Bugreport JB v1.0

Hi Bruno,

I've encountered the following bugs in your JB v1.0:

1. not default JB icons at stock Android apps (Phone, Messaging, Browser, etc., all of them!)

2. not present default JB wallpapers (at stock JB launcher!)

3. too quiet ringer speaker, significantly quieter than in v3.1

4. Play Store force closes now and then, especially when the mobile signal is low, and because of this data download gets interrupted

5. Google Calendar app syncing problem -> solved by deleting app data and cache (waiting, which is suggested by software, doesn't solve this)

6. if IMEI/NVRAM backup is selected in Aroma Installer, the installer drops back to CWM right after clicking "Install Now"

+7. could you please lower soft button brightness? Or share a method for this? It's too bright for me, and I already know the order of the buttons.

+8. could you share a method to make the screen go dim before turning completely off? I know this feature already exists, but unfortunately not at lowest brightness level.

To answer your previous question: Aroma Installer detects correctly the modified partition layout (internal storage is 2.54 GB (as in v2.3) + SD card).
[ZTE Grand X V970] d00lar:
loockscreen will look relay nice and clean without it ;)

maybe you can make it as an option in aroma ?

if no - maybe some suggestion where to search file/apk responsible for it?

good jb rom:laugh:
[ZTE Grand X V970] rankiao2330:
Bruno, brother can you tell me the method or form you use to enable init.d, thanks. excuse my terrible English.
[ZTE Grand X V970] kevin525:
Try this 「vold」 file

can exchange sd card
[ZTE Grand X V970] afualex:
Hi pal, could you please kindly provide the original Official JB file "SMI-ID-QB18D-P175A20V1.0.0 "? There is a company called Lewa in China, which can provide a very good third-party rom for V970, I am using its ICS version, but they do not have the drivers of JB, so I come here to ask for your help.

Thanks in advance!

Please google LEWAOS
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Do you mind to stop spamming around with your vold.fstab? You have already shared it three times and I'm sure people have already read your posts. Besides that, the vold.fstab doesn't have anything to do with init.d which was asked by the user you quoted.

Re: [ROM][16-02-2013] ZTE V970 (MT6577) custom ROMs (ICS / JB)

I've been using the latest ics rom (3.1 mod) on tmn smart a18 for about 2 weeks now and it works great. The only thing is that it a single sim phone. But everything works great. Good job Bruno!
[ZTE Grand X V970] kevin525:
Sorry sir, my English is not enough good...

I try to explain it.

I post to China forum [ Mobile Uncle], http://bbs.ydss.cn/thread-279919-1-2.html

over 100 user test this void.fstab, it's work!

I just edit storage location, reference 4.0.4 exchangeSD method

I don't know this reason, but it's work it

Besides that, try this app

it can expand data Partition to 2GB

@Bruno: Will You add polish lang to next release?

If so, I suppose You'll add my proviously translated xml's.

I see that many apps haven't changed in JB, so I'll update Polish translation as sson as I'll get my hands on next release with my old translation :)

I have one question though - in which apk is the new lockscreen placed??

Sorry, I didn't intend to pressure you, thanks.

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Thanks for your confirmation. So, are all features working, even if you go to dual SIM management? In that case, does it work or is that menu disabled?

Sure, I plan to add support for the same languages as previously.

Lockscreen is part of framework-res.apk, why?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Init.d support is added by enabling busybox run-parts on init.rc (editing boot.img).

There's no official file. The only thing there is is a CWM backup which you can find here.

SIM Toolkit FCs

Anyone else experiencing this with our latest JB ROM? Mine just FCs immediately after the icon is pressed.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Alefello:
Sorry, wrong link here it is.
[ZTE Grand X V970] magnet1215:
Does new JB rom has cifs-support?

I mount HDD of nas to V970 ,The cifs manager doesn't work .It always says 'no such device'.

Thanks a lot.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yeap, just tried and got a FC. I will look into it.

No, unfortunately there's no CIFS support. I was also expecting support for exFAT, but it seems that JB kernel was compiled with exactly the same support in terms of filesystems than the previous ICS kernels. :crying:
[ZTE Grand X V970] HidEaL:
I also experience this. Don't know if it is helpful, but when I press the Sim Tooklit icon i can see both SIM cards. From there, when i select SIM1, i get a FC (process com.android.phone has stopped). When i select SIM2, nothing happens (not a FC but not the sim toolkit menu either). :eek:
[ZTE Grand X V970] mirchi:
A request !!

