[ZTE Grand X V970] SwordfishCZ:
I have a problem with Wi-fi.

When I turn my phone on at home, the phone connects to one of two wi-fi networks, which are available. Both of them works. The next day, when I come to work, it doesn’t automatically connect to our company network. When I open Settings -> Wi-fi, I see that I am not connected to any network.

After a few seconds, the phone shows, it is connected to one of my home networks (screenshot http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/706/screenshot1ow.png/ ), and after a while (let’s say about a minute), it shows what’s on screenshot 2 http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/198/screenshot2gck.png/ – an Authentication problem connecting to my home wi-fi network. I am at work, so there’s NO Vlkovice-2 or Vlkovice-3 network there. Even if I run Scan or turn wi-fi off and on, the result is the same (connected to a home network).

After reboot of the phone, everything works without a problem (screenshot http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/856/screenshot3lb.png/ ). You can see, that there aren’t any Vlkovice-2 or Vlkovice-3 at work.

I have also noticed, that when Wi-fi is in this „weird“ state, I can’t turn Bluetooth on. When I try it, it automatically turns itself off within a second.

In the log, there is

…
D/[BT] ( 109): mtk: mediatek/source/external/bluetooth/driver/mtk.c 430
W/[BT] ( 109): init_uart #108
E/[BT] ( 109): init_uart: Can't open serial port
E/[BT] ( 109): mtk: Can't initialize/dev/stpbt
I/BluetoothService.cpp( 229): [GAP] MSG_ID_BT_POWERON_CNF: result=0
E/BluetoothService.cpp( 229): [GAP] btmtk_gap_power_on failed
E/BluetoothAdapterStateMachine( 229): failed to prepare bluetooth, abort turning on
…

I have also looked and the logs of wi-fi, but haven’t found anything useful

Does anyone experienced such a strange behaviour of wi-fi? When I was at home the whole weekend, wi-fi worked. But as soon as I leave home, it always stops working until I restart the phone. Weird, isn’t it ?

The official B06 Rom is released , anyone try and know the different ?

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Hmmm.. I guess that no one was aware of that. Strange is that the link still points to P020120905375524756561.zip, which was B05. Are you sure that B06 is real?

EDIT: Okay, just confirmed that the file downloaded from that link contains B05 and not B06. Where have you read that B06 was released?

Hi, I installed MOD 2.3 yesterday, after having extended phone internal memory, seemed to work fine.

But turning on the phone this morning, it said something like "uprgrading android apps", and all screen layouts + some data were lost. Also, I cannot be reached on SIM1, although I can call. Text messages arrive ok. Did not try SIM2. Has anyone had the issue?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
So, have you installed the latest custom ROM and did nothing more? Then please read FAQ, because the answer to your question is there...
[ZTE Grand X V970] cmoegele:
someone tried the Lewa rom too ? I would need language pack for this,...
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
There is no such thing as language packs for a ROM. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] guiooome:
Hi, your hint helped, things are better, but I still encounter some problems.

I still have a /sdcard in the root, which should have disappeard I think, and the external SDCARD shows as /mnt/sdcard2.

Evernote says I need an SDCARD installed, so it will not start. Problems as well with picture gallery.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yes, something is still wrong on your side because after disabling internal sdcard, there will be only one mountpoint that is /mnt/sdcard (and /sdcard is linked to that mountpoint). Please check again what you did, if errors still continue then re-install the ROM and don't forget to disable internal sdcard by installing the .zip that I have released. :good:
[ZTE Grand X V970] guiooome:
Did it all again and it s fine now. Thanks Bruno.

GPS

It seems that I cannot use GPS. It cannot find satelites. :( Did I miss some posts about that?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Wonderful! You can now enjoy. :)

EDIT: I'm currently working on a new installer for the next ROM update in which the user will be able to choose whether or not internal sdcard should be disabled (depending if the mod was applied or not).

Currently, the only problem known problem is that MediaTek servers that host EPO data are not working. Although, that should not affect your phone's GPS reception (it may only take some more time on the first fix).
[ZTE Grand X V970] sp4wned:
I'm in car and is searching Gps servers for about 15 min without Epo setting. On my last phone it worked i tjink on 2.2 version
[ZTE Grand X V970] cybermaus:
If the car is moving, the GPS will have a hard time building its almanac. Stop the car and stand still outside the car for 15 minutes.

