Mail client

Hi

in the BM2.0 I installed from Aroma mail client app, and in BM3.1/pre4.0 also.

The new one (from ROM3.1) is gmail-like style.

The old app had two advantages - I could delete messages without reading them (eg spam) and after open mailbox it automatically checked for new mails - in the new one I have to do this manually

Do you know where can I find this old mail app?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Here you go: revert stock E-mail an Exchange apps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wywern.pl:
Thanks, Bruno, I must saw this, but not recognize that's it :(

I'm sorry, but how should I install it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Simply install through CWM recovery. :cool: It deletes the new apps and installs the stock ones.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaKyy:
EPO download issues here too. Last one was downloaded in november and was expired in december. Now when I hit download button, it doesnt start the download.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KopiJahe:
Sometimes you must retry a dozen times before it downloaded successfully

I had more success while downloading via wifi
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaKyy:
Indeed it helped. Seems this is a server issue rather than phone issue. The automatic update doesn't work either so it has to be downloaded manually.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Flow:
Sometimes the servers that host the EPO files are unavailable.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yeap, already mentioned somewhere in this thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Flow:
Sometimes people don't read everything.

You see what I did there? :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wywern.pl:
Thank you, master :)

Works, of course. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] b3rok:
@ Bruno - as i remember you have written the list of bloatware mediatek apps which can be delated. Could you repeat that list?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I don't remember having written such a list. I have just explained what a few apps serve for.

EDIT: I was referring to this post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Flow:
I did a restore of my 3.0R2 backup, because with the 4.0 kernel my phone completely froze 3 times when trying to play a online video with the built-in video player. Had to take the battery out (3 times) to reboot.

After restoring my backup the problem was gone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
That won't work, sorry. Your phone has totally different specifications, starting from the used SoC.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
No, I don't. You have to search on the forum or use Google.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Hi

This thread is about the zte v987, I'm sorry but we can't help you regarding other devices.

You should check this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2123239

Do you mean adding dialer keys with Russian letters, so that it can appear when locale is set to RU? Sure, I can do that, but I just need the images.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Yes, that's what I was talking about. Can you give any link with instruction or explanation how they should be prepared?

Actually I start missing Huawei G500 dialer with 2 sim calls available from the pad.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Please check if you can find on forum.china-iphone.ru the images (or even an already modified Contacts.apk) from other MediaTek based phone that has the same screen resolutions as V987. With that, I can easily add that feature.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Okay, it's done. Install the attached patch through recovery mode and you should get the modified keys on the dialer. ;)

Unfortunately, that's not easy to accomplish. :( Huawei had hardly modified MediaTek sources, that's why certain features were not present on U8836D and some others were different, like the dialer.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Bruno, you're the best! Thank you for your help!

call quality

hi people.

i have question to zte v987 owners.i want to buy this phone and please for all tell me about your call quality experience(loud enough or more lower)?? i mean call quality on earpiece speaker and loudspeaker also ! and is possible to enter engineering mode with code and to modify audio??

thanx for answers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] algara:
Yes, I'm interested in this also, I want to buy this phone but wouldn't like to be dissappointed with poor calling quality.

Thx.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karkoura:
Does it support gyroscope???? Or is it hardware limitations????

Any news????
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
Calling quality is excellent . of course u can change volumes from mtk engineer menu

yes, it has
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mirot:
THANX BRO
[Miscellaneous Android Development] algara:
Hi,

If I have two SIMs, one for calls and the other one for data, where should I have both of them?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Well, the advisable is to put the SIM card with data plan on slot 1 because it is the one which supports data links up to HSPA+. The other card should be put on slot 2.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gojo.pl:
SIM1 one for data connection (3G data connection available for that slot), SIM2 for calls.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EMF:
I have absolutely no problems with call quality, or volume. It's all good :)

ZTE V987 artifacts

What is wrong with this phone?

youtube.com/watch?v=iHhgbKYs6_k

The phone has installed 4.1.2 ROM (V987_Android_4.1.2_V1.0MOD_by_BM.7z)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gojo.pl:
Someone wrote, that glitches/artefacts are on V987 with android 4.2.1 beta. Do we know if this film shows device based on 4.2.1 beta?

