[Q] ANy purely stock Android Gingerbread for HTC Legend? - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any ROM which gives me purely or nearly stock Android Gingerbread on HTC Legend? Or is there any mean by which we can uninstall those unwanted things from CyanogenMod 7 which I am currently running? Like the power control in notifications bar? I have already gotten rid of ADW Launcher and replaced it with Stock Android Gingerbread Launcher. Tips and help needed in this thing.

u wont find anything better than cm7.0
afaik that power control is also part of gingerbread but u can simply disable it in the cm settings...
seek and you shall find

Thanks for reminding me that I can disable the power control from the CyanogenMod settings.

and also... i dont get why ppl keep posting questions in the development section when theres an "Legend Q&A" section <.<

They do because people still answer their questions when asked in development.. If we keep ignoring them they might learn it

Even though others will disagree, CM 7 on the Legend is absolute garbage. The keyboard is sluggish and crashes are a constant issue that are never resolved. I still sticking with CM 6.1.0 as it works as intended.

i find cm 7.0.3 the best rom for the legend atm, never had a crash and my keyboard works just fine..

yea been using cm7 and as long as I don't set CPU over 800 I don't get random restart, and its been by far the smoothest rom I have tried.

I don't know for sure, but if it takes over 150 nightly attempts to make a new stable ROM for a device, I'm not touching it.

u are doing smth wrong
works like a charm here

No offense, but someone who posts in broken English doesn't qualify as a valid response. There is no 'wrong' about it. It's a 'port' and therefore will be problematic.
For now, it's like running Windows XP on a Pentium II. It will work, but it won't get the job done. Leave Gingerbread for Scorpion based devices that actually can run it smoothly due to a faster processor and more internal memory. 90MB for application memory isn't enough.

Except for the official Google ones every device is using a 'port'. The CM maintainers even have to port the latest code back to the older official devices (as was done with the N1 long before Google engineers pushed the changes to their public Gingerbread repositories).

I just checked: At the moment I've got about 150MB of user memory available. Keep in mind that my system is up and running for a few days now and that Android keeps processes in memory until it has to free some for new ones.
I dare to assert that my knowledge concerning hardware support, hardware requirements and Android ports is quite profound. I may not have been as deeply involved into merging the CyanogenMod codebase with Gingerbread as say Cyanogen back then, but I nevertheless know a lot of code well enough and I also created the CPU/arch target for the Legend locally to build and run my and the World's first Gingerbread port of Android on my Legend. Said target was later added and merged by Ricardo Cerqueira by the way.
I also dare to state that the vast majority of differences that could seriously influence performance is to be found between Éclair and Froyo and that those differences resulted in nearly doubled scores in benchmarks. Even if you don't "believe" in benchmarks (I certainly don't) a 100% plus should at least prove that the Legend if perfectly capable of running Froyo. Because the differences between Froyo and Gingerbread are so small and cover a vast majority of completely different areas (like getting rid of a lot of legacy code) Froyo and Gingerbread are quite close.
You might be using valid English – which is not worth mentioning for a native speaker anyway – but that makes your false pretences not a whit righter.

Amen! ali ba and CM7 on HTC Legend FTW! ;-)

Rom Perfection

I think its time to change the theme of this post, as the original question has been answered.
New Topic-What do we need from Samsung to create the closest to perfect rom for this phone?
PM me if you want Samsung to give us what we need, so we can show them that its wanted.
Also you can hit my thanks button just because : )
and i quote
"because you touch yourself"
oh man
Do we have anyone over 3 in here?
im actually 4.
Hey Bro
Well we need to promote creating a perfect 2.2.1 rom, because only then can we improve on GB and ICS!

...No that makes NO sense at all.
How would improving a 2.2 help with anything on GB or ICS?
Also no ROM can ever be perfect since our GPS is screwed and it works for some doesn't work for others.
Some ROMS 911 doesn't work.
There are issues that the developers just cannot fix without a bit of help from Samsung.

