We ve all noticed that builds made from HD and EVO are of higher resolution than the ones from Desire / Nexus One.
Once you try them (evo/desireHD) you think that you ve got a higher resolution.
All are 480x800, which means the res its the same for the screen, but i think not for the build.
LCD Density is a workaround, but truely ? it sucks when the keyboard becomes tiny and everything else as well.
Is there any way to have CM6 based on DesireHD or EVO or even more builds from EVO instead of Desire as base?
I know that desire's is the most compatible but it sucks if you compare it with HD.
Even in WinMo6.5 graphics looks a bit better.
We have bought a 4.3" display phone because we like having big screens. Not because we are blind
There already a couple of dhd and evo builds, why is that not enough for you? I'm glad we have this variety here, not everyone likes sense.
And no CM is never going to have a sense release. It's not based on desire by the way, CM is its own base.

Sorry if it has been asked before, but is it possible to make a build from the Slide's rom?
If not, then what about just the pull-down lockscreen?
Any sense build has the pull down lock screen. Mdeejay just released a desire z port. Looks good from his screenies. No camera hope its not a big deal..

Yeah but on the Slide, it pulls the wallpaper down too when you pull the slider down and the lockscreen wallpaper can be changed independantly of the homescreen wp. All in all its the best Sense rom I've seen, if maybe a bit girly lookin to me somehow. And since the slide has a slower proc and less ram than HD2, it stands to reason that it should run pretty fast if ported to the Leo right?
Bumped because I still think it would be a great rom to run on the Leo
I would think the resolution differences would cause a problem. All builds I've seen so far are based on WVGA devices, not HVGA.
Ohhh. I was unaware of the resolution difference. I just assumed they were both wvga because they both have nice big hi-res screens. This is the first I have heard of hvga, isnt it possible to accomodate the res difference by adjusting the screen density kinda like on the hyperdroid build the density id different and the gui takes up less screen space? Probly just wishful thinkin, but Im tellin you a rooted MyT3gS build would make Sense worth running on HD2
what is running on the mtslide is a version of sense. check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780525
i think thats what you were looking for. lockscreen pulldown included. this is for the right resolution, ROM has been tweaked by mdeejay for HD2.
HVGA devices were standard for Android before the Desire and NexusOne. The Hero, Eris, MyTouch, G1, all those are HVGA, it's a middle ground between QVGA and VGA. I'm a bit new to Android but I do know that with WinMo, most porting is done from a higher resolution to a lower resolution, since shrinking graphics causes no loss in quality. But if you go from a lower resolution to a higher resolution, images are expanded, and a loss of quality occurs. So you'd need resources of the resolution you're porting to. Hope that makes sense... I think this is why no HVGA roms are made for the HD2 (besides the fact they're outdated).
yeah I gotta say the mytouch SLIDE ROM is cool, I used way back on my myTouch 3G when it was ported, it was pretty cool, but coan only imagine how badass it would be on the HD2
Hi Guys,
So there are many Desire HD Sense build around now for the HD2. I've tried them few though most of the issues have been sorted out and are smooth also. They still don't feel as snappy as the regular sense and I don't see much advantages over regular sense...the flying animations are also there in MDJ Revolution build....Is it about the extra eyecandy only for which all this hype is...or am I missing something
Regards
Im on froyo hd 4.3 by mdeejay. AND IT ROCKS. Desire HD builds have latest gen sense which is highter resolution(Several elements are smaller so that they fit in the screeen) that Evo and everything just looks better.
For me the bigest advanced of HD builds, is the extended goodies in Browser, and for me is faster than other froyo's.
Well I don't use the inbuilt Android Browser Much...its mosty opera mini for me..becoz its faster and saves bandwidth...
One thing i liked though is inbuilt task list in notification bar...its definitely a cool feature..
The percentage battery bar, keyboard with arrows and revised font size are worth the using of the Desire HD Rom.

for me: 1)lcd density (displays more on the 4.3 inch screen, unlike before...it showed the same as a 3.2" device)
2)htc sense . com
3)customizable (skins, skins, skins!!!!)
3) improved camera
I agree with op, the desire hd builds lag.. This is no fault of the developers as it lags on a DHD...
Personally vanilla android wins my vote.

i liked the desire HD build until the superfast rom i got with quadrant score 2775 :S itz the fastest smoothest i had till now... no lags at all..using 2 memory cards now... one for desire HD one for JDMS ultimate

