Introduction to ROM's (or Firmware)

STOP
(hammer time!)
currently this page is for ZTE-BLADE devices that have the old style memory layout [GEN1] blades.

The [GEN2] Thread for installing ROMS is here :
http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...or-gen2-device/

This means that [GEN1] BLADES that use the baseband of
0x02A00000
and they can use anything on this page

If your device has the new [GEN2] layout its baseband will be
0x02600000
- and you
MUST NOT
install anything from this page

Currently Swedish Comviq phones and also Bulgarian phones (that are 2.2)
MAY
be GEN2

How to find out what BLADE you have (GEN1 or GEN2)

You need tom install this app
Ask Mr Pigfish

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.apedroid.pigfish

http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...ask-mr-pigfish/

When you run the APP the first line will be

Mr.Pigfish says you have a Gen1 model

or

Mr.Pigfish says you have a Gen2 model

If it's not Gen1 then Pick a GEN1 ROM - INSTALLING A GEN1 ROM ON A GEN2 DEVICE WILL BRICK IT

UPDATE : There is now a few custom ROMs for GEN2 devices - this thread has the details of how to root (Z4Root), Recovery Manager, Clockwork (recovery-clockwork-3.0.1.4-x880), backup, then install your ROM.

Please please be careful what your doing - the work is very new and make sure you understand what your doing.

A ZTE Blade that is sold to you from an Operator contains a
STOCK ROM
.

The STOCK ROM is made up of 2 parts

  • The BOOT partition (a Linux Kernel and some drivers)

  • The Android System (Customised by the Operator)

    • re-use the already compiled Kernel

    • modify (hack) an already compiled Kernel

    • use someone else's already compiled Kernel

    • Compile their own Kernel (from sourcecode)


      If this is so - then the Kernel you have on your device (in the BOOT partition) will not be affected.


      Next they will produce thier ROM (Android System)
      • Choose a Standard ROM to be the BASE of thier ROM

      • Remove thing they don't like / need

      • Add things to make it better

      • Tweak settings


        ROM developers will usualy warn you.


        When you update to a newer version of the same ROM you usually dont have to Factory Reset .

        Again ROM developers will usually warn you when you have to.


        When moving between ROM's that are different you nearly
        ALWAYS
        have to Factory Reset.


        When you first boot into a new ROM a startup procedure of some kind will happen.

        This will take
        much longer
        than a normal bootup.

        Important things are going on - let it do it.


        You must only apply patches & Themes to your device
        after you have let the ROM boot once
        .



        When it comes to installing there are only 2 kinds of ROM
        • ROMs that can be installed with
          Clockwork

        • ROMs that can be installed as a
          Total Phone Transfer
          (TPT)





          Current Known / Available ROM's for the ZTE Blade

          There is a POLL to keep track of how many users are using each ROM
          It re-sets every week or two - is should give you an idea about which ones are popular.

                              Choosing your ROM

                              The most important thing is that you choose a ROM that is going to work on your device.

                              Almost all the ZTE Blade's have
                              TFT
                              screens - however some of the early Orange San Fransisco devices have
                              OLED
                              screens.

                              If you put a boot.img (linux kernel) that is designed for an OLED device onto a device that has a TFT screen - then you will have 2 problems.

                                [*]
                                Your screen will have a Blue Tint

                                [*]
                                Your device will appear to not wake up one it has gone to sleep

                                If you accidently do this you can fix your device - however it's a much better idea to not do it in the first place

                                If you donlt know what kind of screen you have, then on some ROMS you can use the Dialer to find out

                                Dial
                                *983*24474636#
                                in the dialer.

                                Themes

                                Themes are usually supplied as a single ZIP file that is applied using clockwork

                                You simply treat them like a ROM, simply in clockwork choose
                                install zip fom sdcard
                                and select the file

                                Themes will
                                ONLY
                                work on ROMS stated in the thread - read them

                                You should
                                ALWAYS
                                do a full clockwork backup (nandroid backup) before you apply a theme zip

                                Always
                                let a new ROM boot
                                BEFORE you install the theme - some ROMS wont boot if you flash over a newly installed ROM

Thank you for all your super nice work.

Without you I/we would be totally disorientated/lost!

I personally use Paul's r10 but like JellyFish very much too (battery is an issue for me)

Thanks for you posts on this. I was able to install a new 2.2 rom on my San Francisco.

Have been using the JellyFish rom. Everything OK by now.

They have been really helpful.

Keep the good work.

fistly love this site, really appreciate all the work clever people do on here, and will shortly go Ad free I am sure, I like having the latest things!!

I have a noob question....

I have installed a couple of ROMs since getting my ZTE recently. Initially I tried the Bladevillan 2.1 which was fine, then I wanted to try a 2.2 ROM so am currently running the Modaco Custom Froyo r7 2.2.

My question is, how do people easily restore all their programs, settings, widgets, launchers, homescreens etc once they have installed a new ROM? What about when the ROM requires a wipe like Modaco Custom Froyo r8 2.2?

Do you simply reinstall from scratch after every new ROM, or is there a simple way of backing up and restoring? I have played around with Titanium backup Pro and reinstalled each program individually with little difficulty, but it still took quite a time, then the widgets had to be re set up etc.

So am I missing a trick that allows me to flash new ROMs when they come up, and get my phone up and running with all the programs etc I want, quickly?

thanks

Would it be simpler for a reader to organise it as Roms for use with Clockwork, and Roms for use with TPT, even though some will be repeated? Or would this just be a personal preference?

My compliment for the great work.

Could be useful to better underline

  • which is a "production" release and which is not
  • Why a user should choose a version 2.1 instead of a 2.2

The list gives a plenty of information, but the risk is to be stacked and having difficulties in choosing the ONE to install.

A criteria or sort of ranking, (eg: by stability or bug fix) could help a lot

Intresting 3d to be linked from this rom thread

Any suggestions of what is BEST would be very bias.

However the idea to link to the Poll is a good one - added it

Thanks Steven.

My goal was NOT to state which is the best, but to insert some more bit of information to make a ROM selection: some example could be

  • production level , (stable, beta or alfa)
  • date of release
  • well known problem

Do you like the idea ?

It's a good idea - but a huge amount of work to keep a list of Bugs for ALL ROM's in one place - best left to the ROM owners in their Known Problems Sections.

Hi all,

I installed the MoDaCo Froyo r7 rom on my UK Orange San Fran yesterday and I'm having a lot of WiFi problems that I wasn't having with the stock Orange 2.1 ROM. I can't get it to connect to the work router at all despite cycling the router and re-entering the key. I have to force it to connect and then it just sits obtaining IP address.

Is this a known issue? Is there a 2.2 ROM with more stable WiFi (later kitchen releases have had WiFi fixes but I only have access to the prebake) or would I be better reverting to a de-Orangated 2.1 ROM?

Cheers

Is there any Froyo Rom that works with the ZTE Blade with 5 MP camera (from the Finnish operator Elisa/Saunalahti, it comes with Android 2.1)? I read that the Japanese Jellyfish Rom is also for a 5 MP version Blade, should it work on the Finnish model, without disabling the camera?

I can confirm that JJ RLS9 does support 5 MP German Blade. I am running it currently though not sure for how long battery life is not great. Other than that mostly bug free and fast.

Is StevenHarperUK still updating this thread? It's an amazing source of information, but if you're struggling to keep up with it it'd be great to move it to the wiki where we could all keep it up to date.

I check it daily :P

Wiki's can quickly stagnate - threads stay fresh.

Wiki's are better for historical information - ROM's are current

70+ updates to this thread since 18th October 2010 - its fresh
