@ Singh, what benchmark app are you using buddy???

[AndyCr15]

That's Quadrant.

For the record, I'm getting 1100 on my Samsung Galaxy S on 2.1. If I change my apps partition to Ext4, people are scoring 1700! I can't wait for a decent FroYo ROM on this phone

I'm running a 2.2 Sense ROM. If I can be arsed, I'll load up bare 2.2 and run it again

Yeah just found and installed it. Scoring 1327 on my 2.2 Desire & 1501 on my 2.2 Nexus One. You do seem to get a higher score after running the benchmark a couple of times and the Nexus appears to complete the I/O tests much quicker than the Desire.

[Biscuit]

There have been benchmarks shown all over the web of how much faster FroYo is, you only believe it now? If you run Linpack (which I think is more specifically testing the CPU speed) it comes up 5 to 6 times faster than 2.1

I dont spend that much time looking. No need to appear so suprised we dont all share a brain just because we have the same phone

What ROM are you running on your Desire?

What ROM are you running on your Desire?

I think the one you maybe mentioned from XDA Forums, let me just check as the About Phone info is not telling me much......

Yep here we go: Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (16/07 v1.0c | OpenDesire Team)

Was going to root my phone last weekend, probably lucky I didn't. I don't mind having to wait a couple more weeks but I seriously need 2.2 in my life.

i seriously need 2.2 too but it seems you need to unlock your device first

But we don't know if the 2.2 from HTC will make your phone unrootable

That's good news, but it'll mean I have to reboot, ruining my phone's (now nearly 900 hour) uptime.

Engadget reports HTC starting the 2.2 roll-out today (I think, it was late when I read it)

I'm seriously fed up of the music player/album art issue with this phone (or should I say OS)
Ripped CDs fine, art works in itunes & mediaplayer, some dont have artwork so I put a jpg in the same folder...

Some show up, some don't...there doesn't seem to be a pattern to what works & what doesn't (eg embedded vs jpg in the folder)

Spent ages googling but no joy, can see that the phone makes a seperate 'Album Art' folder with no file type (but open fine as images) but why isn't it doing it for some? I can't work out where it gets the file names from so can't fake it either

Aaaaarrrrgghh!

The stock media player is pants. Grab yourself a copy of doubleTwist mate.

[Rob_B]

Didn't like it when I tried it :/

The PC app is pants.
The media player picks up the artwork so I guess I'll use this from now on then! Are there any lockscreen options for it like the stock player has?
