Dear All,

I flashed the latest JB mod v1.2 on my V970m, everything looks fine so far (Thanks to bgcngm), but I have a strange problem.

When my battery % goes low and I insert the phone in the charger, the red LED continuously is lit, and I also see the battery icon charging, but the % indicator does not change for a loooooong time. Then I reboot, and it starts to increase slowly.... This was not the case with my previous ROMs.

Anyone can advise?

Hady
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
Reboot to recovery

advanced

wipe battery stats

Give it a shot.
[ZTE Grand X V970] hadyhosny:
Already tried it...... same problem....

[ZTE Grand X V970] Turonet:
Hi

First of all, thanks a lot for this wonderful work.

I have installed the Android 4.1 (JB) 1.2 Mod rom, and everything works properly, however, a lot of apps say that I have no sdcard. Others app works with my sdcard without problems.

My ZTE call my sdcard "sdcard1" and there is another virtual one called "sdcard0" who is unmounted, but it exists.

I tried to mount and unmount the sdcard in the recovery, but it was useless.

I had flashed my ZTE V970 several months ago with Android 4.0.4 Rom and it worked properly, and now I only wipe and install the new rom.

In the path mnt, the internal card (empty) is mnt/sdcard and my external card is mnt/sdcard2.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Turonet:
I tried to reinstall the rom again, and this time I realised that the first time, the sdcard0 has got some folders and files, but at the next start, the sdcard0 is dismounted :(
[ZTE Grand X V970] jackal666:
Hello everybody!!

Any solution for USB OTG support on ZTE V970????

thank u!!
[ZTE Grand X V970] gerstavros:
it's not supported by the hardware
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
hello

does anyone could help me?

I tried to install this rom and it happens every time the screen turns off (screenlock) I get no network and asks to get the code of the SIM card. seems that loses network and again asks the PIN code.

in stock rom it does not happen only in some ported roms.

already happened to somebody else? is there any way to overcome this?

thank you
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Bruno, hey, I know gravitybox is cool and all, but isn't this thread about your ROM? have you stopped working on them or something?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Azurael:
Was this ever resolved? I have the same problem - V970m (UK-supplied from ZTE's own eBay store, Dual SIM, 512MB RAM.) Anything JB-based won't recognise the external SD, anything ICS-based will. OTOH, the GPS doesn't work (well, it does, but TTFF is about 15 minutes...) in ICS but seems okay in JB...

I have a picture of the sticker, which probably won't help as the other person with the same breakage posted one ages ago and it was totally different. I can't get a sufficiently un-truncated dmesg from the device to work out what's going on in early boot since the damn cpu frequency driver is so verbose I can't see anything past about 30 seconds ago.
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Have anyone installed with success the nexus 5 leaked launcher on this ROM? I tried but constantly gave error with search.
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Read up a little, you're not the only one. Google says to change your language to something else, do some voice search and then revert the language. The language must be changed in the launcher settings btw (long-press desktop).
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Thanks for the reply, but i know that. I tried that. did you try it?

The main question is, works or not?

In 4.2.2 works perfectly, but not in 4.1.1, at least for me.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jocantonio:
not charging

Hi people, I got a problem, I flashed the rom but the phone doesn't charge turned off, any idea?
[ZTE Grand X V970] ehl.ey14:
help my imei is invalid :(
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
I was thinking the same thing.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I have been more active with V987 lately. From my perspective there's not much to improve on Android 4.1.1 ROM for V970, so I have been advertising GravityBox because it is a great piece of work which helps to improve this phone even more.
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Then your perspective is very, very limited IMHO. It's sad. There's people already working on 4.2 (including me) and there's still so much to improve in 4.1. I would suggest then just close this thread and make a new gravitybox thread because it's rude for those who are subscribed to this thread who are interested in YOUR ROM to be notified about something totally unrelated (albeit cool).
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
There should be space for improvement when it comes to a new Android version (4.2), but I am not planning to work on it as of this moment.
[ZTE Grand X V970] jesuita:
Is there any way to remove the 3G icon in the statusbar?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I'm planning to release a fresh custom ROM with some bug fixes and goodies from KitKat. Keep an eye on the thread. I will try to release it by the end of the week. :fingers-crossed:

