[DISCUSSION] Desire Z development..who will be in??

I think i'm not the only one that hates senseUI so my following questions are:
1. what developers would put the effort to max this phone to it's best?
2. Will we have cyanogen?
3. will we have screen calibration?(i really god used with true color rather than "blue pushed" colors).
Please if any developer would love to put a bit of comfort to our hearts please post here that you would do the best for this phone
So looking forward for it!
Edit: posible to swich roms from G2 to z and other way? that would be nice,theoretically it's very posible same hardware!

looks like the G2 will have stock froyo(not sure) but i really hope we can cyanogen mod on this thing! still don't think desire z is going to replace n1 on the priority list.

You are quite right,but alao g2 might take the place of n1,and g2=desire z,it'q all a matter of rooting i think.
Damn i will really miss the led flash from n1) really really usefull for me.

LED flash? G2 also has a flash with its camera, if thats what you mean..
Also, to your 3rd point, if you're talking about the blue tinge issues and such, these screens won't have those issues as they're not AMOLED's, but SLCD's.

Aaaa sry i mean trackball led flash.

but no led track ball though still wonder if it'll steal the crown from the n1. afterall desire z isn't a "google experience" phone.

dang. i was hoping for super amoled display. well atleast with slcd we won't be getting anymore burnin. hopefully.

Unfortunately for now, Only Samsung has the rights to use S-AMOLED. Its their tech anyways. But I believe from next year fall onwards they will start selling S-AMOLED screens to other manufacturer's.

For me S-amoled is not that interesting anymore,really curios about this S-lcd and it's multitouch capabiliti really hope is better than n1 or desire.

Cyanogen tweeted earlier this month saying that he's getting a G2, so I think it's safe to say that the G2/Desire Z will have lots of developer/hacker support. Honestly, that's part of the reason I'm so excited about the G2. I'll likely be keeping it for the full 2 year contract, so having a phone that's so supported by XDA is a huge advantage.

Totally agreed, I stuck with the G1 till now which definetly would not have been possible without everyone at XDA. You think that maybe Cyanogen might make a Non-Sense version and a Sense version of the ROM?

dam, i was hoping for a miracle, oh well... thx

I've been done something useful on Motorola Milestone and I've ever been in HTC WiMo devices modding etc.
Selling Milestone, HTC Desire Z already ordered and waiting for its arrival. I'm in.
First of all, we have to see if it's unlocked, then we can play with the system: putting Sense on CyanogenMod maybe is possible, we'll see. I'll do better than I can.
-kholk.

I'm a little curious which one would work on at&t 3g. I prefer no sense and think cyanogen will support that before sense.

Buh bye now.

Bye guys.
I came to android world by having a tytn 2 which I enjoyed alot, haret-ed my ass oof, tried alot of roms back then.
I became so obsessed with android, I received a wildfire for my birthday. At first it seemed an upgrade, but then I've seen what means to have a cpu without a gpu struggling even to animate simple 2d stuff.
So, here we are, three months later and I cooked this idea I want a new phone with android. So I've gone with HD2 to be able to switch back to wm if I ever needed it at any time.
So here's my advice:
If it's your kids/girlfriends phone, leave it as is. If it's your phone and you are sick of it and it doesn't meet your expectations, sell it while it's sparkling new, to be able to get as much money off it, add some quids and get a real phone.
I will be less active on this wildfire subform, so I wish you happy buzzing days to come.

Thinking about the DHD

Hey guys. I'm just wondering if you guys would recommend stock DHD for a user? I have been reading the forums for a while and most everybody has rooted and changed roms and radios. I don't know if I would be comfortable with it at first. Would you guys still recommend the DHD to a person who wouldn't root it or hack it? I'm sick of my icrap. I don't want to invalidate the warranty. But I want a good machine from the start.
Opinions?

from what i can say, with or without custom rom, the dhd is a top device and fast enough
the rooting, custom rom and radio thing is just for people who want to get the maximum out of the device
its stock still a very good device

Well if u aint gona root it and install homebrew then buddy i am suggesting HTC SENSTATION 100% .... its gona be released mid may or 1st june... its a much better cell phone... i am getting it myself

I got my DHD for about a week now and rooted it the day after I got it and actually the only reason at that moment for me to do so was because I got a lot of stock apps and trials (seriously.. Don't put 2 minute trials in it!), but I played around all day and all night with it and although my custom rom is better than stock, it's still a great phone!
But as Leather|Face already mentioned, there is a new wave of HTC phones coming out pretty soon which are better, so you might want to wait if you have the patience

The DHD is the best HTC device at the moment and although there is the sensation around the corner something better is always on the horizon. Even stock it's a great device.

Haven't touched my DHD after a month, , it is unlocked and unbranded, the only reason I'll probably mess with it is to get rid of all the social networking crud and other software I don't want, that's built into it.
Seems pretty good stock to me.

