Just installed "CyanogenMod-7 for ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco) :: V7.0.0-RC4 (30/03/2011)"
Firstly, many thanks for making this great rom. Instructions very easy to follow, even I could do it (my first smart phone, only had it 5 days so yes, it’s all very new to me).
Anyway, can someone please help me? On my old Orange rom, when sending a text (which is what I do a lot of) my “send to many logo” is missing from the CM7 rom (see pics). How can I get this back? It's driving me nut!

Rebooting and Battery usage
My zte with CM7 seems to use alot more battery than the original ROM i had. anyone else?
It will also reboot when the battery is lower than 30%. anybody know why?
The current CM7 rom is faulty, don't flash it....i'm also waiting for a more stable one. This rom is not so reactive to accelerometer so if you play games such as doodlejump, it won't work so don't flash the rom, instead you can flash this froyo, it's quite fast as well ! FLB froyo R11
Gen2
Hi All
Just flashed my Blade to Gen 2 yesterday and installed CM7 Gen2 .
On previous CM7 Final Gen 1, I had reboots and freezing on boot screen but
have had no issues since the new installation. Plays games very well.

Edit: Just upgraded CM7 to 7.0.2 and on reboot phone was stuck on boot screen and had no arrow
to swipe nor would menu button work other than to put phone in standby. Had to uses stock recovery to get cm7 to load and now
cannot get beyond the the Droid screen when trying to restore/backup. Will not enter clockwork recovery no matter what I try.
Can load CM7 basic but no google apps and unable to load gapps because I cannot enter clockwork recovery. Can any suggest a way out.
Use rom manager to install the latest clockwork mod

So what's best for now: staying Gen 1 with CM7 v7.0.0 or turning into Gen2 and get v7.0.2 ?

HI
Thanks for the reply but I have tried to download the latest ClockworkMod via Rom Manager and the same thing happens it tries to update and then freezes
on the droid screen. I can't get to the market as I cannot load gapps because
of the lack of ClockworkMod recovery. Catch 22 time. Any other suggestions greatly received.

Hi HCDR.Jacob
Me again. Have just found out why I cannot load ClockworkMod Recovery or any other recovery. Ran Androot 1.6 andgot reply, when I tried to unroot - Not Rooted.
So I ran Androot and got the following "Rooted - No - Fu - Goo". Yet Balde is running CM7 . Question is now how do I root the blooming thing or is that a no go?
Please advise.

Edit: Have found possible fault is corrupt firmware. I s there any way to flash the firmware on the Blade to original state and if so how?
Google for no fu goo m8, it's a very common response and can sometimes be solved.

Hi
Thanks for that but info garnered no where near to solving prob. Managed to find z4Root and ran that and it informs me I am still rooted. Problem is that I cannot access ClockworkMod Recovery and rom manager is stuck on 3.0.2.0 and will not upgrade to 4.2.0.0 which is the latest as far as I can ascertain. Do you know of any way to get ClockworkMod back onto my Blade so that I cam upgrade CM to 7.0.2 and get google apps back.

I just upgraded my ZTE Blade to 7.0.2 using the latest Rom Manager (from 7 RC3) ... now my Blade just keeps booting only showing the Droid Logo for about 4 secs and that loops forever. I wasn't aware of any Gen1 vs. Gen2 thing. And am still not sure what this exactly is.
Is there anyway to fix this, or is the device bricked?
Any ideas? Any help is VERY MUCH appreciated!
Thx.

Just gave you a possible tweak on your thread but please don't just splash your problem onto the other threads, as this is most likely to create confusion. If somebody can help you, he will answer you in the right thread: the one you opened.
Also a first look at similar topic or a quick search would have avoided this kind of situation. Even the first guide for flashing a custom ROM on the OSF clearly states a warning on the Gen1/Gen2 thing...

I wouldn't have cross-posted if the topic wasn't CM7. Maybe it stops someone to make the same mistake -> see below.

