Legendary Vogue Build, Nand added

HTC Legend build for the Vogue
As always, I take no responsibility for what this may or may not do to your phone. Do it at your own risk. This Build Overclocks your phone to 500, we've found that to be the fastest and most stable, however it may overheat and kill your cpu.
INSTRUCTIONS- YOU MUST FOLLOW!
Start by installing the androidinstall.tar to your sd or img file, (not nand)
Boot and wait a long time, there is no boot animation at all so the screen is blank., go through the setup.
After you've gotten rosie to load the first time, reboot and install the update.tar
This is going to set your lowmemoryparameters (androids build in taskkilller) to some very aggressive settings, as well it overclocks to 500. (I don't love it but it's the only way to run this rom nicely). Also the userinit sets compache with 96MB.
On reboot the phone/ril seems to be the last thing to kick in. (that or it just takes the png a bit to update) Don't worry about it, just be patient and it will enable your radio and connect.
For best results
Use system on sdcard partition, data on nand put a swap parition on your sdcard and edit the userinit.conf to use the swap parition as backing for compache. (this is how I'm running this build and it's good)
What doesn't work;
Bluetooth
Camera
What's cool;
The friend feed is actually cool
Hold the camera button for 2 seconds to view all the rosie screens.
Youtube works
Try something in flash, some works, some doesn't..
Notes
I don't expect to put alot of time into updating and tweaking this build as it is not my primary build that I work with. It is very hard to make 200MB nandable, but I may work on it in the future.
Tweaking;
If you want to play with the memory settings or the overclock just adjust the /system/bin/clock.sh or the /system/sysinit in the androidupdate.tar and re update.
Put your system on SDCARD partition, but put your data on nand. There's definitly a performance increase there.
New Version 03-20
Added LWP if using non rosie launcher
More speed tweaks.
Added HelixLauncher as a good alternative to rosie, to use clear defaults in settings -> manage applications -> HTC Sense. Than hold the cam button for 2 seconds to select different home app.
Next version
More space on /data
More speed tweaks

I have Darch's Legend on my Hero and LOVE it. Im tryin this on my son's vouge now!
edit...does it have the cool weather home screen animations?
Yes it does!!

Ahh ive recently switched back to windows mobile for speed and stability reasons..
but your builds and your reputation is the driving force for me to try this one.
Ill chime in on what i think.

screenshots?

It looks a little better than every other legend build.. lol seriously just google htc legend it looks the same as whatever pics and videos you'll see Except of course it's that tiny tiny bit blurry that everyone complains about with 320x480 on the vogue

k I've got a build done that should be fully nandable. but to be completely honest I don't really feel like wiping/testing today. I'll give it a shot this weekend and post if it works.
Otherwise the next update will include the ability to use livewallpapers (if your using a launcher other than rosie). and some other speed tweaks.

This is a nice build to play with it has the apps i need in the market I hope somebody can help speed it up

nand added.
Read first post.

is it possible to use it on polaris? not sure if the overclocking would suit the polaris

yeah sure, just open the update tar and in /system/bin delete the clock.sh file.

I would like to run this from ext2 partitions with Haret. Could someone please describe what partitions I should put on my sd card? (I know HOW to partition, just need some guidance as to sizes needed, especially if putting on a Linux swap.) Also, please describe what options to select on booting the first time. Running from Haret, do I really install data to NAND?! And, if so, without unlocking and flashing? Mssmison also mentions editing the userinit.conf, if using a swap partition. Please tell me which values need to be edited.
I am used to NoMoRootfs and the old sqsh running from Haret.
TIA.

Me too. I tried to install the latest 3/20 nand builds into my sd, but failed. I will try the 3/29 builds

Can anyone tell me how fast this build runs?
I had the old SenseHero build from Jamezelle, but most of the time when the phone rang my phone was too slow to pick it up, and I missed the call.
I hope this one is faster

Deodex
Theres a way to make this build smaller
Deodex apps. This build has 21.8MB of .odex files.

