Ice Cream Sandwich On The T-Mobile Vivacity and Co.

Hi. For anyone out there who have one of these phones:


  • T-Mobile Vivacity - Perfect
  • Orange San Francisco - Perfect
  • ZTE Blade II **
  • ZTE Crescent **
  • Telenor Touch Plus 
There is hope, and the guys over at MoDaCo and CyanogenMod built an Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4) and Jelly Bean (4.1.1) ROM 

* I am writing a blog about this to get this publicised more, I did not contribute much and the awesome developers will be credited for their work*
**Some problems with TPT may/will occur**

Ice Cream Sandwich looks like this:

If you brick your phone, its not my fault, don't complain to me, you took the risk, you take the punishment




Instructions: - If your phone is rooted, skip steps 4 to 10

This ROM is for the San Francisco II https://docs.google....ZmxGTEx1dUJHT3

This ROM is for the T-Mobile Vivacity, Telenor Touch Plus and others
https://docs.google....enN3SkJCVFBaZW8

This is Darktremors A2SD (App To SD) Scripts *optional* https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8lCIDLCYdIHZ0RqTkhkOXNZZnM

  1. BACKUP EVERYTHING - just in-case of an error. Backup to the SD and an external location
  2. Download the files you need, Google Apps and any optional downloads:

    This ROM is for the San Francisco II https://docs.google....ZmxGTEx1dUJHT3

    This ROM is for the T-Mobile Vivacity, Telenor Touch Plus and others https://docs.google....enN3SkJCVFBaZW8
    Google Apps: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

  3. Move all the zip files to your SD card
  4. Go to the market and download and install an app called TPT Helper
  5. For Vivacity, click here and download the TPT
  6. For San Francisco, click here and download the TPT       *Downloading the wrong file may cause a brick so be careful!*
  7. Copy the file (eg Vivacity-v2c.zip) to the root of your SD card
  8. Open TPT, and Follow all the steps in order from Unzip the file. If it asks you where you saved the file, type Vivacity-v2c and OK
  9. Follow all the steps, (check md5sum, unzip etc)
  10. Press Start TPT
  11. Boot in to Recovery by turning the phone off, and turning it on while holding the volume down key
  12. In recovery, use the volume buttons to navigate and select 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset' by pressing the home button
  13. Select 'Install zip from sdcard' -> 'Choose zip from sd card' -> Your chosen ROM
  14. Then 'Install zip from sd card' -> 'Choose zip from sdcard' -> Google apps
  15. If you chose to install A2SD 'Install zip from sd card' -> 'Choose zip from sdcard' -> A2SD
  16. Finally 'Reboot System Now'
  17. The first boot will take 1-3 mins, give it time
  18. Then set up Google account, sync etc.
  19. Enjoy your phone with ICS!

If you wonder what the Android like Nyan Cat is, it is an Easter egg when you open up about phone and repeatedly tap on Android Version 4.0.4

If for some reason you get stuck, message me and I will provide help, or go to MoDaCo's website.

  1. I can tell you it is worth it to upgrade from the stock ROM provided. It (2.3) was laggy, but now it is very very smooth (4.0.4 of course).

    Message me if you are in need

  4. how can make backup ? is our orignal mobile rom in backup data .... t mobile vivacity .... plz tell me .....

  5. To make a backup of the SD Card, plug your phone into your computer, and copy all the content (music, videos etc) to a folder on your computer.

    To backup the ROM, and internal data ,follow steps 1-11, to obtain root and in the recovery menu, select backup and restore, then choose what you want to do. The backup will have all your data and whatever ROM you had when you backed up the phone.

    If you want any more help, is it possible to do this via G-mail or Skype etc?

  8. The owner decided after the event to donate half
    of the proceeds back to the students. I've played Nancy Drew for years and even her saccharine personality is more 3D than Lindsay or 'Linds') as she calls herself.

  9. The oil of oregano, an effective herb is also a natural cure, with a high content of carvacol in it being
    very effective if taken internally every day. Because of its anti-fungal
    properties, it is also sometimes recommended for
    vaginal yeast infections. Seek medical or professional help.

  11. I seldom leave responses, but I browsed a bunch
    of remarks here "Ice Cream Sandwich On The T-Mobile Vivacity and Co.".

    I do have some questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be simply me or does it give the impression like some of the responses
    come across like they are left by brain dead individuals?
    :-P And, if you are posting on additional online social sites, I'd like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Could you list of all of your social community pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

  12. Excellent blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?

    I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm a little
    lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform
    like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that
    I'm totally confused .. Any suggestions? Bless you!
