oops i forgot i will update it soon maybe in an hour
Hi Saaransh!

I would like to update my Dell XCD35 to ColdFusionX. Please let me where to start from.

I am little confused about so many links and steps about TPT and other apps on the first page as i understand all the steps except the first one i.e.
- Format System in Mounts and Storage:

=============================
Format System in Mounts and Storage.
- Flash the ROM and reboot.
- wait for 5 mins
- Flash Gapps and reboot.
- Reboot and wait for 5 mins.
=============================

Regards

I presume you have clockworkmod recovery installed, if not do it using rom manager from play store.
now, not into recovery by long press power button and go to the option which reads ..mount and storage and format system... +you don't need to tpt your phone cause there is enough memory in the stock system partition. Good luck :)

airplane mode fixed,bluetooth fixed and some other small performance fixes.

but CFX is still faster there are many guys compiling CM9 and CFX from source.

u will require large partition for cm9 so before installing full gapps u should check the space available.(even 215 mb might fall short for full gapps)


here is targetbsp's CFX with airplane fixed

there might even be another built by tilal before he takes a break for his exams

Yesterday I've installed update-cm-9-20120415-NIGHTLY-blade-signed.zip. It's working smooth, but it's also eating my battery. The battery stats are telling me that the screen was using about 70% of the battery. Strange, because my blade was almost completely standby (with a black screen, of course). :confused:

Is there anything I can do?

How much autonomy do you have? I managed to get nearly 2days with 2g data (EDGE) always on and some sms (about 15-20), whatsapp and a call (about 15 mins).

Did you follow all the step to install CFX (system repartition, system format, install and full wipe AFTER install?)? Does your phone sleep when you leave it with wifi on (to test, wait for some mins after the screen turns off, then press the MENU button. If your blade turns on, then it's not sleeping as it should and you should report it to tital's github bug tracker with a logcat)?

    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

    Anyone still interested should try http://blade.az.pl/index.php/sej-s-rom/cm9/12-cm9-android-4-04-compiled-by-sej-22-04-2012

    Its cm9 built from its source and not cfx.

    We might see official cm9 coming to blade soon as blade has been added to the cm gitub