It's not atleast on my tilt its probably the worst sense build I have run yet props to mssmison on getting it ported though. Good job, it looks good but way too slow for me to run even on nand. back to playing with the other sense build on SDcard ext2 img, for some reason I cannot get any build installed to partitions I have tried with both cards

[Dec 21][APP]PS3DJB v2.5.1 Supports Eng, Ger, Nor, Esp & Fr

Hello everyone,
Here is my app i have been working on. It will install all files to your sd card needed to jailbreak and downgrade your ps3 with your HD2 Only. Now i have some time think this link is long overdue to be posted. Where this app originated from. Again thank you to all the other devs out there for there hard work that has now become a all in one solution.
What the app does:
This app will allow you to downgrade your firmware to any firmware you want. (PS3 Slim's cannot go as far back as Fat Consoles.) The downgrade only works with FW's up to 3.50. (If you have FW3.55 you are out of luck for now. Unfortunately there is no solution on the market nor in the community for that FW version.) This app will also allow you to patch your android build with all the files needed to jailbreak your ps3.(this will be changed real soon.) It also includes many payloads so u can use the one that best matches your needs.
Other Languages:
German version Located here I have also translated the first post in German as well. Enjoy
Norwegian version Located here I have also translated the first post in Norwegian as well. Enjoy
Spanish version Located here. It is compatible with Esp Rom's storage cards. I have also translated the first post in Spanish as well. Enjoy
French version Located here. It is compatible with Fr Rom's storage cards. I have also translated the first post in French as well. Enjoy
Instructions:
you will need to download both files found below.
DowngradeUpdater(needed)
PS3DJB Updated to 2.5.1 - English Only - Now Includes darkstone hd2froyo v3 in a custom folder just for jailbreaking. Size 103mb
Install:
Make sure you have placed your android build of your choice on the root of your sd card before installing. Your android build must be placed in the Android folder.
1.install downgradeupdater.cab to storage card. (this only contains the downgrade folder)
2. install PS3DJB.cab to storage card. (this contains the main UI and all jailbreak files)(does not include modified 3.41 PUP, lv2diag.self file 1 and lv2diag.self file 2)
Pre Use:
1. run app and select backup original android build (must do this first before you run setup jailbreak if you want to keep your original zImage of your Android build.)
2. select setup jailbreak. This will transfer all the files to your android build. if you replace your android build later on with a newer version just rerun the setup jailbreak.
Use:
1. once you set up jailbreak then proceed to select Launch PS3DJB. Follow the jailbreak instructions on the process. There are tons of tuts on how to do so. It is all they same for the most part. What is different for the HD2 is Once you boot into Android go and launch Gscript and select the payload of your choice. Then wait till it starts to auto countdown then plug the phone into the ps3 and start the jailbreak process.
2. If you want to downgrade your ps3 launch downgrader. This will take you to a mini android build made specifically for downgrading your ps3. This will not affect your other android builds
Questions and Answers:
Q) how do I know when everything backed up, restored or setup for jailbreak?
A) it will complete when the button image snaps back to normal when completed.
Q) im done downgrading and cant turn off the phone with the power button?
A) If you run the downgrade portion of the app you will need to pull the battery out when your done and reboot the phone. this is not due to my app it is part of the downgrade setup.
Q) Where is the Gscript folder located at?
A) gscript folder installs to the root of your SD card. It should install when you install the PS3DJB.CAB if you do not see it. Reboot your phone. Sometimes it caches till a reboot. not sure if its a OS issue or a Rom issue.
Q) I started Gscript and only see a couple of payloads. Isnt there more?
A) if you are missing payloads in gscript listing hit the windows button then select add script. Then finally select load. find a missing script select it and save. it will now populate to your main list in gscript. you will need to add. hermes 3.50 + PSN v4b, CE-X hybrid payload, and 2.76FW payload.
Q) I have multiple android builds will this mess with them?
A) Yes and No. It will only mess the the android build located in the Android Folder. If you want to make sure your stock android build stays stock after jailbreaking run the backup original android build button first to back up a copy of your original zImage. Once your done jailbreaking just run restore original android build to restore the backedup zImage.
Q) Do I need to install the downgradeupdater.Cab if I don’t plan on downgrading?
A) No you do not. It does not affect anything releated jailbreaking. If you hit the launch downgrader button without it installed will cause the app to display a message about it missing.
Q) if i downgrade will i loss my game saves? if so how do i keep them?
A) If you downgrade you may loose your game save. Go to system settings and back up your system. the option is at the bottom of the list almost. you can restore the same way
if you have any suggestion let me know.
enjoy!

sorry for noob question... what for this app actually?

