[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Very thankful for your effort Superdragonpt, unfortunately, it seems to hang on boot (it's on bootanimation for +-30 mins now)
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
1: Check MD5 (Re-Download if needed)

2: If you have the extended userdata Partion MOD, You need to flash the second .zip.

3: Check Intructions

ROM TESTED:

-On my 2 Phones

-Got feedback from 3 other users, it's working ok.

Thanks for testing :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Did all that, still won't boot :( users on the Facebook are reporting it too. More important though, do you think wifi will be fixable? On my previous phone, the 4.2 rom's were all plagued by bad wifi (Huawei u8800)

Sent from my V970
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
OK.

DEV-HOST download its confirmed his MD5 is OK, also downloaded and flashed from the dev-host, and its booting and working.

DO you have the extended userdata MOD, or Not ?

Thanks

EDIT: FOUND THE PROBLEM: Do NOT Wipe Dalvik and Cache AFTER the rom instalation.

Will UPDATE OP
[ZTE Grand X V970] HaiKara Fan:

[ZTE Grand X V970] maurocds:
keep the good work, thanks

i will test it when it is more usable
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
4.3 is buggy. infact, it has been pulled out from OTA (on nexus device that are currently 4.2.2, you check for software update, it will say it is 4.2.2 is latest one, infact, few days ago, there was 4.3 OTA notification), since 4.2.2 is stable, i'd prefer to stay on 4.2.2 instead of 4.3. :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
[ FIXED ] Calls bug, now the rom is able to make and receiv. CALLS, no problems (15m of call test).

[ HALF FIX] Wi-Fi, i'm able to stablish an working Wi-Fi connection , but the conection only last between 1 to 3 mins MAX, then it brakes, and can only reconect after an reboot...

:D
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:

Rom Flashed:

here's my resume:

- External SD Card - keeps complainting about sd card damaged.

- Bluetooth ? (Don't have any BT Device) - doesn't turn on

- Fm Radio ? (Don't have my original Phones) - seems that theres signal, but frequency cannot be changed from 100Mhz. Even trying to change it to a know radio adding as 100Mhz to favorites and editing to something like 93.2Mhz a power signal radio in Lisbon radio won't shift.

Going throgh EngineerMode is possible to tune up a radio and listen.

- GPS (Not Tested) - not tested too

- Camera - yes, it's a little "pinkinsh" image, but seems to work,

Other bugs found:

- Can't go to About Phone - Gives "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"

Email/3G/Calls/Exchange Email/Exchange Calendar seems to be ok.

Good work!
[ZTE Grand X V970] maurocds:
wow thanks, great work, just a little bit more

bluetooth, not a big problem

radio, lol, people still use that?

microsd, ok this one is very important

will use your next beta3
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Radio: yes, people still use radio. Its not all about mp3 and online radio ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] ravsss:

Google Now issue

Google Search crashes when performing a search without Google Now.

When Google Now is installed, it crashes as soon as it opens.
[ZTE Grand X V970] tlac:
could you explain to me what's the reason for this?
[ZTE Grand X V970] ravsss:
I do not noticed problem with sound. Alarm wake me up on time, snooze works as well, and my phone rinigng normally. Wirless works good as well on my phone 3of4 bars so normal.

I've spoted only dificulty with keyboard. When i typing fast, or i hit back button with space or somtimes keyboard goes off.... i'm not sure about that. During the day will be continuing testing.

[ZTE Grand X V970] jackal666:
Hi superdragon!! hello world!

I've installed your last rom 1.1 and it's very good rom but I need your help for a problem....

On system setting all storage are displayed as phone memory and not as 1 phone memory + 1 sd memory.

Some programs (backup and restore, titanium backup etc..) for example don't work for this problem.

Android File manager display the memory card file as phone memory but Esfile explorer and other file explorer work correctly.

Please give me a solution for it!

thank u!!!!!
[ZTE Grand X V970] ravsss:
My titanium works ok @ my device.... but i had problems with restore some apps (e.x. bank app or PayPal app) Few times during restore proces stops, to continue i forced to killl tiatiunm, uncheck app who make problem, and continue proces.
[ZTE Grand X V970] jesuita:
Yeah, same thing happened here. Had to kill the app a few times in order to restore everything back.

