Thank you very much! Is there any ASUS tab based on MT8389? If you want a clean Android 4.2.2 ROM for it I can share the one from Lenovo S6000-H. I didn't use that for porting because it is designed for tablets and also does not include telephony and gemini (dual SIM) support.

Does that Android 4.2.2 ROM that you've found belong to a gemini smartphone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Actually MT8125/8389 SoC's are pretty much an MT6589

Idk why they released these SoC's The diffs are minimal.

My ASUS tab was actually announced has having an 8389, but after an deep search on The stock ROM, i found that its actually an MT6589 lol, just like your phone.

I've use an MT6589 updater.bin to build my ROM, and The scatter is also from 6589, even the partitions blocks are The same...

Yeah The ROM i found haves gemini support, i think...

I didnt complete The port, but gemini related xmls are present on UI, framework, prop , so i guess yes.

Also its an phone ROM.

cya later ;)

Yeah thanks i already know The Lenovo, there's some work being done on kernel.

Merging lenovo's sources with some of The ASUS ones , since Lenovo's are more complete.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] metzner:
Ok..thx... I will be patient ;)

Glad to hear that your feedback regarding the new kernel is good. :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] f_speed:
Kernel tested, runs good, but for me there is not difference.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] reglaspv:
Tested and so far, there is no problem. Maybe is just and impression but overall seems a little more fluid than the kernel from 3.1

My back button was a little non-responsive but now even that is solved.

I'm waiting now few days, to see if there are any modifications to battery life.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wolfillete:
Bruno, could you include holo launcher in the next rom?? Thx!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Bruno,

I've updated to new kernel, no issues so far.

But at the same time I've realized (don't know, it can be coincidence) that GoSmsPro can use 2 SIMs on our phone (finally)!. I immediately moved to it as standard SMS app, and removed stock MMS.apk.

And you know what? AOSP lock screen shows notification on it with SMS coming, I move it to the unblock ring and lockscreen hangs on. Just lockscreen, the phone is fine. I've returned MMS.apk back and unblocking from notification goes to it, even if default SMS app is different. It seems like screen notification is locked to SMS.apk.

Is there any chance to remove the lock to stock app, or wipe this lockscreen notification?

V987 2G version

Hey guys

I saw it :

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/14..._id=ae_pay_low_mail_template_en_US_2013-11-27

Anyone know this version compatible only with 2G ?

I would like to offer to niece for Christmas, but I want to make sure that all models are compatible with 3G.

Thank's
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dakok:
Don't buy that. Seller has no feedback score anyway.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pirracas77:
Is this rom multilanguage? Is there any way to remove that "operator sim-lock·?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] elitetech:
I have five ZTE v987, and I am unable to get any of them to connect to T-Mobiles 3g network. I check the APN settings and they are correct. And I connect to the 2g network just fine (except for it being excruciating slow). Is there something that I am missing, or does this phone/rom not support 3g?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Of course it supports 3G. Other than wrong APN settings I can only think of an incompatibility of the network operator / broken SIM card. Just try with another SIM from other network.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] elitetech:
Thanks for the confirmation that it does in fact work.I will take it to T-Mobile today to try another SIM, and have the APN Settings verified by one of their reps as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sathelp:
And to back this up, I am on t-mobile in the UK and have 3G everywhere it is but it will fall back to GSM in poor areas. Works a treat.

Extract boot.img from update.zip and flash it using SP Flash Tool. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsiglas:
ok i extract the boot.img from update.zip....open the sp flash tool and then what????i dont know how to flash boot.img....how i choose it and what i have to select.....

I need a step by step guide.....

I only know how to flash recovery......
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
You can try this flashable *.zip to flash your kernel.

(I assume you have the CWM Recovery)

Don't extract the zip, just open it and put your boot.img on the root of it. like this:

On recovery:

Wipe Dalvik and Cache

Flash the kernel .zip

*************************************

OR

On the SpFlashTools:

You only need to select your scatter file.

And Tick ONLY the boot.img (check picture)

Then press Download and connect your phone to the PC (must be turned off)

Xposed

Hello to everyone,

Just a simple question... since GravityMod is included since V3.0, can we assume the Xposed framework is also installed in V3.0 and V3.1? Just as a way to confirm other Xposed modules could be added to an already amazing customised ROM. :good:

Thank you!

edit: I just installed GravityBox 2.8.0. The install log in CWM 6.0.3.7 shows:

So that's it then.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Xposed framework is indeed installed, but the installer is not included. Xposed installer is the tool that allows you to manage framework and modules. That means it has to be installed separately if you want to install other modules or update Xposed framework in the future.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
Wipe davilk and cache is absolutely necessary? I installed it without doing :silly:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
It is advisable, but not absolutely necessary. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Some V987 owners asked me for this and I'm glad to let you know it will soon be possible.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
Ok Bruno thanks!

Yeah! Good new! :good:

Bruno one thing more...No shows me the headset icon, what's the problem? :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Please note that the screenshot was taken from a V970, running Android 4.1. I am not totally sure and can't test at the moment, but I believe that a similar icon appears on V987 when a headset is connected.

Calendar- and E-Mail-Sync problems with 3.1ModROM

Just wonder whether other users of the 3.1ModROM also have problems syncing IMAP- and Exchange-Server-Accounts and Exchange-Server-Calendars. With 2.0MODROM everything works fine for me. This keeps me now off from all the wonderful cosmetic gimmicks of GravityBox.

No issues with Exchange and IMAP so far. Using stock app, of course.

Regarding distance problems in tracking apps.

I have discovered that the problem is probably related to how doubles are handled in dalvik VM.

They fixed the issue in CM10.1 some time ago:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_dalvik/commit/6799723387fe725e5418a83d2762539530a8835c

It would be interesting to get libdvm.so from some other armv7 device and test it on our MTKs...

Latest Official ZTE V987 ROM 22-05-2015 Released

http://devicedownload.zte.com.cn/cn/UpLoadFiles/product/0/263/soft/2013052213053200.zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I was about to mention that, but judging by the release number (ZTE-CN-9B18D-P188F04V1.0.1), I would say it is still based on Android 4.1. :rolleyes:

EDIT: It is exactly the same ROM that had been already released on 20th March.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] origin248:
According to the official website (in Chinese) that this version is for China Unicom only and not suitable for any other market including Taiwan. So I'm guessing something designed or tweaked just for Unicom? Though curious to know what it is.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Forget it... As I said, that is exactly the same ROM that had been released (ZTE-CN-9B18D-P188F04V1.0.1 / Custom build: B01), in which my custom ROM is already based on. Nothing new, so don't even waste your time downloading that file. If you do, you'll notice that the update.zip was created on 12th March. :laugh:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] origin248:
HAHAHAHA, that's funny. Talk about stupid things that they do.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] guesswhoesis:
[MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION]

I flashed the ROM you supplied, the first impression is very good. after using some days I concluded the follwoing problems:

1) the WIFI is instable, quite often the phone lost the connections to WIFI Router and cannot get connected again unless I restart the phone.

2) the return button doesn't work quite often. long presse of HOME button doesn't show the recent used apps.

3) problems by recovering the old datas backuped by Titannium, the procedure hanged by 40% or 80%, had to repeated it several times to get all the backups restored.

are the problems known in the rom? any way to solve them? i would appreciate it very much cause this phone is indeed a very nice one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tugof:
I have this problem with titanium backup (and other backup programs) too. Procedure hanged many times during restoring and backuping.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MSprecher:
I did not have any of the first two problems you describe. There seems to be a problem with Titanium Backup Pro.

I would recommend to do a fresh installation of the ROM from scratch and to do the backups with CWM.

Enjoy

Good Bruno!

I'm testeando MIUI V5 on our mobile and response of physical buttons is amazing, it's better than V3. What is this? Honestly, I'm faithful to V3 but the weak point is the issue of the response of physical buttons, eg the difficulty opening multitasking. In MIUI not this problem occurs.

I hope you do not mind my comment! Just pretend that v3 is best! Thank you!

Thanks for your work!

(Sorry for my google traductor ^^)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] panospc:
MIUI V5 is using B03 Kernel instead of B02. You can download B03 Kernel from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jwt8wnyzvlebxn4/ZTEV987_B03_Kernel.zip and flash it in Bruno's V3 ROM.

I have received a new update from ZTE. It seems a new base band

Did you see it before? What is new in this update?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yeap, that's the latest version. It has been already discussed about in the last few pages.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MSprecher:
The Problem seems to be, that aroma installer in BM CustomROM 3.1 is not installing stock email app (Version 4.1) even though stock email is choosen. Instead E-Mail-App Version 6.0-893803 is installed. This app is mixing everything up (Outlook contacts with contacts from all e-mails) and is not able to properly synchronise calenders and imap-email-account.

