They have to update all their crapware to Froyo, as well as strip out tethering, Wifi hotspot, and sideloading.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim_1979:
I know there was an initial problem with the program that was resolved

I have a hd7 and it was working fine until today where it simply goes back to the phones main screen.

Anyone else having the same issue??

Cheers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
If there are any issues then it will most likely be fixed soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bearkilla:
its working fine now

With Android 2.3 Gingerbread due out before the end of the year. How long do you think it will take HTC to push out the upgrade ?

IMO HTC are not the fastest of companies to update their OS the latest google offerings.

The new Samsung is rumored to be running 2.3 out of the box.

Whats your thoughts ?
[Desire HD General] override182:
2-3 months maybe according to what happened to the desire.. that new samsung is AOSP based isnt it.. not touchwiz, lets see when Galaxy S will be getting gingerbread officially
[Desire HD General] bboerny:
absolutely agreed :( they build really cool phones, but they are indeed not famous for software updates...

when I see that my working colleagues with a HTC legend are still on android 2.1 I doubt a software update in the first year... :\ Although DHD may be (one of their) top phones. But lets hope HTC improves on that, I would even pay for Android version upgrades...
[Desire HD General] wendy75:
Isn't Gingerbread rumoured not suppose to allow for any overlays.? If so then I doubt it will come to the DHD.
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
in my experience owning HTC handsets with sense, there will only be 1 update during the life time of the gadget. being 2.3 or 3.0, don't expect it to be any time soon, especially when current DHD is not every widely available yet.

I say 6-8 month at least.

Its one annoying aspect of owning HTC sense phone, they are not a software specialist.

However, the fact that Samsung is getting Nexus Two with Gingerbread probably means HTC is under pressure to have at least one cracking phone with 2.3. We can only wait and see if they choose to update DHD or launch a new line.

Really hated Galaxy S and gutted that's what the Nexus Two will be based on :(
[Desire HD General] jords12:
People always say HTC isn't the best with updates... but who is, aside from google with the nexus one?
[Desire HD General] riz157:
I agree no one is quick in getting software updates so no reason to just slag off HTC.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I really hope HTC don't take too long. But then again i plan on rooting and loading a custom gingerbread rom, stock of course. Now about that root...
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
hehehe what about having the phone first:p

you might do what i'm plaining to do http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8911576#post8911576
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
I have to diagree.

HTC is the first and biggest androids producer. They made Nexus One which is great when it comes to software support. If anyone they should be setting the standard not dragging the progress. They said it themselves that they wanted to benefit from the "Google Experience", and frankly speaking they are the last brand on earth to have excuses for not keeping up with android progress.
[Desire HD General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
That doesnt make any sense the os is supposed to be free to anyone to use any overlay or luncher they want to use
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
I ve heard the same thing as well. supposed to be one of google's way to resolve the OS fragmentation problem. However I heard that's going to happen in Honeycomb, not Gingerbread.
[Desire HD General] panyan:
ooh interesting, that would be stir things up a bit becuase that would mean if samsungs phones are the same as htc (software), then they have to either battle on hardware or price :D

but no sense :(
[Desire HD General] Pickx:
It's a debunked rumor. AOSP interface has barely changed with Android 2.3
[Desire HD General] Traxxor:
My guess is 2-3 months, One of the reasons I chose HTC was because they are among the fastest to update ( I love Sense ). Samsung just started rolling 2.2 out, Sony Ericsson haven't even updated to 2.2, Sony Ericsson getting 2.1 this weekend..
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
I ll bet £50 it ll take more than 3 months, any taker? :P

It took HTC 8 month to update Hero.
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
Yes,but then again,the Hero was an old,outdated device then.Desire had already come out and there were many better devices out there.Remember that the Desire was one of the first phones to get Froyo(I think second after the Nexus One).Don't be so sure it will take much time...
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but my point being people buying DHD shouldn't put too much hope in getting gingerbread immediately. DHD hardware is superb and the sense overlay on 2.2 has got lots of great features, and its probably just a matter of time before DHD get rooted and 2.3 be ported over anyway.

I f none of these matters as much as getting 2.3 straightaway, hold on for a couple more weeks and get the Nexus Two is probably a better idea(and wear the pain of a samsung phone, I m not falling for that again:P)
[Desire HD General] El_Nino9:
if i recall gingerbread was roughly estimated for december/janurary

thought there were still issues with oracle and google over android using dalvik vm?so I thought, yes me only- not starting a rumor- that that might have delayed it as dalvik is part of java and ISN'T open source?

anyways your device doesnt get 1 update only

look at the mytouch 3g? had android 1.5, 1.6 and 2.2 3 upgradeds in its life?

now look at the desire, htc call it a high end product. it was on 2.1 is running 2.2 and will definately get gingerbread when it comes out, but no time scale will be given for that.

