[Q] Why are devs porting Ace roms rather than Saga roms? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I apologize if my question is stupid, I am just a casual "flash-maniac" .
Why is this? I think that the Desire S roms would be better for our Desire because of the display size and relatively same form factor, maybe.

bump.
no one please?
I would really love to see a stable and dev-supported saga port

I don't really know what your question is..
But there are Desire s ports for sure.
And they all got same screen size as far as I know, just 480x800 pixels Desire HD got 4.3 inch and Desire 3.7 inch but I think that's irrelevant when porting a rom.

It is relevant as ****! DHD has retarded small fonts.

yes that is my problem. the fonts are too small, I noticed even the sense 3.0 lock-screen ring, lock screen dock and lock screen icons are bigger on saga ports because they are optimized for 3.7inch 800x480
@Rsdf430. could you pls post here a link for a stable saga port with sense 3.0 (latest desire s update)?
the only ones I could find are from coolex's (cool sagaS) and michael_007's and they are buggy and without sense 3.0

Thank you!
You can find out everything from here
I read somewhere it has a built-in espressomachine and the rumor is that it can turn iron into gold.....but you didn't hear that from me!
There was a rumour that it was due out next month, but the dev's got sidetracked when they inadvertently found an entrance to Narnia
I've heard Google are incorporating a Mind Search for our gingerbreadz, along with a ray gun and a Wally finder.

It has an app that lets you create world peace. There's also another that brings back orphans' parents.
I heard it has an instant lolcat app!

Trying the serious take:
It is said [read: rumoured], that Android 3.0 will mostly be about the interface. But one problem is that if you have HTC Sense, it'll be unlikely you will see this native 3.0 interface on your phone. But it should at least bring a lot of new stuff to your Desire. - Of course, it's possible to stop Sense from running, but you won't get exactly what I'm talking about this way.
The jump from a number like 2.1 or 2.2 to 3.0 is a rather big one, so I'm expecting a lot from it.
Also, anyone know of an official confirmation that 'gingerbread' is actually 3.0? Since there are rumours going about saying the next update would be called 'honeycomb'. It'd be too early to know anything about another version of Android if you ask me.
My biggest wish is just that this new interface thing they're working on will add the right amount of polish. That's one little thing I miss of Android, the consistency of applications and stuff - everything is different and there are no apps which share the same smoothness between eachother, but that's also due to how easily people can put something in the Android Market.
I know, if I want consistency and smoothness and the best looking interfaces, I should go for an iPhone. That's my own opinion by the way. It's just that I really like Android phones and the operating system, but dislike how everything looks so different from eachother. (unlike on the iPhone)
Please, Android 3.0, make the wait worthwhile..
Turns out 'Jaffacake' has been leaked and will be in a CM6 nightly soon ;D

Yep, as we've seen from the Froyo roms, as soon as Android 3.0 hits the Nexus there will be ports and when it hits the AOSP it'll be compiled for the Desire. It may not ever be officially released for the Desire by HTC, but we'll get it somehow.
From what I read at Phandroid, Android 3.0 (honeycomb or gingerbread or gingercomb or honeybread etc.) might never make it to the Nexus One or the Desire. Reason being it shall be catered to high end smart phones like the Evo and Droid X.
Plus the revamp of the UI and the need for a bigger display, most likely it won't make it to the Desire. There's also a rumor going around that the Android 3.0 shall have no other UI layered on top so no HTC Sense or Motoblur.
Well it's all still rumors. Let's just wait for Christmas okay?
P.S: I think Winnie the Pooh might love Android 3.0.

And you don't consider a Desire "high end"? Droid X and Evo might have a bigger screen but the resolution is the same as the Desire. The Evo, besides the bigger screen and 4G, isn't more powerful or "high end"-er than the Desire...

Erm, Evo, Droid X and desire/n1 are essentially the same hardware underneath I mean 1ghz cpu, 512 ram ..

The Desire fits nicely above the required hardware specifications
Well who knows if they're 100% accurate... Still the Desires probably one of the best Android phones out there so it'll be possible they wouldn't make it so much more needed than what exists now.

New Sense 2.2 roms, why do devs port the desire z and not the Desire HD?

I have been using the new sense roms ever since incdoes made his first port of the desire HD. I know that after a while he abandoned his HD Rom in favor of the Z because it "felt" better. The odd thing is that I completely disagree. The HD port makes the inc feel larger due to the smaller font on our 3.7" screen. I've also noticed that HTC provides more widgets for the HD, even more skins. It just seems odd that none of the new devs making new sense roms have looked at the latest HD ports.
Is there any devs out there willing to build an HD Rom? I'm sure I can't be the only one who would like this as an option.
Devs please don't take this post the wrong way I really appreciate all the hard work you guys do I just wanted to hopefully generate enough interest in this that someone would be willing to pick this up.

