Is it possible to remove apps that are installed by the ROM? There are a couple of things I want to remove, like Android contacts, dialer etc. I prefer the HTC variants.
This is easily done. You can use something like CookAndroid.com or use WinRAR to go into the zip file and delete the correct APKs. Please note, that some APKs are critical for the Android platform.

Do you think they will go back to AMOLED?

I don't really want an SLED one if I can help it. Although I won't be getting mine until October time anyway as prices for the Desire will fall with the (maybe) release of the desire HD.

Hopefully, yes. Although you will be very hard pressed to notice the difference between SLCD and AMOLED. I would still prefer AMOLED.

Sadly, there's still no word from HTC on when Friendstream will support Twitter's new OAuth mechanism.

Looks like Twitter has fixed it for mobile clients (Twitter status update) although I presume this isn't using OAuth as that would require an update to Peep/Friend Stream?

Running Leedroid now.

How is that Swype application Singh?

Swype is great, been using it since I got the Desire, signed up for the BETA straight away. There is a similar keyboard in the market called TouchIT I believe the demo is free, but time based so would need uninstalling and reinstalling etc. Bit of a pain.

Yeah I'm gutted the beta is closed pinch.gif

Installed LauncherPro to give it a whirl the other day.

Holy **** its a significant improvement on my battery with the same usage as I'd give SenseUI.

I love that its more customisable too - is anyone else using it? If so, what widgets/themes do you use?

Conclusion therefore: try LauncherPro and be happy - I can finally use my Desire to its fullest without worrying about the battery dying on me mid-afternoon!

:laugh:

Swype, is THE best thing I have ever come across on the Android platform. Seriously, killer app.

I use it, I'm not sure it's the best thing because there's so many and I'm so happy with my Desire but it is by far the best keyboard I've used on any mobile device. I reckon it takes less a 10 sms to get used to it.

For other Swype users, since I flashed my ROM and reinstalled last weekend I'm missing the smilely button on the bottom right hand side of the keyboard (when writing sms for example), is this

a) something to do with the ROM?

b) something I can change?

c) an update by Swype (I ask because I redownloaded Swype instead of restoring my apps backup and wondered if it was a newer version than before)?

Thanks

I have started using the keyboard mod Audioboxer mentioned, and I find it a bit better than the stock HTC keyboard, being multitouch it allows for faster text input. Only annoyance is that you can't long press to insert numbers and characters as you can on the HTC keyboard.

I managed to get push email working with Hotmail on my Desire, running Android 2.2 with HTC Sense (Custom baked Modaco R8 Rom)

You need to use the stock Android Email app and not the HTC Mail app, for whatever reason the HTC Mail app just doesnt work.

I have uploaded the stock Email app here, however dont know if thats all you need to install it on your Desire as i ripped it out my baked rom.

Settings:

Setup an exchange email account.

Domain / username: \[email protected] (you need the \ before the email)

Password: Only you know that :p

Server: m.hotmail.com

Tick the use secure connection box.

For the email check frequency select Automatic (push)

As you can see it works perfectly, no more "failed to create the account" errors :)

Been using a different method for a while now. Someone over at XDA suggested using this app. Works perfectly fine (Y)

The Angry Birds port is pretty impressive imo. Hard to tell the differences between this and the iPhone version. Android needs more polished apps like these imo. Wish more devs would port their apps to Android and put in as much effort as these guys have with Angry Birds.

Damn, the game is very addictive, been playing it non-stop since yesterday. We need more games like this.

No, not to my knowledge. With Brut mod, Google Maps ****es all over any other map app.

As far as I know, doesn't Brut just add navigation worldwide, what else does it have that standard Google Maps doesn't?

    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

    • The most consequential argument in technology right now is not about which model is smartest or which chip is fastest. It is about whether the entire enterprise is a generational revolution or the largest financial bubble ever inflated — and the unsettling answer, increasingly, is that it may be both at once.,,,, https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318138/20260610/ai-revolution-ai-bubble-trillion-dollar-question-splitting-wall-street-silicon-valley.htm This is a very good read.  For what it is worth, I agree with the answer to the question.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.4-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.4-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.4 Release Notes Notable changes: DRM now uses a per-site permission, instead of allowing all requested sites access, when DRM is enabled. Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Stopped using Windows as my main workflow. Migrated completed to Linux. Been happier than a clam without a single issue nor windows annoyance. Leaving Windows has shown me the light at the end of the tunnel, or rather I went through the tunnel and I'm already at the light.
