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.

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.

So, for almost a year now, I have HTC Desire and for about 6 months run Desire HD rom on it...
Just wondering what will be the best replacement to it in upcoming summer.
From what I saw, nothing really worth to replace for but was I wrong ?
And it need to be GSM... any suggestions will be great.
Thanks

I think Desire S is a good option
Sensation is worth it desire s is basically the desire with software we've ported and is as fast on data++
I would wait for one of the new dual core phones. Sounds like there are going to be some badass ones coming out in the last half of 2011.
for me:
dual core,
tegra or better
4.3" or bigger screen (desire is too small for me)
the important ones:
must be rootable and have community support like the desire. can't rely on carriers/manuf to upgrade phone
wait for sensation or evo 3d gsm
these are the future because desire/incredible S
came out at a wrong time they won't be upgradeable to sense 3.0 unless by ports thus, their updates will be very limited like our official gingerbread update we're still on sense 1.9 :'(
but i'm running an S rom
and i know these will be my replacement phones

HTC sensation or Evo 3d fits your bill perfectly
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Definetely going for the Sensation!
I will get SGS2. I think Samsung did better job than HTC this year - better hardware in a smaller package.
Thank you all. I think too that desire S is not a proper replacement because it didn't really bring any upgrades so I wait a little bit more.
Not interested in other manufactures since I really like htc.

in november? i'd imagine that there would be something better out by then.
1080p recording would be decent too and i kinda like the way LG is going
The HTC rep gave me a seek preview of the sensation yesterday at the gadget show and it is sensational, it was a pre release and had an lcd screen instead of the super LED that will be fitted, it also had some pre release software but was super quick with the dual core.
That is my next phone after the desire

I'd get the HTC Sensation or a variant of it. Once it comes out, it will be the only real upgrade from HTC that we know of, all other phones are kind of on the same level.
That of course, if you want to stay with HTC.
After I saw it's specs, it is lead replacement for me for now.

Same here! My new phone MUST have at least these features
I'd go for the Sensation if i had to, but actually i think i'll wait till the first 2ghz dual-core hits the floor
Why on earth would you want to replace a perfect phone?!
I really wanted to get an Incredible S its a nice size and a nice looking device. But it like the Desire S seems to have lost the HTC DNA with the bootloader now being signed and it being hard to crack. Its out for 2 months and still not rooted. Desire is still better than these devices IMO. Same might be story for sensation
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
Sent From My HTC sensation (desire with rcmix s )
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.

Any one can port this ROM for one V, or stock ICS like galaxy nexus or nexus S? its really clean and fast for our small one v
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602378
Right now we don't have a dev actively working on it. mmmcfc started a thread, but from what I understand his harddrive is broken and he doesn't own a One V, so I don't know if this project is getting anywhere.
[ROM][WIP] Cyanogen Mod 9 for HTC One V
Hopefully another Dev will start soon.

yeah i would love to use vanilla ICS on HTC One V. HTC Sense consumes lots of RAM!
HTC Sense makes the phone feel sluggish while multitasking between messaging, people, call dialer, yahoo messenger, whatsapp, tweetdeck, talk, and gmail.
Biggest problem with Sense is the stock messaging app really. Just awful. Slow, unreliable, cumbersome to use.
We would have better luck trying to port ROMs from phones with the same SOC. So Desire S, Desire Z, Desire HD, etc.
HTC One XL/AT&T HTC One X - Sense 6 Android 4.4.2…: http://youtu.be/GlRQLlyLhuY
Hmm sense 6
Why you post this video in this section?
Maybe you want give hint to help devs port sense 6 rom on this model?
Just curious [emoji57]
Tap via Tapatalk
Full sense 6 will not be ported. Check out viper x as its has parts of sense 6 ported...even they won't attempt it because it gives way to many errors in general ! So let the dream go is my opinion. The device is outdated for many devs and have jumped ship to at least the M8. And most of the time when something like this is posted it only counts for the evita version as it has different hardware to our international one x.
It's not gonna happen
