[Legend General] bunu:
So are you saying that this can be overclocked to 1 ghz and the phone will be stable or that it can game like the n1/desire?

Well I heard that this is supposed to be a budget phone so it will be good for the price. I heard it was $150 USD for a 2 year contract.
[Legend General] JokerAce:
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: That's great news!!!! I am so gonna get it when it gets into Singapore.
[Legend General] Taknarosh:
No, that isn't what he is saying. He said that it has the same dedicated

GPU

as the N1.

Meaning anything graphical will be offloaded to the same GPU that powers the N1. So speeds might not be up to par when it comes to things like load time, but graphics should be almost up to par.
[Legend General] bunu:
sorry I might have overlooked the GPU part. Well this will be a great phone for the price.
[Legend General] Double-UA:
From Magic to Legend...

Just ordered mine yesterday and it should arrive on Friday :)

Can't wait to lay my hands on this one...
[Legend General] lambrospower:
on Friday ?????? where did you got that so soon ? it won't be release till april
[Legend General] vegetaleb:
amazon.uk will deliver this piece of art on April 1: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=htc+legend

Price is only 20 pound more than actual Hero!!! If only it will be true in my country where the Hero cost 450$ :eek:

Anyway I just hope it will have Live wallpapers or we will have to wait for cooked ROMs
[Legend General] lambrospower:
yes it's on 1 april not this friday :P
[Legend General] vegetaleb:
Any news about the video recording modes?

VGA 25fps should be very acceptable after the crappy one of Hero.

Also I wonder if the LED flash will be strong
[Legend General] Double-UA:
Probably too optimistic delivery date...

I bought mine here and as you can see, they advertise that delivery is on 12 March...
[Legend General] ohyeahar:
Well, if they do ship nearly a month early, then you paid a premium for it. They charge about 64 Euro more than Clove...

Nonetheless, I hope they really do ship your device on the advertised date so you can confirm to us how awesome it is!
[Legend General] vegetaleb:
Like Indosat that said they will have it on 3rd of March and postponed it to the 28th...

Anyway I still have questions without official answers:

-Will it have Live wallpapers?

-Cif,VGA or D1 video recording?

-Will the camera be the same as Desire or Hero?

-The GPU will be the same as Desire?

-Torch app like the SE one?

Also waiting for reviews of the screen under sunlight,I hope it will be better than N1
[Legend General] vegetaleb:
Now that the Legend is available in some countries, I think it's time for XDA to open a Developper section :rolleyes:

Specially that we need a modded ROM for Live wallpapers :p
[Legend General] Double-UA:
It should arrive today...

Received confirmation from TNT that my Legend should be delivered today :)

It looks like I will enjoy my new toy even faster :)

Will post my findings later on...

Cheers!
[Legend General] vegetaleb:
This is so weird!

HTC released the Legend in Belgium while the rest have to wait for April :confused:

Perhaps they want to test it on a selected country for marketing purpose...

@Double_UA Congrats on the phone :)

When you will receive your ''precious'' please tell us what's the capacity of the SD card, how loud is the ringtone volume and if the camera video recording is good or crappy :rolleyes:
[Legend General] Double-UA:
SD card

I received it yesterday and will start it up and configure it this evening :)

First impression; it looks very solid and the metal housing is unique.

Capacity of the SD is 2GB. More news later on...

Cheers! :D
[Legend General] vegetaleb:
Enjoy your baby :D

I will add to my list of question:

-Can you try the screen outside under sunlight (with max brightness) to see if you read a SMS for exemple without problem or if the menu can be clearly readable? I am asking this because the Techradar and Engadget reviews are giving very opposite reports
[Legend General] rooomish:
I bought it yesterday in CZ

During normal use it seems to me, that 600 Mhz is good enough, everything is going smoothly - well optimized. Design is great!
[Legend General] rooomish:
Direct sunlight reading

Well, the screen looks dimmed, but f.e. the text of SMS is readable.
[Legend General] BicolXpress:
color of the battery cover

the anttenna is attached to the batterry cover...im wondering if we can buy a different colored cover for the battery like the pic on the link. i think the green cover looks nice =)

unlimit-tech.com/blog/wp-content/Picture/htc-legend-airs.jpg
[Legend General] vegetaleb:
@ rooomish Thanks for trying! Compared to Hero it's better?
[HD2 General] IkeHillard:
For example. On the custom rom I am using the home screen has a call history..

