If htc reads this thread so I have to be way more rude :) we're not harassing htc as they doesn't even know we're speaking about them. So I thought we were harassing you or other people that think that the Legend is already perfect and froyo is not needed. You simply told that we are harassing, and I told you to avoid reading here because as evident you don't like it. My english is certainly not perfect, but I checked my dictionary and it doesn't specify that harassing is addressed only to phone companies
[Legend General] krasenk:
What a SHAME that an entry-level device like Wildfire is getting Froyo before Legend! It's really annoying that HTC is putting Legend and Wildfire in the same basket!

My only hope is getting the new Sense UI + HTCSense.com on Legend Froyo update, very unlikely though.
[Legend General] CrWEE:
If I remember correctly htc said that only the new devices (desire hd and desire z) and devices after them will get it.
[Legend General] DeeJayDark UE:
Enyone received 2.05.405.2. FOTA update?

Saw this on HTC support!
[Legend General] liltbrockie:
Yeah.. I received this update over a month ago though!
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
I have ported the wildfire rom.. however there are a few issues to be taken care of..
[Legend General] gaga111:
ive found a german article from 9th of July here:

http://www.chip.de/news/HTC-Desire-Wildfire-und-Legend-Android-2.2-in-Q4_43739035.html

small summery:

-HTC officially confirmed updates for Desire, Wildfire and Legend

-They cant keep their promise that it will be released in Q3

-It takes more time to make the new software work perfectly on the hardware

-update for the devices will be released this year

for the full article just translate with google german=>english :)
[Legend General] zabaknilesh:
In short we need to change the title of this thread from "Froyo in September" to " Froyo in December" :D
[Legend General] Chaotick:
Change is to : "Froyo in (HOPEFULLY) 2010" :P
[Legend General] GeoMil:
I think a lot of you guys hanging out for 2.2 are going to be disappointed. Its only a .1 update and while an upgrade, doesn't really offer a hugely different experience.

Better, if course, but it wont feel like a new phone or anything.

An official port of cyanogen is close so just root and get that IMO.
[Legend General] parker09:
Yeah I'm not holding my breath, I'd rather just use Azure or something.
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Ali Ba's Azure is now the official CM6 for The Legend :)

Yes it's only a .1 update, but it's the extra features people want. Including the speed increase.
[Legend General] DJClean:
Seems Mark Moons tweetet around:

Translation:
[Legend General] krasenk:
That sounds good. So lets see how long it will take the testing :) They could "leak" some RUU for testing pourposes :)
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Apple & it's disciples have Steve Jobs held in a God like view.

HTC & it's disciples have Mark Moons held in a God like view, and he has spoken!

The Hero will NOT get 2.2, be thankful we are!
[Legend General] krasenk:
I think that once Legend's Froyo update is out it will be ported for Hero in no time. :) Fingers crossed for the new Sense :)
[Legend General] kazzaz:
who is Mark Moons ?
[Legend General] brian_le:
Last day of September tomorrow. You never know. But i doubt that froyo will come out tomorrow.
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Go wash your mouth out with soap! (or should it be fingers for typing it?) (actually don't do that)

He's our leader!
[Legend General] Firecold:
You sound like communist:)
[Legend General] kazzaz:
:D:D but again :$ leader of what ?
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Leader of our minds and souls man! :D

He's some head honcho @ HTC Europe who tweets about HTC stuff. Check him out on twitter.
[Legend General] kazzaz:
so the froyo coming to legend as he said ... never wrong ?
[Legend General] matn013:
Better translation:

This means they are already busy with testing it.

So I guess it won't take long anymore before we get froyo
[Legend General] the_canuck:
thats a reassuring tweet. thank you for posting it.
[Legend General] raf2k:
This froyo update reminds me Duke Nuken Forever :D
[Legend General] Firecold:
Hope it will be more like STALKER:D
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
6 hours left,...
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
lol

we're = 'we are' and NOT 'were'.

and

you lost me on "And never did I told people what to do"

Sorry i don't mean to be rude but i cannot stand it when people ask other users to "learn english" !

