wahh.. same lah. got my Legend yesterday after finally bored with Symbian for so many years.
Managed to trade in my X6 for 1.3k .. the best I could get.

yeah totally a brand new world. kicked my butts hard for getting the X6 out of GAS.
i'm happy with the Legend. The market application is just fantastic.

that is a good information. thanks for sharing. now we know how important to remember 'em passwords

I have tried v2.1 but I don't like it. The Market just force close every time I'm downloading an app. Plus the Sense is missing and that is one of the reason I get the Legend in the first place. I have reverted to stock rooted for the time being until next update.
It's fast anyways and the live wallpaper is cool!

Basically, here is what I did :

Install HTC Sync to your computer. You can use the installer from our SD card inside 'Tool' folder. (this will provide the USB drivers for the next steps).

1) Create a gold card.

2) Root your legend

3) Put new ROM

you need to have the SD card adapter handy. quite tricky at some parts especially at setting up ADB. for an IT person, this should not be hard.

Hope this helps. Oh.. just so you know, it took me at least 5 attempts step 1) above

I've just flashed to v2.2 .. and I do not have Sense! (pun intended). Grrrr!
'The application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again'.
force close.

Anyone managed to get the Sense working?

I envy u, my fren hehe.
I don't know where have I gone wrong. I will try one more time later.
LWP works fine but when I want to change 'scenes', it force close on me.
Another thing, I cannot find the option to change the lock wallpaper as per stock ROM.

Btw, when you mentioned apps are installed into SD, do we have to do that manually or it will automatically install to SD? e.g: using Market.

I was about to ask the same question. Haha..
Most likely we need to get the stock ROM from HTC? No?

Now that I already flashed it with custom ROM I think this phone will stay with longer than my previous phone so I guess I won't be reverting to the stock one.

Now that you mentioned about sending for warranty claim, it just hit me. It didn't occur to me probably because I was so sure that this phone is built like a tank and there's no need to claim warranty. haha.. how silly. Ok time to search for stock ROM now, shall we?

Regarding the phonebook, I have synced all my contacts to Gmail. So everytime I flash the phone, I save the hassle of getting my contacts back to the phone because as soon as you're connected and signed in to Gmail from the phone, it will sync all your contacts back to the phone, with their photos of course.

I'm not sure about it being able to pull photos from Facebook. There is now 'Contacts' app in Rodriguez's ROM apart from the stock 'People' which I found , to me at least, redundant. Not sure if the phonebook app is the one from Nexus One because I never had experience with Nexus One yet.

Live Wallpaper is not sluggish, no lags but I don't like the ones that come with the ROM so I just use my own wallpaper. We only use LWP when we want to show off the phone only, don't we? hehe.. just kidding.

owh btw, regarding the Sense. I was wrong about it. It is actually there but it FC on me when I want to change scenes. So I am stuck with only one scene.
Anyone managed to use other scenes, if any?

If your current phonebook have photos, fret not because they will be back when you sync the phone to your google account after flashing.
I made a contact backup anyways just to be sure. The first time I flashed, I restored the contact to the phone and and then only I get it connected. As a result I have double entries due to the sync haha.

The 'required files' contains test image as well as the rooted image, hence the 200mb. Then you also need to download the custom ROM which is another 100+ Mb. Then again you need Android SDK which is just another couple of hundreds of Mbs.

Yes, you need the adapter to make the 'goldcard'. If you get your phone from SIS, you definitely need to make a gold card (or maybe I do not know how to not to make one hehe). Otherwise you will get an error during the 1st step. During this process you need to connect the card to your card reader (hence the need of the adapter) and run that HxD thingy to 'stamp' your SD card accordingly. Just follow the 'how to make a goldcard' guide and you cant go wrong.

it's a fun thing to do, seriously.

yes the link above is the correct stock ROM for my legend, at least.

(http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Legend/RUU_Legend_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.31.707.2_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_121965_signed.exe)

How do I know? Because I noted down the version prior to my rooting session. I have now unrooted my phone successfully and I got back my Celcom scene together with the Celcom scene just like the first time I got the phone

The process is rather simple. Basically you plug your phone , switch it on and run the RUU. and then next, next, next until you're done. It took me less than 10 minutes.

Owh, I made a goldcard first before running the RUU (I am not sure if this is necessary though).

So guys / gals .. go ahead .. root your phone away! hehehe..

Rodriguezstyle MoDaCoMoDrOm V2.3 Vivid Sense is out now.
damn he's fast. I wonder if he ever sleeps.

Are you using the earphones that comes with the box or a different one?
You sure you have pushed it all the way down? Because at first I thought I was having the same problem like you until I realized that it hasn't been pushed it all the way down.
There shouldn't be a gap between both.

I second that.

I've just installed this ROM. totally new feel compared to RodriguezStyle's.
other than the static IP, the rests are just cool.

oucchhhh...
a reminder to all not to put it inside the back-pocket already now

riziger, what wallpaper app do you use?
so far when I use the default wallpaper app (menu -> wallpaper), it will ask me to crop the pic unless the pics size is the exact same size of the whole 7 'desktops'.
I would normally drag the green 'crop' line to cover the most possible area of the pic.
Same method with lock screen wallpaper. If the pics size is of the same pixels, it will not ask me to crop.
