Could You please check the polish translation for Clock.apk? I've noticed that when I set ringer for more than one day (f.ex. working weekdays), it crashes just after clicking 'accept' button :-/

The second problem is with default music app (for me in any lang) - it crashes every time I select 'artist->unknown artist' from artist selection.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Sure, I will check that and hopefully you will have it working by the end of the day. :fingers-crossed:

Touchscreen issue ?

Hi ! I just receive my ZTE v970 4 days ago (from a friend who came from China), and I follow this amazing thread to flash recovery + the 2.3 MOD + fix for removing internal sdcard. It was ok for 2-3 days. After I face a strange issue (after an Android crash), the touchscreen no more work.

So I remove sim, sdcard, battery and wait for 30 min, then, boot again, and it was ok even after several reboot.

This morning, I wanted to make my "final" installation / full wipe, and now, I can't explain why but, after a full wipe (recovery) touchscreen is no more responsive :(

I try to reflash everything since the beginning, and wait more than 2 hours without battery, no toucscreen (including button at the bottom of the screen) !!! I can flash from recovery using vol+ - and power, but no more...

So my first question: Are you able to use button at the bottom of the screen in recovery? (for me no...)

Second question, where I can find stock everything to flash & check if I face HW issue or not?

-> Stock bootloader + stock ROM

Every others ideas are welcome !!!

UPDATE: since this post, I try the "Memory Test" section of SP Flash tool v31224.01, RAM was ok, no NAND is present (?), EMMC Test was so long that I finaly stop. Then, I flash again recovery (no issue here) using ST tool, but now my phone never boot / power on to recovery (=> bricked !!) :(

I can't believe that this is due to RAM Test, but probably due to EMMC Test (pattern writting ?)

So, again, same question, how to unbricked my new v970 device ? is there a way to come back to stock (and flash everything using SP tool ?)

SP Tool is the only way I can communicate with my v970

Very bad day today :(
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Read FAQ, download stock ROM and flash it. If you haven't damaged bootloader you can still bring your V970 back to life. :p
[ZTE Grand X V970] waby38:
Oupss... Sorry, I'll try this, feedback in few minutes

Many thanks for you support.

Update: Bingo !! My phone back to the life !!! ...still I have this touchscreen issue which is not working :( even with stock everything...

I really don't know to address that with ZTE as it seem to be an hardware issue

Again, many thanks for your support
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Okay, it is all fixed now. Download the attached update.zip and flash it from recovery. ;)

EDIT: Attachment removed due to the release of a new update. Read more here.

Read the above reply, the same applies. Regarding stock Music app I wasn't able to find any problem. Can you paste the adb logcat error?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I'm glad to know that you have your phone back... and sorry about your touchscreen problem. You probably have to send it back for warranty repair.

By the way, better than writing is to hit "Thanks" button. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] SwordfishCZ:
Hi and thanks for this fix. I have tested it now thoroughly and all crashes are gone, except for one ;)

It's in the app Keychain, it's used for example if you use Email.app with Exchange account with certificate authorization.

I found the problem and have corrected it. In the attachement are corrected CZ strings as well as newly built KeyChain.app. If you could add it to the fix, it would be great for all our fellows in the middle of Europe.
[ZTE Grand X V970] alexw801:
Hi bgcngm,

Is your latest Fix V970 (Czech and Polish).zip necessary for Hungarian users?

I do not see problem if some apps are not compatible on V970, such as Facebook v1.9.11 , Full Screen Caller ID, etc. Simply we must not use them.
[ZTE Grand X V970] SwordfishCZ:
No it's not necesarry for you, it's just a correction in Czech and Polish translation. If you don't use these two languages, you can ignore the fix.
[ZTE Grand X V970] coolsabby7:
didnt work??please explain may be i missed some thing

hi swordfish

thanks for the reply...above you said about waking phone up using nay hardware button...an i tried the step us said..but nothing happened..did you miss any step...or may be i ddint understand properly...

after setting the screen lock type do we nee install "No Lock" app ????

please can you explain..in points...

your reply would be really help full....

thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Hmmm... that reminded me to search for those translation errors (% 1 $ s instead of %1$s) and found more problems on other CZ strings. So, ignore the previous fix and use this one instead (it contains all fixed .apk files).

By the way, which program did you all three (you, HunCZ and PCKarlos) used to edit the .xml files? I'm just curious because when I received the translated .xml files there were lots of UTF-8 encoding errors. I advise you to use Notepad++ for that.
[ZTE Grand X V970] SwordfishCZ:
Hey, I had the same idea. Now in the evening I wanted to unpack all apks and search for "% s" and "(%1$ s"). You were faster, great job. BTW. I have tested your new fix and haven't found any problem.

