im in the same boat .. dont know what to do ..
:/
I was hoping that the thread would help me decide!!
I m gonna flash CM6.1 froyo on HTC will be the same experience but faster. its time for something new
I've already Froyo and do miss CM actually, so I'm going for this one, thats for sure!
why there are no news in cyanogenmod website?
I got the link from cyanogenmod website. It's under the nightlies section. Weird but its there

are there release notes?
also wondering if i should flash this or wait for official htc froyo...?
I'm waiting for official froyo but maybe I should try this rom. But I have some questions before
Does it have FM radio? It'll be possible with released sources from HTC?
And wifi hotspot support?
Is root necessary? Can you unroot once the rom is installed? Altought temporary root can be useful (like sudo in linux), being always root is a big security hole. I'm not sure if many people understant what being root means in linux (and android).

No
Not AP, but Ad-Hoc works using barnacle
Yes, it is.
Rooting is not much more of an issue - you still need to specifically give apps superuser permissions
ok so im downloading 2.05 now. willl update to froyo first.
is rooting froyo easier or will i have to downgrade back to 1.31?
hope visionary+ or Z4root work with froyo. that would be a life saver coz download speeds are slow and expensive in my country :S
Anyone compared performance froyo vs CM6.1?

i didn't understand a thing:
flashing this rom, the kernel change? if yes, is OC?

I had the vodafone froyo rom but I flashed CM6.1 as soon as it came out. (used nightlies before)
And CM6.1 is just that bit snappier. If you don't really worry about that split second diffence (but I do) then you should go for Sense (it's nicer )
But I just like a snappy phone (I should have bought the Desire I know )

Lets see how many of the ppl thats updating to froyo now finally will go for CM6.1
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Yeah, I'm waiting for some feedback. Using MoDaCo's Custom Froyo at the moment. Nothing GREAT, so if CM6.1 is worth it, I will install that.
Let the feedbacks begin!
Just wanted to say that I rooted to Cyanogen before froyo came to the Legend.
All in all I think I prefer it over 2.1 Legend.
It took a few days to get used to and I have missed a few HTC goodies - namely sync and the HTC keyboard (which is suprisingly a mile ahead of the default Android one). But there is a workaround (I've been told) so will give that a try soon.
I'm ever so tempted to give Sense Froyo a go and see what it's like as I don't really have anything to compare it to.
All in all though - I can't really say I've missed Sense too much; I've noticed a few things that stock Android could learn from Sense but on the whole not missed majorly.
If I upgrade to Sense Froyo - can I then root again or am I stuffed?
ta
(oh and rooting was a piece of piss... After I stopped cursing for an hour and realised I needed to downgrade.)

Since the HTC legend recently got Android 2.2 Froyo w/ sense, is there going to be someone to port the rom to the Slide?
I love the functionality of sense but I don't want to have to downgrade to eclair to get it.
So if anybody knows about work being done on that or if someone wants to volunteer, please inform me and anyone else who passes by this thread
Its gonna have the same problems as the 3rd sense rom because we don't have the official 2.2 kernel for mytouch slide! Which means I don't think anyone is going to port it! Check out 3rd sense though its stable enough and is the same sense ui

yep, and actually i think 3rd sense is based on a froyo sense rom for the legend called gratiend so thats your rom right there, at least thats what the credits on the thread say..
I am currently running cyanogen mod 6.1 stable for my slide with clockwork recovery. Do I need to flash/install anything else before flashing this rom?

Okay thanks I will flash it, froyo aside, are there any REALLY good stable sense roms out there? Not espresso roms but original HTC sense? flash would be nice

this one has flash lite as well... and as far i know this is the best sense based rom you can find for the slide go ahead try it and tell us what you think
Oh man it works amazingly, I had to disable javascript for the browser to run alright though. Otherwise it is an amazing rom. I ran into some less than polite stuff when I posted in the thread, but I suppose I am a noob. Thanks for the suggestion.

yeah i just aswered your question there but i see you found it already, it can get a bit frustating for some of the people around here to aswer the same question all the time xD but as my avatar says "be nice or leave"... im glad i could help
Ok I rooted last night and it's much easier than I thought! I'm not savvy with modifying stuff but it went pretty much without a hitch!
I have a few questions that I did search for but I didn't come up with any results that answer them... maybe I didn't word my phrases correctly...
I am using Ava froyo and like it, however cyanogen sounds cool with no sense and all. But I'm reading that it's AOSP. I know that means android open source, but can I still install it?
Also, what's the difference between 6.1 and 6.1 nightly?
Sorry for being such a NOOB but hey... I'ma noob!
Yes you can install it and the difference between 6.1 and 6.1 nightly is he comes out with a nightly every few days or weeks(this is tested by beta testers) that has bug fixes taken care of new features and things that he wasnt able to get to work before like 4G. Hope this helps!
[EDIT] Also if you decide to flash cyanogens rom it will replace the rom you are running which is Ava Froyo. I have also never been a fan of AOSP roms because I love Sense but I am sure they are faster due to the fact that sense is not incorrporated in the ROM. I have also heard that cyanogens is going to have some pretty kick ass features on his next rom like HDMI out unlocked.

