Root SO I just installed GingerVillain...

[SiHa]

...and I love it. I espescially like the Android with the HAL-esque eyes!

I has loads of great features, and it's looking like a winner for me.

Well, at least it was until I tried to add my corporate Exchange email account:
"This server requires security features that your phone does not support"

Digging a bit deeper, it seems that CM-baed ROMs do not support all (or even many) of Exchange's security policies, so I'm stuffed.

Yes, I could bypass them and risk the sack, but don't really want to do that. Besides, I see it as an extra bonus that I can phone my IT helpdesk and ask them to wipe the phone, or that it will do it itself after 8 failed PIN attempts.

So I suppose I'll have to wait until GB is officially released for the Desire (but I won't hold my breath), and go back to FroYo for now.

Or just not bother getting my work email on the phone...

Hard choice

I did see that hopefully some policies would be supported soon in the next release (CM8?) so I'll keep my eyes open.

You could try Roms based on the leaked desire 2.3.3 or even a hd or sense 3.0 port

Thanks, will have a look about.

For now, though I'm looking for stability, and I would imagine that these aren't quite there yet.

Anyway, for now I've made my choice. GV it is.

I really don't need to get my work email on my phone, it was just convenient. I'll manage without for now.

If you go to the sticky here there is a link to the xda sticky that contains all the good Roms, categorised. Always use that as your resource for Roms.

so this is a work phone? security is already compromised if you are rooted :/

Nooo, it's my phone. Good point though.

Thanks, that's where I was looking. Just as I'm new to all this, it is difficult to distinguish one from t'other.
