Hello Guys!
I bought a Desire HD in December 2010 as my first Android Phone and also my first Smartphone. I was very happy with it and i fell in love with Android.
Sometime later after i checked out neary all Apps on the Android Market I got bored and decided to root my DHD. After The successful rooting the whole World of Android was open. I landed immidiatly here at XDA where all the cool magic happens. I flashed always buggyer things and got a fashmatic (you know what I mean). I have to say a big thanks to all devs of the Desire HD Forum who worked hard and still do for bringing us the best and the newest roms.
Also the flashing and stuff was normal I saw a thred with the chromed DHD. I was amazed and after a few month i did it but only with the frame. It was really nice and meany friends asked me if I had a new phone
Then after a few weeks i talked with a frend whose father could make a powder coating and I panted it in Orange. And now finally thats the result and i think its really nice
Now I have to share with you a few picture of the mod. All is working exept the Volume button i have to grind there the case a bit that he fitts.
enjoy

Looks cool man. That's a nice shade of orange. Nice work!
Why didn't you paint over the black plastic covers too? Also what kind of paint did you use and how did you do it?

Wow, that looks great. Cool idea you had
Paint and sell the parts for other people - I would buy it
That's excellent work there
I take it you took the phone apart to just get the aluminium case done?

Looks to me like the green is a little off... are you using the color PMS 376C aka #A4C639?

I'd slap one of those on the back of my G2

Correct about the green being off or correct about you using those colors?
BTW I would definitely get some of these... if I wasn't broke. They design looks great though! Just need the right green and they'll be perfect!
I'd order one. If it's not too pricey.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
i'd get some too
EDIT: BTW, I think themeing some after sports teams would get you a bigger market. I'd buy a Dodger Blue one with the LA in the middle without a doubt.

OP i have a suggestion. ive been thinking of having a custom made android sticker myself. can you come up with an Android sticker looking like the pedo bear sticker? i think it would look cool and funny. i definitely will buy a couple.
Id take some for my hardhat and welding hood. Piss all my buddies off who are Iphone babies.
As long as the stickers come off clean without requiring Goo Gone... I'd take a few
i would be intrested also in a few depending on price
edit: apparently someone already beat you to it
AndroidStickers
They look nice!

PM me if that's better for you.
I got a few ideas to run by you too.

Hi, I could not ignored your cover. I just got my Desire Z yesterday and it already got a tiny scrach on it... i bought a cover before i got the device but when i installed it the screen didn't "locked" and when i tried to remove it its almost broke the phone... BTW i like how the rubberized plastic feels. (it started to twist the metal frame..) I will be happy if you could tell me what are u using.
and other general tips (maybe its not the place i don't know...) (BTW i use a chip screen protector i hope its not a problem).
thanking you in advance,
Oded
Lol, nice one dude
I am not the brightest of the lot and I must admit I only got it after visiting the thread like 4 times over a 2 day period.
I think it would even look cooler if you signed off the letters as A.N Droid
LOL You should post one picture of the droids every day. I would love that!

Haha xD That's awesome

HTC called, they said they did not believe you... They need proof of the photographs.

I'm using a vinyl sticker from Skinit.com and your general run-of-the-mill snap-on clear case from eBay, although I'm on my second one right now. If the thing doesn't fit on perfectly, stress cracks start developing around the tabs that fit on the phone.
I'm contemplating switching over to a translucent silicone case, but the checkerboard pattern is kinda ugly.
Just do this.

It has some dust, but you get the point.
Looks nice, right?
LOL, that is PRECISELY what I suggested to someone who had the same question some time back.
BTW, it's a bit surprising to me the silver ring around your camera is perfectly intact. Mine started scratching and peeling off from one point just weeks after purchase (Where the ring rests on the surface where it is placed). (It is in a cover now 24x7, so, it no longer happens. Also the reason why the back letters are intact)

Well, I've had this Wildfire for a little more than 1 year, no guards/covers/cases/pouches what so ever since day 1 and it has absolutely no scratches on the screen/body (that line seen on the picture on the back "metal" isn't a scratch). Only the letters... The "T" came off today and I just removed the others, now it's unique, and good looking.
i dont get it

I dropped by to recommend the same thing but its already said
I peeled mine off too once H came off. It looks better this way.

So I Know everyone has seen the red frame near the battery door, but I decided to swap the back cover completely with a white evo.
I think it looks awesome, but it was a pain to get the little metal connectors off the black housing and onto the white.

One of my coworkers did the same with their Evo, looks pretty awesome.
The white housing's paint can also be easily scratched off to make it red. The white battery cover isn't paint though so it stays white.

This version of sense seems to be far more 'complete' and like you said... there are a lot of different launchers out there if it's not for you.
I ordered mine the day after the unveiling, just waiting for the 15th march Will be like a kid at Christmas.
Me too have pre-order Black version
AW: Well my pre order is in
Didn't preorderer yet but will get it asap as well. Just waiting for even better price drops

i only espect a clean rom with low blootware, asop in this device is not a option i think, because of zoe and ir
I want a feature rich phone and I hate AOSP UI. Yeah I'm a sense love eversince So go with HTC. Won't wait for a price drop here. This is just me showing my gratitude for them for reincarnating the nokia XpressMusic line on the latest devices.
Ok XpressMusic and HTC M7 are not totally the same but their line of designs are actually the same. More of like the casual type of phones where it looks really cool and not the typical classy look.
Oh I miss my last XpressMusic phone!!!
