Speaking as a user who will probably root his phone (and who has rooted other phones in the past), it does make sense for phone manufacturers/networks to not provide easily hackable phones for several reasons:

1). The reason you don't have root by default is that it makes it very very easy for a malicious program to do nasty things. The same reason why I don't log in as root to my linux servers unless it's absolutely required - i can accidentally (or intentionally) do stupid things as root that I could not do as a normal user

2). HTC provides a warranty for the phone. Easy access to root would lead to (again) doing silly things llike flashing a bad radio and bricking the phone...leading to HTC having to replace the phone

Speaking as someone who rooted his Magic, I find that I have had no need to root my Desire as of yet (the main reason the Magic was rooted was to install a custom recovery so that I could flash unsigned ROMs to get Android 2.x or Sense on my Magic, both of which I already have on the Desire).

[Desire General] FloatingFatMan:
I can understand reasonable restrictions, but I really can't fathom the reason why they try so damned hard to stop us customizing our devices.

They should make an app for it, but make damned sure that the user is told that IF they unlock root access, they'll invalidate their warranty.
[Desire General] jm997:
It's mostly so HTC and the carriers won't have to answer thousands of support request from clueless owners who installed a app which ruins the OS.

You see, root access literally means "full access permissions", that means you can actually delete everything on the phone, including system files. Couple this degree of access with a marketplace like Android has and you soon have a real mess (when apps screw up or someone programs a virus app).

From an HTC point of view, I think it shouldn't be possible for anyone to mess up their phone to the point it becomes unusable. That's why there is no root support on the devices.

As for leaving the experienced user the choice: Do you actually think any normal user reads the part where it says "voids your warranty"? They'll go crying to HTC if something goes wrong and blog about how crappy and slow their phone (with root) is, while HTC have absolutely no control over the user experience.
[Desire General] salahag:
The reasons why I rooted my Hero:

1. Flash a 2.1 rom.

2. Use Market Enabler to show paid applications in the Market. (I don't understand why this is disabled in some countries, when I'm allowed to create a Google Checkout account.)

3. Enable APS2SD. (It bugs me that even though Android doesn't allow installing apps on the SD card till now, high-end phones (AKA Desire) are still made with a 512MB ROM)
[Desire General] FloatingFatMan:
I'm not asking why people have rooted, I'm asking why we should HAVE too. Things like APS2SD are perfectly legitimate reasons to need root access, and we shouldn't have to be forced to invalidate our warranty just to get some functionality that Google haven't implemented in their OS yet.
[Desire General] slaming:
well at least its one up from an iphone! i mean seriously at first you had to "jailbreak" to get coppy and paste, and thats just one example.

Anyone here who is employed by sprint, I am a lesser known hero rom developer, who has been involved here since back in November. I am interested in pursuing my own work based off the latest RUU release candidate. I am looking for a copy of this if you would be willing to leak it to me.

I can guarantee that I will keep your identity in strict confidence. Rather than reply to this thread, please contact me via PM or GTalk, my google id is the same as my xda username.

[Hero CDMA General] cteneyck:
this is why i don't release my roms. its an open source os and people hack up some framework changes and add some apks. i have asked flipz for his .29 kernel source. and haven't heard a word from him. i pointed out some of his posts where he posted that he made modifactions to the .29 kernel. how did this happen without some sort of source. damage gets a leaked sprint rom. roots it and adds the superuser.apk. good luck oblesk

why not just offer a "finders" fee? you can make it up by asking for donations once you get your "source"
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
Greed baby, greed. Instead of sharing the spotlight they hog it all to themselves. Finding a 2.1 leak seems to be like trying to find a needle in a pile of pins. Screw the haystack, it's too easy.
[Hero CDMA General] Joecrack305:
well as ive leaked before lol i work for sprint, and personally we dont get **** in advanced except phones lol. even at that its a big let-down a lot of times.
[Hero CDMA General] illushinz:
Noob question here - are we unable to find/get the RUU files because A) even though Android is open source, Sprint's RUU is proprietary? B) It's a profit game and we pay for service to have our phones reset to factory at the Sprint store?

Hey folks. Was wondering if one of you metamorph wiz's could work this. When I get a Google talk message I'd love to see the attached icon (albeit smaller) in the top notification bar instead of the stock icon. The stock is super boring. I'm using a black bar mod if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance! :)

here's the morph

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nick_Hrh:
I get a white square around the icon

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] senorbuck:
Ya, I saw that. I wanted something for the notification bar. Not the app icon.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] agriff:
Here is the icon in the stock blue color, if anyone is interested.