Hi, This is just a request. Since you have worked on MT6577 chipset can also join the dev community of MMX A110. It has got a huge fan base and users as well. There are lot of threads & customs roms in ICS and JB for this phone. Those custom roms are used by almost other cloned devices like cynus t2, myphone etc.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Unless it was my fault when creating my release, this may be a real bug of the stock ROM itself or any kind of incompatiblity with our phone. I guess we all were expecting that. At least I was... the results we have now are way above my expectation. I wasn't really expecting everything to be working great out-of-the-box. :rolleyes:

As you say, there are already lots of thread and custom ROMs for that phone, so I won't be putting any effort into it. Besides, I don't have such phone, sorry.
[ZTE Grand X V970] dankko:
Untill now Sim Toolkit was working(sim 2).I'm having a dual number sim from voda.Now I'd try the sim 1 option and I've got a FC and since then the sim 2 its not working. :(

After reboot, the sim 2 options from Sim Toolkit, are working again.
[ZTE Grand X V970] HidEaL:
As far as I'm concerned, the SIM Toolkit FC is not a deal breaker. I don't even use it often. Just providing some bug reporting :p

The actual experience with this ROM has been great, and way above expectations. For me, it is a daily driver. There is just one bug with text messaging that annoys me (as I described here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38145759&postcount=1193)

When I get a FC and com.android.phone process stops, both my SIM cards go down (no signal). But after a second or two they come back again (I assume com.android.phone starts again, maybe thats why reebooting solved it for you).
[ZTE Grand X V970] tlac:
I was afraid as well. We need the the full backup of the that JB phone, not just the ROM itself. Probably they also upgraded the firmware, I mean the lower layer.

Re: [ROM][16-02-2013] ZTE V970 (MT6577) custom ROMs (ICS / JB)

In tmn (portuguese) version it works as as a dual sim with only one sim inserted :) i can live with that lol
[ZTE Grand X V970] shadowqs:
GOOD JOB ...

waiting for ur next 2.0 for JB...
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Besides what we got (BOOT and SYSTEM) there's nothing else that is important for that matter. The rest is PRELOADER, DSP_BL or UBOOT.
[ZTE Grand X V970] HidEaL:
Now having tested the JB ROM for 2 days, is it just me or has battery life improved a bit?

And just now, I'm not sure what happened (I just turned the phone off and on again), but

now

the phone is buttery smooth! :D It sure wasn't like this before... I'm not sure if i had turned the phone off since the update, so i'll test this later.
[ZTE Grand X V970] dankko:
Bug ??

I think I find another bug.A lag of proximity sensor especially at the end of the call, when have to wait 4-5 sec to turn on the screen and can end call.Or is just me ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] mmichal2:
I think it is by design, have the same behavior with Bruno's v3.0 and v.3.1 roms

btw, is Bluetooth working with 4.1?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
For sure! Fully working with my BT carkit and headset.
[ZTE Grand X V970] dankko:
No lag for me with Bruno's 3.0 and 3.1

Working perfect with my SE MW600
[ZTE Grand X V970] Majkl007:
Hi Bruno,

if you would like to add also Czech language I can try to translate it. I don't know it is necessary or you can use translation from ICS :)

M.
[ZTE Grand X V970] vagosofron:
I quote Bruno...

"some strings have been modified, comparing JB with ICS, so without doing any additional translation it may be not fully translated"
[ZTE Grand X V970] Quicksilver666:
Okay thanks! I almost reflashed my phone hoping that would sort it out. Saved me lots of trouble in restoring things...

Anyway, both the ROM and phone is working great and it is my day-to-day driver. Thanks again to Bruno and you helpful guys here!
[ZTE Grand X V970] ProHvost:
No AVRCP (caller name and song name) support for me. Same BT device...
[ZTE Grand X V970] LuHash:
Re: [ROM][16-02-2013] ZTE V970 (MT6577) custom ROMs (ICS / JB)

Translations can be easily updated, so it's much simpler to add missing or update strings from previous release.

Not so many captions have been modified comparing to last ICS release:)
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Hey Bruno, quick question: How do you add a new language to the system? I wanna test a translation I'm working on but I can't find a way to add a new language into the framework (or wherever it should be). Thanks!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
The answer is simple. not so simple as the real work it involves: you have to decompile each and every .apk, add the localized values folder (containing the localized .xml files) and then recompile back.

