HTC Desire ROM on G1? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My friend just showed me his new HTC Desire rom and it's using the Sense UI w/multi touch which look really awesome o_o'. Does anyone know if the G1 will get a port for the desire like the N1 or are we stuck with firmware 1.5/2.0/2.1? Since it's just the N1 with a Hero rom

HELL NO. Use common sense. The Desire has a 1 ghz processor compared to 528 mhz on g1/mt3g. It has 573 mb of RAM compared to 192 mb of RAM.
If we can put a laggy Hero ROM on your phones how do we get a freaking Desire ROM? Just do yourself a favor and buy a new phone.
Just wait until Hero gets sense UI 2.1 and for someone to port it (if anyone has the lame g1/mt3g or even cares about it. Did you see how new ROMs are barely coming out now since the top devs got the nexus one! I can't wait until my contracts run out so I can get a new android phone)

The hero roms I've ran weren't very laggy compared to stock OS '

i wish, but it would be really hard for some one to format it to the g1 because the desire's screen it bigger

But Rosie isnt scalable like the vanilla android and most apps are now, we gotta wait till hero gets it.

How about a HTC Legend ROM (if available)?

I'd have to agree with this. It's analogous to installing Windows Vista on a 200 MHz Pentium-II processor. Can it be done? Sure. Will it be usable? Unlikely.

big words make brain hurt -.- lol
but seriously though you never know, the devs might find a way to make it usable.
when there's a will, there's a way.

It will be too slow and stuff like that. Screen size issues and we got to optimize the hell out of it just to make it lag decent.
Plus it is too big to fit on the system partition of the g1 even with the death spl.

well i hope a dev like KING can port for the g1 - i know he can, the guy is a beast, just give it some time

HTC Sense for HTC Magic...

Hi all,
i saw this in Engadet and wondering if this HTC Sense for Magic is able to change to G1 coz as far as i know, Magic and G1 are practically the same except for the cpu.....
they share the same bluetooth hardware and LEDs.....
download rom from here
http://translate.googleusercontent....le.com&usg=ALkJrhhVs6ZZtvFgE2IsVL-d7-3pnfURYA
if the mod thinks that this post should not be here, u r free to delete it, thanks ^^
There are at least 2 HTC sense roms out that are ported from the magic .

more like they're practically diff EXCEPT for the CPU, BT hardware and LEDs
EDIT: not BT hardware... got confused with OP
Guys, it was released for the Magic 32A board. . . Magic also has 32B boards (which are the ones similar to the G1).
but im sure that there is a way to fix it.....
Doesn't share bluetooth. The maddening lack of a complete Sense UI continues indefinately...

There is. . . buy a Hero or a Magic 32A. The Hero on the G1 has always been slightly bugged, no matter how good it seems to run at first load. It all comes down to the G1 having 30+% less ram than the other devices. Apps2SD additionally seem to slow things down (which would explain the difference with how it runs between a G1 with 256 megs of ROM and a Magic 32B with 512 megs of ROM). To put it simple, unless somebody became the all powerful god of optimization and compression, it'll never run 100% flawless with 100% of the speed it should have. Hell, on devices it's meant for it still has the occasional challenges.
And ps to any mods out there, could we get this moved to the Q&A section?

Yawn... Sense 2.1 will be out soon enough. Why waste time with a Donut build?
yeah about that 2.1, you reckon it'll have those all-too-long-awaited-for video drivers?
I mean it's comming out for the hero, question is will it be portable to mt3g\g1.
Sense 2.x on G1's and Magic's will always lack something. For me, it lacks speed. That's why I wanna buy a HTC Hero because I will have Sense and a fast speed and I can go to 2.1 Android which will also be fast.

QVGA 2.1 Sense coming soon.

Just thought you guys would like this. I know I would have when I was using my vogue. The htc wildfire is a qvga phone with sense running on android 2.1. Would be a nice rom to port over and since it's basically a qvga hero running the same processor it shouldn't be that hard.

Legend gets 2.2 FroYo - whats this mean for us Hero users?

I saw an article that the Legend has received the 2.2 FroYo. Whats this mean for us Hero users? Im not a dev by any means but I imagine we're so much closer to a full on 2.2, sense and all...again, Im not a dev and really dont know much about cooking, roms that is, but this seems good.

Yeah but the gratia is more different than the Hero. The legend is basically a remade Hero with a 600mhz processor in it. This will definitely mean something
Also this helps bridge the gap closer to our own fully functioning 2.2w/sense rom. If this rom helps us fix bluetooth, gps, and camera issues, it's all downhill from there, and we will finally have our own 2.2

without googling, pretty sure the gsm hero has it... i could be wrong. kinda hope i am. i love the legend. id take a cdma legend and be happy until cdma2 or whatever...a very long time.

Because Sprint doesn't care about supporting the Hero anymore. They want you to upgrade to a newer phone/lock yourself into another 2 year.

[Q] Idea for a sense rom...

So i was thinking the other night (i don't do that often ), 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?
There is no Sense 3.0 for Bravo. Only Sense 1.9, AFAIK.

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?

Lagging beyond usability? What have you been smoking?
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.
