Is there any info regarding what has been distributed to Android partners?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
I haven't had time to follow recent developments. Hopefully others will be able to put forwards some information about this.

So far, if anyone is concerned about security, the safest option would be to downgrade to any other version, because the issue only affects JB 4.1.1

touch problem

sir its very kind of you to share your work with us

im running your latest work with your fixes..

i just notice a slow and sometimes unresponsiveness of the touch screen

is there any work around sir?

thank you again sir
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
Sir, hold the home icon for about two seconds then click the top right icon (swipe all away). And enjoy a faster response time, sir :good:

Remember, this is no high end specification smartphone, keep closing down the apps (fully closing them by holding down the home button) when you finished with them and you will improve performance AND battery life. Sir. :cowboy:
[ZTE Grand X V970] bloodyrose:
touch problem

Sir thanks for response but i do know how to close unused apps, im using now the last ICS version of sir bruno,

the difference is very obvious, i think there is a version of V90M(mtk based) that is not compatible with jellybean releases, we bougth it here on the philippines,

in jellybean even using the dialer lags also on the lockscreen and homescreen, others is OK, it seems that something is wrong with the touch response on those parts
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Hi

Yes your totally right, the issue is the Philippines v970 version only came with 512mb ram instead of 1Gb, some Philippines users had mentioned that.

So your options are:

A) keep using the old ICS version (requires less ram)

B) Or ... you could also try again this JB Rom (Bruno's JB 4.1 ROM is very good), BUT this time in addition, flash the new 3.4.5 kernel I made ;)

Regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] bloodyrose:
Thank you sir for your response..btw im amazed at your work to our beloved V90M..i will try to test all of those especially MIUI

..congratulations and thank you again sir
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
Hi bgcngm,

This cwm and the extended data partition only work on v970?

They don't work on wiki darkmoon?

Thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
CWM recovery is device specific as it includes the kernel. Userdata partition modification can maybe shared with other MT6577 based devices, but at user own risk. ;)

Thanks bgcngm

Any way that you could improve the eGL on your 4.1.1 rom? it crashes on other games with graphics glitches like "Clash of clans".

I installed 4.1 1.3MOD and Sd card is not detected but in the CWM is detected, what is the solution?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
No solution, I'm afraid. That problem has been reported by several users and is due to some hardware differences. However, you could try to flash latest V970 kernel compiled by [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION], to check if it solves.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Makarboy:
Where are these kernels?

Ok installed the last kernel for 4.1 from superdragon

KERNEL_JB4.1_ZTE_v970._v1.4.zip

MD5: db64b578212876046c1ebecd017a0f64	2014-06-21 14:02	0 / 0	3.84MB

and SD Card is detected. Thanks bgcngm and thanks superdragonpt.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Makarboy:
Everything is ok. Delete this
[ZTE Grand X V970] longo213:
No, we should not, this is actually a very important information - I remember having a late night conversation with bgcngm about why the external SD card isn't visible with Jelly Bean on my phone (and we tried everything). You tested and confirmed that with with superdragonpt's [KERNEL][3.4.11] ZTE v970 / v970m the issue is resolved. This is important and thank you for it.
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Hi

Just like @bgcngm said, this is due to some hardware changes made by ZTE in some units/ markets (countries).

Besides the 512MB RAM version, sold in some countries, the "normal" 1GB RAM version, also have some different hardware revisions.

It's rather normal for OEM's to change device hardware (e.g.: diff camera sensors / touchscreen).

The downside is that, when using an specific Rom / kernel / whatever, it won't be 100% compatible with all Revisions.

Regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] longo213:
Hi. This is something what happened in April last year when I tried to install V1.1 of [MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION]'s mod and he was very helpful. After a while we figured out that I must have a different hardware revision and similar issues of other users confirmed this theory. FF to present day, I'm a happy camper using your A.O.S.P. JB 4.1.2 (will update later today to 1.4 kernel).