About the 3G not working I had to install Bruno's rom, backup my APN's and restore them back on this rom. Seems to be working now.
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
There are no sound issues now.

All OK here!

Will check that issue.. maybe it's related with the minimal GAPPS included, did you installed the FULL GAPPS Package?

It's in the OP

What info do you need?

If you know how it works, just decompile the boot.img, and disable the service... :confused:

Im guessing you have the extended userdata mod right?

Thats normal, since you should already know, that when doing that mod, your external SD Card, Becomes Internal memory...

Yeah i really dont use titanium, but im guessing it's not full working on MTK JB 4.2.2 Builds.

Some other phone owners, using wthe same ROM Ported to their devices, and even the Original AMOI, are having some hard time to get Titanium fully working on this JB Version.

You should contact the TiTanium team, since its probably they will have to add some code to support MTK JB 4.2.2 Builds.

may i remind you, MTK Builds, are NOT based on AOSP Sources.

Well im guessing your using some special/uncommon data/APN Plan, since the "normal" vodafone APN is working just fine.

Also the ROM's APN List are from the Cyanogen Mod Repo, and they are the most completed and up to date. Still, i will check The JB4.1.1 ROM, and check your APN diffs..

B.Regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] jackal666:
Yes I've a extended userdata mod by bruno......

this problem has started when I installed a package for otp. After this installation, the phone could not see the SD card. I must to reinstall your rom and now I see my Sd card as internal memory... and the Otp not work... :(

this is normal??
[ZTE Grand X V970] Januh:
Hey guys i found a thing that i dont like... in the bottom of the screen if you put the finger in the bottom center it will pop up half moon of functions... i would like to know how i take of that....

i have been all day to try to disable that and no sucess :S
[ZTE Grand X V970] Andrian25:

[ZTE Grand X V970] tlac:
I'm just curious what was the reason to change your mind and re-enable the debug service.
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Im glad its all ok now.

That was an weird video lol
[ZTE Grand X V970] dankko:
Same here... :(
[ZTE Grand X V970] malony2:
I also have this problem
[ZTE Grand X V970] gigel87:
Yes but that its not the big problem ... The sound was for me
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Hey superdragon :)

Great job on this ROM ! I've been following it very closely. So far so great, except a few quirks but I can live with them (stupid camera drivers lol).

Anyways, I'm writing here because I enabled the Android Device Manager yesterday and allowed it to track my device and such but then I've noticed it auto-enables GPS no matter if I disable it or not. I've disabled the ADM in the google services and rebooted the phone and it keeps on restarting the GPS when the screen goes off.

Any ideas, you or anyone?
[ZTE Grand X V970] malony2:
today I have blackscreen on lockscreen when someone rang to me

phone ring but he dont wake up I saw blackscreen

I think is small problem with "power on"
[ZTE Grand X V970] HaiKara Fan:
same here
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
For the people that are having the blackscreen issues, can you please tell me when did this issue started?

And are you using the last update ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
i would need time to test that, since i've never used that.

im guessing you let the system update your google services and apps right?
[ZTE Grand X V970] dankko:
Yes, I'm using the last update and since than I've got that issue.
[ZTE Grand X V970] malony2:
me too, and increasingly,sometimes I cant wake up my phone:) i see about half second normal screen and later blackscreen
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Neither did I, but in this country where there's buglars everywhere you need to be safe xD.

Yes, I did let google update all my apps. I'm using the stable 1 though, I wanted to give the stable 1.1_v2 a try but I haven't because of the black screen bug so I'm waiting until it gets fixed to try with the new version :P
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Ok Then, for the people having blackscreen issues:

On the last update, i merged an script to improve the response of the phone, after unlock, weird but for some it did even worse... :rolleyes:

Ok using root explorer go to /system/ etc/ init.d and DELETE the "99proximity" script, and please delete only that script :)

On the next reboot, it should be better ...
[ZTE Grand X V970] malony2:
it's not help:(
[ZTE Grand X V970] dankko:
Didn't help..

And if you think that it help, I can tell you that under the black screen I can see the unlock bar (very badly), and if i try to unlock the screen, it works.
[ZTE Grand X V970] HaiKara Fan:
Yes! the last update

Ok, let me see...
[ZTE Grand X V970] malony2:
exactly
[ZTE Grand X V970] HaiKara Fan:
yep! that's right
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Guys please anwer me one thing?

