LG screen

Who has LG screen I don't recommend the MF 3.1.3, installed it and right away had touch problems that I didn't have on 3.1.2 version.
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
Sorry to hear that, I'm afraid they update screen driver so I'm not going to update. mine is LG

but I haven't heard anybody have this problem except you...what's your screen driver number before you flash 3.1.3 and now?
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
I don't know whats my screen driver number, where I can see that? Anyway - in 3.1.2 I didn't have any touch problems and after installing 3.1.3 right a way my screen shakes when I try to type.. back to 3.1.2 and touch works fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
Go to /proc/touch screen, open the file as txt, you'll see the firmware version.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
now on 3.1.2. I have version 3260, dont know what version on 3.1.3
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
I haven't ever installed B13 or 14, so mine is 3252

Whatever, it's good that you have no problem now, l will stay on 3.1.2 and waiting for 5.0 stable version, it should come before lunar new year
[Device Reviews and Information] alcantara1977:
I'm in 3.1.2, mine is 3251, yassie screen, but i don't have problems, or I don't have seen at the moment.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Just upgraded to 3.1.3, no touch issues for my Tianma screen, firmware version is 3260 just as for chetbiz, since when a driver is updated it doesn't revert back restoring a previous rom, you are lucky that it solved the problem anyway.

I made a fresh install wiping data\dalvik and formatting /system, then i just restore user app with titanium, all perfect but one thing I can't explain: with MF 3.1.2, since some days ago, I can't say precisely when it started, I couldn't get Facebook Messenger autostarting at boot. In the past weeks i tried some apps for managing autostarts so I was sure i messed up somthing, but even now after this new and clean install the app doesn't autorun, no matter what i try :confused: Fortunately it's not a big issue anyway, since after I start it manually the first time, then it remains in background as it's intended to be.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
just updated with alexeii version. In my opinion less optimized than before. More chinese stuff still included in the rom e no stock mail application that was included in previous release.
[Device Reviews and Information] alcantara1977:
Back to 3.1.2 from 3.1.3, I have touchscreen problems, black screen and unresponsive capacitive buttons.

And lost "settings" shortcut button from status bar.
[Device Reviews and Information] JohnXrs:
Can you tell me the LCD brand and version you have?I am on B15 and i have synaptics version 3260.I want to install 3.1.3 but i dont need screen problems.Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] alcantara1977:
yassi 3251
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
no similar issue on my tianma 3260
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Strange, i didn't notice more residual chinese app than the previous alexeei releases. Email client isn't a problem for me since I always used a third party app and deleted zte stock client by myself.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
I was referring to stuff like AliveShare or Location of number (this one recognized by some antivirus like potential adaware) that, as long as I can remember, have been removed from previous release.

For the email client I use the stock android disposable from play store for some countries.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Umh, you're right, those two app weren't in previous rom, I just didn't think about them at all since i removed them as soon as i booted up the first time the phone, just as I always do with other few sistem app I don't need (ZTE calendar + widget, zte launcher widget, ztepus), it's the great benefit of having a rooted device :good: For mail I'm glad with Blue Mail.

我顶你个肺隔膜 you say we have

MIUI and CM12.

CM12 does not completely Works

unless you have a new version than

CM12, experimental version, by fuqihong

if you have a Cm12 that Works

so please come with a download link

thank you
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
It could be usefull for those who adopt last alexeii rom a list of apps that can be safely removed.

With stock b15 i found that freezing some of them (in order to do that i suggest the use of "App Quarantine" from the store, that allows temporary freezing with opportunity to go back) I had the "no connection" issue with play store.

p.s. : somehow I can't quote previous posts from the forum. If I click on " nothing appens.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Alexeei roms are already pretty clean, I don't think there are much more things to disable other than those we said before.

If you use alternative apps for calendar, dialer, contacts, file manager or sms you can safely disable the natives one, but I would'n go messing with other system apps.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
Guys, how can I revert to 3.1.2 screen driver? The 3260 that came in mf 3.1.3 causing touch problems to my lg screen...
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
So you didn't solve as you said previously, pretty bad :\ I really don't know if and how you can revert to previous driver version once it updates to a newer once, if you remeber there were the same issue with the B13, and ZTE had to release a pre-release of B14 to fix that.

[Device Reviews and Information] alexeei:
Also have original leather case and also not working :( But in Android 5.0 v4 it's worked... Other things still don't know, still restore apps and will test tomorow.

May be we can change some files from Android v4 , for leather case working?..
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
Mine have no restart problem, just once it goes black screen when I first open greenify, and it runs slow down after install LBE
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
I'm testing now the CyanogenMod 11 by daobange update 13/02/2015 and must say its much better then CM12, no restarts, no freezes, very smooth and stable for now, I revert it to dalvik. wifi location working fine. To bad its not working with original leather case but its a minor problem. Whats interesting it has a kernel by HASZ and I remember that his CM11 rom was the best but the wifi location didn't worked and now its fixed in this ROM :)
[Device Reviews and Information] alexeei:
Test CM12 today, and have no one freeze or reboot, works stable. Set on the menu button turn off screen, it help not use often power button, when need lock screen. Will wait for leather case fix :) Only one bug i found-after restart all apps, that was installed on sd card, stop working-simply crashed and that all, after reinstall work normal. And i like, that CM12 based on the latest Android 5.0.2, when i buy phone at middle of 2014, i don't hope, that it will have latest firmware, as prime brand phones :good:
[Device Reviews and Information] big dane fyn:
alexeei can you make a version of 12 cm with Gapps and so you can use JoinMe

ask because it restarts without it works

and dinne versions of mf 3.1 ... is the best

FIUI 2.10.0 by daobange: http://yunpan.cn/cJsqPaWqmTwur Code: 25e1

Original link: http://www.myzte.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=217973&mobile=1

I'm afraid the most serious problem of 3.1.3 is it sometimes lost signal, some users have this problem, and I do too after installing its baseband
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
What baseband do you have?
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
When I'm using 3.1.2, I flash 3.1.3 baseband(0069) and have that problem. Though the baseband number is same on 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3, they are different actually from their MD5.

Now I'm using cm12, baseband is 0069, have no that problem
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
I'm too with 069, didn't notice signal drops..
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
No signal drops neither status bar issues with my 3.1.3, I can say i didn't have a single problem so far, even battery life is better compared to previous 3.x since I notice far less wakelocks.

I'm pretty happy with this rom at the moment.
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
No losing signals at all with mf 3.1.3. I'm using WCDMA with 069 baseband.

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.

Strange, then it should be my operator's problem, or 3.1.3 is not suit well for it. China mobile...:banghead:
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
Tested for some hours cm12, very fast but still not stable. A blank screen issue forced me to remove battery in order to reboot system. There is also an issue with stock mail app that hangs up and is unusable.

[Device Reviews and Information] prian007:
I googled my phone company for the settings and found them in a online-mag.

The CM 12 works fine.. The only thing IU have to get used to is the missing mobile data button in the drop down menu ( you have to click twice to enter the dialog) and that my phone can't connect to the wlan at home. But I think it's the router, that is falling apart, since it works flawless in office.

Antutu was only 37 something, but that's not so important.

By the way, the first rom where all the names are shown when a phone call comes in, until now. B15 some names were shown most not. Even after 2 seconds. Anyway gonna stick to the CM12.

I can't download anything from younpan. Transfer rate is incredibly slow but,mostly, connection falls always for unknown server error and dowload aborts or I get corrupted files.

Using this rom for a day now and I must say its excellent! :) no bugs (only thing is the original case not working)

One more note - DON'T install xposed framework in this ROM, its causing to run android upgrade each start and if you try to uninstall xposed your device will not start at all.

It's very strange rom, with a lot of china stuff like baidu, 360 things, etc and with this string in build.prop: persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib=libdvm.so , so as i understand, it uses dalvik, not art, it's very strange for 5 android and i don't understand why he called it'that it's 'updated ART'... And about root-man, who make this rom simply delete superuser.apk but (i don't know why) simply extract archive with superuser for all platforms (arm, arm6, x86,x64) in the root of archive with rom-so it's not worked. I'm will still use original CM12 version, not try install this, may be somebody try and give feedback :confused: And one more-this version NOT made by fuqihong-author is one of the users of myzte.cn and i'm not sure that he make roms before this version, because it's strange.

for alexeii, sure, I know issue was due to original version of CM and not to your job, I want to remark how promising for our device's development your release of CM12 including root and gapps. Tanks for your work on it.

In my opinion the cell u linked before could give just a little improvment to the performances of your original battery. It could be good if u need a replacement or second cell, elsewere it could be better to spare the money.