[Q] Meizu M9 port for Desire?

Hi all.
As perhaps some of you may already know 'Meizu M9' has been somewhat ported to the 'Nexus One' some major things doesn't work yet though and I wanted to temped a dev or a good cooker to try to port this one for Desire.
I honestly believe that this ols kirf company has managed to make the most beautiful Android rom yet, hell in my opinion Meizu M9 is the sweetest looking GUI for any phone.
Link to the N1 port.
Already a thread going in Q&A and it seems opinion is split between people liking it and those not. Personally, I feel it looks like a poor version of MIUI BUT I will reserve final judgement until it's running on the Desire
It's similar to MIUI ROM, No interest in it.
I like sense...that's all
I saw the UI, and I was like "HOOOOOOLLLLLYYYYY FFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!". Its pretty much equivalent to the reaction I had when I first saw Sense UI.
Swyped from my HTC Desire running LeeDrOiD 2.3d with Tapatalk.
M9 got a better UI than sense.. except for the whole *phone app icon look n horizontial scrolling .. like to see a port of the music player n media player n settings menu

Wen can I haz Sense 3.0?

I know there are loads of sense roms out there and there's now a tonne of HD sense roms available too, but I've never really been a fan of sense.... until I saw 3.0.
Anyone know if there are any roms in the works or any ports I can flash?
I have searched and it turned up with nothing. I know it probably won't fit on NAND, but it should work with ext4.
Can't wait to try it out.
HTC have said that Sense 3.0 needs certain hardware to run properly, so it probably won't work 100% on anything other than the devices they've stated.
The Sense 3.0/Sensation ROM port to the DesireHD works to a certain degree but the screen resolution renders it useless IMO.
I'm not sure if Sense 3.0 requires a specific screen res?
I've also heard this. The thing that was giving me hope was that devs can change the resolution. It was done with Honeycomb ports to other smartphones. I suppose someone much smarter than myself could work out a way.
Or I could just wait and buy a Sensation
I have been following the guys over on the EVO section who have been trying to get sense 3 working on the EVO.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035350&page=159#
The only differences in the spec of an EVO and a Desire are the screen size 4.3" vs 3.7", EVO has a 8 megapixel vs Desire 5 megapixel. The EVO also has a front facing camera. Same screen resolution at 480 x 800, same 1GHz processor, 512 ram.
I suppose what I am saying is I am sure that once they have it sorted in the EVO forum, one of the devs from this forum might be interested in getting it sorted for us. The lockscreen on sense 3.0 is amazing, so is the 3D like home screens. If we had only those, I would be a very happy chappy indeed. Hint hint. Are any devs going to be looking at it at some point please?
As far as I can see, a leak of Sense 3.0 with the HTC Desire Screen Resolution has been found, so it should be available once the devs have worked on it, etcetera?
desire developer already have the sense 3.0 rom that have the same resolution with desire.. just wait and hoping they will port it into our beloved desire..
That would be sweet, holding thumbs until then

[Q] Original sense 4 for desire hd

So I've seen some cool htc one X roms (real sense 4) for other htc devices. My question is can we build a Real sense 4 rom for desire hd I know that it isnt easy but they built a sense 4 rom for mytouch 4g which is not a better phone compared to desire hd.

If your question stops at "can we..." then the answer to this is sure, as you can see the devs already developed ics from source (on your face htc devs) meaning it was made from scratch with no help whatsoever from the vendor (htc) now porting sense 4 is possible but it'll take some time before that because the first priority is either to wait for leaked desire hd official update for camcoder to work or coming up with a patch which'll be hard.
Not sure but i think i've seen a port with full sense 4 but not sure if it is for desire hd or did i see it in another phone section.
htc sense 4
there are 2 sense 4 roms at the moment for desire hd based on the htc one s but no camera working yet..se3nse 4 rom is primo 3.3
Its possible to port it but not sure if it will work properly because there is hardware differences the one x is a quad core phone ours is a single core so it will be verry slow however the primo s is a port from one v wich is single core so i think it will be the best
If by original you mean the full sense 4 [One x and s] i believe to have read that apart from the quad-core processor even if the DHD could theoretically run sense 4 the system partition is to small to fit full sense 4 and thats why we only get the [lite] sense 4A that comes with the one v. I might be wrong or there could be compression methods for fitting it in the DHD but it would probably slow things even more.
