That's the problem I have lol that's why I looking for someone to sway me to one lol with reasons ha ha ha

Well go for what you prefer. Afterall, it's YOUR phone. ;-)

i need answer to thesame question to..

You know in all this time you could have just tried them both.
OMG REALLY?! I never knew that!
So I spent all this time waiting for an answer where I could have just tried them out? REALLY?! OMG!
No harsh feelings. Reasons being I believe no one can tell you what you will like or not, for we are not you.

The only reason that anyone will go for the ddesire hd build is sense 2. If you feel that you simply cannot go without sense, by all means, desire hd. Just so to note that sense is also sense.com experience and all those.
gingerbread is nice, I am using it now, and seriously, not missing much of sense.
Also, stock GB will probably gives you more space compared to Desire HD as Desire HD build comes with sense, and that takes up space.
But end of the day, try both and decide for yourself as both build is rather mature till date.
If it was 2 months ago, I will suggest to go with a Desire HD as there were still a few things that are missing from the GB port.

i personally love the stock builds and dislike the sense ones but its all depends on what you want ... just make a list of good things and bad things which ever has the most good things wins ???

Hi guys thanks for comments trouble is I have tried them both and carnt decide so I was wondering what advantages one has over other so I can say yea that's for me lol must say at moment only thing I miss in gingerbread is the desire hd camera

[Q] HTC Wildfire S

I have just seen some wildfire s movies and the point is:
it's runneing gingerbread and it has a flip clock.
My question is: If the htc wildfire s has nearly the same things as the normal wildfire.
Can we (if the wildfire s is released) port gingerbread from the s version to ours.
Or will there be an update with the new sense and gingerbread.
Please could someone that know something about it say something to me, please.
And my second question is: Can someone already put the new sense in a rom.
I hope someone really know something about it.

It is not nearly the same. It is totally different. And, to get the new Sense, the code has to be released by HTC. Till that, there wont be a GB Sense Enabled ROM for the Wildfire.
Also, I am pretty sure with the release of the S, HTC will not conveniently forget the original Wildfire and probably not release any updates for it. Its basically an EOL Product now. Its the way the industry works.
After some monthes on the market every mobile phone is EOL. You are right!

If you really want gingerbread on wildfire, you can try Cyanogen 7. There is no htc sense with cyanogen though.
Just for the new sense

I know but I want the new sense xD
Its more like the aria or gratia (what is the point of that - considering the wildfire s is better) or legend or salsa than the wildfire (they are all the same phone in a different box with a different rom)

My question is: If the htc wildfire s has nearly the same things as the normal wildfire. -No, not the same hardware
Can we (if the wildfire s is released) port gingerbread from the s version to ours. -HVGA vs QVGA.... lots of resizing and xml, program modifying. And devs are not really interested
Or will there be an update with the new sense and gingerbread. - Not really with a spray of impossible
Please could someone that know something about it say something to me, please.
And my second question is: Can someone already put the new sense in a rom.
-I have not seen Sense 3.0 on a QVGA device, so low porting chances.
I hope someone really know something about it.

Hello people,
I'm using cm 7 right now.
This is a question to alex, I think that you know more about it.
So is it possible to port htc sense to cm7.
And so yes:How can I do it on my own.
So please answer.
edit ment normal sense.
It is possible to get the Gingerbread update but no way it would get the new Sense.

No it's not possible to port anything HTC to an AOSP ROM, there is a theme though which makes it look like HTC Sense!

Why not.
I mean can not one app ported to a aosp rom?
Simply because HTC apps require a framework that AOSP ROMS do not have as it is power consuming and is slow.

Sadly the HTC framework is not compatible with AOSP ROMS at the ROMS have to support it. Your english is fine, don't worry!

As djdevine2 stated above, porting Sense would be very hard or even impossible. Sense is like a bug that crawls really deep inside the Android OS. Eliminating is it hard, I imagine introducing it would be also very, very hard.
And not to mention the possible Legal issues that could appear
maybe there is hope
It has also been rumored that the HTC Wildfire will receive the recently released 2.3 Gingerbread update.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Wildfire
This is just a rumor, but there is still hope.
Doesn't look so. If you look at the citation on that particular line, and, read that thread in another forum, there is nothing there to state that HTC has said anything about 2.3 on Wildfire. It is simply a speculative thread, and, points to CM7 for 2.3 on Wildfire.
"You can have your doubts about when your phone maker will finally get around to delivering an Android 2.3 update (March if you're with HTC, June if Samsung, 2017 if you're unfortunate enough to own a Sony Ericsson), but the smartphone dev community doesn't work that slowly. The guys who build custom ROMs just for the sheer pride of it have already begun work on delivering Gingerbread to owners of HTC's EVO 4G, Droid Eris, and Wildfire."

OP has a serious and legitimate question. Sense is the only reason I'm waiting for the GB switch myself.
Obvious anti-troll is obvious.
HTC has already announced that will upgrade to android 2.3 with new sense the desire HD, desire Z, incredible s and the "classic" desire
I would love to have sense on my Gingerbread as well. But there are alternatives to sense also. Search Beautiful Widgets, Beautiful Animations, Beautiful Live Wallpaper, Beautiful Home Weather and install those.
I use em instead of Sense and I am growing quite fond of them myself.

