footballmad909 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 @m?k I just looked at your apps link and wonder, how do you have so many apps installed? Is it possible to install apps on the sd card? I installed quite a few apps (nothing too huge but I don't remember the total size) to test and a few games and had to uninstall loads because of low system space. Do you have any tips?

Singh400 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Anyone rooted their Desire yet? I'm Orange so I am looking to remove all branding and root it at the same time. BUT I want to keep a backup of the phone, just in case I bork it or it fails later on down the line. So I can restore my Orange backup, and thus not void the warranty.

I have mate, plus I'm on Orange. It's so much better without the Orange junk. And Titanium Backup requires root and that backs up everything for you :) Have a look at Modaco forum, under Android and HTC Desire is all the info you need. Plus I'm sure they're putting original carrier ROMs on there to restore back to Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/893008-htc-desire/page/6/#findComment-592618142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I did this last night without any problems, my main reason was to install stuff on the sd card but with apps like startup manager there are lots of other advantages to rooting the Desire. As funkymunky says, there are guides on Modaco but I found this one to be more helpful as everything can be done from Windows. http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/ Good luck Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/893008-htc-desire/page/6/#findComment-592618258 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't bother me at all and mods could merge this thread to the better review. When i posted i just wanted to give a fast personal insight of the device to other fellow neowinians.

acnpt Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Just ordered one, should have it Tuesday....if I pass the credit check :unsure: Got it on Orange, 24 month sentance but with free handset, 300mins, unlimited texts and 500mb internet.....all for £25 a month, with 10 months 1/2 price via cashback. Total cost = £475, and could get lucky and have an extra £50 back via quidco. ....and if I don't like it, I can always sell it on ebay for £300ish and keep my iPhone 3G.
