no line has no path... must be because I do not load the proper scatter file?

Bruno I've managed to instal your custom firmare 1.1 with the recovery from etotalk...

Now I have your custom firmware but it still hangs out when I wannt to call someone... it apears the sims... the phone dials... it rings on the other side... but on my phone the image freeze... and even if the other person response cant hear me

What is the problem?

It apears

CALL VIA

and either I choose sim1 or sim2 the image freeze!!!

Bruno, is it possible to install PDroid or something similar for your custom mod (doing the required ROM Patch)?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Okay, I think I have found the problem to the crashes of GPS related applications. I just need to run some more tests and hopefully release a stable custom ROM based on B05. And of course, without the CID bug.

Back in the days when I did it for G11i Pro / HD7 I had to manually patch the framework, because the automatic patcher didn't worked. I assume it should be the same now because MediaTek framework is specific. But I'm not planning to add support for PDroid and I don't even know if it is compatible with ICS.
[ZTE Grand X V970] 42serenity:
What I could find it should be possible to run on ICS (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1719408). Sad, that MediaTek is too specific.

Bruno, no solution for me?

I just can imagine to have the phone now, but for its basic function, ctalking to it, not to work!

Just tried a lot of stuff but no talking, because it hangs out... and I have to remove the battery..

Thx:crying:

The new custom ROM was just uploaded to my 4shared folder. Be sure to read version history on the first page of the thread.

Two very important notes:

For those that have installed the extended userdata mod, don't forget to apply the modified vold.fstab

This time please don't use the advanced restore feature from recovery mode to restore all userdata. The reason is that I feel more comfortable that all userdata is regenerated (specially contacts database because of the CID bug fix). Use instead Titanium Backup to restore just your apps and

do not restore

system settings and databases.
[ZTE Grand X V970] 42serenity:
So, installed new V2.2 - everything seems to be working (E-mail, all the apps I had problems with...). :good:

I'm also quite happy with the battery time - when I don't need to use the phone much its even possible to get 2,5 days out of it. :)

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Haven't you installed the zip to disable internal sdcard, have you? If you did, that is the reason why, the zip should be only applied to ICS. Re-install custom ROM and it should be fine.

hello!love this rom on my phone,thanks!

i have a little issue,installed the rom from external sd

but when im trying to install apps to sd,it let me to move to internal memory which is about 1.5gb free.

2 questions.first why i cant move apps to external card

2nd,why is the "phone only" memory only 500 mb(~270) free?

i hope i can solve this..

How to Change to a New ROM - ICS to JB

So I installed the ICS rom first to see how it responds. Tested for 2 days which the main thing was testing battery and it suited my needs as it lasted throughout the whole day.

But now I want to test the JB rom. What do I need to do? Do I just enter Custom Recovery and choose "Factory reset" and then proceed to install the JB zip file?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yes, boot into recovery mode and either clear userdata from the menu or by choosing that same option under AROMA installer.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
I have got an english version of JB 4.1.2 but its from another developer (not stock ROM) I can't persuade him/them to share a copy of the stock so would it be possible for Bruno to work on the custom JB 4.1.2 if I upload it or is there no option to do that?

IMEI change

I don't know whether it is just coincidence or not, but on my older MT6516 based phone, I had a far better signal connection. I know that many factors can affect it, but 1 thing I know is different is that I had 2 different imei numbers from old phones that I used. On this V970 phone, I have 2 imei numbers the same on both sims. I could be far reaching, but wanted to test if different IMEI numbers would make a difference. I tried reading over the cybermaus thread on the options to restore the imei numbers to different ones, but unable to follow most of it. The only one I tried was the MT6516.apk file which didn't work on ICS or JB.

The procedure I used for the MT6516 phone was to use a "SN Write Tool" or "Code Write" to input the IMEI back in the phone. However, I see that the modem database and other selection is based on the MT6516 phone. Can I still use these programs to change IMEI numbers? Or is this method now obsolete for the MT6577 phones like this V970?

Thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I would try other methods first... Issuing those AT commands through adb or a terminal app on the phone will surely work. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] denexo:
Hi Bruno, any idea on this? Is it even feasible?

Try this, on my system it says it's 4.1.2 but I don't know if it's 100% genuine.

JB or ICS

I have ordered V970 and read that JB ROM may be less stable than ICS, is this true?

anyone used both ICS and JB for a while? if so I would appreciate your comments

I have read that v970 has many problems:

- battery percentage not show real time value - happens in JB / ICS / BOTH / NONE?

- battery drains quickly with wifi on and disconnected - happens in JB / ICS / BOTH / NONE?

- GPS fix time really slow - happens in JB / ICS / BOTH / NONE?

- touch is less sensitive in JB?

- applications in speed higher in JB ?

