have stuff to do for now
Any further update on this question? I know that there are a lot of frankenstein roms out there with aspects of Gingerbread thrown in with the Z Sense 2.2 ports, ie. icons, keyboards, je non se quoi. But I'm certain that there must be some further action that has been taken on an actual GB w/ Sense 2.0 rom.
At the very least, someday soon there should be a stock rom update that can be ported (if the DInc doesn't miraculously get it near the same time that the new 4g devices receive it or debut with it)

Since it takes them time to implement a new Sense update with new versions of Android I think they're doing this on purpose so they can go up to 2.4, skipping 2.3 and releasing in June. If that's correct then I'm going to grumble but accept it, if it's still 2.3 when we get it then I'll be pretty unimpressed. The update is clearly ready if they're releasing other phones with it in the next month or so, I can't imagine what else would be holding it up.

2.3 was only made for Google phones and as HTC said the incredible s would get a 2.4 update so all the desire series devices would get 2.4

If it just once and for all fixes the problem with wireless and wpa, it's okay with me that it takes a while
To be honest I can't be all too happy about it but I can't say I didn't see it coming given the timeframe for the new phone's release.
My guess is they'll want to use the new phones as guinea pigs to iron out any unchecked bugs before trying to port it to the older Desires.
What bugs me is that the Incredible S is supposed to replace the DHD as HTC's new flagship, yet it gives me an impression of inferiority to the DHD in a lot of key ways (including but not limited to, its' construction). Funnier still is that it'll also be coming with FroYo stock, getting the update for Gingerbread (be it 2.3 or 2.4) together with the rest of the gang.
I have the feeling that HTC's "real" new flagship hasn't been announced yet (and that it'll probably be a dual-core phone).
The real new flagship has already been leaked. Google "htc pyramid"

Ah, yes, and a Dual-Core as well, again, it felt like it was time for the next step, and yes, if the rest of the speculations about the specs have any truth to them we're basically talking about a Behemoth of a cell phone.
I just hope this time HTC keeps it together when it comes to the battery, otherwise I can't imagine how conservative a person would have to be just to get through the day...
It sucks that we've gotta wait a while, but at least we know when we'll have it by
Does any one think we'll see it? I don't think we will.

If/when the update comes, I'm sure it'll just be sense 1.0. I seriously doubt HTC or Verizon are interested in giving us extra features on a 1.5 year old device, they'd much rather we upgrade.
Not to mention, the leaked GB update was sense 1.0, which I'm assuming would be a decent indication of what we'll see.
it is possible that we could see 2.1 with elements of 3.0 but it is not likely most likely it will be 1.0.
I would be expecting something a lot like a Z rom personally.

After all the excitement over in the Thunderbolt forum, you had to come see us huh? Ha ha
Very unlikely. The Desire guys over in the UK are getting a dumbed down version of sense 1.0. If we even get Gingersense, we'll get 1.0 most likely.

Yeah but the Desire has a lot less storage than the Incredible. That is why they got a "dumbed" down version of sense right? It's still very unlikely though since the Evo didn't get a newer version of sense.

I don't think we'll get gingerbread, but anyways. I don't think it will have sense 2.1 (if we get an update to sense, that's what we'd get) Mainly because they just aren't gonna bother with that. It's a rather old device, and a lot of the people who bought it are now already or coming up for an upgrade. The problem isn't our phone can't handle it. our phone can handle sense 3.0 well. But don't even think about getting that. The sense 2.1 roms are considered the lower sense roms that perform so well, it would actually probably overall perform better. Hell for an example, they put 2.1 on the wildfire s, go look at it's specs and tell me our phone couldn't run it stock. I'm just saying, we won't get it, even though we easily could.

I think we'll get gingerbread just not an upgrade to sense. Even though, like you said, our device could easily run it.

I couldn't care less if it was 1.0 as long as its something Gingy. Gives me something to do. Not to brag but it would be nice if we could atleast get something close to how my Rom is. Or newts 2.1.

Why would they? Then you have no reason to upgrade your phone. Root you phone and do it yourself, there are plenty of good/stable sense 3.0 GB roms available
I was waiting too thinking it was coming out soon.
Got sick of waiting and rooted, now I know rooting was a damn good choice. Have alot of options.

Even if we only get Sense 1.0, the kernel from HTC will give the devs something to work with.

as i said in the last thread, we, will not be seeing GB on the dinc any time soon, the phone was EOL'd in march, and if they give us that then we have no official reason to upgrade. Verizon, as a buisiness, does this to get people to buy newer phones, they tried it with the continuum, however that got froyo thanks to inmuts down in legacy playing around with the fascinate kernal.
i am on buisiness gingersense 3.0, not a very big fan of 3.0, but i LOOOVE the 3.0 lockscreen. (i can turn on the phone and get right to making a quick phonecall or snapping a pic if i need too)

I don't know where you're getting this from. I'm not saying otherwise, I'm just saying that unless you're on HTC's dev team or have some inside knowledge on Verizon's update schedule, it's all speculation.
I really couldn't care less. I'm fine running roms, and it's nice to change it up every once in a while. My upgrade isn't till June anyway(February with early upgrade)

It's nice for dev's to work on the official updates rather than leaks/ports, though.
True, although I use the gingersense leak for my roms and it is smooth as butter.
I doubt we see anything more than 1.0, but its not really an issue with all the ports out now. Would be curious to see if a dev can take the update and load 2.1/3.0 items into it though.
