As the title..... is there any interest for roms???
Have most people S-off and Root?
I have S-off and Root but not experience in Rom cooking.
As I understand, it will be possible to S-OFF the Wildfire S with AlphaRev X once it's released? If so, then I would be very interested in porting and maintaining CyanogenMod for it, as I'm currently already doing that for the old Wildfire. Only thing is, since I'm out of a job atm, I would be dependent on donations in order to buy a device to do so.
Hello, thanks for your offer, but in my opinion its not the right way to ask for donations if you haven't done anything. Sooner or later there will be somebody who creates a rom for free. Don't get me wrong, i don't want to offend you, i will gladly donate if there IS a rom i can flash to my Wildfire S.
But anyway, what exactly is S-OFF? Is this the part where you can unlock the bootloader?

Yes..you unlock the bootloader then you root.
I understand there is no other way right now to root .... most have S-off

Well yeah, if you mean work for this device, then obviously not much since I don't own one. Except for kernel work, since I'm using the same kernel on CyanogenMod for the Wildfire. If you mean work in general, I wouldn't say I haven't done anything, as I've put in countless hours since last year developing roms and kernels for the Tattoo and the Wildfire. All for free, mind you. And the work I've already put in on the old Wildfire of course means it would be easier to port CM to the Wildfire S.

Jacob doesn't develop for the Wildfire anymore. I took over maintaining CM for the Wildfire when he jumped to the Blade. The kernel used now (and has been for a few months) is my own, since there was a few issues with Jacobs kernel (no native usb tethering, copybit errors etc.). I recently ported the 2.6.35 kernel for the Wildfire S to work on the old Wildfire (which was using kernel 2.6.32), so that is the default kernel used in CM for the Wildfire now.

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

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 -

then this guide is great for flashing a ROM etc -

I'd recommend Virtuous Unity for a 3.0 Sense rom, but there are others out there.
Hope that helps

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
sense will come for dhd like desire s
thanks. again. i will have that in mind.now i am actually reading guides and threads on this forum so i do this right..

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!

Sense 3.5 could come later this year.its quite posible.
http://www.gsmarena.com/screenshots_of_sense_35_emerge_courtesy_of_htc_bliss-news-3049.php
I will pushlish the ROM soon, I've built it already.
Not sure whether the official Sense 3.5 will comes.
I have a T-Mobile G2 ver. 2.3.4. How easy is it and what are the steps to install HTC Sense on my phone? Are there bugs or glitches? Please let me know. Thank you very much!
You just need to find and flash a Sense based ROM via CWM. Virtuous ROMs work very well. I switch between CM7 and Unity on a regular basis and both are stable enough for day to day use.
I assume you have already set the phone up for flashing different ROMs?
Flashing different ROMs? How is it done? I haven't done anything to it except updating it to 2.3.4 using XDA's method. T-Mobile's OTA was taking a long time so I researched and found XDA. Thanks XDA!
It sounds like you have a lot of reading ahead of you.
Flashing ROMs is essentially installing new firmware on the device via a program called ClockWork.
I recommend starting off by reading through guides and information on the link below. The devices typically has safeguards against allowing you to just flash new ROMs, so a process is involved to unlock the phone and allow you to do it.
Once you become familiar with what it is, then learn how to do it, and what it does. I followed the gfree method on XDA wiki and had no issues, but if I recall, being on 2.3.4 you cannot follow the same method and must downgrade first.
Read, read, read. Then read some more. Search is very helpful.

if you are rooted, it should be somewhat simple. are you rooted?
Thanks for all the info and help guys but I'll stick to what I have for now. I read somewhere that there's still some glitches on the install like landscape is not working. And I'll do more research first so I won't brick my phone. Again, thanks guys! Peace!
Landscape rosie (homescreen) doesn't work for Unity. Its not an install glitch or bug, per se. The ROM based on HTC Sensation ROM, which does not have a keyboard, and therefore does not have landscape. Landscape rosie simply does not exist on that ROM, and the dev was fully aware that would be the case, all along. There is no Sense 3.0 with landscape rosie until HTC makes one.
Doubleshot has landscape rosie. Virtuous Sense is based on the official ROM for the Desire Z, so I assume landscape rosie works on that, as well.
There are also other Sense ROMs besides the Virtuous ones, like Insert Coin. But I don't know a whole lot about them.

Searching the Virtuous Sense thread, somebody says that the DZ HBoot is not needed. But I can't personally confirm.

I can see עברית in language settings. It is Hebrew, right?
For the keyboard it is unfortunately not available.
Everything in 'Original Android Development' is built from source, AOSP ROMs. It also contains 'extraordinary' development like ViperX
Under 'Android Development' you can find most Sense ROMs

No. HTC have not integrated Hebrew language in any of their recent Sense keyboards, Arabic neither.
You can install Stock Android keyboard if you want, it comes with hebrew out of the box.

Did you do full wipe before installing?
Tap wipe data/factory reset in cwm.
