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.

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

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.

      Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.

      All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....

      It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
