Decent 2.2 for our ZTE (LCD version)?

Hello,
Can someone post a decent 2.2 or 2.3 ROM for the ZTE Blade (LCD version)?

There are only 2.2 custom roms which are still in alpha.
You can find them in Modaco forums

That's for the Pulse. Wrong phone...

First, that is the pulse rom, not the blade.
Second, those gingerbread roms are not suitable for end-users. They haven't had much development and have many problems. The pulse one does have basic functions working and is usable, but the blade one doesn't even have basic functions (no RIL, no sd card, wifi is broken in the latest verison). Please do not encourage people to use them.

I've got Paul's Alpha 4 Froyo ROM working on my OLED and the girlfriends LCD. Everything works as expected, apart from the FM Radio.

It's not available to the general public, but if you go 'AD-Free' on Modaco you get access to the online Kitchen, and can generate your own version with common features added/subtracted.

Or there is a prebake of alpha 3 available. If you flash one of my themes over it, it fixes coarse location which is the main fix of alpha 4. I even uploaded stock theme with location working for alpha 3 and 4.

great roms can be found on modaco. i think we shojld invite their members over!

Yep, we're invading. I've been a member here for a while, but not posted much.

None of the current unofficial 2.2 roms are what I'd consider stable enough for serious / functional day to day use.
One of the main issues is that the lockscreen randomly freezes for many people in all current Froyo roms, even if you switch to a pattern unlock. Some users have reported that installing the app "Widget Locker" from the market is a possible work-around solution.
Fortunately there's some light at the end of the tunnel. Softbank are officially launching an Android 2.2 version of the Blade today! Their version is called the Libero Softbank 003Z.
Hopefully that will prove a much more stable / compatible version of Froyo than the present leaks, which people can then base more usable roms on.

Modaco's alpha 4 is more than stable i would say. I get the lockscreen freeze very rarely. Maybe once a couple of weeks. The other day twice in a day, but never during a call or anything. Just can't wake from sleep.

look over on modaco, a Android 2.2 build has been extracted from the chinese lcd version of the zte blade. hopefully we can get a sucessful port soon.

Been using 2.2 for a while, its been ok. Its the flb.froyo.r3a, I would recomend it.

I disagree.
This 2.2 is stable and fast.
Much better than the stock 2.1-1 B05 that my wife has on her stock Blade. Daily use, I'm happy with it. Might grab R5 when the link works, but it doesn't really matter. I've not found this one lacking.
And yes, I too am glad that the best smartphone site on the net has caught up with my purchasing =)

Which ROM to choose?

Which is a best rom for zte blade? Is there anywhere an unbranded version?

I'd say Ginger Stir Fry is far the best rom for Blade at the moment, however you can give CyanogenMod a try, but if you consider yourself as an average user, then GSF might be the best rom for you.

Agreed

Sounds good. I previously had JJ and am now on SS, but am looking for a stable 2.3 based ROM. CyanogenMod still has some issues (the stable 7.0.3 release reboots when a USB charger is connected, to name one), though the nightly builds of 7.1 are better I hear. Think I'll give GSF a go if that is considered the most stable ROM right now - speed and stability are my primary concerns.
Guess the official guide is this one.

CM after N127 is excellent.

The main plus is the CM extras. It seems faster generally but scrolling isn't quite as smooth as GSF IMO. Battery life for me has improved as well since N127, it's probably not quite as good as GSF though however I think that's more to do with the .35 kernel GSF has. In regards to stability since 7.1 I've found it as stable as GSF.
Overall, I think they're both excellent in different ways. There is no 'better', it ultimately depends on what you want.

Thanks the feedback. I'm opting for stability, so I installed GSF. Very nice so far, I'll know more as I use it over the next few weeks.

Although I'm using GB Stir Fry, really missing CM and its extra settings. Actually the biggest and perhaps only advantage of GB, is its wifi driver. Even wbaw admitted, without it, he wouldn't even had considered to start developing the Stir Fry series.

