More testing!!!!

If i add with fresh install of the rom an account of yahoo i get message that i have no space left on my device and other message that i have to remove read emails to get more memory ..

Maybe problem of jb rom and user extended mod ...

But in bruno 4.0.4 v3.1 mod works all ok .

Re: [ROM][02-03-2013] ZTE V970 / V970M (MT6577) custom ROMs (ICS / JB)

i never used any ICS 4.0.4 bruno's Rom....

you had applied the extended memory manually or automatic with the aroma installer?? because the first time that i installed JB R2, the installer dose not applied by it self, i had to do it flashing the memory-system.zip after aroma installer finished, without reboot the phone... so i had to install JB 2times, 1st time it dosn't applied the system memory by itself,

the 2nd time i applied the system memory manually after aroma installer finished, without reboot the phone, them everything works fine....

Hi,

I have problems with GPS. Rom is V1.1R2MOD (02-03-2013):

I'm using all the little helpers...EPO assistance and A-GPS but GPS still takes very long until I get a stable fix (tried google navigate, runkeeper and nDrive). If I have a fix it is not very stable. My Lenovo A650 did not have these problems under comparable conditions.

I also tried the GPS status APP but I did not improve...anyone having the same problems on JB?

Is it possible to clear/clean my almanac data in order to give GPS a fresh start? Is this problem related to JB?

Kind regards,

Floris
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
User scisorro reported that using GPS.conf from this thread changes GPS behavior significantly. It gets fix very quickly and see more satellites. I haven't tried myself because my V970 is currently acquiring fix within 5-30 seconds. :cool:

Hi ...

I have resinstall with the spflash tool the mod . All ok . But exchange email same problem . If i applied the .zip to remove internal sd-card i get errors .

Also aroma installer is able to detect my user partition .

So maybe i wait for next version of the rom or , How can i remove the mod with spflashtool ... ? I have to install original rom ?

Thanks for all
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
You can either flash the complete stock ROM or just the stock EBR1 file (found under original folder inside extended userdata mod package).
[ZTE Grand X V970] golvellius:
I have reinstall the rom original that you have in the link . After i have reinstalled cwm recovery , now i have 512mb soft partition and 2gb partition for sd-card .

NOW exchange works ok ...!!!

Thanks a lot ...

Any workable battery saver?

Hi all,

I have tried different Battery Saver (e.g. Easy Battery Saver, Juice defender etc). None of it work properply in JB 1.1r2 :crying:

Seems those apps are not able to control the Data connection 9not wifi), anyone using JB 1.1r2 are facing this problem?

I have tried clean install but it still fail, but there is no such problem in ICS 3.1...

Hi ...

After 1 day using this supperb JB 1.1R2 rom . I am very happy with it . Only one small problem ...

I can not adjust the speaker level of one call ... If i totally remove with lateral keys down , volume is always the same .

Is this normal ?

Thanks Bruno for the rom .... ;)

i want a confirmation about the instalation

let's say i want to install V3.1MOD (27-12-2012) and i have the phone with me and 2gb class 6 memory card

so what is the best option for me ? disable internal storage or not ? (i think to leave it enabled and use the sdcard as data for music)

if this is possible the real sdcard will be something like sdcard 2? i will be able to access the music through stock music app right ?

1.install the CWM recovery from http://d-h.st/Vgt with repartitioning through SP flash tool (does the repartitioning disables the internal storage? if yes how can i leave it enabled)

btw V970 extended userdata mod.zip and V970 CWM Recovery V6.0.1.2.7z contains the same files right ? does that means it will disable internal storage

2.copy the custom rom to sdcard and install through recovery (first wipe data , cache , dalvik cache and battery stats?)

3,am i done here or it has more ? (like copying some modified vold.fstab which can be downloaded where ?)

so actually i don't know how to repartition it ? how much for the system and how much for the (internal)sdcard , what are the stock partitioning values

does this rom supports a2sd/app2sd/app to ext

p.s btw why not update ICS 3.1mod with latest Venezuela stock firmware which is dated (2013-03-15) ?

Print screen app in BM custom rom

Hi Bruno,

I was just wondering - if I am wrong, please, correct me - if there is an app integrated in your JB custom rom which makes a printscreen of the mobile phone's desktop.

I am not sure, maybe I am mistaken, but in your ICS custom rom, when I pressed a power button, I could make a print screen of the desktop of mobile phone.

If I am completely wrong, then please my apologies. In this case which app for print screen do you use?

Thank you.

