[DISCUSSION] Desire Z development..who will be in??

I think i'm not the only one that hates senseUI so my following questions are:
1. what developers would put the effort to max this phone to it's best?
2. Will we have cyanogen?
3. will we have screen calibration?(i really god used with true color rather than "blue pushed" colors).
Please if any developer would love to put a bit of comfort to our hearts please post here that you would do the best for this phone
So looking forward for it!
Edit: posible to swich roms from G2 to z and other way? that would be nice,theoretically it's very posible same hardware!

looks like the G2 will have stock froyo(not sure) but i really hope we can cyanogen mod on this thing! still don't think desire z is going to replace n1 on the priority list.

You are quite right,but alao g2 might take the place of n1,and g2=desire z,it'q all a matter of rooting i think.
Damn i will really miss the led flash from n1) really really usefull for me.

LED flash? G2 also has a flash with its camera, if thats what you mean..
Also, to your 3rd point, if you're talking about the blue tinge issues and such, these screens won't have those issues as they're not AMOLED's, but SLCD's.

Aaaa sry i mean trackball led flash.

but no led track ball though still wonder if it'll steal the crown from the n1. afterall desire z isn't a "google experience" phone.

dang. i was hoping for super amoled display. well atleast with slcd we won't be getting anymore burnin. hopefully.

Unfortunately for now, Only Samsung has the rights to use S-AMOLED. Its their tech anyways. But I believe from next year fall onwards they will start selling S-AMOLED screens to other manufacturer's.

For me S-amoled is not that interesting anymore,really curios about this S-lcd and it's multitouch capabiliti really hope is better than n1 or desire.

Cyanogen tweeted earlier this month saying that he's getting a G2, so I think it's safe to say that the G2/Desire Z will have lots of developer/hacker support. Honestly, that's part of the reason I'm so excited about the G2. I'll likely be keeping it for the full 2 year contract, so having a phone that's so supported by XDA is a huge advantage.

Where are you in Europe? I know our European phones don't work over in the states on their 3G networks and pretty sure their phones don't work on ours....except for the Nexus one.

Id love to dev for it, just need a device. Just bought 2 new phones so I'm kinda broke

Totally agreed, I stuck with the G1 till now which definetly would not have been possible without everyone at XDA. You think that maybe Cyanogen might make a Non-Sense version and a Sense version of the ROM?

dam, i was hoping for a miracle, oh well... thx

I've been done something useful on Motorola Milestone and I've ever been in HTC WiMo devices modding etc.
Selling Milestone, HTC Desire Z already ordered and waiting for its arrival. I'm in.
First of all, we have to see if it's unlocked, then we can play with the system: putting Sense on CyanogenMod maybe is possible, we'll see. I'll do better than I can.
-kholk.

I'm a little curious which one would work on at&t 3g. I prefer no sense and think cyanogen will support that before sense.

From what I know, Cyanogen doesn't make Sense ROMs, they're only modded AOSPs..
Anyway, this waiting is killin' me....

High number of people selling their SGS for a DHD;)

This totally does not suprise me, and the guys keeping there SGS really are in total denial...
This beast will rock, I think the worlds leading smartphone has arrived... I love the leaked benchmark scores as well, twice as fast as a froyo N1!!! Imagine CM6.1 on this beast, this phone absolutly FTW))

The time is nearly upon us JD. I remember you saying a few months ago you were so looking forward to it.

+1 on JD and FTW for HTC Desire HD and Sense UI.

I think the Desire Z is the better of the two phones (which is why I have it pre-ordered rather than the HD).

Cheers Darren,
I sold my Nexus 1 month ago and i cant wait for this beastly phone mate... I was at the launch and it was fabulous))
I also tried the Z, it looks amazing but there was a problem with the optical trackpad, it wasnt at all responsive, and the HD very much stole the evening..
I cant wait until we get devvin' with this beast, and get CM on it ASAP

Now HOW can we get in contact with CM!?

cm have website with forum, so we cas ask there, but we should wait, all the last htc phone have vision of cm, so we can guess that the desire hd will not be so different.
btw: same hare, nexus one - sold DHD - in

When the desire HD is rooted someone will port CM to the Desire HD, As its a HTC phone it should be fairly easy in comparison to other devices such as Galaxy S.
We will just need ROOT and prefrably HTC to realese the kernel scource firly soon after realease.

I's not, though. Sure, it's a better choice for you if you want the physical keyboard, but that's really the only thing that's "better". Specs-wise the DHD is a better piece of hardware.

@RoadHazard
For people like me Desire HD is the only option.
Thing is, i can't deal with physical keyboards anymore.
Using Swype onscreen keyboard is 10 times faster.
I've gotten so used to it, nowadays i prefer onscreen keyboards.
You can buy SlideIt on androidmarket and see for yourself. (an alternative)

Riz what you have to understand is that there are guys who use there phone just for calling purposes, and there are guys who develop and utilise there phone to the maximum... I sold my Nexus a few months back and im eager to start devvin again Android is a way of life for a lot of people on here, so you do what you do, and we do what we do))
SGS is dead in the water now this beast is soon to drop... I played with a SGS last week and other than the pretty screen, its pretty average, maybe below average;(
JD

Really ?? I'm interested how you came to the conclusion the SGS is "average" ?
Sure the phone has some minor "hiccups" that I'm sure will be worked out once the Froyo final drops.

Why would you make a trade like that? The Desire is much better than the X10. Hell, any HTC phone is better than an SE android phone. It doesn't even have real multitouch!

Because the Desire has smaller screen, amoled, 5mp camera, its ugly compared to x10 and it doesnt have real multitouch! It has the same dual touch that N1 with the cross axis problemhas and its absolutely the same with the one that x10 will have. Also Htc phones are known for bad cameras and bad audio quality so i dont think any Htc is better than any SE, and if you think that is the case wth did you buy an SE phone? Now gtfoh we dont need trolls like you. And to OP i think you should post in Market and not here.

