Then why don't you try to install the latest version available? It even includes Hebrew language support. If that still doesn't work try a factory reset. It may be because of some data setting migrated from Android 4.1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Russian letters appear even when my default language is English. And it's not a translation, just some menus text.

bruno to install V987 extended userdata mod2 i must first install mod1?because from mod2 the file ''recovery_emmc_disabled.img'' is missing
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Better use Meteos (link).

Make backup, use as it's written at the post (I used 2.7Gb), then recover just userdata. If you need to, of course.

Bruno, I have 2 reports from today, that CWM 6.0.3.3 is dropping after 15 seconds of usage. Stock ROM B03, upgrade through Mobile Uncle. Any ideas?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lumianti:
Make it 3 and on top of that V3 ROM wouldn't go past ZTE splash screen the first time and would hang on Android upgrading: starting apps the second time that was after extended memory V1 mod and CWM upgrade to 6.0.3.3. I had to use extended mem V2 and CWM 6.0.3.0 then flash ROM and then upgrade CWM.

BTW. I got a response from display vendor today with a link for a digitizer and display replacement guide bit too late for me but someone else may find it useful.

Here's the link:

Is there a way to get nice & clean notifications on your lock screen like those from dashclock or cLock? Is it possible that ASOP lockscreen will support widgets in the future? I'm currently using ubuntu touch lockscreen but I'm not a fan of it and I couldn't find any cleaner looking lock apps. Dashclock seams just about perfect but it doesn't work with ASOP. :(

Also in reference to my previous question I still can't find a way to remove "3G" and "G" connection type information from the status bar. In your V1 ROM I could just have signal threshold icons with little connetction type indicators in the upper left corner of those icons. Right now, in cases when additional icon (i.e. alarm) appears things get on top of each other.. Am I missing something again? :confused:

Hi,

I'm not relaying on phone for pictures, however, the current stock camera/gallery apps are driving me nuts.

I can't switch from pictures to video because it is always crashing, with a message that "sorry, gallery has stopped".

I can't use photo sphere because after the initial shot, there aren't any another guidance dots and the screen is stuck.

And worse of all, there is small lag between the moment when when I press the button and the actual moment of the picture.

And there many options that are missing from 4.1.2 camera, like scenes or 40 bursting pictures and why not, the overall quality of image/video.

There is a painless way to change to another stock apps? Like that from 4.1.2?

Thank you!

Here is CWM recovery 6.0.3.5 for V987.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dakok:
Thanks! :good:

a) Is there a need for me :cyclops: (an average flashing user) to have this new version :)

b) Is it possible to make a cwm version that would be flashable thru CWM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
It is advisable if you still have the first version that I have released (CWM 6.0.3.0). If you don't want to flash it through SP Flash Tool, just use Mobileuncle MTK Tools. Read a few posts back...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dakok:
OK, got it:

:D

Done with MobileUncle Tools.

I put both files in the SDcard root.

6.0.3.5 is up now :)

Is my nandroid backup that I did with 6.0.3.0. still valid?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reglaspv:
Some help please? At least with the current bugs if not with another camera/gallery apps?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Of course! ;)

By saying you have tried PhotoSphere, I assume you have not tried the stock Camera app, even though you mention it as stock. During ROM installation, you have the chance to install stock Camera/Gallery app, as well as the one from Android 4.2. You can have both installed at the same time, but two Camera icons and two Gallery icons will appear on the app drawer. The crash you are reporting is something I haven't ever experienced. Have you already tried to clear data for that app?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Still reports on reboots in 10 seconds while in recovery on stock ROMs in new update. No issues in 6.0.3.0 and TWRP so far.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reglaspv:
You are correct, my mistake, I miss the stock camera/gallery option and installed just the updated camera/gallery.

Yes, I cleared the data but nothing changed.

Here's the logcat, maybe you can find something.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
No problems here (not even with the previous one) and have been using it for days now. Which boot.img have you flashed?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
No issues for me also, as I'm using v3R2. ;)

But reports from 4pda with stock roms. I will ask for boot.img.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Nothing strange apart from this:

E/AndroidRuntime( 2740): FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-260
E/AndroidRuntime( 2740): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported quality level: 11

Can you also try to clear data for Media Storage system app?

