Guest pd.ryder Posted April 19, 2010 Report Posted April 19, 2010 My Desire will arrive sometime this week \o/ YAY! I know with WinMo, at initial startup, if the soft reset button was pressed at the crucial point, much of the T-Mobilified installation could be avoided. Is this so with Android 2.1? Have T-Mo messed with the OS config like they have done with WinMo devices? I was spoilt with my Touch HD in that I was lucky enough to get a generic model with a T-Mo contract from an online retailer. This Desire is direct from T themselves so I'm expecting it to be pinkyfied unless I do something about it. Any thoughts? I'm a total n00b with Android OS.

The Desire I got from T-Mobile had no branding on it bar one T-Mobile logo when you start up and the web browser being renamed "Web'n'walk", everything else seems pretty stock "HTC Sense" to me!

One thing that isn't stock is the headphone volume on the T-Mobile ROM is very low, too low to use as a proper line-out. Flashing with the vanilla ROM sorts this out, although bear in mind the full T-Mobile ROM isn't available so you can't revert back if you need to yet.

I thought it was too new, which was why plenty of Android users were spitting feathers about upgrades etc? What's your source @landwomble?

His source is the thread on this forum: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...r-t-mo-handset/
