[REQ] Legend to Slide Froyo AND sense?

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?

Nope, all you need to do is a wipe before installing it so you dont get any weird errors

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.

CM7 TV Tube Animation

I tried searching and I even searched google but could not come up with anything good. I recently rooted my phone and am now running FR008, like many of you I am waiting for a stable CM7 mod until then I'll stick with my froyo. However, I know someone who is running CM7 and I noticed the TV Tube animation when locking your phone.
Is it possible to get just the animation somehow?
BTW great forum, I learn new stuff everyday and if it wasn't for you guys I would have never rooted my phone.

Or just switch to CM7...as of right now, i.e. with the current build, there isn't anything that ISN'T "stable" about it...to put it bluntly, you're going to spend a lot of time trying to accomplish this when you could spend less than half that time just flashing the latest nightly of cm7 and leaving it at that...don't even have to worry about the following nightlies until an RC or stable release...that's what i would do if i were you...

Sorry, just quoting for this golden phrase, lol.
And go ahead, flash CM7, is pretty awesome and stable.

Lol why was that a golden phrase?
I read a couple threads about some people having problems that's why I'm scared to try it.

make sure you follow the directions posted in the thread otherwise you'll have problems...before you do it, i'd suggest getting "my backup root" to back up apps, sms, settings, all that...

I purchased titanium pro will that work?

Do exactly as is instructed and you won't have any issues. TBH I don't know why the nightlies aren't RC ready.

I'm really enjoying CM7 but have one question. How does the uprading work?
Cyanogen comes out with nightly updates, do I need to keep updating?
Everytime I upgrade do I need to format and install the new rom?

You just need to wipe cache and dalvik cache then install the nightly builds. There's links to the builds in the CM7 topic

will it overwrite my previous cm7 nightly setting and apps and stuff?

You'll keep your settings and apparently as long as you don't wipe data. It will just update your current rom

[Q] Cons of installing Roms

Specifically Ice Glacier and CM6 and 7.
I know the Pros but I searched all over the place and can't find some Cons. I know CM6 doesn't allow access to front facing camera. Is this true for 7 and Ice Glacier?
What other things might not work?
TIA
P.S. I am rooted. I just don't have the guts to Flash a rom yet.

I am running cm7 nightly #37 I think and the only thing that I am noticing is that my ringtones dont stick after I do a reboot. Other than that I use Tango and the front facing cam does work. I dont see any other things that are not working. I have been running this only for a couple days and maybe not seeing other things not working. All in all the rom is fast and I am loving some gingerbread!! Do a nandroid backup so you can always go back if you want.

There are zero cons to installing ROMs. CM7 is just fantastic.

Froyo vs Gingerbread, I think, but don't quote that as I don't run a CM ROM.
With any ROM you will roll the dice on what will/won't work for you. I have had absolutely zero issues using the Ice Glacier ROM in my sig. However, if you read recent posts in the thread for it, some people still experience issues with things like WiFi, slowdowns, battery drain, etc. Not all silicone is created equal. Just backup your current stuff and flash something to see how it works on your phone. Doesn't run well, has some issues? Pick a new ROM or restore backup.

cm 7 is based on Gingerbread -- Android 2.3. Numerous changes, Google for them.
Big con to any ROM...bricked phone through user error, user stupidity, user ignorance... Take your pick. The risk is low but it exists. Manage and mitigate it through careful study and a firm grasp of the procedures to be used.

Thanks for the info. I agree about doing the research before anything. That's why I haven't flashed any roms yet. I still need to do some more research.

It is extremely difficult to permanently brick your phone. The only way I know how to do it is to flash the wrong kind of radio, which you normally don't even have to worry about flashing.

Let's see... there's a thread in this very subforum where someone damaged the partition table of their internal flash drive, and lost /system, and could find no way to recover:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952272
The root cause may have been from pulling the battery at an inopportune moment, and the OP gave up before exhausting all options, but the phone is logically bricked.

Hardly any unless you're not careful with instructions. CM7 RC1 is fantastic.

Does anyone see problems with 4G coverage with a newer rom, or is HSDPA not a concern?

The stock ROM and those based on it do not differentiate between 3G and any faster network. All are indicated with an "H". CM displays UMTS as "3G".
HTC Glacier CM7 41

Only cons are you void your warranty and you could screw something up if you aren't careful. Playing around in non-userspace is only for the well-informed.
Arguably, you could consider it a con that your ROM isn't officially signed by the manufacturer/carrier and that it's not "official," but I don't see it that way. A good dev team like Cyanogen's is probably just as good, if not better, and they can roll out updates much much faster. Nightly, in fact

FWIW, I was one of the few who did experience problems when flashing (CM7 in my case). Each time I flashed, I would lose more and more functionality on the physical buttons on the front of the camera.
- First flash, "back" starts acting flaky (doesn't work sometimes, sometimes requires long-press to work).
- Second flash (to try to fix the problem), back button no longer works, "menu" is now flaky.
- Third flash, menu is gone. Somewhere in there the genius button also stopped working.
ClockworkMod Recovery's key test showed that the system wasn't even seeing the keypresses. Sounds like a hardware problem, I know, but the changes noted occurred only when I flashed. Also, when I reflashed with the stock MT4G ROM, I got the menu button back (but not the back button).
All that said, a) I searched high and low and couldn't find any reports of anything similar, and b) TMo switched the phone out with a new one with no questions asked.

