I've created a new ROM for the HoFo/Rogers community in the hope that others will help improve it. All of the other ROM's that I have tried had missing features or they were a bit buggy and power hungry just because they weren't made for the specific Rogers Magic. This ROM is based on the orginal Rogers ROM, so everything works and it is stable. Enjoy!
N.B. - If you get an error during an update please upgrade to the 2005 SPL: http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
Thanks to lifeflayer we have a great server for hosting the ROM's.
You have to wipe if you are coming in from a different ROM, not if you are updating the HoFo ROM.
To use the adb console in version 2.0 +, please update to the latest SDK.
To improve your battery life, go into Settings --> Wireless controls --> Mobile networks --> uncheck 'Enable always-on mobile'
It is recommended that you use Amon_RA's recovery image to update this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
If you are a non-English locale user, you will need to also run this keyboard update after the HoFo update:

HoFo Kernel
File contains wlan.ko, boot.img-kernel and config.
This kernel is a modification of cyanogen's kernel with TigerTael's V3 patch applied to it.
N.B. - To get the config's working with Donut, you have to enable video4linux.

V1 - http://www.4shared.com/file/134706415/ef4895d5/HoFo-V1tar.html (only one that will work with a Hero ROM)
If you have any ideas about optimizing it any further, please let me know.

This ROM is vanilla dry. It's basically for people who want stability and full functionality. And yes, this ROM is rooted.
im lost, do i have to spl and root? im getting my phone tomorrow and am coming from WM6.1, so im lost here. What the hell is vanilla dry, and what are the extra features here?

I don't think you need the new SPL to flash this ROM; I have the new one. Vanilla dry basically means that I didn't mod the core of the system at all (minus the normoclocking), I just added features.
PS-normoclocking, because 528 is the native CPU speed
How did you set the Speed to 528 mhz?

Following you in hofo and xda. great work, i mean really. keep it up.
@hotweiss: wow! thank you so much!
I'm Curious. What is the max frequency set to on the rogers magic when you first get it?

384 MHz is the default speed, which is underclocked.
528 MHz is the native speed of the CPU.
Not sure if its due to the changing of the keyboard, but I noticed that the calibration tool doesn't work . Always crashes. Good ROM, thanks.
Hi hotweiss, great job but version 1.01 is corrupt on libsgl.so, i can't flash it.
Would you mind repack and upload.

What's the effect on battery life?

It shouldn't be much, as the CPU scales all the way from 82 MHz all the way upto the new set maximum of 528 MHz. So it will only shoot up to 528 MHz when needed.

Version 1.0.2
- fixed calibration forced close error
- libgl.so error gone (previous upload must have been bad)
- removed Teeter

hey hotweiss, i really want to use your ROM so I can get rid of all the rogers icons on my magic
but im having a hard time combining bits and pieces of each one's instructions together.
so I've downloaded your update.zip
do i just follow these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4036421&postcount=52
and boot into recovery mode?
how would I do step 8 here, if I dont have the "fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img" from you?
or can I just use the one from skittleguy as well?
so when i'm done, do I just click "reboot system now"??
or, would I have to follow skittleguy's other post on hofo, and do these steps again, after i've applied the update?:
5. power off phone, hold back button and power to boot into fastboot again
6. fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8. fastboot reboot
TIA, hope I can have some success with your rom!

