Worth it?

Currently on 2.2.1 (Froyo?), mine’s running OK generally but occasionally it seems like it needs a kick up the arse.

Thinking of a custom rom to iron out the little annoyances and hopefully improve performance.

Any tips/experiences?

Mine runs like a dog to – turned off the predictive text (as per the below link) and ran a history erasure – seems a bit faster now

cyanogen is also worth a shot

Never understood why it’s called a ROM. It’s clearly not read only, or you couldn’t flash it to your phone. It’s just code stored in a non-volatile RAM location?

Hmm, not sure I’d want to turn predictive off, some other stuff to try there though.

There’s loads of apps I could easily lose, but having no uninstall feature is leading me down the path of custom roms.

So far I’ve narrowed it down to Cyanogenmod or Wildpuzzle…

Yeah, just picking up on the term what everyone’s using. I won’t claim to fully understand the last bit!

Wasn’t abusing you 🙂 Just pondering out loud 🙂

No worries, I didn’t think you were 🙂

but having no uninstall feature

you can uninstall apps in 2.2.1

Some yes, but not all the useless apps that came pre-loaded on it. Facebook for HTC Sense for example.

Oh fair point! I thought you meant non HTC apps
