ICS ROMS FOR THE ZTE BLADE

These ROMS are not meant for daily use since they are not 100% stable.
They are under development and may have random reboots. I have developed none of the ROMS - These are the works of other developers. Due credits have been given with each ROM. I do not take any responsibility if your phone gets bricked, i.e, it doesn't boot and becomes useless forever. Please read at least the entire first post and these two guides before asking any questions. A big thanks to saaransh9 for giving me thread control
-ZTE Blade - All Things Root
-ZTE Blade FAQ

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do I need to make it work?
- ClockworkMod Recovery (If your phone is rooted, then you can use ROM manager for that)
- 210 MB system partition (At least 180mb)
- A Gen2 Blade (Wbaw's Gen2 TPT v10 would be the best if you have a Gen1 device)
- Patience at first boot. Around 5-7 minutes max!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to know your system partition???
1. Download FreeSpace from Google Play
2. Use Titanium Backup
3. type df or df -h in terminal emulator after typing su
If not around 200MB, use the guide below.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guides:
- Partition and GEN2
- TPT Helper
- Google Now for ICS ROMs

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes of course. Wipe data,delete cache,wipe dalvik. Better to go for a clean flash.

CURRENTLY ALPHA 5

ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true
ro.product.max_num_touch=2
In your build.prop ofc you also need to add permission to /system/etc/permissions/ folder!

How can i add permissions

Btw, sorry for the number of posts

No fix for camera. There are some issues regarding busybox and root. Maybe thats why a2sd is not working.
