[Q] HTC navigation - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys don't Sopose if any one knows if it possible to use the HTC navigation on the new gingerbread release as I like the ginger bread Rom but I use the HTC navigation but its only available at the moment on sense 2. 1 so was wondering if able to port or get it to work on the new gingerbread release

Just grab a custom rom with Sense 2.1

+1. You know you'll have to buy it once the trial month expires? But turn-by-turn is much better than in google maps and voice guidance sounds much more natural.

Maple some of the 2.1 are little unstable or have sense 3.0 stuff I don't know any plain sense with HTC navigation
Hence thought if some one could port it to the new gingerbread releases as its very stable
Erklat Yh I no buddy the navigation is very good n price is only 19. 99 for UK for full subscription but I get sick off sense 3.0 lagging up the device

There are a lot of Sense roms that are pretty stable. Last time I used a sense rom it was fine. Anyway, I think the LeeDroid HD rom only has Sense 2.1.

Cheers buddy thanks wel. Don't matter know as my wife just rang me and told me she brought me a present lol new HTC sensation lol very nice

It has 3.0 add on pack. SGBS also has 2.1, I used that navigation for a few days with it and it works just fine.

I could only find sgbs light as that didn't have the navigation lol bit the light version worked a charm apart from navigation

Whats the best non sense rom for Desire?

Im tired of not being abled to use my wiimote to play emulator games etc.
So im asking what in your opinion is the best Rom for the desire without Sense activated?
1+ for link to the latest version download
IMHO AdamG's OpenDesire 3.0.1 is the best right now until the official FROYO is released.
Cyanogen Mod 6 RC1.

Nope, as a matter of fact when you first install it, it says welcome to Nexus One! I've been using it since he uploaded it and it is awesome, blazing fast and you can OC.
I personally like the Defrost rom by Richardtrip. very fast and clean.
Is IMHO very good with launcherpro. I hear that the cyanogen is bundled with fantastic features, but I dont plan to change from DeFrost until a OCUV comes out for the 2.2 sense

Sounds pretty ****ing awsome .
As i havent rooted my phone before and you seem like a helping guy (no i know where the guide is, i dont need help with that) How does uppdating the root work? do i need to reflash the new image every time a new uppdate comes?
Just download rom manager from the market once you root and it has a feature to check for updates on the rom your using. Does eveything automatic, easy as pie
Try set rom. If I want to leave Sense i'll use it without thinking.
I think I´m gonna ditch Sense. I´m fed up with it´s stupid dialer, the contacts widget and the slopoke SMS app.
Plus it´s kind of laggy. The only thing I like is the weather widget.
Any weather widgets out there? Nice ones I mean.
Thanks
P.S. I quite like the OpenDesire one.
The prettiest weather widget is fancy widget, do a search on here for the APK as its not on the market. It's exactly like the sense one, and opendesire 301 is by far the most complete vanilla android in my opinion
OpenDesire 3.0.2 just went live!
I'm on 3.0.2 now, the best just got better

OpenDesire and DeFrost are the best ROMs Imo.
For the weather buy beautiful weather widget. It's more customizable and even prettier than HTC weather.

Are you using the "Beatiful Widgets"?
A lot of people are complaining about FC since the last update.
The best non-sense ROM is CyanogenMod 6.0.0 RC1 . It has so many functions that make the user experience so much better.
I thought OpenDesire was HTC Sense enabled?

[Q] Gingerbread with HTC Sense?

Hello!
I'm currently running Oxygen's excellent Gingerbread 2.0 RC6 on my Desire. It's been fine, although I notice many of the visual enhancements don't currently work - like screen on/off animation etc. I also get the Oxygen loading screen hang frequently.
Now, I can put up with these things IF there is a way to get the Sense UI onto the device while running Gingerbread... I have no idea if this is even possible or not!
Can someone please advise? Is there a launcher ROM that can be flashed over the top of Gingerbread that will give me the Sense UI goodies while giving me the other benefits of GB? Or am I limited to waiting for a modified Sense-based 2.3 ROM rather than an AOSP one such as Oxygen?
Appreciate you advice and input

Thanks for your reply!
Totally agree. I had the updated oxygen ROM and missed some of the sense features. COME ON HTC give us gingerbread with sense 2!!
Get the full version of launcherpro which has sense style Widgets for your homescreens. Then get the sense theme for the launcherbar at the bottom of the screen. Looks exactly the same without having to flash a sense rom.

They said so, but is is reasonable to assume that DesireHD and Desire Z get it first, then we are next.
That however could take a lot of time, I read something about September at the earliest.
Someone correct me please if I'm wrong.
Desire Gingerbread is coming around June time. No specifics as to whether DesireHD and Z get it first but it says they are all on the same schedule as the Incredible S whereas Desire S and Wildfire S will ship with 2.3
source: engadget.com/2011/02/27/htc-incredible-s-desire-hd-desire-z-and-original-desire-will-a/
That could take a while, which is why some of us are installing Gingerbread Roms in the 1st place
Probably will especially if you have to wait for your relevant carrier to tinker with it first. That's why I flashed custom. May go to official HTC rom if/ when this is leaked just depends how slow it is compared to CM 7 unless of course it has sense 2 (crosses fingers)
I'm running CM7 RC1 with Honeycomb Alva v4 theme with ADW EX and I'm loving the look of honeycomb. I hope the brilliant devs that works hard for our free roms can work their magic on the SDK. I wish I could do it, I'm going to start reading up on it nut I never have time so I'd be a cack dev lol. but I must say I'm looking forward to seeing sense on a gingerbread rom!!!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
^The same ROM has a Sense port theme using the same method as you installed the Honeycomb theme
It doesn't have the Sense widgets and functionality though, quite obviously.

