Im running a rooted desire at moment got my dhd today on upgrade i was going to sell it and keep my desire. Is this a bad idea? Just havent looked into the rooting scene with the dhd is it as easy and is thr as many roms ect?

I went from a Hero to a DHD so the jump was massive, but I'm not sure you will notice that much of an improvement over a Desire.
Rooting is very easy if you know what you're doing though, and there are some great ROMs available. Probably not as many as Desire, but the quality is there.
Why not take a look where all the magic happens:

I'd use the DHD as it's newer and has bigger screen etc, but ultimately your decision

Hi forum...
If I want to buy a new phone now, replacing my X10, not because I hate my X10, but because I would love to play with custom roms, then what phone should I go out and buy?
I have 2 or 3 things I would want in the phone, though.
1. good working gps reciver.
2. Fm radio.
3. Nice big screen and battery.
I have NOTHING against the X10, I only want a phone more for fun, and to play with custom roms...
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i would suggest Desire HD
If you are a ROM freak HTC is the way to go.

How did you know it is great ? Have you used it ? Sure the ROM in that is great but what about other aspects of the phone ? Do you know it has a good working GPS ? Do you know it has a FM Radio as OP has asked for ? And do you know if its not going to be locked down ?
This looks promising. Teathered too...

I think not!
But seriously, im saving for the Desire HD already just to keep my spirits up. Ill keep my X10 though i think. Make an "ok" backup phone ;-)

The desire hd looks insane good. Makes the iphone4 look 5 years old.
well for sure, not a SE anymore
my nect could be an evo or the nectversion of it xD
I'm going with Captivate.
Worse camera and GPS issues but better CPU/GPU, good screen, more ram, hacked bootloader, custom roms (just not a froyo one still, but it will and at least it already has 2.1). Desire HD is nice but plain expensive still (it's new anyway).
HTC is the way to go because as i see it the HTC phones have the most customs roms available and are better supported by devs and HTC.
I had a HTC Hermes, after that a Diamond, after that a Touch HD, and all of them were supported by devs and flashed Roms every day.
I must say that were great times. I hope we can do it on our X10 sooner or later.
I would buy a Desire HD
I would go for desire HD or a gsm version of droid x.
I'd wait to see what WP7 has to offer. The UI looks unique and sleek. X10 styled WP7 will be attractive if it comes early.
HTC Desire HD will be my next phone, and i have already pre orderd it.
Honestly, if Apple allowed Widgets, I might go that route - but they don't so I'd lean to something like a Driod X.
I'm hoping I can get my hands on a desire hd for sure....if not I will definitely be going back to HTC....I do love my X10 a lot....but I hate SE now lol.
I'm currently looking at the HTC HD2 right now...I really like winmo to...I might give it a shot.

hypothetically speaking, if you have an option of chosing either desire hd or mytouch 4g, which one would you pick??

i'd go with the desire hd for sure.. sad thing is, i'm not sure when it will come out on TMOUS, if it would even come out.. so i settled for MT4G, whish isn't really that bad.. i just like the looks on the desire hd, and of course the big screen..

that's why this is hypothetical question, it looks like all the features are the same with these phones but there are key differentiators like battery life, screen size, track pad, and ofcourse the stock froyo. So, I thought I would ask which ones people prefer over the other.
Hi... can we get new sense UI too?
No. No we can't.
Nor will we ever. HTC doesn't give a monkey's f**k about updating "midrange" handsets.
Well that's sucks...

Come on guys I think there is a dev who is up to the task....Anything can be ported, right?
So I went and peeked into Desire Development the other day and saw that the new Sense was ported, and I was like "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn".

If our Legend got a 800x480 screen and Armv7 CPU, everything could be much more easier.

hi all...
i m looking forward to buy a new android phone. i have 3 options.
1. HTC Desire
2. HTC HD2
3. Samsung Galaxy S I9000
can u help me choose please? which one u think is better and why?
desire/hd2, i prefer the desire though, hd2 has a lot of stuff going on around in dev, flash like crazy haha (im not a flashaholic), but then again it is fun to try out quad-boot os on your phone, id just stick with android though
Galaxy s = iphone knock off plus crap build quality and lag.

Nah... Desire is old... IMO if you want a Desire you might as well get a Nexus One. But I'm a geek

Oooooh you were sticking to the OP's choices. lol
hd2 provides you with a bigger screen but with less color compare to desire... hd2 has also a newer processor, but his running wm... I would take hd2 and flash it to run android...
Galaxy s may be the best on paper but its laggy. If you want to mod it go for the hd2. If you want an official gingerbread update go 4 the desire

lol.... yeah i limited the choice to these 3 phones, because cellphones are are really expensive here in Pakistan.
i sold my wildfire for 20K, and HD2 will cost me 27k, Desire and galaxy round about 30k. (my budget wont allow me to go higher)
Desire. Friend got one, and, its pretty amazing. Seems to literally get hot though.
(Although, after comparing his stock ROM, and mine with CM7 and ADW Launcher EX, he feels my phone is far smoother and faster than his. hint hint. )

Samsung is officially going gingerbread on sgs ,I have an sgs but it's bricked apart from that I'd say go for the galaxy put a good jacket on it you'll never think of how it feels again + trust me you will thank yourself once it's "pimped",max it out you'll see.......

thank you all for the comments.
after reading the comments, i have decided to for HTC Desire.
Guys, this a now help thread for ppl that couldn't post in the dev section yet, so if ur a new xda member , don't hesitate to ask questions here
To be honest I think one of the only things the community of the Legend is still waiting for is ICS with working wi-fi/gps/HWA. And since you can't really port that's not going to be great. But we got lots of Froyo/Ginger choices already...
well i'm eagerly waiting for a working cm9,both because it's ICS and CM. i'm very pleased with cm roms,so i tend to stick to them, but i'm open viewed and would take any rom,if no other reason then just for fun and for testing.
thansk for the offer
Is it possible to have a combination of Vanilla + Sense, like SuperVillainZ ROM found across the more popular HTC devices?
CM9. 2.2 & 2.3 are fully covered.
Thanks for the opinions guys

cool, ill see what i can do, mate, im actually still using the Legend, its my first Android phone and i love it its what got me into android and dont wanna waste it, im using both phones now
Senseless, speedy ICS with WiFi working.
ICS won't be made available as the Legend does not have enough RAM (384MB), the Adreno 200 is aged, and MSM7227 won't have enough CPU power to run it. We already have enough Froyo/Gingerbread ROM's for this phone. Is it a great phone? Yes. However, there are quite a few newer HTC phones that the devs are putting their time and energy into. Don't contradict me about the chinese ROM going around. As long as the devs can't find the appropriate driver modules for the WiFi, BT, and GPS, it's not worth using.
Maybe a MIUI port? Now MIUI is open-source, so I think that it's possible
Im gonna see what i can do, i think ill start with a very clean cm7, but ill work my way thru. Cheers for the opinions guys !!!
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Kay, ive decided. Imma name it Extreme Legend Fuse, its gonna be based on latest stable version of CM7. Theres no use of making an ICS if it wont work properly as we have no ICS sources specifically for the
legend From HTC. No use. I dont wanna make a rom which wont work.
Im gonna keep updating u guys with news on fuse (WOW that rymes lol)
So this is gonna be a custom version of CM7
Stay tune for more info on Fuse
