Changing boot animations worked using Boot Box app (Play Store)

The boot animation is in /system/media

The name of the file is bootanimation.zip

P.S: You can flash 720x1280 animations or lower ONLY!

Always do reboot. If screen goes black after zte logo, dont panic, wait until it boots, re-flash a lower resolution bootanimation.

Some .zip's will need to be extracted.

TWRP for ZTE Grand X Pro!!!!

I am making a TWRP Port for the ZTE Grand X Pro

(to kevinrus123: Can I send you my ROM dump? It may have the meta-inf we are looking for)

So it's currently being built, and I'll post it in a day or two....

This is a REAL port , not some scam...

Wat do you think, is this real?????

[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
Nope, tried it... Just another freaking fake...
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
Maybe META-INF!!!

I was in MtkDroidTools and I made a backup (for soft-brick restorations).

I gone into some folder and there was a meta-inf file...

Here is the link to it: http://www58.zippyshare.com/v/79296769/file.html

I don't know if it's a sample or if it's a real META-INF , but try it...
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
Oh mother of god...it looks that we got the Meta-Inf ; man very well done.

Can you please give me full backup , since the Meta-Inf is only compactible with your backup :)

I would need around 2 weeks since the stress of school begins again , please try to be patient (I know how hard it is to wait for a rom :D )

[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
Sweet Jesus!

The whole backup? Oh man... Well I'll upload it till tomorrow on Google Drive...

So custom ROM's are gonna work on our device?! YAY!

[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
Great bro!

Did someone try the TWRP port yet?
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
Just to say it , i am 14 (get in October 15).

I will make a company next year , i will mostly produce android phones with root.

If somebody is interested in my phones which i will make, keep ur eyes open at my signature , will update it in few months :)
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
Great. I may buy your phone next year... Is the backup working?
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
How is it going with the rom?
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
www.d-h.st/sVF

Did anyone try the TWRP port? (link above) I need to know if it works , if it doesn't then i'll have to switch the resolution and build a new twrp port
[Blade General] kudzo:
Why you dont try ? You have grand x pro so what is a problem?
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
Well , because I like CWM more than TWRP.

Edit: Will try flashing it today. Wil post the results. One good thing I did in CWM was a Key Test. It is confirmed that this device can run touch recoveries. Now someone should port 4ext touch recovery too.
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
It works for me...

Edit: possible bug, you might get a black screen sometimes. If you have such problems, I will give you a lower resolution TWRP.
[Blade General] heraSK:
finally had some chance to try twrp. it works, but i decided against it as i too like cwm or 4ext more. but when i tried rebooting the device it gave some errors and didn't reboot the phone, it just stuck. before i chose reboot recovery informed me that there's no OS installed (rebooted manually w/o problems). i don't know if it helps...

EDIT: more problems. i've reverted to cwm but suddenly i can't enter the recovery mode and the phone says my sd card is broken. when i try to enter recovery the phone shuts down itself completely. any thoughts?

EDIT again (LOL, i know): i've managed to install CMW, i downloaded new file because the one i had might have gotten corrupt if sd card was fault. and this time the sd card was perfectly visible in cmw recovery and i could mount it and see in windows (before i could not at all). so i run windows file check, it found some errors and fixed it, so everything is working fine now. i don't know if it's TWRP's fault in some way (it did report some errors) but here's the info if anyone encounters the same issue...;))
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
So it works.. I don't really have much time to fix bugs, so I made a bug tracker post, so someone might save their phone from turning into paper-weight.

Bugs:

Errors when reverting to kudzo's CWM, semi-bricks phone! Fixable using SP Flashtool ,just ask me for a backup. (Thanks to HeraSK).

SDCard bug, breaks SDcard, solution On The Way ASAP.
[Blade General] dzenis:
Hey,I dont really know how this custom roms work,I have a ZTE Grand X Pro its my first android phone before i have used iPhones but now wanted to check is android and oponion for me but now i dont know is there a custom rom for my phone and if someone could send me a link maybe how to set a custom rom and how to flash a custom sistem on a android phone are they any tutorials which are good made cause i looked on youtube and they are many videos which are only ****. Ty for help
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
Hi dzenis!

I am currently working on a custom ROM.

I guess that you are new to the root world , so let me tell you a few things you need to get ready to flash a custom rom.

First , flash a custom recovery using MobileUncle Tools.

Download my TWRP port or the CWM port kudzo made, and put it on your sdcard (not in a folder , on the sdcard).

Open MobileUncle, select Recovery Update and then select the .img file you downloaded. It's best to rename it into rec.img or recovery.img

Second, reboot into recovery and make a Nandroid backup. (Turn off your phone , hold volume down and power to enter recovery mode. It can take a few tries...)

Once you are in CWM, go to backup & restore, and select backup.

In TWRP, select system , boot , recovery and optionally, data.