Hello, my phone has just arrived and i am tried to install this rom. but i have a problem installing usb drivers....

when i install drivers (exe file) in windows 8, 64 bit, it says it installed fine, then i enable usb debbuging in android and in file manager it says its missing mt65xx drivers. when i try to update manually with the files i downloaded windows says the drivers arent suitable!

what can i do to install properly the drivers? Help please!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
The drivers you have installed are MTK USB DA VCOM drivers, needed by SP Flash Tool in order to flash the phone. Don't confuse it with Google ADB drivers, totally different thing. :D
[ZTE Grand X V970] fleyd:
yes i installed that drivers (MTK USB DA VCOM), i read your blog carefully and download everything from there but i must did something wrong because the drivers arent properly installed.

what did i do wrong?
[ZTE Grand X V970] netespl:
You must turn off checking if driver is signed. You can do this in advanced boot options.

@Bruno, small suggestion:

maybe You could add new feature to next release of JB rom? quick settings app:

and remove mtk quick settings from notification dropdown? (to be chosed during ROM installation in Aroma)

It is related to windows operating system then to ZTE V970 itself. You have to Disable Driver signature Enforcement.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM1MN8QZhnk
[ZTE Grand X V970] fleyd:
I tried this now and also doesnt worked. i never had any message about drivers compatibility but i tried anyway and didnt work.

i also tried everything from the begining with a netbook with windows 7 32 bit, its the same.

i install the exe file, windows says ok, then i enable debbuging in android, connect to pc and activate usb mode on. then i go to device manager and system recognize a mt65xx device (other devices menu) with bad drivers. i try to manually update (from win7 paste i download from brunos blog) them but windows keeps telling they arent good...

it must be something stupid i must be doing wrong but i cant figure it out!

Can anyone help me please???

Thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That is what you're doing wrong. As I said, the drivers you installed are for SP Flash Tool, not to use for ADB... Why are you enabling USB debugging mode? :rolleyes: You just need to follow my tutorial... proceed with the flashing using SPFT.

[ZTE Grand X V970] fleyd:
Ok, it´s done!

I only started enabling debugging because in windows i didnt get a similar image as in your blog so i thought i hadnt correctly installed the drivers...

But i started over and recovery is done! already made a nandroid backup and im installing the rom.

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I don't think so... at least, no one reported it. I have noticed lately that you can't completely mute sound using volume keys during a call. There's a minimum sound level and you can't go bellow. Other than that, volume up and down keys behave normally during the call.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Cool-J:
Ok I have downloaded the gps.conf and replaced the old one that was inside system/etc/ and tested it with GPS Test application.

There is no really significant difference just a better accuracy (around 50 feet; before I got 130 feet). Both files DO NOT LOCK on GPS unless you have A-GPS on. If you enable the A-GPS function you get a lock after 10-20 seconds; if not it just finds 5 satellites but the signal is very weak and unstable to get a lock on. This is a big problem if you are traveling abroad as you will be charged with roaming charges if AGPS is on.

The test I did was outdoor with perfect clear sky with no obstacle on the way.
[ZTE Grand X V970] mite_jan:
can you explain what did you do

what capacity card do you have

with what did you create the extended partition? Linux/gparted? was it ext3 or ext4 ?

did you made the whole card extended partition or some part of it

Hey bruno, one of my friend currently using your JB V.1.2 Rom and it seems that he cannot charge the phone when the phone is turned off, so he has to use external battery charger everytime the phone runs out of battery, so the battery could boot the phone and charge it in on condition ? do you know the solution of this :confused:

Battery life issues

I was away on vacation and didn't get to see if anyone resolved the issue that many people were having to do with battery life.

If no solution was found I may have a breakthrough that could help with a fix for the future.

I have been running an app call "Clean Master". One of it's features is to stop unnecessary processes. After using this feature I noticed my battery life increase by an incredible amount! By the end of the day of heavy use I still have roughly 50% life left.

I would guess that something is running in the latest version of JB that is causing a drain on the battery.

Also looking deeper into JB versions and in particular the difference between JB 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 the main reason for 4.1.2 is basically because of a power management issue for Nexus 7! So it is possible that this same issue is effecting the V970

I have also noticed there is indeed a JB 4.1.2 available for the V970 so I'm working on getting my hands on a copy of that after my previous success of getting a copy of JB I'm hopeful I will get it within the next few days and then hopefully these issues will be solved (if they haven't already been solved)

Please let me know if someone already has a copy of 4.1.2 because it is very time consuming. Thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] Fariqussalam:
nope, no problem at stock JB. the issue is on the V 1.2 JB ROM
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Did ZTE Indonesia released that Android 4.1.2 ROM? Where have you seen it? That is very interesting indeed and for sure many users will thank you again if you could get your hands into such backup. :fingers-crossed:

Isn't that your friend who had bricked the phone by flashing V970 preloader and DSP_BL into a V970M? I can't think of any reason for the problem you are mentioning. No core changes has been made to the ROM, which as you know is based on the Indonesian one... that is, totally compatible with V970M.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
What are you talking about? :rolleyes: Have you already received your phone? If not, you should have had plenty of time to read the most important posts of this thread. I told the other user to read post #3 and he sure did it and found the solution.

