It came to my attention that from the 16th of April 2011, the future cyanogenmod 7 roms (much more stable and faster ones) are going to be for Gen2 devices only and there's a non revertable way to partition your device to Gen2 from Gen1 and you won't be able to use Rom manager to easily flash rom but a rather dangerous way of flashing roms through bootloader. I would request the devs here to port those upcomming roms to Gen1 if possible because i still believe that there are more people using Gen1 roms then Gen2.
So it is clear that Modaco devs are working for Gen2 only. If any dev is interested please make a move and port thisfor gen1.
All kind of comments are welcome !
I have nightly build 41 working on gen1, go back to the forum, some guy has a cm7 unlocker for gen1
Indeed CM7 universal converter but you have to delete some stuff from the rom to fit into the 128 mb partition (gen1). As the OP of that thread mentioned that if you delete bootanimation.bin and Rom manager.apk, you can flash it.
But i wouldn't prefer flashing N41 just yet as it is still too buggy and worse of all, the accelerometer lags.
This thread is out of date, now there is simple way of converting to Gen and back. Check the thread on modaco, method is called. TPT

Ok. This is my 1st post in blade section. Hi everyone..
For the past 6months i have been using htc wildfire. It was the only low end android option when i purchased it back in november. Im not much satisfied with it because of its qvga display, lack of gpu, apps support, games support, video recording . So recently i sold it to my friend for a decent price. Now im thinking of purchasing a new phone.
My options are zte blade (dell xcd35) and spice-mi410.
At the moment i can get the dell xcd35. The features im upgrading as i think are 600MHz processor (msm7227 with adreno 200gpu), wvga hdpi, video recording. Few questions on blade..
1.What is the maximum overclockable frequency. Is it stable at that with custom builds.
2.how is the battery life.
3.how is the music play and video play. If possible let me know the max video specs that can be playable (in terms of fps, resolution, bitrate for H263 video.)
4.What is the maximum video recording capability (fps, bitrate, resolution)
5.linpack score at stock frequency and max overclock frequency.
6.I will be mostly getting gen1 xcd35 with 256MB ram. Can i unlock the ram to 512 .

Finally can i expect a great difference between wildfire and blade.
And the 2nd phone spice-mi410 is a kinda experimenting. It has great features but dont know about the quality of hardware and service. Moreover i need to wait to get it. Also at the moment i feel putting more price on a phone is not satisfactory since they get outdated much quick (like for wildfire). So, what do you recommend..
Thanks in advance..........
Depends which ROM you decide to use, I am at 600mhz on CAE 2.3.4 Mod, but with Cyanogen you can reach 710hmz Stable.I get around 36 Hours with frequent use.The cameras awful and yes you can unlock the extra RAM, I also came from a wildfire to the blade ive never looked back it wipes the floor with the wildfire!
I'd say so. The screen would also be a big upgrade.
now it is in my hands (the DELL xcd35). Purchased it 6hours ago. I'm pretty much satisfied. Btw I got 512ram and froyo by default. So i think it is gen2. Lot games to play. And wanna keep the stock rom for a while before flashing a custom build. Everything is pretty much satisfactory except the absence of flash player.

If you want Flash there's a ARM v6 version floating around, it's not perfect but it might be better than no Flash at all if you really need/want it.

And is there an index thread in blade section. I cant find any.
I wanna overclock my stock rom at the moment. Which kernel do i need to flash.
And is JIT enabled (either by default or can it be) in stock 2.2 rom gen2 version.
How to enter bootloader mode or fastboot mode for gen2 dell xcd35 (for the purpose of fastboot flashing).
If i need to use the TPT flashing, which tpt should i choose for an INDIAN GEN2 DELL XCD35.
Thanks in advance...

