Why was nobody active in the community asked for input on the name change? Why was it changed? Maybe I am a little off, but it is no longer the proper name. We do not have an HTC G1, we have an HTC Dream, which T-Mobile calls the G1. Seeing that this site is about HTC phones, and our love for them, shouldn't the name HTC has given the phone be the primary name?
Please change it back!
Also, the HTC Magic and the HTC Kaiser are being affected.
Added a poll! And made it ambiguous so it addresses all the other forum name changes as well.
Dream sounds so much more elegant than g1.
Spain is the only place in the world where the G1 is marketed as the HTC Dream. It's the Era G1 in Poland. Why call it the Dream?
For the life of me, I never understood why HTC's code names for devices prior to them becoming for sale, were uses here.
I say leave the names as they are now. I like the change. I don't own a HTC Rhodium, I own a Touch Pro 2!
The new site owner feels that most people (and particularly noobs) don't use the official HTC name but use the branded names. This leads to a fair amount of posting in the wrong phone section. In addition, when searching (Google say), people do not tend to search on the HTC name.
All Forums will gradually change.
This does not mean however that there may not be some errors eg HTC G1. I will report this.

Thanks for clearing that up, but couldn't we use just the most common marketing name instead of 3 (As on he Kaiser) that would help with clutter.
(From idea by pjcforpres)
Thanks Mike for the quick response! I understand the idea and intentions behind it. It was just a major shock, especially since there was no warrning of the coming change in any of the G1 forums.
I took a closer look at some of the forums that have been converted and new ones that started off this way, and it seems like a good balnce. Seems the format is HTC CODENAM: COMMON NAME; ie HTC LEO: HD2 or HTC DREAM:G1 The Kaiser title seems pretty clustered to say the least.
The subforum titles seems to be the biggest change, though... maybe cary over the title, so in the G1 forums, for example, it isn't G1; G1 Q&A; rather something a bit softer, and longer(makes selecting it on a touchscreen easier) like bringing over the main forum name; ie HTC DREAM:G1 General; HTC DREAM:G1 Q&A; and so forth.

sorry no offence ..... but i ddint get the post....
are you suggesting to change the name of xda forum itself or what else...
remove the damn G2 from hero!!!!
pleeaaase
I think it'll help new people out, as well as searches. I honestly didn't even notice the change, as I just scroll down until I see the picture of the phone that I want
Hey all,
Appreciate the feedback on the name changes. It's impossible for us to please everyone, but most of the mods and devs seemed to agree with the changes to make sure people get to the right place on the site before they start posting. By far the biggest complaint the devs have generally with the site is noobs cluttering forums with dumb questions. Anything we can do to make searching easier will improve that situation.
It's not really all THAT bad, is it?
So, for some reason i was just lurking around the Desire forums... they're seriously hurting, they are way behind in terms of development, compared to the Nexus One. Does anybody know why this might be? Since they're basically the same phone, why isn't the Desire (so to speak) neck and neck with the Nexi?
I know that the Nexus One is like the biggest badass of all the phones, and quite frankly i don't know why i'm even asking this, but i'm curious.
Because we have Cyanogen, Kmobs and many other amazing devs
It was the same if you compared the hero with the G1 and Mytouch. I think it's because of the framework of HTC and the HTC phones aren't that open as the nexus. this is why i like my Nexus
I owned a Hero and damn the development on the OS was pathetic the only one who really worked on Hero was Paul (modaco) the others did there best to. but it was nothing i even couldn't put CM on Hero. When the 2.1 came out it was ported to G1 but the hero had to wait, wait for a long time. there where some 2.1 releases for the hero but never worked 100%.

Nexarse one is a half decent phone, wouldn't say it was neck and neck with the superior desire but its ok considering they are similar. The problem is htc. I suspect a deal has been struck between google and htc giving the google phone a slight priority in terms of software release. Either way it don't matter massivley, because if people want froyo on there desire, they can get it. The same as all those nexus one users who wanted sense on there handsets,(but obviously on a lesser phone
By the way, hows that trackball holding out?

