Hey Bruno, I don't know if you or the other fellow ROM users here have experienced this bug, something which didn't happen on ICS:

I have replaced the modem.img from the ROM with Venezuela's as I'm from there, however, there's a problem with data connection: Sometimes Facebook or other apps, even though the status bar shows 3G and H, hang for a loooooong time while receiving data, and sometimes they just hang and don't receive anything, I have to switch on and off Data Connection or Airplane Mode so the issue is fixed - for a little while.

I went ahead and pinged www.google.com for some time after re-enabling data connection and I noticed that response times were around < 300ms before a minute or two and then response times were as high as 2000 ms and such. Any ideas here? I've also replaced the whole /system/etc/firmware folder with Venezuela's to see if it fixes anything but it didn't - even though the ROM works, lol.

Re: [ROM][02-03-2013] ZTE V970 (MT6577) custom ROMs (ICS / JB)

Can someone post the complete directions from step 1 to mount an external SD card as an internal storage?

Where is the script that does that? Bruno you said that it is obsolete to do the procedure with the zip provided on post 4. I have already installed the latest ROM but what are the next steps

Does anybody know which application is embedded for the call recording? It's awesome!

I also want to report that I get maximum 1 day with mixed use very few calls and lots of Wi-Fi usage (on places that HAVE signal) how long does your battery last?

I've been using JB 1.1R2 MOD and I'm really happy with it! Great job! The only "bad" thing is the already reported issue with the keyboard getting over the SMSs. It would also be nice to add a custom mms.apk with some more options, like strip down special characters (çãáéíõ etc) to save some space and avoid automatic SMS to MMS conversion. There are these great mods in this thread but I don't know if they can be used on JB: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1667615

Also I think the sound is a bit lower than ICS version.
[ZTE Grand X V970] JOSEunit10:
just reporting...

I'm suffering a lot reboots, the phone just hangs and reboots, whatever i do.

Also install bubbleUPnP and the phone starts rebooting like crazy.

[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:

[ZTE Grand X V970] Cool-J:
Bruno I was wondering if V970 is still your primary phone (which other phones do you own and use?)

Also I would like to share my problem with the default messaging app. I cannot see which SIM was used to receive the message.

As you can see from the screen capture it is not visible and you cannot tell which SIM received the sms.

I used the GOSMS Application and this problem is solved. Like seen on the screenshot (you can see number 1 for SIM1 and number 2 for SIM2)

So except from the extra resources that the GOSMS uses you cannot see the number of unread messages notification number on the top of the icon like in the stock app.

Just updated to JB V1.1R2MOD . Thank you for this :)

The only thing that doesnt work is syncing the Google account with the gallery, so that also my Picasa webalbum shows up in there.

But thank you , also donated this afternoon :D
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Sure, I'll do that later. I will install Ingress on V970 and also on my MT6583 tablet which has recently received a JB update... Then I'll let you know if I also got those graphic glitches.

I'm using ZTE V970 as primary phone since JB Indonesian ROM was leaked. After that, I stopped using Huawei U8836D and sold it last week.

Although I find it strange, that is the normal messaging app behaviour. I guess that ZTE didn't care too much about that and I can't do nothing about that.

Thanks for your donation! :good:

If you want to enable Google Photos (Picasa) sync you should install the new Camera/Gallery app. Stock application doesn't allow Picasa sync.
[ZTE Grand X V970] tlac:
Interesting. I downgraded again to ICS. Too much annoying bugs.

Don't you experience graphics slowness?

Animations are slow. Rotation is slow. Screen switching is slow.

I see the same with stock launcher and apex launcher as well.

