Gingervillan for HTC sensation - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi there
Recently I rooted my HTC desire phone and installed the Gingervillain ROM, which is fantastic. I have just purchased a HTC Sensation and would like to do the same, can anyone tell me if this is possible and point me to a how to?
thank you

That ROM probably doesn't exist for the Sensation, a new model. The Sensation Development forum seems to have a few great ROMs to choose from. I would go with the Android Revolution HD

[Q] HTC Desire HD Stable ROM required

Hello people, I'm looking for a stable HTC Desire HD ROM as I have taken off the one that came with my locked 3 device as my god it was slow. The ROM I'm now running is based on a Nexus one, very nice but I miss the HTC Sence stuff. Can anyone please help ????
I'm not sure if this will be useful to you. I have not actually tried it myself, but since no one else replied to your question yet...

Is it a good idea to buy HTC Incredible S instead of HTC Desire?

Only thing it is holding me back because it isn't popular phone so I might don't have much of support or any help for rooting, hardware issue or anything like that. I could just save $150 and go for HTC Desire, but I like 8mpx, front camera and the screen on HTC Incredible S. I like HTC Desire because it is quite popular and it has a lot of support, but Incredible S sounds and look much cooler.
Also excuse me for posting in wrong section, I couldn't find a correct section for general discussion of android phone (hardware).
EDIT: I posted this thread in both section Desire and Incredible S for unbiased opinion.
Two words. Incredible s. If you can wait get a sensation

Incredible S defenietly has better specifications, but it indeed does not have the same customrom / supportuserbase on xda yet.
Like stated above, the Sensation will be out in 1-2months, and thats a great phone. If you cannot wait and want a new phone now, perhaps the Desire HD is a valid option also (Better than regular Desire, similar specs to Incredible, but awesome support/userbase here on XDA).
Blah id get the lg optimus 2x for that amount of cash (dual corez)
But if i had to choose incredible s (desire is booring)

I got an Arc to wait for the Sensation with root, I am considering to sell it and get a Desire or DHD just because the Arc while it has root it doesn't have any custom rom!
I sold my 1 year used N1 for 330$ 2 weeks ago so I think selling a Desire or DHD in 2 months will be pretty the same, whereas the SE price droping fast and its lack of popularity will mean that I will sell it for even less than a Desire.
So if you can't live without custom roms more than 2 weeks...buy a good old Desire or DHD!
The Sensation will be out between the 8th and 15th June, add to that another month to find a root and the price to decrease
Well, guys, thanks for replying, but why would you ever mention Sensation? I have a budget and I couldn't shell out that much of money and what I heard, dual-core is a battery drainer plus I don't want 4.3" screen as it's too big for me. Even 4" is, that's why I was going for Desire which is 3.7" or something.
Can you put custom ROM on Incredible S?
^If you're that worried about budget and everything, you might want to look into the Nexus S, it runs better than any of these phones (except dual-core), has decent dev support, is factory-unlocked, and it's more pocket-able than 4.3" phones.
If you're absolutely tied between the Desire and the Incredible S, then go for the Incredible S because of significantly better specs, a newer version of Sense and WAY more onboard memory.
To be honest, the main reasons people here work on custom roms, is because we don't have Sense 2.0 on the Desire without an Ace rom (DHD), because of memory limitations (147MB on stock partition table, vs 1.1GB in Incredible S), to make it run faster, or to run MIUI or AOSP.
Sense is great, and with the Incredible S, your phone will run better than a Desire running sense ever would, so go with that!

I couldn't go for Google Nexus S because it doesn't have support in Moscow, Russia e.g if I have hardware failure or such, I couldn't take it to the support.
Sounds like I wouldn't need to change ROM on Incredible S but I would like to be able to root it to have full power on it. Is Android applications depended of which phone model do you have (I'm already aware it's depended of android version)?
Also, is dev support is that important? If it is, then I guess I should fall back down to HTC Desire.
Also, I'm pretty tired of this 5 minutes limit for editing/posting, when will it get removed?
If you are in desperate need of a new phone and you can afford something more expensive than Desire, I think you should get either Incredible S or Nexus S.
If you can wait and still afford the price when it comes to the market, I think Sensation would be the better option.
The good old Desire is still a good option to get. Despite of all its weaknesses due to being an old model with old specs, Desire is very cheap at this moment, especially the second handed one.
I had a Desire about a year ago, then moved to the Samsung Galaxy S.
But just today I bought a Desire for £200 brand new, I couldn't resist as it's just such a good phone!
Running AdamG's Oxygen ROM on it now, it's so awesome!
Oh well I just discovered the weather from Sense 3.0 has been ported to DHD in a 100% workingl rom, the Desire will follow shortly
I guess it boils down to price for you by the sounds of it. Also consider if you are big in to gaming and video as Incredible GPU is much better than Desire from what I can remember. Is the Incredible locked though, as in bootloader/ROM's? Also something to bear in mind.

[Q] Desire HD vs. Incredible S

O.K., I am thinking getting one of these beasts and wanted to ask which one would be better. I would definitely install a custom rom on it and mod it, and for that reason, i am edging towards the desire hd.
What are your opinions?

[Q] questions about the one X+

Hey,
I've recently switched back to android and im now looking into the next phone I want. At the moment, I'm looking into the one X+ as I assume it is capable of running the MIUI OS that the One X runs.
My questions is, is it possible to run the HTC One X version of MIUI on the ONE X+? (BTW, im referring to the international/European versions)

HTC One (Dual Sim) Europe vs. Nexus 4/5 ?

Hey there,
when I first went for android I bought the HTC Desire HD and absolutely loved it. How ever my next phone was the Nexus 4 which I loved even more. Fast updates, a lot of 3rd party development (Kernel, ROM, etc) and very cheap.
How ever, today I read that the HTC One M8 DUAL SIM will come to Europe. This is very handy for me as I carry my private + business phone 24/7. Now my question is:
How is the HTC One M8 holding up compared to the Nexus 4/5 in terms of 3rd party development?
For example on the nExus 4 there is "Franco.Kernel" which seems to offer A LOT of improvement and testing and I absolutely don't want to miss a few of its features (for example screen color calibration). The "only" kernel I saw on the HTC One M8 was faux kernel. For ROM's I saw that Paranoid Android is also avi on the HTC One, but is it also as good as on the Nexus 4/5 ?
Android Revolution HD (the ROM I used on my HTC Desire HD) surely is still a very good ROM but based on the older Android version. So I would prefer PA.
Also I am reading a lot about t-mobile or verizon HTC One M8. Is there any difference to the european version ?
Thanks
