Can't get past the set-up wizard it's stuck in a loop of endless force-close (using latest version of this rom)?

Any suggestions?

Is it possible to upgrade to Simple Fry from GSF without data wipe?

There isn't much point in continuing with this particular rom now that CM7 has the .35 kernel, new wifi driver & 16bit patch.

CM7 is now better in every possible way & it's a proper community run open source project. GSF was only meant as a stopgap until the .35 kernel source had been released & integrated into CM7. I only made it because I was annoyed about the wifi being killed when the screen was off in roms using the old wifi driver.

Also, official zte android 2.3.5 has been released & nobody noticed for nearly a month

And finally, Ice Cream Sandwich may be coming to the Blade very soon.

So, I'll be doing what I can to help improve CM7. I recommend everybody upgrades to CM7. It's way ahead of this rom, lots more cool features, fewer bugs, now the ui is just as fast (with 16bit hack) & the wifi works properly (thanks to the .35 kernel & new wifi driver).

I'll leave the links up here for anybody that still wants gsf, but it's become outdated, it wont get another update & I recommend CM7.

... add to that the latest CM7 stable was released yesterday and I'd say that there's no reason not to jump to CM7 from now on. (Back up all apps first.) I've had as good an experience with CM7 as with GSF.

CM7 is full of shitty stuff... If CM was clean as GSF, mmm

I agree! But it took me 2 minutes tops to remove all the excess baggage (ADW Launcher is the main culprit.)

Use the Stock Gingerbread Launcher that's available in the Market for free and hey presto, a vanilla Android experience.

Hi everybody!

I have one reason to stick with GSF / SSF:

The ZTE Dialer, which displays my contact groups. Without the dialer, I only know the apps Go and Youlu, which display contact groups. But they display ALL my 1000 Google contacts, causing great confusion.

I only want the selected (tagged as My contacts) ca 200 contacts from Goolge to display on the phone, divided in the groups. And only the ZTE stock dialer does that, as far as I know.

Is there a solution?

Star them all and then sort by Starred Contacts only?

[elrond_bs]

Can anyone please post working link to Simple Stir Fry b26 Full.

Also I would like to know if it's possible to flash the old kernel from b26 to b27 and if this will fix the "green LED always on" issue in b27??

Thanks in advance.

I wonder if there will be a "simple/lite" edition of official Libra 2.3.5 ROM?

Installed CM7 (224 AFAIR) , tried for a coulpe of hours and went back to GSF b27, which is still the best OSF ROM to me.

thanks, but that would give more trouble. I have only about 20 starred contacts, saved for this special group

Hey all,

Sorry it's been a while since I've last posted, I've been trying to create a Simple version of CM7, and it's presented a lot of hassle. I'm also here to deliver yet more bad news - I might be moving away from the Blade in the near future.

Although the Blade's been a nice handset in terms of software to be on, I just miss the way a quality handset felt, like my old HTC Diamond (although the software was terrible).

I also, after using a family member's iPhone 4S extensively, and WP7 devices, find myself feeling that Android lacks the slick smoothness that both of these alternatives offer (even on high end phones such as the Sensation). As a result, I'll be switching to either an iPhone 4 or a Samsung Omnia 7 when I have the cash available.

Sorry for the bad news again guys, depending on when I choose to switch I might release a Simple build of CM7 (if I can get it to work) or Libra Gingerbread if I get the time.

As my Blade's power button and USB port are beginning to fail, even though it's an OLED model, it's not for sale, so please don't contact me about this.

Best wishes,

Matthew

[Pierreism]

Thanks for the ROM Matthew! I'm sure it'll power many Blades for months (hopefully not years! upgrade asap, people!) to come.

Also I'd heartily recommend a Win7 device now. With Mango it stands toe-to-toe with any other OS in my opinion.
