Is there currently, or will there ever be, any development for custom recoveries or roms for the ZTE N800 Awe?
Picked this up on Black Friday for $20 and it is by far one of the best phones I've owned yet, which is saying something. Just look at my signature. And I have a half-bricked GSIII I'm close to having fixed but for the while this ZTE Awe is phenomenal! After rooting, unlocked its (for whatever reason) locked 2nd core and it seriously flies. Gaming isnt an issue, even if it is a bit underpowered. COD: BOZ runs like a champ, Modern Combat 4, Nova 3...and thats WITHOUT the 2nd core unlocked to save battery. If we had some serious development for kernels and roms this phone would be an absolute gem. When I get a few free moments I'll update with a Quadrant score and as a bonus a recording (yes, live gameplay from the device itself) of me playing something.
C'mon devs! Please make this happen?!
Edit: Overclock achieved! Quadrant score from my own most recent test at 1.94ghz performance on both cores. Was getting higher scores but I got too much crap on my phone >_< Check out http://www.androidforums.com/awe-all-things-root for the tut and test for yourself!:good::good::good:
Credits to rbheromax (sorry i forgot you bro!), cooldudezach and junkie2100 for their work, me and zeruth helped test. Here's to whatever comes next!

I also got this phone on Black Friday and it's a decent phone with the Snapdragon 400 CPU. MSM8630 dual core at 1.2 ghz. I rooted with Cydia Impactor and themed with Kit Kat bootanimation and UI sounds
How do you know if the second core is active? Is it automatically active when you root it?
I wanted to put CWM recovery on this but can't seem to find a method to get it on here.... does anyone know?
I've tried to install the new Google Experience Launcher on this phone even though it is running 4.1.2 with the latest Google Search apk but as soon as I run the launcher I get a force close from Google Search. I can't get it to work. I even tried replacing the library file with no success... I think something else is running in the background that is conflicting but I don't know how to find out what it is....
My wifi seems to lock up after the phone has been on for a few hours and I have to reboot it to get it to come back... any clues as to why that is happening?

the 2nd core needs to be activated with any CPU tweaker. i use Android Tuner Pro, gives LOTS of options that have sped up my phone. also a free version.
there isnt any CWM or TWRP or any custom recoveries at all yet, which is why i was making the request. also (as you could imagine) no roms.
Google Experience Launcher isnt gonna work on this phone. tried myself, ended up locking up the phone and had to restore and reroot to be able to use it again. i use Nova Launcher. best there is in my opinion. Apex was pretty amazing too, but hogged a little too much memory.
My wifi keeps turning itself on even after i turn it off. i dont have wifi except at work so its useless to me. dunno why that is. did you get the Application Enhancement update? dont know what it was really for, but it went through anyway.
To above last paragraph, disable network optimization.

I also just rooted with Cydia Impactor.
This is a great little phone for $20!!!
If only it could be unlocked to use on networks other than VM
I'm just using it as a media device for now - use it to control my MK808B, Magic Jack calls, Skype etc.
Seems more than fast enough for me and it got around 4900 in Quadrant and 13700 in Antutu.

Ive reached over 5300 a time or too. There may be a way of getting it on Boost Mobile, as I have obtained my MSL using MEID Converter from the Play Store quite easily. ZTE is really stingy with their source for the kernel, even though it is hosted on their site. Maybe someone can snag it and work with it. I'm not much of a programmer and dont understand a lot of the framework. I only customize, flash roms, test and unlock/flash to different carriers where available. I'm trying to learn how to build for the GSIII, but so far I'm just getting headaches lol. Id be more than willing to put my device up for testing anything if someone could come up with something. As it is its still an awesome piece of hardware!

I am completely confused. The only thread I could find doesnt mention what phone hes working on til way down the thread, then says hes working on it for the warp, then he found the kernel source for a "similar" phone the awe n800, and never again mentions which device the recovery is for.

Apparently google wasnt my friend today>_< more than likely gonna wait to see if they make any progress with the kernel and custom roms until I flash it though. Easy enough to just unroot if for whatever reason I have to replace it. Sure wish there was an MSL get for the Galaxy SIII S960L to try an flash my service over. 4g VM would be lovely, but I love the Awe so far.
Also working on those videos I was talking about in the OP. Editing them down now, taking longer than I anticipated. SCR Screen Recorder Pro caused some major slowdown as I expected but it was really exciting to see the potential this device has!

