:( unfortunately I want to change also the received time (changing it to sent time, which involves changing a pair of lines in a smali)...

my changes were:

- corrected a pair of buggy emoticons in italian .xml

- changed emoticons to android 2.3 ones

- "unlimited" contacts and sms to mms messages conversion

- sent time instead of received time for received sms

I think the 1st 2nd and 3rd are applicable also to V3.1... But for the 4th? What can I do?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
In that case you can just deodex Mms.apk, make the changes, both in terms of resources and smali code, and leave it that way. It doesn't hurt if just Mms.apk is deodexed.

[ZTE Grand X V970] sianhulo:
the tutorial doesn't work for me :(, I am already rooted, but I cannot put cwm, when I connect the phone after click "dowload" it fails to enter download mode and just charges normally(yeah, I installed the driver, though there are only 3 items checked on the program unlike the image showed at the tutorial site)

P.S could you pleas port paranoidandroid?or is there something that makes it imposible(at least at the moment) to port it?
[ZTE Grand X V970] gerstavros:
connect phone without battery
[ZTE Grand X V970] sianhulo:
yeah, that's what I do(windows keeps beeping as if i were constantly connecting desconecting it)but in the tutorial says that you have to put the battery after, that's when it starts to charge normally
[ZTE Grand X V970] gerstavros:
Let the phone without battery until flashing get completed
[ZTE Grand X V970] sianhulo:
it doesn't do anything(just keeps beeping as if it were connected disconnected continuously)
[ZTE Grand X V970] vagosofron:
Try a different usb port and don't use a usb hub to connect the phone. The same thing happened to me and when i used another port it was ok.
[ZTE Grand X V970] sianhulo:
At least it worked, thanks @vagosofron and @gerstavros.

Btw @bgcngm, I don't want to be a nuisance, but I really want to know if porting paranoidandroid might be possible, thanks for your time.

BTW. Personally I do not possess enough knowledge to instruct such a person how to do it with JB (new kernel diifferent boot loader, different windows drivers/utilities), though I could easily do it with v970 running ICS.

The best solution is to use Nandroid backup / restore feature (from CWM recovery) or MTK Droid & Root Tools (by rua1).

Judging by the custom version shown on the first screenshot, your ROM should be the first one released by ZTE. I just wonder why A-GPS was disabled from Location settings menu...

Hi,

I'm very happy with your rom (it saved me because my phone arrived with ZTE original chinese rom without Google Apps and with only english and chinese language :( ) but I noticed a pair small bugs:

- vibration works only sometimes vhen unlocking phone (but I disabled vibration everywhere, so it could be related).

- light sensor often became crazy in middle lights and backlight goes up and down continuously.

- sometimes when I turn off the screen, immediatly it turns on again alone.

- I cannot delete the APNs (but I don't know if that's a problem of your rom or of ICS)

Another pair of things, but I think these are not dued to your rom:

- GPS tooks years to lock the satellites

- SMS app has the same bug that I had on my Gsmart G1345 (I opened also a thread on this some time ago; the problem was the emoticons mapping: I had :Di instead of :D and on the ZTE also <3 instead of <3) but at this point I think it coul depend on my operator/language/configuration, and I resolved in the same way as I did on G1345.

Thank you very much for your work and sorry for my terrible english :)

I'm currently hesitating between the V970 and the Huawey G500 (http://www.etotalk.com/huawei-u8836d-ascend-g500-pro-shine-gorilla-glass-ips-android-dual-sim-43qhd-dualcore-10ghz_p3029.html).

What would be your recommendation?

[ZTE Grand X V970] johndebur:
Hello thank you for your Rom. :)

Well there is another program not working for me. I got a microsoft exchange account and whenever I open an email with that standard E-mail ( E-mail version 4.1 ) app that comes with Android, it crashes.

Maybe it could be fixed with that new Rom :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] Alefello:
I have the V970 and for my use the battery lasts enough. Gorilla glass and the front camera are an intresting "pro" but there is also the 50$ difference and the lack of the 3rd button... I can't reccommend you one or the other: I'm happy with the ZTE :D

Good news! Maybe some bug I reported will be solved on the new rom... But would you release an "upgrade" version? and those who apply the "extended data" patch, should reapply it?
[ZTE Grand X V970] xdaanthony:
Thanks! Waiting!!!:good::fingers-crossed:
[ZTE Grand X V970] Petteri:
The ZTE is really a cool phone, somethings on that model are scrapy like no Front Cam but the Phone itselves is very good! I got the ZOPO ZP900 Leader with 5,3" QHD on Monday too, this is really a cool one too with a famous batterie drain! :)

Sooooo my question now: Is it possible to put your CWM recovery on that phone to0!? Is MT6577 too! in moment it`s 6.0.1.1 CWM by etotalk installed....I thing, the repartition of eMMC would be great too on that ZP900 but surely i dont`t know any about this ROM by ZOPO!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I will look into that. Although I don't have any MS Exchange account, I will try to configure a POP3 account on the stock E-mail app to see if it crashes on the new ROM.

There will be no "upgrade" version. You can flash the new update.zip and then restore userdata using Nandroid backup / feature, just as I explained when extended data partition mod was released. Now, to your second question, I will try to implement a feature to auto-detect if eMMC is repartitioned or not and install the correct vold.fstab when update.zip is flashed.

