No. And I don't want to. I was on 43 nightly before going to RC1, now I'm on 54 nightly. The only time when I made a wipe was when going from stock to Azure and from Azure to nightly. Between nightly ROMs or for RC1 I didn't wipe. It was working fine at the beginning, why should I have it wiped now?
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
most might work but some parts might need a wipe to work correctly I have found that some bugs get fixed after wiping and reflashing and this looks like something that could be solved by wiping
[Legend Android Development] curto:
thats probably true. i didnt wipe before the rc1 going from nightly 48 and i got a boot loop. all the other times when i didnt wipe and i went from a nightly to a nightly it worked fine
[Legend Android Development] fatthumb:
I was on 43 and then move on to rc1 with wipe. So far has got no problem with wi fi. You can do a titanium backup of apps before wiping. I find that pretty convenient :-)
[Legend Android Development] Krazywrath:
RC1 has been working quite well on my Legend for the last 2-3 days. Had a few problems with widgets not working after restoring my apps, but after deleting and re-adding them, everything was fine!
[Legend Android Development] randy_khoo:
Question...

Would someone care to enlighten?

I'm currently using Azure, Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 Legend alpha-1

I've been seeing raves about nightly build 43 and Cyanogenmod RC-1

What is Cyanogenmod RC-1? Is it the same as Cyanogenmod 6.1 everyone has been waiting for? I remember seeing a 6.1 version released/leaked on the forums a week before, but that was erased?

I'm keen to jump on the nightly build version or RC-1, but i just wanted to be sure what i'm doing and what those 2 are. Thanks for your advice in advance!
[Legend Android Development] efex:
RC1 = Release candidate 1. A fairly stable release, that might need bugfixes, but is close to final. I use it with no whatsoever problems. the Nightly builds are what the devs have created so far, can be stable, can be unstable (you need to try to know). I would recommend the RC1.
[Legend Android Development] randy_khoo:
Thank you very much! Will try RC1, but will nandroid backup first.

Cheers!
[Legend Android Development] midafaya:
I have an issue with the RC1 rom

I get very good performances, and linpack gives me a 9.2 score which is great!

But after a while, it gets down to 3, and the performances get bad.

I have to reboot my phone to get the high score and high performances back.

Does this happen to others?

I can't identify any apps that could have done that.

I can't be sure since which update (before RC1) i have the issue.

Any ideas?
[Legend Android Development] Rapier:
Have you played with CyanogenMod VM heap settings? It's in the "performance" section. Default is set for 32 Mb...if you set a lower value could be that in time, the applications that requests more memory, are in fact slowing it down.

Also if you're using setcpu (or other applications that changes the processor speed based on profiles) you can have this cause the processor is running slower than it should. That does not mean to be a problem with the application itself, you might have been created some wrong profiles and the cpu is set to run lower in some instances.

One way to test if it's related to RC1 (but I don't think so since I didn't heard someone complaining), is to reflash RC1 with a wipe before, don't install anything else for several days and see if the performance decreases.
[Legend Android Development] midafaya:
I haven't touched the VM heap settings. It's set to 32MB

I do use Set CPU but i checked the profile set before my tests, and it's set to 806Mhz interactive mode.
[Legend Android Development] greenolive:
I'm having the strangest problem ever.

My notification power widget is acting up and won't let me

get rid of the GPS switch. It just sits there even if I uncheck it

from the menu.

EDIT: And now suddenly my post went back about 9 hours in time.
[Legend Android Development] Rapier:
When the performance decreases, do you have any way to check the clock settings before restarting? For example Quadrant Benchmark has a "System Info" that shows current and max/low running speeds (I don't know if linpack has it cause I don't use it)
[Legend Android Development] midafaya:
I will check next time the perfomance decreases with quadrant
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Remember the pre-6.1 days? When the quadrant scores were below 500 without fail? Is your phone really that much faster with a doubled quadrant score? I mean really? Did you think "man this phone is slow" before you benchmarked it?