And half an hour left for September in my time-zone :P Maybe froyo will launch with the new Sense features on or after October 11th (i.e to coincide with the launch of HTC Desire HD & Z & hopefully Sense.com )
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
Correcting English is my job... lol

Nah, I'm just messing with you.
[Legend General] brian_le:
HTC might end up releasing the new sense update with froyo. HTC confirmed for me that they will release the new sense on htc froyo devices with 2.2 eg Desire.

Dear Brian,

With regards your inquiry, according to the website that you provided the new HTC Sense will only be released for device running on Android 2.2(Froyo), wich is true. Unfortunately HTC Legend is still running on Android 2.1 that means the new HTC Sense will not be compatible to HTC Legend. Incase you need further assistance please provide us with your contact number so that we can assist you via the phone. Thank you and have a great day!
[Legend General] liltbrockie:
That to me sounds worryingly like they arent going to bother with an update for Legend.. hope i am wrong.
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Well hello there, aren't you a bit late?

End.
[Legend General] orouborus:
already october and still no froyo. :(
[Legend General] Chapell:
Be positive. I'm sure the cause for HTC is working for so long on 2.2 for Legend is because they'll release it with the new Sense, so this will be the first 2.2 phone with the new Sense ;D
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
Dream on! They didn't release 2.2 with the new Sense for Desire or Wildfire, why should they start with the Legend?

It's their ugly duckling or step child so far, even though it has the most gorgeous design and form factor for us. ;)
[Legend General] krasenk:
I hope you're right, mate. Though I'm pretty sceptical regarding the new Sense on Legend.
[Legend General] im_iceman:
Spare a thought for us x10 owners... With a bit of luck I'll get 2.1 before you lot get 2.2!!
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
Oh yeah x10 still is at 1.6 ... isn't it Sony's only Android phone ? If they cannot update that they are beyond excusable.

HTC atleast has already updated its flagship models.

I'm positive all of HTC's 2010 phones will get the new Sense sooner or later.
[Legend General] im_iceman:
Yeah.. It's kinda like 1.6 + and isn't bad. But gagging for 2.1. They do 4 androids. X10 x10 mini x10 mini pro and x8...

Still I suppose it's all relative.. My last phone was a samsung tocco...!!!
[Legend General] ozazi:

[Legend General] oysteivi:
I don't think I could go back to a "stock" ROM anyway, but I guess an updated kernel for cyanogenmod couldn't hurt. I can wait, though ;)
[Legend General] smartvinu:
I lost my hope waiting for legend ..

did a root and installed latest nightly build of CM6 :)
[Legend General] the_canuck:
i also got impatient, so i bought a nexus one (and gave the legend to my wife (who couldn't care less about froyo))
[Legend General] norrafi:
I love my Legend, still in stock OS..

What make Froyo better for my Legend??
[Legend General] bullchicken:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_%28operating_system%29#Update_history

Possibly this too:

http://www.v3.co.uk/v3/software/2269933/htc-sense-ui-upgrade-first-look
[Legend General] MrZippo:
I couldn't be bothered to wait too so I got the Samsung Galaxy S in the end and just left the Legend gathering dust.
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
With the relaunch of HTC Legend, this time in black, I see already Froyo shining through the dark, just behind the horizon. Let the new day begin for the sexiest Android phone around. :D
[Legend General] Chaotick:
As I don't need to change the phone to anything else(I certainly WILL not change my phone just because the update to Froyo is "late" - I think it's still one of the best looking devices on the market etc.) sticking to my Legend.Updated the software to nightly build - so far very pleased with it.

