Simply take your photos, then go to "Adjustment" -> "Auto fix" thats it ;)

Easy as 1...2....3...

[ZTE Grand X V970] HaiKara Fan:
Excellent work like always, bro but where's "Developer Options", i don't see it :eek:
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Hey man, nice ROM you cooked there, it's good to know that MT6589 stuff can be mixed with MT6577 stuff :)

However, I have the dual-sim version and I'm stuck with 2G on both SIM cards. If I choose "WCDMA only" it shows the SIM number with a red X below it as SIM icon. I tried replacing the /system/etc/firmware folder with the one in the JB 4.2.2 but it's a no-go. I haven't tried with other files yet. The no-3G-available bug got fixed replacing the modem.img as usual. However, the 3G switch doesn't work (I always have 3G on the 3G SIM slot, not the other one) but it didn't work either without the modem.img replace, so, for me, that feature doesn't work on this phone, or something must be missing :P

Also, the status bar background has an ugly graphical bug. I wonder why don't you just leave it google-style? it works and it isn't that ugly IMHO. For everything else there's Xposed Theme Manager lol.

Another thing, boot.img isn't pre-rooted. I can't "adb push" stuff like in the JB 4.2.2 :P

Aaaand what the guy above me said - the developer options menu is missing :(

Other than that, the ROM feels faster and better than the previous one however the SIM card bug is a stopper for me so I'll have to go back to 4.2.2 and since I got the 3G bug fixed with the modem.img replacement, Imma stay on this one for a while :P

If there's something you'd like me to try in order to fix those bugs I'm at your service.

Keep it up!
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
It's an known fact, that for acessing the DEV Options:

Look for "About device" at the bottom. Tap it.

Hop on down to the build number, and tap it seven times. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. You'll get a little prompt saying you're about to unlock the developer settings. Hit that button one final time -- seven! -- and they're unlocked.

The BT driver is the same as 4.2.2.

Also about the "status bar bug", it's not an bug, the status bar was modded with 25% transparency.

If you dont like it, you can always use the Gravity Box module to give more transparency or the stock look, like i said this is an modded build with extra features.

Can enyone else confirm if the 3G switch is working on both SIMs?

My tester told me it was working fine, but someone here said that it doesn't.

Thanks

Well now children, thread has been cleaned. If anyone can not somehow find a way to post/reply in a respectful, mature manner, then I strongly suggest you step away from the screen and keep it to yourself. Also, just in case some of you "forgot" or "didn't bother to ever read them in the first place", here is a list of the rules of the forum:

2. Member conduct.

2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s. Please think about who is reading what you write and don't use profanity, sexually explicit language, rudeness or swearing. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.

2.3 Flaming / Lack of respect: XDA is about sharing which does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) or rudeness. Flaming or posting with a lack of respect is not acceptable. Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can, showing respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

I'd pay real close attention to those in particular if I were some of you. :)

Carry on.
[ZTE Grand X V970] HaiKara Fan:
yeah bro i know but clearly i said that it's "rare" that not to be active "for default" in system (as if it's in your ROM 4.2.2), that's all ;) no problem with that... and the other question is (I quote my previous comment): I have problem with the app "walpaper wizardrii" says SD card not active but with the others apps works fine... and i trying download something in the browser says no sd card or something like that, more people reported the same

OFFTOPIC (in general) a little bit of respect and humility always is good... always good to say things in a good way and more when you talk to someone you don't know at all, it's my opinion... regards ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Thanks for the Clean Up ;)

Well the majority of the custom roms. have the DEV options visible by default (like my others Roms btw), i didnt give it much importance, as an simple GoOgLe Search Points you in the right direction.

Also i was more worried in the stability (maybe you didnt noticed) but this rom is an MIX of MT6577 + MT6589 SoCs ROMs.

About your error, Let me guess: Are you using the extended Userdata MOD?

We all know the pros, and cons when using that MOD.

Also you said some apps, works fine, and others not...

Well some apps will look your external SD card in :

/sdcard0

Others will look in /sdcard0 and /sdcard1

Thats something the app developer should look into

Thanks for the feedback.
[ZTE Grand X V970] HaiKara Fan:
yep! that's true, thanks for your work and yes, i noticed that is a mix between MT6577 (Amoi N820 port) and MT6589 (Micromax A210 port), you clearly specified that on page 1 :laugh: btw nice job ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] mickeygriman:
hi, SuperDragon ..... excellent job you have done with our v970 ..... excuse my English ........

