Guest Maringer Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) I've no experience of development but the comments about Google apps specifically failing to work makes me wonder if they have been deliberately borked. With the Great Firewall of China still firmly in place, is it also reasonable to think that the authorities there might force ZTE to cripple certain aspects of the ROM to ensure Chinese users definitely can't access some of the Google stuff which might make them become corrupted by our Western decadence? :P Edit: Yep, what droidhed said ^^ Edited October 20, 2010 by Maringer
Guest Stephen Hyde Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 the google apps issue ill be examining later today (just got in from work so quickly having a play tryingto get phone working then going to bed
Guest Paul Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Nice work peeps! Time to take another look at the Chinese ROM. :P P
Guest prufrock Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Need some sleep now. But you guys might enjoy this :P Except that's the SGS on 2.1 - Froyo's officially out for the SGS now, so expect to see it at the top of the list. :D :D

Guest Paul Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Sweet, I have all the Google stuff running on Froyo now. :P P
Guest Skerved Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Sweet, I have all the Google stuff running on Froyo now. :P P Great! :D
Guest rjm2k Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Looks like it's going well! When all this is tidied up and working is it still worth using it to form the start for a CM6 port?
Guest Sebastian404 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 OK guys, I've removed my copy of the ROM, since Im sick of getting messages about how the phone part does not work, and how its not as fast as someone else's build. I only publicly announced it because of the 'excitement' from this thread, but clearly that was a mistake. I'm sure Paul or one of the other guys will be along soon with a release that works. Should we be able to get a dump of a retail device (or Orange put out a 2.2) I might revisit this.
Guest Paul Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Doh! :/ The phone part doesn't work on mine either. :P P

Guest Spooke Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Woah this is pretty awesome, those benchmarks look incredible :P
Guest Skerved Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 I'll up my build in a bit... P Paul is used getting bashed at. :P
Guest HugoQueiriga Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Paul is used getting bashed at. :P lol made me laugh!
Guest hillmie87 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 oh awesome,I woke up this morning and I saw this thread. Been reading every single post. And that benchmark is sweet! Too bad i wont be able to contribute to the development of the rom. :D anyway, nice work indeed guys! :P
Guest fluxcapacitor Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Presumably the reason the phone part doesn't work is because the Chinese model has a CDMA radio instead of gsm?
Guest Sebastian404 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Paul is used getting bashed at. :P I've been out this evening, for a very nice late night surf/swim, and come back to 2 (or 3) guys who'd between them left me over 50 messages about the fact 'my ROM' is not as fast as another ROM they don't have and how the Phone part does not work. One of them was demanding to know when I was going to fix it as it was 'damaging his eBay business' he' had already sold handsets with the promise of 2.2.
Guest jimmy2x2x Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Incredible work guys! Any chance of someone running a NeoCore benchmark please? I'm drooling here :P

Ouch, the sf does seem to have attracted a new breed of n00bs! Just ignore/block them if you can.
Guest oh!dougal Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 ... come back to 2 (or 3) guys who'd between them left me over 50 messages about the fact 'my ROM' is not as fast as another ROM they don't have and how the Phone part does not work. One of them was demanding to know when I was going to fix it as it was 'damaging his eBay business' he' had already sold handsets with the promise of 2.2. :P Really, I think a little bit of publicity for the individuals concerned might be the way to minimise this idiocy! However, looking on the bright side, you now know why its a good idea NOT to put contact deta in any roms you release. That said, might it be a good idea to put something in there to discourage commercial use? Subject for another thread perhaps. In general, I think it would be perfectly acceptable to have heavy-duty moderation to "keep spectators off the pitch during the game".
Guest HugoQueiriga Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Hilarious! Now imagine how many I get. :P P Can we get a prize if we guess it right? This is like jelly bean in a jar counting ! lol

What a complete tool! I know NOWT about development lads but I'd love to learn. Any pointers as to where I might start/get more info/books/videos etc? Thank you ALL for your time and effort. If I can help in any way let me know (I doubt I can but the offer is there). Now get a flamin move on will ya? :P :D Edited October 20, 2010 by Blasphemous
