Do you get the message Extended userdata partition detected -> disabling internal sdcard, almost at the end of AROMA installation?

Can you please save the logs at the end of installation and send it to me for analysis?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Can you both confirm if extended internal storage and sdcard mounting is working okay for you? That was something that I fully tested before releasing the ROM and should be working great (see attached pictures).
[ZTE Grand X V970] tugof:
Yes I get this message.

Log attached.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:

hey, i wonder what is your next dual sim phone? :D im planning to purchase one.. currently considering whether to purchase v970 or wait jiayu g4... i'd really love your support. you're a great person afterall. :cowboy: i wish i can donate, but i do not have any experience or credit card or anything necessary for online-transaction.

anyway, to the owner of v970.. i wanna ask a few questions

1. since i am going to use the phone for heavy web browsing.. how is the web browsing experience on the phone? is it good for long hours browsing? with the JB release on this phone and bruno supporting it.. it should be "buttery smooth", i guess? smoothness is important aspect in web browsing. :D

2. so... given this phone and a laptop infront of you, which would you pick for internet browsing? (on high speed wifi)

3. phone is mainly used for texting.. whatsapp is a must and i am a fast typer.. is there any problem with it? some people said there are problem with this phone's touchscreen at the corner.. i am nokia e5 user here..

please advise.. :(

Bug?!

I've wiped data, cache and system partitions. After tapping "Install now" in Aroma Installer, I'm returned back to CWM recovery and nothing happens. After reboot, I'm stuck at the MediaTek boot logo. Why happens this?

Edit: the Aroma Installer failed because of the selected backup of IMEI and NVRAM. If I don't select these two options, the installer proceeds and ends correctly.

@Bruno: this happens because of incompatibility, i. e. the Aroma doesn't support the method, which is used to store IMEI at V970?!
[ZTE Grand X V970] tlac:
I saved errors. Bruno, could you check it?
[ZTE Grand X V970] jjforums:
When I tried to boot into CWM it was something in chinese... I just felt smoother than ICS, but the new features of JB (that we see Nexus) is not in ZTE rom... Even the clock (with timer, stopwatch) is not in the rom, I fell i'm suing a ICS smoother only... I don't know, maybe that lockscreen, the icons.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That's because you are comparing Android 4.1 with Android 4.2. That clock app you refer is newer, and will be added in the next release. The same for the newer camera app, which I will have to test if it is backward compatible with Android 4.1 or not.
[ZTE Grand X V970] lurkerPL:
I have discovered three problems:

- google calendar doesn't sync (tried cleaning data for calendar app - didn't help)

- after connecting and then disconnecting phone to/from PC, all widgets are gone from my homescreen. I have to set them up again, to have them back on the desktop. The same happens after turning off and then turning on the phone.

- ringtones and notification sounds volume is IMO lower than in 3.1 ROM

Will aprreciate if those were resolved in future versions of ROM.

Here, the same problem with google calendar =( i need it t.t
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I do that and it works, but of course, I will check what going on with calendar sync.

Can't replicate that... do you mean it happens when you mount USB storage and then unmount? Are widget apps installed on sdcard?

Don't think that's too much of a problem...
[ZTE Grand X V970] lurkerPL:
Yes it happens when mounting USB storage, also restarting phone results the same thing. And no, these widgets aren't installed on sd-card (i removed it for that purpose and checked that).

Well, I have lots of noise at work and the noisier ringer, the better, but I could live with that (vibrations "on" ;) ).

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

Okay, fixed! I did clean the data for Calendar Storage process, restart calendar app and now syncing works!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:

[ZTE Grand X V970] lurkerPL:
Ok, thanks anyway.

I've a question: isn't persist.sys.use_16bpp_alpha=1 tweak available only in CyanogenMod? Because I tried adding it in build.prop in both, ICS and JB roms for V970 and it didn't give any performance increase. On some of my my older smartphones (ZTE Blade with CM9 and Xperia Arc with CM10) it gave huge performance increase!

No... I don't want that. That is the stock one. Share the one that you get once extended memory mod is applied and my ROM installed.
[ZTE Grand X V970] tugof:
I don´t know how i can get it out from phone. With extended memory applied is not internal storage accessible. Is not possible connect to PC, send by mail, drobox, sugarsync... Everything need accessible internal storage or sd card.

But without applied extended memory mod I must to see SD card space too and I don´t. In this case is accessible internal storage 2.52GB.

Hi Bruno

Not sure if you read all the other MT6575 threads out there, but could I invite you to look at this finding on Caller-ID and possible comment on how well it applies to the ZOPO and ZTE brands, or possibly even hint at which smali?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That is an interesting finding indeed!

When I had ZP300 I didn't noticed any CID bug, neither now with V970, at least on Phone app. Although, on Messaging app I have noticed that there are some problems matching contacts, that is if the contact is stored without +CC, when you receive a SMS from that contact, the number comes in with +CC attached. The problem is notorious when you start a new conversation by sending a message to a contact (and then leaving the conversation stored) and then when the reply is received the new message is stored in a newly opened thread, instead of being condensed into the same threaded conversation. For me, that is not that much irritating as the problem that happened with the Phone app, but I would like to solve it as well. Can you confirm if this also happens with your phone?
[ZTE Grand X V970] cybermaus:
So does the V970 also have the nice country specific formatting and country resolving? And most importantly, is it, or is it not, whatespace-sensitive?