Yes, it's a bother, but that is how it works if you do not have preloaded data. Once you have GPS position, make sure you have it active at least 30 minutes per day to keep the almanac up to date. Until the EPO server is back.
[ZTE Grand X V970] sp4wned:
It works now.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Alefello:
I have a problem (which I think is not related to your rom, but I hope you can help me). I want to use the stock messaging app (I already tried Go SMS pro and Handcent, but I didn't like them) but I want to remove the "max recipients" limit and the "sms to mms conversion limit" (and some other little things).

So I followed some guides and changed:

- smsToMmsTextThreshold to 100, 400, -1 but no value works and it converts to mms at 10 messages :(

- recipientLimit to 100, -1 but no luck and it still limits recipients to 10 :(

- I changed

invoke-static {}, Ljava/lang/System;->currentTimeMillis()J

to

invoke-virtual {p1}, Landroid/telephony/SmsMessage;->getTimestampMillis()J

but doesn't work :(

- I corrected the smiles mapping in the italian *.xml and at least this worked!

I already set the correct permissions, rebooted, clear app data, all the things together, all the things in different order, but nothing changes.

Could someone help me? I really like the stock app, buth this pair of things are really annoying :/

Thank you

Hi 2 all!!

Dear bgcngm, maybe u know - how to increase builtin flashlight brightness by programming method? In ZTE V970 LED(flashlight) is very poor.

STAR 8000+ (other MT6577 smartphone) have same Light-emmitting diode and brightness like V970. But when i tried to flash STAR 8000+ by other ROM's - brightness is change, its become more brightness! i think it will be helpful for all users of V970.

Maybe you know how to fix it?

GPS working withoot EPO

Hi, I last time used EPO support in Hungary. Now I came to Taiwan, and started GPS Status app, sitting in a car on the way, no Internet connection, no EPO, it started in some minutes and works fine.

I am on v2.3MOD ROM of Bruno.
[ZTE Grand X V970] davychau:
sorry about that , this is i read from a china forum http://bbs.anzhi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5968710

Does anyone know where I can find a good looking ZTE boot animation?
[ZTE Grand X V970] wtel:
As I only use SIM 1, the notification bar always shows an icon that SIM 2 slot has no card inserted. Is there any way to disable the second SIM card (or at least hide the icon) ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yes, there is a solution for that. Just edit your build.prop and change the following line:

ro.operator.optr=OP02

into:

ro.operator.optr=OP01

After applying that change reboot your phone. If you get the error "android.process.media has stopped" after reboot, go to Settings / Apps / All, force stop and clear all data of Download Manager and Media Storage.
[ZTE Grand X V970] wtel:
Can we used that from ZTE Racer or Blade or etc like this?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Hmmm... that's fake, it's an imitation of default HTC boot animation. I was looking for something original, but nevermind.

By the way, I have already replied to your question. ;)

Great! It works well. Thanks

bgcngm:

First,thanks for your job!

One question:going in the near future the new ROM and when?

thanks :good:
[ZTE Grand X V970] jonzalvo:
I modified the build. prop.

with root explorer you should go to system / build.prop.

See below and on the line that says "ro.operator.optr = OP02" substitute: ro.operator.optr = OP03
[ZTE Grand X V970] twrock:
Although I operate my phone in English, I also make use of Traditional Chinese handwriting IME. Can you tell me which APK's and lib files are necessary to put back into the rom in order to get Chinese IME working completely again? Or is MT's implementation simply the stock Touchpal Chinese IME that can be installed from the Play Store?

Thanks.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I don't know if that ROM is fake or not... no matter what it can't be ported to V970 because we needed a kernel compiled against JB sources.

I plan to continue working on new custom ROMs if ZTE keeps releasing new updates and / or if I find that there should be new features / fixes / improvements.

In attachment you can find the Chinese IME that came with ZTE official ROM. I don't know how good it is, probably TouchPal is better. :cool:
[ZTE Grand X V970] wtel:
Hi bgcngm,

I would like to use app like Tasker to toggle the phone's 2G/3G mode but find it impossible in this ROM. Then I found that TheMasterBaron has written an app to do so. Could you embed it into your future ROM?

Thanks.

BTW, he also made some boot animations and you might be interested.
[ZTE Grand X V970] NetMare:
I also tried tasker but it crashes. Any idea?

Gesendet von meinem ZTE V970
[ZTE Grand X V970] twrock:
Thanks much. :good: I'll compare the two and figure out which I prefer.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
The instructions mention that the signatures must match. I don't know if that is the problem or not.