If you've already applied the morph above, just use a file manager app to find the Android Themes folder on your sd, find the gtalk_stat_icon morph, and replace the .png file in the correct folder with this one. Apply the existing theme with Metamorph.
[Desire General] Jivebunny:
When linked to my Exchange server. It's strange though, since my Htc Hero has no issues whatsoever with this. I can begin to type any name in the To: field and it start suggesting receivers. Now with the Desire, I get no name completion/suggestions whatsoever. It does however work in the recipient fields in for example the SMS application.

Anybody else experience this?

Running 2.1-update1 as is.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire General] jstegeman:
Hi jivebunny,

Mine suggests names just fine (from history usage or from my contacts). What is does not do is to suggest names from the full corporate directory (this could take a lot of network/time if you have a big corporate directory). If you want to do that, click the little person icon next to the "to:" list and you can search your corporate directory.

John
[Desire General] Jivebunny:
Hi John,

Thanks for the reply, this is what I also found, yet how do you control these settings? I've synced my contacts onto the phone through activesync (or does it not work like that anymore?), yet it will suggest nothing when it comes to emails. If I indeed press the little contactperson I get corporate contacts as base, and clicking that again leads to device contacts. Is there a way to change the default setting for that?

I'd rather it not search through the corporate list, since it's big and slow indeed.

I searched and tried a lot of things, but no option found for this.

Thanks again!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taylang:
Sorry but I cannot find any other suitable title for my problem. At the beginning when I first flashed to NextDesire Rom (which is lovely by the way) and logged onto facebook my HTC Calendar Synced with facebook calendar about my friends birthdays. Although I never examined the whole calendar about dates but most of the birthdates were present. But when I restarted my device yesterday, all the facebook events dissapeared. I checked the calendar settings and Facebook calendar was not there either. I thought that I should resync my device so that I pushed SYNCALL button; funny thing that I realized Facebook Calendar sync PARTLY and randomly. sometimes a few birthday entires appear in calendar sometimes don't. If you can help me about this problem i will be really grateful. On the other hand N1 is the best phone I have ever used.:cool:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
That theme is based on alpha build 11. MoDaCo has released alpha 21, it could have been fixed in a newer version if it was a bug.

Some people say a21 is slower than a19, so make a backup and try both and see if syncs fully.

Chances are even reflashing the rom after a fresh wipe will fix it.

Thank you evilkorn i will give it a try

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dantegl36:
I guess increasing your font size will get you better results from developers :rolleyes: being more tactful will probably help you in this case or offering to pay a developer, or heck you could even TRY developing it on your own and asking for assistance during your program development. But crying for someone to make you a program and then increasing your font size in an arrogant attempt to talk over someone will not get you to your goal. My two cents...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] otokirvalidze18:
ha ha ha

well said "dantegl36". i totally agree with you.

hes not asking hes demanding plus with a huge font size "LOL"

if i was a developer.... there is nooooooo way i would even bother making something like that after reading his "demand".

Hi Fellow Leo Komrades

Just thought id share some good news ( on my part anyway )

Quick run down , purchased nice shiney HD2 , screen developed newton ring

sent back to HTC , screen replaced , HTC returned nice shiney HD2 with

new screen and locked O2 ROM , spent 3 weeks fighting with HTC for unlock code

gave up with HTC and puchased unlock code from net , have lovely shiney HD2

unlocked happy camper.

Moving house , day off from work , work phone up , irrate client , drop phone

on gravel drive way , heart drops , stress levels rise , pick phone up , scratched

screen to buggery , depression sets in , valium helps.

anyway , if anyone has a scratched display and doesnt want to go along the route

of 10000 grade sand paper / toothpaste / brasso / dremel / angle grinder. then you

should really really look at the ZAGGS Invisible Shield.

After fitting i now have a perfect display , can not even see the scratches anymore

a top class product.

Just though Id share that with the masses
[HD2 General] Shum97:

[Desire General] Wekkel:
I have not succeeded in doing so and, therefore, now use BlueRSS without a widget.
[Desire General] Rutter:
Yep, I couldn't get more than one to show in the widget at a time either. A very strange oversight I think. I even went through the hassle of exporting my google reader feeds and importing into the news widget.

Anyway, installed netashare (free) which syncs with google reader and is rather tasty indeed (no widget mind).
[Desire General] assimilator:
This isn't good news, no pun intended, because I love rss feeds. Incidentally, when you double/ single tap to open the actual widget, does it show the second subscription at all? There must be a way of showing threaded rss feeds for each subscription, otherwise what is the point. I'll check all the youtube review videos and see if I can find anything. Either way let us now if you figured it out cause I'm getting this phone myself next month.
[Desire General] ragmanchu:
its simple, press and hold the screen so its highlighted and drag it down to the bottom to delete the widget.

then press the plus key at the bottom right and select widget.

then select "news"

then press the "select" button (making sure you choose widget style 1 of 2)

then select "All stories" which is just below the "Add feeds" button

hope that helps
