[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
When you say "fixed battery arc level indication issues ", it's related to battery draining issues?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
No, nothing related to battery draining issues. Only regarding the arc display.

I want to ask some thing:

You alway post "sflash via clockworkmod recovery", but in the gravitybox topic, just tell us to install xpose, then install gravitybox.apk.

So, is there any thing difference? And, i got update to gravitybox 2.8.2 recently via xpose (module download section), and is it have fully function?

And. If flash via another recovery suck as cot recovery from superdragonpt or lewa recovery will got any errror.

Cause the flash cant be uninstall like an apk file and it is dangerous than install an apk, so i dont dare to take a test.

Plz explaint, thank to your hard work in sum!

Sorry for my English, ^_^…
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
GravityBox is included in the latest custom ROM release and those who wish to update, can do it by installing the above mentioned package. You can also install Xposed Installer and download the new version from there. Do as you wish.

Update to battery life

UPDATE

After performing the above procedure several times it seems the battery indication was calibrated and the battery life is much longer.
[ZTE Grand X V970] hawk396:
I think you should unzip the 7z file first.

Those features are only available for Android 4.2+.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Vreel:
I definitely did unzip it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to select the ROM zip from the recovery menu, but the problem was unfortunately not that obvious and was only resolved after a fresh download of the ROM zip file.
[ZTE Grand X V970] muhrizky:
Can I get modem update for this device? I already tried both of the options but no impact
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
and the drain issues???? no fixxxxx???? bahhhhh
[ZTE Grand X V970] baseh:
Hi pass25,

Did you try #2655?

It worked for me, with a light use it holds the charge for two days, previously I had to charge it almost twice a day
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
but every 2 days you have to do it?

what do you mean with light use?

because in day use i game a litle, use the net a litle, etc...

thaks
[ZTE Grand X V970] hawk396:
try to close the anti-virus software while downloading the zip file.
[ZTE Grand X V970] baseh:
Then probably you have to charge it every night. This is the same as with ICS, the V970 is only average in this aspect in comparison with other smartphones.
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
how can i solve the ui slowliness?

anyone have same problems?

Incoming Calls Always Busy

I've recently reinstalled the ROM and encountered the same problem, without any apps installed! I can make an outgoing call, but all incoming calls on both my SIM cards get the busy tone. I searched for a possible reason and couldn't find anything.

Eventually I worked out and I thought I'll update this thread, in case others have a similar issue. It's because I *didn't* install Google Services Framework (by deliberately not installing any Google Apps during AROMA installation process). I wanted to use the phone *without* Gapps, but with the ICS ROM it is not possible, unless you revert to stock China Unicom ROM. As a test, I reinstall the ICS 3.1 ROM again without anything Google, and I get the busy tone for incoming calls. But if I reinstall the ROM (ICS 3.1) again, and also install Google Play store, then the incoming calls work. Please note that I do *not* have the extended user partition mod, but I don't think it's relevant to this?

I chose the ICS ROM because I've been having issues with the battery on JB ROM. It drops and then rises after reboot for no reason as had been mentioned, and something in the JB ROM is causing battery drain on my device. On one recharge and having the phone on standby in the house with 2 SIMs active, it may last for 5 days or it may only last for 2 days, and in both situation the phone is just sitting there on the table with very little calls/SMS use, no data/wifi connected. On the ICS ROM it seems more stable.

I know that Bruno has worked hard on this ROM for a long time, especially since he's no longer using this phone, and it is really very, very much appreciated :) I personally think that this is the *best* dual-SIM 4" or 4.3" phone in the world with 900/2100 WCDMA + quad-band GSM, despite the few problems - weak standalone GPS signals, terrible light sensor, average display, small-ish battery... not everyone likes a big phone (or not everything thinks that 5/6" is large enough... I like to use 7" tablets alongside with my phones).

If I may offer some suggestions... hopefully some day we'll see:

- a pure AOSP, nogapps version of the ROM

- an updated CMW recovery that supports sideload, so that the device can be encrypted and still be updated via sideloading

Thanks again Bruno and have a great holiday season.

