[ROM] B92M No Cholesterol Jelly Bean 4.1.2 with 2.5GB internal

[ROM] B92M No Cholesterol Jelly Bean 4.1.2 with 2.5GB internal - Miscellaneous Android Development

-----------------------------------------------------------
1. INTRODUCTION
-----------------------------------------------------------
I got myself a Star B92M China-brand phone. The phone features are awesome,
with Android 4.0.4 ICS ROM; HD display; 1GB RAM; and very affordable price
-- I couldn't ask for more.
However the stock ROM has a few caveats:
- It sends out SMS to the phone manufacturer each time I reboot the phone.
- There are a lot of junks inside. I don't need those China apps!
- The internal storage is pretty small. I got my storage full in no time.
- I want more recent Android ROM.
Of course there are solutions to this. I found them, I tried them out. I give
them credits (see below in credit section). More than that, hopefully I can
get my phone to do better. I'll just customize this.
-----------------------------------------------------------
2. FEATURES
-----------------------------------------------------------
- Jelly Bean 4.1.2
- 2.5GB internal storage partition
- Back to basic - trimmed down apps
- Will not SMS back to manufacturer
- Use external SD as primary phone storage, instead of the remaining 85MB.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Hi,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS!
You saved my a?? today - I killed my b92m and was not able to get it back to work again. Already the recovery mode failed .... and then I found this. All I can say is: Very cool work.
I was able to install it without any real issue on my phone (just one issue - see below).
Now about the issue:

I also have the 1GB RAM edition (at least my 4.0.4 Image showed up 1 GB RAM in every tool).
Now - after having flashed your package - I see only 512 MB of RAM.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks again!

Just checked mine using Antutu Benchmark.
Under Info -- System Info.
Check under Memory size (available/total). What do you see there?
I got 456.5 / 970.7 (which means roughly I got 1GB RAM total). Let me know your result.

Flash preloader from 2.5GB folder. You shall be fine.
Anyway, for the OP, how about the camera? Is it 8MP or 12MP? If it's 8MP, can you make a flashable zip for those who want 12MP? And any luck with GPS issue? Since the first day I got this phone I never have GPS fix. Oh, I almost forget, is this ROM deodexed?
Thanks in advance, dev.

Help ! )
I am new to all this flashing thing - thats why I was so happy when I found your work here - the "all in one package".
When you say "flash preloader ...", do you mean "take preloader.img from a 2.5gb-data-perm-root.zip file" and just flash that using the flash tool? Or do you mean preloader_vanzo77_twn_jb.bin from your zip file?
On the camera:
I can select only up to 8 MPIX when I go to camera settings ... is this what you need?
How do I create the "flashable zip"?
On the GPS:
Need to test it.
And WTF means "deodexed"?

Yes, the first one, from 2.5GB folder. If the issue persists, copy preloader from 2.5GB to JB folder, then delete the original one (the original preloader from JB something-vanzo-blablabla). Reflash using SP Tool and make sure the preloader is from 2.5GB folder. Reboot. I posted about the issue in another thread, perhaps you can relate to this too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36285435&postcount=503
P.S. Wipe data if necessary.
P.S.S This is very advanced. If you don't know what you're doing, stop where you are! You might end up bricking your device.
And yeah, the rest of questions I meant for the OP. You can care less.

OK, cool. Done.
I flashed the preloader and now I am back to 1 GB RAM (max 970 / free 548).
On the GPS topic:
I used the gpstest app and did a clear AGPS / request AGPS step. Afterwards, it took about 2-3 minutes to get a fix.
And while driving home, I constantly had 6+ satelites in view and an accuracy of about 10-15 meters.
In short: GPS is working as before (i.e. before=my old 4.0.4 ROM)
Thanks again.

The Spanish forum has a new ROM as of today, but they continue to use that god-awful multiupload.nl to place the files, so my system absolutely refuses to let me download anything from it...

Guys,
What is the build number of this custom rom based on ?
I just got a B92M with 1GB and preinstalled with JB 4.1.2 . Build number is B92 20121222- 160954
Any advise on how to root this Jelly Bean ?

