I can't for the life of me create a volume wake mod with android.policy.jar for the JB rom. The odex file makes me unable to figure this out, deodexing and odexing is just out of my league lol. Can someone point me to a working volume wake mod? All my previous android phones at some point had the power button broken, I'm trying to prevent this on my new v970. Ideas?
[ZTE Grand X V970] thementalist:
Hi, Bruno.

I'm italian too, i put your mod in my V970, everithing is ok but my 3G Sim is rcognized as "3 ITA" and not as "BIP" why?

In the original firmware i see it as "BIP".

Just a curiosity
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Nevermind my previous post, I finally made the volume wake mod. The method was simple, deodexed the whole rom using dsixda's kitchen, then modded the deodexed android.policy.jar. It's working now.

EDIT: no dice, after all. The system boots and all, but google apps force close all the time. Damn! Anyone got a way to wake with volume keys without disabling lockscreen? I'm afraid my power button will be gone like the other three android phones I had in the past...

Email service stopped because due to low storage

Hi

I've got problem with stock email app.

When I added an email account I had info on screen:

"Email service stopped because due to low storage"

email does not working.

JB 4.1.1

BM v1.1R2MOD

any ideas? please help.

and once more - I've got internal memory re-partition, but the memory for system is only 500 MB, and after instal mod there is only about 36 MB free. Is it possible to increase free space for system? (If I want integrate all updates to system for example)

sorry for my english, I'm ussaly not to use english :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] Wolfillete:
Anybody?? Please answer :(
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Isn't it enabled as default when general audio profile is selected? I think so, please check if you haven't disabled it. :cool:
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Bgcngm, any chance of a working volume wake mod for the latest jb rom? Also, sound is lower than stock tmn, by a lot :( I have a friend on that rom and playing the same songs, his phone is much louder... Btw, the JB rom is smooth as hell compared to tmn, that's why I refuse to go back :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Seems that we are stuck at 4.1.1. Zte won't release new versions. And worst 4.1.1 is not even official. For my tmn a18 the official version is ICS. That's why Google phones are preferable.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
It's not all doom and gloom. V970 is selling pretty well in indonesia so they could come up with more updates but you just can't predict it.

I would guess we are going to be left with 4.1.1 now but a few months back a few members was saying we would never get JB but they got that wrong!

But I would guess pushing out a JB update made more sense to them as it would really help to sell phones but a minor update to 4.1.2 is not really going to shift anymore units so thats why I would think this is the last update for our ZTE V970.
[ZTE Grand X V970] iCantRememberMyUsername:
I have the same issue too with the BM v1.1R2MOD ROM. I managed to make it work by replacing the email app with the one from [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION]'s excellent MIUI ROM (attached here for convenience, original ROM thread is at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2305905). I had to also delete Exchange2.apk and Exchange2.apk.odex from Bruno's ROM as it kept FC with this version of Email.apk. If you don't need Exchange, this will probably work for you.
[ZTE Grand X V970] longo213:

have you solved your touch screen problem??and hoe to fix that?cos i have that problem to..
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Yeah, and also we cant port 4.2 ,,,, Our "dear" ZTE still persists in the Closed Source ...

So no way to even compile. an fully working 4.2 Rom
[ZTE Grand X V970] thehijacker:
Got this phone yesterday. Works great with 4.1.1 ROM from Bruno. Hats off.

Couple of small questions for now.

1. I owned a Galaxy S before which had a Home key. Same key also unlocked the phone. With this phone only Power button seems to do that. Can I map volume up/down keys to do the same?

2. The 4 keys doesn't give any vibra respond on press. Also they are not always backlit. So in dark it is hard for me to properly hit the back button. Is there a way to enable vibration and backlight on when screen is also on?

3. Both my SIM have same IMEI. Is that correct?

4. How to disable notification LED?

Thank you.
[ZTE Grand X V970] wtel:
For backlight, I use Tasker with the shell script below.

#!/bin/bash

ON=255
OFF=0
BACKLIGHT=/sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

if [ -f $BACKLIGHT ]
then
if [ `cat $BACKLIGHT` -eq $ON ]
then
chmod 664 $BACKLIGHT
echo $OFF > $BACKLIGHT
chmod 444 $BACKLIGHT
else
chmod 664 $BACKLIGHT
echo $ON > $BACKLIGHT
chmod 444 $BACKLIGHT
fi
fi

Every time you execute the script, the button backlight is toggled.

