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!

please lock/delete

please delete or lock this thread. it doesnt make sense anymore.

the biggest problem i had with the XXJPM was the battery drain so i switched to XWJPF which i think is a recent release but i am not so sure. i did not have any issues with the GPS but the sound lag was there when the screen is on sleep mode.
i installed the fugumod kernel and set the minimum core speed to 333 so it does not fall below that. and never had any sound issues and sound was great too. u can also set the core to performance (OC 800 kernel version and the speed stays at 800 all the time) but that will drain your battery in no time. just my experience
i tried kyrillos and its an awesome ROM, the only con was that i could not change themes. i am yet to try the INDROID but as always i dont like a lot of apps in any custom ROM so i remove them. kyrillos only had a few but looks like indroid has a whole load of em
i'd like to see someone build a rom with the
original theme (but able to install themes)
basic apps
newer market
newer map app
deodexed
a2sd
lagfree
CWM recovery
5 lockscreen mod
and all the function that comes with building a custom rom
the rest can be achieved with a custom kernel i guess
this would be awesome!!!!
p.s. the dev's at xda are doing an awesome job keeping us happy, they deserve a lot more than thank you's and i believe we are here today coz the devs here are doing something extraodinary thant the devs at samsung.
you guys are the best of the best.

hmm, interesting, a found a lot of people have trouble about clicking sound when making conversation. OC is ok, but.. why do that, processor itself will work how it must, i mean, if overclock it will drain too much battery, if underclock it will be slow. i only expirienced delay problem when receiving incoming call, it's a little bit slow, but else is ok.
today i got official upgrade for my galaxy 3. it was jp9, 2.2, not 2.2.1. i have problems now with back button when in contacts and when unlocking the phone. i have to press back or menu key few times to turn on the screen, but home key works fine. strange thing.. why they put bugged version of froyo to official update over kies..

:O ok now thats so strange, i flashed XXJPM the first time around and configured everything background syncing hsdpa gps and so on... battery went down within 16 hours of use :O but well i shouldnt complain.. have in so much power in a 4" device and here i am complaining... stupid me.

I agree with Clarkkov..I too have been using XXJPM for about 2 months now & there are no problems..the battery life is great..I easily get 3 days usage on a full charge. The 2 small issues I saw are:
1. Camera app. sometimes crashes.
2. Back button does not work in Contacts app., you have to click Home button to close it.
Does XXJPN resolve these issues..?

I thought this was interesting...
So I turned on my phone...

JPM. Did you remember to do a factory reset?

The camera thing is a known issue (there is also a fixed camera.apk without that problem in the apps section). It has to do with gps/location as it tries to geotag the pictures you take.
I also can't confirm the back-buttons issue. I've been running XXJPM for a while and back button works just fine! Try a wipe (or at least clear cache) and see if that makes a difference...

Are you using Launcher Pro?
If yes kill the Contacts app ,and add again the shortcut in your launcher by long-pressing the icon.
Now when you open the app it must work normally.

Onecosmics's ICS RC1 is out

h***s://twitter.com/#!/Onecosmic
everything works except FM RADIO,and cant charge phone when its off
give it a try and u wont regret

its little faster than teamhacksung's one but teamhacksung's one has better ram management

i cant put links here bcs of the rules of xda but if u look in the developpement section u can find both onecosmic's and teamhacksung's ICS ROMS

how much ram does it uses?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

this is a proper rom
Running it now for 2 days and i can only say good things about this rom

Imho the sgs just doesnt have enough ram for ics. not even for gb sometimes ;(

Is it really worth the switch from cm7.1?

It is excellent
Finally decided to give this a go, since I'm on leave and have the time to mess around with my phone. I am so not sorry, this ROM flies compared to the previous gingerbread rom I had. Not only that but ICS is so much nicer than GB.
As soon as wifi tethering is working properly this rom will be perfect for me.

