Finally CM10.1 4.2.2 :laugh:

Guys, well, sometimes it's just easier than you can think.This morning i've read some tutorials, and starting from the unfinished chinese cm10.1 i've fixed the problems that this rom had, by moving some files and making some modification in to, from the lastest ics. Basically some drivers and config files. Now everything is working, but there are still glitches and performance problems, other than that , the phone is very usable.

I've sent some links to Heatshiver so also him can work on, my idea was to implement also Mipop (for fullscreen) and Emode.apk (powermanager). Now i will try to load via cwm, Gapps to see how they run, and nexus camera to test photosphere, with Focal it was quite good :)

Due to bad weather i have very slow internet so i can only upload a couple of photos

Cheers from italy

Even though I don't have this phone but no doubt, it a very good phone pocket-able, big battery and cheap ;) Good Work :good: and Congratulations to u, to OP and to u all.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] skaskaskaska:
Thanks, i bought it for cheap back in February , and it's still alive after maybe thirty drops, quite tough phone. Anyway guys the problem is always the 10 posts to post. According to xda i need to make useful posts, allright then.

So far i am trying to fix the kernel (studying a lot about) to make the rom full working, since the incorporated throttle the cpu @640mhz when it reach 36-40 ° C reducing drastically performance , i'm investigatin why it happens. The tegra 3 is designed to operate without problem from 40°C to 80°C and then at 90°C shutdown the phone. On the thermal table everything is correct, so i am trying to recompile the existing one.The modified kernel, had this fileinit.rc with some extra strings pretty useless about cpu module, and other missing things. When i will get back home next week i will post a link, of a beta since I would like everyone to test and report errors. So far it's been three days running this rom without problems, apart cpu throttling. Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Heatshiver:
skaskaskaska has been doing a great job with the CM10.1! We are very fortunate that he has been working on this and I will do my best to fix and tweak what is left to get it to be the best it can be for everyone. Our main concern (now) is the kernel. As some of you know I was working on a custom kernel for this phone, but I believe the toolchain I was using caused problems in rebuilding the kernel. Unfortunately, I saw nothing that would allow us to change the speeds of the kernel (in terms of throttling). Maybe a different toolchain would help (have tried two)...

Once the ROM is released anyone who can test and report issues would be of great help. I know that when I test I look for certain things, but may overlook other things that someone may come across. Please report any errors or bugs so they can be worked on.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Heatshiver:
We are getting very close to the CM release! A couple more tweaks and an initial release should be ready! Get your ZTE U950 ready for Jelly Bean!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] varnyup:
I'm ready! Come on guys, I can't wait to use your ROM!:good:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] outlaw1313:
Can anyone give me the last good firmware for U950? not original cause i have Sim problem
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] varnyup:
I tried some rom, but the sim problem is hardware problem - an other rom can't help you. By the way I haven't found better rom, then the latest official. The MIUI what I posted here, is not as good I thought - my friend use it, and it is slow and often crashes..

I use the latest official rom, and I haven't got call bug, sim problem is rare, so i'm satisfied - but I'm waiting for the CM! :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] outlaw1313:
I think you said about rebooting after call right? I have reboot after call on the last firmware too, but on b14 it is not if i will you CWM chinease recovery edition
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] varnyup:
I can't find the number of this rom, but the date of the bulid is 2013.08.23. Since I have been using this rom, i havent't got any reboot after call. The network sometimes "lose" ( = No service), but not as often then before. I don't know that, the sim problem is hardware problem or not, but I haven't find a rom, which doesn't contain this bug/problem/mistake.

I don't think there is a really good custom rom - all of them based on the official roms, maybe a bit better, a bit faster, but nothing else.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Heatshiver:
I have redone the OP and all downloads should now work. There are some new methods to try for different things, and you can find A LOT of ROMs to download and try out. There are no descriptions for the ROMs.

