Hello!
I'm currently running Oxygen's excellent Gingerbread 2.0 RC6 on my Desire. It's been fine, although I notice many of the visual enhancements don't currently work - like screen on/off animation etc. I also get the Oxygen loading screen hang frequently.
Now, I can put up with these things IF there is a way to get the Sense UI onto the device while running Gingerbread... I have no idea if this is even possible or not!
Can someone please advise? Is there a launcher ROM that can be flashed over the top of Gingerbread that will give me the Sense UI goodies while giving me the other benefits of GB? Or am I limited to waiting for a modified Sense-based 2.3 ROM rather than an AOSP one such as Oxygen?
Appreciate you advice and input

I sort of expected that would be the answer...
...but BOO HISS anyways
Thanks for your reply!
Totally agree. I had the updated oxygen ROM and missed some of the sense features. COME ON HTC give us gingerbread with sense 2!!
Get the full version of launcherpro which has sense style Widgets for your homescreens. Then get the sense theme for the launcherbar at the bottom of the screen. Looks exactly the same without having to flash a sense rom.

Will HTC upgrade to Gingerbread on desire?

Yes, probably. There are several threads about that in Desire General section

They said so, but is is reasonable to assume that DesireHD and Desire Z get it first, then we are next.
That however could take a lot of time, I read something about September at the earliest.
Someone correct me please if I'm wrong.
Desire Gingerbread is coming around June time. No specifics as to whether DesireHD and Z get it first but it says they are all on the same schedule as the Incredible S whereas Desire S and Wildfire S will ship with 2.3
source: engadget.com/2011/02/27/htc-incredible-s-desire-hd-desire-z-and-original-desire-will-a/
That could take a while, which is why some of us are installing Gingerbread Roms in the 1st place
Probably will especially if you have to wait for your relevant carrier to tinker with it first. That's why I flashed custom. May go to official HTC rom if/ when this is leaked just depends how slow it is compared to CM 7 unless of course it has sense 2 (crosses fingers)
I'm running CM7 RC1 with Honeycomb Alva v4 theme with ADW EX and I'm loving the look of honeycomb. I hope the brilliant devs that works hard for our free roms can work their magic on the SDK. I wish I could do it, I'm going to start reading up on it nut I never have time so I'd be a cack dev lol. but I must say I'm looking forward to seeing sense on a gingerbread rom!!!

^The same ROM has a Sense port theme using the same method as you installed the Honeycomb theme
It doesn't have the Sense widgets and functionality though, quite obviously.

Hi all,
As the title says, can we expect this ROM on our Desire HD? When it's out offcourse..
Cause the new Sense 3.0 looks really awesome! want to have that
Also, Sense 3.0 is already running on the HTC EVO 3D.. is it possible to make a ROM from that one?
These are just some questions I am curious for, so I can dream about having Sense 3.0 somewhere in the future on my Desire HD
Thanks!
Well HTC said that they were going to change the lockscreen on Sense. I believe that the Sense update will come to the DHD but without some features since the E3D and Sensation are dualcore processors.
And if HTC doesn't make a official update we always got developers ^^
I love the new lockscreen
The *NEW* lockscreen customization feature looks AWESOME !
I guess there are two ways of getting SENSE 3.0 or perhaps some of its features :
1. Either OFFICIAL 2.3 UPDATE would give us some of the 3.0 SENSE features
2. Or we'll get OFFICIAL 2.3 UPDATE which will bring to us some dumb new feature as NEW notification bar & application list ( as we can see in Desire S / Incredible S )
- And then we'll have to wait a few months for getting DHD rooted ; getting SENSE 3.0 PORTED ; bla bla bla

Our update to gingerbread will have Sense 2.1 (as shown in the leaked ROMs), I highly doubt we'll get Sense 3.0 officially for our device.
I hope someone can port it over, I'm not an expert so I don't know if it's possible. I'm guessing we won't as the Sensation is dual core and ours isn't?
ohhh yeah this rom is simply asewome !!!!! hope someone will port it on our DHD
Devs are working on a port from a leaked Sensation Rom! It's just a matter of time I guess! Hope they can fix the difference in screen resolution issue which seem to be the biggest problem so far...
Lockscreen does look very nice! I hope it also fixes my issue of accepting/refusing a cal when I get the DHD out of my pocket...
WAKE UP!!! a port was posted to the DEV section yesterday see here , it might save time and my hair if you check the dev section.
hi everybody, I wondered when we could benefit of one truth Sense 3.0 ( official porting)
They probably wont port it officially. Doesnt make good business sense.
agreed, HTC won't release the Sensation/Kingdom sense 3.0 ROM's under the excuse that the DHD does not have the necessary hardware to support. In reality it's to make sure that we all buy the latest and greatest new handset.
I was running the Kingdom v.0.2 by Capychimp and RCMix and it was excellent, very impressive but still too many issues to be a daily runner for me. Future updates will be excellent I'm sure
also i´m running leedroid current version and 304 kernel with kalagas mixed and running lockscreen, weather, and sms-mms by sense 3.0!
ok , but in the capy's Rom de navi bar is not the same , the icons are more smaller than the original sense3.0 navi bar .. and the resolution is not clean
When can benefit us of one Fully Ported Sense 3.0 on our DHD ?? i mean cause it's still a 2.1 Sense with some modification ..