* I'm from vzla ..... install the 4.2.1 rom but have a problem at least to me going on the SD says not activated when I try to download from the browser says no SD so neither me nor operate the camera app Pixlr. ..... I would appreciate the help to fix this problem ... thanks

* I congratulate you for your great work
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Well, in your previous ROM version it

wasn't a known fact

. It is logical that some of your users (including myself) got confused because of that due to the reason that if you mod your previous versions and release a new version, you should keep the same mods through versions or at least show them in the changelog. The changelog doesn't say anything about that the developer options menu behaviour was reverted to default google behaviour...

Same with the transparency mod, that wasn't mentioned in the changelog, and also, we say it looks like a bug because it looks like this:

Ugly :P looks like it has a texture that doesn't look good when used in transparencies. Maybe you could change the file used for the status bar background so it looks better?

As for this, the 3G switch works in a visual way. It doesn't do anything but to disable 3G on the 3G SIM slot, and the GSM SIM slot remains untouched (always 2G).

Great ROM so far though, the only complaint I have is that please detail your changelogs because we don't have a magic ball that tells us what did you decide to change/edit/delete/add and then expect us to google something because it's a known fact :P
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Please refer from now one, if your using the extended userdata MOD.

As this mod messes some apps, in some roms.

I said it was an known fact becouse by default in Android these Dev options aren't visible, i think i spoiled you too much :)

Will change to the default status bar background in the next version...

As for the 3G switching, my friend and tester (from Germany) it works fine for him, maybe it's related to the fact you need to change your modem.bin, if so, then it means it will only work in some GSM/Networks Bands.

Already explained in above
[ZTE Grand X V970] mickeygriman:
yes, SUPERDRAGONPT. i'm using the extended userdata MOD. could you please help with this problem.... thx

Thanks for the ROM, everything works perfect ex. bluetooth. Is there any chance to fix this? On Bruno Mod everything was fine, Tablet Talk worked perfectly, as well as my bluetooth set in car. On this ROM I've got constant reconnect :(
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
And please PLEASE fix the gps bug because it's draining battery by activating the GPS almost everytime :(
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Ok, i will look into it, when i have the time

I can understand your excited with that project, but please don't spamm other's threads.

As for that project, im sorry to tell you, but the problems are the same as Cyanogen, there are no framework and Network Sources for compiling ...

So NO sources = NO rom

Whats the exact problem with your BT ?

Mine connects just fine

What do you mean by GPS bug?

GPS is working just fine, make sure what apps you installed in your phone, and whats causing it.
[ZTE Grand X V970] netespl:
When paired with my N7 and running Tablet Talk it keeps reconnecting, so Tablet Talk doesn't work. I have same problem with bluetooth loudspeaker set in my car.

[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Well this is a clean install, only apps I have installed are:

Facebook, Perfect Launcher, WhatsApp, Pixel Dungeon, Dropbox, Galaxy TD, Month Calendar Widget, Google Keep, Hangouts, OpenTyrian (I recommend it :P), SMS Scheduler, Titanium Backup and Terminal Emulator. Aside from the stock apps, I don't know what else could be causing it.
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
So if i understoud correctly your GPS is turning ON, by itself?
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Exactly! and even if I shut it off, in the battery log it shows as always on. I dunno what can I do to give you a log. Logcat will throw lotta junk, if there's a filter I can use or look for something in dmesg or any of the mtk daemons, tell me and I'll help :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
just one more thing, did you got this issue on the 4.2.2 Build ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Yes, in the latest 4.2.2 it happened too.
[ZTE Grand X V970] rj2k:
Ok my GPS is really weird. Speed is way over the charts (I run 100 meters and it measures already 1k). Tried with many apps. I reverted to Miui 1.6 and GPS is normal.

I 'll try with 4.2.1 build on this thread. Anyone getting the same issue? I already flashed 4.2.2 twice (after cache deletion) and problem remains.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

Btw, superdragon could you please tell pros and cons between 4.2.2 and 4.2.1 builds?

Thanks!
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
well, on another note, im not having any problem with GPS turning on by itself since the day 1 stable 4.2.2 was released. i dont have facebook apps on my list though.not sure whether it could be the cause. anyway, about gps speed being overestimated., cant confirm that.
[ZTE Grand X V970] jesuita:
Same thing hapenning here.

