[ROM][OLED+TFT] FLB-Froyo G2 for ZTE Blade

[Guest Qwertzycoatl]

Hi flibble, great to see you're back!! I'm running the initial r6 version but I made the fixes that were in r6a myself (notably the updated contactsprovider.apk and wifi file). Would that make it okay to update to r8a without wipe?

Cheers!

When I did that I got FCs with Contacts :P

Had to wipe and re-install R7 (current at the time) and it was all fine.

I would suggest you can try it but don't expect too much...pretty sure Flib mentions it in the 1st/2nd post about needing a wipe

[Guest Simon O]

If you've been using r6 with the contact fixes then you can install r8a without a wipe. I've fixed the latest contactsprovider.

[Guest wishmasterf]

i reflashed r8a. still the same problem. I seems that the gingerbread theme broke anything.... :-(

After reflash i seems everything works well, but after a while i get the error about com.android.vending again. Last ting i did was to enable enable sd-card for usb.

please help me. i dont know whats wrong. I've my back to the wall. :P

[Guest davelong]

I think that when R6 was out it was suggested that it was best installed via recovery manager as opposed to a manual flash from clockwork, is that still a recommendation or can I just flash from clockwork this flash for me will be a full wipe/clear flash.

Facebook 1.5.1 problem on Saunalahti Blade!

"Cannot retrieve the notifications. Please try again later. [Connection reset by peer]"

Rarely it loads the notifications. Most of the time it just gives the error again and again.

r6 also had this problem if Facebook updated to 1.5.1. With 1.5.0 no problem. Can this be fixed or is it possible for me to downgrade to 1.5.0 somehow, even though I guess r8 comes with 1.5.1 installed?

Good thing is that taking a photo directly with Facebook app doesn't crash the camera anymore and cause an error message. So taking photos directly with Facebook app seems to work with r8.

Flibblesan, just a small issue: The power control widget that comes with this version of launcher2 does not show an option to enable/disable data, only synch on/off.

Apart from this, rls 8a works great - no slow wifi or gsm signal dropping! great work! :P

[Guest toge64]

just went to r8a without a wipe from my upgrade yesterday - hope this is right!

[Guest petryk1]

Flibblesan, it is fantastic. Thank you. :P Peter, Slovakia.

[Guest adamguest1985]

Thanks for the fixes. Top stuff.

Any way to add a contacts button or menu item in the messaging app, appears I need to type the name or number rather than selecting the contacts option and clicking someone like I have in other Roms?

Cheers pal.

Ok the problem seems to appear if i install the gingerbread-theme for r8a... thats bad. i like that theme...

No one else with that problem?

[Guest Steveharr]

Can the r8a Slim version be used with Clockwork too?

Oh I think I know whats causing it. I'm using a script from Paul which replaces some icons in apps. One of them is the market.

/system/etc/init.d/80vending

If you're not that bothered about the icons being changed then you can remove the scripts from the zip before flashing.

Sorry they are causing problems for you.

Update: Uploaded a version of the theme pack without these scripts.

Great ROM, best I've tried on the Blade yet.

[Guest johannes140]

flibblesan, could you edit settings.apk so that the power control widget has an option to turn data on/off (this is standard in most 2.2 roms). i also have the problem adamguest1985 described, there is no "add contact" to a new message option.

thanks for your hard work, it is very much appreciated :P

[Guest]

Well I've reverted back to JJ9 and ... have the same issue. Was fine before - so I guess my phone is screwed. 2G only gives a full signal. Anything else barely gets a signal. Neither gets data.

Off back to Argos tomorrow. :-(

Yeah roms seem to fluctuate between having a sync or having data toggle. I'm sure one I tried had both in a row of 5 - would be great to get data back :P

Not a feature of the stock messaging application which I'm using. You would have to install an alternative application or use a version from another rom that provides that function. The whole point of this rom is to provide a stock experience without any silly customizations that ZTE etc put in place.

You could select a contact in the contacts app then select the messaging icon to send a message too?

that would have been Sebastian404's de-crossed r2 - it has both toggles activated.

[Guest mantokoski]

GSM/WCDMA call settings didn't work. Network or SIM card error. But then I simply "called" *43# to enable Call waiting, after that all the settings magically began to work :P

[Guest adamguest1985]

No worries, with regards to the msg app, if I pulled the file from another 2.2 (jj perhaps) is it likely to break anything elsewhere in the ROM?

I'm assuming I can just replace an APK (will look later) in the zip?

I'll upload a replacement.

Edit: Uploaded the de-crossed version instead as it has both sync and data toggles. So does everyone want the current settings app replaced with this?
