Will there be an Official Gingerbread RUU for Desire in future for unrooted phones?
Probably. HTC has stated that Desire will get GB in 2011q2, also confirmed by some carriers like 3 UK.

any chance of pointing me in teh direction of said RUU?
Cheers
No RUU available, only leaked test ROM - try Leedroid 3.0.7 0 that's based on it.
Try RcmixS 2.0. Its GB Sense 2.1+3.0 from Sensation Rom
But there´s no GB RUU for Desire yet.
HTC Desire [UPDATED 6/14/11]: After promising an Android 2.3 upgrade for its HTC Desire handset, HTC said in mid-June that it had determined the phone would not be able to handle the Gingerbread software along with its integrated Sense UI. In a statement posted to Facebook, HTC said it's "been forced to accept there isn’t enough memory to allow [it] both to bring Gingerbread and keep the HTC Sense experience on the HTC Desire." HTC went on to say it was "sincerely sorry for the disappointment." British carrier Three had previously indicated the software would be ready to roll out to the Desire by the end of May. The carrier later said HTC hadn't "been able to meet the late May timings that were set."

Short translation: HTC said, "if you want to have Gingerbread Sense, buy our new product lines for example Sensation!"

HTC Nederlands announced that you have to use a custom ROM when you will have Sense and Gingerbread
And another phone is stuck in an old android version because of the manufacturer interface. I love Sense but the simplest solution could be:
- the ROM contains only android
- an extra app which install the interface
but then the interface is now longer an argument to but a device from this manufacturer because you can then install it everywhere. Then only the hardware counts...

1.
I know I am running InsertCoin 1.0.8 CM7 and have not used any original RUU since a long time but not providing the official ROM and relying fully to custom ROMs is wrong.
Not everyone can/wanna root their devices because they are afraid to loose the warranty by doing so or simply because they do not have enough basic knowledge to do it.
Not all Desire owners are all computer freaks like most of the people here in the forum (including me), some are simply complete illiterate about computer.
Even, I have thought about loosing the warranty over, over and over until I decided to root my Desire and to flash a custom ROM before I got the flashing addiction.
2.
Not supporting old devices with updates is acceptable but Desire is not that old. The device has to be older than 2 years before stopping any update.
Stop, htc never say, that they stop the support or never an update for the desire will come.
Only, an upgrade(!) to gingerbread is not possible.
Looks like they've retracted the statement and the HTC will be getting Gingerbread, with Sense though?
techmagister.com/2011/06/15/desire-will-get-gingerbread-htc-uk-changed-their-words-again
I think what they'll do is keep the old version of sense. I would not be willing to give up any more space on my desire, it has barely enough room for all the apps I want, so they won't update sense.

Assuming we have root access by then (I really hope we do) will you be waiting for HTC to release the Sense version of it or are you going to upgrade to stock Android in the meantime?
pure
after having experienced android being, modded by htc and then buggered by orange, i'm hoping we can root the desire as i'd like to go straight to a pure android o/s

same here i hate what orange has done to the rom it descusts me since this is my first branded handset for about 5 years now and i am used to the generic version got very good and the flashing process on winmo now stuck on android v.confusing.
Don't hold your breath Read this:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...s-in-may-require-froyo-we-have-sign-up-links/
If this is true ... FroYo (the next Android OS build iteration) will be next month together with Flash 10.1.
Then we can pray every night to have root access + write permission to the system partition !
I really hope we do have root access. Not having proper flash is really bugging me.
Either we get root or HTC Have a sense version very quick after the FroYo release.
Doesn't the HTC Evo 4g have froyo? Would be ported over.

The 2.1 update for the Hero still hasn't been released despite 2.1 having been released a good while ago.
But then again, the EVO 4G and the Desire have the exact same level of processing power so I don't see why HTC would delay the update in any way.
Let's hope HTC don't let us down.
whats the problem with the Flash thats on the desire? I have not had any non-loading flash sites at all yet

It gets bogged down by heavy sites. I want flash to work just aswell as it does on my desktop.
New flash version will most probably have hardware acceleration, and all the functions flash 10.1 has on the desktop.
And -hopefully- it will be a fully optimized version of Flash. So it's actually doable on a mobile device. But I guess that is the only way for it to be succesful.
And just to be prepared, I'm programming all my new flash applications to be able to run on mobile devices (min resolution of 800x480). I'm going openscreen project, multiplatform, multi os, multi mobile devices!
If the rumors about the change in how the OS will update then I cannot see too much trouble sorting out Sense for it as it will only be compatibility checks with the core components and allow for any new core features.
Plus going by @gogol's post there will be a lot of pressure on HTC to release Sense quick smart for it with full Flash support. For all we know HTC may already be working on it just because we don't know whats coming with Froyo doesn't mean the companies haven't got a pre-release ROM