I want it to show the calendar events for today

also how do you turn on auto rotate?

is that possible to do ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicokey17:
Hello. I am new to this forum thing!

I see that a lot Hero owners have the 2.73 Build Number! Well my phone still says

Firmware Version - 1.5

Build Number - 1.56.651.2 (and some more numbers)

Software Version - 1.56.651.2

It seems to me as though I need an upgrade! I have looked through the forums to see how I can get to 2.73, but none of them gave a direct answer! If there is a post out there with this information, can someone be kind enough to post it here? Or just give me step by step directions on how I can get this?! I would greatly appreciate it!

Other Information - I tried going to the HTC site for an upgrade, but it doesn't show anything there, only for Sync upgrades. Thank you in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gu1dry:
2.73 builds are for GSM Heroes. You have CDMA Hero, which the latest official build 1.56
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicokey17:
OOOH! Haha. Thank you so much! So I guess I'm good then! :)
[Nexus One General] audino:
hi,

ive downloaded betasms from market and tried to send a sms via voipraider.com but it wont work? has anyone tried betasms?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thematrixkid17:
Hey guys, I've heard that somewhere there's an apk floating around for the android music player that works on the hero ROMs. Does anyone have it? I like the simplicity.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 27s:
Unless I am mistaken, I believe you can just go Add to Home > android widget > music. That is the stock android music apk.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] darchstar:
Yea, you are mistaken, that just goes off the htc music app. But i'm sure you could probably get the stock android music player to work though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] paulobrien:
Edit: Do not apply at this time unless you want to help debug a boot-loop!

I need some CDMA users to do a quick test for me! :)

I've knocked up a custom kernel for CDMA devices with all the usual stuff in the GSM Hero kernel, EXT3/4 support, compcache support, NFS etc. etc., but it needs testing (I don't have a CDMA device).

If you want to try it out, nandroid backup, download and flash the update zip, and let me know how you get on! :)

Download: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...om/301060/hero-cdma-modaco-custom-kernel-1-0/

Note: this is intended for use on a MoDaCo Custom ROM!

Thanks!

P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
i'll test it out...let me download it first...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Just download it...will test it for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] novajeeper:
DL'ing now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
Dling now hope it works
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Yay something new to statisfy my flashing addiction...that could sound bad. :o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] paulobrien:
As usual, NO idea if it'll work... :P

P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
Looks like it might be stuck in a rolling boot. It goes blank then it goes to the Nexus boot, blank, nexus.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Reboot loop!!! A2SD says 'Permission Denied'.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
also stuck in boot loop.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
I pulled the battery, wiped, then tried again and this is what I got...

E:Can't symlink /system/lib/modules/2.6.27-mck-1.0

E:Failure at line 5:symlink /system/lib/modules STSTEM:lib/modules/2.6.27-mck1.0

Installation aborted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
PHEW, I thought it was just me not being patient. LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
lol nope doing restore now, then ill wipe and try again see if I get the same thing you do
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
Once this bootloop issue is resolved, is this kernel suppose to address the power management issue of the missing modules?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
I was able to get it to load, but the DDMS trace flagged several Permission Denied messages when A2SD was trying to load. No access to the ext3 partition = no files to load = boot loop.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
I just did a restore, maybe i'll try it again...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
boot loop here
[Hero CDMA Android Development] paulobrien:
OK, can anyone get a log of where it's crashing?

P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
How? This is what I got when I wiped than flashed...

E:Can't symlink /system/lib/modules/2.6.27-mck-1.0

E:Failure at line 5:symlink /system/lib/modules STSTEM:lib/modules/2.6.27-mck1.0

Installation aborted.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] novajeeper:
Weird. I DL'd and flashed on top of Fresh 1.0.

I was expecting a boot loop as everyone mentioned, but the system comes up with no prob.

Kernel Version: 2.6.27-mck-1.0

Phone works,Data,etc...I'll try more and let you know.

note: WiFi is unsuccesful in obtainiing a IP address.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Thomas1218:
What can i type into a terminal emulator on my phone to remove wavesecure? I typed in

$ su

# rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk

then it gave me

rm: remove ' /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk'?

then i put

y

then it gives me

rm: cannot remove ' /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk' : Read-only file system

Anyone?