I would use this recovery image here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/252267998/recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img
It's the latest version.
As far as insalling the ROM, just follow these steps:
1) boot into fastboot mode (back and end)
2) fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img
3) run the update process
That's it.
Thanks a lot hotweiss!
it works perfectly now, im glad i got rid of the rogers icons

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GINGERBREAD
1.4.1
NO NEED TO FLASH ACTIVATOR
The fourth partition (Swap partition) is still changed to off by default, you need to manually open

Kernel version is 2.6.37.4-vorkKernel-BFS # 2.
Optional recording software CallRecorder in package from build17.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FROYO
1.3.18 still with GScript
- apk zip install support is still in this one, yet still for testing
- the fourth partition is still close, needs manual intervention to activate, activation mentioned in 1.3.11
- revised the data2ext script to get rid of partition examination bug.
1.3.11 with GScript x1
- apk zip install support is still in this one, yet still for testing
- revised the data2ext script, for the partition to be safer
- the fourth partition (swap) was default close now, if you need to use it, manual activation is required by doing the ff:
delete /data/local/data2extswap.disable file with Root Explorer, restart handset[/COLOR]
DO NOT delete the wrong file, there are some tab file not to be deleted, otherwise your phone will go to reboot loop or the data will be missing. Please take note of this!!!
- 2.3 things started here, live wallpapers support (themes, phone, etc. see 1.3.11 changelog)
1.3.5 with GScipt x1
- APK install support is still applicable and still for testing uo intil this version (xj: i guess users just use restore as always foe less work)
- in depth adjustment of data2ext scripts, optimize the configuration script for performance
- Add GScript applications, with three scripts: 1, checksd.sh, 2, swapon.sh, 3, swapoff.sh
- Start GScript, by menu, select Add script, and then click Load file, Save, (three default scripts can be selected by default, added). SU will ask whether to run, click Allow.
Three scripts Description:
checksd.sh, mainly used to detect the status of SD card.
swapon.sh, used to manually open the swap system support (valid for four partitions).
swapoff.sh, used to manually shut down the swap system support, in order for more power. But will increase the probability of background process killed. (D partition active)
1.2.25 b1
- newest script by atroy adapted to this rom, you should be fine with the last two
- for those exploring, here's the changelog
- apk install support is still in this one
- optimized script to reduce system buffer data storage time, reads in promptly to avoid power failure causing missing or corrupted data
- reduces the system memory use and the swap partition frequency of use (effective for those using 4 partitions)
- restores the official MIUI default SD the card data IO operation mechanism
- Lower core recovery for the directory and inode cache memory
1.2.25
- adapt to new miui release 1.2.25
1.2.19 b1 (BETA)
- atroy just release an updated script so i am releasing this one for beta, i have been using it for 48 hrs since 2/21/2011
- Adjusts the data2ext script to further enhance performance
- Reduces the IO read
- Reduces power consumption
1.2.19 x1
- chinese dev fix the lag issues, let's see if it really is
1.2.18
- Uses latest miui apk updates to see how it fairs with D2EXT X-PART
- Though 1.2.19 is being uploaded, my assumption is Launcher update + framework files. We may be able to get away with apk update
- If not update, let's issue a 1.2.19 full rom
1.2.11
