Howzit guys, root friends! So, what are all you guys running on your phone and what have your experiences been?

I'm currently on the [Froyo] DJ DROID v1.0-R1 BETA - with HTC Sense - HD 720p - base 2.04 ROM

Only thing has have noticed about the "install to SD card thing" is, when you plug the phone into the PC and use Disc Drive, it breaks all the app wigdets on the home screen.

Yeah, this actually made me reflash and then start installing apps on the phone instead of the SD card. The ROM is perfect now.

Anyway, I was running the Pays ROM for a few weeks until the DJ Droid ROM was released yesterday, so I'm using that now as well.
 
DJ Droid for me as well....SD card access tests are much better now, the HD recording is phenominal....Wifi is incredibly far reaching now as well! Quite impressed!

Had a biut of trouble with the rom though....I did not wipe data and so on on the first install, and I could not get into the bit where you add your Google log-in, no matter how/where I went. Google Talk did not work, gmail did not. Did the Data wipe thing, then it was fine, but it did not sync my google contacts for some reason, so I just imported it from my backup.

Still happily testing it away.
 
I currently have a 4GB standard card that came with desire, i ordered a 16Gb but im curios to find out if i can just copy everything over to the new card or do i have to format the 16Gb card as i did with A2SD, and all should work?
 
Awesome!!! Website to cook your own ROMs. Cook your ROM on any of the following bases:

DeFrost 2.0
OpenDesire 1.5
ShadowFrost 1.4
Cyanogenmod 6
DJ Droid 1.0


PS: HTC Desire only.

That's cool and all, but you can essentially do most of that yourself anyway. When you download a ROM, you can just take out and add stuff as you please simply by unzipping, adding/removing apps/ rezipping :)
 
My latest:

Rooted using r5
Started off with a MCR Sense+2.1 r3.1 ROM
Then tried out the MCR Froyo r21, which is a vanilla android
Since the uDK leak I've been using the MCR Froyo+Sense r4.

In truth, I REALLY prefer the Android vanilla "theme", with the exception of the trademark Weather/Clock widget from HTC, which is easily replicated using FancyWidgets.

The only reason I haven't moved back to vanilla Sense ROM is this issue I'm having with connectivity to my Wifi at work and home. Only prevalent in the Nexus Froyo ROM ports which is odd. I'm considering a Sense-less version of MCR Froyo-Sense r4 now.
 
So did anyone have to create a goldcard? I'm on Vodacom myself...
 
I am on Vodacom, mine did not work the first couple of times, untill I got the goldcard right. Easiest way to know, is to find out if the phone is branded or unbranded, suppose you could find that out from where you got it, not sure...
 
So far it seems that Vodacon handsets are branded, and MTNo serivce ever's handsets aren't.

Okay, been on LeeDroid v1.2b this weekend...sleek, fast and a dream to use! Downloaded the 1.3a today, gonna flash it in a few minutes...been awesome so far:-)
 
No Goldcard required for me on Vodacom. Received in the first week of release locally, maybe that's why?

Don't know, but I think just try it without one, and if it fails, create a goldcard and try again.
 
On LeeDrOiD 1.4 now, 141mb free on first boot, Im impressed!
 
Yeah lol this stuff is going too fast, flashed 1.4 yesterday afternoon, and then when I got home, it was 1.4a again... But Im not complaining :)

EDIT: Nevermind, when I got to work now, it is on 1.4b...
