Hello Bruno and others.

I got phone yestarday from China.

It already had instaled V1.0MOD :D so Chinese spared my time of installing CWM. I just installed V2.0.

Everything works flawlessly.

I don't have problem with back button.

GPS fix (without EPO and A-GPS) needs several seconds :cool:, and inside my house some 15 seconds. Can't believe :D.

Phantastic phone.

I found out it's not Bruno's ROM problem, it's actually ZTE feature :silly:. Yes, you read it well.

My friend bought ZTE Blade III in Telenor Serbia, and it has the same annoying feature which drives him crazy, too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gojo.pl:
Volume buttons issue solved. Yes, you read it well. Browse thru the thread. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
That is most likely going to happen during the weekend.

Today I will finish adding multi-language support to the ROM and then run it for a few days to make sure everything is okay. :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stvgr:
Sorry I write it again but I would like someone help me, please.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I don't understand the need of quoting so many posts... What is exactly your problem? Can't install Nova Launcher? Which custom ROM do you have installed and how are you trying to install the app? Through Play Store or sideload?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Still ready for beta testing ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I don't think that is needed anymore. It was only necessary in case I would go forward with the idea of porting framework from another device. The base features are fully tested as I was already using the ROM before going to vacations. Lockscreen is working great, so no big deal.

Thanks anyway, to you and everyone else that offered help. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stvgr:
i have 2.0v bruno 4.2.1 - internal memory re-partition - CWM

base and first problem:

I have problems with the v987, he put CWM I've done repartition'm working with 2 sim and I have tried in 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 but my dialer crashes exactly there where the phone works fine comes a time when they can not call and also that moment if I say I do I call somewhere I write that can not be made the call, I restart and again but he works it again after some time .... DO vaguely I do not understand something specific ... . too bad thing to lose CallsList .... what to do guys against someone else this problem;;;

second problem:

is that once you go to make installation of the nova launcher prime makes restart, I can not install it. I have bought over the play store

third problem:

they call the numbers I have stored and do not display this contact, my only displays the number, from what I have understood blame Phone Country prefix
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Never had that problem. Could be a 3rd-party application messing with the system. I suggest your to re-install the ROM as the other user did and it should be okay.

Internal memory repartitioned... using the first method (full userdata without internal sdcard) or the second one (smaller internal scard partitions, but still enabled)? Make sure you use the second method, as the first is only working good with Android 4.1.2 custom ROM.

Install GravityBox (alread mentioned before in the thread), and enable the fix to that problem. It seems that it depends from country to country, from network operator to network operator. In my case, and many other users, there is no caller-ID problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kentdream:
I'm a hong kong guy. Brought v987 from Shenzhen(china) yesterday.

Phone build: 2013 June. (heard this is the lastest batch production)

Installed 2.0 rom with 2Gb_usrdata repartition

- no back button issue

- screen backlight has a little "light leak" on lower half of screen, manufacturing minor issue.

- battery can last around 33hours before need to recharge (3G sim + 2G sim active.)

- wifi disable/enable switch(from pull down from top), sometimes doesn't work, has to enter settings menu by click on/off

no other problems found.

would love to see the installer come with a choice of boot screen selection like the v970 rom does. ;)

Your rom work as great as the old v970. Your rom rocks !:good:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaKyy:
Hi Bruno

Is the Gravitybox mod pre-installed in your future release? I tried to install it but none of the settings work for me. I installed the framework first and followed the instructions but I'm apparently doing something wrong.

Looking for an easy way out ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
You are surely doing something wrong because GravityBox works flawlessly on ZTE V987, using my Android 4.2.1 custom ROM. Nevertheless, don't worry because it will be integrated into the next release as I already obtained permission from the developer (thanks [MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION]). ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] eddie-lu:
I can confirm it - gravity box was installed on my ZTE v987 without problem. Just follow the instruction.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
Please any help? It may save me from sending the phone to china:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I'll make the backup tonight. Sorry for the delay, but I was hoping that someone would make it in advance... :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
me too but nobody did it, so save me please :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Here is the backup. Use with care and good luck! I hope you can bring phone back to life! It does not include userdata and system, but hopefully it should be enough to get it into a working state so that you can flash CWM recovery.

