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.

Hey,
i use this rom : [03 APR] imilka's Gingerbread Sense v0.4 [Des S][Sense 2.1+Android 2.3.3][K:raf1.9]
And how everyone knows, the camera doesnt work.
Where is the probleme with the camera in sense, it is the kernel ? can we change it ? maybe one from an other rom ?
Or it is a problem from sense 2.1 ?
Can we use a kernel maybe from CM7 or any other rom ? or it dosent work ?
Thanks Basti
its sense i think, its a drivers issue
if it was as simple as changing kernels then it woudl be working but it isnt that simple
But at the dhd gingerbread sense and camera works.
and at 2.2 with sense as well at hd2 gingerbread too.
it is so difficult to fix it ?
I think it is a question of the HD2 does not recognise the camera.The dev said something about having to change the libs,which is a BIG job

thats NOT hd2 tho, thats a desire hd which would work because its been created for the device!!!! show me a hd2 version with a working camera and gingerbread, there isnt one yet
the drivers are different and by the sounds need decomiling to find the differences and then recompiled for the HD2
Hey in my posting i wrote that ginger and camera working at dhd i dont wrote about hd2.
But my first question is about the hd2
But why the camera from a desire s build works on a dhd and we cant use the informations about this for the hd2 ?
Because they both use two different camera modules. evident from the fact the dhd uses a 8mp camera whilst the hd2 uses 5. hence with two different camera modules, you'll need prolly two very different camera drivers. So looking at the camera driver for the dhd helps, but won't solve the problem.
Plus the desire hd and hd2 are two completely different devices, they use a different gpu, cpu, camera, screen, speaker, NAND, ram, everything. Each using a different set of drivers. Just because it works on the desire hd doesn't mean it will easily work on the hd2.
Anyways be patient, software isn't made overnight. If it was, it prolly doesn't even work.
Thanks a lot for your answer
I will hope they fix it soon.
HI ALL,
I had a htc magic and I have suffered with low configuration, so I thought to buy a HD2,the problem is that the hd2 was released since November 2009, so it is still powerful (with sense 3.0, SPB Shell 3D, regina 3D launcher, ...) ?
is the htc desire HD more powerful than the HD2 ? but the desire can not run the WM & Android
sorry for my english
i think you should choose HD2 if you will try WM & Android

The DHD isn't really much more powerful than the HD2. It has very slightly better hardware, but it's negligible.
The HD2 has some issues with Sense 3, I have not found a ROM that doesn't lag at times, so I stick with CM7. If I had a Sensation though I'd probably put an AOSP launcher or CM7 when it was out...
Between a DHD and HD2 I'd get the HD2 any day of the week, the only real upgrade would be a Sensation or GS2.
i saw 2 videos,the first was a hd2 running htc sense 3.0 et the second was the HDH with the same os,the hd2 lag and the HDH doesn't.
and what about using live wallpapers and HD games ? will the hd2 lag or not ?
why does the hd2 lag with the sense 3.0 ? is it lack of RAM or what ???

that's true, but CM7 runs about the same on both.
I've noticed that native Android devices tend to run Sense 3 better, maybe a driver conversion thing, but the Evo I had with a sense 3 ROM ran it really well with no lag, and every sense 3 ROM I've used on the HD2 lags.
If you want lag free Sense 3 get a Sensation, I would bypass the DHD altogether.
The HD2 runs games and apps just fine on CM7 or AOSP based lighter ROMs.
I've tried a number of sense 3 roms, and while I'm liking what I see and for the most part the roms are useable, it seems that there are a number of areas where there are significant lags where the phone seems to freeze. this usually happens when switching apps, screens etc. and it happens on every sense 3 rom I've tried to date.
through some investigation, it seems sense 3 is native to dual core processors, (correct me if I'm wrong) which would indicate to me that the HD2's hardware specs are too low to run sense 3 properly (sort of like running win7 on a P3) it can be done, but is it worth it?
I know that the chefs have got it further than say POC, but will it get much better than it already is? (actual useability in terms of sense 2.1 useability that is)
sorry if i don't make much sense ( no pun intended) but i am not quite sure if i got the idea across
oh my hd2 is EU version (T9193)
i dont see those lags, im using dungs DHD sense 3 rom and its fast, there might be a few lags but i put that down to my class2 sd card
tried a sense 3.5 rom ? the bliss rom is from a lower spec handset than the hd2
I'm also on Dungs DHD 3 sense rom, I also found it laggy, but then I tried Supercharger script, and it's way better.
I use setting 7 and 17 in the latest beta. It reallymakes a difference.
#EDIT
I changed my supercharger settings to the 512Mb multitask option (I can't remember the number) and that seems to be smoother.
But that said, I'm still looking for another ROM, theres just to much lag.
Or maybe I should just buy a DHD
I've been using Dungphp's Desire HD sense 3.0 port also, and I haven't had any glitches or laggyness, it runs really well. I'm using an American HD2 so running it all from NAND might have some difference from having to have an ext4 also, I dunno though.
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.