I have some other things to spend my money than just on phones every several months or so.
[Legend General] noahsam2:
Will I be able to get the over the air update if im using an unlocked phone on at&T?
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
It depends on whether or not your phone is branded at&T. If it is, you'll have to wait for them, if not then you'll get the HTC OTA
[Legend General] noahsam2:
Thanks. I can't wait for 2.2 ill finally be able to tether. Do you know if there is any way to make the led light stay on like a flashlight on 2.1 without rooting?
[Legend General] noahsam2:
The title of this form in froyo in september and its october now no froyo yet
[Legend General] bobirutoo:
hey 2.2 update can Legend Use Live Wallpepars ?
[Legend General] bullchicken:
Just got this back from them:
[Legend General] ryaneu:
HTC saying that they are currently testing the froyo rom for legend, thats really some good news.
[Legend General] mtrax:
yep the HTC aust , said this a few weeks ago.. so hopefully there are no major issues, otherwise we don't know how long this process will take.
[Legend General] Lucas0511:
Gotta say that we Legend owners will always play catchup, since by the time we finally get Froyo (and maybe Unrevoked and S-Off) the other guys will have 5sec-fastboot SenseHD probably with working camera, and since their Desires think that they are DesireHDs the lucky owners will also have access to htcsense.com features. Oh yes, lets not forget, one can get a shiny new black Legend now, at least HTC is providing new packaging, resulting in black Chinese replacement housings for the rest of us. Just venting... :-)
[Legend General] ozazi:
I asked them about Sense and LW in Froyo, and they said to me that they can't tell me that, or anything of the Froyo, only that we'll get it..
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
You have a good point there. But then, we knew that before buying the Legend. At least I did in April, otherwise I would've gone with the Nexus One back then, if I wanted a developer phone, stock Android or always the latest bells and whistles.

But as I wanted a great phone, that simply works, which fits nicely in my pocket, has a robust build quality and looks the part also, I chose the Legend.

For me is clear, that everything past Froyo will not happen with the Legend (at least not officially), but the only thing am really missing currently is apps2sd, which comes with 2.2 or I would have to root some day in the future.

But now, I guess I can wait a few weeks longer to get the official, rock-stable Froyo build, since they wouldn't announce a re-launch with a black Legend without any 2.2 update path. :p
[Legend General] petertakov:
You'll never know what you are missing until it becomes available to the others. Maybe the next version will have (and it most certainly will) some clever features that you haven't even thought about yet and therefore didn't realize you were missing them.
[Legend General] Firecold:
That's why these features are usually called "bells and whistles": you don't actually need them, but start acting like a maniac to get them:)
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
Let's all run around like headless chickens! New, pointless, features! Woo!

Jokes.

Swyped from my HTC Legend
[Legend General] petertakov:
It was not that long ago when people didn't knew they need a mobile phone - they were perfectly happy and excited with their tied-to-the-wall phones. Does this make the mobile phone fall in the "bells and whistles" category for you?
[Legend General] Firecold:
If i could have bought my mobile phone just to have it while i don't have anybody to call using such gadget, or just because of it's look, then yes - it would definitely fall under bells and whistles category. And i don't think that people were happy and excited with stationary phones - what do you think is the reason for mobile phones' invention?
[Legend General] ViktorX:
Duke Nuken Forever is coming :D:D:D

[Legend General] ngockhanh1988:
Today october .......:confused:

when :(
[Legend General] chirusal2009:
So then is it coming? Seem like the froyo is coming at the christmas psrty :D
[Legend General] liltbrockie:
Have we all given up then?
[Legend General] Exanimus:
Well, I have.. i have preordered the Desire Z :P
[Legend General] Skardy:
Well, I have.. i have flashed Azure 1.0.1 ;)
[Legend General] gaga111:
waiting till middle of october

hopefully phantom black version of the legend will come with froyo ;)
[Legend General] kleutscher:
Its confirmed that the black legend is running froyo on the htc live event
[Legend General] kleutscher:
Ow and its going to be released next month in the nerherlands the black legend so i think that well get froyo by then.
[Legend General] qzem:
Have you been there? Cause most of the credible sites were saying it will come with Android 2.1.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
Event was yesterday and androidworld posted a summary of the event. Mark moons was the guy at the event that told this. While holding and showing the phone on stage.
[Legend General] krasenk:
:confused: I wonder how come there are always ROM or RUU leaks for other devices and never for the Legend... Even if it is not the final ROM it would be really appreciated if we get Legend Froyo ROM leak. The Wildfire for example, which is an entry-level device, already got Chinese ROM leak and the Froyo kernel for Wildfire was posted on developer.htc.com. Really annoying!
[Legend General] th7org:
Can you post a link to this summary? Thanks.
[Legend General] krasenk:
Here you are:

http://www.androidworld.nl/48654/htc-live-succes-moet-je-vieren/

User Google Chrome to translate it.