Just think about that. Numbers mean so little in what's important: real world performance.
[Legend Android Development] Krazywrath:
I agree, but I also think it's nice to have numbers to backup your user-experience rating.

My scores are now consistently over 1100 with RC1, while it was stuck below 500 on Azure 1.0.1. And I do notice a speed improvement!
[Legend Android Development] randy_khoo:
User experience on stock rom was horrible, and yes, it was really slow.

Rooted stock was much better.

Cyanogen set the bar and improved things by a mile.

Overclocking meant better things happening.

So yes, it may not turn your legend into a nexus one, but hey, it made life better... :D
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
Will the kernel change now that the new one is out in the open?
[Legend Android Development] qzem:
I think we have to wait for htc to release new kernel source code.
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
You are right.
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Gonna be a looong wait. :S
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
mmm, some infoe about what camera change was supposed to do or is it just back to 0917 ?

I have not any issues whit camera 0917, that I manager to fc exept video/lockscreen/unlock

Edit:

Never mind I got it.
[Legend Android Development] downunder30:
where did the snapshots go ? not showing up in rom manager ?
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
I'm using 2.6.29.6 kernel sources for all my newer builds (and also CM).

I'd advice every overclocker/custom kernel builder to use these sources as a starting point. They for example don't care about the module versions (which is a bad idea generally, but handy with proprietary modules).

Spread the word:

http://github.com/aleho/htc-kernel-legend
[Legend Android Development] ancdix:
Can't wait :)

Thx for the exelent cooking ;)
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
You gotta be kidding.
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
ali ba is NOT a simple cook, he is the butcher that will hunt all small stocklegenders and build kernelsauce of them ;)
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
That sounds a lot better! Will put that into my signature.
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
How eloquently put...
[Legend Android Development] downunder30:
u Guy are rude you don't anwser simple questions on this forum. like where did the snapshot go not showong up on rom manager.
[Legend Android Development] knsai:
trying to download 09/27. Link seems to be not working.
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
If there is no dark-azure to download there is no.
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
Oh, how right you are.

09/27 is out. Bluetooth will likely not work.

And don't you dare to run benchmarks on this one. :p
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Benchmark here we come!
[Legend Android Development] Kwen:
It's funny how adults and kids share one thing in common, they'll do what you tell them not to do, negations just disappears :D

Do not run -> Do run

vs

Do walk -> Do walk

Reverse psychology eh.. :)
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Lol
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
He was joking, so did I.

In fact I get pretty impressive results in Quadrant compared to previous releases (which will certainly not affect performance noticeably), but with the new kernel and a natively built gralloc.msm7k.so I seem to have hit a benchmark switch.

Nevertheless, you shouldn't trust benchmarks at all, but I was pretty sure soon or later someone would post their results. :D
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
BOOM! I spotted the sarcasm. I'm yet to actually test it, but hey.

Also, thank you again for being a developer for the HTC Legend
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
I dare...
[Legend Android Development] qzem:
Omg, is it overrclocked ot what?! If not there is still some room to improve;)
[Legend Android Development] rajasyaitan:
Awesome benchmark.

I don't think it is overclocked.
[Legend Android Development] cdfs:
I've flashed the rooted MoDaCom-Version of FroYo and I'm a little disapointed. I will go back to CM6.1 as it works better for me for several reasons:

1. I'm using A online Radio with some 40k AAC+-streams. With CM6.1 this sounds OK for me, same with FroYo sounds like it was a MP3 with 40k... I don't know what kind of voodoo CM is doing here, but it works ;)

2. I'm using K9 with 2 IMAP-accounts and push. For whatever reason, I don't get updates with FroYo, worked with CM like a charm

3. connecting FB-contacts with my google-contacts isn't working that good. Some contacts don't show up in FB for Sense, so I can't link them and setting up the same with FB for Android is not possible, as I can't add this account, only FB for Sense

4. With only 15 userapps installed I have only 49MB internal memory left, even after moving anything possible with FroYo-a2sd to SDCard...