So ive checked out the All Things Root section on androidforums and they have a working OC kernel! Amazing how fast this got out.

If your phone lags as you say, and you are on gingerbread, you should do more research.
Want a tip?
Everytime the phone lags, random reboots or you have other problems or issues- simply Odin your phone and you won =)

do a factory reset 3 times and clear caches 3 times. i would say just a bad flash. my phone runs super fast and smooth.
Look i didnt want to be rude or anything im just having a hard time with this phone. And ive done eveything i know to fix it, Odin stock 2.2.1 , stock 2.3.4 and stock2.3.6 and valhalla and octane via cwm. But i dont know what it is that everytime im done installing my apps and games the phone acts up. I have the link2sd running i have the fota fix i have the battery calibrate and like i said the kj1 kernel and the adrenaline shot v12. i dont know whats wrong is it an app? a game? I really dont know and another thing is whats the best rom for this device and should i leave it like it is or shliud i install other things with it. Thats really my question.

From a clean install I have been on Valhalla... but until the latest universal adrenaline it did not seem the way I thought it should. Now my phone flies.
I'd be willing to bet your issues stem from a bad app causing an issue... have you researched that at all?
I would also encourage installing QuickPic and freezing the stock gallery... it is a CPU HOG!! QuickPic is liter and has a ton more options. I'm not affiliated... just noticed the stock gallery at times could take 50-60% of the CPU, even when I was not using it. F that.
Also, the newest Valhalla will be built off the newest OFFICIAL gingerbread... and we have source now for GB... so, things are on the up and up. Hold on to the phone for a bit.
I've noticed (at least for me) that restoring data through titanium gives me force close issues sometimes.

Hiya.
I think that if you start a thread with I hate my phone, you should expect more than flaming. It would be better that if you did your research and didn't found what you want. Then how about starting your post with something more detailed or, what you did to your phone in steps, to see if someone could help you in better way. Also I've seen a lot in this forum from people demanding, using every gibberish word that they could find, and SO they still get helped.
There're still few good fellas out there that love to help no matter what words you use.
My 2 cents

This perfectly summarizes your original post in this thread. You'd get more help if you made a post actually asking for help, instead of just bashing the phone. There are many of us here that have zero lag, and very smooth running apps.

There are a couple of things that can cause this. but some more info is needed about your phone.
I believe your problem is that you are using the Link2sd app. It has been my experience that it does not play well with Gingerbread. It has given me problems when I link to my external SDcard.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong but the last I heard Link2sd doesn't work properly on Gingerbread regarding EXT4 on the external SDcard?
Do you have your voodoo enabled?
Just asking..
So i should get rid of the link2sd app?? and what about using another kernel like kj1 and the adrenaline shot XIX?? and yes the voodoo is enable. Anothet thing if i just use the fota fix apk to get more internal memory. Can i install most of my apps?? right now i have like 25 apps besides the stock ones

I've been using Link2Sd for about 2 weeks now on both Valhalla and Octane, and I have not had any problems at all. I just let it move the Apps automatically and then I use the Create Link feature and it does the rest. I have 92 Apps and I still have around 250mb of space left.

Try again
I don't get the flame, either. You're having problems with your phone and came looking for advice (I assume). This is my sixth phone and I like the SGS4G quite a bit. I suggest you flash again with the stock KD1, then flash the Samsung released 2.3.6. There is an Odin-friendly tar on another thread in Q&A that was started today or yesterday. Should be easy to find. (I also that on my Win7 machine I can retrieve the tarball from the download cache completed through kies mini and use that.) NO overclocking I get quadrant scores in the 17-1900 range. The scrolling between panes is smooth, my wifi is good at home (personal security) and in my office (enterprise security). I have a bit under 80 contacts, I do e-mail, messaging, facebook, maps, browsing, market browsing, music player, ... angry birds and a couple other games for giggles. I have been pretty impressed.

I would still start as close to "scratch" as possible, clear cache, factory reset, load KD1, let it sit and does its thing a bit (5-10 minutes?). Load the oem gingerbread release and again let it do its thing a bit. Before you load your first app, run the stock ones, like the crappy browser and see what kind of performnace you're seeing. Init wifi and see how that performs. Put it through its paces as a stock device. If you have really bad performance on a "pristine" device, maybe you got a bad device. I have come to expect a certain number of brand new workstations I roll out at work to be clunkers. Maybe you ogt one. Anyway, if it performs okay as a stock device, load you apps one at a time and pause to test the effects of the new install.
Good luck!

