[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldohulk:
First, thank you for trying to help here, much appreciated. I had installed another gapps package that did not include google+. The packages I had already installed are the following:

* com.adnroid.vending.apk

*GmsCore.apk

* GoogleBackupTransport.apk

* GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk

* GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk

* GoogleFeedback.apk

* GoogleLoginService.apk

* GooglePartnerSetup.apk

* GoogleServicesFramework.apk

I tried adding GooglePlus.apk from your zip file to /system/app, together with the other files mentioned above. I tried to install it, but installation ends with the message "The application is not installed".

Is perhaps another file needed here from your zip file? I am a bit afraid to add them all.

And do you know of ANYONE who had success with installing Google+?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SalviaLover:
I was having the same problem with stock ROM. It wasn't just Google+, several other apps from my previous phone did not install on the Geek at all. This was fixed by flashing CWM Recovery and a customized Geek ROM from HTCMania Spanish forum discovered my . Not sure what the changed and how they did it, but not just Google+ all the apps that we not showing up in Google Play and were failing to install, worked like charm after installing their ROM.

Thanks, Browne81, Spanish HTCMania was the last place I would look for good ZTE Geek ROMs. Prior to the change I wasusuing mostly software from the Chinse ZTE forums, but they use other social netwroks behind the Great Firewall and Google+ wasn't much of an interest I suppose. :)

Dear friend

Are you sure that whan you replaced this file have you root access?

I explain better: to replaced this file i have used root explorer... Because It more easy and intuitive...

If this It OK It s necessary to known the version of playstore installed and if It correcy google+.apk....

Main point: i have installed google+.apk but i have deactive it (not unistalling) for some crash....i think It a problem on apk and not for the compatibility devices...

I hope to being helpful please thaks me on the button ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldohulk:
I am sorry, but I do not understand which file you are talking about replacing. I used ES file explorer.

The way I understand it from the last posts above:

* having Google+ on this device IS possible but..

* ... requires a special custom ROM

I have the B06+root+gapps (not all of them and not with the "Spanish" method). I'd like to avoid flashing a custom ROM though...

zte geek v975

Hello guys!

I am really considering purchasing this phone (fastcardtechdotcom 164 usd), however I need more info on the camera: aperture, sensor size, maybe maker and model.

Also some camera samples would be really, really, really helpful. And your general impression on the camera, how does it perform in various light conditions etc.

Another question - I'm not sure i get this right, is it dual sim or not?

So, owners of geek v975, can you please help me?

Thank you so much!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldohulk:
Sorry, can not help you her, but perhaps examining the EXIF info from the sample attached in this message might help.

Attaching a single shot at sun down.

Since I bought this at around $180, I expected the usual below quality photos, reminiscent of Motorola, small ZTE models like Blade/San Fransisco etc. I was *very* surpised to find that photos look quite pleasant, with no significant loss or detail, or color distortions. My reference was always the camera of a 1st gen Samsung Galaxy S, awesome photos. The V975 camera is a behind in quality but not by far. Considering the price difference, I'd say this is an awesome phone.

Be careful with its wifi though. In low- to medium- reception conditions, performance is the *worst* I have seen. All other phones manage to connect and download just fine, whereas this one struggles to even connect. In strong reception you'll not have any issues, but in other cases if your luck is anything like mine, you're screwed...

Single.

Tried GTA Vice City on my V975. Runs flawlessly with details maxed out, except some really, really rare occasions when there's a lot of smoke, flares, objects and stuff all over when it goes below 25 FPS. Dunno about NFS, for now. Gotta buy a bigger microSD card. 8 gigs became quite a scarce storage space nowadays :p.

Ordered my Geek from Minideal too. It came with Superuser preinstalled, but it wasn't working either. Rooting instructions from GlennRunciter's post should to the trick, but I opted for the harder and perhaps safer way. There were some extraneous applications when compared to my B03 ROM, notably MYZTE.apk. Hope GlennRunciter won't mind me for ripping the guts outta the .zip he provided. Anyway, I disassembled his update.zip and rooted my phone using a simple shell script I based upon the updater-script from the update.zip. If you feel adventurous, check the attached .zip file*.

* - It should be unpacked somewhere on your phone's memory (either microSD card or the internal memory, it's up to you) and executed as su (i.e. root) through adb shell. Made for and tested on B03. It should do no harm to your phone even if not using this ROM, but use on your own risk!

Maybe it's reinstalling the stock recovery on boot? Check this post by maxsiem if you're still having problems.

BTW, which ROM version are you running? I'd like to flash CWM too, but I don't know if it'll play nice with rooted stock B03 ROM.

Intel-based ZTE Geek V975, as well as the Tegra version (U988S), are both single SIM devices. Beware of the knock-offs (although I've seen none to date)!

P.S. goldohulk, regarding WiFi reception, have you tried applying the bcmdhd_43341.cal tweak (documented on 4PDA, HTCMania and myphone.gr)?

Hello guys

1. I bought 2 devices on January and I am very happy with them, no problems at all, BUT I should warn future buyers about wifi issue on devices after restocking, (last 3 months), as other guy mentioned above. So, you'd better look for some other device. It is a big risk.

2. CWM recovery fits perfectly, the right option to keep in memory is the third, "RECOVERY". I tested on B03, B04, B06 and my last one ROM from Malaysia.

3. The best ROM (undoubtedly) is from Malaysia and you can get it here http://www.ztedevices.com/support/smart_phone/ed99db11-3c50-4007-b560-a615d5e55d61.html. You better use a download manager because link is very slow. ROM is multilanguage with Googleplay installed but you should root by yourself.

4. Rooting process from here http://www.myphone.gr/forum/showthread.php?p=5186888#post5186888 post 300..

- no bloatware

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moorkai:
I don't know if this is an appropriate question for this thread, but there's no other ZTE V975 thread with so much attention and informations (while we're at it, maybe a decent thread or wiki page would help making all the data more accessible?) so...

How can I back up my recovery partition prior to flashing CWM? Maybe it'll be useful to retain warranty or for unbricking if something goes bad (let's hope not but, um, stercus accidit). I tried typing cat /proc/mtd but gives no results as there's no such file on my phone, while /proc/partitions and /proc/mounts aren't useful enough for me to decipher recovery's location. Tried using unmkbootimg, but got the File recovery_cwm.img not a plain boot image, seeking for embedded image ... not found. error.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldohulk:
IIRC, quite a few CWM packages for V975 include an image and a .bat file option to flash back the original recovery image.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moorkai:
That's okay, and I've seen some. I'm sorry, but I'd like to know how can I do it myself instead of eventually flashing a stock recovery image coming from an unknown firmware version. BTW, considering it's size, does the recovery.img store any other partition/data/binaries besides CWM itself? Kernels for my good ol' Galaxy S had a recovery embedded and were about half the size.

Question

Hey everyone. I'll need this answer fast, in 2 days at most.

Can I update/flash the Malaysian ROM without root just by going into recovery? Or Do I need to root and use CWM? I mean, it's an official ROM, it shouldn't need root, right?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moorkai:
Hmm, I'm running stock recovery, but /cache/recovery/last_log is not a mount point on my Geek, but a text file. I don't have any /cache/recovery/log file either, and cp complains about it, but everything works fine anyway, so I guess it is some kind of sloppy work on ZTE's side, but as I've said, it works. Perhaps there's a permission (chmod) problem or ... maybe your /cache partition is full. Try typing df in ADB shell while in recovery to see if it is full.

EDIT: Also, please bear in mind that the external microSD card holds no information crucial for phone's functioning, though it did in the old days of A2SD and swappery.

partition sizes

Hi!

I'm a happy ZTE V975 Geek user and was wondering if there's any way to increase the size of my apps partition (reducing the virtual SD card partition). I use a 32GB SDHC card so my virtual SD partition is unused (just an emergency rom).

BTW I'm using n1cke's rom from 4pda, a B06 based one.

Excuse my ignorance but does someone know if it would be possible to use Asus Zenfone 5 camera app? AFAIK it reduces image resolution in low light conditions producing higher quality pictures than similar software.

Is there any custom rom based in the malaysia one that includes Asus Zenfone improvements? and a bigger apps partition and a smaller virtual SD one?

Best regards and thx in advance

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moorkai:
mmousavi,

Instead of bumping your question as if it weren't answered, read the posts between your last two posts which were posted before this one and you'll find that I've answered your question. In my post I have pointed to the only two rooting procedures available for this device. Well, I'm aware of only these two methods. Depending on your firmware version, pick the one which suits you better. After all, nothing bad should happen even if you flash GlennRunciter's .zip on a B03 Geek, it will just add some extra ZTE applications which seem to originate from a newer firmware revision. If the instructions themselves aren't clear enough, let me know.

Good luck!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoun01:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moorkai:
As far as I can see, the ROM and user data are living on the same chip, more storage could be achieved only by swapping mount points or by repartitioning. Perhaps MFT can do that?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moorkai:
I'm glad I helped :). Regarding custom ROMs for Geek I'm quite inexperienced as I still haven't found out the way to back up the recovery partition on this device, so I can't help you there, sadly.

For WiFi problems, you might want to check the very bottom of this post. I have seen some little improvements (perhaps just placebo effect), but it, nevertheless, should do no harm if you try it yourself. Just follow the instructions closely ... and back things up just in case something goes bad. They're all in foreign languages, but I hope Google Translate will do the trick for the parts you don't understand. Let me know if reception gets any better after applying this fix.

Connect your Geek to a computer with ADB installed (installation procedure for Windows and the Linuxes varies, so pick your poison ;)). Execute adb shell and try to su from there. If you succeed in doing so, try my bash rooter method, if GlennRunciter's update.zip failed for you.

Seems like the V975 doesn't have such a big user base, or at least there's no savvy dev working on a CM port, so the only way we'll see CM/anything non-ZTE on our Geeks is to learn and make a port ourselves.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moorkai:
Well, you first need to flash CWM (see here). Then find a ROM suitable for our x86 Geeks (don't crossflash a Tegra Geek ROM!). Places of interest include this XDA thread, ZTE Geek V975 firmwares thread on 4PDA and the V975 section on HTCMania. Google Translate might aid you while browsing 4PDA and HTCMania. Once you've found the ROM which seems nice enough, download it and transfer to your microSD. Reboot to CWM, if you haven't already done that. Do a Nandroid backup, it'll take about 2 gigs (IIRC) but it's worth it. You never know when things can go bad [emoji14]. Then goes the 3-wipe combo in CWM (wipe data/factory reset, wipe Dalvik cache, wipe cache partition). Lastly, flashing the desired ROM, i.e. the ROM you've downloaded. There is an option labeled "install zip from sdcard" in CWM, select it and find the ROM .zip archive and flash it. Depending on the ROM, you might need to flash GApps too, so read the instructions carefully. I think there's nothing else necessary to do. Oh, yes, reboot after flashing if it was successful ;).