Cyanogenmod ROM still needs a bit of work. There is one major audio issue that we have been unable to solve. I will discuss this with ska again and see if we can figure something out. If not, I think will will release the beta for testing the end of this week or some time next week.

[MENTION=5080081]outlaw1313[/MENTION] - I have uploaded all the stock firmware. Please check the OP for the version you wish to use. [MENTION=5286022]varnyup[/MENTION] - CM will be ready soon, my friend.

The sim card issue may or may not be hardware related. We ran into something similar for CM, but I cannot personally confirm this as I don't have a SIM card to test with right now. When I was using this phone I used the "

SignedROM

" that you can download from the OP now. I used it for months without any SIM issues...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] loechie:
factory reset

I have another problem - opened the phone to see if i could fix the "sim problem" and found out there was an antenna cable with bad contact ... After restart the touchscreen doens't work anymore. I installed different ROM's but nothing helps. The only thing i didn't try yet is an original factory reset. But i cannoot do it since i am in the Chinese recory mode. Is there a way to put the phone back to the original state ? (with power button and volume down to the normal android factory reset screen ?)

Thanks ...

I managed to put the phone to the normal settings - but afactory reset doesn't bring the touchscreen back to life again ...

When I opened the phone i disconnected the cable from the sreen and then ut it back again ... Maybe there is something that needs to be done ? I'm sure I connected everything like it should. Any Idea's someone ?

[MENTION=4694461]loechie[/MENTION] - To be honest, I don't think anything will get the touch screen back... If you were messing with the hardware

and then

the touch screen didn't work, then it is likely not a software issue. I never open a phone unless I have to, but even then, you really need to be sure you remember how you disconnected items... I will try to help as much as I can, let's start with

how did you get the phone back to an original state?

[MENTION=5534153]researchmonday[/MENTION] - All links were changed from Bitcasa to my new hosting a few days ago...

[MENTION=5535306]daijl123[/MENTION] - Just waiting on ska for a few things, but I haven't heard from him in a while - probably busy. I will release our beta by next week if we can't get any farther by then.

I am considering making an auto-installer for the recoveries, as well as flashable ZIPs to change between recoveries if you really want to try CWM and TWRP. Would these be helpful for anyone?

Good job! I will test it out on the CM10.1, although, I there is a good chance it won't work. If it doesn't, I'll make us a ROM in the future to use with!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Muriyata:
Finally! Thank you! But i am wondering is the wifi working? Or in general, Is there a significant bug or some weird stuff to be careful about this overclokable kernel? Do i need to do a nandroid before test it?

Waiting the CM release! :laugh::D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] skaskaskaska:
There are three connectors on the left soc side, check the upper connector near the audio jack , and try to seat it again helped by a pair of tweezers.

Be very gently.

There is a white line on every connector (apart from the battery connector which use the same system of macbook pro 2006-07-08, pull up straight) it has to be on the exact point of the beginning of the brown clip when pulled down. Figure out and let me know! (always work without battery attached )

Will post solution for no sim card these days, and will update Heatshiver tomorrow so we can continue the CM developing. Back to work guys :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] daijl123:
I tested it in miui and it worked well with no bug ,you should buckup before test it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Heatshiver:
OK! I have updated the OP with a few things:

1) New custom OC kernel!

2) Newest stock firmware!

3) Hardware fixes for SIM card and touchscreen issues!

Ska and I will be ready with CM shortly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] daijl123:
Can you give me the latest version of cm10.1 rom?i want to test it,not need perfect
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] loechie:
Thank you for the suggestions (also heatshiver) - i have tried it counteless times but no result. After trying that the phone won't even charge anymore... It shows on the screen that it is charging but even if leave it for a whole day it will not charge :( I'm going to get a new phone on Sunday... I really loved the ZTE but started to get messing with it because of the sim problem.

Does the root proces and putting on the Google play also work with any brand of phone ? (i will be getting a phone of the LTJ brand - unknown chinese brand)

Bottom line - don't mess with a smartphone internal wiring unless you really know what you are doing :rolleyes:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Heatshiver:
It does sound like there is an issue with the battery as well... Maybe a connection, or just a bad battery?