What I was writing about to [MENTION=2677475]Makarboy[/MENTION] was that his confirmation of your kernel fixing this old issue is important and valuable to other users.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:

LoudSpreaker Mode default settings

Hi... can anyone check what are the default values for LoudSpeaker Mode in MTK Engineering Mode/Hardware Testing/Audio? I was playing with Max Volume but accidentally changed Value as well, so I would like to revert it. Just want to play safe for my speaker :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
hi

For max value, you can set an MAX of 160.

in my case, i always set an max of 145 ( its The perfect value for me)

regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] longo213:
Thanks, that's more or less what I set for MaxVol in Loudspeaker menu, but what is the default value of Value is 0-255[] in top of Max.Vol? I accidentally changed this one (as the Max.Vol was covered by keyboard) and I'd like to change it back. Also, can you check what are the values in Headset and Normal menu for me? Recently, the voice commands for my Parrot system in my car started to sound a bit garbled, I'm wondering if one of my experiments could cause that. Unfortunately, there's is no "Reset to defaults" option.
[ZTE Grand X V970] S.HiDDEN:

[ZTE Grand X V970] Pitbull_Raven:
My dad has a TMN smart a18 which is a rebranded ZTE Grand v970 if not mistaken. Was having a ton of issues. Found this rom and installed it after much strugle with drivers, CWM and etc... ROM is now installed with all default settings. Problem is I am running out of space and can't install apps. This on a standard install after updating Google Play Services and installed apps like Gmail and G+, etc... This made me wonder if the ROM has any sort of S2E or A2SD+ or whatnot, and if so, how to activate it. So far from this thread I gather I have to edit the partitions. Could someone please point me to the right direction. Having trouble finding the right post in the 200+ pages of this thread.
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Hi

You can extended your userdata partition to 2.5GB (merge both internal SDcard+userdata)

Everything is very well explained in first post

[ZTE Grand X V970] faboaic:
Hi all,

the 1.4 kernel is not available anymore.

Can anyone provide it and upload somewhere?

Superdragonpt does not answer.

I downloaded and installed some roms a few days ago and since 1 vor 2 days all roms and kernels from superdragonpt are gone.

Pretty bad timing as i now have the sd-card issue.

These is no information regarding the reason why all from superdragonpt is missing.

Just all edited lately and number 414 instead of the Text...

What is the matter?

Please do not leave us standing out in the rain.

Best regards and thanks,

bricked my zte v970

Hi guys, anybody still here?

After getting a new phone I wanted to reflash my old ZTE v970 and foolishly tried to do a factory reset on this custom rom and as I should know, it didn't work. So I tried to flash it with SP Flash tool via USB and my computer. I thought it had worked, but then I tried to turn on my phone and it won't even turn on. Nothing.

Oh, and another thing!

My computer does recognize my phone as it should (mediatek usb port...) and when i download recovery to it, it does that correctly, but when i try to turn it on,theres nothing!

Any ideas? Is it finished forever? Or is it repareable? If not by me, then by zte service?

Thanks for your ideas
[ZTE Grand X V970] longo213:
Go back to stock ROM as mentioned in post #3.

Than you can start over to try customized roms.
[ZTE Grand X V970] dot.cis:
Thanks Zilina, my bad for not checking that to begin with...

Tried it, had a few problems, and at the end it worked!!!

Thanks, you really helped me!
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Will upload the few backup files i still have around.

Kernel builds i have the latest versions on my mobile sd card.

It wasn't me who deleted all the downloads and OP's.

Why would i throw an year and half of work away?

Kernel thread is re-opened, still WIP.

I'm full of work at the moment with anoher project for this device

( my old zte, doesn't want to die ;) )

/off topic.

Dont forget to check the latest Gravity Box updates, Bruno is doing an great job ;)

[ZTE Grand X V970] Makarboy:
stupid question, if a do a factory reset, do I have to flash patchs again?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
What "patches"? The ROMs include system files, which are untouched when a factory reset is made. It only clears all userdata and cache partitions.
[ZTE Grand X V970] distagon:
I hope someone will be able to help me. I've just lost all my data (and my last full backup is half a year old... yeah I know).

