CM11 Developer and Tester thread for ZTE MSM 8x30 devices

I have created a CM11 / Kitkat compatible Kernel that should work with the following devices

ZTE Imperial N9101 (apollo) MSM8930 U.S. Cellular CDMA/LTE
ZTE Overture Z995 (becky) MSM8930 ATT\AIO GSM/LTE
ZTE Unico Z930L (coeus) MSM8930 Straight Talk GSM/LTE
ZTE Dave T83 (demeter) MSM8930 Telstra GSM/LTE
ZTE Source N9511 (hera) MSM8930 Cricket Wireless CDMA/LTE
ZTE Grand S Flex ???? (iris) MSM8930 GSM/LTE
ZTE Sonata / Radiant Z740 (metis) MSM8230 ATT GSM
ZTE Awe N800 (nex) MSM8630 Virgin Mobile CDMA
ZTE Blade Apex ???? (oceanus) MSM8930 ?? GSM/LTE
ZTE Max N5620 (stormer) MSM8930 Boost Mobile CDMA/LTE
ZTE Warp 4G N9510 (warplte) MSM8930 Boost Mobile CDMA/LTE

I have also created a CM11 device tree for the ZTE Radiant, and plan to make trees for the above mentioned devices.

This is still very early in the process, and rbheromax and myself have been trying to fix all the issues. rbheromax has been working with his ZTE Awe, and I have been working with the Radiant, we have received help from jetx2x, Dm47021, and others. METDeath has tested the kernel and ROM and found that it boots the ZTE Overture

But this is a lot of work and we need other people to join in and help out.

I have created a flash-able zip that can be installed on any of the above mentioned devices, the zip should detect which phone you have and flash the appropriate kernel and custom files for that phone


This ROM is not for end usage, there are a lot of things that do not work, it is only intended for people to be able to test and help us fix stuff.

It should be noted that it has only been tested on Radiant, Awe, and Overture so far.

A link to the flashable zip is below and should work with CWM and other recoveries.

Please note that it takes a while for the screen to come with this kernel/rom, so do not get scared, be patient, it should come in like 10 to 15 seconds after the first splash screen.

This zip will not copy the RIL (radio) files for CDMA devices, we need to find some RIL libs that will work with CDMA

I have the Zte Warp 4G and I would be more than happy to test

I have the Zte Warp 4G and I would be more than happy to test

i had an issue were some one with a CDMA phone flashed the ROM and and it messed up their prl and now they cant make phone call and such after restoring stock ROM


so I am probably going to take the RIL (radio files) out of the ROM, or something

I want to wait a little while and see what happened with his phone

 

[Krsmqn]

I'll test.

 

[hroark13]

i posted a new zip that does not copy the RIL files on the CDMA phones

we will need to find some libs that will work with CDMA

 

[DocWebster]

I have an Imperial that I've been itching to modify for a while. Thanks for the love.

 

[DocWebster]

I can't test 4g or the radio because I got the phone to use as a walkman, I really didn't bother to check if it was clean with the carrier and now the chick I bought it from is in trouble for selling hot iPhones. Such is life.

do you have a custom recovery on that phone ?

 

[DocWebster]

yeah, cooldudezach put up CWM a while back that works, he's trying to build another one at the moment.

 

[METDeath]

Do you want us to post issues with the build here or in the device specific forum threads?

yeah, the zip does not flash the ril (radio files) for cdma phones since they screwed up spz0 prl and mdn and he had to get the phone replaced

it only flashes the ril files for gsm phones


i need to get a dev to help getting radio working on cdma devices

 

[TREGIG3]

Flashed on zte awe, can't believe how amazing this rom looks!! Very Nice! Finally KitKat for our brloced Awe (lol). Everything is basically the same as what sirslayerjr said about his warp 4g. I did get a random reboot but after unlocking developer settings I underclocked and it seemed to have no problems after that.

ROM DOWNLOAD Address seems to failure?

Hi, I installed CM11 and it worked, but before I could install GAPPS the phone rebooted by itself, and now I can't make it book in CWM 6.0.4.7 again to install GAPPS. When I try, it says error device not found. I can use the browser and the wifi connection. Is there a way to install GAPPS going to the Play Store webpage? Thanks.

to get into cwm

power off the phone

hold the volume up key and power key
and it should boot into cwm


or enable adb debugging


in Android

press the menu button and choose setting

scroll down and press about phone

scroll down and look for build number

tap build number 10 times very fast, it should say you enable developer options

press back key

go into developer options and enable usb debugging

you may need to install adb driver if you are using windows

Man, worked really fine, I could boot in CWM again!!!... Only one question, I tried to install the GAPPS version for android 4.4.2, but this CWM didn't load it good, two times aborted with status 7 error. I tried a GAPPs version a little older for android 4.3.0 and it worked. It's working now. Do you have an idea why it happened? This older GAPPS can cause any problem or bug?

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

[hroark13]

i would just like to mention that even though my install script says to install gaps

you do not have to for testing hardware

but if you are going to test thoroughly, then it would be a good idea to have it installed

 

[AndersonSaldanha]

Seems to be working fine now, however the GPS is not locking, I will wait and test again tomorrow and let you know. At least know CWM is working fine, and I will be able to install as many times I want.

N9101 apollo here. the ROM installs and boots great but the phone doesn't get recognized as a storage device when I plug it in to my comp. I flash it back and my comp recognizes it right away. all the other problems described thus far also happen and plug in headphones don't register.
