Just seen on Twitter that a 'froyo-release' repo is up. New toys for devs?
i hate exams, always at wrong time.
Pity there are so few dev working with Desire, will take forever before the goodies appear. Lets hope there will be a good port of cm coming soon

Actually Desire is not 100% rooted + no perfect recovery made
so people are avoiding development.
+ many issues faced by people
Lets see. i will try my best but -> my exams end 15th june

You did a very nice work with the rom you provided. Lets hope we can get proper root and maybe some more attention from devs to put froyo on Desire
dude it's not released!!
it's only the sdk update that has been released
so ahmgsk you got plenty of time if your exams end the 15th june cause it will be released arround june
and hey by the way ahmgsk you are doing a great work! i really loved your roms back at the sapphire time
but i moved on to nexus because of the fast updates, preunlocked bootloader and the great support. i really hope for you guys that the development will start fo real!
i know the desire root is not perfect and the recorery is far from perfect ( probably the recovery causing usb isseu in some way) but i have never gotten an answer to why? why are we not able to acces system while in os and why is there no great recovory? limitations or just that we are not there yet?

I wonder that to, asked Paul number of times over at Modaco, but never got an answer. Its a pity with this silence, it makes everyone wonder...
HTC put in a lot of special code that locks down /system when the phone is operating in normal mode. It's a shame, and that's what's preventing full custom recovery menus and easier flashing.
I have had the Desire for 2 weeks now and I am abandoning ship. The development on the ROM's are to few for my taste. Might be back some day but I am going for the nexus from here on out.

you seem to know what you are talking about , thanks what is needed for gaining the last bit of access? did the kernel source help? and do you think consideringen what you know now that this last part of desire root will be achieved in near future?

Nexus for wife?
lol...
Just wanted to tell you all....
I sold my Desire today and have been using the Nexus for a couple of days.
Today the 2.2 update came (I am not rooted or anything) and everything is awesome.
The community around the Nexus is hissing and buzzing with creativity and that is something the Desire doesn't have.
I will not be recomending to people to get the Desire even though it is a lot cheaper here where I live (Iceland) and I will recomend for anyone to upgrade to Android 2.2 as soon as they posssibly can becouse going from 8 mflop to 38. Well you can seriously feel the difference in every move you make in the phone.
I completly agree but you're missing the facts.
Nexus One has been available since January, whereas Desire just got released last month in Europe and isn't even available in US/Canada and doesn't have a reliable root yet.
The Nexus One sold terribly, whereas the Desire is number 1 in Europe currently.
Yeah right now the N1 dev community is bigger than Desire's but it will definitly change in the following months, especially when we get a stable root.
might happen that the development will be better for the Desire later but still you will be dependent on HTC for kernels like the Hero crowd (That I just came from)
I want to be able to get real upgrades when they happen. Not when some 3'd party company says so. (And they usually seem to say very late or very never....)

Actually I think we can port cyanogen's kernel, I am trying to do it. Every day I tweak it somehow, one day it will boot
pretty foolish selling your desire. froyo for desire will launche soon, probably within weeks. After that i see no more reasons to root anyway.
but thats only my 2 cents.
India got update 2.3.4 update with software version 1.45.720.
Till now I have seen change with
1) icons clarity.Icons look very fine now.
2) 130 MB RAM free most of the time time (stock ROM)
Let me know if any one know more changes ..bcoz I don't see any surprises
I am on a Custom ROM. HTC will take ages to make their stock ROM as good as the custom ROMs available on this forum....Try one of them...you will also forget the stock ROMs.
@ mathrania but will i loose warranty ? And when i tried rooting my sensation it was not detecting my cell on 1st step only if u can help tht will be much better ..It say waiting for phone though it is connected
You loose some to gain some. Go for insert coin 2.2.5 sse with bricked kernal .5 and see results. Superfast ROM and very good battery.

I also observed the following:
new Facebook app (updated to latest I guess. I am using stock HTC Facebook app)
its noticeably smoother now
battery consumption is worse. I will do battery calibration again this weekend and then if it still remains as bad. Earlier I could go upto 1.5 days with moderate use and still have 20-25% juice left. Now it was like after 8-10 hours of moderate use I was at 45% level.

I hvn't updated to 2.3.4 yet, I'm still on 2.3.3, but I still get around 150-200 MB free RAM. So ur 2nd point has no relation to 2.3.4 at all! Also check ur google Talk app., ur HTC Sensation might now hv the video chat feature. HTC made only subtle changes via the 2.3.4 update, it basically includes a few bug fixes & a few visual fixes. Also the sense crashes might be reduced now.
I'll update my phone in a couple of weeks, I'll be able to answer this better after updating.
can you check to see if your camera's macro function is now f'ed up?
I've almost had it up to here with that and the constant home button/screen shot issue. I almost threw my phone yesterday in frustration.

