Quote from: smilodon;309000Another take on the Task Killer Idea.

It's those internal timings autokiller adjusts, instead of. killing the apps.

Paul O'Brian has rooted the HTC Desire. Details are here.

No AP2SD yet but it should be along pretty soon. This is a fist revision and a such requires you to have access to both Windows and Linux. It's nowhere near as clean as the 1 click process that was available on the Hero but it at least works.

Well it is done. I now have a shiny new Desire with root access and a gigabyte of storage for apps. Sweet.

Now to install everything again. :eyebrow:

Get in the queue, I want him to root my Hero at the LAN!  Then I get envious of his Desire.... :dribble:

Installed MoDaCo's Customer ROM for the Desire. No wipe needed and no format for the SD card either. Everything is looking very nice. Now have wireless teathering and the Google Navigation App from the Nexus One along with other goodies I've yet to check out.

Built with the MCR build process which reduces the size and boosts the speed of the ROM
Patched 'Rosie' (Sense) to allow click-drag homescreen rearrange when pinch-zoomed out
busybox with Droid Explorer support
'Genie' News and Weather widget
Jbed Java
MCR version displayed in 'About' screen
'Navigation Panel' (HTC version of 'Car Home')
OpenVPN binary
terminfo and settings in boot.img to allow nano etc. use
Updated Google Maps
Voice Search
Removed bootsound (can be restored via the online kitchen)
Optional A2SD via the online kitchen
Optional Android 2.1 stock Contacts application
Optional Amazon MP3
Optional Development Tools
Optional Hebrew fonts
Optional HTC CIME Chinese Input
Optional patched HTC IME version 25 by jonasl
Optional Titanium Backup

This seems a pretty good deal for the desire.

24 months @ Ã,£35 on O2 - 900 mins unlimted texts + Ã,£5 for unlimited data. + 7months free or Ã,£90 cashback... oh, and the handset is free! :blink:

24 month deals really suck IMHO. It's just too long to own a phone without wanting a change. 18 month max is my rule.

18 months is the max I can put up with. I pay a bit more each month to make sure I can change those 6 months earlier. Phones have always seen better days by then.

O2 are in the shops doing a new tariff, where after 12 months you can upgrade your phone.

Also worth noting is that as far as I can tell O2 do not have a data cap on their service. I have a free data 'bolt on' with my Ã,£19.99 a month SIM only contract. As long as I don't use it for P2P or streaming large amounts of video, I can do pretty much what I like. I'm averaging 500-600MB a month at the moment with no squeak from O2.

Same deal with vodafone on the cap. They advertise it as 500MB but they don't enforce it. Loads of posts on their forums about this.