So which would you recommend? The most recent nightly? Or do I install the regular one and then the nightly?
Also, I do understand that it will replace Ava froyo. I've been following the noob root guide to the letter! Lol
Thank you Adam
the most recent nightly (12/17) its the best until cm7 starts
nightly link http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?type=nightly&device=supersonic
and don't forget to flash gapps after the rom http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip
if u wanna give a non aosp rom a shot, try mikfroyo 4.1 with netarchy's 4.2.2 kernal...very, very fast and smooth, plus ya got the 4g and hdmi out if that matters to you, you can also flash calkulins remove sense zip
I heard for newer hardware aosp has some camera and 4g issues and etc? correct?

Not a problem. I am also very new to this stuff and have alot of noobish questions. Everyone here (for the most part) are very helpful, so if I can pass it on I will!
Ok I was browsing the forums and saw my post was back up near the top. Just thought I'd update... I am now using the latest Cyanogen with gapps and am absolutely loving it. I can't say it enough, it's just amazing!
It's so customizable, so... excellent!
I'm testing out battery life, which is important to me, and so far it seems to be great!!
I wish I had done this sooner!!

Please bare with me.
I just bought Wildfire White. It's on the way to me. It will have 2.1 pre-installed.
What should I do first?
- I want to have one of these custom ROMs (which one is best?)

I want it to be OC-able. I hear that I need custom kernel for that. Well what do I have to do to get custom kernel.
Is there some guide that will tell me all this?
I would not.reccomend the first one (cm7) since it is not even alpha
if you like htc sense go for the new wildpuzzle not the chinese one
if you dont like sense go for cm6 but make sure to flash the maps and market file as well
note thease files may break your device.rendering it useless. You are responsible for your actions. This will also void your warantee. If you dont want that to happen then use the 2.2 ota but you will not be able to root or flash a custom rom. If in doubt stay on 2.1

lol, Dont scare him.
Well, first and foremost, I would recommend you read this guide completely:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396
After that, when you have rooted your phone, you can decide on the Custom ROM yourself. They are broadly categorized into 2 categories : Sense ROMs and Non-Sense ROM's/ (Sense is the default HTC UI). Then, you have to decide whether you want a Sense ROM or one without it, and, go about it accordingly. (Generally, Non-Sense ROMs are faster, since Sense requires a lot of processing power)
As for CM7, even though it is Alpha, I would recommend you try it out. I am using it as a daily use ROM, and, its perfectly fine.
I'm currently using cm7 night release 0. I think. Its great. There are a few bugs but nothing. That effects the phone at user level.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
cm7 is great!!! the nightlies work perfectly ;D, very good for what you call an 'alpha' release ahahaha, and why stay on eclair or froyo, when you can have some gingerbread action
Still i would rather wait for a beta or rc release
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
CM7 Nightly 0 is almost perfect, pretty much everything works
Its personal taste anyway im stuck whith hboot 1.01 and am now wanting to try cm7 fail on my part
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Would recomend de_version_4.a but then again that's my Rom lol

first of all root your new toy
after that, you should play with your phone till you run-down.

Try CM7 nighty build, i rooted my phone this month itself and the first ROM i ever put was the CM7 ROM and trust me i havent even looked around for other Custom ROMs, its fast, looks very good and all apps work on em..
Cheers, btw dont forget to read Turkey's Guide to Rooting..
OC is not stable，even 4.1.。。
CM7 build 23
so yea i figured out everything im not big fan of alpha roms so ill stick to sense roms for a while. i will surely move on to cyanogen mod later
i'm using cm nightly build 21. working just fine.
there was an issue in 18 but 21 is just fine. i have tried out almost all of roms for wildfire, and i found CM 7 to b the best of all.
No... I'd recommend wildpuzzle v0.8 first to get comfortable with first since it has all the capabilities of overclocking is stable although not recommended to wildly over the 700mhz mark and everything else.
Gingerbread is a big and not stable yet a little complicated to setup.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
i'm loving my wildpuzzle v.08,overclocked and super stable, i like sense too much
Cm 7 is very good I can confirm this. I am using build 16, everything works fine but I found it unstable overclocked over 700 on my wildfire.

