May I be so stupid to ask why 245 is the lowest?

I've read that even 19Mhz is possible (maybe not stable) but isn't there any frequency lower then 245Mhz that's stable? I just like to have a really good battery life.

@Gammar: thanks for editing first post for v4.0 kernel. Now I understand how it works :D
[Legend Android Development] fizic:
I tried to overclock my legend to 787MHz... TRASH!!! It crashes and going to restart several times per day.

Now I don't know how I am gonna undo kernel? where I can download original kernel of my ROM? maybe it's somewhere in ZIP file of my ROM?
[Legend Android Development] HpX:
Im using 787MHz and its perfectly stable for me, its different for each phone. U can try with 768, and that could work for u.

Or u can try one of BlaY0's kernels (u can find them her) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=807559
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
If you'd read my post properly I give instruction on how to restore the original kernel. So go re-read it. But HpX is also correct, the correct version of BlaY0's kernel for your ROM would probably do it (although I wouldn't recommend it, they change a lot more stuff too) They're good kernels, just not quite what you're after...

There is a way of flashing the kernel from the .zip of your ROM; I'll look into it, and maybe add instructions in the OP. Ok?
[Legend Android Development] evank418:
i wish i could break out from the shell of 787. want to go higher!!!! y is my phone cursed with this speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inherent flaw in the manufacturing process...

Can we switch? Maybe you want to try 600 MHz curse ;):p
[Legend Android Development] evank418:
I hear u man. But grass always look greener on the other side(800+)
[Legend Android Development] smartsreenath:
is there any one overclock the MoDaCo Custom Froyo ROM for the HTC Legend with Online Kitchen....:rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Legend Android Development] fatthumb:
I think new kernel (32) is needed to overclock official HTC froyo rom... correct me if i'm wrong!
[Legend Android Development] ladidaaa:
Is an update.zip available with an overclocked 2.6.32.17 Kernel?

I installed the rooted Vodafone 2.2 Rom and it is as fast as the 2.1 Rom with the CPU overclocked to 768Mhz -- so it would be awsome to overclock the CPU again - than it would be really really fast :-)
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
We need kernel source code first

Swyped from my Galaxy Tab
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
What about for 806 MHz? Do we also need kernel source code for that? What about tomorrow? Will we still be needing the source?

:rolleyes:
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
No. God will overclock all Legends to 2 GHz, as well as making them quad core.

[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
I already have sources for Legend support in 2.6.35.

But I am keeping it for myself and you won't ever get it.
[Legend Android Development] denisman:
Who needs 2.6.35?

Just overclock your Legend using the All Spark and enable Transform2Toilet to activate Flush 10.1 support.

Off to Antarctica to find the all spark. LOL
[Legend Android Development] Catnap:
Not sure if this has been posted, but here's how I recovered from an over-enthusiastic overclock and a bootloop.

Get into recovery (vol down + power, vol down, vol up + power), and issue:

adb shell

mount /data (you may not need this as recovery should (AFAIK) mount it already)

cd /data/data

rm -r com.mhuang.overclocking

That should remove all the settings. Reboot, remove SetCPU and reinstall. I had SetCPU force-closing constantly until I removed and reinstalled.

Hope this helps someone.
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Fair 'nuff, cheers for the info. :D
[Legend Android Development] markoko1:
OK people, I have read the entire thread and I am still not convinced to try overclocking. My Legend is running smoothly just as it is, with its humble 600 MHz, so can someone of you guys tell me some practical benefits from OCing: for example, if gallery thumbnails update faster, applications are opening faster, my phone spitting 500 EUR bills on a daily basis, etc... Thx :)

[EDIT] Gradual transformation to HTC Desire HD is also considered a benefit.
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
The maths tells us that the phone should go faster. Agreed, the device performs fine at 600MHz, we just wanted to push it a little further. If you don't see any practical benifits to overclocking this device, then don't ;)

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Legend Android Development] markoko1:
Thanks, I just wanted to hear opinions from the people who have already tried OC, did they actually see the difference and is it worth doing it :cool:
[Legend Android Development] abhishek_turbo911:
Can i use the version 4 of the kernel you've linked ? Is it better than 3.5 ?
[Legend Android Development] MaBlo:
What rom are you using?
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Most legend firmwares have overclocking built in
[Legend Android Development] abhishek_turbo911:
^im using the Super User,Keep It Simple rom. it does not have the oc kernel.

is v4 better than v3.5
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Arguably, yes. But it's a more involved setup. If 3.5 works then stick with it
[Legend Android Development] abhishek_turbo911:
i dont want to be a bother, but in a nutshell, how 'much' better is it ? I mean is it worth the time im going to devote to learn how to install this newer veriosn ?
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Not really. The newer version basically integrated all the kernels into one, so unless you have a need to push it further on rare occasion (to show off) then it's probably not worth it.
[Legend Android Development] abhishek_turbo911:
I read through the v4 section in your guide but could not understand anything (as expected) so i thought you could shed some light on the changes i would have to do from following your guide.

