Very thankful for your effort Superdragonpt, unfortunately, it seems to hang on boot (it's on bootanimation for +-30 mins now)

1: Check MD5 (Re-Download if needed)

2: If you have the extended userdata Partion MOD, You need to flash the second .zip.

3: Check Intructions



ROM TESTED:
-On my 2 Phones
-Got feedback from 3 other users, it's working ok.


Thanks for testing :)

Did all that, still won't boot :( users on the Facebook are reporting it too. More important though, do you think wifi will be fixable? On my previous phone, the 4.2 rom's were all plagued by bad wifi (Huawei u8800)

OK.

DEV-HOST download its confirmed his MD5 is OK, also downloaded and flashed from the dev-host, and its booting and working.

DO you have the extended userdata MOD, or Not ?

Thanks



EDIT: FOUND THE PROBLEM: Do NOT Wipe Dalvik and Cache AFTER the rom instalation.
Will UPDATE OP

Still not 4.3, but hey... Its good to see developers still interested in our mobiles :D
Obrigado pelo teu trabalho, superdragonpt.

4.3 is buggy. infact, it has been pulled out from OTA (on nexus device that are currently 4.2.2, you check for software update, it will say it is 4.2.2 is latest one, infact, few days ago, there was 4.3 OTA notification), since 4.2.2 is stable, i'd prefer to stay on 4.2.2 instead of 4.3. :)

Rom Flashed:

here's my resume:

- External SD Card - keeps complainting about sd card damaged.

- Bluetooth ? (Don't have any BT Device) - doesn't turn on

- Fm Radio ? (Don't have my original Phones) - seems that theres signal, but frequency cannot be changed from 100Mhz. Even trying to change it to a know radio adding as 100Mhz to favorites and editing to something like 93.2Mhz a power signal radio in Lisbon radio won't shift.
Going throgh EngineerMode is possible to tune up a radio and listen.

- GPS (Not Tested) - not tested too

- Camera - yes, it's a little "pinkinsh" image, but seems to work,

Other bugs found:
- Can't go to About Phone - Gives "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"

Email/3G/Calls/Exchange Email/Exchange Calendar seems to be ok.

Good work!

    dead thread means dead phone?

    Im working on the first custom kernel for this phone
    Its not easy, and its alot of time consuming, since ZTE didnt even provided kernel sources...

    Currently trying to upstream from stock 3.4.0 to kernel version 3.4.5 - 3.4.10
    And fixing LCM/Camera diffs ...
