HTC Desire :: Migrating From Nexus ONE To HTC Desire
Sep 7, 2010
I used to have nexus one, with Froyo 2.2. Unfortunately i dropped the phone one too many times and the LCD is cracked, hence i gotten myself a new HTC desire.
My questions:
1) how to i re install all my apps(previously installed on N1) to Desire. Besides trying to remember each app and manually installing them one by one
2) can i just use my old SD card (with music and Froyo, etc) from N1 and use it on desire? Or should i mirgate all data out, format using Desire and re use as a brand new card?

I've never owned a smartphone before and feel as if now is the time to get one as the buttons on my 2nd hand sony erricson c905 are starting to fall off.
I live in the uk and stuck between the HTC desire and Nexus One Froyo. From what I have read and learned, they are essentially the same phone, except nexus one receives the updates the quickest as it is the 'google experience' phone.
Right now im leaning more towards the nexus as it seems the froyo really does give the phone a stronger advantage. JIT, better interface etc... Am not that bothered about SenseUI and heard that froyo does make senseUI unnecessary in some areas. Despite rumors about the desire updating to froyo, majority of people are saying that it will be likely be autumn before the desire gets an update. So now that the froyo is picking up the interface and other substantial areas, what now gives the desire the edge over nexus?

I can't decide which phone to get, I'm currently between HTC Desire and Nexus one. I'm been reading reviews while doing some comparisons to try to decide on this.
When the phones were first released I remember reading that the two main difference was that the Desire would have Flash support but not the Nexus One and also of course Sense UI.
In 2.2/Froyo I believe that has been rectified and we can get Flash on the Nexus One as well, please do correct me if I am wrong.
As for Sense UI, I understand it's an Interface developed by HTC to place over Android. From what I have been reading, Android does not need Sense UI to run. So what makes Sense UI so special? What can it do and so on that the Nexus one cannot?
I'm essentially looking for whats the difference between the Desire and Nexus One.

Just noticed in this pic: http://www.softsailor.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/HTC-Desire-Silver-04.jpg
That the Desire seems to have dock connectors on the bottom like the N1. Anyone now anything about this for sure? Will it fit the N1 dock?

It's gorgeous, and a lot quicker than the sense gallery. http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/04/add-the-nexus-one-gallery-to-htc-desire/

There was a thread about this before, but the launcher was a bit slow and didn't include the little dots that allow you to switch between your homescreens, so heres a more complete one that does. The app tray animation is also smoother. Add Nexus One Launcher To HTC Android Phones

I've been looking around for ways to get the Nexus One ROM onto a HTC Desire handset, but all I can find is details for the opposite. I really just want rid of Sense, and to run with the native Android UI where possible. I like the Nexus One menu, but prefer the Desire hardware, like the buttons at the bottom, etc.

Which phone should I get? The HTC Desire or the Nexus One. As a UK user the HTC Desire would appear to be my best bet due to deals and availability but I need to know more before deciding. I heard the HTC Desire doesn't do the Speech To Text functionality because of the lack of Dual Mics. Is this true? If it is, is it such a deal breaker? The New Sense UI looks great, but at the sacrifice of regular OTA updates is it worth it? HTC seem to have added a bunch of features that appear really good.

I'm actually stuck and can't get myself take the decision:
Nexus One or HTC Desire.
They look pretty like the same in terms of hardware and both will certainly run android 2.2 by default.

I was just wondering whether the htc desire rom on the nexus one is stable enough to be usable because my friend is torn between sticking with the stock firmware or htc desire rom as he really likes htc sense, as do i.

I am a N97 User, and i'm looking forward to get an android phone. So far, I have made 2 choices: Nexus one, or Desire. Now I'm stuck between these 2 choices, I don't know wich to buy. They say Desire has nothing more than nexus one but flash support and Sense UI. Besides the flash support, I don't know what HTC Sense UI is. I have read Wikipedia articles but I didn't understand completly that what it does. Can someone explain me what it does to me (shortly)? Also, I think the Nexus One looks better than Desire.

I currently and have had since day one a Nexus One on tmobile , the issue is tmobile does not have 3G in my area and this is limiting what I can do with the phone as you can imagine. Another carrier (cdma for the most part , Cellular South) is coming out with the Desire and they're 3G coverage in my area is great.
I absolutely love the stock Android operating system and use the Wiimote app often , I hear it doesn't work with sense UI. Are there any other differences in the use between the Nexus and the Desire? How about swapping all of my information over? Will my lookout backup app be able to swap between the two, etc etc. Basically looking for an informed person to let me know what all will change/ be involved in the changeover and day to day use.

