[Q] Gingerbread Sense Development?

[mikeandjaimie]

I know this has been asked in the past and the answer was no since HTC hadn't released any 2.3 based updates.. but now there has been one outside of N.America, I was curious to know if anyone had taken up the cause for our phone? I know somethings would be missing for our device, but couldn't they be adopted/edited from the HD or froyo Sense Like previous ROMs?

The answer still would be no.

I was hoping for a more defined answer.. possibly with a little explanation?

We see Roms ported from other devices constantly.. hell that's where half the Roms start.. as a port from another phone.. HD Sense (or new sense depending on Rom) is a port from another phone.. and iirc the phone that got the 2.3 sense was a foreign version of the HTC HD2 which would make it even easier wouldn't it

Devs only port roms if there is a massive cry out for them. Also, I more or less read the whole thread and it seems that devs are having trouble with porting it. HD2 is WM 6.5 so it already is completely different. I don't know. Ask a dev why. Just wait till q2 when Desire gets official update.

Sense would have to be re-written to work with 2.3 and it's far too much of a ballache, it's not as simple as taking 2.3 and putting Sense from 2.2 on top of it. Better to wait on the Desire S ROMs to leak and just port it to the Desire

I think you guys are understanding this wrong... THERE IS a gingerbread official release with Sense according to the XDA news story.There is even a full dump of it in that thread.. I was asking if anyone had looked into building a desire Rom based on it.

When you say there should be an update in the next 2-3 days, there is no way HTC will release Gingerbread with Sense 2.3 to the HTC Desire, HD and Z before the Desire S is released in the UK. And after that it will still be some time to let the exclusive features of the new Incredible, Desire S and Wildfire S to take off? Otherwise what would be the point in the new phones, everyone would just wait for a software update right? Personally i'm still running a branded Orange Froyo ROM, the second an official build of Gingerbread with Sense 2.3 is released i'll de-brand and jump on that.
