Apparently wifi tethering works, even though many of the custom ROM developers have stated that the Legend hardware can't support it.

Err...why? Android-wifi-tether works on our Legend, then who said Legend hardware can't support it? Wifi Hotpot is just another form of Android-wifi-tether.

If it does work, that's fantastic. Wifi tethering is one of the features I'm really looking forward to in Froyo.
is there a live wallpaper?

Yes. Although personally I have better ways to flatten my battery.
ananthm2k5 - do you have a link to the official changelog?
does it have flash support?
Does Froyo work with HTC Sync 2.0.33? This info is critical for me since I'm stuck with Lotus Notes...

Flash 10.1.123 is reporting as the version in the default browser.
How that translates to "Your favourite Flash webpage" working is another matter.

It can't possibly work, as someone said that once read something on the Internet where someone else said it probability wasn't possible.....
I've updated my Vodafone branded HTC Legend, the only place I'd use flash is BBC iPLayer which I cannot get working, it displays the loading circle but then says "Adobe Flash; The content is not supported".
The speed is great, the animation of it opening the application of the application opening towards you, seems nice.
Live wallpapers is there, some nice stuff like the HTC flash light and apps2sd.
Other than that it just seems the same as before, the task launcher at the bottom hasnt changed, to a novice user it will just feel the same as before.
An annoying thing in my Internet browser after clicking a button to next page it keeps saying "Complete action using" even after I tick "Use by default for this action." it always pop back up.
Overall its similar to before, but the overall experience seems much better and smoother in my opinion. The web browser in particular is fantastic, much better than the one on Azure. Also the graphics seem very smooth in games.
It seems similar to the HTC Desire ROM now that we have the visual effects and liv wallpapers, though we obviously don't get HD video recording, and it seems we don't get Flash 10. Having said that, the HTC Flash Player SEEMS improved so at first I thought we had got Flash 10!

The hardware supports it fine. Our current drivers allow for an ad-hoc network. what would be better is AP mode (default Android tether), but the drivers and firmwares (for the wifi) didn't support it.

This is annoying. I have Beebplayer from before it was banned and myPlayer which is still available. Both work on BBC iPlayer and Live steams on HTC Legend on wifi or 3g, very well.
My Wifi reception is much better than before, at my desk I usually got 1 (just the dot) maybe 2 bars if I held my phone up, now where I would usually got 2 bars (dot + 1 line) I now get 3 bars! (dot + 2 lines)
WOOP!

Just installed the official update from HTC site (Sweden). Major difference in performance now. Some things i noticed so far:
- Contacts now scrolling smooth, before it would stutter bad.
- All lists scroll smother, including the standard Android lists.
- Lock screen animation smoother.
- All screen transitions seem smother as well, esp the one that appears when you press the "phone" button. Would skip and stutter for me before, now it animates each time.
- phone seem to starts up faster.
- Sense UI of course scrolling smoother and without stutter.
- Entire OS just feels smoother and snappier.
-Pictures in album scrolling much smoother.
- Camera update, you can choose focus point by touching screen and you can set ISO.
Really good update, im actually suprised of how much work seems to have gone into it.
If only HTC had done this when the phone was released, instead of as usual releasing it buggy and receiving bad reviews from the media. Good things though i guess is that from now on the upcoming phones will be superior. Hope they will work on marketing so the general user will notice android, now that the OS is fast, pretty and smooth(which seems to be what the "normal" user , i.e my dad and all his friends, cares about).
This is going to get really interesting, with iPhone 3.1 not being jailbroken it may be a real opportunity for the Hero to offer a credible alternative.
I left WM 2 months ago for an iPhone and am really enjoying the experience but am concerned about iPhone vulnerability at the moment with no JB solution. Luckily I have my work provided Hero in case my iPhone becomes locked.
:-D
Can you set the updated ROM to english? or is it just Nordic languages.
Can you post the exact version and build number?
Got one question for you, drsmisk:
When in the Browser, if you rotate to landscape and press the search button, does the keyboard star jumping and the notification bar start flashing?
(it does this in modacos 2.2 rom)
Build is 2.73.4055 146733 CL#61267
Software version is 1.0.0.A6288
there are several languages to choose from, all nordic languages and also english. I have the OS in english.
And yes, the keyboard and notification bar does jump when in landscape in browser. never noticed that before.
i've just updated using the nordic ROM. All my original languages (I'm Dutch) were present and available in the setup wizard. I don't understand the release of a 'nordic rom'. All languages I had used before are still available. And I have no nordic languages available. Apparantly the update didn't delete your previous languages.
The Hero is now super fast! Faster than my iPhone 3G. Excellent!!!
well, i bought a Dutch Hero, applied that WWE original rom and the WWE leaked update and still had "English (Netherlands)" and other original ones on the language selection screen :/ wish i knew can i kill it and make it WWE :/
I'm running an official release of this update (my device came back from repair and the service center reflashed my device with this new rom)
I agree with the speed improvements.
What I did notice, and I didn't have this problem with the old firmware, was some network problems. A few times a day I get a pop up screen saying I have a network problem and I should try again (both on Wifi and 3G) however, my laptop and my iPhone (all on the same WiFi network) run fine at the exact same time. When I switch the Sim card my iPhone doesn't have network problems but when I switch back my Hero is complaining again. The problem always solves itself again after a few minutes.

