Hello,
Since the Desire S is now out, running gingerbread with sense, is there any chance we might see a Gingerbread/sense rom for the normal Desire soon?
It seems to be possible to port rom's from the Desire HD, although I never understood what the advantage of that would be.

Read the rules, the 1st one is SEARCH BEFORE POSTING.
Not only has this been discussed, but there already are such ports, 2 or 3 to be more specific. Go find them yourself, that's what the search button is for.
To add to the story,the official Desire GB will come out in a week or two,so why bother with AceS rom's anyway...they're rubbish.

Is there a Desire HD Rom (NewSense) for the HTC Desire CDMA Version? Can't find it anywhere.
I'll second that!
I second that. Looking for new Sense HD. I know it HAS to be possible, the Desire has already gotten the Sense HS so the hardware is compatible, the radio is totally different though and that's where we're stuck at Too few modders have cdma phones, it's a growing number though!
We're actually looking for a BravoC Sense HD ROM
Yep, it would definitely be my rom if it were released.
I was going to take up the project of porting one myself but i wouldn't know where to start.
i agree. i cant find one anywhere...
It is bad news that HTC is not going to provide Gingerbread updates for DZ.
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_will_not_be_updated_to_gingerbread-news-2779.php
Can XDA experts talk about some good Gingerbread ROMs developed here. Also if HTC sense works on those rom.
Thank you.
This story is about the original Desire not the Desire Z
First of all. Wrong section.
Second. We already have test roms.
Thirdly. I know for a fact the official rom SHOULD be out by the end of this month.
Fourth. Well, that's for the Desire. Not Desire Z, which btw. Will also get 2.3.3, for all the above reasons.
Just released

DO NOT TRY TO FLASH THIS TO YOUR HD2!!!!
Do you maybe mean this is Desire? Not the HD? Because the filename doesnt sound like its the HD (gb s = I dont know so maybe it is HD). If it is HD, I dont think this is any different from what we have now?
If its really desire, then OMG! This would be Christmas in the middle of the year! No more graphic bugs and no more overall lagging/incompleteness. Nice find, I do hope its the desire source!
Thanks
(And 100MB? Thats pretty small for HD I think...for sense even, IDK.)

The Gingerbread Desire rom is coming very soon!!!
At a dutch site this was announced after an earlier news bulletin which told it was canceled:

I thought it wouldn't be sense 3.0 because htc claims it doesn't perform on the Desire serie including the desire HD.
Also the gingerbread Desire HD has been released for some months ago.
We didn't need the Desire GB rom, we need the kernel source of the Desire Gingerbread kernel to fix the graphics and camcorder problems (imilka post). We have enough Desire HD GB rom's.
Look at http://developer.htc.com/ and wait for a new entry "HTC Desire - GB -2.6.35 kernel source code". When HTC release the Desire update, they have to publish the needed kernel source.

HTC originally said they weren't going to give the desire a gb update, but the retracted that post and said they will be doing it soon. Which means the source code will be out soon

No, they have different hardware than our phone. The DESIRE, NOTHING ELSE, just PLAIN old DESIRE will work perfect for our phones. But ANYTHING else, WILL NOT WORK.
They need to sticky this one sentence. Let everyone know that the original desire is what we need. They ARE in progress to release as everyone keeps saying.
Great, now we have even more misinformation... ^^
You should edit your post to say "The Desire source is what we need to get everything working perfectly on our phones. Everything else will work but just not that well. "
Hell, we even got the sensation/kingdom roms ported on the h2d, so I don't see what you remotely mean by "No, they have different hardware than our phone. The DESIRE, NOTHING ELSE, just PLAIN old DESIRE will work perfect for our phones. But ANYTHING else, WILL NOT WORK."

What crack are you on?
Yeah Desire is good for porting to HD2 but its by no means the "only" device that will work.

Obviously others work, I am not blind....we are using them.
Im saying
For REAL working files/roms, we need the desire release, I assumed (which I was obviously dumb for) everyone reading it knew I meant the source, what we have ALL been waiting on. Graphical bugs and probably performance issues because of that plus other 'closer' related phone code can be used.
We (the devs - not me) are using patched code/files that are working but will work better once we get the desire release. All I was saying was this is for the desire hd, and we need the desire release. Its known we need that. What the hell do you mean these other work? They do but are not working as WELL as they CAN be. Lets wait for the release then discus. Either way, this should still be close its irrelevant.
EDIT: And YOU didnt even read the thread. If you read who I was reponding to, he knew we were talking about this 'perfecting' our phone with the source, and asked if any other 'source' would work. I responded. Read before accusing next time

....wow, then whats the difference with this one???
Lets play the waiting game....figure it out yet? Nothing...
ITS DESIRE HD!!
Ok, lets try again. Go count how many roms are using this DESIRE HD.
Lots.
Now see how many threads have issues, like graphical problems or broken cameras (for 2 definite)
Lots.
So, please let me know where im lost...because these files he seemed to post up (the OP), are what will 'work'...what we already have...awesome. We are all waiting for the functional code, in the...

