[ICS] [CM9] [4.0.4] ColdFusionX for the ZTE Blade [ROM] [UPDATED - 28/06]

[Guest tilal6991]

This is a CyanogenMod 9 port for the ZTE Blade.

YOU NEED A 185 MB SYSTEM PARTITION MINIMUM FOR THIS ROM!

Rom Details:

• Android 4.0.4 - Ice Cream Sandwich!
• Synced with latest CyanogenMod 9 repos
• 2.6.35 kernel - based on ZTE stock Skate kernel
• Full HW acceleration makes it faster than Gingerbread

My sources:

• Device - github.com/ColdFusionX
• Kernel - github.com/CyanogenMod/zte-kernel-msm7x27

Thanks go to:

• Tom Giordano - being my mentor in developing for ZTE devices and basically being a general legend
• CM Team for making an awesome ROM base
• Skywave, Tom B and the rest of the ICS4Blade team - I, uh, "borrowed" a lot of their fixes
• sej7278 for continuing the builds while I'm away
• drewis and Evervolv team - they were the ones that led me to enable OpenGL acceleration
• The community - for testing and enthusing - I love doing what I do because of you guys

SEE SECOND POST FOR MORE INFO! FLASH ORDER:

• First: you should get the GAPPs and ROM and put them on your SD card
• Now FORMAT SYSTEM
• Then flash the ROM and any patches (if applicable)
• After this wipe data
• Then reboot out of recovery and let it boot into the ROM
• After you let it sit on the launcher for ~ 5 minutes then reboot into recovery again
• Now flash the GAPPs zip
• And reboot out of recovery
• The ROM should boot
• Let it sit on launcher for another 5 minutes to stabilise.
• If you still have problems post on the thread.

The thing ia I don't have the crescent so I have no way of testing a build I make for it. I've said that I will hwlp the guys there port it to the crescent but they will have to test it.

So, excuse my ignorance, but... why?

I mean, those are the same issues that the current cm9 build (and aosp build) have, so what good would it do to have a build ported from another (almost identical) device with the same issues? :mellow:

It might help me. :D ICS builds using Burstlams kernel (ie the newer AOSP's and obviously his CM9's) boot loop for me the moment i download anything in the market. The older CM9 alpha 5's are fine but slow. The new CM9 alpha 6 is fine but mp3's don't work.

So I need a new ICS at least. :D Unless this also uses burstlams kernel in which case I'm awaiting TomG's alpha 7 I guess!

[Guest adizz]

I would use this anyday if it has a smooth ui. Can't wait.

[Guest Cyclothunder]

+1 Can't wait

some Leaked screens would be awesome!

[Guest Maxsas360]

Hell yeah!

[Guest JimJam707]

Will this have the Open GL acceleration you mentioned in the CM9 thread? If so, excited!

[Guest tilal6991]

Yep.

[Guest saransh9]

Any release dates???

Colour me excited².

Waiting......:ph34r:

[Guest killkimo]

When can we expect?

[Guest tilal6991]

Not until the weekend at the very least.

[Guest killkimo]

Images are already in the ROM?
