Is it possible to flash this android custom rom on a ZTE Open? - Firefox OS General

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

LinuxHolic, what was the most recent version of Android you found for your ZTE Open?
I've not been successful in finding any ROMs. Do you think you can link here or private message me?
Thanks!

Have you flashed the Open with this ROM yourself?
I did some searching and I found these:
http://www.ztedevices.com/search.html?keyword=v790 you can get the ROM from the downloads page.
Also this one: http://www.modaco.com/topic/360962-zte-kis-iii-stock-roms/?p=2156977
I haven't tested any of these myself.

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.

[Q] Honeycomb was ported to Armv6 blade. What about ICS?

Hi there,I'm trying to port the SDK dump to my LG P500,which has the same specs like ZTE Blade.
After applying normal methods for making other phones' roms boot and a special patch found here it doesn't even give logcat,so bootloops in recovery.
After doing some research,I discovered that libs are built for armv7,which we don't have. But also Honeycomb SDK libs were built from armv7,but we got it working on both LG P500 and ZTE Blade.
So,any ideas? Just asking
I think honeycomb and below was build from armeabi (To run on the old simulator that was armv6 vfp (but the vfp wasn't used by google).
whereas ics was built for armeabi-v7a
That is certainly implied by the AVD manager anyway.

Thank you for replying
usually only kernel have ARM text and other also init.rc have kernel text if editing them to ARMv6 kernel text then it needs to work in ARMv6 device..
If not, then some files needs editing...
Android 4.0 ICS needs new EGL and hw files which needs to be ARMv6= ZTE Blade/other phone! all phones have own files to work fine!
If someone can edit Android 4.0 libGLES*.so, libEGL.so files and then egl folder files needs editing.. and then hw folder files for Screen, sensors, GPS, Audio, etc.
then them need right files to get work the audio, camera, WiFi...
WiFi files can work if you add older Android OS WiFi files: libhardware-legacy.so or what it is and then right WiFi files to /System/etc/
to get all to work it maybe takes many days and for me more than 9 months because I'm only 14! xD
SDK port is maybe not really good, it's better to port from other device ex: Samsung... then some files works without editing...
manumanfred the sdk was compiled for ARMv7, it's a different cpu, different machine code. It needs recompiling, to be able to do that you need the source code to compile it.
Without source code you're about as likely to get ICS running on your Blade as you are to get your PS3 running Windows 7.
When devices with ICS are available source code will be too, so porting it from another device would be a waste of time.

ICS on the Blade is booting!
But that's all it does
I used this ROM and replaced boot.img with CM N257. In the honeycomb port they fixed the flipped screen with patching libsurfaceflinger.so on offset 1AC90 but that does not work on ICS. Launcher FC's on first boot but does not after reboot.
Could you please upload that booting rom? I tried it and it won't even install. Even if nothing works, I would like to try several things on that to see if I can fix it, so if you upload it I would be very thankful

So correct me if im wrong, but you got ics booting on blade by using the g2 rom and boot.img from CM7 Latest nightly?
If so maybe start a new thread to track progress.

I just tried it 10mins ago, it installs fine does not boot at all, no logcat output... Wonder if he/made any tweaks elsewhere.
I have a O1 somewhere might dig it out, and have a look
I got it booting! Screen is fliped, touchscreen doesn't seem to work at all and I couldn't test anything else because I can't press OK on the first tutorial screen, but it may be something to start with!
I'm uploading it right now, but I think it will take a while as my connection isn't working very well right now, but I'll post the link as soon as it's finished.
EDIT: OK. You'll have to be patient. Apparently, my 20 MB symmetric shared connection doesn't want to upload faster than 50 KB/s. It's always like this in the afternoon: too many people using it LOL. Hopefully it will be uploaded in 25 minutes or so.

OK, fixed flipped screen & resolution. Thanks to smg22rus for the modified libsurfaceflinger.so.
Flashable ROM (for devs only!) can be found here
If you fix something, just post what you did to get it fixed, do not upload the whole ROM again.
That way, this thread stays clean & we have only one ICS ROM (not 10 different ones).

Help! CM10 v.0.8.1 not working. Need latest stock Rom

Hi everyone, I am new to the Thinkpad forums. I just bought a TPT and installed CM10 v.0.8.1. However, the tablet is having endless reboots as the Rom appears very unstable.
Can someone please upload the latest stock Rom from Lenovo? I don't have a backup rom. Thank you!

Which one? ROW? WE? US?
Unless you explicitly need the pen-only mode I recommend trying version 0.7 as it was much more stable than 0.8.1, at least in my experience.

in my case the 0.8.1 is very stable and runs very smooth... i was first on 0.8 which was a desaster... reboots every time and lost some productive data also :/ then i downgraded to 0.7 which was OK, but no pen only mode is very nasty when i try to write on the device e.g in university courses...
so now i'm on 0.8.1 and i have no problems...
maybe it helps if you clean all the caches and stuff?
I moved from 0.6.0 to 0.8.1 and find it MUCH more stable. Pen Only mode work quite well in the new 0.8.1 version too!

I did a few factory resets after installing the rom and I made sure to clean out the caches, etc via clockword recovery before installing the rom.
I am not sure why my TPT is rebooting unexpectedly so much.
I rooted the tablet after upgrading the stock rom to ICS, then got CW mod recovery. I am not sure which version TPT I have. I bought it in the US and it is 16gb if that helps.
Thanks!

if you have installed cm10 you won't find your Information in the 'about the tablet' section. Just install the app ' Android System Info' and look at system/buildinfo/fingerprints. At the end you will find something like 130_WE (i hope thats not an info about whats used by the cm10 build)/( WE = western europe). Besides: i have every now and then a sleep to death with 0.8.1. I havent had those with 0.8.0. I tried a lot and so far only one thing works - i turned of the light sensor. ( works at least since a few hours)

[Q] Firefox OS 1.3 Stable for the ZTE Open

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.