As to your SMS question: I tried to test, I would guess that no, the SMS's are not troubled by lack of +CC:

Firstly, if I send an SMS from a Contact with no +CC then the SMS app auto-formats the sender into "name<+CC XXXXXXX>" URI form. So it add the +CC even as you enter the SMS app, before even typing or sending the SMS text.

To force the test, I manually enter a sender without +CC, so 0XXXX. As I press send, and I go from edit to thread view, it resolves the name immediately to the phone book, so I see the full number with +CC again. And then, when the other guy replies, it comes in with +CC, and thus goes into the same SMS thread.

The only issue for me is, if I have a phone number with (XXX) (brackets) then it fails. I really need to get rid of all my brackets in my phone number.

So I guess that apart from the whitespace sensitivity, it is all working very well. Extra reason for me to again ask if the V970 is whitespace sensitive.
[ZTE Grand X V970] mjsc:
Having been using the phone and your rom for a few days. Overall the phone is good for the money it costs, and I am happy to use with your ROM too. There are some minor things I am not sure if you can improve the phone with you future ROM. First, I like to have the "Touch sounds" on with my phone, which give a feedback every time you touched the screen. But it seems that the default touch sounds of the phone is so weak, just wonder if it can be adjust from the ROM. Second, as you know the 4 soft keys does not vibrate on touch, also wonder if any ROM modification can activate the vibration.

Thank you for your effort for giving out custom ROM for this phone anyway! :good:

Hi, bgcngm and all, I'm using ZTE V970 and found its kernel is lack of async ppp feature support, do you have any suggestion? ZTE did not release the kernel source code yet...
[ZTE Grand X V970] etse:
what i had done wrong before was flashing "V970_extended_userdata.7z" into the phone without flashing "V970 CWM Recovery V6.0.1.2 by BM.7z". After reading your reply, i tried to flash your "V970 CWM Recovery V6.0.1.2 by BM.7z\recovery.img" by SP Flash Tool and can go to recovery mode, get your custom ROM flashed... I was so happy at that time !! :D

BUT,

this morning i tried to power off my phone, and then erase my sd card content by PC (moving all content back to computer and clear the sdcard), and plug to the phone and power on, the phone shows the logo, and colorful image but never boot up.... and then i boot into recovery mode and flash the rom again, it is ok then.

setup all apps again and found that the phone cannot store content into sd cards... screen capture complains, camera app complains, whatsapp complains... i went to settings > storage and found 2GBs (i guess phone storage) and 16GBs (my sd card). I tried to unmount and mount again still have problems

i am now trying to flash the CU-CN-QB18D-P175A20V1.0.0B03.7z first to reset to original, and flash only recovery.img in "V970 CWM Recovery V6.0.1.2 by BM" and see if it is better.

does my procedure correct this time ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] etse:
just finished, the sdcard before flashing the 1.1 ROM can be used, but after that, it cannot.... (i use camera app to try, cannot save photo)

i changed your rom file a little bit with the following, it seems working fine now.

==

# vold.fstab

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard2 emmc@fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host

any impact for this change ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] HyperPunk:
Hi Bro..uno! :o

I has the same story like in etse topik:

Totally can pick out most typical:

1. Simply power off phone and then on and Andriod not booted (infinite colour moves).. try wait 15min-3hour nothing changes - only one way to help only flash ROM again [via recovery mode]

2. Second fresh story (today) phone may to do calls but when other people try call to me they calls is dropped automaticaly[they listen line busy and no call logs in to my phone] - only one way to help only flash ROM again [via recovery mode]

3. When flash ROM and input some data after first boot (some kind config manager) Language - WiFi - log in to Google account - This phone belongs to.. (in some cases the fields is filing [Andrey Shalnov] in other cases is clear [________])

Do you have the same or not?

If you need some logs pls told me which you need and I will send to you..
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
A new custom ROM was released (based on the latest official ROM from ZTE) and I really advise everyone to install it. Please read the changes on post #3.

As previously, this ROM erases all userdata, so before applying the update do a nandroid backup first. After applying the update use nandroid advanced restore to

restore userdata only

.

Also, for those that already applied the extended userdata mod, there's no need to do the process all over again. After booting the phone you just have to place again the modified vold.fstab under /system/etc/.
[ZTE Grand X V970] tennyleaz:
Downloading now...

So even if I applied the extended userdata mod, I have to replace vold.fstab after every ROM flash.

Is that right?

JB is great on this phone! Good job Bruno, thank you for your work :highfive:

Some initial feedback (1 full day of testing):

- As I said before, performance is great overall (for the more gaming inclined, i tested dead trigger and beach buggy blitz in maximum detail and the performance increase is very noticeable to say the least. Antutu score also increased).

- Camera app has improved: focus is quicker and quality seems to be better.

- Extended partition was working in 3.1MOD and now it isn't. Still haven't tried to fix it though (i.e. Still have to try flashing EBR1).

- Regarding text messaging...

... I have found the bugs reported by czullo and d00lar as well (both with stock and swype beta keyboards), and it appears I also have another one: When I send a longer text message (more then 1 or 2 sentences for instance) the person on the other side reads some of it correctly and then some of the text gets some wierd characters (see attached screenshot).

I am also wondering about this. It may be just me, but while I

know

the performance has increased, I just don't notice it on the menus or navigation. I guess I was expecting a more "fluid" experience. That being said, it seems to get better with time... :rolleyes:

Bruno, on a different note, have you seen the TMN Smart A18 available on the portuguese carrier TMN? It seems to be essentialy a ZTE Grand X device with MT6577, albeit with single SIM only. I wonder if your ROMs could support this device as well...
