If you use this guide and it works, please give me a post so I can see that it's doing it's job and also so that it stays near the top of the fourm.

It is a great work, I learne more about the rooting and installing the new custom ROM, thank you so much, i will reserve this post for further study.

Update

Hi Everyone - I feel that I need to warn users about some people having problems with clockwork 2.5.1.3

I have reverted the guide to suggesting you use 2.5.0.9

The Latest Clockwork is causing some users problems.

This is no disrespect - I just feel that its best that new users try with the most stable version available.

Steve, I think there is a mistake in the list of Eclair ROMs. The BladeVillain 1.1.0 ROM is based on the Hungarian ROM, and has the option to switch off mobile data in the Settings; something lacking in the French ROM.

In Freekers Customised BladeVillain you do list it correctly, and this is only a customisation ;)

Hi

Just want to say a huge thank you for this guide. I had absolutely no experience of this sort of thing before but now running the modaco r4 rom.

I had a few problems though, i followed the advice and used ubuntu but when i got to the end of stage one it wouldnt recognise that the phone was plugged in so wouldnt reboot. I got round this by using windows for stage one ( after lots of hassles with loading drivers and 'wating for device' messages)and ubuntu for stage two.

Im now going to have a look around the forums to figure out what to change next!!!

thanks again.

Hi

My brother tried to install FLB froyo on a fresh-out-of-the-box TFT screened (grey) sanfrancisco yesterday

Didn't go at all well initially, getting locked into a reboot cycle

Cleared the cache and factory settings in clockwork and reinstalled FLB froyo and it went ahead and booted up happily

Seems quite stable at this point

Just our experience though - others may vary...

Many thanks for the detailed guide.. this is something I was looking for here.

Btw the link to the older Clockwork downloads as text not an image; i.e as garbage... any chance of getting that fixed ? Cheers

Hello,

Newbie here :P

Just bought my ZTE Blade (Optimus San Francisco - Portugal), and updated to 2.2 with the rom found here (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-android-2-2-froyo-on-zte-blade-orange-san-francisco/)

Quite some bugs, including rooting not allways working, screen dpi's 160, and can't install flash 10.1.

I now realize that maybe that's not the best rom to use... because I found this thread ;)

Can you plz advise me on what ROM to use? What are the benefits? What's the best? I want the rom already rooted and size 240

ps:

2 aditional questions:

* there are some apps that I don't want, like google talk, and I Can't install them... how to fix that!?

* to move cards to SD card, i need APPS 2 SD, or it's just native with 2.2?

many txs!

The latest ORANGE UK TFT phone is the one that is having problems with exisiting ROMS.

If the 2.2 is working good for you (the screen works etc) then your ok.

You can Root any Current ROM with the universal ROOT tool, so don't let that restrict you.

You have 3 choices for removing apps you dont want

1. Use titanium Backup to remove them

2. Use ANdroid Commander t remove them

3. Unzip the ROM BEFORE you flash and delete the /system/apps/*.apk s you dont want.

I cant suggest what ROM s good for you sorry.

BTW the ARM6 chip in your phone will not run full Flash - you can run Flash lite on most of the 2.1 ROMS

txs for the tips.

I installed Universal Androot, is the same that universal ROOT tool? because it's not working OK... I have to keep rooting it, and sometimes it fails.

Every time i try to download Flash Player 10.1 from market, like AppBrain, i get the error "the requested item could not be found". Any tips on this?

I'll try the apps to remove programs... txs!

anyone to suggest a ROM ? ;)

cheers,

HiMem
