LMAO!
But right - radios and the display is drinking most of the juice

For me its more about a sense update than gingerbread. Only if we don't get sense 2.1 with the official rom, it'll be about having official gingerbread so we can get some custom roms based on that with sense 2.1 or 3.0.

Gtfo with sense porting. I don't care what sense it is, I use LPP anyway. Bring me whatever it is as long as it is built for Desire.

I personally love sense and am hoping that we get sense 2.1 with the upgrade. But each to his own I guess

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

I would really love if HTC releases official that would be very fast )))

Everyone has their own opinions.
My second ROM would be NEWTs Inc3d ROM based off of desire S and is sense 3.0
My third choice would be inchd which is sense 3.5, but tbh sense 3.5 I don't like as much, I prefer sense 21/3.0 hybrid which is why skyraider is #1 for me, and the look and feel of the desire s port is great. Sense 3.0 is really fluid, I find sense 3.5 to be a batt hog and not as fast as sense 3.0 and certainly not 2.1.
I mean, I bought this phone because I like HTC Sense. I always have, and I think I always will (who knows what they will do with Sense 4.0..)
but I've tried motorola smart phones, and the fascinate so I've tried others, and HTC is where I've been through the Eris, Inc1, inc2, and prob the Rezound in the future.
but like I said we all have what we like, whos to say whos is right, or better? as long as you are happy with your phone, that's all that counts.

my mom has the contimuim and my dad has the droid x2. both lag like crazy on the homescreens and everywhere else. my first phone was the motorola citrus (never again) then the dinc1, then dinc 2 and probably the htc edge once it comes out.

Well it affected many functions of the phone I doubt it
Using this on my Desire S. Much much much faster than 3.5.
This ROM is perfect because it has the same specs as our phone.
Why do you want a One X port? We will need to resize images etc, and will be slower as its designed for a quad-core phone, we are only on a single core, with less RAM.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
you are right. Its damn fast. But however, the ROM is just as fast, because a lot is missing (Widgets, Lockscreen etc.). It is not so comfortable as the real Sense 3.5 or 4.0. The sense here is 4.0 light, which is similar to Sense 2.1
The One X, based on real Sense 4.0 Engine

Already been using it... I was using it since October, when the first Sense 3.0 ROMs were available
Sense is laggy when opening notifications, app drawer etc. Not like 4.0
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
Not sire what you guys mean with laggy... Im come from desire.. and for sure...i know what lags are.. on desire also aosp roms have lags.. and now i have a phone with soo much speed.. no lockscreen lags.. even if a call comes.. i can push the symbol really smooth into the ring.. no slide lags during slide between homescreens.. i always use much htc widgets... After i play some 3d gameloft game.. no lag... I dont need data2ext scripts.. as there is engouh internal mem.. even in gameing no lag.. eg : asphalt, nfs, and other...mmmhh.. but im on stock rom @the moment 1. 05
Anyway.. also would like to see a sense 4 rom... Will look if i get some time free.. hope some other want work on that too.. maybe we can use the xe version.. and combine with kernel and hw drivers from sense 3. 6 (which allready work on our phones)...was a idea...
Also we can do some kernel optimations.. @the moment only for gb... So it would be nice again if we get official ics and also get the kernel as source...
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using XDA
Well ics kernel source for xl should be out soon as official ics dropping soon. These so called lags for me are non existent and maybe some are expecting too much. Rosie was and will always be a memory hog and any widget can cause maybe a slight delay in transition. No roise is ever smooth no matter what is done to it.

with kind regards
just downloaded...hope we get the official update soon...if so...one of all devs here should make a development thread...so we can speak together instead of each individually...so we can make ics sense 4 to work...there are also roms for desire hd out...but with things not working...we are in a better situation...we get a ics update...so we have original drivers...etc...so we should have a better start....
good to have custom recoverys...so we can do a nand backup...go back every time back to daily driver in testing

[Q] why 3.6 update instead of 4.0?

Any idea why our phone is getting sense 3.6 in its ics update instead of sense 4.0?
Because the image chip technology that is used in the new HTC One series. However, nitsuj is making a sense 4 port for our phones.
It's the best! Beats the rest!

sense 3.6 is fine, and will be welcome when its official...hopeuflly the 3.xx kernel and libs/bins help us with sense 4 ports

Ics Sense 4 fanatics club.... c'mon guys

Hello all, lets discuss your feelings, emotions, confusions:what:, predictions, fears, jubilation etc etc about the upcoming release of ics sense 4 for desire HERE, in THIS thread, and leave the dev threads for logcats, tweak scripts and bug fixes..... desire has a few devs left, try to keep them here.....

Great idea ....
I never really got into Sense, as I quickly rooted my phone and went with a CM type of ROM - and now using BCM9 3.3.1
However, my wife like Sense on her Desire ... so I am keen to see v4, as this seems to have been stripped back a bit from the bloated GB version.
I originally chipped in towards Shaky's Desire so that he can get on with Dev'ing for it.
Hopefully it comes soon.

Your choice, everyones got the right of having opinion... I personally love miui and sense roms although they have always been a little laggy for me later on [gb ics both].... cm7, oxygen etc have been super fast, but they lack the special elegance, beauty, whatever you call it....sense n miui, they LOOK good.... sense has the elegance, miui too.....cm7 has millions feature tweaks themes, but always keeps missing something.. oxygen is too barebones, and I hate the stock apps on it, almost always replaced with apps from store....

