This is my port of ZTE Blade ROM - Swedish Snow - originally made by KonstaT.

I am releasing this ROM with kind permission from KonstaT.

The basic ROM itself is 100% working including all subsystems thus is suitable for daily use.

Kernel was built from KonstaT's blade kernel sources that I have reconfigured for Skate.

-volume key cursor controls. Volume up/down keys can be used as d-pad left/right when in text fields. (thanks to azuwis)

KonstaT released new version of ROM today.

New features look to be amazing. I will wait for some time for any potential bugs to be sorted out and then

make a Skate port again.

RLS5 changelog: 6.3.2012

-completely re-wrote the ROM settings and few of the features

-added checkbox preference for long press back key kills foreground app. Delay still three times normal.

-added checkbox preference for volume key cursor controls

-added statusbar software keys. HOME, MENU and BACK softkeys with long press functions. (thanks to CyanogenMod)

-added checkbox preference for statusbar sofkeys. You need to reboot your phone for this setting to take effect.

-added framework patch to support MVNOs (mobile virtual network operators). I'm not held responsible for any roaming charges. (Inspired by leromarinvit)

-added checkbox preference for MVNO roaming. This equals ticking 'national roaming' box in CM7. You need to reboot your phone or use airplane mode for the setting to take effect.

-added swipe to clear notifications. Individual notifications can be cleared by swiping them to left or right (thanks to CyanogenMod)

-added VOLUME UP key works as shutter button in camera app. Pressing the key focuses and releasing the key takes the photo. VOLUME UP key also starts/stops recording in camcorder.

-kernel with overclocked GPU and AXI bus (thanks to wbaw for the patches)

-updated Maps and Youtube

-updated Google services framework

-removed flashlight

-tweaked TCP buffer sizes

-fixed some portuguese translations (thanks to jventura and HeartMode)

I think this is a very good rom,excellent battery,stable,and you can use the cool themes from the blade...For a daily driver you can't go wrong here.I love all the ics & ice armor stuff,but you can't beat a good old solid gingerbread rom with no problems.

Looking forward to RLS5.

RLS5 has still some issues to iron out. It looks like there will be RLS6 soon that will deal with those issues and contain additional improvements. I will wait for this one to port.

Hard to tell, really :) Everyone prefers something else. The best way is to go and try yourself and decide what suits you best.

Swedish Snow has more features than Skatie but on the other hand Skatie has update kitchen running on web.

You should collect your own cons and pros you will find while trying both roms and then decide yourself.
