[Q] Firefox OS 1.3 Stable for the ZTE Open - Firefox OS General

Hello there! Can someone help me out please?
I am using the ZTE Open European Standard and I am currently running Firefox OS 1.2 with CWM installed and I am wondering:
Since Firefox OS 1.3 was "released' recently will someone create a CWM installable build of Firefox OS 1.3 with the Firefox branding built to work on the ZTE Open please? I have looked around multiple times and I can't find a build anywhere that will work, and I do not have the knowledge required to compile my own.

P.S: I can't post a link because this is my first post on this site, but the 1.3 notes have officialy been released by Mozilla!

I do yes, and I've already tried the build you posted in this forum and it was very good! I was just having problems with getting data working on it otherwise I'd be using it now. I'm looking for a stable-ish user build of Firefox OS 1.3 at the moment because I love the look of it, but ZTE haven't updated since 1.1... I've emailed them twice and both times they haven't got back to me after saying they would
How good would it be if Mozilla could just release an update to everyone like they do with the web browser

The best i could come up with is this in case you haven't already tried this

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to ftp servers... how do I install one of these builds to my phone? I downloaded the linux zip file (Tar), extracted it, found boot.img userdata.img and system.img, I flashed them to my phone and I'm just in a boot loop, I'm gonna revert back to 1.2 for now. Thank you I really appreciate it, I've tried like 4 different Firefox OS 1.3 though now and none of them have worked, I hope someone makes one soon. I would myself if I understood how to use the Terminal on Linux.

You have to be on V1.0.0B02 to flash custom builds of FF OS 1.3
And one more question: Did your ZTE Open hangs sometimes like not able to touch anything, unable to unlock screen etc?
Thanks

Thank you! I tried flashing from 1.0.0B02 and it worked, however every single build I've tried of 1.3 (from multiple sources) is unstable... Hmm, I got a reply from ZTE by the way saying that people have to request for an update to their "service provider" (whatever that means). That's such a sucky way of dong things, they should try their best to update until they are unable to in my opinion.
No not really, sometimes it does on the lock screen after pressing the power button but only on 1.0.0B02.

Do a google search for Firefox OS 1.2 ZTE Open and click on the Mozilla Hacks website and flash the ZTE beta file, then you will have the default fastboot back on your phone. Then install the 1.1 ZIP update from ZTE... Then from the orange fastboot menu (ONLY AFTER INSTALLING 1.1) empty the cache and if your phone still hangs then do a drop test

hehhee.....Current using "FroYo LEAK! Acer_LiquidF_0.007.00_EMEA-GEN1_05.01.01" , want to upgrade so Downloading now........
I got the problem here when i am using A1 tools to install the ROM is show "your phone is not run OS mode" why???? pls help???? thanks
Good Jobs Thanks.........
updated! seems a little faster than previous leak... maybe a new version will be out ASAP looking at the forum
Sadly, I cannot install either leak on my Liquid. I keep getting "E:Verification Failed" with both (downloaded this one three times).
I have no problems installing the Liquid Galaxy 2.1 ROM though.
i installed it with Acer download tool today on my acer liquid - everything went fine
I don't like new UI - you don't have multiple desktops anymore. It can be started as a separate widget, but it's very inconvenient not to always be able to have access to all your widgets immediately.
For the rest it seems to work fine. Flash and multi-touch zoom work in the browser. Wifi AP works too.

Guys, do I need to install a signed European ROM and then update the FroYo leak through the Acer updater?
Since I have the Rogers version, I obviously cannot update without Malez, which is giving me "verification" and "no script" errors. I've unmounted FS like I'm told to do but to no avail.
I really want to try this ROM. Unlike some folks, I see the potential in Acer's new UI.
Nevermind, I was using the wrong Acer updater.

I have Rogers version - too... in previous Thread i wrote how to install it and how much problems i have. I try to install this Rom 6 times before i was successful. Every time device give me different error and i use Update mode. Later i made it.
Sorry for my English.. just try to install it more times. (and if you need- use Recovery mode)
I finally managed to install it with the official Acer updater tool.
The new interface looks really nice to me. Unfortunately, the History and Gallery shortcuts are too laggy, but otherwise, it looks slick, and I love the pop-up menus when you click on the task bar.
Also, there is a second delay when waking the phone up from standby.
no 3g issues

Well, use the latest(first in list) htc-msm-linux. After the download completes, copy and rename zImage**** to zImage(replace the old zImage) the modules don't need rename, just delete the old modules. I've already posted that in the gingerbread thread, you can read it, take a look at the video, you will like it, I like it
more than FROYO X (I'm talking about the Gingerbread)

There is something you mess up! Mine runs with Launcher Pro
Gingerbread is much better than froyo in general, but as I say there is a lot of work to do (the developers)!

