    The dialer aint as good as HTC. Pressing the keys does not predict the contact name.

    Dialer One is the closest i've found to the HTC dialer

    I installed the latest stable Cyanogenmod for HTC Desire (6.something) and found it didn't have Google Apps installed.

    I attempted flashing the Google Apps .zip file recommended on the Cyanogen Wiki (the HDPI one), but even though Gmail installed, the Marketplace app didn't for some reason.

    Anyone else getting this?

    Ah, never mind, I found the solution - just open the gapps .zip file on your SD card, go into system>app and select "Vending.apk" and uninstall and reinstall that (repeat until it takes, apparently it's just temperamental).

    For those missing the sense Dialler, just press search when on the Dialler and you get the same effect.

    Been using this for a few weeks and glad I changed. Ginger villain (now at 1.1)

    i imagine you would, at best, be unable to apply it and, at worst, brick your phone.
    afaik, the only way to get 2.3 on desire (at present) is via a custom ROM.

    I've been using Cyanogenmod 7 (nightly build from last week) for a week now,
    and am really happy with battery life. I was coming from an Oxygen 1.0.4 froyo
    which I found very unstable once the battery got anyway low.

    Best thing about the gingerbread upgrade for me is that for the first time since I got my Desire a year ago, Youtube videos are finally in sync with the sound! I had just given up on it after asking a few questions - some people said they never experienced it, but I've always suspected they just didn't notice it as much ;-) Seems to have been a common problem.
