that change the magnetometer graphes, in root shell :

but that make me mad, sometimes that seems to change alone... graphes are similar to my Note 2 on boot, but change itself after a minute

Zopo ZP 998+ is great, i have sd card 32gb, everything work, stock rom (is great!, build in superuser etc...)

I need to use bigger files on SD card, more than 4GB (i like to see full hd movies in good quality)... How to use other filesystem than classic fat with this phone? how to reformat sd card etc..

Btw anyone experiencing battery problems? For about a week it almost never loads to 100%. When it drain to 15% it drain to 0% immediately. Today it loaded to 67% and stopped. However, after 5 hrs of using it's still 66%. I've tried battery stats calibration, changed ROM from HKPhone to Marsapa's and... nothing.

GPS working solution

Hello guys, i fixed my GPS Signal problem with this homework. I tried to translate the most important thrases an marked it in fat black.

Let the pictures speak!! it helps more than 1000 words :)

So ich hab es aufgemacht, ohne die Garantie Siegel zu beschädigen. Also nicht komplett aufgemacht, sondern nur den Bereich aufgebogen, so daß man die 3 Kontakte im inneren sieht und über den Schlitz (ausgang GPS und WIFI) etwas reinschieben kann.

Verwendet hab ich den Kupferstripe vom HTC HD2 - lag noch rum. // used an old antenna from HTC HD2

- die Kontaktfläche des Stripes um die Hälfte gekürzt, um auch sicher zu gehen, daß nur der mittlere Pin im Telefon kontaktet wird.

Was mir dabei aufgefallen ist:

- wenn die Antenne lose dran ist, dann ist ein super GPS Signal vorhanden// if antenna is not fixes on cover --> better signal

- sobald aber die Antenne an das Gehäuse gelegt wird, fällt das Signal um die Hälfte ab!!! // if the antenna ist clued on cover --> signal falls down 50%

--> daher hab ich die Antenne nach außen gelegt!!! // --> so i have fixed the antenna out of the phone

Sogar im Haus kommt noch ein Fix mit 4 bis 5 Sateliten!!! // in building an fix with 4 to 5 Satelites

Ab nun lass ich die Bilder sprechen.// lets the pictures speak

1. Bild mit abstehender Antenne // GPS signal without backcover and antenna is free, no contact to the cover

2. Bild mit Cover und gummi Cover darum, also Normalzustand vom Handy //Phone in normal condition with antenna out of phone

3. Bild GPS im Haus // GPS in an building 2 meters away from window

Yesterday i have done an testdrive with navigation. NO jumps away from the street, very good. But i also checked with an Alcatel Idol X+ phone, the accuracy in feet is 11feet ZP998 to 10feet Idol X+.

Recovery TWRP 2.7.0.0 for ZOPO ZP998 by SevenMaxs

I put TWRP 2.7 for this phone site needrom.com/mobile/recovery-twrp-2-7-0-0-for-zopo-zp998/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coukou:
TNX SevenMaxs ;)

Wowever,what do you mean about Unzipp Recovery TWRP 2.7.0.0 in to your Internal or External SDCard? recovery.img of course and META-INF inluded?

Regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dnlilas:
[MENTION=1102057]coukou[/MENTION]

Unzip: you unzip only the recovery.img file. This file is needed if you want to flash with flash tools, or better while the phone is running by using Mobileuncle tools.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coukou:
In fact, I used Mobileuncle tools to install TWRP 2.6.3.0. That TWRP included a scatter. So, I copied the recovery.img + MT6592_Android_scatter.txt into the sdcard root and run Mobileuncle tools to install it.

If I decide to install TWRP 2.7.0.0 , I may delete the old recovery.img and its scatter before copying this new recovery.img + META-INF to sdcard root and upgrade with Mobileuncle?

Reagrds
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dnlilas:
[MENTION=1102057]coukou[/MENTION]

There is no need for scatter file nor META-INF directory if you use Mobileuncle tools.

You can rename the TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery.img file into for example recovery_twrp_2630.img,

and the TWPR 2.7.0.0 (strongly recommended) file to recovery_twrp_2700.img, both files are placed at the root

of your SD card.

After running Mobile uncle tools, in Recovery update item you will see both files. So you

just select the 2.7.0.0 img file version and flash it, then boot to recovery.

By renaming the img file, you can rollback to previous version (or try another version CWM, CWM Touch...)

by just using MobileUncle tools (rooted phone needed of course) and select the wanted version.

root depends on boot.img (kernel) and system.img

Yes, so when you go to create a modified boot image using mtk droid, you need a valid recovery or it fails. Using the latest twrp version works and a boot image is created. However using the previous version that was not compiled from scratch and just hacked to work on the T200, does not work. Try it on mtk droid 2.5.3

still, this is a bit offtopic
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mawe79:
This is not true! You actually DON'T need ANY recovery.img to patch the boot.img in Droid Tools!

The Option in Droid Tools for the recovery is only for porting another custom recovery. It has nothing to do with root!

So if you don't want to use another recovery, just patch the boot!

Just try it and you'll see!

Listenable yes, but way awful and lifeless compared to other phones out there. The 10khz cut and the way-amplified mids really put the audio on this phone to POS-levels.

So having a new OS on this phone gives me a bit of hope - hoping that Zopo may re-write its drivers ground-up to be compatible to the new OS and address its Audio quality. But knowing Zopo and its product lifecycles, this may seem to be far-fetched to say the least.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ghost45:

I don't think I misunderstood you :) but fact is that tha DAC is a complete crap, and no equalizer can halp it. It is AGAIN the cheap, unsatisfactory hardware, just as the GPS. No software will fix it.

I began to do some measurments of the sound quality in the earphones, but when I've got some horrible results, I've gone down to the next phone shop there I live and bought myself a Note 3, giving up the Zopo project.

Comparing the prestanda:

Note 3:

Antutu > 35 000

GPS: lock in 2 seconds, 23 satellites in use INDOOR!

Sound in earphones: good quality

Weight: 167 g with battery

Battery life: at 30% after 32 hours

Display: 5,7" AMOLED

S-pen: YES

OS: Kitkat 4.4.2

Zopo 998:

Antutu: 26 000

GPS does not lock indoor, works only with external antenna director and only outdoor

Sound in earphones: a catastrophy!

Weight: 171 g with battery

Battery life: at 30% by 19 hours

Display 5,5" LCD

S-Pen: NO

OS: Jellybean 4.3.x

So I'm sorry, the Zopo adventure is over...:(
