holy f-cking shi-

but I'll wait for Neophyte's version

hey just want to share this, its not directly related to Desire, but more to Android
take a look at this home screen app, "Slick UI"
its still under development, but there are preview videos already,
feel like there's plenty of potential in this one.



short intro on how this home screen app comes into development:

anyone can post some hands-on impression on how SenseHD ROM is compared to default Sense ROM?

ownheredesireHD uses data2ext right?

how big is our internal storage now?

everything's working fine?

as I've already posted in the recommendation thread,
you should definitely get this phone.
I got it for RM1.9k AP set, and still I feel that its worth every penny spent.
what more for 1.6k? GET IT. NOW.

there isn't any problem with AP set at all, the difference is only warranty.
so don't worry too much about it.

the only known issue with Desire, is the multi touch problem as it only supports 2 point multi touch,
the issue is the same with every set of Desire,
it does not affect daily application, but might affect a little in gaming that requires more than 2 point multi touch

I know, I just wanted to make it easy for people to understand,
no point being so technical about it.

plus as long as it works and does not affect daily usage,
does it really matter if the multitouch is faulty or not?

but the fact is it really does not matter
If I did not mentioned about the issue, I belief he might not even know about it

the only problems I've seen so far due to the multitouch issue is
not being able to play multiplayer Air Hockey,
secondly is the multitouch benchmark testing,
and.. that's about it.
which is very insignificant.

also, if you didn't know about it, Nexus One has the same issue.

reflash/reinstall

yea, we can already flash Gingerbread ROM lol,
but it is still in its very early development stage actually

not very sure about the pros and cons

but iinm, the obvious difference is that Amonra allow user to partition SD card for more than 512MB while Clockwork max at 512MB

I'm using Amonra, no issue at all, works perfectly fine.

anyone tried ReflexTSenseHD ROM? its Sense HD ROM from Neophyte seems to be stable after reading the feedbacks

let me share something new that I've discovered yesterday when flashing the latest AuraxTSense 8.14,
when flashing a new ROM, naturally I will cook a new theme from UOT Kitchen
there's this new "windows UI animation" section where it changes the transition animation of windows,
it makes the UI feels fresh again which is cool,
here's a video showing one of the animation choices that I'm currently using, "Fly"


there are another 3 choices, "Bounce", "Flip", and "Fold,
I've tried flashing flip and fold animation, but failed to make it work on my phone,
after flashing everything seems fine, except the animation is not showing
so I've gave up and stick with fly animation, which is still visually stunning

got bored of Sense ROM already?

CONGRATS!

to check your Android version, go to settings -> About phone -> Software information

app2SD is a built in feature from Froyo (Android 2.2), if you are on 2.2,
then you should have app2SD already
to check if you have app2SD or not,
download Quick System Info.

if you are going for a new memory card, no matter what size you're going for,
make sure you're going for the highest class available,
higher class = higher read/write speed
higher storage memory card wont slow down the phone, but low class card might.
I'm using Kingmax 8GB Class10, pretty satisfied with the performance.

if you don't root your phone, you wont void your warranty, and vice versa.

em.. if I get your meaning correctly, yea the class is the number "10",
there are different classes though, 2, 4, 6, etc..

sadly, there isn't any hole for hanging accessories,
except maybe if there's any phone case that has the hole built in,
which I haven't seen any of it.

if you're really desperate to hang your accessory on your phone,
what you can try is, get a phone case that has holes then you try to can hang your accessory on it,
personally not using any hp accessories, so I can't help much

for charging battery, about 8 hours should be good,
also you might want to calibrate your battery while you're at it,
link on how to do battery calibration here.

If your screen can rotate, then there shouldn't be any problem with it already,
it might be slow because you're not used to the orientation yet?
do note that the default homescreen of Desire won't rotate like what edwinlcw said,
if you want a rotating homescreen, you can try other homescreen, such as LauncherPro, ADW, etc.

the CN Thai keyboard settings, is the settings for the CN Thai keyboard (duh)
same as Vietnamese IME,
CN Thai is for inputing CN and Thai characters,
if you're not using it, you don't have to bother with it.
also, just in case you didn't know about this,
you can switch your input keyboard by long pressing on any text input area (e.g sms space)
then it will prompt a window saying "Input method",
click on it, then you can choose the keyboard that you want to use from there.
btw a small tip when inputting text, you can use the track pad to navigate between letters
just in case when you typed wrongly, instead of pointing at the word, you can use the track pad

you mean you could have restored your SMSes earlier if you did restored your dialer storage?

CN is Chinese,

the "orientation" I mean is the "angle" to trigger your screen to start rotating the screen,
so you don't have to do it anywhere, just need to get used to the way your phone behave

for the case, I think its worth it considering the phone isn't cheap in the first place,
plus there are not a lot of cases that allow you to hang your phone accessories

find gallery 3d from market and install it
group your photos using folders,
you can create the folders using astro file manager
then gallery 3d will show your photo album grouped according to the folders

youtube?
beside watching video from the youtube website it self,
there's also an youtube app that you can use to stream youtube videos.

if you want to download youtube video straight from your phone,
you can try tubemate

couldn't you do that already without any kind of app?
especially internet browser, you can set whichever that you want as default when there's a prompt for you, isn't it?
or am I missing something here?

I'm on auraxt 8.1.4, very stable for me, never experience any kind of force close or auto restart so far,
plus I've even flashed custom theme for it too.
