Hi!

Hello Bruno. First of all thank you very much for the great work that you perform to keep our optimized smartphone. I want ask you some questions. In your next job will do something with the build.prop? There are many details there improvements that the team changes a lot :). Another thing, the GPU is no way to improve performance? Maybe removing the FPS limit, disabling Vsync, or updating drivers, something like that!

Many Thanks from Venezuela we are a large community of users V970M and what we can support, we will!!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I have already added some build.prop tweaks, but have recently found that some don't have any effect at all on ICS builds. Which team are you referring to?

I don't have any experience with that. If you have any information about that, please let us know.

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
ICS mods? Can you please explain better what your goal is? :rolleyes:

The solution is here, but read this post as well.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Supracer:

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Well, search around the forum. There are plenty of mods available, but you may have to adapt it to your phone. It's a pity that you don't have V970 and I don't know if anyone is working on custom ROMs for your phone, but that's basically what you should expect when you buy such a phone. Sorry, but I can help you more.

The V970 has the V2.3MOD my wife and so far it's going very well, before you upgrade to V3 with the second wipe, I wanted to ask:

No one has found problems with bluetooth pairing kit car toyota? When coupled with my Nexus everything works, even the Nexus kit is fine. but the v970 with the kit to do anything wrong ..

Any idea?

Thank's
[ZTE Grand X V970] drait:
No experience in this constellation, but with V2.3 I could pair my (very old) HCB-700 bluetooth car kit but not make calls, and with the latest 3.0 ROM I can make calls through the car kit, so there have been improvements in the bluetooth stack between the two versions.
[ZTE Grand X V970] denexo:
I cannot also use my toyota touch&go with the V970 (have tried both V2.3 and V3.0). It always says failed to connect. The same thing was happening with my alcatel OT-918D with MTK6573. So i don't think it is a rom issue but the bluetooth implementation of mediatek. Maybe Bruno can enlighten us a bit more !!!

I can not connect to pc win 7, version 3.Version 2.3 goes, does anyone know what to do?
[ZTE Grand X V970] xdaanthony:
When boot.img is flashed to V2.3MOD, I find the USB connecting to PC is not working. Are you OK?
[ZTE Grand X V970] denexo:
Could someone please upload the default ZTE wallpaper that comes with the new V3.0MOD? Or Bruno could you please indicate where this file is located in your rom?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
ZTE default wallpaper or boot animation?
[ZTE Grand X V970] denexo:
ZTE default wallpaper with the haystacks Bruno. I am using V2.3MOD and i am using the LOGOIMG from V3.0MOD (the one with the ZTE international logo) I have left intact the bootanimation from 2.3 although i am thinking to replace it with the one from V3.0
[ZTE Grand X V970] Gynlemon:
Had tried his ROM ZTE initial if it was? or only with this ROM V2.3 and V3.0? I have not had time to try .. I immediately put the 2.3 ..
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That is the default_wallpaper.jpg that you can find inside framework-res.apk (under res/drawable-nodpi folder).
[ZTE Grand X V970] denexo:
Me too... as soon as i got the phone from etotalk i flashed Bruno's V2.3MOD. But Bruno's roms are based on official ZTE roms so it is no Bruno's rom issue but ZTE in general (???)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I thought you were using V3.0MOD ROM with boot.img from V2.3MOD. What was the reason to go back to the previous release?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Mandro_O:
Hello Bruno, well I've been trying to disable Vsync in the V970, hopefully you can. And then there's'm testing some build.prop tweaks! Hey you can not carry a CyanogenMod 9 from another phone that has and is mtk6577? It would be super cool: D

do you know if zte planning to upgrad their v970 with latest android?

:confused:
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
No, I don't know. I don't work for ZTE. Heheh... :laugh:

But you can imagine... ZTE Venezuela has recently released a ROM, still ICS based.
[ZTE Grand X V970] denexo:
Hi Bruno. First main reason was the cpu not throttling (although it was solved by using previous kernel). Second reason was that feeling that when pressing the power button for the screen to lock, the screen was turning off in two stages. Like first dimming in half brightness and then going on completely. And in general (maybe i am completely wrong) the V2.3 felt a bit more snappy. What i liked in V3.0 was that A-GPS was added. Maybe i will give it another try during the holidays

Either way, you have done an excellent work Bruno !!! Thanks again !!!
[ZTE Grand X V970] gerstavros:
Also i noticed that by flashing the previous kernel in V3.0, usb mass storage connection doesn't work. However for me, v3.0 is faster than 2.3, and much better of course. Any way to fix cpu throttling?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Bury:
I have basically same problem, I flashed rom to V3 and found out that after connection to pc I cannot turn on mass storage, want to tick USB storage but it jumps back to Built-in CD rom, has anyone same problem?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
After installing ZTE software (available inside the built-in cd rom) you can turn mass storage on.
[ZTE Grand X V970] gaiolo:
The OT-918D is also a double SIM?

