Two questions: When a contact rings me, in the display only the number is shown. I'd like to see the name if the person is in my contacts. Afterwards I can see the name in the call list.

And second, on the lockscreen there is always Bejing shown with its time. Is it possible for me to change that? But that's not that important. That the names are not shown is more annoying.

So, finally I managed to install gapps in MF3.0.5: after rooting I installed this direct from apk file and started removing many useless chinese apps freeing system space. The problem infact is that for some reasons the system sees only 860 mb for system partition, even though in storage info it says correctly 3.93 Gb. Solid Explorer and Root App Delete indicate 860 Mb total and just a few free. So after freeing some space removing chinese apps, i flashed nano modular gapps from CWM ad it went ok. After installing gapps there where less than 40mb free out of 860.

I made some tests, google services seemed to work fine, even network location was ok without any tweak as in B13 but...

... but i had a really strange bug... i noticed the system were much less responsive than before, so after installing cpu-z and cpu-spy I discovered that the cpu was capped at 1.5 Ghz °_°'' Even no-frills cpu confirmed it and even setting max freq to 2.26 Ghz it remained to max 1.5 -_- Furthermore, it was sensibly heating and draining battery, probably because working at lower freqs it were running nearly alway at 100% of usage :\

I really don't understand why i had such a bug, but in the end i reverted to my backup of B13 taht for now is totally satisfying for me, except the problem with the camera. Even with B13 only 860 mb are seen for system partition but that eom is slightly more little so flashing full jb gapps isn't a problemevent without removing chinese apps. Anyway his thing is really really strange.
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
Android OS have consume most of storage , we only have about 860M left, (you can go to /system via RE explorer to check), I deleted some system apps, then I installed nano-gapps(67M, bigger than pico-gapps) successfully, and 70M left. But I can't log in google play because all gapps are forbidden here, so I don't know if it will work or not:(

You can try 4.4 rool tool, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2762565 ,And I have a root app, 360 super root, it can root your device in 20s, without reboot, but it's in Chinese. If you need, download from http://pan.baidu.com/s/1ntzFGSD , use according to attached pictures

All these gapps should work fine, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 , but before you install, you need to check if you have enough space as I mentioned above.

Did you mean when a person in your contacts list call you , you can not see it's name? If yes, I will feedback to official for you. And does anybody have this problem too?
[Device Reviews and Information] prian007:
Hi 5KKKKK,

yes these names are not shown. After the call the database works and shows me the name correctly. Contacts are correctly saved, with first an last name. Numbers +4969 and the rest without slashes or spaces. Adresses are correct imported as well. There are no duplicates and if I change the international coder there is no change either. Sync is done Pc with myphone explorer. No goggle sync.

Gonna try on Monday the Mf 3.05 again.
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
OK, I have feedback to official, hope they will pay attention to this problem. I recommend to make a clean installion when you try again;)
[Device Reviews and Information] prian007:
Thanks, normally i do the two caches on position 3 and 4, plus the dalvik cache in the advanced section one time, when i install a new os. Data is imported directly via myphoneexplorer, no back ups.

Is there something else I should do?
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
No, these should be right steps.
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
Hi,I got official respond just now.The problem should be caused by number length, and they want to confirm some info. Are you using in German? What's the beginning number of incoming call and the total length?

My fault, I should PM you, and you can reply to me by PM

CM11 WiFi/mobile location problem

Hi 5KKKKK,

maybe you could help with this location over WiFi bug and contact hasz maybe he could tell us how to fix this? The CM11 working very good but all the google programs couldn't use WiFi location and its just so frustrating :crying:
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Yeah, it's the same for me, I really don't know where it come from, but I didn't search thoroughly since it's not really a big problem.

[EDIT]

I just found that "Beijing" is hard coded into the framewrk-res.apk, decompiling it it's found into /res/values/strings.xml:

<string name="local_time">Beijing Time</string>

I changet it to Rome, rcompiled the apj and updated in the phone, at Reboot now it's shows "Rome" in lockscreen but it continues showing actual Beijing time and I don't know what\where to search to change it :D
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
I think it's some how related to location problem, maybe the default location provider is baidu somewhere and that's why its showing Beijing...
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Well, yas, baidu was the location provider, but as I explained before I changed it, so it sholdn't be the issue, time, date and time zone even are set correct so the main clock in lockscreen shows correct infos, the problem here is that little widget in the lockscreen of the stock MF 2.x (I didn't see it anymore in MF3.0.5) that shows Beijing time and date, I'm searching where it's configured but at teh moment I found just the entry for city name.

I lose root after flashing gapps. Weird... Is it possible to put SuperSU instead of R-UI?
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
realy strange, try to flash gapps straight after you flashing rom without rebooting to the rom, its not my rom but I belive you always can reroot it with SuperSU or with the 360 root what 5KKKKK gave us here
[Device Reviews and Information] kaxhinaz:
Hai all.

I just flashed to the official b14 ROM. How exactly can I root this rom because I can't seem to root it either using the root tool by jozco313 and 360 root.

I tried jozco313 root tool on b12 official rom but it is not working.

