Hi all, I'm sharing my days experience on beta1 which unfortunately have not been good. As an update to the tb restore issues I was having, I discovered that I still had some apps in the tb repository backed up from the time I was on gingerbread, in any version upto beta0 I didn't have any issues restoring my apps, however in beta1 doing a batch restore it gets stuck on the apps that were backed up from gingerbread days, so I filtered out the apps from gb and only restored apps from ics version and everything went well, or so I thought :(
I hate to complain about the great work being done here, but after a day on beta1 my phone went compleatly haywire basically the whole phone went into FC every app pretty much went into melt down, even cwm which is a system app wouldn't work (tried to do a fix permissions).
To make matters worse even my backup of beta0 became corrupt.
So have done a fresh flash if beta0 so far my phone is OK but I am almost coming to the belief that my rom space has bit the dust with bad blocks from to much flashing, only time will tell.

I had no trouble with TB. I went from Beta0+Link2SD to Beta1+Data2Ext. Backups were made with TB 5.1.0 and restored with 5.1.1.

I also find Beta1 less stable than Beta0 so far, but overall I am very happy with the new beta! Complete story is in General section. My mistake to post it there..

edit: little thing I'd like to add: all backups I made are from apps I installed on Alpha5 or Beta0, except Angrybirds ;p I don't know if any gingerbread mess-ups are causing the problems you have, but I decided to delete all old TB backups (copied to pc) and make fresh ones. Just in case..

Up until now, I've been using s2e for my ext support, I am currently testing with no s2e and no ext, and fresh apps from the market to see how that goes, I suspect that the newest version of s2e is causing some of the issues.

I upgraded to beta1 this morning, and after just 8 hours with this new version I'm sure I won't go back.

This is REALLY smoother, I can see animations even in Google Play Music! Trebuchet now is a great launcher ( I'm not going to replace it ) and smoother than Apex.
Also, new CM9 functions are a must-have!

The only issue was a Gallery Launch Crash that persisted until I removed it from "recent apps" in multitasking, but the fault could be of all the Performance>Memory options that I applied.

You're doing a great job zeubea! Thanks so much!

just an ideea

here is an interesting ideea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0subD1L9y2U&feature=player_embedded#!
includeing sense 4.0 in zubea`s great rom
Given the fact that he is doing a remacable job maybe when htc release the source code to desire C, some features can be imported like beats, camera etc including video codecs that are a bit of a problem for now
as far as i know the terminal has 512 ram and a 600 cpu probably adreno 200 (can`t say yet)

Wauw!

Just installed Beta1 this morning and up to know it makes me very happy :D

First thing is the installation. Wiped data, factory reset, wiped cache, wiped Dalvic, installed Beta1, installed Gapps (full version) and no Bootloop :D. Great boot animation, runs smoothly.

No fc yet. Makes a very stable impression. Just restored all my apps with Tb, no problems, except for tb proces quiting sometimes. Installed Apex. Still miss some features in Trebuchet. New Apex has nice integration in system setting!

Up to now, after 6 hours of little usage, no problems at all. Great work again Zuebea :p;):D

Update 1: Gps fix much faster than Beta0. s2e no problems. Still very happy

Good news, it would seam that I have tracked down the cause of my issues, I have been using the newest versions of s2e available from the market, current is 2.2.1, in order to get it activated you need to enable mount ext3 as ext4 (without journaling). My ext is just the stock partitions done through clockwork mod which of course is ext3, up till now I have not had any issues so have never considered changing it. The only conclusion I have is by mounting the ext3 as ext4 is causing stability issues, there are technical reasons behind this but that's for another discussion in another tread.
After going back to version 1.2.0 of s2e I have been using my phone all day with out the issues I experienced before.
As for apps FC, doing a fix permissions in clockwork mod app fixed most of the apps that were fcing but there were still a few that didn't work, downloading fresh one from market was the final solution.
Now I got it working properly, having heaps of fun :D

Hello, I just installed this ROM and I'm having some problems. Whenever I hit my home button on my Legend, the phone does not respond and take me home. Instead I have to keep on pressing the back button until I get to the main menu. As well as my phone is not accepting incoming calls..I can make texts and outgoing calls but it's not accepting any incoming calls. Lock screen also not working other than on the first unlock after boot. Are these known issues in the beta? Any fixes possible? Thanks. I understand this is beta so I'm in no hurry.

Try to fix permission in rom manager or in cwm

Does anyone have issues with WiFi?
I've enabled one of the 2 options available to turn off wifi while the phone is in standby mode, and with both options, when I turn on the screen, wifi doesn't find my network (it says it's out of range) and when I turn off wifi the phone reboots.

Can someone test this?

