Guest kalderista Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I would love to try this rom but after installing and rebooting it just sits at the green android man and does nothing. Thought it was just taking longer to boot up as per the first post so left it for apprx 35 minutes and it was still stuck on the android green man screen. Thought it could be a problem with rom I had downloaded so re-downloaded tonight and tried a reinstall and that fails to even install (the rom that did install but hangs at the android man i downladed on 3/1/11 and is v5a aswell). Any ideas why its not working? Try to wipe cache partition and data. May be you forgot it... it happened to me, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What version of Clockwork Recovery did you use to install the rom? Do you have a TFT or OLED device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simon O Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I just installed this ROM and now I keep getting this every couple of minutes "Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" any ideas? :unsure: Not without some information. Did you upgrade from another rom or a previous version of this rom? What version? Did you wipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buboleck Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Well everything works very good, but battery life is very very short. Full to 20% for about 8-9h. I tried to install Pauls MoDaCo Custom ROM r4 but installation failed with error something like "board does not support mtd" so I'm now afraid to try anything. Please share some info if I'm doing it wrong going back to 2.1? How to get back properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked the MD5? What version of Clockwork Recovery did you use to install the rom? Do you have a TFT or OLED device? As far as I can tell it downloaded ok and installed via clockwork recovery 2.5.1.8 (which I had to install via the alternative method from here) Its the OLED version and the MD5 checked out ok when I installed it.

Guest buboleck Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Battery life is short thanks to the latest Google Maps application. I mean no offense here, I just need the phone usable longer. What about the "flashing" back to 2.1? I applied your rom without problem. May be I should install " ClockworkMod recovery" again?

You will need to wipe data and cache first though inside clockwork. I know you didn't mean any offense.. I'm just fed up with the Maps application itself for being a battery killer.

I was using Paul's old r4 before I flashed to your Froyo. I had cleared the cache but nothing else. I've done a factory reset now which has sorted the problem although I've lost all my SMS messages B) Thanks for the ROM anyway I'm going to have a play with it now and see how it goes :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simon O Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) 2.5.1.3 Install 2.5.1.8 as this supports the older setup method used by 2.1 roms. http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...overy-oled-tft/ Edited January 5, 2011 by flibblesan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nedmundo1 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I think this is now the nearest I'll get to a ROM thats perfectly for my requirements. The Maps issue is beyond the devs control, but everything else on mine works swiftly and without any hiccups. It'll be interesting to see if there is any advantage with the official Froyo ROM is released. Keep up the good work FLB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lineage Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hi, it seems to have a problem when I tried to use facebook photo upload, it keeps at 0%... Otherwise the rom is PERFECT!! Thanks a lot for the great job. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sensory Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Just wondering, why does my 3G data connection icon in the taskbar show up with the letter 'H' instead of '3G'? I tried it on two different themes (Desire Slate and Gingerbread) and they both use the 'H' icon. It's only cosmetic, so it's not a problem.. just curious. Keep up the great work! P.S. I don't notice any battery drain because of the new Google Maps update. Nothing out of the ordinary battery-usage-wise with this or any ROM.

Guest Jurglc Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Have you tried another camera application from the market like Vignette? There is a demo version you can try to see if your camera is actually working in the ROM. If it works then you'll need a replacement Camera app. If it doesn't work then it's probably the kernel not supporting your camera which means sadly you'll have to wait until we have a new kernel. Thanks for the tip, I installed Vignette app but still not working it is the same story I got a measge " The camera hardwere is not responding. " So the original ROM is the only solution for now if I want camera working? Is the new relese will solve the baterry life problem? Thanks for your answers and your time. For now, this rom is best you can get for Blade. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ladiko Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 the H means 3G with HSDPA/HSUPA is available, so H is usually faster than 3G. the old release didnt show the H when HSDPA/HSUPA was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aeronic Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks for this rom. Works great. One question however, I did this upgrade with a 2gb SD card, and partitioned it as 512/0 so that I can move apps to the SD card. Is there a particular process I should follow to change that 2gb SD card to an 8gb one? Second question: If i want to update to a new rom in the future, is there a recommended process for backing up user data, settings and apps. I have 2.5.1.8 clockwork installed. Thanks for the help and rom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kihon Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Battery life is short thanks to the latest Google Maps application. Hi, Do you have a link to information about the Maps issue - I did a google search for Google maps, android and battery usage, but didnt come up with anything on the latest version. Do we know if Google are working on a fix? Thanks Kihon. P.S. Great ROM btw - thanks for your hard work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest super san francisco Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I have sorted out my problem with ES File Explorer via Reboot. Nothing funky going on anymore. However i have another problem, that occurs mostly on 2.2 Roms to me, even though i sometimes had it with 2.1: When in a call, no matter who called, the sounds messes up, just glitches everytime the other person talks, after some seconds of glitches, the sound just disappears. Then, what is even worse, the dialer becomes unresponsive, i can't cancel the call, the time just goes on... pressing homekey works, but how far does that get me... the call still is pending what could this mean, i just had a call, where this happened 3 times in a row.... was far less common on 2.1 rom, maybe once a week...