Wonderful app! Thank you for your work. Wouldn't this be better suited for the HD2 Apps forum though?

i thought it might be but was not sure. if a mod wants to move it feel free.
This app just make things easier/noobier for people who want to jailbreak or downgrade there ps3. i personally got annoyed always having to open file explorer and hit both options to launch. i have a lot of crap on my sd card so this makes it easier for me and i hope others. it will also give you a dedicated folder for the downgrade.
i can always make the jb a dedicated folder but i notice that android runs fine with the jb files integrated. it did not affect my user experience so i did not do that originally.

Thank you! This is an extremely useful app, you have made my life so much easier...

Like here for example...

Doesn't work for german ROMs, cause in german "Storage Card" means "Speicherkarte" and so the path for the setup is wrong ... Installing is no problem.

This is awesome
Thank you HackMimic

the only probem with using ps jailbreak on my hd2 android is that it breaks my camera

had the same problem when I made my multi os launcher app days ago. I have the translation for German and another language. I will make the proper changes for ya. Would you prefer everything visual to read in German.

unfortunately if your at 3.55 there is no way to downgrade as they revoked the leaked keys. there where 3 of them i believe. i would not update your ps3 anyfurther down the road and wait till there is a workaround. im always scared my roommate will do the same. thats why i bought two. one jb in the front with a ps3key. thats what my roommate will use since its easy and one in my room with my htc now.

Does it break the camera in WM or android? My camera in WM works fine. if in android it might be the zimage file used. I think i will need to make a backup folder and include a button to backup original zImage of the rom so you can restore it when not jailbreaking.
also doing a pure german rom is no big deal. Let me update the app to do this new stuff first and when i upload it i will upload a translated version as well.

Hi,
I am using an english version wm, still says that the directory can't be opened
Storage Card/blah blah blah..
using android RAM version by darkstone.. maybe that's the cause?

Whenever I click on "Setup Jailbreak", I get an error message saying, " An unexpected error has occurred in SmartDeviceProject1.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details or more information." I'm using a dexter wm rom, "TheDarkOne WWE". Radio 2.10.50.26. Any help would be appreciated.

Gingerbread running on topaz!

Neopeek just release a build of gingerbread and let me tell you..... this **** is sweet! Runs faster than any eclair or froyo rom out there and its only in alpha!

just download mini tool partioning its free find on google.Partition your sdcard the main to be f32 and another one ex2 partition both as primary.Put all packege on sdcard and follow readme.text inside thats all. Use any good kernel you were using, and enjoy

Ah is it possible to make an ext2 file? Just like XDAndroid?

I tried to just run the npkinstall but it crashed. Now I can't even run haret or a few other apps on my phone. I'm getting, "...cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found.." Is there a quick fix for this? Or am I going to have to restore? I kind of don't want to have to restore..

testing now...

It`s fast but unstable, random reboots, gallery flickering, waiting alpha 3 ver.

Yes, I have ext2. the Gingerbread running on topaz is good, some point need improvement. it is worth to try.
Thanks.

Nice work they did, but didn't like the graphics. They seemed low quality, I suppose there was a resolution issue with the graphics.

