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.

?20 delivered (Y)

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.

    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