I agree...we also need Microsoft to create a perfect win98 before of giving us win7.
Theory
Listen the theory is to stabilize areas there where we already have degrees of stability will help us more easily figure out other problems. Its like playing minesweeper, you eventually get good and are able to beat the harder levels. Nothing is impossible even without the help of samsung. Have some faith in the skill of our developers here bros.
Although I see where you're coming from, but just know there's major updates in the way things work from 2.2(.1) -> 2.3 -> 4.0.
Honestly, devs have gotten really far with the bits and pieces we have.
We'll never have a perfect 2.2.1 or 2.3 or 4.0, why? Because devs can't pull correct drivers out of thin air, if Samsung or T-Mobile actually supported us, it'd be a hell of a lot easier.
So, honestly.. I dun know why you're saying we should perfect 2.2.1, it's outdated, it's old.. it's a completely different base than ICS, so that comparison doesn't work.
we never had a perfect donut rom either.....

You bring out very valid points. Here is what I believe about that, the vibrant itself runs best on 2.2.1, and while the others are fun they will always be laggy. I'm not says the devs are not doing good, these are very intelligent people. I just believe that we need to get the rom working at 100‰ and if we can't 99 ‰ not including the GPS. The GPS we can overlook but force closes and other things shouldn't be a part of it. I think that moving on without completion will create a bad habit. Its like not finishing building a house and moving to build the bigger one. I don't mean to argue, I just like healthy discussion. : )

Yeah, and I completely agree, I dun think devs should release a million different ROMs with the same bugs. So, on that end, I agree with you. I'd rather have a million updates of one ROM than have a million half-ass working ROMs. But, I don't think we should leave it to only 2.2.1 ROMs, some are working on 2.2.1, others on 2.3, and others on 4.0.
I can agree with that, I think we need to find a way to get the devs to collaborate on all the levels so that we can get some sweet custom roms flowing through the forums.... and I think I have an idea.... : )

Completely disagree with you there. "Others are fun they will always be laggy."
I honestly don't know if you've ever tried any GB or ICS rom.
NONE of them are "laggy" sure they have their moments when you're running 50 apps and they lag, no ****, so does Froyo. Do you realize that a ICS rom (passion) has gotten GPS to work for nearly everyone? Froyo roms aren't even CLOSE to that. No one thats tech-savvy wants to stay on Froyo, froyo is last years OS, we all want ICS and thats what the devs like. They like challenges, and we like the outcome.
What I'M trying to say is.. why stay on a old-os when we have a new one thats available and we've already accomplished so much on it in such a short time (ex. GPS)
Well I have used them all my friend, and they are laggy no much how we deny it. So lets build this Tom house!

I suspect your phone has **** inside it.
Please open the cover and remove the battery and check for any signs of ****.
You must be in the denial stage of the whole thing.
ICS has absolute no lag when doing normal things and when it does lag, its because well.. this ics wasn't built from a vibrant source like froyo is.
Ask anyone.
You certainly have not tried ics passion.
If you did, make sure there's no **** in your phone.
Everyone who tried ics says its fast, and if they do leave its because of 911 issue or the phone mute unmute issue.

Ics has less lag than any froyo rom.
Well I guess well agree to disagree. There is no need to come up with some smart allic response with no real reasoning behind it just because you have a mouth. I'm just saying with this phone ics yes even ics passion lags, maybe not on the galaxy s 2, but with the vibrant it does. Maybe your right, that it wont lag when we get a vibrant build of ics. But for now, those are the facts. Thank you for your contribution though. : )

Android on a MP3 player

OK so i just bought a Creative Zen touch 2 without doing enough research (stupid me) but for the price it's cheap. Anyway it runs Android, but the latest update is 2.2, and apparently this device has some issue with freezing (which could be RAM issues, and if I remember correctly, froyo sucked at RAM management).
As this device isn't real popular there aren't any custom ROMs that I can find. Is it really that hard for Creative to sort their issues and upgrade the systems.
I was wondering on the difficulty of making my own custom ROM, by porting from something else, another ASOP ROM maybe? Or is it just as hard as gingerbread to ICS.
Of this isn't possible I'll root the thing and just try to make the froyo ROM as light as possible.
Sorry if this is the wrong section All feedback is appreciated.

