Hello,

I just read on an official site, that the htc desire will not be given the gingerbread 2.3ota but it will be released through HTC Sync, because its getting a new kernel and the partition of the device will be edited to fit htc sense.

HTC Sense will also be stripped down.. so probably not sense 2.1:(

SOURCE in dutch: http://www.allaboutphones.nl/nieuws/7586/HTC-Desire-krijgt-geen-OTAupdate-maar-kabelupdate.html
[Desire General] pavel54:
I don't know the dutch even a little :(
[Desire General] nickislauw:
ghehe, well what i wrote here, was a summary from whats on that website ;) you could also use google translate
[Desire General] pavel54:
Mhm, that will be even smart from HTC cause modifying of nand size, nice move but for us only version of sense is important now i think and with 1.9 i'm not happy a lot :/
[Desire General] erklat:
Good thing I don't care for official stuff as I don't plan on installing HTC Sync. They are upgrading Sense. I don't see any other valid reason for partition table change other than that. After all they have 250mb at their disposal. Fcuk me if they can't put Sense 1.0 on that only because it is Gingerbread.

If that info is valid at all.
[Desire General] jankoboys6:
Well nice to see what are they willing to do but I don't care anymore since I use Cyanogenmod. I only feel bad for those who like sense and their official rom very much.

[SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0]Article[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0]HTC Android, the 2.3.3 update for the HTC Desire OTA is not going to release. [/SIZE][SIZE=+0]Instead, it is a wired computer to the device used to provide the update. [/SIZE][/SIZE]

[SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0]This is All About Phones learned from an anonymous source. [/SIZE][SIZE=+0]According to the source will not be possible for an OTA update for the Desire to consider it because the kernel of the device also must be revised. [/SIZE][SIZE=+0]The forthcoming [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0]update[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0] of Desire will not have the full HTC Sense interface, because there is not enough space in the rom-partition of the unit. [/SIZE][SIZE=+0]The update, the ROM partition first and then increase the Gingerbread update to install on the device. [/SIZE]For this reason it will not possible to update the firmware over the network to send Desire owners. What exactly will no longer sit Sense HTC, the HTC to peel back Android explains, is not clear. [SIZE=+0]But it is now clear that the Gingerbread update later this month will be rolled out to the aircraft. [/SIZE][SIZE=+0]HTC reported that testing the new software on the device is ok and the software is almost ready. [/SIZE][SIZE=+0]The firmware update will probably then sync via HTC released by HTC. [/SIZE][SIZE=+0]The manufacturer will update its website known to the public. [/SIZE][/SIZE]

it's so funny that they have to change the SPL table to bring us "Official" GB, AlphaRev showed the way ;)
[Desire General] nickislauw:
please change the title "Desire does not get cable but OTA update update" to "Desire does not get OTA but cable update update" ghehe
[Desire General] Teppic24:
Hmm... I wonder what the impact will be for people (like myself) who have de-branded devices? Hopefully no more than having the goldcard in the device before updating, but I wonder if unbranded phones will end up as bricks?
[Desire General] OpusX11:
wouldn't you just RUU back and then apply the update?
[Desire General] nickislauw:
.. i have a tmboiel branded device, but i unbranded it too, i think its just fine to upgrade:) im just going to try it ;) i still have warranty and it probably wont brick,
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
Until I see on HTC facebook page official news, I don't believe a word what any site said, becouse they are just speculating ;)
[Desire General] nickislauw:
allaboutphones mostly got very good information from a very trustable source ;)
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
I'm not buying it until I see official.
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
is there any other source(s) in any other country verifying that?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I hope my aircraft gets an update :-)
[Desire General] DonManInBlack:
Never saw an option in HTC Sync to Update your Phone Software. Is this feature build in in HTC Sync?
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
No, there is no other source only that german site, but as I said, when HTC page officialy announce it I will believe it,until then I dont believe any other source and speculations.

This information is not confirmed until HTC officialy said it, and yes there is no update option on HTC Sync and they wont bring new version of HTC Sync only becouse of that.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
they could just release an RUU and the OTA could notify to update via the RUU...
[Desire General] Mountain8x:
I don't know Dutch.