- New development, you can put all your apks in a zip file to install and place it in root of sd card before installing rom
- This feature will allow us to backup apks and flash the rom
Important for the zip file containing apks:
- Filename should be "sd-ext-xpart.zip". Grab the one attached below and store your apks inside
- Valid apk names are: xxx.apk, xxx_xxx.apk, 123.apk (e.g. xda_talk.apk)
- Do not use spaces, shift characters, symbols and other language characters in apk names
- Place the file in the root of your sd card[/COLOR]
- added MIUI Digital Clock + weather (replaces the clock in the main screen)
- added MIUI Analog Clock with small to large widgets (moved to 2nd screen)
- added empty folders for now in the second screen, i might fill it in with the default apps.
- added new boot animation from the spanish (dont be deceive after flashing, it's really a slow animation, lol)
- added MIUI Music (see a2sd screenshot)
1.2.4
- release a 1.2.4 with latest 2.6.35.10 kernel modded by atroy
- added vorkkernel patch download
1.1.28
- initial Release
- adapted codes by atroy
- added activator patch download for those with more than 2 partitions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES:
- Multi partition support + upgrade to ext4 if the installer finds it needs to
- Battery life is great for a data2ext
- KERNEL is MIUI modded by atroy as well to work efficiently with the data2ext
- FAST, SMOOTH, STABLE, never mind my quadrant pics, use the rom and see for yourself
NOTES:
THIS IS AN ADAPTATION OF the DATA2EXT script in the official "MIUI Chinese SITE"
Many thanks to atroy who did and modded the codes, all credits to him for that.
I did my best to convert this to EN and add some flavor to it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I got to say this but this one is a fast data2ext code and stable!, i have - tried most of the codes here too, this one is a killer as well!
- I named it X-PART, the site called it xpartitions
- X-PART = Will work on
2 Partitions: fat32+ext4, fat32=remaining, ext4=1000MB;
3 Partitions: fat32+ext4+ext4, fat32=remaining, ext4=1000MB, ext4=300MB;
4 Partitions: fat32+ext4+ext4+linux-swap, fat32=remaining, ext4=1000MB, ext4=300MB, linux-swap=100-200MB;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARTITIONS I TESTED THIS
2 Partitions: fat32+ext4, fat32=remaining, ext4=512MB;
2 Partitions: fat32+ext3, fat32=remaining, ext3=512MB;
2 Partitions: fat32+ext3, fat32=remaining, ext3=512MB-1000MB;
(was converted to Fat32+EXT4+EXT4 when i flashed the rom)
Recommended to use parted magic or gparted to partition!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you have an EXT3 this Rom install script will try to Update it to EXT4
- I will always stripped the rom of /data/apps so restore your apps with MIUI backup or Titanium
- Other roms i will use as base will be the developer's translation and effort so credits go to them for that
BASE:
- I AM USING a FAT32 + 1GB EXT3 + 100mb SWAP. Use parted magic or Gparted to partition when first time installing this ROM!
INSTALLATION:
- Full Wipe
- Install zip from card
- Then Reboot
- The system will go to first boot image (try to upgrade partition to ext4), then reboot again, then boot animation then android home
- The script will do that so don't get confused
- It is because of the 86extupdate script......that's why it reboots the second time.........read below)
- First boot takes 5-10 mins so wait. As in WAIT!
- Finally let it stabilize for some minutes and you'll see how fast it is.
NOTE:
Those with more than two partitions, like FAT32 + EXT + EXT or SWAP, can now use this one to neglect the thrid partition
Your choice if you want to do it
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KERNEL PATCHED:
vorkkernel patched by them too here:
I have not flash this one for i am using the stock kernel that i put in the rom pulled from their latest xpartition built (1.1.28)