HTC are better then any company in giving updates if anything compared to other companies.

when an company decides to put its own overlay is when things get delayed. if they keep it vanilla releases would be quick and easy, but how do you make your device unique? what features do you add to make you stand out the crowd?
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
You're the man! :)
[Desire HD General] schriss:
I only hope HTC doesn't release any new flagship Android phone anytime soon, because we would then be left out of any updates :(

It might be we will get the update from fellow developers here rather than from HTC :o

this is what ive found today

Posted just 12 hours ago.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
That great news! My only worry now is if I update, will it remove root and s-off?
[Desire HD General] jamiee6610:
I aint worried, 2.2 is doing me fine, sure theres a few bugs/ that need fixing but thats life.

I would be shocked to see 2.3 going on any other phone in the imediate future, seeming the Nexus S has just launched and the selling point of that is 2.3 android.

Do you think they are going to let the compeditors have it at the same time?

If it comes it comes, its a bonus- im happy with my DHD.
[Desire HD General] Nodeuk:
What's new in 2.3 that's making everyone want it so badly? All I've found on Google is:

1. Better keyboard - which seems pretty much the same as the sense one.

2. Better UI graphics - which sense hides anyway.

3. Better copy paste - which looks just like the sense one.

What cool new features have I missed? Feeling left out on the excitement :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] echoside:
YaOSP 0.7

(Yet another open source project)

Ive been working on this for a little while and I feel it is stable enough to release to the public. It is an AOSP rom based off of Nexus one build FRF91 (most recent) It does have some things from the cyanogen source. Sadly just like the other AoSP roms out for the EVO it has its issues.

What it is:

Nexus one FRF91 AOSP port

Very quick

LauncherPro (I dont like Launcher2)

at the moment running Kingklicks aosp kernel

What doesnt work:

4G

MMS MIGHT not work

Front Cam

Back cam only 3 mp

hdmi

Brightness auto adjust sometimes acts goofy.

The camera and MMS I will get fixed and running very shortly. As for the 4G and HDMI Im not sure when that will be fixed. I consider this build a beta build and by flashing this you know it will have some issues. Also I am not responsible AT ALL for you damage your phone. You know the risk. I have been using this rom for the past 2 days and it has been very stable and quick. I don't usually use 4G anyways OR use the camera so I don't miss those features =P

In the next week or so this will be a very quick reliable AOSP rom. So if your tired of all the sense roms this one might just be the change your looking for.

I would love feed back so I can make this rom as stable and functional as possible.

who are you? comrad questions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Veritas06:
Glad to see another AOSP ROM! I'm sure i'll be giving it a try within the next few days.
[EVO 4G Android Development] echoside:
I hope you enjoy it. I don't post all of my roms on here because I don't want to take up a bunch of space but I figured another AOSP rom wouldn't hurt the board :D

It seems as though the UK Legend ROM comes with Panorama and not the other HTC Legends. Why?

Anyway, is there an app on the store for this or it is possible to have an unlocked UK ROM that will work in India?
[Legend Themes and Apps] Knight77:
Panorama? Is not that you mean "Pandora"?
[Legend Themes and Apps] ishan_rulz:
No, this.

its not an apk.....its on the camera settings.but still you can download panorama taking apk in market.

I know its in the Camera Settings which is available to users in the UK only.

Do you know any good Panorama Apps?

[G2 and Desire Z General] victoria_tsao:
Hello,

I just unlock my G2 by using the SIM card that might be unavailable anymore, the system shows that the unlock code is correct and unlock success, will reboot immediately, so I press OK to continued but it didn't reboot, I'm stock in this mode(not sure how to say that), it takes almost 15min and it still not reboot yet

Is it because using the SIM card that is unavailable or is any other reason?

is it ok if I just take off the battery and reboot again?

thank a lot!

