I have a htc desire a8181 and have cyanogenmod7 on it, i heard that CM6.1 had quickboot like the desire hd has, and i seen the video with the nexus one quickbooting on youtube, but when i start, i get a white screen with "HTC" on it and then i get the cyanogen boot animation, what must i do to get the same results?
it's not available yet
thanks, do u know when will it be available? and if i upgrade this to a newer version, will i lose my data?
Check out CM7's 'home screen tips widget'. On one of the tips, on one of the tips, this is how it reads.......... "The only rule of CyanogenMOD is that you don't ask for ETAs."
I'm currently on the lastest CM7, which is RC4 and that function is not yet available. Cant wait to have it though

I'm using opendesire for 3 4 months, for a long time.
I'm looking for sense alternative due to problems that i face .
I want to have sense back.
The users who uses froyo sense rom , please tell me your suggestions.
Thank you
Leedroid
wait for the camera fix for HD ROMs ; )
or if you don't use the camera often, than RCMixHD
if you use it, than AuraxTSense
Desire HD port ROM is the best sense rom available but the camera doesn't works.
NextSense(AuraxTSense) & Leedroid are also good and i noticed nextsense ROM gives more battery life.
so it depends on what you need..!
Actualy i'm looking for more battery life and simplicity . Opendesire is best at this matter. But i'm looking for new alternatife because of lock problem

Well thats what I have assumed! Its a bit of a nightmare to keep changing between roms. I guess I could nandroid my current setup and just try it out!
Hi guys a noob here. Be gentle with me!
Just been following this thread as I am considering rooting my unbranded desire. I think I am right in assuming I don't need a Goldcard as it isn't branded? I am only interested in the new HD ROM once the camera issue is fixed. This is my question to you experts.........
If you flashed the HD ROM to Desire, would you still be able to register with HTC Sense.com??? Or, when you register, does the registration process check the IMEI or serial number and sees it as a Classic Desire and refuses?
Interesting question perhaps.......Anyone got an opinion?
Also chaps, once rooted will I be able to permanently disable the annoying startup jingle on the "quietly brilliant" page and also will I be able to change the key to bring the Desire out of sleep from power key to say menu or home key before swiping to unlock??
Looking forward to some good answers.
make a goldcard just in case...
Loaded RCmixHD no probably register for htcsense I was able to use some facilities ie downloading new skins
Trying cynogen 6.0.2 good setup. Auretaxsense has great CPU app. Was getting rediculous high scores on 7.9 using sense is

Yep, goldcard not needed for unbranded phones. With HD ROM (from RCMixHD) htc hub works and you can create account for yourself at htcsense.com, all these work like a charm. Now don't give ideas to HTC for doing device identification using IMEI or other tricks
Depending on what ROM you chose the splash changes, ofcourse almost all of them get rid of the "quietly brilliant" page.
Menu Key change is again done by the ROM gurus, either you try to cook one per you liking are use whatever you get
Greetings XDA members,
I bought a desire 3 weeks ago and so far I am really satisfied with it.
After exploring this site, I learned that it is possible to load the new sense on the desire. With the camera working, it becomes even more attractive.
My question is: are the HD sense roms slower than the normal sense roms?
Because this is one thing I really want: a speedy phone (no lag when browsing menus, homescreens, etc...). Is it possible to compare a quadrant score?
I now run stock unrooted 2.2 froyo.
Thanx!
im actually experiencing WAY faster response, the original sense had some lag, the HD does not. but this is my experience.
I Switched from Modaco R9 to RCmixHD yesterday as the Camera fix came out.
My Experience ist that the HD ROM is much faster and more responsive.
Quadrant is about 1650 +-50 points.
The first boot of RCmixHD takes a very long time, but after that it runs like hell!
Yep, HD ROM is noticeably quicker than stock Sense
good ROM, stable, quick, no lag for the moment.
1st boot really long.
Yep, new-Sense seems faster to me despite all the pretty animations. Quadrant confirms this, despite the fact that I'm using the same richardtrip kernel as I was with Auraxt.

I have the same quadrant score running aurax so thats not a score. I've been trying RCMixHD but came back to stock sense.. nothing special for now. When the new sense officially appear for desire it will be much more new custom, better roms.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
But the non-HD ROMs are all tweaked up to hell to get them quick. I get 1700+ with NO tweaks made to the ROM and on the stock kernel that it comes with. If I was to play with UVOC and the like we could be over 2000
Nice, i'll try it again if the camera fully work.