For editing files I use Pspad and I always check my encoding. But as I have told you,I translated only a few apks. I don't know, what the others use.
[ZTE Grand X V970] SwordfishCZ:
Hello, I didn't know how to describe it properly, so I recorded a short video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8kS_OuaYjQ

First sorry for the quality, I recorded it with an older smartphone, and second sorry for the low speech volume (again because of the smartphone).

In Settings it's in Security -> Screen lock the option "None" let's you unlock your phone with any hardware button (as is shown on the video).

THE SAME THING (unlocking phone by any hardware button) does the application "No lock" (as is also shown on the video), even if you set pattern lock, PIN lock or any other lock.

The option Settings -> Security -> Screen lock -> "None" doesn't need the application "No lock" and vice versa "No lock" doesn't care about what is set in Settings. Only if you install certificaes to your phone, neither of these methods work (In Settings the word None is greyed out and cannot be selected). To find out, whether you have installed any certificate, go to Settings -> Security and find "Clear credentials. If it is greyed out, then there's nothing to delete and you don't have any certificate installed.
[ZTE Grand X V970] lowert:
Hey! can I use this on the intel grandx?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
No, you can't. These custom ROMs are only for V970 based on MT6577 SoC (from MediaTek).
[ZTE Grand X V970] kmotala:
Ok, I have problem after flashing via recovery i have this same imei number on sim card 1 and sim card 2. Can I fix it ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] cliviu:
battery life

Hi guys, I'm just about to order the V970 and I would like to ask you about the battery life of the phone. I typically use the phone in GSM mode for both sim cards, no data connection, talk about one and a half hours a day and use wifi occasionally, just under 15 minutes a day. I would like some numbers in terms of usage and battery consumption by you. Many thanks.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That is not a problem. Please read FAQ for more info.

Hmmm... for your use I would say that the battery will hold two days without any problem. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] cliviu:
Two days woud be excellent, thanks for reply Bruno.
[ZTE Grand X V970] LuHash:
please find my logcat attached to this post :) hope this will help to solve my problem :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I think I found the solution to your problem. Again, it was a bad string on a translated .xml file.

Download the new update.zip that contains all translation fixes until now. Let me now if it works now. :highfive:
[ZTE Grand X V970] LuHash:
Yep, You definitely found it :) Thanks once again Bruno!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That's good to know! What is not so good is that after fixing Music.apk I have found some more bad strings on other Polish .xml files which I will have to correct later.

Quick side note: I really hope that you guys are enjoying my custom ROM on your native language because this thing of adding languages on request is giving me big headaches. :p
[ZTE Grand X V970] alexw801:
Hi. bgcngm,

Here are questions from the Russian forum to you:

Ответ:#943 » takeshi05 » 31 окт 2012, 12:44

Спрашивали ли у Бруно, почему он убрал стоковый локер из своих кастомных прошивок и не хочет ли он его вернуть (добавить)?

И по поводу отсутствия в меню пункта AGPS аналогично.

Why did you take away locker and AGPS in you custom ROM?

As I see, sometimes you are walking on the Russian forum also.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yes, I go there from time to time, but it is not easy to understand the context of some conversations even using Google translate.

About your question: I haven't removed locker from my custom ROMs. The stock ROM from ZTE has "Press to unlock" feature instead of "Slide to unlock", if that's what you mean. I haven't made any changes related to that feature. A-GPS feature was never present on B03 or B05 stock ROMs, so the reason why you don't see that feature is because ZTE disabled it, not me. More, I tried to enable it and wasn't able because it was causing FC's on Settings app. After that I haven't had time to look again into it, but hey... MediaTek EPO is working. :cool:
[ZTE Grand X V970] davychau:
Hi bgcngm,

i have try the A-GPS function when using the Rom 2.2 and 2.3

it is work when turn on the WIFI, even not connected to any AP

( i just check the google map location is correct! May be it is working for checking the other wifi-ap location)

May it can help you to fix this bugs !
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
It is not easy to understand what you've wrote. How have you activated A-GPS if that feature is not present on my custom ROMs? :confused:
[ZTE Grand X V970] Pegli:
Yesyerday I tried a GPS based app (OruxMaps) for the first time on 2.3... in the end it worked, but initially I thought it wasn't, because a so loooong time to lock satellites.

