Guest MaxAxe Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 using DJ fluminee's mod is it just me or does battery drain faster on this one ? ... i have switched off whatever i could ... got a couple of widgets running though... mainly the facebook chat and gmail app... The fonts on the status bar are more or less unreadable... isnt there another theme available that would fix the fonts and symbols. Also hate the battery meter that small a font is again not a good idea for the battery meter... any way to switch it back ? if all else fails I might just go back to 2.2 :(

Also hate the battery meter that small a font is again not a good idea for the battery meter... any way to switch it back ? if all else fails I might just go back to 2.2 :( cyanogen mod based roms are battery vampires, therefore i recommend using an task manaher with autokill function and switching wifi off when not needed. the fonts can be easily replaced: you simply open the zip of this rom and the zip of a rom with normal font-> navigate to system -> fonts here you simply drag droidsans.ttf and droidsans-bold.ttf from the zip with normal font and drop it in this zip..for battery you go in cyanogenmod settings interface status bar tweaks Edited July 29, 2011 by Dj Fluminee
Guest MaxAxe Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 Another issue ... every time I restart the phone ... my home button disappears... The radio also doesn't work... instead of fixing all of this I think i'll wait for another rom and for now I'll just go back to 2.2

Guest leighw101 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 On a different note, does anyone knows how to change the splash screen in zte racer? Do you mean the first boot image (green android) or the boot image that's animated?
Guest Rahulj85 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Do you mean the first boot image (green android) or the boot image that's animated? i am talking about the very first screen the moment the phone is switched on. i have managed to change the boot animation by placing the bootanimation.zip under /system/media...i need to know how to change the first screen..its known as splash right?

Even I have installed this version and will update soon ;) BTW while installing from ClockWorkMod it was displaying installing update 2.3.4 :blink: and the start up screen has almost become a cartoon film :(

Guest Racerboy Posted August 8, 2011 Report Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Raceryboy, would you happen to know how to flash the splash image in zte racer? The green robot before the bootanimation? I have no idea how to change that mainly because i`ve not looked in to it sry but i`ll have a look, i think maybe it cant be changed. i maybe be wrong you could try this new rom http://android.modaco.com/topic/344747-4pda-rom-234-mooncake-v188-gen1/ if you like experimenting with new roms Edited August 8, 2011 by Racerboy

Thanks for the link..will definitely give it a look and share my feedback.