Closest thing to MIUI...

I'm looking for a rom that is similar to the Look of MIUI (obviously nothing will be very similar) but maybe something resembles it in some ways. I've recognized that there are 2 tpos of roms, the ones that follow the generic, gingerbread frame, or ICS frame (aokp, unamed, phonebricker, ICSrewed, CM7/9 etc.) and then MIUI, who kinda does their own design. I've been partial to MIUI ever since I laid my hands on it.
Reason why I'm asking for a look-a-like is because I've been running the scottish one for some time (1.11.9) but she's had the no service bug issue for some time now where everytime I attempt to make a call, 80% of the time it'll lose service and it takes like 4 tries or so till my call goes through. Unacceptable. Yet I can't keep myself away from the build. It's just so speedy. Wish I could have a more recent build for my I777 but I can't find one anywhere. I've also tried a million builds for the regular MIUI, 2.2.3 V2 being the most recent one I could find (I believe that's the most recent? I literally searched for hours), but this build also has the same call service drop bug. Can't stand it.
Can anyone help with my situation? Currently running MIUI V4 ICS, and it's sweet and all but it's wrecking my brain with how slow it isss . Anything similar to MIUI or help with a fix or newer version. Mucho appreciated!!!
Btw I'm no noob to flashing, have flashed at least 20 different roms and all, just wondering if there is anything I missed...in terms of what I'm looking for. Cus I hate settling.

Yeah I'm really looking for more than just a launcher though. I'm already aware of the creation of MIUI launcher and that's sweet but it doesn't encompass settings themes and notification draw down etc. I'm not super picky about that but I'd prefer everything to be uniform...so not gonna go with that method.

Duddeeeeeeeeee. Just went back through it and found AdyScorpius' version of MIUI. I'd gone through that before but I guess I missed this version. If it's anything like Galnet I'm gonna be soooooo happy. I'm gonna flash it now!! So excited hahah. I'm a speed freak, need my lag free interface, otherwise I get annoyed >.>
Thanks bro! Hope this rom isn't bug ridden. Seems very illegitimately put together, but all the people commend it! We'll see.

Hahah idk, I was reading up on all these bugs that I haven't really heard of in the general MIUI builds. I'm using it though and it's snappy pappy. Except going back from a conversation message, to just the conversation list. It reverts quickly, but the text doesn't load as quick as the transition. Annoyanceeeee lol. Idc though...sorta. Is good though. Is real good. Wondering if it's worth bumpin up to ICS V4 cus I didn't realize RIUI and AdyScorp were making roms like this. Trying to decide whether upgrading is worth the stupid notification swipe or not. So annoying.

MIUI sucks because it is so slow and in development. The only thing that is great about it is it's interconnected community and even app. Which is all JUST SHOW if you know how to flash your own ROMs.
If you want speed, battery, and best overall flawlessness I suggest: shostock!

I have nothing against all the Samsung Touchwiz based Roms. I just plain don't like em. I have two things that I need personally, and that is speed, and an appealing look/design. Although CM7/CM9 can have a...functional/sophisticated look to them, they aren't quite as unique and sophisticated as the MIUI themes. Namely, CM is all very square and proper, while MIUI seems to be a little more accommodating if you will. I like to speed through things, and I'm particular about the way I do things. For example: when texting someone I like to send a text, then go back to the conversation list, so that when I get a new text I can see who it was from. I used UnNamed rom for a little bit (a month maybe) - and also tried ShoStock because I'd heard a lot about that too. I flashed it, but it basically seemed to be the same thing. Anyway when using unnamed there was obvious lag interface between the message system when I'd press back twice really quick after sending a text (once to close keyboard, once to close keyboard, another to go back to conversation list). MIUI is more smooth in it's transition and seems to have not necesarilly more poignant scirpting but mayhaps faster. I like MIUI's notification bar and status bar. I like how the notifications have a page and I can click my wifi, data, airplane mode, gps, rotation, and brightness all on the same page, without having to swipe left or right to find more. Mostly I'm a fan of the themes of course, since they simply look awesome. If you care so much move to AOKP, it's better than any Samsung Touchwiz Rom I've ever used, for that type of person. I love AOKP, but I can't seem to stand the crude looking toggles/switches, and the damn launcer (all 3 of them). I find app drawers to be very unnecessary (my own personal opinion - plenty of interpretations there). But I'm willing to further discuss this if you want haha. No mean to be insulting but you basically started the engagement

