Hi

I made the two new Recovery's compatible with the extended userdata partition.

So if your using the stock ICS partition layout ( 500mb internal data + 2gb internal sdcard) your likely have some bugs.

Or

Since the two new Recovery's where packed with the new kk kernel , that may be the issue.

My JB kernel fixed the sdcard issue, due to the changes I made on kernel partition table.

...so if you have extended userdata mod, and still can't mount external sdcard, its an kernel issue .

Regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] longo213:
Nope, I definitely have extended user data mod.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Ginciu75:
Where i found kernel without camera AF problem?

regards
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Ok, so its related with the kernel packed on the new recoverys. ...

will be released on Beta2, im working on the BT driver at the moment, the combo-chip 6620 is hard to work with, and the kernel its all messed up, concerning BT. (Already patched the rest ...wifi/radio/gps...)

A ) Do your search

B ) You cleary don't know what your saying, you'll never get that working

Before asking something, it's always nice to actually read the OP...

... i didn't spent time making the OP for no reason

oh, and your welcome ...
[ZTE Grand X V970] ultrasound1991:
Sorry, is the kernel closed source?
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Of course the Kernel isn't closed Source.

For closed Source, we already have Mediatek and the OEMs ...

That's why i told you to search, and read OP (First Page)

My kernel Source is there (GitHub)

I've had a problem with this smarphone for a while and it was bugging me off. Basically it would randomly reboot over and over again, sometimes before booting, others after a few minutes, up to the point of me taking the battery off to sleep at night (or checking it every 30 minutes to see if it was working not to miss my alarm clock)

After weeks of formatting, rebooting, battery "calibration", I've found the solution on an youtube video, just placing a small piece of paper on the lower part of the battery to hold it against the connectors and bam, problem solved.

If this has already been posted, sorry, if you have similar problems, try it.
[ZTE Grand X V970] longo213:
Well that happens with phones with removable batteries. I use a 1mm double sided tape for this purpose, just a 5mm is enough to keep the battery in place even when the phone falls, but it's still easy to remove the battery when needed.

WIFI stop working for me!

Hello everyone, i am having a prob with the wifi since 2 weeks ago, the problem consist on the following:

The wifi only works for like 2 to 5 mins after a reboot and then it stops recieving any data from wifi, then when i try to reconnect by tapping the wifi boton twice it just stay blinking, it never reconnects and finally make the phone restart by it self. I went to a technical and he told me that it was a software issue.

I have like 4 months using the 1.1 version with no problems other that the caller id, when i start to present this prob i update it to 1.2 and still nothing.

Please Give me some hope!! i wanna stay with this rom, dont wanna even try the stock rom again!!
[ZTE Grand X V970] ultrasound1991:
Hi, i use 1.2 version with no problem.

I suggest to you to wipe data, system, cache, dalvik cache, and reinstall ROM.
[ZTE Grand X V970] tecnomaso:
Still nothing...

Hello and thank u for your help, i just tried and nothingggg, still presenting the same problem. Its just weird i tried turning on the wifi but without connecting it to any network and after a few when i try to connect to one it just never connect and finally makes the phone restart.

P.S:

Im from venezuela and i am selecting the mono sim and the movistar band options from the installer as i should be.

I have only instaled the recovery and the rom from this thread.

update:

ups.. my bad.. i've installed extended partition, and now i get 2.5GB of phone storage...

now i'm really happy with this ROM ..

hi, you could use extended partition, the step already given HERE

but be carefull, all apps and data on phone storage will be gone..

also note that you should not flash the preloader

after reboot you will get 2.5GB of phone storage

My phone doesn't have an external sd card.

And it is the same hardware, MT6577.

How could I flash the rom?
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
The ROM was built for this zte, so it'll only work on the zte.

Plus it haves a new ( needed ) new kernel for KitKat.

You can't boot this ROM by porting without building a new kernel and build needed hardware blobs...

Among other things. ....

That's great man, I have a couple of bugs to tell you:

1) The Wi-Fi doesn't gets on after you turn off the Data (3G), after that, I have to take the battery out because even when I try to turn off the phone, it doesn't do it.

2) Sometimes the System apk just crash and the whole phone gets freeze.

3) When the Data (3G) is on, the GPS doesn't work correctly (Or doesn't work at all)

4) And, of course, the camera pink preview.

I hope you read this so you can have a clue on what to fix in the next maintenance.