Hey guys ... i've done a lot of reading and still scared as hell to root and flash homebrewed rom on my DHD since i've never done that b4... i've found a LOT of instructions and guidelines on "how to" ... but still i'd ask if any1 of you expirienced rooters would take a moment and post or PM me a really really detailed guide on how to root and flash custom rom such as CM7 with 2.3.3 and links to all thw tools i need. I've had desire and now dhd, but never rooted a phone. I would appreciate if any1 could do this favour. I'm a noob, but still, none of us were born with all sorts of abillities, and we gotta learn it somehow ...
Thx.

The guides around are top notch and pretty much noob proof, you'd really have to 'try' and brick your device. If you need even more depth instructions I'm going to venture out there and say maybe rooting isn't for you. I had no idea about anything, did reading in the morning and was flashing kernels by night. Just follow the instructions!

I do have the patience. I'll wait for the sensation that's coming out first on Vodafone . Another month with i****. Oh well xD. I bet though the reviews will point out some major flaws. I've been reading about the lg optimus 2x and it has a lot of flaws. Same with the se arc. I also considered those two. This htc model has the least amount of complaints as far as I can see. but I'll wait another month. thanks guys.

In your situation I'd probably do the same. As someone else said, there's always something "better" coming along but, in this case, it's nearly here so you may as well wait a few weeks.
Regarding the OP though, my DHD was acquired last October unbranded and unlocked, but I haven't rooted it. Just set it up as I want it and installed the apps that made my life easier. It'd be nice to be able to zap the apps. I don't want (the unsociable networking apps have been mentioned above ... ) but set them to 'not sync' and they may as well not be there anyway (as I don't have a faceplant or twatter account they couldn't sync anyway ).
Enjoy the new phone!

Rooted or unrooted desire HD is too awesome. The only reason I rooted was because I got bored . However I would definitely recommend rooting to get the most out of your phone.
Like other people are saying, maybe it might be better if you hold of for the sensation if you want a stock phone.

I'd wait for the HTC Sensation because i've too much problems with my DHD.
Misaligned parts, blurry camera, crappy sound through speaker and headphones.
But despite my problems the DHD also has A LOT of great things: great Speed, LOTS of RAM, huge ROM, a really great display (I prefer the LCD of the DHD over the AMOLED of the Desire).

I brought my DHD at Feb. I didn't do anything to it (util the end of March).
But I'm still very satisfy with it's performance.
Maybe Sensation will have better performance due on better hardware....
For DHD, I still think it a phone with great C/P.
I was afraid to root my DHD at the very first.
But I found out that's actually very easy by fallowing the instruction on this forum.
Now I'm flashing different ROMs and apps into my phone and trying different tricks mentioned by other friends.
You will love it, once you root it ~~~ XD

I think you really have to try hard to brick the phone, as long as you can follow simple instructions then you will be fine .

There are tonnes of guides/videos/faqs littered all over the internet on how to root the DHD. There really is no reason to be scared of doing it. I would also reccomend doing it sooner rather then later, as then you don't have to worry about backing up what you have already put on your phone.
Contradicting what others have said above me, I actually don't like the DHD as stock. Sense seems to me to be very shiny and pretty, but it's slow(ish) and filled with rubbish I didn't want. I flashed CM7 when it came out a few weeks back, and haven't looked back since. It just feels so much more responsive, and it's nice to have the latest version of Android (2.3.3), which we are still waiting to see from HTC.
I would strongly recommend the Desire HD, as I think it really is one of the best phones on the market, but I also recommend rooting and putting a different ROM on it too.

[Off Topic] Is it a good deal

Hello XDA !
Today I have a choice, I can have a HTC HD2 for 115€ and I don't know if it's a good deal because HD2 is pretty old.
Am I wrong Am I right ?

A friend of mine got one, it had Android pre-installed on it (second hand) and the hardware specs are pretty good, but I found the phone not that responsive considering the specs. Thats probably because it doesn't run Android natively I think, but it might just be just this situation.
Since its so cheap, I would really consider it

Okay thanks

The phone has a lot of development but I felt it is quite laggy....
I used it with Windows phone and it seemed to have bugged out something and was terribly laggy.....
When I used it with Android, it was a little bit better, but still laggy....
According to me, don't but it.

It's bad because I really like to have the possibility to switch beetween OS, but if it's laggy...no point to buy it

Yes it is but is it really a worthwhile upgrade? I think he should go for a better phone if he actually wants to upgrade or stick with the galaxy 3 as our devs have recently started working 10 times as hard to bring us awesome development such as MIUI, AOKP, G3MOD 3.1, the new Kyorakernel test version, CM7 the list goes on.

in fact the guy with the HD2 didn't contact me yet so i stay with my g3...