Yes that is what I meant lol, spell check for the win. I went to their site and looked at the devices supported and they had someone listed as an official Porter, but he said he could not help. I'm thinking we just gather a bunch of people who are also interested and see if we can't justify a reason for them to port it for us.

No I do not know that, according to the thread they are nearing the height of development and expect to be able to port it everywhere... Currently, only device they have taken it to is the Note..

Yep, I understand. I was just saying that if it does get ported to the I9000, which if probably going to happen if it comes to the original SGS family at all, it won't take more than 20 minutes to port it, and thats with the upload time being like 10 minutes.

Ditto.. I have wanted something like this on my hardware since Honeycomb 3.0 but Google never released the source for that and the 3.0 ports for the Vibrant never made it off the ground... However, tablet mode on ICS implements UI elements from 3.0 and the API's and frameworks were released for 4.0.. This ROM is a stroke of genius with it's "Hybrid Mode".. My eyes are peeled with excitement!
Yeah hoping their next release is the milestone we need for a port. Just read o e of their nexus threads and their next release is supposed to be a game changer so keep your fingers crossed.

Guys, the Nexus S has been added under supported devices! They have a thread going over there!!
I'm not sure but I think the I9000 forums have a way of porting the Nexus S ROMS. Just hope I9000 gets it.
I was looking into it how they ported that Joy OS mod and Lewa OS mod but I have not had time to fully implement their techniques... They do seem to have ways..
Not everything can be done for us users but it would be great if this from would garnish some looks from some of our more seasoned devs..
I am considering rolling up my sleeves and messing with some packages on this one though if it is not picked up soon ...
why the hell not.. although....
That whole EU ICS error going around in the Cappy section is kinda scary though.. Very little coverage on these Vibrant threads outside of Moped mentioning it and one small topic...
That is the only thing that is freaking me out with flashing anything and moving away from my current setup...
The EU is a problem on vibrant also. If you go to the aokp thread you will see lots of people have gotten EU with the last build.

Yes, that is what is spooky about it.. Like I said earlier Moped_Ryder in our development section discussed his reservations about using any additional ICS rom in his thread for his rom due to the EU errors people with Vibrant and Cappys are having.. He also commented on a users topic who posted about a brick question in the Vibrant dev section which seems to be another EU error.
.. As I also stated earlier there is hardly any info/awareness outside of random posts here in the Vibrant section on XDA...
FYI
For anyone who gets a "reset phone" message on their Vibrant, whatever you do do not hit reset... Try restarting the device into recovery even with a battery pull without an external SD card plugged in.. I hear Odin back to stock is one thing to consider in case of these events or even using SlimIcs has proven to get the phone back up is but the internal sd may be gone so a etc/Vold.fstab editing may need to happen to boot off of external sd's...
Disclaimer... for anyone who had not read up on the EU errors Vibrant and Cappy owners are having, research it... EU stands for Encryption Unsuccessful and it seems too many data wipes may be the culprit.. many users have expressed going back to 2.2 and even Gingy in many cases, it seems to have less strain on our internal sdcards...
MP the developer of the Subzero kernel is also aware and looking into it perhaps being related to Kernel versions 3.X and up... This is something to keep an eye on folks... His effort is probably not a solitary one...

