Only has options for Desire Z and Desire HD... not Standard Desire
they said that first supported devices would be those, we will have to wait
Well but since i have a desire hd rom in my desire i already tried it. Kinda cool ringing the phone and knowing where it is thru the site... also i can see missed calls and incoming messeges. Htc scores again
"Desire" is what started it all, they should have enabled it for the standard desire first
Needs Sense 2.0 to work, the HD and Z have HTC Hub apps in them which connect to HTCSense.com
Fingers crossed for the next OTA for original Desire to have Email fix for Hotmail EAS and Sense 2.0 then...
has it been said us Desires users will get it?
I've read at several sites that HTC have confirmed that the original Desire will get Sense 2.0 in a OTA update soon... I really hope it's true... But I won't cry if we don't get it because I think Sense already rocks the way it is! and if I ever get sick of it there are always alternatives like launcher pro and etc...

I don't know where you get this from, but in fact some people are already running the desire hd with sense 2.2 on their original desires. Can't see why an official update for the Desire "won't fit"

Probably because they
1. are using the sd card to install the ROM
2. have removed a bunch of useful/needed stuff (like 4 from 5 sense themes) to make it fit in the device itself.
I hope we can get a custom rom that will integrate Sense 2. I don't need the official OTA. Community ROM's are far better. Would like to see a new LeeDroid with Sense 2.
Of course they could get sense 2 to fit on, this is HTC, the company that can pull rabbits from out of their arses. It doesn't have to be the same version as the HD, but supporting htcsense.com would be magic!
i've sense hd......contact,messages and foot print work.....positioning ring and block doesn't work......someone ave this working??
Positioning works fine once you use Google Maps for the first time...

I own an HD2 and loved the windows 6.5 format, now im looking at the incredible due to a change in service provider and wonder if I could put a windows rom on the incredible even though its running android. I know on the HD2 which ran windows, you could put an android rom so im wondering if it works the other way around. I have tried searching the forums and have yet to find anything that can give me a definite answer if i can or cant.
thanks in advance guys
As far as I know it has not been done on any android phone to date...
Correct me if I'm wrong...

Why? Have you ever used android? There is a very good reason it hasn't been done...once you switch you'll never want to go back.

wtf? Them are fightin words!
This will probably never happen.
Android is open source. So a conversion is more likely to move towards open source than a proprietary OS.
What you want may not be impossible, I think the community to drive towards proprietary OSes will be too small for success.
It'd probably never work right anyway... Even if you could find an image of WinMo compiled for the processor, driver issues would be everywhere. It's very unlikely that these would be something which could be corrected.

+1 Exactly, no one really wanted windows over android so everyone just ports android onto windows phones.

I agree that it hasn't been done because Android is so much better, but there are things I miss from Windows that just worked better. Mainly connecting to my VPN and using remote desktop. It just worked so flawlessly on Windows (and why shouldn't it, its the same company I know) and Android is being difficult with it. Plus there aren't any remote desktop programs that are free that is as good as the one that came stock on the windows phone.

Hi. Is there any way to install the newer Sense, like the one on Desire Z (You know, that with painting palette instead of plus in bottom right corner of the screen)
I'd love to see HTC Hub and some other new stuff on my Desire. Is there any ROM for that? If not, why?
Htc desire will get all tht stuff with next update but donno wen
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Thanks for clarifying that. Is there any, You know, less official way to do it right now? Can't believe noone has incorporated it in their Desire ROMs. Compatibility issues? Or HTC's copyright?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
look for Sense HD roms
Thanks! Will install one of them as soon as the camera gets supported. Either that or an official update - whatever comes first
PS Why are You sure there's going to be an official update? I haven't seen any HTC statement on that. Rumors, yes, but no 100% info.

The next update will bring Gingerbread to the HTC Desire. However, don't know when this will happen
Is there a potential to port MeeGo for the Desire HD?
I'm also extremely interested in a meego port for the DHD. I've used it briefly on my n900 and I believe the DHD's increased spec would run it a lot faster.
Anyone else interested in this?

Yeah, i'd also love to see Meego running on my DHD.
Maybe a similar procedure to the normal Desire would work: wiki.meego.com/ARM/MSMQSD#HTC_Desire_Meego_1.1_WIP
The HTC kernel for the DHD is also located at developer.htc.com, so maybe we could just give it a try?
The demo of the N9 looked great so I thought I should really give it a try (yes, I know the stock user interface is much more boring), but I'm stuck.
I compiled the kernel boot image from the official ace kernel sources (ace-2.6.32-g5ed1769) and the the meego root image (kickstart script is attached):
Code:
LANG=en_EN mic-image-creator --run-mode=1 --cache=mycachedir --format=loop --arch=armv7hl --save-kernel --config=handset-armv7hl-dhd.ks
Then I made an extra partition on the sdcard and copied the image to it:
Code:
dd if=meego-handset-armv7hl-dhd-1.1.99.20110621.0425.img of=/dev/sdf2
Now I wanted to boot this kernel using fastboot
Code:
fastboot -c 'root=/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 rw rootfs=ext3 init=/sbin/init rootwait noinitrd' boot zImage
But this doesn't work, it just falls back to the recovery mode..
So I really don't know what I should do now, could anybody help debugging this?
Thanks,
Lukas
Whats meego? The OS on the N9? Looks like a nice phone... but methinks it wont hold a candle to android...

