HTC Desire ROM on G1?

My friend just showed me his new HTC Desire rom and it's using the Sense UI w/multi touch which look really awesome o_o'. Does anyone know if the G1 will get a port for the desire like the N1 or are we stuck with firmware 1.5/2.0/2.1? Since it's just the N1 with a Hero rom

HELL NO. Use common sense. The Desire has a 1 ghz processor compared to 528 mhz on g1/mt3g. It has 573 mb of RAM compared to 192 mb of RAM.
If we can put a laggy Hero ROM on your phones how do we get a freaking Desire ROM? Just do yourself a favor and buy a new phone.
Just wait until Hero gets sense UI 2.1 and for someone to port it (if anyone has the lame g1/mt3g or even cares about it. Did you see how new ROMs are barely coming out now since the top devs got the nexus one! I can't wait until my contracts run out so I can get a new android phone)

The hero roms I've ran weren't very laggy compared to stock OS '

i wish, but it would be really hard for some one to format it to the g1 because the desire's screen it bigger

I'd have to agree with this. It's analogous to installing Windows Vista on a 200 MHz Pentium-II processor. Can it be done? Sure. Will it be usable? Unlikely.

big words make brain hurt -.- lol
but seriously though you never know, the devs might find a way to make it usable.
when there's a will, there's a way.

It will be too slow and stuff like that. Screen size issues and we got to optimize the hell out of it just to make it lag decent.
Plus it is too big to fit on the system partition of the g1 even with the death spl.

well i hope a dev like KING can port for the g1 - i know he can, the guy is a beast, just give it some time

Best Sense rom?

Hey all,
I recently had my Dream jtagged/rooted (thanks ezterry!) and have been shopping for roms. I am currently running SuperD which is working great, however I really wanted to give a Sense rom a try. Any suggestions? Nothing too experimental, just something fast and stable enough for daily use. Thanks!

Well JC's hero was the fastest and stable but it ran on 1.5. If you want something 2.1-ish then use King's Droid Eris rom or Vega's Legend both are quite equal in speed and stability(imo). Running the Eris port(don't know why) and find myself frustrated on app load times and battery intake. I would consider not using 2.1 first though, I would actually recommend selling the G1 as not much is going on in the dev section OE is still in 2.0 development and nothing has come out of 2.1 yet that is full and stable/fast. Either you don't have to take my word for it . Have fun with your new-ish G1!
Off note-ish: Lotta people getting their G1 un-bricked eh?

Partitioned SDCard. 128MB at least. VegaMan's Legend ROM V0.9.1 is AMAZING! I can give you a version with LWP and LED's if you want?

^That would be good. Is it better than KiNgxKxlick Legend2G1 and DroidEris2G1?

Sense UI on Donut?
Is there a rom that run Sense that is based on Donut?

^Hey you are using Droid2ErisG1, how is the battery life?

So if I want Sense I am stuck with 2.1 builds? None are all that fast.
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

no, you can have fast and stable sense on 1.5 roms. none 1.6. and sluggish on 2.1

Wow, thanks for all the tips. Looks like I have some experimenting to do. I'm thinking I'll give Vegaman's Legend a try and if that doesn't work out, wait for a better 2.1 sense build...can't see myself going back to 1.5 just for a few visual trinkets here and there.
@protomanez: mine wasn't exactly bricked...it was the stupid Rogers 911 update...so, about as useful as a brick

ICS. Isn't it overrated?

Hi all. I've tried ICS on my IncS and on my Asus transformer TF 101. After a month's use on the Asus and a week's use on the inc s, I've reverted to stock Rom on the Asus and to ARHD (almost stock) on the inc s. Correct me or convince me but I find ICS to be one big step sideways (or is it in the wrong direction)?. Your comments?
...edit...
I prefer sense ROMs.

Sense fanboy rules out this whole statement. Going from cm7 to cm9 is extreme. If I wasn't on a cell I'd elaborate.

I guess ICS is a huge step for guys that never tried MIUI or don't like Sense Roms, for those o tried/like MIUI and Sense it is a question of just some more features.

