Fix Blackscreen when phone is sleeping
------------------------------------------------------------------------

On 1st boot you must make sure that cyanogenmod > settings > display settings:
screen on and off animations are unchecked. Failure to do so will result in device waking up to a black screen.

Enable Data Connection
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under wireless & network settings/mobile networks International Data Roaming must be checked. You will not roam on other carriers and incur any extra charges (roam is done via prl on cdma not a checkbox). This setting is required on cdma phones for cyanogen. Failure to do this will result in no data connection.

Hello I'm new here but I was wondering if anyone saved this rom anywhere on their drives. As of now the rom is considered lost media due to androidfilehost not having it right now. It seems stock android 2.3.4 is available for it however due to the age of the phone all the extra bloat takes a toll on the storage space. Any reupload would be great for not only the history of the device but pushing out any sort of functionality on the phone in the year that I'm typing this, 2023. Thanks in advance :)
