I haven't tried it yet because someone told me about a camera bug... but i'd like to know more about it... I tried searhing in this thread... and everyone seems to talk about the camera bug, but i don't see what the bug is about.
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Photos appear pinkish
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Hey Guys.

I've said it already, that i don't have that GPS issue.

And its pretty obvious, this GPS bug only happens to people that needs to Change The modem.bin And thats The only file that differs from this build.

People that have The extended userdata MOD, i already explained, that with this mod, your external SD card will become "internal" memory.

This is one of The CONS.

You can try using The vanilla stock phone partitions, and then use an APP like link2sd or app2sd so that you can moove your apps to The external SD card.

Also on Android 4.2.x you cant moove apps to SD, since Google removed that option, you can try The above options.

I will release an update on The next weeks . It will include some patched Android kitkat 4.4 apps, and other small things.

Dont ask for ETA ;)

I've been busy with another project, and i just lack The time to work on 2 platforms. And since The ROM is pretty up stable...

Will keep you informed

B.Regards

I`m still on Stable 1 (September 15 2013) this work like a charm for me :p here i don`t have the gps bug
[ZTE Grand X V970] rj2k:
Stable as a rock here.

No GPS issues since last update. Only concern is the pinkish camera. Superdragon will that be fixed?
[ZTE Grand X V970] n0v4c41n3:
Thanks superdragon..very stable and no gps and storage problem on last update stable v1.2..but im facing a wifi connection problem while bluetooth pairing..the wifi connection very poor while i make a bluetooh pairing with my beatbox speaker..
[ZTE Grand X V970] rj2k:
Dalvik JIT code cache tuning, kernel samepage merging (KSM), swap to zRAM, and other optimizations help manage memory.

New configuration options let OEMs tune out-of-memory levels for processes, set graphics cache sizes, control memory reclaim, and more.

The core system processes are now trimmed to consume less RAM and less battery. New APIs are introduced to help developers create efficient applications.

Will this be a part of the new stable version of your JB.4.2.2 ROM? :D
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Well, you not having that issue doesn't mean you shouldn't look into it. It is a pretty heavy bug which is causing battery drain and that doesn't make a ROM actually very stable IMHO...

I don't think he'll be adding such core features as they are very tied to the Android core which changed a lot in KitKat. He talked about apps, and they don't carry those mods with them. As far as I know, anyways.

Invalid imei

Hallo, ich habe gute 6 Stunden daran gesessen um die IMEI Nummer an zu geben leider Ohne Erfolg.Habe alles was im Internet gibt alles probiert wieder ohne Erfolg.

Ich bitte um Hilfe wie ich es wieder heil machen kann.

Ich brauche erstmals Official Rom. Habe 20 Custom Probiert hat nichts geklappt.

Hi, I've tried good 6 hours it sat about everything on the Internet number to give the IMEI unfortunately without Erfolg.Habe again without success.

I ask for help how I can do it again.

Ich hab das 4.2.2-ROM sammt Speicherpatch ohne Probleme laufen.

How have you lost your IMEIs?

I got the 4.2.2-ROM working without any problems, including the extended_userdata_mod.

I could send you a backup.

I hope, you have at least one of the Recover-Mods running?

Hi, would be very happy, if you send me the file.

[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
well i had two of this phones, i just sold one, and bought myself an nexus 5.

i still have one v970, but i dont use it too much now.

The update will only be related to the integration of the new Google apps.

The big issue is the camera, the photos with the correction fix, are not so bad. As for the video you will need to fix it with softwre on The PC.

As for an permanent solution, only way is by compiling an new kernel and add extra camera modules.

Problem is, the camera module used by zte. is not present in any of the MT6577 available sources.

Believe me when i say this, i worked around the clock for over one month trying to fix the camera issue.

Only kernel will fix it, but i need the module source.

You can thank zte and Mediatek for the lack of sources...

For start is hard to mod an MTK rom, since its not fully AOSP.

If you really need an fully working camera go for [MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] JB 4.1.1 ROM.

If something new comes up, i will of course add the new fixs.

Thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
thank you for all your hardwork. anyway, is a working 4.2.2 rom with working 5mp camera is enough for you?

because i've found a mtk6577 device with 5mp camera with 4.2.2 rom (not sure whether the camera is working or not)

device name; cink slim , (in malaysia, named ninetology i9400)

this is cink slim

this is ninetology i9400, mt6577, released under ninetology's brand. based on the speaker position, flash position, camera position, safe to assume that they're both the same phone. 5mp camera is written there.

i am a malaysian, and from what i know, this device doesnt get the 4.2 update. but the cink slim does.

now, this is the link to the forum with 4.2.2 rom for this device. have a look maybe? (but then again, im not sure whether the camera is working or not)

http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/165411-rom-degrus-jb-422-291013/
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Thanks for your reply. Those wiko phones have an different LCM/ and camera drivers, ZTE as far as I know is the only brand that uses this camera module.

Actually the best close module to ours is the one from noir a8.

I have some last options to check but wont be an easy task.

Well lets see.

EDIT: Now I know why my dev-host files had so many downloads ...

The MB 4.2.2 ROM the wiko phone is using is my own Rom lol, for that firmware the only thing to change is probably just repack boot.IMG with his kernel, and modules...

Its right there on their forum, its my Rom, so yeah same issues

Thanks again
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
zte is the only one? sigh..

thank you for your time. :good:

one last device that i know with 6577+5mp is i-mobile i-style 7.1 from thailand (not sure whether this is rebranded from some other manufacturer like micromax or whatever)

found forum for their device: http://droidfriend.com/forums/index.php/board,149.0.html?PHPSESSID=107e9e737e70efceb2fcbdd42960f296

but then, most threads there shows that their ROMS are basically ported from some other 4.2.2 version, including yours.. :crying:

anyway, that is all i can do. im just trying to help with the knowledge that i have with devices in my region. ;)

once again, thank you for your contribution. sorry for wasting your precious time with my limited knowledge. i know how it feels when some noobs suggesting stuffs that are not related to the kind of thing you're working on. lol. :fingers-crossed:

anyway. im done here. wont bother you again. :p

good luck for whatever project you're doing on. :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Thanks :good:

But like i said, i didnt lost all hopes lol

I've been working on something to fix our camera for the past 3 weeks ;)

At least on adb logs, i managed to fix some errors...

Thanks for your support :cool:
[ZTE Grand X V970] sevencd:
First, thank to your hard work for this fone, I know the limit of mtk chip from your post, and this fone was released for more than 1 year, and nearly end its' technical circle life, we should satisfy with the rom cause it's cant improve. But, hope you still support in the future if any new things come. ^_^…

And, how about the miui version of this rom? I used to used miui and lewa rom, and love the way they manage things in android.

Lewa is now release lewa v5 (4.1.2) but miui is stop. Hope you can built a version miui in your miui thread! Thanks!
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Thread Upgraded to XDA DevDB ;)

Yeah i build an MIUI version based on my 4.2.2 ROM

But since it got KANGed i really lost the funn to continue that build.

Maybe i can pick again on the MIUI v5 Rom, Maybe...

Ontopic:

New Rom coming soon, and its not just about adding some KitKat apps, i have been working on some funn things (camera is the same..needs new kernel...), i think you guys will LOVE the new build :cool:

Take Care

[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Yeah i know those ROMs and Phones, but thanks for your time.

(The Base rom is the same ...)

The problem is the camera on our phone's hardware. Those roms may work fine on other phones, because their cameras (even being 5MP) are compatible with AMOI's *libs.

In the case of our ZTE, they aren't .

The camera module used in our phone, is not present in any other MT6577 phone. Looks like ZTE really choose the cheapest camera they found.

Ontopic: The new build needs some fixs, i have shared the new build with our FB Group, and it still needs some fixs, before i upload to XDA devDB.

Will keep you informed .

The sound level of voice speaker (earpiece) is little bit lower than nomal. I tweaked in MTK eng. mode/Sound but nothing be improved, just loudspeaker is effected.
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
The earpiece won't have much of improvements.

Just be careful with the sound values you Input, I recommend an max value of 145.

Most of the guys out there make it 160, but on an medium term, the earpiece and speaker will be damaged.

145 is the safest .

Take Care
[ZTE Grand X V970] wtel:
Thanks so much for bringing such a great ROM to us.