Tell them to disable "Quick boot", under Settings / Accessibility. I don't know if that is the problem or not, just a guess.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reglaspv:
Thank you, that solved the crash between photo and video.

Photo Sphere is not working for me (after initial picture, nothing is happening) but is not important either.

Is there a way to install stock camera and gallery, without flashing the entire rom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I'm glad it worked. It was strange that no one else ever reported such a problem. It was probably some messed up setting.

I couldn't get PhotoSphere to work either, but I did not knew how it worked.

Taking into consideration that you seem to have some experience using adb, you can:

adb reboot recovery
adb shell mount system
adb push Gallery2.apk /system/app
adb push Gallery2.odex /system/app
adb reboot

Gallery app files can be taken from my update.zip and are found under system\app.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reglaspv:
I think that something is missing because even the files were copied in system/app (I've checked with root explorer), there are no other icons of camera/gallery in app drawer.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
A small update regarding what I wrote earlier: manually installing GravityBox over the pre-installed system app may cause unexpected behavior. The best method is to use CWM flashable .zip containing the latest version of GB, which is normally released by C3C076. Latest package is here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Here's one of boot.imgs (MIUI)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vali2006ro:
Thanks!

You have a coffee from me Bruno! :)

I do have a question, could you make a recovery.img with TWRP? In CWMR I see a lot of errors when I try to clean Dalvik cache, when I try to format emmc and a few more that I cant recall right now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zperetz:
Dalvik is fixed with the latest CWM. The only part is emmc.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vali2006ro:
I am getting the following warning : No file_contexts

And E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
The first is just a warning, completely normal on the latest CWM version (6.0.3.5). The other one is an error, but not a recovery problem. The error is just for information that /sd-ext does not exist, it completes wipe successfully. It is nothing you should worry about.

Last but not least, thanks for your donation! :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dakok:
Here you can try Lenovo Super Camera, something chinese modders use in their latest v987 roms.

This is jb 4.2 camera, makes great macros, btw.

After having tested V987-BM-ModROM V3

After two weeks testing of the latest BM ModROM I come to the conclusion that it is as rocksolid as the former BM ModROMs for Huawei and HTC HD7.

It was a wise decision to choose the combination of Aroma-installer and Gravitybox for individual setup of the phone.

I have done quite some testing of all tethering and hotspot modes with Windows 7 and Windows 8 machines. Everything worked flawless and smooth.

Donation is on the way.

PS: What is the reason for CWM-based recovery v6.0.3.5 not being able to be accessed as USB Mass Storage Device?

Matthias
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
New version of GravityBox was just released. Download from link bellow and flash through CWM recovery.

Don't forget to say thanks to C3C076.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wolfillete:
It works great! Awesome camera with custom configs and effects.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Do you mean when USB storage is mounted within the recovery? It is working flawlessly here, for both storage mountpoints (internal and external sdcard).

Thank you for another generous donation! :highfive:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ulvergr:
As for the gravity box, new release is out, how we install it?

Through apk or we must wait for a zip file?

Hi Bruno,

Sorry for bother you again but are you sure that Gallery2 files are the right files for stock camera/gallery? Because as I said, there are no addtional icons in app drawer and now, when I unlock with camera i get this:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yes, I'm sure of that. Something is terribly wrong with your setup... You previously had the Media Storage force close and now this. :rolleyes: It may be because you're trying many different camera apps. I suggest you to re-install the custom ROM, chose advanced installation and don't wipe userdata.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reglaspv:
Well, no, I'm not testing camera apps and I installed version 3 (over 2) exactly as you said, with advanced settings and without wiping userdata.

Then I had all the problems I mentioned a few post above and after copying that files, I ended here :D.

Anyway, if gallery2 are stock files for camera/gallery, which are the files for leaked 4.2.2 camera? Maybe if I delete them, I will remain with stock apps and everything will be fine.

