HTC Wildfire S - HTC Wildfire S

They are releasing a new Willdfire S (which is quite a lot like the Legend) with Gingerbread!

Wildfire s
Anyone notice that the new wildfire s bears nearly identical specs to our precious aria? Hopefully this means we'll see yet one more unofficial sense based Rom but this time with gingerbread.

Yeah, lets hope it will be possible to port this ROM to our phones!

Let's just hope they share the same drivers. I can't wait untill the Wildfire S release. Did anyone else find the 2011 lineup from HTC very dissapointing?

I agree with the (slightly) disappointing line up. On the otherhand they are all nice devices and I would pick one anyday over a Samsung or LG. Some dual core android HTC shift-esque action with honeycomb would be definitely be welcome though.

Fcuk Wildfire Does HTC Salsa remind you something ?

Although that facebook buttons spoils everything for me
Still, it will be interesting to see if sense 2.0 will be possible to be ported and run on Legend with reasonable performance (Wildfire and Salsa have 512 of RAM - I think, this might make a difference).
ps. Sorry about the links - new user - no privileges to post links yet :/
cheers,
B.

Personally, I'm a little disappointed with HTC's offerings. And while I love my Aria, I think my next phone will be an Atrix. I love Cyanogen, so finegrs crossed it gets some love from the devs!

FACEBOOK button!?!?! When the hell did a freakin website get privileged enough to get a damn dedicated button on a cell phone??

judging by its similar specs to our legend, i'm very sure our talented chef will ported to our phones very soon. besides, gingerbread is already available to us through cyanogenmod7. fingers crossed and waiting for it. =)

But where can I find tools to port the Facebook button?...

...Really?? How is facebook as influential as Google? I know it's popular but it's nothing special by any means. Google at least makes Android, all Facebook does is constantly change their garbage website for the worse.
The fact that Facebook got so integrated with todays society somehow really only gives me more doubts for humanity.

Wait... I did't see any FB button on wildfire s. I sow it only on salsa and chacha...

It will be hard to port gingerbread from wildfire s to legend... because the wildfire s has a better and faster processor... a next-gen processor...

No it doesn't

It all depends. If it has at least arm v7 instructions, then yes. If not, then there's flash lite.

Congratulations on bumping a 2 year old thread, you've topped the previous record for this section. I don't think we'll ever get an instant boot on the wildfire. Its just too much loading to do for a 528mhz (at stock speeds) CPU.

Well,
Considering the Wildfire S has it, also blackberry s have it.
I know this isn't a blackberry forum or w/e but the speeds are the same and all it seems in reality is saving the settings from the previous use.
And I think this is an important subject as our phone is probably going to die soon and if we can squeeze all the potential out of it when everybody cared, then maybe one day the wildfire wont be looked up on as a crappy old phone that didn't do anything amazing, if people looked at it as an amazing phone that's full of potential and everybody loves then that is when i would stop these "2 year old bumps".

It'd be a nice thing to have, but I don't think anyone will be developing it anytime soon.
The thing about it, is that pretty much most implementations are closed sourced, especially the HTC Sense version of it.
The one fully (more or less) GB Sense ROM we have, doesn't have "fast boot" (as HTC is calling it).

Htc Desire Official update may be Senseless!

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/24/telstra-will-scrap-sense-ui-to-make-room-for-gingerbread-on-the/
In Austrailia there is an update for the Desire which is senseless... Just thought i should share it with yous

Agree, don't see HTC rolling out a Sense-less ROM. And I wouldn't like that either!
It says UI not apps, and engadget is a trusted sourse, im just tellin yall, i dont really care cus i have a desire Z just passing on the news
This may be true,since it would be TElstra update and not an official HTC rollout per usual.
Now if only HTC would realize how sucky SenseUI is and scrap it,and make a totally new UI ,that is sleek,fast,and mainly bloatware free!
It wouldn't make sense for htc to drop sense completely; not upgrading to sense v2.1 is more likely
I hope that we even get it sense or no sense. No update yet just speculations
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
i hope this is a true
This makes no sense lol
Anyway, I bet it's a mistake. Desire without Sense is not Desirable at all.
Would love to have the option to go senseless on my HTC Desire via a official rom. Would be prety amazing tbh!
Isn't that a branded phone? They probably shoved so much bloatware that sense doesn't fit

Funnily enough, their branding consists of a few web-link "apps", and a splash screen on boot up prior to the boot animation. That's it really
More than likely it is just miscommunication

Sense 3.5 screenshots leaked [update:3.5 ROM now available]!!!!

Hi All,
Just now came to know about this news in GSMArena.com.

Ya.. Sense 3.5 is optimized to run in lower-end hardware.... So Our Desire should be able to handle that I guess
I saw an article saying it was more optimized and doesnt have the same 'high end' hardware requirements as 3.0 too
we just need to wait for a port now I guess?
did I read right that the Bliss is similar spec to the Desire Z?

Looks cool but I guess I will need to wait for a rom with that on top for my desire
This looks cool. I'd be interested to try it when someone makes a rom.
I can't say I like the weather lock-screen (even the lock ring looks poorer in quality) here but I assume this is a prototype/beta version anyway. I'm sure everything will look better once it gets an official release.
Anyone got any idea when this is mean to come out?
We have to wait for HTC Bliss ROM.