Reboot your phone into Android.

kevinrus123 should release a Custom ROM for the Grand X Pro, and I will release a de-odexed rom (I don't know if it works....)

Third, put the custom ROM onto your SD Card.

Reboot into recovery, and go to flash ROM.

Select the .zip you downloaded and flash it.

Do NOT flash ANY custom ROM....

Only the custom rom FOR YOUR DEVICE will work with your device.

Hope this helps you!

Sincerely,

TeamMaverick
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
It looks like we can forget it :(

The backup saves the system folder with an ext4 format , and the frameformat....it can only handle ZTE devices.
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
Can a Nandroid backup help?

(system.img)

EDIT:

Can this help ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1588461

It says how to extract ext4 system.img...
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
I don't need img extract since CWM can't handle with img flashing , nothing supports img flashing.
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
Oh.... well I'll post my debloated ROM soon. Lets see if that helps.

Rom is ICS (the best) ,modified to be faster, deodexed, debloated, prerooted...

The first release will be out tomorrow.

In the next release I will Zipalign apks and jars... and maybe a OTA updater.
[Blade General] heraSK:
and how about plain ol' 4.2.2 cm10.1 or aokp rom?
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
Not yet... I got to become a better dev for that. And I need a better PC for that. Mine is a 13 year old bucket that was upgraded a bit.

TeamMaverick's Custom ROM for Grand X Pro

TeamMaverick's Custom ROM

Grand X Pro Edition

~ The fastest ICS custom ROM for the Grand X Pro ~​

ROM Characteristics :

-

De-odexed and De-bloated - Go ahead , download ROM Toolbox and customize your theme :laugh:

-

ROM is already rooted and has busybox installed on it

-

NEW Launcher: Nova Launcher - Phone is a lot faster than the ZTE one. Enjoy the speed!

- /!\ MAYBE /!\ Longer battery life

Current version : 1.1 beta - ICS

Download the rom here - ROM is broken, still uploading

To be done...​

- OTA Updater:

Select between JB/ICS ROM (JB ROM will be out in a month or so)

Select a odexed or a deodexed ROM

Add apps to be downloaded after ROM is updated (maybe)

-

Zipalign APK's

- Give your suggestions to me what should I add to the rom (app, system app mod...)
[Blade General] heraSK:
didn't you say you won't be making JB rom yet? ;) oh boy, oh boy. this brings back the memories of awaiting new Desire roms. :)

you asked for suggestions: my wish is a clean, stable (as good as it gets) 4.2.2. JB rom, as stock as possible. any app that I wish I can get separately. this isn't a request, just a wish. ;) you do what you can, I'm sure it'll be better that (now) old ICS.

go for it man. do your magic! and thanks...
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
Allright, I'll look into porting that bro.

ETA is a few months (1 or 2)

Oh, so the ROM works?
[Blade General] heraSK:
haven't tried it yet. I've noticed it's in exe format. is it self extracting archive? because if it's an installer, because of my broken usb ports i can't install it via PC...
[Blade General] kozimcfly:
I can't install the zip, when i try cwm give me a status 6 error :s
[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
To heraSK: I will upload the zip then. (Yes it is a SFX)

To kosimcfly: Did you run the SFX .exe? Or did you try to flash the .exe in ClockWorkMod? If you want , re-download the ROM in about 6 hours.
[Blade General] kozimcfly:
no i flash the update.zip in cwm :s

First of all it is great to see that there is new rom for grand x pro. Phone is great and it will be better with new rom :) GREAT WORK GUYS.

I have one question. this is offtopic, but i know that you can help me.

When i want to add email from gmail on google play it says every time that it is not possible to contact with customers service.

Maybe it is about temporary problem or your android device does not have access to data usage.

I am from Croatia and i try to wright text from croatian to english, but i think taht you understand the problem.

Sorry again for offtopic, but i really dont know what to do.

THX!

Enable Non-market apps installation in settings > security

Go to http://is.gd/jevzOq and download the .apk

No need to login, you get a real market... I think of replacing the market on the ROM with that one...

ROM is being fixed (a few people bricked their phone due to invalid META-INF code...) All fixed now & being uploaded!

[Blade General] TeamMaverick:
I think you can try to use a iPhone 5 case (not sure), but the good ones are out in the U.S like this one: https://www.elementcase.com/Sector-5-Black-Ops-iPhone-5-Case-p/api5-1021-kk22.htm

There are some cases with Gorilla glass on them, but I dunno.

As for additional equipment, you can use a generic Android USB cable to replace the charger cable, but for other stuff , you got to find something from a similar device , for example the JiaYu G3...

Hope it helps!

P.S: There is a Grand X Pro service center in BiH, near Mostar... Agram Servis d.o.o , I don't know the phone numbers , but for about 800-900 KN they fixed my broken screen...
[Blade General] heraSK:
great, KitKat is starting to roll to many devices already and yet we're still stuck with ICS. I've sent another mail to ZTE about an upgrade but no answer yet.