EDIT: Warning to normal users: Do not use this files unless you know what you're doing. You won't probably need this.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demstav:
Any news on the new release? The back button problem is killing me.

How can i find out the built date of my phone btw?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
This problem did something to your eyes also, as Bruno has preliminary announced release for this weekend 20 posts ago.

By the way, I'm not sure about solving this issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dakok:
Hi everyone!

My first post here :)

My phone arrived with Bruno`s rom v4.1 and CWM 6.0.3.0. on.

Rom was very smooth and responsive.

Then I couldn`t resist to flash Baidu 4.2 and Miui 4.2 roms.

First one was bad, phone heated when I tried camera app (Lenovo Super Camera - great app, btw)

The other one was OK, but not as responsive as Bruno`s, and it consumed a lot of ram.

I paid $239 + postage at Hotmid, now it went $20 down.

Great phone, this v987 - besides not-so-good back cover. Everything else is way above my expectations...

Almost forgot this one :), - well, after Baidu 4.2, I flashed bruno`s 4.1 nandroid backup, but got error after boot:

something about damaged internal memory.

I was frozen, really.

Then factory reset in CWM and all was fine again :)

Anyone knows what happened?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I have decided to make you all a surprise and just released the new update. Go to the first post, read change history, grab the file and enjoy! :laugh:

For those that asked for Hebrew language support, I kept my word and added it along with some other languages. I hope you all like it and can be thankful for that. :fingers-crossed: Please remember that every donation is highly appreciated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wolfillete:
Done ;) . I can't wait to test it!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
As a quick-side note, you may notice that GravityBox is now integrated into the ROM, as I previously announced. There is no need to install Xposed framework or activate the module as it works out-of-the-box. Those users that never tried it before, it works great in V987 and includes amazing tweaks, some of which I was used to include in my custom ROMs. It is worth to give it a try and explore that app.

Don't forget to say thanks to its developer ([MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION]) or even better, sending a donation for his work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vali2006ro:
Thanks Bruno!

I have a question : Does the ROM work with "V987 extended userdata mod" or "V987 extended userdata mod2 - 2GB_USRDATA" ?

Thank you again. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
In theory, it works with both modifications, but there were some unexpected problems when Android 4.2.1 was released making it work with the first one (fully disabled internal sdcard). Having said that, it is highly recommended to apply (if not yet applied) the second modification.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vali2006ro:
Indeed I have tried the first one and with v2.0 ROM and had some problems, one was that the phone rebooted when I tried to install SuperSU Pro license :)

I applied the second modification and it works without any problems.

Anyway I will give it another try (the first modification) to see how it acts.

I will post back the result.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Not sure if it is worth to give it a try. Nothing was changed in respect to that, so I would stick with the working setup as it is proven to be stable. Besides, 2GB of space for userdata it should be more than enough for the majority of users. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
Thank you very much bruno! Now of course i don't have imei, the method for mtk6577 works on mtk6589 too? I ve never tried that however
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Have you managed to unbrick it? :) Unfortunately the most known methods don't work for V987. The best tool for that is Maui META 3G. Grab version 6.1244.1 from the same folder where you can get SP Flash Tool. You have to connect the phone in META mode. I'll try to get you a link with a video that shows how to do it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dakok:
Is this of any use for unbrick?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943442
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
May be, may be not as it can create even more confusion. Let's not discuss about that because it seems that gerstavros is close to have a working phone again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Bruno, amazing news, thank you! :)

Back to v1.0 with ext. userdata - Flash Tool is the only chance to upgrade to v3.0?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yes, it is as of this moment. I have been busy at work and didn't have time yet to work on an alternative method for that, sorry. :o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
For first i ll try to copy nvram from other phone, as using same imei in two phones isn't a problem in greek carriers, but i ll wait for the right way too! mtk6577 way didn't worked, phone still have no imei
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Okay, using NVRAM data from another phone is a good approach taking into consideration that yours was erased. At least you can get the network connection back and afterwards use to tool to change IMEI numbers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] onizukao:
Installed the v3.0 on a v987 already repartitioned with "Meteos mtk6589 Rom Edit" (2.5gb data partition) and it's perfect! :good: Thank you!!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I have just realized that I forgot to add the buttons with Russian letters to the phone app (dial). I'll re-upload the ROM with those changes, later in the evening. :cool: You'll have to re-install the ROM, sorry for that. :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
O_O

