Review of v.27

*if you do read/follow this i take no responsibility for anything on your device or yo baby momma.

I think this rom needs one of these because we keep getting posts from people having problems but not really giving any info...

ok, so first off...... this is what you need to do................... (wipe all, battery and the other one at the bottom dont really matter, swap, the bigger the better, i use anywhere from 120-230ish. normal 5xx ext4 and then remainder fat) i dont usually repair ext, i did this time idk why before upgrading to ext3 then 4 but usually dont.

BEFORE YOU POST IT DOESNT WORK HAVE A LOGCAT AND YOUR DEVICE INFO (PHONE/CLASS OF SD AND SIZE/PARTITION SETTINGS ETC). this doesnt work or that doesnt work doesnt tell the dev anything. if you dont have adb or logcat avail..... you shouldnt really be flashing roms in the first place. it takes maybe 15 seconds to get logcat up, run the log, and copy, hit the # code sign in the forum, and post your results.

****noitce. legend roms are big, 100+mb..... they take awhile to load on first boot. first boot takes on average 10 min to load. so dont get disparaged when you see the nexus boot animation. thats good. if your watching logcat, you will see that this is still loading the rom. GIVE IT TIME.

the screen will go black and flash the lockscreen. keep it there. dont touch anything. give it about 10 min ( so after you hit reboot system your probably going to wait 30 min before you even touch your phone again).

once it does, hit menu and unlock, then first its gonna ask you if you wanna back up info. if you do then hit next. if you do this it will take a min. then it will go to next screen. i never connect to wifi to log in. find it causes more problems in roms. log into google/social networks. hit finish. once you hit finish it will take you to the black htc screen. let it sit for another 5-10 min.

YES PEOPLE. besides HTCsetupWizzard, you are going to let your phone sit for almost an hour before you start to play with it.

now to get it running fast(er):

--once youve let it sit, unlock and turn on wifi, then pull up app tray, and go into setcpu (pre installed). i recommend buying it if you havent but if you wanna be cheap then select auto detect speeds. drag max to 652800 and min to 528000. set govoner to on demand, set auto refresh and set on boot. mess with profiles if you want to save battery while sleeping and then your done.

--the rom comes with taskiller.... so make sure to set it up to auto end apps every so often and set up the apps you want to not auto end (if you cant on taskiller then idk, i use advanced task manager myself. use whatever you like.)

--after you set up your task killer, then get something that is gonna regulate the cpu usage alittle more strictly. i use autokiller i set it to strict (the first time you do it it will give you some lag while su request comes up. you can pick whatever you want)

--dont go and set up a widget on every page. that kills sync and loads. also go and turn off things you dont need to sync. i mean, i dont use calander. so i dont have it sync.

--last, go in and remove the bloatware that comes on this rom. you dont leave norton, and all the other CRAP that comes on your computer do you? so why should you leave stupid stuff you dont use on your phone. download a root explorer. i use just that, root explorer but there are more. idk of what they are, well i know there there but dont use them, ive tried but dont like em as much. either way, if you dont use footprints (who does), then take it out, and why leave the widget? dont use the stocks.apk file? then why keep it. now, if you dont know if you should delete it.... i wouldnt recommend deleting it. anything that has dsc/dcs whatev it is. dont delete. stk.apk is not for your stocks. thats stock.apk. so just remember that too.

--download ringdroid, make a ringtone that is not long. maybe 10-11 sec max and set it as ur default ringtone. they are usually smaller files and take less time to load while all the other phone.apk info is loading during a call.

-- last tip, if your tired of lag and hung characters (you tap a and get an !) then turn off vibrate when tying. it makes a WORLD of dif and after long you wont even notice it.

thats all. once again, this is the fastest sense rom ive used. nearly no lag etc. tested from cold sleep and it took about 2 rings from my wifes cell before it rang on my phone, which in 2.1 sense terms is not bad at all. and this was without changing my ringtone at all. wifi def works. got 3.3mbps down and .7mbps up on wifi using the speedtest.net app. Market seems to be working fine. i tried to download a bunch of apps that wouldnt download earlier and they downloaded and installed fine.
