Hi folks,
is it possible to port the Android 2.2 to the Legend without Rosi UI? In all newsthreads here on the web they say 2.2 will come on Legend but HTC have to adapt the Sens UI to FroYo before...
So the question is, is it possible to cook a FroYo Rom without Sense UI (Rosi UI) for the Legend ??? There are enough launcher at the market if someboy need
Thanks to all chiefs here, your work is great!!
Cu Andy
I would also like to know this thanks
I would love to have a generic (no Sense) Rom on my Legend. Whether it's 2.1 or 2.2...

well I doubt about this, as far all custom roms are coming up with home-sense on HTC devices.
You can install additional home replacement (e.g. Helix luncher) and set it as default.
I think it will be also possible in Android 2.2 so dont worry.

Not realy, @ modaco forum it´s possible to cook roms @ online kitchen, you are also able to choose without sense ui, but kitchen is down at the moment...
i would like to try a rom without sense ui, there are many apps and launcher in the market so i can put out the needed widgets single without using the 45mb big sense ui... i don´t want to think about the ram usage from sens ui... this ui is nearly the half rom-size...
For me it´s only important to have a good kalender widget and a useable launcher, so this can i build without sense ui too... (use the phone as time manager mainly)
thanks andi

Yeh, I know. I've got Zeam on my Legend and I'm happy with it. I still have HTC custom apps though. And I strongly prefer stock Android apps, EG Calendar, Contacts, Alarm Clock. Call me a pervert but Sense UI does absolutely nothing to me. Perhaps I shouldn't have got a Legend in first place but I really liked the hardware...

Maybe if we pooled our money together for a donation, it would give him a bit more motivation.

me too...how? Anyway I contacted HTC to know if they will update legend to 2.2 and the told me:
Thank you for contacting us. Regarding your enquiry about Android 2.2: We cannot comment on what devices may or may not get an update just yet. Any announcements will be made through our Website, Facebook page and our Twitter feed. Please keep an eye on these channels for any updates regarding your handset. Thank you for contacting HTC. Kind regards, Federico F. HTC
So nothing new. Anyway I advise you to do the same, I think that if they will receive thousand of emails regarding this request of upgrade they cannot ignore us. A great thing would be if XDA Administrator could contact them to force them to give us this upgrade asap.

I asked the same thing a day or to ago.
And the reply was almost the exact same (but then in Dutch). Too much alike that it made me guessing that it's an autoreply.
Dno for sure but I think it's a good idea to send as much requests as possible

Another reply from HTC:
About the Legend and the Desire: We are working closely with Google and our other partners to ensure we have the earliest access to everything we need to provide a complete and solid HTC Sense experience on Froyo. We expect to release all updates in the second half of this year but can't be more specific yet. Kind regards, Federico F. HTC

HTC is very smart to NOT answer..."we are still analyzing the impact???" Wake up HTC the impact can be only positive!! Froyo 2.2 makes phones 450% faster than 2.1, has JIT compiler, App2SD, come on HTC, open your eyes!! I think I will insist and we are not alone, I'm in contact with an italian forum with more than 1000 users with htc legend, everybody will email HTC in the next days, we cannot be unsatisfied, we want the upgrade and we'll have it.
+1 for Froyo Legend ROM

the important is to keep annoying the HTC support every day until they will announce officially the update. Everybody must email them, call them, they can't ignore thousands of people
hey guys...
i've noticed that wildfire will get android 2.2 (with Sense, of course). Kiljacken had a 2.1 ROM from official wildfire, so we can try to port this version to our Tattoo, no?
I love Sense

ok. but we must wait the official ruu..
yes, in about a month...
PS : Wildfire roms are a bit "heavy" for our Tattoo (because wildfire has 384 MB RAM, tattoo has only 256). i'm waiting from the launch of HTC Tide, which it will released in this month, and is nearly the same that the Tattoo (same processor, same RAM, same display,but with AF Camera). It will bring Eclair with Sense
Specs : http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC-Tide-phone-p_4287.html
PS2 : HTC Salsa will be released this month too, is a 320x240 device, and it MAY cames with FroYo...at least we can got good roms (without camera)
I'll attempt this when the RUU comes out, since I believe Kiljacken will be working on his CM6 port
Thanks Jacob!!
good news (hopefully)
According to following post
there could be an official froyo for HTC tattoo by end of september.
Will call HTC support tomorrow to find out the truth
http://androidforums.com/1536486-post63.html
I don't trust this source. A new member with only this post?! And why not make it official?
In my opinion, HTC gave up on the Tattoo by the time they released the Wildfire....

I don't think so. Recently (june) HTC Italy said that Tattoo will never get official 2.1...