There are two roms with real sense 3.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079108, this is real sens 3.0 ported from htc kingdom so have fun
Can anyone downgrade Htc One V to android 2.3 with sense 3.6 for full animated Rose effects, or upgrade to Full Sense 4.0 with all animation and effects.
Can anyone (Developer) Port Android 2.3 with Sense 3.6 to HTC One V?

Good question, I was actually wondering the same, while android 4.0 is here working on this phone, I feel sense 4 makes it a bit sluggish....
Stock android 4.0.3 or even stock gingerbread on this phone would be awesome...
That's awesome idea, i would love to see Android 2.3.6 and Sense 3.6 on my ONE V. Maybe i'm just not used to the 4.0 yet

Same!
To me, sense 4 is too....BIG for the lack of a better word
The icons are way to big, as are menus, as is just everything....
Maybe I'm just picky like that though hahaha

Sense 3.6 is 4.0.3 isn't it? 2.3.6 was sense 3.5.

That is correct. I like Sense 3.5 on my old Desire S and I think it's possibble to have custom sense 3.5 running on 4.0.3. that would be awesome to have Sense 3.5+ICS features.
Android 2.3.x with Sense 3.5 is good
I think it is batter to have Android 2.3.x with Sense 3.5 for Htc One V, to perform better then Android 4.0.x, so i hope there is any developer the port it from Desire S or Desire HD
you guys are picky..
sense ui 4 is so beautiful.
all we need is a cm9 build and everyone can install any launcher he wants , make changes to icons, menus, homescreens... everything!

We're not picky, we just want to have more options. For the CM9 fans there should be CM9 ROM and for the Android 2.3/Sense 3.6 there should be ROM too. I strongly feel that the hardwer of HTC One V is designed for Sense 3.6. HTC made a mistake by porting Sense 4.0 to this smartphone in first place because we didn't get the full Sense 4.0 but something similar to "beta" i.e HTC customized the Sense 4.0 specially for the One V which resulted with losing some genuine Sense features like the Leap view.

When asking for stuff, make sure to get your nomenclacture correct
Froyo / eclair (Android 2.1 / 2.2) had "sense", referred to as "old sense" or 1.9
Gingerbread (Android 2.3) had sense 2.1, 3.0 and 3.5 (the latest referred to as "runny" ROMs)
Handsets that shipped with gingerbread, and were then upgraded to ics came with sense 3.6 HTC wanted the same user experience as 3.0 / 3.5 for its "older" handsets
Ice cream sandwhich (Android 4.0 +) sense 3.6 (upgraded gb phones), sense 4.0 lite (One V), and sense 4.0 full
So, NO handsets, as in NONE have gingerbread and sense 3.6......ZERO.
I can understand asking for:
1. Gingerbread / sense 3.5
2. ICS with sense 3.6
3. ICS with a sense 3.6 / 4.0 hybrid (like the old 2.1 /3.0 hybrids)
4. ICS with full sense 4.0
But not gingerbread and sense 3.6........doesn't exist.
I have been running sense since the beginning, literally, the "cube" on the HTC touch, then manilla 2D, 3D, sense as in winmo sense ala HD2, then Android sense. When talking about sense, proof read and make sure your not mixing up the varients and what they can run on. You cannot ask for a "port" for something that doesn't exist.

yes. no sense. if you want sense. stick with sense 4. it is much more optimized than any other older sense, I can tell you that! but if you want a faster phone with no lag, go with stock android with no user interface. install a great launcher like Nova and enjoy android experience how was meant to be!
We do not need Sense... All we need is stock working Android 4 ICS build and cm9.. If someone want to help me port that Rom please pm me.. I do not have the phone yet.

Yes as we need
1. Gingerbread / sense 3.5
4. ICS with full sense 4.0
any one from them, whatever easy to port with full function.
but we like to have full animated Sense as it was i think option 1. Gingerbread with Sense 3.5 as best for HTC One V and compatible with hardware.
I like choice as much as anyone, any "flashaholic" does. The more the better.
There is always the possibility of "rooted stock" that you can add flashable zips to. Examples would be added leap view (available on the desire), rc team tweaks, optimo tweaks etc which offer different animation on / off, different Rosie (that's the name for the sense launcher btw) mods, flashable themes (requires deodexed ROMs), etc.
My so called list was the various sense / android combos that could work on the One V hardware, by no means meant to be definitive. I have not heard of many people wanting to downgrade their version of android though, sense 3.6 is basically sense 3.5 reworked for ICS.
Shubbysomethinorother (sorry Dude!) was a talented dev on the Desire, I have always enjoyed his ROMs. Cpk5 (sorry if I got that one wrong too) is a talented themer. Asking guys like that for ROM extras like flashable zips that may or may not work on a rooted stock ROM is the best, imho way to go for most as it allows you to add the features you want, and ignore the rest. No one ROM will satisfy everyone.
A device with alot of dev support tends to get this, if not, be nice to the devs you have! Politely asking for features, and not demanding etas etc is a good way to start.
Good luck guys, myself I keep visiting this phone at my local store comparing it to my Desire. It's cheap enough off contract to make a nice development toy while waiting for a One S with real storage, or the "two" series!

Just take the plunge. I bought one as a stop gap until the next HTC Nexus device (hopefully released November as per the rumours). Until then, the One V is great. Just needs an AOSP ROM really.
