Hi all,
I have a rooted HTC Desire, with DeFrost ROM installed.
1. I wanna ask about, is that true if an Official Froyo for Desire HD/Z can be installed for old Desire too?
2. I was wondering, why Desire Z have a better performance rather than old Desire? Even those Desire Z have a low end spec rather than Desire?
3. Can old Desire supporting HD movie/games? like Desire Z/HD?
Thanks a lot for the answer..
It's lower in terms of processor speed but the processors are next generation to the original Desire so perform the same at a lower frequency.
Put the HD ROM onto your Desire and see how you like it - it's very good

Hoo..
Where can i get the HD ROM? Do you mean any Costum ROM from Sub: Desire HD?
Use the search function
I don't think you can use any rom that was made for the Desire HD/Z on your desire because of the different kernel, the different screen size and other factors.
Just use one of the 3 HD ROMs currently up in the Dev forum, I'm using RCMixHD now and its awesome

What about battery life?
Normal like normal rom of Desire?
Or it uses much more energy?
I find it the same as stock 2.29.405.2 with my normal usage

Hi,
I am in the fortunate situation that I can pick out any cell phone that I Want. The Phone I have as of today is a HTC Desire.
Before I choose out a phone I wonder if there are any Custom ROM that can compare with the "clean, smooth and fast" Oxygen Room by AdamG for Desire HD?
the Desire HD is the Desire much improved, but we don't have anything as clean as the oxygen rom in development yet, best you can do is CM6
i'm on the official sense rooted + buzz kernel 1.0.6 and its running like a dream
What is the big improvement? "Start-up from hibernating" ?
Isnt the big improvements software-wise, and not hardware?
4.3 inch screen very close to the surface, despite not being either IPS or Amoled but its just beautiful, simply use a classic desire after the DHD and you will understand
much better soft keys instead of hard to press hard keys
beautiful unibody design
50% more RAM
more efficient 2nd gen snapdragon, OCable to 1.5GHz
internal storage problem gone for good, you have around 1GB free internaly, you dont see a mention of A2SD or Data2sd around here
a GPU that can handle 800x480 games at last, runs quake2 at 60fps makes a laugh out of the old one
Genuine Four Point Multi-touch sensor, you will never loose a reckless racing match because the touch gone crazy and you wont have to explain it to your friends
better camera and flash, check here Desire HD Camera guide
all you need to do is make sure you can handle the size plus weight, also make sure the unit you purchase is clean of factory defects, more info here Compilation of DHD ISSUES
as for the battery, custom kernels and calibration will solve that for you
more info here Would you buy Desire or Desire HD?
any other question and it will be like asking me to buy it for your just kidding
good luck

Hi,
thank you for your reply
I have tried out a HD, but only with HTC Official Rom - and that ROM is lagging!
Great screen, yes ;-)
What do you mean about the problem with internal storage? Is the install location = SD as default, or is the internal storage expanded?
You may want to consider the battery before you buy, I tried every mod/kernel/custom rom/ 2g ect ect and the battery is terrible..1250mah is the reason why not matter how you look at it...When your out all day and some of the night without a charger then the phone becomes useless..
The main reason I sold mine, if that doesn't bother you then its a great phone..
Hd recording is pretty bad too, it becomes worse when compared to the SGS...a big difference..

Rooting the phone and installing the buzz kernel will eliminate lag in the stock rom. It will also improve battery life.
Internal storage is 1.5gb, which leaves about 1gb for apps, rest if for the rom.
If after the new kernel you find it still too slow you can try cyanogen mod. Its very fast and stable although battery life is a little less than stock rom for some people.
Sent with Christmas cheer.
the official rom lags because of the stupid /init bug, easily solved by enabling usb debugging mode check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826507
as an added speed i'm running Buzz kernel v1.0.6 with interactive governor and it never lags even if i try check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880573
HD recording is not bad as long as you learn how to adjust the settings, you can check the info in my camera guide
as for storage i meant with the classic desire you have very little 150MB internal storage, you have around 1GB with the DHD