How could you :)

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Sorry guys, had no chance to catch the damp posts :( On 4PDA we have some full (except usredata) for bricked units. If still need - can give the links.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Download link was removed because ROM will be updated due to the above reason. Will be back in about one hour or so. I'll inform here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ulvergr:
Bruno it is possible to tell us the way how to return back the phone on stock condition(when we have make the extended partition)

Thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Inside the .zip file you've downloaded with the modified files, you'll also find a folder named "stock partitions". Inside it are the files that you need to flash (using SP Flash Tool, with the same method as described in post #4) to revert phone into stock condition.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Okay, the new link is up! :silly:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kielkiam:
Many thanks for your work :good:

I would ask information about partitions mod.

I have applied the first mod and intenral sd disabled when I had mod 1 version of your rom.

I upgraded (with full wipe ) to mod 2 version of your rom without change partitions and still internal sd disabled (my mistake: I didn't read your note about this); but I had no problems.

Now, as you suggest, I would go to mod 2 (2Gb + little internal sd) version of partitions, in order to install your new version of rom.

How must I proceed? Can I directly apply mod2 partitions? ..and appyling this mod, also internal sd will be re-enabled?

or first stock and after mod 2 ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
You can directly flash the files from the second mod (no need to go to stock first), then clear userdata (so that partition is formatted to the new size) and then install the latest custom ROM. Additionally, you can then restore (using advanced restore) userdata only.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gojo.pl:
Just installed 3.0 over 2.0. (no userdata wipe).

Looks as expected - flawlessly. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yes, there should be no need to wipe if you were using V2.0.

Good to know that you like it. The lockscreen methods modified by ZTE were tough to remove, but I made it. :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reglaspv:
If I already have xposed installer and gravity box installed in v2mod, I should uninstall them before flashing v3mod?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
No, there's no need to uninstall. GravityBox will be installed as a system app (which means the app you have now will be automatically erased) and Xposed installer is not included in the release as it is not needed because the module will be loaded during system startup.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ulvergr:
i have v2 with the extended partition( first mod and intenral sd disabled )

but v3 cannot be updated...:( it stucks at zte logo...

how u suggest i must continue?flash everything from sp tool?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I suggest you to flash the alternate partitioning mod and then install the ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ulvergr:
remind me how....through flash tool or can be done through recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Through SP Flash Tool... and read this.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
flash stock partitions from the extended partition package with sp flash tool, then reinstall the rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ulvergr:
thanx guys...i will try it

Update :working perfect, thank again bruno
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stvgr:
Did what they told me and everything works perfectly. Thank you very much now I can say that mobile is perfect. Bruno continues like, well done thanks again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Bruno, we have the bug. If you try to change time zone manually, the Settings drops to error. Please confirm.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MSprecher:
I can confirm this bug.

(Not even the "General Fix"-setting of gravity box for this bug does solve the Problem.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
And Bruno, still no Russian letters in dialer...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Sorry for that guys, it will be fixed in a few moments.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
This time is for real. Please download the ROM again, I've renamed it to R2.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ulvergr:
Bruno v3 until now looks the Best, great work.

As for the gravitybox, when a new version will be released how it will be update? Manually or by it's self?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xtrem007:
Translation

Bruno is it possible to translate into Polish the "SIM management" and "Schedule power on & off" menu?

These are the only menus that remain in English when the Polish language is selected.

Besides, is there any chance to run camera effects (big eyes, big nose...) :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LethalOne:
Bruno dont care about xtrem007's moaning. He is always finding sth to moan about on our Polish forums ;). Great work. Cheers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xtrem007:
??

My only problem described on our Polish forums were artifacts. So I don't know what you mean :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
No, it doesn't update automatically. You'll have to do it manually. :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xtrem007:
Translation

Bruno sorry for my moaning ;)

I decompiled the file Settings.apk from update_JB_V987_V3.0MOD.zip using apk multi tool.