Cheers! :)
[Legend General] qzem:
As much as I could translate with google translate, there is nothing in this article that would confrming that HTC lagend Phantom Black, will have Android 2.2.

EDIT: Ok I was wrong:)
[Legend General] th7org:
Even bigger news is that the matte Legend Legend is running at 2.2 ... Seems logical that the rest thus getting.

Can't post a link to translation - new forum user ;)
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Got another event coming up soon, from htc twitter:

London, we had way too much fun last time...so we are coming back! Next Tuesday the 19th, #HTCLON round 2.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
this is a tweet from androidworld, live from the htc live event at that moment yesterday:

HTC Legend black komt in gelimiteerde oplage (en Android 2.2!) volgende maand. Goed nieuws voor Legendeigenaren!

translated:

htc legend black comes in a limited edition (and android 2.2!) next month.

good news for the legend owners!

and if mark moons says this at a htc event then its real and no joke:)
[Legend General] BlaY0:
OK, then we wait.......

Patiently :D

...and then 3 more months for kernel to be released :D
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
Or for someone to buy a black Legend .. and then rip the gutz out of it ;)
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
I like the sound of that...

Swyped from my HTC Legend
[Legend General] BlaY0:
It would be great but I think it is not that simple because if phone is not rooted then you can "rip" practically nothing. Unless you find some backdoor or kernel exploit that would gain you root shell privileges. And as we all see how things are rolling with Legend, there's really a slight chance that someone would succede. Maybe some RUU will leak or be out before that...
[Legend General] Asovse1:
WTF?!

The European Aria got announced today, comes with 2.2 without the new Sense. I don't know about you guys, but I was looking forward too the new Sense alongside Froyo.
[Legend General] krasenk:
HTC Aria/Gratia has exactly the same hardware configuration as HTC Legend. It seems that none of the mid- and low-end devices won't get the new Sense, including the Legend too! Shame on HTC! Anyway who cares about Sense when we have CyanogenMod :D
[Legend General] ebaak:
I was hoping that HTC was taking so long so that they would introduce both froyo and new sense together. It seems not.:mad:

but what I really cannot understand is why it is taking so much time to update. I am still at 1.31.405.5 and why do they not give any clear answer when I contact them.

right now m waiting for update or cyanogen 6.1, whichever comes first wins me over
[Legend General] x_my_arsenel:
when you say the gratia doesn't come with the new sense I'm assuming it comes with the older 2.2 sense that's available on the desire just now? I don't know about you guys but I can live with that!:)
[Legend General] janarp:
First have to wait froyo then new sense ... can't wait froyo...
[Legend General] oysteivi:
Bump.

An official froyo for legend would still be nice, though.. Should give us a newer kernel and maybe shut up those FM radio questions in the CyanogenMod threads ;)
[Legend General] smartvinu:
What I feel is that history is repeating. Previously it was hero. Now it's the turn of legend.

:)
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
New Sense will never happen for Legend.. Only for high-end devices..

Legend is a mid-range device..
[Legend General] zabaknilesh:
Not only Legend will never get New sense but also will never get Froyo..better Root and stay happy without FM Radio...
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
I'm getting really bored of ill informed people saying the Legend will never get Froyo OTA from HTC. Seriously, do some reading.
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
Agree.. It has already been confirmed. Just with no release date yet.
[Legend General] LuckyPhil88:
i think the chance of getting a self cooked rom with gingerbread is higher than getting froyo with sense in this year xD
[Legend General] kuklux:
all i can say is nothing posible with rooted phone and moded or rip rom,update we can port that!
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
Don't you mean:

?
[Legend General] Corra:
A confirmation without an even approximate release date means nothing...
[Legend General] backdafucup:
I think you're right. The danish support gave me this answer today;

It means; Legend will hopefully get the update, but we don't know when.
[Legend General] jaStrom:
I don't want be pessimistic, but it did take a long time to roll out 2.1 for the Hero after HTC announced it (more than 8 months depending on how you count). If history is any indication, we could be waiting (or using Azure) for quite some time. Still, if the black version is released with 2.2 soon, maybe we can be more optimistic about an update before the year runs out.
[Legend General] tnakir:
I must say i don't understand HTC.

Yesterday they released HTC Gratia to European market, and as far i could see, Gratia is the shame phone as Legend in a different case, and it comes with Froyo.

Another thing, they announced Black Legend for November, so it means the phone has been in production and will be shipped to resellers soon. They also stated it will be running Froyo.

So where is Froyo for Legend? This HTC's policy is so $&%# up, and the Legend is the first and the last HTC phone I'm having.
[Legend General] mtrax:
presumably if the Black L. going to be available in Nov, then the ROM should be available to us shortly...
[Legend General] kuklux:
+1 market strategy if black legend comes to froyo we wait to lunch that black legend after a month we all have froyo on our legend silver
[Legend General] tnakir:
HTC can't surprise me in a good way anymore.
[Legend General] raf2k:
I feel the same. Its not just that froyo is not available for Legend yet.

Its more that every HTC update has created some software issues.

Ill keep my Legend untill Samsung will release a phone with Android Gingerbread.
[Legend General] zabaknilesh:
pissed up..going for root now....one question friends...

If I root for froyo...will FM Radio work >>??

any other loss if I root other than I would not be able to officially update?
[Legend General] Xander_:
True True !!!

What's the point of putting 100000000000 different devices in the same range?! :confused: The marketing plans of HTC are strange!!! :eek: See apple (1 phone, 1 table, etc). Its stupid to make 5-10 same range phones where the only differences are case and firmware!!! If its so that people buy new phones more often ... with this tactic u will only loose more clients then make more money !!! Make 1-2 phones for each range and divide you developer teams between them! Why can't HTC understand...

HAPPY CUSTOMER = MORE MONEY !!! :D
[Legend General] jaStrom:
Installing a new ROM will disable the FM Radio feature.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
Try searching. If you root to get FroYo (Azure) you will loose everything to do with HTC Sense, including the FM Radio.

It is indeed possible to un-root to get the OTA of HTCs FroYo when it comes out.
[Legend General] zabaknilesh:
oh if unroot is possible then its great (thank for info)...is there any proven method..? I do not want to take changes when official froyo will be out ...
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
I have posted a way to unroot elsewhere in this forum..
[Legend General] Sckank:
I couldnt care less about FM radio. The best radio are actually online ones but I seldom use them. I would go for azure in a hearthbeat :-)
[Legend General] tnakir:
www[dot]pdashop.nl/product/102087/category-4214-smartphones-pda-s/htc-legend-phantom-black.html

So Legend Black is out, it has froyo, and the silver Legend proud owners can go and f@c# themselves.
[Legend General] g0dshead:
Relax m8 , im a proud owner , and tbh i have no plans to .... myself over a phone update.
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
The Gratia does not have an AMOLED screen .. nor does.it have the aluminium unibody ... thus making it cheaper ... I think the Legend will be a niche mid range premium phone while the Gratia will satisfy the masses ...
[Legend General] DJClean:
Just for the record:

It says at the top Availible soon (in dutch) so it's not released yet.. they just accept pre-orders already, like that webshop does often.
[Legend General] SnowToad:
Check the new on the front page about the Hero getting Froyo...

The Legend is the same as the hero but better.

Whats all the fuss with the Hero? Why don't they mention the Legend?

The Legend is purely an updated version of the Hero, better in every way.

Surely this means they are going to do a Froyo for Legend too
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
Which front page ?
[Legend General] cryshop:
xda-developers front page (home page)