I don't understand. ;))
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
Well yea who knows... but why making complications like that, no reason.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
I'm with the "please wait for official sources" as this seems to be purely based on the assumption that htc cannot update the kernel(wtf?) or the partition-layout(bootloader) ota.

AFAIK that's just plain wrong. HTC already updated the kernel(boot-partition) plenty of times(otherwise there is no way they could've distributed froyo ota) as well as the bootloader, otherwise many of us would still be stuck on 0.75(this was updated to 0.80 on mine ota just before i rooted a year ago)
[Desire General] nickislauw:
they can change the spl version, but not the SYSTEM partition layout
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
Desire Z got few days ago GB normal way through OTA, I don't see reason why Desire bravo shouldn't.
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Desire Z has 1.5GB internal storage AFAIK...
[Desire General] nctrns:
Because the changes that are allegedly necessary to update Desire are far more complex than those needed in Desire Z because of the small size of internal storage in Desire.
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
I still think that Desire will get update normally through OTA, until I see different on official pages.
[Desire General] mortuus82:
Does it matter really ? as long as we get it..
[Desire General] andQlimax:
I think we will get the ota too, and they will not change the partitions layout..the process is to complex to change it..change the partitions layout require format all partions, and that require a backup before that, and a restore after..impossible to handle all the cases..

We will just get an ota with gingerbread and sense 1.9 with some addition of some sense 2.x parts..thats it..lets see late next week

[Desire General] Teppic24:
I'm curious as to how this update, however it is delivered, will affect HBoot (I'm still running 0.80) and rootability.

I know they said they would unlock the bootloaders on their more recent handsets, but hopefully HTC will take the opportunity with the update to unlock the bootloader on the Desire.
[Desire General] Gurdjieff:
Short question: do i need to unroot to update? I am on stock rom but rooted.

Thank you
[Desire General] ScOgLiO9:
Really happy with my LeeDroid,so don't care at all of this news :D
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
appreciated... applause1
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Tbh I don't care either but I do realize it might be usefull for our developers so they can cook even better ROM's.
[Desire General] ericfanhk:
can't wait any more

flash Cool AceS mix v2 already
[Desire General] Lothaen:
more than likely.

if it is via an RUU then it'll probably unroot you at the same time.
[Desire General] Teppic24:
The $64000 question is will we be able to root again afterwards?
[Desire General] blacklion33:
Not likely ...... i mean not with the same methods used before gb ........
[Desire General] Pyr0wl:
We can always wait 'till the update gets released and after a couple of hours or so, a rooted version of the update will appear online?

Anyway, I'm hoping the update will be released as a RUU. This could mean that the partition layout is changed, which means that they may have included Sense 2.1. Sense 2.1 isn't much of a selling point anymore, since Sense 3.0 is out, so it sounds kinda possible?

Why else would they change the partition layout? Cutting those few apps which can also be found in the market wouldn't make much difference, there would be some more space on the system partition, but only about 20mb or so.

All in all, it's just wishful thinking. Guess we'll all find out soon enough.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
patience young padawan
[Desire General] OBBommel:
Do I understand correctly that, IF the partition is altered in favour of HTC Sense, the remaining free partition space will be smaller?

Thus meaning that the little amount of space for installing apps will be smaller than it already is?
[Desire General] KrewCial:
I think so, although most people have some apps twice on their device, e.g. flash 10.1, the original which we cannot delete and the update which we cant move to the SD card. So that would save some space. But anyway, if the partition is changed, the space has to come from somewhere...
[Desire General] aaa:
I wonder how the partition size will be....not a single byte left for apps perhaps? hahahaha...

Anyway...I ain't downloading the update since I am relying fully to the devs in this forum.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
i imagine they will move the partition tables around to leave exactly the same amount of internal storage space for apps as they have now....

if they move them at all.

i think they'd not change them TBH and just remove the internal apps to free up a little more space for any more/new sense stuff like plurk/skins/hub etc.
[Desire General] Beso:
So sense 2.1 ? :) Tnx
[Desire General] OBBommel:
Well. I was pretty pro modding in the past with my WM phone. With my Android I was conservative.

