@chding - too early to tell, still charging it now

Maybe can give an update tomorrow

I got 4.86 left.. almost full as well. Not too concerned bout that since it is running just fine

Good analysis LOL

Neophyte seems to be impatient sometimes when handling XDA forumers (and at times hard to understand his english), but nevertheless I think his ROM is really polished and not much trouble - he's fast in fixing issues too. Not sure if the underclocked thing really works but I just assume it would for now (since it doesn't feel that slow anyway)

I tried LeeDroid 1.7 once and had market problem causing handset reboot (means I couldn't do anything else) then gave up. It's prolly fixed already in 1.8 though

Open the folder, press the folder name and hold it for sometime

On 1, I am not facing that issue when I was on 2.1

Connection was on all the time unless I use JuiceDefender to control it, no service disruption... perhaps it's Digi's problem?

It runs okay on my phone, but Neo gave following suggestion:

"Who hava the problem of the APN, or sim changed that change/delete on /system/etc/apns-conf.xml, to fix the problem, after delete, you can put your APN manually"

Maybe problem with the APN? Try removing it and use the one at #1 post, not sure if that would help

I find the battery life slightly improved (not more than 20%), without visible impact on performance (unless you want to run Quadrant test - which I get 1060 max for battery save ROM and 1360 max for normal version). I think battery somehow sustains better when you are in standby mode (drop only around 1-2% per hours if you leave it standby without using)

LuffyPSP (and other XDA forumers) seemed to claim that 4.0 drains much faster than 3.4, but I can't tell the difference since I only used 3.4 for half a day NeoPhyte claimed that he will release 5.0 with further performance and battery life tweak, looking forward for that

If you want an everyday phone, you can stay on with the stock version and it is still a desirable phone to use! It's probably not as cool as an iPhone, but going forward you get more free apps, and it's more customizable. And sometimes it's good to be low profile

Read the first post if you want to know more information, and welcome to the Android world!

If ROM Manager doesn't work, do the manual way (rebooting to Clockwork Mod and flash the zip) then. I find ROM Manager rather buggy and avoid using it for the time being

Added on August 9, 2010, 7:41 am- I think the RM50+RM58 package from Maxis is quite fair (if you do indeed make some calls every month and use not more than 500MB)

- With the tethering options available on Desire (cable and portable WiFi), you don't need to use the broadband modem on your simcard

- Seriously, we are not sure whether Gingerbread is available for Desire or not. I have a feeling probably it won't come (knowing HTC..hmmm). But of course Custom ROMs are abundant and if you don't mind rooting and flashing you won't really have to worry about that. HTC Desire hardware will be good enough for Gingerbread

Seems like Neo recommended a wipe for the lock screen thingy

I would do it just to be safe (and wondering if I should flash back to 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08 radio since Neo claimed it would save more battery)

I will try if it works with Radio 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08...

Some said even flashing with no-wipe it would replace the lockscreen as well

No harm to have more battery life

about 1 day... I surf a lot of net in a boring party

Having problem with Maxis in my area now... can't download Titanium backup from Market -.-

Flashed and running great

Quadrant score is 1388... Using the older radio for better battery life (5.09.00.08)

Don't know

Been using it for an hour and not much difference. But it doesn't give me any issue so I think it's okay to just stay there.

You can create it in the recovery menu (Clockwork mod for your case I assume?) - do a full SD card backup first because it will format your card, for your case maybe no need since it's new card

If I'm not mistaken the max you can partition is 512MB (or 768) only

ROM Manager got the option to do partition as well, but I never test it

Now Neophyte NextSense 5.0 ROM has save batt version as well!

Default Android lockscreen no good? I like it cos can adjust volume and see battery % while charging, but it's difficult to slide to unlock though

I'm going all out - by downloading underclocked ROM, flashing to 5.09.00.08 radio and bump charging. Hopefully I can get better battery life

Yeah, downloading it

Will do... running the nextsense 5.0 batt save version now (the lockscreen is back to the one in 4.0) the Quadrant score is 1060 (as opposed to 1360 for normal version) - hopefully it gives me some battery juice enough for two days

A2SD+ still uses a bit of phone memory I think, but not much

And trust me, you wouldn't need >100 applications at a time

Added on August 9, 2010, 2:45 pmNah, it's easier than you thought

I also flashed AmonRA recovery using Unrevoked... just an extra step

Ah...I thought I flashed the NextSense 5.0 SB (save battery) version just now but in fact it was 4.0 (chose a wrong zip file to flash ) Now I am really running the Nextsense 5.0 SB and it gives some sweet quadrant score of 1223 Pretty impressed with this new version so far. Will report the battery life tomorrow

Good review tripplexpresso - according to Neo the reason for slow bootup of SB version is because:

"Because i should to put an sleep of 60 segs to change frequency, because it don't works if i didn't put sleep tan at less 40-50 segs, because the module spends time to insert, and i think it's for this don't works directly"
