USB drive

Hey guys, i cannot install the USB drive.

I have parallers with windows 7 on a mac. i want to repartition the phone so i need the USB drive.

How can i install it?

thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
in build.prop search for the ro.sys.usb.bicr=yes and do it "no"

you can't flash the phone from a virtual machine
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I have disabled vibrate on call connect feature in a rush, when I was leaving for vacations. The way I did it was: decompiled Phone.apk, edited com/android/phone/CallNotifier.smali and disabled the invoke of vibrator function by commenting the following line.

# invoke-virtual {v8, v9, v10}, Landroid/os/Vibrator;->vibrate(J)V

Reducing vibration length instead of disabling it should be also possible. In that same smali there are entries that determine the length. It can be changed as wished.

As for the haptic feedback for other phone functions, I haven't yet searched for those, so can't tell you where to change. The low battery notification mod has been most likely done over forum.china-iphone.ru.

Hello bgcngm in the command line's color bar notification SystemUI I searched and did not find anything.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Have you tried GravityBox? Changing statusbar color is one of its many features. Don't forget to say thanks to [MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION]. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] netra:
I installed, but unfortunately without any effect. Anyway thank you.

Can you add hebrew language for this rom?

Thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] netra:
I put the rom version and am Lewa transparent notification bar.. I have to stay on it even Bruno version will have transparent bar.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ulvergr:
How u putted the lewa OS? Needs flashtool?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] netra:
Install zip from recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ulvergr:
I have try but it stucks on lewa startup logo... I have read somewhere that it needs different flash tool.

From where u downloding the rom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I must ask you not to discuss about third-party ROMs on this thread. :mad: If you want to do so, please discuss it on private or create a proper thread for it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yes, I can do that. You can expect it on the next release. :cool:

What am I doing wrong when I can't get to the Mediatek Engineer mode? With phone dialer, I type *#*#3646633#*#* but nothing happens. I remember it working with my previous V970. I'm using 2.0Mod.

edit: Also I have problems installing the TB_hang-up_fix.zip, in CWM it gives me Status 7 error when I try to install it, (ro.build.product= "ZTE"). I had Etotalk rom and switched straight to 2.0Mod.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Flash CWM recovery that I've released and you'll be able to install the .zip.

BT headphone

When I use the BT headphone, the sound quality is poor. But the BT headphone is OK with another phone.

Any problem is when I end the call using BT headphone, I need to input the SIM PIN again, what is the problem? Thanks!

I tried two BT headphone have same problem, pls help me:crying:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Bruno, thank you.

1. Clear about "vibrate on connect"

2. haptic feedback - clear about no answer

3. low batt notification - our forums have almost the same audience :), so all of us trying to understand what can be updated. Do you have any idea where to look for this parameter?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaKyy:
Thanks, that did the trick.

You have any idea why the engineer mode doesn't work for me? I'll reflash the phone as soon as I'll get the titanium backup completed.

To contribute something back, I noticed there are some missing translations at least with Finnish language. Can I translate them (how?) and send them back to you so you can update the language pack?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pituca292:
Hi guys, at first, sorry about the off topic and about my bad english, I-m from Brazil.

I have an Flying F600 and I have the same problem of internal memory as V987, my phone hardware it's nearly the same from V987 so I want to know if the V987 mod should work on F600. What did you think?

Bruno, it looks like ZTE released B03 firmware recently on their official site. Just for your information :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
ZTE-CN-9B18D-P188F04V1.1.1, custom build B03? Can't find it, can you please post the link?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
If I'm not mistaking, this is the one http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3925918953&uk=1075968050
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Let me check. The latest ROM that available on ZTE website is still based Android 4.1.2.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
http://www.ztedevice.com.cn/support...b4c-4f3c-a260-fb61970e9392.html?type=software

This one is 4.1.2?..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Crazy... I checked that same site before and the latest update was from May 22nd.

Anyway, I'm already downloading it. Let's see if this one brings anything new. I hope that there are real deep changes in such a way that I can easily change lockscreen.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
The last link is for B02, but the latest version is B03. On 4pda guys are saying that sensor buttons improved a lot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Now I got confused, the one that can be downloaded from ZTE website is ZTE-CN-9B18D-P188F04V1.1.1B02 (Build date: Thu Jun 13 12:33:33 CST 2013). The one I got from the link you posted above (not official) is ZTE-CN-9B18D-P188F04V1.1.1B03 (Build date: Wed Jun 26 09:18:55 CST 2013).

