So i was thinking the other night (i don't do that often :D), why don't we simply port the latest official gingerbread with 2.3 with htc sense 3.0 for the bravo/desire? It is found at developer.htc.com. Because it is made to fit the 250 mb system from desire, we could also fit it, even if it gets bigger (300-330mb) because we have blackrose. We should be able to run it at equal speed right. We already have a good gingerbread sense kernel (thanks dbasabe). Who is wanting to port this?

I fail to see the need of porting an old firmware. Today, most people are focusing on ICS and MIUI. Sense 3.5 isn't really officially on many devices, and future HTC phones will most certainly have ICS mixed with HTC Sense 3.5.

Maybe that's what one could focus on instead?

Android 2.3.X + Sense 3.5 = lagging beyond usability...

Imagine android 4.X.X with sense X.X .....

Lagging beyond usability? What have you been smoking? :p

When I ran Sebastiaan15's Runny AIO (ported by dbasabe), I didn't notice any lag that would prevent me from using it. The speed is determined by the class of your sd-card if the ROM installes partially to an ext partition.

Class 6 or better is generally recommended.

Class 8 8GB Sandisk sdhc here... Try turning on livewallpapers, add some widgets, multitask and it will crash and reboot....

I never use live wallpapers in any ROM as it's such a battery hog. I did add widgets but I didn't notice any performance slowdowns. To this date, I haven't ever had the need of multitasking.

Hmmm, you buy a expensive smartphone that is more powerfull than my desktop pc, AND YOU DON'T MULTITASK?! You should have bought a flip phone instead :D:p

There is.... developer.htc.com -> login -> downloads -> last page -> Desire gingerbread 2.3 upgrade. BOOM
Desire Gingerbread 2.3 upgrade with Sense 1.9, which is just about the same as Sense 2.1, more like the original Desire Sense, far from Sense 3.0. Go read Desire forums, if you don't believe and don't have a Desire to check it on. No news.

My friend has htc desire. I asked him he said sense 3.0 using the ruu.exe... Probably a custom rom then