The root will not work with any phone, but the Google Play should. There are a lot of tools out there to root many devices, including Chinese brands. Search XDA and you'll find two or three popular tools worth a try.

I agree with your bottom line. I don't like going into my phone if I don't have to. I work with PCs, laptops, graphics cards, etc., but I hate doing it for my phone!

In what part of the world do you live? If you're going to get rid of the U950, I could pay you shipping expenses so I can do experiments with it! Anyways, sorry to hear how it worked out...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] loechie:
Hi heatshiver - thanks for your answer. I live in Belgium (best beer in the world :laugh:)

My girlfriend is Chinese - maybe i will take the phone to China for repair if we go to China next year ....

Sunda i will get my new phone - it is a cheap chinese brand but the specifications look allright. I hope it will work fine... Chinese brand have very high specifications for a low price but unfortunately the build quality is sometimes not so good :rolleyes:

Thanks again for your help !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] natdanai:
Hi.

I bought the phone from china.

I live in Thailand.

Now I also encounter sim problem.

I definitely cannot ship back to China and ZTE does not have branch in Thailand.

Therefore could anyone suggest or have any tutorial to fix sim issue?

Thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] skaskaskaska:
Hello natdanai, I had the first time the no sim problem after one big drop from the height of a tree two weeks ago. Searched something about to fix it since it was my primary phone, the first time i just teared down the phone and reflowed the whole board , both sides, since i didn't know where the modem was located. But after one week the problem came back again, and again more frequently and now it doesn't read nothing. In a Chinese Miui thread there was someone pointing out that the problem is related to a diode, which becomes loose and not providing voltage to the sim card. But no images of the fix, no explanation at all. Also in a lot of chinese forums they are arguing about this problem. I don't really know how to move, it's very easy to open the phone, but not worth without a fix ready. Am still investigating
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] natdanai:
Hi skaskaskaska,

Thank you very much. If you have anything more, Please keep me update too.

Now I think I have to find another phone. (What happened to me lately? I just brick one mtk6589 phone and zte u950 also no signal).:(

I have treid to update ROM on given method (ROM with 4.1.3 Vesrion) but mobiles ends with a screen MI (xiaomi.com)and nothing else.

Please help me out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] skaskaskaska:
If you have custom Recovery, enter by pressing volume down (before) + power (and when you see the zte logo just wait 1 second and release only the power button) , and you should get in recovery, then wipe data + cache (watch out you loose data ) , and wipe dalvik cache. It should start..

Otherwise flash again the rom.

Let me know

(ps it's not 4.1.2, better stick to the lastest official rom + root + custom recovery )

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] skaskaskaska:
Give a look in the first page of this thread, under "get into recovery" there's the translation.

Basically i was asking if you flashed miui over stock rom , without formatting data and cache. Let me know
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] varnyup:
CM?

Any news about CM? I found a new stock rom on zte's website, but i want to flash the CM! :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] skaskaskaska:
Haven't heard nothing new from heatshiver . I think it's busy, so we wait, since i gave all the info i knew to him.

Btw you mean the november rom right? is a good rom ( if you rip off from the zip all the ssh** ) + root + recovery + overclock kernel very smooth .But can't understand why they don't release JB! :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Heatshiver:
The Cyanogenmod (CM) ROM is now ready for download! It has its own section in the thread so you can read a little bit about it.

any problems please post them

here.

I haven't got any time in these days, but my fridend tried the rom. He told me that, when he connect an earphone, (just connect, he doesn't start any application) he hear a sound like "beep", and it repeat after 3-4 seconds (again and again). And it never disappears. He tired to listen music, change sound settings (every sound 0%), but nothing changed. He wrote me some minutes ago, now the speaker also beeping, and it's very irritating.

He should flash the rom again? Have you ever seen this bug?

edit: He flashed the rom 3 times, but the bug still exist.