It's been eleven days since Android Police published this story detailing the discovery by Trevor Eckhart of some serious security issues within HTC's more recent software. Three days after that HTC responded, and now, a further week or so later, we are seeing reports of an "important security update" being pushed to HTC Sensations throughout Europe.
Now this update is available in India from 29th Oct 2011. While HTC does not specify exactly what the ~9 MB update addresses, the timing seems right to relate to the preceding story. Besides alluding to some positive-sounding "performance improvements and new features", the update description does not mention any further details, and HTC certainly doesn't dwell on the nature of the security update itself.
Quick Update - After you install the ~ 9 MB file. Check for update again you will get a ~400 KB update as well not sure what that is for...
Has somebody in India done this??
Will check any improvements and post the same....

The next update was probably an application update. I had noticed that the "make more space" under "SD & phone storage" in the settings showed an error (something in the lines of "no action attached"). After the application update, its working fine.

I've had my phone since December 2011, I order or from US because here in Ecuador we don't have and it is most likely it will never arrive wince this device already's been about a year in the market.
This phone is actually quite marvelous compared to lots we have here. I've only seen similar characteristics and performance in the Samsung galaxy s2 specially the display which I think is better compared to Inspire 4G.
I got it with gingerbread version which was updated while a relative had it while in the US, as soon as I got to toy with the device I started looking for the perfect and not moat problematic way to root my phone. Well actually I had already done my research but it was from September and the links were removed . I was preparing everything to follow mike1986 ARHD method but after hitting a wall with the links and removed forums I had to continue for a new method. It took me about a week to finally come across with the ACE HACK KIT which worked like a charm for my device and I almost didn't have any delays in the process.
Once I rooted my phone I decided to flash the ARHD with Sense, I've been on this ROM ever since it is very stable, maybe minor glitches but in general it is a great ROM for this device. Once I entered the android device world I got caught up with it, I'm always checking if there's any news for this device or any updates for the ROM.
After browsing a few weeks along the posts I found the IceColdSandwich for Desire HD and started following the thread. AFter reading for a few days about the compatibility for my Inspire, I decided to go through with the flashing of the ICS. Once done it actually look very sharp at the beginning but then I came across with the mentioned glitches in the thread so I kinda was prepared for those. Since it is still in development I just tried it for about a week and went back to Mike's rom.
At first I didn't know what useful apps I would install in the device other than games, but browsing YouTube xD was very helpful and also I tried some apps directly from the market just with reading the description. Soundhound, Waze, ESPN Score center, XDA Developers, Pinger Textfree, Whatsapp are some of the apps I use everyday.
Another great app I found, now that I'm becoming a father, is Pregnancy it helps me a lot to understand a little bit more about this subject and taking care my beautiful lady.
Overall the performance of my device is brilliant and it was the best $350 I spent last year. The speed of the phone is great, it's very responsive, big screen, though it fits perfectly in my hand and pockets, medium-high battery performance (also got a 2nd one just in case of running out during the day), great sound with headphones, not so much in speaker, very good camera and dual LED, ARHD 6.3.1 is very good for this, keyboard performance is better than imagined I can write as if I'm on my pc with nearly zero typos, and of course waiting anxiously for some more great work either from ARHD or IceColdSandwich.
Well that's my review, hopefully it might serve you if your country still doesn't have this phones yet.
Mayne some technical details about network here in Ecuador:
Carrier: Claro UMTS/WCDMA 850 MHz & 1900MHz Technologies: GSM 2G and HSPA+ compatible.

Lord clockan ics 2.0 has worked good for me last few days. Nice review.
Sent from my Inspire 4G XDA App using ICS
I'm sure ARHD will go to ICS as soon as the Desire HD update comes out. mike1986 is really on top of updating it.
@ Rybean actually I tried ICS 2.0 for about 3 days, and the main problem which is very known already was the camera, but since last built it was improved a lot, at least that's what happened on ny device . I tried 1.4 and it had too many glitches and bugs and I couldn't even make the camera work with an external camera app, but now on 2.0 camera performance is quite better.
@ pazzo02 according to what I was reading from HTC, a lot of their current devices will get ICS update later this year. But as many have stated, Inspire 4G was not in that naming, but DHD was, meaning that ARHD will surely come up with their great Rom for both devices and that's what I'm hoping for, but it will be far later this year.
Meanwhile I'm still running 6.3.2 and in line for ,hopefully, an ARHD 7 fully supported for my Inspire. I tried the DHD Rom but I decided to roll back no to spoil the surprise when it is ready for Inspire.

So it is carnival here in Ecuador and here people throw water at random people just because yes...
I was getting out of my car and they throw two gigantic buckets of water at me and got completely wet.. and of course I had my Inspire in my pocket..
Next thing I do is getting back inside my car and start driving home because I was mad..
A while next I remembered my phone I took it out of my pants and I freaked out and didn't even want to try to unlock it.. a few minutes later the phone rings and I was surprised..
It survived the flood I got and now I'm writing in my review..
I love my Inspire..
Obviously I'm never trying to do this on purpose xD

Okay then. Since we were already discussing at the 'DHD in the Philippines' thread already, let's start this thread for the the Sensation/Sensation XE.
So I'll start
I got my Sensation XE just 2 weeks ago and I bought it at a nearby SM. I waited 'till day 2 to root my phone and flash a custom firmware (since I couldn't stand the rooting itch )
This is just my second Android phone and I came from using a Samsung Galaxy 551 with hardware Qwerty. I gave in to the pressure since there's not enough community support for it.
Nobody?
I got my Sensation XE as a gift las Christmas. Rooted and flashed a custom ROM within 2 hours. Very happy with my phone and, in general, with the Android platform. Came from iOS, I just love how "free" Android feels.

