Am using r8 since I rooted my device. Will try out CM mod later.

A lot of new widgets today. Paul is on fire.

You can say Paul is very dedicated to Android at the moment He even list out 1 app per day for android in his tweets.

i dont like nextsense or leedroid. it takes too long for the first boot, i hate that. my recommendation is modaco r8, cyanogen nightly (the latest one, it even beats the rc2) or delite. if i'm not busy on friday, i'll help u.

He just got his Streak.

I finally rooted my desire using the unrevoked method after considering to do or not to do for a long time and reading and rereading instructions from a few sites. You know lah, scared I mess up the phone. Anyway, finally took the plunge and everything went smoothly and at the end of the process, after rebooting, my Desire had the Superuser Permissions icon which I take it to mean my device is rooted.

Now, as soon as the phone got rebooted at the end of the rooting process, my phone suddenly had a notification saying "low on space" .. phone is low on memory space or something like that.

Before I rooted my phone, I had been running on 15MB of available memory for a couple of weeks and this notification never came up. As soon as it got rooted, the memory space showed 14MB available along with the "low on space" notification. I rebooted the phone but notification wont go away.

Did a search on google, but not much help.

I deleted one 12MB Talking Tom program just to test out and the the notification finally went away after rebooting. I hope the stupid notification wont come back as I read a couple of threads that your phone cannot istall stuff or receive mail/sms as long as the notification is up.

So, 2 questions I have for the gurus here please:

1. Why the notification only appeared after I rooted the phone, while I had been running on virtually same amount of memory space (15MB) for 2 weeks unrooted.

2. Why do I have so little memory available on my Desire? I dont install any games or GPS maps at all, except for the Talking Tom thing for my kids. Other than that, it's all just productivity type software and stuff. From what I can see on the stats on the phone, the available disk space is 147MB only on my Desire and if I had 15MB left, means that I used up 132MB on not many programs/data.

When I backup all my apps using mybackup Pro, the whole zip backup file for ALL applications (minus 12MB Talking Tom) is only 32MB and Data backup is only about 1MB. So, where the hell did the remaining 100MB of disk space go? I can't find any useful info in "manage applications" interface in settings.

Someone out there can help me shed some light on this problem? I hope the notification wont come back but at the same time, my phone memory needs sorting out and I hope rooting my phone will help solve the problem.

Thanks.

1. if i'm not mistaken the notification will show up if ur memory has less than 15mb
2. u should format ur phone first before rooting it. if u have less memory, probably u have to much cache on ur phone. u need to clean it. try install cachemate to clean cache.

Well, i always clear my cache in recovery. I feel that is a better and easier way though Can clear together with other stuffs. Not sure whats the use of clearing Davlik Cache though

cyanogen got sense UI ?
i think i'm addicted to sense UI d
emm.. modaco i dun have premium acc... mostly won't buy for now first.. so modaco is out from my list.. maybe i'll try cyanogen

I believe No. Cyanogen is on stock UI.

nope, cyanogen has no sense. other alternative sense rom is delite.

Booting the new r8 for the first time. Will try out all the new widget and report back

ohh.. actually how to differentiate between got sense UI and non sense UI
i still not very clear bout it..
but i'm using eclair now... i kinda like the interface i have now~

The ROM dev will state there.
Vanilla UI is without all HTC thingy.

non sense is like on nexus one. the interface is different, it's simpler and lighter than sense. so it's good if u like to play 3D games and dont want to feel any lag.

ooo ~~~ without htc thingy ~ mean without htc apps ??
then those " long press the screen, add widget "
is this htc thingy ??
ish~ neva got the chance to oplay my friends's nexus 1
so till now also donno the diff of sense UI
maybe i'll try try to root without sense UI... cyanogen ~ since its highly recommended by u all

u dont have to go to recovery just to clean cache. if ur rom has busybox u can try to install cachecleaner, it's a good cache cleaner.

Call Mum and Fortune cookies widget looks cool.

you still can add widget on no-sense (vanilla), but cant add htc widget. try to add widget on ur phone now and see below the apps' name. you will see two different types, htc and android. so, if u flash no-sense rom u wont find htc apps.

ohhh ~~~~ the sense UI is just ... we dun have htc apps...
then other thing is same ??
if like tat i think i can live without sense UI

Flashing CM in 2 minutes time. Downloading NextSense.
