for everyone here that is sick of waiting on USCC to deliver on the 2.2 froyo update... there is a very large community of developers out here that have fully functional versions of Eclair (2.1), Froyo (2.2), and as well as Gingerbread (2.3). fully working GINGERBREAD! thats right,USCC is still working on Froyo and we have a fully functional gingerbread! comon USCC! get on the ball!
installing these roms is easy and painless. if you can stay focused to the tutorials and explantions you will have no issues with your install.
PROS: no more waiting for USCC to give us the update, these roms run faster and cleaner than the stock ones, more custom things to access,apps store on SD card!!!!
CONS: only one Froyo 2.2 with Sense UI out there and thats all i can think of.
if you are tired of the wait game,jump over to XDA Devlopers website and look at all the roms for our HTC Desire's, keep this in mind, our phones are CDMA NOT GSM, installing a GSM rom on our phones can mess it up,USE ONLY CDMA ROMS!!
and heres some links..... i am personally using this gingerbread from ultimate driod and i think youll love it too
cyanogen is a fast and stable froyo found here LINK
XDA developers forums with all kinds of roms found HERE
What about warranty coverage?
if you are having problems with the software/rom you can revert it back to the stock USCC rom found HERE. I have has this phone since its release and have done multiple roms on it, i have never "broke" or "bricked" the phone nor has anyone else i have ever talked to. I have had to return one desire that i rooted and used a custom rom and all i did was revert the rom back to stock and USCC was more than happy to take it. If your really that worried about warranty coverage then this soultion is not for you. A large number of us are sick of waiting on USCC and this is what we use. if your still intrested in this,please read up with in the links i have provided before flashing a new rom then.
