As Android Kit Kat 4.4 is released, is some one building or plan to build custom ROM for HTC Desire (Bravo)?
Have searched everywhere but no luck as yet.
Look in the Dev Section , there is thread by nikez his 4.3 Android , in there u can see picture that nikez is working on K3 and on KitKat

It's a shame there's no 4.4 for old devices... Google complains there's big fragmentation in Android versions but at the same time it does not even update system for their Nexus One phone which could easily handle A4...

If the companies would make Android 4.0+ for old devices , few people would buy the new ones .. well maybe not few but less .. and if course , it cost them money to develop the Android 4.0+ on these devices .. All they want is money so .. no hope for official updates.

Fragmentation comes from morons who try to completely rewrite the framework and are too lazy or slow to update it with the core android ie touchwiz...sounds like a dirty priests chat room name anyway.

Does anyone have a link to where I could download the rom?
Thanks
You can always find the latest nightly here.
Just have a look at this section. There are several 4.4 ROM's. I'm using the Evervolv Rom with the nightly from 17.12.2013 and it works like a charm. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766550)

I've been following the development of Cyanogenmod 9 and 10 with growing interest and with the roms growing ever nearer to completion I was wondering if someone could tell me what the advantages are of Cyanogenmod 9 & 10 (other than being Jelly Bean).
What exactly are the advantages of CM over the Stock HTC roms?
cyanogen is a mod that every one from a android newbie to Google Android creator's knows... in simple words it gives u experience of stock ics or jb as it shld and released by Google and without any useless stuffs or ui's that are forced into ur phone against ur wish by the manufacturer i hope now its clear? if u wanna know more ask ur friend Google. com

That's how far my knowledge already went, I guess what I'm trying to figure out is, how does it compare to stock HTC on the One V? Faster/More stable? Any features that the stock lacks?
It can he a bit fester, because its missing the bloatware and ofcause its Vater because cm10 runs JB . And in asome Roms there are New tweaks linke the statusbar control.

Yes, if Lloir and maxwen see that cm9 still needs another RC (Release Candidate) Then yes they will release another RC before Final.
Rumours about android 5.0 are starting to spread and I'd thought to make a discussion topic about it here.
Google says android 5.0 is more optimized than Jellybean. Thus so it can also run well on devices with 512 ram.
We havent seen that kind of android since gingerbread.
Now we all know HTC left our One V hanging regarding Jellybean, of course there are Jellybean ROM developers but it would be nice if HTC hooked us up.
Even though HTC might not roll the update for Key Lime Pie out to our One V's, I am still very curious how this version of android would run on our devices.
Let me know what you think by commenting below,

I thought 4.3 jb was gonna be announced. I'm positive though that HTC won't upgrade us at all. So custom Rom development is the only way we would get klp when google announces and finishes it.
The hero CDMA can run jb (after being dropped at eclair) so so I'm sure our phones will run 4.3 and 5 unofficially.

To be honest I'm not sure HTC would revisit old devices but like you said, there'll be unofficial ways. It's like I got my A3333 Wildfire running CM10.
So one rumored feature of Android 4.4 KitKat is firmware availability to older devices. Does that mean we will see it on our Desire HDs??
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Just because it CAN run on older devices doesn't mean developers will develop it. And HTC certainly won't. So the answer is, as it is every time there's a new Android OS announcement, if a dev devs it.
Its near impossible for HTC to develop it as they gave up with 4.0 IceCreamSandwich. As Miss B so eloquently put it, just cause it can doesn't mean Devs will.

hi guys,
after the release of the nexus 5 and the announcement of android 4.4 kitkat, it seemed that the focus is to bring the new os to as many devises as possible, and the say it will work well on phones with as little as 500mb of ram.
if this is so, do you think that a 4.4 rom for our dear old desire world be better than say any 4.x roms?
anyways, this is my first post so sorry if its wrong in any way
I believe that the community version 4.4 Kit Kat will follow in short time. It is last chance for my desire to wake up.

This is good news. That means that Android 4.4 isn't that different from Android 4.3. We will probably see a build for the Desire as well.
hopefull

I have also got the launcher app and a few others from the nexus 5 system dump. I'm still on VJ jb 4.2.2 v6.3. And it works quite well. I might try to build a 4.4 ROM for our beloved desires , but its still gonna be a long way off as 4.3 is still in its alpha/beta stage.
Anyways I'm looking forward to bring a new lesh of life to our dyi g desire.

I know absolutely nothing about compiling roms let alone actually porting them, but if somebody out there can get their hands on the new Android L source from the SDK (Nexus 7 i believe?) and compile it for the Desire HD/Inspire 4G (ace) then that would be so awesome. Anyways, just a request. Figured if it can run KitKat why not Android L.
I don't think the full source is available yet, only some GPL parts.
Also, it's not quite as simple as KitKat -> L. A good developer with the time might be able to, but it's tough.
Does anyone know if the hardware of the desire hd is generally compatible and has enough ressources to run android lollipop?
Well now a full AOSP source is out for all nexus devices
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
very interested to see if the amazing people can make android L 5.0 run on our htc dhd phones , from what i have heard the requirements are lesser than previous android builds ? and new compiler ?
If I knew how to compile I would do anything, including getting a Linux distro and waiting overnight for the compilation, but again, I have no idea how. Except I know you should use BBQ Linux
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There doesn't seem to be any discussions in this devices forum for future development
Now that source is available and there are early "working" custom builds for several other devices ....
Are there any developers still working with Desire HD who would/are looking at a Lollipop ROM??
Wildfire S got lollipop today so lets hope for DHD too

Where did you see that?
Didn't find it at XDA or Google?
When I remember correctly, the Wildfire S has an ARMv6 for which Android Runtime (ART) has no support.
And in Android 5 Dalvik VM was removed and ART is default Runtime.

Are you talking about the OpenDesireProject, under android_device_htc_ace, on github?
I see they've pushed cm-12, although I'm a complete newbie in Android. They'll probably finish the work before I really get into the subject, but I hope I can learn and possibly help with the development. My old HTD Desire HD and me will be very thankful!
