But we'll need a kernel won't we?
[Xperia Play General] JBernardo10:
If it wasn't for the custom roms, I would feel like crap for buying this phone (Xperia Play). At least, there are some decent roms out there.

Anyway, it is a shame that Sony hasn't released, at least, the sources, or have they?
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
I know :) I'm just staying on the Gingerbread side of the fence. Screw ICS. We dont need it
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
ICS is great for us who pretty much just use the pad for emulators. Emulators work fine in ICS, and you get all the niceties (sadly the rotation animation is way up there on my list).

I could care less if Sony released an update or not, I'm still able to get a damn fine ICS experience with the aokp rom.
[Xperia Play General] mustbepbs:
Fixed.

CDMA users definitely need something.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
I have created Facebook account and it's working in socialhub but I couldn't get the contacts to sync with device. In GB there will be an option to check whether do or do not sync contacts. But I couldn't find it in ICS. How to solve this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeking:
go to your contacts and hit settings. then accounts. Then check off the "sync" icon next to facebook
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badjaguar007:
^^ Copy That.

Else you can do one more thing. Reinstall the FB app. Once I got stuck in somewhat similar thing like that.

I found that my facebook application which was restored by titanium backup didn't actually sync well with contacts. so had to reinstall. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
I checked it and its in green color. When I go further it shows only messages and calendar. It didn't show up contacts. Any idea?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
I'm talking about inbuilt social hub which lets the contacts to sync with Facebook account.. Can I re install that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badjaguar007:
Why don't you use the fb app which is AVAILABLE in market. It also syncs in the same way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
Sure it will work.. But I don't wanna pile up with apps. Social hub has to do this job and I wanted to do it. Actually when I was GB I'll remove all social hub related apps (twitter account, linked account, even default mail app) except Facebook account, still it was syncing contacts flawlessly. Now I wanted the same. Does ICS doesn't have that capability??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
Should I remove all Facebook items from ICS and install third party apps from market?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badjaguar007:
Well I think you should wait for some more time till a solution comes out. I had the same problem with SocialHub. I chose over FB Market App since I didnt have time & wanted to get my contacts asap back. :/ Still will send you any info which might be helpful on this topic :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
Thanks.. Just now Google it... It seems there is a bug in ICS that stops sync contacts particularly in contactsprovider.apk. We need to add some .xml file it seems. Which is too tech for me so m gonna search some other option for this.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] V DidDy 210:
if you have any sort of lens cleaner you can put a TINY dab on the extreme tip and LIGHTLY swirl over the front camera, that should remove any dust, but if you push too hard then you'll definitely push the dust into the cracks and likely into the screen :(

a soft tissue or swiffer sheet should work too
[HTC Desire S] xlncuk:
a few months back i rooted and installed a rom (cyanogen9) for the first time, ive use titanium to backup my apps and setttings and seperately used myphoneexplorer to backup sms etc

im liking the look of the fallout rom, can i still easily restore apps once i switch roms?? or will the fact im changing roms cause problems?

hope that makes sense

thanks
[HTC Desire S] mzr92:
If you use Rom Manager then you can create a backup so that if you are unhappy with the Rom you next install or just want to go back to your previous one you can easily restore the backup and it is like a system restore point on a computer so everything will be put back to how you had it.

I did this earlier to try out Fallout, love it and dont think I'll go back to my old Rom

Edit: sorry misunderstood your question, I've restored apps with titanium and had no issue at all, but those were all on Sense based roms no idea if it would create an issue from a non Sense based rom
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
You might tin into issues with some apps that might not be compatible with ICS. Better to try if it works for you.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadufus:
clarify jc36 clockwork recovery mod step

I need to clarify something important for the "Get Clockwork Recovery Mod step which says to follow the 1st step for S-OFF method to install ClockworkRecovery.

On the linked page http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1290841

Where it says the following:

"How to use S-OFF user

Download file and move on adb fastboot folder"​

Does "move on adb fastboot folder" mean, put the file into the folder? And if so where is the folder?

There is no such folder: "adb fastboot folder"?