After doing a wipe cache and wipe dalvik (got bored I guess and fiddled with the CWM) the phone got stuck at "ZTE" logo. I went back to recovery, made a full backup just in case, then wiped data. Phone started OK.

Now I tried to restore the backup - the logs of the error I got are in the attached pic.

The phone went back to not starting until I reflashed the ROM through .zip from SD card.

If it's important, I had the SD-merge mod done.

Thanks in advance!

Can someone help me how to falsh boot.img of V1.3mod? I have stock rom and the cpu dont scale well...I supose ir a kernel problem...
[ZTE Grand X V970] ourico4:
I change already the boot.img but It broke the usb mount of sdcard in pc. Any sugestion?
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Hi

From what i recall, some users had problems with the Stock Kernel (regarding USB mount), you can try my unofficial Kernel here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2698984

As it seems to fix that issue, the problem is, that, there's several hardware revisions of this model ....

Cheers
[ZTE Grand X V970] ourico4:
Thanks, but I'm using stock ICS I think that kernel is only for JB. I used the modified boot.img and it was ok in the part of cpu throttling. But it's strange cause it broke the usb mount. I don't understand why. I I send you the boot.img can u activate cpu throttling without breaking the usb mount or is difficult? Maybe u can give me some lights how to do it myself. I know I have unpack/repack the boot.img but the rest is a little difficult for me.

Best regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Hi

No, i can't support ICS builds, since it's too old, and i can't work on ICS Kernel ...

Since ZTE never published the proper kernel sourcecode, my JB kernel, was made from scratch ....

Why don't you try the bgcngm JB 4.1 Rom builds?

I had that rom for +- 1 year, and never Had any issue ....

Cheers
[ZTE Grand X V970] ourico4:
Ok, I understand. I wanted to try the Kitkat rom but I have the problem I explained trough pm.

I wanted to try the last JB 4.1 from bruno plus your kernel 1.4 but the download host for the rom appears to have malware.

Do you have a clean zip from the rom u could upload?

Best regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Hi

Better ask Bruno for download links ... it's his work.

Also, i don't have any issues downloading from dev-host ... yes there's several pubs, but the download link looks fine (use the "blue" "download" button)

cheers
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
The download links are working and dev-host is totally safe. Files are verified by an AV and do not contain any malware. Be sure to click on the proper download link.

Still a nice day-to-day handset, probably need a new battery though, when I turn data on it depletes very fast.

Still an nice backup phone for daily use

[ZTE Grand X V970] ourico4:
Hello

I'm sorry to bring up the subject again but the links are not working (blue button) and is distributing fake downloads and malware. It's not bruno's fault but the devehost people.

as proof I took a pic. I'm not saying to have the reason but to express the need I really want the rom zip but I cant get, sadly :/

Best regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] lingfude:
Maybe it's a false positive detected by your antivirus.

Anyone know how to hide the big "G" and NemSim1??
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:

[ZTE Grand X V970] ourico4:

Hello!

I need some help - about where can i find a solution for bricked ZTE V970 ?

I never touch the phone, now when i turning on few minutes later restart.

I try to go in the recovery ( Vol UP ) - still normally turning on.

ICS 4.0 - original - never rooted.

If a can get other solution upgrade to kit-kat is better for me.

Thanks a lot!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
If you can get into recovery, then you can try to do a factory reset. Must be something you installed that is causing a bootloop.
[ZTE Grand X V970] csaszykj:
I cant get into recovery, this is my main problem.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Then I would advise you to flash the full stock ROM as per Q&A (post #3). Then you can try to flash a custom recovery and even flash a custom ROM.
[ZTE Grand X V970] csaszykj:
Thanks a lot!

Difficult the flashing method ? Need a skill ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
It is easy, just read the tutorial. It includes step-by-step guide with pictures. ;)
