Brothers. I'm planning to change my N8 to Desire. Wise move? Attracted to the customization possibilities of Android.

well, u re losing the camera if u use that... and HTC is never famous for having nice camera phones...

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 sad.gif

Anyway, pick the Desire HD if you like Desire.

that is, if spikey dun mind the low battery life... that's a real deal killer...

uber large monitor with a large ROM and new Snapdragon does sound yummy, but only 1250mAh for battery? wat the hell is HTC thinking? it's the main reason y i picked Desire over DHD...

how abt Amethyst RC7? pretty tempting looking at the change log...

and also, with CM7 nightly, is it necessary to update the ROM regularly?

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?  sweat.gif

Apps2SD and Data2SD... laugh.gif

Went into ClockWorkMod and flash my phone back to MIUI. Will follow your steps and flash CM7 smile.gif 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?

more like ppl re paranoid... when they dun see graphic...

i was scare too when i was rooting my Hero last time, and there was no such thing as one-click root back then... everything is done on Windows (and 32-bits Windows to be specific)... can imagine the stress laugh.gif

this is because your current sensor did not detect much lux to trigger to correct brightness. you can always set min brightness

cm setting -> display -> auto backlight

tick use custome and edit other level. there you can set min value vs lux reading

can u elaborate on this? i got blur after i get into "Other Level"... rclxub.gif

like this.
if your surrounding is between 100-300 lux by default set value is 35 (minimum set by default).
you can change this value to up 255=100% brightness. if you change default value let say 65. min setting will go as low as 65 only.
you can play around this value that suit you eyes. if you set min value too high, you must consider if you are in no light environment.

math
(65/255)*100%= 25% brightness

my setting is like below

lower    upper    screen    button
0            199      65          0
200        399      100        0
400        999      150        0
1000      2999    200        0
3000      infinity  255        0

button is for your hardware key backlight

thanks for the explanation mate thumbup.gif