It's not all user error, and it's not all hardware. It's a combination, and like others have said you have to try it out to see. If you read enough threads on this forum, you will find negatives about everything. Do the research so you know what not to do, and the rest is up to trial and error. The variables around which people judge ROMs are so complex that the vast majority of information is opinion. Just make sure you give any ROM a couple of days before you really form your own.

Biggest cons for me when I first started flashing ROMs on my old MT3G was that sometimes stuff wouldn't work. Wifi issues or GPS might be buggy or battery drain. 9/10 issues can be fixed with a reboot or just wait for the next nightly to arrive.
I love flashing ROMs. I'm on CM7 RC1 and before that was Nightly #35. I had my MT4G for 7hrs before it was rooted and CM7 on it.
You're already rooted and most of the time thats when people break their ****. So get Clockwork Mod and Nand backup, flash and rock out!!!!!!

Most of the "danger" is in the actual rooting process, flashing ROMs and mods can at most cause an inconvenience.
Any time the radio firmware or hboot (bootloader) is flashed or modified, that is where the danger of a true bricked device that can not be fixed occurs.

I hope that I am posting in the right place, I am rooted(Yeah) I flashed CM7 RC1 but at the moment, I like my stock ROM without all the bloat ware, my problem is this, How do I go from CM7 RC1 Gingerbread back to Froyo ? I did a back up before flashing CM7 RC1 but when I attempted to restore, my phone froze...Any suggestions or Ideas, anyone else have this problem ? Thank you in advance for your help....XDA Rocks and thanks to all the DEVS who put such great effort in getting these great ROMS out to us....

Use a 2.x version of CWM to flash a Froyo ROM.

[Q] The elusive MT4G doubleshot rom

I have downloaded the following rom: PG59IMG_Doubleshot_TMOUS_1.28.531.8_Radio_10.48.9007.00U_10.12.9007.07_M2_release_201296_signed.zip
which I believe is the official TMOUS rom for the doubleshot. will it work on the MT4G? I am hesitant to install it as I don't want to screw my phone up to the point where I brick it, can anyone provide some guidance as to if you have tried it, if so, what were the results, thanks in advance.

Under no circumstances should you flash it on to your phone. It has an hboot, radio, and rom that are all incompatible with our hardware. Flashing an incorrect hboot or radio makes your phone a brick. If you want to run the doubleshot rom, search google for raftvittos doubleshot port.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Im no dev...but probably not 1) you might brick your device 2) Im pretty sure if it boots youll lose root....just wait for a ďev to cook it up IMHO.

Don't flash it. For the love of god, do not flash it. Unless of course you want a $600 paperweight.

Rom of the week

Hey Buzzers. Today i´d like to start a new concept, its called
"Rom of the week", and it is pretty simple.
I love trying out new roms, and i´m sure you do to. So i´ll test some roms, and then every week i´ll be awarding the best rom the title as Rom of the week.
But you guys, are also allowed to come with your suggestions and discuss which rom is best.
//PetDroid

My favorite rom of this week is..
RemPuzzlerom. This is mainly because of its awesome features, including the new "Beats audio" thing, the fastness. Everything is just so fast and i just love Sense!.
This was a short post, but thats just my opinion. What do you think?

This is a great thread started on my opinion, i guess you will state issues and make comparisons through tested roms. Unfortunately, i don't have time doing this lately to do so, that's a reason i find it nice.

Cyanogenmod
Yup, i also really like CM7. Just dont know why, like sense better

Grate idea . Will save us a lot of time searching for roms and updates.
Can u also provide links to the rom of the week please .
Then if I may cm9 buzz kang rc0 (erwinp and Arco ) I know the rom still have some bugs but it should be listed in my opinion just for the fact that we were told our wildfire not good enough to run ics . This is my daly rom .

Dont get me wrong, but, this thread is useless, there are several other threads like this, such as: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485583
Basically, youre doing the same thing. You could, though, comment on roms in that thread to reduce number of threads on this subforum as its getting bloated with useless threads and we, wildfire veterans, dont like it, just like others who come here to search for useful info.

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to be asking for help, but, did you wipe (using CWM) before flashing the new ROM? That might be the issue here.
Also, back on topic, I'm another vote for Erwin's awesome CM9 builds, if you don't mind the roughness of it.
