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?

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
