yeah i might do, although it takes ages to upload the ROMs to the server,

my beta took 20minuets... which is strange coz it should have taken 1-5 mins...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] aum108:
WM6.1 ROMs ?

Thanks for that.

However, all the explicitly WM6.1 ROMs have broken filebox links.

I'm interested in trying out some WM6.1 ROMs, to see if TCPMP can run on WM6.1. It definitely does not run on WM6.5, which is a bit of a dealbreaker. TCPMP (including its you tube/mobytube plugins) is one app I definitely can't do without.

Cheers

look in ROM Development, Cooked ROMs is even stickied. Please try and read or do a bit of search as many people are asking the same questions again and again - which is why we sticky important threads, and why we have a Wiki (see my sig)

Is there going to be an upgrade for the desire ?

Would love that ! (Flash)

Any body got some info ?
[Desire General] jankos:
of course will be, the question is when? ;)
[Desire General] well0549:
thats quick ....
[Desire General] olly230:
Are we talking months or weeks untill 'droid 2.2 comes out

The internet is being a bit tight lipped.

The deisre is lovely, but not finished yet.

flash is nice, divx is vital and 720p video is something I wsan't expecting...

How are we going to get it when its released?

Will it be a user ROM style hardware flash through PC sync or will i just download a file to my phone, click go and 10minutes later my phone is amazing??

(i'm having fun wiping smug faces of iphone owning freinds as they ask what phone I have and i show them, then tell them I've got it for £15/mnth :D )
[Desire General] zaphyr:
you'll get it here on XDA as usual. ready to be flashed on your device as any other ROM ;)
[Desire General] rak500:
2.2 aka Froyo: maybe next week!!!

I read this on engadget:

Engadget's post about Froyo

I don't really want to root my phone as it's I think really good as it is but I wouldn't say no to Froyo! especially since it apparently boosts performance a lot!

Quote form Engadget: "Update: How much faster is a Nexus One running Froyo? 450 percent faster, according to the Android Police. They claim to have a device running the as-yet-unreleased firmware that can perform over 37 million floating-point operations per second in the Linpack benchmark... compared to about 7 megaflops without. Oh yeeaaah."

:D
[Desire General] neoKushan:
As soon as a Froyo rom leaks, people will rip it apart and mod it to hell to get it to run on all kinds of devices. I'm sure we'll see Paul make a 2.2 Desire ROM, for example and now that HTC has released the Kernel source code, it should be easier to port existing quality roms like Cyanogenmod to the device. They'll all require root access to flash as they're unofficial roms. HTC will probably eventually port Froyo themselves, but that will probably take months.

Still, 2.2 hasn't shown up yet, so no dice. We'll have to wait until google I/O before that happens ;)
[Desire General] inkredi:
it's going to be loooong till HTC themselves release it..but as soon as its out for nexus we'll see it here on xda in no time!
[Desire General] stingerpl:
If you don't want to root & use a cooked ROM I wouldn't count on having it earlier than 6 months from now.

HTC needs to change Sense UI for Android 2.2 and looking at the Hero, which STILL does not have 2.1 I wouldn't expect it to be quick.
[Desire General] inkredi:
Exactly... I had a hero myself and in order to get 2.1 ....what did I do???

I sold the hero and got a desire :p
[Desire General] kvmanohar:
will 2.2 allow us to install apps on SD card??
[Desire General] pistonripper:
It better....otherwise I'm selling my desire...what a waste of phone, can only install a handful of apps. I bet its restricting developers too.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Oh don't be so dramatic. I could fit loads on mine just fine. And i rooted and installed apps2sd anyway. Don't get any Android phone if you expect to be able to install millions of apps.
[Desire General] Lacroix92:
Yeah, we will get it as a Custom Rom in the next few days and from HTC in several months ;)
[Desire General] ffb:
Same here, haha, I think many people have done this. Nexus one was not available yet in my country so I purchased the Desire. Will definitely flash 2.2 on this baby though. No way i am going to wait for HTC anymore.
[Desire General] deeren:
Months?? Seeing how things are going with the hero, I'd say they'll release it to the desire once the 2.3 is out. So better think of it as next year.
[Desire General] -A-P-M-:
IMO Desire's owners are very important for HTC, since we are buying their flagship phones. I think they must keep us satisfied, if not, we will buy different phone next time. And I won't be happy if Nexus One owners will get 2.2 and we will not.
[Desire General] besuikerd:
BTW isnt the evo 4g an Android 2.2 phone quz 2.1 didn't support 4g correct me if im wrong but if it is the update for the desire wont cost them so much time to port.