At least for devices built with/for Sense in mind, when it gets officially combined with ICS by HTC (later this year, they say), it may reveal a new light on the subject.
It might work great and be more stable/smooth and give you the desired Sense functions that current ICS ports don't have.
And only at 4.0.3, ICS may yet have places to go we will have to wait to see.
Maybe you are correct, still.. for now...

These two bits of information are key. Try it on a Galaxy Nexus / Nexus S and you may have a differing opinion.

well as st.matt said, you should try it on the galaxy nexus device and then only you will get the real taste of ice crem sandwich!
With better interface,power management,loads of new features...its definitely better than its previous versions.

@StMatt,
I agree better hardware, newer phone goes well with ICS. But does it mean that older phones with less RAM, slower single core processors can run the same OS with all bells & whistles? I have this inc s which I feel.is good enough with ARHD sense 3.0 (even sense 3.5 makes this phone groan & creak), so what is good for THIS device? ICS with all its refinements? Without some 'nice to have features' that Google has deliberately throttled in ICS? Or even the ICS upgrade with sense 3.5, that's due in Q2? Maybe the last option seems best IMHO. Anyone else like to refute?

Doesn't have to do specifically with hardware. It means those phones and tablets have better support due to official releases.
Everything else that doesn't have an official release has devs trying their best to get it working, but not everything is working or disabled. Such as most HTC devices.

Sense 3.5 reduced my phone to a laggy mess, which is why I switched to miui. I'd be interested in seeing what the official release of ICS runs like when it's out.

When htc release the update to Ics there will be lots of Ics Roms that are really smooth and fast for the incredible s

yes agree with you. sens + ics in my opinion will be a step forward

I'm waiting too for ICS + sense. Lets get our hopes up..... Or not!
HTC Incredible S - S-Off
Recovery: 4EXT v1.0.0.3 RC3 Touch
Radio: 3322.10.08.28_M
ROM: MIUI

After seeing the ICS ports by StMatt and Virtuous team, I'm having a sneaky, suspicious feeling that ICS + sense will make me wish for going back to gingerbread + sense.
ICS IMO has been a major disappointment, (just like the Niagara Falls have been the second major disappointment in an American bride's life).
Sent from my HTC Incredible S

I've been running the Quattro ROM on my phone for almost a month now, and while that ROM does have some customization in it and still has a fair bit of bugs, I'd have a hard time going back to 2.3 even with the Sense. While Sense is really nice, Android before ICS did have a fair bit of lag on it and just didn't feel as smooth as things like iOS. With ICS, moving homescreens, swiping pages in applications, etc. just feels a little more natural and with less lag.
Plus, with Google Chrome for ICS, that's enough reason to go over. Miles above the stock Android browser!

Nik is releasing a sense+ ics rom tomorrow and I can't wait to try it. I tried all the other ics roms that are out for the incs and I have to admit that I'm quite disappointed. I use cm7 before I switched to trinity so niks New rom might be the one for me

Seems like some Microsoft initiated FUD campaign, in order to promote Windows 8; but whaddya know, there may just be some truth in the fact that "ICS has not been well received by phone / tablet manufacturers and ICS acceptance percentages have been way too little"
Maybe there is some truth in the blurb, and maybe the sour grapes feeling in me is really justified....

Do you think the ICS original rom will receive 3.X kernel?That would be awesome!

sense 4.0

One of the roms i installed for my inspire was ICS and sense 4.0 ported from The ONE V, What's the hold up of getting sense 4.0 out for the VIVID? It was slick.. but all the ICS for inspire are Alpha, and they had things like camera or usb tethering issues those are 2 of my must works inorder for me to use a rom.. I ended up getting a fantastic deal on the VIVID so i used one of my upgrades. back to the question since Sense 4 is out why hasnt anyone ported it

The hold is getting people to port it. Not all developers are concerned with that. Sense takes a lot of time to port due to it being intertwined in to the OS.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium

Yup. We only have a few devs around, and they're excellent devs. But like megatron said, most of their priorities aren't on a 4.0 port. There is at least one working on a port, last I heard he had run into a snag with the RIL...but was still working on it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540442). There are some wonderful 3.6 ROMs floating around though.

wasnt sure how intergrated it was, I havent messed with many strictly Android OS, wasnt sure if sense wasnt just a big app running similar to the launchers. I have messed with basic ICS more than basic GB. I had instantly better experience using CoreDroid on my inspire so I never had a desire to load up MIUI or other senseless roms. I wish I had the patience to program. Well looks like I got a damn good phone coming in, for sure a great hold over till the ONEXL or better comes around.. Ill probably run a sense ICS on the vivid.. I really just want he clock from sense 4.0 and any camera enhancements.

