[Desire General] MohamedYousri:
Thanks a lot very useful post ,,,

I will ditch my N8 for Android/HTC ,,, I really loved Android and HTC from using Wildfire for 10 days only !!!

mmmmm , DHD Roms working on Desire ?? very good and new info for me...

and i am agree with you that there is no much difference at specification just bigger screen and camera but ditching 12MP Cam - the best i ever used - means that i don't care that much for it

so your are happy with desire and it's worth it's money,,, is there any news about official update from HTC ???

and what is DHD latest official version right now ??
[Desire General] MohamedYousri:
Comparing DHD to Incredible S latest HTC one core device they are the same !!! and i think that DHD is even better !!!
[Desire General] heraSK:
yeah, x6 had much better camera, and camera is my only problem with desire. but the phone (any phone) is never meant to be a substitute for real camera..so no real prob here....

DHD rom for desire is actually a port, so desire can run it. it's not THE rom from DHD. with that said, you can put virtually any rom into desire but with more or less tweaking to the point where hardware eventually becomes incapable of running much newer rom. therefore sense 3.0 stuff are greatly tweaked for desire to be able to run it. it's not like the real thing but pretty much close. and it's getting better every day... modders here are the wizards, i tell you...

so yeah, i'm happy with desire, didn't regret spending the money on it at all! :D

as for the official update from HTC, there were many contradictory statements, and the final one is that there WILL be gingerbread update but no word on sense update. you can find it in desire-general section.
[Desire General] Murrzeak:
I'm using Desire since April 2010, so it's more than a year now. I was very excited about the whole Android thing. And still am. But the phone itself has some big issues. First of all is the huge lack of internal memory. I can't even install the most necessary apps. Secondly it's the overheating problem. My Desire was one of the first Amoled batches and it had issues with the SOC. While using processor demanding apps like navigation, flash playback etc. It was constantly rebooting. Had to repair it. For 3 times. Then it's the speaker and battery. They both are weak. After my previous E61 Desiree's speaker really sucks. Camera is decent too. But in overall I still like, though I would really consider buying SGS back then. Now I'll wait for another year or so. Btw I'm now using MIUI ROM and it gave a second breath to Desire. Good luck with buying!
[Desire General] MohamedYousri:
Thanks all for your help , i will back again when i get the final prices for D , DHD and Ds as i will not buy it from my country , my cousin will get it to me so i am waiting the prices from him :D

if you will choose between Desire,Desire S and Desire HD , What will you choose ? and why ?

and if you have other suggestions - even if not HTC - let me know
[Desire General] vnvman:
I'd go for dhd, bigger screen and same specs of ds, regular desire is a bit outdated compared to them both imo...
[Desire General] heraSK:
+1
[Desire General] MohamedYousri:
What about HD Games like Asphalt HD and NFS , are their performance good at this devices ?!
[Desire General] vnvman:
Those are working good, but ofc latest tegra games will run no more than decent, adreno 205 is a relatively weak gpu compared to the latest hardware goodness like tegra 2 SOCs...
[Desire General] Beso:
best buy at the moment is Samsung Galaxy S 2 for 400€.
[Desire General] erklat:
400€ is an awful lot for something to deserve the best buy tag.
[Desire General] vnvman:
Yes, 400€...in your dreams...

[General Questions and Answers] eNRGy:
Hi all. Apparently I'm not allowed to post this in the HTC Desire forum in the relevant thread as I'm new.

I installed from this thread: "[ROM] GingerBurst [Sense 2.1] 27/Jun | Stable Data2SD | Unlimited memory" on my HTC Desire. (Works perfectly, rather pleased as it's my first try. Now got lots of "internal" storage.)

Line one of the instructions reads:

"Wipe data/Factory reset from Recovery (CWM/Ra)" which I did.

Can I restore any part of the backup I made in ClockworkMod Recovery? Ideally I want my WiFi settings and the settings for a couple of more complicated apps restored. It would also be nice to get all my previously installed apps back too.

Advance Restore gives me a choice of boot, system, data, cache and sd-ext.

Is it possible? I'm guessing I don't have the right sort of backup. Is it a bad idea to try it, starting with "data"?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] eNRGy:
I answered my own question. Best thing to do was restore the vanilla state of my phone with ClockworkMod's "restore backup". Boot the phone, installed Titanium from the market. Took a backup of everything with that. (On the schedule tab you can make it backup system+apps all in one go) and then start again with the new ROM installation. When done I was easily able to restore just the bits I wanted with Titanium. Very neat. This is probably incredibly obvious stuff but I hope it helps another noob like me. :)
[General Questions and Answers] mcforwin:
I have some questions regarding the upgrade from supernova to gingerburst!

Since I am not able to post on the main Gingerburst site, I have to ask here!

Do I need to do the upgrade from Supernova to Gingerbread like a new fresh install or just flash the rom and then flash da2sd reinstaller immediately?

Currently using Supernova 1.0.2.8 (It actually works without flaw and much faster than 1.0.2.6 for me) S-on. Hope to see someone help me answer my querry!

Thank you in advance!

xD
[General Questions and Answers] eNRGy:
I think you still have to do wipe/factory reset. Use Titanium to backup your apps and settings and it's pretty painless to restore them. You're still upgrading from one to the other so I think you don't do the reboot. Flash the rom and then flash da2sd reinstaller immediately. That's how I understand it.
[General Questions and Answers] mcforwin:
Thx, will try that out!

One more thing, any chance of getting the new sense 3.0 into gingerburst to replace sense 2.1?
[General Questions and Answers] mcforwin:
I was wondering if this rom is still not listed on the UOT kitchen?