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.

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

Best ROM for the P7000

Stock vs CM vs Vibe
We were supposed to get 5 different polished ROMs and, instead of that, we need to find our way to get a barely working phone.
Which is the most stable? Which is the most beautiful?
Those lucky enough to have received the phone, speak.

What's your deal? Taking so much bull**** that you need to spread it?
Right now I'm using MDS rom it's working good. Everything is working. Supersu is updated and xposed is too. I'm still having some visual problems but nothing to worry about... My album art work wasn't working on stock but it is on this ROM. They just took stock and made it better... I do have a question. Can you send me cm12.1 that I can flash in CWM. I can't get the tool to work for me.

look, the way you asked the question is how you got the first reponse. the same can be asked with you, whats your deal?
just calm down and let it go. keep it clean.
also what works for the other users might not work for you. so much hype around this phone and they didn't dissapoint-they market the item well and always sell half finished goods.
maybe the only good thing going for it is they "might" release source code which they should be doing any way so the community irons out the bugs.
they're trying a different approach with the P8000 saying we will give out the kernel source code blah blah blah developer friendly etc but i will wait and see. i tried for 3 weeks to get P7000 in flash sales. twice i had in my basket trying to check out and the price jumped from 159usd to 209usd by the time i checked out. i thought it was a sign, wait... wait until reviews and see if any shipping issues. i'm glad i did.
now to answer your question to the best of my ability...the stock rom is the only one that i know off that allows the fingerprint reader to work properly.
each of the other firmwares have their advantages and disadvantages.
XDA doesn't allow "best rom" threads but i understand where you are coming from.
are you looking in terms of stability or most working features?
look @ my signature, so far is the best rom, few bugs that needs to be iron out "other roms have not been updated recently"

I agree with you. Avecilla's Rom is the best by now. Everything works smoothly

Yes there is. Please test it and report back because I too am having problems with A2DP bluetooth audio and my car: only plays on the first try. If I close the app and open it again, it does not send any audio through.
A new version of the stock OS came in OTA. If you want to test it you have to reset to the stock rom and install the OTA update. It's way more fluid than the original, seriously for me it was day and night. I didn't get trouble with the photo and the new launcher is nice. It's still Android 5.0.

Hi! I want to try this OTA, but when I try to download any system update I get the message "Your system was damaged, update is not possible". I am currently using the stock ROM! How can I install this new version that you have mentioned? Thanks a lot!

Is it possible to install Cyanogenmod on a GT I9507?

Was just wondering if it was possible and if so, what version of Cyanogenmod would I need?
First off, there is no more CyanogenMod. The CyanogenMod people started a new project called Lineage.
Now to answer your question. Yes, it is possible.
The Optimized LineageOS ROM should work on your device.

Ok, thanks.
Is it easy to install? (my first Android phone and my first time installing a custom rom)

The install process is a subjective matter.
For me it's easy since I've been doing these things for over 4 years.
For you it might seem complicated at first.
There are various guides and video tutorials that will show you how to do it. The process is usually the same for every phone and for every ROM.

Fair enough, I guess I'll have to educate myself on the matter before attmepting to install anything.
I do have a couple more questions;
1. Does Lineage improve performance and battery life like Cyanogenmod claims to do?
2. I think Lineage is based on a newer OS (Android 7.x.x) then my phone natively supports (Android 5.0.1), would that be an issue?

Yes, although the LineageOS guys, the XDA community and devs (who work on it for free, during their spare time) manage to port the last version of Android to this device, you can expect some bugs, a degraded camera quality (because of proprietary blobs Samsung do not publish), and to loose some functionalities (smart pause, smart scroll).
However, the stock Android experience is worth the switch and you will learn a lot of things here, which is invaluable.
Try the unofficial LineageOS by side (original development forum).
Ok, thanks for the answers
Last question, would you be able to send me a download link to it? I couldn't find the right one for my phone.

I already told you, you need the Optimized Lineage ROM. It has your device listed as "supported".
It's in the GT-I9505 Original Development section. Impossible to miss, it's always around the top of the list.
And it is universal, meaning that there is no special version for your device.
Do note that the developer himself has a GT-I9505, and so do most of his test team members. So there's no guarantee that it will be a flawless experience.
Sorry, I must've missed that. Will report back once I get it installed
Thanks for all the help
Edit: On the download page there's two different versions
"Optimized-LineageOS-14.1-20170120-jflte-AROMA.zip"
and
" Optimized-LineageOS-14.1-20170120-jflte.zip"
Which one do I download?
YAY, it's all set-up and working now. Thank you all very much
Whenever I lock my phone, the screen stops working. I then have to restart my phone to get the screen working again. Any solutions?

Use the stock kernel. On the download page there should be an "extras" folder.
If you can't find it then download the aroma version and flash it. This one gives you some options during the install process.
Thanks, that fixed the issue.
Got another question,
How do I make my phone show up on my PC? Like it shows up as "GT-I9507" but when I open it, it's just empty. Before on stock Android it had 2 main folders, something like "Internal" or "System" and "SDCard" and they both had multiple subfolders.

That I do not know.
Should work straight away normally.
Try enabling/disabling USB debugging while the phone is connected.
Tried that, still nothing

Select notification "USB charging this device" or anything similar, select MTP. It'll auto reconnect and it should work.
Sent from my Redmi 3 using XDA Labs
Oh, yeah. Try what he said.
I haven't connected my phone to a PC in years, so I wouldn't know what to do.
