No, it's Sense 3.6. OTA means Over-The-Air which means you can update your phone without wiping. It's not the whole ROM, It's just a bunch of new files. I hope you get that despite my bad explanation

If HTC keep upgrading us to the latest versions of sense/android, we will have no reason to upgrade to a newer phone
Also, they are not making any money on these upgrades, just keeping us happy who have bought the phone a year or so ago

The market is competitive, especially with Sony and Samsung putting out such quality hardware, they are beating HTC who used to be on top in terms of hardware

Hi and welcome
Any users that wanna say hi, introduce yourself and give a little history of devices/experience etc your more than welcome.
This forum has been long over due, maybe we can attract some new devs now and get some more development going
big thanks to everyone who made this forum possible:thumbup:
Came from the wildfire s, great little phone had s-off which was cool, some great devs and roms etc.
Got the desire c not long after release, one for my son, one for my woman and one for myself.
Great little phone, good price sim free unbranded, does all I want it to
Last week got my upgrade from tmobile uk, they gave me a oneX with an amazing deal, as I wanted to leave and they wanted me to stay
Some cyanogenmod development would take the desire c to another level
Your a lucky guy, I dream I got one not long ago.
Everybody, if you have the choise buy this phone. It's just amazing Only the screen is a little bit small, but it's a cool phone. My first HTC and I won't buy other phones now, only HTC
My phone history is somewhat... erm.. erratic... Love cracking Phones open and have begun writing guides on how to do things... but been an android fanatic for almost 3 years
Had the following;
SE Xperia x10
HTC Desire HD,
HTC Sensation x 2
Samsung Galaxy SII x 2
SE Xperia Play
HTC Evo 3D
Samsung Galaxy Note x 2
Samsung Galaxy Note II x 2
HTC Desire C (Current - To Tide Me Over)
HTC One X
LG Optimus 3D
Motorola Xoom 32GB 3G
Nexus 7 16GB Wifi
HTC Flyer 32GB 3G
As you can see TONS , and ive learnt lots, however i want to start cooking Roms soon as i understand the android Eco Environment quite well
Damn mate, you could open a museum
Before my wildfire s, I was a big Nokia supporter, having nearly every model since the 3210, then symbian was sinking fast so I jumped off my 5800 and never looked back, although if they made an android device I would be tempted.
Anyway nice to have you here mate:thumbup:

Ive had...
HTC wildfire( sold on mazuma, although survived the washing machine )
HTC sensation( no longer in my possession due to unfortunate circumstances )
DJC touchpad 2 (pretty crap...)
Other crappy phones..
HTC desire C running explosion Rom by seanny... Switch to my Stock NFC Rom when needed.
Been flashing roms since I was 13, love android, love my desire C but love my mums one s even more I prefer bigger screened phones so after having a sensation, the feeling of going to a desire c wasn't as sensational....

This is my first android, so I won't be able to help the community much, just with issues and solutions a user can come up with.
Been looking for a cellphone upgrade for the last year or two, and I picked this phone since it resembles my old HTC size and texture.
During my teenage years got Nokia's between 3310 and 6100 (s40) to 6630 (s60), and later moved to the WM camp with the HTC Touch. Really liked the phone and thanks to xda was able to upgrade from WM6 to 6.5 that extended the life of the phone way more than I expected (5 years but this is due to other circumstances as well... also can't remember my old xda account... )
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!!
have a great holiday:beer:
Maybe Santa will bring desire c's to many more users and many more devs will flock to our forum
merry x-mas guys have a blast:highfive:
This is my first android as well. Although I've had this phone for quite a while. I've been off and on nameless and explos!on ROMs because I can't chose which one is better although I've never tryed slim sense or the famously incompleted, cm9.
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app
My first ever android device was a htc wildfire, man was that thing bad, but i did learn alot about roms and kernels etc...
My second device was a sony ericsson xperia x8, which was a really nice phone and had alot of cool themes, roms and stuff going on.
then i got the first htc desire, which i loved because it was fast and wasn't too big and due to it basically being the same as a nexus one the development was so awesome
Now i have my desire C which is a good little, phone and as others say it does what i want it too. But however, if some cyanogenmod development on this device came along it would be so much faster and smoother than with sense for certain.
See i now no longer have this device, it was a stand in for me, but its a cute device.
Back to my trusty Note II .
Id be happy to continue trying to develop for it ha

http://llabtoofer.com/2014/10/19/htc-android-5-0-lolipop-update/
So which devices will get it? Here the list that I can share for now. Please remember, it’s not final one, some devices are still under evaluation and there is high possibility that they won’t get update. With Android 5.0 Lollipop update, some “old” devices will receive Sense with EYE experience (not all features will be available on old devices)
HTC One (M8), HTC One (M7) are the first to get Android 5.0, timeframe for GPE is late November-December, for Sense based devices January-February.
HTC Desire EYE, HTC One (M8) Dual SIM, HTC One (M7) Dual SIM, HTC One (E8), HTC One (E8) Dual SIM, HTC Butterfly 2 should receive updates in January-March.
HTC One Mini 2, Desire 816 more likely to get updates in March-April
HTC One Max, HTC One Mini, HTC Butterfly S – March-May
Other devices from Desire line especially that are based on MTK processors are still under evaluation and I can’t say anything specific about them, as they are produced on ODM bases, so software development is mainly lay on ODMs…
That’s all for now, if you like this article, share it over social buttons below! Stay tuned!

Any info on ART vs Dalvik out there? I've read plenty and understand the difference, but haven't seen any actual comparison tests.
I'm gonna guess by end of year...wishful thinking
assuming L is officially released today, the 90 day clock begins, but I have a feeling HTC has already begun working on

This Software Enhancement provides the following enhancements / improvements for the HTC Desire 510:
Sprint Application updates:
Sprint Zone

Lumen Toolbar – (Lollipop MU following in 2015 This will be removed)
This update will also provide a fix to address the following post launch issue:
Some users may see a persistent notification message referring to a SMITH tool expiration – logging tool for HTC. This notification has zero impact on the usability of the device, but the message is confusing to the customer. This message will no longer be displayed with this MR
Software version is 1.47.652.1
This update is rolled out in batches
Refer to the Sprint HTC Desire 510 Software Update in Support for install instructions

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)

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.
Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using XDA Free mobile app
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 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.

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 .....

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
