** As i don't have HTC Legend anymore, i won't be able to port and share any ROM for Legend anymore. So, anyone are welcome to kang, modified, enhance or whatever you like to this ROM. Just make sure you give appropriate credits ESPECIALLY to the creator of ROM based that i ported over. Best Regards. **

About

As some of you know, several few days ago, i have put an efforts to port Miuiv4 to our device. I'm not a developer, just doing some simple mods but i'm dying to see miuiv4 to run in our device and to see how other device that have similiar hardwares with our legend have motivate me. Now, i have fixed most of the issue and given permissions to share it with you all. :)

I have put the links to ROM that i take as base so please go there and hit thanks to the respective devs to show our appreciation to their hardwork.

I appreaciate any suggestions but requests are not welcome at all.. I do it for you for free.. :)

Screenshots:

2. Put into your sd card
3. Boot into CWM
4. Do backup (MUST!)
5. FORMAT /boot, /system, /cache, /data if do clean installation. Skip if want to flash on top of 2.7.6
6. Flash the ROM

You also can install from ROM Manager (2.7.6). Thanks to OZNER93 for the testing.

Working Lists (2.9.21):

13. Miui Prevent Misuse mode (screen will be locked is prox sensor detected something covering it while phone being unlocked)
14. Google Now tested working. Not included. Get it from its thread
15. Many other upstream Miui features

Not working (2.9.21):

1. everything that doesn't work in cm9 also doesn't work
2. Usb tether
3. Headset
4. please report

Issues+Hints (2.9.21)
1. When applying theme, statusbar doesn't get themed completely, you need to reboot after that
2. When applying statusbar Mod from Miui Toolbox, your statusbar will disappear for a while and your phone seems hang, let it until your phone self reboot.
3. Be sure to clear RAM (long press home button) after do multitasking to avoid random reboot.
4. Total size of internal memory in Settings -> About is not correct.
5. Cursor in composing text for sms is not clearly visible in portrait mode.
6. Launcher
Screenshot_2012-09-26-05-10-58.png

1st time boot, it will look weird. Press menu button -> Launcher settings, change grid layout type to 4x4.
Turn off icon shadow to save RAM.
7. Miapps
Backup app is removed from ROM. If you need it, take the apk files attached and push both of it to /system/app/
8. If you keep facing issue after rebooting phone, freeze/remove LBE Guard using titanium backup or using root explorer, it is problematic miapps. I should remove it from ROM by default.

Working Lists (2.7.6):

1. Phone (call/sms)
2. Bluetooth
3. wifi
4. themes (local/online/mixed/backup)
5. camera
6. vibrate
7. google account sync
8. play store
9. miui backup
10. root access
11. screenshot
12. soft nav-bar (enable in ics control panel and do Hot reboot; long press power -> reboot -> Hot Boot and you can rearrange its position in settings -> full settings -> Button -> customize screen key position)
13. adb
14. oc (use third party apps like no-frills cpu)
15. Swipe to clear notifications
16. etc etc.... [lazy mode ;p ]

Not tested (2.7.6):

1. Gps
2. vpn

Not working (2.7.6):

1. everything that doesn't work in cm9 also doesn't work
2. torch (please use third party apps)
3. some options in ics control panel (overscroll effect and app drawer)
4. Usb tether
5. please report

Hints:

A. Turn off animation and set background process limit to "at most 4 processes" in developer options for better performance.Turn off "show rounded corners also might help a little.
B. If you get an annoying popup every time you reboot that saying "export internal data to sd card" as per screenshot below,



this will happen when you try to open Themes while your sdcard still not fully mounted.
To fix it,
1. open root explorer
2. go to /data/sdcard/
3. there will be one empty folder named MIUI (make sure it is really empty first)
4. delete it.



you also can do it via recovery
1. adb shell
2. cd /data/sdcard/
3. rm -r MIUI

now that annoying pop up wont appear again :)

Change dpi
1. Use root explorer or adb
-from root explorer, go to /system/
-mount r/w
-edit in text editor build.prop
-find ro.sf.lcd_density = 133
-change to 132, or default 160 or whatever value that you prefered
-save changes
-reboot

2.using adb
-pull build.prop
adb pull /system/build.prop
-make same changes as above method to it
-push back to /system
adb push build.prop /system/
Camera

If camera hang/freezed, go to Settings -> apps -> all, clear data for camera. 1st time launch will take a while. Be patient.

Screenshot_2012-09-26-10-45-57.png
Attached are the Miui Camera. Install as normal app. Load faster but panoramic mode is not working. Upon launching it, turn it off (panoramic mode) from setting.

Some issue with updater script. maybe got some intermittances during upload. reuploading again now. so sorry..
The differences are some bugs especially graphics glitches are fixed, supersu fully working, ics control panel added and some other things.

Edit: actually that ROM you asked is mine; my initial build. :)

feed3 hi

Most of the apps i want to install, from the market, say that they are not compatible with my device
Did you wipe data before install? I can confirm it is working fine with me. Try clear data for play store and google services framework.
If you didnt like the custom dpi, how if i create one with normal dpi and normal play store. Anyone want it?

Anyone that want to use miui gallery, it is not perfectly scalled for dpi i set. You might want to try to set dpi to 132, can confirm it is better at that dpi. or use cm stock gallery. When i come back from leave, i will attach the apk.

have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580827


@feed3: more languages would be awesome :D
I think i can pull some lang files from cm for other language but i don't know how for other apk that have been completely translated inside the apk inside as what i have done for miui gb previously. Anyone can help on this matter? Credits will be given to you of course and i will add your name into the logo that you saw in settings -> about phones to show my appreciation to you for helping..