450% FASTER?! HOLYY SHIITT!!! :eek: I cant waaiiit!!! :P
[Desire General] robbiekhan:
That's not 450% all the way around the OS you do realise.
[Desire General] assente:
Does 450% faster mean that Asphalt5 will run smoothly? I hope :P
[Desire General] The Professor:
In fact, Linpack grossly overestimates the speed increase because it's ridiculously optimized for JIT implementations. Realistic boosts are closer to 1.5-2.5x, not 4.5x.

Still a nice boost, but Linpack is just misleading.

Android 2.2

Android 2.2 (froyo) is being released around 19/20th May, so theres a solid date you can wait for and not check online everyday lol, but obviously this will be for nexus one at first as it will take HTC a while to release their own version, but who knows, they can surprise us, the release of Desire is very different to the release of the Hero, getting 1st place in top 15 worlds best phones on techradar' was not what HTC was excepting I guess and maintaining that would be on their agenda...somewhere. Details I currently know is that 2.2 will have flash 10.1, performance speed increase (around 450% some beta testers reported), better battery life, built-in USB and WiFi tethering (although this will depend on network as well), not so sure on the 720p recording as that news seems to have died down and most importantly there is a large Froyo model outside Google HQ =P

But rooted ROMs at XDA is always an option to those willing to take it =D

Oh and I emailed HTC about 2.2 - will update on reply.
[Desire General] neoKushan:
In the short term, it'll probably boil down to you deciding what you want more - 2.2 or Sense.
[Desire General] A|ex:
I dont see HTC updating to 2.2 any time soon, there is no rush to update
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
Are you suggesting we will be stuck with the memory restrictions for a while yet?
[Desire General] Phil750123:
Well, from htc stock record with updates i would say months too , i cant remember installing a big update to my diamond ever!

But im hoping ( maybe stupidly) that as this phone seemed to have a lot of hype about how it would support hd recording and full flash when it was released etc..

that htc have a nice deal with google to get it out fairly sharpish??

Plus being on t-mobile, non-rooted, having to wait til t mobile upgrade their rom too! So anyone on orange rom, expect to wait even longer!

Im just hoping so much that htc get their act together now there with the big boys. (i.e. have the bulls to try and sue apple etc..)

Or looks like root is coming for me :P
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
Is it hard to root the HTC Desire? I'm I'm waiting past June in to July for a fix to this ridiculous app memory restriction, I'll have no choice. I'm constantly hitting the memory wall now!
[Desire General] herghost:
Nope, very easy! Loads of guides about, takes no more than 20 mins from start to finish.

I think thats because when you uninstall Apps it still leaves parts behind, or so I read
[Desire General] nicelad_uk:
For all those people saying that compared to the Hero, the upgrade will take ages...

I understand where you are coming from, they shafted us really with the Hero, but, also how long did it take them to release the kernel? That was ages too.

Its only been a month or so and they have released the kernel already, maybe this is a sign to say they have taken their heads from out of their arses and realise people aren't gonna put up with it anymore. That being the case, HOPEFULLY Froyo won't be far behind.
[Desire General] tuatha:
I've heard that a big part of the problem with the Hero was hardware limitations.
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
How different is Hero to Desire hardware? Maybe there is hope for us. Is there any speed or other difference with running apps off memory card?
[Desire General] flitjes:
If it will be released for the nexus there is a good change we will receive it pretty soon to because nexus and desire are so similair. Only problem could be sense maby but I've read somewhere on xda that 2.2 is very similair to 2.1 except for flash support, battery life improvement and speed improvement.