Apart from the speed issue, two main problems that many people are facing are:
1) The blurring/pixelating of the contact pics when calling or being called. This looks really ugly!
2) Thumbnails not being generated by the Albums app in certain SD cards, especially microSDHC 8GB class 6 cards, thus making the photo-veiwing experience not so great. It apparently is the same for MCR 2.2. However, works alright with the original 2GB class 2 card that comes with the phone.
Could those of you who have installed and played with the new ROM update or any other newer/custom ROM, please comment of these issues and whether they have been ressolved or not?
Cheers

what is advanced launcher?
it allows you to hide apps you don't use from your launcher drawer by dragging them to the trash.
Hey mssmison,
Your post says 320x240 res, but the decription on Vogue android says 320x480
Booted up using usual 320x480 fine, data and market works, able to place a call.
nice theme and pretty damn fast so far also.

actually, try 320x427 with lcd.density=160 for a correct aspect ratio while allowing the usage of all the apps.
very, very nice release indeed.
- using 320x427 with lcd.density=160 for correct aspect ratio while not breaking any apps (such as keyboard).
- very fast call notification (within 1st ringtone)
- wifi working
- data working
- market working
- very fast
- left some extra stuff, such as the rogers stuff (my account, ringback, ringtones), teeter, :-/
I set to 320x427 with lcd 160 but some apps like the music app is still getting cut off.
Also on the market I am only seein a few apps and games, not the full market.
I had this same issue with the 1.6 donut also.

Hi
What a wonderfull build.. Thanks a lot to all who have developed this. Andriod definetly is far better than WM (for me atleast)
Was able to install the rogers build. It took sometime. I used the rootfs.img that came with the zip but didnt work on my tilt. So i used the one from the basefiles-v2 and that did the trick. It took sometime to load initially but did work.
Things that worked
1. Wifi and Market. Was able to download applications
2. Browser working
3. Calling and SMS worked (though with slight issues)
4. GPS working (recoginzed in google maps and Sportyhal)
5. Import contacts worked
6. Music with good clear sound
7. Great speed
Things that didnt work or had issues
1. You tube connect and i can listen to music but can only see the first image that it download and not the whole video
2. For some reason I cannot confirm at this time the calling was going thru but wasnt able to hear the call answer
3. All new icons for shopping, Home, My account give errors
4. Standard things not working - Camera, bluetooth, speakerphone on call, the calibaration application always force closes.
Not tried data connection as I dont use it
Can anyone help me out with anyof the above issue or is this something everyone is facing.....
I will continue to use this version instead of WM ...
Thanks

May be tilt related with the calling. I use this as my daily build and haven't experieinced these issue. The rogers apps that are there are only for rogers network users. I had a request to leave them so I did. You can always hide them with the advanced launcher, just drag them to the trash.

About YouTube: when the video starts, go to options and select normal quality
I'm having a problem with the web browser.
Basically it keeps closing when I click on a link. Example, right here on the XDA forum when I click on one of the threads the web browser just shuts down & returns to the home screen. I had it just a day & took it back to the shop & they swapped for a brand new one.
Got home tried the web browser & it did exactly the same. I've not loaded any apps its straight out of the box, set up wifi & fire up the web browser.
Also I changed the UA string to desktop but it doesn't work either. Got no problems with my HTC Desire or the Dell Streak.
Any others having the same problem. Looks like I might have to return it again tomorrow.
I have experienced this too a couple of times. I found deleting cache data and cookies then also disabling plugins in browser settings seemed to fix this. Not a major issue.