5. 90MB RAM free after booting??? WTF?
[Legend Android Development] Corra:
..and the stock froyo rom seems to have worst 3D performances...
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Can you please elaborate.
[Legend Android Development] kugel.:
Framerates in quadrant are 33-50% lower compared to cyanogen nightlies.
[Legend Android Development] andrekua:
Are you sure? Are you using oc'ed kernel for nightlies?
[Legend Android Development] deimdos:
Is there any way to light up Torch/flash with the phone in sleep mode? something like double clic on trackpad or wake up button... would be really useful.
[Legend Android Development] kugel.:
Vodafone is in charge of releasing the source code as well, not just HTC. I can't seem to find any source release by Vodafone though.

Hmm, right, I forgot about that. My numbers were based on a OC-kernel. But it's still slower than what I had with a non-OC kernel in cyanogenmod.
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Why would you think so?

Hmm, what I have got with 2.6.29.6 at 787 MHz on Gratiend (ported FroYo from Gratia) was 1194. I think this is quite OK for Sense ROM and old kernel.
[Legend Android Development] kugel.:
Because they distribute software licensed under GPL.
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
They don't. HTC is. They are just a store that sells phones. So Aldi would have to do it to if it sells them?
[Legend Android Development] kugel.:
The froyo update (with branding) is coming from Vodafone isn't it?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Nope. It's coming from HTC.
[Legend Android Development] LuckyPhil88:
I know I shouldn't report bugs from apps, but I think many of us uses switchpro widget?

there isn't really a problem with it, but I noticed that when I'm switching mobile data on and off with switchpro widget it only starts/ends mobile data IF it is turned on in new powercontrol in statusbar.

as mentioned before, it isn't a problem, just wanted to say it :)
[Legend Android Development] Corra:
Maybe I'm wrong but 3d games seems to run a bit slower than CM
[Legend Android Development] jznomoney:
Cm6 will be faster because it uses more optimizations than HTC build. Also the HTC froyo build is laced with debug code. Do a logcat when running HTC froyo and you'll see.
[Legend Android Development] m1schi:
Am I the only one with this problem?

My Statusbar gets black, instead of being transparent after a few hours of use. Had this with my first flash of CM6.1 RC1 and now I reflashed it with wipe etc. Just noticed, that I got it again. Restart doesn't help and this does NOT look good :P

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10320142/snap20101118_233709.png
[Legend Android Development] deimdos:
I don't have that problem, but seeing it makes me wonder if there's any way to get rid of the network operator in the notification bar...
[Legend Android Development] AllWin:
Go to CyanogenMod settings -> User interface -> Date and provider and untick "Display PLMN (status bar)". Then reboot your phone.
[Legend Android Development] ricky007:
Hi

I have a problem with the RC.1 release.

I cant get the wifi to work, it trys to connect but then it disconnect over and over again.

Im now using Azure 1.01 and the wifi is working just fine but yesterday i wanted to try RC.1 but no wifi. The same with the nightly release 44.

When i restored the nandroid backup to azure again the wifi works again.

Does anyone know what the problem is? I treid to find some information about it but didnt.

Sorry for my english :)
[Legend Android Development] Sckank:
What about the new kernel, FM-radio and camera in froyo, will those be ported to this ROM?
[Legend Android Development] Rapier:
As I know, FM radio is a HTC implementation and as with HTC Sense widgets, they're not working without Sense
[Legend Android Development] deimdos:
Thanks dude, I don't know how I hadn't seen it... I'm going blind xD

EDIT: mmm now I have a blank "bar" under status bar power widget :S, I think that now we need an option to hide bars like in browsers :)
[Legend Android Development] Sckank:
What about the camera app, can that one be ported? Its the only app I'm really missing as the quality is muuuuch better.
[Legend Android Development] jznomoney:
until the source for the kernel is released you will still be using the 2.6.29 release.
[Legend Android Development] Corra:
why a stock rom is laced with debug code?
[Legend Android Development] le_dek:
I have exactly the same problem ... :/

And I have wiped before flashing.
[Legend Android Development] AllWin:
W00t? Can you prove it? Coz i have two Legends (well, one of them belongs to my wife) and one of them running CM and the other - stock 2.05 ROM. Maybe i'm blind but i can't see damn difference in picture quality.

