Official android 2.2 (froyo) release for orange san francisco.

[Ilovetech]

Whats superuser?

Do I choose:

Superuser for android 2.0 -2.2
Superuser for android 1.5/1.6
Do not install Superuser

Thanks

It lets you give root (admin)
Install 2.x version!

 

[Ilovetech]

I tried installing Universal Androot but an error came up, to force close app, I restarted, reinstalled, etc.. But this did no help. Any ideas?

 

[ElasticNinja]

Try Z4Root.

Do you need to backup your apps anyway? Google will sync your contacts etc

 

[Ilovetech]

None of the apps are working, and I cant find the Z4 Root, any ideas? And I just want to back up the phone ROM, so I can set it to default.

 

[ElasticNinja]

Just head straight to OneClickRecovery so

Did the San Francisco get its official Froyo update from Orange?

 

[Vorbis]

Some say his droppings have been found as far north as York. And that he has a full size tattoo of his face, on his face. All we know is, he's called the Stig!

I've not heard of Orange releasing Froyo for the OSF. If they did it would be smothered in bloatware and horrid anyway no doubt.

 

[ElasticNinja]

Given that Orange has discontinued the Blade, no!

 

[The-Stig]

err, well its still on their website?

[ElasticNinja]

Its been replaced with the Monte Carlo. No official update, meh

 

[The-Stig]

ok, well anyway i was still hoping there would be an update for it, as i understand the blade has had an update just not the orange version??

 

[ElasticNinja]

ZTE has created Android 2.2 for the blade, and have developed Android 2.3.4 for it too

Hi - just picked up an Orange San Francisco and checked on the update to 2.2. The staff at the shop didn't seem to think there was going to be one anytime soon...

That said (and i'm new to this...steep learning curve I think), does it make a difference if you unlock your handset and use some other provider/carrier? That was going to be my plan seeing as I'm on PAYG and the data allowance is pretty low with Orange.

Is it easier to upgrade to 2.2 (or newer) and get rid of the 'bloatware' everyone's mentioned if the phone's unlocked?

Confused.

Its not easier, but upgradings easy anyway.
You may as well unlock it since its free to do like

There is no official 2.2 update for the San Francisco.
There are several Gingerbread (2.3) ROMs, including ones based off ROMs for ZTE devices released elsewhere, and also CyanogenMod (2.3.7).
You need to update to Gen 2 however.

Use a TPT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258855
That will wipe everything mind, make sure you have Google Sync enabled at the very least.

Then pick a ROM from here: http://android.modaco.com/forum/488-zte-blade-libra-roms-rom-customisation/

If you are signed to Google it is unless you disabled it. Settings>Accounts & Sync.

Regarding TPT, I'd go for the 160MB system for CyanogenMod, the larger one otherwise.

One thing i have noticed though is it seems to drain my battery life quite considerably compared from when I had the original gen 1 on thereconfused:.. Any way round this?
