Thanks. But whats Busybox anyway?

One problem with LeeDroid that i have on my short time with it was its really battery hungry and i have no idea why. And there are several people in XDA that reported the same problem. Even worse than OpenDesire to be honest. But functionality, by far better than the OpenDesire one last time.

Same as me. I just wanted to get the OTA one first before jumping to root again

It depends on what connection you use for the internet. When there is a H there, it means you are using the HSDPA connection. If you are connected to a WiFi, the data connection logo will be gone and indicates it is using WiFi connection instead.

When you root and install a custom ROM, usually they will notify you which version of ROM would be the best, if an update is required.

In regards to memory card, MicroSD and MicroSDHC are basically the SAME thing. The HC, indicates HIGH CAPACITY, which is a denotation for any MicroSD cards, that is > 8gb in capacity. Thus, any cards below 8gb will be called MicroSD, while any cards equal or more than 8gb will be called MicroSDHC.

Install ROM, then Install Radio but it doesnt matter the sequence i believe. The end effect is the same.

The ROM wont tell you whether you need to update the radio. The developer of the ROM will usually state in their thread in XDA, for example, OpenDesire request all user to update their radio if you use their ROM.

It doesn't matter if you don't update except there could be a few features that will be problematic.

Follow the guide from maliqu3. As easy as it could get

http://smarty-money.blogspot.com/2010/07/g...-phone-new.html

1) Download a program from the market called ROM Manager. In order to use this, you must root your phone first. Then, using ROM Manager, there is an option to create a partition. Enter Ext3 - 512MB and Swap - 0MB.

2) You can do it either way. I personally flash the ROM first before installing the new Radio. And follow this guide :

Flashing of Radio is exactly the same process as flashing a ROM.

Take out your memory card and format using ur PC Thats what i did to mine

Yes you can

But can you format it directly? Cause last i tried, its not working with the OpenDesire. When i format the SD card, it hangs.

Thats the problem. When it hangs, i need to force quit. And when i force quit and restart, it cant recognize the SD anymore, probably because its corrupted.

Well, no idea but i tried multiple times when i am on rooted leaked froyo and it hangs, every single time, even after multiple restarts

How much better is it?

Wait, you are saying you are trying to root your handset that is already rooted? I thought you only need to do it once and after that, all you need to do is flash the ROM.

Download the Official RUU file at XDA, run the RUU file and you will have unrooted Eclair. Then, update to Froyo

Question is, can you root an already rooted Desire? I feel that is the cause of the problem.

For Swype, i had the problem as well previously whereby you had enabled it in settings but you cant find it anywhere. What you should do is, to install Swype, enable it in Settings, then restart your phone. Only then you will see the option by long-pressing the settings key in the messages keyboard.

Speedtest on my Digi showing about 1MB as well but that is on a very good case.

Aint CWM from the same creator as the ROM Manager? Weird that they will conflict within each other

What is the reason you unroot back? Not satisfied? I am getting impatient for the 2.2 OTA and thinking about rooting

Btw, for the official rooted FroYo, do we still need the EXT3 partition?

No. Problem due to GSC website accepting only Mozzila / IE / Chrome. Not even Fennex or Opera works. Tested even on the iPhone

You mean its only a problem, if you want to change to another custom ROM? Cause i am worried that the Rooted Froyo are not exactly stable.

Ahh great. My first experience with LeeDroid aint that great either cause its very battery hungry. Gonna wait till the weekend and if the OTA Froyo aint here by then, gonna flash to the rooted OTA Froyo

This looks interesting! All stock Froyo with the new radio together. Probably gonna ditch the XDA one and go with this

Using 8GB at the moment, and it seems to be more than sufficient. Programs are definitely not a problem as all of them are fairly small. Otherwise, it depends on how many pictures you take + music + videos.

Works great on mine for FB1.3.

Anyone tried the stock Modaco ROM? Is it any better than the Stock ROM in XDA?

Do they ship to Malaysia? I check CM website before and they don't seem to ship to Malaysia.

Gonna update to Modaco ROM then this weekend

I see. Cause when i was checking out from their cart, i cant seem to select Malaysia as the country Hope you get yours soon. Mine need to wait another 2 weeks