If not - maybe some hardware problems.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yeah, I wonder what is the relevance of that video for this thread, taking into consideration that the ROM it is running is not even identified... :rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mi-425:
hi bgcgm,

Can i install this rom to my Intex aqua quad core phone this phone also hv mt6589 dual sim ......

:confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Read FAQ, please! :mad:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Good news, stable Android 4.2.1 ROM has been released! :victory: It is not yet on the official website, but should be there soon. ZTE really kept the promise that was to release it by the end of May. The release is ZTE-CN-9B18D-P188F04V1.1.1 and build date is May 28.

Unofficial download link is this one. Please note that is the stock ROM, which is full of Chinese stuff, only supports English and Chinese and does not contain Gapps. I will start working on the custom ROM soon, but still don't have any estimated date for the release. :cowboy:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kentdream:
i see zte has start selling the grand memo s(namely N5), which is the big brother of v987, about usd250. has a 5.7 screen and comes with qualcomm cpu, e-compass, gyro sensor(which both sensor not found on v987), 2g ram/16g rom, thiner and comes with 2 color.

bgcngm ever consider to make a rom with it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Is it a Dual SIM smartphone? I will only consider an upgrade to a newer smartphone based on the new MediaTek SoC - MT6592.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kentdream:
N5(v9815) yes, its dual sim. with 4G network.

http://m.gsmarena.com/zte_grand_memo_v9815-5330.php

MTK has advantage on cost/performance, but i also like qualcomm snapdragon series :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaKyy:
Maybe Xiaomi Hongmi 2 then. No solid specs yet, but the screen is rumoured to be 5.5" - I'd be fine with 5" screen. Don't know what the manufacturers think when they increase the screen size on every generation. At least my palm hasn't grown in size...

Hard to find Chinese phones with 900Mhz wcdma frequency, ZTE and Huawei are one of the few. Though not all models... Hopefully ZTE releases a phone with MT6592.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kentdream:
the hongmi price tag is stunning. but i am more interest to get a bigger screen. MTK Soc do take times to produce the chip, i dont see 6592 will be available to manufacturer till 2014 Q1.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

btw, does anyone experience some root problems on 987 rom v3.1, i suddently lost root permission and randomly fail to boot(stuck on zte boot screen), do i need to reinstall the recovery and ststem again?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Flow:
All this is very off-topic, but wtf are you talking about? There are already MTK6592 phones available for sale and delivered since before last Christmas.

I tried GravityBox v2.9.3, and the phone was frozen after the reboot, 2 times I tried. Battery pulled out twice.

Then I copied the v2.9.2 to SD, put it into the phone, entered into Recovery (with + and Power buttons), re-installed it. Now it is O.K., with v2.9.2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
How did you install the new version? Through CWM recovery or via Xposed Installer?

I cannot confirm any problem as V987 has been the device were all GB changes / new features are tested on before any new release.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:
I use always CWM Recovery, "install zip from SD card" option. It is a routine for me, I did it many times. On the other hand, I have Xposed Installer on the phone, but I don't use it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fazaragoza:
Hi I am using ZTE V987 Philippine ROM: DIS-PH-QB18D-P188F04V1.0.0.

Can I use your update through CWM Recovery without installing first the above mentioned chinese ROMs?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Sure! :good: You have quoted the instructions to revert to the original Chinese ROM. It is not a requirement to install the custom ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fazaragoza:
Thanks! Bruno. Ill just create a back-up of my original Philippine ROM and then upgrade to your ROM without installing the chinese ROM.

Oh and by the way, FYI, this phone natively supports Video Call. If you notice the 3 buttons on the dial pad:

1. (Left most) dial pad toggle

2. (Middle) Call button

3. (Right) Video Call button

I read in the earlier posts that it didn't support video calling natively but I tested that it does! :)

GB v2.9.3

The same thing happened to me when I turned On "Navigation bar tweaks > Master switch for navigation bar tweaks".

After the reboot the phone was frozen on ZTE logo.

Cleaning the dalvik cache and disabling "Master switch for navigation bar tweaks" helps temporarily.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xecutionkrk:
Just a quick question, If you do disable the internal storage, how do you t the process? Lets say you want to go back to the way phone was before?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
You flash the stock MBR and EBR partitions, boot into CWM and re-format userdata. Those files are inside the .zip.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reglaspv:
Just now i'm looking at a stuck ZTE logo, after flashing 2.9.3 via CWM. I have V3 + latest update.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
And did you had navigation bar enabled?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Flow:
Bruno, why not just include Xposed installer (and Gravitybox) in the ROM so people can update Gravitybox directly from Xposed?