Checked the GPS fix.
I tried out with two units of B92M, one with GPS fix and another without the fix. Result is somewhat non-satisfactory. The fix does not seem to help much in alleviating the GPS fix issue.
I tried out "GPS Test" and cleared AGPS & redownloaded AGPS data. This seems to help better as I could get the GPS info faster this way.
Haven't tried out physical antenna mod, tho.
I will keep you guys posted on this.

Hi there, perhaps I am blind somehow ... how can I disable Vibration on standard system notification in this ROM? I can not find the setting

Steelburn,
Can you advise what build version is this ?
My phone comes with Build 20121222.
Would like to just root and repartition to 2.5GB and external on SD. Can you advise how ?
Best regards,
Lim

[ROM] (Flytouch 2, SuperPad, WWE10) 2.2 v2.1 #3925

Thanks to kiodo1981 for bringing this to us so quickly

Click to collapse
THIS ROM MAKES THIS PAD ROCK NOW
For now its back to using IUW to do either one of the versions..
you will also need to have done a U-BOOT-NAND upgrade at some stage.. and need to be showing at least uboot - 0.6.1.5 (587) at bootup at the right hand bottom of our screen.. if you dont have this then you will need to do it..
1: Here's a new link by Smarkies that has a great pictural step by step flash guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074251
2: This is the new Flashable via SDcard 2.2 v2.1 thanks to vihtor

instructions.. thanks to Jiggity Janx
CONFIRMED #3925 2.2 v2.1 bootable sd install. One step process. Great job!
(for those wondering I have 6.1.5 (559) uboot so any at that or later should be allright)
EDIT: IF you have at least 6.1.5 (559[or higher]) showing on the Infotmic screen when booting you should be able to 1) download the .img file at the link above, 2) burn the .img file to an sd card using win32diskimager (or winhex), and 3) insert the sd card into slot between 2 usb ports while booting to update to 2.2 v2.1.
PS Not only does camera still work clearly for me on 559, camcorder records now.

3: Ramdisk work around
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13974529&postcount=58
read posts from about 55-58 on Smarkies, why it is a good idea to re-flash the ramdisk
other versions if you have no success with the one above....
here's a link to the files you need.. iuw1.1-english
http://www.fileserve.com/file/taD2UBA
plus instructions..
http://www.fileserve.com/file/6Hn9ytR
Use IUW to make a bootable sdcard.. this is first version.. still stable, it is posted for those that dont want to go straight in to flashing a unwrapped image file.. if you use the instructions you should be able to just dump/flash this to your usual bootable sdcard.. stick it in the top slot and it will upgrade to this version.. no usb needed.. (note.. you will still have needed to have upgraded your "u-boot" at some stage... read further down for this..
ROM 2.2 V1_8
http://www.b2cus.com/software/WWE10B_Android_2_2_V1_8_U0M_GT2005.rar
2ND VERSION -
Warning - be slow and sure about what you do here.. you can brick your pad if you burn the wrong files... you have been warned..read the other threads before you do anything.. and have the opened IUW instructions with the pictures if you are unsure...
1st use one of these...

Working and rooted.
I installed #3656 first and skipped the UO file when installing this and everything worked great. I installed the newest UO 0.6.1.5 () too and root seems to work after that too.
What I really like with this release is that swedish language is included (was missing in all updates after 1623) and ofcourse that it's Froyo!
To get Titanium Backup to work you will have to copy your old TitaniumBackup folder from the SD card to the new created when you installed TitaniumBackup, after that TitaniumBackup will find all your backuped apps.
It seems like both Flytouch2 and Flytouch3 are at version #3925, maybe the are compiling new versions for both pads at the same time now, so we can count on a new version when Flytouch3 gets one?

