I've found a good work around for the upside down camera.

A PlayStore App called Pixler Express, it's got some fine editing of pictures options I wanted, but optionally it "takes possesion" of the camera, and offers you the full use of the camera, as apposed to the camera that comes with Awesome Android.
 
Hello! I been running on AA4 since Shin released it on GOO, now for my feedback:
Voicemail: Is not working, the icon won't even pop out or to that point exist.
Tethering/HotSpot: Not working, when I turn on the feature it tells me that I have to contact my provider.
Contacts Interface: Thank you for fixing the appearance conflict :)
Notes App: Why, would the app be taken off if it served the purpose of taking important notes when needed.
Kernel: Please Shin release a Kernel special made for this Rom to enhance performance, and one that works please, not like the boot.zip which did not work.
Overall: Great Work Shin! You are the best, many thank you's and if you need any help feel free to use me as a guinea pig :)

Respectfully,
AA4 User

I think the "unlocking the phone" issue applies to carriers that do contracts like ATT, TMobile, Verizon, because people are getting $500 phones for free or cheap, unlocking the carrier lock, and then going elsewhere for service. Many people do this simply because of international reasons.

Anyway, unlocking to carrier is very different from rooting, I believe, and would be unrelated to rooting, kernels, and roms. Plus, ya know...we own our phones. There's no "contract phones" with Boost.
 
Hey, I just got this phone today and was reading through this thread and noticed that update 4 was possibly going to be back up soon. Is this going to be put back up soon or should I just roll with the last one available here?
 
you are correct in assuming you cant unlock a boost phone akira, but the reasons are a little off. you cant unlock a boost phone, because its basically a sprint phone, and you cant unlock a sprint contract phone either, or a verizon phone, you can unlock phones that take SIM cards to take cards from other companies, but that is gsm, boost, sprint, virgin, verizon, alot of straight talk phones, and a few other companies use cdma which doesnt use a sim card, they have a serial number built in instead so to change to another company they have to allow use of the other companies number and flash it, or the serial has to be changed which is technically illegal and not to be discussed in places like this. unlocking only works for companies like at&t and t-mobile that use a little card to connect you to the network
 
So I just got this phone. Am loving it. Just a quick question. I know its a known issue but is there anyway to fix the upside down front camera?
 
So just outta curiosity, what were the theme changes in update 4? Guspeed, where do I get those awesome blue emoticons for texting from ur first theme? That was one of my fav parts of that theme
 
Ported those guys from a cm10 theme, can't remember the theme name now.
I'm already in the sack and almost out.
 
umm, i think you missed something bill lol. not android update 4, AWESOME android update 4, its a custom rom, they are all the exact same version of android underneath
 
you see, we are working as android developers for zte, because obviously they are in desperate need of some, and we would rather work for free than have to deal with the crapped up software they produce
 
My camera is rightside up. Zte warp sequent. my only issue is the voicemail notification thing with boost mobiles visual voicemail app. besides that small nuisance my phone is running perfectly. no aupdate harrasments from anyone. i did have that problem but if the gapps package is applied right it stops.

I think a third party camera app was added to awesome Android which the camera works properly. You will notice two cameras in you apps list.

So, development is dead, essentially.

I wouldnt say its dead. He has a lot to work on with quite a few different phones, and he does this for a hobby, he doesnt get paid. Its only been 3 days since he last posted here, and we had to wait longer than that for a response from some developers over on the og warp. Just give him time and be paitent, asking for updates on when stuff will be released is just gonna push him away, and then developement really will be dead. Im not trying to be rude, im just saying, people got impatient and asked over and over again for an update or an OTA, and we basically lost a dev over on the og warp. Im mean sure he was working in the background, but you never saw him on the forum and his account status said guest. So please dont ask for OTA's and updates. He will let us know when he has something for us. Again not trying to be rude, just dont want to see a good dev leave.
