Hei guys....
I've read How To OC,
but I'm still not sure if I get every idea right, so

question for those who OC their Legend:
1. I need to flash in a kernal for OC to work?
2. How to check if the kernal is compatible for my Android version? or every kernal will work?

Did you set up your APNs after you flashed the ROM?

How are you over-clocking?

I think i know what's wrong...
the old kernel will clash v the newest wifi driver if not wrong...

Phew, I thought I'm the only one left. Bro, how is the battery life in Blayo's? And performance compared to other roms?
*
Performance wise it's quite smooth if overclocked...
Leaving at stock is quite laggy...

Battery life not much changes compared to before although overclocked...
but i do set profiles to help save battery...

Oh, S-OFF is kinda like breaking the security barrier of the phone so you can edit whatever you like on the system. Example, without S-OFF you cannot delete system app via Root Explorer, with it you can. There a quite a number of things you can do with S-OFF. Theme it, change the system fonts.

Lol. A2SD moves only the apps to SD-ext while Data2Ext moves the whole system to SD.

Geez, still waiting for the Black Legend. No news yet?
*
yeah my internal storage is <100MB i guess i'm on A2SD...
Data2Ext to me is not so good cz i might forgot to unmount it before connecting to pc...

Is Data2Ext better these days?

Yea I noticed that too. The battery drain is really awful. The thing about Blayo's is I don't like Sense. I prefer vanilla Android.
*
just use adw EX on top of it... nvr like sense outlook too...
but i did like the smart dial n contact integration...
other than sense UI, i guess blayo is top!

QUOTE(andrekua @ Mar 29 2011, 07:11 PM)
Have you tried it before?

I dont think I have ever unmount before trying to connect to my PC lor...
If I remembered correctly, the only thing you cant do is take the battery out to force restart it... never mention that you must unmount...
*
i tried using HTC HD2...
but duno which Data2Ext is it... DarkTremor or what i duno...
Didn't know much about that also... jz tried on fren's phone...
oh that's a bad thing that i need... my phone did need to take out batt some times...