A2SD/A2SD+ and D2W OP
FAQs GINGERBREAD
GENERAL MIUI
MIUI Roms came in one source, that's the HQ in China. Most only deodexed it. With that said, You are talking about a common rom.
Major issues are fix by the MIUI Team in China, every week the work is deodexing (mostly) and translating those APKs to English.
I don't really see why some debates over what rom is better over which.
Others just put flavor into the rom, customize a bit, put some apks here and there, put their APNs, but they are the same when it comes to the major things you'll need.
The effort is translating those apks, recompile, decompile, and many more you don't have to imagine, lol. So that differences lies in there somewhere depending on effort and dedication.
What's here is pushing the boundaries of MIUI A2SD with supplying alternatives, D2EXT X-PART and D2W
This make this ROM a unique source for all and other port of this rom. This comes directly from my friend atroy over @ MIUI.cn
Also you got to experience ALL Stock! No sh*t
TERMINOLOGIES
D2EXT X-PART = it's a data to ext rom which works on multiple partition, it will move the /data folder structure to ext, details in post# 3
D2W = short for data2whatever, it is melethrons code put in one of these rom, read post# 3
BASE FULL ROM = this is the flashable rom, it will have version number in filename depending on release
GLOBAL UPDATE = these files are what updates the base full rom, contains system apk and framework, it will be up depending on the translation fixes
GLOBAL UPGRADER (OTA) = these let's you upgrade from previous version to latest (e.g. 1.4.15 to 1.4.22). After this GLOBAL UPDATE still applies if there are GLOBAL UPDATES released
EN and ZH = short for English and Chinese, meaning my rom as well as all updates comes with these two languages
MULTI LANG = Multi Language, it is implemented in the Global Update as an option, this is not just locale, this update supports more than 10 languages
.MTZ extension files = These are usually themes that are made by users, devs and themers, usually place in /sdcard/miui/themes or any folder. Then it is applied in Theme manager app or via import from sd or using miui file explorer
Can i use all the full rom and flash some other language pack in other site?
A big YES, my rom is stock and it has the same structure as the original Chinese Rom or the Stock Deodexed Rom
Can i use MULTI LANG or EN + ZH in other MIUI ROMS?
YES, all my work are stock, i don't put anything into MIUI and my flashable updates except change everything to English and move the ZH (Chinese) to another translation
I change images to English, bootanimation to English + added a MIUI Weather clock, Fancy Widget Weather clock, LG Optimus Weather or any weather app that will pop up in the future
In fact, when you use another rom, you can flash my EN ZH updates or Multi Lang updates since i only put those APKs that comes with the Stock Rom
Download in market does not start using mobile data
The phone is protected by default to accidental usage of mobile data connection
I set the default to "download when any connection is available", if download is not starting
Go to the Download icons on desktop, tap on it, click menu, Download when any connection is available
How to turn ON/OFF COMPATIBILITY MODE for an app
This often solves the black on black issues on text and background
Menu, Settings, Application, Manage Applications, All, Tap the app, there will be a button to turn ON and OFF compatibility mode
Can i use Morelocale or Morelocale2 without being in Chinese language?
YES, default for these roms are English now, Chinese can still use these roms by switching to their locale in settings
Some icons not appearing after install
Menu, Settings, Application, Manage Application, All, Look for Launcher, Clear Data, Press Home
How to make TWO WAY Call Recording using third party app (clear records)

