I was wondering if anyone knows of a clean gingerbread ROM that can be used on the Desire HD. I've seen ROMs posted for several devices, among which the HTC Desire, but not the Desire HD yet.
I know for a fact that the Pays DHD roms are based on their Desire counterparts, but am not sure if they are identical (can I use Desire roms on my DHD? i doubt it, but would be nice to know for sure.)
Would also love to know if there's anything like this. I despise HTC Sense.
As far as I know:
you can't use Desire roms on DHD and there are no clean roms yet of Gingerbread: all fully unsuported yet.
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a new custom rom for my phone, just rooted it... all gravy but fancy trying something of the things those genius chefs have been cooking!
I was looking for a Gingerbread rom with the HTC Sense style theme, but can't seem to find one; does one exist? I've had a look through the index and the developmnent forums but can only find Froyo Sense Roms. It's not a huge issue but it would be nice as I quite like the Sense layout and apps n' stuff
Also, any recommendations on roms? I think I'm going to try some of the gingerbead ones regardless of the htc sense(I like the sound of some of the enhancements) but wonder if anyones using something they can whole heartedly recommend, froyo or no?
Yeah, I would be interested in this too...
Not gonna happen, would need a complete re-write of Sense

Indeed. Try different roms and see which you like. Also, if you want different "styles" of sense, install a HD rom but it's still 2.2. Or you can just wait for 2.3 to be released for Desire which shouldn't be that long really.

Ya I've gone for a 2.2 for now, I imagine I'll stick with it for a while until I feel a real 'need' to upgrade to 2.3.
Until HTC releases the 2.3 update for the Desire(s), nothing can be done :/

To be honest, I much prefer Gingerbread ROMs and have found Ultimate Droid 3.0.0 to be the best so far.
On top of this I use Launcherpro, which contains awesome Sense style widgets for calendar/facebook/bookmarks/contacts etc.
See it here:

I also use Fancy Widgets with the H7 clock theme as this gives me the Sense style clock on my homescreen as well.

I love this setup

I've actually seen a photo or 2.3.1 Sense 'running' as it were so it exists but it's on one of the new HTC handsets. Whether we'll see it on the Desire is another matter
was it the new htc desire 2 ? ? cant wait for desire 2 to be released.. im sure it packages gingerbread with sense and full support for honeycomb !
Honeycomb is for tablets only. There will prob be something similar for smartphones later on, maybe 2.4 or 3.0, who knows. But no, Honeycomb is non existant for phones for now.
HTC desire S
with sense and android 2.3.2 and now??
search on the youtube this sentence:
"HTC Desire S Videopreview da Telefonino.net @ MWC 2011"
I have faith it will come out until mid-year has the rom gingerbread-Sense

2.4 has already been released, it's an update release from Google of 2.3 full of BugFixes. The Desire S will be released running 2.4, as will the HTC Desire when the new sense comes to it. Check out the thread I posted covering HTC's confirmation plans to update the HTC Desire range to 2.4. This includes all models of the HTC Desire released at the moment.
Also Honeycomb will be released for phones, just only phones that have Dual Core Processors, so thats every single HTC device at the moment out of that league. Hope I helped guys
Sort of it...
Okay, Here's what you can get if you son't mind it not being an ACTUAL Sense UI
Sense UI Themes for Launcher Pro
It's not perfect, but a quick google of Sense UI Launcher Pro theme brings up quite a bit...
i'm kinda new to this but i really recommend this oxygen-2.0-RC7
I think our wait will be over soon.
Already sense ginger is on you tube.

Of course it's on YouTube - the Desire S has it out the box! Doesn't mean we'll get it soon, not until a dump is about (and not a test one doing the rounds)

Even with a dump, that new sense looks very demanding and the specs of the Desire S are slightly better than the Desire, still im not upgrading to a Desire S, my contract has almost reached one year, and after that I still have another year to go..

so lets hope the porting will start happening soon
Hello-
I was wondering if any developer would like to try porting a Sense 2.x or Sense 3.0 rom to the CDMA Desire. We don't have a single Sense rom for our phone besides the official sense 1.x RUU. I along with many owners of this phone are begging for someone to port their rom, but we have not received any help. Any time you spend on this is much appreciated and I am sure that plenty of people would be willing to donate.
Thanks!

I would love this as well, but it's not very likely to happen. I believe all the GSM Desire Sense rom's are avaliable due to a dev leak. The CDMA Desire is still only on Froyo for a Sense Kernel.
I'm trying to create an easy guide for CDMA user's since it almost needs it's own forum to make it easier for new users.
It would be nice to see sense 3.0 on our devices. I wonder if there's a way to port gsm rom on cdma device? Maybe someone can give a clue?
There have actually been some recent developments that have made the "possible." I am currently testing a version of Sense 2.1+3.0 that I have ported to the CDMA Desire with coolexe's new kernel. Some stuff isn't quite right yet (no wifi/gps/bluetooth due to kernel issues) and lack of space since I have had to port from the HTC incredible which doesn't have roms that utilize SDEXT like the Desire has to. Long story short, I have Sense 2.1 + some 3.0 elements running on my BravoC, but the data space is low (30mb after fresh install) and I have some other minor issues to work out.
wow, that would be AWESOME! I have been trying every sense 2.5 to runnymede's latest 4.0 sense rom, and have yet to have one go through. this explains it all! con247, that would be awesome man, let us know if you get it working. if you need help testing/finding bugs, i would be more than happy to help
Could someone enlighten me as to the differences in RCMix3d 234 and RCMix3d Double?
The ROM thread postings aren't too indicative. I see the kernels are different.
However, I have no clue what Pyramid vs. Doubleshot really has to do with anything?
What's it mean for the end-user I guess is my concern.
I love RcMix ROM's and the one I'm using is now unsupported. I want to upgrade to a supported ROM but am not sure which to go for.
Pyramid and doubleshot are phones from which they ported those ROMs... I think they're pretty much similar, the only difference could probably be some bugs here and there, but nothing huge...
Ah, damn. I was hoping to hear that this new one had Netflix support!
I reckon there is not much difference it's just the race of ROMS who can cook more ROM...
Pyramid is ported from the Sensation, Doubleshot is ported from the MyTouch 4G Slide. I think the Doubleshot has a slightly modified version of Sense.

I appreciate all the input! My hopes of a great custom ROM supporting Netflix is all but hopeless anymore I think.
The Netflix patch for Gingerbread breaks Sense weather.
wanted to know are they're any pure sense 2.1 roms out there like ports from dinc 2
All the pure Sense 2.0/2.1 roms are listed in the stickie titled "List of Roms for Droid Incredible" by Poqbum on the first page of the development section. They are under the category "Ported Sense." None of them have Sense 3.0 at all and have not been updated in months. All are based on the Desire Z/G2 (not DInc2) as it was one of the first phones to feature Sense 2.0+.
Pure speed by wildstang is the best one I know of, its a port from the evo shift. but a lot of stuff has sense 3.0 slapped on it nowadays.
Along with that, there is also Incredible 2 Port from newtoroot. So it has a Verizon base, and is pure Sense 2.1 from the Incredible 2.
