Hi!
I want to boy a new phone, actually I have an HTC One S, and I'm not too much satisfied, cause I have not much choices when I want to change my rom.
Before this I had an HTC Desire, and it had a lot of different roms to try.
So this time I want to choose my new phone not only for the specs, but even for the amount of cooked rom I'll find on XDA.
Do I have to check manually all the subforum or there's any chart like top selled/top developed phone or something?
Thanks!

Heres what im thinking of:
Droid/Milestone
Xperia x10
Acer Liquid
HTC Legend
What do you guys think? Also no Nexus One please.
HTC Desire beats them all tbh
It's hard to give advice without you saying anything about what you want to do with it, what carrier you're on, etc.
For me, presently HTC's so far ahead with their phones, all of the other manufacturers are all but irrelevant. I'm glad they're out there doing their thing and all, but HTC is the only one doing it with the style and polish I'm looking for, especially over the last 6 months.
Also, if you're not planning on replacing firmware on your own, don't get a phone w/o 2.1 like Acer's Liquid. If you do want to root it and use custom ROMs, buy something where that's possible.
Well im on ATT in the US, I want it mostly for Music, Android (apps), Web browsing, Very Good Camera, Occasional Videos, and of course Calling.
Those are the things most important to me, also is it me or is the Desire pretty much a nexus one with HTC sense?
This is true that the Desire is pretty much a nexus one with HTC sense>
What's your issue with the Nexus One?
I was planning on getting a Nexus One but it seems I missed the Google store closing by about an hour. Annoying. What I'm interested in is trying some of the custom roms and maybe moving on to making my own or doing some work with the AOSP. So the N1 seemed the perfect choice.
Having looked round at different Android phones I think the HTC Desire now best fits my needs. A very close hardware set to the N1 makes me think that custom rom support will run in (near) parallel to the N1. But before taking the dive I just wanted confirmation of a couple of things;
1) For rooting and loading custom roms is the HTC Desire now as straight forward as the Nexus one? (not including a one off evening or setting things up).
2) Once rooted and with the appropriate setup are there any differences in the capabilities of the N1 and the HTC Desire as far as flashing is concerned?
I guess it could be simply summed up as: am I missing out on anything by going for a HTC Desire rather than trying to track down an N1.
Thanks
You'll get a better response in the HTC Desire subforum.
I have one, it's not particularly hard to flash roms. Although i don't have a N1 to compare it to.
Also we don't have the same roms as the N1 but we do have a ****load of them.
Cheers for that brummiesteven.
If there's no rule breaking then I might repost a similar thread on the Desire forum.
At present it does look like there's little to no difference once the initial rooting is over and done with.
By the way, love the Stewie avatar.
Hey Guys,
a friend want my Desire but i don't know if I want it ?
My Desire isn't Original, on it is a Custom Rom and many other things,
so the HD2 wont be original for a long time, i want to make Android on it, it looks really easy, maybe its my experience what it makes very easy.
Now to my Question(s):
Is Android really stable on the HD2?
Can I do the same things like with the desire?
Is the HD2 a good smartphone and is it better or poorer than the desire?
I think the HD2 has much style but it gives many things they are worse...
Help me Please and sorry for my bad english
Trade

Keep your Desire , you're better off

Personally i'd hang onto the Desire. Screen size could be the deciding factor for you though. Do you like 'em small or large?
I think Desire is built better (based on my personal handling experience).
I'm quite rough with my gadgets so I always go for the better build quality.
And not to mention that the Desire is an awesome phone.
Yes, I think die big display is nice, but i think its to big, because I want to work with one hand on my smartphone and not with two.
I keep the desire.
Thanks a lot
Hi all,
Since I've sold my SGS2 yesterday (I'm a fan of HTC, and specially htc sense), I'm waiting my ONE S (S4) to come, tomorrow. And, I would like you guys to help me out regarding a cooked ROM, for S4 of course. On SGS2 I've used Wanamlite's editions. I would like to have integrated in the ROM the htc sense (I suppose that there are roms that have removed the htc sense).
Can you please help me out with some ROMs, which you think that are the best calibrated? Regarding kernel, launcher, battery life, etc.
I saw that Energy is on the One S area also (I've used only his ROM's in Windows Mobile devices that I had). How do you think that is his ROM on One S? Should I go on something else?
Thank you in advance
Hello,
I'm looking for a specific information on the forums but can't find it... i mean, i read something on a topic and the total opposite on another so I thought i could open a new thread to ask it simply...
Birthday of my brother-in-law is getting close and he own a Galaxy Gio for the last year. He was very hostile to smartphones and especially touch screens (as he never used a capacitive before that) and is very pleased with it, despite the fact that internal memory is so poor that he constantly have to uninstall apps to try new ones... App2SD is not working for everything...
Now is the time to buy a new one... budget is 300€ max and after looking a lot of videos on YouTube, HTC One S seems the right choice, despite the fact it is getting "old". HTC One SV which is more young is, imho, not as good and the back design is not elegant like the One S.
First difficulty is to find the S4 version... but i know they have different references and clock speed of the CPU is also different so it is not that hard to know what you buy before you buy.
I'd like to know what is actually the latest stock version of Android available from HTC. Personally, i don't mind tricking my own smartphone, unlock bootloader and install custom roms to find which one suits the best to me (i have a Galaxy Nexus so getting the latest Android version is not really a problem) but my brother-in-law is definitely not a geek and won't even consider doing it. I wish he could experience the JB experience (butter project, ...) with the One S and wonder if both models (S3 and S4) already have an official JB update... and, if positive, which version is it ?
Last but not least, do you think HTC is going to provide an additional update in the future for this One S... and, if positive, what could be given ? Maybe Sense 5.0 ?
Thank you for taking the time to answer me !
The S4 runs on 4.1.1 currently.
HTC has gone on record to say that One S will receive the Sense 5 update is expected sometime in July. HTC hasn't specified whether that'll be 4.1.2 or 4.2, although 4.2 is more likely.
