Guest ididmytime Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Anil, I think we should just agree to disagree on this subject, before turning this thread into a free for all, as we have strong opinions in the complete opposite direction on what obligation ZTE have, and about the issues the blade has. By xmas, we should all have decent roms so this isn't really necessary. OK thanks. I'll upgrade may be at the weekend and flash the GPS fix Do we know why the CM devs don't like the fix, especially if it fixes the GPS issues? I think it was to do with the patch being a 'hack' job, and CM wanted to do it properly, but don't quote me on that. I'm sure you can find the reason somewhere in this thread.

I know it comes from an older version (I thought it was 2.2), so that sounds more than plausable. It does work however, arguably better than it does now with it.

Guest Pelemanne Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 OK thanks.

You don't need to install any "fix" to cm for gps because gps.conf is correct. Contents of ss rls5 fix is; "NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com SUPL_PORT=7276" When I check the contents of my cm n152 the contents is very equal.

Guest Kuoi Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I'm starting to test CM7 N158 since a few hours , and didn't had a fc or reboot or whatever. OK , 1 minor error when I woke up and put the screen on , I did get an error about fm radio ... but I've installed ZTE Fm radio app , so might be this. most important question for me at this moment... Can I use the UOT kitchen to make myself a theme , and flasdh the zip , or doesn't it work that way because of "theme chooser" ? And at first sight , battery drain looks OK for now. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are patch-files and doing a patch to Android-system. Fix from ss rls5 topic contained only gps.conf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThermalDroid Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 my n157+ has been superseded by the official n158 now, i was just playing with the kernel. my 4.0.1.4 recovery build isn't much different to clockworkmod 3.0.2.7 (but hey, its a higher version number!) i just wanted to try compiling recovery from the cm7 sources as paul had done for the skate, rather than relying on koush. i've attached the recovery as a flashable zip (for rommanager or recovery) but i've not tried it as i've already flashed the .img file using fastboot. md5sum 62d75e0ab925262b2c99c3a1f534bbb6 it should work ok, but if you brick your phone don't come crying to me (i guess you could still fastboot or tpt actually) and do a nandroid backup first perhaps. note it still shows up as 3.0.2.7 in rommanager, but when you enter recovery it shows as 4.0.1.4 and i've done a nandroid and a flash using it just fine (even from rommanager premium). Work way better and is much sleeker thanks sej! +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sej7278 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) Work way better and is much sleeker thanks sej! +1 it does a nandroid backup much faster doesn't it? due to no scrolling text or progress bars i guess - same goes for regular linux, turn off the -v flag and tar whizzes by. i also like that there's confirmation text throughout. edit: there's a shedload more recoveries here i didn't realise sebastian404 was still building them.

Guest opc100 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 So the last nightly I used was n88, and the battery life was absolutely appalling. It struggled to get through 18 hours on a full charge. I've been on ginger stir fry for a while, but want to give Cyanogen another go, what's the battery life like on the recent nightlies?

Guest Daedus Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hello there mates, I installed the new Cyanogen rom in my Blade yesterday, aswell with the latest Google apps file that was available in the rom's site, the problem is: The Android Market icon won't show up in the menu, and checking the Settings-> Applications, the Market is installed but it's kind of greyed out, and can't start the application, I've reinstalled the Google Apps aswell without success, Anything I can do? Do I have to connect to my Google account first and then it will appear in the menu? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