I am not sure, but I think that I already found same issue elsewhere.

The solution was to make for example SIM1 to make all calls (without confirmation, so no ask from Android wich SIM you want to use).

Or try with only one SIM on.

Hope it helps
[ZTE Grand X V970] Bury:
Of course, you are right but there are situations where I can not install anything and the only thing I can do is connection of flash drive (due to users rights only), same as for connection of v970 to tablet (I know that there different possible ways but usb mass storage is the most comfortable for me) so my question is if there is possible way to go around or is there possibility to turn off this feature in next released (if planned). Thanks for advice
[ZTE Grand X V970] Siendor:
The only solution worked to me:

- Connect to computer

- Eject the CD-ROM drive from computer

- Than you can change to any mode you want (USB drive / MTP / camera)

The bad thing is, if you connect it again, it will be CD-ROM, so you have to do it every time you connect...

I'm using MTP mode, V2.3 saved my setting, now, after installing driver, the phone always wants to connect USB-drive mode... :( :(

It's not a friendly thing, but it least works...

I wonder what happens when connected to a linux, pc or to an apple...
[ZTE Grand X V970] denexo:
Yes the Alcatel OT-918D is dual sim with mediatek processor. I will try as soon as i find the chance. Thanks very much for the useful info :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] jjforums:
Hello!

Thank you for the ROM, I'm using it and it's very good.

I want to know if I can change icons to default ICS icon and remove percentage from battery icon in status bar.

And I want to know if you are planning to do something about lock screen on next rom version...

Thanks again.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Have you installed the latest ROM, the one which includes AROMA installer? With it, you can choose to keep ICS stock battery icons. If you have the percentage, it means you have selected that mod.
[ZTE Grand X V970] jjforums:
Yes, but I choose default mode, I thought the other option would have more advanced options, I will reinstall the rom, thanks!

And about lockscreen?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Selecting default mode will install the ICS modded battery icons with battery percentage, as you already noticed.

I don't know if I will change lockscreen. Some users have request that before, but honestly I didn't had time to work on it.
[ZTE Grand X V970] batocchietto_29_:
a question,i have this phone with etotalk room,i want try a bruno room,where is the best? v2.3 or 3.0?
[ZTE Grand X V970] jjforums:
So, count me in with these users, the default locker isn't good at all, I'm using an App to have a better locker but isn't that good, it isn't the same of a system lock... If you get time, would be good to see default ICS locker in the ROM.

To reflash the ROM I have to flash the stock ROM first or I just can do it again with this ROM? Cleaning the caches, etc...

Thanks!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
There's no point flashing the stock ROM. You even have more work by doing it because stock ROM overwrites CWM-based recovery. :D

You can simply re-install the ROM and chose whatever you want to wipe through AROMA installer.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I know there are too many posts now on this thread, but at least make an effort and search a little bit. In case it passed unnoticed, there's a field upper on the forum that allows you to search within this thread. With a simple search you may find the solution... here you have.
[ZTE Grand X V970] jjforums:
I did it, but there was no option to install the launcher without custom icons, just stock battery.

Thanks.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yes, just stock battery. The other icons you are referring to are the stock ones, from ZTE Venezuela official ROM. I haven't changed the icons. You may not like, but others do. :o
[ZTE Grand X V970] jjforums:
Ahhh, I thought you'd customized, because when I get the phone it was default ICS icons... I can use a custom launcher and the icons are not that bad, I was just thinking if I could change it to default like I did with battery icon.

Is there a way to remove the search bar from all homescreens? The phone already has a search button, I don't see the point of these bars on all homescreens.

A suggestion, in notification toggle, for airplane mode, could be a pop up to choose which SIM to change to airplane mode (SIM1, SIM2, Both), like data connection.

Thank you again, are you planning to release a next version?
[ZTE Grand X V970] denexo:
I tried it yesterday with no luck. I couldn't connect to my touch&go as i was getting always connection failed. I tried with one sim on, i tried with using one sim only for calling ans sms, i even enabled remote access to the active sim under the advanced bleutooth settings. No luck :(

Hi All,

after i upgrade to 3.0 , i have find a problem ,

when i restart the phone , system can not auto detect the sim card 2 , only can detect the sim card 1

i change all the sim card to fly mode , start the sim 2 before sim 1 , system can detect all the sim

system can not detect the sim 2 , if the sim 1 start before sim 2

any one have the same problem on 3.0 rom ?

Thx so much !
[ZTE Grand X V970] gaiolo:
But, what is the your problem?

1.)You can not connect your Phone to the BT of the car?

2.)Or your Phone connect, but the BT don´t work, when you receive/make a call?

