Is LeeDroid any good, I've had enough of defrost, I'm finding it crashes a lot.

I'm using LeeDrOiD 2.0a it's quite good.

I missed sense, OD was awesome, did have a few issues, and lack of sense, eventually after various problems with the camera I reverted back.
Quite happy at current, but do miss the levels of customisation you get with OD.

4.0.6 does look quite good, will wait till they've fixed the OJ problem before returning.

 

[lokkers]

yes i use leedroid - love it , no real issues to be honest and he does lots of different installs so theres good choice.

I'd second that. I like the stock roms, but there are a couple of Sense features in LeeDroid that I couldn't live without (like decent text selection).

 

[Sirrel Squirrel]

I'll give it a go then, can always revert back

 

[Mekrel]

Very nice, using which ROM? Unless of course I missed the post

Modaco R8, but running a dual governor script.

I wouldn't trust 90% of ROMs on XDA, most are just a miss mash of zip files the developer has merged into one ROM without fully understanding the implications.

Paul however, knows what he is doing.

There's a a method for the current HTC kernel to be undervolted, but I'm waiting for the kernel source to be release and the UV to be hard coded, then this ROM will be insane for battery life without having to remove sense or cripple the sync features.

Liking Leedroid, shows how much I actually did miss with sense (I rooted on day one, so didn't get much time to play with it but it has loads of features)

 

[iamtheoneneo]

I just use leedroid bc it was stable and not bc of sense, in fact i just stuck on launchpro bc i wanted custom icons etc and 5 rows on screen.

 

[bayo000]

probably a silly question but...
Is there anyway to disable volume buttons when the phone is unlucked? While it's not a big deal I often press them by mistake. 1 press of volume up button in silent mode turns the phone to normal mode.

 

[gumbald]

Market down for anyone else at the moment?

 

[tbz_ck]

it's slow but it workd for me

 

[bayo000]

Slow but works for me

edit:just got server error message

DeFrost 3.7 vastly improved camcorder 720p smoothness and quality for me, look at this video I recorded today:

Awesome

 

[Locke]

^^ Deja Vu

Think I might flash that, since OD is doing my head in atm! and I miss the Sense Dialer.

 

[mrk]

DeFrost doesn't have Sense

 

[Locke]

Yeah I just realised lulz. Sigh! Will see how it goes for a day ^_^

 

[Cesar67]

Running MCR r8 just now, Back with Sense

Fed up with the lack of changelogs for OD recently 'updated apps, framework and kernel' just doesn't cut it anymore when updates are pretty much daily.

OD 4.x.x vs MCR r8 with the UV module for battery is near enough identical i'm finding.

OD 3.6.1 was superb for battery drain, Might just go back to that for a full days worth of usage.

I'm looking for longevity and stability now, Features are an afterthought.

The 720 capture there looks very smooth though Khaaan.

 

[Jongo]

wow at the 720p video Khaaan! thats so much smoother than the stock sense. I should really get around to rooting one of these days.

Shame i went to stock 2.2 froyo and it requires a lot more effort now to root

Ahhhh the joys of Junction 7

Not really. You can downgrade to 2.1 quite easily using this and then use unrevoked to root it in 1 click

Check the links for more info to see if your Desire is compatible. If yours isn't a newer SLCD or locked one, then it will be fine (Not sure about the SLCD ones, just read that they're awkward). I've rooted 3 of my friends Desires using the same method and no problems, and it doesn't take long at all!

applying update now First impressions.... downloaded ota update via wifi and it took about 5 mins or so to install. Then upon restart, it did its counting upto 100% before i could use the phone.. Did not back up anythink previous, because im lazy. All updated to The new Software number 2.10.405.2. Everythink works fine, not noticed anythink stunning, however my HD video was improved (cant say too much, as i dont really use it), and phone appeared slighty zippier.First impressions.... downloaded ota update via wifi and it took about 5 mins or so to install.
