U can use a custom rom for it then.. find it up on xda forum on the desire section.. my myself, i have no experience at rooting or using custom roms for androi but im sharing what ive seen iis available on the net

Here is the link to it, its no warez btw.. remind me if im wrong.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=628

Hmm... But what i was thinking is... can HTC Desire get the updates (froyo and gingerbread in the future) as soon as they released?

What I know is because HTC have to update the Sense UI to make it compatible, so we usually get our updates slower.

By removing the Sense UI (or installing a different launcher like what you said) can do this?

installing launcher will replace ur sense UI, means u can choose either launcher or sense UI. it's switchable

Then can I conclude that... installing launcher on desire can get updates as fast as those google nexus one?

so meaning the anti virus program in the market is uselesS?
do u guys download any tracking device like wheres my droid app?

Nope, you still need manually update the ROM if i'm not mistaken.

hi..
what is the different between unlock and lock: htc desire ?
wanted to buy europe htc desire, and want to make sure it is an unlock phone..

Locked means it's locked to certain network whereby you can't use except that particular network.

if lock u can only use only with that carrier, if unlock can use with any carrier (maxis,digi,celcom if in malaysia)

That means... let say if i use a custom rom... i will need to have to wait the rom to update to 2.2, then i can install the updated rom with 2.2, is that what you mean?

Then what about i install the stock rom?

yahoo... got my desire from maxis without plan lor....

If you want to use a custom rom, you must root your phone first. Rooting will void your warranty. You can install the new update 2.2 by flashing the update zip file but before that you need to flash the stock rom first if you have earlier installed the custom rom. Check up over http://android.modaco.com/category/430/htc...ire-modaco-com/
Here at this weblink you will learn how to root, install custom rom etc. Paul might builtup a zip file where you can flash directly without installing the stock rom. I haven't check this up yet. He did that for the nexus one

you bought at KLCC??

Well good news, they've restocked some Desires at KLCC today.
So yea... for those who can't get them last week, can go check some time this week.

Roadshow ends today though.
But you can always ask for a test model in their main office when the roadshow ends.

May I know the complete package included if buy Desire @ klcc? microsd 4gb? screen protector?

Maxis gave me 2GB microsd & no screen protector.

Hi guys..
Anybody tested any camera apps to replace the default one? Can we get better quality photos with another app?

anyone knows how to update the facebook friend's profile photo for contacts photo. let's say, i use facebook contact photo for my friend's contact photo. he/she then updated his facebook profile photo. but I seem not to be able to update to this new profile photo. Is this something to do with htc sense?

i think just sync the facebook data again?
