Latest/ best current Ginger Mod for A953?

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?
CU,
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* :-/

... 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...

Worked w/o any problems
Hi there,
I just "updated" my MS2 from "ms2ginger 1.1" to "EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0" without any problems.
I can only recommend to check the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778
Thanks for your replies so far.

happy to see that it worked !

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.
CU,
Mészi.

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.

Hi, Michael:
I'd like to have my MS2's battery improved like you said and enjoy Exchange server support as well . Do you know if MIUI rom supports it?

MIUI has Exchange server support and works fine.

CM7 for Idea Blade users!

Good news for Idea Blade users. The CM7 Rom by Burgerz found here works on our phones perfectly. Camera and touchscreen issues are fixed and the Rom is FAST. I'm using it now, you might want to give it a try
Cheers!

Thanks for handing out the information mate because i was getting lots of PM`s about that reason and i could not give a clear answer.

No problem

hi,
Tried the Rom on my Idea blade and camera gives error. the same error as other versions of CM7. "cannot connect camera"

Format all your partitions from cwm and try flashing again

hi couldn't download the rom from official page, could you please upload to mediafire thanks.

I Have an Idea Blade. Had problem with both camera and touchscreen in CM7.1.0. Yesterday i tried the CM7 Rom by Burgerz. Touchscreen is working properly but still can't use the camera. The same "cannot connect camera" error appears.What are all the partitions should i format? I've formatted data, cache and dalvik partitions. Still the problem persists.

Some newer Blades have different hardware which needs different drivers to work. As ZTE doesn't release the source code for these properly, the current roms won't work properly on all of the newer versions. If may be possible that someone can fix it, but without ZTE releasing the sources it will be difficult for them.

I'm running this one from Burstlam and really like it. I prefer it because Burgerz's using and older (and plain) launcher. Camera works fine also.

You might want yo PM the dev about it. I had similar issues on CM stable but not anymore. Also you can give a try to LewaOS and other Chinese roms. They are based on cm7 fot the V880 which is what idea blade is.

I also had the same problem with CM7.1. Formatting the cache and data partitions might make the touchscreen work (worked for me). Even though you format the partitions, touchscreen will stop working after the phone get into sleep mode and you have to format the data and cache partitions every time the touchscreen stops responding.
I have heard that Libraginger works fine on ZTE-U V880. But the download link seems to be broken. I am working on CM7 Rom by Burgerz even though camera is not functioning as i feel it is much stable and lesser buggier than official ZTE rom.

Even i had the same touchscreen problem when i installed MMHMP on my idea blade. All i had to do is restore the stock rom which was working fine and then i again installed MMHMP and its working fine.

Any method for custom partition in idea blade?

What is a Good Rom for this phone.

What is a good rom to run on this phone? I have tried a few and can't seem to find anything that works with out issue. I tried the latest SlimRom which I liked but It doesn't allow me root access. So apps like titanium backup don't work I've tried I think its OEO or something of that nature and it was ok and I don't care for CM11.
I am using the stock rom that came with the phone I think that is ICS

I have never found a more functional rom than mhous33 dst stock or the avistralia deodexed mod.
All the cm, pacman, aokp...... never work FOR ME in all the capacities of stock.

About TiBu, I have always found issues with it.
I use recovery advanced restore to move apps.
You can move your stock data to both the dst & avistralia roms.

They do have use to you because you would find the info you're looking for, if you take the time to read them.

I tried out SlimKat and it seemed ok but i really don't like how little they made the fonts and the screens in it. Some of us older people need bigger. I also had to flash the SU binary update as its not added to it. I tried out the beta 2 edition. After my data resets I plan on trying the DST one that was also suggested. Sometimes not having home internet sucks.

Serious issues with my i9506

Mobile freezes a lot, almost 4+ times a day. nothing responses and i have to reboot it to use it again.
Video recording always have a bad sound quality.
A lot of apps crashes and launchers too.
Over heating (but not much i can do about that i think)
I been using CM11 for long time and i am gonna try to upgrade to CM12 now. all i want is a running CM version with exposed framework.
So please help me fix these issues

Problem with wifi on d802 with official cyanogenmod 13

Hi guys im new on XDA...Actually I follow xda from time optimus one but I never registered on this fantastic forum so now it is almost 6 years that i use xda. OK go back to my problem .... After a clean installation of the CM13 on my g2 all works fine but there is only one problem with the wifi...Wifi connects and disconnects without any reason and it is annoying someone can help me or have a fix about this. I apologize if I have not posted in the official thrade rom (mean on the official post of CM13 ) but xda limits the possibility to post on developer post until they reach at least 10 posts . Best regards and thanks in advance

Hi, i think you are experiencing that problem, becouse not everything is fixed and stable since this is a rom in a alpha stage, and yes i have that problem too on the 13/12/2015 nigthly installation. I recommend using cm 12.1 for daily use until cm 13 gets more stable.
Bests regards! I hope i could help!

When I using cyanegonmod 12.1, I have a obtaining ip adress bug. i can't solve this now I'm using cloudyg2 v3.3 (I'm sorry for my english)

So never mind right now I stay with this little problem untill a new fix, at least I'm not the only one with this problem... By the way thanks all for the help
