[ROM][GEN2]CyanogenMod 7 (Android 2.3.7)

and its for the skate, not the blade, so its not a simple recompile - although as it turns out the skate is still arm6 not arm7, it may essentially be the same kernel, depends on wifi/sensor chipsets etc.

looks like ZTE have pulled a motorola devy on us and just overclocked a blade with a bigger screen and gingerbread and called it a skate....

Is that confirmed? Last I heard they'd changed the CPU to a 1ghz one and we didn't know whether it was 6 or 7? £230 for a Arm6 phone is insane money!

If the Skate is just a a supersized Blade, cool! We can just upgrade and carry on as normal. If not, another section will open up in this forum.

There is a Skate section. :) I've just been checking it to see if there's any confirmation of it being Armv6 or 7 yet but I can't see any.

it isn't even confirmed 1ghz the article i just found was £250 800mhz will wait for the monte carlo price/specs

I had no issues with N131 but I flashed N135 and had 2 reboots.1 last night and one during the day today.

One was during standby and the other while using an app. I have used the app many times without this issue and naturally have the phone on standby most of the time without issue also , so its hard to know what is causing this.

[Guest tsddave]

All of this is purely conjecture until the release of the Skate, possibly in a fortnight? The Mac community love to discuss what the next potential Apple product will be. Most of the time it's wishful thinking and they obviously get it wrong.

If the Skate is just a a supersized Blade, cool! We can just upgrade and carry on as normal. If not, another section will open up in this forum. Life is too short for, if this, or, if that. I don't count my money until the cheque has been cashed and the payment cleared. :)

PS. I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade. We're all entitled to discuss what we feel is important. It's just that sometimes it feels like a pointless exercise. IMHO.

100% Agree with Anil here.

I've got a problem with ringtones and headsets. You can set up the Blade to play the ringtones (and alarms, notifications) in headset and speaker simultaneously. Settings --> CyanogenMod Settings --> Sounds in section "Always play on Speaker" (Settings below apply only when headphones are used). That worked fine with the old kernel. But with the new kernel, N126 and up, this pref is pretty much ignored by the phone. The ringtone is just coming out of the headset, not the speaker anymore.

Can someone confirm this?

[Guest Jean85]

Anyone else with charging reboot problem?

ME!! My SF reboots every time I plug it to the wall charger.

It seems to be hardware dependent. Mine reboots almost every time I plug it to the car charger. No problems with neither wall charger nor PC USB. Been like that since the new kernel was introduced in N12X.

[Guest ididmytime]

If someone from ZTE PR releases a statement in the blade section that the source being released for the 2.6.35 kernel will be out by sep 1st, then you can pretty much bet that it will, and working on our blades.

Speaking of the Skate, details not only seem sketchy about it, but price tag is over £200 in most places... crazy, think I would rather own two blades!

[Guest tsddave]

N135

Now I got a reboot when I plugged in usb to pc and enabled file transfer.The phone rebooted but file transfer was still enabled.

Just upgraded to N136 and I notice the back button doesnt wake the phone up you have to hit the power button...annoying!

How frequent are these reboots on the latest nightlies? and what does this wifi battery drain about? any workaround?

or which nightly shoud I install? I'm coming from Burstrlam's gingerbread leak..

None for me, it seems like a small portion of users are affected. The Wi-Fi module is broken or something I believe. Don't use the Wi-Fi sleep policy, use Tasker or Greenpower to shut off Wi-Fi properly when the screen turns off to limit drain.

Read the last couple of pages, I'd say try the latest N136 though.

Someone have reboot, someone don't have. I don't have any reboot from N126.

i saw it today in the blade/libra section, one of the ZTE PR guy's posts confirmed it was ARMv6 and flash won't work, it was originally going to be 800mhz but a couple of sites say that it has been changed to 1ghz.

i'm not plumping out £229 for one, i'd rather a u8800 or defy even, but probably will stick with the blade until icecream sandwich comes out - unless orange subsidise the monte carlo by £100 or so, then i'll be all over it :D

The processor of the Blade has been confirmed to be ARM7 and 1GHz by a zte spokesman but the monte carlo is still unknown:/

have you got a website to quote or is this word-of-mouth? i can't really see why MC would differ from skate unless that's how orange plan to cut the price.....

I had a lot of problems with the latest nightly. Reboots every time it was in my pocket. That's the important part. Only whilst locked and in ma pocket. Unlocked fine. Locked and laying down, fine. Weird. Overheating again?

Yet the ZTE spokesman who visits this site say's flash isn't supported... aka ARMv6, so one of them is obviously wrong.

I do feel this is moot however, it's still way too expensive.

the best rom right now 2.3...? for power saving?? when i had rls5 i had battery all the time but now with nightly without using it ... the battery is going down ... you think that stable update-cm-7.0.3-Blade would be much better for power saving???? i used 135 but now i have n126

I got these reboots too. And one shutdowwn, all with N135 for that matter. I then reverted back to N126. No problems with that Nightly. Besides the weird bug, that ringtones (or alarms, notifications) are not played over speaker when headset is attached. No matter how the blade is setup.
