[Blade Android Development] sucof:
Changelog could a really nice addition to these rom releases, if possible.
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
Changed stuff

new kernel, automatic gen1 support, automatically calibrate the proximity sensor on first boot, updated google maps, removed google books, back to andorko's 0.5 radio without rds support (fixes battery drain issue), fixed low floating point benchmark score, some other stuff.
[Blade Android Development] tsddave:
Great stuff! Thanks alot :)

Deep sleep

Hi!

First of all, many thanks for your impressive job with our little Blade.

Secondly, since I installed the beta 24 (coming from the b23) the phone doesn't go to sleep anymore. The screen turns off but the battery is drained like crazy and the screen turns on if I press "return" or "home" button. I think this was not the case before.

I'm going back to b23, waiting for the b25! ;)

Thanks again,

Tuc

[Blade Android Development] Carlos_Manuel:
Hi Wbaw! Does this have the music player which is in B21?

:)

EDIT: I tested it! and... the music player can't play some songs and it's not work if I use English language..

the overlocking is good but I don't need it...

and nothing else new? it feels slower than b21 and nothing really much new so I moved back to the GSF Beta21 ROM and now using it.. :)

+ the battery ends fast in B25 that's bad for me!

can I use the boot.img from B25 in GSF B21? does it work and is the battery still good or is it badder then?
[Blade Android Development] carden12:
any pictures?

want to know more info
[Blade Android Development] tsddave:

[Blade Android Development] Adrian8891:
So, what is diffirence between b26 and b25? :)
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
it's just a bug fix release. tethering works (i broke it in b25). should be fewer FCs in apps. a few small kernel updates too.
[Blade Android Development] Nitsson:
Great. Just did a fresh install / upgrade from b13 to b26 and it works perfectly. Very smooth, particularly with Launcher Pro. Only thing though: is there any Clock app that has a tabbed interface for the Alarm, Word Clock, Timer and Stopwatch - e.g. like the native Clock app on the Galaxy SII?

I don't particularly like the Clock app that comes with this ROM (perhaps that is the native ZTE Blade app, don't remember how that looks) as I don't see the point of a Music tab, Home tab and the second tab which looks like a video but doesn't work (shows only a black screen, perhaps as I have no videos).

Much appreciated
[Blade Android Development] boomshine:
hi guys is this ROM better than cyanogen ROM for zte blade? thanks!
[Blade Android Development] Nitsson:
The answer is: 42
[Blade Android Development] tsddave:
CM7 is still in development and is abit behind this rom. The distance gap is closing in all the time though and CM7 is more than useable as an everyday rom.

CM7 does have some extra features though ofc :)

I think its worth trying both for a week or so and then making a choice.

Clockwork mod and Titanium backup make this easy!

Once you have both backed up you can switch back and forth when ever you feel for it.

Works GPS and proximity sensor?

Thanks!!

Thanks.
[Blade Android Development] Adrian8891:
Try to calibrate it trought ZTE eMode helper.
[Blade Android Development] m444266:
not bundled together like in SII..

for alarm look for Alarm Clock Plus. very similar to the alarm in S2 with deskclock too.

for world clock, ucan search for Perfect World Clock.. for timer/stopwatch idk.

anyway, is possible to change the battery icon to circle and shows the battery percent in the status bar? or there only a mod for that.. because u dont like to install a third party app just to see battery percent and it would be nice just to see it in the status bar..

good rom btw, feels like new when OC'd even just to 652..

[Blade Android Development] fattymcdirty:
these is the libra camera...

would some1 be able to implement those drivers into cm7 to make the cm7 blade rom compatible to the libra?

that's the only hardware difference between the libra and the blade:

msm_camera_mt9p111.0

msm_camera_s5k5cagx.0

msm_camera_s5k5cagx_mcnex_qtech.0
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
Thanks for the info on the new camera sensor...

This is the Ginger Stir Fry thread, not CM7. The kernel I just uploaded is for zte libra users that want to use Ginger Stir Fry, it wont work on CM7. Please let me know if it works (on GSF) or not, I don't have a Libra, so can't test it. I have let the CM7 blade developers know what config modification to make.

