HTC Legend

[Jayish]

Did it freeze while running some apps? Are you using Froyo "Move to SD" for your apps?

super lag - freeze kinda. Read the tips by warcraft_cph. Personally, I attempted hard reset after the upgrade. and it changes everything. again. lol.

Heyz bro,
I'm using official CM 6.1 now. I have tried official froyo ROM but to me CM is still way faster and much more optimized (in terms of memory usage). I don't use FM radio so I don't see a need for me to go back to official froyo ROM. If you are like me, stick with CM better, notification power widget and other customization is a sure win for me

Another thing which I have mentioned before, Angry Birds performance is much much much better in CM 6.1

Oh, i have tried the official CM 6.1, but went back to Cyanogen Nightly Build V90


I have not tried the official HTC froyo, will not try it too...That's because i know that once i OTA to official Froyo, my operating system will be unrooted, so i see no point go to official one


Thanks for notifying me such important message, you have saved me

After Froyo upgrade, things seems to be faster.
To ensure good setup:
1) Backup your data.
2) Hard reset phone to factory default.
3) Re-configure phone settings.
4) Restore data (from step 1).
5) Do not use 'Live wallpaper' (resource hungry).
6) Do not use 'Task Killer'.
(read somewhere that from v2.1 and onwards, 'Task killer' became ineffective. Only use it for poorly written apps. If possible, uninstall and do not use the poorly written apps & 'Task killer').
7) Try not to use 'App2SD'
Read/write speed to internal memory is much faster than External memory.
8) Only use Froyo compatible apps.
9) Reduce apps' update frequency.
E.g. change from 15mins to 60mins.
10) Press Menu, Settings -> Display -> Animation. Change it to 'some animations' or 'no animations'.
11) Reduce the usage of 'widgets'. Because 'widgets' needs to update themselves from time to time. Usage of 'shortcuts' should be okay.
12) Try not to use interface overlays. 'HTC sense' by itself took up some resources. If you use other overlays (E.g. Iphone, Windows7). Availability of resources will be affected.


Hope these helps.

No problem bro, btw what's the difference between v90 nightly and 6.1 official? Nowadays I'm quite lazy changing ROMs

Oh btw you don't need to update OTA to get official froyo ROM, just flashed rooted official version will do (many can be found in XDA)

i can't run the Google Goggles application on my rooted HTC Legend. They mentioned something about IPV6 thingy. Please help me please, thanks!

That time when i using 6.1 Official, i felt the operating system not as good as the Nightly Build type....I really cannot remember the difference already, really can't help you...I think the main difference is that 6.1 Official may not have that much function than the Nightly Build


Oh, thanks for telling me that there are rooted official Froyo ROM in XDA, really appreciate it. I'll try to find it, then flash it


Btw, just to inform you that i'm back to stock 600Mhz CPU speed. Though the overall speed is slower than my previous overclocked 825Mhz, i still find that 600Mhz speed still suck battery juice quite a lot though

Please remember to backup your data before hard resetting.

2 methods to reset data.

Resetting the phone through settings:
1) On the Home screen, press "Menu", Tap "Settings" > " SD & phone storage > "Factory data reset".
2) On the Factory data reset screen, tap "Reset phone".

Resetting the phone using phone buttons:
1) With the phone turned off, press and hold the "VOLUME DOWN" button, and then briefly press the "POWER" button.
2) Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the "VOLUME DOWN" button.
3) Press "VOLUME DOWN" to select "Clear Storage", and then press "POWER" button.
4) When asked to confirm, press "VOLUME UP".

Thanks for the info... BTW are both types of hard reset give the same result? any diff of using either one of them?

Presuming that you have a desktop in office which is always switched on.
To save on cost, perhaps just get a 'micro usb cable' to charge your phone.
Don't have to buy a charger set.

The 'micro usb cable' should be easily available in SLS and some phone shops.

ok thanks!

Hi all just wanna ask did the new system update took away the lock screen?as in i am unable to put my own pictures as the phone lock screen anymore.Before the update i was able to.

 

[zj6167]

The 1st method is called soft reset. It can be done when you are still able to access the menu, settings and such.

The 2nd method is called hard reset. Usually done when phone acting weird and unable to startup properly.

Both types of reset perform the same thing.

Understand... Thanks...
