[Q] Sense 2.1 - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Currently I using a stock rom Froyo 2.2 came with earlier sense, I do have read a review for "wildfire S" it's comming with sense 2.1.
I think for CPU are same as 600MHZ,
- is that possible to upgrade to sense 2.1 ?
- or any custom rom with sense 2.1 ?

Nope.
Both these phones are not that similar as their name suggests. They are completely different. CPU is not just the same . The chipset is different along with gpu support and increase in MHz. And screen resolution is improved to HVGA on wildfire S.
Wildfire S is a lot upgraded version of wildfire.
Newer sense is not possible on wildfire. I don't know what the Wildfire S sense is...

thanks with sadness

Porting it is proving to be tough. You can see the progress so far (and give it a try also, if you wish) here:

[Q] Old Desire with HD support

Hi all,
I have a rooted HTC Desire, with DeFrost ROM installed.
1. I wanna ask about, is that true if an Official Froyo for Desire HD/Z can be installed for old Desire too?
2. I was wondering, why Desire Z have a better performance rather than old Desire? Even those Desire Z have a low end spec rather than Desire?
3. Can old Desire supporting HD movie/games? like Desire Z/HD?
Thanks a lot for the answer..
It's lower in terms of processor speed but the processors are next generation to the original Desire so perform the same at a lower frequency.
Put the HD ROM onto your Desire and see how you like it - it's very good

Hoo..
Where can i get the HD ROM? Do you mean any Costum ROM from Sub: Desire HD?
Use the search function
I don't think you can use any rom that was made for the Desire HD/Z on your desire because of the different kernel, the different screen size and other factors.
Just use one of the 3 HD ROMs currently up in the Dev forum, I'm using RCMixHD now and its awesome

What about battery life?
Normal like normal rom of Desire?
Or it uses much more energy?
I find it the same as stock 2.29.405.2 with my normal usage

Sense 2.1 for Desire is possible

And you know why? Because Wildfire S has the same size of ROM as our Desire and it's running Sense 2.1 just fine. It will be probably stripped down, but still better this than nothing.
what about sense 3.0
hopefully you are right! when you mean stripped down what features are missing from the wildfire s that are normally in the ROM?
3.0 won't work as the graphics will take for ever to run properly on the Desire
I am happy with Sense 2.1
It's already possible to use sense 2.1 for our Desire. The Roms aren't stable and basicly features like the camera doesn't work at the moment.
Look at these Roms:
[ROM][Ginger Sense][04 Apr]RCMix S v06 A2SD/DATA++, long sms works, TV animation!
[ROM][Ginger Sense][2 April]Cool DesireS v1 A2sd+ 1.28.401.1 Base
Oh, thank you for informing us, Captain Obvious!
Ours version is 1.0 (at least mine is so) and I m contented to 2.1 which is available on DHD, DS and incredible-S now, hope it comes with gingerbread soon.

i''m not developer and haven''t used HTC Sensation as it just came out, but is it not possible to port Sense 3.0 due to Sensation being dual-core? or will the interface be hardware accelerated? what do you think?
HTC Sense 3.0 will only support Sensation, EVO 3D, Flyer and newer devices; older hardware left behind - From Engadget
I thought I heard that Sense 2.1 with Gingerbread was coming out for the Desire soonish...

its sense 2.1 and camera should work as its a Bravo ROM.

There is a leaked Bravo (Desire) ROM already in the DEV section. Hopefully working ROMs (rooted, data++, etc.) will be up tomorrow
Tomorrow is not acceptable! We need them today!
Hahaha Actually there is a lot of time till 23:59
Actually i'm much more excited about the new drivers coming from the official release: hopefully we'll get some performance buff, especially for our poor gpu

New ics rom with sense 3.6

If this developer pulls this rom off our desires will be up there with the big guns....still!
Looks like that thread got deleted from the dev section
Why would you want sense with ICS?
I used to love sense as it was an improvement over froyo and gingerbread apart from being ugly they were lacking some functions which sense added.
ICS even in its various beta incarnations is better than any of the sense roms (in my opinion) that I have tried.

I also don't like Sense, but the announced today entry-level HTC One V has almost identical parameters as our old desire and will be running ICS 4.0.3 + Sense 3.6.
Probably the port would be possible after applying the proper kernel modules for QSD8250.
The other phones from the HTC One series will run Sense 4.0, which I doubt will run smoothly on the old Desire's hardware.