SE Phones are way better, they just can't keep up with android fast iterations.
Anyway, I'm enjoying a very good implementation of android 2.1 on my Xperia X10i now.
About multitouch, i guess this is the same problem the nexus one had when i got multitouch.(Just guessing)

hey guys chill out, don't discuss or compare the phones now here
I just want to have Xperia X10 in place of HTC Desire, if anybody is interested just let me know, simple!!

If you had a Desire Z I'd immediately trade mine. Heck, I'd almost trade for an original Desire if it were new but you live a little ways away (I'm in Canada) and we probably don't have matching bands anyway.
Good luck though.

Well you come here to an x10 forum and post uselless coments like htc is better than se.. no one asked you and everyone has opinions regarding whats better than what. Because htc is build better thats why the owners of the flagship device DHD are complaining about the really ****y speakerphone the missalined unicover, the really bad camera, the headphone jack on the bottom, the space gap between the battery cover , camera and the unibody and the screen edges raised? And thats what you call built better? Anyway lets stop this useless posts and please dont post tings like that in the future. As i stated to the OP this thread does not belong here but in the market place where you can trade, sell and buy products.

It seems SG users are qt happy with X10

Yes, we are all super happy with our X10s.
I think you have a better chance if you posted this in the Mobile Phone Bazaar section of Hardwarezone forums. Most certainly, there are more Singaporeans there.

I dont know why, but I have a feeling that there is some malicious agency at work trying to make xperia look trash. It is without doubt an awesome experience. And as long as you have it, why complain?

[Q] Is this phone worth upgrading from the HD7?

I have a HD7 and im getting alittle bored of it, and the screen size is alittle too big. There is someone locally who wants my phone and $75. Im not sure if its worth it or not. i know it is hardware wise, but i heard the atrix lags alot compared to others xD Thanks.

the atrix is the fastest phone you will use ONCE you install another launcher. This would definitely be an upgrade.
The people complaining, are generally irked by the bootloader being locked (which will hopefully be fixed soon) and therefore are harder on the phone.

I returned the Atrix yesterday. I really liked it, very fast and an amazing battery, but I had issues with it. My main issue was voice quality. Every single person I spoke to had trouble hearing me. I also didn't like the camera, pictures didn't look good in my opinion. Also, had issues with gps not responding properly from time to time, but I think that was just an issue with my unit not all Atrix phones. Now I'm waiting a week or 2 to see if I get the Infuse 4G, that phone sounds sick!!

just because no one else caught it, you can't install sense on this phone. Sense is HTC's version of motoBlur. Since this is a motorola phone, no sense. you can make it look like sense by installing launcherPro and skinning it, but that's about it.

The infuse is a downgrade from the galaxy S 2. single core vs dual, and bigger screen which i dont want. why did you return your atrix?

If you got bored with your hd7 then you'll get bored of the Atrix really fast. Poor developement due to locked botloader makes for a very boring device. We're also totaly at motos mercy for fixing broken features wbich they' ve do.e a terrible job of so far. I' d trade my Atrix for an hd2 in a second.

Lets go over this once. Sense, MotoBlur, TouchWiz, they are not just skins. They are woven into the android build by the respective manufacturers. To port to this phone you would need the ability to flash custom roms, which you can't do on the atrix. Yes there are a few like gingerblur, but those really aren't custom, just tweaked and skinned. Until motorola unlocks the bootloader (don't hold your breath that the devs will ever figure it out), there is no hope. This is why you probably won't see MIUI either.
getting past that, has there ever been a sense port for a non-htc phone? No HTC phone has had the same hardware as the atrix, so i'm betting it's hard to impossible.
not trying to be an ass, just making sure you understand. This is an awesome phone, just don't come in expecting all the openness of old HTC phones.

WOW Such development still going on XD

I'd just like to say WOW - I had a HTC Hero GSM (G2 touch i guess as I am from the uk and it was on tmo ) I've now got a desire, but you know what I actually miss the hero, it was my little Hero - I had it running faster (appearance - not clock speed) than the wildfire and the wildfire S (I used to tease my mates about it LOADS) I loved that little thing. Ok so I like the desire, its got better hardware yes, but I really dont care, and I'm glad we are getting ICS going on it, but at the end of the day its just a phone now. My ikkle Hero was never just a phone to me it was a HERO
Anyway I just decided to pop my head in and see if any1 was still developing for it, and wow am I surprised! it's got loads of people still keeping that awesome phone going! my congrats to the devs too for starting to look at ICS for the Hero! and to everyone else who it keeping it going.... I am impressed, and wish I had never given the hero to my g/f (now ex who bloody sold it for £50 -____- ).
I guess this thread has no real purpose... I just wanted to say well done people, and dont put your Hero down coz others have "better" phones, its all perspective. For the hardware the Hero has, it does so so sooooooo well.
Over and out

One Up for that
Some weeks ago my Desire just broke and I had to switch back to my old Hero.
I allways was interested in CustomRoms but never switched because I didnt wanted to lose warranty. But with the Hero already being out of warranty I started trying out Roms
Just great what the community is able to do with that hardware. So much better than the manufacturers rom. Current, faster and more functions build in.
If my desire wouldnt be repaired I would happily stay with the Hero.
But now I think I will give it to my g/f
regards
st

Well, I'm also back for a while only phone ever w/h (major) problems... though I miss the performance and size of my HOX..

Everyone is dumping the Hero to his girlfriend nowadays xD. You guys don't hear it screaming? "Don't leave me with the *****, she doesn't even know what Dalvik is" xD!