Works flawlessly on Bruno's.
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
on 4.2.1, long press the home button, (which usually leads to recent apps), causes systemui to fc.
[ZTE Grand X V970] vinamilk:
Jb 4.2.1 altered or swap internal vs external Sd card. I put my microSd now just only 1G and internal is same as you, always 2.05G but Rom swaps them !
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
It's becouse of things like this: http://bbs.lewaos.com/thread-169286-1-1.html

That sometimes i just think about quitting the development for the zte v970 ...:eek:

Thanks for the people that warned me about this.

No respect !
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
cant stop things like this. we're on the internet where things are publicly available. and hey, it is china. the country that is the best in copying things. even if you develop rom for nexus devices, it will still head towards china without your credits. heck, people from china shiits in the public without shame. they're just people with bad attitude. so, why bother about them?

i know, i just can say all those things and i dont understand you because i'm not in your place.. but, be strong anyway. :good:

ps; dont change your phone just yet because i will follow you. :silly: because you're one of the best dev i've seen in my time, porting a rom for mtk device is not easy and no other dev are willing to do it.. but, you've done it. i am very impressed :good::good:
[ZTE Grand X V970] mickeygriman:
Bro ........ Superdragon ..... You have to keep in this project ...... Here are we your fans will follow you
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
OK now that i cleared The things on The lewa forum, i can get back to work.

Expect an new release (JB 4.2.2 ) this weekend.

B. Regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] maurocds:
thanks a lot superdragon for your work

i am so happy to have 4.2.2 on this cheapo phone, even with camera bug

it was a pain to use 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 after using a nexus 4, but now 4.2.2 is great for use on the zte

---------- Post added at 08:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

yes i use 2g only, accuracy, well not so much, but it works

but my gps gets auto enabled only in 3g, in 2g this never happens
[ZTE Grand X V970] darkguy2008:
Haha, seems like it was a small issue there in chinese xD. Still, the guy who quoted you first is right - though I don't agree with the disrespectful (sp?) part, they're in a country with a very limited internet connectivity and censorship. It's understandable that they behave that way because most of them don't have much access to the outside world and don't know much about netiquette. Still, at least they apologized and credited you, good job :)

Glad to hear there is going to be an update :) keep it up !
[ZTE Grand X V970] BobBro:
Thanks

First off I just want to say a big thanks. You people that develop these ROMs for us are just great. I just got my V970 going after being down a few months and I was so happy to have 4.2.2 on the phone. It works great.

As someone that likes to play with custom ROMs on all my stuff (TF700, Ainol Aurora, Ainol AX1, HTC Incredible S, ZTE V970 and a bricked, fake HTC Desire V ) I want to thank all of you who put so much time and work into this stuff. You all are just great and bring me many hours of enjoyment ****ing around with my hardware.

I am in China too (living here almost 10 years-from the US) and all I can say is show them the way and at some point they learn. Yes all they do for the most part is copy and steal but that will chance with time.

Keep up the good work :cowboy::good::cool:

PS-for those that have bugs you should expect this with a custom ROM. It's OK to report a bug but do it in a nice way. Those of you that think there are too many bugs all I can say is go back to the stock ROM and talk to the people that made your phone and see how far you get. Oh and one other thing-shut the **** up.

[ZTE Grand X V970] rj2k:
Great job superduperdragonpt!

Can I install over 4.2.2 ver1.1 without wiping DATA ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Make an Backup of your current rom (use Carliv's Recovery it's currently the better)

Then follow instructions on the first page.(wipe's; etc)

1: Install the Rom

2: Then go back to Recovery and go to:

>backup and Restore

>Advance Restore

>Select your Restore Point

>Restore data

Reboot, and your previous data should be there.

Can you give us a comparision between 4.2.1 vs 4.2.2 ? Which one is better and more stable ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
just to clear one minor issue, in nexus 7, multi-user is under "device" tab. but under "mod" tab will do, dont mind where it is, up to you to change it in next update, as long as it is there, thank you. :good:
[ZTE Grand X V970] rj2k:
Superdragon, for me to understand 1.2 upgrade from 1.1, could you please explain?

Were this fixed with the patch provided on FB?

Are these only on build.prop?

Could you please elaborate?

Thanks again for this amazing ROM! :laugh:
[ZTE Grand X V970] HidEaL:
Hi all,

Once again, kudos for your great work superdragonpt, bom trabalho :)

I'd like to give some feedback regarding both 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 latest ROMs.

