Hello everybody.
I have a non-rooted HTC Desire that I have upgraded, over-the-air, to Android 2.2.
I want to get Android 2.3 on this baby as well as the latest version of HTC Sense (the one where you can shuffle screens in leap view, that has a scrollable list of last used apps in the notification bar...).
I've read a while back that someone made a HTC Desire HD ROM for the HTC Desire but that many essential features weren't working. But at any rate, the HTC Desire HD has the new HTC Sense but not Gingerbread.
I've also never rooted my phone, I'm wondering if anyone can help.
if u can wait then wait for an official gingerbrd update..
else root ur phone and search the forum for a GB rom.. u will find lots for ur phone

I was just wondering since Gingerbread and sense are included on the Desire S and this has been quite a desireable combo for some time now but not possible for unofficial devs... since it's already been at MWC is there anyone who currently has one that we might be able to get a ROM dump from as was done before the Desire HD came out? If anyone has one or can get hold of one to dump the ROM please let us know so devs on here may guide you at dumping the ROM so they can begin porting the ROM to our current WVGA devices...

Waiting for the Gingerbread Sense ROM.
The htc S device line has 2.2.1 not 2.3...its does have a new sense version which is 2.1, lots of people have been confused by this already...

That's wrong. On MWC it was 2.3.2 on the desire s. You can see it on some of the hands-on videos. The Incredible will come earlier than the others with 2.2 but desire s will have gingerbread.
Can't wait to get a desire s port running smoothly on the hd2!

I just bought a HTC Desire S and it is running Android 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1.
Is Orange ROM any better? I see a lot of people talking about loading Orange ROM.
Hey, Yesterday i rooted my HTC Desire HD with the advanced ace hack kit which first downgraded it and then hacked it ( clockwork recovery s-off etc. ) After that i started searching for a rom thats 2.3.5 ( you konw sense stuff ) I installed cyanogenmod7 the newest and its eating my nerves, Its like holind a new device, So can someone please please point me to a official stock room 2.3.5 (4,12,x) WHICH IS ROOTED. I want all those stock themes stuff menus, way of boot etc with the root as bonus. I cant deal with all the fancy themes and 2.3.7 so i just want it to be back to normal + root.

You might wanna try out Android Revolution HD, which is as close to stock as possible, with a few improvements, and a few apps by default that are not present on the stock ROM. It's the best experience with Sense I've ever had (Because I assume you miss Sense).
I was using it on my HTC Sensation, and it's a great ROM. Heard good things about InsertCoin too, but I'm not sure if it's available for your phone...
Look up Android Revolution HD for Desire HD on xda or use the link I provided to you.
Cheers!
I have here my friend's HTC Desire S. It's still running 2.1 (Eclair). I was wondering where I should start with flashing on this phone. I already have CM9 on my SGS2, but I understand the HTC recovery, among other things work differently. Any advise?
Prasad.
Are you sure it's desire S?
Desire S launched with gingerbread.
Android 2.3 and sense 2.1
Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!
It's most probably the regular Desire.
I have a HTC Desire S with Android 2.3.5. I want to upgrade it to Android 4.0 so I can get my apps working on it, How do I upgrade my phone to 4.0? I havenøt found anything useful from the HTC website that can help me. I'm all new to Android and smartphones.

Hi guys
I'm thinking of getting a used HTC Sensation, rooting it and upgrading to Android 6.0+ with Cyanogen. Has anyone done this?
No i don't tried it. The RAM is to little and slow for a good working Android 6 ROM i think. I use the Sensation until 2014 and i had use the ViperX Custom ROM. That is a Burner Custom ROM.
That sucks. I've got a Desire HD, which I'm only really replacing because Android 2 is insecure, and I'm really annoyed by the newer HTC phones' lack of "physical" buttons. :|
