Anyone know when the Desire is considered an older device? I'm sure it'll continue to be manufactured and sold for a while now - not everyone wants a big phone or a keyboard. Am assuming a new Desire replacement won't be out until next spring.
[Desire General] hamdir:
actually your wrong here, i'm glad someone brought it up so i looked it up

HTC did upgrade both the diamond 2 and touchpro2 to sense 2.5

http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=912

http://www.jayceooi.com/2010/03/20/download-rom-version-2-53-405-5-upgrade-for-htc-touch-diamond2/\

i wish htc did the same for my diamond 1, i wanted the topaz TouchFLO so badly but it never happened (officially and it was very hard for the community to port)

waw this makes me hopeful if we keep nagging about it we will get it, especially since they don't offer desire 2 yet (3.7 without keyboard) i want a stock new sense experience on my desire, i don't like heavily customized roms
[Desire General] Tazzzz:
+1
[Desire General] elburna:
Ups your right. My girlfriends diamond2 i had here recently, was equipped with a custom ROM. Nevermind...
[Desire General] hamdir:
Diamond 2 did receive the HD2 sense officially, look it up :rolleyes:
[Desire General] AndroHero:
right when the topaz came out it had touchflo 3d 2.1 after the update they got sence 2.1 ........ sence 2.5 is the one where you can put the big shortcuts on the homescreen, neither the diamond 2 or touch pro 2 has that officially
[Desire General] AndroHero:
its considered an older fone when a new fone with a better cpu comes out lol
[Desire General] hamdir:
did you even check the link....update 2.53 gives you sense 2.5
[Desire General] AndroHero:
i just did it now you are right :eek: smart arse :D
[Desire General] cgrec92:
yes, from experience the desire is now considered as an old phone, and if you think otherwise then you haven't been with HTC for long enough to know better.

when i bought the HTC HD2 i was really happy with it, updates were coming from everywhere. then, the desire was released, end of updates for the HD2.

the desire has been out for about 6 months now, several newer devices have been released the desire itself has been updated into 2 new handsets, and many more are yet to come, how long will htc support the desire?

google the HTC glacier, planned to have dual-core processors/gingerbread etc and is due in about 3 months, htc have more things to deal with than the desire.

don't think for a second i don't like the desire, i've had it for 6 months and i love it, best phone i've ever used and will continue using it for the next year, but many people know that htc aren't too good support wise and it wouldn't surprise me if we see the support for our beloved device stop.
[Desire General] hamdir:
i was as skeptical and i was sure we won't get it, especially still burned from diamond days

but having learned today diamond 2 and touchpro 2 did actually receive the HD2 sense, i'm really surprised i think we should give it a chance

HD2 was outdated software wise maybe because windows mobile 6 reached the end of its life? and we still don't know maybe it will receive windows 7
[Desire General] AndroHero:
the htc glacier is going to be t-mobile only tho isnt it? aparantly htc and t-mobile have been working on it under the name project sapphire
[Desire General] cgrec92:
no i don't think so. maybe you are referring to the G2 or the LG Optimus?

all i know is that when gingerbread is released (~october) all the manufacturers are going to have to start making beefier devices.

motorola and htc have announced dual-core processors by the end of 2010 so that's something to look forward to.

also that means that anyone buying the htc desire HD/Z on contract now may well regret it.
[Desire General] patp:
Aren't they working on this in the dev forum?
[Desire General] hamdir:
we are discussing official support
[Desire General] cgrec92:
with a bit of luck htc will be able to bless our desires with the new sense.

if not then the devs are doing their best on it.

so far the rom is in a flashable zip and there are people working on making it smaller.

neophyte has nearly got it working without requiring an ext partition which is the next step forward.

i say in a week or so the new sense will be ready for our desires just like any other rom.
[Desire General] toyface:
I'm quite sure that they will bring the new UI to the Desire. I'm sure you've all seen the tweet from HTC Spain that say it will. Besides, there releasing a white version of the phone, so it'll still be a current phone. I think they will do, because they've got no reason not to.

The extra features will be left out, but I don't think the UI changes will be.
[Desire General] cgrec92:
they have a lot of reason not to.

apart from the fact that they're soon to be releasing the next generation (dual-core) devices, as well as supporting the new htc desires and building towards android 3.0, they would have to re-build (worsen) the htc sense just so that it could work on the htc desire, because as you know the htc desire hasn't got enough memory to operate the system.

if they did release the new sense for the desire then maybe they've turned over a new leaf because it would be a lot of effort on their part.
[Desire General] jamiemorris:
HTC should WANT to update sense for the Desire

This updated Sense includes several new things for HTC as a company-AFAIK their first premium software app with locations, and their first social app with likes. Surely HTC would want to install an instant user base for their likes service with the current desire community, as well as increase possible revenue of app purchases?

