[ROM] 31/Jan r9: de-orangeated ROM for ZTE Blade / Orange San Francisco [eclair] [OLED+TFT]

[Guest StevenHarperUK]

This is something that keeps coming back up, yes the rom is rooted. run ADB shell and type 'su' and see what happens...

Just to check Seb : is the superuser app available in the APP drawer?

I tried su in terminal emulator, "su: permission denied"

haven`t tried adb shell yet since I left the cable at home, is that needed? Market Enabler and Adfree both works fine on Paul's 2.1 r4

yes it is

[Guest Sebastian404]

Thanks again seb :) there is an error on your change log it has r6 twice.

Ah, well spotted, I'm going to blame the flu :)

I will download the terminal and give it a go...

[Guest lpinho]

Hi Sebastian, I used your r6 rom and it was great!!!

Do you have any plans to add a2sd to your roms? I had to install the rom from modaco because of this (I had a few problems when tried to add it later, my fault, I'm sure).

[Guest Sebastian404]

I will download the terminal and give it a go...

The one thing I have noticed is that the MD5 on my remote server does not match the one on my local........

Still looking into it.

[Guest ZforZelda]

another minor prob: when touch-scrolling a long pop-up menu (like the one of browser -> Menu -> More), it turns totally black, anyway, when my finger left the screen, it turns back to normal black on white again

    Which version for me

    This ROM now comes with a fat addon, the Fat addon contains the LiveWallpapers, CooTek TouchPal keyboard, and ZTE Apps (Alarm Clock, Filer, FM Radio, Notepad, TaskManager), and by request the test applications.

    To install the fat version, download both files and apply them to your device using ClockworkMod, use the addon zip second!

[Guest Sebastian404]

Market Enabler and Adfree both do not work for me

Ok,

I've re-uploaded the files and checked the MD5, a couple of times, I even downloaded them and flashed them to my phone.......

I'm 99.9% confident that they are right now.. anyone want to try again and let me know?

ZforZelda,

if you run SuperUser, click on Settings and then pick the bottom option on the list, does it say your SU is upto date?

for the version i'm running, it says "Checking available version failed"... might be the great firewall here in china... anyway the second bottom option says Superuser v2.3.6.1

the MD5 of the rom i flashed is 64996253e24c9f7f0f770d7565218474, what should it be now?

v7 fat addon I get md5 of 7C0DA713CD692D4139C999B819750363 (downloaded twice, it's the same). Doesn't match the md5 in the first post.

Thats the right MD5... the best thing to check is the MD5 on the server

Has anybody already tried to enabled hardware acceleration?

I read that artefacts might appear, but as Angry Birds is lagging sometimes, I am tempted to enable it.

=> Any experiences?

[Guest der_low]

How to Setup Microsoft Exchange Account (Mail and Calendar) in this ROM?

Can only add Googlemail accounts.

[Guest NorthernNoel]

I don't think Exchange was in the original ROM.

My SF appears to get a blue bleeding effect on dark colours with this ROM. Anyone else noticed this? It's a TFT btw.

[Guest heavyduty00]

does this have apps to a sd card?

DANCING IS FORBIDDEN.

I think it's just a joke, haha.

[Guest kuna_lesni]

great rom! (user since r3)

fast and clean, no bugs as always, thx Seb! Superb work!!! .... but the new market iduno :)

[Guest AstuteSoup]

Sebastian, just tried the r7 release of this/your ROM and my initial impression is a positive one. However, I have noticed that the standard email application (com.android.email) has been omitted. I can only assume this was an oversight, which is why I am bringing it to your attention.

My only other (very minor) criticism would be the inclusion of the GlobalTime app, I personally don't think this adds anything of value, certainly not enough for "lite" inclusion. However, whilst on the subject of time related applications, I think the AOSP DeskClock app would make a worthy addition, if only for its alarm functionality.

Keep up the good work, it's very much appreciated.

edit: I am also experiencing the menu "blackout" bug as described by ZforZelda.

Complete noob to this and hope somebody can help, but every time i try to install Sebastians rom on clockwork mod recovery all i get is E:Cant mount /sdcard. Any ideas?

Cheers.

[Guest fillo]

hi folks...

successfully installed the r6 mod to an OLED Blade last week, all is well.

bought the wife one for xmas, but this one is a TFT model.

the way i got the new rom on the OLED was to first put it on the sd card, and then install it from there. i just want to know if this is a safe method for using on the TFT.

basically:

- download onto sd card androot;better terminal;2.5.0.9 clockwork;r7 mod (lite & fat)

- navigate to sd card and install androot and better terminal.

- Open Androot and root phone with 2.5.0.9

- open better terminal and begin installation method of r7

is all this going to be compatable with the TFT version of the blade?

thanksfor any help/advice