Is it not more like the Desire S? 4GB ROM instead of 512MB - but I bet the CPU/Graphics etc. are far different than we have now
I think ICS looks much better without any HTC Sense.
The internal storage is already a resolved issue using a good SD card.
About the CPU/Graphics I believe it will be the 2nd generation Snapdragon + Adreno 205 combination, which is not a lot different.
It's perfect option to sell the last of them. Same as they do with the Legend and Wildfire 2 years ago.
Don't forget also that we got 64 Mb more RAM and probably most of us better IMHO AMOLED display

well, on paper this statement shouldn't be entirely correct. htc got rid of the 3d widgets when you scroll between home screens in sense 4.0 but kept the 3-dimensional workspace, so that should give us some plenty of more performance. if you had a sense 3.0/3.5 rom and had disabled the 3d widgets you'd see the BIG improvement in performance i am talking about...and in my opinion that's because of the comaparitively weak adreno 200 performance compared to the new phone gpus...
i think MIUI interfase most better then any sense
No sense please
When the Desire came out, Sense had a lot of cool functions that left stocking in the dust. Cool widgets, good dialer, good alarm and good integration with fb/twitter. Now all of these things are in stock ICS or available through lightweight apps from the market. Once you have tried the speed of stock builds, I just don't see how you could ever go back to sense.

Disagree ICS without sense appears a little bland I think.
I like ICS simplified interface. Tired of Sense's gimmicks. I think that I never install Sense rom again, even if it will be miraculously released official update.

If you compare Sense with plain ICS in a Sense thread, you should allow to compare it to MIUI too. I like the look of MIUI too (especially the new v4)!

Your thoughts on The HTC One V RUU ported to the HTC Desire?

Since HTC have revealed the HTC One V for Q2 of this year. Do you reckon some devs will be able to port the RUU over to the HTC Desire?
If you don't know what it is; it can be found here: http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...bile-phones/hands-on-htc-one-v-review-1066217
It states it has a single core 1Ghz CPU and sense 4.0 on top of ICS. Do you think this could be run smoothly on our two year old Desire's once HWA is fully fixed?

a) even if it has 1GHz single core cpu, it for sure is not one from 2008
b) Sense 3.5 doesn't work smoothly, so mine (possibly broken) logic says that it probably won't.
c) I for one couldn't care less if it gets ported or not. I know that software version is one part of the coin, where no number of updates will change the fact what Desire fundamentally is - a two year old with archaic architecture.

I doubt it'll get fixed.
As above, even though its a 1ghz processor, the desires technology is now outdated. Its possible we may get some sense 4.0 with ICS but who knows.
Will just have to wait and see what we get
If hwa is delt with I'm sure we might get sense 4.0 but won't let my hopes go up just yet. Although One V has a newer cpu/gpu so do Sensation/Evo3D/Amaze which run sense 3.0/5 (custom) much like I run it on my desire. There's not that much multitasking in comparison but it's running stable and very, very fast. Comparable to the best sense 1/2.0 roms out here. And it seems that sense 4.0 is lighter on ram since V has just 512mb compared with desires 576. My 2c.

Well, there's "smooth" and and there's "sense 3.5 smooth". I've tried most 3.0+ roms but I don't think that people here truly understand what smooth is. I was one of those people. Then I tried oxygen (Mildwild's version to be precise) and it utterly ruined sense for me. I just can't go back.
Although I do miss sense from time to time
Wasn't talking about aosp, miui or cm7. Imho, sense will never be as fast. But that's not the topic of this thread anyway.
-. typewrited .-
I thought AceS 3D port of Sense 3.0 was smooth - but then I went to ICS 0.3.x beta's and was amazed how quick and responsive it was even as a beta.
I do like Sense a lot- especially the camera and people apps but it's days are numbered where ICS is concerned... still wouldn't want to go to stock Gingerbread to be honest but it's probably heaps smoother still
AceS smooth?
It was very, very slow and huge in ram.
I wasn't able to open tweet deck when playing music!

If aosp roms I've only tried mildwild and my current sense rom is at least as fast, if not faster... Not bragging or something. It's an objective opinion. I was really disappointed, since everyone here seems to think otherwise.
One V uses a S2 CPU. The Desire has a S1.
Although, interestingly, the V has slightly less RAM than the Desire.
If ROMs get ported, I don't think there will be RAM issues, but there will be a lot of lag issues etc.

FTFY
ICS is the best thing that happened to android
Htc said that Sense 4 is lighter than 3.5 + we have One V with 512 Ram so i think it's possible to port and to work smoothly.
"From the original Sense up to Sense 3.5 we added too many things. The original concept was that it had to be simple and it had to be easy to use and we had that philosophy, but over time it got cluttered," Kodera said.

Could not agree more.
I'm all up for this an am infact waiting for this to be ported over to the desire. This new Sense sounds like it'll be less on an issue to run on our devices than Sense 3 and 3.5. Plus I'm looking forward to Android 4 on a Sense phone.
Hopefully this starts happening soon!

Porting roms

I want to know if any dev is interested in porting the desire c Rom to our g2. It is quite evident that roms ported from phones with similar HW specs work just fine. A few devs have ported the one v's rom which still has a few problems. Looking at the desire c it has an underclocked cpu @ 600mhz and andreno 200, so a good port will make it smooth for the g2 to handle
So lets say this will be a small place to share ideas on how to make this possible, am not a noob and also not an master at this. So i want to know how to start doing this any help??? Time to set full sense 4.0 not 4.0a