Edit - missed the mt9p111 driver, wait a few minutes I'll reupload...
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
Can you dump the boot.img from a rom that works with your camera please?
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
new test kernel for zte libra

Please check if your zte libra's camera works in ginger stir fry after flashing this new kernel...

ok, 3rd time lucky (i hope)... if anybody here has a zte libra, try flashing this new kernel on top of ginger stir fry & tell me if your camera works

[Blade Android Development] fattymcdirty:
thanks a LOT... i'll test it as soon as i arrive home from work!

and yes.. i should be able to provide you with a boot.img later on...

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

oh and BY THE WAY:

there does exist a problem for some blade users (als obviously also us libra users) that the touchscreen stops working after the first flash... there does exist a STOCK rom fix for it and afaik cm7 nightlies have this fix already included... is this fix in your rom also included? or COULD you include it in case it's not?... cause i do seem to have such a buggy phone... :/
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
The touchscreen fix should already be in the kernel. I don't have a phone with that touchscreen in it though, so again, let me know if it works or not.

If you have the boot.img from your Libra's original stock rom, it'd be appreciated. Just need the config really.
[Blade Android Development] legendz:
I'm having only 1 issue that's really important to me; after upgrading from b26 I've decided to do clean install on B27, but still have the same problem;

Wi-Fi disconnects when screen's off, even when in Wireless Advanced Options it's set to "Never Sleep" Or "Never sleep when connected".

I'm running some alerts during the night and I can't have the screen on 24h/7, any solution for this, anyone?

Thanks
[Blade Android Development] eucurto:
If by "Libra" you mean the Blade with 5Mpx camera, then i have one (Portuguese SapoA5). And your GSF roms always worked fine, the camera i mean.
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
I don't. I mean the ZTE Libra, not the Sapo A5. They are not the same, they just have the same case design.
[Blade Android Development] fattymcdirty:
so.. here i am.. the camera is NOT working... :(

here's my boot.img backup. i REALLY hope you are able to help... :/ i also get random reboots with your rom, now?...

http://www.file-upload.net/download-3762968/boot.img.html

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

and i also hav the touchscreen problem after 2 reboots... not even reboot heps anymore.. i need to wipe completely and reflash... :/ i won't hope i need to stick to android 2.2 :(
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
These are the camera config options for that kernel...

# CONFIG_MSM_CAMERA_FLASH is not set

# CONFIG_MSM_GEMINI is not set

# CONFIG_CAMERA_N880 is not set

I already set the S5K5CAGX options in the new kernel that I built, plus it has the drivers for all the other different camera types too.

So, it looks like either the camera driver in the kernel source that zte released is broken, there's a conflict with the other camera drivers, or there's something else that needs changing in the rom (like libcamera.so).

I'll need logcats (from a libra running gsf & the new libra kernel that I built) to stand a chance of doing anything. Even then, I might not be able to do much.

It'd be much easier if ZTE weren't violating the GPL & released proper kernel source code.
[Blade Android Development] fattymcdirty:
hm... dang... i was really hoping your kernel would do the trick... it actually IS a gen2 device, right? cause i didn't flash your new kernel right afterwards.. i replaced the boot-gen2.img in your b27 zip... that should do it, shouldn't it?
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
Yeah, that should do it. It was a gen2 boot.img, I don't think there are any gen1 libras, so i just made a gen2 boot.img.

Can you get a logcat of it crashing with that new kernel? You can use alogcat from android market, or adb logcat. paste it onto pastebin & I'll take a look at it.
[Blade Android Development] fattymcdirty:
sure.. here it is... i can see, that it cannot connect to the camera... would be great if you could work sth out:

what does that last post mean?

http://android.modaco.com/topic/346694-zte-libra-camera/page__pid__1810090#entry1810090
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
Thanks for the log, unfortunately it doesn't give me many clues. You could try replacing camera.apk & lib/libcamera* with versions from your stock rom & using the new kernel too. Probably wont work though.

The last post in that thread confirms that my config for the kernel that i posted this afternoon should be right. It obviously doesn't work with the .35 kernel skate source code, or the camera app in the rom (at least one of those).
[Blade Android Development] fattymcdirty:
in other words - stick to 2.2? :/
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
No, in other words it's going to take more effort, then we can hopefully get it working on gsf & cm7.

