Another excellent ROM ported from galaxy s4...I must say this is the best s4 port...and the battery life was really good

In half hour of WiFi surfing usage it only went to 95% from 100% I think ...I did not get this kind of battery life with any other rom

Vodafone UK 2g/3g problem

Thanks for explanation about 2000 = 2100.

The fone is currently connected with EDGE with strength of -97db 8asu.

The Mobile Network State however is showing as disconnected despite Data being enabled.

No E next to the signal meter, likewise, when HSPA is showing there is no H.

Its frustrating as the rest of the fone is great.

Looking for a solution without unlocking it as I have only had it a day.

Thanx.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
Strange ...if your provider has 2100 wcdma ...this phone must work hspa..and edge should work if 3g band is not supported ...you are not getting any of two...really strange..did u try same sim in another phone does it work ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ukg1ixp:
Sadly cannot, the data enabled sim is a Micro. This Zopo is the only one in the house that uses it, Rest of family have Blackberry's (yuk).

The other sim in the fone is a voice only company sim which is why I went for one of these chinese dual sim models so I would have to carry two fones around.

You're correct, its a mystery why it wont connect, I have even re entered the APN detail manually in case of corruption during transmission but still no luck.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
You need some expert in UK who can help you...I am in USA so can't really help ..sorry bro
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lospider:
Manan79, you said that the last rom you mentioned is "the best s4 port" but I saw in the previous page that you're using "geomod rom". Which one is the best? Have you tried the Dezmen ROM (h t t p : //forum.zopomobileshop.com/thread-707-1-1.html)?

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
Haha...the thing is ..I keep trying all the roms And I find new best ones :)

The s4 port is good ...but have minor issues ...not consistent ..sometimes only ...but you can give it a try..very smooth

And geomod and dezmen are almost same I guess default stock stuff with no issues at all..I m looking for a ROM which solves touch issues and should be stable

I like following four in this order...however 3g doesn't work in 1st ..

1. Emotion ui port [3g doesn't work]

2. Geomod

3. s4 port

4. Lewa os lite

5. Dezmen
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hamsteyr:
Tried most of the Roms above, and I loved Lewa, but somehow the Wifi just isn't working for me :( it would connect, but no data would be sent through.

Same goes to most other roms in fact, I got the same problem with Geomod and Dezmen's :\

Surprisingly Red Rice's ROM did fine for Wifi, but the camera was broken, and was a bit more choppier than Lewa.

May just roll back to this guy :http://www.needrom.com/mobile/c2zp980-based-on-stock-android/

I've been pretty happy with this rom.

EDIT: Forget the wifi issues, my other phone was having it as well. Damn router decided to give up on wifi for the first time ever when I'm testing roms.

GG
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
Yeah...none of the ROMs had WiFi issue for me...I liked rom named s4-c2 fix

..it really is smooth but it has issue with 3g sometimes and u have to restart to get around it..I am staying with dezmen ROM for now...will keep a check on upcoming roms and let you guys know ...there is a new miui v7 ROM (11 Aug) available...but I couldn't flash it using twrp...I think it needs Chinese cwm..anyways I will skip it for now and see next week for new ROMs
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lospider:
Thanks for the replies, man! I'll keep an eye on this thread!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hamsteyr:
I found that S4-C2 had a bit of chuggy slow transitions, that made me kinda shy away from it though. Did you get the same problem? I'm currently trying out Lewa for a day (now that I know its not wifi issues)

Do you have the link for the MIUI v7 (11 Aug?) I'm a mild android ROM cooker, and I noticed somehow that "asserts" to verify device ID somehow don't work very well in the ZP980, so removing this line in the Updater script seems to work fine. You could try the same thing too and have a go at the rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pm2lp:
Still nothing from vivigoodshop? I've just noticed that the buy it now price went up and it looks believable now, plus some changes in the store, no more ugly shoes.. btw, my tracking number status says departure from China, everything seems legit so far. ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kalint:
I ordered a phone from that seller and decided to google the seller since obviously something was not ok with the price so low. And here I am in this tread. I am quite concerned- I received one small empty package (weighing 10 grams). The tracking number was the one provided by the seller. However the address on the package and the name were not mine... Therefore the postal office declined to give me the package, they just showed it to me because I had the tracking number and insisted that there is a package for me.

This leads me to the clue that this seller is fake for sure! Another strange situation- some people have received the package in their coutries but still don't get it. This makes me think that indeed that seller is sending something (obviously not Zopo C2 Platinum) and indeed providing tracking numbers but with wrong addres and name (only the city and the postal code is correct).