4.2.1:

The good:

- 3G switch on card 2 working perfectly (it was the main advantage of the 4.2.1 ROM for me).

- Rock solid stability wise.

"Not so good":

- Altough the system recognizes my external sd card, installed apps cant access it (eg: Evernote, GTA Vice City), even on a fresh ROM install. Also, i can't access my sd card when the phone is conected to my computer (storage mode) via USB.

- Automatic brightness adjustment not working. I had already reported this on the initial 4.2.2 ROM's, and it is still the same. That being said, the sensor seems to be recognized by the system and it appears to be functional (confirmed via Android Sensor Box), its just the auto brightness adjustment that doesn't work.

- I also experience the status bar bug reported by darkguy2008 and other users. I believe this was refering to the previous 4.2.2 ROM, but I had this bug on the 4.2.1.

- It feels slightly slower and less responsive compared to any of the 4.2.2 ROMs.

- Already known camera bug (pixlr is great at solving it though).

4.2.2 (Stable 1.2):

The good:

- This is my daily driver. Other than the fact that the camera doesn't work properly (solved by pixlr), it's really fast and solid.

- Wake up issue is fixed ***EDIT***

- No SD card issue (as experienced with 4.2.1)

- No status bar transparency bug.

"Not so good":

- Automatic brightness adjustment not working (same as 4.2.1).

- Already known camera bug (same as 4.2.1).

***- Wake up issue still happens after all, just seems less frequent

BTW, also switched to the Carliv Recovery, great work! Keep it up! Will donate ASAP, you sure earned it.
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
feature suggestion; automatically accept bluetooth incoming request for devices that has been paired. thank you in advance :good: :fingers-crossed:
[ZTE Grand X V970] Conny:
4.2.2 super work

For me -for this time- everything works, except the camera of course, no deep sleep issue,

all fast, light, easy working..

GPS OK

BT OK

WIFI OK

and so

and so

the best ROM for daily usage
[ZTE Grand X V970] pinsb:
Sorry to ask this here but I'm getting conflicting information elsewhere.....

Is there a single sim version of the V970? According to gsmarena there is only a dual sim version but someone is trying to convince me there is a single sim version.

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] maurocds:
yes, there is single sim,

also it has 1gb ram, powervr gpu, not tegra
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
well my version is the single SIM one, the ZTE v970.

then you have the ZTE v970m thats dual SIM ,the firmware works for both versions

.thats why my thread titles are always " ROM xxxx for ZTE v970 /v970m "

And guys the camera works very good if you use the pixlr APP and then use the "auto fix " feature.

Hi Superdragonpt,

How can we move apps from 512Mb memory to 2G internal storage ? Which method/app that is safe and stable for this ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Ramon españa:
Goodmorning, my name is Ramon, and I'm from spain.This morning I extended the memory of my zte v970 with the method explained in bruno's post. After I read that the phone memory is about 2,52 Gb, but the phone doesn't view the sd card, that is detected when i reboot the phone in recovery mod...Can anyone help me ?I need that the phone detect my sd card....

I tried everything but with custom roms the sd does not work, the only recovery that reads bruno sd is the original rom to 2.5gb partitions the sdcard disable if you read the sd and I have the 2.5 but with other roms do not care who are stock partitions there is no way to read the sdcard, thank you very much look forward solution and answer
[ZTE Grand X V970] BobBro:
SD Card/Phone Storage Problem

Does this happen to anyone else?

At any given time the phone will wake up and will say "Preparing Phone Storage" Checking for errors.

At this time the SD card is not availble and might have to wait up to 1 min for it to come back in so that apps can

read it. This can happen at any time.

This seems to be a problem with MTK chips as I have 2 phones, different makes with the same chip (MT 6575) that does this

and one tablet Ainol AX1 with a MT8983 chip (I think) that all do the same thing.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks for the help.:cowboy:
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
never had such problem, not on bruno's rom, not on this rom.. could it be your sd card acting up? :|
[ZTE Grand X V970] BobBro:
The same thing happens in both phones and one tablet with MTK chips. Have tried different SD cards-same thing. I can take the SD card out of this phone-ZTE V970 and put it in my HTC Incredible S and no trouble at all. Just did a full format with the card in the phone from my PC. Not a quick format, FAT 32, installed more apps and now the same thing again-Preparing Phone Storage. Over and over again-maybe once every 3 to 5 mins.