I assume you have put the script to /sdcard/script/toggle_button_backlight.sh

In Tasker, create a a new Task

Add an action Script > Run Shell

In Command, input

bash /sdcard/script/toggle_button_backlight.sh

Check the Use Root option

Create a new Profile, with Event > Display On

Add the task we have just created to this profile

Create another Profile with Event > Display Off

Add the same task to this profile

Notification LEDs can be controlled by:

/sys/class/leds/green/brightness
/sys/class/leds/red/brightness

You can create a Tasker Profile with Device Boot event that execute a shell script to write 0 to the 2 files and apply chmod 444 to them.
[ZTE Grand X V970] thehijacker:
Amazing solution! By Tasker you mean this software?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=sl

Please confirm and I will surely try it. Thank you very much.

Any comment about the same IMEI and/or the non vibrating key presses and/or waking the phone up with volume keys?
[ZTE Grand X V970] wtel:
Yes, it's the app. The IMEIs are same for mine, not sure if it's normal. Don't know about the hardware key feedback. There seemed to be another member trying to make volume key to wake device in somewhere previous posts, not sure if it was successful.
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
I was trying to make the volume wake mod, and it works as long as the phone is not in deep sleep. But I had to de odex the whole rom and it only works at times, so I don't think it's worth it... It's a kernel issue I think.
[ZTE Grand X V970] optybg:
I am with stock ROM now, can I flash JB 4.1.1 - V1.1R2MOD through Bruno's custom CWM, I'm confused because the file is .7z ???

And If I put 8gb memory card before installation of the new ROM, internal memory will it be deactivated automatically?

Sorry for the dumb questions, but I am new and always mess up something...:eek:

PS. After download the .7z file and after unziped it, I faund the .zip file, but what about the 2nd question?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
The .7z file have to be extracted and you'll find a .zip. If you want to extend userdata partition you have to apply the mod prior to the installation of the custom ROM.
[ZTE Grand X V970] optybg:
I just flash the ROM and now i have 2gb Phone storage AND 8gb SD card storage can I use my phone like that???
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Wasn't that what you wanted? :what:
[ZTE Grand X V970] YAHAHANUVOELEGANLC:

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Read post #4.
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Please, a volume wake mod for the JB rom? Or, better yet, a slide to wake mod... My power button is getting pounded on this phone, and there's no truly working volume wake mod for our phone in any rom, because trying the usual android.policy.jar mod stops working in deep sleep..
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
Can't you just add android.policy.jar to whitlist
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
To whitelist? Which whitelist? I don't get what you are trying to say, sorry :(
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
the deepsleep whitelist
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
That could be a solution, but how does one do that?
[ZTE Grand X V970] kinta44:
Hi

Thank you for your solution - it works.

Sometimes app freeze, and sometimes turns off, but generaly works.

Thank you very much.

BTW

It is possible to replace stock Phone.app to another, from CM for expample with t9?

it will be work?
[ZTE Grand X V970] wtel:
Most likely no, v970 is dual SIM and thus the Phone.apk is different from usual ones. If you want T9, consider dialer apps from play store.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Just wanted to let you all know that I'm going to release an update probably today or tomorrow, at most. It is basically a maintenance release, with lots of updated Google and third-party apps, but also includes the fix for E-mail app. :cool:

Is there any version of Skype that works on Bruno's latest ROM? I tried the latest official version form Google Play and modified from "theos0o" and both have the same error. I can hear, but no one can hear me. Microphone does not work.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
The latest known working version was Skype v2.9.0.315 mod v17.
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
so, there is no need for 1.1r2 users to update to latest firmware then? :) except for the email app thing.

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
There is no need, but there are advantages... Due to the fact that many (many, really) Google apps have been updated since the last release, if you install the new ROM you'll save a considerable amount of space on the userdata partition because the apps will be moved to system partition. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] kinta44:
Thank you, I tried some apps, and none of this works and looks like this from CM.

