very true and a very good job man the reason iphone is so popular because its advertised as the best phone and with the functions than none of other phones have, which is obviously a lie, but a person whos not into mobile phones will obviously go for a phone thats popular etc......
HTC should buy it out from you and make it an advert in TV

Wow that is amazing very convincing!
Also nice to see you not cutting away anything in between like on the apple adds, where they somehow manage to skip any loading screen on apps

Dude, I shared your video on my Facebook! I loved every second of it!

Excellent! Can't wait to show this to my ("i'll buy anything shinny from apple ") friend,just to piss him off ))

This is a top job man, says it all pretty much

Well done on the video... At least now im not in need to tell everyone how awesome Android and the Desire are... Ill just link the vid and im done

You sir have found a new fan !! this is brilliant - I lol'd at the Apple ads and wished there was a response - and here it is ... haha loving every bit of it .. Would ;love to see the face of my Apple Fanboy friends!

The iPhone just got OWNDED ..... AGAIN lol

great video, they should use it on the HTC website as well as shopping sites.
If it wasn't for the overheating of 3 motherboards, I can't really fault the Desire. Very responsive and a joy to use. I will miss it. My replacement Galaxy S just isn't as quick.

What the...where's the Sense UI? You took all those gorgeous widgets...it could've been a great Ad.

lvnatic he's just using a custom launcher. whether the sense widgets are great is a question of taste i believe. Personally i like them but the alternatives on the market is just as good, and i really like the speed on aosp roms So i don't plan on going back to sense based roms anytime soon.

Some thoughts...

Hello folks, hope that everything's going great out there with your phones.
I have some thought's about the HTC Wildfire S..
Sadly, it seems that it's not going to get rooted in a while (unless you're a fool to buy the XTC clip), and even if you do that - WHERE ARE THE ROMS?! I can only see just one custom rom on this forum, and it's probably similar to the original, i suppose that's because there aren't even any screenshots of it!
Alpharev X was really a life saver, because they actually managed to overcome the ugly S-ON on the HTC Wildfire. But talk about getting disappointed when they wrote that some things didn't work out on the HTC Wildfire S. I think that someone from Alpharev X wrote;
"you're better off getting the desire S and/or up.
much better devices.
Wildfire S is just old **** in a new package."
WELL - WTF is Wildfire then?!
I actually read that 4 times just to make sure that it actually came from Alpharev x.. Thanks for that guys..
Sadly, i think that our WF S won't be S-OFF in a while, and if it does, people are going to forget it completely and custom roms won't exist for it.
Just read the Wildfire forum, people are launching new roms almost everyday!
Just my thoughts.
(btw don't complain on my English, you wouldn't write as well either if you talked 4 languages as i do)

You're right, Alpha guy with high level of culture and interpersonal skills ( maybe gay as for me...) told me the same on IRC, when I stupidly ask for marvel status ... Screw them.
Personally I'm waiting for HTC unlock, maybe near September we'll know something more ...
ROMs for Buzz are weird as for me, maybe 'cause I'm familliair with Cyanogenmod from previous device I can live without Sense at all.
Cheers

Im thankful that they worked on the Htc Wildfire, but it's REALLY a big shame writing that WF S is some old ****. Maybe i don't wan't to buy a f-ing Desire because it feels like carrying a eee pc in your pocket.
Let's hope that HTC will help us Have a nice day man!

Wildfire modding and continued use...

So I have a wildfire, I was on a tight budget and I bought it when it first released...I love this phone and it's still going strong overclocked at 768 mhz with CM 7.1, and I'm gonna have to keep it for while (I'm broke) ...but my question is, I'm insanely grateful to all the devs still working on the wildfire, thanks so much guys you make our day...but if they all get the latest and greatest Android phones, lots of them keep on at the wildfire stuff...what's the incentive, just wondering
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Most devs don't sell their Wildfire after they upgrade, so, it's easy to continue working on it. If they sell it, they stop developing. As far as I can tell, only schiznik (Devnull / Oxygen) doesn't have a Wildfire of his own.
Another "incentive" (if you can call it that, I won't) is that the Wildfire section is far less crowded. One look at the popular phones forums, and they get excess of 2000+ posts per day and get >1 new ROM per day (figuratively speaking), so, its extremely easy to lose track of your own work in the crowd.