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping it will be released very soon(offical from HTC).
[Desire General] -A-P-M-:
Desire have same hardware as Nexus One, which will first get 2.2 .
[Desire General] wihandw:
Any news from HTC?
[Desire General] Aitese:
Can people stop saying this? It's one of the most if not THE most annoying responses to this problem there is. It's obnoxious and unhelpful and shows a clear lack of understanding. Yes, in a 10MB space I could install 20 500Kb apps. But it also means I can only install 2 5MB apps. Saying "I have loads" means nothing. I installed the Mens Health app and it took up 20MB+, as did Google Earth and the Fennec beta demanded 40MB+.

Some people like full featured apps, some people like small utilities that perform a specific task. All users are different. Jumping in with the frankly rude reply as you did is not what community forums should be about.

Looks like we could be waiting up to December - who is considering rooting? All I want is app2sd so I actually install and use apps - I can live without everything else.
[Desire General] gringooo:
Yes, but that means that it could be July or August also :)
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
They probably thought like that for the Hero too. I am looking for good reasons not to root, anyone?

Froyo

Here is a portion of the official HTC statement regarding Froyo upgrades:

[...] if your phone was launched this year, we will most likely offer an upgrade for it to the Froyo version. This includes popular models like the Desire and Droid Incredible as well as hotly anticipated phones like the Evo 4G, MyTouch slide and upcoming models. We will announce a full list of phones and dates once we are closer to launching the upgrades. We are working closely with Google and our other partners to ensure we have the earliest access to everything we need to provide a complete and solid Sense experience on Froyo. We expect to release all updates in the second half of this year but can't be more specific yet.
[Desire General] 554321:
An Official Response from hTC

It took much longer than you claimed to release the Éclair update for the Hero and Droid Eris, how do we know the Froyo won't be delayed too?

We have learned much from our first software upgrade experience and have taken all that into account when providing this estimate. While we are fairly sure this timeframe is accurate, we cannot guarantee it 100%. We won't rush to release an upgrade that is not ready for you to use without fear of problems, but we will do our best to hit our target.
[Desire General] Balos:
If I could I would have bought the Nexus one instead of this Desire HTC Sense crap. At last I would have a brand new os when its released. Now I'm one step behind each time. I will never buy another branded crap again in my life. Not that Samsung is any better here. Just saying.

Always thought the beauty of Android and linux is that you get live updates. But there is actually not a single update to this buggy os yet. You still have to wait on official firmwares and so.

I will most likely root it soon and risk bricking the device and lossing the warranty and if It happens, I will go throw it at store I bought it from and go with an Iphone instead. LOL
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
Well better get used to waiting buddy.. HTC's record is pretty abysmal.

So.... what are the reasons NOT to root? I get a memory warning EVERY morning and it's driving me CRAZY!!!

It's like I've gone back to the 80s when 10MB was a LOT of HD space!
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
Blah blah blah blah blah... Same crap.

I'll give them to July and then root the bloody thing, risk of bricking or not.

The reports of random bricking is a real worry though.
[Desire General] Somel:
Some Users of Nexus one already have the 2.2...:eek:
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
Yep it's rolling out while HTC sit on their arse while we have 16GB memory cards and 1980s era application space restrictions.

May as well go back to bloody Pacman too, about the only thing that won't kill the memory.

What's their problem??? All they have to do is port bloody HTC Sense to and all its applications to 2.2, how hard can that be??
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Well, create your own company and produce telephones and find out. Obviously it's not that easy to update.

On the other hand however, I can't imagine HTC doesn't have a faster way of rolling out these updates. It's in their interest (less costs, better image) and the customers interest. You would think that as a whole it would benefit HTC a lot.

And then I'm not talking about this from a developers point of view. If HTC's updates really take this long when some update is here (which they knew from the start would happen), then it's a major failure from their development department.
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
Don't XDA get their ROMs out pretty fast? I don't understand why HTC would need up to 7 months to get out a ROM update from 2.1 to 2.2, when all they are doing is porting Sense. Or why can't we get a patch for 2.1 to allow app2sd? If they could do that *one* thing I think most concerns would be resolved as it is an otherwise almost flawless device. I hope it is case of under-promise / over-deliver, rather than an accurate timeline.
[Desire General] abc27:
They unlike custom rom makers have to fully test out their roms before shipping. It won't look good for them if they release a buggy rom.
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
Never stopped Nokia. Oh ... wait .. that's why Nokia's market share collapsed despite all their protestations otherwise about 'not a threat'. Good point.