Which way to root?
okay, thanks for the quick replies. I'm pretty sure the HD rom is better than what I have now
Second question: What is the best way to root my phone because I find dozens of methods to do it and some say it won't work on 2.2 etc?
I had 2.2 when I bought the phone.
software-number: 2.10.405.2
H-boot: 0.93
Can I use unrevoked 3.21? Or is that not possible because I already have 2.2?
Thank you again for the help!
As I remember you have to downgrade your hboot and then try unrevorked. Best and easy.

Just try Unrevoked without downgrading something, it will work
Don't forget to install the modded USB-Drivers...
You don't need to downgrade just run unrevoked and it will work.
after reading HD rom is faster than stock rom, i would love to flash it on my desire....i have a rooted desire running Leedroid 2.2f, what version of HD rom do you suggest ? also how do i back up everything except the system apps etc ? the leedroid i flashed was after i rooted my desire for the first time and i am a newbie at flashing, rooting etc
And my last question...
okay thanks, I just don't want to brick my phone. That's the reason for all my questions...
last question: Today I use HTC Sync to sync playlists with itunes and contacts and agenda with outlook. I now you have to uninstall HTC Sync to perform the rooting and flashing. But can you use it afterwards to sync all that info and media?
Thank you!
I found it is much faster since using the HD rom has anyone signed up to the htcsense.com service? Or are you leaving it incase the desire officially gets the new sense.
i think there faster then ne most sense roms. some of the HD Sense Rom´s are slowly but most of them are fast
You have to uninstall HTC Sync before rooting!
After u can reinstall it again!
Some things in the HD ROMs are definately slower (even if only some) .. for example one important thing: pulling out the notification area lags a bit if you didn't do it for a while. Might sound minor bit annoyed me after some time...
Ge...ta...ta...tapatalked mit meinem Desire
Firstly, Quadrant and such I ignore and they mean nothing to me. Actual usage dictates.
Desire HD Sense is faster/smoother/more responsive overall. It's also more polished up in many areas. I've noticed the speed with certain apps (camera/those using camera) and the browser. I'm saying this with over 20 constantly sync'ing, chunky widgets on the screens which made the HTC Desire 2.2 Sense lag. Especially Pure Messenger.
The only semi-bug I have is network band switching causing a high amount of lag when it occurs. Pretty much everything freezes up for a few seconds at those moments while I don't get that on the typical HTC 2.2 ROM. This still may not be ROM related though.
I sincerely think anyone comfortable with stock 2.2 or a tweaked version of it will love the HD ROM once they've tried it. My experience is only with RCMixHD to make it clear.

Has anyone been able to extract the TV Tube animation from the Gingervillain rom, or is it even possible? I find the animation really cool when you shut the screen off. Just wanted to know if someone did it, cause I don't really want to flash to the Gingervillain rom with some people reporting random reboots and other bugs.
Looks like this:

Its part of gingerbread. You can get it if you flash CM7.

The Nightly CM7 or the RC1?
Any gingerbread

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for an explanation on my matter but there seems to be some good minds at work so here goes.
I have searched around the web a bit (and in XDA) but can't seem to find a solid answer, with all the wealth of ROMs available and ports from the desire HD an Z. Is it conceivable that you could fit windows phone OS onto a desire? Do we have the processing power as desire owners? Does our NAND system work differently to that of a HTC windows phone? Is it at all possible?
Hmmmmmmmm? Dual boot even???????

I recently got an OTA update for gingerbread in HTC desire HD.
The problem is.
1) as I heard, gingerbread give way better battery optimization compared to froyo, but I find no difference. Still I find my DHD consuming a lot of energy and Atleast is comes to 30 by end of the day.
2) as my phone is not rooted. Where can I find .apk skins and sense for my DHD.
3) My lockscreen is the same what I had in froyo. Gingerbread has a new one. How can I change it.
4) And my keyboard is also the same as before. I m not able to locate the default gingerbread keyboard.
5) The UI is pretty much the same what I had in froyo. Does that mean I m still using froyo though I find my software version as 2.3.3 gingerbread.

1) Try not keeping Wifi & 3G on, for me those have been using lots of power even when im not using them
2) HTC Hub or here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048894
3) Because the DHD has Sense it has the HTC lockscreen, im pretty sure you can install the stock lockscreen though.
4) Again, since it's Sense you are given HTC's keyboard, but if you search around you can find an apk of the stock gingerbread keyboard (i've seen it in the marketplace)
5) The UI is still HTC Sense 2.1, but yes it's Gingerbread. It just doesn't look like stock gingerbread does (green battery logo, menus, etc)
Thanks Sromer. That almost answered all my doubts.