Sudden crashes

Hi all,

after some more time using it I'm really happy with the ROM (thanks once again).

However, I've been having a weird problem in which the phone suddenly crashes and the battery level suddenly drops. I still couldn't notice any reasonable pattern (it happens usually while texting) but it generally happen while having 50 - 70% of the battery, the phone shuts down and when I restart it only has ~10% battery. It usually crashes again short after this restarting not to be able to be turned on again. Strangely, when I connect it to the charger and turn it on, it reassumes the initial 60-70% of battery charge.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any hint?

Thanks for the attention,

Keep up the good work ;),

André
[ZTE Grand X V970] longo213:
Do you mean the recovery (Carliv's CWM or TWRP) cannot see the external SD card?
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Thanks a lot, this really helps me.

If your talking about apps not being able to save/read/write from the external SDCard, this is not a bug, that's an security feature implemented by Google on the Android OS KitKat.

However...I already fixed that ;) will be merged on Beta2

I never had that issue , but my battery is pretty dead so... I'm still waiting for an replacement I bought on eBay last week...

Is ART really working?

Have you tried ART on this rom? I flashed the rom and can't wait to try ART. However I don't know if ART is really working on my device(ZTE v970 dual sim). The reasons are that after switching to ART:

1, Aren't there supposed to be a duration for application optimization, which should take a while, usually 5~10 minutes the first time reboot? I installed a dozen applications, if it does, it should be pretty obvious to me but it didn't happened.

2, ART use ahead-of-time compiler, which should take up more space than Dalvik, but after the switch the space that the apps occupied is still the same.

Hope you guys can settle my doubts. And big thanks to superdragonpt.

[ZTE Grand X V970] ponnex:
A little off topic xD Sir [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] , if we use this ZTE v970 KK ROM is it possible that translucent status bar will work on MMX A110 KK on the other thread? If so what are the things needed to replace? is it like normal porting?
[ZTE Grand X V970] andremon:
I think GravityBox isn't compatible with ART, so if you want to use it you need to change to Dalvik

btw, great job superdragonpt :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] x1596357:
I didn't installed GravityBox

Thanks for the reply. I didn't installed GravityBox. I mean every time I try to use ART, I uninstall GravityBox before making the switch because I knew they are not compatible. I had tried changed to ART right after a fresh installation with only a few apps installed, not including GravityBox of course, which are just browse and sort of that, and it still doesn't work. I have made the switch back and forth several times and not a single time that seems successful.

---------- Post added at 02:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 AM ----------

Thanks to superdragonpt. I have been using the rom for two days, everything seems fine besides a few problems and the phone feels alive again.

One of the problems is the ART, I mentioned it before.

The other thing is the sudden battery drop, which usually happened right after a reboot, from 30% to 3%.

And another thing that really bothers me is the unresponsiveness issue also happened right after a reboot(or a startup) , the symptom of which is that the phone can boot up to the lock screen, I can unlock the phone but the sdcard doesn't load, the alarm doesn't startup automatically and if I try to start up any apps, none of which could successfully start up(pressed the icon and nothing happened), not even the system setting. It happened about 3 times for 2 days.

I can't find any pattern of them and it just somehow happened. Besides all that, the rom is still awesome.

I'd flash Beta1 and test them right away, but this is my main phone and I don't want to flash it back and forth ;)

Do you plan on merging kernel goodies from Jellybean project, like governors, OC, UV etc?

Downloading right now, will report back when I'll have time to flash and play around with it for a little.

They will never learn :silly:

Make sure you have one of two recoveries available in this ROM's Downloads tab - old ones are (from what I've understood) - incompatible with KitKat.

Download ROM file one more time and verify both (recovery and rom) files' MD5 sums (on linux in commandline, on windows with for example winmd5/). Correct MD5 sums are provided in file properties in Downloads tab.

If problem will still exist, post WHOLE message/error you get.

Polish version especially for you:

Upewnij się, że masz jedne z dwóch recovery dostępnych w zakładce Downloads tego ROMu - starsze (np te z jellybeana) mogą być niekompatybilne.

Pobierz plik ROMu jeszcze raz, a potem zweryfikuj sumy MD5 obu plików (link do weryfikatora dla windowsa masz powyżej). Prawidłowe sumy są w informacji o pliku w zakładce Downloads.

Jeśli problem się powtórzy, wyślij CAŁĄ wiadomość/błąd, który dostajesz.
