Title says it all. If you don't have full sources,can you tell me what GB HTC Sense devices got them? Thank you
OK, this thread is very disturbing...!
This 3d will be moved in Q/A section.
That's not the right place to ask.
Anyway, GB kernel source can be found at htcdev.com
Only kernel and core android is subject to gpl. This means you can download HTC kernel and android source code but you cannot download HTC android source code as its proprietory

That seems very odd and I doubt very much that any DEVICES will have desire source code laying around..

You are disturbing too
i presume your trying to build a htc rom with sense from source. If so this is impossible as sense is not open source, all sense roms are modified stock roms or ports of stock roms for other htc devices. An aosp rom can be compiled from source but not directly for the desire you must compile for another supported device, nexus one is the closest to the desire. Then you must swap the kernel for a good desire one. Then you must add desire drivers, which i am trying to find myself currently. Cyanogen can be compiled from source for the desire

Seriously when you're the one writing, apparently it is.. here is what the above sentence would look like in english:
Learn to read. What I meant to say was, "which HTC devices has got the HTC sense source?" I didn't mean desire source even though that was what i wrote. It doesn't take too much effort to understand what you're reading.

Had to add quite a few words, but this reflects what I, the general reader, understood from your sentence after quite some effort..
Also you start out by asking for HTC desire sense source-code, which a quick search would have told you is unavailable, and then you ask which devices have this before-mentioned source. In no way did you indicate that you weren't still looking for the desire Source in other devices..
Additionally I'd like to specify, that source-code is the raw coding, which is compiled into software capable of running on our devices. meaning that what is shipped on phones doesn't contain source-code as such but a version of the compiled software for this specific device so no there is absolutely no HTC devices containing this software. And finally the HTC sense source-code is proprietary and as such it'll never leave HTC's development department.

Thank you. But,I googled sense sources but found only kernel ones,so was asking here.
Ye it might have required some more extensive reading than the Google search overview page.. But when you choose to skip this step and go ahead and ask the forum, you'll want to put quite a bit more effort into formulating the question properly. Especially if English isn't your native language.

Because they have to do under the GPL licencing terms, I think ? i.e. they're modifiying the GPL source code, so therefore they have to release their modifications to it. Or something like that.
To be fair, it seems they posted the G2 kernel (2.6.32.17) rather than what was shipped on the DZ (2.6.32.21)... They're useless... Not complying with GPL at all.

ok, but the DZ shipped later than the G2. So maybe they'll post the DZ source code too in due course. I think there is a certain time period for them to post it and still comply with the GPL ?

There is no such time period. You don't have to provide the source with the binaries, but my understanding is that if you do so, you must provide a written offer for anyone to get a copy of the source. I would post a citation, but I can't just link things yet. Search google for "GPL faq", it's the first link

Thanks, I had a look at the FAQ. I found this (my emphasis) :
If you commercially distribute binaries not accompanied with source code, the GPL says you must provide a written offer to distribute the source code later

So doesn't that mean HTC normally would release a phone together with a written offer to distribute that source code "later" ?

That is certainly the route they have taken (which isn't necessarily a bad idea, including the source code with every handset would be superfluous for most people). Since they are distributing under 3b it is reasonable that there would be a delay in receiving the source. This doesn't mean that they get to wait an arbitrarily long time however. Since it is not explicitly defined in the license it would be up to a court to decide what constitutes reasonable.
will it be possible for ppl to port wp7 onto the desire? altho it's probably strictly not legal cos of the closedness of wp7..
honestly.. why?
How many times are we going to see the exact same question posted over and over (and over)? Did you think to search before posting? Wait, don't answer that, it's a stupid question since we all know the answer already (you're obviously pressed for time since you couldn't be bothered to type all of the letters in some of your words)

Why W7 when android but rapes all other mobile OS?
People have bothered to run Android on iPhone, so why wouldn't people try to run WP7 on an Android Device?
HTC is releasing 5 phones at moment with WP7, some of them have similar HW to Desire.
People keep asking because there are no good answers to this topic.

i like android but it abso does not 'rapes all other....'. gpu acceleration of the UI, for some utterly retarded reason, is missing and that makes the phone laggy at times when you're multitasking.
modern phones like ours have gpus and the damn UI should have been hardware accelerated as of android 2.1.
our desires as they are now (2.2) with hard accel or the UI would make it iphone/winmo 7 smooth (winmo is smooth - see hte anandtech article on it).
that's what i want for my desire above anything else at the moment - well, that and the ability to do the absolutely 100% legal task of recording my calls.
google are so stupid sometimes. hopefully winmo and a decent webos phone will light a fire under em to get some of the basics right before moving on to something else.