If you already have Spanish localization files you can send me so that I can add it to the next release.
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Oh, I already decompiled all the APK files and merged them with ICS files, then edited some manually and wanted to see if it would work out-of-the-box. I recall though that once I single-copied some of your files manually in a mod I was working on and it automatically added like 10 more languages or so and thats why I'm asking. So, no need to add them somewhere? Just throw the files in, recompile and voilá?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
No need to add to anywhere else other than the .apk's... Don't forget about the framework .apk's. In fact, if you don't add it also to framework-res.apk system will not be aware of new languages (through languages settings system menus).
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
I see, that was really helpful, thanks for the help! I'll try today and see what happens, once the translation is okay I'll send the files to you so you can update it :D
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Okay, send me the localized .xml files, not the compiled .apk's. I want to avoid at all costs to decompile and compile the .apk's over and over as it may cause many unexpected issues.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Update regarding additional languages support in the next release: I am currently searching for a stock JB ROM from another MT6577 phone which can be used to extract localized .xml files. Only after that, I will be able to say to each one of you that are offering the help to complete translations if that is necessary or not. Let's hope not! :fingers-crossed:
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Question regarding this matter... If I get a stock JB ROM from other MT6577 device, it may contain the stock JB app icons. Do you guys want it as well? Personally, I would prefer to have JB icons.
[ZTE Grand X V970] LuHash:
Re: [ROM][16-02-2013] ZTE V970 (MT6577) custom ROMs (ICS / JB)

Stock icons would be great, but they can be obtained from f.ex. Nova Launcher

Very good news! Thanks to yuweng I have found a JB ROM from a MT6577 device which contains support for lots of languages. I will merge the additional languages into V970 ROM and I guess that no translation will be needed at all. Will keep you posted. ;)

Re: [ROM][16-02-2013] ZTE V970 (MT6577) custom ROMs (ICS / JB)

For some reason, play store keeps adw launcher ex and beautiful widgets widget installing on sd card and not phone internal storage. I found out this by using link2sd card. This is what is causing problems mentioned in some of my last posts. Reflashing the rom (without wiping data) didn't help.
[ZTE Grand X V970] angel.grin:
hi sir bgcngm,

i have a question, can i use the V970 extended userdata mod.zip on other MT6577 devices?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yes, and even a few more.

Have you tried changing preferred install location setting? Go to Settings / Storage / Preferred install location and try to force that setting to be set to Internal storage instead of Let the system decide.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Other MT6577 devices may have different vold.fstab and it may not work.
[ZTE Grand X V970] lurkerPL:
Re: [ROM][16-02-2013] ZTE V970 (MT6577) custom ROMs (ICS / JB)

Hmm... phone storage was selected.

Temporary solution for me was installing free version of adw (which suits me) plus fancy widget (also quite fine). Both were installed on internal memory by default.
[ZTE Grand X V970] angel.grin:
thank you sir for your quick response, anyway i tried it before reading your answer. aroma installer didn't run. may i know what should i edit in the vold.fstab file. i am sure the stock vold.fstab of v970 is the same with my phone. i just need to know what to put in the vold.fstab file. thank you.

here is the contents of the vold.fstab of my device. if you have time to look at it sir. thanks!:D
[ZTE Grand X V970] gerstavros:
fstab is same on most mtk6577 devices, however i tried it to another device, but /data wasn't changed ..
[ZTE Grand X V970] angel.grin:
can anyone in here post the modified vold.fstab after using the V970 extended userdata mod.zip? i just want to copy the modified vold.fstab. thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I forgot to inform you that MBR/EBR1 needs to be modified in order to apply new partition sizes. Editing vold.fstab is a just a needed step afterwards so that phone doesn't mount internal sdcard anymore.
[ZTE Grand X V970] angel.grin:
yes sir i have already done the MBR, EBR1 via SP Flash tools, my problem now is the V970 extended userdata mod.zip it doesn't install properly.

anyway. i have restored to my last settings it is also repartition but with EBR only then vold.fstab modified to disable internal. but it is a different approach than yours sir bgcngm.

the problem with the mod i followed is that i cant move apps to the SD card anymore they're just stuck in the internal memory.

thats why i want to try your MOD if it has no problems like the one I currently have. so if you have the time to point me in the right direction to make your zip file work. thanks.

Yes, it's possible and that was something I was internally planning to do. I will try to change it. ;)

I will add icons from the other ROM I got, which is based on Android 4.1. I think the icons are the stock ones, exactly equal to Android 4.0. Regarding wallpapers, as far as I have seen, the ones that come along with stock launcher are the ones which can be found on Nexus 4 (Android 4.2), so I assume it's already the stock ones.

@Bruno

The apps used for fast switching between 2G and 3G only modes do not work. I think this is because the location of this setting has changed in Settings.apk.

Any suggestion?

[ZTE Grand X V970] anglergab:
Ok. I have noticed that the phone is awake very-very frequently (JB v1.0), when the screen is off, so it should be in deep sleep. I think, the frequent wakes are caused by the kernel. I have installed Deep Sleep Battery Saver app, which should stop every service when screen is off. However, there's no change, the frequent awakes appear. However, there is no excessive draining of battery.

What's your opinion? Are these wakes just artifacts of the measurement method and should be ignored or are caused by kernel bug?

Was anyone experiencing any problems with stock JB E-mail (including Exchange) app? I have just tried to configure a POP3 account, sent an e-mail and had no problem.