3 reasons ive been put off htc one.
1: Bootloader unlocked by htcdev? Dunno if there's an alternative yet, i haven't looked so there might be but if there isn't its definitely a no for me. I want full s-off not just a little bit of it.
2: No sd card, yes i know music and pictures load faster on internal memory but i want the choice of where i want to put things and the ability to expand when i fill it with all my failed mods!
3: Not able to remove the battery? Well thats just a silly idea unless the battery will last forever with seriously heavy usage, bare in mind i most days struggle to get 5 hours from my wildfire and have to take a spare battery everywhere.
Other than that the screen looks sh*thot but sadly not for me.........

1) well, i only modded wildfire because it was slow by default. i persume, a 1.5 dual core snapdragon s4 will do the trick. sp, maybe i wont even root it. if i do its gonna be when my warranty expires because im paying the full price for it.
2) i manage with 2gb sd card on my wildfire which is still half empty, i even have 512 mb ext... so thats about 1.2-1.3 gb pf usable space (you know memory is smaller than whats stated 2 gb ~ 1,8 gb) so thatll be fine, im not a smartphone gamer either so one memory hog less (im more of a playstation kinda guy)
3. battery can always be managed, i use my wildfire pretty much all the time on my almost 2 year old battery and i get day, day and a half of battery life, more when i use it less .
all in all, looks like one s is the one ive been waiting for

Perfect for you then, it really is an awesome phone, i managed to get my hands on one the other day for half hour, the screen looks amazing and its lightning fast after using a buzz for so long but for those reasons above i can't get one and am thinking/dreaming of an s3 if they'll give me one!

If you are looking for Proper Unlocked bootloaders and Dev Support, Samsung is not much better off from what I have seen so far. Apparently, everything is "hacky and dirty". There is no proper recovery partition, so even a CWM recovery has to be integrated into the kernel. You cant flash a recovery by itself. Also, no things like Fastboot. You have to depend on Samsung softwares like Odin.
Also, Samsung's coding is terrible from what the dev's have been saying. They use unstandardized coding techniques, and its a pain to reproduce the same features on AOSP / Other ROMs. The Galaxy S2 did not get a build of AOSP ICS till a leaked official GS2 ROM was out.
I agree on Point 2 and 3 though. They are great exit tools for when you mess up your phone. Think about it, when you experience a bootloop, what is the 1st thing that comes on your mind? A battery pull, obviously.
BTW, Dump the S3 and get the S2. With the price drop after the S3 was announced, this phone is now terrific VFM. Still nothing that can't be run on this device.

J/k, anyway, excellent choice. I prefer the One S myself over the One X.

Thanks for the info 3, i hadn't really read much about Samsung coding either to tell the truth just saw the amount of dev support you guys have over there and presumed it must be slightly better, I know i'd probably love an sgs 2 coming from here but if the 3 ends up with as much support for it do i really want to be stuck in a 2 year contract and miss out on all the fun with a 2 knowing there's a 3 out there, just out of reach.
Decisions decisions............... Still my carrier might not give me one though so may be forced into a sgs2.

so far.
well ive had the phone for a few days and i have to say im loving it
the screen is sexy and silky smooth, and not to mention big enough ^^ from opening it it took me 7 minutes to s-off with revolutionary ive gotta say touch recoverys rock!!! they are themeable and everything, 4ext for the win lol
i have made the jump to ics in the form of the android revolution HD rom by mike1986 im missing the boot into recovery option from the the power off menu, but im hoping to find a work around for that being able to unlock with my face alone is epic and the download speeds im getting from giffgaff is very nice.
im very very pleased with this device atm and i would highly recommend it. and if **** hits the fan, you can always battery pull!

Good luck with your new phone
IMO the GS3 is terrible. All the fancy software is useless because I'll put CM9 on it as Touchwiz is absolutely disgusting. Their coding is terrible as 3xeno said and the UI is worse than Cupcake. The specs are mediocre, the AT&T One X's S4 chipset is better IMO. The screen is also mediocre, they made it 0.8 of an inch bigger than the One X to show off. And the rumours were so off, especially the 1080p screen. The nature lockscreen is a cool idea but the ripple effect is just too much time, especially when you just want to unlock the phone quickly and make a call.

thanks, and yeah, me too, i had the option of one x but i think 900€ is a bit too much as im buying off contract.

My contract ends next year, who knows what phone I'll want :/, s3 is ok, i love using odin, touchwiz idc about it. Htc and sense just annoys me lol. Maybe I'll wait for the next nexus.

I'll bet you on rooting it After I changed to samsung from htc first thing I did is ROOT it. Still have the old dog, gave it to my girlfriend and because it was my first android I'm gonna keep it in the family

Good Luck with u're new Sensation XE ! It's a brilliant phone..
