which rom??
none, go read the forum like the rest of us.
Technically, there are no 2.2's with sense even from HTC themselves. That changes on the Desire today or tomorrow.
G
None at the moment, stay tuned for updates!

.......... PLEASE POST IN GENERAL or Q&A NEXT TIME. thanx
htc desire will have 2.2 with sense but they wont post it till closer to xmas according to what Ive read.
who knows what will happen though, xda is a pretty smart place.
okay that there's no official 2.2 with Sense, but devs made some Desire 2.2 with Sense, as I see

Isn't it possible for Hero too?
Hero Froyo AOSP is in its early stages as it is so a sense froyo will take much more time.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/evo-4gs-android-2-2-update-starts-trickling-out-tomorrow-loads/
It's coming. August 3rd, 2010.
Didnt people start froyo as a port from the N1? if so then a port from the Desire wont be any harder as its same hardware? i am probably be wrong but nevermind!
There are 2.2 Senese ROMS for us Desire Owners. I think its not possible to port it to the Hero. 2.2 Sense is for Powerful devices
We really need Sense on the Hero, that's the major thing that is lacking on Android 2.2 at the moment.
Oh well if not then Ill have to wait to upgrade my phone to whatever is the next main standard android phone after the Desire.
Would not be so sure about that, most heros can hit 700mhz, not that bad a speed.
My work laptop runs WindowsXP and Ubuntu, with only 800mhz.

MHz has nothing to do with performance. A Celeron D can run at 3GHz and will still perform more slowly than an underclocked 2GHz i7 series CPU.
In the land of mobile CPU's, our hero is very old. Even if it matched snapdragon in frequency, it would still lag behind.
Guys, are you serious that you prefer sense than launcherpro?
The only thing I missed from sense is the social network sync by contact, no big deal.
Go install Fusion Rom (Froyo) + Launcherpro and be happy!
Its not only the Laucnher. HTC has Skinned ANYTHING! And it looks great.

The CPU, or in fact the entire setup of my Thinkpad X22 is around 10 years old!
This is what used to piss me off about PC`s, people constantly seam to want bigger and faster, and 9 times out of 10, its not even needed.
It would appear that smart phones are going the same way.
For somebody to say "no you need a more powerfull device" is just pure spoon fed, marketing bollocks.
Remember the good old Amiga, or even Spectrum days, performance increases were done by the code, not like the daft PC way of doing things = "just bolt another cpu in under the bonnet"
Look at something like JIT, huge performance increases, simply by making better code, no need at all for a larger cpu.
The legend will get froyo sense in q3.
We'll port it and it will run pretty flawlessly, except that the camera will have problems like current cm6; has, until someone manages to compile a .33 kernel for the hero, including a fixed camera driver.
What do you think about this review? GSII won in all of the tests
http://pocketnow.com/android/htc-evo-3d-vs-samsung-galaxy-s-2-video
Personal preference is what it comes down to for every phone and person in the world. There is no such thing as the best phone, just the best phone for each person.
That said, who cares about this review? I like my EVO3D, period. Might another phone be slightly better in some areas, sure. Does it matter, no.

I'll admit that the processor in the sgs2 is better in benchmarks but man he sounded really bias.
What I love about all these Galaxy S II comparisons is the fact that the phone IS NOT YET AVAILABLE IN THE US!!! Carrier variants are known to have differences (HW & SW wise, especially in the US) so the small edge the test unit may have on Evo 3D can easily disappear once the REAL choice is available... just my $0.02

