[Q] HTC Thunderbolt ROM for HTC Desire - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys. I've got the Desire for like a year now. And it's not alot of great ROMs for the normal Desire. Can someone please make a Thunderbolt ROM for it ? And you know that new Thunderbolt, Mecha, Incredible HD or whatever it's called. I want you hackers to make a Thunderbolt ROM. And please don't make a fake look-a-like copy. Originally port or copy the ROM. And I live in Norway and do not have Verizon. So please unlock the ROM for all-over-the-world operators. And can you also modify the E, H and 3G icons to 4G only. Cuz I don't have a 4G network and it will look cool to have a 4G icon on H (Super-3G) and E (Edge).
This part is off-the-topic (but please read):
I'm a 13 year old computer nerd, so I love to get new stuff. (like ROMs). I've done alot of hacking. I booted Mac OS X into my eMachines E525 Notebook. But then I relized that mac sucks. I have also done Ubuntu, which is easy to do. But that sucked too. I've hacked games both computer and Xbox 360, but my mom don't want me to open and mod and JTag -.-'. So please don't be so rough with me and make me and other readers a very, very stable Thunderbolt ROM for our Desire G7 A18181 (that's the normal Desire of course, haha! Just a longer name, no Z, HD or S) Post a reply here if you've made a ROM and a list in the replay with over bugs, specs and a blue download link, etc.

You may get more responses if you make this request in the Thunderbolt or Desire forum

Are you being serious? There are loads and loads of roms availble for the Desire, for an older handset it has some great development. Thundebolt ROM may not of been ported due to hardware limitations. New sense roms are huge and some older handsets simply don't have the memory availble to install them.
Try this one really good sense rom with sense 3.0 goodies http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940

OK it don't need to be a port then. But I want thunderbolt

XDA - Motorola Droid forum?

Just curious whether you folks at XDA will be adding a forum/subforum for the Droid?
im just guessing this wont happen. this site modify phones by htc only.
yeah, like the HTC Palm Treo and the HTC Sony Ericcson X1, like he said

Actually, pretty sure HTC did manufacture the Xperia. The Treo on the other hand...
Anyway, I think it would be a shame to miss out on the Droid rush. It's going to be the biggest Android phone this year (if not longer) and will probably spawn a whole new wave of development.
HTC did manufacture the X1 and the Treo.
Historically, XDA-Developers has been HTC only. This is really crappy because there are other devices out there that could benefit this community if the forum sections were created. The Motorola Droid is one of them.
I'd love to see that happen
Since I just picked one up.

That's probably covered under the Hero subforum, since it's basically another CDMA HTC Hero.

I'm going to be really upset if my favorite XDA devs won't be working on the Droid platform.. I LOVE it and it's the first handset that can handle those crazy ROMs.
HTC Hero UI on Droid?
I just got a Moto Droid the other day over the Eris due to its keyboard and hardware specs...
BUT, the Eris has a much nicer UI (Home Screen, Contacts, Widgets etc) thanks to HTC (as usual)
Because both the devices are Android (however different versions from what I understand), is it possible to get the Widgets and Home screen from the Eris on the Droid??
I am obviously new to Android and have typically been a Windows Mobile user (Used the HTC TouchFlo on the Omnia and what not), and would really like to continue to use HTC's UI's on my Droid.
Do you think this is possible, and if so perhaps this particular topic could be a forum dedicated to it on XDA

The hero widgets are highly coupled with the framework of the device. Therfore if you wanted to run them they just simply wont work. There is a 3rd party alternative called beautiful widgets for $0.99 cents of the android market.
I have also picked up a Droid and want to see it here, until the Leo comes out this is the Android phone to have.
Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!
Agreed, lets hack this phone wide open even if it's not htc!
many unique problems for this platform, especially if you really want SenseUI.
Me personally, I'd rather see a Cyanogen build...but we need root first and foremost...and a good recovery img.
Screen capture of Droid Bootloader is here.

We are not that far, with the help of XDA team we could get there so fast.
Just so you all know... Alldroid.org supports the Droid... we're also getting clues on how to root it!!!
PLEASE
I would really like to see a Droid/ any other andorid phone sub forum. this site has the most expansive wealth of information and i feel that having XDA as a resource for Droid users would greatly advance the android platform.
TO XDA: i know you folks only do HTC phones but please, listen to the community so other members can help us out. just so you know all other fourms related to the DROID are disasters!! help we the droid users!
i second this request!
Yes please. Expand your views. It's not only HTC thats interesting

[Q] HD2 or Desire HD?