Same here.
Strangely enough it only happened here at xda-devs but doing as you say cleared the issue and it's been right as rain ever since.
What does disabling plugins do? Does it stop flash from working? And how about the UA string, why won't it stay in desktop mode?
Thanks
As far as i can tell disabling plugins doesn't appear to do very much. I noticed YouTube videos will stop playing in the web browser (but will play in YouTube app perfectly fine) and that's about all. Flash support in this version of the browser is so minimal that it is barely worth having or switching on.
I have no idea about the UA string.
i had that problem on a nexus turned off my locations by wifi in settings and worked fine.
OK I've returned the phone for full refund at the shop I bought it from. I'm going to give the Galaxy S a final chance though as I will buy another from a different shop. I'm thinking it could be due to fact that the previous shop stock was from a dodgy batch of phones.
I think you'll be disappointed, sounds more like a software issue than a hardware one and I cant believe a batch of phones had a software flash go wrong like that. What id like to know is if this is just a Galaxy S thing or not? As I thought it was the same browser on all eclair phones.
I have a HTC Desire aswell. The web browser on the Desire doesn't have any of the issues I'm seeing with the Galaxy S. The problem I have with the Desire though is the external speaker volume is too low & tinny, but most significant is the pink tint when on the lowest brightness setting (I use the phone a lot in dark conditions). In saying that I noticed that the Galaxy lowest brightness setting is still much brighter than the Desire.

In what way?
I'm using it over the default browser and love it.
Ok, my browser (both the default one and Dolphin HD) shuts down randomly back to the main screen. Usually it's preceded by a single vibration, followed by three quick vibrations before it happens. This happens regardless of what website I am on.
I didn't have this issue at all on 2.1, and to be honest I really wish I hadn't bothered updating the phone as sites loaded and ran quicker on 2.1. Wondering if you guys have any ideas.
My baseband is I9000XXJPM

The vibration pattern you mention are indicative to a Force Close procedure.
Clearly something is interfering with the Internet App.
What happens after a reboot?
It's the same after a reboot. I rebooted it this morning before coming into work. Later in the morning I was on the internet on my phone and the same thing happened.
edit: I upgraded via the reg-hack to force Kies to give me the update. The JPM firmware is onlly for nordic regions, I'm wondering if maybe the proper European firmware will solve the problem...
Also: FIVE MINUTES BETWEEN POSTS FOR NEW USERS?? JESUS CHRIST, XDA!!

I would say it looks quite good that you have a problem with the ROM.
I would put the correct ROM on your SGS and if Kies is problematic use Odin.
There is a great information link on how to use Odin to upgrade a ROM at How to use Odin to Upgrade the SGS to Froyo.
I used it and it worked a breeze.

Dolphin, skyfire (i really hate this over hyped crappy product) uses stock browser engine. So, on froyo they perform as the default browser. Browser on froyo sucks badly. I browse quite often and got a few fc (vibrates.. phone unusable for seconds, that happen when an app FC in official froyo) or simply self close. Plus how much resources eats (cpu + mem).. simply pathetic. Eclair browser performance was way better..

That's just your opinion and you are quite entitled to it especially if you are experiencing the problems you mention.
Mine however performs without a hitch. It's quick, reliable and does exactly that as I ask of it.

Please Guys List Any Issue You Got So I Can Edit It To the Thread
Ok, number 10, its not a bug. The tab will trickle charge is used with standard cable.
If you buy an adaptor, then you can get it to charge at a 'normal' rate.

5 isn't a bug. Its a feature of gingerbread.
Wifi has been better for me on 2.3.3
The screen off animation is enabled if you flash Overcome 2.0.0 Beta 1 or 2.
No issues with the wifi. Working fine.
5. Actually is a good thing for me. I always tend to tap the wrong button when im in the dark cause the light turns off immediately on froyo. Though the disadvatages would be when watching movies, the light of the button can be distracting.
8. Is also not a bug. Lol

for the arab language ya maybe its not for u but it is for some ppl

I don't use the space bar using swype. It creates its own spaces.
therefore not a bug either. lol
Yeah right, but we're on Gingerbread \0/
I have VOIP working after applying this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...07&postcount=2
Then it shows up in Setting:Call Settings: Internet Call Settings
But I cannot answer incoming VOIP calls with the TAB (although it might work with a bluetooth headset) because there is no incoming call screen or answer button like there is for a normal GSM incoming call.
Outgoing calls work fine.
Im interested in voip on the sgt. Installed the fix. Now I need a sip account. Someone here to advice me on this one?

Copy to system/etc/permissions
You need r/w over there

why so ??????
Printing is not working (email and web) worked fine with my Tmobile USA Tab on 2.2.
The whole gingerbread is a collection of bugs! I dont like it in my tab! Froyo works way faster, smoother and better in the tab!

No idea what is wrong with your GB, but I'm finding GB to be the complete opposite!

Agreed. This is definitely working for me in GB - exactly the same behaviour as Froyo.