(this was the problem that i read and the "solution" that I told you...)

In the past, some bluethoot car Kits, needed to "clean" the history of connected devices... to accept new devices (happens to me with a Parrot kit).

Go to a Toyota Forum, and search .

But if you have the 1.) problem, I remember some early WM devices had the same problem, solved by installing a new BT manager.

I can not help you more, because I am still stuck with a WM device... and don´t know android.
[ZTE Grand X V970] tlac:
cpu frequency problem

bgcngm, are you working on better solution?

I started to investigate what the root cause is. I've already known the new kernel is OK. The problem is in the scripts.

I created a new kernel from the 2.3 boot.img, I replaced the zImage from the 3.0 boot.img and CPU scales correctly.

attached the modified boot.img
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
So, you created a new boot.img using the new kernel and the old init scripts from the previous ROM, is that correct? I don't remember seeing differences in init scipts.
[ZTE Grand X V970] tlac:
on my Debian it does not work this way

I had to modify the build.prop.

insert # on begins of the lines, restart the phone and will works like usb storage

#ro.sys.usb.bicr=yes
#persist.sys.usb.bicr_evo=yes

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

correct

there is not much difference

the init.usb.rc can be the culprit
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Thanks, that was a great finding if you have already confirmed that CPU is throttling as it should. ;)

Probably the best thing is to release a new update with fixed boot.img and Email.apk. Any other wishes?
[ZTE Grand X V970] tlac:
no problem, works as in 2.3

that's a good idea.

I'd like to see usb-storage not cd-rom :)

Ok, i installed the rom ( it is great by the way, i was a little anxius about the greek translation), but i noticed a small issue with the screen.

It turns on at different times of the day without me touching the phone. It is like i press the power button for a sec. Just now it did it 6 times with 5-7 sec between them. I've uninstalled all the apps i had just in case, but the issue remaines. Will it help if i do a fullwipe and install again?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That's not a normal behavior, at all! Make sure that you haven't installed any third party app that is messing with your your phone. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] vagosofron:
That's why i've uninstalled all the apps i had witch weren't much. At first i thought it was from setcpu and i took it off, but problem still there.

Do you think i can install the rom again and wait for a while with no apps to see what happens?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yeah, I think you should do that, just to make sure that the problem is not the ROM.

After updated to version 3.0 , power consumption gets quite high

It shows in the battery menu that about 33% power was used by phone idle ,30%powe was used by cell standby.
[ZTE Grand X V970] tugof:
I have problem with battery life on 3.0 too.

During first night in the airplane mode fall down 30% and second night even 50%.

I Try tracking which application by Power Tutor and other software consume this, but look like system, phone idle is culprit.

Yesterday I return to V2.2 MOD, restore all my application by Titanium backup and battery life is multiple better.

During todays night in the airplane mode battery drop down 2% only.

Next small problem is that USB debugging tick dasn´t hold. After reboot are untick always.

I´m still happy with Brunos rom, but V3.0 MOD isn´t usable for me now.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
That must be due to the reported incorrect CPU throttling. For the moment, use this modified boot.img. It seems to fix the problem. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] vagosofron:
So it is possible that you can fix this in the next release?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yes, that shall be included in the next release. And most probably I'll disable built-in cd rom feature which has caused so much headaches in some users. :p

EDIT: In the meanwhile, just flash the modified boot.img through SP Flash Tools. :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] sp4wned:
What about the SMS icon, Bruno? It doesn't shows the number of new messages.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I don't think that's a bug. It is simply a feature that was not implemented on the stock ZTE Launcher. If you install Apex Launcher you can enable missed call count, unread SMS count and even unread Gmail count. Just go to Apex settings / Advanced settings and configure it as you wish. :cool:

[ZTE Grand X V970] drait:
Good point! Is it easy to extract the firmware from an Indonesian V970 as a base for a new firmware or does it need specialist tricks and/or can it only be done on a flashable version that is posted on the Indonesian website? You might have to pass a kernel parameter for the memory, although IIRC there were also Chinese V970 versions before with only 512MB.

Because it won't be long until the first Indonesian V970 owner stumbles on this thread and might be interested in helping us out - in which case I say terima kasi from Belanda :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
It should be easy to get a backup using MTK Droid Root & Tools, if the phone is rooted. Nevertheless, I expect the stock ROM to be released on ZTE Indonesian support website. In case it takes a long time, and if you have contact with any Indonesian user please let us know so that we can grab a copy of the ROM.

Other than that, excellent rom! I love the Aroma installer, though not specific to your rom. I used that a lot in my SGS3 days. Now a dual-sim user...

Would be great if you can add the new boot.img in the new rom (which uo already stated to do) and by default use the full 4GB emmc for apps and system.
