[Q] CDMA Desire (US Cellular)

I just saw a video review of US Cellular's new CDMA version of the HTC Desire. No doubt the people who buy this phone will discover all sorts of information on this forum... info that could (I'd imagine) seriously harm their phone if they try to flash their CDMA Desire with a GSM Desire ROM!
Might it be appropriate to give this variant its own subforum? Or failing that, post some prominent warnings that the US Cellular HTC Desire is a significantly different piece of hardware?

I guess nobody with one of these has discovered the forum here yet?

(noob here). Can it really cause that much problems? I'm going to be picking up the Desire from Telus soon. Are you saying that I won't be able to use the current custom ROMS?

The Telus Desire is not CDMA - it's GSM/HSPA like all the others. Custom ROMs will work as long as they support the SLCD screen (some are written only for AMOLED screens).
I'm specifically talking about the US Cellular HTC Desire, which is the first CDMA version to be released.

And so it begins...

I have mine as well. Can we root with the guides using the desire from other carriers?

My brother just picked up a desire and wants to root it.

And has anyone who has gotten the new USC Desire, have you tried the current root method to see if it works. I have doubts that it will.

agree with the OP.
just like the sprint hero and the GSM hero.
need to be a subsection. like you said it could seriously damage the phones if they flash the wrong things. hope a mod creates a different section soon.

+1 on that. There's a lot of people out there who don't even know the different between GSM & CDMA.

Also, it would help for development in general (root and roms.)

I really think the mods should open seperate forums for Desire GSM and Desire CDMA, because as both phones use completely different radios, chances are it will wreck the phone if you put a GSM ROM on a CDMA phone.

Anyone know who any of the mods for the Desire forum are? I would just PM them but I'm not sure who they are.

[Q] HTC Supersonic?......Does it really exist....

I've been seeing around specs for the Supersonic saying it has GSM bands. I know the EVO 4G from Sprint does not have GSM bands so the question is does this Supersonic World phone exist and how could I order one?????

Wow... you are just as flawed in responding as he is in ignorance. He never had any doubt about the names / codenames. His question was with regard to a GSM version. TP2 did this so it isn't crazy to ask the question.
But if you had taken the time to read (instead of prepping your flame), you would have noticed that he used EVO and supersonic in the same post... so I am sure he already knows how code names work.

[Q] which phone to follow the desire?

hi all,
just wondering ....
which phone will you be picking up to replace your desire?
the desire has been the ?best? supported android phone during the days of eclair and froyo, then gingerbread (not enough resources to run the phone??? -wrong) and now ICS (i've been running sandvolds ICS beta for a month and it rocks, so smooth but now definately limited by hardware (NFC, no HWA support etc)).
However, times change and no piece of technology can last forever.
Which android phone will take over from the desire in being the next best option? WHich one has the most dev support, which one has the best hardware.
I know thousands of people will be nearing the end of their contract for their Desire. What will you pick up and why?

Well according to this other thread here, there is still no decent replacement for Desire so there.

you got me.
the desire is the only phone i will use for the rest of my life.
...could be worse i guess

It looks Sony is trying to turn things around with their smartphone lineup this year. But I'm not yet convinced but being a Sony Ericsson fan before I hope they would play it good this time.

I am also thinking my next phone will be the Sony Experia S I have been reading good things about it. Sony also seems to allow the bootloaders to be unlocked with out issue nowadays so hopefully there will be some nice custom ROMs. Just can't decide on the color white or black...

Thread similar to this already started search.................before you post.

Moving to Q&A

As in terms of rom development.
You could take the Desire HD, with the upcoming announcement of ICS coming to that one and the Desire S.
(I would take the Desire HD, when my Desire is up for replacement)
Also by taking several looks at the rom development section of the DHD.
I think it wouldn't be a bad choice to go with.
As in a completely new phone, with hopefully a good rom development, i would wait for the SGS III

Hello HTC EVO 4g Users and Devs

I came from the Motorola Triumph to the HTC EVO because of the lack of good working roms it has. That's one of the main reasons I bought this phone (HTC EVO 4G) because of all the developments going on for a 2 year old phone. Like for instance the HTC EVO 4g LTE came out are a lot of you users and devs going to that phone? So my question would be is the HTC EVO 4g one of those phones even though its 2 years old is development still going on? How come development is still going on? I'm not saying that i want the devs to stop developing for it and move on the the HTC EVO 4g LTE. I know the EVO 4g came out in like 2010 and yet is 2012 and development is still going on for it. How come is that not saying that I want the devs to stop and move on to the HTC EVO 4g LTE. Also I know how to port roms so will the roms on HTC Desire HD and HTC EVO 3D work on this phone are there any special mods needed to be done? Oh and one more question do all of HTC EVO 4g ICS have camera(s) working or is it just the back?

I don't know if you've a question or statement in that jumble, but yes, development is still going on. Many of the current devs are working on ICS, there is a sense 4 alpha floating in the development section. in addition, there are also new gingerbread builds being re-worked.

Well I guess its kind of both a question within the statment I'll clarify it.

Well that helps. You can attempt to port the desire to the evo, but you'll need some additional things to make it work, I believe. Also, all the ICS roms have the rear camera working; no ICS Evo rom has the front facing camera [ffc] working.

Okay I cleared it up a bit. Should be easier to understand now.

[Q] Can i run these roms on my phone?

Hello!
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but i see that this subforum is MUCH more active than the Sprint subforum, I currently have the sprint htc one m8. I've been looking at the CM12 roms and i wanted to know if i can install them and still be able to use my sprint service? Again, sorry if this is a stupid question.
Current phone: Sprint HTC ONE M8
*I'm looking at this rom btw

I'd search the thread on keyword Sprint. And see if its mentioned. And if it's not in the OP, you could ask.
Keep in mind, most roms in the international section are for GSM phones... I believe.

Alright, I knew it was a stretch and was just hoping it was possible to somehow make it work with Sprint. Anyways thank you for actually replying.

I didn't say it doesn't work... But you can search the thread for Sprint mentions and see.

Alright i will search the Sprint subforum relating to using gsm roms on sprint
*Edit
I searched the Sprint Q/A and couldn't find anything, i also forgot to mention my phone is S-ON. I have a feeling you would need S-OFF for this to be even remotely possible?