Its not in the same league as the SGS...that goes for sound quality too..having had both phones and comparing them there is a big difference.
did this just turn out into an SGS vs Desire HD thread?? i don't get it really
the question was against Desire, there is another thread praising SGS go there
if you want me to go ahead and start hammering your SGS low points, i can go right now

hello dhd users. im currently a desire user and im contemplating upgrading to a dhd. my question is how much faster is the dhd? can it run n64oid without as many issues? can i p[lay goldeneye? i know the desire hd has a better cpu and gpu which is the reaosni ask. id like to stay with htc but may grab a nexus s. any info would b great. thx
So here's the plan:
I am getting the Sensation once it's rooted and price is 600$ and less, so I guess July?
In the waiting period I want to have fun with an htc device with plenty of roms, I still don't know if I get a Desire or DHD, so if you can help me:
-Which one has a louder speaker for ringtones?
-Better screen under sunlight?
-Overall quality/design
-Battery life?
I am afraid of the DHD weight while it's just 30g more
Also buying it will cost 100$ more but reselling in 2 month?
The DHD has the better screen, but lower battery life. But with a costume kernel you can safe battery. I have a Desire and I'm not dissapointed. But why can't you wait until august?
Btw: I think the DHD has louder speakers...

Bigger doesn't actually mean better. DHD has the same SLCD screen as Desire packed with the same resolution on 0.5" larger screen, which gives greater dot pitch which is never a good thing in the terms of image quality.
For the battery life I would consider them roughly equal, despite the larger screen DHD has more energy efficient hardware.

surely the fact you can pick up a Desire cheaper is better in the short term?
although waiting would be the best option imo
Already sold the Arc!
I am going to the mobile shop after lunch, I will see if the DHD is too big and heavy or not, if it's too much for me I will pick a Desire, as simple as that
I have a slight preference for DHD because I am afraid the Desire will be a sort of return to my old device (N1) so perhaps little boring while the DHD has some upgraded hardwares and Sense 3.0 weather rom
Even for 1.5/2 months

I'd choose none of those lol...if you really can't wait i'd recommend a nexus s, dhd has a decent cpu but the gpu still is quite suckish even compared to the one the sgs packs.
Btw, looks like the sgs II will own the sensation big time, plus it has unlocked bootloader and it has been rooted already...
I got the desire and the DHD and I have to say desire is better to use cos you can in fact use it with one hand. 0.6 inches really makes a difference.
The screen on dhd just looks like a stretched desire to me. I installed the DHD rom on my desire and a 32 gig card with a 4 gig ext and basically, no issues whatsoever.
so i sold my dhd and got an ipod touch and glued it to the back of my desire!
If it is only for waiting..Desire should be your solution.
Desire is still a good phone and it is cheap especially the second handed ones.....and..who knows you can still found the old one with AMOLED....
Or the newer white one...

There are plenty of ROMs such as InsertCoin, RCmixHD, etc.
Instruction? Just like any other custom ROMs.
I recommend InsertCoin Data2Ext or InsertCoin Data++.
I am using InsertCoin Data2Ext and still not tempted to try others at the moment, it is the best I have till now ('ve tried LeeDroids, MIUI, RCmixHD, etc.)
I am now waiting an 100% working, relatively bug-free, and stable Android 2.3 new-Sense ROM.
One great advantage of the DHD is that HTC started the rollout for official Gingerbread for the DHD!
Bought a DHD!
I don't regret a sec
Great roms for that great device, I am getting 2200 pts in quadrant when I had 1400 max with Nexus one
ill sell u my htc desire unlocked if u want
Currently I using a stock rom Froyo 2.2 came with earlier sense, I do have read a review for "wildfire S" it's comming with sense 2.1.
I think for CPU are same as 600MHZ,
- is that possible to upgrade to sense 2.1 ?
- or any custom rom with sense 2.1 ?
Nope.
Both these phones are not that similar as their name suggests. They are completely different. CPU is not just the same . The chipset is different along with gpu support and increase in MHz. And screen resolution is improved to HVGA on wildfire S.
Wildfire S is a lot upgraded version of wildfire.
Newer sense is not possible on wildfire. I don't know what the Wildfire S sense is...

Hi.
I want to buy cheap used phone for min. 1 year. The phone must be able to support stable ICS/JB ROM or has many custom ROMs. It would be great, if the battery last good. I see that Desire and Desire Z are quite good for my expectations, but there're few diffrences.
Desire Z's CPU has almost same performance as Desire, but uses less power.
Desire Z's GPU is a way better than Desire's (Adreno 200 vs Adreno 205).
Desire has AMOLED which uses more energy.
Which do you prefer for me?
I would go for the DZ.
It's just faster and it has a nice keyboard to.
Battery lifetime will be just the same.
I have both of them, so if you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask!
Desire z for sure
its newer and the hardware keyboard is nice to have tho android versions beyond gingerbread dont support it
however devs are hard at work to bring ICS and Jellybean to the device and many are quite stable
Desire at this point is old, even older then the desire z
