maybe need one sim one signal icon?
[ZTE Grand X V970] stex12:
welcome!

yes, all the hardware are limited by MTK6577,

The MT6577 is designed to deliver rich multimedia experiences, with an 8MP camera,

support for up-to high-definition 1080p video playback and the ability to support high-

resolution displays up to HD720 (1280x720) resolution. The platform also pre-integrates

MediaTek's leading 4-in-1 connectivity combo that provides support for dual-band 802.11n

Wi-Fi, BT4.0, GPS and FM. The MT6577 is pin-to-pin compatible with the previously released

MT6575, allowing handset manufacturers to easily produce multiple tiers of devices leveraging a single PCBA hardware development effort.

[ZTE Grand X V970] cybermaus:
I think there may be a little misunderstanding here:

Yes, mediatek needs to release a development kit for JB on the MT6577, but equally true is that each phone manufacturer will then need to adjust that for there individual models as despite the shared SoC each model has variations in hardware. Mediatek is the starting point, but if/when N1 and/or V970 will be upgraded to JB depends next also depends on their brands, and whether hackers like Bruno or Smiley can cross port them depends how much the extra hardware varies.

Going back to the original question, which of them has best chance of ever receiving a JB upgrade? Answer: Who knows, you best roll some dice.

My personal guess is 'neither': market strategy means it is wiser to make hardware obsolete as soon as possible.

Hello!

What do you think abiut JiaYu G3 in comparision with ZTE V970
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:

I can't use 3G on my V970, only 2G access is ok.

I found that both my SIM1 and SIM2 IMEIs are the same. Is it normal?

(I have read the FAQ and know that 2 IMEIs should be normal, and I haven't flash my phone - it's already flashed when I bought it)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
New custom ROM was just released! :D

The main changes are the addition of support to three new languages: Czech (thanks to HunCZ and friends), Hungarian (thanks to lukacsp) and Polish (thanks to LuHash), but there is also improvements in terms of phone responsiveness. Enjoy!
[ZTE Grand X V970] malison:
Thank you very much Bruno:good:

Never mind. A couple of restarts, and now It's ok! Sorry!!

Hi bgcngm,

About the 2.3 Rom Update from 2.2,

Can use the Recovery to backup and restore user data or need to use other backup tools to restore user data after updated :confused:

Thx so much ! :victory:
[ZTE Grand X V970] alexw801:
Backup

Bruno has already answered this question in the Russian forum:

First of all make a backup under recovery mode and just after installing the new update make an advanced restore and restore data only.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Not only have answered that before, but also added that to the frequently asked questions (FAQ) section. :rolleyes:
[ZTE Grand X V970] sergioi:
Hi Bruno,

Since you are making a custom ROM for the Huawei U8836D, in your opinion, are there any advantage or disadvantage over the ZTE V970? (The only advantage that I noticed is the frontal camera so far...)

Cheers,

Sérgio
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
As I said before, I don't want to discuss about other phones in this thread because that is not the topic here. But in this particular case, taking into consideration that I have the two phones I can say that I share the same opinion as this user:

Probably he wanted to post his reply here on V970 thread, but instead he did it on U8836D thread. Anyway, my reply was this one.
[ZTE Grand X V970] LuHash:
Does anyone else have problens with Facebook app?? It crashes just after logging in in the latest version:(

I've even reinstalled the rom and no improvement...

Any ideas?

[ZTE Grand X V970] Slotrat:
Great ROM but...

Hi Bruno! Thank you for creating a Custom ROM!!! :D

I have a problem with it though. After doing a clean flash of both your Recovery (V970 CWM Recovery V6.0.1.2 by BM) and ROM (V970 Android 4.0.4 V1.0MOD by BM) I get "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." after first boot, even though I do a clean reboot without installing anything or even logon to my Google Account...

Any ideas?

And also I have a feature request, I don't know if it's hard or not. But if you could add other languages (like Swedish) to the ROM I'd be VERY happy!

Thank you again Bruno for the great work of fixing ROMs for this device!
[ZTE Grand X V970] Petteri:
Other Languages should be possible i think!

But in first step, ROM is clean and great performance.Just test it with Antutu yesturday!

See pictures attached!

