Hello every one
I have a HTC Desire, I have goggled about the new update to android 2.3 and I found a lot of people getting very angry about the delaying of this update
I am just wondering ....about the benefits of this update and the differences that it will bring to the phone?
And also for the rooted phone can I update using the normal way?
(i.e setting>about phone>System software update) I heard that this way will make me lose my root or may break my phone.
Or is it better to wait for the custom room? does it deference from the original update? and which is better?
Sorry for the many Question as I am new in this stuff

You can't update rooted phone OTA (System software update),
but I think custom ROMs will be still ahead (e.g. with Sense 2.1/3.0 stuff), even if HTC releases 2.3
some bugfixes for a start.
they say that GB is faster than FroYo too.
but they finally fixed the mail app for a start so it will set up with hotmail EAS which is nice.
And they fix bug in google calendar,contacts and picasa they found out on froyo and other versions of android except GB, that some informations are send through wi-fi un-encripted and that brings user in danger.

But the main downside is crappy battery. Well thats for my phone

Battery life is much improved with 2.3 for me anyway.
When the phone is idle it doesn't use as much power as Froyo did.
To be honest, if you're happy enough to root I would just go ahead and try a 2.3 rom. LeeDroid is super stable.
Not only that but midmost of the popular roms will get updates regularly and have great support.

But if I install the new custom ROMs 2.3. Does this mean that I am running Android 2.3 ?
i.e if some application required android vesrion 2.3, can I run this application on this custom ROMs or not ?

One can update a rooted phone with an ota (over the air) update, but one will loose root excess.
I hope I'd get mobile data working again. It freezes all the time when dropping from H to 3G. upload arrow just freezes on and radio doesn't respond for a while.
This appeared after previous smaller update during winter.
And what is it? Do you guys think we might get official ICS soon-ish?
Looks like general bugfixes, ICS will probably never come officially.
The version after update is 2.42.405.4
What the hell? And I personally think that we have a big chance for Android 4.0
Android version is still 2.3.3 and HTC Sense is 2.1... ehhh
root it, go CM.

No

Why not Root it?
2.3.5?
yes..its 2.3.5....
long answer it is and will stay at that since we are never getting official ICS and the later versions of GB are only updates for the nexus(more like patches actualy)

I don't mind about GB, just wanted to make sure it's 2.3.5 since it includes Hebrew fonts.
Hey,
I have HOX,
Android version 4.0.4
HTC Sense version 4.1
Software number 2.17.401.2
HTC SDK API Level 4.23
I would like to update my Android version to version to 4.1. I was looking here to find it without succeed.
Where could I find stock rom version 4.1? If there's no way to update to Stock Rom, which Rom do you recommend to update?
Thank you!

Do you ask? This is the last stock version I found here. I know HTC announced on July they'll release 4.1. They did release it?

What is your recommendation =: To wait until it will release or to switch to costume rom?

If you don't care about sense features then go ahead and flash a Jelly Bean ROM.
Personally, I think that the Sense 4.1 update has already made it pretty smooth but still, JB is somewhat smoother by a marginal amount.
I previously used a Jelly Bean ROM but came back to sense because it seems to have better battery life.
Can I simply flash AHRD 17.1 on my HTC One X(o2_102)?
I tried to find more information on the other threads but I found no real answer...
Im on HBOOT 0.96, is there any way to update?
No, you have to wait for o2 to update you to JB, then you can go custom

At the moment JB is only out on unbranded handsets. To run JB you have to have the update firmware but this is only available on unbranded handsets that have had the JB update. Until you get the update from your carrier you won't be able to run a JB ROM based on Sense
