[Firefox OS General] YemSalat:
Hey everyone!

I ported the latest Firefox OS 2.1 build to ZTE Open (1st gen)

This build also includes my updates (modUI) for the homescreen and browser which are listed below.

This build runs a lot smoother than previous updates that I tried.

You should be able to update if you have FFOS v1.1 (or older) installed and have fastboot available, but make sure you back up your device anyway!

This build is also available for ZTE Open C - FFOS for zte open c

My updates to the build

- Made stock icons more consistent, changed the layout a bit.

- Removed background from the search bar on the top of the screen (I think it is ugly).

- Applied the font fix to get Fira Sans back

- Made the address bar appear when you start scrolling to the top - no more scrolling to the very top of the page to access it!

- Added "Duck Duck Go" to the search engines (you can change them in browser settings)

- Added Google suggestions to the browser address bar 'as-you-type'

[UPDATE]

I updated the build, technically its not 2.1 anymore, mozilla moved to 2.2

Here is a list of the changes I made to this build:

- Added a button to lock orientation to the swipe screen

- Changed layout of the swipe screen a bit

- Long tap on shift for capslock

- Added a button to close all applications in the task manager

- Other small updates to styling

(Also added French keyboard)

Mozilla added copy - paste for text fields! also available in this build (probably not stable yet)

This build also includes many updates from mozilla such as the new browser they're building (browser2 on homescreen)

Keyboards in this build

English

Spanish

German

French

Russian (cyrillic)

Download

ZTE-Open-21-modUI.zip on Google Drive (Updated 09.09.2014)

Installation instruction

Make sure to backup your data!

You'll also need adb and fastboot installed.

Download zip and extract to local machine

Open the extracted folder in console and type:

1) adb devices #(should list your device)

2) adb reboot bootloader

3) fastboot erase cache #(if this just reboots your device - try again from step 2)

4) fastboot erase system

5) fastboot erase userdata

6) fastboot flash cache ramdisk.img

7) fastboot flash system system.img

8) fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

9) fastboot flash boot boot.img

10) fastboot reboot

Your phone should reboot at this point (usually takes 1-2minutes) and you can enjoy latest 2.1

GitHub

I also decided to ublish my branch on github: https://github.com/YemSalat/gaia-modui feel free to fork and contribute or port to other phones.

I am currently learning Gaia architecture as I'm making changes, so some of them are a bit 'hacky', but I try to follow the conventions and prefix my stuff (css/functions/etc.) with 'modui'

Let me know what you think!
[Firefox OS General] Saijin_Naib:
Have you gotten around the broken GPS and non-working home light issues I noted in my builds thread?
[Firefox OS General] YemSalat:
The GPS is working, but the home light isn't.

I used the boot image from linr76 (big thanks to him by the way!) and only updated gecko and gaia.
[Firefox OS General] Saijin_Naib:
Ah, okay. Nicely done :)
[Firefox OS General] Saijin_Naib:
Interesting, using your boot.img and my ramdisk.img/system.img/userdata.img files yields my GPS not working, same as always.
[Firefox OS General] YemSalat:
Where do you live? I mean which region? (US/EU,etc)
[Firefox OS General] Saijin_Naib:
US, phone flashed with ZTE_US update to v1.1 from v1.0. Used your boot.img and my ramdisk/userdata/system img, yielded stably working, but no GPS as always.
[Firefox OS General] LinuxHolic:
Support?

Big Thanks!

Question 1: Are you planning to keep this ROM update with patches and some enhancements in the Future?

Question 2: Any fix for Proximity sensor during on-going Call?

Thanks again! :D
[Firefox OS General] YemSalat:
I updated the build.

- I changed the GPS server in the config - will hopefully work for you now if it didn't before.

- Merged mozilla's updates from yesterday.

I'll release the same build for Open C later today as well.

Sorry, my previous comment was probably a bit misleading.

I don't think the boot.img has anything to do with the GPS, its mostly the settings inside system.img.

I just updated the build and added US servers for GPS, also changed the main geolocation provider to Nokias.

Could you please flash my build and test it again? Also, make sure you test outdoors, and also download the app called 'gps callibration' from marketplace and see if it can get your lat/long.

You're welcome!

