[DEV] [ICS] [MIUI] [4.0.4] MIUI for the ZTE Crescent [ROM] [Last updated: 10/06]

[Guest Dazzozo]

Presenting MIUI for the ZTE Crescent!

This is an extremely early port (probably just over a week or so). It is not intended for daily use yet. Only flash if you know what you're doing. You have to flash Superuser separately (link given below) and Google apps as normal. Like AOSPFusionX, you must flash CyanogenMod 9 before flashing this... for now.

You need a 200MB system partition minimum for this ROM (160MB without Google apps). Stock partition layout is ideal but if you are having problems such as missing Google apps, use the TPT at the bottom of the post.

A few quick screenshots...

This ROM is suitable for the Orange San Francisco II, the T-Mobile Vivacity and the Telenor Touch Plus. This is created with the MIUI PatchROM using AOSPFusionX as a base and is pretty much identical to the Skate port by tilal6991. In it's current state, all of the apps (Phone, etc.) are taken from the Skate port as I'm too lazy to do this for now (I have a few issues with PatchROM to figure out), the effective outcome is identical to the Skate port with all the Crescent differences.

Details:

• Android 4.0.4 - MIUI based on AOSPFusionX!
  
• Adreno 200 ARMv6 GPU drivers for awesome 3D performance - Ice Cream Sandwich running smooth on the Crescent!
  
• Hardware acceleration!

    Instructions:(have some sense and read them)
    • Grab the ROM and Google apps (links below) and stick them on your SD.
      
    • Vivacity/Touch Plus: Grab the Vivacity/Touch Plus kernel for correct touchscreen support - the one packaged with the ROM is for San Francisco II users.
      
    • Boot in to Recovery by turning the phone off, and turning it on while holding the volume down key.
      
    • 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset'
      
    • 'Install zip from sdcard' -> 'Choose zip from sdcard' -> ROM
      
    • 'Install zip from sdcard' -> 'Choose zip from sdcard' -> Google apps

    • Optional: 'Install zip from sdcard' -> 'Choose zip from sdcard' -> Ice Cream Sandwich boot animation
      
    • 'Reboot System Now'
      
    • Give it time - first boot takes longer than usual.
      
    • Run through the first time setup, language, date/time, Google account etc.
      
    • Have fun!
      
      If you still have issues (other than those mentioned in the second post), post in the thread.

Why are you guys so awesome? ;)

If this ever gets finished, I'm definitely gonna get it.

Since I have the Vivacity, a few cases will make people believe I have an actual iPhone!
