Sense 3.5 uses more memory than sense 3.0. If virtuous unity only has like 100mb of free ram then sense 3.5 will have even less which will make our phones extremely slow. Other devices such as dhd can handle it better as the have more onboard ram

I agree. Pretty sure Sense 3.0 is pushing the limits of the G2/DZ hardware already. Not enough ROM, not enough RAM, and a 800mhz stock CPU.

But htc bliss is 800mhz and 512ram device. And i read sense 3.5 is even lighter and polished than sense 3.

Agree, uglier, too

I agree, getting this ported would be amazing! The Bliss does sport 512mb ram and an 800mhz single core processor. I believe this may be a great chance at Sense for our phones.

so we are waiting for the port then. Someone from Desire HD port thread said that it works smoother than sense 3.0.

This is actualy not true. Sense 3.0 on DHD is slower and uses more ram, as i've been checking it out on my dhd. Sense 3.5 seems to be lighter and smoother than anything else. I think 3.5 is an attempt from htc to make faster UI for more devices, since the sense 3.0 can only be originally supported by 3 devices. So, why should HTC stick to those 3 devices and stop supporting over 9000 older devices? And since Android Phones will now HAVE TO BE UPDATED with latest android for 18months since they hit the market, it is the logical move for HTC to make better, wider supported UI for more devices. Also, since 3.5 is official, u'll notice that app resizing will no longer be a problem since 3.5 detects everyhting by itself.
So, yet again, a smart move HTC did.
HTC Sense 3.5 = updated 3.0 UI for all HTC devices which will have more support and better performance
HTC Sense 3.0 = HTC UI for devices with at least dual core high end devices (HTC Sensation/EVO 3D/..)
Also, this 3.5 version is still testing-key version from HTC, so don't expect its the final release since theme is ugly and chicky. There is a theme on HTC Hub that is a bit better, but not fully supported yet. Still missing some changes in 3.5 feautures.
SIGNED!

porting would not hard to g2 because i port sometimes something from here to desire s and they work good with little issues.
i can help to port, if someone want to test it. just mail me msn adress and we can talk about..

I think it's not likely that HTC will make an update for older devices but us here making a port would be nice

has anyone tried "virtuous_unity-2.35.0.zip" g2 files to porting this rom. should work i think. here is tutorial for this

[Not officialy confirmed yet] HTC Sense 3.0 with Android 2.3.5 on HTC Desire HD

Hello everyone.
As many of you have already heard, Desire HD is getting an update of the "new" old Sense 3.0 with newest android 2.3.5 as our developers got its LEAK of an official system.
As many DHD users don't use costum roms and their DHDs are still chained in prison (not rooted) this may be a giant step up for their devices.
About the release, do you think its final? Will they port out what we already got on xda from our beloved hard-working developers?
When do you guys think we can expect that new stuff OTA?
Some youtube video of the new system: HERE

A lot of people still havent rooted their DHD? Where do you see those stats? Id be interested in giving that a look-see.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium

well i dont know why they launching 3.0 sense to DHD if they already said that 3.5 sense is gonna be in old devices.. so why not jump to 3.5 sense better?

I have the ARHD 6.1, based on the last leak with sense 3.0. The Rom feels final, I mean everything work fine and the speed is increased over the previous Rom. I think they had spent more time to optimize sense 3.0 on single core and released it too close with sense 3.5 devices. The autor of the ARHD thread says that OTA will roll out in a month.
He also says that the surprises for dhd users aren't finished but I don't know what he mean.
Sorry for my bad English.

There are many out there that don't even know XDA, not a majority tho, but anyway, this update can make their phones kinda "new" again
like we get our "new" phone almost everytime we flash some new rom or something at least I get that feeling many times
PISS!

Is there any new info about "official sense 3.0 leak"? I'm so impatient about this new update. I hope so it will be available within this month via OTA.

I hope there will be an update and soon, my device isn't rooted(problems with goldcard) and i really want to upgrade.

In my opinion, desire hd will get Sense 3.5 too. It is much more smoother (for example Bliss port) and faster than 3.0 so why not?

Not saying that it will or won't, but the reason they might not is purely for marketing. Either way, as long as it is released on a device with a WVGA display, there shouldn't be any problems. That said, I think Sense 3.5 is a real disappointment, it doesn't have that unique HTC feel to it. I guess only time will tell...!

It would be nice to have it but i don't think it's needed. Well for me anyway since i use go launcher. Don't care if they stop updating Sense, its when they stop updating Android that i will have to root my phone and use up to date ROMs. Not need for the root until then.

Not officialy confirmed because the leak version is only a test build... Maybe we wait more time to have an final release ruu

Ideas for roms??????