Bricked? Green Android loop

I really feel like a pre-noob at this point but was simply wanting to give mt ZTE V970M to my daughter and decided I should do a factory reset first. The phone (after asking me if I really wanted to do this) rebooted but now only shows the ZTE logo, then the green Android robot (the one with an atom or something spinning in the belly and dashed lines under it) and then back to the ZTE logo. Only way to stop this is to pull the battery. I tried to get it into the CWM recovery (or even the stock recovery) by powering up holding the VOL+ and Power but no use it stays in the boot loop. My next attempt was to use the SP flash tool to reapply the CWM, and it acts as though it works, but on next startup back to the loop. Next I tried loading the full stock ROM (deselecting the preloader since I am using the V970M international version) and again it acts as though it works, but again back to the loop. I think I have everything I need to get this back to working (if only I could get it into recovery that is) but nothing I try seems to allow me to get to recovery. Can someone please offer me something else I can try as I'm just about out of ideas.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Not bricked. You could have searched... solution is here. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] DocMCSE:
Technically I did search, but unfortunately I misunderstood what you were saying (or more correctly read more into what you had said) in that post. Good news is now that I simply followed your instructions I'm back on track, thanks once again for your assistance.
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
The ui slowlyness is the chrome update. Remove chrome and it fixes.
[ZTE Grand X V970] DragonlordP:

So, are there any plans of an update to 4.1.2?

BTW great work man, been using your rom for half a year now, thanks =)

Data connection disable/enable not work

Hallo!

I updated to 1.3 version but I note that if I disable data connection and after enable it, data doesn't work.

I need to disable and renable the sim and so the data works.

Any help about my problem?

Thanks for your great work!

[ZTE Grand X V970] siscor:
I am trying to re-partition the internal memory to have the INTERNAL SD card as storage.

I tried the flash tool but when I press DOWNLOAD change "USB" to "Searching" in the 3rd information box in the lower bar.

Anybody had this issue? Or know what is wrong?

I have installed the drivers, switched off the phone before opening the flash tool and connect to USB.

Thanks for answering!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
If your phone is not detected then drivers are not installed. Check if there is any unknown device on Device Manager.
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
I think I'm gonna unsubscribe from this. The ROM and all the development was good but now it's all just gravitybox and I'm not interested in that. Maybe you should reconsider changing the thread title, making a new one or closing it if there isn't gonna be more talk about the V970M in general.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Sure, go ahead... do yourself a favor and unsubscribe from thread. I'm the owner of this thread and I decide whatever is off-topic or not, so please don't tell me what should I post here nor that I should rename thread title or even close it. It is okay if you don't like GravityBox or don't even care about it, but I have included it into my latest release and have all the right, as official maintainer of JB branch of GravityBox to announce new versions. :good:
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
I bet when you typed that you thought you was speaking for all of us... I think you are sorely mistaken. What is the point in closing this thread? What would that achieve? If you like another ROM developer or thread then go ahead go there and leave this thread at your own will but it's silly to demand it get closed because YOU don't want to read it anymore.

As there is little hope of the ZTE V970M getting any real version higher than 4.1.1; GravityBox becomes essential for future cool feature to be added to my phone.

Basically all I am saying is no one is keeping you on this thread against your will. Don't like GB? That's fine, but making demands!? Especially when others (like me) want to know when GB is updated, that is not a very helpful thing to do for anyone, not even for yourself!

Whatever you decide to do, try reading your post before hitting send and ask yourself this question: "is this post helpful to anyone?".

Hi

I used Bruno's JB ROM for months in one of my phones (at the time I had 2 v970), and never experienced any of those issues.

Regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Thanks for replying on my behalf. I'm so tired of these complaints that I don't even bother to reply.

On the last few pages of this thread there are many reports confirming that JB version has no major issues related to battery drain. As a matter of fact, some users even reported better battery life when compared to ICS ROM. Personally, I did never have battery drain issues, so I assume it is some application that may be draining battery or even a hardware fault.
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Yeah, I can confirm that.

Battery was greatly improved in your JB, compared to ICS.

Your JB has no issues whatsoever ;)