I think it plays the HTML 5 ones but not the Flash ones.
Check MoDaCo for more info.
Not sure which kernel exactly, you could try one of the Swedish Spring ones (Check MoDaCo)
JIT should be enabled by default.
Volume Up and Power at the same time to enter the bootloader.
You don't TPT if your phone came as Gen 2. Keep it as is or use this: http://android.modaco.com/topic/339...re-to-a-stock-or-windows-upgraded-gen2-blade/

I tried volume up + power. Also tried volume up + menu + power but cannot enter the bootloader mode or fastboot mode.
I checked this link given by u. It says fastboot is disabled in stock gen2 whereas enabled in custom gen2. So I think I need to flash custom gen2 tpt. But I will learn bit more and then decide whether to flash it or not.
Btw, I rooted and installed rom manager. Then installed cwm recovery 3.0.2.7 I think. Now I'm on cyanogenmod, the latest nightly.

Ah yeah, I forgot that it's disabled on Gen 2 Stock ROM's.
Glad you have CM on it now. How are you finding it?

I just know the nightly links for wildfire (codename buzz) . Once I enter the download page, there is device selection on the left side from which I can download for blade. And I knew Google apps package is universal for cm7.
I always like cm7 for its customization and performance. Awesome rom. I love this blade a lot over wildfire. Im very happy. Beats wildfire in every aspect. Also surpasses many phones like LG optimus p500.

because they are meant for cm try ones from swedish snow or the rom itself it is based on stock 2.3.5
Moved to General. Please post in the correct forum.
Cheers.
i installed SwedishSnow RLS7, but there is no sim working. No signal, not connected radio. When i switch to airplane mode ON, it becomes inactive and i cannot swich it off. When i recovered via cwm back to official 2.3.5 and tried to recover the boot from SS (because of unlocked kernel), it freezes at ZTE logo. So the official does not work with SS kernel. I am so unhappy

Have you TPTed your phone to gen2? Have you an IMEI? (Look in settings). I have read something on modaco where if a gen3 phone is tpt to other gen, it will loose her network (basebande probleme?) But im not very certain...

Currently in the GB stock rom the IMEI is present. Pigfish says Gen2 - sold with Froyo, thats true. I only want to use an oc kernel, not whole custom rom, because they are not fully localized. This phone uses my wife and she likes our native language. I use a huawei u8800pro and the speed difference is huge. I hope that 100 mhz up helps her a little bit.

You got a T-Mobile device? The original (Gen1) T-ROM is awful, hiding the half of RAM, try to make Gen2 - if you have T dev, use the T's .exe updater. All ZTE Blade have 512MB RAM.

Word to the wise. Posting your email address on a forum is usually a bad idea. That being said I dislike the "best" idea for a rom/kerne/app and will ask you to not make threads to that regard. I will not lock this thread because the ram inquiry.
As a Android phone user.
It will be hard pressed to get ICS running on 256MB of ram. My i897 runs on total 512MB (~390MB as usable ram) 1Ghz cpu (200mhz bus & GPU) OC'd to 1.392Ghz (232mhz bus&GPU) and its no where as smooth as a dual core phone. I can't imagine how a 256MB and 800mhz cpu would fair with ICS. Like everything it will probably run but how well?
I have tried ics on my Idea Blade (256mb ram). It is smooth but lots of FCs. Not stable at all. The launcher always restarts when i return from an app. Had to revert back to cm7.

Switch off your mobile. Then press home+volume up+power button combination while restrting the Idea Blade mobile. Then you will be in CWM Recovery screen of Idea Blade. From there you can take backup of your current stock ROM. It worked for me.
Greetings XDA,
I have a ZTE Blade/DELL XCD35, camera 3.2meapixel.
The problem it is facing is, the new KonstaT roms are for 5megapixel camera. Whereas my phone is 3.2mp. Whenever I open the camera app, is takes too long to respond and finally ends up with an error "Couldn't Connect to camera".
The official cyanogen mod 7.x is fully function with the camera too. but unofficial cyanogen mod for blade are having camera problem.
Is there any fix/patch for it, or I have to keep my phone with wreck camera?
or can any of the developer make a ROM which works with 3.2mp camera?
-Regards

The camera works fine on my Dell XCD35. I'm running KonstaTs cm10.1
I've found the problem, the real problem is the TPT I've used is for 5mp ZTE blade, has a camera driver named ov5642.
I'm also on the same version of your ROM.
CAN YOU PLEASE SAY WHAT TPT U'VE USED?
I used v10f from www.amphoras.co.uk/downloads/
If I flash the same TPT of yours, the problem will be solved :thumbup:
