Guest vidler Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 might be worth keeping and sharing to help return to stock telstra rom for warranty purposes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mitrix Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 For anyone wishing to return to stock you can find the official Telstra RUU recovery exe over at the xda desire forums. The apks might still be useful though. I wonder if they can work on froyo at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vicelord Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hello I am new too rooting these phones but I just did your Rom and was hoping my userstring was right it is Your User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.1-update1; en-au; HTC Desire Build/ERE27) AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vidler Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Yep same same. Download the app called Handcent sms, you'll be able to send and receive good quality picture msg's then. I've just downloaded it and its now my primary msg app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest h0mer_ Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 In Zipped for the apk's are about 35meg. Telstra HTC Desire Builtin apps I have no idea if these are of any use to anyone but I am genuinely trying to help in this forum and thought they were worth mentioning. Chris Thanks Chris, I'll grab these, they may be handy like you say :) Cheers. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just downloaded it and its now my primary msg app Handsent doesn't make any difference to the quality/size of the MMS I receive with telstra. (all came through max 49kb) Only thing that did work was using the Telstra r3 or 3.5 rom with the correct user-agent. I've tried the r21 Froyo ROM which worked beautifully on my Desire but beacuse the user-agent was getting set to Android 2.2 it kept breaking MMS with telstra so I had to go back to Muskies r3. I haven't tried r3... what are the big differences between r3 and r3.5 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Muskie Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 On my end, nothing at all, really. I'm currently working on TelstraMod2, and have a release based on DJDroid 1.0 at the Whirlpool Forums. As Soon as Paul releases some prebakes for MCfRoyo r4, I'll shift all my mod code to Paul's ROM.

Guest Cerebral Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) Just got a Desire recently and this is exactly what I've been looking for, thanks heaps for the work. Do you reckon I should wait until you release your new version or should I go ahead an use the current one? EDIT: Nevermind I just saw your post on whirlpool, I guess I'll go ahead and install the current version with 2.1. Will watch this for a stable version of TelstraMod2 Edited July 11, 2010 by Cerebral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thomo73 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I have a very n00b question. I got the HTC Desire from Telstra late last week, and have r00ted and installed the 3.5 ROM no problem. My query is - I did this before even looking at the Bigpond stuff that was on it before (usage/foxtel/whatever), and now the icons are gone I am curious if any of these features are actually worthwhile? If not, is there any advantage to using this ROM over other custom (Froyo) HTC roms? cheers Thomo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest callum_88 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) a little confused, have been trying to research the information. but is it possible to use the useragent information etc with this with another rom i found on xda? EDIT: ok found on the front page, all ok Edited July 14, 2010 by callum_88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Muskie Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Updated! I've basically started afresh and redone all the edits from scratch, so this should be quick, and clean, and most importantly, work. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cerebral Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) still havn't worked out how to check my usage.. lol Me niether. Just wondering if the mediafire link is working for anyone else, my DL rate for the new version is extremely slow. EDIT: Now it's saying that the file is no longer hosted on mediafire. I may be able to give you a hand with future hosting on rapidshare, but won't know if I can for a few more days.

Guest gunk Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Yay I finally got rooted :angry: I've flashed this latest ROM, pretty awesome except that the google maps performance is terrible compared to the stock Telstra ROM. Before the flash maps would load as fast as they do on my PC, but now I move or zoom in and it takes 3-5 seconds before it loads the new tiles. Tried 3G and Wifi, makes no difference.

Congrats on rooting :angry: Is it maybe a caching thing? That is the map tiles are downloading for the first time again, and once on the handset the maps programme will pull them out of the cache, perhaps like was happening before you rooted?? There's a caching option in the menu iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a caching option in the menu iirc. Nah it wasn't a caching issue, but it wasn't the ROM either. Turns out that if you have the GPS enabled but have a really poor GPS signal (like in a fully steel frame and foil lined room), that it slows down the map loading. I have two desires and one has the default firmware so I was able to compare them side by side and I was browsing areas I had never looked at before. As soon as I disabled the GPS or went outside they were as responsive as ever :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Muskie Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Problems like that would probably be tied to the ROM and not me. ask Paul on his thread for MCR3.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest callum_88 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 tried to install the telstra mod via recovery mode but says it cannot find the update script and it aborts, what stupid mistake am i making? i tried to install the kitchen files one and a different one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozmale Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Guys, I have "rooted" my Telstra HTC desire as per instructions in post #1 of this thread. All seems to work fine. There is a link to "Kitchen files" What do I do with these and what are they for ? If there is a link to a post explaining these that would be good.

Guest Muskie Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Kitchen Files are for those creating a custom ROM using the online kitchen or for those with non Modaco 2.1 ROMs to get the benefits of the Mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