I communicated that to the seller and he explained that this is not my package (this had been something else for another customer) and it's his mistake and that he will send me a new one. He offered me a refund which I declined for now, waiting for a replacement. Of course if the replacement isn't received within 2 weeks I will need to open a case in Paypal otherwise I will miss the last date for doing so.

I really hope that I am wrong but every brain cell of mine says that this is a fraud. Anyways, Paypal is protecting us and there is no chance that we won't get our money back. Let's wait and see.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
The slow transition in c2-s4 Rom can be switched off in developer options.. Transition scales ! Did you try that? And I will have to find the link for v7 miui later in the day going to office now ... I am using following Rom now. It is Lewa and really good everything works smooth

Hello excuse in this rom there is no Italian?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tc662:
Lewa only supports English and chinese.

You can use the app morelocale2 to change parts of the rom to your language.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hamsteyr:
Nice :D a new ROM to try. No, I didn't do that, buy maybe I should. One thing I noticed with the s4 ROM as well though, was that switching the quick toggles in the notification panel lagged quite a bit. I wonder if this will solve that.

I'm still in love with the butter smoothness of Lewa (2013-7-25) and I've been getting really good battery life (17 hours and 48% left, vs stock rom at 12 hours 18% left). The ROM is not without its issues though, but it's a damn good start.

I'll try the ROM you posted, thanks :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
Here is the link to 11 august update for miui ......as i said i did not try it yet as it did not flash thru normal twrp, let me know if it works for you after modifying updater script...else you will have to use modified chinese cwm version i guess

The lewa link i posted (c2_13.06.26 by AVR74) is also almost same as the lewa you are using , but some how i did not find any issues with that former...so i will use (c2_13.06.26 by AVR74) for sometime i think. Give it a try , and also let me know how miui 11 aug works for u

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hamsteyr:
Thanks for the link, I'll definitely try it out. I'm running into weird problems with my version of Lewa, like Whatsapp contact images not showing up, settings somehow not being saved (runtime apps don't run anymore on reboot) and a keyboard that keeps turning off google keyboard (official) and switching back to Baidu input. I'll definitely try the one you posted up after I give this MIUI a cracking into.

Yes- the latest feedback is mine! I waited for someone else to post a feedback because I thought that there is a small chance that I will get a phone since the seller is pretty convenient and polite. But after seeing that guy's feedback I posted mine as well.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pm2lp:
That sucks, do you guys know if I can report and ask for a refund now or do I have to wait until I get the empty package..?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kalint:
This is a very tricky situation and a clerer fraud :( You can report the item as a fraud for sure, yes. However I am not sure if you open a paypal dispute. I mean- you can open but I am not sure if they will return your money now or they will wait. For sure it's best to report the item. I guess if several people complain then the seller will be banned and everyone will be refunded. Or maybe I am too optimistic.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] roy8846:
Open a dispute in paypal!!

Paypal will ask for proof of address he sent item to, address is wrong = you win claim.

If address is correct then they will ask him for tracking and contact relevant countries to check.

Just got off the phone to paypal and they have to wait 10 days before making a decision ;)

Dont forget to escalate the claim straight away.

Contact your local customs or courier with tracking number and try to find out if the address is wrong etc!

Been without a phone for a month now and lesson learned! I even sold a 4X HD for this phone :(

Only using Aliexpress for China from now on!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
I have similar experience with eBay before - 4 months back , some seller was selling thl w7 for 23$ , i bought it and i couldn't see if they shipped or not because seller was banned from eBay after couple of days, however i received an envelop with a small friendship band kind of thing, and it had Chinese look to it , and of course it came from china address.. but came to my right address... I did not contact pay pal or eBay , i just called my credit card company and they refunded 23$ so all good in the end. ,and i received the friendship band for free :)

And apart from AliExpress, you can buy from DHgate , Banggood, AnteLife, lightake, china24shop.. they all are valid and genuine sellers.

The Miui rom you provided me worked fine once I did some script changes. I'm currently running it on my phone and its quite smooth, almost as smooth as Lewa if not similar. Root is a bit irritating, with like 5 prompts each time, and something about overscrolling looks weird, but apart from that it looks good. Will be running this for a while to see how battery goes, before switching to your Lewa

if i tell from where i get this roms , Nobody will thank me here :) lol.... just kidding, there are 3-4 chinese forums, china iphone.ru , 592zn, 4pda ,most things originate here. you have to sort , and find latest topics, some roms are hidden in threads, not necessary are in headings ...google chrome helps a lot , translating the stuff automatically , and i have to say , this LeWa is really the best one , and i am very sure this time :) unless i see another rom tommorow lol

