Getting my Desire soon so i have some question i hope you guys can help... i did search but i figure out asking will be faster... pardon me if the question is asked before... will unrevoked rooting be enough?

1.) I plan to root... but i dont understand what is the ROM and all... what exactly is that? not the steps, but what are ROMs inside android phones? and why exactly is rooting gives more space?

2.) Micro SD card.. do i simply just slot in or must i do something about it first? if yes what?

3.) It seems to me Leedroid is good i wont ask how to apply... but rather.. will it have the screen and gestures and everything same as the original desire UI? because im impressed with the original one already..

That's all my doubt... for now..

Thanks in advance...

Few pages ago got a how-to-root biggrin.gif Check the first few pages of this thread for more information.

2) Yes uSDHC also works.

3) Yeah. About the same. It's sense Rom...

Anything else?

so the microSD i need to format it using my computer then only slot in? or i can read my card using my desire via usb? anything about making folders or they just come themselves? sorry it's my first htc/smartphone... and i chose desire =x

All good buddy, HTC Desire is ALSO my first smartphone from Nokia..LOL I can tell you, this phone is w00000000t. XD Very glad I chose this over Iphone 3GS. *Not like I wanted Iphone anyway*
You don't really need to format unless you're not on FAT. They will make on it's own for things like App2SD. *Beware, it's BLOODY MESSY*

DCIM folder inside has camera pictures u taken.
You just slot it in.. smile.gif You have to take out the battery to put it in so that makes it NOT hot-swappable.

You can just plug via USB. smile.gif You chose a good phone to start with.

thanks dude... now i'll have to wait for the phone to arrive to ask more questions.. for now im good... i know i chose the right one lol...