Any help rooting and installing custom recovery to this phone is greatly appreciated.
[Device Reviews and Information] alexeei:
Use this version, flash gapps immediately without boot to rom, root not disappear, try this.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
I rooted it without a problem with standard root tool fro 4.4 from myzte.cn with SuperSU all work fine,

Guys how you use this R-UI its all in chinese, is there any translation to it?

I have a problem with gapps on MF3.0.5, after install gapps (tried many versions) I get message the process com.gogle.process.gapps has stoped

Hi guys, I have serious problems with my phone hopefully it´s only software issue. I have updated to newest MIUI rom by hasz 4.11.7 and after that my network became crazy. I have only weak signal or nothing, few seconds rises to high signal and then drop to nothing :( It´s very frustrating. Nobody can contact me or I can´t them. Is it just my problem or not?

Thx for info.

Network

I am on the same ROM from Hasz, but I didnt mentioned any of the above problems. Yes, switching between 2G-3G and 4G is little bit slow , but no signal drops or loosing signal.I made clean install on previous MIUI version and updated to 4.11.7.

I don't understand where the problem is and don't know what caused this issue. As usually I cleaned dalvik cache,wiped data erase partition, uploaded new rom and boom:confused:. Now I am almost 3 hours without the signal. When I'll finish at work I'll try upload some previous version and hope problem will gone.

Cant it have something with baseband? I was before on B14. Thats just my thoughts. :p:p

if you want try again, use gapps-kk-20141015-minimal-x-edition-gps030-universaldpi-signed.zip, i use it, and all works well. But on previous rom 3.0.4 sometimes was this error with gapps crash.

If you can share your framewrk-res.apk maybe I can try to give a look at it to investigate the problem if i have time.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
Thanks I really appreciate it! I think the problem not in biudu provider. What happens is when I'm on high accuracy mode the Google location reporting is on but it's not using wifi to locate but what is stranger when I switch it to battery saving mode google location is completely grayed out and once again not using wifi to locate, it's working only with GPS...

Here's is the framework file:

Well, if the problem is not related to network location provider I hardly can find it's source since, as I said already, I'm not really an expert about these things. anyway i'm downloading it, when I'll inspect it I'll let you know if I'll have some hypotesis at least ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Well, ****ty evening here, I wasted hours updating to B14 all to return to my preciuous backup of B13 :mad:

here what happened:

1) I unrooted the phone and checked via OTA but still no update there.

2) so I went for the zip file, download was very slow, i left it going on my server anyway, so now it's shared even here wth a good speed: ZTE S291 resources

3) in order to install succeed i had to flash the original minimal recovery of the phone, it didn't work either with multilingual CWM nor Chinese advanced recovery (fails to check signature). I want to specify this because it wasn't clear for me.

4) after updating i found that the problem with the camera didn't solved, so I imagined it to be a corruption with user data. I made a factory reset, and the problem were solved. Maybe it will solve even in B13, I'll try...

5) I made root and installed recovery with Root-Recovery tool 4.4, with the older 4.3 flashing recovery didn't work even if this is still JB 4.3 :confused:

6) flashed gapps from recovery , all seemed ok

7) restoring all the apps from the backup I made befor restoring factory data I noticed the phone heating a bit too much, more than usual and similar to when i tried MF3.0.5...

i checked and, just as with MF3.0.5 I found again issues with the cpu frequency

! it seemed to be capped to 1,7Ghz this time, but with NoFrills it appeared to go ok setting it to standard 2.26 Ghz. I couldn't test this much anyway because in the end i messed up something restoring Xposed installer, the phone went in bootloop and i couldn't resume it in other way than restore the B13 backup from recovery :eek:

At this point I don't understand at all why i'm getting all these strange cpu behaviours anytime I update from B13 to something else and in truth I'm even a bit tired of wasting my evenings fighting with the phone, all to return to the infamous B13 that for me is like a sweet heaven :laugh:

[MENTION=1113385]chetbiz[/MENTION]

I have watched a bit to your framework-res.apk, didn't find anything about baidu and in the array.xml it's correctly set google provider, but in array.xml i found this entry.

<string-array name="config_locationProviderPackageNames">
<item>[COLOR="Red"]com.google.android.gms[/COLOR]</item>
<item>com.android.location.fused</item>
</string-array>

this isn't the same that resolved for me, now I don't know how the CM11 works but the string that worked for me was

<[COLOR="red"]item>com.google.android.location</item> [/COLOR]

I'm not at all sure if this can help or if it could be dangrous for you phone, so i don't say to you to try to change, it's only a hint, think about it and make your decisions.

For today I'm beaten, good night everyboy :D

I updated recovery from 6.0.4.9 to 6.0.5.0 just for sure, flashed hasz rom 4.10.27 and problem is gone. Still don´t know what caused the issue but I´m glad the phone is now fully operational. Thanks for your answers :good:
[Device Reviews and Information] SilenceR_RND:
The same thing!

I think it's a 4.11.7 problem, no signal at all and unable to change baseband in engeneering menu (it crashes).