NOTE: do not use the update software on the pad even through it says there is an update available.. it will take you back to firmware: 2.1-update1 V1.8#2752
kernel version : 2.6.32.9

reserved
reserved for more info
Bugs so far.. will update as the forum grows so that we have a reference page at the front.. saves a lot of reading later if this grows too much..
Please report your bugs and we can get people to work out fix's for you..
1: Ndrive does not work in this version
2: Small amount of people experience has Wifi connection/dropout problems - yet to find a fix..
Also no confirmed tests on Ethernet connections as yet - will confirm once we get some feed back - I am in Singapore airport and wasn't able to use the the Ethernet plugin for net.. so will check it out over the next few days as I will be in different Hotels so can test connections on the road
3: No apps2sd --- hope some one smarts finds a work around.. it would be killer if we could redirect some of the apps to see the SD1
A note on this...
in 2.2 V1.8 the file structure is sdcard local ram storage.... and ... SD1 - sdcard storage.. and SD2 -
in 2.2 V2.1 file structure is Local ram storage... and SDcard 1 and 2
both are locked in to using the local partitions for program storage and program data storage..
Which is a shame as things like ebooks and heavy graphic programs it would be nice to send the storage to SD1 or 2
This is fixed.. look at Smarkies thread for work around..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074251
4: Synchronization contacts and google calendar - Mixed bag on this one.. some get it some don't...might be a cache thing..
Fix once again provided by Barsuk .. check posts from Capeschae and Barsuk for fix.. they are from posts 121 pg13 - 126 pg 13
5: Paid Market apps - This is because of the China location block from Google more on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551929&page=3
there seems to be a fix thanks to Barsuk..
Problems with market. Not all applications are available. Workaround: clear data for Google Services Framwork then force stop it then reboot tablet.]

Yes..I had that problem too..as tried to set a cache Linux as well..had a God arwful time with it..I think it is something to do with how they have setup the drives for the internal ram on the pad..
Hopefully one of the guru's will grab this then work out how we can get real apps2sd..then we will be laughing..

I installed this official Froyo too. It's very, very fast, more than all the different firmware tested from here!
Some remarks/questions:
- The camera is not working anymore, the preview screen shows green or sometime other colors...
- A lot of apps are pre-installed, meaning that it is impossible to update them (Dolphin Browser, Skype, Facebook etc...)
- Is it possible to install Flash Player on it? Will it work? Does anybody tried?
- Is it possible to overclock the Flytouch2 with this rom? Is the kernel overclockable?
Thanks,
Tuc

This verision is awesome, having problems rooting it, have tried z4root and universal android root also, anyone have a solution for this. also having problems with market, not showing alot of apps, mostly Chinese and no google navigation

I used UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5. The first time did not work the second time worked.

Hello,
Thank you for answering me. It is true that by dhcp works perfectly, but prefer to solve the problem and leave it in static. Anyway with this solution, I better to work with the epad and already ire sought a way to fix it.
A greeting and thank you

After trying a few flash websites, I noticed that Flash Player is ON BOARD in this Froyo ROM!
But colors are something between colored and black&white...and crash in fullscreen mode.
The colors issue has been fixed on the new Flytouch (512Mb RAM) - the following quotation from Androidtablets.net explains how to proceed:
Flash Player issues RESOLVED - new flash player .apk
I have tested this on my ft2v2 with TCH rom 0419, and it mostly worked! Flash now played with correct colours and almost no lag once buffered. It did however crash when I attempted to go full screen, so not perfect yet. Opera mini and Maxthon Browser use the youtube app for youtube website if you have it installed. This works excelently. Flash worked well on other flash websites, I tried an emag site and it loaded where it would not before.
Here is the new apk: Adobe flash for flytouch3.rar (Thanks koti)
Password: koti
Install:
1) use Root Explorer to rename file \system\app\install-flash-player.apk to .old
2) Reboot Flytouch
3) Install the above .apk
I tried youtube and also some eMag sites.
NOTE: This is now included in Tim's ROMS 3b and 3c.
NJoy!

I tried to find the file \system\app\install-flash-player.apk but it doesn't exist in our 256Mb Flytouch...so I directly installed the new Flash Player from the link above but nothing changed with the Flash videos colors, even after a restart.
Does anyone know how to properly install this new version of Flash Player???!!!

I rectified,
Still failing me the wifi. Automatically I hold a more function, but is still cutting. Before I had the firm 3245 and it worked fine. So I'm going to return to this firm.