Not having used CM, what are these extra settings? And for that matter, why can't the CM developer use the wifi driver used in GSF? Is it proprietary?

Probably because they haven't got the source for it.

Im trying Elitemovils rom right now but have been using CM7 for some time after a month of experimentation on other roms.
My initial comments are that its super smooth and everything works nicely.
He has even added a mod now to put power tools in the notification bar which looks very cool and is ofc super handy.

GSF works brilliantly for me and I'm hoping wbaw will be continuing to develop it here

Thanks guys, now I'm on CM 147. But there are some bugs: missing elements in some games, wifi doesn't come back on after the phone wakes up. But there are some workarounds

I currently have GSF Beta 15.
1)
Is there any reason to update to Beta 17?
Is the leaked kernel worth it?
2)
Are there still GPS problems in CM7 as it is working perfectely with GSF.

No MIUI rom will ever be bug free, it is a constantly changing rom.
Just look at the change logs every week.

I am on the same rom and loving it, what bugs are u talking about? I was on a lot of roms to include Darkys as well and MIUI is the most stable one for me. Had serious issues with latest Darkys. Reboots,chrashes and what not. MIUI is playing nice so far and is being updated every friday as well

Well for me at least sometimes settings dont stick i can et it to use the android keyboard and later it uses the swype keyboard instead.
The phone does not vibrate on incoming calls.
Network data sometimes doesnt connect until it randomly comes back (not a modem problem i have a compatible modem with the 850Mhz band which is what i need and its made for CM7/MIUI + i have tried many different modems)
the camera quality is a LOT better on darkys rom.
the data enabled setting itself sometimes turns off by itself.
those are the ones i can think of right now.

HOw to install

Found a guide nevermind. thanks for the input.

Galent-MIUI is amazing if you do a 100% wipe before installing it.
I've had it for a month and the only real bugs I have had were the ones the developers had admitted to. I'm running Twooey III now and very happy.

CM7.2 telephone app

Anyone know if the Telephone apk from cm7.2 will work on 7.1 based roms, I'd like to use it on inc deck until 7.2 gets official release.

It depends on if the Phone app has been updated (which it has) and if it these updates tie into anything else that has been updated that inc deck doesn't have. I glanced at it and didn't see any dependencies within the Phone app that would break it, which doesn't mean there are none. I also haven't looked at the inc deck ROM, so I don't even know if the two are compatible (Sense and AOSP are not, among others). You could always do a nandroid and try it out, of course.

What are you trying to add to inc deck regarding phone/dialer functionality? Personally I don't see wait till 7.2 is released officially. I doubt 7.2 stable will be any more stable than rc1. Hardly any more changes going in and I doubt any changes that will break anything or fix anything for us.
If it's the T9 you want then it's not actually Phone.apk in CM7. I think it's actually Dialer.apk you want to pull.

To be honest, I just want the t9 dialer, I've found other dialer apps like exdialer/dialer one don't really play as well as the stock dialer.

Do you guys want an updated ICS build, what kind?

Exactly what the thread title says...
As most of you should already be aware I have a gingerbread build that I try to provide something close to a monthly update on (plus or minus a few days). What I would like to know tonight is if y'all would like something similar with ICS?
Just like the gingerbread builds this won't have a lot of progression and I won't be trying to really create anything so much as compile y'all something (hopefully stable) to use if you so choose.
Assuming the answer to the first question is yes, do y'all have a preference for the build (cm9, aokp, etc)?

A release candidate of CM9 would be nice or if there's an ICS rom of ParanoidAndroid, then that would be great as well, I like having proper tablet UI for apps.

Every enhancement
the sg7 enhancement, linaro, supercharge, oc'ed kernal
and nothing else.
Base it on the least flashy ROM. I want to change, and add in things as I see fit, and I want the most basic version of android to do it from. I want it the fastest it can go, so all the enhancements and nothing else added in.

