Either buy it or use a free alternative. Stop ripping off developers. Also, read XDA rules regarding warez

Please don't encourage warez. A few dollars for a good app is well worth it and will not impact one's budget in any way unless you go on a mass app buying spree.

If you legitimately cannot afford it, there are plenty of great free alternatives

[Desire General] Mr_Maz:
HI all,

I'm new here.

I've been caught up with the VF screw up!!:mad::mad::mad:

I've heard its not possible to de-brand or root after the VF update, is this true? if it can, please point me in the right direction

Been told this is the place to ask!

Thanks
[Desire General] harj81:
Hi,

New to this the rooting / flashing business and in exactly the same boat as Mr Maz.

I would like to get froyo on to my voda desire after its received the voda 360 add ons!!!

Appreciate any help from the experts on here!

Thanks
[Desire General] Mr_Maz:
Anyone able to help?
[Desire General] STANNY08:
Rooting is possible. I acheived it using unrevoked but flashing roms and just about anything else seems to be impossible!
[Desire General] RocketChef:
Wrong. All you have to do is to get rid of the Bootloader. I used the "old" r6-... root method and had a rooted 1.15 after that. Then I wanted to use the 1.21 RUU... I use Win7 x64 and always get the error 170 on the first try, so I have to start the RUUs twice. The first starts, shows me that I have 1.15 and went to the grey htc logo. It then gets the timeout while "Waiting for Bootloader" (error 170) and breaks. The second launch of the RUU is detecting the device and tries to update. But suddenly it showed that I have the 1.24 VF version! And the RUU stated that I cannot "downgrade".

End of the Story was I did the HBOOT 0.75 downgrade with my already installed rooted 1.15. After that the RUU always said I have the 1.15 and updated the 1.21 fine. Now I have a 1.21 stock rom on my former VF branded Desire and the internal updater says that my phone is up to date... but that is another story.

I assume that using the PB99IMG.zip method for downgrading the 0.92 HBOOT of the FroYo update to 0.80 would have helped in this case too... (speculation).
[Desire General] peakprowler:
Could you post a step by step guide to do this as I have been caught with VK OTA udate to 1.24 but have never 'rooted' anything. Can you confirm ut works when the 1.24 software is installed.
[Desire General] harj81:
Sounds promising, just need a guide on how to do it please!

Thanks,
[Desire General] Cheesy Wotsit:
Hi.

Another Voda UK user here.

I previously rooted my Magic by following the guides here but can't seem to get my head round the Desire rooting.

I have HBOOT 0.83 with the latest Vodafone 1.24 software version.

I have downloaded the latest unrevoked and have been close to running it a coupe of times. Was going to flash the AmonRA recovery as that's what I was used to on the Magic.

On the magic it was just a case of running the update zip on the SD from recovery to flsah a new ROM.

Am I missing something with the desire??
[Desire General] RocketChef:
I have to say that I had a 0.80 HBOOT with my 1.24 VF uk branding, so I don't know because the unrevoked root was successful. The version of the VF update was 1.24 and I was unable to go to 1.21 so I did these steps:

First I did this guide:

hxxp://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307365/14-jun-r6-riskfreeroot-htc-desire-rooting-guide-now-with-hboot-0-80-and-os-to-1-21-support/

because it does what it says: "The root process will flash your device with a new, generic 1.15.405.4 based ROM that has Superuser access"

Second I did the downgrade of HBOOT 0.80 to 0.75 using this guide:

hxxp://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2934

After that I applied a 1.21 stock RUU.

But I assume using the downgrade HBOOT 0.92 to 0.80 guide in the dev section here is doing all this in one step. Could anyone try this? It requires a goldcard with this P99IMG.zip on it and the recovery via vol down+power.
[Desire General] STANNY08:
We know that all this is possible on version 0.80 but I am and i thought Mr_maz are on bootloader version 0.83. On which recovery doesnt work. It is not possible to flash any image via recovery. Selecting recovery just reboots the handset to the white htc splash screen, not to the black screen with the red triangle. I have spent days trying various guides off the web and none work. And it has been accepted most that those of us on version 0.83 have to wait for someone to crack it!
[Desire General] harj81:
Has anyone got a solution to this yet?

or know when the voda update is due?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
VF update should be 7-10 days from their original press release (so prpbably a week from now)

Lesson learnt today - get a SIM-free handset from a 3rd party when upgrading!! :D

ALK has a summer special on CoPilot offering 15% off everything (code: SUMMER15, expires 8/31/10), and if I'm not mistaken, for those of you with Android or iPhone, it looks like you can buy the program for $4.99 which seems like a killer deal to me.