"Confirmed that it is 2.2

That would be good - waiting patiently

Features so far:
-Stock, Rooted, Deodexed, Zipaligned
-Removed a bunch of bloat applications
-Removed crap bookmarks
That's about it.
Pre-requisites:
1. You must have the custom recovery installed from the Rooting thread. (If you are going to install this you do not have to install the root zip file, this rom is already rooted.)
Installation Instructions: (Update instructions below)
1. Download to external sdcard
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Make a nandroid backup Highly Recommended
4. Data Wipe/Factory Reset REQUIRED for new installations
5. Flash Rom
6. Reboot and enjoy
Update Instructions:
1. Download the latest version to your external sdcard
2. Reboot to recovery
2a. Looks like you may need to wipe data (Some people are reporting issues with Wifi if they do not wipe data.)
3. Flash Rom
4. Reboot and enjoy
Flashing the rom on my device takes about 1.5 minutes or less, but the first boot will take about 2.5 minutes, and then another 30 seconds or so to format the applications. After the first boot it will boot up much faster.
Further Information:
Since this is basically a very minimally modified version of the stock Rom there is no need to post screenshots.
Removed Apps:
Below in the download section you will find a zip file containing all of the apk files that have been removed from stock during the process of building this Rom. Some of them will allow you to simply install, but other will require a little more effort:
To install apks manually that will not install themselves you will have to do the following:
1. Move the apk file to the /system/app/ folder with a root enabled file explorer
2. Reboot you tablet.

I am not really sure if it will or not since I only have the P5113. Do you know what the difference in the P5110 is?
Edit:
Took a quick look at a spec sheet and the only thing I noticed was that it looks like the P5110 might not have the IR?

Regional stuff only, I think, but if there are firmware files that differ between countries because of wifi channels, etc, it could be a problem. Never mind, I'll try it anyway. Might steal vendor files from a backup made before the flashing of your ROM.

The P5110 is without 2G/3G GSM Unit.

The P5113 does not have 2G/3G either.

I am looking forward to test this rom

I'm looking at creating a similar ROM for the 5100 (3G version) but I'm running into some issues during the framework de-odex.
@sgrant: if you have any pointers as to the tools or methods you use to actually make it work, I'd appreciate it.
Peace,
C.

Omg! Soo excited to try this!

If I had to guess I would say that you are targeting the wrong framework. Make sure you are targeting framework 15.
Regarding tools, I use Android Kitchen, but I DO NOT allow it to convert my updater-script to an update-script. Basically this means I can only use a few of the features of Android Kitchen:
1. Deodex Files
2. Zipalign
3. Create and sign zip
You may be able to use a few more things without the update-script, but I had troubles anytime I let Kitchen create it.
If you need more help create a thread in the Q&A forum and PM me the link. That way others will have a better time finding the information.

Clean ROM test results
Before you install the Clean ROM v1.0, know the following:
1. You MUST do a factory/reset in CWM5 (the CWM you install from my OP)
2. Factory Reset will NOT delete EVERYTHING on your external SD card
3. Installing Clean ROM V1.0 will NOT damage your CWM5.
4. I personally tested the Clean ROM V1.0 today. Runs smooth and it has some of the "bloatware" that can't be removed from the standard stock ROM. I detected an ever-so-slight improvement in smoothness & speed.
5. This ROM has NOT been tested on ANY Tab2 other than GT-P5113 at this time.
Bottom Line: We have our first SAFE custom ROM for the Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113.
Thank you sgrant !

My mistake. When I tried to access my external card using Astro File Manager it said the card was 100% blank and not even formatted. Removed SD card from Tab, plugged into my desktop PC and saw that all my files/data is still on the external SD card. I have corrected my posts accordingly.

Excited to test this when I get home today!! Thank you for your work!

Been using the rom for a day now. only thing is I have the 1gb ram version and its only working on 512mb, even after using the 1gb ram bit.. any idea anyone?