Thanks, that makes sense, the Devnull ROM is entirely AOSP if i'm not mistaken?
And what would be a correct word other than "incentive" ?
So essentially to get exposure for your work and better detailed help and progress when building ROMS and development, people choose these forums...

It's all for fun and community (Unless someone is a professional). When I used to be a theme creator for Nokia's S60 Symbian Devices some years back, it always gave me a sort of buzz to contribute to the community and be appreciated for your efforts.
Also, there's always a desire to get the maximum out of your device. If this didn't exist, probably, dev forums would never have existed.

That's true, the community (myself included) are grateful for you guys cause otherwise we'd still be on stock 2.2 Froyo from HTC (boring!!)...and there's always things the manufacturer doesn't want you to do on their product...the devs just show how much better a product (in this case the WildFire) can be than it's original form thanks to some creative work and effort...

Yeah people, we are right back into the game

Huge thanks to the admins for listening to our voices!
Let's hope for a stronger development for our WFS from now on.
Here we come steaming from behind!

What?! Why are you doing it?

Will never be undone. The scene will die even quicker now it is not on the main forum page.

Well, this is just not justified. The original HTC Wildfire keeps its position on the "Promised Land" while its successor is trashed here?! Other than that I can call some more devices which are less "popular" than Wildfire S but they still get to keep their position on the front page.
The main outcome is that the Wildfire S Android development will drop vigorously. Not that it's something special right now. XDA doomed our phone to development mediocrity and there is nothing we can do about it!

Always the pessimist, but I've gotta admit, it's not going anywhere at all.

I don't understand why.
If the devs work together, the job will be done faster.

Read title ^

Without wanting to offend mods or admins, I think that the decision to put a 8-9 month old phone on the "Legacy & Low Activity Devices" area is an enormous disrespect to us (I'm being SOFT), owner of such devices.
It's something that seems to be made without even thinking about the consequences.
There are many other devices that should be dead on the main forum page for ages, but still have their position of "glory" there.
Those devices were launched two or more years ago, without any future upgrade in sight. Do you think this is rational? Honestly! I don't think so.
I think that now, even more than before devs should stick together and show that the Wildfire S is NOT a legacy device and much less a low activity device.
I didn't come to this forum for 2 or 3 days due to a very tight work schedule and now I saw this... I am shocked and disappointed with XDA.
My post has nothing to do with the existence of XTC-Clips and the possibility of rooting the WFS almost all around the world. I think that matter is offtopic.
It's just plain nonsense to "archive" a phone with a recent RUU update, with development going on, with users posting every single day, with users needing support and with HTC still having plans for this phone.
It's like HTC saying:"Your phone is 8 months old but we decided that it isn't supported anymore. Don't ask why. We don't care about you."
Sorry for my angry post. Once again I want to say that I don't intend to disrespect who manages this forums. I appreciate your work but this action is IMHO 1000 steps backwards for a respectable community of WFS owners.
Please, pretty please with sugar on top, consider undoing this.
Like other user said, you still have the "old" Wildfire on the main forums and already "deleted" the successor. Where is the logic?!
Please don't make the HTC Wildfire S be invisible. It's like you hate this phone and intentionally want it do die early. That's not fair. I would call it poor judgement but I'm afraid of hurting your feelings. I'm not here for that.
I like to help as much as I can. I have a hard job so my time isn't that much... but still I've shown that if people need my help, I try to be responsive.
Many people upgraded their WFS with my help. I don't want to be pretentious or have credit. I just expect this behavior from XDA, that usaully is a good and reliable source of information.
My most honest respect!

I totally agree with you miguelca.
WFS should be on top of the XDA page because he is still unlokcable.
This phone should be the priority of the community

I agree. The WFS is a great phone. Please put it back

It's not about the S-Off. In my country - Bulgaria, I can easily go and pay about 15 euros for that service. No problem. What really bothers me is that our phone is going to sink in oblivion before it has been given the chance to grow and develop!
I'm sorry XDA, but this is freakin' unjust and unacceptable!
miguelca, kudos for your elaborate opinion!

