Just to remind you all - how good is the phone we bought.

After being chosen as the first model to carry all major chinese smartphone OSs

v987 has another nice chinese android OS - ShenduOS:

ShenduOS released its first MTK build yesterday, model is v987.

No other MTK phone can compare with that kind of developer attention...

:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kentdream:
my 2cents, i had replace the screen twice(drop, screen broken)

so i am using the 3rd screen assembly right now.

below photo may help to explain why the back button aren't sensitive.

so far i run through 3rd set of screen, didn't apply any of these tricks, but i don't find the back button causing any trouble at all.

the method from baidu, to heat up with a hairdryer, helps the back button film sheet re-stick to the glass again.

for those who had their screen broken and need replacement, while installing the new screen, stick 0.5mm double side foam type on bottom near option and back button.

my guess is the adhensive was not placed evently between the glass and digitizer during manufacturing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] d00lar:
hi

thanx for advice

just to be clear

you put osme litle peace of double side tape inside there where on photo is your screwdriver ?

Bruno, new versión or update with Nexus 5's Apps? :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yeah, but maybe only when roll out of all Google apps is complete.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gojo.pl:
you mean this? looks interesting :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yes, but I'm not sure about the compatibility of the new Google Experience Launcher. Clock and E-mail should work fine (although I have to test first)... all the rest can be integrated without any problem because are the ones that Google updates through Play Store.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
Excellent news!

Yeah Bruno, I installed Google Home (Launcher), Google Play Services 4.0, Google Search 3.0, Keep, Google Docs, Gallery, Play Games and works fine everything.

Doesnt work Clock, Calculator and some app more..

I am wating for your update! :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KopiJahe:
[MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] can you show me how to change the lockscreen from "Long press to unlock" to slide one? I really miss that feature :rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:
4.2.1 on Lenovo A820

Bruno, thanks, infrared developed your ROM for Lenovo A820, I have just installed, put on GravityBox 2.6.7, seems it will work smoothly.

This is also a cheap phone for family members (like as ZTE V967S - but totally different!).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsiglas:
Bruno do we have any news about this?

Is it posible to hapen?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I'm afraid I don't have time to check that right now. Just doing a maintenance release with new apps from KitKat, but that's all for now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wolfillete:
Hi Bruno! Could it be possible that you make this same rom for v967s? Is basicaly the same phone just changing the camera and screen resolution (5MPX and qHD)

The custom rom for v967s sucks and yours could be an amazing option to this little brother!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Sorry, but no... please read.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wolfillete:
Ok, thanks. My bad.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Get stock ROM and my custom ROM for V987, decompile the following files and make a diff on the .xml and .smali:

framework-res.apk

- res/layout/keyguard_glow_pad_view.xml

- res/layout/keyguard_selector_view.xml

android.policy.jar

- com/android/internal/policy/impl/keyguard_obsolete/LockScreen.smali

- com/android/internal/policy/impl/keyguard/KeyguardSelectorView.smali
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Okay, the new release is up! Please note that if you want to choose which apps should be installed you have to select custom installation type. There's no need to clear userdata (so uncheck wipe /data) for those coming from the previous release.

Enjoy! :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Pe3ball:
You mean to replace them in a already installed stock rom or to a flashable?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Of course not. I only pointed out the files that need to be changed (make a diff between the stock and the modified files). Then you have to adapt to your special case. It involves decompiling and recompiling .apk and .jar files. Anyway, let's keep on topic from now on.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Pe3ball:
OK thanks a lot. Good job on your rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:
I tried it with custom installation, as always. The camera app is less convenient, and the video quality is very low. May be I did something not so but I return to the former ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
It is a new camera app. Stick to the stock one or install both.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:
Double apps

Yes, with the former ROM I had 2 Camera apps (one like this was not also working properly) and 2 Galleries, I did not understand why. Thanks for your reply.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
If you install both that is normal, because in JB the Camera and Gallery apps are one .apk only.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
New version of GravityBox was released. Download from link bellow and flash through CWM recovery.

Don't forget to say thanks to C3C076.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
Thanks you Bruno for new update! Thanks you boss! :laugh::good:

Testing now :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MSprecher:
Me too, thanks Bruno. The new possibility to have different ringtones for each sim is worth a donation!!

Matthias
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Thank you very much!

Just a note: Dual SIM Ringer has to be launched via GravityBox.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] b3rok:
Great mod, great last update. Small donation from me (number of donation: 4BY561981F702750G). Keep up with good work!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:
Stock camera/gallery apps

Hi, bgcngm,

As I watch my videos, I see that the 4.1.2 stock camera app is the best, it keeps the autofocus well during taking video shots, I used it from May to August.

The latest camera apps can not ensure stable autofocusing if the subject has not enough contrast.

