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

You cannot update at all OTA if rooted.

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.

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.

The full official RUU package for Froyo / 2.2 is out now. Get it here.

Excellent, thank you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
