Ice Cream Sandwich on HTC Desire

[Devious]

Has anyone done this yet?

I'm toying with the idea of Rooting my HTC and shocking the ICS Firmware to it.
Has anyone done a firmware upgrade on a Droid that wasn't "official release"?

Yeah its dead easy. Lots of guides on the xda-developers forums.

This is a new area to me, I don't wanna cock it up.
Have you got any good links Chris?

Best way for a Desire. This will root your phone and allow you to install "Clockwork" Recovery which is a third party boot loader which in turn allows you to flash custom ROM's.

Thank you, I'm a total novice with this sort of thing but I know it can be done and ICS on a Desire seems like a cool thing to have.

So am I. But with a little advice and XDA, I've been through 3 different roms on my p500 in the last few day. Currently on ICS 4.0.4

Thats wierd, was just about to start a thread about this!
Ive got a desire HD and ive been toying with rooting it for ages now but never got round to buying a new USB cable. Might have a go at it this afternoon

Anyone know where I can get a Micro usb sync cable from?

eBay would probably be the cheapest online place.

I've got ICS on my Desire HD, all the ROMS I have tried for it aren't hugely stable, stable enough for day to day use but most of them have occasional lag, although I find that with almost every custom ROM I have tried on my phone for the past 2 years.... The most stable I have found is MIUI but then your phone has to look like an iPhone....

I gave up on the ics rom it was laggy and buggy after running a few days. Back to 2.3.7 and faster than it's ever been. Got 67 fps in Neocore which ain't too bad for a phone with a 600mhz cpu.

Mines running at 1.8Ghz Still laggy as, just don't think ICS is designed for anything old, until proper kernel are released from manufacturers new ROMs are always buggy.

No excuse for lag at 1.8ghz.

The kernel is written so poorly that its slow all the way up to 2Ghz (not to mention unstable). Never mind my contract is up soon, time to get me a nice dual core.

1.8ghz from a desire HD? Overclocking?

My contracts up in september so Im gonna invest in something with some serious power. Suspected the Iphone5 is gonna be running quad core at about 2ghz. But its an iphone.
