don't u think that's a little bit "VERY LATE" news?

It is kinda late and the new Android version will come on the Nexus One first. The HTC Desire needs to wait till next year when it will come tougher with sense 2.0.

I was under impression gingerbread was gettibg rid of sense and other such nasties. So desire owners will have to wait for gingerbread. Surely developers can port nexus obe rom to desire once its released?

The desire had Froyo way before HTC released it 'officially' with Sense UI. We should get Gingerbread as soon as the source is released.

sense roms update is allways delayed by google/htc, thats why nexus one will get update immidiately and desire will get it later.
any way hope we will get gingerbird as soon as it is released.

i give it a week before one of you gifted nerd bastards bless us with gingerbread
i shall donate immediately.

Now I like the sound of this already!

well. no one know how gingerbread will look. froyo changed how android look and so will gingerbread.

Hearing the Gingerbread name makes me feel tasty. and it sounded very delicious rom to cook by the devs.

I hope we can have Gingerbread before Christmas...lol!

Gingerbread OTA coming soon (Nexus One)

The Gingerbread OTA for Nexus One will happen in the coming weeks. Just hang tight!

I wonder if that will help us get closer to having a good working version of either Gingerbread ROM for Desire, or the OTA itself...

We already have them. Running it now.

Indeed, the Oxygen version of GingerBread for Desire works great!

The thread for the Oxygen Gingerbread is HUGE! Too long to read the whole thing. Are there any known issues with it--does everything (wifi, video recording) work now?

Dont hold your breath for a sence gingerbread rom soon tho, until htc release a gingerbread rom, we have no source code

Hardly, tried it and there really is no noticeable difference, well not that you would notice for day to day use.

Have to argue, have you tried aosp based Roms like oxygen? brilliant compared to sense, and if you don't like the look? Theme it, use launcher pro and do whatever else you wanna do
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Edit: each man to his own of course, but I love the speed over the slight extra functionality of sense

But is there going to be a real version of Gingerbread for the HTC Desire?
I'm assuming they'll stop eventually.

Almost everything works, just a few minor bugs, the most oustanding (imho) being network location based applications and gps navigators not working.

no way of porting 2.2's Sense to 2.3 then?
although as we know everyone wants the new sense 2.0 anyway

Yeah the advances off the HD rom but with the new keyboard and they make the Desire a payphone......

another article on it here: http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...tting-android-2-3-in-the-coming-weeks--916992
doesnt say anything new though

HTC Wildfire S

They are releasing a new Willdfire S (which is quite a lot like the Legend) with Gingerbread!
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/15/htc-refreshes-android-lineup-with-incredible-s-desire-s-and-wil/

Wildfire s
Anyone notice that the new wildfire s bears nearly identical specs to our precious aria? Hopefully this means we'll see yet one more unofficial sense based Rom but this time with gingerbread.

Yeah, lets hope it will be possible to port this ROM to our phones!

Let's just hope they share the same drivers. I can't wait untill the Wildfire S release. Did anyone else find the 2011 lineup from HTC very dissapointing?

I agree with the (slightly) disappointing line up. On the otherhand they are all nice devices and I would pick one anyday over a Samsung or LG. Some dual core android HTC shift-esque action with honeycomb would be definitely be welcome though.

Fcuk Wildfire Does HTC Salsa remind you something ?

Although that facebook buttons spoils everything for me
Still, it will be interesting to see if sense 2.0 will be possible to be ported and run on Legend with reasonable performance (Wildfire and Salsa have 512 of RAM - I think, this might make a difference).
ps. Sorry about the links - new user - no privileges to post links yet :/
cheers,
B.

Personally, I'm a little disappointed with HTC's offerings. And while I love my Aria, I think my next phone will be an Atrix. I love Cyanogen, so finegrs crossed it gets some love from the devs!

FACEBOOK button!?!?! When the hell did a freakin website get privileged enough to get a damn dedicated button on a cell phone??

judging by its similar specs to our legend, i'm very sure our talented chef will ported to our phones very soon. besides, gingerbread is already available to us through cyanogenmod7. fingers crossed and waiting for it. =)

But where can I find tools to port the Facebook button?...

...Really?? How is facebook as influential as Google? I know it's popular but it's nothing special by any means. Google at least makes Android, all Facebook does is constantly change their garbage website for the worse.
The fact that Facebook got so integrated with todays society somehow really only gives me more doubts for humanity.

Wait... I did't see any FB button on wildfire s. I sow it only on salsa and chacha...

It will be hard to port gingerbread from wildfire s to legend... because the wildfire s has a better and faster processor... a next-gen processor...

No it doesn't

It all depends. If it has at least arm v7 instructions, then yes. If not, then there's flash lite.

If u mean about the official updates, that is possible, as gingerbread should be the final android version that htc gave us..maybe some minor security fix later eventually..but we will still have cm and miui that will give us the latest android version available of course

Well minor GB updates should be possible. I mean, it's not like complete overhaul like 2.2 -> 2.3 was.

i don't know about minor updates..because they didn't release the ota for all user (and they will not do that in future), its only an ruu for devs..

I doubt any updates will come our way. That would really be too much to ask. I think that Desire will be discontinued soon enough anyway.

When i wanted to buy my Desire, Vodafone Romania was out of stock. When asked when will a new shipment arrive, they've told me that the device is listed as End Of Life and no new ones will be brought. They have since removed it from their website/on-line market.
IMO, there will be no further updates for the Desire, either OTA or RUU.

Yea sad but true. A more than 1,5 year old phone is around EOL. Htc need their customers to move on to newer more profitable phones.
edit: also just checked. Almost any store i can think of have taken it off their product list.

Yep it has been discontinued.

Its on the HTC website. I doubt they would remove it off that.

I have also checked on several local stores near mhome, they do not provide any new Desire ...not anymore...
I guess this is it...

But how long the custom ROM will provide support/update to our Desire

I have saved lots of Roms, themes, Apks, Hboots and mods so whenever the Desire Devs move on I still have plenty to play with. Sometimes nostalgia is good.

and what u will do? play with old things?
no, the solution is cm and miui...they will give us the latest android version available untill the hardware can support it..so maybe more than 1 year at least (android 2.5?)

As long as the Nexus One gets new updates, be it Ice-Cream sandwhich or even the next Android iteration that comes after it, I'm sure the dev's will continue to cook us new roms up to a point where it is no longer possible.

Problem will be the GPU, but maybe they optimised it so much, that it will run better, than 3.0

Ya.. Sense 3.5 is optimized to run in lower-end hardware.... So Our Desire should be able to handle that I guess

I saw an article saying it was more optimized and doesnt have the same 'high end' hardware requirements as 3.0 too
we just need to wait for a port now I guess?
did I read right that the Bliss is similar spec to the Desire Z?

as much as i hate the sense ui(sorry), this looks awesome :->

Looks cool but I guess I will need to wait for a rom with that on top for my desire

This looks cool. I'd be interested to try it when someone makes a rom.

I can't say I like the weather lock-screen (even the lock ring looks poorer in quality) here but I assume this is a prototype/beta version anyway. I'm sure everything will look better once it gets an official release.
Anyone got any idea when this is mean to come out?

We have to wait for HTC Bliss ROM.

looks nice, I hope it will work smooth

It'll definitely be an interesting change to what we're used to. Hopefully it'll be better than 3.0.
