QUOTE(KayK @ Aug 30 2010, 05:05 PM) finally 2.2 update for desire is out...but now i'm deciding whether to update or not... Rooting for new hboot is juz a question of time...i mean i considering to get rooting, not for custom ROM (kinda tired of flashing custom ROM honestly, back to the days when i was using Touch HD) but for the A2SD+ feature...i know 2.2 support A2SD but it require developer to enable that as well and widget cant be put into the microSD...i do hope that someone will be able to hack and make root for the new hboot... |

No more lag when scrolling All Programs list 4) Finally can play facebook video 5) Flash games like Zyngapoker, Barnbuddy were loaded completely and successfully!

QUOTE(KTCY @ Aug 30 2010, 05:19 PM) For those already updated and feel like sharing the ROM with us. Please do so. the dump is the entire ROM including radio, my apps and data???I have the update, I want to tar it. 1) Install Android SDK or simply adb 2) Download busybox for Android 3) Launch Windows console (cmd) and go to the directory where busybox is with the "cd path/to/the/file" command. 4) "adb devices" <- Is your device detected ? If not, install HTC Sync // Of course, before you have to plug your device in... (Sync mode I guess) 5) "adb push busybox /data/local/busybox 6) "adb shell" 7) "cd /sdcard/" 8) "chmod 755 /data/local/busybox" (something like that) 9) "/data/local/busybox tar cvf dump.tar /system" 10) When it's finished, you will have a normal error like 'tar: error exit delayed from previous errors'. 11) Compress it and then upload it. Feel like a rock star. Much appreciated |

QUOTE(Cynox @ Sep 1 2010, 11:27 AM) human nature.... I've owned a few brands of PDA but once started using HTC, I've sticked with it. when I first got my Treo 600 few years ago, I am so excited even before I received it on hand (i got thru Spore forum and need to wait for 1 week to deal COD) becoz I was using a palm device without phone function for some time and I need to carry 2 devices PDA and phone. Treo 600 was the first smartphone I used. Then I upgraded to Treo 680 which its screen resolution is far more better than Treo 600. I was quite excited for some time too. But like you, as times go by, I only use the smartphone more like a normal phone. For me, HTC Desire is a huge leap from Treo 680 for hardware and software, especially after rooting and flashing custom rom. I think the excitement will wear out fast for Desire too. But having a smartphone with some interesting games will sure making your waiting time at the airport lounge more enjoyable or any other occasion when you have nothing better to do, especially one with wi-fi like Desire. I also remembered how excited I was when using GPS for the 1st time couple of years back. From WM6.5 to Android is a huge leap. WM6.5 was so damn slow and lagging no matter what ROM you put in. The excitement surely will wear off. I was a Legend owner 4months back but on seeing Desire I was tempted to sell Legend and get Desire. When I finally got my Desire, the first thought, 'How long will this last me???' I hope at least 2 years this time! Yupe, Android games are really a boredom killer! I play it even in the plane to let time fly without me noticing it Added on September 1, 2010, 12:34 pm QUOTE(Vorador @ Sep 1 2010, 12:01 PM) wow updated to froyo, but din't see any diff in terms of speed, suppose it's 450% faster !? of bluff only... try playing asphalt...it is now so much smoother before upgrade i noticed lags when playing the game This post has been edited by dracozz: Sep 1 2010, 12:34 PM |

Only worry should be root is not available I don't come across any RUU for SLCD. And yes, you can try the latest SEA RUU. Not in shipped-roms |

QUOTE(bryan_823 @ Sep 3 2010, 06:16 PM) Do you know what is the app the official froyo use to view FB video? Sorry, videos uploaded to facebook will play in the Internet browser.Added on September 3, 2010, 6:18 pm Use MyBackup from Market. So, from Facebook app, it will open a separate browser to play the video. I guess it could be flash in action. The last time I click on a video, it could have been a youtube video posted into fb. Clicking on youtube video from fb will prompt you to open in Internet browser or Youtube player. |

Juz rooted and flashed AuraxTSense_7.6.
For those new Desire owners (SLCD with HBOOT 0.93), rooting is now a breeze thanks to new unrEVOked 3.2 I used unrEVOked 3.21 Release Candidates from http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=unrevokedtest. Find the download link at the top of the IRC chat It comes with latest clockworkmod recovery but I loaded AmonRa for SLCD (from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4481275/recovery-R...0.1-R5-SLCD.img for partitioning larger ext4 Added on September 15, 2010, 5:11 pm QUOTE(ksh9394 @ Sep 15 2010, 11:50 AM) Doesn't seem bloated or laggy to meAdded on September 15, 2010, 5:18 pm QUOTE(finalzz @ Sep 15 2010, 04:09 PM) problem is, i can't identify the official ruu, seeing that my desire is an ap set, not a sis one....

QUOTE(Cynox @ Sep 16 2010, 10:08 AM) i find that the root and flash to AuraxTSense + latest radio + calibrate the battery will be the best option for you. My usage patent also similar to samurai and decapix, just that i dun have 3G but my wifi is almost constantly on during the day at home/office. My desire can last for 2 days, if heavy playing some games, battery life will shorten for half a day maybe. But i think the worst battery sucker is the GPS, using GPS software like Papago really drain the battery super fast, thus i keep a usb car charger handy. Cynox, my usage patent also same as yours, no 3G at all but home & office will use Wifi. Quite heavy gaming. Battery life lasted on average 2 days. GPS ar, no way we can survive without a car charger. Sometimes I really missed the normal size USB port when one can find the normal USB cable almost anywhere especially in office. When I forgot to take the mini USB cable & battery is getting low, I really have to limit on my Wifi or gaming. My record battery life is well over 4 days when I purposely tested my Desire with minimal Wifi, fb & gaming. Juz calls & sms. Added on September 16, 2010, 10:44 am QUOTE(chiahau @ Sep 16 2010, 01:12 AM) Gonna ship of Desire 4 Baby Desire HD XD If Desire HD battery life can last 3 days (with heavy gaming+wifi+browsing), existing Desire owners will be tempted lorHaiz pokai 99 soon >"< Anyways, my batt last 3 days actly with minor sms.. 2 days with calls and sms. Games, 3G and photo, 1 day 1/2 Added on September 16, 2010, 11:02 am QUOTE(finalzz @ Sep 15 2010, 06:41 PM) that's my original intention.. sorry, still abit new to the technical jargons. still, would it void my ap warranty? but wouldn't the generic ruu get me the updates too? or is the official ruu much more advisable? Check you warranty conditions with your AP set dealer. I think it should be more relaxed than SIS warranty.You can check ur Software Information and try to get the exact build number from shipped-roms. Once you find the RUU, you can revert back to original in case of claiming warranty. Official RUU or custom ROMS are all up to you to decide. If you require more customization, then of coz go for root+custom roms. This post has been edited by dracozz: Sep 16 2010, 11:02 AM |

Hi guys,
I have searched almost everywhere for a standalone installer for HTC_CIME for our Desire but only managed to find some buggy installers or one made for Hero. Extracted CNSoftKeyboard.apk from original Froyo but did not work in custom ROMs. Any rooted users who can help me find a working HTC_CIME? |