What are you, five? "Nexarse" is sure the height of witticism, just like "windoze" and "micro$oft." Sorry, boy, but the two phones are nearly identical except yours doesn't have a noise-canceling mic. Your fanboyism is wasted; it's like stamping your foot and whining that the HTC Hero is better than the Eris when the two are actually the same phone, with identical internals.

An ex-Apple fan by any chance? Your attitude's similar. And I've yet to hear of anyone's trackball falling out, ahaha. "Lesser"? Paul O'Brien recommends a Nexus over a Desire--he's got both--and I'll take his (much more knowledgeable) opinion over an immature fantard's any time.
I personally don't think development is going that badly, you have to remember the nexus one has 4 months over the release of the desire and it not being a world wide release doesn't help, hopefully things will pick up more when it gets official releases in the USA
Mod Edit: Post removed please consult the rules take that as a warning.
So... five?
Btw, the OP didn't mean it as sarcasm because this thread was originally posted to the Nexus One forums. Durrrrr.
Thread cleaned, show respect to other members rules are there to be followed.
Back on topic.
Easy, the nexus one isn't as locked down as the desire. And because a lot more people have a nexus one.
Sendt with Swype via tapatalk on my Desire.
I would have bought the nexus if it had been available because of the reasons above.
But it wasn't in Holland until now, I really do like Sense and all the fluff it adds, i'm not particularly bothered about banging a Rom onto a new device as far as i can tell it's not broken.
So only my posts get deleted, ok.
Let me try again in a more respectful and polite manner.
My initial response was to what I ASSUMED was abit of a tongue in cheek question. It got a tongue in cheek response together with my answer. It was simple sarcasm. It appears however the op posted this on the nexus forum and it was moved by moderators. The op probably did not even realize it would end up here. My response was wrong to the Equally disrespectful response that I got and apologize to anyone who saw it.
i dont know why dunbad is in trouble here for posting something that was intended to be funny
since when is it that if you post a joke you get some pompous person sitting in front of his computer with a thesaurus, dictating some sort of speech against the inhumanity of a sense of humour?
geez some people really need to lighten up
nexus one and htc desire, pretty much identical hardware wise, the nexus one has a noise cancelling mic, the htc desire has a bit more ram
nexus one runs stock android meaning its highly customizable
htc desire has htc sense which works really well, and is soon to get froyo like the nexus one
the development in the nexus one forums is SO great because youre all trying to get sense on your phones, lets face it it just takes one look at your development section to see that, what does the htc desire ACTUALLY need developed? its already got root, we CAN put whatever we want on, most people dont because it works perfect already. Froyo's readily available from the devs here, IF we want, and anyway we're getting it officially in a few days, so in all honestly, software and development wise, the htc desire wins hands down
easy as that
The nexi is great but I've noticed an issue with the "nexi." That doesn't seem to effect the desire. If you post a thread on xda nexi forum, the post somehow disappears, somehow reappears elsewhere and a little one liner appears in the subject field that says "MOVED". Its really odd. It happens loads. Go check out there general forums. Software maybe? Hardware? A bug perhaps? Don't know but either way the desire doesn't seem anywhere near as badly "effected."
People are saying this or that's better about either phone, but at the end of the day I wish I'd had got a nexi, in these difficult financial times I could have saved some money.
But anyway, I thank cgrec, but I don't see froyo coming to the desire officially anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong. But I'm convinced that this has everything to do with handshakes in smoke filled backrooms between google and htc, froyo will be a few months away yet.i hope I'm wrong.
Okay, I assume the dev forum is the right place for this, since it would involve taking things apart.
I was wondering, for those of us who like Sense (don't hit me, to each his own), has anybody ever tried to seperate it from Android and port it to non HTC devices?
There are some great new things coming down the pipe, and I am not a developer, so I don't pretend to know if this is even remotely possible.
Just a wish of mine that maybe HTC would make it available in the Market for other devices to install.
Thanks for any contructive input,
Dennis

Wrong section and then some. Try the forum section for the non HTC phone you speak of.
I don't speak of any particular phone. I have an Incredible.
And I suspect that since Sense is only on HTC phones, somebody who works with them would have to do it, if it even can be done.
I was asking because I see other devices, like the new Samsung Tablet, that I would really like if they had Sense.
Of course if HTC came out with one, that would solve my problem anyway.

