[DEV][ROM][1.11.] CyanogenMod 10 (Android 4.1.2)

[Guest KonstaT]

This is my port of CyanogenMod 10 for ZTE Blade III. It is unofficial and unsupported by the CyanogenMod team and it's for advanced users only. I'm using my old CM10 source tree that I used on my Blade builds, so this build is also trimmed (mostly wallpapers and ringtones) and has quite a few additional features.

How to install:

1. boot into ClockWorkMod
2. backup and restore -> backup (makes a nandroid backup of your previous ROM)
3. mounts and storage -> format /system
4. wipe data and factory reset
5. install cm-10-xxxxxxxx-KonstaKANG-atlas40.zip
6. install gapps-jb-xxxxxxxx-signed.zip
7. reboot now

How to build:

1. Follow instructions on initializing a build environment up to a point of downloading the source code.
2. Initialize CyanogenMod 10 repo.

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b jellybean
repo sync

3. Add following to your cm10/.repo/local_manifests/manifest_zte_atlas40.xml and repo sync again:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<!-- ZTE Blade III -->
<project path="device/zte/atlas40" name="KonstaT/android_device_zte_atlas40" revision="jellybean" />
<project path="kernel/zte/msm7x27a" name="KonstaT/android_kernel_zte_msm7x27a" revision="jellybean" />
<project path="vendor/zte" name="KonstaT/proprietary_vendor_zte" revision="jellybean" />
<!-- FM Radio -->
<project path="hardware/qcom/fm" name="legaCyMod/android_hardware_qcom_fm" revision="jellybean" />
<project path="packages/apps/FM2" name="legaCyMod/android_packages_apps_FM2" revision="jellybean" />
</manifest>

4. Apply patches for FM radio support. Three patches needed. One (1) for system/core/ and two (1,2) for frameworks/base/. Copy patches into project directories and cd into respective projects.

git am -3 patchname.patch

5. Update Terminal Emulator. (You only need to this again when Terminal has been updated.)

cd path-to/cm10/vendor/cm/
./get-prebuilts

6. Compile the ROM.

cd path-to/cm10/
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch atlas40

Use 'repo sync' to pull merged changes from upstream. Use 'make clobber' to clean the build environment. Repeat step 6 to make a new build.

nice :)

[Guest the.sniffer]

And just yesterday I was looking at Blade III prices. Today I thought to check out if there are any 3rd party roms, and voilla, here it is ;) I must say the timing is perfect ;)

[Guest dorren]

Tested this now, but in calls persons i talk to do not hear me, but I hear them fine.

Any thoughts?

[Guest merc1800k]

Thanks for testing. :) I only tested that mic works on voice search. :P

Here's a quick patch for muted mic on call.

cm10-phone.zip

Button lights work, but only under some conditions (after changing brightness, using auto-brightness). This is expected CyanogenMod 10 behaviour.

[Guest merc1800k]

thanks....check pls the hardware keys backlight...its off

Edited January 27, 2013 by merc1800k

[Guest dorren]

I will test it when i get home :)

Had to install your other rom so I could go to work with a working Phone ;)

Thanks for great Roms :)

[Guest wewen]

Installed your ROM :) very nice. Thanks.

I do have one problem my wifi don't want to turn on. I did a full wipe when I installed the rom.

[Guest zecinikolaz]

Must say that this is speciffic experience, very difference from ics, much smooter, faster, i hope that you gonna finished 4.2 jb work, and would be also nise to have some chinese roms in that version...,MIUI is my favorite....anyway good work

[Guest thmnss]

Sorry for this newbie question, but how the characteristics between the Zte Blade 3 are nearly identical to the Zte Skate acqua is possible that this Rom work at Acqua?

[Guest aapee]

Konsta keep up the good work. Support from finland! ps is it possible for you to fix backlight for keys and wifi tethering?

[Guest karolp1993]

On my sister's Blade III wifi doesn't work. Stay at "Turning on Wi-Fi". What's the problem?

EDIT:

CM9 the same issue..

[Guest Zisid]

Thank you for bringing JB to our Blade III! This ROM is so much better then any other on ICS, just hoping you can fix the softkeys. They freeze sometimes, or very often to be clear. Not useble. But the rest of the ROM is awesome! :D

[Guest gnq8bzy]

Hello,

does the CM10 Rom for ZTE Blade 3 (Qualcomm MSM7227A) work on TWM A2 wich is the same Mobile phone, but with another CPU (Qualcomm MSM8225) ?

Works for me so you tell me (logcats please). Wifi is going to be a little different in the next release anyway.

Well, Acqua is basically the same device. Someone already tried my Aurora Borealis ROM on a White-Russian ZTE V880E (strange singe-sim cutoff variant of a dual-sim device) and it worked other than it didn't recognize the sim (obviously).

I think the radio firmware is different from Blade III in regular Acqua too. I most likely need to make a compatibility zip that contain some RIL libs from your device's stock ROM. All this needs to be tested first of course, but I'm quite sure we'll get it working eventually.

Sorry, no chance.

Acqua = different casing, same device

TWM A2 = same casing, different device

Konsta keep up the good work. Support from finland! ps is it possible for you to fix backlight for keys and wifi tethering?

I've already changed button backlight behaviour so that they light up every time you touch the screen. Wifi tethring is a low priority, it works with third party apps anyway.

did you forget about gapps? :P cm10 95mb + gapps 90mb = 185 mb ~, and in stock rom you have a lot of apps from zte, so it can be 270 mb :

This rom working for me fine ;p, but i waiting for buttons backlight fix.

I will help you in this rom development, i know C++ ( i'm writting simple game engine in opengl 3.3 & c++ ), but im noob in programming drivers for linux. ;/

You should use the official (goo.im/gapps) gapps from the first post. Anything that I've done for ARMv6 is not optimized for this device.

Huh what, why would it have 4.2 camera? This is Jelly Bean Android 4.1.

nothing change gapps to my phone

i do all that 2 times but nothing change in rom...camera still ics , etc

What exactly do you expect the gapps to change? This ROM doesn't have ICS camera. It's 4.1, just like everything else in this ROM.

[Guest merc1800k]

thanks for answer konstat

i am trying to use the camera 4.2 (NEXUS camera)...its nice and big screen...

[Guest zloduh]

you can always install gapps lite it is only 8mb just google play and required libs. that makes rom even lighter

[Guest telegdyd]

Thanks for your work. This is a great rom, and i'm looking forward to the upcoming updates.

Bugreport section: Sometimes the status bar freezes, and i cant go to my notifications. I have no idea about the causes of this bug, but its really bad that i have to restart my phone 3 times a day. Please fix this if possible.
