Odd behaviour

[Guest jamesrl]

Hi all

I got my Orange SFii last week. I followed this help guide http://sanfranciscoandroid.co.uk/android/how-to-debrand-install-a-custom-rom-android-4-0-from-scratch-on-the-orange-san-francisco-ii-zte-crescent/ to do the unlock and debrand.

I used the Fish and Chips Rom Release three, as of the link. All worked ok with it except that when typing it would not put the text in the text field, but it would she the key had been pressed, and the dictionary field would come up with suggestions. Also would not type in browser.

I went back to the stock rom as per the link with the kernel .

With that I have the following issues: The phone wont stay switched off and the gallery app fails (process com.cooliris.media) has stopped unexpectedly

I went back to the Fish and chips Rls 7. The typing issue was still there and the phone was not rooted, when I tried to calibrate the battery and use Titanium, so I have again gone back to the stock roms above

Do I always need to install the kernel as I see not many have it as part of the install?

It also seems to remove the Clockworkmod

Thanks