You can port sense rom to our Kindle???

All of the roms I have tried have these really annoying bugs. In the ROM I have now, the WIFI keeps dropping, even when i'm in the middle of a download.
If you guys can make a simple, stable ROM without all the bells and whistles (swipe left, themes, etc), that would make me (and a lot of other people) very happy.

With a little bit of tweaks I'm pretty sure we can use the newer JB kernel (they're both 3.y based but the newer one has the working charge indicator and screen driver.

This is sort of where I was already leaning; was considering basing something off of the loosethiskin builds that TWA was providing before cm10 but I wanted some opinions first as just like my cm7 rom I won't be the one running it (I'm using cm10 and it's going to remain that way)

No; others may be capable and or willing to do this. I personally don't touch binary ports; partly cause I don't want to and partly cause I don't know how to do binary ports (I haven't researched it do to the fact that I just didn't want to do it; source code for me)

I haven't experienced any of those issues but one thing I can point out is wifi issues are most likely kernel related; I'm most definitely not a kernel dev so anything I do will have something close to hashcodes current kernel (assuming it won't work as is)

Hi Sblood,
Funny, I was just thinking about this today, wondering if anybody that's capable is willing to take the time to do this. While I'm pretty much satisified with my JB rom, I really like ICS and I was very happy with twa_priv's CM9 builds.
I watch a lot of video from CNN and that's flash, the JB roms are finally giving me pretty good performance with this but I also like to watch video from ESPN and I haven't figured out a way to get that to work. With ICS, it prompts you to choose a player to watch the videos, like MX Player or Dice Player, with JB, it just tells me that the content is unavailable. That's probably the biggest thing I miss from ICS. I still keep a nandroid of twa's last CM9 release under a different gmail address and update any apps from Play Store every couple of weeks and then I OD on ESPN vids & Flash stuff, tonight I had 17 apps to update. LOL
For me, it's a tradeoff of JB Google Now for ICS ESPN vids and I'd rather have ESPN videos. So, if you could use twa's CM9 build as a base and hook in Hashcode's newer kernels, say on a monthly basis, that would be awesome & most appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike T

Sorry I've been busy and interest actually seemed much lower than I would have expected so it's been a somewhat lower priority.
I would still love to get it done (if for no other reason than we don't really have a stable/buildable version of ICS) but as it stands I've been having a few issues getting the ICS device repo updated to use the current kernel but I have been trying at least some.
I have to remind you it's the holiday season as well.

A good, stable, release candidate ICS ROM? I can see the appeal. I'd definitely give it a whirl. I'm starting to get tired of instability on a lot of ROMs.

That's a joke right; it's been 5 days since you asked this previously, it's still the holiday season and I haven't said anything in regards to something working so it must be I'm just not sure I get the humor in it...
Admittedly I probably shouldn't have created this thread til I had made some more progress but the goal was to find out if people were even interested in ICS in the first place. As I have stated this is still on my project list but let's be serious for a moment; how high of a priority do you really think back tracking to a previous version is? (I'll give you a clue: it's not).
I can tell you this; syncing cm9 and the old Kfire-Android local manifest for it doesn't build (and that's with the old kernel branch), it's not as simple as sync a bunch of folders and compile; I have to actually dig into the code of several repos to sort this out.
Lastly consider that my primary role is as a recovery dev; you know the term 'the plate is full', well I have a platter over here...
Not directly related but on the subject of recovery development; this is where most of my time has gone as of late.

I'd like to see an updated ICS but if it doesn't happen......oh well......I'll wait
.....when you hit the walls of sanity, you have no-where to go.....

Yea I'll wait too. And it was a joke. :c

How about a ROM with similar battery life as the stock Amazon one? Every custom ICS or JB ROM I have tried has not been awesome for battery life. Especially in sleep mode.

I'd like to see a honeycomb ROM that wold be pretty neat
