Hi Guys,

I have a bit of a problem, I want to install a custom rom on my HTC Legend. But I am a kinda noobish. I followed a couple tutorials from a site called hxxp://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-legend There it says that I have to downgrade my HTC Legend to 1.31. Before the downgrading proces you have to make a goldcard, I am managed to make one.:) But I get stuck with the Downgrading

It says I have to follow these couple things

III. Make Phone Downgrade-able

1. On your phone, make sure that USB Debugging is checked ON in Settings > Applications > Development.

Done

2. Plug in your phone and make sure it is connected as Charge Only NOT Disk Drive or something else.

Done

3. Download the Downgrading Tools and extract them to your AndroidSDK\tools\ folder (all of the files need to be in the tools folder with adb).

Done

4. Open a command prompt on your computer by clicking on the Start button and typing cmd and hitting enter in the search box.

Done

5. In the command prompt, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:

cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools\

crackin.bat

Done

6. The phone will reboot 5 times, be patient.

Done

7. After it is done, you will see a bunch of error messages, that is normal.

Done

8. Look for the following line, if you see it (the date and time can be different)

you are ready to continue, if not then reboot your phone, factory reset it, and try again:

crwxrwxrwx 1 1001 2002 90, 0 Jul 19 16:19 /dev/mtd/mtd0

This part doesnt work for me!:confused::confused: This is what I get in CMD.exe:

What do I have to do? Is there anything wrong with my goldcard? Or is it something else?

PLEASE HELP!

I'm just trying to get a feel for what people want. I am planning version 4.0 for my Sense ROM and want to pause a take a little poll. Basically I'm curious if you think I should make a plain ROM based off the stock ROM, a hybrid ROM using the stock ROM as base plus elements from the Z ROM and CyanogenMod OR use the Z ROM as the base and add elements from CyanogenMod.

EDIT: sorry, but this project has been suspended indefinitely.

EDIT2: maybe not. 4.0 is coming out soon.
[Droid Incredible General] Upstreammiami:
first lmao hate *****es
[Droid Incredible General] PhillyCheez:
I'd personally want to see what you could do with a Z ROM. :D
[Droid Incredible General] OSully:
I definitely think you should stick with the stock RUU. I know the Z rom still has issues (I believe the camera still wont do 720p?) and I'd rather the stability of the RUU. Your additions and enhancements have always worked seemlessly so I'd rather see you integrate them into a working rom.
[Droid Incredible General] PhillyCheez:
which is the EXACT reason why i thought it would be a good idea. a dev with his background, reputation and following will no doubt push the Z ROM to whole notha level. just sayin..
[Droid Incredible General] bravesfan171:
Would love to see the stability of the stock RUU with the features and customizations of the Z ROM and CM6. Thanks for using the community poll!
[Droid Incredible General] setexascustoms:
I agree completely. I've used Skyraider since I rooted my phone, but I'm on a Z ROM right now and I'm loving the features. The browser, rotating rosie, camera app, and the rest of HTC's features rock. I don't know how possible it is, but a fully functional and stable Z ROM would be top dog in my opinion, and I'd of course be willing to donate again.
[Droid Incredible General] alwayssc:
Trust YOUR instincts--we do!

I have used both 3.5 and Athena. They are head and shoulders above anything else out there. Sometimes we can be our own worst critics, but you have not steered us wrong yet. I will gladly leave it up to your stellar judgement!
[Droid Incredible General] pdqauto01:
love a z rom

do a z rom i would switch
[Droid Incredible General] REYES702:
Z rom would be amazing from you and I would use it in heartbeat.
[Droid Incredible General] AlanPototsky:
my 2 cents

While I have been a big fan of Skyraider sense from the very beginning .... I have recently started using Miui and I must say it is very good. ok back to the poll

I would love to see it based off 3.0 but will be happy if it based off 2.3. Whichever stability is the most important thing to me! Rock solid everything working no excuses just like 3.5 is!
[Droid Incredible General] OSully:
I agree with you in that a working z rom with no bugs or shortcomings would be awesome. If anyone can do it, its ihtfp.