Even so, it won't look good if they sit on Froyo for 7 months either. If I were HTC I'd sign up a few XDA Developers to voluntarily beta-test with a mountain of disclaimers and NDA's all over it. Billion modems did that with their firmware and it worked great. Saves cost, gets firmware out faster, and those who like to be on the bleeding edge get to be. Everyone's a winner.
[Desire General] abc27:
Or if they'd co operate with developers on XDA to try and speed up the process, that would be brilliant.
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
That's what I'm saying. It fits in with the spirit of Linux / open source, lowers costs, gets updates out faster.. I can't for the life of me imagine why a company wouldn't do that, except for fear of disclosure. Except with Android it's all open anyway so what's the harm? A buggy beta could not damage the brand with an adequate recovery feature and solid disclaimers and NDAs. Put some sort of traceable signature in each ROM if they're worried about disclosure, I don't know. Maybe you XDA gurus and us n00bs can all write to HTC and suggest this? I'm happy to, if others will join me. I'd risk a buggy beta to just be free of memory warnings ever morning when I turn the damn thing on.
[Desire General] abc27:
I'd happily beta test, i'd prefer an unstable version of 2.2 rather than a stable 2.1
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
Great, so that's a big two of us.. Who else is in? I'd estimate we'd need at least a hundred before HTC would take any notice.. and boy I'm happy to do it. I'm desperate. Would give us a chance to give feedback on what we want to see as well. I've seen this work for many other companies (have been on their beta test programmes).
[Desire General] alio993:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jettrue:
I'm using some guys guide for mac users:

My few questions...

Do I really need SDK? I've been reading a lot, and some say use it, some don't mention it.

I've already found that some of his files are updated, so I'd be using the more recent ones.

Also, I'm thinking that I'm NOT going to mess with the radio. I don't have to, right?

ETA: And then I see that his post says nothing about superboot. Am I supposed to do both? Fastboot and then superboot?

And then another question... I plan on getting a 16gb class 6 sd card. Should I wait to do this until I get that? Will I have to do it all over again?

Thanks!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcpeggs:
I am by no means a pro at this, but to answer a a question or 2 of yours...

I never bothered using the SDK. I did download it, but like you, I followed other instructions that did not tell you to use the SDK.

The important part is to put all the downloaded files into your renamed "fastboot" folder, where fastboot will know where to look for it.

Concerning the radio, some ROMS may or may not require different radios, but for the simple process of rooting your phone, I'm pretty sure you're cool.

I used fastboot, but superboot (if I understand it correctly) is a total tool for your use. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it takes the place of all the steps you listed above, and does it all in one command.

Good luck! Its easy, and it sounds like you have all the tools you need!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tasty-xda:
1) I didn't flash a new radio when I rooted mine (didn't for a couple of weeks until I was comfortable with flashing and abd and stuff). The radio is evidently the greatest risk of bricking the phone.

2) I've typically seen "superboot" to refer to a rom image that modaco hosts that includes the superuser perms and apk and not as a tool (as fastboot is referred to). ymmv.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
You may have the "network issue" that 3g is not working properly.

You may see (if this affects you) that your phone is always uploading data over 3g but never downloads

If this fits you then one easy fix to get it working right away is to dial *#*#3646#*#* then go phone testing. Change your network to GSM only. This will limit you to 2g speeds but it always works.

Moving back to WCDMA prefered at a later time sometimes gets 3g to work normally for a short while.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] slimjimwoods:
i can download just fine, its an app that allows me to see the screen of my phone in realtime over a network, (PicMe). It gives me an external ip but i cant connect to it from my desktop. This is the same if i try to access my phone using OnAir (to browse the contents of my sd card)