Thanks for jacking the thread, jk. You should post this info in a new thread if you haven't already so people can find it easier. Oh and I had no idea what you were talking about in your other post cause I read it half asleep lol. I apologize for any misunderstanding there might have been.

find a dev whos willing to maintain it. as long it stays true to our vision and uses cm9 we'd give support, when we can. jesus/darknessys over in the s2's i9100 original dev section can set you up, add you to the maintainer list and maybe the other guys that did it already can help you out with something.

Ditto.. I have wanted something like this on my hardware since Honeycomb 3.0 but Google never released the source for that and the 3.0 ports for the Vibrant never made it off the ground... However, tablet mode on ICS implements UI elements from 3.0 and the API's and frameworks were released for 4.0.. This ROM is a stroke of genius with it's "Hybrid Mode".. My eyes are peeled with excitement!

actually google took honeycomb and completely married it to ice cream sandwich, the two are one. ics on a tablet is the same that runs on a phone. theres a tiny switch in there that acknowledges a certain display-lenght treshold and then it drops the entire UI into tab mode. this was known for a longtime but unfortunately it trashes your phone. hybrid mode means we have hooks and rewrites sitting on top of ics aosp code, we recompiled the framework, and this stuff makes tablet mode more flexible - you dont get overlapping, apps wont be too small, you can adjust fontsizes, you can switch an app from mobileUI into tabUI and back. PA on top of it gives support for things that still break, it has a fixed market for instance, a fixed keyboard, a fixed launcher, etc. its an all-in rom for this kinda stuff.
battlekry leaving this is your hands as I wouldn't even know where to start.

[Q] Why do some want ICS so bad

I was reading a topic like this for the nexus s but I am curious why we need ICS for the tablets? What is it going to bring that honeycomb does not do?

Here we go again. Great question, I propose that in this thread tell us what ICS will not bring.
So, let's begin...
It will not bring world peace.

Surely you've run into bugginess and fc and issues with honeycomb. Or to quote a gigaom article just from today:
http://gigaom.com/mobile/details-of...social&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=gigaom
"Google was late to the tablet game and its first effort, Honeycomb, was rushed and incomplete."
No wonder even Google refuses to open source honeycomb and asked oems and customers to move onto ICS.

Agree. There's already a thousand threads about what's new with ICS (and OPs that didn't do their own research).
So here's my addition:
ICS will not get you laid.
ICS will not cool you off on a hot day.
I'm waiting ICS beacause it will bring native support to VPN connections with Group Authentication, that now is impossible to use with Honeycomb..

Well, to be honest, I haven't found any major, or noticeable, bugs on stock. Could you tell me some you have run into?
And no major fc issues either. Some of the apps indeed force close, but that is an app issue and is usually rectified with an update from play. No hc blame there.
Of course every new android version is (supposedly) better than the previous. Gingerbread was way better from froyo, it had more features, but the lack of those features in froyo doesn't make it buggy. Hope you understand what I mean.

ICS Will not convince your mother in law that S-Voice is NOT siri on android
ICS is never;
- gonna give you up
- gonna let you down
- gonna turn around and hurt you
ICS will never say "die"
ICS will never get you brownie points
I love this thread.

don't get me wrong. I brought a galaxy tab 10.1 on the day it was released in nyc, and am presently a happy owner of a tab 8.9
Just HC had a lot of bugs and fcs in its initial release, though the most current Touchwiz based on HC 3.2 is definately more stable. But of course, by now, I've blissfully moved on to aokp ICS custom rom, and naturally feel no urge to return to HC. I m sure when you upgrade to ICS after sammy releases the official version this month, you'll not want to return either.

Only cuz its a way better OS.. Best Google's work so far and it's really awesome.. Now if you want to stay with hc no1 is forcing you to do so..
It's just a dumb question IMHO.. If you have a 4 cylinders engine Chevy and out of nowhere Chevy calls you and tells to you that they want to replace your old engine for a brand new 8 cylinders engine FOR FREE, will you stay with the old 4 cylinders (that works ok but some times need oil) or will you be HAPPY and go get your new engine??
Again it's up to you to stay with your old engine or go get the new 1.. But consider yourself a dork If you don't change because you are okay with the old.
