Thanks for the new kernel!Im using it on t0mm13b's AOSP Gingerbread rom and it works great!The slight lag in the ui seems to be gone (i was using your earlier kernel so all comments are made in comparison to that). I am facing a problem with the wifi since im using aosp gb it cant be the rom and it worked fine before installing the kernel. What happens is that whenever the screen turns off(my wifi sleep policy is set to never) the wifi gets disconnected and then when i turn the screen on the wifi tries to connect but it cant it just shows scanning and when i manually try and connect to the router nothing happens!I have to turn the wifi off and then turn it on again to get it to work.I also had a settings fc after which the same problem with the wifi happened..

Logcat:http://pastebin.com/MhT6dMY6

Edit: Ive also had two Sleep of deaths one before the logcat and i just had another one now..
[Blade General] nitsos:
You have to full wipe(data-cash-dalvic):)

EDIT: I was wrong,it happens to me also!!!:(
[Blade General] xyz`1:
Yeah the SOD's are also a bug just had another one now will flash your previous kernel again..
[Blade General] wbaw:
This kernel is for CM7. The ramdisk contains init files for cm7. You'll need to fix your own ramdisk / ask t0mm13b, this is a CM7 thread.
[Blade General] nitsos:
there is an issue with thiw kernel with the wifi.

Yoy can't turn it on after you turn it off.Yoy have to reboot to get the wifi back

EDIT:WRONG POST...IT WAS MY FAULT ROOTER
[Blade General] T.H.E.:
Thanks for new kernel wbaw!
[Blade General] xyz`1:
But in the thread t0mm13b said hes using cm7s device/zte/blade tree in this and that all kernels compiled for the rom must be vmsplit3g isnt that enough for the kernel to work?Sorry for writing this in the cm7 thread..thanks
[Blade General] wbaw:
This is a boot.img, it contains the cm7 init ramdisk. You'd need to split ramdisks & mess about. The kernel itself should work, it's just the init scripts included with it are for CM7.
[Blade General] Gokh:
With the new kernel my phone doesn't wake up when it is in deep sleep :confused:
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
That's exactly what xyz`1 said. Its called a. Sleep of Death
[Blade General] wbaw:
I just got it too, for the first time. I hardly even changed anything from the version I've been running fine on my phone for weeks too... no idea what's causing it.

Wifi seems a bit screwed too, randomly.

I expected to screw it up sooner or later with the number of patches I was adding, expected it to happen sooner really - it was just experimental to test out some patches that could eventually be added to CyanogenMod.

I'll do another version based on Tom G's & add a few patches from my old kernel to it (undervolting, gpu write-combining, updated ondemand cpufreq governor, no fsync, etc). I started work on it this morning just after I compiled mine.

It's not ready yet, but you can watch my progress here: https://github.com/John-Kenney/kernel_zte_blade/commits/2.6.35
[Blade General] wbaw:
Well, I fixed 2/3 of the bugs. Still can't disable wifi, but wifi stays on now (that was the old wifi driver i tried) & sleep of death (maybe wifi driver too, or a couple of small patches i reverted) should be fixed too... so this is my fixed up kernel.

http://depositfiles.com/files/eitt18vok

source code - https://github.com/John-Kenney/zte-turies-35

Features over standard cm7 are: undervolting for wifi & cpu, fsync disabled, updated ondemand cpu governor with more responsive settings, a few other optimisations, new zte camera libs, everything that was in burstlam's kernel, cache on tmpfs & the can't disable wifi bug.
[Blade General] aman.droid:
i am currently on burgerz 3apr build with your old kernal, i want to flash your new kernal does i have to do full wipe or cleaning dalvik cache is alright???
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
No need to wipe when flashing wbaws new kernel i will also be adding it to the front page like always
[Blade General] [] AL []:
Hey guys, long time no see!!

First off, sorry to post this here, but I know that all the knowledgeable Blade people read this tread so here it is...

My gf seems to have issues with her Blade regarding SMS; some messages come in fine but others, she never get them.

Her phone is currently running Targetbsp's Feb26th Kang (with it's default boot.img) and other than that issue, everything seems to run fine.

I do not have access to her phone very often for debugging/rom testing purposes, so that's why I try to minimize the changes (of ROM) and stick with what works [so please do not just tell me to install the latest build..unless you're sure that the risk of new bugs is minimal ;)]

So I'm wondering if she has the proper baseband installed for our network.

On my phone (also running cm7), there is a baseband selection option within settings and I can easily change that to match our carrier's frequency. But on her Blade, I don't seems to find such option; I even don't find any bp_nvm_default folder where radio files are stored on mine.

