The final update for rooting the Desire (except the actual release). Paul O’Brien has just posted saying:
Guide written, files uploaded, testing now…
Hopefully within the next hour or so we’ll have the full root procedure. If the official instructions are not suitable for beginners I’ll do my best to write up something that (almost) everyone can use.
Desire Root Update: Vanilla Android and Custom Recovery
12 years ago
Paul O’Brien (the guy working on rooting the Desire) has just posted up 2 images of his HTC Desire: one running Vanilla Android (standard Android without HTC Sense), and the other with a custom recovery image (which lets you put custom ROMs such as Vanila Android on your Desire). As you can see below from the white top bar, standard Android Widgets and the default homescreen that owners of other Sense-less Android phones (such as Nexus One) will recognise:
HTC Desire running Vanilla Android
HTC Desire with a custom Recovery Image
His latest tweet says that “Desire kitchens are a go-go” – basically meaning that you should be able to customise your own ROM file and install it to the Desire!
I’ll keep you updated as further information is released throughout the day!