1) ALTERNATIVE FRAMEWORK
IMPORTANT!!!
These framework will only work for the MIUI Release Version mentioned it is to work with.
I have to say that for those who dont decompile apks and will never know what has changed in the framework.
Because sometimes MIUI China changes the framework, (most of the time). And if you install this in another version = FC or more FC
INSTALLATION:
Flash in recovery like a usual rom
NOTE:
If you wanna go back to the default framework and you dont like the visual effects, just flash the default.

MULTI LANG Themes for FROYO
Even if my MIUI is fully themable, it does not make the "SEND" button sms for all language
The reason is that no one has made the default themes that comes with MIUI available for other languages in bulk.
There maybe some out there but i dont find one yet. Other themes made by the person in that locale or country would have that of course.
Anywhows, this is a MOD of the existing MIUI Themes
You can even use it in other roms made by other devs.
Actually all my works can be use in other ROMS. LOL!
I made these to make the whole MIUI experience a PROFESSIONAL one!
The MIUI screenshot and previews are also modded to suit the language.
INSTALLATION:
1) Just place all the .mtz in \SD Card\MIUI\theme folder
2) Go to SMS, Menu > Settings > Apply Theme
3) The theme should be available in the Downloaded theme(s)
4) Select and Apply

PARTITIONING SD CARD
HOW TO PARTITION SD CARD WITH VMWARE + GPARTED OR PARTED MAGIC
This attempts to partition our sd card without using live cd or usb devices of gparted or parted magic
This method uses vmware + the gparted or partedmagic isos
IT will use:
1) PC (tested on Windows 7)
2) VMware
3) Gparted ISO or PartedMagic ISO

