]SK[ Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Saw someone with the black one that Orange sell. Prefer the normal colour to be honest. That white one looks nice though.

Subject Delta Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I've also just read somewhere that having an ext3 partition can slowdown 720p recording? Any truth to this? Usually even with Apps 2 SD, you still get about 2-2.5 MB/s on the FAT32 partition if you have a Class 6 card, more than fast enough As for all the other people asking about the speed of the card: It doesn't really matter for general usage, however if you use an Apps 2 SD hack (EXT3 partition) it is a lot better with a Class 6 card Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/893008-htc-desire/page/35/#findComment-593161588 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. You can, just use Unrevoked. As for the ROM, you are looking for something like this.

Subject Delta Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Paul from Modaco is working on optimising the Desire HD ROM so that it can fit on the Desire's internal memory without the need to install components on your Apps 2 SD Partition Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/893008-htc-desire/page/35/#findComment-593182074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Topham Hatt Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Excellent! Prices have dropped for the Desire and I hope will continue to do so as many people go for the DesireHD: 18 09 2010 - ?419 22 09 2010 - ?409 25 09 2010 - ?385 The further down it goes, the more value my contract will become in October. I may even look at getting it with a network as they will all be promoting the DesireHD, so may give me the phone for free on a ?15/month contract. But then the problem with this is it will have their branding all over it, I don't like that :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/893008-htc-desire/page/35/#findComment-593192036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajter Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I'm starting to get annoyed with OpenDesire. Seems there is some small annoyance / bug in every new build. Apps that stop responding, wifi that doesn't work or is too slow, etc. In short, I'm looking for a more stable experience. OD just changes around stuff too much. I do like the quite frequent feature updates with OD, so if possible I'd like a ROM that has this as well. Just needs to be as bug free as possible. Can anyone here recommend me anything?

DeFrost is a better ROM with regular updates and IMO a better OTA ap (DeFrost setup). I have used all the big name ROMs now and have always gone back to DeFrost.

andrew_f Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 What didn't you like about Leedroid? I've not used it, but I saw it uses Sense. That's enough for me not to use it. OpenDesire seems fine for me. You're right by saying there's occasionally bugs but the update cycle is quick enough and painless enough that I can look over it because the rest is so good. One thing I don't like is the cyanogen modifications such as music mod. Does anyone know if someone's maintaining a rooted nexus one rom that works with the Desire?

Robbie Khan Reviews Posted September 26, 2010 Reviews Share Posted September 26, 2010 What didn't you like about Leedroid? I'm not too keen on Sense and since I use Launcher Pro it means I have no need for it whatsoever and since you cannot shut it off completely a Sense-free ROM is the best way to free up internal memory. Plus LeeDroid bundles in apps that I don't want and I can't bothered to manually remove them each update via ADB. And then there's the lack of bluetooth support for Wiimotes and so on.

Singh400 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Plus LeeDroid bundles in apps that I don't want and I can't bothered to manually remove them each update via ADB.Those apps are all commonly used apps hence why they have been added. But you can easily remove them without having to use ADB. Use open the the ZIP file with WinRAR navigate to data/app and delete the APKs in there. Job done.

]SK[ Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I was using OpenDesire on my Desire before it broke. As for android being better for skinning. It is better for sure. But IMO it's maybe the only thing I like over the iPhone 4.

Android still has a way to go with making skinning a more intuitive process. Besides that, my Desire is great! I'm running Leedroid 2.1a but hoping for a fully functional and stable Desire HD rom.