Than you don't need to download it manually and flash it with CWM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reglaspv:
nope, it was disabled, i'm not using it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Because by the time that ROM was released there was no simple way to have Xposed Installer properly installed along with GravityBox.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
Bruno, with the latest version of GB, data traffic monitor doesn't work with 3G, only works with WiFI :S
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yes, that has been already reported. There's already a commit that hopefully fixes it.

EDIT: Do you have any other issues with the latest GB version? No bootloop?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kratos69:
Ok thanks!

No bootloop Bruno! Everything else works as before me :good::good:

I don't know where to post but due to fact I'm using this awesome ROM I'm gonna post here.

Yesterday something happened, my phone in mofi case landed on the floor and few hours later I found out that sound from the speaker is unavailable. When I call somebody I can hear them but the "louder" speaker is not working. My alarm only vibrates and youtube app or anything else only work when I plug the headphones.

Is there anything I could do?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Flays:
Just wanted to say this rom is awsome! I just got this phone and tried this ROM and was amazed by it! So I donated a little something for your nice work! :laugh: thank you!

Hello Bgcngm, thank you for your work for the community....

Can you take a look on this topics please...

[logcat], [radio] and network problem, who can help?...

my zte v987 avoids 900 Mhz, how to check if it is damaged ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ludoo:
Thanks a lot for all your work. I have one question: how do I enable lockscreen widgets? I don't seem to be able to do it.

Only request from me is, it would be very nice to have double tap to wake (like on the Oppo R819, etc), especially given the idiotic top recessed position of the power button.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Double tap to wake its an kernel feature...

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaKyy:
Why the vol buttons won't enable lockscreen all the time? It only works sometimes...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
It works fine here. Obviously you have to enable the option on GravityBox and make sure you don't have any app killing wakelocks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DaKyy:
Well seems like my GB (2.8.x) was too old to have that option. Installed the newest one an it's working now, thanks :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] juyer:
Bgcngm, you have a service manual PDF (Chinese probably), but the link has not worked any more..., there is just 404 Chinese page with Chinese letters :crying:

If you have this PDF, can you put it on any hosting server ?

How can I downgrade to the previous rom version? Just install via recovery?

Yes, install via CWM recovery. Most likely you won't even need to erase your data, so select advanced install and choose not to wipe userdata.

Do you know that there are some v987 with only 2100 Mhz for 3g (wcdma) ?

I'have though that my zte v987 is damaged, I've tried everything, set explicit in engineer mode

the 900 mhz for wcdma, but I am not able to connect to aero 2 network, local operator on 900 Mhz.

I am reading here e.x. http://www.mobile-phones.cn/v987-quad-core-mtk6589-inch-screen-smart-phone-p-12748.html

This phone will work with GSM 850/900/1800/1900 mHz AND3G WCDMA 2100MHz network.

Please confirm with your carriers or providers before you purchase this item.

I am curious if it has the 900 Mhz disable in hardware (not only in software)...

that is the only explanation...

PS I am on BR 4.0 now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lumianti:
Look up APN settings for Aero2 if you haven't done that, yet. It's located in Settings->More..->mobile networks->Access Point Names (APN).

I can confirm that Aero2 works on zte v987. Ohh.. and make sure you've inserted aero2 sim card in w+g slot not in g+g.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] juyer:
I have this all, the APN is set perfectly:

660 1705 D GSM : [GsmDC-1] Connecting to carrier: 'PlusGSM' APN: 'internet' proxy: '' port: '

PS can you make for me a log when you are connecting to Aero2 ?

The easier way is to install ssh server for android, set on WIFI, log via WIFI by linux or putty.exe to the ssh service, make a command:

#> logcat -b radio -v threadtime *:V > /storage/sdcard0/my_log.txt

then go to option and sim management, and set aero2 off, and then on after3 seconds... wait a few seconds, the connection can be ok,...

after that you can press ctrl-c in ssh session, for the logcat command and the log is in a file, now you should just download it to PC...
