has the desire been rooted by now? otherwise that would be a real dealbreaker for me... i'd keep my hero at least until the desire is rooted.

THAT is what we like to hear =P
I want the evo3D Sense ! I love the unlocking screen of that
GREAT news! indeed ! hope there are no more delays!
This is really great news hope everyone to get the update at the same time not like 1.84 update....some dhd owners got it some of us didn't.
Not going out to gingebread in late March??
About time, was wondering when this would come out.
And let's hope there are no major flaws in the update Else would that be a bummer...
+1 for hoping it includes the new sense unlock screen!
So, what are you think, is it be better or worse than CM7?

Cyanogen users have had gingerbread since January, with cm 7. Wouldn't bet against us having over cream before gingerbread roll out is complete

may i ask ! My htc desire hd was hack root...
I already back up the original room...
If in april , offical 2.3 release ... How can't i update it ??
I'm from viet nam ?
I hope they release the Kernel src code of the new update soon. We then will have custom kernels that can do some O/C // Undervolt
Gingerbread
I'm happy to see this is going so "well" with HTC, if I think about my friend's Samsung who just got 2.2.1 about 2 weeks ago *g*

goodbye and thanks for all the fish

after a 2 year contract with my htc magic i have finally upgraded too a desire s, but before i leave to join the folks over at the desire s forum i would just like to say a big thanks to all the modders, hackers and devs who have kept my phone updated and still exciting to use after 2 years, hope to see some of you over there.

Exact date of official UPDATE to ICS

I ask from htc and give a exact answer!
please see the attach picture!!
By end of year, so it could be april to December?
Geeeez
Sent from my HTC Desire HD
This makes sense,because all big updates had been around november / december for desire hd. Unfortunately. So rooting and flashing custom roms is only alternative...
Sent from my Smartphone.
By that time I wonder most DHD users have switched to new device having ICS preinstalled. Anyway DHD can get ICS update is a bonus of this 2 years old device. ICS is a little bit too slow to push out. Most software developers have still need more time to release software compatible to ICS.

HTC Desire HD to get the taste of ICS with HTC Sense 3.6. The rollout will begin in the last week of May 2012 starting with Europe.
Last year the passing from froyo to ginger was made in may too.

Said some one in the post! Nice!
there will be small update to ics to fix or add something but that will be the last update to this heroic device! right!
If HTC is feeling charitable we might see a full sense 4.0 ROM

This guy said last year that the desire hd will recive sense 3.5 instead of 3.0 in the 2.3.5 update...(https://plus.google.com/105502178297258827378/posts/223xUJRxuLr)
I don't think we will see the update until the end of the year, although i hope I'm wrong.
is it only me or does it seem like the picture is photo edited?
you can never trust anything these days
Don't think the pic is edited.
Anyway, time will tell if he is right or not.
I hope we'll get the update asap, but htc doesn't consider it a priority.

Don't worry about that, the internet is a huge vortex of fake celebrity nude pictures, so at least one person is going to having suspicion about the authenticity of your screenshot. I don't think he meant any offence. Now, back on topic. I'm really looking forward to this update, hopefully it will include the new, 40% faster, adreno drives. The lack of developers have come as a shock to he DHD community over the last few days, due to everyone migrating to the HTC 1x. I will start developing for our humble device when this is released. It makes all of our lives easier, I wont have to worry about the camera bug and everything will be working smoothly. I think the wait is worth it guys and gals, just remember, patients is a virtue.

The thing is really interesting...and sad!
In example: i was a galaxy s (sold because i LOVE sense) user and the developers activity around a device older than desire hd was/is totally different: is like if the interest around that device will never die.
I know i'm a bit off topic, but i like to understand this.
Why, by you DHD users, we are left alone by developers?
There is an huge escape from desire hd due to which reason??
I hope the update will include a 2000 mAh battery for DHD

HTC One Google Edition coming (stock android)

From Llabtoofer, our HTC source
https://twitter.com/LlabTooFeR/status/335483940011909121
Sounds fabdabulous! Hope it happens and I hope it's easy to put the AOSP rom on the Sense bearing handsets.

I wish, but not getting my hopes up. If it does happen, hopefully its before I jump ship to the S4 for stock.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
It isnt any leak he has he is just speculating.
There are absolutely no plans for an HTC One Google Edition (IOW an official HTC One with vanilla Android). This rumor started with the HTC developer advocate who used a poor choice of words.
What she meant is that there will be an update for the One with a much more minimal Sense experience that should appeal more to those who like a vanilla experience.
ummmmmmm..

I saw that. I still have my doubts. HTC is a bit more closed than samsung and sony. I'm not saying its bad, i love the phone, but its the truth. Samsung is becoming more closed though. Sony is awesome with AOSP
And hey, if they do, then all the better
Alright, so basically the evidence behind this rumor is one guy while HTC itself full out denies it. This is pretty much full-on tinfoil, or, at best, boiled leather.

Yes. I'm almost positive HTC won't come out with a device like this.
Remember the multiple Nexus partnership from last year..... Yeah.
I don't doubt it one bit.
My question though...... Will it be called the Nexus One. (*Rimshot)

If we get a HTC one Google experience rom I for one will not be installing it, the aosp camera is horrid, why would I give up the brilliant one I have now? Sense isn't bad at all.
I think next version of Sense with 4.2.2 or 4.3? will be awesome and very close to AOSP/Stock Google ROMs. Coming from two Nexus devices I really enjoy Sense 5!

Paul O'Brown, arguably one of the most reputable people in the community, claimed that the AT&T One would not be unlockable on HTC Dev, but as of right now everybody who has tried it has unlocked their bootlaoder that way. Just because they've been here a while doeant mean that they don't mistakes.

I know exactly who he is. Been a member of Modaco since the OG nexus. Do any of those titles give him any insider HTC info? No, maybe that's why he was wrong about the bootloader. Or maybe he just listened to jcase . Either way, I do respect paul as one of the best around. I also know that football, who tweeted the One statement that has us in this discussion, probably has more HTC inside info than any other dev at XDA.
Yup we'll have to wait and see. Friendly wager? a days thanks! If we get a vanilla ONE, you owe me a days worth of thanks, if it doesn't come, i owe you a days thanks.:victory:
