I had similar problem. There was a big difference in touchscreen resposiveness between my old Huawei and Zopo ZP980+. Usually I had to press 2-3 times to force it to respond. Now it is better. What did I do? I rooted my phone and wanted to upgrade it with custom rom. Upgrade was not successful (Failed). Before upgrade I did wipe cache/delvik/factory reset, so I think that this helped. So I suggest you to enter CWM/TWRP and do this wipes and factory reset. It obviously helped me.

I have the 1G ram 16G rom version C2 Platinum and have somewhere between 100 and 300mb of free memory. I do use the broom (clears memory) frequently. Over here you can get Miui latest version: http://www.miui.com/download-86.html, I recommend using Chrome for translation ;). The developers of Lewa looked at Miui I think, because there are some similarities. Big difference is that Lewa has official support for C2/ZP980 and Miui doesn't.

About ghost touch, I haven't experienced that in any rom I've used.

Edit 1: One thing I just remember, and could be important when choosing between Lewa and Miui, Miui only supports 3G on the

small

sim. Also, don't forget to remove pin protection from any simcard before flashing as Miui does not support it.

Edit 2 : Just installed (OTA) the latest weekly update 3.11.8, and I seem to have more free memory, +350MB. Nice :)

seems to be great ROM. Is it upgradeable? thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Igoritza:
Use MTK engineer mode to boost volume (boosts hardware electric current, not a software tweak) and set it from 130 to 160. you will get a sound quality better than most of high end android devices.

Hi,

is there someone who knows a good mirror for the official LewaOS?

The server on their website is soooooo slow :mad: 21h downloading :silly:

Once Again, im suggesting everyone not to install custom roms because stock + Xposed & Gravitybox are the best choice. they do:

fix bugs

fix MTK specific bugs

inject code into stock rom (you can make it literally like Cyanogenmod)

On top of that, Xposed enables you to choose options that YOU want, so you are the orgaizer of your own rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
I tried that for a while, using Gravitybox. But the main issues I had were with taking pictures, all pictures had strange discolorations, and the battery wouldn't charge after connecting it by USB to my PC. I had to re-calibrate the battery with an older CWM.

I tried stock camera and Lenovo SuperCamera btw.

I know maybe this question was asked before, but what rom would you choose between MIUI and LEWA ? Which has better battery life and better support? Please help me, guys... Now i have butterfly Miz z2 rom, a very good rom, but I'm a heavy user, and I want at least a day of battery life... From my researches it seems that these two roms are quite similar, but you need to flash gapps... Best regards.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] matthewtech770:
I'm running the MIUI Launcher from the Google Play Store on top of Zopo 4.2 Stock just have to say it looks great did not have to root that's the great thing about Android fix it how you want it to look.:laugh:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] comiflor:
Thank you for your answer, but I'm more interested in the battery life of these two roms... I need any opinion from anyone who used any of these roms.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
You should try them and judge for yourself, because I think it's a matter of opinion/feeling. They look pretty similar and are highly customizable. I tried them both, and am currently still running Miui. They both have their pro's and cons. For instance, Lewa does have an official rom for our Zopo and Miui is an unofficial port. What I think is a great feature, what you wont find in stock Android, is permission management, you control what an app can access in your phone. Lewa has full support for dual sim, and in our Zopo you can switch 3g without switching simcards, also anti-virus is buildin. In Miui I like having 1 mail client for all my mail accounts, including gmail and ms-exchange. After some testing I think that Lewa is a bit quicker. Battery life is about the same. My battery, with my kind of use, lasts about 2 days. That is with 3g on, wifi on, bluetooth off, gps off, lots of browsing and chatting/mailing/texting, and I don't listen to music on my phone.

Just my 2 cents ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] comiflor:
They both have full english support?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
Yes! Otherwise they wouldn't be so widely used I guess.

Downloading and installing Lewa can be a challenge, because that's all in Chinese. You should manage when using Chrome with translation on. If you do need a bit of help there, let me know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] comiflor:
Ok, I will let you know...thanks a lot :)

:crying:Hello can you tell me how you got Miui Rom installed i just install clockworkmod on my phone I just install the samsung s4 rom that is working but when I install Miui I get Assert era status 7 I have a B ver. Zopo 980 16gig :crying:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] joeri1985:
Open updater script with your pc and remove the first line codez assert ... . then put the text to line 1 and save. Ow yeah what i forgot' open thd file with winrar then drag the file to your desktop, edit the file and drag and drop back in winrar. This ask replace the file.take yes and put the file on sdcard and enjoy.

For the other quistion miui, lewa . jg77 is right, lewa is quicker, batt the same i got a whole day with lewa. Miui i always said was more stable but now the version 11/08 from lewa is magnificient and much snappyer as miui.

For both roms the best you can do is to go to dev.settings and set transition sc

Ale and the 2 other at zero and then it's very fluent. I don't go back to stock. Only minor but it don't bother me cause i can english is that the dictionary is also english even the local system languege off the keybord is set to dutch.