What's with these retarded poll choices:

Stock RUU mixed with Z ROM, no stupid AOSP at all. ftw.
[Droid Incredible General] mattrox1221:
stock ROM as base plus elements from the Z ROM and CyanogenMod
[Droid Incredible General] someguy88:
I've used skraider since I rooted, and I liked the recent apps in 3.3 instead of the toggles. Or maybe an option would be cool
[Droid Incredible General] djl236:
I'd personally like to see a nice stable, fully functioning ROM using the Desire Z. I love the Desire Z ROM but its just too unstable and buggy for me to use everyday, which is why I use your Skyraider with Sense. I'd love to see you take a crack at the Desire Z.
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
no matter what you touch, turns to gold. I'm loving the classic look, but the new age feel of your new rom Athena. But i would love to see something with the new sense.
[Droid Incredible General] tsoms:
ihtfp69! I love your work! I think you have done a great job with 3.5, stable, good battery life, just solid overall. Something I would LOVE would by skyraider options in the menu, like in athena (so I guess CM6 style, although I'm not too familiar with that, and not with Z at all). That on its own would really just make the next rom awesome! features would be so easy to add and change, it would be great. A few other things that could be cool are alternate toggle widgets in the pull down menu as well as new notifications in the old bar. I tried flashing the color n clear theme for the evo over your rom, and somehow it worked (it was just missing a few features, so I reverted back to just the red theme over your rom) and I LOVED the notification bar with the more detailed widget toggle things and awesome color notification themes. Also porting the evo messaging and camera to the rom (I did that on my own, but picture messages etc. didnt send and stuff). That would be awesome! Thanks ihtfp69 and I cant wait to see your new work!!
[Droid Incredible General] ihtfp69:
Thanks, Quote, Multi-Quote, Quick Reply ... damn, no Delete button. :rolleyes:

[Droid Incredible General] ksidirt:
If you could clean up the ZRom that would be awesome. Otherwise use the Stock but include various mods and features.

Oh and I'm still desperately waiting for someone to figure out how to allow a BT controller to connect to Sense Roms.
[Droid Incredible General] ihtfp69:
I'm not sure that will ever happen. I have tried it both ways (adding tv-out to cm6 and adding hid support to sense) with no luck.
[Droid Incredible General] brianem:
Sense stuff like people/contacts sync with facebook integration, and whatever else yields the best balance of speed and reliability. I can't use most the roms around here because they usually have known issues with features I bought my phone for, or apps I want to use. I've stuck with your sense flavor for pretty much...months, because its been dependable.
[Droid Incredible General] ksidirt:
Sad face. Oh well. Hope you try out the Z Rom base. Just don't stray too far from Sense. That's why we're all using your current release 3.5

I've been using SR since 1.0
[Droid Incredible General] gadget!:
I have also been using skyraider since the beginning and love the ROM.

But...

I have tried the Z ROMs and I have to say they are awesome but until recently they have just had to many issues for me.

I am running a Z ROM now that is very stable and the only thing not working is 720p video recording.

The Z ROMs have came a long way but I believe you could take it to the next level!

My vote is for a Z ROM.
[Droid Incredible General] mrlanrat:
ihtfp69,

How would using the new Thunderbold rom as a base work? I played with it today and it is very nice! Although i'm not sure if the TV out would work for us out of the box because it used HDMI.

And please do not include the drop down menu app history, I find it redundant and ugly :P
[Droid Incredible General] Troy89:
I would also like a stock ROM as base plus elements from the Z ROM and CyanogenMod. Though if you could include options for people to have either toggles or the recent apps pull down, both would be awesome but whatever works the best. Thanks for all the hard work and the poll :D
[Droid Incredible General] luke1987:
Ouch. Sad day indeed
[Droid Incredible General] broderboy:
voted. love what you've done recently with adding some of the CM6 stuff. never tried Z but would and would be excited with anything new you make
[Droid Incredible General] TheWhiteBandito:
The new Sense = Sexy

CM Customizations = Awesome

Sense + Cm = Amazing

What you're doing with Athena is much like second option, but with a little bit more Sense. No one has done a Z-based ROM with as much awesomeness as your Athena ROM.

So my vote is for the third option
[Droid Incredible General] Metallice:
I think ppl want a completely functional, stable, and feature packed Rom. If this can be done with a z Rom then do it.

Also I believe you should keep all the sense apps but impliment as many cm6 features as you can.

Good luck and I can't wait until my CS4 can have its way with your Rom.
[Droid Incredible General] pickleman77:
Agreed. A fully-functional Z rom would be amazing, but if you can get some of the cool features from Z over to a standard Sense rom, particularly the camera app, I'd be thrilled. Also, I'm a huge fan of the green Nexus S notification bar icons, so if you could implement those as well, it would be even better!
[Droid Incredible General] Berzerker7:
huehuehuehuehuehuehuehue
[Droid Incredible General] parkson:
Just to chime in... doesn't anyone else think there are too many broken Z roms available already? Other than small mods and touches such as notification bar widgets and boot animations... wouldn't you agree that the only thing that truly separates them is the theming? And yes I have tried every Z rom released since ID's last release, only to see how progress is going. All of them have the same broken parts and bugs. It's discouraging to the point that I always return to stable, fully working sense roms.

Being as I only have one Android device, call me crazy, but, its imperative that everything on the phone just works. Does everyone else just have multiple devices and are able to treat their phones as "the latest and greatest" eye-candy or what?
[Droid Incredible General] parkson:
Deleted by me
[Droid Incredible General] mikerac:
This translation or gibberish makes no sense.
[Droid Incredible General] gadget!:
They don't all have the same broken features.

I have tried them all as well and I always come back to skyraider as well but I am currently running the "uber Z" ROM right now and it is very stable.

As far as I know the only thing not working is 720p video recording.

I for one really like the Z ROM.
[Droid Incredible General] setexascustoms:
+1
[Droid Incredible General] TheWizKid95:
HTC Thunderbolt! xD

i might be the only one who thinks this, but i think you should stick with sense roms. i dont think cm6 and sense mix well. and your skyraider roms are awesome! the thunderbolt rom with a bit of skyraider (espresso launcher, etc) would be awesome :D
[Droid Incredible General] Therev29:
You would make a lot of people happy if you could get the bluetooth stack from cm working with sense roms (i.e. wiimote)

Would also like to see the z camera ported. Any way to do just the camera and use the regular camcorder so we still have 720p? If not I'm happy with wvga recording

Add that to a mix of sr 3.5 and athena and we'll have an untouchable rom!!

Not sure if any of this is possible or just a wishlist.

Thanks ihtfp for everything you've done for the community, looking forward to whatever you release.
[Droid Incredible General] karnovaran:
Stable Sense with CM features would be great. I want to use Sense but always go back to CM for its plethora of tweaks.
[Droid Incredible General] bluewave53:
ever since the Z Rom came out i was always wishing you would make your own version. the speed of the Z Rom is what intrigues me and i think alot of other people. so the speed of the Z Rom and the stability of your Skyraider Rom would be amazing.
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
I think the people have spoken! The stability of SkyRaider mixed with the goondness of CM6 and Z ROMs would be the ultimate we have been waiting for. ESP seeing as this Thundercrap I mean bolt isn't as impressive as we'd most hoped for.
[Droid Incredible General] terribL_T:
Use ruu as base just add desire z browser and media player. Actually 3.5 with z browser and media player would be the bees knees.