I get these in logs:

HWComposer dequeueBuffer: wake up to find available buffer

HWComposer dequeueBuffer: cannot find available buffer, wait...
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Graphics slowness? I fell the phone much snappier now running JB than when it was running ICS. For me it's simply perfect and I'm really enjoying.
[ZTE Grand X V970] johndebur:
thank you it worked :)

so did Google mess up the gallery app in jellybean? :p
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
No, it's just that stock Gallery doesn't have Picasa sync enabled.
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
no such thing either. purchased the phone, straight install JB 1.1 r2. no such problem. it is just perfect. what else can you ask for?{ except for that messaging part} :victory:
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Graphic slowness seems to be related to not installing GApps, I had it happen before, then I made another test with the GApps installed and the phone flew by. It seems to be related to GmsCore.apk or something :P

3G SIM must be in SLOT 1
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Wrong... it can be inserted in any slot, but only one will be able to establish a 3G data connection. Not all MT6577 phones allow that, but our V970 does. :victory: For that, go to Settings / Wireless & Networks / Mobile networks / 3G service / Enable 3G and then choose which SIM will establish that connection.
[ZTE Grand X V970] mmichal2:
Not for me. I'm using Aero2 network (only UMTS 900 band) and data connection is ONLY available when Aero2 card is in SLOT 1.

Flashing from stock recovery

Hi Bruno, guys!

First of all - great job, you are the best!

Yesterday I received the phone and when I tried to flash costum recovery via SP flash tool, I got stuck (because of MediaTek drivers - I don't know, looks like it didn't install properly on Win8). So I tried to flash your latest ROM directly from stock recovery and it worked fine, no problems whatsoever - so far.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know and congratulate you for your great work!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Thanks for your feedback. If installing the ROM worked without flashing the recovery that I have shared, it just means that your phone already had a CWM based recovery. Stock recovery wouldn't allow you to install an unsigned .zip.

ICS vs. JB

HI, so I have tested new build for more than one week and I decided ICS is much better.

1. GPS is working very bad on JB (it is almost unusable) - deviation about 50m

2. Camera is worse than ZTE Blade with 3,2Mpix., but video recording is much better on JB ;)

3. Battery draining. In normal use phone is down in 2 days on JB instead of 3 days on JB

4. v3.1 is smoother for me, JB has lags sometimes (after call end and during reading sms) - it can be only my opinion.

However JB is ready for daily use and many thanks to Bruno for this build. :good:
[ZTE Grand X V970] Miaghy23:
Hy guys! Thanks for helping! I'm not new on XDA! I used a lot off ROM's with LG Optimus One and 2X,but I needed a dual-sim so I bought V970.

In slot 1 WCDMA/GSM is sim Vodafone and in slot 2 GSM is sim Cosmote.

My 3G INTERNET from Vodafone worked fine with stock ROM and all versions of ICS by Bruno! After installing JB something happened and kaboom---my sim Vodafone has 3G enabled,but no internet(H letter) with any APN.All the APN are verified(user/pass/port/all).My 2G(E letter) internet from sim Cosmote works fine,but obviously slow.I also enabled 2G for Vodafone and no internet and 3G for Cosmote,internet works fine.

First I replaced modem.img from 3.1 ICS as I read in other posts and nothing happened.I came back to 3.1 ICS with full wipe(data,cache,dalvik,system) and no Vodafone 3G INTERNET! I tried all ICS and nothing. I sp flashed stock rom and nothing. I copyed the modem.img from stock to any ICS and JB and still nothing.I also copyed firmware folder from stock to rest and nothing!After all steps I rebooted phone.

Now I use 3.1 ICS.

Today I changed sims.So I inserted sim Cosmote in slot 1 W/G and my 3G INTERNET works fine and sim Vodafone in slot 2 GSM and still no internet for Vodafone.I also did this: enabled 3G for slot 2 Vodafone and no internet and 2G for slot 1 Cosmote and Internet worked.

Conclusion:my Vodafone INTERNET does not connect with 2G or 3G,using slot 1 and slot 2.Bruno is right: you can enable 3G for both slots.

APN are good,Bill is payed.:laugh:What cand I do? Thanks!

I'm really upset cause after flashing ROM after ROM after ROM with full wipe the problem persists.I must flash again the baseband? I must insert adb commands or lines in build.prop?

EDIT: I installed Lewa JB and ICS versions and still no Vodafone internet!
[ZTE Grand X V970] mmichal2:
In Mobileuncle you can check bands (engineer mode -> MTK -> BandMode). Maybe some UMTS mode is missing in JB firmware, compare bands to ICS rom.