After messing around with it overnight i have noticed several stability issues mostly pertaining to apps (such as the gallery mentioned, browser and google search) but it is still the alpha build. Hopefully neopeek will release the alpha3 build promised today but if not its still nice to know that gingerbread is up and running!
for those who are trying to figure out the install there is step by step instructions on the thread if you scroll down a tad. In summary, download mini partion tool. run it. find your sd card and reformat it with a fat32 partition and ext2 partition, both must be set to primary but the ext2 partition only needs 400-600 mb. after this copy and paste everything from the package download and get a kernel ( note: must use neopeek kernels! best i found so far is th "htc-msm-linux @ 20101204_005141" just google and download) next step is to put the correct startup file in the root and the right install startup in the npkinstall folder. Next is to run the install file inside the npkinstall folder...wait.... it'll restart your phone then you can run haret! make sure you put the zimage and module files in the root like you would with an xda android port.

Yeah seems pretty snappy, like others have mentioned it has stability issues. I've gotta say I am impressed with how well it works for an alpha build.
Angry birds seems really smooth except the screen flicker.

Run cool but wifi doesn't work for me , and no camera, any answer for me?

camera is an ongoing problem and won't be fixed for awhile tho they have apparently gotten it to work on diamond. as for the wifi you just need to use the kernel i posted heres a link to the download

Your kernel doesn't work , need rename and overwrite the old one?

I have been running Neopeeks build for the last 24 hours, and i must say it is almost as fast as FRX03 Froyo build. Some apps do freeze the device and must soft reset, Gps was not working, battery drain was huge and videos could not be played(tested with youtube). I don't own a BT headset so did not test that. All in all it is a great alpha build,and totally worth a try if you don't mind partioning your sd card.

[Q] Over clocking DIY thread...

I have searched a lot, spent time trying to figure everything out.
I have Hero that I am trying to make BA for my little bro. I have the evo now. Rooted and tethering. Not much else I need to mess with on it. Fast enough for me. But my old hero is now rooted and has the app to tether. I can't figure out how the heck to over clock it. It is slow and I want to kick it up a couple notches for him.
I have searched and all the codes that you guys use at the top throw the searches off, or maybe I am searching for the wrong thing.
Any links to other threads would be great. That way when someone else searches just over clocking like I did it will come to this thread and then link to the useful threads.
Thanks in advanced.

I see you are rooted already, is the phone running a stock rom? If so think about installing [ROM] cyanogenMod 6.1 stable (<<<<search). Then you flash a [Kernel] [GPL] DecaFuct [2.6.29.6] (<<<<search) and install a app called OverClock Widget, it is easier to use than the other one you can use called SetCPU. Thats pretty much it, somebody may chime in that can put a few links up but I am on my phone right now so I cant.

These are JayBob's CM6.2 ROM Downloads.

Okay, so I need to back up my phone? Can I use the app on the android market MyBackup by Rerwarre, LLC? Then I need to download the files you linked me to in this thread? And then what?

Okay. I am sure you are all tired of hearing from me. But I am going to flash a ROM that has a over clock on it. I have a question tho. When I download the files. It unzips them. By that I mean I can open the folder and explore all of the files. Does this make it impossible to load that ROM? Thanks for your quick responses in advanced.

You dont want the file unzipped. Leave it zipped and put it on the root of SD card, that means just on the SD card, not in another file. Then reboot into recovery by powering phone off, then hold down the power button and the home button at the same time, keep them down until recovery comes on. If a white page comes up instead of recovery that says clear storage, pull battery and try again. Once in recovery you should see a few options. Nandroid, select this by clicking track ball while highlighted, this will back up your current system. After that choose install zip from SD card, then select the rom you loaded on SD card. After is says done, choose reboot system now. Then find Gapps 12-18-2010, I think those are the latest ones. Put them on root of SD like you did the rom and reboot into recovery the same way, choose the install zip from SD and select the Gapp file. Then reboot system amd you will set phone up with google like you did when it was new. You can then install one of the kernels linked for you, I recommend the 768 one, download OverClock Widget from the market and set it to 748, if your phone reboots for no reason lower that to 729, 710, wherever it becomes stable for you.