Is there something I'm missing? Somewhere I read that there could be a file with some setting related to china satellites instead european ones: is it true??

EDIT: reading this page:

http://www.modaco.com/topic/351968-satelite-fix-for-gps/

i'm afraid to have found a major problem for me! :mad:

Since I cannot change root explorer to rw, I used "Root Checker basic", and the result is:

SORRY! This device does not have proper root access.

:confused:

I thought that your rom was already rooted... am I doing somehing wrong???
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
For sure you did something wrong because all my custom ROMs are rooted. When you run an application that needs superuser access do you get the Superuser request popup?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Pegli:
Yes, it usually does...

I checked Superuser... I have now set it to ask everytime, and manually granted the superuser access to Rootexplorer and Root Checker.

All is OK, now! Thanks Bruno!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Okay, just as promised, here is the final update.zip to fix all the apps that contained bad strings on CZ, HU and PL .xml files. That said, this update should be installed by all Czech, Hungarian and Polish users. :good:
[ZTE Grand X V970] wilcovh:
I have been trying to download the EPO assistance file

it always fails. Is this known with this rom?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Using a file explorer go to /data/misc and delete EPOTMP.DAT. After that try to download EPO data again. It should work. ;)

That is a known problem of some MediaTek ROMs. Doesn't happens only on my custom ROMs.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Pegli:
I can't download EPO file... and I have no epotmp.dat at all...

Too many problems with gps to use v970 as my trekking assistant device (no magnetic compass, way too slow in getting gps to work...).

Well... I'll use it for everything else, but when I'm going to walk, I'll take wit me my old Liquid! ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] kmotala:
For me EPO download not work. I delte all epo files "tmp and md5".
[ZTE Grand X V970] cliviu:
???

I just wonder if anyone have tried something like this:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2400...ree-shipping-by-Singapore-Post/664310617.html

The inscription on the item it writes only "u970".Thanks.
[ZTE Grand X V970] xdaanthony:
Disable 3G, it is OK.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
There seems to be a global problem probably with MediaTek servers that is not letting the EPO data download to complete. One may notice that there's a file named EPO.MD5 under /data/misc that contains the MD5 hash of the EPO.DAT file. In my case the checksum is not matching, so that may be the reason why the download never completes. I have been told that there are other persons with different devices, still running stock ROMs, with the exact same problem.

Nevertheless, try to do it like the brute-force way: when download fails, go to /data/misc and rename the just downloaded EPOTMP.DAT to EPO.DAT (delete the already existing file if applicable).
[ZTE Grand X V970] Alefello:
Hi, I found a problem with the CID bugfix: When I have two numbers with same number and different prefix, it uses the same contact name for both:

for example: John Doe +39 345 1234567, but when I send a sms to +39 346 1234567 it says that it is "John Doe" but it isn't.

PS: any news for the flashlight?

Thank you

Alefello
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That happens because I have set min_match variable to 0x7, which is the most common value. However, the default value on the stock ROM was 0xB (in decimal: 11).

There are no news regarding flashlight. I have tried the app from Huawei U8836D ROM and it force closes when used on V970.
[ZTE Grand X V970] kandreou:
FlashLight

I'm using this flashlight from the Google Play Store and it works perfectly... But i have the etotalk rom installed with bruno's recovery... check it out!!
[ZTE Grand X V970] sergioi:
It does the same as other Flashlight programs, it turns on the led, but it is not as bright as when you are using the Camera Flash. I think that's because they used a very weak Led lamp and it might burn if it is used in full brightness for a long period. Someone need to try to code an app that allows to turn on the Led lamp in Camera Flash mode, them we will have a true Flashlight in this phone, but I am afraid it will burn the led, that's why ZTE coded the flashlight function to turn on in a low(useless) brightness.

Cheers,

Sergio

Facebook application

So, what about the Facebook application? It crashes. Have you find a solution?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Facebook v1.9.10 is confirmed to be working (read more here). I'm assuming that the latest version has a problem, and it is not related to my custom ROM. If there is anyone that already managed to run Facebook v1.9.11 on the stock ROM then please let me know.
[ZTE Grand X V970] alexw801:
Facebook v1.9.10.apk works. Isn't it enough?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
It seems not to be enough... :silly: Anyhow, now that the issue is mentioned again I'm curious to know if that is really a problem of the latest app or a problem of my ROM.
[ZTE Grand X V970] kandreou:
Facebook

Well it doesn't work either in the etotalk rom... i had to go back to Facebook v1.9.10.apk to make it work!!! They also have this bug

"Fixed the bug related to the association of caller identification (CID) with contacts, due to country code prefixes" which u have fixed already!! :p

[ZTE Grand X V970] Anunnaki:
Mediatek have problem on FTP server.