Didn't know about the site and wasn't aware of the Gen1/Gen2 issue.
I wanted to show a friend (iPhone owner) how easy it is to update the firmware using ROM Manager over a beer and simple downloaded CM7.0.2 using ROM Manager, not being aware of any Gen1/Gen2 issues...
well EPIC FAIL!
So, thx for the url and won't be crossposting again.

I've installed this ROM (CM7.02Nightly57 + CWM 3.0.2.7) yesterday, but having some troubles:
- the battery is duying very fast
- the pulldown menu can not be pulled up easy in normal mode. When in landcape it works nice, but when in portrait, it is stuck in the bottom, and you can pull it up after several times, or have to press back button
anyone has issues like this?

Autonomy issues have already been widely reported for 7.0.2, most people I have read from went back on CM7.0 stable because of that.
For the menu, this might be a new issue. Perhaps check on CM7 forum to see if it has been reported yet and whether a fix has been found yet.
hi,i just bought zte blade, rooted, installed cwm, upgraded to gen 2 using tpt method, and installed CM7, stable 7.0.3, also tried RC1, latest nightly and a few random nighlies
and my problem occurs in all of them.... auto rotate isnt working... IT IS TURNED ON in sttings,tried to turn on of tried to reboot tried to wipe everything tried factory reset nothing helps... and i see im not the first one with this problem but all of the topics started about this issue have 0 replies.. this bug is not stated anywhere in changelogs and in fact it makes CM7 unusable on ZTE Blade.. cause you cant always message and browse and do everything in portrait view... i heard its a kernel issue that every overclock enabled kernel on device upraded from g1 to g2 makes accelerometer or g sensor or w/e you call it stop working.. i really love cm7 and i bought this phone thinking im gonna use it on it and this issue is really frustrating please help someone.. please
Try another ROM like Swedish Spring or Ginger Stir Fry and if it still occurs in those ROM's then it's probably a hardware fault.
same hi
hi there, ive bought my blade 2 days ago, and got the same issue you are talking about, i flashed it to swedish and find out that auto-rotate doesnt work, so ive tried different kernel that should have helped, but istead blade didnt even boot, ive also tried newest CM7 with no luck...kinda desperate and confused that there are just few threads about this and no real solution, thinking of going back to stock froyo, but iam afraid of bricking...if u find any solution write here or on email, ill do the same if i find one, thx
New Blades seem to have different sensor hardware. Try Sensor List from market and compare the results with this screen (from Orange San Francisco bought earlier this year):
db.tt/ms5m4i6
(can't post links)
yes your right, thats the source of the problem, my accelerometer is not the same as yours.. heres the screen tinyurl dot com slash 3tqv26o
now me and other peaople wold like to know if there is a way to modify kernel to work with this hardware... i think cm7 developers should be intersted in resolving this

if they really manage to get it to work that will be my uber happy day like when i had wildfire stock 2.2 and alpharevx came out

Can we calibrate those sensor?

Now Brian n the rest, there is no work around on it, tried changing different kernels without success, finally flashed cm7 n installed Ginger Stir Fry, its been 3 days n everything is fine, but remember u`ve already upgraded to Gen 2, so no need of Tpt install, just get the Rom, its also very good at preserving power. with problems hit me up on twitter @alexakams
i also use Ginger Stir Fry because AutoRotation dont work with cm7. its a clean and fast rom, but Elitemovil Blade_Rom is also an option.
Hi,
I've successfully modded my MS2 yesterday using (walter's?) "ms2ginger-rc2". It's been quite easy - I expected it to be much more difficult.
Unfortunately it's impossible to add accounts (app crashs). Therefore I plan to roll back to the sysbackup Imade before with Clockworkmod and to re-mod it with a newer/ better/ more stable variant.
Can you suggest one that you are happy with? I am fine with Blur - it can be included.
Anything to keep in mind for the rollback? Just revert to the backup via the bootloader?

