installed, so first of all...tnx :)
i've 2 questions:
when you'll release an update, there is a way to don't miss every setting, homescreens or installed apps?
there is a way to install that kind of "widget" that CM have when you scroll down the notification bar?

Thanks for the ROM, works great except I cant install anything from the market. "Your download was unsuccessfull, please try again later". Any ideas what might be causign this?

Edit - rebooting for the second time seems to have fixed it.

I was waiting for this guy to make a ROM... Seems like the Legend development scene just keeps getting better. My server has been acting up lately but
I will try to host your ROM soon enough. If I have your permission of course.

And also, will there be any overlay-goodness in the future? :)

And of course post is directed at BlaY0. Rest of you can shut up :)

OK, thanx m8 now we have enough sources I think. Either way next week we will have to upload newer version ;)
 
Sure thing. I also have some other goodies planned for future versions. This is just the beginning... we now need to test what HTC prepared us and then we will go on...

Actually.. I have already made a few changes to this already..

I can see that HTC did not give us (Legend Users) the CAR PANEL by default..

Took it from the Gratient ROM and deodexed.. and added Darktremor..

I know the question for this will eventually be asked.. ;)

Perflock is disabled via kernel module from SetCPU. If you use kernel without perflock, then you should use SetCPU or similar software to set some profiles. Stock kernel in Voda ROM also had some problems with ondemand governor (dunno if this is still the case with this one) forcing the proc to the highest frequency most of the time which is not good for your battery I guess. Maybe it is not such a good idea to disable perflock with this kernel after all so here is how you can enable it again:
Code:
adb shell chmod 644 /data/local/init.d/90perflock
adb reboot
...or use my kernel from the other thread (I know you already tried that). Future versions of this ROM will also contain OC kernel etc.

yeh battery life on the Voda ROM was horrible before your kernel. The HTC one actually feels quite similar, maybe a smidge smoother here and there. And I have not had a single freeze since i flashed the custom kernel. I always use SetCPU anyway but if i recall correctly I installed it after flashing the new kernel so i can't tell you how well it would have worked with the stock kernel.
Thanks for all your work!

@whitetigerdk: Does DT work out of the box with my run-parts? I'm asking because I had to make some changes to it to be working correctly... was talking with tkirton and I hope he will apply my changes into his next release...

Yeah, was planning on adding that Car Pannel myself too. And Camera app with face detection...

Well... The first build seem to just start up HTC screen.. then turning to black screen - nothing happen from here.. :-/

Rebuilding now.. (at first I actually forgot to add DT ... :rolleyes: )

BTW, going to try this release in a few mins.

Just read about the perflock thing (enable it again). It should help. In the mean time I will prepare a new kernel for this.

    Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian and Arabic

    Installation

    Installation is done via recovery mode using ClockworkMod recovery. If your phone is S-OFF then I guess you know what to do.

    Upgrade

    Wipe dalvik-cache before upgrade.

    Patches

    Patching is done via recovery mode like any other update. For changes see changelog!


    Issues

    • Adobe Reader FC when you press BACK
    • installation of HTC widgets not possible
    • using system overlay with data2ext followed by a power failure may corrupt ext2 file system on SD card
    • hostname resolution not working due to changes in framework
    • two suns/moons on clock widget
    • some resource grafx inconsistencies
    • missing some APNs from stock ROM
    • Stocks app FCs
    • some people reported ocasional Wi-Fi problems (it shows connected but no data can go through)
    • some people reported problems syncing contacts from FaceBook
    • Opera Mini FCs with Arabic framework

    Notes

    1st boot will take several minutes for dalvik-cache to generate coz ROM is deodexed! Because every app is deodexed, dalvik-cache will grow ~20 MB bigger.

    kernel
    Default kernel speeds are 246 MHz min and 600 MHz max. It can be overclocked to max 806 MHz and underclocked to min 123 MHz. Default governor is ondemand. To change those parameters (speed or governor), use SetCPU or you can make a script run by run-parts that sets those parameters for you on every boot.

    kernel modules
    Loading kernel modules is done by editing /data/local/modules file. Modules are added separated by spaces or one per line (ext4 and ipv6 added by default).

    system overlay
    You can check this thread on how to use it but in general just execute "aufs --enable" and reboot for changes to take effect.

    partitioning
    If you want to use a2sd or data2ext you need 2nd partition on your SD card. For partitioning you can use my customized CWM fake-flash but if you want to know more about partitioning consider consulting this guide.

    formatting
    To use your newly created partition you first have to format it using format_sd-ext utility via adb shell or some terminal app (not while in CWM). Utility accepts one parameter which can be either ext2, ext3 or ext4 according to your needs.

    a2sd
    To use this feature you have to enable it first. You do that by executing "a2sd --enable" via adb shell or some terminal app. To relocate dalvik-cache also, execute "a2sd --dc2sd" too. Reboot for changes to take effect. To see how much space do you have on relevant partitions execute "a2sd --free". If you want to disable a2sd, execute "a2sd --disable". In this case you loose all apps and dalvik-cache needs to be recreated upon reboot so make sure to backup apps before disabling.

    data2ext
    To enable this feature, execute "data2ext --enable" via adb shell or some terminal app. Reboot for changes to take effect. If you have problems, logcat 1st several lines of boot process to see what's going on and post your findings. Questions like "Why is data2ext not working on my phone?" will be ignored! Mind also that a2sd and data2ext can not run simultaneously!

    CAUTION! Rebooting your phone while using this feature might result in some or all user data being lost!

    SSH server
    SSH server is disabled by default. If you wanna use it enable it by executing "chmod 755 /data/local/init.d/50sshd" and reboot your phone. Authentication is done by private/public key pair. To login you need to populate /data/dropbear/authorized_keys with your public ssh key.

    hostname
    Changing hostname of your phone is done by editing /data/local/hostname file. Default hostname is "legend". If you don't want your phone to have hostname just delete contents of /data/local/hostname (make it zero size).

    boot animation
    If you want to change boot animation just "adb push" new bootanimation.zip to /data/local directory.

    F.A.Q.

    Answer to any frequently asked question here is:

    SEARCH THE THREAD COZ IT WAS ANSWERED BEFORE! PROBABLY MORE THAN ONCE!

    ...so if you are tempted to ask a question, you now know what to do 1st!

    If anyone wants a stripped down and moded version of this ROM, our friend ogo2 prepared us one. It is called nDAF!

    Big thanx goes to FeaRThiS and whitetigerdk for hosting this ROM and cryshop for grafx...
