ZTE Blade, good choice ? - Blade General

Hey.
I bought a ZTE Blade, in this case an Orange San Francisco, so far I'm very pleased with it, however like to know your opinion.
It's my second smarthphone and in this case since evolved i wanted something that would allow internet consulting, viewemail, use gsp, play some games and have some cool applications.
In other words, I wanted a phone that had updated in the market oh smarthphones
I chose ZTE Blade, I saw that had a huge community and it was a good cellphone.
I wonder if you think I made a good choice if you think is a goodmobile phone, even while already on the market one year and do not think it will be a mobile phone in a few months no longer pay ?
It will also be that this phone will allow to run android version 4?
PS: Sorry about my bad english :x

i find it a good phone it even plays high end games when used with applications like chainfire and pvervr for more gfx settings, you can run a ps1 emulator etc.
as for android 4.0 more known as ICS this phone has currently 2 versions being built one one modaco ASOP 4.0 and cm9 ICS
so yes ICS is being built for this phone by hard working devs mate

Zte Blade is low end android phone, have no flash. I had zte blade but i bought SGS+. If u want full experience of android games and apps you should have another phone. And is there really coming ICS to blade?? i think it does not run well on blade

i never said it was high end i just said it plays high end games with a few tweaks i am able to run gta 3 with no lag.
And yes 4.0 runs well on the blade. it even runs well on devices that were shipped with rom version 1.6

gta 3 with no lags how? even gangstar MV lags on my phone

Its easy basically i few graphics tweaks were done to the phone with the help of a few apps off the market
My Setup:
Zte blade rooted + custom rom cm7 nightly 257
Chainfire Pro + PoverVR were used for graphics tweaks
and the gta version i am using is the ripped version since it was modified in some parts

have u overclocked your device??

All the items you need are in the video description found in the link below to run gta 3 without lag mate. PS the video is not mine i just tried in and it worked great the only difference that i have from the video is the oc from 672 to 748

Chainfire3D on Optimus One

The Optimus One has the adreno 200 GPU which supports OpenGL ES 2.0 and meets the requirements for Chainfire3D. I have it running on my Optimus T with 2.2 and haven't noticed anything different when configuring the default settings. Nightmode works, but that's just about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
Warning: This replaces (from my understanding of the thread) an existing driver with a new one. It requires root.
I would like to hear back experiences from others who have an Optimus one and tried Chainfire3D.
It also requires a 1 ghz+ cpu. Try running a tegra game to see if it works. Don't know if they will even start... HDPI res required.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA Premium App
Tegra Zone doesn't render properly in HVGA but the screen resolution is not entirely the problem. Installing a game from it crashes the device, probably because it was never made to work with ARM11 chipsets.
Maybe it is/will be useful for something we don't know yet.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA Premium App
For me only pinball hd for tegra works fine... nothing else :/
Tried with guerilla bob thd, and a few other thd games. But chainfire doesn't work with those games.

Problem with Chainfire
I am using an Optimus one Myself and attempted installing this but not only did it fail to install I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and now it won't even open upthe app to allow the attempt of the installation of the codec. (basically I attempt to launch it, it fails goes back to menu, this first happened when I was able to launch the program and attempt to install the codec) Now my best guess if I had any is It's incorrect ROM or something. I'm not entirely sure I'm still getting used to this phone. Already rooted it and broken once thus fixing/reflashing. So I've learned a few things. But if someone better then me and I'm sure there are lots of you here could just point me in the right direction I'd be very happy person indeed. Also, If I'm posting in the wrong section I apologize I really suck at this forum thing.
Another odd thing I noticed, I was only able to oc to 600mhz when I've heard I could oc it to 1000mghz. Is this something to do with my rom?

Overclocking to 1ghz is not possible with optimus one...maximum stable clock speed is 806mhz...it seems u r on stock with root...in that u cannot oc to more than 600mhz...
use any other custom kernel...or simply use any other ROM...
LOL 1gHz on an Optimus One... Haha my O1 gets 806mHz tops!

I can run 864MHz on my phone and combined with the correct settings on chainfire 3d u can definitely notice a difference in gaming performance
Would the fact that Chainfire 3d is now not even booting also have something to with the fact that I'm running a stock ROM and cannot overclock passed 600?

I'm going to try out this talho rom and hope for the best.
I figured it all out. simple reading errors on my part as it were going through tutorials and whatnot. either way I got chainfire working just working on download GTa3 to see how it performs.
It worked for me a while ago on CM7 and oxygen, it doesn't need 1GHz+ and is no risk, reflashing the ROM replaces it
Just give it a go, but you need opengles line in build.prop

[q] gta iii ??

Anyone have already play gta III to milestone 2 ?
Because it doesn't work on mine.
thanks in advance
It's great work on my MS2(fw: UK 2.3.4)
i think will5 was saying it's really heavy on RAM so you might need a clean os install to get it to load.
I however never got it to boot even after celan install and killed other running progs before loading.
I wonder if playing with/increasin the vm heap size would let you load

GTA III was recently updated to v1.3, and performance is much improved.
You can also enter the PC cheat codes on the keyboard during gameplay ;-)
I am on the latest miui port and installed supercharger VI. After installing gta III it ran. I tried it with cm7 and it didnt even start. I dont know if supercharger helped. Now i need settings and tweaks to make gta run smoothly cause i do notice a tremendous lag.