I managed to make a custom rom with android kitchen but have one problem, wifi not working.

He pas the boot and everything is more or less ok,some small bugs what I will fix.

The problem is not in making custom ROM and we will make one for shure,problem is now that I dont have a pure stock rom of zte grand x pro.

My was being edited to much and I dont have not even one backup or rom dump with pure stock rom.

I need some things from stock rom and hope that someone can upload one bc I need to compare with mine.

I have a (near) stock ROM , just the system folder?

I can send it to you if needed...
[Blade General] cadmium_bg:
Great!!! I guess that everyone with Grand X Pro is waiting for a custom rom!!! Hope it will be ready for day to day use soon!!! Keep it going guys!!!
[Blade General] kudzo:
Hello there, here you have a custom rom : https://www.dropbox.com/s/qeafb6uty5mthpt/GrandxPro.CustomRom.0B01.zip

We still have a couple of small things that need to be repaired but nothing big.

First of all you need to download the Nova launcher.apk or whatever you want

Nova is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wbyaia8t9kbehve/Nova Launcher Prime v2.1.apk

Link2sd is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ljqq5tsikgp1fz5/Link2SD v2.4.10.apk

And finally any keyboard you want

Perfect keyboard is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3vskfyvt02b5204/PKPv1.5.0.apk

Put these apk to sd card or phone memory and the zip file(custom rom)

I hope that you have already installed the CWM recovery and if not then

you have a post of teammaverick how to do that.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2461603

Before you start make sure you have backed up the phone in CWM recovery.

Ok now go to cwm recovery and make this:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache/

wipe dalvik cache/

reboot recovery

install zip from sd card or phone (depends on where you put the zip file)

Once installation is complete reboot device

You will get welcome screen what you have in attached thumbnails

Do not do anything here and write, just click next and next until you reach the finish after you click finish you will get

Unfortunately,Setup Wizard has stopped and there click Ok.

Now you will get just black screen,click on power buton and after that one more time. Now you have eassy acces screen

and there click on + icon,where you can add what you want to have in eassy acces. Choose file manager click power button

again and now through eassy acces go to file manager.

Find there Nova.apk or whatever you want launcher apk and install after installing open launcher and you have working screen again :)

Like you see in Attached Thumbnails I removed youtube,gmail,googlemaps etc so first of all you need to install link2sd,make partition of sd card(find tutorial on xda) open link2sd and make auto link under settings. So you will install that removed app through play store and you will get all that app on sd card.

But before going to play store you have to do one more thing and that is the installation of Perfect keyboard or what you want.

Install keyboard from sd card and enable in settings

That's it, now you have a fully functional phone and do what you want,connect to the Internet, create

your account, etc.
[Blade General] kudzo:
And just one more thing people I do not have enough time to play with the phone,if someone is able and

willing to do he can fix that wizard error and keyboard,please be patient and give you a bit of effort to help

all of as to get best rom what we can.

enjoy

How to flash recovery:

Downloads :

CWM 5.0 - safe build

CWM 6.0.1.0 - warmly recommended

TWRP - Highly NOT recommended

This is about 90% safe to do...

THIS CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE

Download the CWM port by kudzo, my CWM 6.0.1.0 or my TWRP port (whatever you like more, recommend CWM 6.0.1.0 - simplest recovery...)

Put it on the root of your sdcard (internal or external, doesn't matter)

Download MobileUncle Tools from Play Store.

Open MobileUncle Tools , select recovery update.

Select the recovery image you downloaded, click yes. DO NOT REBOOT AFTER THIS!

[Blade General] DarkIce:
Hi everyone!

Here I put link to files for flashing ZTE Grand X Pro if someone has soft bricked it. It is not a custom ROM, but modified original one from phone sold by Bulgarian GSM operator Mtel. This rom is - rooted, with CWM, Nova launcher (replaced the original one), memory resized (1,5G for programs and 1G as storage). ALso there is a few system programs (which you can remove if you want) and adobe flash player.

To flash it use the program in the archive "MTK65xx_flashtool_pass_123.7z". The archive has password "123".

There is md5 sums for the whole archive and inside for each file.

To flash it first load the scatter file and do format (the first/left button on the program). Then flash the files.

I hope it will help someone.

For questions, please write mail to darkice.mail@gmail.com or service@technosmartbg.com , because I haven't got a lot of time to check frequently the forum.

Here is the link to the folder with the files:

You just need to follow it. The flashing software is with exactly the same look, just the version which work is the one in the archive.

If you did not install the driver for MTK chips then take it from the same folder with the ZTE rom on my Google Drive. I have just uploaded them.

It seems that the writer of the TUT haven't gave link to them.