EDIT: Okay, you also realized that. Hmmmm... so B03 has better touch sensitivity?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
B02 has it. I'll try to find something about B03.

upd: thanks to guys from 4pda (originally from Chinese forums):

1, optimized for fast boot and screen assistant conflict

2, reducing the minimum screen brightness

3. improve the sensitivity of the touch screen

4, to improve multi-touch performance

And some improvement in flash.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] j4371:
hi both zperetz and bruno

I am Chinese, i just checked the zte link that you guys posted before

and I found under this link

http://www.ztedevice.com.cn/support...b4c-4f3c-a260-fb61970e9392.html?type=software

there is a new update on 27-june (size 402.43MB)

http://devicedownload.zte.com.cn/cn/UpLoadFiles/product/263/soft/2013062715373384.zip

The wording basically saying this file is android 4.2 (upgrade pack)

hope this might help you in any ways.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ulvergr:
Has anyone tryied the update package?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] guesswhoesis:
anyone also had the problem with GPS? it takes quite long to get the position, sometime overs 10 mins...is there some GPS fix?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MSprecher:
When the first fix for GPS does not work, try this:

1. Charge your phone fully

2. Install Mobileuncle MTK Tools from Google Play

3. At Setiings/Locations: deselect or turn off GPS, GPS EPO, A-GPS

4. Tur off your phone than turn it on and turn on wifi

5. At Settings/Location services select GPS

6. At this also select GPS EPO and allow EPO

7. Now go to the EPO setting and start downloading (you need wifi for that) after check the download by the EPO file info. When they all finised with donloadnig go back to "location services"

8. At here select A-GPS (also need wifi for that) and in the pop-up A-GPS settins check that the used network is only home.

9. Go back to the apps and start the downloaded Mobileuncle MTK Tools

10. Go to the menu "MTKEngineerMode", search for YGPS and start it.

11. Now the satellits will appear as red points. Above push "information" and in the upcoming menu at the bottom push frist full than cold. Order very important.

12. Than at the top push "Satellits" than go to your window, balkony or to the street. After a while you will see the red points turn into green.

Hope this helps.

Hi Bruno! Do you plan to release ROM upgrade some time during the following weeks? Cheers!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I obviously plan to release a new custom ROM during the following weeks. At the moment I'm on vacations for three weeks, so I can't tell you when it will be ready. I am now going to try the latest stock ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chonghua:
Hi,

Just wanna confirm if this phone has the IPS display? I contact ZTE, they say it uses TFT capacitive touch screen. Does it really have an IPS? Confused.

Thank you. Hoping for a response.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shark-le:
I had the same problem, and I found this :

It's the same MT6589

For people having problem with Gps..A simple solution to get gps fix within seconds

Note : required a rooted Canvas HD and 3G connection is preferred (2G also works though)

1) Download FasterGPS app from play store.

2) Open the app. Allow the app to have Root access.

3) Now change the continent to Asia and country to India. A message will appear that ' Gps.conf was written successfully'.

4) Activate gps by going to settings-> location

5) Download Gps Test app from play store. Go to an Open space. Open the app. The first lock will take less than a minute. And then successive locks will take 10-20 seconds at max.

Voila..!! Gps is fixed now

[Miscellaneous Android Development] eddydc1:
Hi im thinking of buying this phone! :) It cost about 200 eur , is it worth it? How long battery last? Camera is good? Screen, is that good, because it isnt IPS...? I cant found this device on zte's website, why? Also some sites says this have mtk6589W What does that mean?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaKyy:
I tried bluetooth headset with my phone but can't get the medi a files to play through them. I also have a A2DP device which works fine with media. In bluetooth settings there is only settings for media throughput in A2DP device, not in the BT headset.

Any solutions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chonghua:
yeah, it maybe an IPS, or an IPS in a TFT capacitive touchscreen display, other sites says its TFT but there are some website that wrote its an IPS, looking forward on a confirmation from ZTE or any guy that could say this. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lumianti:
Sorry to get off topic although it relates a bit to the post above.

Does anyone know if it's possible to replace only the digitizer on OGS screens. And if so how much would it cost and if there's a better way than to contact my seller about it? Any additional tips would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gojo.pl:
LCD touch screen & digitizer are coming as one part here. I think it cannot be separated on OGS.

It costs about 50USD. You can find it on chineese pages :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zeroxia:
Hi.

To flash the custom ROM, we need to install the custom recovery (CWM).

To install the custom recovery, we need to use the SP Flash tool.

In the flashing tutorial, it states a "preload" file MUST be present.