Although I don't know much about how HTC works, the fact that the Desire is the only European Sense handset to receive FroYo so far, and received a further software update as early as last week, I think they are wanting to keep it on the bleeding edge of what Sense and Android have to offer, at least for now.

It has been said before that the Desire is still a flagship, since the 4.3 inch screens are much rarer in Europe and not everyone wants a QWERTY device. The cheaper price of the original Desire will keep it popular, considering the (relatively) high price of the Desire HD, and HTC would be missing a trick in not giving it at least some of the new features of the New Sense
[Desire General] cgrec92:
i think i can speak for everyone here when i say, i hope you're right :rolleyes:
[Desire General] CharlieCharlie24:
Dual core phones? Would love to see the battery life on them.

Maybe they should be working on batteries first.
[Desire General] kalfou:
Exactly, why every single time a new phone is released with better hardware the battery life is rubbish...I mean i know WHY, but why do they have to do business this way... Like giving an obese kid a donut hooked up to a bike and everytime he takes a bite he has to do 10 miles...

Sounds weird but trust me makes sense...i think.
[Desire General] code72:
Only big issue now is camera not working with SenseHD ported rom
[Desire General] Yopsi:
I've heard otherwise. In fact, Desire was one of the "already existing" phones with high probability to get 3.0 because it has all the specs (Cpu, screen, memory) and is one of the most sold Htc phones in Europe. If I had to choose between Desire and Desire HD I would still choose Desire because I'm not fancy with Gigantic Screens. Plus, the phone with overclocking is almost achieving 1,4g in CPU and will still be one of the top Smartphones out there for sometime.

As a Desire owner I'm just gonna sit back and let "Gingerbread" get some closer.

PS: ( Saw a pic of a Nexus one with 3.0 Installed. Don't really see the Desire not catching the google train :b )
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] factualpuddle:
okay, so i have made some simple text icons to use with my theme. and i applied one to test, and it was a little small, which i can fix, but i was wondering how you guys go about positioning them? it's really out of place and i haven't a clue on how to maneuver their positions... Thank you much once again =]
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2500726:
That's probably in some XML files :) I don't know which though since I've never themed LauncherPro. You can download apkmanager and decompile the apk and look around in there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] factualpuddle:
okay, will do in a bit, when i decompile, how do i out em back together for testing etc?

and how would i go about getting/finding the xml i need?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2500726:
You just select "compile" (option number 11 I think). You would have to make an update.zip and flash it to test :) I have no idea which XMLs it is but usually the names can lead you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] factualpuddle:
about where at in myphone would they be? lol, in system/bin?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] MacaronyMax:
Would they not be in the launcher pro app? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] factualpuddle:
Lmao, I figured that, but I don't have the apk file for it. Haha

Guys I have finally had enough of SE and me and my X10 have parted ways, I wish you all good luck and hope the dev's can come up with a bootloader hack and release the full potential of your phones with custom ROMS.

I have just heard that your now looking at the end of Oct for 2.1, what are SE upto, they cant keep messing people around like they are.

As I said good luck and god speed :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
How much did you get for it?
[XPERIA X10 General] Lixx:
Can't believe you just give up mate.

I can't even look at you anymore.

Think of the good times you had together, you laughed, you cried, you danced, you sang...

Poor x10i :(
[XPERIA X10 General] fig_jam_uk:
I took it to CEX and got £179 trade in towards a HD2 that they had for £225
[XPERIA X10 General] fig_jam_uk:
Aye, but she was no longer performing the way I had expected her to be by now :mad:

All I asked for was a little upgrade, you know, a little lipstick some nail varnish, but no she was just stuck in the past and I couldnt cope anymore.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lixx:
But she was a firery old girl... Stuck in her ways but she loved you!

HD2 can never fill the gap... Haha.
[XPERIA X10 General] fig_jam_uk:
I know, I know, I tried to be patient but im only a man, a man with needs god damn it.

I needed a little Froyo and she was just not willing to change.