Back before I got the Incredible I was following a port to the Moto Droid of SenseUI. I don't know if they ever finished because there were HUGE hurdles that had to be overcome like the RIL. It was the zeusdroid team, you can try googling them to see if any of their work comes up. Like I said its quite possible they may have bagged it because it was such a big undertaking to create a new RIL from scratch.
Hi guys,
I really like this new phone from HTC and I'm seriously considering of buying it. However, even with all the ICS improvements, I still like the original and pure googlish android 4.0 experience more than the new sense. Do you think that a fast, clean and smooth pure-ICS rom will be avaiable soon on the HTC One X? You know...I think HTC published a lot of drivers these days, so I assume it wouldn't be too difficoult to build a clean and simple ICS rom from sources...
Anyway, I hope the answer to this topic will come as a new thread containing directly some interesting download links ;D
Thanks!
A pointless thread in the Developement forum.
I'm sure we will se a CyanogenMod ROM but not because of your request..
Your wish is my command.

good answer bro
This should be asked in general. Not here.

You aren't funny. At all. I come from a wonderful experience within the Nexus development area of xda (I've got a N1), and I wanted to start sharing some ideas here in the mind of getting this HTC in the near future. I guess some people here think to be god only for the higher experience or...whatever, and they enjoy themselves answering like as more as possible.
Overall...yes, you've got a result now. I'll probably get a Galaxy Nexus, but surely not for sense-related tastes... just to avoid the need of talking again with people like you. You could have answered "surely CyanogenMod will fit your needs, buy this awesome device and you won't wait long! ;D", and you would have even so 'closed' the request, but with a smile.
A word is enough to the wise
I don't think you're wise enough anyway. You're spamming answering like that, not me. I've made an answer. Nothing forbidden or...whatsoever.
p.s.:CyanogenMod is still unavaiable for many devices that have gingerbread/ICS very well-developed from other devs. Usually, CM comes months after a stable release (official or not) has been shared. On the N1, we've ICS fully working (incl. HWA), and CM devs said we won't get their 'v.9' almost surely.
That's all.
EDIT: I think people should ask about future developments...to developer. Why should I be answered from the 'general section' users? Why should they know if developers are now or are planning of working on a pure ICS release??

Are you serious? You buy another device because of 2 people in a forum who tell their opinion?!
Just be honest and tell us that you have never wanted to buy the One X..

You do a thread which doesn't fit in the development forum and now this post:
Please tell me who is the real spammer?
I felt a decision: I won't buy the One X, the HTC Wildfire is a better smartphone without so many spamming in the forum there..
Hello everybody I just stumbled in Google to many sites talking about a new improved HOX called HOX+.
It is supposed to have improved battery and a new featured called clear voice that is supposed to improve the quality of sound on phone calls.
Does anybody know anything about this?
Do you think its just rummors or not?
The reason I am asking is that I have allready placed an order for a HOX (I wanted the white one which the retailer had run out of) and I am expecting to get it in 3-4 days.
If the above regarding the HOX+ is true it might be worth to cancel the order and be patient for one more month to get the new edition.
Thanks in advance for your help
Well we might get the clear voice ported if we have some support on that...what does it spot??? Anyways a high end device is a high end device
Who knows when it will be out?
But by the time it is, there will be rumours of something else...
Well maybe bigger battery could be useful, but it is enough what hox has already. Not sure about clear voice, i am very satisfied and dont think i would need anything clearer

Well according to some sites it will be out early Octomber.
I did some searching in the forum but I was looking under the HOX plus and variation names and found nothing.
Sorry I didnt think about searching with Endeavour C2 name.
Thanks for posting the link!
get HOX first and then HOX+ too when it release. fully supporting HTC LOL yup, i've seen that thread b4 too.
Please use the search and use existing threads instead of creating new ones.
