Hey guys,
After owning my Desire for 6 months (bought SIM free but I reckon it's Vodafone as it has a Voda default homepage), I've got sick of the lack of internal memory and the fact the 2.3 version out will make it worse, so I want to root it and add a custom ROM.
I've been reading up on these forums and I thought I had all I need, but today I have read about Gold Cards and I wonder if this is old information or relevant.
I was preparing tonight to root and install a ROM using Unrevoked. It was my understanding that all I needed was my ROM + add ons and the Unrevoked software. (deleted guide as I can't link yet)
Once finished I believe I will have a bloatfree, gingerbread + sense + rooted phone (based on the ROM I have chosen), that I can then partition the SD card with and free up valuable space on the phone that is currently taken up with apps I don't use and Google Maps & Flash (the big hitters).
It is also my understanding that if things go wrong, I can always revert my phone back to original using Unrevoked's clockwork recovery mod.
But now I'm reading I need a Gold Card? What is the benefit of this, is it obsolete now with Unrevoked clockwork recovery mod?
There's so many guides and I just want as simple as possible.
Thanks