It is nice to know that there are Chinese users using my custom ROMs. :laugh:
[ZTE Grand X V970] twrock:
I don't doubt some are. However, that is not me. I am an American, but I need to be able to enter Chinese characters (handwriting recognition). I found with my Hauwei phone, their built-in implementation was superior to the other options. I don't know if this is true of ZTE's implementation, but I can compare.

Unfortunately, my order was canceled, so I still don't have the phone. :( I guess that's what happens sometimes when you try to get the absolute cheapest price.
[ZTE Grand X V970] gerstavros:
As i know, touchpal is the best way to type chinese.

Anyway where did you buy the phone? I ve order two, one from merimobiles and one from etotalk with multilanguage rom for greek and both got shipped this week
[ZTE Grand X V970] magnet1215:
I am chinese, I think touchpal is the best ChineseIME, Google Pinyin is also prefect~:laugh:
[ZTE Grand X V970] guiooome:
Hi all,

I have tried to use a heaset on the phone, but I get a continuous click click click, even when nothing's playing.

Has anybody encounterd this? Is it due to the OS (Bruno's ROM 2.3), or to an installed app? Any idea?

Thanks.
[ZTE Grand X V970] wtel:
I've tried to following his guide to inject Toggle2G to your ROM and resign the APKs and reflash successfully, but Toggle2G isn't appear in the launcher. Probably not supported:(.

One more question. I feel uncomfortable with the long overscroll distance, do you know how to adjust or just disable it?

I'm Chinese too :D.

Noone has any idea? :(
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Just a little update: I'm currently finishing a new update which now includes AROMA installer. This means that the new ROM installation will now be fully user customize-able. Besides, it will include some of the latest Android 4.2 apps.

A huge improvement is that update-script will now automatically disable internal sdcard if userdata has been extended, meaning that user will not have to manually disable internal sdcard. Be sure to read the update notice I left on post #4 to be prepared for the update.

Support for Greek language will also be added, so this may take a little while. I hope to release the new update by the end of the next week.
[ZTE Grand X V970] yuweng:
Master Shifu BM, delighted to inform you that i got your ROM running perfectly on my Lenovo A789 just by patching 2 files only...
[ZTE Grand X V970] ckethan:
How? What files?

Same possible for other roms? Like jb rom for n821?
[ZTE Grand X V970] LuHash:
Please share the procedure :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Congratulations! :highfive:

Obviously you have used kernel from A789 and what else? Does it run good? Do you have all the functions working (camera, FM radio, etc)? Does FM Transmitter works with a different framework than Lenovo?
[ZTE Grand X V970] cybermaus:
Interesting. So the hardware of the A750 and V970 are both very similar. Probably both reference design. Maybe you should release it as bruno/yuweng hybrid ROM for A789 :fingers-crossed:

BTW: I have the habit to always also copy all the *.ko modules (from /lib/modules) along with the kernel. Especially if I see size differences on the object. Though, if the modules work, then they work.

What is the 2nd file indeed? Taking a guess, I would say most likely would be keymap or fstab

EDIT: Unless if you mean build.prop of course. But that hardly counts as a file tweak.

PS: to other hopeful people/ckethan: It is not always that easy. I tried to put the ZP300 into my A750, and that completely failed to work. As hardware released are more apart in time, as less likely it is that such a port is possible. So I would not hope too much for a cross hardware JB port. But who knows...
[ZTE Grand X V970] yuweng:
Hehe, i always try the unconventional way when it comes to ROM porting...

After months of trying, found out its mtk_stp_wmt.ko. Without it, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth can't be switch on...

the 2nd file i took from A789 is libcameracustom.so. Without it, the camera took greenish photos...

Since Master Shifu BM will release new update next week, i have created a simple Drag & Drop guide updated for Lenovo A789 users to try it out & report back any abnormality...

So far that i've tried, everything work of the box so its basically a full port...And may be Master Shifu BM would like to include it to the new AROMA Installer then alot of Lenovo A789 users will be very happy... :D

However, did try the Lenovo FM Transmitter it doesn't work...
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Well, if you and cybermaus don't have anything against it, I can release a port for Lenovo A789 on the next update. Maybe FM Transmitter can be fixed, it is probably just a signature problem. Nevertheless, credits to you for your findings.
[ZTE Grand X V970] cybermaus:
well, that makes 3 files then, including the kernel, which you must also have done. Unless if you only flashed the system, and left the boot.img (that includes the kernel) as is from the V970, but if you did not even bother to check boot.img, then you are really lucky :p

