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.

    • 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.
