Android Tutorial: How to Install Android 2.3 Gingerbread on HTC Desire HD, HTC EVO 4G, HTC Wildfire, and Droid Eris
anything for Desire Z in the works?
i'm very interested in this
guys, I have said this many times but cyan won't release 2.3 until the hardware is flawless. But he said we can build it ourselves!!!
Just use cyan vision vendor files to build STOCK aosp gingerbread. I can't coz I don't have a desire z.
Cyanogen is an open source guy, we have access to what he has access to.
Look we know we all really want 2.3, none more than me
Team Villain and CM are both working on builds and probably others but at the moment there is simply too many bugs and things just not working for a release to be out.
Team Villain have always had the policy to only release things that work, and CM is the same, no respecting dev wants to release a buggy build, even if everyone knows it will be buggy.
We will just have to wait.

The reason I posted this is not to get "we all want" and "we need to wait" responses.
I posted because this seem to work to some extent on HD so someone skilled could port to Z. Then some brave users could try and we would know what works what doesn't. And when Cyanogen works on it we could already have fixes to be given to him for it to work on Z. Saving time, getting it done quicker. Contribute, not wait.

When? When it's done. We'll just have to wait, or contribute ourselves!

Thats nice that you have these thoughts, but to be honest... we don't need to "port" it to the Z since all the files to build it are readily available. And bombarding cyan with our "fixes" will only make it harder for them as they are 3 steps ahead of us already. They have GB on their test devices and are working on fixing the issues. Just follow them on twitter and see their progress. And if you want GB as soon as possible, check the teamdouche buildbot for the Z
Ok then, I will keep killing time with daily BF BC2 sessions ;-)

I've just read that Gingerbread will be directly (officially) ported to the Desire Z by end of June? If so, 4 months left to that promised "quick update" from HTC.

Yeah matey... i can confirm this thank god... i emailed htc and they said the Desire Z.. Desire HD and the G2 will get updated in summer 2011.. although some are skeptical of the G2 update.. which is understandable.. i dont own a G2 so i really couldnt confirm if it will be updated, but the HTC support personnel did include the G2 in the list. soooo i guess its fingers crossed for the G2 people
gutted.
HTC UK have just advised on facebook no official gingerbread update for the desire. so i'm guessing we arn't going to get the Kernel source
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/notes/htc-uk/desire-and-gingerbread-update/225607660802056
bang goes the Camcorder and grafix fixes
Terrible news...
Good thing the Evo 4G exists, guys!
4G will be good aswell ?
The Evo 4G is a minor refresh of the HD2 with Android 2.2.
Both models are built on Qualcomm Snapdragon platform with 1 GHz processor,
the EVO 4G uses a newer processor QSD8650 so im not sure.
But will it get Ginger ?
It's out already from 4th June.
The update was meant for 6th June, but HTC has released it early for users.
(Read UPDATE, not kernel source code)
Maybe if enough people put a request comment on their desicion they will release the 2.6.35 kernel source code for the Desire. (Let's hope so)

don't you just love PR power?

...and?
I doesn't "have" to be the Desire. The Z and the HD are also portable. Its simply that the Desire is the most similar in terms of hardware.

Then indeed it's great news I always thought that the glitches,cam and rest bugs maybe will be fixed after released code of Desire but if DHD and DZ also can do this...what are we waiting for?
so is this true?

Dont you think youd hear more about it? This was posted on the 22nd, its the 27th. I think we would have a nice new rom by now.
On factual info, this is not real. On the dev site for htc (posted in first post) there is no plain desire gb kernal released yet. Only desire hd/z/f/b/q/r etc. we dont need those, we have them. Sorry, still have to wait (I know, arrrrr tell me about it)
Yes. The reason we cannot use the drivers for the Desire Z HD and S are because those devices are using the 2nd generation Snapdragon. The Desire and HD2 use the 1st generation Snapdragon.
Which brings me to this. Couldn't we try using some of the drivers from the Evo 4G? The Evo also uses the 1st generation Snapdragon.

Unless the drivers are unified and backwards compatible like ATI/AMD Catalyst drivers or NVIDIA ForceWare drivers.
Now that the GB Kernel source code for Desire is released, can it resolve the camcoder issue...?

I woke up in the morning with this news. I have to say that I was very disappointed. Even though I anticipated that HTC won't release an official ICS update for the Desire Z, this news still took a toll on me :-(
now all we can hope for is a better port from the devs (there're already good ICS ROMs for the Desire Z, the Icecream JIBwich ROM I am using is already much better than stock GB, but I do want to have a better camera driver)
well, for anyone who still hopes, at the very least, HTC haven't said that they won't upgrade the Desire Z, and there's still this petition
http://www.change.org/petitions/htc-release-an-android-4-0-update-for-the-htc-desire-z
Another thread about a petition?
no, I about the official upgrade list. In my opinion, the petition is one of the reasons HTC should NOT upgrade the Desire Z, if you look at the petition count.....
Desire hd is getting it so we are fine.

Then i misunderstood it. But to get back at a quote you say in your op. HTC never said that the DZ wont be getting the upgrade, there is always a chance of getting it. Unless you got source on that.

!!IMPORTANT!!
A fellow dutch user pointed me to this link, if you guys all could be so friendly to sign that petition and than maybe we will get us a official version of ICS for our Desire Z!

Dude calm down! it's just the first wave. I'm pretty sure HTC going to update our device later on. if not we still have CM9, Virtuous.. ect.
I think we will get it in the second wave imo
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
I think the second wave has already been announced. It included the Desire HD and the Desire S. I might be wrong though.

Those devices are in the first wave, no second wave has been announced.
I hope we get an update soon.
Most of my friend with different HTC models get the update. I have the desire z and i got nothing up to now, except 2.3.3 last year.
Remember, HTC has never said that they've finalized the list of devices to be upgraded. We still might get it, we may not. Besides, enough phones will be upgraded to give us a 100% working ICS rom anyway from CyanogenMod and others.

Yeah, well, our phones are pretty old, two years now. Most companies rather just spend their money pushing their new line of phones instead. I use the Andromadus ROM and it works very well, running ICS 4.0.3
From the CyanogenMod Q&A
Q: [Device with less than 512mb RAM shipped] gets CyanogenMod 9?
A: No

You don't need to use CyanogenMod 9 to have ICS. And HTC Vision is listed with 512MB RAM anyways.
I am about to give up on cm9 and go backwards. I want a 1.6 super d rom from my g1 on my g2. Hell I might go back to eclair if I could, just to flash something different. ...
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
It is possible to port old roms but really... maybe I'm in the minority but there are so many roms to choose from on the g2 why are so many people hung up on needing a solid ics build. I get it the latest is the greatest but what more are you really going to get out of it? Plenty of amazing aosp, cyanogen based and sense roms out here that work amazing, how can anyone be so unsatisfied to want to go back to a donut rom?