Maybe someone can list bands on ICS and post it here so you can compare to your JB rom.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Miaghy23:
I will install both ICS 3.1 and JB 1.1 and make screenshots.Thx for replay!

fixed graphical slowness issue

Hey,

I fixed this issue. Now the JB is really smooth like ICS. The HWComposer errors are also disappeared.

(I found a newer hwcomposer lib in this THL JB rom.)

I created a CWM zip file to easy update the file. This is ONLY for JB.

I did not find any side effects.

Other tips to improve the user interface speed:

-stock launcher is still slow, use other, my current favorite is the Apex launcher

-go to Settings / Developer options / Transition animation scale: set to 0.5x

It increases the speed of screen rotation and other animations. You will get the same speed as on ICS.

Any comments are welcomed.

Thanks.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Where have you bought it from? ZTE Venezuela released this phone as V970M, with the exact same specs as V970 released by ZTE China. Although, December last year, ZTE Indonesia has released a new version of the phone, named V970M, with only 512 MB of RAM (instead of 1 GB) and already with Android 4.1.

MTK 6577 is the wrong naming for MT6577, which is a SoC from MediaTek (MTK). More info here. ;)

I think the problem was with my provider and my phone too.

I changed the APN and I activated Roaming into another Samsung Android phone with 2.3 GB and kaboom-my Internet worked.

In first place that APN didn't WORKED in my phone(even with Roaming or not),but I inserted my Vodafone sim into another Android phone and worked.It was like a switch for my sim.Now it works without Roaming using JB 1.1.

therefore I cannot install CWM or this rom....my last handset ended up bricked but this is a brand new one and i would love to get this done

on a side note would the update found here http://www.zte.com.cn/cn/products/mobile/detail/201208/t20120827_336375.html be better than the rom thats allready on the phone should i keep failing at getting your rom on it

In my experience with BaseMark ES 2.0 Taiji Free, it dropped my FPS from 7.9 to 6.2, the difference was noticeable, so I dunno how can this hwcomposer file help. I assume though, that we can use other hwcomposer.so files from other MT6755-based phones if we look around a lot.

Re: [ROM][02-03-2013] ZTE V970 (MT6577) custom ROMs (ICS / JB)

How can I restore it back? I think my phone is slower now with this fix. I also do not agree with the usage of launchers because of the memory usage. Also Apex launcher does not offer anything special than the default launcher. Go launcher is very nice but it is memory & energy consuming and this phone does not have a good battery so the more apps the less battery we'll get
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
ADB Push the hwcomposer.mt6577.so file from Bruno's ROM back into its original place /system/lib/hw. I can't believe some people here randomly flash any zip file given to them without even looking at its contents or even worse how to restore the changes the zip made.

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Which OS are you using? Installing the drivers is the most easy part, what's the problem? Have you tried following the tutorial and went to the part where the phone has to be connected to the computer? At that time, a new device will be detected and drivers will be installed.

The link you posted is the official support link to download the latest stock update.zip from ZTE, but that should be the ROM you have installed right now which contains lots of Chinese bloatware.

I haven't even bothered to try that HWComposer lib because for me JB doesn't have any lag... at all!

Adding a language into a ROM is much more than just translating framework-res strings. I wish it was as simple as that.

So that you know, I have added translated strings into each system app (excluding Google apps because those already include multi-lang support), so doing it from the scratch it would mean translating strings on over 40 .xml files.

Hi again. I restarted from the very first point: format data/cache, install ROM 2.1, extended user patch. Everything ran OK, except the apps I mentioned before: running apps and others like Copilot.

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Not sure if it is completely related to GPS because I can run NDrive without any problems. I will check Copilot or any of the ones you mentioned.

I didn't use the running apps vith version 1 of your ROMs, but I could install and use Copilot (at least once), and I remember it worked fine.

I'll reinstall version 1 this afternoon when I get back home.

And just one more thing: there is no need to install a full GPS app, just a lighter and free app like Endomondo or Runtastic would be enough to see if they work

If you find any ROM from a MT6577 based device with languages that I haven't added please let me know, but keep in mind that Etotalk ROMs are not fully translated, although it may seem to support every language. That is because of what I have explained before: I have added the translated string on all system apps.