Does it mean:

1. put it in the Android folder created (C:\android) to hold the files instructed by HTC Dev for unlocking the bootloader?

2. Or put it in the android-sdk folder, somewhere? May be the Platform Tools folder where adb.exe exists?

Thanks to anyone who can help clarify this step for me
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithchipz:
Yes it means put the recovery into the folder with adb.exe and fastboot.exe
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadufus:
Thanks again

Thanks for clarifying that. As you can imagine I am a noob. It would be awesome if the brief procedure by jc36 could be expanded upon into an exact step-by-step (hand-holding) for all the noobs out there. Jumping back and forth between the forum links can get confusing -- especially some of the posts are old... leaving one wonder if the instructions are outdated etc!

May be I will do it if I get through this safely....
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithchipz:
Brief is good :p although I do understand how a noob would want a step-by-step guide. In relation to date, none of the links I gave you were really outdated. The datestamp at the top of the thread might say '6th October 2011, 10:00 AM' but if you look at the bottom of the post it'll say something like 'Last edited by (username); 21st March 2012 at 09:32 AM' on threads/posts that get updated. Welcome to the Legend forums! :D
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadufus:
Further Clarification

I am continuing with my quest to clarify and document the whole jc36 procedure accurately.

1. After you have unlocked the bootloader are there any mode changes to be made before running SuperTools?

2. After running SuperTools, following the 1st step for S-OFF Clockwork Recovery Mod how do you put the phone into "fastboot" mode? Does the phone have to be disconnected again, powered down, restart with volume held down, highlighting Fastboot then press Power button and reconnecting to computer? Is this the procedure or is there another way while it still connected to the computer?

3. Continueing with Clockwork Recovery Mod code where it says:

"In fastboot mode:

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery_legend_5.0.2.8.img"​

I'm guessing the code above is for command prompt for the c:\android directory as done previously for HTC Dev unlocking of the bootloader?

Open up command prompt. ( Start> Run> Type CMD,).

Command Prompt: cd c:\Android)

Type in Command Prompt:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery_legend_5.0.2.8.img

Correct?

4. After completing Clockwork recovery Mod it says to "Boot into Recovery mode and take a backup of your ROM" -- again do you disconnect the phone to do this and boot into the bootloader to select Recovery mode? And how to you backup? Is it to an SD card or is the phone connected to the computer to take the backup to your hardrive?

Thank you to all in advance who take the time to go over these questions.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithchipz:
1. By mode changes I'm assuming you mean something like enabling USB debugging which is definitely recommended.

2.You get into fastboot mode by rebooting into the bootloader (Hold volume down+trackball+power button). Fastboot is the first selected option so all you have to do is press the power button to choose it and then it will go into fastboot mode

3.Yes in command prompt you navigate to the folder that has adb.exe, fastboot.exe and the recovery image and then carry out those commands

4.If you've flashed a ROM that supports it then in phone options(hold down power button) you can select Reboot and then Recovery. Otherwise to get to recovery you would have to go through the bootloader. To backup you go to Backup and Restore in CWM and select Backup or alternatively you can use ROM Manager to do a backup. The phone doesn't have to be disconnected and the backups are made to the micro SD Card.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadufus:
run in to trouble at the beginning

I have run into an error with the command provided with HTC Dev Unlock Bootloader.

I have followed all instructions very carefully. When in command prompt I get this error after entering:

bootloader now unlocked successfully

I just flashed the RUU that HTC Dev recommended for my phone, the version it should have before attempting to unlock the bootloader.

My phone originally had this updated version anyway so I never updated it on my first attempt.

After reading the forums here for people having similar issues I flashed their recommended RUU for the Legend and from that point on the command in command prompt worked. I have now unlocked the bootloader ... :)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadufus:
what about gapps?

I finally rooted my phone and flashed cm7.2 ROM successfully after some nail biting experiences... it is not as simple as the instructions posted earlier in this forum make it appear... There were some issues I ran into. I will post an explanation of how I resolved them soon.