In CustomROM 2.0 stock E-Mail-App (Version 4.1) is installed and everything works fine.

Less is sometimes more!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pirracas77:
Opps! I didn't realise until now. You are right.

What new things or improvements does it have this update?

I discovered that in this version the location services through Wireless or GSM networs were removed from the settings. It is only available through GPS. Why ZTE? It doesn't make sense.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
What do you mean when you say that lockscreen hangs on? Does it FC or phone completely freezes? I can have a look at it, but as you know ZTE made deep changes to the lockscreen. :(

As a matter of fact, E-mail a Exchange apps have been updated to the new version that Google released for N5. I just did not know it could bring any sync issues. I can release a patch to replace those new apps with the old ones. ;)

See, it's really hard to please everyone. Some people say B02 kernel is good, others that B03 is perfect. When I tried it I had many return back key issues and it was the reason it took me to release the custom ROM with B02 kernel.

That is only available when Gapps are installed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MSprecher:
I have stayed with V1.0 and V2.0 all the time until it became possible to set different ringtones for each SIMcard. So I had to upgrade to V3.1 and GravityBox. That was the start of e-mail problems. So I went back to V2.0.

Back-button-problems are frequent with every ROM until now.

Pressing once often has the effect of pressing twice. Sometimes it happens even without having touched the back-arrow-area... in a way it seems to be too senisitive.

Bruno, I would be very grateful for a patch to replace the E-Mail-apps! This would offer the possibility to set different ringtones again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Bruno,

The AOSP lock ring freezes with SMS icon on it, and that's it, you cannot unlock the phone. But the rest of functionality is fine, internet and background services are working, I just cannot get them :) the only exit is to reboot through power menu.

I thought your change of lockscreen to AOSP ring was a bit deeper, and SMS widget comes with it, not with standard ZTE lock.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
That's how it looks like
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pirracas77:
I have gapps installed but the location options are not there any more. :(

Adding a bit more regarding the new E-mail app from Android 4.4 (which was the version that I included in the latest release): Default email app with Gmail-style UI and slide-out menu. And now it seems that Google may be preparing to release it on the Play Store.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaKyy:
I tried the B03 kernel aswell and it seems to work better with the bottom keys. Atleast it fixed the annoying long press on home key so it brings up the recently used programs menu without pressing the "roof" :D

Maybe, we must try to know. I deleted that plugin right away because always thought it was China Unicom related.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
If the problem is just copy to system/app I can test. The .apk from GB thread has no any effect if just copy it, but it's deodexed.

Sent from ZTE V987 with Tapatalk app
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I'm not at home right now, so can't test it. The best is to take plugin (.apk and .odex) from the original ROM for V987 and push into /system/app.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Ok, will try to download the ROM and test

Upd: just copied OP02Plugin.apk and .odex with proper rights, no result. Maybe it works only on stock ROM.

I can confirm that all my back button problems I used to have with BM 3.1CustomROM have gone after installing the v1.1.3 Kernel.zip.

In my case, i was with 3.1 B02 kernel and i have a lot of back button probles...

I install and try v1.1.3 kernel for one day and unfortunately i had the same problems.....

Only with B01 kernel the back problem is not so often!!!

I try every 4.2.1 Brunos rom with every kernel and the best mutch for me was Bruno 3.0 rom with B01 kernel...

Now im sure that is hardware problem....i think that we all have to do the trick with the 2side tape in the soft keys area......

as far as i known miui use b03 kernel ? can i use b02 and miui ?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
If I'm not mistaking (Bruno can correct me) but GB custom color status bar works for orange and blue colors. The rest will stay the same. So it's kind of feature, not a bug.

That's correct. It is the way it is implemented, not a bug.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reglaspv:
Ok :)

But.. before the update, my sims were orange/green and all the rest(time, wifi signal, etc) magenta. Now, after removing G/3G, first sim is also magenta instead orange

That means that it was a bug until now?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaKyy:
I installed the latest GB version yesterday with CWM. First it rebooted the phone before i got to flashing and when I finally got to flashing, it rebooted itself right after the flash was finished. So maybe the B03 has some issues after all?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MSprecher:
Nothing, everything is just fine. It will be hard to top this Rom for MY PHONE. For others this seems to be different...

When i installed the rom again, i chose the stock 4.2 launcher and everything is ok.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pirracas77:
I have reinstalled gapps several times but the Location Services only shows GPS.

Any other idea?