They more than likely do as they are releasing the EVO 4G with FroYo in about 2-3 weeks.
I'm guessing that Android 2.2 will be released within the next 2 - 2 1/2 weeks and that HTC will either release the Sense version of 2.2 at the same time or at the very very latest at the same time as the EVO.
Forgive my ignorance but will htc upgrade the android os on the desire to froyo when it is released or are we stuck with eclair unless we root the device?
Hi,
I've had my desire for a few weeks now and am loving it. Only problem is that when Google release an update, it takes HTC and then the mobile operators forever to release the update.
Is there a way to do the following:
- install a default android 2.2 ROM; so when an update is issued by Google I can get it...Ive heard the desire is the same as the Nexus one, so can I use the same generic nexus rom?
- install a generic htc rom so that when HTC update their software, i dont have to wait for the my operator to do so.
If i install the nexus rom, can i revert it back to the HTC rom later?
What do you guys recommend?
thanks in advance.
Word of advise for a new poster.
Use the Search button and or look through the threads before you post.
Trust me, it will keep you alive!
No you can not, untill HTC releases there version with Sense
The speed difference between Android 2.2 and Android 2.1 is really hard to notice barr a few apps. It really isn't worth the tradeoff for now, Sense UI is far better than stock Android regardless.
i just seen that official GB ROM for DHD is released today , any idea on when to get for bravo ?
There's a leaked one available so hopefully it won't be much longer now
I think there is a few already.
Well it mihgt be safe to assume that HTC is delivering the GB updates to the Desire family according to their release date,but descending.
Desire S got it first,then DHD,next is DZ and then US chaps at least that's what i think.
But i too hope it's soon
I have spoken to HTC Turkey support after i post here , what he said was they are already working on the language option for Turkish and will be available in less than a month ; assume should be much sooner in Europe , maybe days ?
i have read about some improvements on GB ROM but still couldn't be sure if we will face internal memory problems with it. I have been using Starburst Lite since 2 months with an ext4 partitioned memory card. It works fine but my priority is always original ones.
The question is : Will official GB ROM support something like data2SD or A2SD or do we have to use again custom GB ROMs like Starburst?
Any idea?
bigger question is if the new GB Update be sense 2.1?

I'd say probably not - although StarBurst (and SuperNova if I recall right) is an almost stock HTC FroYo (and HTC Gingerbread) ROM with Data2SD ability.
So if you wait a little while I'm sure the ROMs will be updated to the official version and then you can go with that ROM instead of the official HTC release

Someone posted an answer to this question from HTC where it was stated that it won't. Something connected to the hardware but most people agreed that reasons are more closely connected to marketing. There are a bunch of phones coming out with similar hardware specs as desire but they have Sense 2.1.

why don't you use insertcoin
Desire gb
Using robocik's RC Mix S. It's working very good and it's very fast and stable (for the 4 hours i have been been using it)
I have my wife's Wildfire S s-offed, rooted and uploaded the shipped european ROM.
Will be an OTA update available for this phone, or we won't get it because of the s-off?
I don't think there will be any OTA updates for Wildfire S, I am open to correction though....
HTC's customer service suggested me to check for updates in the settings menu. Of course I've already tried that without success.

Ko_Ka, and how would a possible update to Gingerbread 2.3.5 come to our phones if not OTA? I'm not expecting HTC to tell customers to use RUU's...
Also there is still the possibility that ICS will hit the WFS. For now HTC announced the 1st wave of phones getting the upgrade but like they say (and I quote) "We're continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich.". This came from HTC Facebook page.
The Wildfire S wasn't released that long ago and should be perfectly capable of running Ice Cream Sandwich...

Well before HTC updates the old devices, they need to release a device with ICS first. That way it gets people to buy that device rather tahn just keeping the ones the have now.
Meh dont we get optimizations when they do this? Thats what I would assume, they dont just spend time engineering and deving for these old devices if they arent changing some things... but devs that actually port it, if they say its no dif, then good waste on htc's part (idk why they would do this)...like you say, they would want people buying new HW, so they limit how many phones can 'officially' get it.
IMHO, I am grateful for these updates, I really cannot see how this is identical to the dhd, wasnt the vivo roms very speedy with our phones? Im almost certain I remember them very good...maybe a test rom with the few essentials working? Anyway, thanks for posting link