Okay, I did nandroid, I cleared everything, and I loaded the zip'd file ( I was trying to say earlier it is my mac's default action to un zip the file when it downloads. So I re compressed it. This might be attributing to my later problems) ANd then I rebooted. And it looks and behaves exactly the same as before.
Any pointers or ideas why it did this?

Since you re compressed it, it may need to be resigned before flashing. I could be wrong though

What does resigned mean?

ANybody have any idea why my ROMS arent loading at all?

Not quite sure if this will work on mac, you may need to find a XP pc to do this from. Here is a link to a zip signer though, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805766&highlight=zip+signer
Another thought...
Can you download the rom using the phone, then move file from download folder to root of SD card, using a file manager such as Astro or even better E Strongs File Explorer? I have read where some members have rooted, installed roms, kernels, theme, with no PC at all.

awesome idea on doing it from my phone. I didn't know it was a Mac problem. I can just run boot camp and boot up my mac with windows OS and try it on that. Thanks again.

Okay, i am trying to do it all from the phone. But the file is too large for the phones memory. And I can't figure out how to download righto the SD card. Any pointers here?

That's weird it should. I have my applications checked to be installed to external memory but I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Mine go to sd

Ok what rom are you running again?
I just go to settings then cyanogenmod settings then application settings & it will let you choose

The factory ROM trying to get the first custom one loaded.

use the xda app and navigate to the thread that has the rom you want to install. from there click the link of the rom and it will go to SD card in a file called downloads. after completed plug phone into PC/mac and move that file/rom to root of SD card. Then reboot recovery and flash, done. There are literally 100+ threads on installing a rom, search, read, learn. What recovery do you have installed?

Okay downloading it to my Windows 7 bootcamp worked like a charm. I did the red dawn ROM. Isn't that one already over clocked?

I believe it is, 710 maybe not to sure I have never ran it. There are faster smoother roms to run, why that one when we have Froyo for the Hero

[webtop] webtop2sd discussion (currently version 2.0.1)

Note: Please keep this thread restricted to Atrix-specific and general issues. Threads for other devices are referenced at the top of the main webtop2sd thread.
Discuss webtop2sd here (the other thread will be kept clean for announcements, FAQs, etc.).
Before you report an issue:
Make sure it's not on the Known Issues list first!.
Basic debugging, since these are going to be questions I ask anyways:
If you hit problems with the Android webtop2sd application, you'll need to tell me the error, and give me the last few lines of adb logcat. Run this adb command, which will filter out most of the unimportant lines:
adb logcat ActivityManager:i AndroidRuntime:i webtop2sd:i *:s
Are you actually booting from your SD card? You can find this out by checking the Diagnostics tab in webtop2sd, under "Currently mounted webtops". If mmcblk1p12 isn't listed, you're not booted from your SD card. If this is the case, report what ROM you're running from.
Is the webtop configurator application showing, but not running successfully? If so, plug your device into your dock and run a terminal (either locally or adbWireless + adb shell) and run the following:
su
/usr/bin/sudo -H -u adas bash
export DISPLAY=:0
python /usr/local/bin/webtop-configurator.pyc
I'll need whatever output shows up.

great! thanks for making it so much easier.
haven't actually tested it b/c i sort of figured out how to do that a few days back, but still need to manually install it.
maybe i'll test your app next time i decide to reinstall my ubuntu.
btw, which script are you using to mount /osh? for me only /data/logging.sh works (it's safer anyway).

I suspect that what I'm doing isn't rocket science by any means. But, what I do seem to be pretty good at is packaging semi-complex things up for people into a manageable form with a fairly solid level of reliability. You couldn't imagine the things I'm happy that I managed to accomplish with this app, because they're so... quirky.
Anyways, I've been using /system/bin/mountosh since the beginning. I need to tweak the copy I'm using right now, since my goals have expanded beyond what I initially wrote it for. On the other hand, it'll mean that I can separate out my "personal" Ubuntu versus my "debugging" one, and that should be quite helpful.

These advances with linux customization in webtop have turned me on to Ubuntu in general. I just dumped windows xp on my desktop server and now run ubuntu super OS and studio. This takes a phone to a new level. Thanks OP!

i would love to try this out but i'm on a mac.. can you partition through disk utility?

