footballmad909 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I have a couple of questions for you guys, Will I receive the OTA of Froyo (Switzerland) if I've rooted? I've manually checked for updates and it finds one (I forget which but it's not 2.2 just some minor thing) and it doesn't install, therefore it left me wondering is not having this minor update or is it the fact I've rooted that stops me etting Froyo? Can anyone recommend a bike mount for the Desire, preferably waterproof? Thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/893008-htc-desire/page/26/#findComment-593013616 Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballmad909 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 You cannot update at all OTA if rooted. Does that mean I can update by downloading the official Froyo ROM myself? If so any idea where I can get it? If not any has anyone unrooted their Desire successfully?

TheElite Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yes, you can update with the ROM yourself. It's probably better than trying to unroot, as you have to flash a generic ROM to get rid of the root anyway.

footballmad909 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Yes, you can update with the ROM yourself. Are you sure this is possible? I can't find a link for the official ROM anywhere.

Singh400 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Are you sure this is possible? I can't find a link for the official ROM anywhere.There isn't a RUU package for 2.2 yet. You would have to down flash to an official 2.1 RUU (links) and then invoke the OTA manually to get 2.2.

TheElite Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 If I'm honest, I wouldn't put the official one on. The custom Froyo one's are better in my opinion. Even those that are very closely based on the official Froyo build.

Even those that are very closely based on the official Froyo build. Depends on what kind of user the owner is. I know at least eight people with Android phones, and I'm the only one who had rooted and flashed a custom ROM. Stock 2.2 isn't that bad at all. I'm planning to move over to LeeDroid ROM sometime during the weekend.

TheElite Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 From what I've seen, the Apps2SD feature in official Froyo is inferior to that found in custom made ROM's.

I will surely try other ROMs and I've heard too that the apps2sd on Froyo isn't great and that was the reason I first rooted but I wanted to try the official ROM anyway.

red. Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I like to keep my phone on vibrate but quite often it switches back to normal on it's own. Does anyone else have this happening?

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 24, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted August 24, 2010 Mine should arrive today or tomorrow, couldn't be bothered waiting it out for the HD model and I've got a good deal. Actually so excited to click uninstall on iTunes and rid my PC of all it's junk... that and getting rid of the absolutely crippled 3G since iOS4.

Actually so excited to click uninstall on iTunes and rid my PC of all it's junk... that and getting rid of the absolutely crippled 3G since iOS4. Enjoy it :) Would advise on getting it rooted and putting 2.2 on it as well, pretty painless task and well worth it for the full flash, install to SD and 720p video recording.

I looked into rooting, but it apparently seemed pretty tricky for 2.2? Any noob guides? I'd rather much like to run the Vanilla OS, I cba with custom roms.

Robbie Khan Reviews Posted August 24, 2010 Reviews Share Posted August 24, 2010 Widgets and customising the options so doing the latter can take a while as you choose what colours etc you want stuff to be. The icons/dock bg etc are custom and they took a bit of photoshopping yeah but it's well worth it :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/893008-htc-desire/page/26/#findComment-593068830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 24, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted August 24, 2010 Well right now the main reason I want to root it is simply so I can use AdFree :p I'll maybe get into custom themes/etc later on, right now the widgets and default level of customization look fine to me (Y) Absolutely blows iOS out of the water, which I've been using for nearly 2 years.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 24, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted August 24, 2010 Anyone use OpenDesire? It looks like it doesn't stray far from the official 2.2 update and only adds a little :) The MoDaCo rom looks good as well.