So anyone has a suggestion for me in this matter?

Anyone experienced such issue before with CM7 on the Blade?

How can I try to fix her SMS problems once I get my hands on her phone later on?

Thanks a bunch.
[Blade General] Gokh:
This is a probleme with gingerbread, some sms dont come, try this app for see https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.sineo.android.GhostSMS

Send from my ZTE Blade!
[Blade General] saaransh9:
i never had such problem but it might be some problem with the settings i did change it the first time i changes to cm but m not sure what i did
[Blade General] [] AL []:
I believe it is a 256Mb -yes (and unfortunately:().

This is also what I suspect that is going on [as opposed to the 'GB problem'..].

I knew that there was an option to keep the launcher in memory but not the messaging app; I will sure have a look/try at it later -as she'll be out of town for the next few days and the SMS Ghostly method does work for now...

I'm kind of worried to set both options on as the ram is extremely limited on her phone and could affect how the other apps perform with even more limited memory. But launcher redraws exiting any app and now that messaging problem..., I might have no choice since those are pretty much 2 of the 3 most important functions of the phone...That just proves how bad that choice of design was to start with... :mad:

Anyway.. thanks
[Blade General] RomWiz:
Any screenshots?

Sent from my AOKP phone
[Blade General] wbaw:
It's probably why there isn't any official ZTE Gingerbread for 256mb Blades. I never have these problems on my San Francisco.
[Blade General] carbonize:
Anyone else finding that Beats Audio & Sony Xloud Flash Via CWM gives them an error when they try to flash it?
[Blade General] carbonize:
Well installed What's kernel, beats audio and Bravia hack and my battery life was terrible. Not sure if it's one mod in particular or a combination of all three.
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
I got lower life when I installed wbaw's kernel too. That's why I reverted to the old cm7 kernel

Try

-turning off sync

-reducing brightness

-not overclocking too high
[Blade General] carbonize:
Quite surprised at it being the kernel as I thought it supported undervolting.

As to overclocking I only have it at 690.
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
Well it can't be beats audio since that's only used when volume is playing. It could be the bravia engine also
[Blade General] carbonize:
I just reinstalled the kang so that should of restored everything.
[Blade General] :
Is there an official Gb for 512 blades then ?
[Blade General] wbaw:
Yes, there are a few. Swedish Blades have Gingerbread, there's a Russian operator & a few generic builds too - the 4g4g in the file/build name says it's for 512mb blades. They'll still work on 256mb Blades, but you might have low memory problems, like the messaging app and/or launcher being killed & reloaded to save memory.

China Unicom builds (for 256mb Chinese Blades) are still 2.2, even though they're fairly recent.
[Blade General] stkfigure:
So, as of now, what is the best ROM if i need good battery life and performance?

And can I get links to the ROM, and the kernels and other things that I need to flash? Thanks :)
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
I recommend burgerz cm7.2 kang. I get 7 hours of battery with 3G and xda and little gaming. Everything cab be found on burgerz dot pro website. As for tbw addons like Bravia etc., they are in saaransh's signature
[Blade General] stkfigure:
Thanks :) But what all addons do you suggest I use? And the kernel? Sorry for asking so many questions :P I haven't been following the thread lately, exams. <.<
[Blade General] stkfigure:
Au contraire, I read somewhere that the sej kernel is better? Or would you say that the wbaw kernel kicksass? :P
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
Exactly mate. Wbaws kicks ass :p
[Blade General] stanangel:
Is this rom better/ more stable than cm7.1 ?
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
It has many more features like soft buttons, etc
[Blade General] stanangel:
Sorry because i ask this here, but can i flash the new adreno libs on CM 7.1 too? Does it works on CM 7.1? Thanks!
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
Yes u can. They work perfectly

*************

Xda rule : don't say thanks. Press it -->
[Blade General] youngsta2010:
Found the proprietary files go in /vendor/zte/blade/ can someone tell me where to put new libs? Thanks.
[Blade General] Rochey21:
Total N00b question, I installed the rom, but I cant get beats to install. When I install from zip, it says its installed but doesn't show up when I reboot.
[Blade General] yash_p90:
Beats audio is not an app. It just modifies the sound quality when you play music. You should notice the difference when you plug in your earphones!
[Blade General] :
Wbaw, any updates for ur kernel? My phone reboots when I turn on/off wifi some times.
[Blade General] saaransh9:
Just noticed Cm 7.2 rc 2 released a few daysback
[Blade General] yash_p90:
Did any try CM 7.2 RC2.?

