This will sound a bit crazy but in all honesty I would actually say this rom feels faster! I think HTC have optimised Sense since 2.2 for the Desire was released.

Previously I had the Modaco 2.2 R9 rom flashed, which is supposed to be optimised very well. Despite this the RCMixHD rom definitely appears to be more responsive to me, you will not find any speed decrease from my experience anyway.

I have always used A2SD+ so my apps / cache have been running off the SD card for many months. I think the only difference now is that some of the HTC apps are also on the SD card.

If its of any help I have a Transcend 8 GB Class 6 micro SDHC card, I would give it ago, I don't think you will be disappointed :)

Also the htcsense.com stuff is a pretty nice addition:

Activates the GPS on my phone and locates it fine:

Message / Pin to lock the phone with:

End result on the Desire:

Yeah, I have the exact same brand of MicroSD card as well, so if it works with you I shall indeed give it a try, it looks fantastic.

The lack of Wireless N in this DesireHD ROM is a little annoying, and the market is a touch slow, but all in all the new features included in sense are extremely nice, and well worth the installation of the ROM, and speed seems to be acceptable.

I'm currently on LeeDroid 2.2f, what's the best way to go about changing over to RCMixHD without losing everything?

Thanks

I suppose you could just flash it normally without wiping, but you need a EXT partition on your SD card (which if you don't have will require you to format it)

Other than that you could do a backup (plus sometimes when I flash a ROM, my installed Apps from the Market reinstall automatically)

I usually just backup my contacts (from the actual contacts viewer) and flash :laugh:

Which wallpaper is in the first screenshot? Looks amazing.

Its htc_wallpaper_09, I have uploaded all the ones from the Desire HD rom here.

First attempt at RCMixHD just resulted in being stuck at the HTC bootscreen for 40 mins. Doing another full wipe and trying again.

Did you wipe your ext3 partition too?

It did stick at the HTC bootscreen for 5-10 mins after I flashed the rom.

exactly, so Hardcore Til I Die gotta jump fully in to enjoy this HD masterpiece.

Yeah I understand that. I was asking how to backup all of my data when Titanium Backup requires root. That's why I asked whether or not rooting deleted all data, which it doesn't, so that's fine :)

Rooted using unrevoked and backing everything up now... Now I just need to work out how to flash the DHD rom :D

You absolutely need to have an EXT partition on your MicroSD card, I would recommend a minimum of 768MB, the ROM is too big to fit on the Desire's internal memory. You need to have the EXT partition at the end of the card, and the FAT partition at the beginning otherwise you will have problems.

I've decided not to bother. Can't be bothered with it all, just going to keep it rooted with the usual sense rom so I can use setcpu :)

Thanks though!

    • 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.