I like the fact that you can re-order your pages, which I've not seen in any other build (I don't think it's in the Evo build).
When you click home twice, it brings up the pages and if you long-hold on one you can drag it round to re-arrange them.
That's a very nice feature that I'd like to see introduced into other launchers.
I'm with FrAsErTaG though - vanilla Froyo FTW!
^^yes, ordering of pages is nice...but its mostly a one time thing...atleast for me..so once its set...its all set...
Funny, I'm not able to see higher pixel density or such...its appearing exactly like sense clean which i used earlier...i'm on core droid HD v0.2 btw

What are the benefit/downside for Desire versus Desire HD builds?
I read somewhere that Desire may boot up faster whereas Desire HD may look better on HD2? Any comments are welcome.
I have SD/RAM darkstone right now, which uses Desire base. What's a good comparison RAM build for Desire HD?

All you are going to get here is opinion. I would honestly suggest backing up your data, and trying both out. The only true way to make a decision is to try each one.
For my opinion:
I use Desire base, not HD. I believe it is more suited to our phones specification, it is less buggy, and does everything I need. Even 'stock' HD's have issues that HTC are trying to solve, so the devs here have no chance to fix some things, until HTC do. Also, I have a 512 HD2, so the space issue is a big player for me. If you have 512MB leo, you're probably better off with a desire build, if you're on TMoUS, sure, go ahead and try a build you like the look of.
HTH
Desire HD has some nice eye candy and some new HTC widgets..that's just it (also there HTC sense online services, but i don't use them)
Personally I use the desire HD/Z hybrid (CMYLXGO's 15Jan one) becoz I like the eye candy and it works fine for me without any hiccups. Initial DesireHD builds were laggy and buggy...but developer's have ironed out the bugs and phone feels as smooth as Desire build...you have to disable live wallpaper though...it has big performance penalty
Thanks. I may try it out since I have a tmo version. I assume the rom you recommended is non ram? I haven't tried an android sense yet either so it may be somewhat worthwhile.

b4 anyone says Google before starting a thread, id like to say ive done nothing but googled this lol... ok to the point.
i love my hd2 which is romed with a normal desire rom. it runs and performs better then the desire HD roms ive found (better battery too) . but the desire hd roms just look so much cleaner and eye candy. even thou the sense interface structure is almost identical on both roms types, the desire hd looks more clear and clean. Fonts are smaller and shaper and the overall screen resolution seems higher. so what do i want?
Well i can live with the lower screen resolution feel of the standard desire but is there anyway to decrease the font size of the text globally which would apply to the htc sense interface widgets(mail, bookmark, freindstream etc)...lastly anyway to port the desire hd skins? (slate for example)..ive found several ports but they only work on desire hd/z build roms. Not found too much on ports to normal desire.
Would like to thank everyone in advance for their help.
My ultimate goal is to have the stability and performance of the normal desire rom with the some of the look and feel of the hd/Z roms. If we can decrease the font size and port some skins we can achieve this.
Ehi guys, i have an htc hd2, and a friend with htc desire asked me for a change.
What do you think?
Wich is better, and why?

Well very similar hardware so neither is really better, but I personally would take it. Android is native on desire so things, I would assume, would run slightly smoother, and the desire now has full (well nearly full) HW acceleration lol. Just my opinion.
It depends, advantages of the Desire are the properly multitouch screen (not just 2 like on the HD2) and native Android. HD2 on the other hand has a bigger screen, more OSes/customisation and is (I would assume) generally much, much easier to flash. IMO, stick with the HD2
I would say HD2, you really notice the smaller screen,
The HD2 has limitless posibiltys : WP6.5 one day WP7 the next Android the day after Ubuntu after that,
Desire is android one day android the next.
There is no real speed difference and android on the HD2 when flashed correctly is just as good if not better with so many ROMs.

i had a desire, then i bought an HD2, sold my Desire 4 days ago, the HD2 is a great phone about the native android experience i found my HD2 ran android better than my desire and it have much greater OC, the desire only goes to 1.2 ghz, where my HD2 goes to 1.6 ghz,
and about the touch screen the touch screen on desire is even more sucky than the HD2, only 2 point touch screen and ****s up somethimes it thinks the fingers are at the opposite points
edit: sorry for my bad english :/
HD2 is awesome in my opinion.