Well.i think they flashed gingerbread with to many bugs. For me im going to wait for an.update at kies. Im kinda scared of flashing it because of brick.

Inspite of the issues gb is much faster for me. The lag problems have greatly diminished

Weird. My tab hasn't experienced any lags despite the horde of apps eating up my ram in the background. It's much faster and smoother for me.

3.Settings you use to get the ROM work fast
4.Other general discussions
Have a nice day you all
New kernel [LV 0.6.2] download it from here
Thanks go to erasmux and riemer for the kernel work
Hallo, this rom is really fast, light and very minimalistic and the best for me is that colorize widgets work with the stock launcher! In this configuration its superfast with all widgets i need.
But i have a problem with my signal. Everytime when i hold the hero in my hands, the signal drop down to zero. Its like the bug on Iphone 4g.
a second bug is when i chose the cyan theme, the signal bar switches between white and cyan all the time.
I tested it with the stock kernel of this rom and with las venturas 0.5.
Im on O2 Germany and i have the latest radio
I just remembered this thread. When I was using this rom (yesterday) the market wouldn't show certain apps, e.g. Tweet Deck, and Catch That Bus

The problems with the market is an old one... in many roms you can't use these apps because the limitations of the phone...The best solution is to google them and after that install them from the SD card...be sure to check UNKNOWN SOURCES
If you experience any other problems please tell me

The color thing is with every theme u use...i personally use the same theme because i like the color, but i don't experience the same problem with the network loss...you can have this problems because u use a 3G connection and if it runs out of signal it switches back to 2g and that not so bad for talking..but it's bad when using the internet...
If you don't use a data connection all the time to watch youtube or other things...switch to 2g and see after that
Keep me in touch if you have any other problems and i will try to help you
Stefan
Thanks for your reply!
When i switch to wifi i have the same problem that i lose the signal. So i think its not a problem of switching between 2g and 3g.
In the developing area, there was another guy who had the same problem.
Im now on Floyo1.4 the bug is gone
But i will come back to this rom because its so minimalistic as no other one and thats what i want!
Try this

i sometimes have the same problem... but the phone rings and stuff like that... i think it's sometimes from the thickness of my apartment walls... but outside i don't have any problems
test the phone: if you're in WiFi and the phone rings... If yes that means that the widget has a problem, if you can't be contacted then it means you loose signal
PS: do you keep your phone in a case (like a silicone one or things like ) to protect the phone?
My phone isnt in a case.
Im now on Floyo, but i will move back and test a little bit.
The main reason that i changed was that im searching for a new job and my phone has to work 100%. If a possible new Company want to call me and my phone doesnt work
i will give a feedback soon

Market Issues
Any update on the market force closing?? It closer after the market has been open for about 15 seconds
OMGB 1.2.2:
When I receive a call it takes forever until the screen is lit so I can see who is calling
Running Google Navigation the GPS looses lock after 10 minutes, have to restart application to get it lock again for about 10 more minutes.
Some applications are reported as not compatible with the phone, the cannot be installed from Titanium backup or from market although they should work fine. For example Noom, Handelsbanken, STHLM Traveling.

I think there are some permissions that need to be written in some scripts so you can see all the app. Please tell me what apps you can't download from the market

well the problem with the calling...at me it takes 0.5 second for the phone to lite up the screen and see who is calling [setcup @ 176 min and 691 max]
Will keep you updated with google navigation...as for the apps i haven't found them on the market...try to download them and install from the SD card
PS: i don't use titanium backup but i noticed that some users have problems with the app

0.5 seconds is almost ahead of time when being used to Hero...
For me it takes at least 10 seconds before the display is lit, very annoying. I am using SetCPU 352/614.
Nom is here for instance https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wsl.noom&feature=search_result
STHLM Traveling is here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.markupartist.sthlmtraveling&feature=search_result
Both shows as not compatible with HTC Hero in Android market on the web too. But worked fine in Elelinux 7.3 v3.2 GB-ROM.
Is there some way to see exactly why they are not compatible?

Ok...google maps has the same problem...you got to search them on google as STHLM.apk download ; and you install them from the SD card, that is the sollution.
Ele mad a thing and tweaked something in a script and the market works with everything...but it's not so hard to google an app and put it on your sd card
and i recommend flashing the ROM again...maybe there is a problem, i still use the 1.2 version, kind of lazy to update))), ohh and set SetCpu with 691 max and 176 min and tell me if you still have the problem with the answering
Keep me in touch of you manage to resolve the problem,
Stefan
Using OMFGB 1.3.1-r1 the market installation problems are gone, perfect!

Nope, I just got a call and the caller showed up as expected so that one seems to be fixed too. Now running smartass/691/352.
