Thanks cruzz,
should be put in the 1st page!

just want to share some pics with u guys;
OpenDesire 2.3, with ADW Launcher

My Homescreen



My App Drawer

anyone bought the iDefense carbon series? seems cool though... got photos for this??

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/729138

ive never been a fan for this kind of things though..
prefer conventional casing...

what suddenly I feel as tho I'm reading in XDA.

lol..everything from xda might bring in here to shareXD

Mr Percia...which rom u using??

u feel this thread is like in XDA desire development thread? lol.. who knows perhaps one day there would be a rOM developer born from this thread also

Well, 2 things is currently halting me from flashing to Froyo. Hopefully you guys can help me here.

1) How many apps currently are actually Froyo able? I really do not like the idea of using any App2SD other than the native Froyo version and i did a search over at the Market, and it seems quite a number of them do state, compatible with Froyo. Does this mean they can install to SD via the native App2SD?

2) I always thought Froyo was suppose to be more battery saving but it seems otherwise. Many did say Froyo consume more battery than the Eclair. Is that true? I came from a 1 day battery life Diamond to about 2 days Desire now, and anything lesser would not go well with me at the moment.

Thanks.

Looks like too complicated to install it ... scared might spoilt it , even put on SP took me a while hehe

err.. sorry if a bit off topic.
i bought a desire last week from the maxis store in e@curve. Yesterday a lady from HTC called me saying that i was invited to some party on the 31st of July 2010 as a token of appreciation, and that she will e-mail me the details of the party. Couldnt get more info from her as i was driving at the time. Anybody who bought the desire from maxis recently get this kind of call? I never got the e-mail. Is this some sort of SCAM/SPAM?

hmmm seems like my friendstream facebook is not working at all..i've even got back to unroot my desire and try also cannot login. now back to rooted still same issue. meh~ i guess just have to wait for new release of custom ROM see if it resolve my issue.

Anything better than 3g watchdog ?

Not sure if this has been posted before, just want to share.

Any of you guys/gals tried the SwiftKey keyboard? It's free now since it's still in beta. So far so good, I think it's better than the stock HTC one.

Try it out http://www.swiftkey.net/download.html

p/s - I never really couldn't get used to Swype.. haha.
