I'm so tired of these stupid overlays. Theyre good for nothing, and slow the update process to a halt alot of times.

ya man I know.
plan and simple is how I like it.
yet some features are good.

I mainly like to get my updates on time. My desire has yet to see gingerbead, likely because HTC is taking it's sweet time to update sense and give the updated rom to my carrier who will likely take their time...

I've been thinking about flashing a custom rom but i'm afraid I'd end up bricking my device and really dont feel like buying a new phone. Maybe in a year I'll be more courageous because my contract will almost be up

i feel you man, i was in your shoes once not to long ago...
and now all i do is root, flash, and install roms.
it's like 2nd nature to me now.

Man it is so easy. As long as you do a nandroid first you are golden, if the new one doesn't work flash a backup and try again. I think I try a new rom at least once every two weeks. The devs make some quality stuff!!

Well last time I looked my bootloader was unable to boot a custom rom, I assume it had yet to be 'cracked'

A big thing for me is my desire only has like 256mb of onboard storage so I have like 50mb for app's and since flash 10.3 is like 13mb facebook is 11 or something my phonebook takes like 9mb etc etc. so right now I cant install a new app without uninstalling an old one since I only have 15mb of storage left and will get a permanent low storage warning if I go below 15.

There is lots of app's like sense facebook for sense etc that I'd like to remove to give myself some room to work!

I think I may take a look into roms again, or I may hold off until the next android update that my phone probably wont see because of lazy htc employees.

you can use rom CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Desire CDMA :: V7.0.3, it supports apps to sd.
i have been using it for about 30 to 40 days now on my droid 1, and love it.

Oxygen is another rom I was thinking about, its just android no mods or tweaks or anything. It also takes less storage than c7.

With app 2 sd does that install ANY app to the SD or just the ones that are supposed to be?

Also I think my desire is GSM seeing as I have a sim in it.

The new Oxygen v2.0-RC7 (Gingerbread RC) is a good rom to start with, fast and stable.

App 2 sd only supports apps that can be moved to sd by the Dev.

sorry. CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Desire GSM:: V7.0.3 http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2012 ... -may-2011/

CyanogenMod 7 supports all apps to sd. Some apps will not work properly when add to sd.