Meszi.

i have tried CM7 and was before using it on BackFlip, but on Milestone 2 i am really loving MIUI its great ROM.
The problem is as i saw no one who is maintaining these CM7 or MIUI rom is not Dev, so i kinda think Milestone 2 can perform better with some optimalisation for it. The reason is as far as Stock Froyo was slow, CM7 and MIUI did not show kinda speed progress or increase i guess it is performing same as stock ROM or maybe little but only little better, on BackFlip there was really dramatic speed change on CM7 but the dev around BF was more active then on Milestone and i am happy with what we have already.
As far as I know, the MIUI is the latest one. But that's just because endles7's ( the guy who is porting CM7 to M2) phone is bricked at the moment.
Both, CM7 and MIUI are great ROMs, but, at least for now, if you're looking for the newest one, then MIUI is the one for.
I believe that CM7 will be supported again soon, there is a movement on the forum to buy endles7 a new one if his is really bricked forever.
I'm using MIUI because o like the interface better.
Hope it helped =)
Upgraded to "ms2ginger 1.1" but still problems with accounts management
Hi,
I reverted to Froyo, reloaded the backup I had done with Clockworkmod, made an app backup using Titanium and re-modded the device to "ms2ginger 1.1". But still there is the same issue with accounts ("Konten" in German): When trying to add an account the app crashes.
I am fine with the rest ... it works far faster than with Froyo.
Is there a way to get accounts/"Konten" work again? Probably by finding it in the Titanium backup and taking the old app or by (re)installing some working .apk?
At the moment I am still very new to this topic ... until last week I still believed in the myth having bought an "unmoddable" device.
I'd try CM7, too ... but if it's possible to have it done with "ms2ginger" I'd at first prefer trying it that way.
Any suggestions?
CU,
Mészi.
after trying cm7, i really prefer MIUI Rom on A953 !
but Cyanogen team will soon release a 2.3.7 Rom ... so we'll see !
Switching from MS2Ginger to CM7 Nightly
Sorry, if it appears to be a dumb question. But at the moment I am still very new to this topic and want to avoid bricking the device by forgetting a thing when switching from "MS2Ginger 1.1" to some CM7 ROM...
When reading the installation steps of the nightly build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778)...
*START copy&paste*
[How to Install]:
1. Download all in one update.zip
2. Make sure you have CWM3.x/4.x working. Or download from here.
3. select all in one.zip then apply update.
4. double wipe(if you are coming from previous CM7 version,just wipe cache/dalvik)
5. For CWM4.x, reboot and done.
For CWM3.x, download fixed-sbf and flash it. Then done.
*END copy&paste*
...it's not plain to me if I needed to switch back to the official Froyo or if "updating" with the all in one.zip and wiping the data would be sufficient to get rid of the previous "MS2Ginger". :-/
Any recommendations?
CU,
Mészi.
Do you try with "RSD Lite" software to put the stock Rom ?
and then you do the update to the custom rom ... no brick with this method i think ! but i'm not expert sorry !

That's the question.
If it's not necessary I'd directly load the CM7 ROM using CWM.
But, anyway: As long as I can access the boot loader (PowerOn + Cam + VolDown) I could still revert to the official Froyo if updating to CM7 directly would not work.
I think I just give it a try...
CU,
Mészi.
exactly ... i was afraid last friday while updating my stock rom for MIUI ... my battery goes out !
all day i was thinking that my lovely Milestone was bricked ... but with "rsd lite" i re-install my original froyo ... and then i could re-root it and put the miui version !
last version is perfect ! just the problem of keyboard layout but there is a script who put it back to azerty ...
have a good luck for your update !
++
So you would recommend downgrading to the official Froyo at first? *somewhat confused* :-/
Sent from my MB953 using XDA App
... i don't really know ... just said that for me that was the only way to rescue my bootlooping m2 !
normaly you can update from any rom, just don't forget to clear cache, "dalvik cache" too (don't remeber the name) ...
the best is to do a factory reset before rebooting too ... but it's not always necessary ... from miui 1.09.23 to miui 1.10.8 i don't have to do it ...
they don't talk about it in the related post of your rom ?
Ok, thx. I am gonna just try it wiping the cache and overwriting the ROM. ROM switching is not relly described in the MS2Ginger HowTos. *g*
Will post my results here...