Probably flashing stuff might be same ?
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Thinking about it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=856786

Flash that, use setCPU to choose a max frequency and check set on boot. Sorted (This is exactly the same as V4, just using an updated kernel and defaults to 600MHz instead of 806MHz)
[Legend Android Development] abhishek_turbo911:
I cant see the zip file that i downloaded in the recovery menu. There are just 4 options :

Reboot system now

Apply sd card:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

and an some text written in yellow at the end

E: Cant open /cache/recovery/command
[Legend Android Development] abhishek_turbo911:
i tried the 2nd option but it threw an error ... the update was not found or something ...
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Fakeflash. Search for it

"Warranty Expiry Tracker"

Hi, I pretty much like the idea of this app (market) but the UI could really need some love.

It's also just availabe in English which makes it hard for some to understand.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Android development to code this.

Are there any wizards out there interested in making such an app? I'd volunteer to translate to German...
[Android Software Development] broody:
Hmm, that looks like a very simple app. You could probably learn how to do it in a month if you have some basic programming background. I'd do it but I have some projects I'm working on currently.

I'll keep this in the back of my head though.

Btw, I wonder if App Inventor could handle this, just a thought.
[Android Software Development] marty1976:
Bounty: 20$

Re-tested the Miritech App mentioned above but sadly it doesn't work on my German i9000, I can reproduce FCs and the programmer doesn't care to fix them.

I have gotten my AppInventor account lately, but don't have time left as I'm leaving my job to do something else. So I can't do this myself and I'd pay someone to do it.

Basically, this app can just consist of a couple of buttons:

- Add item to list*

- Search for item in list

- show list of items with warranty expired

* Item might contain item's name, its details, date of purchase, name of store, duration of warranty in month, picture of invoice / recipt

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
[Android Software Development] narindersingh80:
Hii marty,

thanks for your comments... but can you please specify the FC's you are getting on our application so that we can fix it right way and also we will take care of your needs if any in this application.

And this application is standardised app in english. If you want us to translate it in german then we can do it exclusively for you.. For this please contact us

Thanks..
[Android Software Development] marty1976:
I already emailed twice to support.mobileapps@miritech.com, the address displayed on the Android Market, but I didn't get a response.

Anyway, here are my suggestions:

- Larger buttons on all screens (theres lot's of empty space left on my screen)

- Service contact details should not be mandatory

- Service contact mobile phone number doesn't accept arbitrary numbers

I will send you a logfile when it FCs again, please PM me an email adress.

An added bonus would be the possibility to localize the app. Are the strings hardcoded, or perhaps pulled from a file or database? If you send me a file, I'll translate all strings to German...
[Android Software Development] narindersingh80:
Hii marty,

We have uploaded updated version.Please Check it and let us know about FC.

Thanks

I'm kicking it old school with the G1 :P

I was one of those impatiently waiting for the preorder to start, and of course had it preordered the first day.

Yes the track pad has a light around it. So far only one color. I have been using it for a day now. One issue is googles goggles won't update.... not really a big deal but that's one thing I've noticed. Coming from the Nexus its very similar so that's good. Size wise it is not that noticeably bigger but you can tell when you hold it. Swype comes stock. That's about all I have for now. Oh the slid mechanism feels pretty solid as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crr127:
what about any lag? how is the browser scrolling? pinch and zoom lag? how about flash content? i heard it is hardware accelerated for flash content... ummmm how about the stock launcher in general is it smooth? i don't know about everyone else but i'm commin from a g1 and these were big issues with me. well minus the flash we had none lol. Also how about multi-tasking? music playing browsing at the same time.. need info pleeez lol:p

Cool thanks for the vids. It looks great! However, I did notice the camera seems extremely sensitive to movement. I hope that can be fixed or tuned.

Your dog is awesome.. I tried for so long to teach my husky to crawl :\
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
Yeah, it's sensitive. Could probably do stabilization through software at the expense of resolution.

Thanks, she is awesome :) Taught her that by making her lay down then putting a treat near her nose and telling her to crawl (which she obviously didn't understand at first). If she got up, I'd take the treat away and make her start over, and gradually moved the treat farther away. Only took about 15-20 minutes and a handful of little treats. In your defense, huskies are a bit more independent/stubborn. We had one growing up, and it was a wonderful dog, just didn't learn as easily as the other breeds we owned.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Ah, well that would explain it. He's extremely loyal and protective, at least lol.

EDIT: I just hope the G2 doesn't get loose over time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] flarbear:
Does it have any dead zones wrt where you grip it? How much and where do you grip it to cause the problem?

