I have a HTC Desire from eMobile in Ireland. We are due to get Android Ver 2.3 ( Gingerbread ) Shortly , will this be a big improvement on what I have ( Froyo 2.2) or should I root my Phone and Install another ROM.
Thanks in anticipation HollyJ9
Who knows. You can wait if you want but there will prob be a really long waiting time unless you flash the RUU that they release, if they release it.
Before doing anything, can you go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post up your current Software version?
Android Ver 2.2 Browser Version WebKit 3.1
There's not too much too gain really, the SenseUI overlay will cover up the most noticeable differences between Gingerbread and Froyo.
There's an improvement in the backend of Android with Gingerbread but it's probably nothing to drastic compared to Froyo.
Thank you very Much

Hi,
I've had my desire for a few weeks now and am loving it. Only problem is that when Google release an update, it takes HTC and then the mobile operators forever to release the update.
Is there a way to do the following:
- install a default android 2.2 ROM; so when an update is issued by Google I can get it...Ive heard the desire is the same as the Nexus one, so can I use the same generic nexus rom?
- install a generic htc rom so that when HTC update their software, i dont have to wait for the my operator to do so.
If i install the nexus rom, can i revert it back to the HTC rom later?
What do you guys recommend?
thanks in advance.
Word of advise for a new poster.
Use the Search button and or look through the threads before you post.
Trust me, it will keep you alive!
No you can not, untill HTC releases there version with Sense
The speed difference between Android 2.2 and Android 2.1 is really hard to notice barr a few apps. It really isn't worth the tradeoff for now, Sense UI is far better than stock Android regardless.
Hi I have rooted my phone and currently running DeFroST 2.7 Rom Android version 2.2, (did this back in early august) I basically would like to know what the current latest update for my HTC Desire is. Is there a newer DeFroST update out there or do i know update to Froyo 2.2? Also would like a pointer in direction of where to download the latest update from.
Thanks Neil.
has anyone got this?
when i check on my fone it says no updates
any info on the change log?
From the HTC website:
HTC said:
Update: Android 2.2 and HTC Sense update.

So, potentially this could be the update to bring Sense in-line with the HD interface? (Just hypothesising, I have no evidence!)
I haven't got this update showing on my phone either. (Yet! ;-) )
EDIT: Just noticed that that info is only on the South-East Asia version of HTC.com, so it could be a local firmware variation (I hope not!).

No new Sense, just stock FroYo update
What software version are you on now?

hi there
whats the differences?if any
im on 2.09.405.8 CL218634 release-keys
You're unbranded so you can't use that anyway. There'd be no differences, though - it's just released later than your one (although there is now 2.10.405.2 and 2.29.405.2)
Did you debrand your Desire or has it always been on that version?
always been like that
i updated to froyo using the update.zip method a few months ago
okay so theres nothing new in this update
Get this one then as well...
http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_HTC_EU_2.10.405.2-2.09.405.8_releaseol2djq7rqarka2ka.zip
It's not that there's nothing new per se, it's just not relevent to your unit - you can only update to x.xx.405.x
I wish there were proper changelogs so we can see a reason to upgrade or not sometimes
Well, 2.29.405.2 has the RIL update to work with the radio I'm guessing. It's a very solid ROM and I'm happy with it at present

htc has stop the OTA for 2.2.1 with build 1.72 because of several issue.
so your desire HD will stuck on that build, until there is a release version of it.
But there are also some other user get the new build 1.83 update recently, but only a few (maybe from selected region only).
but, it you really want the 2.2.1 (or gingerbread 2.3) , you can flash custom rom available here (at Development thread) e.g: Android Revolution HD, LeeDroid or CM7, better than stock rom.
Have just bought Desire HD but found it has been updated to Ice cold sandwich which appears to be buggy and missing items, so want to return to stock, i have two choices Orange or HTC which i have downloaded from HTC support site, presume HTC should be sim free and without orange bloatware.
I am on orange PAYG anyway so either way feasible and not particullarly interested in rooting at this moment in time.
Installed:
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.14-LorDmodUE-9.4.1-ICS-BFS+

lord.20120418.160618 test-leys
IceColdSandwich-7.3.AOKP
CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 1 (v70)

Little bit confused by HTC downloads because both downloaded Orange UK and HTC EU version appear to have the same name and size i.e.ace30-gb-mr-2.6.35-931a37e.tar.gz Type: MR Kernal: 2.6.35 V2.3 88.5MB.
This will be my first time to rewrite a rom so any advise from the experienced on here would be very much apreciated.
Well, if it has ice cold sandwhich it is already rooted. Search the thread, see what you like and flash it. Instructions on how to do it are in the first page of each rom/thread.
Sent from a dream.
As said not really interested in being rooted,advise sought on whether to return to HTC stock or orange stock in view of waiting for official stock ICS
Not interested in rooting? you realise thats a custom ROM so your phone is already rooted... Find a nice stable GB ROM, stock is generally terrible imo, I'd recommend Cyanogenmod 7 or MIUI

If you want something that is stock and will get the fastest updates possible (skip the waiting line for OTA, likely will get a leaked late beta of the official ICS OTA), I'd recommend Android Revolution HD 6.3.3.
If stock is what you want then flash an ruu. 3.12.405