Has the battery drain issue been fixed?
[Blade General] saaransh9:
It has been fixed long way back
[Blade General] yash_p90:
CM 7.2 RC1 had lots of battery drain. That is why i asked. I have not tried the KANG builds in this thread yet!
[Blade General] karthiknr:
I'm thinking of switching to a KANG build. Which would be the fastest build that would give me better battery life over the others?
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
I get 30h battery with 2G on on standby.

BurgerZ kang
[Blade General] yash_p90:
Ok. Ill try that.
[Blade General] karthiknr:

[Blade General] archish:
For long time I been looking for a kernel with all optimized patches for blade... SS RLS7 was one which had all the stable patches from burstlam and wbaw git hub. So after little fiddling finally I made my first kernel compile :)

Battery life should be little better than stock cm7 kernel and minor issues like cpu spy not working in Sejis kernel build should be also fixed.

Has Kernel + Wifi Patches.

Its not thoroughly tested, apply at your own risk :P

Patch it via CWR

Based on KonstaT git hub, which is based on burstlam and wbaw git hub.

Kernel features:

-overclock support

-AHB overclock

-undervolted CPU & wifi adapter

-overclocked GPU and AXI bus

-EXT4, TUN, CIFS, etc...

-support for 2-way-call-recording

-governors: minmax, InteractiveX, lagfree, SmartassV2, SavagedZen, conservative, powersave, ondemand, performance

-I/O schedulers: noop, deadline, vr, bfq, cfq, sio

-much more...

Original thanks to burstlam, wbaw and KonstaT,....

Thank you very much for this kernel, it really does increase performance and I didn't notice any faster battery draining so far, vr scheduler is really great! :)
[Blade General] jesuita:
Hello.

I'm looking for a way to disable the zoom effect when you unlock the phone using the Ring lockscreen.

Is there any config file to do this? Or maybe a file i can get from another rom?
[Blade General] Gokh:
In sej's old build, there is a patch for disable this animation, in his site too but idk how to apply it

Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work creating great roms and themes. That goes to the devs of cyanogenmod. Wbaw. Sej. Konsta and maby more... I have just got a galaxy s2 and while its blindingly fast after ny blade i am already missing my weekly flash;)
[Blade General] naifdamudi:
Been using this rom for last couple of month, phone is stable but battery backup seems to be bad for me. I've no idea if its battery itself or kernel/rom.

Anyway, why there's no option for undervolt? I've SE W8 running cm7 and its has option to under volt CPU as well as overclock.

Regards

Send from Blade with CM7.x mod
[Blade General] carbonize:
Because undervolting is something built in to the kernel and is usually not an easy option to change due to the risks.

I have build num 26.03.2012-BurgerZ flashed can I simply flash the one in the first post over the top, reboot, and all settings and data are as before or will I have to redo everything?

I know it hasnt "the best kernel", but which one are you liking at most?

I guess I found a bug with the WIFI on this kernel..

When im with the facebook messenger app on I only get the messages when i reopen the app..

I get no notifications when the app is running in the background, and when its not on the background i dont need them.

I hope you understand what I mean...

[Blade General] naifdamudi:
After using coldfusionx ics for about a month, I can say I'm happy to move on. Cm7 is good but I'm willing to settle for cfx. Everything seems fine no major issue.

I guess its time to say goodbye to gingerbread, and thanks to those who spend hours working on it. I never really thought too much about open source but after seeing result of android open source development its safe to say I'm truly big fan. I used to lean towards closed source.

I too have an idea blade and it works fine for me.
[Blade General] hene193:
So can I overclock my blade in those roms? ( sorry for noob question)
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
yes mate just go to cyanogen settings -> performance -> cpu settings you will be able to change the cpu frequency there :)
[Blade General] karthiknr:
Good ROM:) Battery life's better.
[Blade General] saaransh9:
which one r u using

i heard 9 feb has some problem and light sensor isn't working.
[Blade General] hene193:
You have to calibrate it (my blade did it too)
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
the latest 9 FEB build does have a problem with the light sensor but there is a CWM patch to fix the problem it is available on the first post in BurgerZ website
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
I have been testing the latest build from burgerz 13th feb so far i have had no freezes or crashes letting you know so far that the rom is stable.

