Heylo everybody
I hope by now that the Blade regulars know me. If not, well I've been a long time Blade owner and have continued support for the device even as others moved on. Now that I myself have moved on to a Nexus 4, I've decided to take to developing for the ZTE Blade in the hopes that this phone can come close to being the next development legend after the HD2. We're almost there after being among the first 2010 devices to run a stable 4.2.2 build and that's something considering that ZTE stopped support after 2.2
Though I still own the Blade, there are times when I lend it to a cousin to use and it is in light of these times that I created this thread. I am looking for somebody to work alongside me as a tester and moral support . I'm going to be upfront and say that this job has considerable risk because soft bricks can lead to data loss if you don't back up. Hard bricks are almost impossible but there's always that sliver of chance.
Requirements
- A ZTE Blade / Dell XCD35 / Orange San Francisco
- Regular Gtalk availability
- Willingness to flash within 24hrs notice
What we'll be testing
- My kernels
- My ported ROMs
How you benefit
- Early access to my works
- My eternal gratitude
- Eradication of flashophobia
I'll be keeping the thread open for a week in the hope that one of you is willing to give back to the community by helping me out as a tester. After that, I'll be forced to get the thread locked and move to MoDaCo.
Cheers and thanks for reading

Hi, XDA USERS
I gave you an easy way to root(using joeykrim root method) and booted CyanogenMod for the first time and the first to boot on a Samsung Galaxy S device ( broken until forcyctos came alone and helped speed up development) and ClockworkMod (mapping of key were wrong until koush fixed key mapping in recovery). That how started all that.
I am sorry, I started few drama that I didn't intend to. I am no longer developing for Epic 4G(I still have the device).
thanks,

This is a frustrating group. Everyone is a wise ass, everyone sees conspiracy theories, everyone thinks Sam/Sprint is trying to hide the good stuff. I don't blame you for taking time away. For every useful and intelligent post out there you have to wade through 100 crap posts. If you move on then the ratio will get worse.
I appreciate your words of rationality on these discussions, and the development you've done.
Thanks!

Yes, I'm gonna buy me a Motorola Defy. So I'll have official CM and MIUI (with ICS in future). But main reason are the ****y touchscreen and low ram.

Firstly, let me introduce myself! I'm pixdev (Jamie), web/game developer and one of the developers over at RA-Mod (I did the website).
What is RA-Mod?
RA-Mod is a custom CM7-based ROM designed to be socially-aware, beautiful, fast and powerful - yet simple to use. We offer a tightly integrated package, with a custom launcher, reworked UI's, extended device settings and a Software Centre called Pyramid, giving you access to the latest themes, tweaks and apps. Consider it CyanogenMod for the rest of us!
Why are you telling me this?
RA-Mod is currently being developed for the Samsung Galaxy 3 (XDA link), which I own. While working on RA-Mod, we thought it would be a good idea to expand RA-Mod to other devices and I remembered that I still had my first Android phone, the LG Optimus GT540, lying around somewhere...
I then messaged Dympy (RA-Mod founder), asking if he wanted a GT540 port - I think you can guess the reply...
OSSIM! What happens now?
It would really help me out if I knew who wants RA-Mod for the GT540, so I can judge if the port is viable or not. Before I even commit to the port, I want to make it known I have schoolwork etc., so I cannot guarantee ETAs etc. However, I'll try my best to get it out as soon as possible...
I haven't looked in the GT540 forums for a while, so I don't know the current state of ROMs on here. I understand there is a fully-working CM7 port - does anyone know if this is open to people modifying and redistributing (like the G3 CM7 port)? I don't want to tread on anybody's toes by using their work when they don't want me to. Of course, I'll fully credit the author(s?) of it

only difference between the 2 is cm version. miro's 7.2 and mur4ik's 7.1 and graphics performance

I hope you dont take this wrongly but, i feel, at least in this early stage, maybe you could collaborate with reb0rn3 and his team to get at least each of the hardware working? Maybe setup an irc channel? So then both of the team can accelerate their work and then move on to fix other bugs and optimize the build.
Im sure others agree too right?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Is it just for the n7100 or will this rom support the n7105? If it does support the n7105 I'll be happy to test it once I get my hands on one.
Lol... wrong thread.

Looks like LG is busy building 4.4 out.
I am searching for a beta that I can download and convert for ROM for us to use...
Thanks to Chippah for Droid-Life news post for pointing out article.
If anyone can read Chinese or figure out how to download the KDZ please let me know
We've known about this for a while now. The site is a pay site. The Rom is Korean. I'm not sure if it was helpful or not. I remember reading somewhere that it wasn't helpful for porting to other devices. Especially since this is a few weeks old and I haven't heard any more movement on it or any breakthroughs in KitKat porting.

I am sure it can be ported since release Korean ROMs were ported to to other G2 models without any major issues.

Sharing is caring...Isn't that the whole point of XDA...
If he was so worried about losing his job than maybe he should have not sent it out
If you want to keep it to yourself for whatever reasons that is fine.
I was just looking for a few files too see if the compass issue on the 4.4 builds could be fixed...
Can you at least post the lib, etc and vendor folders?

Pretty sure that'd not what the person who gave it to us looses his job because we sent it out thinks. If someone trusts us why break that? And no XDA does have a limit about sharing cause I'm using a ROM I haven't even shared.

+1000.. If he was worried about losing his job, he wouldn't send it it.. If u were to ask me OP,I personally think starfighter and whoever else has it doesn't want to share as they want the prestige of building the first official/unofficial ROM... It's not worth arguing with them.. It's hard to explain sharing to a 17 year genius ... I'm not gonna argue more as it will turn into a personal slugging match.. Back to work now..

I am willing to bet $100 he does not even have it but the only way he can prove it that he does is to post the file to verify
Some people are just like that. If that Korean site is a paid site and you need to pay for the download link than I will and post it up for all to share
It was hard to understand even with Google Translate so will look at it more tonight.

We are indeed working on a stock 4.4 build. We are running into issues getting it to boot. We've enlisted a few other devs to lend us a hand.
So why not post it up so more devs can try to fix it up? If you guys are going to post it anyway why not have others try too?

People tend to forget there are a lot more people with knowledge about developing and fixing roms. But most of them have a job and can't update a rom like Starlighter. There is simply no time for that. But they can help out fixing a KDZ base (Korean/verizon).
When it's available for everyone with knowledge it will be booting a lot faster.
