these are few question which non rooted HTC Desire owner think so plz
be patients and help me and other friends on this Forum
It looks like HTC is preventing us to update our phones the official way. I was so exited about Desire getting the 2.3 version...
They sad that the phone doesn't have enough memory to run the latest version of the OS smoothly. In other words, Gingerbread can work on Desire, but just not smooth enough. Personally, I don't mind that. They could just add a small notice before the update which says that it is not recommended to run the update due lack of phone memory or something similar...
it can run but they dropped us , look at wildfire s
i know not same phone but same rom
cn runs on 2.3 and no slow downs
i hate my desire now ehhehe

1) To get your phone rooted, go to unrevoked and download the flash utility. Also install their USB drivers as well. A lot of people miss that out.
2) Go read all of that tutorial you linked. It will help you, and anyone for that matter, understand what is rooting and flashing and all that good stuff.
3) Here is a complete list of all the roms available for the Desire.

Depends if you are branded or unbranded
if you are unbranded then you can root with unrevoked and flash away
if you are branded with an o2/vodafone/orange etc. handset then you'll need a gold card

You'll need to s-off for that with alpharev.nl - its in the video tutorial you linked at the start
you'll probably want unrevoked 3.21 - i found the latest version when I rooted didn't work

oh and check out the index for the roms with is posted by Meaple which will help figure out what is sense 1.9/2.1/2.1+3.0

Better to learn how to use custom ROMs!
I think it about HTC Marketing strategy First they created hype of giving
2.3.3 to HTC Desire so that their remaining HTC Desire handsets will sell
now all the handsets are sealed now they reveal the Truth.
HTC think customers are fools that they are giving reason of NOT ENOUGH MEMORY
i ask them why dont you shed some extra features of Sense 2.1 or 3 and then port
2.3.3 at least we get the Base of 2.3.3
now the truth is all those handset with front facing camera will get 2.4 or 2.3.4 whatever it is coz
only that rom will allow you to make video calling offically on Android.
Now for compensation from HTC we want WP7 rom on our HTC Desire hehe
what the hell is this now

HTC announced the wildfire S today which has close specs to the Hero. It has gingerbread sense ui and has a 600 MHz processor and a 3.2 inch screen. So I'd it possible we can port a rom of it to the Hero?
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
Just FYI, 600 MHz on one phone is not the same as 600 MHz on another phone. The CPU in the phone you speak of is at least one generation newer than what we have. Read here for more details

Basically it will probably be very difficult to port. nfinitefx and others tried very hard to get a stable port of the original Wildfire, and that was hard enough.
Possible on Wildfire not s?

Well i don't agree that it can not be ported to our wildfires.the kernel can be modified with the right drivers for our wildfires when i will have time and the sources will be available i will work on it.but the worst part would be the resolution i think.
I think that the best phones for porting Wildfire S ROM-s are Legend and Aria (Gratia) because both phones have more/less the same hardware specifications

More likely that devices they update will have the unlocked loader, not old devices..Why would they bother? Too much hard work! No profit from doing it! Much the same as there usual update methods (2 updates is enough for the consumer)

ROM Capacity
Hi all,
Please , can somebody tell me if he has a more information about Android and especially Widfire S. I just be a proud new member to Android operation system change from Windows mobile . On specification Wildfire S has a 512MB ROM and 512MB RAM. So the question is , why after reinstalling Android OS( Hard Reset ) from this 512MB i had only 124MB free space for installation program.
What should I do to increase ROM free space.
Thank you in advance.
Because that has to include the base ROM and all of the applications that it's running. HTC sense takes up a lot of space.
best to unlock, root and tear out a bunch of that bloat.

I've been trying to get info from HTC about a possible update, at least to 2.3.5 but the guys at tech support are too vague and didn't even reply to bug reports I sent them. I have the latest European RUU and it has some problems with force closes after installing apps from Market, gave the guys all my phone info, yet still they don't know if there are plans to upgrade the phone.
However they promise that they'll let me know as soon as they know something and also say that they want to guarantee the best possible user experience.
I guess ICS 2.4 would be perfect. Now that it's officially released I suggest HTC to Get on their Boots (like U2 would say lol).
The WFS has enough hardware to run ICS so what are they waiting for?
I've had so many phones from HTC and even QTek (former HTC) that I expect some level of commitment on their part.
Sorry for the long post. Needed to uncompress my thoughts... ;-)
ICS is currently Android 4.1 not Android 2.4. But yes WFS can run gingerbread and so can run ICS also.
I'm now the proud owner of a wildfire s with .9gb (yes 900mb) of system memory after install. The new roms are kicking!

Yes that is the right guide to do a perm Root. Also what rom version is the Desire Z on? If it's on the 1.72 or 1.82 you will have to downgrade to 1.34 before you can root.

If your on 1.72 or 1.82 DOWNGRADE USING THIS GUIDE.This downgrade will work for the 1.82 version, even though its for the 1.72

For me stability is important, so is minimizing the number of times I have to wipe my device. So I avoid pre-release ROMs including RC's so I'm running the stock rooted ROM right now but anticipate moving to CM7 as soon as it's released and verified as stable.
hi guys i am a new one and my english not very good, sorry
i need help
i bought an htc wildfire s in last week
i dont want to use htc sense, i want to use normal android
can i install a rom which include only android 2.3.4? would it work stable?
if the answer is no, how i abrogate sense ui when i am using default rom?
i tried a method (it's for wildfire, not s);
'clearing htc sense's defaults in settings menu and pressing home'
but it's not working for wildfire s
thanks for your help
It's possible, first though you need to have your phone rooted, I assume you still have S-on so you would need to use the XTC clip. Then install a ROM without Sense, at the moment there is none, but hopefully Cyanogenmod will be ported over to the Wildfire S.

