Hello to everyone you know if HTC roadmap has a new version of ROM for the Touch HD. I have installed the latest available, but I saw that for the new PDA HTC has released new features. You believe that will be available in a new official ROM? Thanks Tony
No new features! There will only be some bug fixes and even this is not certain!

Apple is the only company which provides new features to you devices after they sold there devices. No other vendor provide even a bug fixed release correctly. It's not hardware that making apple win the market it's there Operating System, Regular Bug Fix Release, Regular new Features release, Standard way of using devices (iTunes), Standard way of hacking apple devices (Jailbreak).
By seeing HTC Touch HD most of them thought this phone has high specs than iphone and high price than iphone so it surely be more advance device than iphone. But those who brought iphone are happly enjoying new games every day new application every hour and those who brought Touch HD (even after 1 year) still trying to make this device better with new application ones in a month or two and new games ones in 6 months or more.

What are you taking victoradjei. HTC might release 2 or 4 more devices with same specs as HTC Touch HD with new manila and make money. Why it will care about a device which is already sold?
it's pretty obvious...if HTC were to release new updates / features for Touch HD you would see them by now...I was disappointed by the lack of updates by HTC for a high-end device, honestly i was expecting more from HTC and if isn't for the wonderful support / ROM / apps from XDA, i wouldnt have chosen HD over iphone...
Query answered, thread closed.
I don't want this to turn into another.....why don't HTC allow free updates/upgrades etc like Apple??
HTC WP7 owners take note, a new update is likely being pushed to you. And there is no need to take cover: this one is coming from HTC proper, and not Microsoft.
That in mind, we are expecting little difficulty with its distribution, a pleasant change from the past few weeks of struggle that have surrounded the first major WP7 update, NoDo.
What does it contain? According to various comments, the update, called “HTC Update for Windows Phone,” interacts with the a handset’s “radio, firmware and bootloader.”
Another comment claims that the speaker on his handset was significantly louder after the update, which took around 40 minutes to install. If you own a HTC WP7 handset, please check with Zune to see if you have an update, and if so, sound off in the comments what changes you experience.
This is what people are seeing:
Isn’t it refreshing to hear about a WP7 update that is not NoDo?
No update on my hd7. Beginning to wonder if its euro only.

I live in europe, also no update here when I check..... I have unlocked/unbranded clean HD7 from Germany.
Is the only way to check Zune? no other way to get this?

In my experience the NoDo update fixed the speaker volume on my phone. I haven't installed the htc update yet.
Can anyone confirm the kernel number for this phone? thanks
2.6.39.4
it's very strange, why LG doesn't use 3.x kernel...
maybe someone should mail to them, will they give a update with new kernel soon or something
@edit oh, i found this in HOX thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728723
seems like we'll have a 3.1 kernel in 4.0.4 update, hope that LG will do this too

Lg modified their kernel which is probably why they're still on 2.x

The 4XHD can record phonecalls so it definitly has a 'modified' kernel. In this case it's modified by LG themselves to provide for this and maybe other functionality that we aren't even aware off. LG has to patch the new kernel with the same functionality as the 2.x.x kernel first before releasing it to the general public.
Which is probably a reason not to have the latest 3.x-kernel.
Just try it. Call someone, while still in the call go to the apps-menu, start voicerecorder and it'll start recording the call (with a 10 sec beep). The HTC One X can't do this, nor can the xperia U nor can the galaxy S III nor the Galaxy mini (which i tried too this afternoon). Most phones can't even operate the voicerecorder while in a call.
This alone is a unique feature which LG should advertise as a major selling point. I can't understand why they don't.
Nonetheless, I hope the call recording tip is of use.

Notice where it lists Lumen Toolbar it says (Lollipop MU following in 2015 This will be removed)
So Lumen Toolbar is no more following the Lollipop Material Update? (not sure what MU stands for but this is my guess)
never mind... deleted
Lollipop on desire 510
Not sure if this belongs here, but I accidentally posted it here so I apologize to the mod who has to move it.
I've found a couple links online with steps for installing lollipop on the desire 510. They reference the XDA forums but I cannot find any such thread. Can anyone tell me if this is true/works? I'm eager to get lollipop and don't want to wait for HTC to release if I don't have to, lol.
Relevant info:
" Upgrade/Update HTC Desire 510 to 5.0 Lollipop
I rewrite this tutorial from forum.xda-developers.com :
The users of HTC Desire 510 can now update their handsets to Android 5.0 Lollipop using custom ROM. The new Android 5.0 Lollipop comes with many new features ..."
Mod edit: Link removed
Thanks in advance to anyone able to shed some light on the situation.

Nope
No, man. It's false. Currently, the only ROMs that are available for this device are NonSense, RevMod, & CM11, and even CM is in an alpha state. Lollipop hasn't arrived for this device yet.
Thanks, figured it was too good to be true.