But I think I will go for rooting my Desire. I have to delete apps quite often to make space for other apps. It becomes pretty annoying. I don't think that the update makes much difference on the free partition space anyway, plus or minus.

[Desire General] r.king35:
HTC desire OTA or via sync upgrade.......

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...

You have been connected to agent.

agent: Hi , thank you for contacting HTC Support. How may I help you today?

Customer: when will the 2.3 upgrade be released for the htc desire as you have specified that it would be by the end of july

agent: Not every device gets the update at the same time but it is spread. This is to manage the load on the network. The upgrade has been released recently but it is not possible to say when exactly that your device will receive this upgrade.

Customer: HAS IT BEEN RELEASED OVER THE AIR OR WILL IT BE ON SYNC TO PC THEN

agent: Over the air

Customer: how do i tell if my devise is waiting for upgrade ota

Customer: just checked my phone on the about screen and software updates and there is no update applicable

Customer: has the latest info about the release been issued to facebook then cus noone knows this current info

agent: This ugrade can only be aqcuired when it is pushed to the phone. Manually checking for updates does not work. More information should be released soon.

Customer: can you tell me when is it going to be pushed to the phone and how do you go about selecting which phones and timescales do they get it

agent: It is being spread by the IMEI-number but unfortunately it's not possible to say when you will receive it exactly.

Customer: is it being done in batches then

Customer: if you are given the imei no can you check when it will be pushed over

agent: I understand you want to received the new update but it is not possible check when it will be pushed over.

Customer: is it being done in imei number batches then

agent: Yes, it is.

Customer: ok thanks for this info.
[Desire General] nickislauw:
WTF? SO THE AGENT SAYS IT HAS BEEN JUST RELEASED???? :confused::confused:
[Desire General] r.king35:
I have just been on chat with someone there and as per my above post the upgrade has been released and it is being pushed over to users by imei number in batches, i don't know how many in each batch so i guess we all need to wait for our phone to say that there is an update ready to install.

I wish we wearn't being given the run around on this as its been too long now and all we want is the upgrade, so HURRY along HTC and push FASTER.
[Desire General] wally80:
It can't just be pushed faster. That would congest many cellular networks, and perhaps even HTC servers.

So, let's give them their time and wait... :-)
[Desire General] erklat:
Actually, I couldn't care less when will all of you get their update :)

All I need is this release in the right hands.
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
another troll thread from nickislauw :facepalm:
[Desire General] nickislauw:
Im just posting what the media says!
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
my suggestion is don't believe everything media says, becouse they will wrote anything to get your attention and you to buy that story, wich turns out not to be true, I'm talking about that wild sites,not official ones.
[Desire General] en_mih:
this is not true:) its not official :P
[Desire General] wackymix:
i`m thinking how this update can roll out from HTC SYNC becouse i`m using the latest HTC Sync and i don`t have a button to update my software phone.
[Desire General] andQlimax:
U have to specify htc desire bravo

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Will be OTA as usual, not with htc synch

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] Bawezy:
What i dont get is. if the update is going to be pushed to the phone via imei, does that mean that the update is going to be based on what imei you have hence manually debranded handsets will get the roms they originally had from their carriers. Which in this case that would then mean we have to rebrand our devices again?
[Desire General] jjdoctor:
Someone posted on Facebook that he got Desire gingerbread update... can anyone confirm?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
its probably on their Desire Z
[Desire General] smbo:
If they have to enlarge system partition, they will tale space from app space?