Returned to 4.11.1 - all works fine! (Except google services crashes periodically (mostly always :D))

The same thing happened with some previous version of MIUI by Hasz (don't remember which one).
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
I think with MIUI the best version was 4.8.15, after trying many versions it was with much less bugs
[Device Reviews and Information] SilenceR_RND:
The only thing that bother me now with 4.11.1 by hasz - is a gapps crash periodically ::silly:

All other things works fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] MCarek:
Maybe it´s caused by google apps, if I remember right after installing google apps signal was lost or behaved strange but I´m not sure now. If you have an option to flash instead of this rom some other do it :)
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Hi guys, I think I finally understand the strange issue i noticed with cpu frequency after updating to B14 and MF3.0.5. since It made the same even in B13, after i wiped all data in order to solve the crash of the camera, while setting up options and restoring apps... If you remember, every time i noticed the problem I even felt the phone heating up.. well, it should simply be the cpu throttling that cut clock when temps are rising ^^; it happens that when i do an update i leave almost always the phone connected to usb so under charge, and probably doing all the operations, reboot, flash , restore etc... the phone goes a bit warm and the cpu throttles.

So, since the issue isn't related directly to the updates, I upgraded again to B14. All went ok since now, but i noticed that after installing minimal jb gapps, the system partition went completely full, much more like the MF3.0.5 than the B13. After removing almost all chinese useless apps I gained around 130Mb, and so it stays now.

I end up writing always boring WOT, sorry guys but i like to be as much specific as I can hoping that all my experience can be useful for anyone ;)

[EDIT]

I think I found the real culprit of the issue... It was the damn ZTE AliveUpdate, one of the few ZTE apps I did't disabled, after updating itself it started to behave oddly costantly stressing the cpu that was always near 60° and than throttling and draining battery, moreover it was costantly reinstalling in background ZTEMarket, even though i diabled automatic updates.

Now I disabled it and all seems good.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
Back to official B14

Tired of bugs in CM11 and MIUI I`m back to official B14, finally after 2 installs, cleaning and disabling unnecessary programs everything working fine now including locations thanks to mc.god! Now making Nandroid backup of the system :)
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Glad to be helping, so i suppose you could'n get network location working on the CM11, too bad.

Anyway, after those small tweaks needed, I think that stock official 4.3 rom updated to last versions is pretty good, I didn't have any bug so far, all apps working perfect, not even one gapps crash and made over 40k on antutu ^^.

Ok, it's still Jellybean 4.3, but when all works fine, who cares?
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
CM11 overall great but I cant live without location services and I dont care too if its 4.3/4.4 I just want it to work, B14 doing the job :good:

Hello jozco313,

are you happy with this cover ? Because I have the same and have been experiencing a very strange issue : the screen will shut off when I fold the cover on the back of the phone (the same way it would automatically turn off when I flip the cover on the screen. It took me hours to find that it was an issue with the cover and not with the ROMs (I don't remember how many installs I made :D).

So having the screen off when fliping the cover over it is fine and quite handy. But having the same behavious when folding the cover on the back is driving me crazy ! I suppose there is some sensor somewhere that is reacting to something in the cover (piece of metal ?) but this is very unpractical.

Many thanks in advance for your answer !

Would you mind sharing a nandroid of your rom or an actual rom? I cant get root using my laptop and desktop. I dont know what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance.
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
I found this before. I had tried to edit the file that throttles the frequency of cpu through system tunner. I successed on changing it, but the problem is that the cpu won't control it's frequency and that casued the temperature reached around 80℃ or even higher. I'm curious about why the phone didn't shut itself off because of the high temputure.

So it's OK when you see the maxinum frenquency limit goes down.

Just download another contacts program there are much better than the original... like GO Contacts for example
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
if you have trouble rooting the phone, maybe there are issue with usb driver not completely installed for all the modality of the phone, because windows sees it in different ways when it's goes in recovery mode or in bootloader mode, and if the driver aren'ìt correctly installed for al the mode, the scripts that automaticcally do root or flash recovery can't access the phone in that modes.

In thiese last days I had a little issue with recovery mode, after updating to B14 adb was working correctly in normal mode and in bootloader mode, but not in recovery, as windows was showing an exlamation mark on the device qhen it was in recovery. A managed to solve this installing these drivers, and then unplugging and reconneting the phone:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/103583939320326217147/posts/BQ5iYJEaaEH

I don't know if this can solve problems for everyone, but you can give a try.

Obviously we can't share our nandroid backups since they contains all our personal data.

Yes, throttling it's a great functionality of modern cpu'sand I wouldn't mess with it's configuration, if it steps in too fequently it means that some processes are running bad on the phone, loading the cpu constantly resulting in continous high temperatures, just like was for me. I now installed tho usefull modules via Xposed that show cpu freq and temp in the notification bar, so i can check them at a glance.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
Someone knows what's program this? what is this service com.zte.fmode?

Some guys using B14 have this notification too. You can find out where it comes from via some management app. I guess It may come from heartyservice.apk , and aliveupdate,apk make a auto update(attached picture), You can try to delete/disable them , it may work...