English is not my native language...I hope I made my question clear
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
Happen to me. I took the battery out, and then try again
[G2 and Desire Z General] sovereignty68:
4th time I'm trying here...... still stuck at "Shutting down..." for 30 minutes
[G2 and Desire Z General] marvinmartinez888:
I too experienced this, however it worked after removing the battery. But still "No Netrwork service" after..
[Vibrant General] JD76:
Seems when im on a call and another call comes in, the screen remains off so I cant see the number or switch over... I have to hit the power button on the side to wake up the screen.. it takes a couple of presses before the screen wakes up... anyone else have this issue?.. any fix?
[Vibrant General] versedout:
You're not the only one experiencing this. I noticed this started happening before I even starting installing custom ROMs, and I hoped with Bionix Fusion, it would fix it. Like you, any help would be appreciated from the community.
[Vibrant General] beren28:
If you are using the puzzle lock screen, that is the cause.
[Vibrant General] McBang2023:
I actually didnt have this problem until the J16 update. i was considering reverting back, but later decided to wait cause im sure someone in the nerdfarm would find a fix. I await this knight in shinning armor.
[Vibrant General] ensonnosne:
I've been having this issue regardless of rom, lock type, and device. Along with a slow or nonresponsive proximity based wake action if I happen to look at the screen during a call. Why is this?
[Vibrant General] JD76:
I changed the lock screen from puzzle to Android and im still having this issue.. :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mckinlk:
Hey, I gave this a shot but didn't notice a difference. Do you run any other commands in you visionary script? Do you put this at the end?

Update

Checked my build.prop, still set to 240. Never used the setprop command, but notice the property in build.prop doesn't have qemu.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tehseano:
I find 190 to work best.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] minotauri:
Hi - It doesnt modify the build.prop at all actually. I also have some other commands in my script to control adfree and setcpu, but perhaps adding these commands at the beginning will help:

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblkp025 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblkp025 /data
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jacobmowry:
Very nice. I just added a gscript to run it. It works like a champ.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hgmarcia:
Slows down g2 when uninstalled everything was back to normal.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mckinlk:
I added the r/w to the /data and removed a line that killed the launcher after uninstalling bloatware. One of those steps did the trick. I love it at 190. I was so frustrated with how the resolution was better than the G1 but didn't really give me the impression with everything blown up.

Thanks for the details.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] minotauri:
Cool. I'll update the OP with the read-write commands.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LxDroid:
Love the mod, thanks for the tip

any idea why after the hot reboot it causes sim checker light to email my location as if someone stole my phone and put in there sim?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mckinlk:
Noticed the stolen report too with the kill launcher command. Must mess with the sim card negotiation and trigger something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ZeroSX:
Forgive the noobisness, but are the icons in the app drawer supposed to look like complete ass with it set @ 190?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
Trial and error results

That's what I noticed as well. ADW looks like crap and that's no lie. Some things aren't using the entire screen anymore.

One thing I've learned when it comes to having Android on the HD2 with a lcd_density of 180 is that you have to unmark compatability mode within spare parts. Since we g2 users don't have that app, we're kinda stuck.

BUT WAIT! Spare parts is on the market. Install it and then do an adb shell...

su

busybox killall system_server

AND IT DIDN'T WORK!!!

So I guess I'm gonna have to try a different density other than 190...

UPDATE:

changing the density to 200 made ADW look fantastic. Some apps still don't use the entire screen. Maybe rebooting entirely will help and actually adding these lines to visionary.sh instead of just running the commands through a shell...

UPDATE2:

Rebooting did nothing. Spare parts doesn't do anything so my question would be How do we get all apps to span across all of the screen?

My example is Weather and Toggle Widget with the Weather Forecast Add-on, the weather animation uses only half of the screen...

Off topic, I know but what are the commands you use for them?

This would help out a great deal!

UPDATE3:

Something went fishy. visionary.sh doesn't seem to want to work. This is what I have,

Basically, it's everything in the OP with the addition of the oc command.

It was working just fine in the beginning but now it doesn't do the hot reboot unless I manually type killall system_server in adb shell or terminal emulator but oc goes through no problems either way...

I would like some clarification on something...

Is it mmcblk0p25 or mmcblkp025 cause 0p25 is what I did and it worked...

FINAL UPDATE:

So I'm really not sure what I did but with a lot of trail and error, I was able to come up with a working script...

don't edit it in anyway or it won't work. I don't know why...

Sorry for floodin the thread with such a massive post but maybe it will help others. But I still want to know how to add adfree into visionary.sh so I don't have to start that up every time to0. If anyone want to throw me the command you used, I will guinea pig it into the script I just created and post it for the for everyone as well.

It's off topic but at least it will be out in the open cause I didn't see it anywhere. I know how to search...

