Breaking: Android 2.2 Froyo Has Been Successfully Ported To HTC Desire (Updated)

on 28 May at 12:43 pm

It’s not been too long since Google announced Android 2.2 a.k.a Froyo and we are already seeing it ported to various Android gadgets. First we saw the official Froyo release for the Nexus One then G1 and MyTouch 3G tasted the Froyo’s unofficial taste.

Now we have Froyo successfully ported to HTC desire. Most of the functionality is working fine including radio, wi-fi and GPS. Some things are yet to be fixed however. Like the camera which is having some memory leak issues so doesn’t work yet. Bluetooth is also not working properly for now. Previously, XDA guys were having some issues with the mic but the problem has now been solved.

Froyo is obviously blazingly fast on HTC Desire.

There’s a little left behind so it shouldn’t take a day or two at max to get fixed. If you are a Desire owner, it must be your happy moment. We’ll be back with an how-to guide as soon as XDA folks post it. Check back soon.

Update: Here comes HTC Desire on Froyo beating even Shadow. When checked on the same Quadrant Benchmark app on which Shadow was found, Desire scored 1332, just a few points behind Nexus One. That’s awesome!

    Bought a brand new Desire about a month ago as a business phone however am very disappointed , firstly i would have about 900 contacts on my previous XDA and was able to view by company or personal, not so on Desire only by personal which is of no use particularly with no search option either. Android 2.2 is supposed to have search facility however not different view option launch date seems to differ each time . Battery pretty good approx 18 hrs medium usage. Wireless bluetooth poor, paired with parrott car kit ok for day or so however won’t connect even by unpairing and pairing new, same problem with bluetooth headset……..any ideas

    That’s the same (ahmgsk) port Shawe so not all is working yet (check post 391):
    bluetooth is half way working -> similar to cm port
    wifi -> working great
    Camera -> worked only 1 time (clicked pic) then again stopped (serious memory leak issues)
    Gps -> locks (i mean it works)