Yes, I'm planning to keep it updated, every week hopefully (btw, just uploaded a new update, nothing new - mostly bug fixes) Plus I also have a list of things that I want to improve myself, let me know if you have any suggestions as well.

I haven't looked into the proximity sensor, but I'll be checking if it does get fixed in later updates.

[Firefox OS General] PerfectSkull:
when i type in another language than English , its change in the middle of the writing to English :(
[Firefox OS General] YemSalat:
Hm, never happened to me, I regularly type in a foreign language. Are you sure you're not accidentally pressing the key to the left of 'space' ? When you add a foreign keyboard the comma that is usually there gets replaced by the 'change language' key.
[Firefox OS General] trixi3:
Can I use this on the ZTE Open II?
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
it's not the same hardware, so i don't think this would work.

you have a Open 2, how is it?
[Firefox OS General] trixi3:
So I'm going to wait until there's some rom for the open 2? :(

It's not that bad, I bought it a week ago, when the Firefox OS phones arrived to my country, and I was curious about it. I having some trouble with the brightness (I set it at the lowest, then I turn the screen off and when I turn back on it resets the brightness to the highest) but the performance is good.
[Firefox OS General] linr76:
you can always try and build your own ROM, it's not that hard. look up on the Mozilla developer network on how to set up a build environment and the relevant info for the Open 2.

the Open C is much better supported, as you can see here, but in general the ZTE devices seem to have a very short lifetime, as ZTE doesn't give a damn about supporting them. thats als why i stopped working on FFOS, since there is really no reliable device with future updates (except maybe the Flame which is simply way too expensive for what you get)
[Firefox OS General] YemSalat:
A small update - I am merging and testing new releases of the 2.1 branch every other day and it seems to become really nice to use.

However mozilla removed the default browser from the build and only kept the new one, I think I will keep it in my build until the new one becomes more usable (tabs!)

As I said in the other topic I have made a few more updates myself:

- added orientation lock to swipe panel

- changed the layout of swipe panel a bit

- restored default browser

Currently testing:

- long tap on shift for capslock

Will release soon, once its a bit more polished.

I also want to release my branch on Github so other people can contribute as well, I'll do that once I clean it up a bit.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah it was annoying, luckily this has been addressed by mozilla and this issue is fixed in the new build.

As linr76 pointed out it will probably fail due to different hardware on the devices.

I mean you can always try, but I bear no responsibility if you brick it. Plus you'll need to jailbreak it first and I'm not sure if there are any 'official' ways for open 2.
[Firefox OS General] YemSalat:
I doubt we'll ever see another update for the C from ZTE :P

And thanks again for your work, at least we'll now have future releases of gaia 2.x guaranteed to work on the open (hopefully)

I was wondering could you by any chance decibe the process of adapting the boot image? What are the main issues with it?

Hello all,

I don't know whether this has been discussed before or not as I haven't been able to find it. I'm wondering if it's possible to install the Orange Today menu? I'm using the Indra AKU3.2 ROM and I wanted to install only the today screen app from the Orange ROM. If this has been discussed could someone just point it out to me? Thanks.

P.S. Could someone also give me the link to the FTP site? I can never find it. :P Thanks! ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Bulldog:
Orange menu

The orange menu is nice application but it has very limited configuration possibilities.

I have seen already some post regarding this. However no one were able to find a way to further to improve it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] havoc99:
Hey there. Thanks for the cab file. It's really nice. Though it looks better on the smaller sets rather than the Universal. But thanks.

P.S. Sorry for the late reply. Didn't receive a notification of reply. I just stumbled on the thread from my cp. Cheers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] CWKJ:
Screen shots please.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] nuclear:
sorry about this random post but the Orange menu dont work in Crossbow ROM? I find that Orange menu saves a lot of memory! It truly makes Universal more of a phone than a computer. Because i was recently wondering... I wanted a phone and not a computer... and really i could have made my laptop a phone too by buying those quad band pcmcia cards. But I want the Universal to have more "phone" features than other "computer" features.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] havoc99:
To start off, the Universal is a makeshift computer. Not a phone. If you're looking for more phone then you should get the smaller PDAs or a P990 or something. The fact is that the Universal will never be more phone than computer. It's just the way it's been built and well the reason it's been built. Either way I've tried the Orange menu on my Universal. I have the AKU 3.5 ROM by Helmi_c and it's working fine ... though I'm not using it much now.. Have found a new arangement for my Universal: Wisbar Advance 2, SPB Pocket Plus and SPB Diary.