Do you wanna hazard a guess which photo was made with Legend running Azure ROM?
[Legend Android Development] xxbeanxx:
Agreed. No difference.
[Legend Android Development] Sckank:
I have lots problems with the cameras auto-focus with CM6.1 :-\ Maybe I should test it again.
[Legend Android Development] FUXAS:
I miss facebook for htc sense, with it I could sync my contacts and link them with each other. Now, When it is official version released, maybe you will include that?
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
You dont need Facebook for sense with just Facebook you can link contacts to Facebook aswell. I had it working without any problems.

Just menu -> edit contact-> menu -> link (or something like that)

You can use ebobirthday to sync the birthdays with your agenda
[Legend Android Development] katse:
slow mobile data connection - even with "3g" and "h"

i am running cm 6.1 rc1. sometimes the mobile internet connection is very slow, altough i can see "h" or "3g" in the task bar. this is the case when i am browsing or using market. is there a possibility to check, why it is slow? i want to know, if it is a problem of the provider or if it is a problem of android. any hints?
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
You can try speedtest.net it even has an android app. That will show u your current internet speed
[Legend Android Development] katse:
thanks! will check, as soon i have speed issues again.
[Legend Android Development] Corra:
The first is sharper...
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
Updated to new proprietary libraries from the Vodafone UK release.

Check your ROM-Manager for RC2 :D.
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
Nice work as usual
[Legend Android Development] deimdos:
some "issues" here with RC2 (flashed over RC1 without wipe)

I'm having problems with status bar power wigdet, it has problems switching between 2G/3G and turning on/off data

EDIT: when I switch network from status bar power widget I have to reboot to get my data working again

Network operator doesn't show now (virtual operator does) with RC2 and latest radio
[Legend Android Development] kugel.:
What changed exactly? Gallery 3D is blazing fast now, it's been unusable due to slowness in previous versions (last I tried was b54).

Awesome job!

EDIT:

"+BOARD_USE_NASTY_PTHREAD_CREATE_HACK := true" looks suspicious :)
[Legend Android Development] smartvinu:
I am currently using build 62. I can't see rc2 in rom manager. Where to find that

EDIT : Found RC2 from here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...gend-v610-rc2-legendwait-for-itdary-11202010/
[Legend Android Development] smartvinu:
Wow super thanks ali ba

Finally rock player worked in rc2.
[Legend Android Development] fatthumb:
Does RC2 utilizing the new kernel somehow?
[Legend Android Development] smartvinu:
Yes i think .. because of that only rock player and camera works ...
[Legend Android Development] gyroing:
Does rc2 support flash player?
[Legend Android Development] fatthumb:
I thought camera always works. Have u started using it?
[Legend Android Development] smartvinu:
Yes started using it .... nice one ... now checking battery drain ..

so far its good
[Legend Android Development] fatthumb:
Ok I will try RC2 and see how. Currently using owncook vodafone froyo and missing notification power widget a LOT! :D
[Legend Android Development] Rapier:
What more exactly means that (if I might ask)?

Does it make sense to move from 60 nightly to RC2? So far I'm OK with this. I never had problems with 3D Gallery or camera, neither with the data or mobile operator. Some issues with the WI-FI now and then but nothing to make me switch to another ROM. Are there any improvements/better things in RC2 compared with the nighties?
[Legend Android Development] fatthumb:
Where did you find this (e.g. ROM version, file location, etc):confused:
[Legend Android Development] kabler:
+1 here. I like the HTC camera app better. Its easier to use, and I also think that the pictures snapped with HTC camera are better.
[Legend Android Development] kugel.:
In the git log of the cm legend device repository.

RC2 works great for me, now that gallery 3d is working, one of the few major reasons to stick to the stock ROM is gone. I think I'll stick to cm for a while, it has too many advantages.
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
What are you doing in this thread then????
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
Are you blind?
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
The kernel has nothing to do with the libraries.

