FroYo 2.2 for Legend

i've tried that, it's very unstable. i get force close everytime i go setting. damn! seriously, who needs froyo when they announce htc desire hd.

Me, I hate big phones. I have no wish for a Desire or an iPhone.

The Legend is perfect for me. A little bit bigger than a regular phone, but with smartphone abilities.

The Legend is easilly the best allrounder on the market, bar none,. Sure there may be better phones for specific needs, but as an allrounder, the Legend is the phone to beat.

I'm desperate to get Froyo, I have run out of space on my phones internal memory! and the 2.1 Sense bugs are driving me mad. Particularly the countrycode look-up problem, the flakiness of Peep not logging in and the texting app listing back to front.

i've tried it, the azure 1.0.1. its stable, don't know why it was unstable when i installed it the previous time. anyway, i can't download the official flash player from adobe. anyone got any idea if unofficial rom can download the adobe flash player? my market don't have it, regardless paid or free.

U can download from her: How To: Install Flash 10.1 On Android 2.1 Eclair Devices

Ps: It's works on android 2.1 only, when you install flash 10.1 on froyo the browser will force close.

Download Handcent from the market.. it's an SMS app, it fixed my 'texts in the wrong order' problem... it's a pretty great app too!

Guys - FroYo is confirmed for the Legend.
Chill out!
It'll come when it comes. You've waited this long, why can't you wait that extra bit longer?
And anyway - most are quite unhappy with FroYo (including myself) so you shouldn't be as enthusiastic to get the update cause I'm sure hTC are fixing the flaws in the Desire's version or at least provide Legend users with a much more stable version of it.

Its not so much we all just want froyo we need it to fix the hansets, on myne i cant get to messaging because when i click on it i get taken to facebook and music takes me to weather and apparently vodafone cant do anything about it!

I want 2.2 now because I need the option of moving the stored apps to SD card, I've run out of memory!

Handcent is awesome! 2.1 bugs aren't really that bad & theres generally a way around them, but I deffo recommend ROOTing your phone, it's so much better...Just handles day to day tasks with ease. It looks geeky to DIY, but it's not that hard for an intermediate computer user. Just search for the guides on here, xda forums & at the unlockr.com ;)

But I need more memory... NOW! :'(

As I understand it - Legend users (myself included) have to give HTC some time. HTC is running its Sense software - so they have to make sure the 2.2 Froyo (is it just me or is this a very odd name) runs smoothly and correctly with the HTC Sense.

Remember its not running stock 2.1 OS - its running HTC Sense.

Just my 2 cents
Froyo i think means FROzen YOghurt.

New twitter message from Mark Moons:

'Legend eigenaren met trek in bevroren Yoghurt', we zijn jullie niet vergeten, echt niet! (weet dat het lang duurt)

This translates to: 'Legend owners with a taste for frozen yoghurt, we didn't forget you, really! (know it takes a long time)'

Sounds pretty clear, you just have to be patient.

what a news.............. thanks however to have reported it.

same as always, just wait but how much? desire users got it at beginning august, it's almost november and we have nothing except a "we're still thinking about you", obviously no confirmed deadlines at all. I really wonder if someone still really thinks it's taking so much because they want to give us a perfect update....

I just got this reply back from HTC support after inquiring about the Froyo update for Legend:

"Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center.

With regards to your inquiry,

Google has made us aware of an issue affecting updates to Android-powered handsets that result in the Android Market client becoming completely disabled after a platform software update. As a result, HTC has decided to temporarily suspend all current FOTA (Firmware over the Air) updates that upgrade our phones from one Android platform version to another. HTC is committed to providing customers with the best possible user experience. We are working closely with Google to resolve this issue quickly and will resume our programme of updates as soon as this issue is resolved."



Whatever that means....

Hi guys

This is the latest I got from HTC - literally this morning:




Regarding your enquiry,

At the moment the Android 2.2 is not available for the HTC Legend and we haven't information of when and if it will be release, however I can advice to keep an eye on our website for future information about it.

So it all looks terribly bleak....
