HTC Desire HD (Ace)

Just a heads up to people about this rom, the MIUI:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970196

I just tried it and really like it. It's a complete overhaul of the phone. It does make it a little more like an iPhone (:o) but overall it seems to be a tweaked non-sense version of the stock rom, with a completely different ui. It might be worth trying.

Bad points
  • battery life is utter joke
  • Creeky and awkward bottom cover
  • Battery cover feels flimsy
  • Horrendus loud speaker
  • Camera was not that good for 8MP
  • Not very good at light metering
  • Proximity sensor randomly stops working
  • Always had a bad signal with HTC phones
  • Washed out blacks due to LCD screen, poor viewing angles

Re: some of your bad points. I think you're right about the camera and the proximity sensor. For the battery life, getting a custom rom, and messing the phone around a bit, I've managed to get it into a position where with light use, I have to charge it every 3-4 days and with normal use every 2 days, which I think is actually quite good :)

There's a fix for the loudspeaker, a patch to make it less tinny and better quality, I'll post the patch if I remember it. I personally get pretty good signal, but orange's 3g coverage is woeful :(

Re the battery and sim covers: I hardly (if ever) use them, and I imagine it's the same for a lot of users so I can't see it being too big an issue. I personally think it's a great phone and much prefer it to my friend's nexus.

I'm on Three and getting the terrible wi-fi dropout. Never did this before. It will be ages before they pass the release on if at all they do.

Might be time to root. I have been educating myself but I still have not got my head around what to do if I have to return back due to repair. Is there a standard Three ROM available out there to put the phone back to standard?

Do you have a branded or non branded phone?
 
Has anyone tried any of the below custom roms with sense 3.0 on the Desire HD and if so, how did you find it?

Virtuous Unity
RCMix3D Evolutionary Sense
Rs Sensation
BeatMod FlyerSense HD
Virtuous DoubleShot
BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA
True Sense i00 Rom

I'm currently using HD Revolution which is a snappy ROM but would not mind trying the 3.0 ones out either. Would be good to know any views :)
 
Switched from revolution HD to True Sense i00 rom a few weeks a go and it is the best rom i've used.
Haven't noticed any problems and it seems so much faster / smoother.

I'm using LeeDroid with some of the sense 3.0 elements and I cannot for the life of me get some of the sense widgets to work :(

I have never done anything to do with rom's but when I get my HD back I'm going to try this. I don't suppose it's as easy as JB'ing an iPhone is it?
 
^^^^ It's not too difficult, there are some assumptions made on the guides about being able to use command prompt and things properly, but I managed to get there in the end. You just have to properly read the guides and threads that are about on xda.

I'm on Revolution HD, after a brief fling with leeroid which I found a bit laggy and unstable, plus I found sense 3.0 a fairly pointless upgrade after the initial 'oooh pretty'.
 
Hmm, I really love the non-sense roms - cyanogenmod and miui, but I really love sense as well. Dilemma :(

LeeDroid is amazing, but not quite smooth enough. Android Revolution is smoother but for me not as 'complete' as LeeDroid. Coredroid was awesome, I might have to try it again.

I tried true sense i00 and I might go back to it, didn't have enough time to try it.

Anyone can recommend a rom with these three things?:

Good battery
Smooth
Good signal.

Also what schedulars are people using? I'm using BFS.
 
Guys is there a setting that when my phone is in standby and I receive a text that my phones screen lights up so I can see who text quickly?
 
Does anyone have a problem when messaging contacts that there are about 4 entree for each person? Apparently the 'text' phonebook looks at google, facebook, sim, etc etc, is there anyway to solve this and just have the view to the phone memory?

I've googled it and never found a fix just lots of annoyed HTC users!
 
After i imported all my contacts I got a little annoyed as i thought i was going to be stuck with the same problem, 15 minutes later it suggested linked contacts. Hit OK and bam, they were all correctly joined into 1 contact for each person :) Not sure how to force it though, it did go through a phase of repeatedly asking to match the same contacts, but it's given up doing that for now...
