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 <- VERY IMPORTANT
• 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.

Partially Working:
USB tethering - Use an external app - Koush's "Tether" should work
WiFi tethering - use other apps
YouTube - laggy - use JetVD and MX Video Player for smooth playback
Hardware video decoding - choppy + laggy but working
Very occasional reboots

Not working:
Camera
USB Mass Storage

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?

It might help me.   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.   Unless this also uses burstlams kernel in which case I'm awaiting TomG's alpha 7 I guess!

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

some Leaked screens would be awesome!

[Maxsas360]

Hell yeah!

[JimJam707]

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

[tilal6991]

Yep.

Any release dates???