In terms of V970, What is the advantage of JB ROM over ICS ROM except speed?

thanks!
[ZTE Grand X V970] RASTAVIPER:
Hello Bruno,

Can I ask if there is other way to flash the custom recovery except downloading through SP flash tool?

I use version V.3.1224.01 and when I press download nothing happens. I am afraid that my company's firewall is blocking it, although I don't get any messages.

Unleashed from N101T at 3.2.1 Rom
[ZTE Grand X V970] mmichal2:
Hi, here is my opinion

False. Both ROMs are stable. Most of complains from this thread are more about applications then ROM itself. Many people have 4.1 and all is ok and just few have issues with stability.

- In JB rom, once a while battery percentage "hangs" on same value, restart solves issue. For me this happens less than once a week.

- hard to say, to be sure it is true u should disable both SIM cards, all apps ....and then test it. I dont see any extra drain on JB then ICS

- For sure not true. I'm using endomondo every day, when I start my GPS i have fix in 3-30 sec max. Depends on weather. When it is very cloudy and I'm between big buildings it needs 1-2 minutes (but even Garmin needs time then). Same on ICS and JB. Same is with my Xperia.

- It is better in JB rom.

- hard to notice with daily usage but I benchmarks are good placebo :) I dont play games... ok just one, appeak poker and it is same fast :)

Google for differences android 4.0.4 vs 4.1.1 - there is a lot of fixes ...

To me 100% happy from this ROM I replaced one file posted in this thread, some graphic fix. Dont remember name, hwcomposer or something similar, this fixed my only game Appeak Poker to show all as nice as ICS rom.

Go for JB, it is better ROM.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
I have used them both a lot and for me personally I had zero problem at all when using ICS (the latest version from Bruno) extensively.

But others reported various problems.

I have noticed an increase in problems with the JB update, both personally and on here too. But I stick with JB because there is always a solution and I'm the type of person who just loves to have the latest version running even if I need to solve a few issues to get it working perfect.

But in my opinion, if you just want to load a ROM with the fewest issues, go for ICS from Bruno.

Having said that, I am sure many people have gone with JB with no problems ever so in one way I don't think you should worry about stability because it seems to be random, unpredictable. So I personally would suggest to go with JB, google any issues you may get after install, and as the guy above me said, have a look on wiki for the main differences. They are not huge but it, again, depends on the individual, what may be a big update for one person is another persons small update.

In summary, whatever version you choose there is not so big differance and the ROMs from Bruno in general are very stable, relatively simple to fix any issues that may arise.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That has nothing to do with firewall because the tool doesn't require Internet connection at all. Have you carefully followed flashing tutorial and are you sure you successfully installed MTK USB VCOM drivers?

There is indeed another way to flash custom recovery, but I don't like mentioning it because it requires phone to be rooted first. If your phone is rooted just install Mobileuncle MTK Tools and do it from the app.

Anyway, don't forget that you should really get flashing working through the tool if you want to apply the extended userdata modification. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] RASTAVIPER:
Thanks for your reply.

It seems that drivers is the problem, cause I tried in 2 pc with Win Xp Sp2 and none can get the driver installed.

I followed the guide for the drivers, but after running the Installdriver.exe and getting the message that drivers have installed, nothing works after reboot.

With phone On I have at Device manager an entry of MT65xx Android phone and with phone Off the Preloader entry, which disappears after a while.

Even manually installing of VCOM drivers didn't help or the pc restart.

You should read the tutorial once again. When you are flashing recovery only there is no purple bar, that is only when you are flashing your phone with preloader and DSP_BL included.

The disabling of internal memory occurs only if a sd card is present during Rom flashing?

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I'm glad to know that you finally made it. ;)

If you are not using any external sdcard on the phone then I advise you not to apply the modification! By applying it, the internal sdcard will be disabled meaning that, without any external sdcard inserted, no sdcard will be detected which would be a problem for most of the apps.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
As far as I can tell, the method should also work for V970. If it works for Lenovo A2107, it should be also compatible with other MT6577 based devices. Beware that it may be compatible only with ICS. Based on the post date I would say that the binary is for ICS, but in the end it could be also compatible with JB... Just try it, it won't hurt.

[ZTE Grand X V970] RASTAVIPER:
From what I have understood from reading like 5 times all starting posts, is that I just had to install the Rom and the script of disabled internal memory would be automatically executed.

The way of flashing it through sp tool I thought was like for installing it before the version of latest rom which include already this mod.

So what is the right way?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That is not what is written, you understood it wrong.

You have to flash the files from post #4 in order to extend userdata partition. In addition, you must then re-install the ROM so that the script can detect that partitions were modified and only then disable the internal sdcard. I hope it is clear for you now. ;)
