New Custom Kernel v1

Hi, guys.

I have prepared something for you to play with - a brand new 2.6.35.10 kernel especially for HTC Legend.

Changes:
- config cleanup
- fixed cpufreq for Legend
- automaticaly set cpu speeds to 120-768MHz ondemand, you can change that. 50setcpu init.d script will be removed with this update!
- added conservative and powersave governors
- ext4 - i need someone to test this and confirm if it's working
- swap - i need someone to test this and confirm if it's working
- enabled forced module loading
- LZMA compression for smaller image size

Install:
Flash WITHOUT a wipe on top of my ROM.

Download:

P.S.> Trackball wake isn't working for now... :(

having issues with bt... with handsfree connected switching to bt audio takes too much time, i.e. the phone can dial and ring and only at 3-4 ring I can ear the audio by bt... very annoying. Didn't have these problems with my stock rom

Just flashed the new kernel, and it seems to be booting a lot faster (maybe it's just me), setcpu now shows max cpu freq of 806 mhz(~790 mhz before).
I would give anything if the wifi reboot issue would be fixed.
Anyway great job ogo! Your ROM is the best!

First of all this is gingerbread 2.3.3 compared to 2.3.7 in the above thread. Also, this has HTC Sense 2.1, where the other doesn't(it's based on cyanogen mod 7).

As i read in the thread, the 2.3.7 rom isn't completely translated from chinese, but it's fast. You should read the whole thread to make an impression about it.

It keeps freezing for me when booting up - sometimes it comes up with "root.." other times "rooted" - and the screen jibberish.

Anyway had to flash back to RC4

My findings so far on the standard RC4B from the first page

1. It very prone to crashing
2. everytime i try setup an exchange account it just exits to the accounts page

RC4b Gingerbread

Hi Guys,

I flashed this ROM to my legend after nearly bricking it a few times trying to root it. (Goldcard method + clockwork ) :cool:

I also flashed the radio mentioned somewhere in the thread but my phone keeps saying it is in Roaming mode?

I dont have this issue when i flashed back to Froyo. Is this issue maybe radio related?

Also the HTC FM radio app ... do we know why its not working?

I managed to mount the filesystem '/system/app' in RW mode from a terminal whilst in the clockwork bootloader.
I've put the apk file back on the device with adb push (tried several versions actually) but everytime I start the app it it crashes.

Is it possible the kernel does not have all required modules to interface with the chip?

thanks for a technical reply.

Cheers :D

I'm not sure if the rom can be the reason for that.

Because it's written for broadcom chipsets...

Well my phone never made it past the bootup animation. Currently running the normal RC4 and its very unstable
I had the same problem at the beginning.(phone crashes after 2-5 minutes).The problem us that the kernel is set to 768 mhz as standard.you must install setcpu and set it again to 600mhz.

Sry for my English

Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

Hello I have downloaded the rom and RC4 and I get ready to test it on my old HTC Legend.

If you need to try something I am at your disposal as a beta tester


A greeting and thanks for your work.