Get it? I hope you 'understand' my misinformation

Hey!
Today, I was doing some surfing, and came across the Sense SDK/HTCdev page on the web. It's already been covered on the forums, however I think that there may be a slight hint there as to what the new Gingerbread ROM on the Desire will include:
http://www.htcdev.com/about/
If you look at the Desire in the greyish box down the page, you will clearly see the Sense UI running in the image is the new version that is found on the Gingerbread Sense devices.
This could be one of two things:
1. A little hint as to the features of the Gingerbread ROM
2. A mistake in the Photoshop department
I'm hoping it's number one, but IMHO I think it will turn out to be number two, what with the leaked HTC Asia ROM having the FroYo Sense UI... but anyhow, let's wait and see!
What do you think?
Thanks!
-Cameron
This seems like a photoshop mistake. They just fit in a screenshot of the Sense UI they got laying around and fit it in a press shot of the HTC Desire.
But.. (there's always a but)
It somehow would make sense that they upgraded the Sense version of the Desire to 2.1 (or something similar). In the leaked Asia builds, you could find some features that were only found on Sense 2.1 + every single phone in the Desire "family" is running 2.1.
Also, remember HTC saying that there wasn't enough internal space on the Desire for Gingerbread + Sense? Yeah well, those leaked Asia updates, they had Sense + GB, didn't they? And as far as I know, that ROM was about the same size as a FroYo stock ROM.
My guess is that they were slowly porting Sense 2.1 to the Desire, feature by feature and at some point, someone said "this is going to slow, we're having more issues than planned, this is going to cost us more money and time than we planned", so naturally, HTC pulled the plug, until the community went nuts and screamed rape and fire. Sooo, they're now settling for a dirty solution: ditch some apps from the system partition, which can be found on the market.
What I can't seem to think of is why they wouldn't stick with the regular Sense that we have right now, mixed with GB. It would've been easier and less time consuming.
This is just a sequence of thoughts that I have concerning this update, don't go believing me or telling me that I'm wrong, I'm just thinking out loud, sharing my perspective
Thanks for that. I'm hoping that you're wrong though, because I'd like to get Sense 2.1 without ports but that's me, greedy as always
HTC doesn't do "porting" as many of the dev's here on XDA do, they got the source code so they only need to compile a Sense 2.1 version for the HTC Desire Which was what I meant with porting.
I'm hoping for a Sense 2.1 update as well, since I like Sense 2.1 far more than Sense 3 (based on what I've seen, tried and read) but I'm not getting my hopes up.. Time will tell ^^
No, by ports I meant that the new Desire update wouldn't be ported, so there would be no incompatibilities. Hope thats what you meant just
Hi, i'm also hope that Desire will get sense 2.1, in Poland we sometimes say that "the hope is the mother of the stupid people" after translation of course but maybe this time it will be different ;p
BTW. Official ROM's are theoretically 100% bugfree, but practically may be different or devs are making better functionality ROM

This was discussed weeks ago when the HTC Dev site first came online - I reckon it's a Photoshop personally

right /// hehe dokładnie
@flavio.moringa - it's clear that we will not see sense 3.0 because it's reserved for Sensation / more expensive HTC models or newer models as it provides a logical marketing policy
but 2.1 would be a very positive surprise...
hi all,
just wondering ....
which phone will you be picking up to replace your desire?
the desire has been the ?best? supported android phone during the days of eclair and froyo, then gingerbread (not enough resources to run the phone??? -wrong) and now ICS (i've been running sandvolds ICS beta for a month and it rocks, so smooth but now definately limited by hardware (NFC, no HWA support etc)).
However, times change and no piece of technology can last forever.
Which android phone will take over from the desire in being the next best option? WHich one has the most dev support, which one has the best hardware.
I know thousands of people will be nearing the end of their contract for their Desire. What will you pick up and why?
Well according to this other thread here, there is still no decent replacement for Desire so there.

damn,
you got me.
the desire is the only phone i will use for the rest of my life.
...could be worse i guess

It looks Sony is trying to turn things around with their smartphone lineup this year. But I'm not yet convinced but being a Sony Ericsson fan before I hope they would play it good this time.
I am also thinking my next phone will be the Sony Experia S I have been reading good things about it. Sony also seems to allow the bootloaders to be unlocked with out issue nowadays so hopefully there will be some nice custom ROMs. Just can't decide on the color white or black...

Thread similar to this already started search.................before you post.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Moving to Q&A
As in terms of rom development.
You could take the Desire HD, with the upcoming announcement of ICS coming to that one and the Desire S.
(I would take the Desire HD, when my Desire is up for replacement)
Also by taking several looks at the rom development section of the DHD.
I think it wouldn't be a bad choice to go with.
As in a completely new phone, with hopefully a good rom development, i would wait for the SGS III