Thank you all!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ZeroSX:
Launcherpro @ 200 looks amazing. Will keep it like that, it's like a whole new phone.

edit: thinking it's just a stock launcher problem with rendering, cause stock launcher looked like crap @ 200 too
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smasraum:
Can someone post a couple of screen shots?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SuperDave81:
I'm using launcher pro @ 205. Looks amazing, everything aligned. I think you also need to play with your desktop columns and rows. I'm using 5x6 and manually resized widgets.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bdong:
Thanks a ton to the OP. I absolutely LOVE high resolutions. Im using a density of 190 on ADW, and it looks fantastic! For some strange reason 200 and 210 were crashing the phone, 190 is running smoothly with no problems/glitches.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] marqi.k:
Launcher Pro @ 190. This works great. Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] minotauri:
I use launcher pro. but I know adw works too because I used that in the past with cyanogenmod on nexus one. you will want to change to column and row settings to full optimize the new screen density.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
I can't get it to work I pushed the script and it was successful I can see it in terminal but it's not setting my density.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
Reboot device and run visionary...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
Very odd.. I tried it on my other G2 and it worked flawlessly it rebooted itself and loaded fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] minotauri:
I thought I got adfree working in visionary, but I cant get it to work.

the code should be as simple as

cp /data/local/tmp/hosts /system/etc/
busybox killall system_server

but it doesnt write to system/etc with visionary.sh, but I can get it to work with terminal and using gscript. will continue to work on it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambala001:
I have LCD Density working just fine but Adfree seems to only work at random times, most of the time though it does not function. Is there a way to revert back to the stock density without rebooting?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
Adb shell

Su

Mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

Mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /data

Setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 240

Busybox killall system_server
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Corylulu:
I couldn't get it to work until I ran it like this as well. Very strange.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] V1R3Z:
ok for everyone not knowing how to get this done:

#1 - have adb working and properly installed

go here for drivers for windows

#2 - copy the script posted on the first post of this thread:

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblkp025 /system

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblkp025 /data

setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density XXX

busybox killall system_server

#3 - paste it into notepad and change the XXX to ither 190 or 200 or some say 205 try 190 to start then move up so for now lets say you change XXX to 190

#4 - go to save as... select from the drop down menu at the bottom that says "txt file" change that to "any file" then change the file name to visionary.sh and click save to save it to your desktop or were ever u want

#5 - make sure you have visionary installed from the market and your phone is temp rooted and you select the run on boot option in the visionary app

#6 - on ur computer open up the command prompt and type in "adb push " with a space ater push and drag the visionay.sh file u just saved into the command prompt then type another space and type "/data/local/" then press enter so ur command prompt should look like:

C:\Users\Me>adb push C:\Users\Me\Desktop\visionary.sh /data/local/

(press enter)

and it should say that you copied the file over

23 KB/s (166 bytes in 0.007s)

then reboot ur phone and wait a few extra minutes and tada it should be all smaller and like when you raise the resolution on your pc

hope that helps someone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] minotauri:
thanks. this should help people. i'll put it in the OP.

i have noticed that the phone is very finicky with running scripts. i dont know why, but i sometimes have to delete and re-type things in over again to get it to work. i'm not sure if editing it in wordpad/notepad in win7 works half the time when switching over to android/unix. i have better luck typing the commands in root explorer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] V1R3Z:
i also seem to be running into a bit of trouble too.

when i run the visionary.sh with just the LCD density script it works perfect every time BUT when i add anything else to that script such as overclocking it breaks it... ive tried putting the OC before and after the mounting of system and data... after the mounting of system and data and even after the system killall and i cant get BOTH to work... im not an ADB genius lol so maybe some one can help us with how the script should be ordered idk...

or were just going to have to use gscript and make it run the scripts for us at boot...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] V1R3Z:
OK so i did what philosophics said at the end of post #12 and it worked for me too

very wierd i reall dont need to edit the overclock script/kernel i want to leave it at 1ghz not 1.4ghz so normaly i would only need to add this line o the visionary.sh file:

insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko

but it some how breaks it and nothing works BUT

if you put

insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko pll2_l_val=53

into the script then it works just fine with boh OC and LCD density mod...

its just like post 12 said a the end... tthe only thing i changed was the 74 at the end for 53 cuz i dont want to kill my battery running it at 1.4ghz

so at the end my visionary.sh file is:

su

insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko pll2_l_val=53

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /data

setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 205

busybox killall system_server

but i should be working with:

su

insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /data

setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density 205

busybox killall system_server

sorry its getting a little of topic i just wonder if we can find out why its doing that....