I'll tell you how I'm doing it. I've just downloaded the gingerbread image, I used to boot it
with the pack(haret+startup) of froyo x, and I've updated the kernel, and modules ofcourse, and rootfs optionally! And it works for me.
BTW, try to put the device into 'Airplane Mode' and tell us if it freezes.
I'm really tired now, I'm coming back from work, so bye!

Read that thread and follow the instructions there.
If you cant solve it with those instructions your are much more likely to get an answer from someone with experience with the build or even the creator of the build. Any complaint of a crash or nonstart should come hand in hand with a log.

Is it possible to flash this android custom rom on a ZTE Open?

Hi folks!
I have been looking for some info about our devices and if it's possible to flash an android custom rom on it, but no luck. However, there is a very similar device to the ZTE Open, It's the Alcatel One Touch Fire. It has the same hardware and also brings Firefox OS by default.
There is a custom rom in development for this device and I was just wondering if it's possible to flash it on the ZTE.
I can't post the link because I'm new, but it's easy to find it.
Thanks in advance.
Yes. Just flash in a ROM of ZTE roamer2 (V790)
ZTE Open has the same hardware spec as ZTE roamer2

i have tried lots of Android Roms for ZTE KIS, Roamer2 etc.
all lead to bootloops.
resurrection is pretty easy though, just flash the experimental ZTE FFOS 1.2 and your good.
have not found a working ICS/JB Rom until now.
the phone is crap anyways, since you can't update higher than 1.3 (without any updates then) or stick to 1.1
there are no plans whatsoever from ZTE or Mozilla to remedy this.
Thought i could at least turn it into an emergency phone by flashing a usable Android on it, but it seems that's not going to work either.

"Dude" , whatever, 1.3 is not stable on ZTE Open - i tried. i have built a 1.3 myself (check on here) and the Browser crashes constantly.
there is no updated HW layer available for 1.3 and ZTE is not going to provide one.
Mozilla doesn't care either.
the only thing that happened is they gave you a coupon so you could buy a ZTE Open C cheaper.
burned once... no thanks.
Mozilla obviously is aware of the problem though and they do want to create a phone where they control everything.
that may change the game a bit.
also, all available FFOS devices are madly overpriced for the hardware specs.

Actually any version of FirefoxOS is stable, especially after version 1.2. I found many ROMS, even 2.1, but always have a problem. That is why he was hoping to install some Android ROM on my ZTE Open.

I can honestly say Open C, is worth what I paid for it, I dual boot the phone, run android from sdcard, run FF from phone, the specs aren't the best but worth the price I paid for it, the flame clearly is over priced, and I wont be getting that phone. Open C is most likely the only FF phone I will buy, I like the ideal I can build my own OS, and choose from several different OSes to use. Also I can simply reboot into android when I need to run a navigation app, or want to run an android app.
I have never used Open so don't know about it's problems, Open C is a nice phone, FF runs very well on it as does android, Specs aren't the best this isn't a power house phone, but a very usable phone.

Android Wear 2.0 Beta APK won´t start

Hi,
I installed Android Wear 2.0 beta apk from apkmirror, because my Huawei Watch told me on latest 2.0 dev preview, that it setup has to be continoued on smartphone, but my Android Wear 1.5 app told me, it has to update, even on latest update already installed..
So I downloaded the 2.0 beta apk and now this one can´t start, because it tells me:
"This phone has been flashed with an unsupported configuration for companion.
You must re-flash it as either signed/user or unsigned/userdebug."
I´m on latest cm14 build for OnePlus 3, but also found users, that get this error on official Android.
So whats to do, to get it working? Is it, because I´m not in beta-program for Android Wear APK, just use Dev Preview on my Watch?
If so, how can I participate to APK´s beta program?
EDIT: Finally found way to participate beta program, but app doesn´t work even now.. reinstalled already 3 times
I'm having the same issue with CyanogenMod on my HTC one m8 (w/ LG watch urbane 2)... I did the app the 'right' way... Was about to try apkmirror version but now I see u have the same problem with that...
The answer is in this thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68924594&postcount=285
Edit the build.prop
edit -this is the direct link to the post. Now that I can search and copy urls, I think the first link was wrong thread.
In case anyone else sees this as the answer... be careful when doing that edit.... I did on my HTC One m8 (running cm nightlies).... killed my phone and can't get into recovery to try and revert the change.
Edit: Finally fixed my m8... Moral of the story is: Don't blindly edit the build.prop file... That simple change can, at least in certain cases, cause the phone to not boot.
That solution does not work for me (I'm on cm13 klte snapshot).
Does anyone have another suggestion?

