Will we be able to fully install apps to SD card?
I don't think Google have implemented it, most new handsets now come with more than adequate internal storage so it's not needed

This is true, and the Nexus S comes with 16GB internal storage... not sure if this is partitioned off or something - but i thought it odd they have removed the option to have an external SD card... that's one of the main selling points to me - iphone/windowsphone don't seem to want to offer it.
It's a big let down I love the desire but this installing problem needs sorting

And? So am I, got my phone in April and rooted it once Paul @ MoDaCo worked it out and been going between rooted and stock ever since.
So long as you've got the stock RUU your phone originally came with you can always go back to stock for warranty purposes
I didn't know that thanks ill have to look more into it. Any ROM I should go with?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Firstly, what ROM you running on at the moment? Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and it's the Software version you're interested in
As for custom ROMs I recommend the HD ports, RCMixHD in particular. It does involve a bit of setting up so as an easy one to look into I reckon LeeDroid is a safe bet. Either that or Teppic's stock ROM with added extras
2.14.207.1 is the software number. Am go work so ill post back soon. Thanks for your help
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
There isn't an RUU for your handset so if you were to root you'd be stuck on warranty issues...might be worth holding out for now
That's not good lol, getting sick of no memory left. Desire is a great phone but the memory is a big let down, mainly when you have a 16 gb card in your phone and can't use it.

lol.
you are the guy who did knew about rooting and stuff..
1. rom = OS a.k.a android
2. cwm = is the name of a custom recovery
3. you've just answered yourself at number 2 with this.
4. the best developers gathered under one roof which is called Cyanogenmod. They make Android OS'es. Search on google, they have a website.
5. Kernel is like the motor of the OS. Without it, the rom will not start.
6. stock means default. if it refers to stock rom it means the OS that came with your phone untouched by you in any way.
7. nandroid backup performs a backup as per the name, of your current rom.
Quick reply.
1. A ROM is the operating system of your phone... Like windows xp is to a computer. you can change this and try different ones.
2 & 3. Is a Recovery from there you can do functions that are necessary to flash ROMs Kernels and even backup your phone
4. A ROM made from the released source code from google... All Vanilla which means that it doesnt have the HTC overlay.
5. A Kernel is the underlying software that communicates with the hardware of the phone in this case
6. Stock means that it has not been modified.
7. A Nandroid is a function that is incorporated into the Recovery it allows you to backup the system in your phone so you have the possibility of recovering it at some other time.
You have a lot of reading to do... The learning curve is steep; start climbing

Probably better to point him to the original link...
Dictionary for n00b - What is.../What does ...mean?
As to the antennas, the body is metal so they have to put the antennas behind the plastic parts so that the radio signals can get through. The only solution is to change your grip so that you don't cover the bottom of the phone.
Hey guys,
I recently bought my one x and i want to root it eventually and right now i would like to leave it as it is. But i want it also to update via the official updates. Will it be harder or even impossible to root afterwards if i update?

I would update personally as there are many nice fixes/improvements in the new updates.

You should go root, update, and flash a custom ROM. From my experience, my One X is my first super phone after jumping over from a crappy Nokia phone.
The first day when I got my phone, I got all excited with playing around it. I've been reading lots of stuff here on XDA. It was very tempting to root in on day one, but I managed to let it stay. But immediately, the day after, I risked it all and tried to root it, even if I don't have any experiece or background on handling an Android device.
All the hardwork payed off and just this morning, I updated my phone to ARHD 7.2.0 on stock kernel. Everything feels better right now than what I had on day 1.
But in the end, it is still your choice if you want to hack your phone or not. But trust me, it's worth it.

Totally agree. I've had Android for a while now and my first few I kept stock for that reason, the OTA updates. Kept my Hero and Desire on stock. I then got a DHD and now have a One X and both of these I rooted and flashed custom ROMs and can honestly say was best decision I made. There are spme quality ROMs and developers in this community. As long as you do your research you shouldn't find it too hard, theres very good guides on here. I am also running ARHD 'cause I like the stock look but its so much smoother and quicker. Most devs are also very good at keeping up with the official updates too (If not quicker in many cases.).
Like monchee said its your choice, but personally I don't think I could have a device now without root and custom ROM!
Hope this helps

You need to unlock bootloader to get root too.
I would suggest waiting at least a couple of weeks to see if you have any defects as HTC are refusing to repair unlocked phones in many instances.

Of course. I just tought the officiall htc ota's would do their job better. I had a legend before i bought the one x and i really enjoyed s-off,cwm and root.

There is no Desire 4G. You might be thinking of the Inspire 4G which is the 4G variant if the Desire HD.

He's talking about the rumoured HTC device headed for Verizon wireless in the us. I haven't heard anything new outside that screen shot that was released with that name.
Also I wouldn't say the inspire is the 4g variant of the dhd. Same phone just att decided to the 4g moniker to it. Its like the memory debacle. If anything I'd call it 3.25-3.5g max

If the I4G is just a DHD with AT&T branding then why do people have to flash things like the I4G sound fix (using JellyTime as an example)?

Have you tried unlocking the boot loader via HTC dev? You should definately post the Droid incredible 4g late forums. Maybe a dev can find a work around like what they did for the att one x to unlock the boot loader for them
Looks like a DHD with a sensation-like back cover. 1 GB RAM, a dual core processor and sense 4.0 sounds appealing

I have successfully unlocked the boot loader from HTC Dev site, but am unable to find a way to root the device.
I'm itching for some Su, so if anyone has any ideas on how to do this, please post or pm me.
I wad thinking of trying a droid incredible 4G TWRP recovery, but need a way to backup at least my recovery IMG first in case it doesnt work. Ideas are much thanked
Update: Great News! I have successfully flashed TWRP 2.1 to the Desire 4G! I used the toolkit found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758682
Rebooted the phone and adb recovery into TWRP. Performing a Full Backup right now, will attempt to use the same toolkit to do Perm Root and report back. I'll try a DI4G kernel once I confirm the backup/restore process is all working correctly. I have to no RUU for this thing, so I can't get to crazy.
Well, can't flash DI4G kernel, but can get supersu via that link. Backup and restore from twrp seems to work ok, although I have lost mms capability(sending and recieving). Not sure what happened, only thing I can think of twrp. I hope I can get an ruu and reflash to stock. Otherwise I'm SOL

What is a riffbox tool
Sent from my One V using XDA Premium HD app
its a jtag box for reviving dead phones, but many htc phones are supported by usb alone, no soldering or jigs required you just have to jump the Vdd test point of the emmc to a ground to reset it into qualcomm dload mode (so youll still need to crack your phone open) theyre not terribly cheap mind, around £130, so unless you have a few friends who need supported phones s-off'd and chip in on it then its probably not worth your while unless you REALLY want it. just google for riffbox and im sure youll find it
