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.

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! :'(

Hmmm... "Both handsets are functionality identical to the previous versions, so you get Android 2.2 and HTC Sense on both". So which previous Android 2.2 Legend handsets are those then?

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.
'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....
HTC Comment on Froyo update for Legend - October 2010
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."
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.
The new coloured Legends are coming very soon and they have 2.2.
Have you actually seen proof of that? The only thing I saw was that "Both handsets are functionality identical to the previous versions, so you get Android 2.2 and HTC Sense on both" - which doesn't make a lot of sense - well, apart from HTC Sense, of course!

FWIW - although I still check this thread unhealthily often, my desire for FroYo has become lessened due to the missus' update on her Desire to 2.2. Although it has a few nice features, it seems to be nowhere near as stable as 2.1.
Hopefully when/if we do get it, it will be far more stable.

Really? My wife just got a legend and I have a desire running 2.2. Setting up her phone for her I miss some of the features I've gotten used to like better gmail app, voice search, faster browsing to name a few. I really hope htc keeps their promise and comes through with 2.2 for the legend.
Roughly translates to "@someguy Yes, Froyo for Wildfire is coming, but first it's Legend's turn . Wildfire is just out (since the summer)."
!
Strange. I was certain that Froyo *was* out already for the Wildfire
... but of course I do not really follow the wildfire, but I *do* hope that froyo will soon arrive for the Legend, even though I miss only calendar sync for secondary google accounts...

We know that a number of you have been very vocal about wanting an update for your Legend. First and foremost, we would like to apologize for not responding to your ongoing pleas about the update. But we have been listening. We have been working hard to find the most accurate information about how the update is progressing, and when it will be ready for all of you – thankfully, you won’t have to wait much longer! Below you’ll find all the information we can share right now.
The update has been progressing quite well, and in the coming weeks those with unbranded Legends should be receiving the update.
For those of you with carrier-branded versions of Legend there will be a slightly longer wait. Once we finalize the update within HTC, the software must then go through the appropriate approval process at each carrier that supports Legend on their network. This is the same process for all of our handsets, and Legend is no different. Once our update has been approved by your specific carrier, you should then receive your software update. How long this process takes can vary, but our team is close to finishing the update and will then work with individual carriers for approval.
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask here. We will share as much information as we can. Thanks for your patience and for being a HTC customer!"

While we can appreciate that HTC has at least opened their mouth after months of waiting, the message is the same as what we received many months ago - they are working on it, and we have to wait.
The HTC Hero packed a powerful punch itself, but now the manufacturer has upped the ante in specs, design and model name with that device's successor - the HTC Legend.
The Legend takes design queues from the HTC Hero with its curved chin, but... Read More