[MENTION=5146035]djarthur[/MENTION] / [MENTION=4031980]darkguy2008[/MENTION]

Which baseband modem are you using in Venezuela? I can include that modem in the release so that user is able to install the ROM with the correct one.
[ZTE Grand X V970] djarthur:
hello, I use the same modem that comes in the ICS from Movilnet's Stock Rom, for dual chip, but there are 2 diferents models of the V970 that comes with 1 chip and there have 2 diferents Bands,

HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 (Movistar)

HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100 (Digitel GSM)

Dual Chip can use both Bands

but i don't know if they will work 3G or H with the same modem.....:D
[ZTE Grand X V970] ev1lchris:
How come this phone doesn't have it's own forum?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Any special reason for that? Do you mind sharing it here or is it the same as the stock modem from ICS Chinese ROM?
[ZTE Grand X V970] djarthur:
its the same modem that you used in the ""ICS V3.0MOD (09-12-2012): Based on official Android 4.0.4 ROM (ZTE Venezuela release: RET-VE-QB128D-P175A20V1.0.0"", i never use the Chinese Rom....;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Okay, but any reason not to use the new modem that comes with the official Android 4.1 ROM and use that "old" one?
[ZTE Grand X V970] djarthur:
Because it won't work in 3G or H, only Edge :thumbup:
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Okay then, it's clear now. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Yes, but people that are forced to use that modem, also reported some strange behaviors when using it.

Eg: Data connection/ GPS, turning on/off by itself.

Also some SIMs (like Movistar) will throw some errors, since they need new APN's

Just wanna share that info.

B.Regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] Taiyo85:
That would be awesome! Thank you very much :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
hello,

Bruno, I tried several times to install your ROM and gives me SIM card errors.

Each time the screen locks the network goes down and when I turn the screen is asking for the code of the SIM card.

tested the three (v1.0, v1.2 and the v1.1rmod) and the only one that is stable v1.0.

perhaps due to screenlock be equal to the stock but does not have Portuguese language.

maybe you can make a fix for gravitybox to fix it.

I think the radio network hibernates and goes down, I dot know, maybe that is the problem.

thank you
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Is your phone a V970 or the version (single SIM) that was being sold by TMN? Because you seem to be the only one having those issues.
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
hello,

yes mine is A18 TMN and I'm not the only one, if you see on the facebook page A18 of the tmn, there are more people.

A user posted yesterday that to resolve the situation, disabled the PIN code of the SIM card.

so he does not ask for the code and the fixed network.

I think that was what superdragonpt also wanted to describe to you in the previous posts.

[QUOTE = superdragonpt; 47610509] Yes, but people are forced to use que que modem, also some strange behaviors Reported When using it.

.. . But it's the only way to get 3G or H in Venezuela, the only issue that I got its typing lag when have the typing sounds and vibes on, I've to turn them off, the rest everything it's OK using Lewa OS 5, I think there is not any other módem that works 3G or H on all bands in Venezuela... .. ;)

OC

Hey guys!, i just bought this phone and looks awesome!.

But i've a few questions here.

What's the real diff between v970 and the v970M?

Also read that MTK hasnt release the source code for the MT6577.

So we cant OC ATM?

Also saw a few antutu benchmarks and threw some ugly points of 5100~5400.

Then i saw another benchmark throwing 10,000~11,000.

Thanks!
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Yes I totally understand that.

Just don't come here or on others zte v970 ROM threads complaining that the ROM is full of bugs and that your data connection, GPS sometimes have strange behaviours ...

This is not an ROM ploblem. ;) But directly related with the use of that modem.

:)

This ROM is still the most completed and stable for daily use, as it have no issues whatsoever.

V970 - Single SIM

v970m -Dual SIM

Zte didn't provided no source code, so no custom kernels, and no source build ROMs (CM, PA) for this device.

