A small teaser. Remember all this S-OFF and full root talk? - xda-developers

[ROOT] unrEVOked 3.2: one-click root for GSM & CDMA Desire - xda-developers

As far as I know, doesn't Brut just add navigation worldwide, what else does it have that standard Google Maps doesn't?
Different add-ins to Brut available (I think), and the fact that it caches the map to your SD card means offline navigation!

Does everybody's Desire (Sense I mean) lag at the bottom of (some) menus? Most notable in the App Drawer.

I remember people saying with the Froyo update it's perfect but mine has been the same since 2.1, in all (that I remember) custom ROMs too.

Doesn't happen on other launchers though (LauncherPro etc).

I'd try overclocking but I don't think there is any kernels that allow it with Sense, not looked far though :laugh:

There are OC kernels available for 2.1, but HTC have not released the kernel source for 2.2 yet, so no OC kernels for the Sense builds will be available until they do.

Go for Class 6+.

I ordered two Sandisk Class 4 16GB cards from eBay, one for my Galaxy S and one for my bro's Desire. To my pleasant surprise, they turned out to be Class 6. Not sure how much of a speed performance they will provide though compared to the Class 4's. The Class 6's were quite a bit more expensive.

What's the views on the official car kit? - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260661287553

Decent?

IMO for £45 I wouldn't bother, its only plastic with a built in charger. Myself, I just got one of these...

http://www.t-mobile-accessories.co.uk/P_HOLSUCKT2_Universal+Fit+Suction+Holder+%28Kit+packaging%29.html

Granted, it doesn't come with a charger, but just charge it with a £7 Vodaphone blackberry in-car charger. Total = £17. It rotates horizontally too, which is cool for when/if you use it as a sat nav on long journeys.

Good card to upgrade to? - http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_6&products_id=106392

Seems good value for 16GB.

That would be fine, I have the equivalent card from Kingston (albeit not at such a bargain price :angry:) and I've had no issues whatsoever.

Go for Class 6+.

If I want to go for Class 6 I can only get 8GB around this price range.

A decent amount of people seem to say the Sandisk class 2 cards end up performing at class 6 speeds anyway.

I'd normally agree, but the price increases exponentially if you go for high class cards. Unless you're moving hundreds of megabytes of files regularly, its a waste of money just for faster transfer speeds, again, in my opinion.

Well with Froyo Apps2SD, the faster the SD card, the quicker you can run your app off the SD. And for things like A2SD+ it pays to have a faster card. Yes SOME Class 2 cards perform at Class 6+ speeds. But not all.
I've also just read somewhere that having an ext3 partition can slowdown 720p recording? Any truth to this?
No idea.

HTC look to be releasing a WHITE VERSION.

2010-09-13-aa715.jpg

I myself will be sticking with the brown. Hoping the October release of phones will get the price under ?380.

Saying that, the same site seems to suggest they aren't really looking to go back to AMOLED but sticking with "Super LCD" for their models.

Amazon lists theirs as having: 3.7-inch Sony SuperTFT touch-sensitive screen with 480 X 800 WVGA resolution

HandTec list theirs as: 3.7 inch SLCD Touch Display

Both are still shipping with Android 2.1 though. I would have thought the latest batch would have been 2.2 :s

    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      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.

      I agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.