It's harder because I don't have a libra & neither do the cm7 devs.

Can you get a dmesg & a kmsg for me please?
[Blade Android Development] fattymcdirty:
sure i can... but tomorrow... thanks in advance for your effort... a working solution anytime not so far away would be great!

bug found

Hi wbaw,

first of all, GREAT ROM!!!

I found a bug in b27 which I think no one mentioned yet, it happens sometimes that when I finish a phone call, the BACK Button-LED stays GREEN...

I don't know when it stays green, when I end the call, or the caller does...

to end the green glowing I can

-restart the phone or

-plug in the charger or

-start the LED test in zte emode...

Maybe you can take a look at this.

thanks

Edit: not just after calls, green glowing comes up randomly and stays on...
[Blade Android Development] ImSherlocked:
Even I have the green LED always ON issue!
[Blade Android Development] toniolol:

I'm a new user of yor ROM and I'm glad to flash it !!!

I've the same led strange activation but it's not a big deal and thanks to Pillepalle12 for the method to light it off.

I think you can add a FAQ in second post to answer to all who have the same questions.

By the way, hope you could fix the led activation in another release.
[Blade Android Development] Monfro:
On B27 wbaw tryed to make the notification led working again (on official source code this function is broken): unfortunately on some devices the led stays on.

[Blade Android Development] wjtk:
Thanks wbaw for great rom ;).

I've found few issues. Phone doesn't wibrate on oncoming sms (despite correct settings). When third-party application is open when sms comes it is often automatically closed (not minimized) without any reason.

3D games (like Nova) don't work.

I've updated from b 26 with dalvik-cache.

Proximity sensor and music player

Hi wbaw!

The Proximity sensor not work on my Blade II! I using GSF Beta 27 now!

also music player not work! so I changed music player to CM7 music player now it works!

but when I call then I see blank screen only and I can not stop call or nothing else!

can you please fix them like this: Adding CyanogenMod music.apk to beta 28 and then adding other proximity sensor from B21 or CM to get proximity sencors to work and replacing other calling applications to get it more stable and working to other Blade's too!

I try to fix proximity sensor myself but I don't believe that works!

So Please Can You Fix these 2 problems?

:)
[Blade Android Development] lepidas:
the trouble in calling is also in my ZTE GEN2 but the music player works allright.more about the calling problems,when i make phone calls the screen goes black if it is near or far my ear.please fix this is critical i think.thanx a lot
[Blade Android Development] Pillepalle12:
You have to calibrate your proximity sensor.

Open the APP "ZTE Emode Helper" (already in your APPs) and open Sensor Test and Calibrate the proximity Sensor.

Sorry about all the problems with your other topic, Its really annoying that a few people ruined it for the rest of us. Some people just don't appreciate how much time and effort goes into developing, they just expect the work to be done and for them to eat the fruits.

[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
There isn't much point in continuing with this particular rom now that CM7 has the .35 kernel, new wifi driver & 16bit patch.

CM7 is now better in every possible way & it's a proper community run open source project. GSF was only meant as a stopgap until the .35 kernel source had been released & integrated into CM7. I only made it because I was annoyed about the wifi being killed when the screen was off in roms using the old wifi driver.

Also, official zte android 2.3.5 has been released & nobody noticed for nearly a month :o

And finally, Ice Cream Sandwich may be coming to the Blade very soon.

So, I'll be doing what I can to help improve CM7. I recommend everybody upgrades to CM7. It's way ahead of this rom, lots more cool features, fewer bugs, now the ui is just as fast (with 16bit hack) & the wifi works properly (thanks to the .35 kernel & new wifi driver).

I'll leave the links up here for anybody that still wants gsf, but it's become outdated, it wont get another update & I recommend CM7.

[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
You should get the new 7.1 stable.

You will also need the Google Apps package, it has to be flashed after cm7 because cm7 can't include the Google Apps.

CM7 has it's own thread, so you should use that thread to discuss CM7.
[Blade Android Development] tsddave:
Wbaw

I will go with cm7 now and would like to thank you once again for all your hard work with gsf.

One thing for consideration though....Ice cream sandwich!

Google have said they will release source code for it, it would be great if you did something with it. I guess you have already considered this any thoughts?