One question for internal memory changes in hardware, is it possible to create eemc storage from 2-in only one!? That was going on my nerves on HTC Wind and ZP200 too! But i don`t know if these changes are possible by hardware and MT6577!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Opps... sorry for that. In order to overcome that problem you have to set a new wallpaper on the first boot. I didn't noticed that because I started to setup my phone from that moment on and set a new wallpaper. Anyway, this will be fixed in future releases.

Yes, adding more languages to the ROM is possible, but it is very time consuming. It is something I have planned, but I don't have much time for that at the moment.

Yes, that is possible, I did it on V9 and ZP300. I will post later the instructions of how to do that.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Petteri:
I heard about but never find a working solution! This could be great! THX for this, i will try directly when you post the way! :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] djgabi:
What languages are in the rom? I see many V970 video reviews with stock rom, that include Hungarian (Magyar) language, in yours? In the official updates (07.26/08.06/08.27), what are the differencies, what laguages are included? Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Petteri:
In moment English and Chines are included, with the App morelocal2 you can change into more languages! But it`s not reall 100% cool! :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] EMF:
sdcard / sdcard2

I found it quite annoyin that the phone storrage (emmc) is "sdcard" and the external SD card is "sdcard2". That means that allot of apps (like TitaniumBackup) will default use the internal 2GB emmc memory, and not the external SD card. That is although that the default storrage setting is set to "SD Card".

This patch will change that, so that the external SD will be sdcard and internal emmc will be sdcard2. The externas SD will show as phone storage under Settings -> Storrage.

27-08-2012 ROM Update

A new official ROM update is said to have been released on august 27. As I understand it from this post, signal strength and talk quality have been improved.

It can be downloaded directly from ZTE's site: http://www.zte.com.cn/cndata/mobile/Spbook/201208/P020120827587585956152.zip
[ZTE Grand X V970] Petteri:
Interesting, but Storage Problem is not this what i want to cahnge, i know that it`s possible to get both internals eMMC as one! So in the end, there is only 1 internal and one SD (which is our Micro SD), i think, that way is much more comfortable! :)

By the way, the ROM Update isn`t multilangual too like i see in first short view.... so i will stay here on Brunos! :):laugh:
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I had already downloaded that supposed new ROM, but apparently it looked exactly the same as the one I used as base for my custom ROM (MediaTek release: CU-CN-QB18D-P175A20V1.0.0). I will look again more deeply if there was any change.

Roaming when on local network

Hi bruno, bought a v970 finally to replace my G11i Pro.

Your rom works really well and the perfomance if the phone is really nice.

Thou it seems to have the same problem as the G11i Pro had in the begginning when 2 operators share the same network it seems to be roaming on local network. You think you can solve that in your rom?

Also what is the diffrens with your ClockworkMod and the one Etotalk shipped more then yours is a little bit newer?

Donation sent also!

Best regards Jonas
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
First of all, thank you very much for your donation, Jonas.

My CWM recovery is based on the latest version available, which includes some new features.

Regarding that "roaming issue", it doesn't seem to happen on my case. I'm currently using one SIM card for mobile data connection and the other one for voice calls, both from the same network operator.
[ZTE Grand X V970] EMF:
With the recovery from etotalk, backup did not work (for me anyway) - it works with the recovery from Bruno.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yeah, my custom recovery doesn't have problems with USB storage mounting or nandroid backup / restore. :D

By the way, you were the one who mentioned the new update available on ZTE support website and as a sequence of my previous post I can now confirm with 100% sure that my ROM is based on the most up to date version.
[ZTE Grand X V970] EMF:
Thanks for the info, and great work! I will donate too http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
[ZTE Grand X V970] jln1982:
Hi.

Dont really think you understood me. I think its based on the MVNO network here, both Telia and Tele2 is sharing the same 3G (Called Sweden 3G) network so I need to enable roaming to be able to use Datatraffic.

Do you understand my problem / issue?

Thanks and have a nice weekend.

[ZTE Grand X V970] SwordfishCZ:
In Settings -> Security -> Screen lock -> None you can set your phone to wake up by any hardware button (i.e. Power button or Volume buttons). No need to "slide to unlock". Unfortunately this doesn't work, when you install any certificate into your phone (that was big surprise/disappointment for me, it's a new "feature" of Android 4). I used to have an app named "No Lock" for this on older Android 2.x phones, but now it isn't necessary.

