HTC Desire Tips, Tricks and Tweaks
Actually….Gingerbread IS Coming to the HTC Desire!
Yesterday I posted up an article on HTC’s statement saying that the HTC Desire will not be receiving an upgrade to Gingerbread. However, earlier today they changed their minds and have created a new post which says:
Contrary to what we said earlier, we are going to bring Gingerbread to HTC Desire
This is great news for everyone, all though of course they’ve not published any estimated release dates yet!
Thanks to reader WeeJockey for noticing this!

so I installed gingerbread on my old HTC Desire and was very happy with just how sprightly the phone is now. no real sense of whether it has better battery life or anything, but I did experience one problem:
Lithium Music Player ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.haramitare.lithiumplayer&feature=search_result )
Is one of many applications that I have purchased which the Android Market compatibilitty test now says is no longer compatible with my handset. It was installed under Froyo and no longer compatible under Gingerbread (despite the app being listed as compatible with Android 2.0 and up).
My recommendation, install Gingerbread, check the market for similar issues, and roll back to Froyo if you have a similar issue with incompatible applications

Hi
I have installed Gingerbread Official release in my HTC desire. Its awesome. Some times unexpected struck happens( very rare). But very good thing is ‘ Very Good Battery life compared to froyo ‘. With HTC Sense more optimised. by the way GPS works very well with this version

Yeah, well…I’m not holding my breath. Whenever it was that CM7 nightlies came to Desire, I’ve been on GB. So whether it comes or not (and when) – I don’t really care. The functionality the official update will have is going to be older anyway (probably still sense 1.0)
