Blade_FanTom, 11 Oct 2011Hi all. This is more of a query than anything. there has ... moreHi Tom,

I got mine around 2 months ago and was surprised to find out it was a Gen1, After looking online however I found an easy CM install guide that converted the phone to gen2 in the process, I'm now running Cyanogen 7.1 (think the nightly builds run better though and I've never had an unstable one) and it's great!

here's the guide at the official CM wiki:

      Hi all.
      This is more of a query than anything.
      there has now been an update to cyanogenmod 7.1 for the blade.
      i am assuming like the custom roms available for this handset from Cyanogemod the handset needs to be a gen 2 handset am I right in thinking this?

              I bought this phone too. I rooted it. Put another bootloader (ClockworkMod) on it,and flashed a 2.3 image (Ginger Stir Fry v2.6b)
              Works good.Mmeory left is low (about 117MB)

              Lotta phone for less money.

                            Guds, 13 Sep 2011Hi, How do you delete contacts in this phone? Preferably... morethe best way to delete all contacts is to delete contacts from your gmail account by checking all boxes.
                            I let you remember that your Gmail contacts are synchronized with your ZTE blade phone.