Anyone know - informed guess or not - weather, with the inclusion of Sense framework this will mean 720p video recording will be possible/ported with this rom? If so, perfect!
what???
@bingley
no one KNOWS that....
you get what you get.... i doubt whether devs will put that much effort into stuff like 720p recording, or 2way call-rec**8 watever that is, etc etc....... Even if they make a fully functional port will be more then enough for most of us..... i doubt usb tether will be not there and vid cam might give trouble just like ics stock.. otherwise the same functions wud be possible....
I don't know about the general opinion, but for me 2 way call record is a dealbreaker.

Yes, I'm aware of that. I provided the reason for me not even considering ics, not to mention tons of bugs and lag.
There recently were some Chinese Desires released with specs similar to our desire what proved our desire can run ICS Sense 4 romantic smoothly. Sense 4 nice. Would like to try it on my phone.

Once I tried ICS is hard to go back... unless I'm putting stability above everything else, which I am.
But I'm patiently waiting till ICS sees stability and smoothness, then I might reconsider it
And I believe it can be such a smooth experience and fast, not much diference from GB roms, after all, desire has a pretty good specs.
I think I heard people say Sense 4 is less mem hungry than sense 3.6 anyway

Getting this phone soon

Hey guys ! I belong to HTC explorer , Samsung galaxy s and desire hd forums and I'm planing to get this phone , so I want to know a few things bout it :
How's the stock rom ? I mean on my explorer its laggy and almost unbearable
How's the battery life with continues use of WiFi and a lot of texting and music , that's the only reson I buy a phone though
I didn't had much Time to check that dose HTC one v have sense 4.1 or sense 4 FULL ?
Dose it have 8-10 different types of lockscreens ? (Weather , friend stream , stock etc )
How's the over all smoothness ? Is it worth the money ?
Thanks ,
Sent from my HTC
Is it with the money? That depends. My carrier has dropped the price continually down to $100CDN and then stopped carrying it.
It's a much better phone if you install a custom rom on it. There are other phones that are newer and will likely have a front camera for similar price.
But, saying that, I like mine (custom ROM) just fine
I just got htc one v and it's fine for me. But battery last just for one day in my case - wifi on and a lot of texting. But I like it - it's fine for me and I thkink worth it's money.

The Lockscreen is not customizable. It's not full sense. To get what you want, you would have to root it and install ckpv5's mysense 3.5 rom., which is good.
I mentioned the price because you didn't. If it's more than $100, I would say get another phone. HTC will never upgrade it. They have already said so.

I was expecting the ui to be smooth and fast but Nevermind I really like it's camera and metallic body and I hope stock Rom wouldn't be that bad cause on my explorer with 600 MHz CPU it runs sense 4 pretty good (lags for a while, but a reboot fixes that) and on my desire hd it have 1 GHz CPU and it runs sense for just like stock , full sense 4 . So if DHD can run full sense sooth as hell with 1 GHz CPU , I see no reson for HOV to lag on lite version of sense with the same CPU

You can get different lock screens. All kinds of them for this phone. There are also Full Sense 4/4.1 Roms. Not JB Sense yet though if thats what you meant. Its actually an ok phone. I mainly use mine for gps,music, camera and social. On a good sense ROM battery will be great. On AOSP it will vary and usually not be so good. Good AOSP Roms are best for gaming. The metal case really helps, and its buttoned up pretty good. Put mine through some abuse. Its holding up nice. The stock ROM on mine actually wasn't too bad. Just with stock ROM and a good kernel its usable. But the best results are from a custom rom. Lots of good ones. Still development going on.
All that being said I would actually recommend a One S for what your looking for.
The camera one the One V isn't great. Night shots suck, and at 5mp its pretty low. One S has a great camera and 1080p video.
Battery is pretty small (One S isn't much bigger though)
And the One S is more powerful and smoother.
I've had my One V for about 4 months. Always wished I got a better One S.
One V is a good beginner phone.

You can get different lock screens. All kinds of them for this phone. There are also Full Sense 4/4.1 Roms. Not JB Sense yet though if thats what you meant. Its actually an ok phone. I mainly use mine for gps,music, camera and social. On a good sense ROM battery will be great. On AOSP it will vary and usually not be so good. Good AOSP Roms are best for gaming. The metal case really helps, and its buttoned up pretty good. Put mine through some abuse. Its holding up nice. The stock ROM on mine actually wasn't too bad. Just with stock ROM and a good kernel its usable. But the best results are from a custom rom. Lots of good ones. Still development going on.
All that being said I would actually recommend a One S for what your looking for.
The camera one the One V isn't great. Night shots suck, and at 5mp its pretty low. One S has a great camera and 1080p video.
Battery is pretty small (One S isn't much bigger though)
And the One S is more powerful and smoother.

Yeah so if you want it, it's a nice small, solid feeling phone, one v is good for that. But, if I were you, I'd root it and put either bandit's beaver ROM on it off one of ckpv5's
Hey thanks to all , I guess I'll be in this forum soon enough about in a 2-3 week's , one s is generally out of my budget :/