How much RAM (memory) does your Phone has ?

512 Mb ? or 1 Gb ?

Also after deleting that file, you can try reboot to recovery and wipe Cache and dalvik .
[ZTE Grand X V970] dankko:
1 GB and wiped both...
[ZTE Grand X V970] malony2:
also my, and i wiped both too and didn't help,blacksreen ...under black its normal
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Does that happen on an stock fresh install ?

(with no 3rd party apps installed, or titanium backup recoveries, etc)
[ZTE Grand X V970] malony2:
YES on an stock fresh instal

with no apps instaled (only battery calibration app) no recoveries

i have only internal userdata MOD
[ZTE Grand X V970] gigel87:
Same here fresh install without any apps/backup/account if u want i will try to do logcat or something else if helps
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
I will provide 2 test patches in the weekend, as i dont have that problem

I think there are some minor changes in the sensores, depending on the build date. This is actually very common in other devices

...

Also im working on 2 new projects ;) 1 is an new rom 4.2.x rom and the other if i get it done, will be an nice contributition to our phone ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] maurocds:
bugs maybe? i said maybe, with 1.1 v2

1)using usb mpt, when i copy files always disconnects, maybe it is my win 8.1 x64 drivers

2)using swiftkey, in stable 1 and 1.1 i used swiftkey perfect, always on, with v2 the aosp keybopard always got activated, ihad to stop and freeze the app in order for swiftkey to be enabled by default

that aside very happy, working great

------------

please if you have the time could you make a list of zte mediatek apps that can be deleted without risk, i know you like stock mediatek, but i like stock android (i had a nexus 4) and those mediatek apps aere not there off course

[ZTE Grand X V970] gigel87:
Any updates about patches?
[ZTE Grand X V970] malony2:
anything new?
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Sorry guys i didnt had time this weekend to release the lockscreen patches. I had to work in the weekend.

Good news are, im working on an second rom this one is JB 4.2 1

So there will be two roms JB 4.2 x here.

This second rom should be better for the people that use 2 SIMS, as you have the option to toggle 3G for SIM1 or SIM2 :)

Im always working in something :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] Cruxy77:
Have you had any luck with the pink tint on the camera? That's the only thing stopping me from making this my ROM of choice.

Keep up the great work! :highfive:
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
YES... and... NO

Let me explain myself:

YES: becouse there is an aplication that you can install in your phone, and it will auto-fix your photos,

So you take your "pink" pictures, and then that application haves an option that will auto-fix your photos colours :)

(Actually it was an friend from our FB Page that found that app, thumbs for him :good: )

NO: because i didnt find an fix "out of the box".

So what im doing right now (besides the second JB 4.2.x rom that im working on...) is trying to get permission from the author's to include that app in the ROM, and maybe get that function source code, so that i can build an small app and add it as an function to the Default camera.app

B.regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
it is good for the community... but..... all time on the work is no good. take some rest too. :D unless doing all these make you happy and a good thing to fill up your time.. because at times, i also love doing similar stuffs like this, its addictive.. :D
[ZTE Grand X V970] Cruxy77:
Thanks for the reply. Can you name the app on this thread?
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
This one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixlr.express
[ZTE Grand X V970] jesuita:
I'm having some troubles with bluetooth..

I use it mainly in the car and with tablet talk app.

When using it in the car I can access the call log or the contacts, never happened before.

When using tablet talk it allways keeps disconnecting and connection again.

Anything I can do to trace this weird behavior?

Definitely a problem with bluetooth, pairing with my tablet through Wi-Fi works on tablet talk app works correctly.
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
^^ Yes this one ;)

Here you can see the difference:

Pretty good app.

The BT on Phones are not very compatible between other brands/models, this is an very known fact.

Take my example: i have an Nokia BT headset and it works just fine, but my other Nokia headset (and this one is newer) doesnt work...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW:

New JB 4.2.1 Rom coming soon ;)

Aroma installer logo ;)

Photo editing is not my thing, but i think it worked Ok...
[ZTE Grand X V970] ravsss:
So how I can understand, you will not fix camera problem?
[ZTE Grand X V970] HaiKara Fan:
great app! now we let's just f*cked up in video :silly: :lol:
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Dont worry about that.

