CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME HOW TO INSTALL THIS PROGRAM ON MY PHONE I HAVE ZTE CARL I DOWNLOAD THE ZTE CARL VERSION ON MY COMPUTER .......WHAT I NEED TO DO NOW? HELP PLS

You must install Alpha 1 then alpha2.
1.Copy the rom (zip file) to the root of your sdcard
2.Backup your old ROM, so if anything is broken you can just rollback!!!
  How to backup:
  Press powerbutton and VolumeDown (leave volume down pressed). After afew seconds, recovery will open
  With volume keys, go to "backup and restore". Select that option
  Now select "Backup" and wait
3.Once backup complete press back button to go back to main menu
4.Select "wipe data/factory reset"
5.Go to submenu "mounts and storage"
6.Choose "format /boot" "format /data" "format /cache" "format /system" "format /sd-ext" - confirm every action
7.Return to 1st menu and goto Advanced and Wipe Dalvik cache
8.Return to 1st menu and choose "install zip from sdcard" - "choose zip"  and chose RacerMod 1.5 alpha 1 zip
9.After installing, do "reboot system now"

The phone arrived today, I'm going to start development again but my time is restricted because I'm studying for my university.

EDIT: I'm sending the phone to a local service center to solder some cables on the board for rs232 serial debugging to ease the kernel development. I tried this with my old phone but my poor skills ended up burning the board . So now I'm sending it to some professionals to be sure nothing goes wrong.

Great! Good lucky with that!

Wow, this rom is wonderful, very good. touch screen calibration, everything is great. I was disheartened by the discontinuation of the rom for the racer, but now I am happy for this project, thanks mikeioannina. My racer is now going back to breathe; )

[mikeioannina]

The cable is soldered on the phone, now I'm waiting for the rs232 usb adapter to hopefully start working on the kernel. In the meantime, I'm going to release a new version of RacerMod which will include the latest cm7 merged features.

[lfernandes]

Good news, tanks for still developing for racer.

[mikeioannina]

CyanogenMod stopped building cm7 few days ago, meaning cm7 is finally reaching its end of life. I will continue building cm7 until most major bugs are solved (wifi on freddo/carl, framebuffer). The only thing that stops us from going to cm9/10 is the kernel lcd related drivers, that's the reason I'm going to start development of a new kernel and hopefully we will have ics in the next few months.

[Raphael Machado]

Good lucky mikeioannina! And thank you so much for all your work!

[mikeioannina]

Hello guys, today there were some massive gingerbread merges in CyanogenMod gerrit. Maybe tomorrow I will release build 1.6 of RacerMod (check first post for changelog)

Is working in my phone!

[mikeioannina]

RacerMod 1.6 is coming finally today. Check the first post for a complete changelog before installing because there is some difference in the installation method for gen1 devices.

EDIT: I'm uploading the updates on my server now.

EDIT 2: Files are online, check my website for download links.

Hi...
My sister has the TMN SoftStone ( from what i read it is the ZTE Racer, right).
Today i made a Factory reset. i looking for a ROM and this is the most updated.
I have searched for tuts to root and install CRecovery and to root it recomends z4root. is this the best way?
For CR they sugest: racer-clm-recovery-2.5.1.8 and RecoveryManager_v0.37b. Are these the most stable/updated?
is safe to instal CR this way? (my first time flashing recovery was via Rom Manager and it softbriked my LG P500 )
After root and CR from what i understand it is needed to wipe the usual and flash RacerMod-1.6.racer.zip and after the gen1.zip, then Gapps. all this whitout reboot?