Problems with CM/ Nightly
Hi there,
I am half-way about to throw it away again.
I installed EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0.zip and then EndlessCM7_update_from_111001_to_111004_v1_5.zip and it appeared to work fine.
But I had to recognize an instable Market app, WiFi cannot connect to my access point and the camera app crashes reliably after starting it.
I will post this in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778 too hoping that these are known issues with known solutions on it.
If anyone of you knows I'd be glad if you threw some suggestions at me.

O well....
For me, MIUI is workind perfectlly, without any problems.
And, my battery life increased alot with the latest build of it
So i would recommend it.

Hello,
I got an HTC Nexus One with Android version 2.4 , the OS is having lots of issues such as Camera doesn't work and everything is very slow.
Now I was trying to ROOT the cell phone with Universal Androot and it supports only v2.2 , I was wondering if anyone can recommend me a way I can get my HTC Nexus One back to v2.2 or some alternative which works on Android v2.4.
Thank you very much for helpers!

If you're new, then start reading the wiki first. Then search.
Dude... the first thing you should do is a software update. the 2.37 is good enough for almost everyone, unless you need "more"
2.3.7 isn't official, you have toi flas cm7 toi get that .i'm currently running this rom.it's fast and solid

There are many new custom ROMs available for NexusOne.
I hope your device is rooted and as you said you are new to Android, I would suggest you to have gingerbread version of MIUI i.e 2.3. Its very statble and organised.:good:
Google it.. you'll get all stuff..where to download and how to flash it to your device.
Thank you very much for all replies guys,
but seriously I did try reading from the wiki what I could but it can never end... there are so many things to read it can take me weeks so a specific answer could be great.
I was trying to flash my cell phone a new ROM although all the ROMs I tried just never worked.
I tried MIUI v4.x and it just stuck on loading screen.
I tried MIUI v2.x And it keeps loading the OS and then do a restart over and over again , like a loop.
I tried some others and nothing really worked.
Currently I'm using the restore I had before I started to try Flashing ROMs and everytime I have my phone started it shows me some lock sign and then when it loads all my other applications get opened too and it's killing the battery, even when I try killing processes they get opened again after a few minutes, not to mention my camera doesn't work too. I am really lost and quite disappointed.
like someone said... android 2.4 doesn't exist. and as far as i know, camera works in ics and jb
try downloading a passimg.zip, then put it in the root of your sd card. then boot to hboot by pressing trackball and power button, then sellect bootloader, then follow the instructions. hope this helps

If I understood right you wanna install CM7.2. For that to work is good that after flashing stock ROM and installing 2ndinit to reboot and from stable recovery to format data/cache and dalvik on ext3 followed by flashing custom CM7.2 (I suggest you to try another CM7.2 mod).

I didn't messed with buttons lights, and still got 3 burned LEDs. The first to go was "search". A month after that, the "menu" button went dark. Now the "back" is gone too. Just "home" remains with light. I don't think it's a software issue... More likely a project flaw or bad manufacturing (I still use CM7, no tweaks).
Last week I also got a "stain" (a lot of bad pixels) on the center of the screen. Just turned the phone off and put it in the freezer for 12 hours. After that, it was new again (lucky me). Yeah, the famous trick works folks (unfortunally, not for the capacitive LEDs though).

I'm inclined to agree. It seems fairly common. My menu button LED failed when my Defy+ was around 6 months old and completely stock. I put it down to a hardware failure.
