A new setup I'm trying out, which only requires one homescreen:

What phone do you have Gray?


I've just started using my O2X, love it so far (battery could be better, perhaps with the gb update), and its absolutely gorgeous. I love the power widget with all the extra options (sync, bluetooth) and also the battery indicator in the notification bar. Clock is great as well.

Could you tell me whicha apps are those.

Also, could somebody explain to me exactly what a launcher does?

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Gray has the HTC Desire.

With smartphones, don't expect anything more than 24 hours on battery life.

My desire hd's battery seems to have so much less battery life lately.... Why is applanet down all the time?

I think it was taken down. I wouldn't use it anymore if I was you.

 

[Salvo]

I don't, any other options? Hate that the battery is being terrible.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Well yeah, I hardly get 15-16 hours myself. Almost always run outta battery when I'm out in the weekends.

For cracked apps, I usually visit blackdroid.net.

 

[Salvo]

And just install via that?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

You'll have to download the individual APK file from BlackDroid and install it on the phone.

What launcher is that Gray?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

LauncherPro.

I'm using GoLauncher right now I'm not really liking it. Not that many options in terms of free themes.

Don't expect to see many free themes on the Market anyway,

Thanks Sheik.

Salvo, try Blackmart Alpha as a replacement to Applanet. It's not bad...

 

[Salvo]

Thanks guys.

 

[Nenz]

What's that theme Gray?

 

[JCK]

It's Launcher Pro with some widgets. I have the clock widget but always forget what it's called, something along the lines of simi clock or something.

Would anybody be kind and guide me carefully and simply on how to flash a ROM into my HTC desire. I've already rooted the Desire succesfully and now I need to flash a ROM. ROM recommendations are also welcomed.

Thanks.

This video should help:


From this video, you can skip the part where he runs that 'recovery.bat' file. Cos if you've rooted the phone properly, then a custom recovery should be installed, and it should show up once you select Recovery from the bootloader menu. Once there, just wipe data/factory and the cache before flashing the new ROM.

What kind of ROM are you looking for? Official 2.3, 2.3 with elements from HTC Sensation, AOSP, Cyanogenmod, MIUI? Based on this selection, I can recommend ROMs.

Oh, and for the best ROMs, bookmark this link.

Thanks a lot bro. I am looking for a ROM with elements of HTC Sensation. Something for a beginner like me. So, are you basically saying that I should not back up with Titanium Backup before I start flashing the ROM. Do I need to do anything like manual back up of the SD card?

Thank you.