Benchmarks, are like that just benchmarks, I'm not an big fann of it, and they don't show the full ROM performance , Still they will greatly increase with an custom ROM

B.Regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Small correction, V970 sold in China is a Dual SIM device.
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Your totally right. forgot that.

Also there's an zte Grand X v970. equipped with an Tegra 2 SoC...

B.Regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] djarthur:
hey man i think you are out of mind, i'm not asking you or making any complain about nothing, i just was talking with bruno about somethig he ask me, that's it, and make a comment about the modem, if others clomplain you about that, that's their problems, you are the right to awnser o not, do not mix the things.......:p

B.Regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Take it easy... I'm sure that superdragonpt wasn't accusing of nothing, but just providing that additional information which I was not aware. :cool:
[ZTE Grand X V970] mike_san:
Thank you for your response.

So no source code, no 4.3 or kitkat 4.4?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yeap, unfortunately that's the truth.
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Sad but true. Superdragon work in 4.2.2 is amazing, but lacks the camera. Without eggs you can't make an omelette.

As for the Sim errors I was one of the Portuguese people with problems. Started last week in 4.2.2, changed to 4.1.1 and occasional errors occurred and last day in 4.0.4 from tmn phone simply didn't detected the sim card as sim card worked in other phones. Replaced the card and now works. Very strange.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

As for question, anyone knows why ICS 4.0.4 has such a good voice quality and this and the others are standard quality? Talking about 4.0.4 from tmn, using the tmn network in Portugal. Will it be some enhancement in the ROM for compatibility with the network?
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
ups, it seems like i´m not the only one!!!
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
That would be great. I love the kit Kat launcher but don't work on this version. Let's see if this weekend we have a present. :)

Hello everyone here, i'm just newbie and i just bought ZTE V970M (ICS) (MT6577) (POWERVR SGX 531), and i want to use this custom roms here..

questions:

1. How do i root this device?

2. Do i also need to unlock the boot loader?

3. Need links of tools to be used and steps..TIA
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
You can root it simply by using framaroot. A simple apk which uses an exploit to do it. It's what I use lately instead of other methods.

As for custom roms the flash tools and drivers are on the op of this thread.
[ZTE Grand X V970] turbo manual:
Thank you Sir,

i am now rooted..hehehe By the way do i also need to unlock my boot loader to install custom rom??

if yes, how sir??TIA
[ZTE Grand X V970] eddie-lu:
Read first four posts here in this topic, there is how-to, you will find there all you need.
[ZTE Grand X V970] turbo manual:
I'm sorry but i hadn't seen any tut about unlocking the bootloader, its was just flashing a custom rom...
[ZTE Grand X V970] longo213:
You need to flash custom recovery. It's all mentioned in post #2.
[ZTE Grand X V970] turbo manual:
Do you mean sir, i can flash it without UNLOCKING MY BOOTLOADER?TIA
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
There's no need to unlock bootloader on MTK based devices. Just read the instructions on the first posts of the thread and you're done.
[ZTE Grand X V970] turbo manual:
Wow there it is, i was really waiting for your reply sir...thank you so much...

by the way can i flash the Jelly bean version, cause mine is ICS, and also about the kernel do i also need to change it??
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Do you see any instructions here referring the need to flash kernel separately? You just need to flash CWM recovery and then install the ROM you want.
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Bruno, since GB 2.7.3, the wifi icon is too close to the 3G icon in your 4.1.1 ROM. Is there any way to fix this? My OCD goes through the roof.

BTW, is there a way to hide that stupid 3G/G icon?

Only one more question, is there a way to completely disable dual-sim functions in your 4.1.1 ROM? I have the TMN A18 and I don't need any of that :D
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
That happens because you have the date with the weekday name. If you had only the hour and am/pm it's OK.

Has for getting rid of the dual Sim functions why not use gravity? Hides it. If it's not active it doesn't mess with nothing, and since it didn't have a card I suppose it won't use any energy extra.
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Still happens when I disable the day of the week in the clock.
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
If you really wana get ride of The big "3G/G" with i.e. ES file explorer or any other root explorer: mount your /system as RW

Then go to. /system/APP and delete The "OP02plugin.apk" and his .odex part.