Hey,
I'd like to buy a new device soon but I'd like to keep the price as low as possible.
So I actually wanted to buy the Desire HD (600€).
But then I noticed that some devs got the Desire HD ROM working on the HD2.
So the HD2 is available for around 350€ here.
What would you say?
Can the HD2 provide the same quality and is the Desire HD ROM running nearly as good as on the native Desire HD?
Thanks in advance,
Florian
I have a HD2 and a HTC Desire and my advice would be, if Android is your weapon of choice for an operating system, go with an android device.
I've tried a number of Android Roms on my HD2 and although they are great, they are still in development and battery life is an issue with the Rom having to be run off the SD card.
Have you considered a HTC Desire?
I've noticed the screen sizes of your mentioned devices. So have you also looked at other phones with big screens such as evo 4g, captivate, vibrant and epic 4g?

The hd2 boots the desire and the desire hd roms so for the price id say the hd2 you get the best of every thing hands down
with new wm roms built to run android battery life is no longer an issue
A HD2 doesn't run the Desire ROM as good as the Desire and does not yet match it closely for battery life. However I'll add that i'm running a stock WM ROM on my HD2.
If you want Android working out of the box then get an android device. Just be aware the HD2 may require tweaking to death to get it to work well and not everbody is prepared for that.
My reason for suggesting the Desire is the price as i think it is coming down in price alot now and is a very good buy.
All my opinion of course
I was also in this dilemma for a while, and I wanted so much to try android, and the same time keep it on the safe side with a windows mobile, so i got 2 days ago the HTC HD2, put Dutty ROM, and i am trying a few android roms, and for now, i like it very much.
Android on HD2 is not perfect yet, but it is going in this direction, but it is very usable, need just to find the correct edition to use...
I would say Desire HD. Has the 2nd Gen 1 ghz snapdragon CPU, an updated GPU, and 769 MB of RAM. Also it now has permanent root.

[Q] Nexus One stock ROM port please?

Hello fellow Desire S owners and enthusiasts. I would like to see this happen, I love stock Android and I have been trying for several days to port Nexus ONE ROM 2.3.3 to our device but I didn't have success. So I'm hoping somebody here with more skill and knowledge may do this. I don't really like what HTC is doing to the devices the Sense skinning is only eye-candy and I don't like it one bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
if you replace the launcher and install the stock apps then youre halfway there, out of interest why did you buy the desire s?
Because I like it's design mostly, I came to it from a Desire HD that one got bricked but it also had Cyanogenmod ROM available and that was very nice. I love the device itself I also had the normal Desire but the battery life was very poor on that one. Anyway, I'll keep trying to get this done.

[Q] What phone is most developed on?

What phone do developers make ROMS and kernels for? I am thinking of selling my Atrix to get the phone that does get most developed on.
I wish I had the correct info for you, but I do know the Evo has tons of development on it. Pretty much anything you can tweak or port over has been done or in progress.
Sent from "The EVO" using XDA Premium
I want to say the Nexus One.
Evo is definitely up there.
Incredible is starting to slow down but still has decent activity
I'm sure there's more similar.
HD2 if you want to go that route, lot of stuff with that going on.
+1 for nexus one (that has sense roms also)
+1 for HD2 that has meebo, wm6.5, wp7, and android 2.1,2.2,2.3 roms)
and in the future i´m sure that the nexus S is going to be the most developed with the touchWiz 4.0 environment available for it (ported from galaxy 2)
The HTC Glacier (Mytouch 4G) has a TON going on in development right now. We just had some of the evo devs jump over, and they already started porting their stuff..
seems like the nexus S is developed for pretty well. I'm on a G2 and there's a moderate amount of roms.
The newer version the better

Roms for HTC Evo Design 4g

Hi,
I'm new to phone rooting, but I used a guide on this website to root my Boost Mobile HTC EVO Design 4g (not currently active on any carrier, so I'm not too worried about messing up carrier-related stuff). Anyway, I would like to Install a custom rom on it since I'm not a fan of HTC Sense 3.6. My Rom of choice would be PAC Rom, but I would settle for CyanogenMod, or anything else that's pretty good that any of you would recommend. Anyway, I've found these roms for HTC Evo, but not the Evo Design. Will a rom for the evo work on the Evo Design? I've also heard that the Hero S has the same support for roms as the evo design, but I'm not sure how much easier it will be to find roms for that. Basically, my question is, How can I get PAC Rom or CyanogenMod for the HTC Evo Design 4g?
Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I hope This phone gets a lot more attention in the near future due to being the launch phone for Freedom Pop's FREE phone service.

Unfortunately, there is not much support for this phone. I have found support here for it : androidforums.com/evo-design-all-things-root. However, there seems to be one active dev and it is stuck on 4.0.3. Having said that, the ROMs there do work on this phone. The phone is already rooted with CWM 5 already on it. The Messaging app uses a custom version of CSIPSimple and is downloadable in the Play Store. I am currently on the ForgottenKingdom ROM (Kingdom is the phone's codename).