You google the game and find out which device it was made for. Also many of the gameloft games aren't on the market. Search for shadowgun.
Why are guys even using chain fire? I switched to the skyrocket from a Dell streak 5 with the original snapdragon processor and all my old gameloft games work and most others as well, even shadow gun runs flawlessly from the market with no mods at all. I'm completely stock, not even rooted on 2.3.6

1. You need twframeworks .. obviously cause ICS AOSP doesn't support an assistant built in.
2. Two, all of the resources are dependent on new ICS frameworks.
3. It won't work on this phone no matter what we do. We don't have TW ICS.
We''ll probably get AOSP, but for this to work, we'll ned TW.
4. Jelly Bean, Android 4.1/5.0 will have it's own integrated personal assistant probably, which will be 100% better than S-Voice.
-reasons
-better hardware at the time
-better API
-android integration(you need to open your app drawer to get to S-Voice. which sucks)

no
first of all, I doubt that you are using any form of a Galaxy S(IDK why you posted here)
you are probably using an Evo 3D or an Optimus 3D, and there are "no" chances unless you have touchwiz ICS, which "ONLY" galaxy S phones can have. I doubt it can be ported to other phones like Sense UI can.
in case you didnt read, i mentioned that i used to own a galaxy s 4g. i passed it on to a friend and got a nexus s. No TouchWiz, and the app worked ok after modifying the build.prop a little.
just wanted to share here because i really liked this community. I'm grateful to all the Devs that made my old 4g run flawlessly. So i thought i would share some love.. BUT i honestly had no idea it was an ICS only app... so sorry.
too bad. samsung has fix this leak so the one and only s III is only able to use it now.

Works fine for me as well.
Well i got weather, texting, calling, alarm, timer, opening apps and search to work, but recording voice didn't work for me. There are still a few that i haven't tested but i think that they are fine

Yay I have siri!! I mean "Galaxy" lol. It works good but not the double tab home button, oh well its still cool to have

If using apex launcher you can set it open by double tapping the home screen.
Hit menu then apex settings,behavior settings, and Desktop double tap. Select launch app and select S-voice.
I thought the double tap thing might be launcher related. I'm going to test Stock launcher vs Nova and see if that makes a difference.
Edit: No luck. Maybe it has to do with the S-Voice version..?
I tried installing it after connecting it via USB mode but it says "there is a problem parsing the package." My Samsung Galaxy S 4G has been rooted btw.

What rom? I believe s-voice will only work on ics based roms.
Now i know LG abandoned this ship. I'm just as pissed off as the next guy about that one. I wouldn't mind an official jb or at least an ics update. But either way, I'm honestly quite satisfied with this phone and its performance. I'm running standard cm7 nightlies (latest) with Trinity t15 kernel and wolf script mod. Battery life is decent and bad when i whore wifi but that's the biggest iissue with my g2x. With all the hate threads around this forum there have to be others who have positive experiences with this device.
This phone is awesome. Since I started carrying around my portable nuclear power plant all my battery issues are gone.
Seriously though, if you use the phone the battery will drop. That is a law of physics you can't avoid. My problem with this phone was that with stock ROM the battery dropped a lot even when I did absolutely nothing. CM7 solved that, so I am happy.
I still don't get sufficient standby life so I am working on fixing an old HTC amaze (fixed bootloop, now waiting for screen to arrive). My wife's amaze can get over 4 days of standby and I just noticed that she has not rebooted it in close to 400 hours.

4 days of standby time? Sorry this is the g2x forum I don't know what that means.
Lol that's crazy!
I have about six months left until I'm available for an upgrade. Thinking the new s4, razor or nexus.
I agree this is still a pretty slick phone. I'm loving the dual boot setup with CM7/Trinity ELP as my runner and CM10.1 as my gaming/test platform. I'd probably be way more disappointed with the phone if I was stuck with stock software, but thanks to the awesome devs and their work I'm very happy with this phone.