Reminder dont update to official 2.2 (Froyo)

i'm not really a noob but noob to the Legend, i used to have Xperia X10 and HTC HD2 and it was easy to root and installing ROMs
now i have this Legendary Legend and i want to root it and install different ROMs i'm currently running 2.2, radio-7.13.35.05, and on the boot it says
LEGEND PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0000
MICROP-0816
TOUCH PANEL-SYN07_0105
i've been reading the stickies foe awhile but i didnt know what is the difference between S-ON and OFF and if 2.2 is rootable or i have to downgrade to 2.1 and if i have to root this HBOOT thing!! actually i'm lost!! one last thing what is the best ROM for Legend? is there 2.3 or CM7 out for it?
P.S. excuse my poor english
why did you post 2 same thread???
maybe it's a forum lagg, and it was like "double posting"
It looks like you're in the same situation I was! Here's how I rooted, in laymans terms.
1. Turned my SD card into a goldcard.
2. Flashed a pre-rooted 2.1 ROM using the stock recovery method.
3. Downloaded CM6.1, placed it on my memory card.
4. Did a little messing around with ROM Manager, ended up doing the stuff I explained in this thread instead which worked just fine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962357
5. Flashed CM6.1 (which was buggy as hell).
6. Downloaded blay0's ROM, placed it on my memory card.
7. Repeated step 4 and flashed blay0's ROM.
Please note that blay0's ROM is 2.2 and not 2.3.
In regards to ROMs, personally I love blay0's b 0.7 ROM, it runs like a dream. It's not too far away from the Sense UI and it isn't buggy as hell for me like CM6.1 is... Haven't tried CM7 yet so I can't say, but TheGrammarFreak (a respected regular here) shows praise for it.
Im in CM7 and is a super ROM

Yes, but the good news is that none of the rom (legit or custom) has it as well.

What about the Lite version of Flash which HTC ship with the Legend? If that's still present I might just switch to CM7.

It isn't.
CM can't legally include it because they don't have a licence to redistribute it, don't want to since they don't have access to the source, and even if they could and wanted to, it probably requires the sense framework, so technically it would still be somewhere between "impossible" and "damn inconvenient".
If you use Rom Manager it can install CM7 its pretty good for me my last rom was b0.5 which was great but im loving CM7 way more
If you really want 2.3 use CM7 - it's still beta but it's very stable and does everything I ask it to do, if you want a stock(ish) 2.2 then Blay0's ROM is sweet.
yep, I would also recommend cm7. and it's only partly true that it has no flash - I downloaded it from applanet and works perfectly fine with embedded youtube videos and ads (although I don't want the latter)
CM7 works great. Why do you need flash lite? I haven't missed it once when I owned an iPhone and I haven't missed it in CM7, nor did I use it with the stock rom. Youtube works anyway and if you must, Skyfire plays most flash videos fine as well.
Hello, I'm new here and I've had my phone (GT540) for about 9 months now and went from 1.6 to 2.1 via the necessary LG update. I recently rooted my phone to uninstall some annoying system applications. I then thought about upgrading my phone, one friends got a Samsung Galaxy Ace and one has a Samsung Galaxy S II with 2.2 and 2.3, so I was wondering whether to upgrade my phone. The main points I'm thinking of are:
Is it easy to brick your phone ('cos I don't want to)
Is it worth it, 2.3 better than 2.1 or worth sticking with 2.1
I was hoping you guys could help me as you all seem pretty experience. Thanks!

Hello my opinion is if you want performance, stability, and all the options working stay with 2.1 or eather a custom 2.1 modified for better performance , which are quite some out there.
2.3 is faster yes , but still buggy and has cyanogenmod seetings (some like it, others can live without it), 2.2 kind of the same thing but a bit less faster.

no skip to 2.3
I've been using cyanogen 7 for a wile now, when I put 2.1 on to test my app it almost made me cry, and I noticed a major speed difference.

I noticed the same thing when i used Mur4ik's CM 7 for GT540 , it was quick , but there are flaws , seriously , who wants flash to run on a small device ? That's gonna chew up batteries quickly .
Simply put , i love the OS , video playback a little flawed though , view 3 or so times of videos and i have to reboot the phone . ( v1.3 )
Thanks for your opinions, I think I'll go to 2.33 but then I heard somewhere you can downgrade it to LG 2.1.

Thanks, I'm now running 2.3 Joestone!
i love cyanogenmod 7 its great but sometime it reboot so, good things have some bugs also ......i think u should try cm7 its great work of developers.
I'll give Cyano 7 a run, but from what I've seen, my ROM will be Joestone's
I don't like the memory problems in the CM7
I tried every version from 1.6 to 2.3.4, (i actually flash my phone once a week), and it's to early to say, but i think Mur4ik's 2.0 M5 is really far better then any else version.
Its really fast, for now no FCs, no unexpected shut downs, no lags, and battery is on 60%, and it's 2d3h on battery!

CM7 is pretty slick and cool but I still prefer the stock looks over CM7. I really wish someone would put together a MoDaCo custom ROM style 2.2/2.3 ROM for GT540.
MoDaCo custom ROM is a ROM that has no visual modifications from stock but has several performance mods and hacks and an optimized kernel.