Hy all.
I just got a Htc desire hd yesterday with stock android 2.3.3 and i dont know a thing about rooting and hacking android(i had an iPhone 3gs before).So i would like to know how can i get the Sense 3.0 (like the one from htc sensations) on my htc? please someone explain this in a simple way,for dummies like me.
Please if someone want to help me.
Thanks.
Search this forum.. There are numerous guides on how to Root your DHD..
hy thanks
but i need to know the steps .... i dont know anything about this kind of stuff...
Hi,
welcome to XDA! You're generally better off asking questions on the Desire HD Q&A thread.
A stock (as in made by HTC) Sense 3.0 rom isn't available yet (if at all) but there are a few custom roms that dedicated teams have made.
Here's what I did to get 3.0 on my DHD - please note that all these steps may not be necessary but they're just what I did. Also I'm pretty sure they'll void your warranty as I think you'll need to root your phone to get a custom rom on there.
Firstly, read up on this stuff as ignorance = bricked device!
I started by looking at the sticky'd threads over on the Desire HD Development forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=765
specifically M_T_M's roll up thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214
which should contain all the info you'll need to back up, downgrade, root, s-off/eng s-off, flash clockwork recovery, wipe and install a sense 3.0 ROM.
I think you'll probably need to downgrade your phone from 2.3.3 to 1.32.405.6 (I could be wrong, but I don't think you can root 2.3.3 - I'm sure if I'm wrong someone in the know will correct me).
This guide seems to cover downgrading -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
then this guide is great for flashing a ROM etc -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
I'd recommend Virtuous Unity for a 3.0 Sense rom, but there are others out there.
Hope that helps
Good luck!

No problem, I know it can be hard if you don't know where to start.
1) Yup, it will erase the content on your phone, but shouldn't erase your SD card.
You can back your contacts up to the SD card through the People application:
people-> menu -> import/export -> export to SD card -> choose account to export.
this will save them as a .vcf file in the root of your SD card, you then reverse the process once you have your new ROM installed.
I think the most popular application to use to back-up your apps is Titanium backup (available from the market), however I think this needs root permissions, so you'll likely not be able to use it (if my previous assumption about not being able to root 2.3.3 is correct). I use a different app called Appmonster which I find better for restoring market links (personal opinion), and I don't think this needs root.
I think it's possible to back up your settings using the above apps, however I'm sure I read that it's not recommended, especially when moving to a sense 3.0 ROM.
Your photos and videos should already be on your SD card, however it might be worth using the (PC) sync software to sync them onto your pc first just in case.
I'm pretty sure you will like your 3.0 ROM, I love the one I'm using. however there are other threads that detail how to restore your phone to stock, I'm sure it's more complex than this (I've not tried it) but I would assume you just flash back a stock ROM. If your handset is network branded you could re-flash either the stock network ROM or a stock HTC ROM - I'd definitely read up on this before attempting it though.
Good luck!
cheers,
Grim

THIS IS NOT TRUE, the desire HD will NOT receive Sense 3.0 a good example of this...http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/14/htc-sense-3-0-will-only-support-sensation-evo-3d-flyer-and-new/
Not officially at least, XDA is full of partial sense 3.0 ROMS, and I'm sure will be quickly growing with more and more full sense 3.0 ROMS
htc does however, state, they may try to work in a few htc sense 3.0 components into some of the other devices.
Thanks button is aways appreciated!

I lost it on bus. I might get a new One S(S4) later or save more money to get HTC M4. I can't decide it at right now, I will stick with One V for 3 ~ 6 months but I won't sell it out, will transfer it to my parents probably.
Well, for the price of One V the camera indeed is excellent. The mainly problem is HTC only provides the most optimized camera drivers for One X/S because they are flagship models. The sense4.1 + 4.0.4(ViperRom) on my One S got noticeably better image quality over my One V with sense4.1 + 4.0.4(mySENSE-v RC3.5) ported from Desire X+One SV. I guess the drivers in Desire X+SV worse than One X/S.

Forget to mention, I think port JB from Desire X to One V is still possible. I remember when I had One S, people can be flashed the sense JB even they are with the very old hboot. But we'll need some guys to test it and it may brick the phone.... lol

No. At that time(2012 Dec), One S didn't has S-OFF yet. It got S-OFF only at around Feb.
I just checked the Desire X board, they said with old hboot(ICS) have no problem to flash sense JB but there need to use some special ways.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249760
check #3
Part 3 - Installing boot.img and booting your DX
7. Open the ICShboot_Toolkit folder and run the Install Boot.img.bat
Just ignore what is written in the CMD as the boot.img is actually is installed to the recovery partition as the ICS boot partition is too small to be written with JB boot.img
8. Press Power once to go to hboot and select Recovery to boot your device
9. Enjoy your newly flashed JB ROM on ICS hboot
All in all, we will loss TWRP(can't mount, install stuffs and backup/restore) because recovery partition is used for JB boot partition now(we'll also need to choose recovery to boot the phone everytime) and there is a bug in JB since it doesn't mount the sdcard with this way installed but we can install multi-mount SD card app on PlayStore to fix this problem. Later time, if you want to go to TWRP again(for example, do a rom backup) you'll need to fastboot flash recovery twrp.img via fastboot and after do the backup, flash this ICShboot_Toolkit on recovery again.
So, now all we need to do is wait ckpv5 to port Desire X JB for us. Can't wait to get the full power of camera again.
Ckpv5 will port only if he wants to, so, good if he will but no one go ask him, he is already busy with my one v and my sense.
also i think if it was possible he would have at least told us. Probably desire X has something we dont have..