I have some tips for people suffering from MIUI ORD.
Before flashing new ROM and/or kernel:
1. Nand-backup... always! Should I mention this?
2. Backup the next apps with MIUI Backup tool:
Titanium Backup
Quadrant Standard (or paid)
SMS Backup +
Android Terminal Emulator
AdFree Android
3. Backup the next data with MIUI Backup:
Wifi Settings
Desktop Layout
4. Backup all user apps with its data with Titanium Backup. You can also set a schedule at night to backup the newest and updated apps automatically.
5. Backup following sytem items with Titanium Backup:
USER DICT (your dictionary with own added words)
Accounts (Your google account(s))
6. Wipe, Wipe, Wipe (I use AmonRA):
All user data
Dalvik Cache
7. Flash new ROM
After flashing, wait 10-15 minutes, do not touch a thing
Power off, wait a few seconds, power on again
After flashing your new ROM:
1. Restore data with MIUI Backup:
Wifi Settings
Wait with desktop layout untill later!
2. Restore apps with MIUI Backup:
Titanium Backup
AdFree Android
Android Terminal Emulator
Quadrant Standard (or paid)
SMS Backup +
3. Run the following apps:
AdFree Android, click on "Download & Install Hosts"
Just for fun, do a Quadrant Benchmark
SMS Backup +, let it restore your messages
Titanium Backup, restore user apps and system settings (accounts, dictionary)
Wait a while, sync will synchronize your google account info (contacts, gtalk, etc...)
4. Restore desktop layout with MIUI Backup
5. Done!
This is how I do it, all my apps and their settings back, and the desktop layout is the same as before flashing the new ROM.
@XJ: Thanks for your awesome work on MIUI!

Hi xavierjohn22...
Great work with 1.2.11. It's really fast. More so than 1.1.128 which is the last ROM I had on. After flashing to this one though on every reboot I get the message 'System UIDs Inconsistent' - 'UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable'. Below that it has a button labelled 'I'm feeling lucky' which will let you carry on using the ROM but it appears on every reboot.
I tried wiping the data partition but this hasn't resolved it. I've got an 8GB SD card partitioned with Gparted - 1024MB EXT4 + FAT32 remaining. Before flashing the ROM I done the usual wipe data/cache/dalvik with Clockwork Recovery 2.5.1.8
Never seen this message before and all of your other ROMs have installed without problems
Any ideas what might be causing it?

Yeah i think you haave an ext2 now. Try verifyng, i use parted magic and gparted too.
Fat32 first then ext3 of 1gb, then apply.
But i think it is not your hurdle since you know how to partition already.
One of the guy over at miui dev switch to amonra 2.0.1 to aid in the wipe and problem is solve.

Just flashed AmonRA recovery 2.0 with fastboot...performed a full wipe of data/cache/dalvik and flashed the ROM again. Still the same problem after I reboot. I'm also using a different SD card partitioned with FAT32 + 1GB Ext3.
I think I'll go back to 1.1.28 for the time being or try 1.2.4 and see how that goes...
XJ... I'm running 1.2.4 XPART... is it possible for me to flash 1.2.11 XPART with just wiping cache and dalvik... only asking becoz, my Rom is running Faaaaast and perfect at the mo... doing a full wipe, backup and restore is time consuming...

Jeditus,
The rom still has a wipe userdata in the code. So it will wipe your userapps as well.
What was implemented in the latest xpart 1.2.11 x5 version was the ability to install apks in a zip file. Put your apks in a zip and inatall rom. The work is sorting out what apks to put in the zip file. Something miui backup can do too.
Another thing you can do is use miui backup on that 1.2.4, then restore in 1.2.11 xpart. Thats how i did it and am running it now.

Nice, he he. i'm working on a2sd and d2w final for users with ORD, it will be weekend. LOL
Hi xavierjohn22...
Just a quick update. I flashed eMIUI D2EXT X-PART 1.2.4 and I'm getting the same result with the UID message. Went back further to 1.1.28 A2SD and I no longer get the UID message. Very strange. Maybe it's related in some way to D2EXT? I also never got this issue with D2W.
I will try the 1.2.11 A2SD ROM alter and let you know the result.