Hi! I've got my Sensation XE last December too as a Christmas gift for myself. ^_^
I've already tried almost all available custom roms for Sensation but I keep going back to ARHD 6.2.1 ICS (sense removed)

Enjoy your stock phone first It will come to you when its time to flash. But when you start flashing custom ROMs, it's kinda addicting and you'll never stop looking for the best setup
Nice to see lot of Kabayans here . Bought my Sensation during the initial release here in SG last June 2011. And rooted after 6mths of usage as it is under warranty. , used DF520 as ICS and CD3.3 for GB.
I got mine 6 months ago... Got the courage to root and s-off Nov 2011... Really itching to flash ics but still hesitant... At the moment, its powered by insertcoin 3.4.4 with bricked kernel...

I S-OFFed and rooted my phone within 1 hour of getting it LOL. I'm a big fan of the ARHD ROMs. Was using the 3.6.x series up until I jumped on over to ICS with 6.2.1 just last week. ICS really is a big step up from GB in terms of speed and battery life.

I'm on Globe Postpaid. No data plan for me on globe since where I'm based only Smart has wireless broadband coverage.
I'd like to ask though; what accessories you guys have and where you got them from? Since it's relatively(compared to iPhones) hard to find good accessories for the Sensation locally. Thanks!

Battery is probably the weakest point of the phone. Stock battery gives about 2.5 hrs on screen with 10 hrs total , however, I use the 1900 mah anker battery which gives about 14 hrs use and 4 hrs on screen time.
There are also many awesome ROMs to choose from (sense, aosp, aokp, miui...)

Dude, you probably got a bad battery with your device. I can go through a WHOLE day (read: 24 hrs) of moderate use and still get battery (with right use and turn-offs I managed to get 5 days where having the phone on would drain it (I was in the middle of nowhere)).
I'm using the phone for two years now, and yes, the battery could be better, but with the right cinfig it's great (on CM ROMs I get some nice battery life, and Sense ROMs are fine, too).
As for performance, It's quite good for a 2 year old device. ROMs are smooth (although I think sense ROMs might have a memory management issue (across all versions I used - Sense 3.0->4.5), because after a few days of use, they become slow and require a reboot (I'm not a big fan of task killers). But there are solutions to increase RAM (you can have SWAP on about any partition you like).
Overall, ROMs run great (do not take my RAM issues as a deal breaker, it's only after a week of use, and even this is on a ROM that was never meant to run on the device). Smooth, and run apps well.
You won't regret it.
Oh, and almost forgot. I spoje of how the phone is, but the development community (and the community itself, beside the devs), is great.

But still very good phone, been using it for 18 months and will probably use it another 6months to 1 yr....

We understand how important it is for you to have your phone upgraded to the latest available operating system in the market.
Since the phones manufactured by HTC are country-specific, so are the updates released for them. That is why an update available in one country might not be immediately available in another one.
We are currently working on the 4.2.2 upgrade, and it is slated to be released soon.

To be very honest, it is quite possible the HTC employee who replied to you is a complete idiot....because i checked the htc website, and no such update is planned, not even for One S, which has better specs than sensation..
Although if it is true, it would be awesome...because the main problem for our phone is that HTC has not released a JB ION kernel...for Revelation/ViperS-JB, SebastianFM ported it from VilleC2....so if they release any JB rom with full kernel sources, it would be ****ing awesome...
Hell if this happens we might even see ViperS with Sense 5.5/6 and android 4.3
Although as i said, highly unlikely.

Well I Certainly Agree with you but Lets wait for a couple more months to see what happens And I believe HTC should respect the customer at-least the customer who bought the flagship products. and well the 4.0.3 combined with sense 3.6 sucks the life of the device :silly:
All I can saw now is Lets Wait :fingers-crossed:

I got a confirmation from the HTC India support that Sensation Xe will get a Update Possibly 4.2.2 but as usual they don't know the date
but here is the mail that I got from them
" Thank you for contacting HTC support.
As per your email, we understand that you want to know when the 4.2.2 upgrade will be available in India for the HTC Sensation XE handset.
We understand how important it is for you to have your phone upgraded to the latest available operating system in the market.
Since the phones manufactured by HTC are country-specific, so are the updates released for them. That is why an update available in one country might not be immediately available in another one.
We are currently working on the 4.2.2 upgrade, and it is slated to be released soon.
When this happens, you will receive a notification on your phone (if it is connected to the internet). "

And You're believing HTC India !!! Ha ha...

I totally agree with you!! It really makes no sense upgrading the sensation which is a year (?) older than OneS. There is no benefit for HTC. I dont know where this email comes from or if it really is real. A few days ago they brought 4.2.2 to OneX+ and i think this was the last update for that too. So there will never be a new official updqate from HTC for OneX and below. And I dont think it is country-specific...