Now is difficult to install apps bigger than 3 mb, after the update? :'(
[Desire General] Meaple:
If you lot are that impatient then go install a custom rom and you will have Gingerbread Sense in a matter of minutes. You will get the update when its available. And to be honest, there's still a few days of July left so stop whining like little girls.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I wish someone would change the title of this thread as its pretty clear it's not confirmed at all that it will not be an OTA...
[Desire General] poeartpl:
Hi,

As I understood well, I have to have automatic check for updates. So it means, it could use not Wi-Fi but a cellular network, isn't it? Even if I have turn off cellular network? Because I don't have a network packet yet (from September I'll have), and I wouldn't like to dowload update via cellular network. Is it possible to have automaticly checking for updates for phone (HTC Desire, of course, with all standard soft) only via Wi-Fi turned on and cellular network off?

thanks for reply and sorry for my poor english sometimes ; ) I hope, you'll understand, what I mean,

cheers,

Poe
[Desire General] erklat:
It will ask you if you wish to install update, so you don't have to worry about carriers charges. It works with wifi too.

Yeah! I actually got included in credits :p but make sure to add ASASlide to the credits also.

May I ask what Launcher is in the screenshots? Is it ADW or something else? Maybe include a link to the TouchWiz GB CM 7 theme for people that would like that.

Seems really nice, I think I'll flash it soon.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NexusSlide:
Thanks I'll be sure to add him into in the credits, I want to be sure I give anyone credit where it's due. The launcher is the actual i9000 launcher not an adw look alike or anything. I'll add the links to the theme as well, thanks again for the tips and interests :D

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] edwin270:
To change the default home screen means that you will have to make it the first screen instead

to do this make sure you are on the home screen

1. Press the phone menu key

2. choose edit

3. tap and drag the screen that you want to set as the default downwards

4. Now tap and drag that screen that you just dragged downwards towards your left making it the default

NOTE: Aside this option you have no other way of making the third screen rather the default.............
[Verizon Droid Charge] nate55:
I just switched from an HTC thunderbolt to a droid charge because swapping batteries 3x a day was becoming to much of a hassle and the only thing I miss from my thunderbolt is Sense 3.0 (and the kickstand). Any chance of a port?
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
It's near impossible.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
A Sense ROM would be kind of cool, I sure as hell wouldn't use it, though.

I hate Sense. I hate TouchWiz. I hate MotoBlur. I can tolerate Sense the most, but I'd still rather run a custom ROM. The manufacturer UIs generally suck balls.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Thracia:
You know, I sort of wished for the same thing, but then I realize that Sense 3.0 just isn't worth giving up resizeable widgets, the customization options of custom roms or their overall snappiness.

It's fun, sure, but ultimately not worth it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
not happening...it would be ridiculously hard and there are never fully functional sense ports even on aosp phones (nexus s)

if you want sense....umm buy or keep a sense phone
[Verizon Droid Charge] theReDkoolAiD:
you enjoy 3g, because I love my 4g
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
No need to troll.

Besides, I'll be enjoying my Super Amoled+ display and LTE while you enjoy your Sense 3.0....and that's it. :)

Bow chika wah wah
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
A group of people tried to port Sense (not 3.0) onto the SGS line back in Nov/Dec timeframe I believe. They got a booting ROM, but it was never close to being functional that I know of and had all sorts of issues. The project was eventually abandoned because they just couldn't get things fixed and working. I can't imagine that HTC would have made it any easier to port Sense with the 3.0 version, seeing as they won't even back port it to their own devices (officially).
[Verizon Droid Charge] Wardroid:
I really missed sense when I came from the tbolt, but I have since fallen in love with launcher pro. It is awesome with the transistions you can set and the scrolling dock. I think if I ever went back to an htc phone I would probably download launcher pro over sense....never thought I would say that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
I have used Launcher pro too. It is definitely nice. I just started using Go Launcher last week and it seems to have all of the main Launcher pro features and has smoother graphics.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Sleek69:
Hopefully we can get a sense launcher? :cool:

Will we still get ota after using this update? Just wondering because if it is not official I still want to be able to receive the official one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Why would anyone wonder if this is official? Where was it ever indicated by anyone, let alone LG or T-Mo, that this was it?

One thing is certain... this latest leaked build is a stock and un-rooted ROM, so future over the air updates will still work.

It was just strange it was available to the public when unofficial. It never said it was unofficial either.