Then go to /system/ build.prop and delete this 3 lines:

#ro.operator.optr=OP02
#ro.operator.spec=SPEC0200
#ro.operator.seg=SEGA

Reboot to recovery, wipe Dalvik and cache, and its Done ! ;)

To hide The 2nd SIM network bar and notification, GravityBOX is The answer

B.Regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Bruno's ROM doesn't have either that apk nor any of those build.prop lines... :( well, it's just cosmetic stuff so...
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Really?

Well but im sure there is an .apk with just another name.

Thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
I've been trying every strange mediatek apk and none have worked. The dev of gravity box asked me for systemui.apk and framework-res.apk to investigate. Let's see.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I removed OP02plugin app from all these releases. The network indicators are natively included into SystemUI.
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Yes, and they have a name like gemini_someting_blah_blah. On build.prop there's a ro.mediatek.gemini_support=true... well, I'll make it false and reboot, let's what happens :D

EDIT: Nope, it's still there...
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Dont do that !!!

Gemini is part of MTK code, i.e.: RIL , etc
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Yes, I have reverted it already... seems to do nothing
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That property (ro.mediatek.gemini_support=true) is used by GravityBox to acknowledge if device is a MTK Dual SIM device or not. Don't mess with that or else it may break many of the statusbar tweaks.
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Indeed, gravity box's status bar customizations stopped working immediately. Reverted right back and it's fine now.

BTW, all the 4.1.1 Roms for our V970 (including Lewa v5) have a weird poblem with duplicate sms threads for the same contact... I never mentioned it bc I use textra and it doesn't happen with it, but on stock sms app and 8sms (based on aosp), for some reason, sometimes I end up with duplicate threads for the same contact. GB has an option to fix that, but it doesn't work in mt6577 it seems.

Bruno, browsing through the source code of GB for that specific tweak, can you see what's going on and adapt it to mt6577? I tried to find out what the problem was but never got it, so I gave up and went for textra. But I miss 8sms :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Well, if you look into GravityBox github repo, you'll notice that I have already contributed with some bits of code. I will check that specific tweak and see if it can be adapted to older Messaging app.
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
thank you very much.

bruno, if you're integrating gravitybox into the ROM, kindly consider my suggestion

integrating xuimod into this rom is also good. various transitions and stuffs can be changed. cool stuffs actually. check it out. (available at "download" at xposed installer too)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477558

this is my setting personally,

listview animaton - wave(right)

listview interpolator - bounce

blacklist- facebook app

window transitions - TN transitions

others are default. try it out, recommended. the whole animation thing will be changed, from twitter, to whatsapp, to wechat, everything. and the "smoothness" will always retain. infact, you'll love it.

but, in the case of integrating it into the ROM, i'd suggest that to set it at default and let the users to go with their own settings that they prefer. because, when it is there, integrated, people will acknowledge about it and start to use it. :D

edit; blacklist "facebook" app in listview animation. it works in there, but somehow, it doesnt render as nice as twitter's.

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I'm currently uploading the new ROM. The fact why I'm integrating GravityBox into the ROM is simple: because of the fixes it provides for Android's master key vulnerabilities; so that more inexperienced users have immediate access to tweaks without the need to go through the hassle of installing Xposed framework... and finally because I also have contributed for it. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] Opson:

The new ROM is up! Please note that advanced power menu mod has been removed because GB is integrated and provides an option to enable such feature. Enjoy!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have added some goodies from KitKat.

Which one was the baseband modem you selected during install? I have made an option so that the user can choose between the modems from the official ICS and JB ROMs.

EDIT: I think that in your case, as you live in Venezuela, you have to choose the baseband modem from ICS ROM (version MAUI_11AMD_W12_22_SP_V1). For that, don't forget to select Custom installation type.

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
You have to flash stock recovery and cache partition to recover from that bootloop status. The files needed have to be taken from original full ROM. After flashing, boot once into recovery mode and phone will complete the process normally. Then you can re-flash CWM recovery.
