Wow! Amazing. You are really fast in developing new ROMs. Do you think Firefox OS would work on original ZTE Blade (OSF)?

[Guest KonstaT]

Do you think Firefox OS would work on original ZTE Blade (OSF)?

I doubt it. It's never been ported to an ARMv6 device.

It's open source though, so there's nothing stopping if someone wants to invest time/energy/sanity in porting it. It should run fine on the original Blade as Firefox OS is targeted to entry level devices and it doesn't require high-end specs from the device.

[Guest x6itru]

Really nice! Maybe a bit slow, but i like it :P Working great :)

[Guest Ty3uK]

I doubt it. It's never been ported to an ARMv6 device.

this's bullshit... :(

[Guest tilal6991]

this's bullshit... :(

How lol? If you care about it then you could port it...

[Guest Ty3uK]

No, i can't port this stuff.

It makes me sad.

[Guest x6itru]

Of course it's possible to run it to ARMv6 but you should call it "rewriting" not "porting" xD

This is my port of Firefox OS for ZTE Blade III. Firefox OS won't be commercially available until sometime later this year and it is still very much work in progress. This is not meant for daily use (or any use really), it's just something to play with.

There's really not much point in developing this further at this point, but I might as well share the test build I made. Most core functions should be working but there are few issues.

• Firefox OS is developed for devices with 320x480 resolution so everything seems small/doesn't scale correctly for higher resolution.
  
• Wifi doesn't seem to connect to networks (this is something device specific and could be fixed if I cared enough ;))
  
• Hardware video decoding/encoding - video playback/camcorder issue (don't know if this is specific to our device)

Yeah, I used some old sources when I built the initial release. This post would have helped you.

But like it says in the first post - it's for Blade III. I've made a decision I'll only support Blade III from now on. You should only flash ROMs that you find in Acqua section of this forum. ;)

[Guest KonstaT]

I saw some scaling fixes got merged into B2G so I did a new build. Almost everything is now scaled to right size but it still doesn't feel quite right. :P

Hmm, you released update 3.2 ? :D

[Guest GizmoTheGreen]

this actually works to call with?

I already get into that fix and it worked pretty good... but i already find moore issues with sim card contact reading and sms you can't open then.... the wifi worked pretty well... the diference between blade 3 and acqua are too much???? And good job you are a good develepor thanks again.... :)

[Guest KonstaT]

Yeah, RIL works and audio works (routing, mic, etc), you can makes calls or browse the web with mobile data. There's really not much point in maintaining working/non-working lists. It's for testing purposes only (and I really mean it ;)) and Firefox OS in general is still heavily under development.

You're saying that wifi works? Because it shouldn't connect afaik.

[Guest H3nS]

yes it work on my house the wifi did connect to the router it was throught wps

[Guest GarryHD]

What market we can use? This - https://marketplace.firefox.com/?

And, how this system works, compared to the CM10?

[Guest hejinqiu]

How lol? If you care about it then you could port it...

can you help us ,runing ubuntu or firefox in blade

[Guest x6itru]

can you help us ,runing ubuntu or firefox in blade

It wont be easy :P Firefox & Ubuntu is for ARMv7 not ARMv6

[Guest dilog]

Maybe I just searched bad, but can you share your xml config file for building B2G?

[Guest KonstaT]

There's a full manifest included in B2G builds (/system/sources.xml).

[Guest plantroon]

I can confirm that wifi is working through WPS! Full version of this OS was released recently on a ZTE's phone. Support for Blade 3 coming, huh?

[Guest thafslun]

I get a bluescreen or freeze when using this rom, same as with the old CM10.1 before 800mhz was removed.

[Guest KonstaT]

New build. I was playing around with ZTE Open firmware (official Firefox OS device) and got it booted on Blade III with very little effort. I noticed that there is an official target (inari) for that device to make B2G developer builds. So I decided to update my sources based on that device and use official Mozilla/CAF sources (previously I was using mix of CM9 and Mozilla sources). Turned out this is a lot easier and cleaner way of doing things. :P

 

All hardware features are now working as far as I tested (RIL, wifi, bluetooth, audio, camera, sdcard, sensors, tetherings, etc). FM radio crashes the device after it has tuned the first station. Unfortunately general stability isn't great either, I've had several reboots during the day. But like before, this is just something to play with so it really doesn't matter. ;)