I will miss her but this new model knocks the spots off her poor performing 1.6's.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lixx:
I think you seem to forget that one day those needs where more than satisfied by little X10i and her 1.6.

I hope you know you've broken her heart.

She will have trust issues forever now.

Never knowing when she's going to be dropped for a cooler, flashier model.

Poor little x10 indeed....
[XPERIA X10 General] fig_jam_uk:
Well maybe she shouldnt have let me down...........
[XPERIA X10 General] Lixx:
I think it was you who let her down mate.

You just needed a little faith in her, a bit of time to show her love...
[XPERIA X10 General] fig_jam_uk:
I know what your saying mate, but its just like my real divorce..

I've never been happier ;-)
[XPERIA X10 General] Lixx:
Ouch! We need to get your name sorted on the phones in work mate!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] Z3X:
A little time...

There is only soo much patience someone can have.
[XPERIA X10 General] tigger69:
Get that desire HD rom on that HD2 :p
[XPERIA X10 General] Lixx:

He's like a kid with a new toy in work ATM... :p
[XPERIA X10 General] Tasteslikeawesome:
Me and rachael have had our issue, she sometime has a sad but after i get inside her and push her buttons she complies. But i see other girls and they suit the new styles, racheal refuses to change for me, i have changed for her, i just want her to look at things in another point of view. i will always love her but i dont know if we can be life partners.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lixx:
Don't give up on Rachel mate. She is your first love. Hold onto her and cherish her stubborn ways...
[XPERIA X10 General] fig_jam_uk:
She will never change mate. Its a sad fact but there you go lol
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:

[Desire General] Lasqa:
I bought my phone in Ireland about 4 months ago. Obviously the OS is in english, but i was just wondering if there is any chance of changing it to Polish without rooting the phone? I got upgrade to Froyo about 2 months ago but the only thing that i can change to Polish it's the keyboard. I dont really mind english menu it's just Google Voice Search. Finally it's working in poland aswell, but when i downloaded the upgrade there is only English German Japanese Chinese and spanish I think. No Polish at all. Any suggestions how i can add Polish language to that?
[Desire General] !PANDA:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leinad:
Hy all.

I have a stock DESIRE with SLCD screen. It is rooted using Unrevoke3 method, with Amon_RA recovery image, (and alternative ClockworkMod recovery flashable via update.zip)

I cannot succeed in flashing any AOSP ROM (I tried Cyanogen and OpenDesire).

It always gets stuck on the first screen (with the green HTC logo) and never reachs the boot animation screen ; it is never detected by my PC, which prevents me from getting any logcat.

I tried a ton of things, including reformatting my SD Card, with and without ext partition, booting with or without SD card, with and without SIM card. Nothing helps.

Since I'm able to flash ROMs extracted from HTC ROMs (such as ModacoCustom ROMs), I'm wondering whether there should be somewhere in these ROMs some software related to SLCD screens, which is not included in AOSP ROMs ...

Is this possible ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sr1ks:
SOunds odd, i have an SLCD and have been using all roms, OD, DeFrost, Cyanogen, LeeDr0id, Auraxtsense and even the desire HD....

Looks kind of your device specific???

and i believe this post should be in the Q & A Section

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leinad:
Hy sr1ks.

Could you please give me more details regarding your own configuration :

Is your Desire stock or branded ?

What is its hboot version ?

How did you root it ?

What is your current recovery image ?

Do you have an ext partition on your SD card ?

Thank you for your help.

PS : You're right, I posted it in the wrong section. Sorry.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bk718:
it looks like he answered that...

but as for navigation, there's no turn-by-turn voice nav right now...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ASimmons:
I think he was asking like... what specifically does he like better about it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bk718:
ah ha! :p i think your correct.. for some reason it didn't read to me that way at first..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gidkid:
I didn't see it that way either... It all makes sense now though.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pwrmedia:
The navigation leaves a little to be desired, but being spoiled by GM's turn-by-turn voice nav and Sprint's Nav, that's probably a biased opinion...

That said, Bing's Image Search > Google's. Love the accessibility right from the main menu.

All in all, a decent alternative to Google right now..

I can't boot my phone normally and in recovery mode.

Is there anything that I can do?

Thank you for helping me...
[G1 General] ezterry:
What radio, hboot version is shown on the fastboot screen and what carrier was the phone originally on (ie carrier brand on the phone, this may or may not be your current mobile carrier)

The signature error is an indication of an s=off spl.. but I need more info to tell you the easiest way to proceed.