Is this due to synchronous vs asynchronous dual cores?
Does the "comparison" mention that the Samsungs build quality is the lowest of it's kind?
That the screens have these "weak spots" where it you press it too much they'll go black/dimmer?
They the charger port goes bad VERY quick and need to be replaced probably within the first 6 months.
That the speaker phone ALWAYS sounds like there's plastic film stuck in it?
I've had many Samsung phones, the only one I liked was the VERY first one I ever had back in 2002.
I'm no HTC nuthugger(because fk HTC for not releasing the unlocked bootloader) but HTC builds better phones. Simple.
Will have to revisit the test once the phone is actually available on the Sprint network, with the Sprint bloatware loaded on the Sammy. The GS2 is obviously a good phone, but this test isn't apples to apples.
Sammy sure knows how to make a gorgeous screen though
that superamoled + blows the superlcd on the evo3d away
the person who mentioned carriers will nerf **** too is correct
T-Mobile's Sensation has 7 something mb of ram, the evo's same hardware/phone almost but has 1 gb
Carriers lower the amount of ram to save money all the time, among other things, could result in a worse phone
I don't understand why Samsung insists on not making a good qHD screen tho with it....
Yes, the difference in benchmark scores is due to the differences between how the processors run. (synchronous vs. asynchronous)
on every day use, you cant see a difference between a really good single core vs dual core. Yes when you bench it, you see a difference. I mean we use our phones to use them everyday and bench them every day.
I really doubt you would see the difference between sgs2 and evo3d processor on everyday use.
This is like having a dual chip graphics card and running it on a 17inch monitor and not even use all the power. That is what android is right now, it is just not that demanding. I still highly doubt on every day use you will be able to see a difference between snapdragon dual core or samsung's new processor even with ICS.
I always though the benchmarks where due to the way the cores are set up/different. But I clocked my evo 3d to 1.8Ghz and ran quadrant on the performance governor. The highest I got was 2985. Now if I am correct, both cores should be maxed out due to the governor set by setcpu. If this is the case, the gs2 still beats the evo3d easily, even with the evo3d clocked to 1.8ghz.
I don't feel like this can be correct, but maybe it is? Maybe the exynos are that much better?
Or could it really be that sense 3.0 is a hog? I mean, with the hero, once it is on asop, you see a near 100% increase in scores.

Doubtful since benchmarks that utilize one or both cores still favor the sgs2

depends on the person. I personally think that super amoled screens are over saturated, I looked at the droid charge at verizon store and I really didn't like how the colors were on the icons. Yes its a beautiful screen but I myself prefer slcd better, just because it seems like the colors are more naturals on it.

sense probably has something to do with it. It is a resource hog, although it runs smooth, it does eat up a lot of resources.

I had the SGS2 for 3 weeks and the benchmarks do NOT reflect real world performance. The SGS2 did download web pages faster...by like maybe 3-4 seconds.
The build btw, feels way better than the current ones out...stronger plastic, matted back.
Even the gorilla glass website says our device does not have Gorilla Glass on it.
Love the review.

let me stop you there, and just say you're full of it
This phone has a dual core 1.2 ghz, just came from the Infuse on AT&T with a 1.2 ghz single core. it's fine most of the time, but has annoying lags when it's doing things (installing apps comes to mind, among some others)
The evo's really yet to ever stutter or lag like the Infuse did.

Do you have the evo3d now? How would you compare/rate both phones?

It really is preference. I am looking for camera quality and SGS2 is better there so I might be moving there. The speaker quality is really good on S2 also.
But some like the heavier/build quality of HTC better. Many don't like the super amoled Samsung screens. If you love Sense its Htc. (I use launcherPro). The dev community will be stronger undoubtedly for Evo...(although SG2 was rooted immediately.)
But...it is megalight, powerful and yep, sexy.
All that said...might not see it released for a while...some release issues were reported yesterday. Google around.

Fun idea but I dislike the idea of using my phone in landscape all the time. and even more with the keyboard.. But yea funny idea.
Yeah, it's not a very practical idea to be honest. I haven't used the software yet so I don't know what we'd be missing without the "Facebook Button". I guess that if it was ported then maybe a button could be mapped from the current layout. Who knows.

only point to be noted is instead of heroc use hero and the keys r numbered differently but u can figure it out wen u pull ur keypad.nl file
I can't think why you would want to do this. Some of the custom ROMs out there are based on the same version of Android, unless you're after SENSE 3.0 or something...
Nice idea, but I think the Chacha (the wife has one) is to unique to port, static keyboard, landscape view...
please port only for test

yes, remapping is not a problem.
To change it
find "hero-keypad" in \system\usr\keylayout\
edit hero-keypad with root explorer
change key 231 to "key 231 HTC_SHARE "
then your call button is your facebook share button
but i have also a update.zip for that.
why port software that can't help us in any way?)))...we have a lot of working roms that rock...
Want to see a working Sense 3.5 on the hero, and i believe that it will work without any problems
Stefan
yes I want to try Sense 3.5
if this is possible.
it should be possible
sense 2.1 runs on our hero smooooth
3.0 not.. need dual core
BUT sense 3.5 just needs an 800 Mhz processor and not that much ram (not much more then 2.1)
yes i know 800 Mhz agains 710 (max) armv6 are like apple's and peers
but its more likely to get sense 3.5 then 3.0
hope someone will port it soon
i tried but im not good enough

