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

      You can use MCT to create an updated ISO and then use Rufus to create the bootable USB.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By duhk · Posted

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