Yes exactly, but without the user interface from Nokia.
I really like it because it's practically only a Linux distribution with a special user interface - and not so "trimmed down" like Android. It is also much easier to develop for this OS (it is based on the Qt Framework not a Java VM).
I would LOVE for a meego build on our desire hd..if someone can make it happen, that would be crazy awesome
My previous mobile is N900 and I still keep it. Maemo/MeeGo is very good OS and it is a shame that is not already mature system. There are some very good ideas and implementations in it.
So it will be very useful for everyone to have a possibility to have a port of MeeGo on his mobile.
Cheers.

I've made a huge step forward when I used the kernel from the Ubuntu build for the Desire HD ( [DEV] Booting Ubuntu nativ!!! )
But the UI doesn't work yet - there is a crash because no sound hardware is present/working ( https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11367 )
We can also use android apps look here http://www.gsmarena.com/alien_dalvik_will_let_you_run_android_apps_on_the_nokia_n9-news-2813.php
Will be awesome if we have meego on our dhd
Yes, and applications written for MeeGo also run under Android!

Dude i think you're awesome for trying to get MeeGo working on our DHDs!
Don't forget, xda is a developers forum so there are plenty of awesome people around the Dev section that could help you if you need. I suggest you maybe open a thread in the General section or Dev section and get things moving because this would be awesome.

+1 Open a thread on development section, i'am sure that someone will get into this, because they don't see Q&A very often, you will find a team and the progress will go faster.
Good work to you and all others who will help you!
Any news here?

I've a working rootfs, but the default UI rather ugly and there is absolutely nothing that is usable in the current state (touchscreen is working so the only thing you can do right now is to open the application menu - which is really slow, because there is no hardware acceleration - and run the qt demo application; wifi is not tested; there is no possibility for text messages or phone calls)
I might upload the rootfs after my "school diploma" (and the following party), but I doubt you want to use it.
The next step is to get the hardware rendering to work, but this seems to be almost impossible.
This would be really nice. It's such a shame that Elop won't be continuing the development of MeeGo at Nokia.
It is possible.
I had seen videos on Youtube Meego installation.
So I have to Meego Desire HD can be installed on it was discovered.
But I do not know how to do that.

Are you talking about this video?
I uploaded it a few months ago, but the port hasn't improved since then.
The major issue is that there is no open-source driver for the GPU.
But it is really easy to get the software rendering: Just follow the steps on the first page
android is better than MeeGo~
Hello everyone, I had emailed HTC yesterday about downgrading my Desire back to 2.2. and this is what they said...
I understand you installed the Gingerbread build on our developer portal and would like to flash back to 2.2 Froyo. I understand how important it is for your phone to function properly and I will be happy to assist. The Gingerbread build that was posted was not intended for North American users unless they only needed the device to test applications they were writing. We do not have a method for an end user to flash back to 2.2 at home, however if you can reply with the device serial number located on the back of the phone after you remove the back cover and the battery and the name of your cellular provider I can find out if you are able to send the phone into HTC to be re-flashed.
So in other words unless we find a way to unlock the bootloader we have to send it in to HTC which kinda sucks.
Let me know what you think!
There are people in other threads that have been given the answer fron htc support that the upcoming boot loader unlocker will unlock ALL htc phones.

If you use their online unlocking tool when it comes into use, then you fail.

ok, sure we agree that htc relesed gb as dev, and sure a lot of us thougt someone will crack the hboot soon. But crap this is a bad build...
The call function is often "hanging" a while after finising a call, after installing some of my regular apps, gb is terrible slow, the sence clock sometimes stops in time, and i could go on...
I have not read all of the posts here since the dev release of gb, but i for one is "not realy happy" with the dev gb, and would sure as hell give good money for going back to what i had before "upgrading" to gb.
Ok, I got that of my chest... someone says htc dealers can downgrade to froyo. Does anyone know of someone that can do that in Bergen, Norway?
Well, luckily for me, I do not experience any of the issues described here. From my point of view the GB update was a success.

GB works excellent for me and i have found no issues, i love it alot, only a root will be amazing to remove some main apps like gmail and maps
but i still don't know what is the Force to SD function and where to find it

Have you tried this: Move apps to SD - Unrooted Froyo Guide. Noobs Guide (from the Desire Q&A forum) ? It worked for me when I was on Stock 2.2, so it might help you too. I can't try it now, as I am already rooted and using a custom rom.