I want an NexusOne but it's a bit expensive in my country and I was thinking about the new HTC DESIRE. The specs are top notch and I can live with that tiny chin (I would prefer without it). The rest of the differences are ok except one: it's not a "google phone". The most annoying thing about galaxy was the lack of support and while latest android version reached 2.1, galaxy was still struggling with 1.5. I fear this will be the case with DESIRE too since it's not an official google phone (see hero case).
Perhaps being so similar in specs with nexus could make it easier for modders to port latest nexus rom to desire (I heard they already ported desire rom to nexus for the "sense" theme)? I really want what iphone fans have: instant upgrade to the latest (and greatest??) OS version (I hate iPhones btw).

Came across a deal on Ebay UK for an OEM Nexus One battery 1400mAH. Does it work on the Desire?
Btw, last week i have already ordered a non-oem battery+cradle charger off ebay. are non-oem batteries reliable?

if HTC Incredible/Nexus batteries are compatible with the Desire? I think i've seen some mention of people using Nexus batteries and as long as it's the standard capacity it should fit right? Whilst I doubt the capacity is as good as the official HTC ones you can get a charger and two 1400mah batteries on eBay for the price of a single Desire battery here..

I was read deep review about this phone on this address HTC Desire review from TechRadar UK's expert reviews of Mobile phones. On this address they used Google Nexus One Scene, it's look good. My question is simple, How to add this scene in my HTC Desire? what's a name of this scene? Can I get it from Android Market? I was tried to search on but I cant find it.

So there's the multitouch issue with the Nexus One and HTC Desire. Is there some documentation on what other devices have this hardware error and what the total market share is? If you had a game idea that needs massive multitouch gestures, would you go for it on Android or would it currently be a waste of time with only a few devices supporting it?

Just got back from my hols where I used my (stock) N1 camera a lot. Got some great pics but a few certainly highlighted just how important touch-to-focus is to me. Was quickly reading a review of the Desire and read it has touch-to-focus. Was just wondering if anyone who is actually running the modaco desire ROM on their N1 can confirm whether this works? I'd also be interested to know if I could just use the desire camera app on a rooted N1 with Cynanogen? I'm rather partial to the stock appearance and not massively inclined towards Sense UI.

When doing a Nandroid backup for the second time, does it override the first backup? If I backup after I root with default stock Android, then do another when installing a morph with the Desire ROM, are both kept or is the stock deleted and the Desire kept?

I got a Nexus 4 recently and I have retired my HTC Desire Z (G2).
Since I have a 32GB MicroSD card in my Desire Z I want to use it as a MP3 player in my car.
I have it plugged in via aux and power. I have installed tasker and created Profiles to start and stop music when I turn on/off my car.
So everything is great until I want to skip the song. Any way to control the music playing on my Desire Z from my Nexus 4?

Getting a Hero next month and from an initial search on the web their doesn't seem to be an easy way to port over calendar and contacts from my centro to the Hero. Looks like it can be done (I don't use outlook) but just wondered if there were any easy tools, e.g., Sprite, that work for the old Palm OS.

I want to switch app2sd methods. I want to switch from the DT-A2SD method to Link 2SD, but any info will probably apply to all ext-based methods (i.e., not the built-in Froyo method). I can't possibly be the only person who's ever contemplated it!
Am I going to have to disable DT-A2SD first (which will involve a LOT of backups/uninstalling / reinstalling)? Will the Link 2SD app detect the ext partition and its apks and just adapt accordingly. I'm running MIUI 1.11.4 on an Acer Liquid E.

So if the Desire Hd has the same screen resolution as the desire then the screen on the Desire Hd will look worse? And then would be a downgrade?

I'm considering selling my 5/6month old Desire to fund the purchase of a sim free HD.
Hopefully I'd only end up spending around 150-200 for it.
Is the jump up worth it? I'm a sucker for upgrade and I have to say the HD looks nicer than the Desire, but obviously it's what inside that count. Apparently.
One big thing is the whole htcsense.com thing, and with confirmation of the Desire getting support for that still quite unclear and apparently unlikely, I'm leaning towards getting the HD...

I've been having reception issues with Orange and they are sending me a new handset to see if that is the problem. If I drag all the data from the old SD card to my computer and then back over to the new SD card, will that keep all the setting form the HTC backup settings? Or do I have to point it in the right direction.

Sadly I didn't realise how bad Virgin are in my area, so I'll be cancelling my contract with them and moving back to o2...
Unfortunately this means I'll have to return the handset and get a new one from o2...
Does anyone know if there's a way of moving my apps or being able to download them again on the new handset?

Migrating to a new Gmail account without losing everything Android related? Like a few people I know, I made a Gmail account a few years ago before android was this big and (like the naive child I was) didn't make a very professional email address. Migrating to a new Gmail account I created. Copying contacts and mail is easy enough, but what about everything related to Android?