How many fingers can you multi-touch with? (sorry, I don't have a link to an app, I know that the common MT test app only tracks 2 fingers, but I've seen videos with apps showing >2 fingers)

Some pre-release pictures showed an extra little hole above the speakerphone speaker grill that some people thought would be a noise cancelling antenna - later photos didn't show it. Any "mystery holes" on the back that might be a noise cancelling antenna?

sd cards question

hey all - i'm wondering what i should do to use my old microsd card from my g1 in my new g2 (that i expect to get tomorrow). apparently the g2 ships with a class 2 microsd card, which isn't great (i know that much), and i have a class 5 (if i recall correctly) in my g1 right now and figure it's probably better to go with that. should i re-format (wipe) it? if yes, before or after i put it in the g2? i don't know too much about these things, so would be very appreciative for tips. thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Mine gets here sometime tomorrow, but in the meantime I have a few questions:

How is the signal strength? My G1 tends to have 3-4 bars everywhere except for my school, which has 9" thick concrete walls and I'm lucky if I get 1-2 bars of edge more than 15 feet away from the window. How does it's radio performance compare? And does it have any "antennagate" issues?

Does the LED under the front speaker grill change from orange to green when fully charged? A tricolor LED would be cool, even if it's not the main one.

Is there any sort of lag when multitasking with say, the music player, the browser, and the messaging app? On my G1 it would slow down to a screeching halt (swap helped a little, but that's another issue), but I'm assuming that having 3X the ram would help the G2 significantly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
No such thing as a Class 5 microsd card, however, I'd just use the 8GB it comes with. Copy all your important stuff over to it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cyricc:
Question: how responsive is scrolling in long lists, e.g. texts, gvoice, contacts? How responsive is browser scrolling and pinch-zoom? These are never shown in the videos for some reason
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
I don't even have it yet and I can tell you that it will be nice and smooth.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kalipedia:
Sorry, not class 5, i actually have a class 6. micro sd card class goes up to 10. surely a class 6 is better to use than a class 2. better, at least, in terms of read/write speed, etc...

Neoprene case?

Does this phone come with the Neoprene case that the Nexus One and G1 had?

On my Nexus One I always have problems with the internet stalling when on 3g or HSPA and I have heard of other people having the same problem. How is the internet on this phone?

I have my browser open debating whether to click "Submit Order"

Anyone have any idea how long it will take to get here (Texas) if I order this morning?
[G2 and Desire Z General] dyndragon:

Vibrate?

Well I clicked submit! :-) I didn't even have to put any money down, they are going to ad it to my next bill. That will give me time to sell the Nexus One so I won't have any out of pocket expense.

Another question, how is the vibrate on this phone? If I had my nexus in my front pocket I could neither hear the ringer nor feel the vibrate when receiving a text or call. Of course this has a lot to do with it being in the case.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Paul22000:
If you go into Settings -> About Phone -> Status, can you see the signal strength in dBm?

If so, can you cup both of your hands around the bottom of the phone and see if it loses signal (and by how much)? Then try the top of the phone?

Just looking to see where the antenna is on the phone. I would much prefer the top since I hold the phone at the bottom (big problem on the Nexus One in low signal areas since the antenna is at the bottom).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
My best guess would be that it's at the bottom of the phone, simply because the 3.5mm jack is at the top and there would be little space between the jack and camera, but then again they can make antennas fit about any form factor.

If nobody beats me to it, I'll track it down when I'm on lunch.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Paul22000:
Were you able to find out? Waiting patiently :)

GPS and Compass

Coming from the Vibrant, I have to ask how well the GPS and the Compass are working?
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
It's on the bottom, unfortunately. Oh well... I'm already getting used to holding the phone from the top half while on a call.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Good... no problems at all like every other HTC phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jon C:
All cell Antennas must be located on the bottom or the side of the phones, if I'm not mistaken. It has to do with moving the antenna away from the user's brain. It's a mandate, rather than a manufacturer decision.

As a previous Vibrant owner, I was also wondering if anyone has tested the GPS and Compass. But I guess I can just wait a day or two to test mine. :/
[G2 and Desire Z General] flarbear:
I don't think it's a mandate. If you watched Apple's "See, all them other phones have death grips too!" videos (no longer posted on their site) there was one model (I think it was the Droid Eris) where they had to grip it at the top of the phone to make it lose signal. Whether they designed that phone to just irradiate the user's ear, or whether they had some special shielding to only radiate towards the back (away from the ear canal), or whether they simply ignored some supposed mandate, the testing showed that its antenna was at the top...
[G2 and Desire Z General] flarbear:
Thanks for answering my question about the "mystery hole" on the back of the phone. Unfortunately I think you were looking for it in the wrong place. The hole was on the back of the phone above the speakerphone speaker (the speaker on the front of the phone near the other sensors is the regular speaker for the ear). I don't think it was a hole for the "sensors" because those are on the front of the phone.

Here is the photo showing what I was asking about:

http://www.engadget.com/photos/t-mobile-g2-preview-hands-on/#3410970

That was the only set of pictures, unfortunately, that showed this tiny hole so we were mostly expecting it to be a mistake or a prototype that didn't reflect the final version. I have since seen a couple in T-Mobile stores and confirmed that this hole isn't there on the ones in the stores. So, it is unlikely that these phones would have noise cancellation...
