Hi, im a rookie on Android phones, just dumped my Xperia and now im playing w. desire.
From what i've read, the 2.6.32 kernel is close to perfect and i've seen and tried a couple of roms with that kernel, all seems to be working good, but since i like shiny things i gotta ask. HTC Sense and all that comes w/ that, do not work on froyo yet? or is there any other reason why cookers leave it out from their custom roms ? I tried to put the htc packages in the defrost 7d rom but could not flash it.. so errors where in the output (thou i'm certanly not the most gifted cooker )
Is there anyway I / we can have a Froyo rom + HTC goodies ?
Yes, there is. Wait until HTC will release its own Froyo build

Yes - when HTC release their Froyo update with Sense!
Sense is not just a launcher and makes some fairly deep changes in the Android frameworks. Without those changes, Sense won't work, and these do not exist in base Froyo.

Dave
thanks for the answers, ok so I'll have to wait till htc decides to update their phone, xmas 2010 i probably have a foryo with sense

The rumours say 23rd of june....
HTC announced that they would release Froyo with Sense UI for Desire by end of June. So let's keep our fingers crossed that they hold true to their word.
N.B. We will probably have to re-flash with custom ROM anyway after that to have proper A2SD.
From what I understand Froyo requires dev consent in order to move apps to SD. Am looking forward to see our XDA magicians do their magic to take this stupid requirement off.

HTC didn't announced anything of the sort I'm afraid.
Someone claimed that a CS rep said that a ROM update was coming June 23rd, but that's hardly an announcment.

I heard a friend of a friend of my friend got his just today
Actually I heard the guy who posted that date originally got the info from a HTC support-hotline guy that gave away this secret information after he buggered him for a while. Who has top secret reliable information if not some poor lad at the HTC hotline trying to get rid of annoying customer that keeps him from ordering the next pizza Those top of the food chain guys always get the hottest news first.
And as far as I know hotline people are the most honorable members of our society and never lie or make uninformed statements That's what I heard

I expect this will have official 720P support to rival the iPhone. Probably DivX as well because they need something to trump the iPhone.

HTC is working on it. Sense is closed-source, so there's nothing the community can do to port it.
The Nexus One is the only device that has an 'official' release of Froyo, and no device has Froyo and Sense... who is "everybody else"?

Yeah I like the know it all response but he obviously isn't as smart as he thought or hasn't been paying attention. I only opened this thread because I couldn't believe no one else hadn't mention it already. I've been following this for days.
I hear bluetooth does not work and there are graphical glitches.
Is it worth porting now?
I would wait till those 2 are fixed first.
This won't be hard to port to the Dinc. At all. Should be only a matter of time.

Sorry, I hadn't seen the thread that michaelnhf linked. Without it, the original post looked like just another "I wantz teh Froyo 'n Sense, when will that b out?" post, which I'm sure we're all sick of seeing.
I'll Google around before posting next time, since I obviously don't know everything
I'm actually surprised people aren't porting more of the desire roms and themes over. I've been to their forums they've got some quality stuff over there. The desire and inc are basically the same phone.. I'm no dev but sheesh where are the roms?! Like real roms not " I removed sense apps and widgets roms." Koush seems to be busy with other things too I hope things pick up soon.
Yea looks like we might have picked the wrong phone for custom roms and such haha

Mmmhmm...Humble pie.
Love the HTC Incredible but I'm leaning towards absolutely hating the Sense UI, excluding the clock/weather widget.
I cannot find a single mobile data widget that *works* other than the HTC one that ships with the phone. That is the only reason I'm using sense...although I don't 'dislike' it.
I can get FroYo and Sense to boot on my phone, but that is the easy part. None of the touch keys work and it reboot randomly. It also says that I have no signal, but I can browse the web.
I do like the new widgets.
What are the new widgets?
The two widgets that caught my eye was the new Mail widget. It looks more like our current calander widget. There is also a FM radio widget. Of course, there is also that News widget that some people love.

It looks as if the OTA update for Sense 2.3 has started to come through. I'm in the process of asking the one who got it to dump the ROM.
It's not Gingerbread, it's the 2.29.xxx.x version that started to roll out yesterday for many users.

Oh Sorry my BAD well I am waiting for CM Team and AdamG that soon gingerbread AOSP Rom will be in our hand.
AdamG promises that he's waiting for gingerbread as soon as it's out he's gonna update Oxygen 1.0 to Gingerbread platform for us that's why he kept it so much minimal.
Similarly CM team we know their abilities and Cyanogen and Kali they are truly the most brilliant ones and blessed one. I know soon very soon we will be enjoying gingerbread on our desire as Nexus one will get it very 1st and our Desire is closest brother to Nexus One
Gingerbread on the Desire, in same day as Nexus????
Hard to believe.

Stop being so smug and just read the damn link.
Very unlikely that it is gingerbread.
Oke this is getting sad, he admits his update is 28mb. There is no way that gingerbread is so small, second, like mentioned before in this thread, there is a HTC update 2.29.405.2 which happened to roll out around this time and is also 28mb, third the desire is a sense phone and it would be extremely unusual for HTC to release a senseless update for it.
It was fun while it lasted, but it will be a while before we see gingerbread on the desire officially.
i'm getting too.

It's not about being smug, it's about using common sense.
How many people do you think are on here with a WWE unbranded Desire? There's 100's.
What do you see?
People posting about receiving notification of the 2.29 OTA - Yes
or
People posting about receiving notification of the Gingerbread OTA - No
So either his guy is the third coming of Jesus and HTC has only decided to push Gingerbread to his phone or he's either confused and/or talking a load of crap.