FTP server: epo.mediatek.com

Port: 21

Login: epo_alps

Password: epo_alps

There are two files:

EPO.DAT

EPO.MD5

Both files are updated on the server once per day, usualy around 7:51(GMT+1).

They should be downloaded to the folder: /data/misc .

When you try to download them from phone "EPO settings", you see message "EPO FILE INFO DOWNLOADING", than you see (50%). That 50% status appears and disappears around 3 times, and some time after that you receive error message "Download files invalid".

The reason is, that they have always wrong MD5 checksum in file EPO.MD5. So your phone download and compare/calc checksum for few times, but every time the checksum is incorrect. And that is reason, why it is not working.

I have tried to connect to the epo.mediatek.com ftp server manually from PC. Every time i download EPO.DAT file, the MD5 checksum is the same, but in EPO.MD5 file is another one (also still the same).

I have calculated correct MD5 checksum, and changed it to correct value to the file EPO.MD5. Than I have uploaded both files to my private FTP server. And than, through "Engineering Menu" (you can enter there by calling number *#*#3646633#*#* and then select "EPO" item) in the phone I have changed FTP connection/login/password to my server, and tested that. And when I have there correct MD5 checksum in file EPO.MD5, everything works as it should be.

So someone should tell Mediatek, that they have some serious problem with MD5 calculation on their FTP server.

Perhaps, I will create special FTP account on my own private FTP server, where script will every day download latest EPO.DAT file from "epo.mediatek.com" and that fix and store correct files on my private FTP. Than I can give to all you guys FTP address/login/password, so you would be able to download actual EPO files automatically from my server (just you need to go to the engineering menu and change FTP credentials to my private server). I put here those next weekend.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Thank you for your useful info! :good: It finally confirms that the problem is not related to my custom ROM.

Can you please point the direction for MTK FTP settings under Engineering mode? I remember having seen that, but I can't find it anymore...
[ZTE Grand X V970] inspectaclueso:
Awesome work!

This has been driving me crazy for a few days now. Flashing all different versions of ROMs to three different phones to try and get working.

I knew it had worked previously so could not understand what was different.

Hopefully, there are some senior members on this forum with 'contacts' that can notify MediaTek to find a solution.

In the mean time I look forward to your FTP work around.

Many thanks for sharing.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I know how to enter MTK Engineering mode, but I don't have EPO entry there... Are you running my custom ROM? It must be something that I have removed without intention.:p
[ZTE Grand X V970] Anunnaki:
No, I have phone Star N8000 (MTK 6573), also with custom ROM, but not yours. I just found this/your thread, that users have problem with EPO, so I tried to help.

When you don't have this item in you engineering menu, that can be problem.

Or at least perhaps you can "inject" some "host" file in Android, which is used to translate DNS names to IP.

In Windows you can find that in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts . You put there new line, something like this:

epo.mediatek.com 111.222.333.444

Where 111.222.333.444 would be IP address of your server. So application tries to connect to the epo.mediatek.com, but in reality it would be translated to IP address of your FTP server. You just need to create there (on your FTP server) also user account "epo_alps" without password.

But I am not sure, where to find such file in Android. Perhaps you can find some info about that here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=514698 .

Hi all,

I'm trying to apply the mod to increase the phone internal memory, as explained by Bruno in an early post.

But I'm blocking at the first step. I can't install the MT6575 USB VCOM drivers. The device manager tells me that the device cannot start, with a code 10 error...

Any idea on that?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Haven't you flashed my custom recovery before? Which OS are you using?
[ZTE Grand X V970] guiooome:
I have bought the phone rooted, so I have directly installed you custom ROMs. I am using Win XP and 7. Same issue on both computers.
[ZTE Grand X V970] SwordfishCZ:
Hi, I faced the same problem.

Just install those drivers and continue with the flashing guide. Once you remove the battery, put it back and connect your powered off phone to the computer, "New HW found" wizard will start and it will correctly assign the drivers to your phone (In win 7 you'll notice in the notification area, that "New hardware has been installed successfully").

If you worry about the unknown "MTK 65xx" device in Device Manager, install these drivers http://www.uloz.to/x9siDDA/android-adb-usb-driver-zip (Android ADB Interface). They are from the Android SDK.