Anyone got any ideas for roms? Not ics.
Anything specific? I'm going to make one, but I need ideas
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Sense 3.5
Bliss base
Runny nav bar
No bloat
Runs perfect without swap
Or maybe u wanna port Android evolution or Runnymede desire rom by sebastian15? The latter is a great rom

Yeah, the DZ community has a love/hate relationship with 3.5 sense rom, so a one running smoothly without swap, no bloat, nicely themed (easy on the eyes ), is a way to go.
There are alot of sense 3.5 roms for the DZ. I've tried them all (literally), so far the Bliss sense and the NRG 3.5 sense roms are good, other I had trouble with (laggy, slow, crashes...).
MIUI, seen one seen them all, although popular you will be just one in a bucket of full pretty good and functional MIUI roms.
Stock g2 or AOSP also, there are alot of them for the DZ, there has to be yet an AOSP that can beat the awesome CM 7 rom.
If you make it really try hard to stand out, cause it will be burred soon under the mentioned ones.

You could try porting a weird obscure ROM that nobody has really seen much of. I remember using a ROM by SiulMagic called LiquidM_Villain, its basically an Acer modified version of Froyo. I used it for a few weeks before leaving because I missed Gingerbread, but it was quite a neat ROM. Theres a Gingerbread version around now that could be ported? Or maybe theres another modified version of Android that nobody really sees much of?

Lots of similarities with the DZ taz, same cpu, ill have to check again. But they've been trying to port cm7 from the DZ to the liquid MT, they almost have it but I think you could blow it out of the water.

Honeycomb?
I noticed the HC SDK 3.0 uses the GB launcher so...
Some other folks built and compiled HC for their phones too, off the SDK I believe.

Honeycomb is a bad idea when we have ICS being ported at the moment (which if you check the dev page, there's a thread with an almost complete port) since honeycomb was designed purely for tablets and is not meant for phones. A LOT of quite possibly pointless work would have to go in it.

take any existing ROM - figure out how to make it have even better reception in weak signal areas - and you will be a STAR on XDA!!
and start with the ROM that is the fastest, leanest, and has the best battery life and most free RAM of any ROM.........yes I am talking about G-Lite 2.0.1

My idea is the latest stock rom with nice tweaks and addons but that's just an idea... And maybe nobody likes it

Ice Cream Sandwich for more HTC smartphones coming in April

http://www.247smartphone.com/mobile/breaking-ice-cream-sandwich-for-more-htc-smartphones-coming-in-april-25642012.html
We knew we could trust HTC, and in fact after the already announced devices a second round is ready to be unveiled and we can already tell you about it.
In fact, thanks to a reliable internal source, we received information about an April release of Android 4.0 with HTC Sense 3.5 for the HTC Desire S, Desire HD and Incredible S. The three devices will receive the new firmware on different days during the month, and will follow the upgrades of the Sensation family (confirmed for February) and the EVO 3D (early March).
Thanks HTC for being always ahead listening to its customers and updating the most devices and not just the top ones.
yeahhhhh!!!!
if you like it press thank you
ps.capy i saw your Thank you...please help us (no more off topic)

Thank you for the news. It's nice to know that our DHDs will continue to receive support from HTC. (Although I know our lovely devs are keeping the home fires burning!)
Maxy

nice! cant wait to see this release of ics. finally have some of the bigger issues/bugs worked out of the roms on xda with this, if the devs don't get to it first!

Not really suprising. Because every android phone should get at least one update in the future. If the take a look at Desire S, it shipped with gingerbread, and because of that it must get at least one update. And because more or less Incredible S or Desire hd hardware is identical, its easy to port to these phones too.

Maybe it's the last update, buy our dev's on xda are the best and we get all updates after the last one.

Timing is fine for me...
I see a lot of notes in recent app changelogs about fixing things for ICS - one thing is the ROM, but all the apps need to be stable too.
Pleased about the confirmation all the same.

so good for my dhd
like sense
thx

This is good news! I think this will give me enough updates until the end of this year, when I can pick a new phone Including working camera and stuff.

i have unlocked my bootloader through htc and want to flash this rom but cant seem to figure out how to do it. Any help or directions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Shame about including sense.
Just makes it slower and with less memory available.

Get your costum ROM and that's it.
Why should HTC release an official ROM without "HTC" Sense?

The htc one v (ics + sense4) is coming out, and has very similar specs to the DZ/G2, so i think everyone is waiting for a port of this, rather than port from runnymede, but then again, i could be wrong

Yeah a Runnymede port doesn't really help use because what we really need for a proper Vision version of ICS is drivers for the graphics and camera. So we need ICS for something like Desire HD, Desire S, One V or maybe even the non-HTC phones (e.g. Sony) that use the same chipset.