wow, you have a vivid imagination.
not only is the 800 Mhz processor quite a bit faster than most of us can overclock reliably (which is in the mid to high 600Mhz range), but that phone's chipset has on-board GPU hardware that the hero lacks which speeds up rendering immensely and may even be required by the pre-compiled htc sense executables on that phone. Depending on compile flags etc it's possible that rom may never run at all on the hero, even slowly.
There is no reason to believe it will run or won't run - there are far too many variables.
I'll tell you one thing - I WANT to see someone try this, and if anyone can do it I vote for JieeHD with some help from erasmux, elelinux, ninpo, Riemer and others.

YES IT IS... there is any concret feature that u like? because its not necesary to port the all the rom... (landscape, etc..)
maybe u can emule the features with any apk or theme
just coming back to the hero forum to put my input in here,
im sorry to say it but i think it is extremely unlikely you will get sense 3.5 on the hero.
we have just got a port on the desire and even that involved heavy modification of egl libs. its only a first beta at the moment and it runs smooth but it is plagued by intermittent lag once you start restoring apps. we use scripts and things to speed it up but in the end it still just isnt that smooth!
sorry to crush people's dreams of what could be but i just wanted to state the reality of course a dev could give it a damn good try to get it ported and may very well succeed!

-ARMv7 processor (for N64oid, I have a lot of those roms)
-1 gHz OC ability
-Rootable
-Fairly simple S-OFF (optional)
-Rom flashable
-HD game compatible
-GB 2.3.4 or Sense 3.0 (sense-prefered)
-Lots of apps on market
Thanks in advance!

It needs to be Skype, Tango, etc. (Video calling compatible)

its the htc desire not the s or hd one the very first one
good look
HTC Desire S would be my choice, although Xperia Ray is a very good candidate too (not sure its root-ability though)

Try an EVO shift... Truly a speedy phone, overclockable up to 2ghz, cyanogen roms, synergy, mikroms, plus a few others. We have some very nice kernel choices as well... Including Tiamat and Pershoot. Comes with a hardware keyboard, handy for some of those N64 roms . And it's cheap, be on the look out for one 50 or lower with a contract or upgrade just saying. It's an HD phone as well. Has loads of apps, plus you can edit your build.prop and stuff.. Root is a bit annoying.. You have to down grade your hboot first then it's a 1click root and yes, downgrading the hboot is possible, check the shift forums... But it is not hard, all the info is thereBut for all that... Next year 2.5ghz quad core snapdragons are coming out. Also check out this Christmas for some new HTC phones like the Ruby...

Should I make this trade guys? I am offered a G2x in great condition(Comes in box) for my MyTouch 4G. So far I like my MyTouch4G. Running smooth and great but this offer has me quite interested. However I would like the opinions of people who own a G2X and not just some reviewer for a site that is probably getting sponsored and doesn't want to be too harsh . or even better someone who has owned 2 devices.
Here is a small summary of things I would like.
-Great battery life
-No hardware problems
-Great XDA Dev support
Thanks in advance! Also I think this is the right section, I looked at all the other ones and I am sure this is it. Sorry if it isn't >.<.
I bought a G2X for my brother and I tested it for quite awhile. Its a great phone. In short if you can trust what the person says and are willing to take the risk, go for it.
Here are the pros:
- G2X has a dual core tegra 2 processor 1 GHz (very fast) vs the Mytouch 4g's single core snapdragon 1 GHz processor (good but not future proof)
- G2X has an 8 megapixel camera vs the Mytouch 4g's 5 megapixel camera
- G2X has a 4.0 inch screen vs the Mytouch 4g's 3.8 inch screen
- G2X has an HDMI port, the Mytouch 4g does not
Cons:
- Slightly less battery life, due to the G2X having a monster dual core processor
But battery life is relative, it depends if you will keep vanilla android or install a custom rom like cyanogen or miui, you could see your battery life improve greatly by rooting and using a custom rom while using root only apps like Setcpu which configure your processor to save battery while the phone is idle.
Long story short, if the phone is in good condition, do it and goodluck!