[ZTE Grand X V970] thehijacker:
Thanks for the update. Will try it this afternoon. I hope the calendar is fixed. I was getting always FC when I tried to add new event.
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Hi,

I'm getting calendar FCS when adding events. Cleared data, storage, playing with accounts synced... Nothing. Even wype dalvik & fix permissions don't solved. Any ideas?

Calendar from Google & exchange
[ZTE Grand X V970] thehijacker:
So this is not yet fixed?
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Dont know. For example I'm using last version and works. Glad I had a backup. But from several times I installed last version not always calendar worked. Its kind of a weird thing
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I can't seem to be able to replicate your problem, at least with system language set to English. I had to clear data for Calendar and Calendar Storage in order to sync correctly, but then I was able to add new events. Tried two times, adding events in different days.

You've selected advanced installation (on AROMA installer) and chosen Google Calendar, right? Are you using the phone set to pt-PT locale?
[ZTE Grand X V970] thehijacker:
can't remember if I selected calendar in Aroma. But I tried just now to change language from Slovenian to English and I got same FC. I also cleared calendar and calendar storage cache but again get FC.

I will try the new version today (4.1.1) and see if it works with it.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
When using AROMA installer, choose advanced installation. This will give you more options about what to install or not and make sure you select Google Calendar instead of stock Calendar.
[ZTE Grand X V970] thehijacker:
Yes. That must have been the problem. I might have selected stock Calendar. Using ES File Explorer I uninstalled system Calendar APK and installed Google Calendar from Market.

With that one I can add new event. Not yet sure if they are syncing. Will test later in afternoon.

To flash new version do we need to set everything to factory and can only upgrade be made?

Thank you.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
You can upgrade, without clearing userdata. Just deselect "wipe userdata" option when you run the installer. ;)

If you experience any calendar sync problem, keep in mind that the solution is to clear data for Calendar and Calendar Storage, both apps. Then sync will work.
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Hello,

no everything is in English. Eng-Uk. It's kind of a weird thing.

Choosed default installation in Aroma.

Only thing is i have the extended partition mod.

I'll try to disable it and install the package again.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That's the reason then... If you choose default installation, stock Calendar app will be installed, not Google Calendar app.
[ZTE Grand X V970] thehijacker:
I didn't install the extended partition on my first installation and now I am running out of space for apps. Just got a brand new 8GB SD card in the mail so I will do the full ROM wipe and install the mod.

Is this the right prodecure?

1. Flash the MBR, EBR1 and RECOVERY using SP Flash tool

2. Boot into recovery mode and format /data

3. From recovery flash the new ROM using advanced installation and select google calendar

4. Reboot and enjoy the latest ROM with more space :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yes, that procedure is correct, but you can skip step 2 if you keep "wipe userdata" option selected on the installer.
[ZTE Grand X V970] thehijacker:
Thank you. Will do.

What kind of battery life are you getting on this phone? I have to charge it every two days on moderate usage. 2d 6h 20m and at 26% at the moment. I will have to charge it in afternoon before flashing new ROM.

Is 4.0.4 better battery wise? I guess 4.1.1 is faster due to project butter. But how about battery life?
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Oh well... reinstalled everything - before reading your post -, and choosed advanced mode.

Choosed default google calendar in order to use my exchange.

Configured everything... and now works :)

Quite confusing.... Seems sometimes works, sometimes don't. The other version was the same. Maybe something different in advanced mode?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
More or less the same when I was using V970. Honestly, I didn't notice too much difference in terms of battery life between ICS and JB.

Stock Calendar and Google Calendar is very similar, with the advantage that the latter is maintained by Google. Why have you installed the stock one? Are you sure you can't sync with exchange using Google Calendar?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
It is possible to increase system partition, the same way as I did for userdata partition, i.e. modifying partition layout. But I never did it for system partition and don't think it is worth.

Why do you say that you'll have no space if you merge all updated system apps? Don't forget that after installing the new custom ROM, the old system apps are not there. System partition is formatted and will be populated with newer apps.
[ZTE Grand X V970] kinta44:
yes, of course, - new release fixing problem, but now if I want to merge all system update, or made some apps as system apps (link2sd has that function) - I have no free space (only 40MB)

I'm sorry, this is not the problem, I only asked :) because I've got a tablet where I have 1 GB for system and about 500 MB free :)

i'ts only curiosity :D

Thanks a lot for a great, great job!

