Hi,
I know that the Desire HD builds contain the new HTC Locations app. Can this tool also be downloaded and run on other Android builds, if yes, is there a link?
Thank you
no as far as am aware its only included in the desire hd rom, dunno if they would be able to port it to another android build, you know the guys and gals on here they are pretty niffty at getting things to work, you probly find that they will concentrate on developing the hd desire rom rather than porting things to other builds, i think it will be highly unlike you'll see it in any of the other builds, they might do it eventually for froyo, as its only on sense just now.

..As in, there havent been many updates from the devs for some time on DesireHD roms- is there a particular reason? Is the camera still the main hickup? Thanks
I`d love to have a Desire HD build with working camera, I`d use it undoubtedly! I love the new Sense interface with Skins, it`s wonderful!
It hasn't stopped, but there's so many things all happening at once that some things take a lot longer. With the hd builds the camera was the main issue, they had to wait for HTC to release the kernel source before it could be worked on properly...now the main development is focused on getting it to work on the desire as that is closest to our hd2's. Once its all sorted with the desire it shouldn't be long before its all ported to hd2. With the previous desire builds they are a good deal of the way to getting everything all worked out for us, but with the hd builds and the new kernels, they pretty much have to go back to square one and custom build everything all over again. Also with the upcoming release of magldr for nand install Android, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the devs are collaborating to get everything ironed out on that so the release is as smooth as possible, once the hype has died down after the release of magldr, maybe hd development will resume a bit more quickly. Hope this helps...I know, its hard being patient when the available builds are so damned tempting already!

Hey, rather than starting a new thread just thought I'd ask here.
Can someone please links to the threads containing desire HD (with Sense) ROMs and just give a quick outline of what is and isn't working. Hope it's not too much trouble
(and i tried searching but I got too many results )
Cheers x
Hey guys, been searching and trial-and-erroring. Is it possible to get the newer Sense from one of the HD builds onto a Desire build?
I've been using Mdeejay's HD build for the longest, but the lack of camera progress has been a major drawback. I know the source is out there, and I think someone is working on it... but the HD builds seem to not be garnering any attention and rumors are that they are going the way of the dino.
I've been trying out some of the other excellent builds, and am currently using cmylxgo's TMOUS build (MDJ based). It is very good, but I still miss the newer Sense from the HD. (Plus the higher resolution was nice... but oh well, LCD density will have to do.)
I've fiddled around with pulling Rosie and some of the widget .apks from the MDJ build, but always wind up with a frozen boot or no Sense at all. I'm assuming there is much more in the framework that needs to be updated/changed, but I was hoping that a Sense update would be a simple drag-n-drop.
Anyone have any input or pointers? Or even any gossip about HD builds or camera progress?
Thanks,
Ryan
This is only possible if HTC did officially release their latest to the desire mobile. This is going to happen before the end of December. Visit the Pocketnow.com, so you can confirm this.
hi everybody
ive come up with an idea,now the android builds/roms we use are normally from other android phones,Each android phone does something a bit different compared to others.Now Htc desire HD rom is slightly Different from a Desire Z rom.heres my idea,how about combining all the different features of the sence roms into one big build,you would need to use data to sd(euro hd2) Unfortunently im no dev,im just a graphic designer,heres what im thinking,base would be 2.3 gingerbread or froyo 2.2.1,have the menu from the nexus s(2.3),dunno if thats a 2.3 feature or not.720p recording if we can get that working,Evo keyboard,Strait bar lockscreen,bit like from the HD mini,Evolution sence bar(the bit at the bottom with the menu phone and personalise buttons),Framework close to stock but with a Battery indicator,Rotatable Sence From the Desire Z,Music player from Desire HD,Would be a big rom but crammed full of features,best of everything,obviusly HTC wont bring out android update for us so lets all do it.The Unofficial HTC HD2 android Rom,Any Devs wanna take up the challenge
I like the idea, but I think it would be impossible to do. htc employs teams of engineers working on these builds full time for one. And they have all the best in equipment and testing. So resources is an issue right off the bat.
In addition to that, I'm sure there's a reason why you can't move data.imgs from one build to another, they're probably not compatible.

Like the reply above me says... we don't have an army of devs and millions of $ to spend on development. It's amazing what the devs have been able to do, but the main reason they have accomplished what they have is because there were similar devices we were able to port from. We are running a port... I don't think the hd2 will ever have its own Rom not taken from another device.

Dude, its a nice thought but to wuote agent smith. Your living in a dream world neo.
i think it is possible,just take a bit of time,you just gotta look at it from a different angle.i have a theory about how to do it just a Dev would need actually need to do it,could even set up a Bounty if needs be but would be great to see.Base Rom we can use The desire Z 2.2.1 rom as base as its lighter than HD,i dont think Gingerbread is coming to desire Z just yet.So use that.Then incorperate the Desire HD music player(i have an apk for that)Near original framework but with a battery percentage in the battery icon(i have an apk for that).Evolution Sence bar or rEvolution you can get here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891520 ,Evo keyboard i think we can use HTC_IME wich i have an apk for aswell,you would need to use data to sd wich has allready been done becouse it would be a big build,All we need is for someone to bring em all together to Creat the rom,If somebody was wanting to do it i can put those apk up on here for download
Hi,
I've been playing around with different roms that are available here on XDA. Currently I've gone back to the first NAND "Stock Desire" ROM by Cotulla. Now I see all the developers here doing there best to get a good Desire HD rom on the HD2, but my question is, why...
As far as I know the only difference between the Desire ROM and the Desire HD ROM is HTC Sense and a different version of Locations. All other features are the same in both roms. So what differences am I missing?
Grtzz Will
Well ill answer your question with my question..
...why not?
The sense version is a big enough reason in itself. There is many differences between the sense versions of Desire and DHD.
i much prefer the version of sense on the HD builds than i do with the standard desire roms
there are difference in it, such as the last running apps in the list when you drag the notifications down, there are extra themes i believe aswell

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Plus cursor keys on keyboard, re-arrangeent of homescreens via leap, etc.
Is this something someone here can port for the HD2??

I would love a sense gingerbread rom, simply because I love the sense clocks and phone dialer
And Sense has better integration with MS Exchange...

It will be great. I can not make without sense , and that is what is stops me to insstall something different.
Count me in!
Sense with gingerbread would be great
I think we have just to wait that HTC releases a Gingerbread update for the Desire HD or the Desire Z. With all the work already done by the devs here for porting these devices to the HD2, it shouldn't take a long time to have a Gingerbread + Sense on our beloved HD2.
Rumors says that a Desire 2 has Gingerbread w/sense..

the desire s and the incredible s both have sense with gingerbread so may porting their rom would help
I think the devs have to wait for HTC to release the sdk for it too.
i want this happened too..
if i am correct a couple of days there was a gingerbread Rom on android.h2roms.com which supports sense. Unfortunately there is non avi at this moment. Can any1 confirm this? Or was this just a mistake which was corrected now?
As far as I now, there are no Gingerbread builds with real HTC Sense.
Most are fakes, because they are just including some third party widgets for the clock and the weather. They should not be allowed to put the word Sense in the title of their build.
Gingerbread w/Sense
All who are interested. Check out this thread. I haven't used it yet (still downloading) but looks very promising.

do you know any nand build of that rom? please post it, thanks!
Would certainly be interested in this. Good luck to anyone looking into it!
It would be nice to have a Gingerbread Sense build, not a "Sense-themed" one.
i simply like sense because you can manually link your contacts to fb. I like having my contact info with pictures =)
Try Sense of Eclipse. Very good Desire HD build with Sense 2.1 and a lot of Sense 3.0 stuff.
