Guest irishpancake Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 The one's from here: http://goo.gl/MDzGN Yes, thanks :mellow: But, as I have only used ROM Manager, and did not use Seb's Recovery Manager from the start, are you sure of this statement: rom manager only flashs GEN2 clockworks Is this true?? I currently have ROM Manager V4.2.0.2, which updates automatically. Current Recovery is ClockWorkMod 3.0.2.7 I have a Gen 1 device, with SS RLS2, and was planning to upgrade to GEN2 with SS RLS5(GEN2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wazza2007 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Am in the process of transfer the Swedish ROM file to the phone. There is the following problem i have. It is step 12... A new storage device should be recognised on your computer. On your computer, copy the ROM (the zip file) you downloaded during Step 2 and paste it straight to the root of the storage device. Do not paste it into any folders, just the root of the device. Do NOT unzip or extract the file. When i open the directory on the PC do i simply stick it in at top level? Am i right in saying that the folder now looks like ... .dataviz Android clockworkmod DCIM documents download LOST.DIR z7logs Swedish_Spring_RLS5.zip where all apart from Swedish zip file are folders?

It doesn't matter where you put the rom, i had that .zip file in "download" sub-folder, just stick it anywhere on the SD and through recovery you will navigate to it.

Guest wazza2007 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Going to change the Rom tonight. As a matter of interest is there a way to create a folder/directory where i can put all the games in? Don't want my kids going to the main menu and click on any icon. Also will tidy it up.

Thanks yeah, I use go launcher for this, it's the only one i found that can make folders on the app drawer, download it from market and test it out. looks like this : you can change the background of the folders with different themes.

Guest wazza2007 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) I am happy. Newcomer to the android phone and in modifying it. It all went successfully. Followed the instructions on the website. Thanks for providing clear instructions. Can i delete the swedish rom zip file from the phone so i can free up the memory? Have downloaded games for the kids to play with. Is there anything else i need to download to make the phone run efficiently? Read somewhere that there is an app to keep the WiFi stable and another app to make maximum use of the battery.

Thanks indeed for the information, you are correct, CW 3.0.2.7 is for GEN2, but will flash in RM on a GEN1 device, without warning, also, when you downgrade to CW 3.0.1.4, from within RM, it will issue an update notification regarding new version, not specifying this is for GEN2 only......not good for noobs like me, but part of a learning process :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloaded Go Launcher Ex. Excellent piece of app to keep your screen clutter free. Have hidden files which i don't want kids to experiment with.

Guest wazza2007 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Matter of interest does one has to have an antivirus package installed etc when using the mobile to access internet through wifi of gprs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flshg Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Matter of interest does one has to have an antivirus package installed etc when using the mobile to access internet through wifi of gprs? I have Dr web installed, but I rather doubt that it has much work to do. I guess there are very few viruses on android (i imagine spyware is more of a problem than destructive viruses as seen on computers). I'm just paranoid so have it working, doesnt cause any noticeable battery drain or slowdown, plus free and easy to use. I also have a firewall "droidwall", which should help with spyware/privacy/ads.

Guest anotherbob Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Just used your guide to flash Japanese Jellyfish on my SF. Everything worked smoothly, the sign of a well written guide. I wish someone would write a guide to get my MMS service working... :unsure: I just moved providers hoping that that was the problem, but it wasn't. I did a factory reset, but that made no difference. Now I've installed JJ and MMS STILL doesn't work. I'm on Talkmobile PAYG Essentials. The APNs seem to come with the SIM, one is called Talkmobile and the other Talkmobile MMS; the data connection is fine, so is SMS. When I try to send a MMS I get a report saying "cannot connect". On Talkmobile's website there are details of an APN to enter manually, but when I do and highlight it I lose the data connection and MMS STILL doesn't work. I've posted elsewhere but so far the responses, for which I am grateful, have not sorted the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This works for many Piggy-back Virtual Mobile operators, like your Talkmobile/GiffGaff/ASDA/Tesco... Cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ukdevil Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Firstly, thanks for the guide.. I received my Gen1 San Francisco yesterday, followed the instructions and everything went really smoothly, adding Froyo 2.2 (Swedish ROM) to my phone. However, the wireless range seems pretty poor on the phone - could that be anything to do with the ROM I've used? I was wondering whether rolling back to Eclair would give improved wireless performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MonsterKiller Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Hello. I have a ZTE Blade and currently have cyanogen 7.0.0 installed but i want to go to 7.0.3. ( I have ClockworkMod installed and working ) I read that you had to upgrade to Gen2 so i looked up how to do this, i downloaded the files mentioned here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?titl...e_to_Gen2_Radio I added the 'image' folder to my sd card and verified the md5, which came out alright. I turned off my phone and waited a couple of seconds (i have also tried taking the battery out). When i turned it on, as said on the wiki, i held menu and vol+ when i turned it on. However, this did nothing. I tried this 3-4 times and got nothing at all. I have also tried just holding vol+, holding power and vol+ but non of these seem to do anything. I never saw any green text which is what is said to be looked out for as a sign of it working. The phone just boots normally each time. I then tried the package from http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...r-easy-install/ and did the same as above but still with no result. I have additionally tried 'reboot bootloader' from a emulated terminal but when the phone boots it just stays on the android logo until i take the battery out. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