Couple months ago, no one would think in having Android JB 4.2.2 for our device :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] HaiKara Fan:
That's true :rolleyes:
[ZTE Grand X V970] d_olalla:
What I didn´t understand is, why are you working on a previous Android OS version?? Isn´t 4.2.1 more buggy than 4.2.2??

I mean, I suppose that google launched 4.2.2 to solve some failures of 4.2.1

By the way, thank you very much for your hard and nice work!! :good:
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Its hard to explain.

yes 4.2.2 is more recent and with less bugs then 4.2.1.

Yes the new rom is 4.2.1, BUT with my 4.2.2 Rom as base.

So in reallity you will have 4.2.2 but with extra features (features that i could only find on 4.2.1) like the 3G change from SIM 1 to SIM2 and vice-versa, and other cool features (dont want to be an spoiler ...)

So the only bugs left are the photos/video pink colours.

As for the photos there's already an work-around,,, simply install the app we talked, and the pictures will be pretty good :)

As far, as an complete fix, well im still working on it, as you can imagine this bug is an pain in the A$$ :rolleyes: to fix
[ZTE Grand X V970] Cruxy77:
Hi superdragonpt,

Wrt the photo app. Can you advise what settings/changes you made to fix the photos please? I tried and my photos look like they were taken in the 1970's. I can start a new thread if you think that this is too off-topic.

Cheers
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Simply use that APP to take your photos, then go to "Adjustment" -> "Auto fix" thats it ;)

Easy as 1...2....3...
[ZTE Grand X V970] Cruxy77:
Thanks again. I hope beer is cheap in Lisboa! :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] jesuita:
Was going to question the same thing about photos with Pixlr :P

Yeah, they're pretty cheap in Lisbon! Can I get one too? :silly:
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Thanks for the Beer :victory:

Quick Update about the rom im working now:

- 3G switch seems to work just fine.

ROM usage report

Hi,

Been using this great ROM for nearly 1 week.

My phone is TMN A18 - ZTE V970 - single SIM, 1Gb RAM. Internal memory expanded

Here's my report:

- very fast and stable. Mixed with Xposed Framework, it's a really a$$ kicker! :cool:

- battery usage: I generally don't mind because I keep phone on many times a day but I can notice some very good inactivity time-vs-bat usage

- Camera pinkyish thing: pixlr express takes care of that. Taking photos with this phone does not arouse me that much so, I don't really mind this "issue".

- minor translations glitches on menus (using PT language) but not really a problem!

- auto brightness with this phone (ZTE V970) has always been a problem for me, even on others ROMS. (maybe sensor issue with my phone only??)

- under Definições -> Visualização -> Cenas the definitions app crashes while trying to open (already crashed before installing xposed)

- GPS: followed instructions and locking is really fast BUT I got this problem: velocity and distance are many times higher than real values!!

The positioning is correct, but all the GPS apps I used get the data wrong? Anybody got this issue too? I tried with both endomondo and MyTracks.

cheers :laugh:
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
This is due to the Scenes option menu launching a simple widget+wallpaper chooser in the default launcher. Since this ROM doesn't use nor has the default launcher APK installed, it crashes. Nothing to worry about - btw superdragon should remove it, I did in my yet-unreleased-ROM :P
[ZTE Grand X V970] maurocds:
maybe bug??

i always use 2g only

but i enabled 3g for a while, then the gps was autoenabled several times, and yes it was no app, using 2g, did not happened again
[ZTE Grand X V970] rj2k:
Sorry but I didn't understand. You used GPS with 2g only and with good accuracy?
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
I think he means the same symptom I had after allowing Google Device Manager to track my device, the GPS auto-enables itself (even if the status bar says it's off) and it's on until you shut the phone down (or connect it to the charger or USB). Weird stuff. I have 2 SIMs though, 3G-only and 2G-only (manually set), so, dunno if it affects.
[ZTE Grand X V970] TenkenS:
I got another issue, a guy in my Facebook group is having trouble connecting his games by data only the browser and messaging apps, while in wifi they connect, any idea what might be the problem?