First of all, welcome over to the HD2, Trib! I hope you are planning to cook for us, it would be cool to see what you come up with
I like the Beautiful Widgets (et. al.) but Sense has so much more to offer, like the Skins and FriendStream. I've recently switched to pulse from the sense News Widget, so I'm not married to the Sense widgets, but then there is more to Sense than the eye-candy.
I've tried and liked CM6 and CM7 ROMs in the past, but I was an early-adopter of Gingerbread and was turned off by the lack of available stuff in the Market. I plan to go back (err. forward) some day, but I am going to wait for Sense this time.
Thank you for the welcome, mate.
Hopefully there will be Honeycomb for us some day. I was thinking about waiting to cook then; there are too many ROMs right now for us in the Android HD2 marquie.
I do have some idea though. So if we never see Android 3.0, then I will show what I have in mind.

You are right about those widgets, but as some one else said,sense has much more things to offer.. For example people (phonebook),and smart dialer.. Those 2 things are only things that are keeping me away from gingerbread or CM builds.. If there is a way to have sense like phonebook and dialer,i would switch to ginger or CM instantly..

Google has specifically stated that Honeycomb is for tablets only and the UI wasn't intended to work on smaller screens. Engadget said something about a guy here on XDA hitting a settings switch in the SDK that turned Honeycomb into a smaller, phone-like aspect without the major UI stuff.
I'm not so concerned about Honeycomb, except that it threatens to fragment Android (tablet vs phones) right now. I think Gingerbread could be perfect if Google could get BT HID licensed without having to pay for it.
thx for the answers. i hope htc publish sense for gingerbread soon. it was very fast on my hd2.
i like sense. some functions a very comfortable.

Try "Dialer one" you can get it from market.
camera is one of the things that keeps me attached with sense.
Think HTC are missing a trick here... just release an official Sense ROM for the HD2 - they'll be selling HD2's by the bucketload!

What do you expect? You can be happy when it's booting. You can feel very lucky when you can play around a bit. If you do not need to make phone calls with your phone, try it ...
Sent from my Gingerbread on Dream using XDA App
as far as I can tell there is absolutely no point in honeycomb for G1
honeycomb is like gingerbread but with extra features for tablets and higher end phones
anyone porting Honeycomb to G1 is just being silly and are most probably not real developers , just winzip fail br0z
Thnx for the reply,
I wouldn't condemn anyone trying to port honeycomb onto lower end devices (I can't believe I just called the G1 a lower end device).
Anyway guys like those give guys like us (by the way am in kenya) a chance to get a taste of the real deal cz it might be a while before the zoom and it's cousins get here.
After all it did take 3 years before we could get an android device in our market.
For the developers, or whatever it is you'd like to call them, kudos
Sent from my HTC Dream
So, how did it turnout?
Super slow, the UI is not bad but that's just about it.
Nothing else works. But atleast I now know where to go to launch the apps if I ever get a honeycomb device.

you guys have a real incorrect concept of what this bootloader unlock means...
It isn't like magical rom ports are just going to fall from the sky.
We will probably still never get a sense port or a wp7 port, that is next to nearly impossible still.
The problem is that HTC havent released a sense sdk

Hahahahahha. Good luck mate. You gunna need it as it wouldn't run on our x10 as there aint enough ram. If the nexus s and the galaxy s are having trouble running 2.1 do you think the x10 could run 3.0 or 3.5. Think again. It wouldn't boot or the launcher would just keep getting killed as there wouldn't be enough ram. I have a sensation and that has 752ram some odd and that only has like 200 left foe apps so that shows what the sense is using. Nearly 500mb of ram. Its just a dream now buddy. I.think the x10 might just be able to handed 2.1 but that's still a push.

I Love the homescreen
My advice...if you want sense, buy a HTC. Otherwise forget it lol.
I dont think ​
Well what the other posts are trying to say is:
No sense sources are available
Would take A LOT of work to port sense to x10
It's impossible

I can't understand this obsession of some people with sense,The important things is not just that it runs on X10, We already have that, The imp. thing is how well it will run, Btw I think the only one who can do this properly is J who is apparently not willing in working on it & I can clearly see why, I mean why waste your time when you can work on such a greater, more valuable achievement like CM7
Good idea

Well it is easily the most polished android skin.
It is the longest and really incorporates social networking and functionality well.
The dialer and contacts are easily best I've used.
The weather application is very precise.
Lots of eye candy if that is your thing..
Earlier sense 2.1 isn't a memory hog either like the 3d sense 3 is.

[Memories] The nostalgic thread

Do you remember the good old Sense 2.1 times?
I used it for about three days and then went onto custom ROMs. I've tried many flavors (CM, MIUI) but I always went back to Sense ROMs.
I've never really been over the good old time when Sense 2.1 was all I had...
I'm somehow missing this. I want it back. But I also love Sense 3.x...
So this is just a thread to remember the old times...
If you have any screenshot, please post it. I want to get this old feeling back.
I'm also always looking at the front of my DHD package, looking on the screen and trying to touch it...
And I know I'm not the only one!
So, let's talk about the DHD beginnings, the old software, the old times.
And for the really nostalgic guys (I'm also thinking 'bout this): look in the DHD development section. There is a sticky with many ROMs listed. Also the good old 2.1 is under them.
I hope you understand me and I'm not the only one.
Thanks for reading.

I recently looked through the dev threads starting at the last page bought about by a feeling of nostalgia. I was even considering flashing an old discontinued rom just for old time sakes but left it for a rainy day. I think I'll really miss my DHD once I upgrade later this year.

I liked the more 2D weather animations in Sense 2.x, also the scrolling wallpaper as you change screens left/right. Maybe you can run the old ROM in an emulator in future...
One thing I did not like as much was the call answer screen controlls, especially whilst the phone was in pocket. Sense 3.x got it right now.

Sense 2 was very nice, less cluttered than Sense 3.x, but Sense 4.0 should change all of that back.
