Development on the rom was stopped by myself but continues as a Gen2 ROM by LanceH. Check his thread out at http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...hat-gen-2-only/

What is FLB-Froyo G2?

It's a ROM based upon the most recent Chinese Froyo ROM for the ZTE Blade with all operator customizations removed and elements from stock Android 2.2.2r1. This is designed to provide the most vanilla Froyo experience for the ZTE Blade along with some speed.

ROM Features

- Google apps

- Full Market

- Custom kernel with overclocking, RDS radio, TUN, CIFS, EXT4, smartass and BFS/BFQ

- Small enough to fit on the smaller 128MB system partition for resized TPT users

- Rooted with working Superuser

- Pretty good battery life

- ROM built on the ZTE Chinese 2.2 base with some elements from the Japanese leak and recent Swedish ROM. Most system apps updated to Android 2.2.2 versions to take advantage of bug & security fixes.

Hints & tips

- Facebook & Twitter contact sync only works if you are using the stock Android contacts & dialer

- Battery levels can be incorrect after a new flash. Wait until you have run the ROM for several days as Android will need to recalibrate the battery levels. Alternatively you can perform a full charge with the phone is on, unplug the phone and switch off then charge it up again until the light goes green. Turn on the phone holding VOLUME DOWN to enter recovery and wipe battery stats.

- ROM is ready for overclocking. Use No-Frills CPU Control or SetCPU, both available from the Market

- Smartass is enabled in the ROM. Again use No-Frills CPU Control or SetCPU to switch the default governor to use this.

- FM Radio is missing? Removed by default as it drains battery. Get it here if you want to install it.

- Applications force closing a lot? Wipe the phone fully and re-install again

Downloads

FLB Froyo r11 with ZTE SmartDialer & Contacts: Download (82.2 MB) MD5 64CF52941660A5B27F4AA3DE9BE38E77 - THIS IS CURRENTLY FAULTY. REMOVED UNTIL A FIX IS AVAILABLE

FLB Froyo r11b with Android Stock Dialer & Contacts: Download Mirror (81.9 MB) MD5 A147F96572667ADEB25661B4486AA9AD

Patch to remove the pull-down notification bar widgets: flb-froyo-notification.zip Mirror (2.54 MB) MD5 6473CB97A86BEE46A5035345F67A6AAE

If flashing a custom theme from frankish then please flash the notification bar removal patch before the theme. You only need to do this once.

If you want to use r11 with the ZTE dialer then you may have to wipe and do a fresh installation. You will also need to wipe if you've updated to r11 stock dialer then decide in the future you want to use ZTE dialer instead. Changes to the contact database between dialers means that it's difficult to switch dialers without causing problems.

Problem with the ROM? Please post in the discussion thread. LINK

Want the Gingerbread theme? Frankish is your man. Download them (and more) here

Kernel source blah blah gpl compliance blah blah

Oh ok then. You can find my modified kernel source on my github. Feel free to modify as much as you want. https://github.com/flibblesan/ZTE-BLADE-2.6.32

A message for people that like to build their own custom kernels

Feel free to share your custom kernels for FLB if you like! I have absolutely no problem with people releasing custom versions of my ROM with a new kernel.

A message for people that like to edit roms

As above, feel free to make changes to FLB and release as a custom ROM. Just please mention that it is based on FLB and make sure you list all your changes and improvements.

Why am I doing this?

Seeing people release their own versions of CM7 and custom kernels gave me this idea. It's already popular on the Pulse forums where users are taking the existing ROMs and improving upon them with little or no input from the original authors. I like this a lot as it takes the load of the original author (ie me) and allows people to have a version of a popular ROM with specific options they want. Some people might not want overclocking but need CIFS support, for example.

Always an upgrade without wiping. But if you experience odd force closes you'll need to wipe. Same for all roms :D

In before questions.

Smartass is enabled but is not default. Reason for this is because it's still in the test stage and because it drops the CPU down to the minimum level when the screen is off it may affect some background apps that need a bit more CPU power. Some CPU intensive audio players like Droidsound for example.

Best thing is to experiment with it.

If you want to set smartass to default then edit /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh and change this line:

echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

obviously changing ondemand to smartass

but this is for experts. Much easier to install No-Frills or SetCPU to do it.

Thanks flibblesan - am getting both 10b and 11 - my sh*te connection is making them a really slow d/l.

Currently on r8 - so looking forward to trying both new ones.

Will probably run 10b for a couple weeks before then trying 11(x).

Flashed r11 from r10b without wiping. Apps that were installed to the SD appear to be missing now. If I reinstall them will the settings (game saves etc.) be restored too?

edit: Forget about this, all the apps appeared now, seems it just needed a couple of minutes for the sd card mount.

Thank you for all your hard work!

Do you have a changelog between 10b and 11?

Is this as up to date as the SS version?

Kind regards!

Changelog on the first post. It's probably as up to date as the new ROM but as we found out before ZTE haven't updated much of the system between versions.