If you're already a CoPilot owner, you can download the Text-To-Speech feature free, and they discount the 'live' services (traffic, etc.) also.

I've been pretty happy with it so far. Abandoned TomTom because they abandoned us on the WM platform, and needed a replacement.

Hi all my Desire is unrooted but i set

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2 to save all apps on SDcard

phone memory was about 50mb when i installed around 130mb apps on sdcard the phone memory went down to 0,01mb?

I don't get it , anyone know why ?:confused:
[Desire General] ruffruff:
this is simple ... at the moment, even though Froyo supports native app2sd but not the entire application get installed on the SD card. there is still a significant amount of data installed on the phone. thus, after the installation of much applications, you will still get the low storage issue.

the best way is still to root and use old skool app2sd+ which is at least allows u to install tons of apps. :)
[Desire General] hugorx:
I see, thanks for the info :)
[Desire General] MrUsta:
If I understand correctly:

* if you don't do anything, only very few apps can be moved to SD card.

* if you set Installlocation2 (as in opening post), then some (about half) apps can be moved to SD card.

* if you root + app2sd, then most of the apps can be moved to SD card.
[Desire General] hugorx:
Well the apps are moved to sdcard all, but not every data of the application... it's weird :)

so to move all data you need to root. true is that i was manually moving old applications, don't know how it is with new apps tweaked for installin on sd.

Hey guys,

don't get me wrong, I am not talking about the current stage of android on HD2.

What the guys here established so far is mindblowing, but still we are nowhere near the performance of a pure android phone like the HTC Desire.

Question is, is it possible, with a fully optimized kernel and the OS running in NAND to achieve the performance of a HTC Desire?

Having in mind, that we are basically talking about the very same hardware platform regarding cpu/gpu/ram:

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8250

ATI/AMD Z430 GPU

576 MB of RAM.

So what do you guys think?

boba
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] csw621:
I went to a sprint store with my HD2 running Darkstone's v5 and it seems to be just as fast as, if not faster than the Evo, so there's no reason to presume it wouldn't be the same for the Desire.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Downy:
I think we will have to wait until

- we can flash android directly as ROM and not only boot it and have it running on a sdcard

- the full memory available can be used. Currently the amount of ram used by android is around 250 Mbyte as far as I know. So nearly a half of ram is unused at the moment.

I am very sure that we will have great performance mostly like on desire when these points are realized.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] atariot:
If I use a live wallpaper on my HD2, there are some stutters when I open the "all apps"-tab. With a static wall it is in fact as smooth as the desire I used for comparison.

But I guess the overall performance is still on a way lower level than it should be out of a fully utilized NAND ;)

when will an android ROM be available that runs from flash

Hi,

I am interested in running android, I am a software developer so I have a clue but I have never put a non-htc rom in my hd2.

What is the timescale for an android rom being available that will replace the windows carp?

i was also wondering why so many people are creating their own versions rather than people grouping together to solve the various driver problems etc.

it seems a vastly over complex and risky process which is why i have not tried it, let alone deciding which flavour to choose.

i basically want to turn my hd2 into a decent phone, the hardware is good, the OS is carp but as yet there does not seem to be a decent way to run android other than buy an android phone.

not wanting a flame war here, i just don't get it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
I'm running Shub's Cyanogen and it already runs faster than my brother's Desire for the majority of tasks.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bbezja1:
@john00williams

how complex and risky is downloading a rar, extract it onto you SDcard, then running 1 exe file and waiting?! if after 10 mins you dont see android home screen, then you remove your battery to restart the phone and wait for new android build while using your old WM!!

you dont delete anything or remove anything.

how is that complex?? how??

also, fact that android is running from SD card only slows the bootup, while android itself is not visibly slower, cause WM is shut down completely and android is loaded into memory. for optimal usage you should have level 6 SD card anyway
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lonelykatana:
THANKYOU, I dont know why so many people are finding that hard to understand :p

Noone has any idea how long a full nand build will take, but I've read in a few places that a ETA is september...

All the devs are sharing their work as far as i can see.

there are 2 or 3 main builds now, the rest are older work...