Eta: skyraider is the best
[Droid Incredible General] inc(red)ible:
Well...I love all of the "original" looks of your skyraider roms. I also love the stability, which I believe is key. I'm on sr sense 3.5 right now. Used Athena and I LOVED it, especially with there cm additions. Would love to see that in sr sense 4.0 (mainly the settings like previously posted) the main thing I don't like in Athena is that I cannot use old apps. I would love if you could leave that as an option and let the user add or remove stock messenger, gallery, etc.

Would also love to see the widget minimalization option (where multiple similar apps are put in a folder section when going to add to home screen)

It would be nice to be able to add personal apps to the notification system toolbar. Overall, I love you're work and choose to use your roms over others mainly due to the trusted stability.

So to get back to your question, I want more cm6 please with optional stock apps since that's what we are looking for with your roms is the stock sense look with more customization. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] ThugEsquire:
I voted for a Z ROM mixed with CM6, but I'd need the 720p video recording to work. I'd also love to see the recent apps replace the power toggles in the notification drop-down.

I certainly wouldn't be disappointed with the more popular option, a "stock RUU [mixed] with Z and CM6 ROMs".

I'm also looking forward to seeing the regulatory domain option appear soon under advanced WiFi settings!

Thanks again for the awesome ROM.
[Droid Incredible General] luke1987:
If you could incorporate the ability to skip tracks with volume while locked it'd be cool
[Droid Incredible General] ctinsley:
How about a thunderbolt port instead of a z port? With the leaked ruu is it possible yet?
[Droid Incredible General] inc(red)ible:
This is available in Athena 1.2 just press and hold vol up or vol down while display is off
[Droid Incredible General] luke1987:
I know. But it'd be cool to have with sense. Athena is cool I just love sense.
[Droid Incredible General] ihtfp69:
Yes, this will be there along with some other simple mods.
[Droid Incredible General] luke1987:
Cool thanks ihtfp. No one does it like you
[Droid Incredible General] TokedUp:
Any new news on SRS 4.0? I want a Z "type" rom real bad. Heard the music player is way better.
[Droid Incredible General] pokedroid:
Throw in whatever mods you want, just dont get rid of Rosie ;)
[Droid Incredible General] ihtfp69:
Yeah, rosie will stay in my sense rom.
[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
How about 4 rom editions

1 - stock ruu + customizations for those who want stability over other things.

2 - stock + z + cm6 for the nerds who want everything.

3 - stock + z for those who want to try z.

4 - sotck + cm6 for those who want cm6 stuff.

while this may sound like a lot of work, you will have our undying love, everlasting gratitude and then there are donations too.
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
I say just make one ROM he can keep up with. As it is he already has two GREAT ROMs out to support. 4 more... eh that's asking alot.
[Droid Incredible General] ksidirt:
Yeah he's already got a couple ROMs. I still want to see what he can do with a Z Rom.
[Droid Incredible General] rkmFL:
With all of this talk about Z-ROM's, I'm curious -- is there a good thread someone can point me to, that explains what the major appeal is, with the Z-ROM versus DInc ROM's?

Or if it's simple, perhaps explain the major benefits?

I've searched, but I cannot find anything definitive.

Thank you in advance,

RKM
[Droid Incredible General] cengator:
I would really like a stock Z ROM with all the garbage removed, optimizations made while still keeping Sense... just a basic Sense-Z port focusing on performance and full functionality, even so far as having localized versions (ie. english only, etc). I really really like Chingy's Incredibly-Reengineered ROM circa v1.1 before all the themeing madness occurred: Stock Evo port, optimized, simple. Unfortunately it is not compatible with the more recent radios.
[Droid Incredible General] luke1987:
Z roms have the new sense. Its pretty close to dinc sense but has a few subtle changes. I guess it has a few major changes aswell. Give it a try for a couple days. Virus is well put together
[Droid Incredible General] Stam2000:
I love 3.5. The only things that I would honestly like to see is the dlna from the Desire Hd added and the music player from Z rom. Other then that I'm good.

