So I'm curious to know, if anyone knows what the difference between these 2 ROM's are? I know the hardware difference, but aren't they the same ROM? I'm just curious because I see both available here and in the Nexus One forum.
Z has landscape in the launcher

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.

ive tried a number of diff' DHD builds, & in my experience the desire z build by dandiest is noticeably faster than anything else ive tried, & yes the battery does appear to drain at a slightly slower rate with fewer spikes (observed in current widget log).
i guess the beauty of running android from the SD is it doesn't take too long to test,
this is only the 2nd day of using, but so far it has been v.stable, id definitely recommend trying that build.
thx I'll test dandiest rom soon now I have to test desire ram from lord darkstone, If things go bad with that i'll try dandiest
Theoretically the desire z build should be faster than desire hd builds. The desire hd uses a 1ghz processor and 768mb of ram compared to 800mhz processor and 512mb ram from the desire z. When development were in progress to fix the camera on the hd builds, I did bring up this point and ask if they should be concentrating on the desire z camera instead. I suppose the desire hd build is better for the hd2 because both phones have the same size screens. On the other hand both the desire z and desire hd run the new sense ui and with the specs of both phones and running android on the hd2 we don't use the full ram what the hd2 can do so the desire z should be better performance wise for our hd2.
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.

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.

Hi there,
currently I'm using a SD version of the Desire HD build from MDJ.
I'm going to change to NAND as soon as I find the (for me) "perfect" build.
I'm checking every day, what new builds has been released over night.
For the moment Nexus builds arent't an option, because I don't like the camera and some other optical stuff.
Anyway, I was looking for new Desire HD builds and found now a Desire Z one... After short testing of the SD version I can't find any differences
Does anybody know the differences relation with the HD2 (Leo)?
Thanks for your help
OK, for anybody who is interested...
it's seems that there are more ore less minor diefferences BUT since the Desire Z has an hardware keyboard, Sense UI can be used in landscape mode
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.
