I've also just read somewhere that having an ext3 partition can slowdown 720p recording? Any truth to this?

Usually even with Apps 2 SD, you still get about 2-2.5 MB/s on the FAT32 partition if you have a Class 6 card, more than fast enough

As for all the other people asking about the speed of the card: It doesn't really matter for general usage, however if you use an Apps 2 SD hack (EXT3 partition) it is a lot better with a Class 6 card

Just got my 16GB Sandisk card in today, smooth transition over!

One thing I love about this phone over my iPhone, no paying stupid extra prices for storage and not being able to upgrade it.

ok, just a quick question,

Is it possible to root but not flash a custom rom (LeeDroid, Open Desire etc) and remain on the Official rom that came with the phone

If not, is there a rom that have sense ui cooked in?

Yes. You can, just use Unrevoked. As for the ROM, you are looking for something like this.

and can you please guide me towards a site/ guide which just shows how to root :D or should I just follow the steps in this guide and follow it till rooting? and then instead of custom rom load the nandroid backup???

Excellent! Prices have dropped for the Desire and I hope will continue to do so as many people go for the DesireHD:

18 09 2010 - ?419

22 09 2010 - ?409

25 09 2010 - ?385

The further down it goes, the more value my contract will become in October. I may even look at getting it with a network as they will all be promoting the DesireHD, so may give me the phone for free on a ?15/month contract. But then the problem with this is it will have their branding all over it, I don't like that :/

I'm starting to get annoyed with OpenDesire. Seems there is some small annoyance / bug in every new build. Apps that stop responding, wifi that doesn't work or is too slow, etc. In short, I'm looking for a more stable experience. OD just changes around stuff too much.

I do like the quite frequent feature updates with OD, so if possible I'd like a ROM that has this as well. Just needs to be as bug free as possible. Can anyone here recommend me anything?

DeFrost is a better ROM with regular updates and IMO a better OTA ap (DeFrost setup).

I have used all the big name ROMs now and have always gone back to DeFrost.

What didn't you like about Leedroid?

I've not used it, but I saw it uses Sense. That's enough for me not to use it.

OpenDesire seems fine for me. You're right by saying there's occasionally bugs but the update cycle is quick enough and painless enough that I can look over it because the rest is so good.

One thing I don't like is the cyanogen modifications such as music mod. Does anyone know if someone's maintaining a rooted nexus one rom that works with the Desire?

What didn't you like about Leedroid?

I'm not too keen on Sense and since I use Launcher Pro it means I have no need for it whatsoever and since you cannot shut it off completely a Sense-free ROM is the best way to free up internal memory.

Plus LeeDroid bundles in apps that I don't want and I can't bothered to manually remove them each update via ADB.

And then there's the lack of bluetooth support for Wiimotes and so on.

Those apps are all commonly used apps hence why they have been added. But you can easily remove them without having to use ADB. Use open the the ZIP file with WinRAR navigate to data/app and delete the APKs in there. Job done.

I was using OpenDesire on my Desire before it broke. As for android being better for skinning. It is better for sure. But IMO it's maybe the only thing I like over the iPhone 4.

The iPhone is much better for skinning with Winterboard... Android still has a way to go with making skinning a more intuitive process. Besides that, my Desire is great! I'm running Leedroid 2.1a but hoping for a fully functional and stable Desire HD rom.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