[Q] Is there a viable Gingerbread 2.3 Rom for Desire HD yet?

I had an original Hero a while ago and was using Modaco roms but that was over a year ago now before jumping to Palm Pre for a bit.
So I am totally new on modern hacks and concerning the DHD.
I know I need to downgrade and something called S-OFF and Visionary. However what I need to know is if I use a 2.3 Rom presumably from a Cyanogen source will I have full functionality? All Google Apps? Can I still use HTC Sense widgets if I choose too? Will HTCSense.com still work?
Thanks

Depends where you get it from, but on here most are full of bugs currently, I would wait until they are ironed out. No HTCSense.com won't work without the HTC Sense homescreen, but I would only worry about this if you REALLY need the service. Google Apps will work, and if they arent supplied they can be downloaded from the Market

No I want to try vanilla 2.3 for a bit. I have only ever used Android with Sense overlay.
You saying the Cm7 nightlys are stable for day2day use and all apps are available on it? Is it the thread over in Dev forum?

I'm using CM7 Nightlys on day2day basis, on build #5 atm, got no problems with it at all.

Alltho i recomend reading up on the full proess around rooting and flashing recovery, radio and roms a few times to ensure your not getting a brick out of it
does 2.3 bring with it marvelous battery life improvements?
I did all the nececssary and now I am succesfully running slightly modded cyanogen7 daily #5. Very stable actually no problems at all so far other than the Microbes live wall paper freezing and needing a reload

What is the best Gingerbread 2.3 ROM with Sense 3.0

Hi, as above I would like to find out which is the best 2.3 Gingerbread ROM with Sense 3.0.
I have updated like probably most to the 2.3 Gingerbread OTA update but Sense 3.0 is missing and probably won't come from HTC seeing as they have stated 3.0 needs the hardware which the DHD isn't in their opinion. But as we know that's bull crap as the DHD can run Sense 3.0.
Just would like to get opinions from frequent ROM users and possibly devs as what's the best one to be looking at as I'm completely new to custom ROM's.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
go with i00's true sense 3.0
very smooth sense 3.0 expierience
Can't believe senior members asks questions like this that may discriminate among the devs..(I have seen moderators discouraging members who asks the same sort of questions!!)
Any way there are only two sense 3.0 roms over xda... i00 and RCmix.... Shoot them one by one and you may find the best one for you.
well if you insist then... After using RCmix for a while, I flashed an i00, and is working as my daily driver.... no operational bugs so far...
Im stuck at the crossroad too.
What is the difference between i00 5.3 and rcmix Kingdom 0.2?

Tried both.. i00 boots up much faster runs smoother updates weather but doesnt recognize chinese korean japanese chracters..
kingdom boots a bit slower, meaning sticky on the scrolling in program but smoother on the sense
Hi thanks all, I appreciate the input as I'm new to ROM's I may have been here a while but have just stuck with stock.
Can anyone confirm do both the Kingdom and i00 ROM's have root access already? They both look excellent so I wasn't sure. I'm now looking at ROM's as the 2.3 update all us stock users had really is missing Sense 3.0 so these ROM's actually are better by the looks than what HTC themselves give us

Leedroid GB with latest kernel is extremely fast GB rom, and apply kingdom lockscreen for the extra 3.0 sense elements!
well i want to take part of this thread...
i tried many possibilities for have the sense 3.0 and finally like my signature says this is my super stable, beautiful & fast combination
really for me... lee bailey´s roms are totally awesome
EDIT:i used kingdom´s sense 3.0 (weather, mms, etc...)
lockscreen goes by default with kalagas theme

Can either the Kingdom or i00 rom be used for daily use yet?
Just I noticed some functionality like srs isn't working from the bug list. Just wondering which is the closest to perfection?
I have tried both, and the latest Kingdom release beats i00 hands down.
Kingdom's 'Android' widget ratios are just about spot on, so none-Sense widgets display correctly. This is a major issue on i00's, and the deal winner for me.
Very stable (no random reboots or f/c's), good battery life and fine for every day use. The autoinstall is an absolute must.
I tried Kingdom - gallery widget is out of line to the left, Twitter widget not working, other widgets far to small as its for a larger screen, video camera and sound is awful and not sure how that latter part can have optimization for DHD as certainly can't record 1080p on a DHD as it already struggles with 720p in stock.

i thought there were several sence 3 roms
I've tried i00, but switched back to MDJ's ViVO sense which is lightning fast and has almost all Sense 3.0 features.

Guys if you want Sense 3.0 buy a new phone. The OS is to heavy for the little hero to run on. For the moment even Sense 2.1 runs like hell on the hero, imagine 3.0. If you guys wanna give a help with sense 2.1 find a way to reduce the number of home screens from 7 to 3 .
I'm guessing that you can do that under Sense, 'stefpaul'

sense 2.1 is fine LoL - HTC released it for the hero after all, it's plenty fast. try elelinux's 2.1 sense rom, it's outstanding. no need to cut down any resources.
but sense 2.2 and 2.3 are not running all that well - 2.3 just is barely fast enough when overclocked and still lags at times and certainly runs out of memory all the time on the hero. but it's at least usable if you're careful how you set it up.
3.0 ain't gonna happen. and honestly, 2.3 sense really ain't gonna happen either, not in a really smooth workable state. but I doubt that's jsut the fault of sense - AOSP and CM 2.3 roms also have huge memory requirements and big slowdowns and poor screen redraw speeds in some situations....
Wrong thread sorry. But I think this idea wouldn't be easy to implement.
Theres a brilliant facebook chat app with a great widget, I personally would love it if this could be ported. I wish i had the knowledge to at least try it myself
yes please port the facebook chat widget and more apps.
You know, Google is a great tool when you want to learn something. If you want stuff ported, why not try yourself?
