Will this be via SDK, CM9 or AOSP?

Cm9 but I dont have the device so it will basically be a copy of the skate port with the correct libs.

Hope i don't sound like a moron asking this, but is this 'Crescent' another name for the SF2? I'm about to recieve a SF2 for unlocking and debranding (for a friends son), and would be keen to find out if i could slap ICS onto it, as an added bonus

Regardless of the answer, kudos for being so rapid onto the Port. Lot of people will be very grateful

Yes it's another name. A better name is Blade2 which is what ZTE uses in their kernel source.

I don't think ICS would be a good idea for your friends son at the moment. ICS for any devices except some Samsung devices are very much alpha right now.

Woof! Rapid answer! Thanks, and yeah, good point. TBH, if i can hand back a debranded and network unlocked Blade2,i'll be happy. I've told my friend i'm confident it can be done, and will result in a fully featured phone. I'm still rocking my Blade 1 and CyanogenMod Green V5 (kernel version 2.6.32-9 Android version 2.3.4) and loving it. Will be interesting to see the Blade2 and see if it's worth swapping

Hey Tilal, any update on progress?

[admanirv]

Leave him alone he's working on the skate version LOL

THe man is a legend!

I`ve used both of these so far and currently using the latter one.  The Crescent is brilliant and easy to apply.  But the Fish N Chip one has more features built in, again easy to apply.

Crescent.zip
Fish N Chips ROM (Flash and BBC iPlayer working, Nemus built in, other options)

Their are a few other ROM options too but as I haven`t tested them I left them out of it.  The above need the correct kernel file flashing straight after the ROM flash, before the system is restarted.

I`m looking forward to ICS too but will wait until its produced and tested by more knowledgeable users before I try it.  Certainly some good stuff on the horizon including OC in another post when one or two little problems are sorted.  I`m dead happy with this phone and all the choices, so glad I got it now.

tilal, is there anyway you can do the same with your skate CM7 release?

[tilal6991]

This is coming soon - my next release on the Skate will also be created for the Crescent

[PsYcHoKiLLa]

Great! Thanks!

[Russ_uk]

Looking forward to it!

[Reider59]

Also watching the outcome of this....  Thx for doing it.

Because you guys are epic - http://www.mediafire...h69m6k83dzm3yqv




Hi Tilal,  I know exams are looming but your ROM is eagerly anticipated here!
  
Does the above release for the Skate mean we are close to getting one for the Crescent??
  
Would really appreciate an update.  Tx!!

[MCZQ]

It boots with the correct kernel, but dont get excited just yet - Everything needs fixed I wish I could figure out the fixes required for proper touchscreen support as its sort of like a ghetto mouse pointer at the moment(Touch screen working much better!). ICS looks great though, now I am excited!

Fixed:
Touchscreen
Wifi - I am THRILLED about that.

Broken:
Everything else

Will you be uploading a build for the Crescent  (namely the SanFran2) too ? You did state...

tilal6991 said:

Yes but my schecule has changed since i published that. Right now i dont have enough time to do that. In a couple of weeks i will have time and ill make a build for the crescent then.

So looks like we'll be getting a working, if not perfect, build of ICS in a couple of weeks then  

Hope so, getting a bit pissed off with all the other ZTE phones getting all the attention when ours are brand new,more powerful and would probably suit it more

PsYcHoKiLLa, I second that emotion!!!    Having upgraded from the Blade I have been surprised at the relative lack of choice of ROM's for the Crescent,      tilal - we realise that you have to prioritise your imminent exams over ROM development but you will understand  that we have been patiently waiting since your post of "Coming soon!" on 29/11/11.   I (& I'm sure others here) have been following your work with interest & admiration & also a little envy.  We are just feeling a bit forgotten, so any progress updates will be much appreciated.  Looking fwd to hearing something in a couple of weeks or so.  In the meantime I hope the exams go well for you!