I am currently running cm7 with Mazout360's kernel and wolfscript. I have themed my phone to be as similar to ICS/JB as possible, as that was the only way I could return to GB. I am very content with how it turned out.
In the end, I have accepted that I will probably never have fully functioning ICS or JB on this phone. But, I guess all that I was really looking for was that updated look and crisp feel, which I have since obtained!
Although I will move on to some sort of Nexus when I have better funding, I am satisfied with the g2x.
The only problem I seem to have with cm7 is this noticeable static flicker that appears very quickly after turning on the display. It only seems to do that with cm7 roms.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but is it possible to get the jellybean notification bar on gingerbread? Like with notifications you can swipe away and quick message replies to texts and all that. That might be the only thing keeping me on jellybean right now because I love the way it feels so intuitive and such.

I can swipe away notifications, that's something GB can do already I think. As for quick replys to messages and emails and such, I don't think so.
At least as far as I know.
I miss those features too, but I guess we can't have everything.
There are apps for pop up notifications though.
I can also swipe away notifications. Actually i found that out on mistake, had a few too many whisky cokes and tried responding to a text and swiped it away lol

Oh I went straight from Froyo on my old Optimus V to Jellybean on the G2X (I rooted and installed Paranoid Android right away) so I thought swipe notifications was a Jellybean thing. I'll install a Gingerbread ROM when I get back from work and try to make it look and feel like JB.
On topic, yes I'm very satisfied with my G2X, but that might also be because I wasnt expecting a high end phone when I bought it from eBay a few months ago. Also I have a Nexus 7 for any apps that I use that require a hardware accelerated jellybean.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
AFAIK swipe notifications is a CM7 thing in GB ROMs.

The g2x works best if you chant "humba lumba humba" while standing on one leg!
I though problems would be fixed by updates.
And once rooted and a with custom rom
Everything was going to be working good like the days of the HTC G1.

For those of you who are content with cm7, even though it is old software, I am working on my "Speedster" rom. It is still quite alpha but my goals is to optimize CM7 for our G2xs. I am also doing a bunch of software updates inside and using Mazkrnl to have speed and stability. I use the latest ADW launcher in it and JB sounds so it really gives CM7 new life and gives it a great CM10 feel. I can't do anything about play store, still limited to 2.3 aps. No google keep/now
Pie, I'm willing to flash your rom whenever its out of the alpha stage. Or let me know if you need a tester
I use this for the theme.

Haven't seen anyone post anything about LiquidSmooth, but wanted to let everyone know it's available via Goo. Been running it for almost 24 hours and it seems very snappy and stable, no issues to speak of. Its an AOSP ROM for anyone who doesn't know, so you'll need gapps. I'm not affiliated with them in any way and all credit goes to the LiquidSmooth developers. Just a fan of the ROM!
If this post isn't allowed, just lock it. Or use as discussion about LiquidSmooth since there isn't one for s4...

Your in the right area, everyone is cool, I hope. Does bluetooth work consistently? and I had drop calls right in the middle of a call, random, but there. The rom rocks actually, but those are major bugs to me.
I was just about to post about this. Downloading the ATT build as we speak. Not sure why they haven't made a thread yet but have our carrier build made. Any way, it's nice to add to the ROM selection around here. I was checking out other carrier's ROMs, saw liquid and jflteatt on their goo.... *Profit*

Awesome!
LiquidSmooth is VERY similar to SlimBean feature wise, except for they run a normal DPI out of the box.
I was always switching between these two on my S3.

Don't really use Bluetooth, don't even have anything to test around with either. I'm hoping that when the 'Google Edition' is released that all the feature drivers gets ironed out for AOSP. Camera, BT, GPS, have always been janky with TouchWiz phones on AOSP.

I've been running this ROM for three days? now on my Galaxy S3.
Smooth, fast and stable. No issues that I've found yet. Though, it does seem to take a while for my phone to charge. Battery life is excellent though. Love Halo being added to it as well. Also Halo settings kinda stick... but nothing major.
Great ROM.

Is the GPS in 2.7 not working? I haven't found any dev notes and unfortunately search isn't working right now. I just flashed 2.7 last night and noticed today that I still don't have GPS signal even after driving around in my jeep with the top off.

Thanks for the post. I love LiquidSmooth too. Weird that it's 'hidden'. I'm really waiting out the "Google Edition" ROM. Also find it odd that there not much talk about it considering the phones get released tomorrow. Anyone have any info?
