NEW!! OFFICIAL HTC GINGERBREAD UPDATE Yea, the Stable Official Rom with Unlimited Memory that you've been waiting for!
(Sense | Android 2.3.3 (GingerBread) | DATA2SD | CRT TV Off Animation | Trackpad Awake | Seamless migration from Froyo and any other Roms without Data loss)
Official GB 2.3.3 v3.14.405.1 (Stock Sense 1.9) | Stock rooted Desire GSM Rom | ext 4 | Bravo Stock Hboot INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND DOWNLOAD LINKS ARE ON MY SITE:
While this means that this does not have Sense 2 or 3, this also means that this is based on the Official HTC RUU built for the Htc Desire. So you can expect everything to work perfectly. The difference is that while htc designed the desire to have 147 mb of internal memory, we have redesigned it to have any amount of internal memory!!
No need to meddle with Hboots, use stock Hboot
no need to adjust with incomplete implementations like app2sd or a2sd+. Use 100% of your ext partition!
Install hundreds (or thousands if you prefer) of apps. No need to uninstall anything any more!

Last but most important, Donors and XDA users for encouraging me!
Donations encourage devs to spend more time on their Roms. It's not because we need the money, but because we feel that our work is so useful to someone else that they felt a need to Donate. If you feel like Donating, use the Thanks button. Alternately, you can also express your affection for the Rom by writing a post or blog about it.
A big thanks to these people for the generous Donations received, and the various past and present users of StarBurst, GingerBurst and SuperNova Roms for their great support and continuous encouragement. Thanks a lot, Guys!
Rom Making is not a business for me and neither should it be for any other person on XDA who calls himself a developer. If you have the audacity to beg for money, you ought to be somewhere else!
Note: Due to some weird Voodoo blackmagic, the Thanks Button on this post is missing. Use the buttons from the next post!!
Food for thought:
What HTC has to say about GingerBread update for the Desire:
Quote:
HTC: This update is only recommended for expert users who want to experience Android 2.3 and understand the limitations which apply to this update. Due to memory constraints several applications have been removed from this update and we are only offering the ROM upgrade utility (RUU) for you to download. Please note that flashing this ROM will erase your previous customizations, including any messages, emails, contacts, and other personal information.
SuperNova Team: This update is recommended for every user who wants to experience Android 2.3 without any of the the limitations which apply to HTC's update. Every application removed by HTC has been readded! Please note that flashing this ROM will preserve your previous customizations, including any messages, emails, contacts, and other personal information.
HTC: The major changes in this update include:
- All customizations, including operator applications, will be removed
- All wallpapers, except the default wallpaper, will be removed and placed online on the HTC Developer website
- Several HTC applications will be removed and placed online on the HTC Developer website
- The official Facebook application will be removed and is downloadable on the Android Market.
SuperNova Team: We have readded everything.
HTC: This ROM update is for development only and not for general public use. Upgrades to non-authorized phones may result in loss of functionality. In addition certain functions may no longer be usable after re-flashing the ROM, including but not limited to MMS and SMS and HTC also disclaims liability for any unusable functions. HTC also disclaims liability for the loss and/or leakage of any personal data resulting from the re-flashing of the ROM.
SuperNova Team: This ROM update is for everyone, and is for general public use! Upgrades will not result in loss of functionality, if you have the Sense (pun intended) to follow simple step-by-step instructions vide the site!
Why is SuperNova the Rom for me? - Unlimited Internal space guaranteed!
Quote:
Most of the users of Desire don't have rooting in mind when they buy their devices. The only thing that bothers them when they use the phone is the extremely low internal memory (147 MB remaining in Internal memory) they get with it.
There have been earlier implementations to overcome this procedure like Google's own Froyo Apps2sd, and the A2sd+ by Cyanogen and Darktremor. However the fact remains that even with all those, one can barely install about 20 or so apps before Internal memory gets over. Even modifying the size of the MTD blocks (with different Hboot sizes or Data++) can install a maximum of about 30-50 moderately sized apps (much less if you use Firefox, Games, Themes etc). If you're a fan of games, things will inevitably become bitter very soon.
However Sibere came up with an innovative and simple solution called Data2SD, which though similiar in concept to so called Data2ext/Data2whatever codes, uniquely provided a stable footing to prevent any reboots/loss of memory to prevent data loss. The code changes the whole /data mount to an ext4 journalled partition, so that you can add any amount of Internal memory for your Desire. This means that you can use any amount of space from your sdcard as Internal memory. Problem solved! It doesnt need you to S-off (though that would make the installation simpler by one step), or changing your Hboot, or your MTD partition allocation.
With Sibere's help, I have fully integrated his Data2sd code in my automation scripts for installing/updating Data2sd automatically, a.k.a Typhon, into the SuperNova Gingerbread 2.3.3 Rom so that after installing the Rom, when users reboot for the first time (S-on users will need to flash another file instead of directly rebooting), instantly the Internal memory shoots up to 2Gb (this depends on the amount of space you have partitioned for ext4). It is completely Idiot-proof (no hardcore knowledge needed at all. You dont even have to know what adb is!), in case there is an issue with the installation, the advanced Typhon script included will pinpoint exactly where and when the installation faltered, and can provide logs for instant troubleshooting.
