[ROM] CRQ 1.3 for HTC Legend (Based on WWE 3.15.405.6) [25.02.2012]

[cyRq]

I present you my first publicly released (and probably last) ROM for the Legend.
This isn't something revolutionary. It's just a ROM I've cooked for myself and i you willing to try it, go ahead. It contains a hell lot of stuff made by others which are respectably credited (I hope ).

Always make a nandroid, and flash on your own risk!

Installation

No rocket science - Wipe and flash via Clockwork
First run will take some time since the ROM is deodexed

Issues

Even if you use A2SD, internal memory may shrink very fast after installation. That's because Darktremor Script is enabled by default and this is due to dalvik-cache not being moved to SD on first boot. Use A2SDGUI to move and rebuild it. This can take up to 5 minutes.

Credits

I would like to thank a bunch of people who helped me understand how **** works Legend was/is my first Android based phone and I've learned a lot from this forums. Big props to BlaY0, ogo2, TheGrammarFreak, cryshop, ali ba and others who kept this little device alive.

you know what would be cool a froyo sense rom were you have gpu ui rendering and pinch to zoom in photo gallery and in browser like 2.1 used to have instead of using HTC`s stock crappy ported rom that made a pretty good phone running on eclair performe horrable in froyo (performance increase my ass, the phone may be better under the hood but for a simple picture viewing.........
and having andother app on it to do that, kinfa makes the sense rom worthless
wouldn`t you agree

Wow, I know which ROM I'm heading to if I ever need to go back to Sense. Well done!

 

[caretaker01]

compare android 2.1 with sense for legend (browser, gallery app, fps in games) and any 2.2 with oveclock you will see a huge difference as the 2.1 is much smoother because every 2.2 sense is stock based and it runs horrable (nobody tweaked it in the general ui)
or maybe my legend just hates 2.2 roms

 

[Cristian_berme]

I tried this ROM, and the Adobe Reader gets FC everytime I try to open it

If you're not S-OFF or unlocked it will. Just like any app trying to write something to /system.

So far so great! I wanted something wellworked that WASN'T a Gingerbread ROM - Why? Because they're worse for the Legend since there aren't any bloody drivers, making wifi unstable and breaking tether into forced ad-hoc mode, which doesn't work with my Transformer ICS.

I think I'm S-On though, which is poop.

I thinks its just you. When i was still using stock froyo, it worked smoothly for me without overclock... just don't overclutter your phone with lots of widgets

What he said was true, Froyo Sense base roms on HTC Legend are worse than Eclair Sense/Espresso ones. I had a lot of chances to compare these in the past (while I'm still using HTC Legend) since I cooked them alot. The FPS of 2.1 is always higher than 2.2's (using Neocore to benchmark), and the UI is faster for sure.

Fortunately, the ported 2.3 Sense Rom from HTC Wildfire S/Salsa is as smooth as 2.1 Sense (as I remember), so definitely HTC did a better job and Froyo Sense was totally a failure.
