after getting used to it and studying some roms and development stuff

i found that its not that boring afterall

actually it looks like its based on kitkat theme

but could there be Roms for it

or at least roms that work on it but for a similar device

cuz actually i think its based on some other official android phone but i dont know which one

any help would be appreciated, THX

Hello do you experience red zones with the camera ?

Sorta at times yes. I installed camera JB+. Pictures are a bit better, but I mainly got it for the option to record video with flash. Camera360pro now that will always give you crisp pictures, even on my Huawei Y300, I was amazed.

I have tried all these Chinese developed custom roms and they all work nicely on my Hisense U980.

It is a nice phone but too bad not many roms support.

There are some other roms like ColorOS and other versions of MIUI which I have not tried. But I can share the links if you are interested. Contact me if you are interested.

Thanks a lot for this. how do you install the rom? Upgrade via SD, Root? And where?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dualmp:
hi

below are instructions from my memory and links from untested roms. follow at your own risk. cheers

Vaguely, the steps are:

1) Rooting: I used Baidu 1 click root (chinese) . Some guy used Framaroot and works on u980:

hxxp://xdaforums.com/general/help/how-to-root-chinese-hisense-phones-t2889998

2) After rooting, install Mobile Uncle Tools (below)

3) Use Mobile uncle to install the u980 twrp recovery (CHinese version only below)

4) copy roms to root of sd card

5) Boot into recovery and install downloaded roms from SD card

Some links:

U980 MIUI V5_4.4.3升级版.zip ---- not tested

Hi!!

Thanks for all the info but Im having some hard time finding the drivers to detect the phone on my PC.

The thing is that I read that to make a backup, I need first to use "MTK Droid Root & Tools" which would also allow me to root my phone. But that software doesn't detects my phone at all.

I connected my phone as CD drive, then it shows the drivers for it, installed but nothing changes. Device manager detects my phone.

Could you please help me a little on this? I would like to backup the whole ROM and phone before doing any risky changes and also want to backup the IMEI just in case.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgmarouf:
Well

Do like i did

Install FRAMAROOT from here

xdaforums.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276

And try an exploit and it will work

As for the Recovery Mode

I think The link in a previous reply - mobile uncle - will only install a Chineese recovery mode
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsune0:
Would that work for doing backups? I am really more interested in being able to backup my phone than anything else.

Also, my main objetive is to repartition the phone since it comes with 2GB for apps and 6GB as storage. I would like to use that other memory to be able to install more apps since I have SD card and these 6GB are there laughing of not being used at all lol. It's verya nnoying to have so much memory and not being able to use :/

Hisense u988

Hi guys i couldn't resist the u980 pure so i bought one 5 days ago.

I see Hisense have released the u988 infinity H3.

I would have taken that one but that CPU....

I have a question and bear with my ignorance.

This model has an inferior snapdragon 200 1.2GHZ cpu but runs KIT KAT.

Other then that, its the same phone.

Would it be possible to download the stock rom for the U988 and flash it with the U980?

Please assist as this is my intention and i have already rooted via framaroot.

wanting lollipop ROM for my Hisense U980

Hey so I've rooted my Hisense U980 (infinity pure 1) with Framaroot but am now looking to flash and a ROM, I know you suggested Mobile uncle but I'm not comfortable using a tool I cant understand..

hxxp://xdaforums.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276

So I have 2 questions moving forward.

1) given my phone specs below, will it run nicely with lollipop?

hxxp://www.hisense.co.za/mobile/u980

2) where can I find a ROM for my phone (that I can read), even if its not lollipop, I'm just wanting a bit of a newer version of android to play with.

P.S I am wanting to use "[ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool" mentioned earlier in this post to flash my phone.

I wish I can be of more help, but the most I can do is give you some suggestions.

Try mtkdroidtools and sp flashtools for the PC, connect your phone and try to fix things or flash a whole new ROM from there.

Or try a different sd card. Maybe it will work.

But anyway, If you can connect it to PC, then you can fix it.

Good luck.

After installing, you can root your HS-U980 with one click. After that you can delete this app normally, you can also access all the protected data, and if that doesn't help, after rooting you can use Titanium Backup to remove this app (the one you want to delete).