Motorola Xoom Oreo Rom Development

Ok so i have started developing a oreo rom (Android 8.0) for motorola i have made the zip to flash it and will flash and give you guys an update on whats working and whats not and if the zip file works. I started developing about a week ago so nothing will work properly yet.
Update: Forgot to mention its lineage os 15 but I used files from 14.1 I'll be a day or two for a zip file again
Update: Could be months before this comes out cause my computer has 4gb of ram I'm getting a new one soon and putting Ubuntu on to it I know this is frustrating for you but I promise the Xoom will be running Oreo smoothly soon.
Just so you know I'm not making stuff up
I'm sorry for stuffing up I can't send link for prove of video yet
Thank you.
Just read a blog post, https://www.xda-developers.com/android-go-old-android-8-1-oreo/ and came here to ask if anybody is building Oreo ROM for Xoom. It will be awesome to run slimmed down Oreo on Xoom. Its a great device and solid as a rock.
Since I installed Omni Stingray, DS has been using it every day for YouTube.
Thanks again in advance.
With Tegra 2 and 1gb of RAM the Xoom can barely run Lollipop. I don't see it happening for a device this old with so few users.
I am interested in it, but I think it would be very slow as it has only 1GB of RAM.
How about Oreo optimized with Android Go?
I can test it if needed. I have a xoom in a box somewhere. it could be fun
It sounds amazing, it would be exciting to see Oreo on the Xoom tablet.
Android Go might make this plausible; look at the specs of the devices it's been released on.

It sounds amazing, it would be exciting to see Oreo on the Xoom tablet.

Any news? I would love to upgrade my Xoom 2 so that it will run Free Flight Pro and other newer programs.
Exciting

Ok so i have started developing a oreo rom (Android 8.0) for motorola i have made the zip to flash it and will flash and give you guys an update on whats working and whats not and if the zip file works. I started developing about a week ago so nothing will work properly yet.
Update: Forgot to mention its lineage os 15 but I used files from 14.1 I'll be a day or two for a zip file again
Update: Could be months before this comes out cause my computer has 4gb of ram I'm getting a new one soon and putting Ubuntu on to it I know this is frustrating for you but I promise the Xoom will be running Oreo smoothly soon.

Have you made progress? I want to keep using my Wingray/Stingray (s) - thanks.
This would be quite nice. I feel the Xoom quickly outgrew itself. Android was kinda clunky back then: low UI FPS, UI V-SYNC, and lacking overall system hierarchy. It would be refreshing to have a modern firmware build on an older device such as this.
It would really prove the dexterity of the the Android operating system. Not to mention, with the Android Go launcher sitting atop, it might actually be a phesable project for a device with such low hardware specs.
Also, I have mistakenly flashed the stock Honeycomb 3.0.0. Apparently this version of Honeycomb disables access to the MicroSD card reader and thus I cannot flash a ROM onto it from a external media source. I found a method Online for flashing a ROM from the internal NAND. You must use the ADB from a Terminal/Command Prompt to transfer the system image from a PC/Linux Box to the device and then flash it from there.
I do not have a good backup, and the recovery partition is currently blank. So I have been searching for a valid stock ROM of Honeycomb 3.1 with Gapps files included to restore it back to stock but with Root access.
If anyone could assist me that would be great!
what recovery did you use?
Wingray

Was gonna keep surprise but yes I'm working on it i put Oreo on it actually it was very slow so i gave up for a couple of months so yeah that was the delay I'm back into it now though and I'm making the android go version as of right now. I was developing on Wingray so no idea if this will work on Stingray.
GO GO GO waiting for ur rom

Isnt the gapps built in to this rom?
Not sure, I rooted my xoom from day 1 so had to install gapps all the time

I'm using this 7.1.2 from crDroid that works pretty well - can be found on this site - but it is still outdated. Was hoping not to have to recycle this little tablet that I love but it is getting slow slow slow

Same here when it comes to speed. I have one stock, no root running 4.0.4 & another rooted running OmniRom 5.1.1, its not to bad but could be better. Hopefully CLOUTMAN will have some success getting Oreo in some form on out tablets