Six guns for u8800

i install it today in my cell phone but the game is playing too much slow and when i saw it on desire hd it runs smoth i m confused that there hardware are the same but way the game dosent run smoth .
It runs smooth on my phone, Oxygen rom and 800mhz Cpu, when it has to much movement, sometimes has a bit of lag, but its a problem that its solved easily, just put the Cpu at 1000mhz, and it rolls just fine
what version of the rom is that u have
tell me the best version for the games.

I seriously hope that stuff gets fixed one day, its the reason why I'm staying on .32 kernel.

With the original ROM I played it very well and without lag. And now that I have put Aurora ICS ROM in my U8800 I can not even install it! In PlayStore says is not compatible with my phone!
Why?
Thanks a lot...

i guess u change your name build name in official rom and in ics u cant do it because if u do then your camera or other application will tear apart
Some fixes about games to play with
download orignal rom change every thing for example name and stuff like that and when u want to play first reset your phone and then play application and it will run smoth for me hope so it will run for u as well
Sometimes game musics&sounds don't play in this game. Completely silent. (Platform MIUI.pt 2.3.30.1)

Gaming rom

What is the best rom/firmware for gaming ?
In the ICS roms its reboot a loot.
Sent from my R800i
Stock gingerbread with DooMKerneL. Remove bloatware apps and stop excess services. Can't get a better gaming experience than that (though some say V6 supercharger helps)
Can someone give me the links ?
What gingerbread ?
Sent from my R800i
Stock is defintely what you want for gaming alright. I'd go with a stock based ROM so that most of the bloat is removed for you and not weighing down your device.
Something like JokaWild.
EDIT: by the sounds of it, you are going to have to do some research. Start by looking into flashtool.
Just noticed my above comment may have sounded condescending. It wasn't meant to be. Since you have flashed ICS successfully, I imagine you know how to flash a stock ROM.
From my experience Jokawild was the best gingerbread rom for gaming

What about for a R800x?
I have tried several different ROMS and not that these other ROMs are not awesome in their own right. But I always come back to my nandroid of stock Android 2.3.3
I rooted, then deleted all bloat in the system folder, and all the other apps that can be reinstalled to SDcard, map, talk, gmail, etc. I have around 180mb of free space according to my system/apps folder. I then used V6 Supercharger and set everything to aggressive with Nitro Lag. Now my phone is super speedy. I have no lag anywhere, all games play buttery smooth including GL games. I also am using DoomKernel by DoomLord and No Frills set to Performance, CFQ at 1.2ghz (dont like to OC too much just a tiny little bump)
And I also have a Sandisk Mobile Ultra 32GB HC-I MicroSD card. Was using a class 4 sandisk proir an this card was on sale on a camera site for $30, figured why not and got it, saw a difference with GL games as well, before they were smooth with an occasional slight stutter but now its all good.
Just found it, its $3 more then what I paid but still a great price and this card is awesome.

^This.
So, I'm using an ICS rom with the new Adreno drivers, and I get better performance on Fifa 12 then I got with Gingerbread. Is there a way to install the new Adreno drivers on Gingerbread?
I have tried most to all the roms as well and I will say I got the best gaming performance with the stock 2.3.3 rom (bloatware free) with doom's kernel. This had not only the best performance but also worked with most to all games.
I would of put 2.3.4 but gmail and google voice still wont auto sync. Once verizon decides to wake up then jump to 2.3.4. Hope this helps.
You will need to use flash tool (thread) to do all your kernel and FTF flashing.
Flash this: 2.3.3 FTF
Flash this: DoomKernel + Wifi modules (thread)
Boot up like normal and go through the setup. After that install titanium backup and start ripping out all that Verizon junk.
Install SetCPU and find your overclock sweet spot. Dont forget to set a profile to underclock you phone for when your batteries low. (I found that smartassV2 scaling gave me the best performance/battery life with a 1.6 Ghz overclock.)
This is for a r800x (Verizon)
That's pretty much what I did. I have the stock overclocked kernel, which isn't overclocked, but SetCPU is set to overclock to 1.6Ghz when any of my games are running.
Thread Closed, Thank You.

[Q] Custom Kernel

Does anyone plan to built a custom kernel for our s3 neo? Would be very nice to get a performance boost especially for gaming For example GTA San andreas, i know adreno 305 is incompatible with the game but maybe it would be more playable with an overclocked GPU? Thankyou for your hard work all of you developers for this device
i think it wouldn't make a big difference...
because the game itself is laggy on most android phones (lack of optimization, for example on an iphone much better optimized) , most other games on s3 neo perform very well so it's probably the fault of rockstar games. however that's my opinion
You are right with low Ende devices but in my friends devices with snapdragon 615 it runs 100% smooth all the time on highest settings everwhere, and Here it lags still with lowest settings. I know its incompatible, but maybe an overclock can make it run with more than 10-20 fps. I think GTA SA got more stable on most devices with its last updates. Unfortunately, even GTA 3 runs "only" good , not very good on highest settings, and GTA vice City even Lage sometimes on mid settings. Maybe you are right and it is Rockstars fault, but maybe an overclock can cause a slightly Vetter performance. Other games like MC5 and dungeon hunter run very smooth. Emulators like drastic and n64 Emulators also, and Ppsspp in most cases well. But it would be nice if wie could max out the performance. I know it will cause battery darin, but when gaming at home it doesnt matter. If i had the abilty to develop a kernel or anything for this device, i would. But i dont own a PC and dont have the knowledge
I searched for that bug and found that it's an Adreno 305 problem, for example the Moto G got a GPU update and made GTA SA run better. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721136
We just need someone to adapt it for our phone.
Yes gta san andreas that work smooth for our device...it would be a dream
Oh this would be very very nice if someone is able to port this