Edit: sorry i posted this in the kernel thread. I was just in the rom thread and forgot that i left that one and got into this one
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
you have to adb remount first.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
mount -o remount -rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Thomas1218:
THANKS!!! Do I need to punch anything in after its removed or will exiting the terminal make everything how it was before mounting it. Sorry for I am command line n00b
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
When I try and pull compcache.sh I get this error...

remote object '/system/init.db/compcache.sh' does not exist

What the heck am I doing wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
/system/init.d/compcache.sh

There is no ".db"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
LOL oops. I KNEW I was missing something. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Not your fault, I was confused by that for a couple minutes too lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
I had com.smithmicro.DM go bananas twice now and peg the CPU. What's that process actually trying to do?

EDIT: I also have android.process.media going crazy. I routinely remove the HTC Music Player (I like Meridian much better), but I haven't added any media to the phone since the last time I flashed it. I guess I'll wait and see if it lets go of the system in a bit... I've had Android take an absurdly long time to enumerate media files after doubleTwist has loaded the sdcard (but again, haven't added any, shouldn't be any need to update the database).

EDIT2: The media updater finally let go of the CPU. Took 10 min or so.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Lessthantito:
I flashed this over Fresh 1.0 and definitely faster than it was before everything is working fine so far
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Seems to me like SmithMicro makes compression(stuffit??) and media software.

Anything like that running?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Yeah, Smith Micro is responsible for Stuffit, among other things. Google-ing around makes it sound like that process has something to do with the sdcard, which would go along with android.process.media going bananas a while later.

It's still running, it's just not consuming any CPU. It can do whatever it wants as long as it's not consuming any cycles. :)

I'll have to snoop around and figure out what it's actually part of.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theraginasian:
TOP NOTCH WORK!

This Kernel with compcache enabled is tops. Working real nice on TTG 0.1.6. Phone feels twice as fast!

I've added instructions on how to enable compcache using this kernel to my Cheat Sheet. I will also post it in here for those who may find it helpful.

Check my cheat sheet too though you may find other helpful goodies!

Enable compcache w/ MoDaCo Custom Kernel (MCK)

Forum Post: MoDaCo Custom Kernel (MCK)

Thanks Paul!

1) Pull compcache.sh

adb pull /system/init.d/compcache.sh ./

2) Open ./compcache.sh with TextEdit

3) Uncomment all lines

4) Push compcache.sh

adb push ./compcache.sh /system/init.d

5) Reboot!

6) Confirm that it works

abd shell cat /proc/ramzswap

7) you should see something similar to the following output:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
Thanks for the info! Weird thing about that though is my compcache.sh was commented out, but I got the same output like yours above when I did that command.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theraginasian:
That is strange, as Paul specifically instructs you to perform this step, even for the latest download of his ROM... perhaps it is enabled by default, no one has noticed?

Help!?

Either way... everything certainly seems 2x snappier, not to mention I can now cold-boot in 1.3min... EPIC! This is truly great stuff. Not to mention if you donate you get Kitchen access... almost worth the donation alone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] VinceOB:
I donated, but I also dont like the look of the old style so I went back to the "newer" look.. LOL I havent figured out how to change the UI yet...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ambiong:
Noob question

Please help.. I flashed the MCK 1.2 and I cannot enable compcache. Everytime I enter adb pull /system/init.d/compcache.sh ./ it says cannot create ".\": No such file or directory.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david279:
adb pull /system/init.d/compcache.sh .

That works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lostnfound53:
I actually went and pulled in all the necessary files from this ROM into a Fresh 1.1 image and can confirm that it does not work. I guess the kernel has to be enabled to allow compcache to function?

This is what happens when the init.d script tries to run:

sh init.d
insmod: can't insert '/system/lib/modules/lzo_decompress.ko': invalid module format
insmod: can't insert '/system/lib/modules/lzo_compress.ko': invalid module format
insmod: can't insert '/system/lib/modules/xvmalloc.ko': invalid module format
insmod: can't insert '/system/lib/modules/ramzswap.ko': invalid module format
swapon: can't stat '/dev/block/ramzswap0': No such file or directory

I am by no means a linux expert, though I do know my way around the command prompt. Just throwing some knowledge out there in case someone else has though of trying this. I was going to wipe and reinstall everything but didn't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling and re-customizing all my apps/ui settings!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] fchipm:
Since the kitchen is for premium only I've not yet used it.