Even in the past I haven't seen any app to wake a phone by the touchscreen or sensor keys. I think i read somewhere it isn't even possible.

Busy phone on voiice calls

Hi, bgcngm,

After updating to 2.3MOD ROM, my phone is always busy when an incoming call arrives. What can be the reason, how to adjust? May be a stupid app can do it (I installed many apps)? Two SIMs were tried, provider is T-Mobile H. The reason is not a faulty SIM.

Working on 2.2MOD ROM everything was perfect.

I do not want to return to 2.2MOD ROM.
[ZTE Grand X V970] sergioi:
I don't know if it is software related, I think it is more a hardware problem, but lets see if someone can answer...

I was testing the headset that came with my ZTE V970, and all I hear is a noise and when playing music, it sounds very strange, almost no voice on the songs.... But when I plug a common headphone without mic, it sounds clear and normal... I also tried with a SonyEricsson Headset and iPhone Headset with mic and same results with noises...

I found some similar problems with other ZTE phone, apparently the headset jack has a different pattern for the Left/Right/Mic connectors... Some people recommended to use Nokia 3.5mm headsets with mic that works OK, can anybody test or confirm this problem?

I am 99% sure that's a hardware problem, but maybe 1% of chance to solve this problems with software...

Cheers,

Sergio

Hi all,

I already flash 2.2 Mod & disable internal sdcard. Now I want to update to 2.3 Mod, does I need flash back to stock rom first? Cause I cannot mount the SD Card in recovery. Thanks!
[ZTE Grand X V970] cybermaus:
If you hear normal sound when you plug in a normal audio headset, it would mean the phone has the normal connections. And subsequently the handfree that you received is wrong. But we can check that, if you have a multimeter and the skill to measure resistance of the handsfree:

Tip: Left

2nd ring: Right

3rd ring: Ground

4rd ring: Mic

Measure between ground and left and between ground and right. They should be similar values between 10 and 50 Ohm. Between ground and mic should be significantly higher, like between 200 and 2000 Ohm

It is possible your handsfree is from a different model, in the early days, with non-stereo instead of using a 4-sleeve jack they used the old 3-sleeve one and swapped out Right with the Mic. But it probably just broken. Buy a new one on eBay for Apple or HTC, they should work, as they use above pinout

Nokia has changed their pinouts over time. I know of at least 3 different, incompatible ways Nokia has build their headset connectors. So I would not advise a Nokia headset.

You don't need to go back to the stock ROM in order to install the latest custom ROM. Just go ahead and install it because it is a full update.

it's in a chinese ROM http://static.lewatek.com/yun/ZTE_V970/LeWa_ZTE_V970_ROM_12.10.19_20889.zip

Can you put it into your ROM?~ Your ROM is better than that ,because that one has too much bugs...

Pls forgive my poor English.:o:o:o

I think you should read the FAQ carefully, these problems are explained there!

Hi, bgcngm,

After updating to 2.3MOD ROM, my phone is always busy when an incoming call arrives.

The reason:

AVOID full-screen-caller-id-pro-v9.2.8.apk. It was only copied to the sdcard, it installed itself. I did not understand.

Solution: Backup of all apps by Titanium Backup Pro. Recovery, wipe/data. Copy Titanium Backup Pro.apk to sdcard, install. (May be by ES File Manager, from Play Store). Restoring the apps, one by one.

Something wrong in CZ translation

Hi,

we have something wrong with the Czech translation. Some apps are crashing just after they are launched. When I set language to English, Polish or Hungarian, the same apps work without normaly. But when I set language to Czech, they always crash.

Some exaples of such applications are: ES File manager, default Browser, Opera Mobile, QuickMark (QR reader).

When I run adb logcat, I see:

E/AndroidRuntime( 6350): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.android.browser/com.android.browser.BrowserActivity}: java.util.FormatFlagsConversionMismatchException: %s does not support ' '

E/AndroidRuntime( 6350):	at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2077)
...

so my question is: In which file is the translation wrong? What do you think? Framework-res.apk maybe ? And how do I find the%s which does not support ' ' ? ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I was already aware of that minor problem and will have to look into the translation to find where the problem is. Please hold on a bit.

EDIT: I have already isolated the problem and tomorrow will release the fix. ;)