In folder Settings.apk\res\values-pl\ I found file strings.xml

In this file is missing many strings.

Is it possible to replace the file from another ROM with a better translation?

I'm trying to do something myself but I have no experience :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
And what ROM would that be? The one I used contains support for many languages. I was aware that not all apps contained support for all languages, but never noticed Polish was missing some translations.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ulvergr:
Bruno in every reboot i have the message '' Android is upgrading-apps... '' but this message is only on reboot, on Normal power off everything ok. Bug?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
When you get that message, does it take a while or disappear fast?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ulvergr:
Fast...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MSprecher:
For me it takes about 10 seconds.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Quite fast, does not bothering. I thought it's Gravity Box effects.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gojo.pl:
I'm using PL and very, very few sentences are english so I just find it great and didn't even notice them. If extrem007 wants to contribute, maybe he can fill up those very few missing translations and send it to you for future realeses. I'm also eager to help if any EN-PL translation is needed. But only for any future releases, I don't find any need to rush it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demstav:
How can i enable the battery percentage on the statua bar?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] onizukao:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] wilcovh:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] EMF:
You can simply restore the backup you made before you flashed the custom rom, from recovery. I don't know how to get original recovery back
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Founsk:
I did not make any back up in fact. I know the original rom is available on the ZTE Chinese website. Maybe I will try with flash tool to flash everything and erase the recovery, in case I have to return the phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
No problem, you just have to download the stock ROM from ZTE website, grab the update.zip and install it like you did before when you installed my custom ROM. Once phone boots the first time, recovery partition will be overwritten with stock image. Good luck. ;)

EDIT: Read FAQ.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:

Today I have received the phone, so I can start.

No piracy, everything is with Chinese apps, no Play Store.

BACK key problem?

Bruno, I followed your Tutorials, wanted to make backup in Stock recovery mode,

but the BACK key does not work, I can not close Stock recovery mode.

What to do?

Phone made in 02.2013

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

I pulled out the battery. No problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Did you solve your problem? Why would you want to make a backup if stock ROM is available on ZTE website? :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:
Thanks, I solved.

I am not an IT guy, so I follow the instructions step by step.

Now I am ready, 2 times flashing (your recovery and repartitioning), and installed from recovery the disable_internal_sdcard.zip and ROM.zip.

Next will be the USB cable connection to PC (drivers needed, as I read.)

Questions:

1. To enter to this CWM Recovery from you the way is only Volume up + Power - long holding, and not as earlier from switching off menu?

2. There is no Battery_staats in the Recovery (or I did not find), how to handle if battery % scale is not correct? Earlier I deleted this file, and made a full cycle discharge - charge (on V970)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Founsk:
I still have problems! Bruno I have flashed your recovery and your Rom, I thought the problem was from the chinese recovery I have installed first, but I still do not have sound (just a few sound in the earphone). I don't know if it can be a hardware problem. I have tried to put the Rom on the ZTE website but it is just an update, it does not erase the recovery neither the phone storage.

Edit: ok this time I have been able to flash the original rom, in recovery I could see that it would also erase the recovery. So I have stock rom now, but stil have no sound. I am little disappointed since it is the second handset with problems, I think I will change for another brand!

inquiry for V987

Hi guys,

Recently bought Zte V987 with etotalk rom. I would just like to ask if there are any known fixes for their CID bugs with this one. My caller id seems to not recognize incoming calls due to the phone number format. Dont want to save 2 numbers for each contact i have :) thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Thank you very much!

Where do you live? No one still reported such problem and even here in Portugal everything is working perfectly, CID bug free.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gojo.pl:
Bruno. Do you consider releasing your MOD based on 4.2.1 beta if the final version is not released in a nearest future?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demstav:
caller ID

Hello guys. Any idea when the 4.2 version will be out?

Also anyone has a solution about the issue of incoming calls (missed or otherwise) not showing the caller ID when the international country code is included in my address book and not on the incoming call?

thanks

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

I have installed the prefixer app from google play store but it does not fix the problem with missed calls.