Where is the moderator of this section?Pls respond couse this is nonsence...

I can't believe.
It's not 10 years old, it's only few months old!!!
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA App

You get the feeling HTC is afraid of this low cost phone and wish they hadn't released it?
Now XDA joins the sweep it under the table bandwagon...What next. Someone comes in the middle of the night and steals it off my desk and "disappears" it.

wildfire on main page and WILDFIRE S on Legacy & Low Activity Devices, u must be kidding adm.....

I'm thinking HTC has asked or paid for our WFS to be pushed aside, maybe because they are finished developing for it and have no plans on unlocking bootloader. If so someone (XDA) has sold us out.

Unofficial [ICS 4.0.3] D-Sense 4.0 general thread

Hey, since official thread was closed based on Shaky's request, I have opened new, unofficial one, so that there is no need to spam development threads where it does not belong to. There was starting some talk about Kernel 3.0, maybe some experienced ones can enlight this topic.
No offensive or dirty words, please.

To much smoke with no fire...
Not really sure that there will be something from it.
But let's wait and see.

Dafuq? Two threads plus development not enough?

all Shaky's threads are locked so not enough...

personaly i would say get the message... 3 threads locked. message recieved

Sent from my HTC Desire

LOL I clearly remember when Shaky appeared on the Desire forums before the device was bought, there was this guy from DHD forum who commented " Oh shaky you're now here! After shaking a lot and not baking anything in the DHD" .. hahaha.. I feel really sorry for all of you who kept saying"oh shaky plz do sense 4 for us and you're god and what not!" All rubbish..
What I find hard to understand that why would a dev never talk about what's working and what's not behind the scenes ??? Not even in dev forum? People stopped writing in dev as per his request.. what happened at the end ???
All bull****! I'm not saying that he can't do something, only he knows better, but the way people have been treated in his forums are disgusting.. it never happened in threads in the likes of leedroid or coolexe etc.. everyone was given a chance to express and be heard..
I feel these new so called dev are "noobs" than normal users the people are maintaining their threds

yes, I want them to talk about it, and omg, they were locked because Shaky wanted it, not moderators (except of some warnings in development thread). If it was because he did not want to read about it or any other reason, it does not matter, I just don't want this topic to die (when still some hope is alive, maybe).
Back to topic, in Droid Incredible forum I have read that PureMotive had some talk with Shaky and sbryan like 4 days ago and that guy sbryan is most probably looking into that audio issue... we will see

Conclusion : leave shaky alone, he's working hard for us and there is no need to make him under pression.
About this topic, mmmh ... too words, not enough acts ?

To me this thread looks like disrespect to shaky coz he closed two of them already clearly for a reason.
And now again will be the same everybody taking and nobody can actually provide even a simple logcat, you know how many tutorials with step by step explanations have been posted on xda lately for everything: porting ics, compiling kernel, compiling roms from source, kernel optimizations, modding,etc do why non of the talkatives take some time off their life and start working on porting sense 4 and/or kernel 3.0? Seriously this thread would be so much productive rather than waiting and pushing one person to the edge?m?
Does it make sense?
If I had time to waste for ungrateful users I'd work on this myself- however real life and work for now are more important to me.but I bet if any of you read the tutorials and got to know insides of android you could port it yourself. Even DK and Sandvold and Sebastian started like this by experimenting.

Good to see other people working on Sense 4.0 ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28222255&postcount=1447

When shaky was soliciting donations to buy his Desire you just had to check his history here at XDA to realize he is a prima donna that will probably let you down (if you chipped in for his phone). As the saying goes...he's all hat but no cattle. So I stayed well away.
Now, when laidbacknikez was doing the same (getting donations to buy a new Desire for developing) I did donate to him. He not only sent out a personal thank you note, he has delivered a fantastic ROM in spades...and I would bet he will give us Jellybean a well.

everyone should just LEAVE IT unless they are going to help out with something productive.
if you compared the Nexus One thread and the Desire thread for the same shaky dev thread and the nexus one had like 3 pages, while the desire had about 100 in a short space of time.
I know people are excited and stuff but try and keep it to yourselves unless you have a bugreport or something useful to contribute.
in the meantime enjoy Gingerbread or ICS AOSP on your desire.