Why don't you read it carefully as well? Hope that is clear now... :mad:
[ZTE Grand X V970] mite_jan:
it super clear that you are disabling those 2gb that are used by the android system as "SDCARD"

but it is not clear for me bellow you say if you have "extended partition" the script will detect it automatically and disable those 2gb

so i get it like this

internal storage 2.5gb

sdcard storage goes on the external

i just don't know what kind of partition on the real sdcard it should be fat32 ? ext4 ?

p.s on my old HTC Desire i had to create ext4 partition for the internal storage and dalvik cache and apps so that's why i though
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That doesn't matters at all... When installing the extended userdata partition mod, the internal sdcard partition is deleted and userdata partition is extended to approximately 2,5GB. The script is only to detect if those partitions were modified and apply the correct changes to vold.fstab, so that the phone can mount the external sdcard correctly.

In sum, when you apply the mod, you don't have to care if partition is FAT32, Ext4 or whatever. That is because userdata partition will be re-formatted from recovery, not using any third-party partitioning tool. Just follow the instructions and everything will work fine.
[ZTE Grand X V970] mite_jan:
aha

so i should not touch the real sdcard and leave it formated by default fat32

this will be my new sdcard storage readed by android

i thought it is more complicated

i have never had this case with a phone or a tablet

still waiting for the phone
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That's correct, don't complicate! If something more was needed I would have mentioned. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] Fariqussalam:
Well as far as i know ZTE Indonesia haven't release any update on V970M yet,but who knows. regarding my friend phone, yes he did bricked it but he recover it again using the default V970M Indonesia preloader. well if that's the case, did reflash will solve the problem ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
I think I found JB 4.1.2

I'm still only a few months into learning the smartphone world so I may be misunderstanding something here but I saw this picture the other day

and noticed it's version 4.1.2 so I guess there is a ROM created out there ready to get to work on :p :good: ;) :highfive:

I think I may have it already :victory: if not then I am very close! I can't check these files right now so I will put them down here but please proceed with caution because I have NOT checked these files yet. Hopefully it's Android 4.1.2 for the V970 please let me know if it works or not if you decide to try it.

Yes, for the moment everyone should go back to V1.1MOD until I find a solution for the problems found on V2.xMOD ROMs. I hope it is a problem from my side and not a problem of the stock ROM from ZTE. Just give me some time because I will have to install the stock ROM and do some testing. :eek:

Hi all,

Having been using the V970 for a week, I found that when I switch on the bluetooth for connecting my bluetooth headset, the bluetooth power consumption can account for 15~17% of the total power consumption. I have been using a Samsumg i9000 and SE Neo V, I can tell the BT power consumption for the same usage is much lower in these two other phones, likes less than 5%. Just want to bring this out and see if anything can be done on the software side to optimize these bluetooth power consumption.

Hi,

First day with ZTE970. Very happy for the moment.

I confirm that bluetooth power consumption is huge compared to my HTC Sensation. Probably related to stock rom.

I'm coming directly from stock to 1.1 rom. I had also an issue with battery percentage, it stayed blocked on 64%. Problem solved with a reboot, percentage was in fact 34% :(. During this time, activities (gps, voice calls,...) were not recorded neither.

Hope that helps...

Hi,

I have a problem with phone numbers format in my Mercedes bluetooth car kit.

When I look a contact in the phone, the numbers are formated like this : +32470xxxxxx.

When I type the same number in the dialer, it's formated like this : +32 470 xx xx xx (this presentation is correct for Belgium).

When the phone book is imported in my car kit, numbers are formated like this : 324-70x-xxxxx.

This pattern is not recognized by my operator and the calls are denied.

Very annoying.

Could anybody help? Could it be related to IMEI?

My local settings are "English Belgium" (added via moreLocale2).

I have just one question, I made the procedure to disable and repartitionate the internal memory, I want to know if I done everything right, now my phone have 504MB of Internal Space and my SD Card (a 32GB SDHC), Is that correct? Shouldn't it be about 2GB of Internal Space?

I have been back to V1.1 for a few days now. It works quite well but the problem with Mytracks persists (it doesn't open) and other like Endomondo can open but at a certain time they FC.

In the other hand, I could try Copilot GPS and it performed well during 1/2 hour test.

Hoping the master can find a solution ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] Alefello:
I had many problems with number formatting too (problems that on my previous G1345 there weren't). For example numbers with and without +CC are not recognized as the same contact and numbers with +CC NNNNNNNN not correctly sended to my Pioneer bluetooth car kit. For the second problem I had to edit my whole phonebook deleting spaces, dashes etc... Only +CCNNNNNNNN. For the first I didn't find a solution, but for those contacts that gave me this problem mostly, I saved the number twice, with and without the +CC (very rough solution, I know)... Anyway I think these problems are caused by android ICS (on GB they weren't) and the only solution unfortunately is get angry against google :(

@bgcngm: How can I report the bugs found? Because I'm worried If I write them on a post, they will be submerged by others and forgotten :rolleyes: Thank you