HTC Confirms 2.3 Desire Plans​
Bit of a news flash here, sorry if it's in the wrong section but this is more of an anser to an un-asked question, y'get me?
Anyway, HTC confirmed yesterday that they WILL be updating the current Desire range upto 2.3. This includes the Desire, the Z and the HD. Hope this helps with the concerns that HTC were ditching the Desire for the Desire S.
For the rest of the information, check out this page.
The link goes to CNET
*It's likely that rather than being 2.3, the Desire will be getting 2.4, which is the latest release from Google. This is no different from 2.3 but contains some very minor bugfixes.
Nice! A bit long to wait though.
Thanks for the info!
wow thanx for the great news! made my day
i hope its worth waiting
when we will get it?

no problem, I was randomly searching the Internet for any articles that could shed any light on the current Desire situation we are all going through, and I just happened to find that neat post that was only put on there today. Alas the Desire lives on, I guess with it being so popular HTC decided to make it, however I'm not expert but from a Market view of things, I seriously doubt Honeycomb will be coming to the Desire range, as none boast dual processors and with the update coming so late, it would be a large Market downside for HTC, why develop Honeycomb for a device that's waited 6 months for a 2.4 update... Anyway I'm just glad that within my first few days of being at XDA that I have been able to help people with the Desire information, I know I only sourced it, but this stops a lot of peoples worries, and it looks promising that we WILL be getting the new sense time for a beer I think xD
We re starting to feel just like the Xperia X10 users and their updates it all goes according to HTC's plan. Nevertheless its good to know we'll be getting the new sense and and Android.

I think that the reaosn why it's taking so long really lies with Google. If they hadn't of had the 2.3 exclusivity with the Nexus S, then the chances are we would have our update much quicker. However HTC should be concentrating on Software just as much as new Products. Existing customers are just as important as potentially new Customers, and at the moment it looks like they are focusing their business on creating new products, and not updating the current ones. Not a good business plan at all.
with the way that our providers play about with it , as stated in the article it will be xmas before its out
I won't look forward to the update because waiting for updates ALWAYS dissappointed me in the past...

That's one of the benefits of De-branding. My HTC Desire came branded with the Orange software (which left me with 100MB of free space) I de-braded, updated to Froyo 2.2 and had something like 143MB of free space left, and whenever HTC release an update I immidiatley recieve it. My HTC has Orange logo's on it and everything, but it's de-branded.

It's not the 2.4 update we can't wait for, its the new Sense, well in my case it is anyway. 2.3/4 isn't a very good update? It's a few icons and support for some other Hardware, Honeycomb should be interesting.

hey guys seems like HTC is keeping the spirit up and giving the Desire a gingerbread OTA update by the end of june
not that our devs haven't already got gingerbread on it but like this we will have HTC sense the right way it's supposed to
check one of engadget's latest posts ull see
Ding ding ding.
Number 6, enjoy your short moment of fame.
Remember you have to share it with a increasing group of people who post stuff that has been posed before.
Search for a post next time instead of creating a post that has already been created about 10 times already. Seriously, no wonder why coutts left this forum. Full of idiots.
Yeah, but you could have said this in a much friendly way...
That was nice. No but seriously, I was in a **** mood and seriously, people should read more. Personally, I go through the forums and search to find stuff and I read an awful lot of posts (quite sad to be honest). It just gets on my nerves sometimes.
Been on Oxygen for a few weeks and frankly exchanging Sense for 300MB of onboard (not SD) app space is worth the loss of Sense. Using dialer1 and handcent and a bundle of other neat apps is great. Also have double the battery life that I had either 2.2 Stock Sense
oursoul, why do you insist on posting that very same line/paragraph/sales pitch on every single new thread that is popping up regarding the *ahem* "latest" news of Gingerbread OTA.
Bumping up your post count?
Did you find a replacement to take the "Notes" info from gmail contacts and link them all together which sense does? Thats the only reason in holding on TBH
It`s been official now, I`am reading on some site.
I prefer the Sense Dialer so dont like any of the current stock ROMs, so will wait patiently for the OTA.
Any better similar ones, that has contacts pics and facebook integration?
did anyone hear the leaked android 2.3.2 Galaxy S release?
I'll be disappointed if the Galaxy S gets a gingerbread update before the Desire... HTC will be slipping if that happens!
You know the drill mate.. the update will roll out.. it will be filled with bugs.. rants all over the place about how Sammy manages to make ****ty firmwares and then out of nowhere HTC will pop the update for us making the Desire again the first non developer device that gets the newest Android itteration
Or something along those lines.. I hope..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
what will be funny is that by time June/July has come and we our 2.3 update, there is no doubt 2.5 (2.6) will have been announced and we'll all want that version instead.
Hopefully we'll atleast get the updated Sense with the update.
if Samsung roll out 2.3.2 then I hope HTC roll out 2.3.3 at least
also I would like them to fix the htc mail client too so it works with hotmail eas...
It's going to be annoying in 2.3 that you can't link Google contacts with Facebook ones, that was one of the things I missed when using Gingerbread ROMS. Looking forward to going back to an official ROM though whenever it's released.
I've been using the DevNull Rom, which is supposed to be a stock Android Rom, since yesterday.
HTC Sense is definitely more user friendly and intuitive....... has a lot more features too.
However, I find it to be quite unstable and kills the battery pretty quickly, and let's not forget the stupid apps like stock and peep.
Coming from HTC Sense, stock Android takes a while to get used to but I'm glad I made the switch 'cause my phone is a lot more stable now and the battery life has improved considerably.

@Erklat: what aosp bugs are you talking about? I'm thinking about flashing oxygen because it is said to be bugfree.
I am almost certain that HTC's Desire gingerbread Rom will use the old sense version. Nandspace is simply too small. HD -ROMs only work because of high use of A2SD and HTC can't use that on official ROMs.
