Guest Krste Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) First of all , I like to give a BIG THANK YOU to the developer - Vitalik1994 and everybody else involved for making our low-end devices worth the money. This ROM is currently my #1 for the Racer. I'm on #175 right now, I removed ADW.Launcher and replaced it with LauncherPro instantly, which I believe gets rid of the darning bug above (or should I reflash?). Anyway, I like to point out a few problems - and fixes for some of the problems everybody's is having. 1. The calibration on #175 is a spot-on - near perfection. You don't need to press hard for touches to get registered. The only problems is the keyboard - sometimes there are few "ghostkeys". Luckily, there's a fix. Just install GO Keyboard from the market and the problems are solved magically. 2. There is a problem with the icons and graphics in this ROM because it's ported from the ZTE Blade - a MDPI device with higher resolution and pixel density - making the icons and graphics look tiny, squished - over all not good. There's a fix for this also thanks to CM's theme chooser. Get a LDPI theme here (choose CrispyBread-signed.apk for default theme or CrispyCyanBread-signed.apk for CyanBread - the blue theme). Go to Theme Chooser, chose the theme, Apply ignoring the warning (it's because a few insignificant icons are missing - everything will be fine) and then reboot for the full effect. The icons and the status bar now should look larger and beautiful. 3. If you have the LED Notification stuck problem - the light doesn't go away there's a fix for that also. Get Light Flow from the Android Market (or the free version, but I recommend getting the full, it's just 0.99$). Tweak the notifications as you like - taking note that the Racer's LED only supports three colors - Red, Orange and Green. The problem should go away. 4. If you are getting WiFi disconcerting after lock/wake that's a known hardware limitation present also in the ZTE Blade. But there's a workaround - get Blade Wifi Fix from the Market to automaticly reconnect after lost WiFi connection. But, there's a big bug in the ROM that was previously present in the ZTE Blade's CM Nightly Builds, but was fixed since N #72 - The accelerometer lag, witch makes any game that required it (like Speedex, Doodle Jump, Need For Speed, Labyrynth...) unplayable. Looking forward for this getting fixed, since it's my only problem now. Everything else works fine, the radio, the camera (witch impressively records video with VGA [640x480] resolution vs the stock CIF res.). I cannot comment on battery life currently, but the previous nightly batter performance was absolutely amazing - it lasted days without recharge. I believe that hasn't changed in this nightly :P. Again, keep up the good work! Edit: Here's a screenshot after a hour of customization. (mClock with MIUI Black Clock, LauncherPro, Suave Icons HD) Edited August 29, 2011 by Krste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phrank Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm having big probs, all of a sudden. Yesterday I installed 175 after doing a full factory reset and wipe. Everything was fine, but I had no Market, so I installed the Google Apps zip mentioned earlier in this thread. This installed OK, but 9 times out of 10 the Market would force close. When it did open, nothing would actually download. Wiped again, and this time installed Google Apps from a different download, gapps-hdpi-FRF91-2-signed.zip. This worked perfectly, Market worked, apps downloaded OK. This morning I downloaded the 176 release and installed it over 175 without a wipe. Phone just stuck at the boot animation, no luck. Next I did a wipe/reset. This time it booted, right up to the 'Touch the Android to begin' at which point it just constantly rebooted. I wiped again, and restored my backup in Clockwork recovery, which is an old 2.2 ROM by Rickywyatt. Everything working fine. Wiped again, and reinstalled the same 175 I downloaded yesterday, booted up fine. Installed Google apps again, and the phone is stuck rebooting every time it gets to the 'Touch the Android...' screen. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here, can anyone help? I thought using Clockwork Recovery to perform a full factory reset and cache wipe would leave me with a clean slate to install any new ROM, but it seems something is left behind from that 176 I installed and now the only thing I can run is from my original backup. My head is battered trying to solve this... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once CWM is updated reboot in to CWM and re-flash rom with instructions from post#1 Edited August 29, 2011 by Racerboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebooted into CWR and installed Google Apps. Every time I do this, the same happens - Market Apps Installer asks which options I want, then force closes straight away. Stuff like GMail and Google+ are there, but no matter what I do, I can't get Market to appear. I've tried using a freshly-created Google account as well, and the same still happens, Market Apps Installer *always* does a FC. Grr. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
