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,
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.
I have seen it asked, I have NOT seen it answered and maybe it should be, we are not all Android literate .... whats the difference between the builds. what makes Froyo differant then Evo, what makes Desire so special ? should be a sticky if people do answer... how do you have an Android QA and not have that front and center
ok im not going to get into too much detail on this because the information is readily available all over these forums....
froyo = the version of android (2.2) the one before was eclair (I think) the next one will be gingerbread..... google decided it would be a good idea to name them after food for some reason....
my guess is that the company is secretly run by a 4 year old.....
desire / evo = different models of android phones that the android builds are taken from......
Froyo means Android v2.2. This can be EVO or Desire. Desire and EVO builds are made of the HTC RUUs of the devices "EVO" or "Desire".
Please correct me if I'm wrong xD...
was too slow
nah my fault..... was too quick
Sorry I'm also new to all this. So apart from the apparent sources of the builds, how are they different in terms of functionality and compatibility to our HD2?
I have tried both the desire build and the evo build, and didn't notice much different.
However, I have heard people (including Darkstone) saying that the desire builds work better overall due to hardware similarities. As far as I know, MDJ has also stopped updating his only evo build, and is currently actively working on 3 desire builds. I'm running his evo build right now and loving it.
I'm just wondering what are the specific underlying differences between an evo and a desire build? Why would some users and clefs prefer the desire build over an evo build?
Thanks!

ahh haaa see this guy gets my question =P I know that the builds are based on Official android releases ... duh, but whats the REAL difference in what they are capable of. I to have installed many different builds here and have favorite chefs and builds I use daily, but I am still not sure what the real difference is other then minor cosmetics in most cases ....
Guys I'm been using MDJ and MCCM Gingerbread build ,both of them had the camera running , but why so hard to get the Camcorder to function is it due to the kernel,driver or something else ... Can somebody here that can share your experience with me i want to tweak the build my self if i know where to started thanks .
Well the current Gingerbread builds are based off of the SDK tools that were released to developers. And normal builds for HD2 are either based off of Desire HD, Desire, or Nexus One (There are others but these are the main ones.). So since an actual Nexus One Gingerbread rom has not been ripped yet and ported, you don't have the camcorder function working.

Thanks for the feedback so that's mean no way around can make the camcorder working until the actual Gingerbread rom has posted.

It's very, very, very, highly unlikely, but Google are pretty good. You shouldn't be waiting too long.
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.

Cheers
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.

The above article says that HTC Desire HD and Incredible S get Gingerbread on 16 May. Today is the 17th. Anybody got any news?
I'm sure these updates could help speed up the efforts to have a fully working version of Ginger-Sense for the HD2.
It's better to stick with your favorite Gingerbread Sense ROM for updates. If your favorite ROM thread is still support by the dev, he will surely upgrade his Sense build. Instead of making a thread that won't fasten his work. Give him a week or two after the official release date to update it in his thread.
I was asking because there's no Gingerbread Sense ROM that really works.
There are only 2 Sense ROMs that are Gingerbread based: imilka's Gingerbread Sense and RafDroid HD Gingerbread. Each of them has a long list of known issues and I assume they are made from bits and pieces of other Sense ROMs.
I assumed that having a Desire HD Ginger-ROM would stimulate other developers to get on board of similar projects.
I don't own a Desire HD so I don't know if the update has been released. I thought some of the people on this forum should know more on this issue.
I'm not trying to waste anyone's time, I was just asking a legitimate question.
PS: right now I'm running the same ROM that you are running.
of course there is no fully working one yet because the devs need access tothe source code and libraries used to be able to hack them to work on our hd2

There are no V2.3.4 sense rom from HTC available.

Have tried some, the stablest are the roms with the Sense 2.1 lock screen or the 3.0 one without the app-links. Pictures from the camera are a little bit unsharp with less light, camcorder works in no rom. But Dungphp said, it was working nearly. If you can live without the camera, you will have no graphical glitches. Had often start problems of the sense launcher, after install or after some reboot's.
All problems should be solved if HTC will release the code of the desire gingerbread kernel (!not desire HD, this is already released but hardware is more different).
I will check today and let you know.
Yeah i tried a few Ginger sense builds and whilst they are good they are still way too buggy for everday use not to mention the camcorder issue not resolved so i wont be flashing any more until they are stable.
Forgot the only solution to record a video. "Videocam illusion" record video's in .mov format at our sense gingerbread rom's, but the quality is not so good.

+1, returned to stable froyo sense.
The stablest one was the sbryan12144 v0.2, no installation problem's and everthing working very fast. But the glitches and the bad camera and camcorder was 1 problem too much for me.

Yes, I know what they need to make the magic happen. I'm also a developer (C++/C#/SQL Windows software), and though I have little to no experience on Android software & ROMs, I know how hard they work for everything they do.
BTW HTC should kiss XDA's feet each and every morning. I got more support on this site than I ever got from HTC.
^^^it just so
