33% downloading System Update – Android 2.26.841.2 Android 2.26.841.2 Froyo


Image by avlxyz
After a long wait, HTC have finally customised the Android 2.2 (Froyo) system software for HTC Desire (Telstra).
The Froyo ROM was on HTC’s website on 26 October 2010. For the patient, the Over-The-Air download was available on 29 October 2010. The difference is that with the OTA download, all your settings, applications etc are retained.

To check for OTA system software updates on your phone:
Menu > Settings > About Phone > System software updates > Check now

A tip for the wary, if the screen times out (turns off) during the download, the download seems to pause. I eventually set my screen timeout to 30 minutes and the download was flying!
Menu > Settings > Display > Screen timeout > 30 minutes
