Thanky buddy, I got it all planned for tomorrow, unrevoked, then MoDaCo :)

edit: What's this about formatting the memory stick correctly for A2SD+ though?

You need to put the EXT partition at the end of the card, the Desire can't read EXT4 either so it has to be EXT3 but if you have a Class 6 card, it's just as fast as running apps from internal memory :D

I also use AmonRA R5 as well, it can fix permissions and fix the filesystem permissions on the AppsToSD partition which Clockwork cannot yet

The Desire CAN read and write EXT4 partitions, who said it doesn't? It's the ROM you choose which needs to have EXT4 support, most (if not all) do. Leedroid is all I know of that does not.

I've been using EXT4 for ages.

Clockwork mod had trouble backing up and restoring EXT4 though so another reason to use AmonRA.

What ROM are you using?

Ooh, an HTC Desire thread. What a lovely phone it is. So happy I got it a few weeks ago (luckily the store had just got some in), though Vodafone's 2.2 update almost ruined it for me - some issue with Sense crashing on startup - couldn't get to the settings to clear the problematic data. Decided to factory reset it, and set everything up again, what a dream. I'd probably be more annoyed if everything important wasn't basically in the cloud.

Noticed today I have an SLCD version instead of AMOLED (which my housemate has). No complaints though.

I'm using OpenDesire but I'm a bit peeved that the developer is thinking of changing the launcher to the Samsung version, and I like my Android to be as stocked as possible, similar to what I drive to work :p . That said, I'm close to cleening up the ROM I'm flashing to my phone, with all the icons replaced and hopefully a new framework (though that it still far away from reality).

I love my Desire :wub: !

I've thought about using OpenDesire but never really wanted to flash it. And now that he is thinking about using the ****ty Samsung version, I really don't care for it.

I'd much rather cook my own ROM or use something like LeeDroid.

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.

It's actually VERY simple.

http://www.unrevoked.com/ is pretty pain free, easier on Linux but not too hard on Windows.

As for a Vanilla 2.2 ROM i'm using OpenDesire nice plain ROM that allows some pretty good overclocking too via SetCPU :)

Agree with you there Singh and really hope he doesn't got the way of porting the Galaxy S to it, or if he does, release it as a seperate ROM.

Hehe Scirwode, thought that was you on there ;)

I seen you in the OpenDesire topic ;) I'm going with MoDaCo though to keep the Sense UI and I used the 'cooker' as the author calls it to customize my rom myself.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Formatting would be awesome if fully customised and then roll out the settings as a company wide standard.

      I just want to know why the volume control feature in the browser version keeps appearing then disappearing, here today - gone tomorrow. Now it's gone again. Annoying as hell.

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology, it’s actually a container, not a VM that is being started by the way. There were users on macOS reporting the same issue, Hyper-V, doesn’t exist on that platform obviously. Every single user who confirmed the problem in the last week was either using macOS making this issue impossible to be relevant to them, or was a comment talking about WSL, which the author indicated 3 months ago was disabled.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.
