Only today I was saying "There's not really gonna be any more upgrades for the Blade"

It lives on!

[Ogami Itto]

Nice surprise for the supposed end of the world
Once again, many thanks KonstaT, I'll definitely give this a try!

[herzblutnord]

Like all above... not really expected ... .

This does make me wonder tho, how much work(time) did this cost to realize  ?

anyways, great job KonstaT. I'll be downloading some rom now

If I had the device... Selection of available non-Nokia devices is quite small here in Finland. Blade III is actually one of the very few bargain devices available here (costs ~150€). I'm still eyeing out availability/pricing on Nexus 4 (currently unavailable, costs ~600€). Not much dev work needed on a Nexus so Blade III might be a fun dev toy anyway.



Sure, I already did that some time ago. Use with caution, I can't guarantee that everything will work as it should. I lost all my apps once and I haven't used it since (I was messing with multi-user support at that time so it might have been something related to that).

Rename .zip -> .apk.

Konstat I have a suggestion for a cheap device for you: http://www.gsmarena....ot_997-5165.php . It has better hardware than blade III.

Amazing. I cant never believe how is it possible to make our blade so good phone! Will try immidiately! Thanks KonstaT

Konstat, if people chipped in together to get you the £40 Alactel OT-983 (1ghz broadcom chip), 512mb ram, 512mb rom, 2gb microsd would you make a custom rom for it? It comes with android 2.3.7. I'm sure someone could post it to you from the UK.

[kr0m]

For me Its the most fast rom ever. Thanks KonstaT.

[sssingletrack]

No way! I've got a Huawei G300 for christmas and you bring out 4.2.1 for the blade!

[vNa5h]

[ZTR]

Great news for our old Blades!

[android@sam]

Just for information, in order to unlock the hidden developer menu,you will have to tap on build no. 7 times.

Well it has been told that HW decoding/encoding is not working so no, it's not working, but i didn't try it.
EDIT: Youtube app is little buggy, wasn't on CM10 and video is HQ are laggy, not enjoyable.

It has a Mediatek chipset. I know there's some dev tools for that platform but it still means that you'd be stuck hacking your stock ROM. CyanogenMod (or any other AOSP based ROM) won't be possible without source drop/support from the chipset manufacturer.

Only true options are Nexus-, Qualcomm- and Texas Instruments OMAP devices thanks to their open code databases (AOSP, CodeAurora and OmapZoom respectively).

Don't buy Exynos if it isn't a Nexus (there's an interesting 'saga of being an Exynos dev' at Entropy's G+).
Don't buy Tegra if it isn't a Nexus (what Linus said about NVIDIA also applies to their mobile strategy).

With all the other chipsets you'll be pretty much stuck on official updates and stock based ROMs (only exception I currently know is Ainol tablets with AMLogic chipset).

I won't accept donated devices. There's always a possibility that I can't deliver what you're asking. What I wrote above also applies here. Even in the best case scenario you'd be stuck hacking your stock ROM and I doubt ICS is possible before you get an official update.

KonstaKang - (Y) thanks a lot on behalf of blade users. Just stop all your work and make this ROM perfect.


and well I've a question if anyone can answer, i will be grateful.
I use AOKP CM9 ROM for my blade and as still there is no native WiFi tethering, we need to install some app for WiFi tethering, and I did, and it worked too.
but hotspot made by such apps have compatibility with wifi apps like AIRDROID, it doesn't detect the hotspot so can't use it. Please help me out.

[blindclown]

Very nice job KonstaT!! I'm following your work since 4.1 and I'm very impressed with what you do. Thanks for keeping the blade alive!

Could anyone please tell me what are the advantages of CM10.1 over CM10 for our Blade?

What is supported for Blade in CM10.1 from Jelly Bean 4.2 Changelog --> http://www.android.com/whatsnew/

Whether photosphere and gesture typing is supported in this ROM?