    7) lights,
    8) leds,
    9) sensors,
    10) sdcard,
    11) overclock (really not necessary since HWA, it can work at 600MHz; if you do it, not beyond to 787 mhz)
    12) root,
    13) adb,
    14) vibration,
    15) tones, ringtones, notifications, alarms

    MEDIAFIRE: cm-9.1.0-UNOFFICIAL-BETA8-legend.zip [UPDATED DEC 07]
    MD5SUM: 6819a4747e293cf0fc589b52aa3a15c1

    Donate Paypal
    * All donations are welcomed; if you desire it, you can invite me to a beer :)

    Thanks very much to everyone, your contrib does possible I spend more time on this project !!
    Prerequisites : hboot >= 1.02.0000

    1.- Wipe data/reset factory
    2.- Wipe cache
    3.- Advanced -> wipe dalvik
    4.- Install cm9 (it takes a time)
    5.- Follow the wizard if applicable
    6.- Reboot
    7.- Install gapps


    * These steps work for me.
    ** Check the latest available radios for your Location/Carrier
    *** Note gps.conf is set up according Europe location

    ISSUES:

    Youtube HQ / Video HQ is working, thanks to Ganster41 libstagefright fix for Video decoding. However, embebed videos in browser are shown as a black area

    Headset icon missing (although headset works)

    Working, but third part app is needed for:
    - wifi sleep (dont use native wifi sleep)

    Native camcording is working. Videos are accessibles by means of a file manager.

    HBOOT >= 1.02.0000 is needed. If you has got problems with installation and a different HBOOT than 1.02.0000 (0.43.0000, 1.01.0000), consider upgrading HBOOT to 1.02.0000 or S-OFF.

    TWEAKS & TRICKS:

    - Use "Use wifi in suspension always" + third part wifi timer. Otherwise, native wifi sleep does not work and you could get reboots.
    - Voice Search : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25126525&postcount=651
    - Because AMOLED display, browsing with inverted colors save a lot battery and avoid overheating of display.
    - Camcording works with third part app as Camera Illusion.

    FAQ

    1.- Is this rom using the new Adreno200 drivers for ICS?
    Yes. They are used with kernel enabled gpu acceleration since ALPHA3.

    2.- What is the status of camera?
    At BETA3 all camera is working (photos, preview, camcording and panoramic). Camcording works with a third part app as Camera Illusion.

    3.- Can i connect a usb flash drive to the phone using a usb otg cable?
    USB On The Go is not supported. This feature is supported for a few recent high-end devices, such as Samsung Galaxy S2.

    4.- Can performance get better?
    Yes you can try out this tweaks http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25018796&postcount=551. Besides, you can overclocking it with caution.

    5.- about GPS
    * flash the latest radio,
    * dont flash another gps libs from out

    6.- Is this usable for daily usage?
    Rather yes, it is.

    NEW 7.- What about incoming call issue?
    Well, I experimented this issue only one time with beta4 release, and for this reason I did not include this issue in previous release. Then, and motivated for trying out other more tested kernels, I have switched to cryptomilk kernel (credtis to modpunk/cryptomilk/droste), used sucessfully in ohter htc msm7227 devices as marvel, aria, chachacha.

    Hi, I am very busy this weeks and at the moment i can not work in camcoder. It implies debbuging android libstagefright and possibly OpenMax video decoder, because it has got an not informed error when camera records video. I also merged last video related commits of cyanogenmod (thanks to homi3kh for notice me) but it is not enough for doing it working.

    The state of camera in other msm7227 devices is equal to Legend, indeed Legend was first msm7227 device having preview, and other devs contact with me about it. If it was for help for fix it, great! About armv7 archs, Desire S and Desire has got camcorder but Nexus One does not. SGS2 and Nexus have got, obviously.

    I have planned a to-do list, including:
    - Camcorder,
    - Pending fixes "fixed" (Limit data usage, boot animation size, gb AGPS fix, voice search, wifi/VPN realed settings, etc..),
    - Inverted Apps,
    - OJ Wake up (fixed in my local repo)

    This future update will be release in base to when is camcorder fixed, because I intend they are not so important as camcorder.

    On the other hand, it is a very good news that CM9 Legend Beta0 has got beyond 2,000 downloads, incredible!, it is also thanks to you, and 7 donations (not bad); thanks very much, your contribs are very appreciated!!).

    Well, I will stay off during next two weeks and then I will work at camcorder and I will release an update with minor fixes.

    Hi, i am here again ...

    CM9.1 BETA 5 Sep 18 2012
    - kernel :
    * switch to cryptomilk kernel (thanks to cryptomilk : modpunk, droste etc.) : more tested kernel, working ok in aria and marvel.
    - CM 9.1:
    * updates from upstream.

    CM10 ALHPA1 Sep 18 2012
    - Initial Release: very unstable, not working: sdcard and more stuff. Wifi module provokes reboots.

    CM9.1 is very stable for now. Cryptomilk kernel is more mature and tested.

    CM10 is higly buggy, with stuff not working, but it seems more responsive than ICS. It is just a first Jellybean build.
    24
    Guys, I applied a couple of patches and I have built a camera module which only takes phots, no preview, no recordig, etc. It is a first step.
    24
    Well, good news, finally camera preview worked. However video recording apparently must would be working, but parameters are not setting properly in camera driver by camera HAL module.

    Because camera is working partially, I think now is a a good time for starting beta series. I know this camera module is not fully stable and I don´t know when video will be fixed o if this module will be fully stable, but I think we are at a similar level as other CM9 devices.