P.S. I'm pretty sure when I tried the Desire HD port from Incdoes that the dlna was working cause my PS3 recognized my Incredible
[Droid Incredible General] codyppc:
I would pay to see Verizon visual voice mail work. If people don't pay for it and don't want it, they could remove it. Some pay for it and want it. Some peoples companies pay for it. Lol

Thanks, Cody

[Droid Incredible General] ihtfp69:
You mean the music app from the HD build. The only reason you find it in the z roms is because it was ported.

Why doesn't vvm work?
[Droid Incredible General] codyppc:
i dont know. i have tried everything and cant get it to work. it really sucks to be paying for something you cant use. sucks worse to be wanting to use something that i cant. i end up sacrificing the custom roms i want to run so i can keep vvm. i did learn how to get the kitchen on a mac and cook my own.

i get to many voice mails to be stuck with google voice. :mad:

i started a thread yesterday here if efforts to get this figured out.

Thanks, Cody
[Droid Incredible General] Stam2000:
Oh didn't know that.
[Droid Incredible General] rkmFL:
Yes, I'm in the same boat.

+1 on Visual Voicemail (VVM) for me!
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
This thread is to get an idea for 4.0.. not to ask questions about 3.5.. there is already a thread dedicated to that ROM..
[Droid Incredible General] sf11035:
is there an eta for skyraider 4.0? itching to try it out...
[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
could u really ask santa claus for too much?
[Droid Incredible General] sf11035:
can you incorporate landscape mode to the home screen? that would be huge for me.
[Droid Incredible General] JoeProcopio:
keep all sense widgets, but have them available upon installation, so we can pick and choose....

major thing from Z roms would be the mail apps with the multi-check boxes...

I have an issue with Z based roms, can't connect to SiriusXM through 3G, so if you can get that working, then by all means, Z/CM6 base would be fine....

AOSP helper

Could you make it compatible with the AOSP helper required for Juicedefender to toggle 3g and 2g?

No matter what ya do, I hope ya keep supporting the athena ROM. That's a ROM i've been waiting for.

would love for the htcsense.com features to be functional on this rom (ie remote wipe, lock, location, etc.)
[Droid Incredible General] luke1987:
Some more functionality on the lockscreen would be cool. Like sms or browser shortcut instead of volume.
[Droid Incredible General] m411b:
ETA Please......

LOL, J/K

Seriously though, I would love to see landscape on the home screen and maybe a few themes built in that we can choose from through a setting or something. I don't know if this is possible or not, but it would be really handy!

Great job BTW.
[Droid Incredible General] ihtfp69:
FYI, I will most likely not port the hibernate feature again. Its too big of a pain and not worth the trouble. It will only be there if I use the Thunderbolt or Z rom as a base. Does the Thunderbolt rom have hibernate?
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
I'm not sure, but I'd assume so.
[Droid Incredible General] inc(red)ible:
The hibernate feature is one of my main reasons for going back to skyraider sense after Athena...

It would be very sad to see it leave. Is it possible to have it as an "extra" where we could flash it on our own?? :)
[Droid Incredible General] derek910:
Would it be possible to make the default messaging app do pop up notifications like chomp or handcent do? Might be a stupid question ,but didn't know if it possible to make that happen.
[Droid Incredible General] aostl:
Skyraider thunderbolt would be awesome!!! That's what I vote for. Since its Verizon more of the little broken stuff from z ports would work I assume
[Droid Incredible General] ctinsley:
I completely agree it's time for the inc to get a thunderbolt port.
[Droid Incredible General] aostl:
Yep and ihtfp is a beast so it would be even better
[Droid Incredible General] patsfan1130:
Fyi...ihtfp69 announced he is not going to supported his roms any longer. Maybe one more update but that's it. Rip skyraider
[Droid Incredible General] jesssiii:
ANYTHING TRANSPARENT (OR AT LEAST BLACK)

Prefer Stock or AOSP, Z seems too buggy but whichever you do, I'll try ;)

Hi, the new rom manager has posted a few pictures of skyraider sense 4.0. Does this indicate there will be 4.0 coming out?