I would complain that you beat me to it, my initial post here, except it looks like what you created is way more advanced and polished than anything I could do.
I will check it out right now. Oops, i see it is only a shell at the moment. Well I am very eager to try it.
A few questions then:
1. I assume this is similar to your last mod, in that you have just moved the Motorola environment onto the SD card, no chroot or other tricks?
2. Is the dependency problem better? Are we able to replace the motorola packages?
3. Are we still stuck with jaunty or is there a possibility to upgrade to a supported version of ubuntu?

I know this might seem like a useless question (installing regardless), but your previous work was based off the 1.5.7 firmware, would this app be supported/functional on the current 1.8.3 firmware?
Oh, and...
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

Yes I believe the most important questions here are:
1 - which version will it work for? .83? .57? or just up to .52?
2 - If the Ubuntu version could be upgraded to, say, 11? Probably not, but hey...
Regardless, your work is the only reason why I'm buying myself a lapdock and replacing my netbook, so thank you very much for this hobby of yours =)

Looks great, thanks for the hard work

Sweet!! I just bought a 32 GB card the other day. Happy Fathers day to me.
Looks like no sleep week.

Possibly; I'm not sure. At least one person I talked to said that it should be possible via command line utilities, but I'm not the best person to ask about this particular issue, not having convenient access to Mac OS X...

Heh. I've actually been planning this for over a month, after some pointers from eval- - I had a rough version running, but I wanted to make something that users would be able to take advantage of easily. Oddly, it's the UI that's been the difficult part - actually having it do stuff is (relatively speaking) the easy part.
1. Yes, this is moving the Motorola environment to the SD card. Nothing special otherwise.
2. Not really - nothing's changed on that front. I'll be tweaking some of the package states on the filesystem to make upgrades less liable to completely blow up, but if we want to keep some of the niceties that Motorola added, I'll need to port those changes forward (which I have no particular problem with doing).
3. We're stuck with Jaunty for now. Unfortunately, it looks like information I had previously in regards to a version upgrade for Ubuntu don't apply to our phone, so I'll likely start working on an upgrade to 10.04 LTS after this stabilizes.

This is the fun part. Since this is an Android application and not a script, this part should work with any version. I'm currently running 4.1.57 on my phone (I never did get around to upgrading), but once I verify it works there properly, I'll be upgrading to 4.1.83 and testing there as well. There are no issues that I'm aware of that would prevent this first application from running, and the second application (the Python/Gtk one I have planned) should be able to handle any differences between the various ROMs out there.
And the Ubuntu version upgrade question, I answered just above this.

everything is greyed out when i try to use the app..

32g class 10 has proven to fail on the atrix
it corrupts. Lets hope you didn't spend the extra money for the class 10

Greyed out? I know that the "Go!" and "Uninstall" buttons tell you that it's not implemented yet, but nothing should be grayed out?

That's good to know. Luckily they were out of 10's, and I got a four. Already formatted 16 GB fat32 the rest ext3.

Now that I really look at it mine is also. So I'm guessing that's due to 1.83, or GladiAtrix. That's what I'm using.
I'll post a screenshot if you need.
I could go to stock 1.57 upgrade to 1.83 but not until tomorrow night

Thanks for the answers, Sogarth. And congratulations on your gift man, because your sum of intelligence and dedication sure is one. I'll be installing this on my Atrix as soon as it has been stabilized (and, well, actually made useful xD)

I am on Gingerblur 4.5 only things greyed out are Partitioning section, both 'Device to partition' and 'Webtop partition size' items if "Partition ext. storage" is not selected. Also under "Locations" 'Delete filesystem file' is grey if 'Source webtop' is set to 'internal storage'.
All of these being grey makes sense if you read what they are doing......

Unchecking the Partition ext. storage option "ungreyed" the Locations options and Advanced options. Didn't think about doing that since that was one of the goals of this app.
Since I manually partitioned already I should have thought of that.