Thank you!

Ah .. and I don't know if this is the right way but I seen others doing it so I just want you to know that I donated as well, yesterday or the day before that.

I installed recovery 3e before and I installed CWM today. But I don't know how to remove the recovery 3e. Anyone could tell my how to remove it? :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
If you flashed CWM recovery, then stock recovery was overwritten. :silly:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aberdeen999:
No, recovery 3e still exist. I can't only login to recove:crying:ry 3e by vol + & power button.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Please explain yourself a little better. You say that you've flashed CWM recovery, but still you enter into recover mode and 3e recovery appears?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MSprecher:
Just let me jump in: I guess after having flashed CWM recovery over stock recovery it is necessary to choose the option to replace stock recovery when starting CWM recovery for the first time otherways stock recovery is kept.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yes, you are correct. I just wanted to be sure what user was doing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:
Correct use of V987 extended userdata mod2 - 2GB_USRDATA.zip

Bruno, I want to understand your #4 and not to make error when flashing.

So you advise to use SP Flash Tool with the latest V987 extended userdata mod2 - 2GB_USRDATA.zip, based on unzipped content of this unit.

After it must I install disable_internal_sdcard.zip file through recovery mode? This is hidden in the earlier V987 extended userdata mod.zip, as I see.

Is it correct?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
No, you should not install disable_internal_sdcard.zip (it wouldn't do no harm anyway). You have to re-install the custom ROM after applying the mod.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aberdeen999:
Start from beginning, I installed Recovery 3e before. Couple of days ago, I followed the instruction to install CWM recovery by SP flash tool. I could enter to CWM recovery for the first time after flashing finished. But found that using same method vol up + power (2nd time) can't only enter to Recovery 3e. Seems flashing process can't cover the old one. That's why I would like to know how to remove Recovery 3e. :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Then have a read here, explanation was already given.

In other words, once you are in CWM recovery and reboot into system, you have to choose the option to "disable recovery flash", otherwise during bootphase CWM recovery will be overwritten by 3e.

EDIT: Obviously, that only happens because you are running a stock ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aberdeen999:
Thanks of your explanation. I will follow you way to fix the problem. :victory:

Hello Bruno.To install custom recovery,is it better and safer to do it via sp flash tool as you say in your guide ,or can i also do it via mobileuncle tools as one member here suggested?Alos repartioning can be done with this here? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41837761&postcount=182
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I can't say it is better or safer. The result is the same, but using Mobileuncle Tools is easier.

As for eMMC re-partitioning, try that app. I never used it, but some users already reported that it works. :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Pe3ball:
Ok my friend thanks a lot again ! :) I will try it then via mobileuncle tools as it is easier as you said.As for the repartioning should i do it before installing your custom rom or after?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:
Repartitioning

Before installing the new custom ROM, because it is sensitive for the former "disable internal SD card".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:
Experiences

Refreshing the CWM Recovery I made by Mobileuncle tools. Now in the switch off menu there is no Recovery option. Should it be?

Re-partitioning was done via Meteos...apk, the result is sdcard1 - internal, sdcard0 - my microSD card. Some confusion I see with some apps, they do not see the proper storage place.

For example, as Titanium Backup had bugs, I used MyBackup Root. After updating the ROM I downloaded it again from the Play Store, but I had to modify the place of backup data, from sdcard1 to sdcard0, so it worked.

Did I made mistakes?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Have you installed the latest custom ROM? If so, you must use GravityBox to enable extended reboot menu. ;)

I can't help you on that. Don't know what that app does exactly, but something got messed up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:
1st - Thanks, but I can not find this option in the GravityBox v2.1.0. Not a big problem.

2nd - This meteos... method is more convenient, I hate Flash Tool (I did it many times on different phones and tablets), now I have 2 GB phone storage (path: /data) and 29,7 GB on my microSD card, path: storage/sdcard0 (as it is indicated by Elixir2).

Now I try different apps, I don't see bugs.

As Titanium Backup is told to work properly, I will save backup, and I will delete MyBackup Root app and its stored data.