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rukbat:
Different apps store the backup in different formats, so you can't use one app to make a back up and another app to restore it. You have to restore with the same app you used to back up. (Unfortunately, some apps could use the external SD card in 4.3, but can't in 4.4, so you have to copy the backup folder from the external card to the "internal card" to restore. That can get tricky using the phone itself, so connect the phone to a computer and copy the folder from external [Card] to internal [Phone].)

[Moto X Themes and Apps] 1ad_m12:
I extracted the 4.4.3 Google Dialer from the GSM variant of Eclipse v.3.3 Rom to see if it would work on stock as my dialer.

To my surprise I found out that I can replace the stock dialer with this one.

It also creates a shortcut in the app drawer directly to the new dialer and gets rid of the old one with close to no problems. So use the launcher of your choice, delete that Activity making widget App and get on with your life! This is the closest the stock Moto X has gotten to a full Google Dialer port.

This works on XT1058, XT1056, XT1053, XT1049, XT1060 but has not been confirmed on other variants (Yet. Let me know if this works on yours... I like to watch....:eek:) This may work on devices running 4.4.2+

Also, this probably does not activate Google Caller ID...

Prerequisites:

Root (duh)

Write Protection disabled

A root file explorer (I used ES File Explorer.... Just in case you were wondering)

A Moto X :good:

Bugs:

Probably not ART compatible (I don't use it so maybe someone could tell me)

Navigation soft keys may disappear (But I'm using Gravity Box for my keys so who knows...)

Installation:

1. Make a NANDROID!!!

2. Download this .apk file ---> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9utJpuCI7_EekU4OWtLTzg0dHM/edit?usp=sharing

3. Using a root file explorer: Copy over to system/priv-app and overwrite Dialer.apk (the stock one)((everything is going to be ok, just breathe))

4. Set permissions of the newly copied .apk to rw- r-- r--

5. Click on the .apk and install (not sure if this helps as it gives an "app not installed" message)

6. Reboot

7. Call your mother and tell her thank you for putting up with all your shenanigans over the years

If you run into force closes use this tutorial to help you

This is the first time I have EVER posted any mods or apps or anything so please be patient with me if any problems come up. And just like your grades in high school, it isn't my fault if YOU screwed this up by not following instructions.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] hovax615@hotmail.com:
I just installed the apk and it worked. It overwrote my current dialer and replaced it with this. I made a test call but don't know how it'll handle incoming calls. I was having issues with my stock dialer where I'd get force closes when someone called me and I missed it then I clicked their numbers and it would force close. Hopefully this fixed it.

Outgoing/incoming calls work just fine. Slightly changes the in-call ui. Looks like call waiting is working too.

Sent from my rooted/unlocked/uber-customized Moto X chocked full of as much Ultima awesomeness as possible.

Only thing I see changed is in-call dialer. Hence "slightly".

Edit: the DPI has been shrunk a bit too. Here are screenshots of the in call ui. The first two are the old dialer and the latter are the ones from the the new one.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] mastarifla:
I'll be the brave soul that attempts to use this on the GSM developer edition model (XT1053)

Edit:

<Insert obligatory house burned down joke>

Finally got it working!

Steps:

1) Download Dialer.apk

2) Open Titanium Backup and backup Dialer.apk

3) Open Root Explorer and Move Dialer.odex to the sdcard

4) Open Settings, goto Apps, All tab, select Dialer and Clear Cache

4) Open Root Explorer and Move|Copy downloaded Dialer.apk to system\priv-app\Dialer.apk and accept the overwrite (make sure the permissions are set to rw--r--r--, if not, press and hold the Dialer.apk and then select Permissions, set the proper permissions)

5) Reboot your phone and launch the Dialer, dial your own number, there should be no force closes (if there is a force close, you didn't remove the Dialer.odex from system/priv-app or you didn't clear your Dialer cache)

If you screwed up and can't get Dialer working follow these steps to restore your original version:

1) Open Titanium Backup and restore the Dialer.apk (It will be located at Google Dialer 1.1)

2) Open Root Explorer and Move Dialer.apk from system\app to system\priv-app\Dialer.apk and overwrite if it asks

3) Reboot your phone and launch the Dialer, dial your own number, there should be no FC's