What good is a new android ROM without essential Google apps? I know they are not packaged due to licensing but I can not find a reasonable explanation of how to get them on my phone. I thought it would be simple but it is not. Right now I can not download any apps...

I read the gapps packages should be installed during the flashing of the ROM... that point is missing from the instructions here! So what now? Do I have to run through the process of flashing the ROM again along with the gapps package this time?

I tried installing the latest Google Play app but it would not connect to the server -- whatever that means -- after entering in my google account.

Is there any way to get the apps downloaded directly to my computer so I can copy them to the SD card? I did find a couple of solutions to do this but you need to enter google account details and some id number for the phone which I can not find... what is the identifier for the phone and where?

Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated because at this point the whole new fresh ROM is useless...
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asovse1:
You can flash GApps at any time. Whether it's during installation, right after first boot, or years later. Make sure you flash the appropriate .zip.

You can use APK Downloader to get them straight from the Play Store to your computer in .APK format.

I have had the legend for ages and wanted to breath new life into it. I am using a ssensation as my everyday phone and that was a doddle to root compared to this!

I have gotten as far as flashing recovery. I dl'd the S-OFF .img from here and placed it in my adb folder. I tried running the adb command and only got as far as

"fastboot flash recovery" when

"error: neither -p product specified or ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT set" shows up.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
You do see the words "locked"? that means its "locked" you need to follow the steps provided by htcdev in the email they would have sent you including the unlock.bin file with out those steps you can't do anything, its like its still not rooted.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icanttinkofaname:
I got no email from them with an "unlock.bin" file. the only one i got was a confirm my account one. do I need to start over?! :(

EDIT: I see that I actually never unlocked my bootloader! step one was sittin below the RUU files. I got mixed up. nevermind, thanks anyway!
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
Oh dear, not sure about that one.

I do know that when you update to hboot 1.02 you need to do an adb command to get a device token that you have to send to htcdev via the website including your email address they then return an email with instructions on what to do next.

For future reference this topic has already been covered in the hboot unlock thread, forum rules ask you to search before posting questions.

Its also important to read the guides that other community members have spent their time and effort to write and follow the steps provided. :thumbup:

Good luck to you & I hope you can still get it unlocked, being as the unlock token is unique to your phone you might be stuck if you can't get it.

Hi all,

So I've been trying to follow to install CM 7.1 on my HTC legend.

HBOOT- 1.02

S-ON

It took a while but i have managed to unlock the bootloader. However i cannot figure out how to root it with HTC supertool v3.

I open supertools and on step 1 it says 'abd out of data' but it does work sometimes. On step 3 it gets stuck on 'Loading root Script'.

'Does anyone have any advice on how to get the phone past this point?

Thanks for any help.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithchipz:
Hi,

I'm not sure about what to do as I did this procedure months ago. For me, it worked and it was an easy process. The things that I did were:

-Enable USB Debugging on the phone

-Have the Android SDK installed in my computer and in my PATH

-Launched SuperTool.exe and then used step 1 and then 3 to root with phone connected via usb

That's just what I did to get it to work. I'd suggest you download it again maybe just to make sure nothing is corrupted.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spoorman88:

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kimmoth:
I've modded a few phones, but this one's a *****; I keep getting stuck at every step, and uncovering this breakdown hasn't been a picnic either.

My hboot's 1.02, and I've managed to unlock the bootloader, but I also installed Clockworkmod Recovery before getting root. None of the options in it work, and when I start the phone in, um, whatever it's called mode, there's a few errors about a missing or wrong file as it checks the SD card.

I dunno, maybe it's no big deal and I can just have another go at HTC Super Tools now I actually know what I'm meant to do with it, although I seem to recall it just spitting out errors anyway...

Which brings me to my question for now: what mode should the phone be in when you run HTC Super Tools? Should you plug it in before or after you run it, or doesn't it matter? EDIT: NM, I went ahead and tried it in that hboot(?) mode.

Step one seemed to go okay, but when I do step 3 it just hangs at Loading root script...

I think you can just do it while the phone is normally on with debug mode enabled.