In the end, it's not about benchmarks, but really how usable the phone is, and you sir, are fulfilling that wish of mine quite well :3 Thanks very much :D

do you know a work around to sort apps ni lewa OS ? , it doesnt sort alphabetically. I tried app called appzorter , but it works only with touchwiz UI,

i dont want to install another launcher for this... let me know if you find anything.

thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tc662:
If you really want the fastest rom, this is by far the best. over 550mb ram free, lightning fast. http://www.needrom.com/mobile/lewa-optimized/

it has its issuess for some people, but if it works for you, it's by far the fastest rom out there.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hamsteyr:
[MENTION=4796745]Manan79[/MENTION] Great to hear that it solved the issues with touch screen. That's why I chimed it over at the GizChina forums as well for those who have been having the same problem. As far as I know, I haven't found a way to sort the apps, mostly because I use GoLauncher EX as my daily Launcher. I'll look into it on next flash, but it will not be until a few hours later (when I battery drain to 0)

[MENTION=4945206]ghost45[/MENTION] I heard about that, and frankly I'm just a little bit disappointed that there was a bit of miscommunication that went around stating that the ZP980 previously had Gorilla Glass. Still, all it just means is that you have to be just that much more careful with your device. Gorilla Glass in the end is just pretty much a brand, I think that what they have on the phone right now is tempered hardened glass, and for most usages, that should do just fine.

[MENTION=1916328]Tc662[/MENTION] Thanks for the share/ better mirror. That is indeed quite a good ROM for the ZP980, and I've used it before, but as I've mentioned before as well, that's the same ROM that I encountered some slight issues with, though I'm not sure if its particularly isolated. Because of that I'm in search of a more stable daily driver Lewa ROM. I've used it before when I played with the Huawei Ideos X6, and it's definitely one of the better ROMs out there. You should flag it such that its not only for the C2, but for the ZP980 though. I saw some of the ROMs posted doing that, and it would certainly help a lot more people find this ROM :)

That said though, is there any problems with running C2 ROMs on the ZP980? What about A and B models though? As far as I know, owning a 32GB with 2GB RAM seems to take every ROM out there without issue.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
Yep most ROMs work in zp980 32 GB which are made for c2 ...and I don't know which version I have there is nothing written a ,b,c or fc ..the lewa optimized is best for 1 gig ram phones...but the last lewa 26-7 c3 is best for 2 gb ROMs..I m still looking forward to that touch firmware which solves my touch issue 100%...it Is solved 98% by ROMs
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hamsteyr:
Good info, thanks.

In a possibly related topic, I think it would be good to start a new thread that compiles most information about the Zopo ZP980 into the first post, including roms, software, and maybe some FAQ based on what we already know that should help a lot of people out there who have this phone but are having similar problems, that it of course, unless it already has one :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wozhere:
I told you guys here and on other forums this vivigoodshop guy is fraud and don't tell people to buy. He only offers refund to stop negative feedback to stop others buying. Even now some will buy from him without reading feedback. Like I said the good Russian feedback was before he ever got anything. Do not remove your feedbacks. These are organized, they open an account & sell cheap stuff for a few years then sell electronic gadgets less than factory gate price that never arrives. I stopped over 30 of these saving tens of thousands of dollars for ebay but told them i don't care about ebay as it has no fraud contacts but to save people from waiting then getting nothing. Ebay sent me many thanking emails.

First open a case and raise a dispute with ebay for quickest result, fast refund raise a dispute case in ebay.

Send messages to ebay. Also email customerhelp@eBay.com (for UK email customerhelp_uk@ebay.com) give the links to page 45 of this thread & tell them to read from there forward.

[MENTION=4796745]Manan79[/MENTION] With the latest Lewa ROM you posted, did you have a problem where it keeps displaying the tutorial for the camera each and every time?

EDIT: There seems to be issues with installing apps via ADB and some widgets (typoclock, bobd3 clock) showing up at all. Unfortunately this means that it doesn't pass my tests :\
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Manan79:
For the camera tutorial , you just have to watch it thru till end once, and next time it wont show up :)

I dont use ADB to install apps , so not really issue for me , however what is the benefit of using adb to install ? , I use titanium backup /restore to do install all my apps every time i install new ROM. and the widgets you mention, that also i don't use , so all in all, for me i think it is very nice rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hamsteyr:
There's plenty of benefits of full ADB commands, though for starters, the apps I develop for android rely heavily on this feature, and this is the first ROM I've seen that rejects adb install, from what I read it's due to a version flagging problem in the ROM itself.

Well, either way, to me the ideal perfect ROM has everything working, and by everything I mean down to stuff like bluetooth tethering for sharing internet connection and full OTG.

I'm trying the older one you posted, 06/26 and that seems to work just fine, so I'm not too sure what's going on.
