Dude's anyone heard of a Desire HD or any other new Android phone coming up soon that i need to wait. Don;t wanna rush n get a desire then find out got some havock one coming

Lol bro, technology will always get better and better. If u buy now, sooner or later a new model will come out. If you wait for new model, after a while also another new model comes out. Depends on what your looking for in the phone also la, and of course your budget. It's really up to you, if you think the current Desire ain't good enough, then wait for the new one tongue.gif.

All I can say is, Desire is one damn fine phone. drool.gif

Managed to root my Desire which is running on OTA SEA Froyo (w/ HBOOT 0.93).  I used Unrevoked 3.21 which is in beta right now.  If you can't wait for the official release of 3.21, you can go to their IRC chat (channel: #unrevokedtest).  The download link will be right at the top of the chat window.

Hmm? Means you don't have to downgrade to stock 2.1 first?? I'm running on FOTA(HBOOT 0.93) SLCD set. I wonder if unrevoked 3.21 will work..

For those who intends to root and flash custom ROM but dunno which guide to follow, you may refer this guide provided by Maliqu, a forumer who was very active and been providing us valuable advise in rooting and flashing. I believe majority of us here referred to his blog when rooting and flashing.

I was on NexTSense5.3 and moved to AuraxTSense7.1 two weeks ago. So far never encounter any problem, it is fast and the battery life is acceptable.

1) No auto reboot when installing apps from market
2) I used MyBackup Pro to restore apps, no auto reboot during restoration process.
3) I dont use Move to SD as I have 130++ apps/games installed yet still have 60MB++ space on internal
4) You can upgrade partition size by using amon_ra recovery.

You may use ADB to remove unnecessary apps on those custom ROM (But make sure you know what r u removing  laugh.gif )

Just my opinion, I believe those who have random reboot problem is either did not do a full wipe when switching ROMs, or have restored some system apps using Titanium backup.

Thanks for the link. But how to I do nandroid backup?

Edit: Got it smile.gif

I've tried cooked version of auratsense and lee droid rom (slim down version)
stil i found the smoothness of sense UI is losing to original sense Froyo rom.
Cooked version of Auratsense and lee droid not bloated but seems like lag compare to the orginal but pls note the speed difference is minor.
So i decide to use Rooted official Froyo wit Apps2sd and deleted unneccesary apps that apply to me. (Slimed down version of official Froyo sense).
Now very happy.
If Auratsense and leedroid is fast to you, mine is superfast but i'm only refering to Sense UI smoothness.

How do you use Official Froyo with app2sd? Does it have app2sd+?

Edit: app2sd you refer to is it the stock app2sd which only work for certain apps?

No, it is Apps2d+. Direct install to SD.
Rooted Official Froyo with Apps2d+ (But no no deodexed) - For me is really clean(not bloated like other rom),
stable since its original and super fast since it is slimed down (removed twitter,teeter and etc)

Sounds promising. May I know where to get that rom?

Just for my knowledge purposes, what exactly is Deodexed?

U can follow this Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663
However thsi is not the slimed down version.

Meaning u get Official Froyo with Apps2d+ and also al the other htc apps like teeter, stock and etc.
However, U can download the rom and then extract the zip file and look into system/app and then delete the apps (*.apk and *.odex) that u don need.
For eg. u looke into system/app folder and u can see teeter.apk and teeter.odex then u delete this 2.
After that u zip all the file that u hav extracted out which already remove these 2 files and flash the rom.
Finally, U wil find that teeter app is removed when u boot ur phone.
Just make sure u know what u delete.

If u find the steps is too complicated, jus flash the rom and try out 1st as removing the unnecessary file/app actually is not significant in terms of file size. Probably only remove 1-3 mb only.
But u will get a very fas UI and stable compare to other rom currently which is bloated. (This may change depend how they revise their rom)

@nd part of your question- I only knows that there are *.odex file along side to your apk files and most rom remove these
odex file to slim down their rom to gain more meory or space. And this process they name deodexed.
However, i still dunoo what is the purpose of the odex file.

Anyone can guide me on how to create ext3 partition? I heard its easy on AmonRa but I only have ClockworkMod so I'm not sure..

So the process is:
1) flash rom
2) partition sdcard?

I followed smart money blog and downloaded rom manager to partition my sdcard. However it only allows for 512mb partition. How do I get 1gb?

Hmm, I partitioned 1GB of ext3, thinking I could fully utilize the space. But somehow I after installing apps, I only used 200MB of ext3 and 100MB of internal storage. I'm left with about 50MB of internal and 650MB of ext3. Does this mean when I ran out of internal memory, the rest of my ext3 memory will be useless?

Basically Yes.

It is really depends on what apps you installed (How much space it going to utilize on internal), i also have 1GB ext3, currently left 500MB++ on ext3 and 60MB on internal. I expect by the time I used up till 20MB space on internal I might still have at least 200MB on ext3.

I am using a 16GB SD card so it doesnt matter to partitioned ext3 to 1GB instead of 512MB. I just dont want to end up in a situation that the ext3 is full but still have space on internal, then i would need to re-partition again just to install more apps, re-partition will wipe all data on ext3.

Thanks for the explanation. I understand now smile.gif

I'm only using 8GB so yeah tongue.gif

I'm on AuraxTSense 7.6.1. I feel the startup time of my phone became slower, and overall performance decreased from FOTA. For example, my phone always feels laggy. And when I want to play a game(Zenonia smile.gif) it won't load at all, and just get stucked untill I have to pull out the battery. Tried few times, same results. Anyone experience the same problem?
