Hi, I got a Dell XCD 35, an Idea Blade and tried most of the roms around. TheDell XCD 35 works perfect with cm7 and most of the roms but in the Idea Blade the roms install and work just fine the only error persisting and common in all is just the CANNOT CONNECT CAMERA. It is because the new Chinese Idea Blades have a different camera driver, which is yet to be integrated in the cm7 or different roms. I personally haven tried the moldovian rom shall try and and post here soon. I am desperately waiting for the camera to start working in any of these custom roms. Pls do let me know if you have any feedback or further info on the same. Thanks!

Hi,

Just installed the Moldovan Mile-High-Mountain-Pie RLS9 (Android 2.3.5) and applied the the kernel patches. This is the link

I installed the rom and after installing applied the kernels. After installing the 1st kernel the cam didnt work so had to install the Swedish stock kernel and it worked like a charm. No I am truly happy and enjoying the rom. Havent come across any bugs as yet. shall post if i find anything.

Optional kernels:

The steps to install the custom rom are as follows:

first of all you will have to root your phone, by installing Z4root, then download and install superuser from the market, then download and install rom manager from the market. then run rom manager and flash clockwork mod recovery and while doing this please be certain that your internet on the mobile is on. Please backup your original rom to your SD card before installing any new rom so that you can restore your original rom anytime.

I am posting a link please read the detailed instructions and only then try installing it

hey there i have a doubt could explain the order to install the addons and kernel. is it first rom then kernel and then addons thanks. also in the guide there is mention to wipe cache, darvik cache, which all did you do? thanks

[Guest aneesasil]

Yes please first choose the option to factory reset then choose the cache wipe and then the dalvik cache.. i wiped all then installed the rom. You have to install the rom then go back to recovery mode and install the add ons from zip on sd card the first kernel and then reboot ..after that install the swedish kernel and after that reboot. I have checked the gprs and the gps and the call recording default option too... everything seems to be working just perfect till now, hope it goes on the same way. On the earlier stock froyo rom i had only free memory of about 40Mb but in this rom i have about 90 Mb of free memory and thats why the phone is responding very well and its definitely much faster than the froyo rom.

Hope your installation goes error free. All the best ! Do keep me updated.

Thanks!

and one more help..i can't restore back to my original idea blade stock rom. when i saw from file manager in clockworkmod's backup folder, some file was missing. i think one of them is android.img comparing to the back up of cm7.1.0.

how do you optimised it? i installed as u mentioned. runs smoother than cyanogenmod but ram is around -30mb still so help me coz want that 80 mb. max clock speed option in ''no-frils CPU Control'' app is 600mhz so no option for overclocking..any solution ?

[Guest aneesasil]

Yes thats the one i installed. I havent installed the 3rd kernel as i didnt feel the need to. Everything started working after installing the swedish kernel so i guess the 3rd kernel wasnt required for the Idea Blade.

Did you backup the rom properly.. i mean did it take about 10 minutes or so for you to complete backup ? You should be having a backup up file with a date on it and time on it. if ever you require to claim warranty you will first have to install the custom rom. If you ever need the idea stock rom with the idea booting logo i can share my backup rom, at least it shall serve your purpose. As far as the ram unlocking is concerned, TPT most probably will not be able to unlock the ram from 256 to 512 because these chinese idea blades seem to have a hardware ram of only 256.

hope things go smooth now.

Hello ,

Thank you for the detailed procedure you gave for the installation of the ROM. But i have a problem,

After installation of Moldovan Mile-High-Mountain-Pie RLS9, the phone ran very well, but after the reboot,

The touch screen has become un responsive. I tried a clean install after wipe but still no luck.

Luckily i had taken a nandroid of the stock rom (froyo). I have tried the patch

http://android.modac...m/page__st__140

but still no joy.

Can you please help.

Thank you

Hi everyone....Bought my Idea ZTE Blade a few days ago, and stepped into the world of Android. Already rooted my phone with SuperOneClickv1.9.1-ShortFuse . The main problem I was and still having is with my SD card. I can't move any application to the SD card, both before and after rooting. Tried apps like "App to SD" , " Move to SD enabler" but to no avail. Thus running very short on inner memory. When ever I try to move any application , it hangs. Well, the phone do hangs on many occasion also.

The second problem is with again with my SD card. (its a Kingston 4GB). I installed MyPhoneExplorer, but it not been able to copy files to my card (songs, pics). Tried with mounting the card, almost same problem, as it stops responding after a while. Tried taking out the card and using my card reader, well it did copy fine, and was able to play most of the songs, but pics got lost and after taking out the card once and the putting back, all 200-300 songs went down to the "lost dir" . The card was working fine before on my Samsung Chat and I was taking it out and putting back quite regularly to copy files to and fro. And the most surprising fact is that the android files in the card remain ok !! Anyway, Planning to buy a 8 GB micro SDHC (at-least class 6) soon and to see if that fix the problem

And the last problem is with the phone horrible battery backup. Its like with 3G, I have to charge my phone almost twice daily, and the funny part is I have't started using the phone for making calls yet, just playing games and finding out more, before I put my Primary sim into it. Just to test it, I charged it for like 5/6 hrs to get full 100% battery, then took the battery out and then put back in, and switched it on to see a battery level of 91%, i.e just to start-up the phone it drained 9% power !!!!!!!!!!! ......is this the same for this phone with other too?...because the other part I am not sure but the battery must be a common problem !!!!!

I am really looking forward to any Help on the problems and would really apreciate them, Thanks in advance and a wish you all a very Happy Republic Day....

Better try a new memory card. Yep 3G and games can drain your phone pretty fast, there are threads in this forum on how to maximise battery recommend visiting those. booting up does drain the battery and also heard in other forums like the percentage of battery life not accurate or some thing like that.

[Guest uumeshh]

i have noticed one thing with this phone. there odds no rom for this phone which allows over clocking and at the same time has a functional camera. i feel this phone is very slow and needs over clocking for smooth working.

any suggestions.
