For me i just root the device, then using root explorer, navigate to system/app then i can delete whatever app i wanted

guys, im new to android. can u explain to me about rooting and the mods..

im newbie either.. hopefully i got it correct..

rooting is gaining full user access into the system. well, u will know this well enough if u r a unix/linux user. for example, rooting can turn security off, allow flashing of 3rd party rom (unofficial rom other than htc) bcaz no security mechanism to check on the rom's checksum.

besides, by gaining to root access, u able to use some apps, such as take screenshot (using shootme), or over / underclock your cpu. u can even change kernel to change more flexible overclock range.

corerct if im wrong alright? im new..

im sorry for 1 new post. just wanted to ask u guys that.. wat rom r u guys using now?

i found there is currently too few rom in development for g2.

1)virtuous
2)CM7 nightly build (what pocketnow editorial using ATM)
3)3 teamvillian rom (supervillain, vanilla villain, and GingerVillain 1.5 )
4)modaco sense rom <- i always cant boot once flash this rom. twice for me.

im using virtuous ATM. cant really live without sense.. lol

any better suggestion for me to test? is gingervillain + launcherpro better ?

below is my shots..

Hi, I'm currently a Galaxy S user. I'm loooking for a new phone with trackpad to replace it.
I'm considering blackberry torch, blackberry bold 9780, and desire Z. I need to reply lots of e-mail, and using web-app.

Can the desire z select text in browser/e-mail, using only trackpad (without using touch screen)?

Does desire z have any LED indicator on missed call/email/sms? galaxy s has no LED indicator....i've to turn the screen on to do so........

How's the battery life on desire z with 3g turn on all the way? BB seems to have excellent battery life.....

i cant make it without touching the screen to highlight anything i wan. even with touch the Capacitive touch screen is badly performed. comparing to nail sensitive resistive touch and fingernail touch. arghh, bad. im still learning to use my thumb properly.

desire z do have LED indicator. my trackpad will blink as well whenever there is notification. so its fine for me.

battery life in BB always pwn thanks to their unique BIS. i couldnt comment much on battery life, data is expensive in where im now. but my wifi is 24/7 on, with coverage throughout my campus, my G2 can hop point to point without DC. i can have my battery life from 8am to 12am.

downside of BB is lacks of application to enhance the system, plus the BIS is so expensive. major people will rather sacrifice all that on BB and get android anyway. but if your email is as important as ur business, then BB is the way i would say.

im used to using my thumb to highlight with my ipod..doubt this'll be a problem

Why not give miui rom a try? I using it now and I liked it...its much faster compared to sense based rom I used previously like virtouos..but few I messed on sense incd integration and the copy and paste system.. but do worth give miui a try. Sense based rom for me is just too ram hogging.

the phone you have to pay on the spot(full amount)....
and it depends which call package you take....as for me i took...
rm 50 call plan+ 500mb package(rm58) = RM 108 = rebate monthly - rm 10= rm98(monthly)
8gb sd card is already inside the phone

Desire Z user reporting in...

How do you do manual spring tightening?

ohhhh ... because i saw them having promotion but its rm128 per month with 3gb data plan
lol ... thanks for info

I won't consider doing extensive typing on a mobile device.

Selecting items using only trackpad would be a bit strenuous coz you'll need to keep swiping down on the trackpad, by then your thumb would've travelled the same distance as with if you just used the screen.

Regarding LED, the stock functions are to show battery low and charging. Apparently 'LED Me Know' doesn't require root for the full function (but needed for other phones). It allows you to customise the LED for many types of notification.

djfoo can u make a user list?

want user list for what?

I'll link to your review of the phone if you write one.

jst wanna knw hw many vision users are there..

regarding the bar graph above, how to do that? using what application?

how to check which rom i have? sigh, dunno how to play with this thing. haha..

Bar graph is the results of a benchmark. The benchmark is done by using an app called 'Quadrant Standard'.

If you have not rooted or anything, you have stock ROM. Can be found under About Phone -> Software Information.

dixon, im waiting for ur reply

hi im planning to get a G2, any tips to test it when i cod?

great to see you here, uzumaki!

Any specific reasons to get G2 as opposed to DZ?

Erm, test GPS lock time, camera, flash, speaker. That's about it I guess.