Still, its what 99% of the ROM builders (including myself) are doing. Persistently mess around till it works. (bm excluded. I *know* he reads/interprets/mods smali)

But I repeat: Maybe best pro-actively copy all the *.ko's, not just the one.
[ZTE Grand X V970] lurkerPL:
Hey, what about Jelly Bean for MTK6577? Looks like this chinese MTK-6577 phone already has it (http://www.chinaecarts.com/samsung-...nch-mtk6577-android-41-16gb-phone-p-3095.html). Is it possible to port it to our ZTE V970? I'm guessing there would be problem with kernel at first. bgcngm?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I don't want to repeat myself over and over... read this.
[ZTE Grand X V970] yuweng:
i've tried Amoi N820 & N821 which claim to be JB but it doesn't boot on Lenovo A789 so it will have a very slim chance it will work on V970... And as Master Shifu BM said, you'll never know whether its a real JB or fake one...

Hehe, i'm one of those outlaw guy... :cowboy: if it works, i don't patch it...

In fact, to my surprise, since my MT6573 time & now MT6577 (i skip MT6575 so i donno if it works) i have ported numerous custom ROM without boot.img & even flashing others MT65xx Stock ROM system.img directly via SP Flash Tool & it did boots up... :D

Some need a lot of patching while others just the firmware folder... :laugh:

Hehe, i'm just a ROM porter no ROM cooker so basically i have no say in this case & you are most welcome to do it...

This is Thomas from Hong Kong. I just bought the v970 few days ago and using your rom now. The phone with your rom is a perfect match. Smooth, sufficient space for apps. Really great work. Thanks! Only the GPS locates very slow, even cannot locate. I think it is a hardware problem, right?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Thanks for your feedback!

Does it get long time to fix or no fix at all? The first time to fix can be some minutes, but if you don't get any satellite in the view then it could be a hardware problem.

Anyone have this problem? When I check the speed for internet, with GSM/WCDMA(AUTO), the speed is low and abnormal.

Then change to WCDMA mode, the speed is resumed normal and change back to GSM/WCDMA(AUTO) and also OK.

I am Hong Kong user and have the same problem too. I thought it was the problem of bad weather and don't a thorough test yet. Did you tried modifying the NTP_SERVER values in "/system/etc/gps.conf"?

The following values may help:

NTP_SERVER=hk.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.hk.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.asia.pool.ntp.org

*** Updated ***

Yesterday I tried with GPS Test App in office with the Europe NTP server values in gps.conf replaced by the above ones. I only got 1 satellite in view and couldn't get fixed even after waiting for more than 5 minutes. My friend using Nexus S get first fix in half a minute.

I've just tested again with the following procedure:

Enabled EPO and downloaded the data successfully, MediaTek's server seems working corretly.

Installed FasterGPS and set the region to Asia-Hong Kong (which modified /system/etc/gps.conf, there is now only 1 NTP_SERVER pointing to hk.pool.ntp.org).

Ran YGPS in engineering mode, full restart in INFORMATION, GPT TEST with time=30 and interval=1 and the TTFF is around 250ms in an open area

Started GPS Test App and got first fix in 10 seconds

Started Google Maps, OMG I finally know where I'm

Ran GPS Test App again but in the office, a lot of satellites in view within seconds and got fix in 3x seconds

Just tried on a double decked bus, it takes around 20s for the first fix

Just found another problem.

I enabled WiFi (WPA2-PSK-AES with DHCP) and GPS with Google's location service, then start Google Maps, the WiFi connection immediately dropped but is still on. I then tried to manually reconnect to my AP but the phone does not show any sign of connecting. The only way to reconnect the WiFi is switch it off and on again.

Then I changed the WiFi setting to static IP instead of DHCP, the problem goes away.

*** update ***

Before I encounter the above problem, I had similar occasional WiFi drop at home even I was not using GPS and I thought it was the problem of my router. But today I was using WiFi in office with WPA2 (not PSK) and the connection drop suddenly. And it happened again soon when I reconnected manually.

Does anyone got the same problem?

*** update 2 ***

Just to make it clear, the WiFi signal is full every time there is connection drop.

@bm; yuweng;

About the V970 (in light of its portability to A789): Does it have the choice where you can use 3G on either SIM1 or SIM2? Also, I believe the A789 has a camera button, does that still work when the V970 ROM is loaded?

Also, slightly related: you never did do a ZP300 build, did you Bruno?

I may retry the ZP300 to A750 port.