BTW

Tablet is on MTK 6575 and there are similar partition as ZTE:

- internal memory (1 GB)

- internal SD card (1,5 GB)

- external card reader

I was thinking about re-formating internal memory like you did in ZTE :)

It is possible?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Make a full backup of your A2107 and compare MBR and EBR partitions with stock ones from ZTE V970. If partition layout matches, you can try.
[ZTE Grand X V970] kinta44:
thank you very much.

But I'm not a developer, and I have no idea what did you tell me :)))

anyway, thanks for try.
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
bgcngm, please add a wake by volume keys mod. I did the android.policy.jar mod as per usual on other phones, but on ours, deep sleep makes it stop. I think this is something in the kernel, that when the phone is in deep sleep it completely disables volume keys. Can you change that behaviour?

On phones of, let's say, lower hardware quality standards, this mod is pretty important, because the power buton, after a while, will start to wear out (happened to my last 3 phones)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
If you already tried to apply that modification and the result was deep sleep issues, there's no reason for me to touch that.
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Isn't there something you could do, kernel wise? Is the kernel git on first post for our phone? I'll try to get on that...
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
It's generic kernel for MT6577 phones, gathered from ACER.
[ZTE Grand X V970] asffaf:
Only I have a problem with freezing the battery? Mayby my V970 can be broken?

Swypniete z ZTE V970
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I don't think you're the only one having that problem because I remember other users reporting it as well. However, it never happened to me during the time I used the phone. Don't know if it can be related to any 3rd party application that could be messing battery status.
[ZTE Grand X V970] thehijacker:
Is it possible to change the default lock screen wallpaper?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Sentrax123:

[ZTE Grand X V970] thehijacker:
Shame. I am used to CM on my old Samsung phone where I could have seperate wallpaper for lock screen. I liked to have my daughter pic on it. If I set it as general wallpaper I couldn't see here with all the widgets and icons on top.

Hello. Big thanks for V1.2MOD :good:

I have problem with JB Google Clock. When I chose alarm it say "Unfortunately, Clock has Stopped". Have anyone the same?

In AROMA I chose only Google Clock but after flashing a I have both ICS and JB. In ICS Clock alarm works OK.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That's strange, I will check that. There may be some error on updater-script and both clocks are installed, although I don't remember that happening when I tested. In the meanwhile, you can try to delete DeskClock.apk (and .odex) and clearing data for Clock. Alarms should work then.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Strzelon:
Thanks. That solution solve the alarm problem. Now I have one full working JB GoogleClock :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] Sentrax123:
Are you sure that you choose only new google clock? Because I did and I have only JB clock , no ICS clock installed. But yes, JB clock gives FC on start up and choosing alarm. I'm going to reflash whole rom anyway, so this time I'll chose ICS clock instead..:)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Both clocks can be selected, but then AROMA installer will throw a warning and only Google Clock will be installed.

I have double checked updater-script and everything is okay, don't know what happened. To solve the force close, clear data for Clock.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Strzelon:
Yes i flash it twice to check that. If you choose both clocks aroma will give you warning.

Is it possible to disable completely the internal sd card in this new version? Always get phone storage 50mb and sd card storage
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Do you mean on the latest custom ROM? How could that be? The internal sdcard is completely disabled if extended userdata partition is detected upon installation.
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Yes. Should be that way as it says in your posts. But I have phone storage of 50mb and a option to choose default write

I had a problem in past and used the China union ROM to get phone usable. Maybe the partitions had changed?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Have you only noticed that with the latest release? I mean, I'm sure you had it like that before, because nothing has been changed in respect to the sdcard mounting. I suggest you to reflash MBR and EBR1 and reinstall the ROM.
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Olá.

*Hi

On all Bruno's JB Roms, the internal storage (*script), works flawless.

So something strange is happening.

Did you for an chance, used one of the two Chinese tools ( *.apk ) to reparticioning the internal storage in the past?

I had alot of PM's regarding Internal storage not being disabled, or with some " left overs " of MB (just like in your case).

The solution was flashing the stock rom, via SpFlashTools, and then Flash the correct MOD files again.

(The two Chinese apps, don't work very good)

Good Luck
