Got my desire last week, bought it at the Maxis authorize partner at The Mines. Have to wait for 3 days since they don't keep stocks at the store. If you want on the spot have to buy at Maxis center at KLCC. Other branch I'm not sure.

If you hate the CN/THAI keyboard, install the HTC IME mods keyboard from XDA. I think someone posted the link somewhere before. Haven't tried Swype yet.

Edit the contact and under group you can remove the contact from the Favourite group.

Just wondering, oh well, if you cook from modaco, it will download to your PC which enable you to share with your friends ? laugh.gif
Please don't report me for piracy. Just asking as not sure how it ROMs will go to. Will it be to phone straight ? unsure.gif

I think it's the same if you download the pre-cooked one right? Some people prefer to cook the roms themselves to add/remove stuff.

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.


Added on July 23, 2010, 10:28 amI'm using 3G Watchdog as well, is there something wrong with it?

Tried NetCounter? http://www.appbrain.com/app/net.jaqpot.netcounter

Wahh I just rooted my phone. Haha. Done in 5 minutes biggrin.gif

Follow this guide if you plan on doing it (I prefer the linux method since you don't have to worry about drivers and stuff)

http://myhtcdesire.com/modding/how-to-root...easily-method-1

Now.. what? Lol.. so happy now. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

I'm using the Maxis set by the way.

Can someone help with the question below please.

I want to install wavesecure on the system partition so it's hard reset proof, from the guide I just have to put the update.zip file inside SD card and flash from the recovery menu, but there's already an update.zip file there. Does it matter where I put the update.zip file? Inside a folder? Or must be at the root of the SD card?

Thanks in advance.

If you're using Amon-RA, you dont need to name it update.zip. You can freely name the .zip to anything. Folder is supported by Clockwork, Amon-RA needs the .zip file to be in the root of the SD.

Thank I try that.

I use this specific guide.

http://myhtcdesire.com/modding/how-to-root...easily-method-1

By using a linux live cd, you don't need to worry about the android drivers and stuff. Took me 5 minutes to root with the above tutorial (minus the times downloading the linux live cd)..

Good luck smile.gif

no need to thank me, i just point out a few lil things only.. try texting urself n see la if its working or not.. no need wait tomorrow.. haha.. im using Alarming! which is a paid app actually .. seems good.. sry bout the barely case as i do not know much on it, perhaps some other users here would give u a hand on that..

there is a math and a puzzle option to snooze or dismiss alarm.. the screenshot is below which ive taken just now..

[attachmentid=1693231][attachmentid=1693232]

Thank you for this, must be fun trying to figure out the puzzle while you're half awake. Haha.

Anyway, I'm using the "[ROM-FroYo] Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (16/07 v1.0c | OpenDesire Team)" roms right now. Anyone have problem with their Facebook contact? We can sync our contact photo with Facebook right, but some of my friends is not listed when I want to link their Facebook profile. When I view my friend list from the Facebook app, I can see their name but not when I want to link their profile with the phone contact. It's a bit annoying really.. huhu. Any ideas?

i have the same problem before but i think i found a solution/workaround.

Here is what i do to update my facebook fren's list.  Goto People > Online Directories (that little earth icon at the bottom) > Facebook

Press menu then Refresh.

See if this work for you.
*
Thanks! I didn't know we had this features, it's new in Froyo? Last time I check the Online directory is empty (when I was on stock 2.1)

Weird.. I tap Refresh and it went to 110 from 109. But I think I'm still missing a dozen of my friends. Only 1 went through it seems..haha.

Maybe I should try the LeeDroid 1.6 instead... so tempted now.

i gotta admit of all the phone i use, Desire is the one giving em the most headache when i re-org my contact.  Prob because of the integration to facebook.

At one point i just couldn't figure out why my contact number appear twice and some with spaces or hyphen.  what i did is to export my contact from SIM and import it to gmail contact.  then i remove all contact from People (make sure my phone have not contact at all).

I edit all my contact in gmail contact then i synch.  I solve a lot of my problem.  anyway, once in a while i still get contacts mixed up. Like B's phone nu,ber suddenly appear in A...!!!!  or i can see C's phone number but when i edit, there is nothing to edit.

i guess there must be some bugs somewhere.
*
That's what I did as well, easiest to use Gmail contact to make the changes and reorganise everything. Now I backup all my contact with WaveSecure. No more headache.. but don't you love it when all you contacts have photos with their details. Haha.

I am planning to root my Desire some time next weekend (after I get my new laptop). So many version of Froyo out there, which is best? The last I saw recommended by pluginbaby said that it does not come with "Stock" which is an application that I need.

Using LeeDroid now.. not bad. If you want a clean official Froyo with sense, try this one.


QUOTE(demio121 @ Jul 26 2010, 03:10 PM)
i am on 2.1.  i think its just one of those function that hides sumwhere.

Oh really.. Too bad my FB contact sync still got problem.. maybe just have to wait for FB/HTC to resolve the issue.

Having the same problem as well, it's a know issue with Facebook/HTC I think. Tried other roms but still have the same problem.


QUOTE(s3r^ph @ Jul 26 2010, 04:40 PM)
got a question here. my contacts in the people app are sync with my facebook contacts but for some reason the contacts don't update. some of my friend's fb pictures are not updated to the latest ones. is there a way to make them update? cant seem to find it on google
*
See above.. I think all of us is having this problem now.. we'll just have to wait I guess. Not sure if there's any work-around as of now.

Hi there,

Mind sharing what are their differences? The clean official Froyo is by HTC themselves?

Would be great is others who have rooted speak up on what ROM do they have installed... pluginbaby, maqu3l, anyone?
*
LeeDroid rom is basically HTC Sense + Froyo + Extra modification by him. He removed some apps from the original rom and add some extra useful apps in the rom plus some other exra stuff.

The clean version is from HTC themselves I believe and it's a leaked version. There's no other apps or enhancement included. It's not final so there might be some bugs. Tried using it for a few days but I don't see any issue except the Facebook contact sync issue.

You can visit the rom page from the link I give above you to get a general idea of what is included/removed in each rom and what other enhancement they add.

Hello there,

Yes, I've read the links you posted and decided to go with LeeDroid but what are my alternatives to Stock applications? Anyone here can recommend a good application for Stock monitoring?
*
Sorry can't help you with that, you might be able to install it by extracting the HTC stock app from the original HTC Froyo rom?

Why not use the original HTC Froyo one? That one got the Stock app.

I thinking about it but decided to go with LeeDroid because he has more supporters, hence assume his release is more stable.

Well, that make sense. I think I'll stick with LeeDroid as well for now. So far so good.

For the Stock app.. you can try here http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=stock (the first one looks promising)

I have no experience using any of those, so you better off try it out yourself.