I'm 99,99% sure that V970 recovery image won't work on ZP900 because kernel is different. eMMC repartition files may also not work on it because the partition table is probably different. Anyway, if you want you can fully format your ZP900 using SP Flash Tool and reflash it with its stock ROM but using scatter file (

only this one

!!!) from V970. Then MBR and EBR1 can be flashed into your ZP900 and you will end up with the exact same partition table as V970.

Well, I must say that I have never experienced any issues with the normal Superuser application, so honestly never felt the need to move over to SuperSU. It's new and fancy, but that's it. The features are practically the same, so why would we move over to that app?

I have just tested a POP3 account and it worked fine on the new custom ROM that I'm about to release. As I said I can't test MS Exchange account but I'm sure it's fixed now. Can you please confirm if the app was crashing also with POP3 accounts?

In this case we must wait to 4.1.1 come to China, then we will have many leaks :) The other way is to write to some indonesian blogers/reviewers to upload 4.1.1 from V970M or... write directly to ZTE China with request of the software :) Also another idea is to write on official ZTE Indonesia Facebook page request to indonesian users to upload 4.1.1 theres a looot of people here :)

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
If your recovery is CWM-based (as it seems based on the version number) you can install my custom ROMs, but I would advise you to flash my recovery as well. The reason is that CWM recovery supplied by Etotalk is broken: it doesn't allows you to make Nandroid backups... besides that, I can't also tell if it is a light version or not and if it could fail while running AROMA installer.

Hi,

I got the phone today and proceeded to apply the extended userdata mod and installed 3.1mod, after playing around with it a bit and installing some apps, i decided to reset the phone. I went to system->backup & reset and reseted the phone. Now the phone reboots to the ZTE logo, shows the android robot logo and the continually resets the phone and shows the zte logo and the android robot logo.

I've tried flashing the clockwordmod through sp flash but i just can't get into the recovery with VOLUP + POWER and releasing at the logo.

Any ideas on how to get back to clockworkmod?

Thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I thought that problem was fixed, but it seems it isn't. You have to get the stock Chinese ROM (in SP Flash Tool format) and re-flash cache and recovery partitions. The phone will then be able to recover from that bootloop and you can re-flash CWM recovery. ;)

In the future, don't use Android built-in factory reset... instead do the factory reset under recovery mode.
[ZTE Grand X V970] tlac:
I'm curious. What is the problem in the background?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
As far as I know, all MT6577 based smartphones have the exact same problem: when a CWM-based recovery is installed and the factory reset is done under Android, it goes into a bootloop. This never happened before (pre-MT6577) and is somehow related to factory binary (/system/bin/factory). I thought it was solved because I got the binary from a MT6575 device and even tested the factory reset and it worked for me. Although, it seems that it stills fails. :o

Google calendar won't sync

Hi guys and mainly Bruno,

first of all THANK YOU for your ROMs you're providing us, I'll be sending you some donation in 2 weeks when I receive my monthly wage, I really appreciate what you do to this community.

Here's the thing.

I was using 3.0 rom (clean install) for about 1 month, that's when I bought the phone.

Now I installed 3.1 (just update, without wiping cache and data) but Google calendar stopped syncing.

I've tried basically everything I found on the internet. What is most puzzling is that most of the manuals suggest to delete "Data" for "Calendar Storage". But I'm not able to find it at all inside Apps view, it's not in ALL view and there's no Filter either. I installed Calendar on ROM 3.0 and now I believe I've updated it when installing 3.1.

I've installed aLogCat tool and when I execute Sync, there are roughly 8 lines of "Provider needs a label for authority 'com.android.calendar'" error and 1 line of "Failed to find provider info for com.android.calendar'.

What do you suggest please? I really don't want to wipe the phone and install clean ROM 3.1 although it wouldn't be so much struggle.

I have a strong feeling the problem lies in the missing Calendar Storage app but how do I fix that? I found a CalendarProvider.apk on the internet but for some old version and it doesn't want to install on the phone.

Thanks for every hint.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I'm glad to hear your feedback. That issue you're reporting is new to me. It means that somehow, CalendarProvider.apk (and .odex) have disappeared. Can you really confirm that? Open a file explorer with root access and go to /system/app and search for those two files. If you don't find those files, can't you try installing the update.zip once again (without clearing userdata) but making sure that Calendar is selected to be installed?
[ZTE Grand X V970] dett:
Ok I really don't know what happened in the first place but now after reinstall it's working. Those 2 files were really missing in the System\app folder. Anyway I'd expect that simple reinstall of Google Calendar would fix it anyway, wouldn't it?

I've actually tried to reinstall the whole ROM already yesterday but the phone completely frozen on the page where you select to wipe data and cache, it's a second screen or so. So I've rather gave up on that and tried different ways.

It's even possible that during the first update I haven't checked Google Calendar and left Stock calendar in place and it just wiped the Calendar Storage. I am really sorry but I don't recall these details :(

Thanks anyway for your quick help, it finally works again!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yes, it could have happened that you forgot to select Calendar on the first install. If the files were missing it makes complete sense. ;)
