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

      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.

      Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon by Taras Buria Files, one of the best third-party file managers for Windows 11 out there, has received a minor update to version 4.1.3. The latest release brings a few quality-of-life improvements and new features, including an easier way to calculate folder sizes, improved tags, a new OneDrive icon, and more. Starting with folder size, File now has a dedicated "View size" button for each folder if you have the "Calculate folder sizes" option turned off in settings. This improves performance and allows you to see each folder's size only when needed. Note that folder size calculation could take some time depending on the number of files and their "weight." Next, Files can now retain file selection when switching layouts. While this change is rather minor, it lets you keep selected objects highlighted whenever you need to switch, say, from a list to a thumbnail layout. If you use tags, you will be glad to know that Files 4.1.3 makes it easier to remove all tags. You can do that with one of the following methods: From the context menu — right-click an item, open the Tags submenu, and choose Remove tags. From the toolbar — when the Edit Tags button is pinned to the toolbar, the same option appears in its menu. From the Command Palette — open the Command Palette and search for Remove tags. You can also assign your own keyboard shortcut to it from Settings. The final visible change is the new OneDrive icon. Files now pulls the icon directly from the OneDrive executable, which means the app always has the up-to-date version. As for the fixes, developers resolved the following bugs: Fixed an issue with extracting tar archives. Fixed an issue where the Signatures page would occasionally cause a crash. Fixed an issue where the Play action wasn’t available when a single media file was selected. Fixed an issue where Smart Extract would extract archives to the wrong location when switching tabs. Fixed an issue where tag search excluded folders when grouping by type. Fixed an issue where thumbnails would sometimes fail to refresh after a file was modified. Fixed an issue where a BitLocker-locked drive wasn’t displayed. Developers also revealed what is coming in future updates. Soon, Files Preview will get a new Tree View sidebar, allowing you to display folders in an expandable hierarchy, which is a popular way to browse deeply nested folders. Expect the feature to arrive in the preview channel in upcoming updates. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