ZTE V970 / V970M (MT6577) custom ROMs (ICS / JB), a ROM for the Android General
Contributors
bgcngm
Based On: AOSP
Version Information
Status: Stable
Created 2013-11-18
Last Updated 2014-05-03
Tutorials
How to enter into recovery mode:
With ZTE V970 completely turned off, press and hold VOL. UP key and turn on the phone. After the splash logo appears, all keys should be released.
Navigation under recovery mode:
Stock recovery mode: As soon as the splash logo disappears, an image with a triangle and an Android will appear and BACK key must be pressed in order to access menu options. Navigation is made using VOLUME keys (navigate up with VOL. UP and navigate down with VOL. DOWN) and MENU key to apply the action.
Custom recovery mode: As soon as the splash logo disappears, ClockworkMod Recovery menu will appear. Navigation is made using VOLUME keys (navigate up with VOL. UP and navigate down with VOL. DOWN) and POWER key to apply the action.
How to flash custom recovery:
Download ZTE V970 CWM recovery and follow this MT657x flashing tutorial.
Warning: the package includes preloader, but there's no need to flash it. Make sure that you select only recovery to be flashed.
Flashing a new custom ROM via the SD card method (update.zip):
Read this guide to know more about ClockworkMod Recovery and how to flash a custom ROM.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Question: I can't install your custom ROMs. Why? What am I doing wrong?
Answer: First of all you have to flash a custom recovery into your phone and then you are able to install my custom ROMs. Read the tutorials on post #2 to know the procedures.
Question: I wanted to try one of your custom ROMs. Will I loose all my data after installing it?
Answer: Yes, you will loose all your data... unless you create a backup to restore after installing the ROM. There are two recommended ways to create backups of your userdata:
Doing the backup under custom recovery mode: navigate to backup and restore menu.
Using Titanium Backup to create a backup of your favourite applications.
Question: Can I fully revert to factory settings?
Answer: Sure, just download the full stock ROM and use SP Flash Tool to reflash the whole NAND.
Warning: the files are for V970, so if you are flashing a V970M make sure that you deselect preloader or else you'll get a brick.
Question: In phone specifications it's stated that it has 4 GB of eMMC, but only approximately 500 MB are available for internal storage... Can you explain me the reason for that?
Answer: The phone has indeed 4 GB of eMMC. Part of it is used by system and cache partitions, while the rest of the size is divided into internal storage (approximately 500 MB) and an internal sdcard partition (approximately 2 GB). If you find that an internal sdcard partition is useless (and have a big external sdcard), you can extend userdata partition (internal sdcard partition completely disabled). Jump into post #4 to learn how to apply that mod.
Question: Somehow I have got invalid IMEI numbers. How do I restore my phone's IMEI numbers?
Answer: Read this tutorial. Don't forget to say thanks to its author.
Question: Does my phone really have two IMEI numbers?
Answer: Every dual SIM smartphone based on MT65xx SoC has two IMEI numbers. Some just don't display both numbers on dialler when you type code *#06#, but if you go into Settings / About phone / Status / IMEI information you'll see the IMEI set for both slots.
Question: How can I access hidden MediaTek engineering mode?
Answer: From phone's dialler type code *#*#3646633#*#*.
Question: Are your custom ROMs patched to fix Android's master key (bugs 8219321 and 9695860) vulnerabilities?
Answer: No, but the solution to that is pretty simple:
Install Xposed framework (instructions on the support thread)
Install Master key dual fix module (instructions available also on it's support thread)
To check if system is vulnerable you can use one of the following apps:
SRT AppScanner
Bluebox Security Scanner
All credits to rovo89 for the amazing Xposed framework and also to Tungstwenty for the Master key universal fix.
Question: I don't have this phone, but mine is also based on the same MT6577 SoC. Can I still flash your recovery and install your custom ROMs?
Answer: Even though your phone is based on the same SoC, there may be differences in other hardware components. It is not likely that recovery and ROMs will work on your phone so you may risk to brick it.
Question: After installing Android 4.1 based ROMs, I'm not able to access sdcard anymore, even though it is accessible via CWM recovery.
Answer: Due to hardware differences between models, the included kernel is not compatible. The alternative is to flash the latest V970 kernel compiled by @superdragonpt, which can be found here.
ZTE V970 internal memory re-partition
Initial notes:
Make sure that you have a full nandroid backup of your current ROM. If not, boot into recovery mode and make one. This is very important if you want to restore userdata after internal memory is re-partitioned.
Also make sure that you have a backup of your internal sdcard because it will be fully erased and disabled.
Warning: the package includes preloader, but there's no need to flash it. Make sure that your selection is according to the screenshot bellow.
Instructions:
Copy disable_internal_sdcard.zip to external sdcard (read note bellow)
Shutdown the phone
Open SP Flash Tool v3.1222.00 (or higher) and load the scatter file
Flash MBR, EBR1 and RECOVERY as shown on the next image (read flashing tutorial first):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After flashing is complete, boot into recovery mode and format /data
Optionally, if you want to restore previously saved userdata, go to nandroid backup / restore and restore data (advanced restore feature)
Install disable_internal_sdcard.zip file through recovery mode (read note bellow)
Reboot your phone and enjoy your extended userdata partition
Important update: All the new ROM updates which include AROMA installer also include a script to automatically disable internal sdcard if extended userdata partition is detected. Dismiss the part of the instructions that refers to the installation of disable_internal_sdcard.zip file (a must if you have installed a JB based ROM). All the rest of the procedure is still valid and must be done before installing the ROM. That said, if you are going to apply this modification, you must re-install the ROM.
Hi Bruno! How are you...nice to see you here! So i will try on my etotalk phone!
Hello,
I think it is time to change my phone from Lenovo A750 to ZTE V970.
Sent from my Lenovo A750 (Smilevvv 4.0.3_623_V3 mod)
Just a simple but important request for all users: please do not host my files in any other mirror. Just refer to this main thread here.
Bruno, is using ZOPO MT6577 USB Driver for this update OK?! Problem was, on etotalk installed recovery 5.xxx the ROM Installation has aborted!
When i use the MTK Preloader i have do same way like on ZP200 ICS update, so when i use SP Tools from this, i have to put your recovery image into flashsoftware and boot image from your ROM too!? Sorry for this question, but every try of installation aborted....
It should be fine if you have used SP Flash Tool before with any MT6575 phone because then you already have MTK USB VCOM driver installed.
You just need to flash recovery.img using SP Flash Tool (in the middle of my tutorial you will find the instructions on how to flash recovery). Then boot into recovery mode and update the ROM.
OK, let`s try! THX my friend, nice to see, that you will have this phone too!
I sold my HTC Wind last week and my ZP200.... so i will have this, and the ZP900 too in moment as china Model by etotalk.com!

