Includes changes up to and including “Work around some failures in Wrigley 3G RIL” from here, plus the following:

  • New Adreno libs that score more than 15% better in Antutu 3d scores!

Known issues

  • If you leave the wifi on whilst the phone sleeps it may use a little more battery than older versions for some users. This can be avoided by flashing the kerenl/wifi package below from ClockWork Mod.

Setup Tips

  • If the in call proximity sensor does not work correctly then go to Settings -> Device Settings -> Calibrate proximity sensor
  • If you use the auto backlight and it’s not working well for you, follow this post
  • For a good balance between battery life and performance I recommend you go into Settings -> Cyanogenmod Settings -> Performance -> CPU Settings and change the governor to SmartAssV2
  • To see battery percentage on the status bar, go to Settings -> Cyanogenmod Settings -> Interface -> Status Bar Tweaks -> Battery Style
  • If you have trouble with your homescreen lagging when you return from an app, go to Settings -> Cyanogenmod Settings -> Performance and put a tick in ‘lock home in memory’

Flash for ARMv6 – Not compatible with ICS

Flash is supposed to require an ARMv7 CPU.
This has been recompiled to work on an ARMv6 CPU such as that found in the Blade.

Flash 10.3 4.4MB. The source of this is an ARMv6 tablet called the Mapan MX71G.