Complex?

Get the right radio, rom, and put android on the root of your SD and run it.

Not complex at all, childs play infact.

the HD2 IS A GOOD phone. Just because you dont like winmo doesnt change that.

Maybe you should have researched a little before buying it...

If you wanted android, why the didn't you buy it?

to everyone else booting android on the hd2 is a bonus.

Please search before posting too, everything I just said has been said countless times
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
Risky? It runs off the memory card, there is zero to little risk. Other than the phone heating up a little the phone being damaged is highly unlikely. And with SetCPU running mine doesn't heat up any more than it did under Windows Mobile when running intensive apps or services.

You can tell you haven't tried out one of the recent Android builds. If I was asked to assign a percentage of usability to the Cyanogen build I'm using off my class 6 Samsung card it would be 95% and the few things which are still ropey aren't essential, or certainly not for me. I can live without full bluetooth support for example.

My phone now has Android on it, that is how I think of it. I don't think of it as a WM phone that happens to be sort of running Android, a small but important point. I haven't used Windows Mobile now for over two weeks, and there is a reason for that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jan-willem3:
@ the moment de devs are working to get full amount of ram. Cotulla said he see no problem to make nand work but there will be no nand until half of semptember for various reasons. I think they want first fix all other problems.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Downy:
... and that makes sense definitly. It is much easier to fix issues by for example replacing a zimage file than flashing a new rom. Also we have the possibility to boot in wimo when problems occure. In my case I have four different android builds on my sdcard as I can not make a final decision which version to run yet. Some receive frequent updates, some don't.

So we should not see the lack of a nand rom too negative, its a great opportunity to fix most of the issues.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kerman19:
Likewise, I've not run Windows Mobile for about the same amount of time, even when people were getting issues with the early builds, I wasn't.

Windows Mobile for me is gone, even in its current state, it's far more usable than my stock HD2 ever was!

I'm still on Froyo1.0, I've not tried any of the Sense Builds out.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jvillejoe:
Ask any one a month ago how they liked the desire build they would have said its buggy and needs to be smoothed out. I have fixed every thing on my desire build (except 3g=working on it:confused:) but i have the energy rom now and 2.12 radio and runing the desire v5.7 biuld and let me tell you it is way faster than last month so sept. sounds great for the rest of the bugs to be sorted out so can the desire build run fast on the hd2 just like the born android desire? ill have to say yes :)

p.s. i cant say ill get rid of winmo all together thats kinda the reason i bought the phone booting into android is just one extra bonus :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] runemail:
At the moment there is only a limited amount of RAM available.

And SD cards are really really slow when writing to(even the expensive class 10 ones).

These two factors combined is the biggest performance problem at the moment. Nand and full RAM access is the only solution here I believe.

There are several benchmark programs for Android that you can run on your hd2 to see that in some areas performance is just as good as with the desire already. Thanks to the brilliant minds that work on porting Android.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jjones1983:
I just recently had the chance to run my HD2 with MattC RC 1.4 side by side with a Desire and an EVO and honestly, there is little to no difference in performance in MY personal build, which for whatever reason has been pretty much flawless since I started using these Android builds. Believe it or not, I have literally never once (knock on wood) had a SOD, other than my bootup having the green screen once or twice and white screen once. I actually tried going back to WinMo the other day and literally just couldn't stomach it, the functionality just doesn't cut it for me even though I still say it is the better "business" platform when compared to Android. Too long winded? Probably.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hoss_n2:
add for that thet we have proper multitouch with no multitouch issues like one (desire , nexusone and incredible )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] poweroutlet:
I too have had few if any problems, no SODs and just one crash during start up. Though there also seem to be a good amount of people getting SODs regularly. Usually performance is pretty good, but I have had that issue rarely where the touch screen stops responding. Installing apps seems to make it very slow for a while. I also have pretty bad battery life.

Overall the mattc 1.4 build is very usable and it's clear we are pretty close to getting a full time android build. It feels like the phone was reborn, winmo just can't compare to android in terms of ease of use and seamlessness.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
I bought the HD2 because it was the only good one that I could get. I could only afford whatever tmobile could offer at discounted, and that isn't much. only other option was some cheaper less powerful phone, and I didn't want that for the phone I was going to be stuck with for two years.

Honestly I could live with using just WinMo, but why eat just toast for breakfast when you have bacon and eggs?