I wonder if you could give a hint about modifying the FMRadio app.

I find when using earpiece, the minimum volume is still too loud. So I installed GravityBox to increase the level of adjustment for music stream, great for music playing.

But the problem is that the built-in FMRadio app is using system stream as output and the mod of GravityBox is not effective. So I tried to modify the FMRadio app to see if possible to change the output stream to the music one:

Decompile the FMRadio.apk

Modify all smali file by:

Change parameter of setAudioStreamType to 0x3 (AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC)​

Change parameter of setVolumeControlStream to 0x3​

Recompile FMRadio.apk, sign it, push to /system/app, chmod 644, reboot

But with the above modification, the output is still system stream. Do you have any idea?
[ZTE Grand X V970] wtel:
I have checked more thoroughly. The above change won't work because the FM stream is controlled at much lower level in native library and is really hard to alter it.:(
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Yeah, you can't make any changes on the apps itself

But wait for this weekend, the new build will be uploaded.

It brings something new on sound, and it may fix your issue

integrating xuimod into this rom is also good. various transitions and stuffs can be changed. cool stuffs actually. check it out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477558

this is my setting personally,

listview animaton - wave(right)

listview interpolator - bounce

blacklist- facebook app

window transitions - TN transitions

others are default. try it out, recommended. the whole animation thing will be changed, from twitter, to whatsapp, to wechat, everything. and the "smoothness" will always retain. infact, you'll love it.

but, in the case of integrating it into the ROM, i'd suggest that to set it at default and let the users to go with their own settings that they prefer. because, when it is there, integrated, people will acknowledge about it and start to use it. :D

edit; blacklist "facebook" app in listview animation. it works in there, but somehow, it doesnt render as nice as twitter's.

Hi bro, i have SD problems with this last version than the previous version didn't have... First, some apps gives FC like Apollo, pixlr and Viper after settings, i have clean all data apps (or reinstall the app) for work fine... Second, ​​now from before yesterday the ROM mount and unmount the SD all the time, re installed the ROM two times after that and now reads the SD card as secondary memory

PD: Yes! i have memory extended with Bruno script memory
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Concerning stability i would go for the v1.2 for now.

Didnt had much time to test this v1.3, and it seems i messed some things up with the new mods.

Since the Zte is not my primary phone, i really dont have much time to test the new builds.

And yeah, bruno's extended userdatada Mod, does have some issues on 4.2.x.

I would go for the stock partition layout + foldermount ;)

regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] HidEaL:
Just a quick feedback on v1.3:

All is working

very

well. Not even the extended data mod is causing any problems. 3G on SIM 2 is also working, which was a must have feature for me.

Furthermore, the current launcher is very appealing and fluid enough (there's a bit of a slowdown when first opening the app list, but that's all). I really like it.

The only minor glitch I experienced was that the battery meter froze (1 time only, full system reeboot solved it). There is the camera thing, but we all knew that already.

As for requests, I know xposed framework is built-in, but the xposed installer could be acessible from the app list, so one can manage the various modules (and updates for said modules). This is easily solved by installing the xposed installer apk, but it would be nice to have it nontheless.

All in all, 99,9% excelent work superdragon :good::highfive:
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Thank you for those kind words.

The xposed installer is Built-in, but not the .apk, it will be added on the next version.

It will take some time for the next release to go live, since im currently trying to compile an new kernel, i just got some new sources that i would like to test.

[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
I've been working on this for some months now, as you can imagine without Mediatek's source (and the Zte configs) it's hard to work on.

But since the guys from another Mt6577 phone managed to build an custom kernel some months ago, i started with that route also, the sources need ALOT of work and modifications to work on our phone.

Til this day, i managed to get kernel working on our device and it boots up nice, unfortunately the touchscreen doesnt work (this is an kernel driver), so it still needs alot of work on it...

Compiling an kernel its easy (for me), the problem is modifying the sources, and then fixing all the kernel compiling errors and this is pretty time consuming.

Work is being done, and i hope in this next upcoming year, we get an brand new kernel ;)

B.regards, and Merry Xmas ;)

* Wipe Data

* Wipe Cache

* Wipe Dalvik Cache

* Format /System

* Install the rom zip

* Install GAPPS

*Reboot
