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.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By George P · Posted

      Not really. It should be unnoticeable in the end. All this change does is take advantage of your CPUs boost clocks for specific tasks which should be used in this fashion anyway. Actually, it should've been like this for years.

      This sort of thing isn't anything new, lots of Linux distros act this way iirc.