How bout the unbuntu app.. anyone using it.. i was going to hold off until a 2+gb ram phone came out, But I would figure this phone could do real well on it. Plus plugged up to the hdmi on a big screen, bluetooth key board phone as mouse or bt mouse, blue tooth game controller.. Onlive App streaming hd video game service.. Im am really looking forward to this phone almost as much as the next wave of phones coming later this year.. Pocket PC's never died.. they took over the phone market.

I run Ubuntu on my phone. It works great. No problems

Android 4.1 for Incredible S from HTC?Maybe'

Look at this:

Maybe we will have a chance Or at least a port from Desire X!

I surely hope so.
But I'm guessing that it will be a bit late like the ICS update.

Jb will come with sense 4+ for all devices.
guys we have seen heaps of updates compared to other phones (nexus doesn't count)
Big updates:
2.2 froyo + sense 2.1
2.3.3 gingerbread + sense 2.1
2.3.5 GB with sense 3.0
Now 4.0 ICS with sense 3.6
The phone was unveiled at MWC 2011 in January iirc. I still remember lying on the floor reading about the incredible S's rotating buttons, fascinated by them. Long time ago. Point is, that our phone is more than 18 months old, nearly 2 years.
That's quite a major bump in both android and sense versions compared with other devices
SGS2 came with 2.3.3 GB
Got 2.3.5
Then got 4.0
Maybe getting 4.1 (higher chance than us)
They have been bumped up the same amount of important android versions as us. Theirs just came later and is way higher specced, so they are getting 4.1
Tl, Dr we should be happy with what we have. Like I said earlier if HTC bring it out for us I would definitely get another HTC next.
But the "2011 phones are being looked at" or whatever they said was likely in reference to the rezound, e3d and sensation etc. We are another step down with our single core processor and lower amount of ram (same as sensation, wouldn't be surprised if HTC skip out on the pyramid because of this )

I was talking about the stock HTC update, most other Sense-ROMs are kinda smooth.
It's the stock ROM from HTC that's just pure rubbish. And has been since 3.5 update... But I gotta admit, I did like Sense when I bought this phone and it was Sense 2.1... then it has only gotten worse, and the ICS update I didn't even care to try, and from reading the General section here I think I made the right choice.
Anyway, I still stand by my opinion: if HTC release a JB update it'll probably be something rushed together to make us quiet. Normal users could probably not care less.
And... doesn't 4.1 feel a bit old now?

All Sense 3.6 roms are made from stock rom as a base with minor tweaks. And of course, as many others, you're talking about something that you haven't even tried.
I also doesn't know when IncS have got Sense 3.5 update. As far as I know the last GB update was with Sense 3.0, so you're talking about something you don't know, again.

Okay, let's take this from the beginning;
I didn't flash the 3.6 due to the fact that the 3.0 (see, I got it right this time... my memory doesn't handle numbers that well) update was rather sluggish, by using custom ROMs you got away from the sluggish feeling.
And by judging from what I've read about it (excluding you), the stock update seems to be even worse.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797471 <- just a quick search on Google, and I found that. First xda result, and if you want I can back up my statements with more sources.
Sense 2.1 on Froyo was okay, in both stability and smoothness. It felt like it was actually optimized for this device.
Are we going to keep on with this rather pointless discussion?
Obviously our opinions differ, and it will probably just go on like this in eternity.
My point is clear, early versions of Sense are better than the newer ones. The ICS update was probably only rolled out to us because it was released before our 18 months were over...
Any mistakes with numbers and so forth are to be blamed on my own lazyness, since I am way too lazy to check through this post for errors.