You have to find it our for yourself, for me its a lot better, ICS is just beatiful, and the feel of the phone really improves with onecosmic's port, give it a go, you can always do a nandroid backup and go back to CM 7.1

Onecosmic's ICS RC1 - Areas for improvements
Haven't read through the entire forum but these are areas for improvements i noted:
~image editor: face glow and face tan not working (FC)
~messaging: attachment > capture video not working
~video app: silly effects not working (FC)
~contacts: can not sync facebook and yahoo contacts
~camera: number of features from gingerbread are missing (but panorama is better)
~display brightness: not properly tuned brightness steps
~applications: taptap revenge 4 = runs but homescreen is oversize and actual game display is 25% of the screen and not playable ("viewport argument value "0" for key "use-scalable" was truncated to its numeric prefix", etc.). Not sure if this is ICS config related bug or application compatability issue.
~missing usb connectivity opiton
~missing voice recorder
~missing FM applications
Please provided here the links for any existing fixes of the above. thanks

Yup .. Same problem here.
It seems we can import contacts from sim card really, but we can't make a new one to save on sim card.
I believe its just a minor bug which will be solved in next updates.
There are more bugs, but again ... I'll wait for next update before start complaining :

Nice...cant wait to test it.

Comments about RO Acudroid V3 ICS Themed - 21/02/12 on Super Smooth Android 2.3.6 JQ9

Being a noob I am not allowed to post on the development forums...........
last night I upped my Galaxy Tab (Thai ROM) to Gengerbread 2.3.6 and Acudroid V3 ICS Themed.
1st I would like to comment about the instructions and the process:
My Tab is an important work tool for me - and I was a bit worried about bricking it and taking days to recover... BUT - I followed the instructions of Acubens - and where pointed to teamovercome.net kept following their instructions to the letter, and happily after a couple of hours my Tab was running 2.3.3 with teamover's ROM and later 2.3.6 with the Acudroid V3 ROM.
Restoring apps + data was fast and easy using Titanium and very soon I had my phone up and running just like I want it
As far as I can tell so far - seems everything is working fine - phone calls, sms, camera, email, GPS, wifi, GPRS, sounds and notofocations. As I didn't see and speed improvement I downloaded and installed no-frills CPU and overclocked the CPU to 1.2GHz - and now the Tab is FLYING.......
Now that I've done the up and ROM change - I hope to see more new ROMs for the TAB

So far 2 small issues I came accross -
1. Some notification sounds are not right - i had chrome2phone app and instead of just a short bip like it used to be - it was a non stop bipping for about 15 minutes. I removed the app and try to re-install only I can install it now for some reson. I installed for now the "browser 2 droid" instead, but the notification sound is the same 15 minutes non stop bipping...
Don't get sound notifications for "what's up", and on Gtasks. Probably some other apps that I didn't notice so far.
2. On some of the menus the text under the icons is white over white so can't see it before actually pressing it...
as for battery life - seems a shorter than the stock ROM I used before, but that might be becuase I play with the phone a bit more now...

Hi,
To reduce the issues i only make wipe versions from now on, and nowipe will not be available. I know it is some work but see it this way i have a lot of work to make the rom available, so all i ask from you if you like to use the rom to make an backup and flash a wipe version and it is worth the trouble i think.

Hi, i will look into the sound problem you have, maybe those apps uses the default sound scheme of gingerbread and i have change that, so can you tell which sound they use of the system? And can you not change the settings in that app to use other sounds?

If i have an update for your sound issue i will let you know..

Hi,
Sorry but no, i included a app called quickboot, this app shutdown or reboot your tab much faster, and you do not have to use a mechanical button that can be outworn if you use it much.

I looked for a solution and seems there is none... many users complain about the notification sound, some also mention it lasts forever (like mine...), but no 1 mention what version of Android they are using http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=239 . It worked fine on froyo - short sound and thats it. so probably some changes between froyo and GB cuases the problem. Only way to stop the sound is by forceclosing the app

WIFI
It seems I have a problem with the WIFI scanning. It only scans when I reconnect the WIFI. If I go out of the WIFI area the tab goes on EDGE as should be, but when coming into a WIFI area it wont show it nor connect to it unless I stop WIFI service and start again. Didn't have this problem on V3... Anyone else got this problem? any solution?