Newly Discover HTC One X bug!

Hey guys,
I've recently discovered a loop hole in the Sense 4 lockscreen on the One X. It would be greatly appreciated if you bring awareness to this issue. Unfortunately, since this is my first post, I am unable to include any links to the YouTube video I have made. Hopefully I can post it as a reply to this thread because its very interesting.
I think I'm the only one that knows about this. So please comment if you have this issue too.
I'm guessing you mean where you can get the ICS entry screen on the security lock?

No, but if your the guy that left a comment on the Engadget post about HTC and left a link to your video too than its your video I've seen.
I wouldn't call it a bug, as it doesn't affect the system in a negative way, in fact I think it looks better then the Sense overlay they added.

Haha small world! I have the Galaxy Nexus and it was my brothers One X. He always tells me to find a way to disable Sense or find a ROM that uses the Stock ICS. He believes that native ICS on the One X would be the best.
I'm loving my Galaxy Nexus, can't wait to get my hands on the Galaxy S 3 and so excited to see what the next Nexus would be like.
It kinda sucks that I can't post the YouTube link here though.

Until you get enough posts to include links, you can always get around that by putting spaces in the URL, which people can then remove.

I'd do a search for you, but I'm using my phone at the moment not a computer and I'm extremely busy. If you browse the development section of the One X forums I know for a fact there is a One X Vanilla ROM. Don't bother searching, just go OneX>Development and browse around those top threads, plenty of other ROM's there too. It'll likely be on page 1 or 2.

I agree, Sense 3 was too heavy, Sense 3.5 was a fail and despite being created in tandem with Sense 4, Sense 3.6 really doesn't improve much.
Sense 4, different story. Still unstable, but give it a few months
Samsung's are only fast because they have **** software on then, that's an opinion not a fact. Touchwiz offers NO functionality more than the Stock Vanilla launcher, so why bother?
S3 + Vanilla hits the spot, but so does the One X

The one thing I long for on my phone is the time when the phone is locked. Old devices used to do it, like old Nokia's and the Lumia Symbian devices
For me, Sense improves the overall experience. I see Sense as an OS. Really it is Sense featuring Android, not Android featuring Sense, but that just shows how dedicated to improving and innovating software HTC are, now optimization is the key!
Phones need something like Windows Update, exploits and problems are found all the time, but fixes are never rolled out individually unless they are extremely crucial.

Thanks for pointing the space technique out bro, I was aware of it but could be bothered spacing it as jaaystott has already provided the link.lol
I've noticed a lot bugs mostly with the stock browser which I hardly use (mostly using Chrome), and I think HTC should invest a little more time on it as it's their flag-ship, but I'm also disappointed with how the One S beats the One X in all benchmarks. tsk tsk tsk....
Hopefully a well built ROM (Vanilla ICS) will come along and will get rid of all the heavy stuff in HTC Sense and will give a bit of an extra boost performance wise.

[DEV] Open webOS for One X

Let's port the webOS(http://www.openwebosproject.org/) to One X. I'm keeping a bounty of $100 for any developer who is able to make a fully functional port.

An additional $100 here.
this would be a great idea, but would it be doable?
wouldn't it be easier to port some of it's features, if it is, and improve on current htc one x android roms, making them even better and maybe ppossibly setting a new standard?

BUMP to resurrect this thread.
I used to own a Palm Pre, and i can say without a doubt, that WebOS was smoothest and most intuative OS i've ever used..the ONLY thing that held WebOS down was the horrid hardware Palm and HP put out....
Please someone, I can't pledge a whole 100, but i will certainly pledge $40....it ain't much, but if you add up what the others say, it will get you pretty damn close to a new nexus 7....and than we could beg the great dev who does it to port it to the Nexus 7...
Come on XDA, lets do this...well one of you great devs do it!! lol....i'm a great tester flasher, but i'm no dev and i don't have the hardware to build it out...
I had the Palm Pre 1 and still have the Pre 3. They're great and easy to use devices. WebOs has so much potential, it shouldn't be given up that easy! It's so innovative and full of interesting functions. I would love to see a port to the One X!!
Some of it's benefits:
really fast!!
easy to use
a great solution for "multitasking" (some say it's a useless gimmick, but they should take a look how other OS's solved this problem (!...))
gorgeous interface!
ability to play .apk's (ACL)
Opensource
and far more things I can't remember right now
To compare how good the software architecture of WebOs is, take a look at the Moto Droid (Milestone 1) and the Palm Pre. While the Droid is very laggy on Eclaire or even Froyo, the Palm Pre with the same processor as the Droid runs very very fast and smooth. Even with WebOs 2.1, which actually hasn't been released for the Pre. There's a port of WebOs 2.1 for the Pre and even then it's still so smooth and fast. Flash contents on websites are running very fast, but when I take a look at my Droid using flash contents on websites...I can count the frames...
I still belive in WebOs, because it's, in my opinion, a great OS!!

With the lack of proper drivers (which can't be solved in this case), such a port will never be all that great.

Interesting project. Do we have any dual boot software ported over to our advice?

chromium OS on hox will be nice too .
You probably need to email and pm devs to get people to work on this. Look for the big devs on your devices forum pm them advertise it to them as a new thing to test and how fun it will be for them to do something new, then offer them the reward.