There have been plenty of good answers (which generally are "no, because WP7 is closed source"). The definition of a good answer usually is "the answer is more or less correct" whereas your definition of a good answer appears to be the same as what my kids would define as a good answer in response to "dad can I..." questions - meaning "yes, of course you can."

Sure WP7 is closed source, but closed source has never stopped devs before.
The answer "No" with nothing else following it is generally a really bad answer, for many reasons.
It is possible to port WP7 to desire, the question is rather Who and When then If.
People said that the PS3 NEVER will be hacked, look what happened 4 years later.
Don't be so closed minded.

DO NOT TRY TO FLASH THIS TO YOUR HD2!!!!
Do you maybe mean this is Desire? Not the HD? Because the filename doesnt sound like its the HD (gb s = I dont know so maybe it is HD). If it is HD, I dont think this is any different from what we have now?
If its really desire, then OMG! This would be Christmas in the middle of the year! No more graphic bugs and no more overall lagging/incompleteness. Nice find, I do hope its the desire source!
Thanks
(And 100MB? Thats pretty small for HD I think...for sense even, IDK.)

I thought it wouldn't be sense 3.0 because htc claims it doesn't perform on the Desire serie including the desire HD.
Also the gingerbread Desire HD has been released for some months ago.
We didn't need the Desire GB rom, we need the kernel source of the Desire Gingerbread kernel to fix the graphics and camcorder problems (imilka post). We have enough Desire HD GB rom's.
Look at http://developer.htc.com/ and wait for a new entry "HTC Desire - GB -2.6.35 kernel source code". When HTC release the Desire update, they have to publish the needed kernel source.

Obviously others work, I am not blind....we are using them.
Im saying
For REAL working files/roms, we need the desire release, I assumed (which I was obviously dumb for) everyone reading it knew I meant the source, what we have ALL been waiting on. Graphical bugs and probably performance issues because of that plus other 'closer' related phone code can be used.
We (the devs - not me) are using patched code/files that are working but will work better once we get the desire release. All I was saying was this is for the desire hd, and we need the desire release. Its known we need that. What the hell do you mean these other work? They do but are not working as WELL as they CAN be. Lets wait for the release then discus. Either way, this should still be close its irrelevant.

Hey guys,
As you have probably noticed, the development at the desire has quite "stopped"
Many devs are really "busy" and others have abandoned the desire.
The ONLY working dev is Coolexe or MichaelM.
I personally think it's time to move on to a next device.
What you guys think?
Will there come more desire devs? or will this be the "end"?
Bout kernels: Once they told us, when open source kernel is released, the desire will be muchhhhh better, but I personally think there hasn't change much!
Kernels are still not as they should be, 1 kernel got lockscreen lag or batt drain, others freeze. Know what imsaying?
I'm not saying the devs are that bad, but this is the end to me I think.
Share you'r opinion below!