1) He connect the earphone - start beeping.

2) Unplug the earphone - the speaker start beeping.

3) Reboot - everything all right, until the connect of the earphone.

He read the log - it shows NVaudio error, or something like that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lcq2425:
I'm very glad you and ska have fixed the sound bug of u950 cm10.1 rom,but the data connection problem is still unsolved,it's very inconvinient for I can't reach the internet when there's no wifi,and there're still some small bugs,both of the led are on when charging,and when the battery is beyond 90 or 95 percent,the green led is still on after the charger is disconnected.And when earphone is connected,there will be a beep ,and won't stop before restart.Hope you could fix these problems,thank you very much!

Hi guys, all these problems are kernel related, i've sent a message to heatshiver about that.

It always puzzles me why do people on custom ROMs want to get OTAs?

AT&T JB isn't rolling out yet. When it does, it will get posted in Development in a TWRP-flashable rooted form.

I also doubt the OTA will feature much (if anything) that is not already present in the JB Sense ROMs already up in Development, plus all of AT&T's bloatware crap and other meddling. Possibly including a new hboot that will mess up even more stuff this time.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NicoBNico:
Hey N7 owners, I'm looking too see some examples of art you've created on your N7's using whatever apps you prefer/recommend. If you could share any work you'd like to and some basic info on the app you used, plus any other details that you think are worth mentioning (particular stylus, etc...), it would be much appreciated.

I'm also curious about how you feel the Nexus 7 compares to iDevices, the mini in particular, as well as other android tablets+"phablets" (GN2).

I like to sketch but I've never made any sort of digital art, so I downloaded Sketchbook Express for Tablets and made a spoof sketch to try it out.

It was a fairly good experience overall. I'm considering getting the pro version now which I'm pretty sure is what I had seen on a demo iPad Mini at an apple store. I remember there being more brush options, some of which were pretty cool. Other than that, I don't remember the mini being all too much better than the N7 was today, but perhaps that was only because I was just passing by that time.

Added 1/15

More N7 sketches for motivation n such.

(this one was on pro, but none of the things made available in sketchbook pro were actually used to my recollection)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rtx101:
I tried some drawings on both iPad3 and N7. The app on iPad was Inspire (or something I don't really remember), and on N7 was Sketchbook. On iPad there are bunch of apps that can do dry brush and blurring, smudging. But on android I can't seem to find any drawing app that have such tools. I attach some portraits that I did on iPad with my finger. I would love to use N7 as my drawing pad but that kind of apps on Android really sucks in comparison with drawing apps on iPad (Yes I have to admit that even though I hate iDevices so bad :( )
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] R3dbeaver:
holy ****.

/see_attachments...

holy freakin ****.

:cowboy:

on topic; i use Paper for the iPad to do sketches with my fingers. it's awesome.

nothing i found in Android that can match the cleanliness and.. "fun-ness" of Paper so far.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rtx101:
As you can see, I take it kind of seriously on drawing on tablets. It's so sad that even with this very sensitive N7 touchscreen (you can try using a metal fork or nail...ect. to swipe gently on screen to see it works) we hardly can make such "arts" as fun, easy, fast, as doing on an damn iPad... why so?

Ps: I said "fast" because the above 2 portraits are drawn while I was with them in a coffee shop, they didn't sitting still for me to sketch because we were chatting, drinking coffee... I sketched almost as quick as I do on real paper.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Fumblez:
Sketchbook Pro for Tablets? Oh.. Hmm. I guess they don't have a smudge too. But I know Photoshop does. But then again, you have to use another app. And it's just a hassle.. I'll look though
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Aoi_sora9x:
Just got my nexus 7... and I'm really missing ProCreate for ipad :(

Great sketches! I have Sketchbook Mobile and Sketchbook Pro for Tablets on my N7. SBM seems to have more options (and a higher rating). Here is a review of SBM. Somehow one was a free Amazon app, and the other landed on here from an update.
