[Q] how to push my awesome htc legend even futher - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys,
i've recently installed homics 2.0 on my legend and i really love it, it's so smooth and stable and it looks so good. But the problem is, i'm addicted to music and i love playing games and texting. that requires a lot of cpu and ram from my legend. so i overclocked it to 787 Mhz ( I can't do better )
my score on antutu is good but are perhaps some tips and tricks to push it a little more or keep it stable at higher Mhz.
or would CM 9.1 work even faster than homics 2.0.
thanks a lot guys and it would be cool to post your antutu score
(it's so nice to see how some people still keep working on the older htc legend. i think everybody on this forum appreciates this A LOT. so a big thanks to all htc legend developers!! )

Never mind dumb answer lol

do you like cm 9.1, does it run as smooth as cm7.2 (homics 2.0) ?

OK you deserve an explanation, I read your post then started talking about something else not exactly related to your question so just deleted it lol
Anyway my opinion is for pure reliability, relatively bug free, overall best performance is cm7.2 cause its lightweight (small footprint) and pretty light on resources too.
Im using jellybean ATM and it gives the highest antutu score I've ever seen on my phone of [email protected] MHz, however its only alpha version and not 100% but good enough as a daily as the important phone functions work + WiFi and Bluetooth.

[Discussion] CyanogenMod7

THREAD RULES: We DO NOT ask for ETA or release dates in this thread!
So it seems like everybody goes crazy when it comes to the porting of CM7. But why?
I got my hands on a SGS2 with CM7 installed. Tried it, experienced it a little. From what I experienced the CM7 wasnt something that special. I asked the owner of the phone what he though of the ROM. To my surprise he said "it's just a ROM". He also mentioned that the stock ROM was smoother.
So now I'm wondering, why all the fuzz? What are you expecting from CM7? What makes it so special and so popular?
I'm pretty sure that a lot of people who craves for the porting of CM7 has no clue of this.
(off topic: tbh, i'd rather prefer MIUI.)
edit: for the interface
My sister's Backflip has CyanogenMod 7 installed with 2.3.3 (Not even Froyo is released in Asia-Pacific regions) , it allows her to have OC/UV kernels from 600Mhz to 748Mhz . Her phone is wayyyyy less laggier than stock .(the difference is obviously obvious)
I'm not really good on those areas but arent you able to do that using SetCPU?

he said using oc/uv.. his sister device only support 600mhz by default, but because she uses custom oc/uv kernel, she can achieve 748mhz with help of setcpu. it depends on clock stepping that were supported by kernel, not by setcpu. setcpu only help to configure those clock stepping
Oh, never knew about that. From my use of SGA 800mhz is doing alright.
And as I mentioned, not really good at those areas so I didnt even know that "oc/uv" was overclock and undervolt xD
Some bugs fixed are gonna be fixed in CM. Camera quality should be bit better. Theme engine is built into ROM, so there will be much more themes for SGA. Im also excited about haptic feedback (not sure about this one).
And much more...
What i wish most for, is fix for SoD...

I'm not really excited for cyanogenmod, but for MIUI. I want it so bad!
MiUi is cyanogen based, if I'm not wrong.
First off I'm sure in cm there will be accurate battery reporting. No ****ty jumps in percentage.
Second, if CM is under way I believe developers will include uv, through kernels or modules. Overclocking though, may not be necessary.
Other than that the rom has so many tweaks. Over time and development CM will make our original firmware outmoded because it WILL get smoother.

Speed, stability, power, eyecandy, etc, etc.
But most of all; bugfixes and much more stability compared to stock firmware, as it is said that CM7 is build from the ground up so in my eyes it won't or even can't have the flaws that stock has.
Hey, it's only my opinion.
i think it`s only way to forget about SODs
Cyanogen is popular for a few reasons. It incoporates most worthwhile mods and runs normaly as well if not better than stock. Plus for me on a personal view it will help to get miui for sga.

You gave me a reason to wait for CM7 (Y)
hahaha..if you want to know..CM is a special ROM I guess, more unlock option on kernel than stock ROM, so I can say CM is a very customizing ROM.
for a prove, u can use an app called Tasker, on that app u can get more customized settings if u using CM.
CMIIW. sorry bad english

MIUI??? like really?

So I have been switching between MIUI and CM7 for a very long time now, both on the fascinate and droid incredible 2. now i dont know why but i always seem to find cm7 so much faster and snappier but i love how polished and customisable MIUI is... i always end up going back to cm7. does anyone else notice this? i know alot of people say quadrant scores are a bad representation of phone speed but with cm7 on glitch kernel i can easily hit 4000 when OC'd to 1400 ghz....but then when on MIUI with the same OC i can barley get over 2000 to a 2200 in quadrant. i dont understand how the difference can be so great between the two. i really like MIUI... but if i have to sacrifice more than half the performance of cm7 just for a bit more polish then whats the point? does anyone else have the same problem?

Which is the smoothest rom?

Came back from Epic Touch (lost in the mail by the repair site after a brick, the replacement phone they bought for me from ebay has a lost/stolen esn), and I cannot stand little lags here and there.
Has sprint/htc made any improvements at all, like gpu acceleration or sd card optimization since last October? Right now I'm running Chogardjr3D blue rom, and it's night and day compared to the epic touch, where everything is silky smooth and gpu accelerated.
Any recommendations on a smooth rom?

If you wanna stay on a sense base id say viper
Eternity is hands-down the smoothest UI experience this far on the 3D, MeanROM is probably a bit quicker but definitely bot smoother.
Thanks, which ones of the mentioned roms have everything working?
If I remember correctly, MIUI don't support wimax on principle, or has that changed?