SuperNova also has a dedicated website and support forum at www.droidzone.in where a complete wiki/user manual is available for a complete walkthrough wizard during installation. Including the Stock HTC Gingerbread Sense released by HTC a couple of days back, it is the ideal upgrade for those wanting HTC Gingerbread experience in all its pristinity, but with the dream of more Internal Memory come true. Of course being completely deodexed, users are at liberty to theme it at will.
As of August 2011, the built-in files available on UOT Theme kitchen (an awesome endeavour by the way), are outdated framework files and are incompatible with the latest SuperNova Rom's framework. Flashing the themes cooked on the basis of their built in files will result in a bootloop or system hang. Flashing themes cooked after directly uploading the requested files (framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk) is therefore recommended. You're welcome to request the UOT themers to add this Rom's correct framework files to their list, as my requests for this have been ignored so far. As a sidenote, kindly note that at no point of installation of the Rom/Kernel/Themes should you wipe Cache or Dalvik-Cache (even if asked to, by kernel devs/theme modders)
Specific Thread Rules (Warning: Will be enforced)
We hope the Rom works flawlessly and quick like it does on the majority of MicroSD cards. If, woe betide, your microsd card is one of the few incompatible cards, you may notice significant lags. This is a clear indication of the card's incompatibility, and since this is a hardware flaw, we cannot correct this with any software we write! Understand that. Any flaming or irresponsible remarks like "your Rom s*cks", "lags as h*ell" etc will not be tolerated (when a simple search or browsing will reveal 100x times users thanking us and reporting that the Rom shows awesome performance for them.
Requesting ETAs also annoys developers in general, and us too. We do have a life outside of XDA, and our Roms do not provide any significant source of income. So, we release code when it's ready. It doesnt help with you asking when it's going to be released.
This is also not the place to discuss other roms, or why this Rom doesnt have some particular feature in comparison with another! Any such posts are in violation of XDA forum's generic rules, and that of the Desire subsections' rules in particular, and will be reported to Forum mods for necessary action. This thread is about development and we dont want a few users spoiling the experience of the majority of users.
Although you're free to ask questions and clarify doubts, you're expected to research your questions (Try google. No really, just try it!) before asking basic questions. Expect that the developers will ignore basic queries. That's not the purpose of a development forum, it's of the Q & A forum. Most questions that you have on your mind have already been asked in the thread, and a targeted search will yield them. Most of the queries have also been compiled as a list of Frequently asked Questions (FAQ) on my site
Requesting some mods/features is fine, and constructive criticism is welcomed.
Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting THE Rom for our Desires (pun intended)..
SuperNova has an automated Error logging system. There is no point in asking for help regarding installation, unless you fill out the Reporting form available on the site from the link below. If you cant boot, you should also flash the Getlogs Tool and attach the generated zip file. Don't worry! It's very easy!
If you dont do these two things, dont post some incomplete information and expect help! You WILL be ignored! The questions you need to answer are on the link. Copy the questions, post in XDA with the answers, attach the .tar.gz file generated when Getlogs is flashed.
Preview of Form:
Copy the entire form from the site, fill it out as detailed as you can. In addition, if you get stuck during installation, you should let the phone hang for upto 20 mins. Then, pull the battery, and restart into Recovery mode. Without wiping anything, immediately flash the Getlogs tool. Once Getlogs is finished, log files will be produced in /sdcard/Data2SDlog.tar.gz. You should attach this file to a new post, along with the filled out form above and any additional details.
An additional log (OPTIONAL) extremely useful for finding out what went wrong is an adb logcat. If you would like to read about how to create one, see the following link:
Note that flashing the latest Typhon beta (available on my Box.net account here) means you dont have to worry about creating manual adb logs. The highly intelligent script will do that, you lazy flash-maniacs (Sibere's expression )
Remember!! SuperNova Rom is provided free for you. The developers have spent a tremendous amount of time working on this project. So dont expect that posting a help request/flashing the Rom/corrupting anything on your device in any way requires the developers or volunteer users to help you out. If your post is sufficiently detailed, and if one of the developers is free at the time, and is willing to help you out, he may (or may not). If your question is unanswered dont repost it, as it just irritates us and makes us want to ignore you! Wait patiently till your request is answered.

Nope. Don't want any of that. I only tried Starburst and Supernova because they promised stability. Don't care about anything else.

Wow, amazing a little hesitation now and again when swiping left / right and opening contacts but otherwise magnificent. Quadrant score of 1406 (if that means anything)