Hi all I bought this phone too, awsome phone and I found this great thread here in XDA... Is it possible to share the etotalk ROM for the V970? Or this custom ROM from Bruno is a better ROM?
Mostly Bruno`s ROMs are much more effective, i used on many phones his ROMs and they are free of chinese things, working faster! So try this one! I will not upload any ROMs by etotalk, because we have agreement about, like i respect Bruno`s statement. Don`t share!
Bruno, where do i get APX drivers or MKT chipset drivers for this phone?

I don't know what you mean with APX driver. The only drivers you may need are MTK USB VCOM drivers (to flash your MTK phone through cable, using SP Flash Tool) or the normal ADB drivers from Google (for the ADB interface). MTK USB VCOM drivers are available on my 4shared folder along with the latest version of SP Flash Tool.

Just download the full stock ROM for V970 (from my 4shared folder) and you will get the correct scatter file. Please be sure not to use preloader or DSP_BL images from other phones as you may brick your device.
i just figured that i have a phone with Tegra chipset, so can't use your ROM

Yes, ZTE Grand X (with Tegra 2 chipset) is very similar to ZTE V970, but not the same phone.

Really? I don't have any CID problem and as far as I know it is not an IMEI issue. It depends on the network operator.
Anyway, check out cybermaus thread to know how to change IMEI numbers.

Hello Guys !
In this thread you will find my custom ROM And Recovery for the Wiko DarkMoon
Please be sure to read (and re-read) this carefully in order to avoid unnecessary questions.
Instructions and Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
For Instructions jump into post #2.
FAQ jump into post #3.
Wiko DarkMoon internal memory re-partition, jump into post #4.
How to Revert to the STOCK Rom / Recovery / Partition Layout, jump into post #4.
Recovery INFO
The salient features of Carliv Touch Recovery include:
Based on CWM 6.0.4.4
Full Touch Support
With features of Cannibal Open Touch
Aroma File Manager Support
Support for both Edify and Amend scripting allows flashing all ROMs
Touch screen button controls
Advanced Backup
Advanced Restore
Delete old backups
Persistent settings
User-defined backup locations
ADB Sideload
Update CTR v2.5 (30/07/2014)
Changelogs:
New Menu Layout
Tar + Gzip Backup Compression : ( "Backup/Restore" -> "Default Backup Format" )
Your Backups will be smaller now, just like on the old native CWM
Removed "wipe all" option from wipe menu ( if you need to wipe system, use "format system" from "mounts/storage")
Rearanged menu order in root menu to restore CWM order
There's now an "nvram backup/restore" menu in "carliv" section
The nvram partition will be backed up in clockworkmod/backup folder as nvram.img. This will help if you lose IMEI and other communication features. It will work only if you have the nvram partition of size 0x500000 (check your scatter) and if you have the nvram defined as /dev/nvram path in recovery.fstab. If the nvram partition is damaged (as in flashing an oversized recovery) this will not help you, and you need SPFlashTools to reflash with format your phone official firmware, and after that flash this recovery, boot in recovery and restore nvram.
some other small changes.

Hi
You guys are all crazy with the MTK leaked sources, but do you even have an clue what those sources are?
You cant just compile an source that's customize for other phone , thinking it will work on yours.
There's a lot of work to be done, and you need an huge amount of luck to have your phone drivers available in that source.
This said, I will appreciate that people avoid off-topic and other phones talk in this thread.
This ROM and recovery will only work on wiko darkmoon and Micromax a200 (clone).
If your using this ROM as a base for another MT6582 phone, please be an gentlemen and give proper credits.

Great work, thanks.
Do you know by any chance if there is any option to add languages to this rom? Wiko doesn't include many languages. I can use locale2 from google play, but that only translates some of the functions.

Do you know by any chance if there is any option to add languages to this rom? Wiko doesn't include many languages. I can use locale2 from google play, but that only translates some of the functions.

The ROM is multi language.
What language where you looking for?

Hi
Yes i know, when i made a MIUI rom for my old ZTE v970, i had an hard time trying to find the proper strings for your language.
Even on stock roms from big brands, its very rare to find support for that language.
Im trying to merge and revise some strings from various sources, maybe in an future version.

Great, that would be awsome.
As for rarity of my language, I find it quite well supported. Google Nexus has it, all Samsungs have it, so does HTC, Sony... I know Prestigio and Gsmart have it. CM also. It's not a big deal, but nevertheless - I wouldn't mind having it
Great ROM btw, very customizable.

Hi
Well good news and bad news
The good:
I managed to Build an UNOFFICIAL Lewa Rom for our device, currently fixing the lastest issues and adding multi-language support.
So since im currently working on this language strings, might as well use that work for this rom also.

The bad:
From what i gather until now, only about 100 slovenian strings are compatible (this is less than 5% of overall translation files), will keep looking