How could I use this camera app from 4.1.2 ROM with the latest ROM? Is it possible to include this also as an option, or to install by a fix (patch)?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
I have problems with launcher! Lagg when i open the app's box! And when reboot the phone.... Every app is out of desktop!

(Sorry,my english is poor)

Enviado desde mi ZTE V987
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Which launcher? I'm using Google Experience launcher and haven't found any problem so far.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
With Google Launcher, When I open the app drawer there is a 2 second delay that Nova or another launcher I have not. The other problem is that if I put an app (located on the microSD card) on the desktop, restarting the phone, removing the desktop app.

And the last bug, when you're in the app drawer and you press the "Menu" options are displayed behind the application and does not allow him.

EDIT:

I have an app called "Sim Toolkit" and uses SIM2 icon. I have only one SIM and when I open it says "App isn` t installed "

(Google traductor)

Thanks for all Bruno!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wywern.pl:
Hi Bruno,

I'm using your mod (still v2.0) with Ultimate Caller ID Screen app.

And there is a small problem in UCS - it cannot show on which SIM card incoming call is coming. ROM can do it.

So I'm thinking, could you tell me which app in ROM shows incoming call screen, so I could try decompile and transfer identification to UCS?

I'm not experienced android developer, but I think it's worth to try
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kentdream:
yes i did.

0.5mm double side foam type.

i believe the foam type help to force the digitizer closer to the glass.

:good:Pros: this phone is very good value for money. :mad: cons: the glass is unbelievably fragile.

---------- Post added at 04:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 AM ----------

thanks for your hard work on new version. :highfive:

for no need to clear userdata, does that mean we can upgrade the 3.1 os without need to reinstall everything and settings?

just in case, if i wish to revert to rold v3.0, is that possible ? (not reinstall everything back)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yes, exactly as I wrote. If you uncheck "wipe /data" before installation then userdata is kept.

There's no reason to go back to the previous version because no system apps were changed. Everything that worked before must continue working the same way.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
Bruno, can you say something?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tommygogo:
Hi Bruno,

Are you going to issue custom rom for HTC One Dual Sim? Thanks,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:

:good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dakok:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
You are in the wrong thread. I said many times: no support will be provided to other custom ROM besides the one you can get here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
If you think that Nova or other 3rd party launcher is faster and more suitable to your needs, then stick to it. You can't blame me for that. As for the other "issues" you mention, it's the same here. Note that Google Experience launcher was released for Nexus 5, so it may be not yet mature.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
Bruno I do not blame him, he simply would have mentioned my experience with V3.1. I am very happy with your work, you have given life to this phone. Sorry if something has upset you.

A greeting and thank you from Spain.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
No worries, I understood what you meant. I just wanted to make clear that Google Experience launcher may have its own immaturity issues. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kentdream:
understand, :good: thanks for your great effort. old settings were retained and everything seems normal
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsiglas:
Bruno thanks very good job....the rom works great.....

You deserve another donation from me....8Y5307527E685261T....

I will be very happy if you could find time to solve the problem with the associated sim as i describe a few posts back...

Thanks again for your excellent work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] patrikson:
Bruno, thank You, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Well done with new relase.

I agree with request above, with that SIM association. I'm making a lot of calls from different sim cards, and choosing every time which one to use is making my life much more complicated ;) Specially when i'm driving a car.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaKyy:
Thanks for the update! Only thing not working for me are the icons disappearing from desktop during reboot with the new launcher. Only the programs that are located in internal storage are left in place.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lumianti:
Bruno, It's probably idiotic question but I can't find Google experience launcher itself nor can I find settings for it... Is it integrated in v3.1 or is it just functionality that is built-in and I need to download apk anyway. Also, do voice commands (like sending a text msg from google now screen) work on your ROM? And lastly, I found a voice unlock apk. Does it work? I'm asking because it got me wondering if it's possible to implement launching google now just using your voice (which is said to be working only on MotoX SoC and Snapdragon 800)

I ran update via custom this time and I got launcher running now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ndouchin:
I have some FC with camera each time i want to exit from camera app with back button.

I flash the last version of your custom rom without wiping data. Anyone else has this problem?

I have also one auto reboot two days ago.