And all I can find is these files without anyone containing the "preload":

USB driver: MT6589 USB VCOM drivers.7z

Flashing tool: SP Flash Tool v3.1308.0.125.7z

The custom recovery: V987 CWM Recovery V6.0.3.0.7z

The ROM: V987_Android_4.1.2_V1.0MOD_by_BM.7z

I think that "preload" is the part of a "stock ROM" which is flashable with the SP Flash Tool, but I cannot find such one for V987, can you clarify this? Thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Just ignore it. MT6577 needed that, MT6589 does not. It is safe to proceed with flashing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
You don't need to keep a backup of the stock ROM. It is available for download on the official ZTE website. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kentdream:
Brought 3 V970 for my relatives and friends using bcgngm's rom, which are excellent.:good:

Thank you bcg for making such a great rom.

using zte v889d (old model, painfully slow), i see price of v987 has falling recently and planning to buy a v987 for myself,

how would you guys comment: how good is the v987 with bcg v2.0 rom, any serious bugs or whatsoever?

or shall i wait 2013 Q3 for newer zte phones?

any comments appreciated.:o

P.S. I actually play around with Huawei Acent Mate 6.1 in china(shenzhen), which i find it a fantastic mobile phone and price is reasonable.

any plan to release a rom for that?

links: h ttp://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/huawei-ascend-mate/4505-6452_7-35567052.html
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Well, you can read some of the latest pages to know if V987 is worth buying or not. As far as it concerns to that Huawei, it's out of my plans.... I can't support multiple devices.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] metzner:
I really like the V987 :)

Bruno, I´m not able to change the lockscreen method to move slider in place of press to unlock...anyone adressed this issue earlier?

Kind regards,

Floris
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
That's not an issue... it's just a modification ZTE did to the AOSP lockscreen. I'm trying to bring back the AOSP lockscreen style, but it hasn't been easy and I haven't yet succeed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] metzner:
Ok...thx..I forgot to do a search...I saw that already talked about this...sorry...will be patient and see if you have luck...hope so :)

SDCARD2

After installing this very good ROM without the mod(I only have a 8GB sd and i dont want to loose the extra space) I had problems with some applications because some apps use the unit SDCARD as the external SD but in this ROM SDCARD is the internal space and SDCARD2 is the external SD.

I have done some changes to mount external SD as SDCARD and internal space as SDCARD2.

with root explorer, edit the file /system/etc and open up vold.fstab.

and change the lines

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 emmc@fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0/mmc_host

dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host

by

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 emmc@fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.0/mmc_host

dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host

and reboot

Good news for V987 owners! :victory:

It seems that ZTE is going to release an update to Android 4.2.1. There is a beta ROM floating around in some Chinese forums and I am already using it. So far, it seems to work good, but I will wait for the official update from ZTE to release the custom multi-language ROM. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sathelp:

Hi Bruno, I experienced problem when connecting V987 to computer via USB. It only allows connection to "Built-in CD-Rom".

It does not allow me to select USB Storage/ MTP / PTP etc.

Any help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
That is not an issue, that's the normal behavior of the official ROM. You have to install ZTE drivers that appear in the virtual disk that is mounted on the computer when the phone is plugged in. After installing the drivers you are then able to choose the other options from that menu.

I have read that ROM Manager is not compatible with previous MediaTek based phones and as a result some users got bricked phones... If you want to take the risk, then go ahead. I just don't understand why you would want to go against something that is proven to work... don't forget that SP Flash Tool is the official tool to flash MediaTek based devices...

A lot of guys from 4pda tried and got back to B02 due to sensitivity and "back" button issues.

Okay, that's what I thought. I will check if just using B02 kernel will do the job, while keeping B03 system files.

V987 Dual SIM

Hi

my phone is new and just installed your ROM, all is well however my dual sim function is not working properly. If I am on call on SIM 1 and when someone rings on my SIM 2 they get message on SIM2 as phone is not turned on or not available etc. I have enabled call waiting function on SIM2 but nothing is working so far. I believe if SIM1 is in use SIM2 should say call waiting... but at this moment my phone is not fully functional dual sim phone..

i hope my explanation is simple!!!

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Sorry to let you down, but you bought a dual standby phone, not dual active. That means you can't receive a call on SIM2 while a call established on SIM1 or vice versa. You have to enable call forwarding to voice mail when phone is off.

I have a problem with the home button. It should open the running tasks menu when pressed for long. I have to try several times to get it working, sometimes it doesn't. Usually it just goes to desktop and I cant get it to open tasks.
