Anyone using OpenDesire here? Wana try it out but notice the rom zip is juz 63.8mb which is quite small compare to AuraxtSense 160mb.

Izit normally this small? Or i downloaded the wrong rom?
*
Yes, it's that small. Previous versions were about 68MB but the latest .28 is just 64MB.
OpenDesire has the most fluid Launcher2 and easily the fastest ROM available for Desire. Small ROM but full of Cynogen customizations inside.

You can install 'Google Pinyin IME' from the market. No handwriting support though.

Thx for the reply guyz. While waiting for the ans, i found out another rom CynogenMod.

Which 1 shall i go for? Coz from i read about, its both from same developer. Correct me if i m wrong.
*
There are many ROMs based on CynogenMod. I have briefly tried a few but fall back to OpenDesire for its simple & super fast ROM.
I am always delighted by its Quadrant score of around 1600 without overclocking.
OD is the most discussed CM rom, so you can get many feedbacks when a new release is launched.

You dun hv to flash another rom.
Try this:
1) Turn off phone
2) Take out battery for at least a minute
3) Go to an open area
4) Start GPS Test and it should lock in less than a minute

Works for me everytime when my GPS can't lock due to a new ROM or havent used my GPS for a long time

Flashing it now, I jumped from OpenDesire because of stability issue on OD
What's your issue?

If you have problem downloading, try starting "Talk" and it will probably trigger the download
*
May I know what's ur stability issues with OD.
I read many BSOD in XDA OD forum due to camera or new radio.
For me, I muz be very lucky. Never once I had those issues.

I'm moving away from vanilla ROM and (happily) stick with LeeDroid 2.1a for my Desire now.

Although sense-based ROM may have its Quadrant score lowered by 200-300, using 100MB more RAM, it's running much, much smoother (moving from homescreen to homescreen is immediate, instead of having to wait 0.5s) than OD / CM. It's the user experience, not the Quadrant score / free RAM that matters

Funny thing is a ported CM6.1 RC0 nightly ROM is running damn smooth in a HTC Legend though  rclxub.gif
*
After using OD for few weeks, i had my first BSOD this morning.
Fully charged my Desire then turn it off. When I wanted to call someone, it failed to turn on.
I noticed the led lights on button lit up but it's a blank screen.
Hope it's just affecting only current version and will be fixed by new version (.30) which was juz released

Ya me too with OD. Playing HD 3D games is really xtra smooth with cyanogen roms.
however, i hope it will be more stable.

Yes, HTC Sense is very fluid! Even with many widgets, it's still very smooth. When I use OD, i really missed many features from HTC.

I once used Cyanogen ROM on my previous Legend. Back then (few months back), it was way too buggy especially the JIT. However, still a usable ROM back then when there isnt many ROMs for Legend.

Guys, do you know which custom ROM that could save on power consumption the most?
*
if u r a light user, with juz smses and few calls per day, any ROM out there is good as most recent ROMs have undervolt kernel. Standy battery time is excellent.
My record was 4 days with light usage.

if u r a heavy user, with 3D games, wifi, 3G, believe me, no undervolt kernel or cpu governor will be significant enough to feed ur battery requirement. so, there is no single ROM out there that will give u extra battery savings.

I was using OpenDesire for sometime and thought it was good but under heavy usage, it will still give only 1.5 days of battery life.

hi guys, i have flashed AuraX rom 7.8.1 last nite.
Before i flash, i actually used rom manager to create ext partition(can't select ext2 or ext3?).

After flash i installed quick info and it indeed shows 512mb of space under Apps2SD. But how do i know Apps2SD is working? AuraX has Apps2SD+ rite? Coz when i install apps, my internal memory is decreasing tremendously, like on stock rom. Now left 80mb+ after around 6 apps installed...

Did i missed anything?

