C3C0, on 31 January 2013 - 03:32 PM, said:

Prerequisites[/u]
- ROM fits on 200MB system partition including my stripped gapps package

Installation instructions
- Download ROM, Gapps ZIPs to your SD card
- Boot into clockworkmod

- Advanced / Wipe dalvik cache
- Mounts & Storage / format system (just to be sure)
- install zip from SD card - choose ROM zip

- let it settle for couple of minutes until media scanner finishes its media scanning job. Otherwise UI might be a bit laggy.
- complete google setup and press Home if there's blank screen instead of launcher showing

Respect and credits go mainly to Tilal and KonstaT for doing all the dirty
work to bring JellyBean to ZTE devices and the whole androidarmv6 project team, Paranoid Android team, and all the others
involved. Special thanks to daemond for great patches solving the remaining issues (sound routing, HW VSYNC, video playback, ...) ]

Known issues
- no Camera flash
- no Front Camera
- no FM radio
- no bluetooth
- no Voice input (because of armv6)
- occassional graphical glitches during window animations in Browser app (might be in other apps, too)
- no thumbnails for recorded videos- launcher home screen not showing at first boot - press home button to fix- and all the others I forgot about or haven't came across yet

Good job

[cramhead]

keep up the GOOD WORK!

[iharrybao]

still wait for the next version of cm10.1

and good job!

SF2 version up (untested) but should work just like vivacity version

[OuahOuah]

Why no "voice input" ?
All other ROM are compatible with voice search or voice input, like when I send SMS, I can use my voice.

[gbosh]

Oops, little error on my side, the voice input works just like with all other jb roms.

[abs0]

Just installed on my SF2.

Very happy with the result - gmail & browser working well.

Count one happy camper

[WorldWarrior]

P36V is working fine for me.The pie menu is clearly awesome, I can go in "expanded desktop mode" and get as much ergonomy as before with a cleaner screen . The phone part is working well.
But I regret certain things although :
-The loss of the 'system' menu in parameters, I can't edit some function like in the PAC and CM10.1. More over the 'Advanced' section doesn't start :/.  And the stock music player is somewhat buggy, but I don't care. I miss the ability to take a screenshot from the 'System menu' and customizing it of course.
Hope you could solve thoses 'cause I can't wait for the 'advanced part' . I love your work I will post some screens later.

[C3C0]

You can take screenshot by pressing volume down and power button at the same time.

I've recently ported circle battery style from CM. I even managed to hook it to PA per-app coloring so it follows the color settings.

Nice one, C3C0.
Made a build right away, that I am currently uploading (p736e)

[C3C0]

Here comes another one that makes Ticker text in status bar follow per-app color settings.
In Phone status bar for now. Tablet ticker will be next.

Is there a way to disable the radial menu at the bottom? It keeps coming up when I try to use my dock.

[Typhus_]

It's good to see some new 4.2.1 development besides daz's work.

Thank you for all your work.

Keep it up.

What do you mean? As the OP states this mostly is the same device config

[Typhus_]

Looking forward to that! To change ya title, go edit your first post, then click full editor...Job done!!

[cramhead]

I noticed there are no ringtones or alarms or notification sounds.
I took them from here

and place them in
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms/
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications/
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/
/sdcard/media/audio/ui/

then reboot

Anyone know how I can get toggles in the notification pull down?