Anyway, good rom Bruno !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] victors:
Yes, some FC with camera for me too
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Camera from Android 4.4 has some issues and regarding latest Gallery only recently realized that it requires API 19 for edit features.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Does anyone knows a good Android 4.2.2 stock ROM (not custom ones like Lewa or MIUI) from another MT6589 based device that I can use to port? The idea was to bring 3G switch feature into V987. With that, it could also be that SIM contact binding would work out-of-the-box.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ndouchin:
what about this one:

http://www.needrom.com/mobile/gt-i9500-2/

android 4.2.9(!) , S4 clone...

on other site , spec says android 4.2.2..:

http://www.chinaecarts.com/samsung-...nch-mt6589t-android-42-16gb-phone-p-3919.html..

lenovo S960 is in 4.2.2 , rom in needrom as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Thanks, but those skinned ROMs are trash. I want to work over a vannila ROM, as much similar as the ones released by ZTE. The ones from Lenovo are not example either because of too much customization from manufacturer.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
Bruno, can you add support to enable 3G to second sim slot, like in other mediatek phones?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wilcovh:
is bruno not trying to realize this? read a few posts back
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yes, but:

I'm still searching for a good 4.2.2 ROM...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
ok i m blind:(

I m dealing with many many chinese phones, i don't think there is 4.2.2 rom for mtk6589, only some samsung-cloned that just have the newer libraries. But the thl w8 for examble has 3G switching option (at least in C3C076's rom), w8 framework can't be ported to v987?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Most likely can, but I was willing to take a further step by also providing the 4.2.2 upgrade. I have a Lenovo S6000-H tablet (MT8389 based, similar to MT6589 but for tablets) which is running Android 4.2.2 for almost 3 months.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wolfillete:
What about Jiayu G3S?

Found this rom: (translated from 4PDA) http://translate.google.com/transla....ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=398896&st=11200

Hmmm... seems that I have to get it over the air. :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dakok:
As you can read in the linked post from official zte forum,

it is FOTA: Firmware Over The Air release, so we can presume

it is somewhere in the air.

:D

There is no dload link, one has to have the official release

on to be able to find the update option in settings.

That's my point of view, I might be wrong, though. :)

[MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION]

Why reposting the forum link?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yes, I read that users were receiving the OTA update. One thing that makes me curious is that one user reported that development options menu had disappeared. This is normally a sign of Android 4.2.2, although there's no mention about it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Maybe not Bruno,

the v970 (smart a18) got an official OTA update, and the only new changes is that the update, deleted the engineer mode (apk), re-locked the Phone and the dev options where gone too. :/

[MENTION=5366803]dakok[/MENTION]

Dint saw that the link was already posted, i was half-sleeping at that hour...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
We look forward a new update!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yesterday night I installed stock ZTE ROM fro V987 and tried to grab OTA update without success. I first tried with SIM cards disabled (Wi-Fi enabled) and got an error message. Then enabled the SIM cards and got the message that phone is already up-to-date. I suspect that only China Unicom users are able to receive FOTA... so, unless someone shares the OTA update or ZTE decides to publish the full ROM on their website we're stuck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Update: FOTA update has been generously sent to me by [MENTION=5368856]iRuan[/MENTION]. I'll install the update and do some tests to check if it's worth to release a new custom ROM.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lumianti:
Hi everyone.. looked pretty much everywhere but I couldn't find an answer for my question nor a dedicated thread for such topic so I'm hopeful I'll find my luck back here:

Is it possible to switch speech-to-text language on google now via tasker? I have recently started using Google Experience Launcher, however, english isn't my native language and GEL doesn't support voice commands (or voice activation) in my mother tongue. I tried using english version but obviously it doesn't recognize my contacts, name of the streets, and I can't send text messages not looking like an idiot. So I was wondering if its possible to say command in english and then when google now asks me about the details switch speech-to-text to my language before the next step?

I'm sure it would be pretty useful for everyone who lives in a country where official language is anything but English.

Thanks in advance! :)

Sorry, but I have been so busy this week that I haven't even fully tested the new update. The only thing I've done so far was to flash kernel and use new modem baseband and libraries. I have to evaluate if it is worth to release a complete new update if there's nothing new besides that. What I would consider worth was the fix for SIM contacts binding.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] panospc:
I tried the kernel from FOTA v1.1.3. The sensitivity of hardware keys was very low with higher delay. I went back to B03 kernel
[Miscellaneous Android Development] metzner:
Bruno, any idea how to fix this? Gallery not responding error is quite annoying :-/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] onizukao:
Can you explain how to test the new kernel?

Thank you!

Inviato dal mio ZTE V987 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I have to disagree with you, in my opinion it is better. B03 kernel was the worst by far.

It simply won't be possible. The next release will have the old Camera/Gallery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
Waiting for the update :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] panospc:
You can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r0fth7whj4mgg27/ZTEV987_v1.1.3_Kernel.zip

Just install the zip file through CWM \ TWRP recovery. Make sure you have a nandroid backup before flashing.

I never had the back button problem with B03 kernel. The Long press of hardware keys is not working half of the times with v1.1.3 kernel. Maybe there is a difference in sensitivity between ΖΤΕ v987 devices. On my device B03 > B02 > v1.1.3.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
Testing kernel. :good:

+700 points on Antutu. Sensibility OK!