Any sense based ROMS have everything working. I have been using MEANRom for a couple of months and have no issues and no lag/stuttering at all. MIUI will never have 4G working as stated in their thread.

Remember OP, this is a thread asking for opinions and on a smooth ROM. I am going to have to disagree with Joe with how smooth MeanROM is. Your best bet is just to flash different ROMS and see which one you think is the best.
MeanROM has been the smoothest ROM I have used that is sense based with everything working
I have been using CleanROM for the past 6 or so months and it has been great. Always get great battery life and stability with Scott's ROM's.
You will have to play around with things stock builds work well with bloat removed . Oc kernels roms can be fast doesn't help battery life out tho. But its what you prefer and want outta things.

MEAN ROM! Lol it's by far the best rom out there.

InfectedROM Eternity, nothing else is as fast or smooth. It now comes with the v6 supercharger script so with that on, nothing comes close to speed or smoothness. Even without the script enabled, however, it's still smooth, you'll just have less free RAM without the script

Lol everything is smooth just depends on what the OP has in mind that he wants outta a rom the looks,battery life,stock,stable...
I'm running MikRunny v1.11 right now and I think its pretty smooth.
The first rom I tried was Leedroid which is also very good, but its an optimized and tweaked stock rom.
And I was looking for something newer, an rom which contained atleast Sense 3.5 and had no serious issues.
And well you have many roms and you just can look in the threads that list these roms. Because I came from DHD I already knew what I wanted an stable rom with all phone features working and newer software like sense 3.5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458032
These threads are super subjective.
Any launcher that is not android native will typically be "laggy". This can be fixed by increasing scrolling speed and turning off fancy animations.
I can tell you from years of doing this any rom that is a stock rom will be the same, unless they use a different launcher and or mod the animation speed.
Just use them all, use what you think is best. I have an Epic Touch the hardware acceleration on it doesn't make that big of a difference.
You should sometimes ad somethings yourself. Like the oc deamon and controller and there are scripts that improve the performance.

[Q] [Considering buying] Some specific questions...

I'm really interested on the Motorola Atrix (non-AT&T's), so I've been doing some research here on XDA and other places and it seems a really good device to buy.
It has official ClockworkMod recovery (regular and touch), official CyanogenMod 7.2, a great community behind it, coming ICS to the AT&T's version (which would be useful to get some proper libs for CM9 and perhaps CM10) and the benchmark results are fairly good.
But there are some questions that remain unanswered.
I looked for videos on YouTube of the CyanogenMod 7.2 on the Atrix to evaluate the experience and smoothness, but they are all old (early in the days of unofficial builds). Also, most of them have 1.4, 1.45 or 1.5 GHz of CPU clock.
I'm interested to know how it performs with a recent official CyanogenMod 7.2 and its stock kernel at default 1 GHz of CPU clock (again, both experience and smoothnes). The stock CM kernel is 2.6.32, right?
I appreciate any feedback you guys can give me. Thanks again! :good:
Me use 20120701
Change kernel ( last CM7 faux )
Work very well.
Battery life is good.
Now using 20120708
Stock kernel.
Good job. Stable and fast.
Sory for bad english.

Hey
I own an ATT Atrix 4G device which runs on the official stable cm7.2.
I never over/under clock my device because i hate doing that..
Its is very smooth, very quick and responsive. No lag at all.
Also there are better launchers (i.e. the touchwiz launcher) which are way more responsive then stock ADW and have absolutely no startup lag.
So long story short, it is a great device, I love it and i would suggest so buying it.
Sorry for my bad English, Nathan.
I'd invest in a different phone that doesn't overheat and doesn't lag as much as the atrix.
lags? what kind of lags? I am using official CM7 with stock kernel and it's orrery stable and fast. but sometimes I wanna go to back to blur ROM for webtop, this is one of the best features.
Thanks everyone for your answers! :good:
One more question: I found the device folder of the official CyanogenMod, but I can't find the kernel sources of the official CyanogenMod. I only found these sources, but they are not on the CyanogenMod's github. Could someone tell me where to find the official kernel sources?
As always, thanks in advance! :good:

I can't complain about my good old Atrix, but I have to admit that Nexus is possibly the future of Google.

[Q] what´s the fastest JB rom?

Hi, I want to know which JB do you recomend as the fastest, I´ve tried the epinter, jokersax, aokp, and miui. But still the Mrom scores higher with the antutu benchmark.
Currently I´m using Mrom and so far the battery life and the speed of the Atrix is awesome. Without having to overclock I get 5,340 of score, Is there a JB rom that can score to at least 5,000 with the antutu without having to overclock?
Why do benchmarks mean so much to you?
You already tried all the JB roms pretty much anyways, you most likely answered your own question.

Benchmarks mean nothing. Whether your phone lags doing day to day operations is the only thing that matters

Synthetic benchmarks are completely useless and meaningless in that they do not represent normal day-to-day usage patterns. Personal experience is by far the best benchmark there is.

I got a kick out of the benchmark results that came out with iPhone 5 vs GS3. IPhone was higher slightly and isheeps were doing circle jerks because of it. I've never seen a cross platform benchmark test and I tried saying how benchmarks do not mean a thing. I got down voted hard.

Its funny too because in a few months there will probably be an android phone that's even twice as powerful as the gs3. The isheep thinking they will always have the best are sadly mistaken.

Till now all JB roms are experimental, so I prefer a stable one, rather than fast.
You won't find a "very fast" JB rom 'cause we dont have the drivers neither the kernel for managing everything as the GB roms
I tried several and at least with the day-by-day use, epinters was the best, no lag but some games didn't run as fast as the GB rom

thanks to everyone for the responses, I´ll keep my Mrom for now and wait to see if Motorola releases the Drivers so we can have the hardware acceleration on JB.