Exactly. I do not believe that Tatto will ever receive any official upgrade.
I am pretty happy with current custom Froyo ROMs The only problem with them is non working camera (which in other hand is full crap, i used it to scan QR codes only).
Yes, Sense UI is quit nice, but it also offers a lot of crap too.
I miss HTC keyboard only, but in other hand it doesn't provide characters nor word suggestion for my language. So i use AnySoftKeyboard which looks like stock one. Oh.. and i miss T9 input and search with dialpad in phone application. That's all.
Vauge reply from HTC
Hello guys,
Telephoned HTC, Orange-UK and emailed HTC.
None of them are giving clear answers. Vague replies.
(Attached the reply from HTC)
Trying to follow up with HTC about the email reply
EDIT (Following was my question):
Recently I have heard from people, that HTC and Orange-UK are releasing froyo update for HTC tattoo. I am waiting with 1000 eyes for this update. So I would be very grateful if you confirm the same. And also if you can provide further information in this issue.
EDIT (Hopes are blown away):
see the latest reply from HTC in the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8056368&postcount=15
Does that mean we might be getting a update for our Tattoo's

by the time they release there official Rom
most of us would have changed phones and contracts
as for official update I don't think tattoo is ever
cause this is there low end phone
I got use to no blue tooth by now
and that's the only problem with 1.6
So what's up now the Wildfire is out for some time, any news?
Hey Guys,
I've had my Incredible S for about 2 weeks and the last couple of days the Clock/Weather app is not updating AT ALL...manually or auto. I'm amusing its most likely a weather server issue but just wanted to know if anyone else is having these dramas....in Australia.
And I just remembered something else, not sure if I should start a new thread for this but my battery life so far is pretty crap, could be the Optus ROM but I hear other people having quite a good battery experience with this model... I mean, I hate saying this but I think my old 1yr old 3GS that I got rid of lasted longer...thats insane. haha.
Thanks in advance guys.
HTC Incredible S Stock 2.3.3 (S-ON...unfortunately)
Yep - same problem here of weather not updating as of a few days ago on my Legend on Optus. Others also seeing the same problem in Oz
http://androidforums.com/android-applications/343392-htc-weather-app-widget.html
Thanks for your reply mate.
Sort of a relief to know I'm not the only one...but still...NOT good if that makes sense...haha
Yeah I know some ppl with with the Desire HD (Froyo, 2.3) that have the issue as well... Just saying that as on the Android forums someone said that a friend of there's has 2.2 and it worked so...I still believe it could be server related... Shame really, I have to run a third party weather widget/app when there's a perfectly good one in HTC Sense (built in)...with a clock too! haha
Cheers.
I'm using the HTC stock Froyo on my Legend (upgraded from Eclair a few months back) so the weather update issue appears to be a server one as came out of the blue - wasn't related to a Android update
I just re read my post. I meant 2.2 Froyo. Not 2.3. Haha. Yeah, I agree, its gotta be server related.
Thanks mate.
Same issue here. Got back from the USA yesterday and since then my location weather hasnt been updating, it was working fine over in the US. Since updated to 2.3 Gingerbread and still got the same issue (Some cities update others don't (including my home location and Melbourne, Hobart, London). Mine is a HK DHD so it's just not the incredible S.
Yeah, its weird.
Thanks guys anyway...I haven't tried it for a while now, been using other widgets etc...shame I have to do that though...
But if anyone's got any ideas, please share. If only I could root this bloody thing... I could change where it gets its info from.... I think... haha
Fellaz, try clear data in order = Google Maps + Clock Widget + Weather + HTC Sync Weather Provider + Weather Provider
It works on my IS..

What is your source for this?
I am currently running IceCold as I am too impatient and was boring of Virtuous Affinity.
I miss HTC Sense I know loads of people hate sense. I have no idea why. It's 100% better than the standard Android layout. Widget, htc apps (people, music etc), menus . Everything is much nicer and more feature full.
Anyway .... Not sure on the release, I haven't heard anything official.
Hopefully the post above is from a good source.

HTC announced it themselves, we're getting an official ICS from them.
Yeah HTC announced it but never said a release date, just a "later this year". They said after they do the sensations which I think has just been released or about to be released. I'm hoping mike1986 does a ICS ROM.

Well, Sense was cool the first week... then I realized that I don't use any of the Sense-widgets, nor did I use HTC's apps and I got tired of the layout
Everything that makes an HTC phone an HTC was also what made me change to an AOSP rom^^
There ya go why at least one guy don't like Sense
OnT (almost)
Only reason for why I'd like to see an official ics update, is because I'd like to see a fully functional AOSP ics rom
Asap would be the perfect time :3

Seen this the day it was announced.
What I meant was, where did this guy get after April from?
Is there a source for that or just a guess.
Looking at youtube videos of the Sensation it would seem HTC have scrapped the "grid style" menu button. Instead it's the list type, with no icons, that takes up almost the entire screen (Normally you would get this under "more" if necessary"
I was waiting on the sgs4, but after the cringe worthy unveiling last night…Im not 100% sold on it. Even with a nice vanilla rom, the hardware looks a bit boring (yeah, the screen does look nice…plus I bet the cpu+gpu will be awesome)…so my next choice is the HTC One. However, I don’t see any posts talking about Roms (other than stock/sense roms)…is this because its new…or is there an issue and custom vanilla android roms might not come out straight away?
Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure I know whats what before jumping in (I know for example, the sgs2 couldn’t get JB roms working 100% because it was missing the Sammy HW compressor at one point)
Cheers guys

It's just a matter of time till the No-Sense script (I believe that's what it was called for most htc phones) is adapted for the One.
However, out of the box you should be able to use something like Nova launcher to give you as much vanilla as you can get without rooting.
Hope it helped

You have to wait for someone to develope AOSP for this device. Typically, you have some one try to get CM going, then you'll get aokp and so on if this device is popular enough.

Would be Sony Ericsson, but the Xperia X1 was build by HTC just Software was SE.
it will need some time until someone figures out how everthing works with snapdragon cpu and until htc delivers some kernel sources... hopefully they will update to 4.2.2 anytime soon with kernel sources to get stable cm10.1