The only one question that after AROMA I got 2 Cameras and 2 Galleries, why?

With your earlier ROM I had huge bugs with apps Paper Camera, Camera FV-5 and Camera360. For the first test all these work now with the latest excellent ROM.

need some help

i am on v1 rom with the sd card hack.

was thinking to upgrade my v987 to v3 last night.

Used my usual procedure to flash via cwm.

Buy my phone always stuck on zte splas screen, i did hear the 'ding ding....' though

I tried reflashing, but no luck

Also reread the 1st post of the thread

didn't think i miss something really important

So i decided to turn to you guys.

Please help

Read post #4, apply the alternative partitioning mod and re-install the ROM. If it still fails, clear all userdata.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsiglas:
Sorry bruno i know it a waste of time but i think its time for you to make a step by step tutorial how to pass from V1 to V3....one with stock partitions and one with V1 mod 2,7gb.....what scatter/files you put in sptools what you check in any different case what recovery you install in any case and what exactly files you instal from cwm......

I have done this allready your rom/work is so exellent that im starting to get borring with my phone that there is nothing else to fix.....and i think that all V987 users must have your rom and why not...donate for your exellent work....

My donate is coming as soon as i put money in my palypall card....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:
1. Refreshing the CWM Recovery. I made it by Mobileuncle tools. #669

2. Read post #4, apply the alternative partitioning mod. Use Flash Tool, but you must not follow it with "install zip from sdcard", as at the first time when re-partitioning.

3. Update V3.0, in CWM Recovery "install zip from sdcard". #1

4. Refresh GravityBox, by "install zip from sdcard". #692

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll update the initial posts with that information when I have some time. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Pe3ball:
So to make clear some things Before Bruno decides to update the guide.

First of all I have installed custom recover cwm via mobile uncle tools easily via putting the extracted files in the root of the sd card and updating via recovery update option of mobile uncle tools. I have not done the repartitioning yet.I booted in cwm right after i installed it and made a back up of my current rom and saved it in the sd card. After that i have made a backup of my internal memory and my sd card. Then i enter recovery cwm and:

1) “wipe data/factory reset”

2) “wipe cache partition”

3) Go to advanced and “wipe dalvik cache” and “wipe battery stats”

4) Go to mounts and storage and “format system”

5) Then go to “install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard” and select the ROM (In this case Bruno rom update.zip)

6)Finally install gravity box update and reboot

Are these steps correct?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Pe3ball:
Well ok.I have the stock rom from minideal.net and it is the stock partition no mods so far.The only thing i have done is to install cwm and to back up my data.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Forget steps 1) to 4). Unless you want to apply re-partitioning mod, jump directly to step 5), choose wipe userdata and cache on the installer. Then continue to step 6) and enjoy!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Pe3ball:
Thanks a lot man!Of course if i install it that way i forget repartinioning?.Also all my applications will have to be installed again,right?Finally i should also make a back up to contacts and messages?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsiglas:
For better results yes clear all user data and dont keep buckup just install all your apps again....follow brunos instactions....and yes buck up your contacts and messages before all that.....

the repartition mod 2 (2gb) you can doit with sptools at the time before the instalation of the rom (you said that you have allready install the latest recovery)and clear user data....to insatll the repartition mod 2 you just put the scatter in sptools with the 3 files checked (EBR1,EBR2.MBR)and press download as the tuttorial shows....there is no need to install the 'disable'.zip from sd card from mod1 repartition....if everything is ok and the rom works great and the partitios are ok then you can update the gravity box and set up the phone.....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexw801:
Your contacts will be returned if you sync them by Gmail, it is no problem at all.

You can backup and later restore all of your apps with data (which are not part of Bruno's ROM) by MyBackup Root app. After installed the new ROM you can install MyBackup Root once again from Play store, and restore all apps. It takes some time but it is very easy. I chose this way because Titanium Backup had bugs with the V1.0 ROM.

As Titanium Backup is told to work under V3.0 ROM, you can delete MyBackup Root with its huge data folder later.