There was a leaked schedule saying which and when HTC phones will receive the lollipop update (or at least sense 7). It said the 510 will get it sometime around April. If not, most likely May or June.

the link f... too many peolpe phone !!!
the link suck
It's a scam. You look at it and the 3 links all require you to sign up for a bogus product and by the look off it they charge you a lot for nothing.
If the devs here haven't succeeded yet why would we even think this crowd have done it 6 months ago
Yeah wouldn't trust that page myself. For starters they claim it's a lollipop ROM for the desire 510 but it doesn't exist according to htc's update page, second they claim they had re written a guide from here on xda, I don't recall ever seeing a guide about upgrading this device to lollipop anywhere, third they show screen shots of an aosp styled lollipop but this is an htc device which would have (most likely) sense 7 so either the screen shots are of a generic lollipop or just wrong, fourth the ROM size, multiple parts totaling nearly a gigabyte in size. Assuming the screen shots are correct there is no reason why the ROM should be that large.
Now as far as lollipop for our device and it's availability I did find a website which (among other info) states the following:
The Rest Of HTC's Stable...
“The Android Lollipop update looks as if it will spread throughout 2015,” reports Phone Probe, “with the higher-end devices receiving the update in the first half of the year. Of those expected to get the Lollipop treatment in Q1 of 2015 are the HTC One M8 and the HTC One M7. As expected, they get the update first.”
Q2 of 2015: One E8, Desire EYE, One M8 EYE, Butterfly 2.
Q3 of 2015: One Max, M7 Dual SIM, Desire 816, Desire 820u, One M8 Mini, One E8 China, One M8 EYE China.
Q4 of 2015: Desire 510, 610, 820s, and One Mini.

What I find funny is that Marshmallow will be out and popular before this phone even sees Lollipop. HTC's done it again.

This phone has seen Lollipop thanks to @r3pwn.. You just don't know how to install it.
HTC has already said that the Desire 510 won't be getting Lollipop.
HTC has already said that the desire won't be getting Lollipop:
PhoneNews .com / htc-confirms-desire-510-sprint-virgin-models-wont-get-lollipop-30689
(I'm sorry I can't post an outside link yet.)
So our only hope, as far as I've seen, so far is CM12 which is being worked on by r3pwn and rbheromax. Personally I'm watching with baited breath and occasionally testing what they have already released.
Very sad to post this guys, but turns out the device will not be getting lollipop due to not providing an "Optimal Experience"
https://twitter.com/htc/status/592823289204047872
We will be getting 4.4.4 though which still sucks as it will take them another 3-4 months to develop it.
This sucks .. Ironic that my last device s4 mini that I sold over a year ago is getting lollipop while my new device isn't..
Well i don't trust htc .. sometimes they said something and it's totally wrong.. remember on their website they said that the One mini 2 will get Eye Experience ... And look now .. no Eye experience on our device..
So let's see
Disappointing and no M9 Mini on the horizon.... I might have to buy my first non-HTC phone.
Together with the disappointing release of the M9, this might have been the last HTC phone I've bought for a long time. I felt they had something with the M7, but since then no significant progress has been made and announcements like these certainly pushes me over the edge.
It could be 1gb ram is not enough ..
I noticed the HTC sense home update made my phone lag a lot so I uninstalled it seems much better now.
I think my next phone won't be a HTC maybe a Samsung .Samsung generally have better cams than HTC I think
Moto G is same cpu and ram and runs android 5.1 very well.
So either Sense put too much of an overhead or HTC just didn't sell enough HTC One Mini 2 to make it worth worrying about. It seemed to have been a popular phone in the UK but in US its only on one network.
Few custom roms for it either .....

Cheers for that, was wondering what was causing phone to freeze & it seems uninstalling sense home update has cured it

Guys i run my stock rom with no lag at all .
I've made one stuff to get this kind of flying..
I will build a rom hybrid if i can get some htc apps work on cm12 rom.
I think we can get a rom close to sense 7.0 on lollipop.
I'll try that and i'll open a thread for the project .. if any dev who owned the one mini 2 can join me on this project
Stay tuned
Ps : to get more free ram to run sense with no lag i will make thread for you guys
My mini don't lag at all I'm running ur ROM will . but I've debloated all the useless apps that HTC like to put on the phone kids mode google + etc I even run the old version of google apps that let's u save maps and keep for longer than a month but as soon as I updated sense home it caused lag so I uninstalled it ..
hey guys ..
someone can make a petition on twitter or via mail to htc for release Lollipop with sense 6.0 on the HTC One mini 2 ..
i cannot believe that they pull out some device and they just left their users ...
Maybe there's still hope...
If someone can talk to them.. ask them for the lollipop .anyone who got a twitter account, send them this message about lollipop for mini 2.

I have... But they have the same sh***y PR reply stating that there won't be an "optimal performance" in Lollipop
Old tricks from HTC. The same was with Desire HD and One Sv and few more phones. Thats why i change the brand. I still like the HTC phones but not gonna buy me again. I was with HTC since the original Desire was out.
Same for me. I realy like the HTC Device looking. But the One M8 was too big for me, so i decided to take the mini 2. And now i get the same answere as i got for my old good Desire: No Update.
And they cannot tell me that Lolipop will not work on the mini2 It's simply the same hardware as the One M7 and there everything is working.
This was my last HTC and the last Android, too.
That's partially true, m7 has more ram and a different processor, but that's not an excuse in my opinion. The m7 is one year older than our mini 2... And 2nd, there has been no major update, we're still on 4.4.2, as when it was commercialized... Absurd
Just had this convo with HTC. Of course they used the same reply
