Firefox 1.4 is a nice improvement over 1.3

[vampirefo]

I am currently using 1.4 firefox for ZTE Open C, and to me it's a nice improvement over 1.3, has more features, plus just looks better, I am including a Link to some pics below.

Firefox has a way to go to catch android, but this is a great start, I really like my ZTE Open C phone, I have an advantage over most people as I am a android developer, so I can get more out of any OS than most people can, ie make custom recoveries, make backups, compile from source, and so forth.

From a devs point of view this phone has lots of potential.

I agree with you. From a pure aesthetics point of view, I think v1.4 is the best. It blends the horizontal home screen with static "favorites" drawer with the cleaner icons and colors of the v2.x branches.

I'd advise against you moving to v2.x as the usability of the homescreen took one step forward and 3 back in the v2.x branches.

You're also lucky that v1.4 is stable on your Open C It is highly unstable on my Open unfortunately.

It is pretty interesting to see how much each version changes from the one before it, especially since I've tried everything from v1.0 up to v2.1 so far on my Open

Both 1.4 and 2.1 are stable on Open C, 1.4 looks better to me though, I have compiled both versions, in the end I use 1.4 as daily driver.

I will be looking for beta testers soon.

If the build you are using is for EU ZTE Open C phones could you post it so I can install it on my phone?

My builds are for US not EU.

That's a shame, I only have an EU Open C and I would love to test a stable build of 1.4. How long do you think it will be until it is officially released?

I don't know when ZTE will release 1.4 you can compile your own if you want, that's about all you can do til ZTE releases 1.4.

I like the ideal we can compile our own version anytime we want, instead of waiting on ZTE.

I doubt there is much difference between US and EU ZTE Phones, A lot of US users are running EU version on their phones already.

Xda has rules about posting stuff, I have to read up on the rules.
I really, have no interest in leaning how to setup a github just to share recovery

Then why post them in my thread which is for Open C? makes no sense to post links to roms that you know wont work for open C.

I'm sorry. The title is Firefox 1.4 is a nice improvement over 1.3, and not Firefox 1.4 is a nice improvement over 1.3 for the Open C. However, no problem, I have already clarified that devices can be used.

I should have the rom uploaded Friday with instructions how to install, the recovery I will just post else where, Everyone is posting links to their roms, so I should be able to do the same. My Rom is for Open C, no ideal why the other guy is wasting peoples time posting links to roms, that even he knows wont work on Open C.