Device: ZTE Blade Oled Version UK TPT GEN2
[Blade General] termagazis:
hello!which is the max frequency that it can work without freezing and rebooting?thanks!
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
its not the same for all phones mate the max frequency is not the same for all blades for example mine overclocks to 748 and a friends blade overclocks to 700 (this is only an example) you have to experiment with the overclocking feature to find the one that's stable for you

Please note: A mod for cyanogen 7 Kang development has been added to the first post by Rapier07 the mod is center clock & transparent statusbar enjoy guys and dont forget to thank him
[Blade General] wee22s:
is there an undo zip for the center clock?
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
I will not be available a lot for questions this weekend due to being on vacation i have uploaded a new CM7 mod transparent status bar mod enjoy guys there is the link on the first thread

[Blade General] [] AL []:
Hi there,

Sorry for the noob question but I'm not used to installing roms on an unlocked bootloader device and one with very limited ram as well...

I've installed cm7 on my gf's blade following this thread and using this rom but it is old already and I've noticed a couple small bugs [like the volume rocker wake no working].

But what I wonder is [for a guarrenteed "Thanks" hit ;)] if and how you guys install it on an sd card partition instead? Does that help things with the Blade's limited ram? Could you give me some pointers on how to do this?

Any suggestion and link to the best (and hopefully bug-free) cm7 build would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and no rush; I'll bookmark this thread and checked back in a few days.

Have a good vacation mate.

Cheers
[Blade General] Rapier07:
There is. Check out my thread in the themes section :)
[Blade General] Rapier07:
@AL

The builds by BurgerZ are latest and pretty much stable
[Blade General] hene193:
Am i in heaven?

This rom has original android launcher <3

For using this 15min it looks like normal cm7 without that crappy launcher.

Thank you
[Blade General] karthiknr:
9th Feb version. No problems so far. I added emode and emode helper from wbaw's GSF and calibrated the light sensor.
[Blade General] [] AL []:
Cool - thanks; I've already got the one from the OP downloaded...just waiting to get a hand on my gf's phone...

I was just wondering if there was any other 'official' cm7 threads here on xda. I'm not registered on Modaco and don't really plan to do so either... But if Burgerz builds are good, I'll stick with this thread then. Thanks again to Kannibalism btw.

But question my remains: are you guys installing the rom on the sd card (or any other special installation other than with just custom recovery) to help with the Blade's limited available ram? What was that 160MB partition for the system all about? Sorry again for repeating a n003 question.

/A
[Blade General] Kannibalism:
Hey mate i installed the rom over the stock rom i never tried installing on the sd card but i will research a little about this. If im nit mistake there was an app to install 2 different roms. Once i arrive home i will try to find itobce again
[Blade General] wee22s:
Thanks man. By the way, is it applicable to all cm7 based rom? Im currently on blade ics by senki. Will it work on this?
[Blade General] Gokh:
I think you can add targetbsp kang, no? they are clean build without modification

Send from my awsome ZTE Blade!
[Blade General] Rapier07:
Give it a try. If it doesn't work you can flash the undo.zip to revert :)
[Blade General] [] AL []:
Oh I see - thanks.

It's your previous answer here that threw me off and made me think that I was missing something about the Blade's rom installation process...

I've once installed an ICS alpha build (as dual boot) on my Defy using the method from here -which requires 2ndInit btw. And although the ICS build was really not of the greatest rom at that time (it was one of the very first custom ICS ports...), having it installed on SD card did not seem to slow things down noticeably...

But anyhow, no rush on this at all. I'm not even sure that it would/could actually help anything with the Blade RAM usage... but seeing only ~135MB total is hard to deal with... :(
[Blade General] karthiknr:
The Blade has 3 partitions of total size of about 512 mb. One is the system partition in which the ROM's System fits into. One is Cache where the file data is saved. One is for the user for the installed applications.

This ROM along with the Google Apps fits into 160mb thereby making a partition layout of 160mb enough for the System partition.

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

Is multiboot possible in Blade?

Btw,i've just opened a thread regarding it in the General section. Hopefully i'll find answers.
[Blade General] nitsos:
great fast rom ,thanks .Working fine!!!:D
[Blade General] [] AL []:
Thanks.

I know about the three partitions Android uses; I just don't know exactly how to set one (or more) of them on the sd card so that the ram is better/fully used.

Don't know about about multiboot on Blade; I wrote "my Defy".. but in the light of the paragraph above, I wouldn't keep too high expectations on this...

Edit: I've noticed this post related to the RAM topic and I've just PM'd Amphoras about it...so let's see what he has to say and I'll get back on it..

Later edit: wbaw gave a good answer to the question "Is dual-boot possible on Blade?" here. It also seems that installing the custom rom on the sd card would not help to much either... So I'll just forget about that idea.. Thanks guys anyway - it was worth a try...

And btw: the latest build from burstlam is awesome and the phone works pretty well now; just go read my answer to wbaw for rom's link and details.

Cheers.