Great! Can you share a link to the rom you used? I'm not sure who and why you can get the error. I thought it's something about the name of your phone, like zp980 or c2.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Igoritza:
Few more tips for 980/C2 owners:

- OBB installation applications work 100% of the time: if you restart the device once installing

- Maximum score for Antutu is 17300 and wouldnt want to try harder (same as Galaxy S3 for example)

- Screen protector for this phone, the one that comes by default is the best screen protector ever, wish bigger companies would do it like that. It is thick, it doesnt peel off easily, and wont let air & dirt under it. If in any case you take it off accidentally, you can buy a new one via zopomobileshop

- there are chinese bumpers for this phone - search your local shady chinese all-stuff selling stores. Amazingly they have much more in offering than online stores. I found one and it is 1 euro, in an almost-village place that has one chinese store in suburban Belgrade, Serbia. Fits perfectly

- It turns out that even though screen doesnt have plastic frame, it wont break immediately. I dropped my device before putting bumpers on, from 1 meter height (waist height) and it fell onto wooden floor tiles and it didnt scratch even.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
Can you explain this a bit more? Thnx :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Igoritza:
Many large apps (games) require data files which are stored in Android/OBB folder. APK iz like a windows .exe file that runs the app but data is taken from OBB file.

whether you installed it via play store or untrusted source, many apps with data files wont run on this phone, but once you restart the device, it runs :)

error installing lewa

I've tried to install lewa..but i get an error "buildprop zpc2 jb2" or something like that, now my device is named Z2...(I use butterfly rom), how can i make my phone to be named again "C2" ? Should I install the stock rom?? really don't know what to do... :( I installed the stock rom but now the phone is called ZP980 :( help please
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
You can follow the exact instructions that come with Lewa, that is installing stock recovery and rom via sp flash tools, and then apply the lewa zip. (this way your phone gets completely wiped, including sd/phone memory). the other way is opening the zip file in for instance winrar, go find the updater-script file (somewhere in meta-inf\com\google\android\ ) and remove the entire assert tag. This is where the install script checks the phone. If you would remove assert tag completely till the ; then the check is gone and the zip can be flashed through recovery (cwm or twrp). Don't extract the zip just open it, change the script and update the zipfile when asked.

Good luck :)

Hello, got my new zp980 2/32GB. need root help

Hello,

I just got my new zopo 980

android 4.2.1

kernel 3.4.5

Build 173942

in the back it doesn't say A not B, so I guess it's "A" version (?).

I have not much idea to to roon the device (gor example I would really like to use Titanum backup which needs root.

Can someone please explain step by step how to root my specific device?

I understood there are 2 main ways to acheive that: one of them is to flash a new, rootted rom (custom rom).

The second way is to follow some steps to gain the root access.

If later on I use the built-in system update application (wireless update from zopo), will it delete my root access? will it replace the custom rom?

Do the custom roms contain all the languages and interfaces that come to the conventional android rom?

any help will be greatly appreciated

Thank you very much,

Dan
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
If you look at the flash (brush) tutorial of Lewa they provide you with a download link to a stock rom and recovery. Please follow that tutorial and it will work. Make sure you backup everything on your sd-kaart/phone memory because everything will get wiped.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

From the information you give us I cannot determine what model you have. Not that it matter much ;)

Rooting is very easy if you use Framaroot. You can download it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2130276. If you leave the framaroot APK on your SD and you would flash a rom which isn't rooted, you can root your phone again just by running the APK.

After you gained root, you should download mobileuncle toolbox from the playstore. You can install a new recovery (if you downloaded one) with mobileuncle, so no need for sp flash tools. Also booting into recovery is easy with mobileuncle toolbox.

After flashing a custom rom you won't get ota updates from Zopo. (you won't need them either)

The support for multi languages is different for every rom. If you get a custom rom based on stock/aosp you have multi languages, if you would install Miui or Lewa you have English or Chinese most of the time.

Hope this helps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] qwertyxx:
Thank you very much for your answer, it does help :)

I want to make sure I got it and ask a few more questions:

I'll put farmaroot APK on my SD in order to root device. After that point, the device is rooted and I can use titanum backup?

Would you recommend the installing a custom rom? is so, which one? (should be multilingual).

I'm just wondering what are the pros of a custom rom comparing to a simply rooted device.

Ps. what additional information is needed in order to determine the exact model of my zopo980 2/32?

-Dan
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
You download Framaroot and place it on your SD. Then you install it, and run it. After that your device is rooted and Supersu is installed. You can use any program which requires root :)

Installing a custom rom is totally up to you! I'm very happy with Miui at the moment but that is only in English, also Lewa is very nice and fast (only English and Chinese). Have a look at Needrom.com, there you will find lots of custom roms for our ZP980/C2.

If you would only root and keep your stock rom, I advice you to look at Xposed Framework and GravityBox. With those tools you are the boss of your rom and you can change whatever you like :).

Thanks for replying jg77:good:

I really like the specks on the zp980 but since Zopo is no commercialized in my country I am kind of hesitant on buying it because of some bad feedback related to the digitizer and in case assistance is needed it will always implicate time and costs since there is no local assistance. I am also considering the zp990 (2gb/ram) but there is also a lot of bad feedback related to the GPS receiver...I really don't know what to do, some advice from experienced users is appreciated :confused:

I just bought a Zopo C2 32GB model. It is perfect, kinda. It does not pick up a Ton of GPS satellite's, but it gets enough. There are GPS tweaks that help a lot.

Since root I got multiple crashes (about 6 so far). not sure if connected to the rooting.

Fortunately the phone reboots really fast' less than 10 seconds, but it's stull a bit annoying.

I'm wondering if it's related to the fact that's I'm using 2 sim cards... dunno.

is there a way yo remove the melody at startup? I wouldn't like to get a crash during a meeting and get the noisy stratup sound.

Thank again.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jg77:
The reboots are not related to the root I believe. Did you install any other app which could cause this? I'm using 2 simcards so that is not the problem. The startup melody will be removed once you install another Rom :)

It could be a Windows 7 64-bit issue. I my self never had a bad experience with this, but I read about others who do. But then if you would use a Windows XP computer, I are probably going to install the drivers, so it could also be a driver problem to start with...

What exactly are you trying to do, and do you get an error message?

You could give firmware zp980 20130818 - 173942 Rev B a try. If you read back this thread you will find someone who had the same issue.
