[q]Porting Froyo from Wildfire to Legend??

Is it possible to port Froyo From HTC Wildfire to HTC Legend, since they have similar hardware structure?? Yesterday leaked RUU Froyo rom from Wildfire, and today is rooted and everything, so I'm postin here the link to rooted version, and I hope that this maybe help devs to port froyo rom with htc sens to legend, since many users are waiting to such rom .

Froyo is allready ported on Legend ...

Possible? Yes.
Worth-while? I don't think so.
With old Legend's kernel it could work but with Wildfire's new one I doubt. Processor is different, touch-screen too (resolution).
Grafx porting is trivial but would be painfully long-lasting...
Will take a quick look at it...

I dn't see the interest to port the HTC Wildfire Rom to legend ?! ...

Ohw thanks for blessing me with that... I've been using Azure for mor than a month so it is not new to me. But some people really prefer Sense, I'm not one of them, I've just pointed out that there maybe is a possibility of porting it to legend, since HTC update service is very useless to legend.
@Blayo
Ohw I see now that resolution really is different, I wasn't paying attention on that .

hummm Sorry I misunderstood =)

I think that´s a great idea.
I am using now Azure 1.0.1 and work´s really fast but i prefer sense.

I have ported it.. 1. Problem: need to fix touchpad to get it working.. booting is fine.. 2. Need to see if resolution can be fixed..

Great I'm sure some dev could help you with this problems. Maybe you can get some helpfull stuff out of Azure rom, sinced it is based on froyo, or ask Ali Ba for some advice. Good luck fixing it!

So far so good! Is it confirmed if the ROM has JIT and all other Froyo goodness enabled?

Great new.
Can´t wait to test it.
Thanks whitetigerdk!!!

About resoultion, I guess changing LCD density in build.prop wouldn't help? Default value for legend is 160.

Only what the thread for Wildfire says.. about the port it can't be tested since the touchpad doesn't work..

I'm pretty sure the touchscreen will never work, as you have to apply patches to the source code before it is compiled for it to work on the legend :/

Grab a Legend's 2.6.29 kernel from your 2.03.405.3 ROM. You have nothing to loose.
Android powah!

Patch the kernel or some android stuff?

Someone with the knowledge should add the kyosa touchscreen patches to get this working. Would be great.
If a rom leaked to the wildfire I hope they will leak one for the legend too. Would be a treat.

The wildfire has already came out with froyo in china,then the RUU leaked. There is no official froyo rom from htc, so it is hard to believe it will leaked.

If they are not preparing one, there's nothing to be leaked.

Some time ago I read a news about htc legend in china, and it also should come out with froyo, am I wrong?

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.

Nevermind going to flash tomorrow

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.

Okay thanks

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
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App

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

Fission rom manager question.

Idk if this is a dumd question, but I have fission rom manager lite installed on my phone, n I was reading another forum n it said I can donate and ill get a link to the full version. Does anybodu know the difference between lite and full version? Also how do I donate to get the full one?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Angdroid had released a newer version in the ROM manager that had one small fix. Otherwise, there's not much of a difference if I remember correctly. Honestly though, Fission development is done (developer moved on). I would choose a different ROM if I were you. Liberty, Apex, or even the fresh CM7 that cvpcs is working on are all GB-based and have more promise than Fission does in its current state.

Ooooooooo, ok lol thanx ill deff check one of those out
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Where can i find info on iincluding a dl for apex? Ive seen people mention it in some forums but i havent seen it available for dl, idk mabye i just missed the post. Also which rom is the best in ur opinion? Theres not really alot of roms too choose from with the dx is there? Lol i used to have a hd2 runnin android, i really miss all the htc sense stuff...i wish there was a sense like rom

First, before you can root you need to find out if it's possible right now for you. Go to settings>about phone>software information> if it says 2.3.3 under android version you cannot root right now because with Ginger Bread update root is not possible until the devs find a new exploit.

Shiftdeck 1.2x rom with the latest AOSP x99 kernel. If you can root the phone, there is a simple couple clicks solution posted in the developer forum.

+1 first check if you can root. If you can, make sure you read, read, read, and read. Before you do anything. As far as Roms, well that's all up to preference. Do you want Sense? Do you want Miui? Might want to try a few and see what you like. Once you get comfortable flashing.

Thanks for the feedback i. I've been researching around rooting and lppking at roms. Looks, I have a temp root for now and once I get a full root I'm going to get the mikshift rom because of sense 3.0 features. Thanks again ! Going to have trouble rooting adb first time doing it >.<

I can't stand Sense myself, so Cyanogenmod is pretty much the only rom for me lol.

Hey people! I purchased my Defy from someone on craigslist. The model is mb525 and I think its already rooted because it has the super user app already on it. I would like to update my defy to the latest problem free rom for daily usage but I really don't know what's done to it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

That's a very basic question, so I would suggest searching and reading, reading, reading.
Moved to Q&A. Please post all questions there.

Find out if it's green or red lens defy.
Find out what kernel it currently runs and what version of Android.
You can try CM7 for installation and you can move along with new ROMS as and when you get experience. PM me if you need help.

You have to read man, and be very careful wich ROM will u flash. Read this Post, it is very useful http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537

Naa...you don`t have tor read that much. It is pretty simple:
1. Check if you have bootmenu already installed (reboot; led should turn blue after a few seconds while moto logo is displayed). If not, just install it.
2. Find out what lens does your defy have (red/green) and what kernel is it using - as premaca has already mentioned. Settings>About Phone> Kernel Version. If it ends up in (...droid)07, 12 or 50 it is froyo kernel. If not it is GB kernel.
3. Decide what rom you want (cm10/9/7, MIUI...etc. Most of them work very good) I can`t help you here. It`s all about your taste. (I consider that cm7 is the most stable and powerful rom at this moment but just by a small margin.)
4. Follow installation guide for each ROM according to what lens you have (red/green). (I am pretty sure each developer described how to install his ROM)
Good luck!