Btw, Sorry for the delay in putting up the screenshots... Also sorry for them being small but there's a restriction on the size of the file and so I had to keep them small. The last one is with the Orange theme that comes with the menu.

[HTC Desire S] Mushtaq.hussain:
How to S-on and locked bootloader of htc desire s?

I Unlock the bootloader to install custom rom but i want to want lock again the bootloader not relocked fully locked
[HTC Desire S] heavy_metal_man:
That depends on how you gained s-off. If you did it via revolutionary then there is a fast boot command that allows you to flash a stock hboot. This will make you s-on again and your hboot should become locked but such moves can be dangerous if you are not fully on stock. Some htc devices like the htc sensation will brick if you return to s-on and are not fully stock, as the hboot detects that custom software is being used and it refuses to boot. Which leaves you in quite a pinch as you would need s-off to fix it :/

If you used the xtc clip to gain s-off then the same dangers apply but you need a different fastboot command. In order to return to locked and not relocked you would need to edit your misc partition with a hex editor to show it has never been unlocked.

Lastly if you are s-off by xtc clip, but using the revolutionary hboot for the bonus fastboot commands you would need to run then revolutionary hboot downgrade command, then do the hex editing and finally run the xtc clip s-on command.

[Xolo Q3000] sushbabblu:
Hi Avi

That meteos App will work only if the phone is rooted right ??? But in Kitkat i tried to root using the VRoot latest one provided by you but unfortunately it failed so i did the following steps to get that Application storage Increased.

1.)Re-flashed the Jelly bean Stock Rom using SP Flash tools

2.)Rooted using Frama Root

3.)Installed the Meteos App and increased the Application storage to 5GB(Need to Format after applying that operation to increase Application storage using Phone recovery option to get desired storage)

4.)Unrooted the Phone by checking the Full permanent unroot in SU App

5.)Updated with Stock Kitkat Rom(Update.zip provided in XOLO website) which is working perfectly with Increased Application Storage.

The whole above process took around 10 mins hardly i hope this will be helpful for other users who wanted their XOLO to be in Stock mode with increased application storage.

Please post your opinion/views and press Thanks button if you find this as Useful.
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
Yes ur correct:good:

but the biggest issue with kitkat phones

they cant revert back to jellybean that easily:(

And if they using kitkat there internal memory is already 4gb

how much more u want and why i don't know.

as this is just the data memory and not the actual system memory to be precise.

I personally never had issue with rooting kitkat but other r having issues

so if ur rooted then u can increase the internal memory.

if not to increase internal memory u need to use ebr files and flash them with spflash tools.
[Xolo Q3000] chaobuddy:
Thanks for all the help

Firstly thanks for all the help.

This is how i managed to increase the internal memory

( My phone did not format and i did not lose any files or even contacts )

Use the files from the link here ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2742702&page=2 )

1. I opened the flash tool.

2. loaded the scatter file provided.

3. Unchecked everything except the 2 ebr files.

4. Loaded the 2 EBR files provided in the folder XOLO_Q3000_S003_15102013.

5. Clicked download

6. Connected the phone without the battery.

7. It was done in matter of seconds.

(I did not have to root my phone or do any other separate process)

It is Important to have proper drivers which are also provided in the above thread.

After rebooting phone said that format sd card or something, i clicked yes.After another reboot when i checked, nothing was actually erased.

So i am pretty satisfied now that my phones internal memory is not always full.

Thanks again to all those who took interest and helped.

Hi all!

The biggest flaw of the desire 816 is the low level of storage.

How can HTC make a game capable device on what you can't install more than 1 HD game?

Though you can use external sd, you can't install game data on it.

Should HTC update their software or should developers update their games?

It's a shame we can't install our favorites games on such a good device.

Tweaks like Link2SD don't work. You can say "use foldermount instead" but do you think it's fair to have to root and do some complicated manipulations before using four phone? Even the iphone 5c 8GB can support a couple of huge games.

We won't upgrade to HTC one (m8) or galaxy s5.

HTC won't come through with such stupid decisions.
