I can see Angry Birds in the Market but I did not d/l it. D/l Angry Birds Season in Nov though (version 1.1.1). Boring game. I am addicted to "Word up".:D

I can access all (I think) paid and free apps in the Market. H/w, I have never tried d/ling any of the paid apps yet. My apps (~30) are currently free so far.

I see, so u do get to buy apps there. Sigh.... paid apps ain't available here in M'sia. There were some apps I wanted, had to find replacements for it. Now I've forgotten which was the one I wanted. Lol.

OK enough ranting, back to topic.

After using froyo for a few weeks on legend now, I'd says I'm quite happy with it. Everything feels smother, except that after about a week it starts to lag a little, then its time to reboot the phone and everything is smooth again.
Live wallpapers eats too much CPU. However, I found an interesting live wallpaper that's good on the CPU. Its called multipicture live wallpaper. It gives all your screens a different still picture, but can rotate the pics every X amount of set time. Theres alot of setting can play with, and its FREE. For those who dislike 1 still wallpaper for all screens.

some apps are available straight from dev.
I would suggest a wipe, it clears all that up.

Yea... I did buy Tasker straight from the dev. But I do wish that theres a reason why we cant download somewhere around.... It may be a bit too much to ask, but... well... its nice to know.

Yeah... the multipicture is on the market now tho.

Maybe it's because I am not too choosy but the free apps have so far met my needs. :D

I am looking for an Android tablet now. Now choosing between the Samsung Galaxy Tab vs Viewsonic 7 vs China- made OEM ones. Still undecided but if the specs are comparable, I will go for the Chinese OEM ones as they are way cheaper.

Drop by in Singapore, buy a local SIM card and d/l all you require before going back M'sia. If you are staying at Johore, it should be fairly convenient.

Hi

I have checked my phones settings... Vodophone P-as-Y-Go to find i have
Android 2.2 with Build no. 3.14.161.1 CL282424 Release keys ( UK resident )

Is this the Froyo 2.2 upgrade that everyone 's talking about here ?

When i bought the Legend it came with 2.1 Eclair so the phone must have updated itself via Vodophone as I have not done any upgrades .

Can anyone confirm this ?

Cheers Shaun
 
Can anyone give me step-by-step instructions on using a gold card to install the WWE edition of FroYo for the Legend? Everything I find tells me how to root but not how to just install the WWE as per my request on this thread:

http://androidforums.com/legend-sup...33871-help-legend-not-updating-wifi-gone.html

I'm fairly computer savvy but don't want to cock this up because my wife is an iPhone 4 user and will not only rip on me for being Android but also for the $500 I spent on the handset if I brick it :)
 
I just found a vid on unlockr about unrooting the phone - basically they said to hook it up with HTC synch and run the app from Windows - would this actually work?

you will have had a message saying it wants an upgrade, it takes about 10 minutes so you may've forgotten it.
Yep it is, Voda put it out ages ago :)

that's unrooting, what you want to do is flash a ROM without root using a goldcard I believe? I read the thread you pointed me to.
That is basically what the root process does, but it needs other things as well.
I don't think it's possible tbh and if it were, it would pretty much be rooting but putting in a different ROM and I don't think that'd work.

If I were you, I would just root using theunlockr's guide and flash it, I think that would actually be SAFER than what you want to do (as far as I know)

I'd like to add that I've never heard of a fully bricked Legend
