Remember the HTC Desire Android 2.2 ROM I talked about a few days? Well, it’s finally up for grabs over at XDA-Devs. New features include:

•Android 2.2 Froyo (FRF-85B)
•Kernel 2.6.32.15
•New Radio 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
•New Base v2.04
•720p Video recorder
•Native APP2SD
•App Sharing
•Car Panel
•Plurk
•Torcia
•Wi-Fi Hotspot
•..and much more!

This ROM is actually based on a leaked internal HTC ROM and mix-matches with other cooked up tweaks. Based on the current feedback everything isn’t top notch and you’ll be lucky if everything works perfectly from the get go. Check out two 720P video samples after the break:

Yeah the quality is far from perfect (especially compared to the iPhone 4Galaxy S or even the Droid X)