No, we are not using 2.6.32 because that has not been released by HTC so far. As soon as the sources are available I will start porting.

It means that we are no longer using the "old libs from Éclaire" hack but a new "HTC left in debug stuff and Zinx tracked it down" hack which fixes building CM with the libraries HTC released in their Froyo updates.

It's always a pleasure reading your answers :D:D. If I wrote something like that, two or more morons would jump right out of nowhere attacking me for being so totally unfriendly.
[Legend Android Development] le_dek:
Same problem with RC2 and the last radio firmware, I'm unable to connect to my access point ...

Edit : I'm fine after restoring my previous Azure 1.0.1 backup.
[Legend Android Development] smartvinu:
This is what I found. Plz correct me if I am wrong

The lists in ROM-Manager on your device are not up to date. Don't know what might be wrong, but you are definitely missing a few entries that should be downloaded after starting ROM-Manager.
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Y'all are actually amazing. I wish I was as good as you Ali Ba, or any of the CM devs for that matter.

Oh well, one day in the future... Maybe...

Cookbook "Android Hacking":

Learn C, C++ and Java

Will take you one month to three months (depending on your motivation and dedication) to understand the basics of programming and then another one to get into object oriented concepts.

Get Familiar with Linux

Do all your programming exercises in Linux. Don't dare to boot back into Windows even if nothing works the way you are used to. Fix your problems then continue using the distribution of your choice.

I'd recommend Ubuntu 10.10 for beginners, but it doesn't really matter. I've been using Debian for 6 years now, but Ubuntu's got a big community and a very well maintained Wiki written for beginners.

Read Google's Android Developer Pages

The documentation on how to set up a repo is a bit hard to follow at first, but it definitely does not require any kind of magic. Read, read again, read a third time. Try to understand. No need to get a 100% by heart score here :), but you should know where to get the information necessary.

Set Up Your Development Environment

If you want to start hacking on CyanogenMod then follow the instructions in their Wiki. If not, developer.android.com is a good choice again.

Note:

The above instructions do not enable you to design good software, but they give you basic skills in understanding the concepts behind the source code used for Android. They enable you to modify (i.e. hack on) stuff that is already there.

To be an outstanding software developer you need experience (the 10k rule applies here too), but you want to be part of the Android/CM community and not create your own mobile Linux platform anyway, right? ;)

Encouragement:

If at any point you feel you can't go on because

there are so many barriers or

you can't get a certain driver to work with the latest Ubuntu kernel or

you're making so little progress and already want to be a pro or

yet again your sources don't compile or

the device doesn't do what you want it to or

your blood cholesterol rises above a healthy level

the world is so bloody unfair

then remember this:

I started hacking on Android about four months ago while already being quite a good software engineer (earning my living doing all kinds of software development while getting a degree in CS) and experienced Linux user already.

And I wanted to bang my head against the wall numerous times and throw my phone out of the windows afterwards.
[Legend Android Development] fatthumb:
Thanks ali ba, really appreciate your effort and great work despite many of us asking very noobish questions without even searching for it :o

I've flashed RC2 myself to get the answer earlier in the afternoon and browsed around at the github also quite helpful to see which part was modified.

Again thank you, and hopefully HTC will release the new kernel source soon (looking at their slow release of OTA update probably will take quite long) :D
[Legend Android Development] smartvinu:
I had opened the Download Option from the main screen ... i that i can find that extras option only ... Do i need to run some other options .. ??
[Legend Android Development] IonSpin:
This should be a sticky in every android development subforum.

Ontopic:

RC2

Everything works, except network carrier search.

Little offtopic:

Sense vs Cyanogen - be aware that Sense for facebook and Twitter sends out passwords in cleartext (at least in 2.1 sense, I never flashed 2.2 on my legend)

Facebook for android and seesmic use ssl.

So, Ali ba keep up the good work, i have a few android projects to finish and then i'll hopefully be joining you on Legend cyanogen development. Looking forward to working with you, and hopefuly some guidance when noobish problema arise :)
[Legend Android Development] le_dek:
