An official developers said that 4.4 will come out very soon, within one or two months. but MIUI V6 will be more later.so,we should be patient.
[Device Reviews and Information] jozco313:
Hi , look here: http://www.myzte.cn/thread-168051-1-1.html

I found it today it says in the end of july (2014 - i hope :laugh:) there will be finally the 4.4 update (B09) and then there will be also a MIUI v6 version out...

MIUI changes network type by itself?

Hi! Using MIUI 4.8.4 by hasz.

A have noticed that smartphone periodically changes preferred network type.

I prefer to set "TD-SCDMA, GSM/WCDMA and LTE" mode in *#*#4636#*#* menu.

After reboot the phone changes preferred network type to "WCDMA preffered'

If I check in MENU - "preferred network type" - "Prefer 4G networks", the phone changes preferred network type to "TD-SCDMA, GSM and LTE".

After reboot, it is "TD-SCDMA, GSM and LTE" again.

Is it a bug?

I think at the moment hasz-rom is the most functional and stable rom I know. I've tried out all stock roms and they all had more or less bad bugs. From the beginning miui roms have been better. I also like hasz 4.8.4. It was very good. But I'm hoping for improvements in new roms.

Jbart

So a little guide for adding languages:

1. look at this phorum: http://en.miui.com/thread-6222-1-1.html

2. Download jbart: https://github.com/BurgerZ/jBART/archive/master.zip

3. NOTE: ju must have java installed on your pc.

4. Extract the folder

5. In folder jbart-master run jbart2a.jar

6. In the app select ROM FILE (on the left in the window)

7. Set it like me in the screenshot.

8. wait few minutes.

9. When done copy to sd card flash and enjoy
[Device Reviews and Information] PaulTT:
Did you try the official B11(still 4.3) that has been released yesterday? You should try it.. I also like hasz's Miui much more than gtbluesky's but still the officilal rom (rooted and "cleaned" of course) is better in terms of stability/performance/battery life ( 4.3, not 4.4 beta 1 or 2). I can't wait to see the final release for the official KK...

you need to go to language settings and select Italian

no, in language settings i have only two chinese language and english (original languages). I read the jozco istrunctions and select miui v5 italian from list. Maybe i must select miui v4 italian?

are you sure you did compile and than recompile?
[Device Reviews and Information] MCarek:
It should works, set everything you can see on the picture and wait until it done. Then upload on your external sd card and flash:thumbup:
[Device Reviews and Information] carths81:
now i try the second time. Maybe the problem is this: in the settings section of jbart there are 2 options, language and timezone. they affect the rom with new language? I set my timezone (amsterdam) but i cant select italian from language (so i set english en-us).

now jbart works! I changed in the settings section of program the language adding italian locale (i modified the file in \data\settigs\locale.xml adding the italian string). The preparation time was longer (with compile and decompile apk and download of langauge italian repository, in the first attempt i didnt' see these actions). I flashed and started phone and all is italian (the text in english is a very small percentage).

[Device Reviews and Information] ahorntaler:
Hi 5KKKKK,

it's a pitty, OTA doesn't work for 4.8.15 by hasz (it should be a must have). But full package works fine. Battery drain is very good. All other functions work perfect. LTE I couldn't test because of having no LTE-SIM. Perhaps ROM will be in future multilingual, because for a non-pro jbart is a bit complicate. Grand SII is a perfect phone for European market where phablets are more and more the best choice for many users.

Do these step by step: open WIFI, then go to settings--stock settings--more networks--WLAN hotspot, open it and then go into advanced, you will see that hotspot notification is on as default, you need to click off and then click on again.

Then there's no need to do these again when you use WIFI tethering, just click on and off.

-PlayStore Added

-Root privileges added in the Security Center ( if you want root go to Security Center / Permissions and agree Root )

-Adding Backup and Recovery

-Integrated VIPER4 Sound

-Integrated display settings

-Integrated Quick Start

-Integrated timer switch

Rom works great!

My only problem is that the Hebrew language in the Rom is very "partially" I mean that when I choose Hebrew language some apps does change to Hebrew but most of the important apps (like settings for example are still in English), any solution?

Except that everything seems to work great!

Hi, I also used Jbart to translate the original Miui 4.8.22 to Hebrew and it fully translated but I stopped using it cause for some reason after I translated the Rom every time I tried to add contacts it said android.process.acore had stopped working or something like that and it closed my contacts app (If someone have a solution for that problem I'll be thankful).
