Desire faces 1 big problem. A pitiful 150MB internal space and it is giving me a lot of pain. Trying to figure out how to root now, failing so far

Anyway, pick the Desire HD if you like Desire.

Hmm I didn't know that, thanks for letting know

I don't know man, I'm not much of an app whore but I'm seriously facing problems especially when a lot of apps are using cache and data builds over time, all on internal memory. Not everyone buys an Android thinking to root man, in itself Android is already SO MUCH better than iPhone, thus the reason why we chose Android. I just rooted right before posting this, couldn't stand low memory anymore lol, and I want Gingerbread!

Eh? How did you get 1GB of internal memory on Desire? Are you sure?

You mean solution for my memory problems or that method will magically give me 1GB of space Anyway, since I'm rooted now time to do those

Yah! Wonder why HTC missed this.

Thanks Nick. Still need to figure out how to change roms.

Man, Rom Manager and Titanium Backup sure makes things so much easier. I've tried MIUI, fantastic I think but the iPhone looks and especially the dialer turned me off a little. Trying Cyanogen 6.1 now. Is 7 stable?

Btw a question. You know in our original HTC ROM, when we dial for a number, it picks up either the number or the letters. But in MIUI, it does not pick up letters, meaning I MUST remember the number of the other person in order to get to him, that is very inconvenient and honestly the very reason that shy me away from MIUI. Is it like that or am i doing something wrong?

Really...? Wow... How do you guys make calls then... Its so extremely tedious not able to find by name...

Still... Dialing via Name is the easiest lol. Ohh wells guess its something I'll have to live with. Btw, does flashing CM really takes so long? I'm looking at the CM bootup for at least half an hour now.

Using ROM Manager to do all my flashing stuff. So looks like I hit a wall now, is it save to shut down my phone and try to do things manually?

Went into ClockWorkMod and flash my phone back to MIUI. Will follow your steps and flash CM7 Now that I've done it... rooting and flashing is pretty safe... How come people make it to be so dangerous? Or I've not encounter the dangerous part yet?

Yes man, I can totally image what you were going through lol!

Could be overheating like Faiz said... Not sure about others... Check the temperature.

When you flash a ROM, does the Kernal change as well?

Hmm got CM7 build 25 up but where's the market lol. Cant sync google contacts too.

I see. How do you install those additional things? I've downloaded one and don't see any AKP files. Really appreciate your help. And thanks Tyja for explaining about kernals

Cool thanks! Managed to do it

Apparently I was using an old version of MIUI, cant even change themes. Change to the latest one and everything works fine now But it only traces the first letter in each word, its good enough

Thing about this is we cant browse for paid apps. Need to figure out a little.

Nick, or anyone, I used ROM manager to create an ext3 partition on my SD card, however what can I use to move apps there? My current options are Titanium, and what it does is move things to my SD card not ext3, then I have normal ones which doesn't move things to ext3 as well. MIUI Rom comes with A2SD+ so I should be able to transfer apps to the ext3 but so far I've not been able to do it, or at least control when it is stored on ext3.

P/s I know Darktremor's A2SD+ is available but I'm not sure if its compatible with MIUI since its not listed under the compatible list.

I was like you, struggling until 1 day I couldn't take it and rooted + flashed my rom, and now I'm here thinking I shoulda done it a long time ago! Do it! You wont regret it.

Hmm? My phone is connected to my company's exchange and I can receive mails just fine, just that it will enforce some policies on my phone. Where are you stuck at?