If I choose to cook a ROM with Sense removed and no HTC APKs and nothing extra, would I in essence get a Vanilla 1.5 ROM?

That's what I'd really like to run on my Hero (since the AOSP 1.6 isn't working for me)

I'd be willing to support Modaco and become a premium to use the kitchen if that in fact works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bcnice20:
ok so i reflashed modaco and it went from automatically reading 48 to 0

so i tried uncommenting using notepad didnt work

then i downloaded textpad and noticed that there

was like 5 more lines so i uncommented them rebooted and it works read 131 now thanks for the advice
[Hero CDMA Android Development] grifforama:

Are you saying we should redownload the Modaco Custom Rom ?

I used the kitched yesterday to download a custom custom ROM. Should reflashing another MCCR sort this out ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] paulobrien:
Yeah! :-)

P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] paulobrien:
You'd still get the HTC apps for messaging, calendar etc. etc., you just get the Standard Launcher instead of Sense (aka Rosie).

P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] p926g88:
So is anyone who has verified through cat /proc/ramzswap that compcache is enabled experiencing the lag issues that were mentioned earlier, or were those in fact just people who had not enabled compcache correctly?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Mr. Biggz:
Prepare phone for light speed.

No, no ,no light speed is too slow.

Light speed, too slow?

Yes, we're gonna have to go right to ludicrous speed.

Gasp!!!

Flashed over ttg .16 no problems.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] koricua74:
Flashed over Freshhh 1.1 booted with no problems. My phone booted up really fast compared to the stock kernel. So far my phone feels a bit snappier hopefully it's not a placebo effect. Will report back after using it after a couple of days.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
so is the 131072kb only for the MCR from the kitchen?

I keep getting 48976

Would someone please post up a mirror for the link, my job has blocked the download site.

Thank you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phonetec:
any idea on how i can get this flashed over AOSP 2.0.1????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
<shrug> Boot to recovery, wipe the phone, flash the ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
I know this is a stupid question, but how do I "uncomment" the compcache file?

I opened it using text editor, but don't know where the "comments" are. Any help? Also, when pushing it back through ADB, it fails.

Please help! I'm running Fresh 1.1 ROM. (I've seen other people who are using it and got it to work successfully...at least i think). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ljmeli:
I believe in Fresh you have a program call ES File explorer. open that. navigate to /system/init.d. long press on compcache.sh, select copy. Navigate back to your SD card and paste it there. while in SD card, open compcache.sh. delete all the '#' symbols and save.

I was not able to copy the modified file from my SD card to /system/init.d (looking at the properties of the folder it is read only, I don't know how to chance it using ES file explorer) so from there I moved the modified compcache.sh file onto my computer and pushed it into /system/init.d on my phone by using the fresh kitchen. Let me know if that works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
Thanks so much for the quick reply! I'm gonna try it in a little bit. I'll let you know how it goes!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
when I try to push it through ADB it says "failed to copy"...."read only file system".

What am I doing wrong?

-alex
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
You have to run the command "adb remount" first when make any changes. This question has been already asked several times, so please read in the future.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phonetec:
yeah, tried that, just get a black HTC screen
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coldheat1906:
Would someone please post up a mirror for the kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
Same happens with AOSP 1.6. But as Paul already stated that this kernel is designed for 1.5, or more specifically, MCR.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
So...I pulled the compcache file....deleted all the # signs, and pushed it back to /system/init.d

but when I check it, I get this:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
I think it's working for you
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
You're not doing anything wrong
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
I still cannot get the full disk size, i've tried the custom kernel on modaco's 2.0 and even ttg & gumbo 1.5
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
That is the full disk size
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alexthearmo:
oh. ok. I thought most people said it should be around 75%. mine is showing 100...that's why I was confused.

Is this harmful for my internal hardware at all? I know that swapping is bad for SD cards, but what about compcaching?

Im a total newb to all of this stuff. (I've been flashing ROM's/themes for a while, but never working with kernels or tweaking stuff).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
I'm only still getting 48976 after uncommenting.

and ramzswap works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
It's adjustable in the compache.sh

I have mine set to 64000
[Hero CDMA Android Development] d1msum4lyfe:
Yes, I understand that it's adjustable

Mine will not use the full disk size or anything above 48976

Which has been bothering me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gomorrah:
Well, you're not alone. Mine is set to 131072 and only reads 48976 also.
