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.

    • So what is it, "Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users." or "Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it:" We keep hearing these are rolling out but they never seem to show up, we have force them on with ViVetool. Getting a bit tired of it.
    • Seems very lazy, so basically drain more battery power on laptops/tablets if this is turned on.
    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Appreciate the focus on UI performance, but this is going the wrong way. Instead of optimizing performance, coding to lower latency, etc. this is just throwing horsepower. This is lazy.
