Mod edit: I've removed a swear word from your post. Please remember that people of all ages frequent these forums.
I know this has been asked in the past and the answer was no since HTC hadn't released any 2.3 based updates.. but now there has been one outside of N.America, I was curious to know if anyone had taken up the cause for our phone? I know somethings would be missing for our device, but couldn't they be adopted/edited from the HD or froyo Sense Like previous ROMs?

The answer still would be no.
I was hoping for a more defined answer.. possibly with a little explanation?
We see Roms ported from other devices constantly.. hell that's where half the Roms start.. as a port from another phone.. HD Sense (or new sense depending on Rom) is a port from another phone.. and iirc the phone that got the 2.3 sense was a foreign version of the HTC HD2 which would make it even easier wouldn't it

Devs only port roms if there is a massive cry out for them. Also, I more or less read the whole thread and it seems that devs are having trouble with porting it. HD2 is WM 6.5 so it already is completely different. I don't know. Ask a dev why. Just wait till q2 when Desire gets official update.
Sense would have to be re-written to work with 2.3 and it's far too much of a ballache, it's not as simple as taking 2.3 and putting Sense from 2.2 on top of it. Better to wait on the Desire S ROMs to leak and just port it to the Desire
I think you guys are understanding this wrong... THERE IS a gingerbread official release with Sense according to the XDA news story.There is even a full dump of it in that thread.. I was asking if anyone had looked into building a desire Rom based on it.

When you say there should be an update in the next 2-3 days, there is no way HTC will release Gingerbread with Sense 2.3 to the HTC Desire, HD and Z before the Desire S is released in the UK. And after that it will still be some time to let the exclusive features of the new Incredible, Desire S and Wildfire S to take off? Otherwise what would be the point in the new phones, everyone would just wait for a software update right? Personally i'm still running a branded Orange Froyo ROM, the second an official build of Gingerbread with Sense 2.3 is released i'll de-brand and jump on that.
I remeber when i had my N1 htc sense got ported is anyone looking in to porting htc sense to the SGN?

I don't think this is gunna be the final product, but it gives you a sense of what it looks like on current htc devices
and ice cream sandwich does not look good with sense lol, htc needs to decide which one to go with.
For the first time, I can actually say the stock android ui looks pretty on its own, but thats just me.

Hey all,
I'm not sure if this is strictly where I should be posting this, but as a newer user I can't post in the dev section.
I'm getting a one x very soon from tmobile as an upgrade, but after some research I'm aittle unsure. I have tried the stock ics on some tablets and it is great. I have also tried the sense version on an HTC sensation. I think of the two I preferred the stock vanilla ics. This was an opinion shared with Joshua Topolsky after he had used the htc one x for the Verge. So I suppose I'm posting to ask, what do you think? If you have used or own an HTC one x which do you prefer? And is there a chance that a stock ics rom will be made available by the dev community?
Cheers!

The standard Sense for the HTC Sensation is 3.x even if you have ICS whilst the One X comes with 4.0 which differs quite a bit.

I've used AOSP ICS and I'm okay with what HTC have done with Sense 4.0 on the One X. There are a couple minor issues like using Locations instead of Google Maps in contacts but you can fix that by installing a utility or rooting the phone.
I've not had any problems with the One X firmware or hardware but there seems to be quite a few reports from people who have. The One range is brand new for HTC and the first to come with ICS as standard so there will be some teething troubles.
If you accept the upgrade, can you return the phone still? If so then your best bet is to just do that. Get the upgrade and just try out the One X with Sense 4.0.

Yes. There will eventually be an AOSP version of One X firmware. No idea when or who will do it but it is pretty much guaranteed that somebody will do something for it.
Also until a Rom is released you can use apex launcher. It is super stock. Lol it really the best launcher for a vanilla experience.

Don't know if I am posting this in the right place. Forgive me.
Anyone know if a porting of the HTC One S stock ROM to the EVO would be possible? I know we're very close to the initial release. Just curious.
Everything would have to be resized due to screen differences. We have a better chance with a HTC one V port since its WVGA display like our evo
