only thing I can say is to get a better earphone, the stock ones no matter which brand, just sucks.
they're good enough to produce sound, but that's just about it.

plus, there's just isn't anything you can do to help the sound quality as the Desire itself is already a poor music player,
though I'm comparing it with a dedicated mp3 player, so it isn't fair to begin with.
I've even tried using lossless files, their still not up to par compared to a my mp3 player

Personally I'm not using the Desire as my primary portable music player so..I can't really help here. tongue.gif
but if you're looking for a replace for the stock earphones, there are plenty of choices to choose from depending on your budget.

Try to get music player apps with equaliser.

I'm using PowerAmp (i think it's da best out there so far) and coupled with a Creative EP630 (budget basshead IEM).. Enjoying it as much as from other stock MP3 player!

I saw somewhere mentioned Darktremor Apps2SD..

Is there more than a few App2SD+ out there? If yes then which is the best?

has anyone tried alpharev's s-off method? i'm pretty much lost after mounting the .iso file onto a disk...

I did. By the meaning of disk.. are you USB drive or CD/DVD?

Basically after you mount the iso file onto a disk then use the disk to boot your PC (choose your disk drive as a bootable drive before harddisk if you haven't done so).

i got the file mounted on a virtual drive, and i don't really understand the last part...? sorry sad.gif

Mounted on the virtual drive alone is not enough. You need to use the ISO to BOOT the computer. So instead of boot into Windows (i presumed you are using Windows), it will boot into Linux environment to continue the process in automating the S-Off for your Desire.

Have you checked the instructions/tutorial in this link?

i've read somewhere stating that ext4 will shorten your sd live...so be prepare for the worst... smile.gif

Yea. Read about it that the wear & tear rate due to writing counts is higher.. but then there's also argument that by the time that the SD card life expired it would have been long time after the phone being changed to better 1. tongue.gif

Ok i'm done with the Richardtrip Kernel. Now would proceed to venture to enabling Apps2SD on a original Desire ROM. Just to test the theory that Apps2SD+ can be activated without using using custom ROM!

Hmm.. speaking about recovery..

Can nandroid backup file being used by another recovery in restroring the phone?

Eg: I have nandroid backup from clockwork, can I use the backup to be restroed using Amon Ra in future?

if you like ur phone ui to be like iphone, then MiUI is the best rom for you. it have all the iphone user interface features and structure with extra goodies and functions. but for me i'm prefer sense based rom such as aurax because i need those contact integration features in sense widget.

+1 to that.

I still like to stock froyo rom with it's sense integration (mail, contacts, etc) and infact I just flashed to a stock froyo plus little bit of tweaks including super battery circle, richardtrip kernel and A2SD+. Got a Quadrant score of 1599 for it and i'm happy with the speed. tongue.gif

which ROM that you are using

I am using auraxtsense 7.8.1, tweaks including super battery circle and richardtrip Froyo Kernel V5f_HAVS@925mV min No Audiomod version
but i can't get Quadrant score more than 1100

and i've encounter hang when receive call once in the bluemoon

i am staying at 7.8.1 because i need the WIFI tethering

I'm just using the stock froyo rom with init.d support from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997

It's exactly similar to the original rom comes with each new Desire, but this allow for more tweaks and mods eg: super battery circle (better battery display), richardtrip kernel (further battery saving and performance boost), A2SD+ (allowing more freedom of internal memory space), and more updated google apps for Facebook, mail, etc.

This ROM can be flashed directly onto the original rom without full wipe. At least that's work for me, but nandroid backup is still a must! Too bad it does not support Ext4 yet and installing Dark Tremor's A2SD will give it a boot loop.

I believe this is the most stable ROM out there, as it IS the original sense rom issued by HTC anyway. biggrin.gif

This rom would be recommended for people who likes the original ROM but wish for more tweaks and improvement to make it better!

No. The phone was left idle in the box in the drawer. Nobody touched it at all. Is there something wrong with the battery?

If the problem still persist, try to wipe battery info.

If you really want to retain the sense ui ROM at its original taste PLUS custom app2sd to free up the internal memory then you can consider flash into this original stock froyo with init.d support from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997

Partition your SD to have ext3 partition, then install the A2SD mod pack and you will get your apps residing in the internal memory transferred into the ext3 partition automatically.

Do consider to install the super battery circle mod too so that you can check your battery % right off from the top bar.

I'm using this ROM with mods including super battery circle, richardtrip kernel and A2SD+. So far getting good processor performance and good battery saving!

guyz, i have fewq questions to ask...
how to do partition of sd card via rom manager, n while doing partition does dis process removes da data stored in sd card... and, after doing parition of sd card, will i b able to store apps in my sd card.....

thanks in advance... ya'll had been a g8 help for me... thumbup.gif

Personally I would prefer using Amon Ra recovery to partition the sd card, more straight forward and freedom to choose the partition size. But anyway that would mean you gotta know how to flash the Amon Ra recovery if you haven't.

So back to Rom manager. 1st you gotta make sure you have Clockwork Mod recovery flashed via rom manager (the apps will prompt you to do so if you try to partition SD card). Then after a boot up and the ROM manager is convinced that you have the proper recovery it will proceed to ask you to choose the swap size (32MB or none is fine) and partition size (most will agree that 512MB is sufficient).

Correct me if i'm wrong.. the partition created would be in ext2 format.

Do take note that partitioning the SD card will wipe the info on the card, so duplicate the info to other storage and put it back after the sd card is partitioned.

After you partitioned the card, you would need to install the A2SD+ apps (if your ROM does not have it yet) in order to use the ext partition. If the A2SD+ can detect and support your ext format then it will automatically store the apps from internal memory into the ext partition.

My advice is you google and read more about partitioning before attempting it. It can be quite messy if you have no idea what are you doing exactly. Especially on the difference between ext2 vs ext3 vs ext4 and which format is supported by which rom.

I foresee there's load more questions you gonna ask from the info above. So, just ask away! biggrin.gif

Thanks for the clarification! biggrin.gif

Tried partition with ROM manager but re-partitioned it with Amon Ra before I had the chance to know what type of ext the ROM manager partitioned..

Oooh, thanks for the head-up on the new angry bird levels! I've just finished all the four chapters' level last night right before I slept and wondering when would I get to play more of it.

Looks like my wish was answered in freaking good timing!