ooooh 1 whole month ago. Actually I am working on a build now but quality is more important to me than getting out updates every 2 days.
But to say there are only 2 devs working on the desire is completely wrong and I find your posts not only offensive but also inaccurate and counter productive.
Edit> Also forgot to mention Droidzone and Sibere, then all the kernel devs. not all devs build roms.
And Kali- is a dev,. he doesn't just "post builds" if you look at his git hub you can see his commits,.
Worst thread ever!
Well I see it more dimensional:
1. Sense: it seems like really slowed down a bit, but on the other hand Sense 3.5 was available very quickly. Dridzone is also contributing here (piety he resists newer Sense for now).
2. ASOP: CM7 + bunch of other ROMs - well CM is stable, rest is fluctuating (for me it is only CM that seems interesting)
3. MIUI: active
Actually now is the time to wait for ICS sourcecode to enable further milestone. I guess Sense will decrease in popularity with ICS based CM9 released. For me the only thing thet stops me from CM7 as daily are Exchange ActiveSync issues.
Piety that for few days now both Coolexe and michelm_007 remain silent. Anyway DHD seems to be the main driver of HTC community - Desire seems to rather follow, not drive progress (in matter of new sense porting). Tha is basically due to small internal memory that is the main step to consider when porting some new ROMS. The speed issue due to obsolete platform (CPU/GPU) is also stronger here from DHD, so it really is the fade out period for the Sense on Desire. Next Sense will most likely be even more difficult to be run smoothly...
Sense will gain popularity again when Sense 4.0 on top of Android 4.0 D) will be released.
Dont see that running on the trusty Desire though
RootSU,
I didn't want to be rude,
But I think you understand that this desire community isn't how its supposed to be.
You have to agree that the BEST devs abonded, like baadnewz, robocik, leedroid (comes back)
It's not completely dead but its silent here in the rom section.
Hope you understand my point
I understand that the desire is phasing out. I only debate the fact that there are only 2 active devs. I just think you're exaggerating the situation, be that knowingly or otherwise.

isnt it logical that people move on to new devices, including the devs? no point stating the obvious in a thread here... just stick with whats left of the desire community, start developing yourself or abandon ship and go for a newer device... you should at least be thankful for all that has been done for our awesome device so far...
*note* im not bashing you in any way, its just that i think the way you wrote the OP is pointless. you can move on to a Nexus device where the development doesnt stop till the devs faint from working overtime...

This. I even flashed AuraxTSense again for a brief period before changing ship to aosp because of this.
It is only natural that people continue developing elsewhere, depending on where they upgraded. You can't expect them to support old device like you can't expect from HTC. Neither party involved has superhuman abilities, so I can't say anything but great thanks for making Desire more pleasurable to use than it already was.
The thing that concerns me are the reasons both Neophyte and AdamG went. Rapid deterioration of community and quality of information available in the period of last 12 months. Both these great devs went explicitly because of that (one for good and one to his respective forum).

Oh no this all cant be true! I have finally rooted and put my first rom on.....only took me about 18 months. Ah well, a few months time and it will be upgrade time. Still, for me it seems so new.
Just read this in the news...
HTC mentioned releasing "generic development ROMs" for the future updates of Android, which seem to be stock Android without Sense UI.
HTC also mentioned that those ROMs would be available before future, official Updates, with will have Sense UI integrated.

What about a development version of Android 4.1?
For our developer community, we plan to make generic development ROMs of Jelly Bean available for both the HTC One X and HTC One S. As soon as the ROMs are ready, they will be posted to our HTCdev site (www.htcdev.com). We strongly recommend customers take the time to understand the limitations of the development software along with the terms and conditions on the site before downloading to their device.

Actually, if that is really true and I understood correctly, I would seriously reconsider getting the Nexus 4. Sure, we got awesome AOSP ROMs already, like official AOSP, AOKP and CM10, but they all suffer from different little nags because HTC's Framework + device drivers aren't fully open source. For example, in the best case, we could make use of ImageSense within AOSP and as well as HTC Beats Audio, if HTC makes those features available in pure AOSP development releases.
What do you guys think about this?
Does "generic development ROMs" mean preview builds with Sense UI, or actually real "generic" ROMs with pure AOSP?
It's more likely to be a stripped down Sense rom than AOSP
Also, they say "we plan to...", so it could be months before we see anything

Yeah, "we plan to..." is a pretty dangerous choice of words if it comes from HTC

These might be exactly the limitations they are talking about. BUT I very much hope not.
Wow.if HTC will do this, they'll beat Sammy in freaks-area. I can't imagine it will become true

I highly doubt it'll be stock AOSP. I have a feeling they'll simply reduce functionality.
I don't think so
I really doubt it will be AOSP. I think it will be a regular .401 Sense ROM that developers can easily tinker with.
An AOSP ROM would be pretty cool though :laugh:
Such a move would make HTC awesome again!
