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.

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 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

Indeed, this build is exceptional
Fast, smooth, no glitches..
And this particular one has the g-sensors enabled

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.
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
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 would say HD2

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.