Wish to make some personal modification!

[General Questions and Answers] mcforwin:
Big change from supernova to gingerburst

They are having quite a different structure so I guess I'll have no choice but to do a fresh install of rom.

Also, they have changed the bootanimation location to data/local and adding downanimation!

Damn, a change from supernova to gingerburst, have to remake my bootanimation and customize a whole new downanimation!

[General Questions and Answers] gqneon:
Cool

I was wondering the same thing (albeit on a different ROM / base) ... not sure why I haven't been using the Titanium backup to restore since I bought the thing a while ago - it's just so easy with CMW I missed the obvious. Was tired of spending an hour restoring apps and settings, especially multiple email accounts and messages.

- 10 DKP for me.

thanks for the reminder!

[Nexus S General] OuncE718:
I would definitely buy the next Nexus phone as long as its dual core, 720p or higher video recording, nice screen and better battery life. I hope the next Nexus phone will bring something groundbreaking to table.
[Nexus S General] Paleryder:
This is great news imho
[Nexus S General] sunder74:
Yeah its supposedly quad core with a 720p display. Should be a beast.
[Nexus S General] fraspas:
I hear it's going to have a 4D display with a holographic keyboard
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
i hear they are ditching lithium ion batteries for electrically charged kitten blood.....

on a side note id be content that samsung gets it again
[Nexus S General] sunder74:
Nah ground unicorn horn and 104 octane. But seriously by what's in circulation the next Nexus should set the pace. I'm kind of surprised Sammy got it....I guess having samoled on lock helps. Not to mention the gpu in the nexus s and galaxy devices is realllly good.
[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
well, they also say that probably not only samsung will bring ICS, would you buy a Motorola or an HTC device if they were shown in the same time?! =o)
[Nexus S General] jonnythan:
The only things I want from the N' are a higher-res, sharper display, 1+GB of RAM, and dual core.
[Nexus S General] sunder74:
Me too. I want a stripped down powerhouse. I theory the "google" phone should be the pace setter or at least in my opinion. The NS didn't make the leaps that the N1 had.
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
after seeing all the results from first gen dual cores i cant imagine anything topping the orion (enxyosone or whatever its name is).

my dream machine for now:

4 inch samoled+

dual core enxyos

>= 1GB of ram

webtop akin to what the moto phones have

dual band wireless b/g/n

1080p video

ICS

dedicated buttons (camera, power, volume, and the 4 standard ones that ics is suppose to remove)

cyanogenmod support ;)
[Nexus S General] Greefus:
i just want LED, louder speaker, and better reception
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
I would be entirely happy if Google does what it did with the Nexus S, take the latest generation Samsung super phone (in this case SGS2), optimize a little and put it in the sleekest and sexiest chassis you've ever seen. I'm not jumping on the quadcore train like we all did last year waiting for the Nexus S to come out and expecting dual core. The Nexus S single core is still the best phone (for me) on the market. Hold out for dual core my ass ...
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Agreed 100%.
[Nexus S General] chewbz:
I second that, I hope it comes out for all the major carriers too. I would love to see the nexus line to become the premier Android phone on the market. I have yet to see any nexus phone hit it big with the masses.

give me the Nexus S with a dual core, and a better radio and Ill be content lol.
[Nexus S General] kanariya:
i will skip this.

$550 is a lot to spend for a yearly upgrade.

the nexus S will be with me for at least 2 yrs.

the source says it has a 720P screen.

I hope it doesn't get larger than 4".

I feel that 4" screen is the perfect size.

4.3" is too big IMO like the HTC EVO...or HD2

I wish they will keep the curved glass.

the nexus S is a great looking phone. :)
[Nexus S General] jonnythan:
Ahhh I love being Sprint Premier Gold.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I agree. I love my Nexus S so much I might even keep it longer than 2 years! :D
[Nexus S General] gogol:

Motorola? No, I lost faith with them when reading the Xoom forum.

If I could keep the same shell of the NS and just get the internals upgraded I would... As for the new version. I hope they leave the 3.5mm jack at the bottom.
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
I got a bag for my NxS and when i wanna listen to music and then check a text/mail I always got to remove it fully from the bag... so I'd love the jack on the top. USB at the bottom is perfect though for charging while in car cradle.

This ain't a deal breaker, I could live with any solution.
[Nexus S General] jonnythan:
Jack on the bottom makes the most sense. If you're listening to music, and it's in your pocket, you will pull it out in the correct orientation.

Battery tech can forever stay the same but chip tech (CPU, GPU, radios, camera) will become smaller and smaller making it more energy effecient and leaves more room for bigger batteries.
[Nexus S General] panda.bear:
Everyone has been crying about a dual-core cpu, but as an owner of both a tegra 2 tab and Nexus s, I'm hard pressed to find the real advantage of the dual-core cpu. If anything the Nexus S seems faster in just about every task.

What I am really looking for is a brighter, higher-res s-amoled screen on a phone with a sleeker, lighter profile and better battery life.
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
That quest can't be solved right now... better battery life and better displays just don't go too well together with today's techniques.

They are going to be operating on multiple bands and many upgrades to their towers over the next year to two. He made it sound impressive. Anyway, with a full 4G signal, I'm only getting about 3mb/1mb consistently.

[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
You need the first one to root because it comes with 3.0 version.

Then you need Acer Recovery Installer to make a backup of your rom. Default CWM will not work.

It's hard to tell which modem is right, but you don't need a new ROM for installing the drivers. I use wifi tethering from the phone. No hastle no extra sim cards or data plans.