Edit: Oh forgot to mention, the apps are restored from titanium backup 1...
*
Something is wrong with ur a2sd+. 6 apps cant be decreasing internal memory to 80MB. AuraX has a2sd+ and titanium will push everything to sd if nothing is wrong with ur ext2/3.

I suggest u search XDA with strings below:
"a2sd check" & u can easily find & learn adb commands on how to check, reactivate a2sd+ for apps & dalvik

hi all.do you guys have any experience using unrevoke3 cos im searching for guidance here

i have follow all the steps HERE and unrevoke said it is done.but when i check the
bootloader,i found this

BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001

still got S-ON  sad.gif 
mine is Desire S-LCD with 2.2 on it.am i doing something wrong here?
thanks
*
I rooted my Hboot .93 SLCD Desire with a beta version of unrevoked 3
unrevoked will NOT change S-ON nor the Hboot version.
as long as u have the Superuser icon or can go to the recovery screen, then it shud be rooted already.

Did you load custom recovery AmonRa???
For AmonRa, i need to run unrevoked twice to successfully root my desire with AmonRa recovery
at the end of unrevoked, it will always say 'Successful...' but AmonRa is a bit stubborn

If you use the builtin ClockWorkMod recovery, you SHOULD get it rooted in ONE try!

ive only tried rooting my friend's amoled set which is updated to OTA froyo back to hboot 0.80 then use unrevoked to root it. I found the downgrade method in XDA but its hard to find it now. Tried last week but cant find ==" But on that case, its an amoled set. Urs is SLCD. I heard that latest unrevoked supports SLCD and CDMA desire.

Its best to wait until someone here which have rooted their 0.93 SLCD set if you cant find it urself. Surely some people will come and help but please make sure u check first cuz flashing an amoled root will kill ur display. The solution is to flash back RUU for ur set but im not sure if asian version is available  sweat.gif So many things to consider, just be calm and take extra attention to what you are doing  smile.gif
*
No need downgrade method. The unrevoked 3 can be used on latest .93 Hboot SLCD or AMODEL
the only hiccup i faced was loading a custom recovery image like AmonRa
i need to run unrevoked root for a few times to successfully load in AmonRa

Thanks for the input smile.gif  Anyway I already managed to do it via some workaround. You'll be surprised that many ppl actually keep all their data, some as far back as the late 90s! I needed this info from back in 2006 as it relates to my work. Supposed to have more entries dating back to Y2k, but those got lost while syncing on WinMo lol. The only regret now is not being able to transfer my sms messages from my N97 Mini, had to resort to exporting it as a CSV file and saving as an Excel worksheet.

Back to the calendar thing. I've never had any problems in the past, syncing between WinMo or Symbian to Outlook, there was always an option to sync from a prescribed period in years before and after. Just a bit strange that Android only allows from one month ago. It's like trying to say you must back up at least once a month, or some of your older entries will be lost. sad.gif
*
Not me though, my main calendar is also Outlook in my notebook. I sync no more than a month schedule into my mobile.

Why do you have to backup every month? Entries will be lost??? Your main calendar is in your PC/notebook right?

yes, do everything from scratch like you flash rom the first time.

@eddie_lim, I agree with LuffyPSP, 1GB of ext3 will be more than enough.  4GB of ext3 is really waste of space.  You will run out of space for your data instead later when you fill up the FAT32 partition with MP3, videos, etc.
*
yes, 1GB is the max as u will be running out of internal memory before u can even fill up the 1GB ext3

How to flash MIUI? isit oso just put the rom zip file into sd then install from sd? Coz i read the official tutorial from MIUI, they said what downgrade Hboot to 0.83, then have to flash from 2.1 rom blah blah... sounds complicated.

Download MIUI ROM and the English pack from HERE

1) Flash the ROM first with full wipe as this is ur first MIUI flash
2) Reboot to MIUI which will be in chinese
3) Flash again the English pack

If you are coming from Sense or Vanilla ROMs, i guarantee MIUI will be a "refreshing" encounter!