Hi,
Wifi scanning is set for 180 seconds to save battery, if you like to change that you can install rootexplorer and change settings in build.prop or delete the complete line and save it.

Changed it to 45 - hope it fixed the probel (will see next time I leave the office).
For the benefit of other noob's (it took me a while to find out how to do it...) here's how I managed the change step by step:
1. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Write / Run
2. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwrwrw
3. Used Astro to open the file (long press, select open as / text << select astro's text editor), located the line I wanted to change [wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180], changed the value, saved
4. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwr-r-
5. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Only / Run
6. Reboot system
Careful not to change something you are not sure about as you might brick the phone....

use ES File Explorer.
Just make sure you go to its setting, Root Option and enable its Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Then you can browse to "Favourite" and select the "/"
and go to systems and edit the build.prop using its own internal ES Edit note, and it even make a backup of the original file for you.
A lot less step than what you needed to do there.

Bugs/Suggestions of Samsung official Jellybean [XXLSJ]

Hello. Well have this last update for our devices official from samsung. And I thought on helping samsung perfecting it. So in order to so that I think we should make this thread where we all together say wich are the bugs we found. I find already 2 bugs on the email app wich leads to a lot of wakeup calls, makes the phone use alot cpu and force closes when we touch on priority mail. There are other bugs wich people found here so I think we should list them.
Rules are simple, if you find a bug, report here and say how to replicate it. We together see it, and list here to report to samsung. Also suggestions to make things better. (of bugs or things you think that could be better) ​
Since they give us a ROM. At least a perfect well done one. What do you think? They need happy costumers. Or well go elsewhere.
Ps: if you can leave logcat, I'll leave on the email all log cats attached to each bug
List of bugs:
The Email app crashes when the general options, and priority email sections are accessed.
Buggy Microsoft Exchange integration. It seems to use an excessive amount of resources causing battery drain. This problem only seems to exist within the default Email app.
Smart stay not working properly.
Samsung keyboard's gesture typing is unable to properly detect and type the whole word.
Swype Keyboard won't automatically insert a space (I don't think this is a bug due to the text field being an address bar)
Sometimes, lock screen is unresponsive.
In the app drawer, when the apps are sorted alphabetically, then as downloaded apps it crashes Touchwiz Home.
In Car Mode, TalkBack is not functioning and is very unresponsive.
Google Maps and Samsung Push Services uses an excessive amount of battery when it is not used.
Throughout the OS, there are issues with stuttering and lack of responsiveness.
Wi-Fi connection often freezes after deep sleep of around 10 - 15 minutes ("Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Always"). Wi-Fi notification icon shows that it's connected, but no data can be sent or received. (Only solution found so far is to manually disconnect and reconnect.)
In the camera, there is a reddish blemish on the center when the camera is used in low-light situations(I believe this is a hardware issue.)
Project Butter seems to be improperly implemented.
Unable to use the handwriting function on the Samsung Keyboard because it force closes.
Nasty color banding
After reboot , changes made in launcher menu will go back to how it was in begining (for example Folders created, disapear, or just the apps inside it, will be offside)
Suggestions list:
Music Controls (most members suggest this)
Lock screen more costumizable with possibility of more than three icons, something new I found ugly the way we unlucky the screen. (votes?)
Quick reply as cm has (i find this really useful, votes?)
Option to set if we want zoom in or zoom out option in the rear of the phone while browsing
in powermore , on the browser, instead of blue, an option to keep the white.
More sms before converting to mms, or if possible a manual option for that.

Lockscreen sometimes unresponsive, and the hand writing (?

Good idea!
Indeed, the dark grey notification bar seems not right.
Also, the lock screen doesn't always work...and music controls aren't there yet.
The screen stays on when you leave it on the table..it sometimes registers a face when it's not there.

This is not a bug. Use better battery stats to see what problem you have. I was able to get 6 hours of scree, time with standard battery