For those having issues with the 1gb versions only using 512MB
I found some advice on a german web sight that seams to work.
I used the 4.1.2 files in the torrent linked on youtube and followed this advice
and the "2.5 GB DATA PERMANENT ROOT + FULLY WORKING RECOVERY" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952991&highlight=1gb
Now i got 4.1.2 and 1gb ram. The GPS is still poo but I'm working on that
A google translate of the german is:
Code:
For anyone having issues with having only 512MB after flashing JB, this is what I did:
first Copy all the files except boot.img from / 2.5GB-data-perm-root folder into / b92m411/FILE NECCESSARI folder.
second Delete preloader_vanzo77_twn_jb.bin inside / b92m411/FILE NECCESSARI folder.
third Flash using flashtool untill the green mark appears.
4th Unplug your phone then boot into recovery (volume up + power).
5th Thurs factory reset, then reboot system Voila! Now you have 1GB of RAM. If you want 2.5GB internal memory (not phone memory), flash and preloader.img EBR1 only inside / 2.5GB-data-perm-root folder by Flashtool. Then boot into recovery, go to mount and storage, format / data. Reboot your phone.

Thank you, Ben.
Regarding the GPS, this morning , just for curiosity, I went in my car and placed my phone on the dash board. After a couple minutes I received the GPS signal and lock.
Never before!!!. I have to say that I have In Car NavigationSystem and the aerial is under the dash board. As I walked away from the car, the accuracy was increasing(in distance).
What all this means? Is the aerial problem with the phone?
P.S. The GPS on my original HTC One XL is much faster to lock and the accuracy is about 3 Meters as the picture shows.

Hi, I was thinking the the socket to the left of the SD Card is for an external antenna. Was wondering if adding one would boost gps signal and or wifi?

Working Great.
1) Touch is working great. - It will work after 5-6 Seconds.(If possible just press back Hardware key)
2) Its Superfast.
3) Approx 90% functions are working.(A normal day user can flash it without any problem.
4) Taking backing up normally & deleting data & caches also.
Few bugs:
1) you can't view what you are flashing ( Texts are going quickly downwards to front page & hence you can't see it)
2) 1 or 2 functions aren't working(might be my R problem).
I m attaching the zip file with Adam's Update - binaries.
Flash it & Enjoy. :good:

thx alot for reply! deeply appreciate it!:angel: how about using ur aroma browser that is built in inside the recovery and mark all files and just delete them ? will i be able to reboot into recovery mode after that? i was thinking that recovery files where flashed into a flash memory outside the phones internal memory to be a fail safe place harmless for beeing erased unless flashed with odin or flashed with any compatible recovery we got availible. am i right about this?
so my short question again is can i mark all folders and files and delete them directly through the built in aroma browser?

[RECOVERY] Clockworkmod Recovery for ZTE V967S

DISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROMS have risks and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledges about phones and phones utilities too.
Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.
I built from source a CWM Recovery, version 6.0.4.4 adapted by me to build in cm-10.1 environment, for ZTE V967S phone. I have to say Thank you to C3C076 for his help. He was kind to help me to figure out how to tweak building source for recovery, to obtain a compatible recovery. So, you should thank him, or even better to donate to him if you can. Now I improved the MTK compatibility, I fixed restore old recovery issue.
The CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery can be downloaded from downloads section. If you care enough, and you like what I did, after download just hit the Thanks button. If you use it or port it and ask other to hit Thanks for you, do the same here to show respect for my work.It is fully functional: it works for flash zip, to wipe, mount (both internal and external sdcard), backup, restore, format to factory from phone settings menu, apply updates from stock ROM, etc.If you share my compiled recovery on other sites or forums, please give proper credits for it!

CREDITS and THANKS
C3C076 for his help on tweaking recovery source.
bgcngm for his wonderful tool for unpacking and repacking img.
rua1 for MTK Droid Root & Tools.
dsixda for his Android Kitchen.
Cyanogenmod Team for their wonderful project.
Koushik for creating Clockworkmod Recovery and for constant improvement of it.
-- You really should thank to all of these guys or if you can to donate to them, because without their hard and fine work, we couldn't enjoy our phones as we should.

If you choose to use these, you are doing that on your own risk, and I can not be held responsible for any damage you made to your phone.
1. SPFlashTool backup ROM
A SPFlashTool prepared backup from last stock version 1.0.0 - 27.08.2013 for NonChina Market, if you need to unbrick your phone, or if you want to revert to stock. This version has English as default, and also include Chinese and Russian. It has root and custom CWM, otherwise is untouched. You have to flash this one with SPFlashTools. The scatter file is included.
3. A version prepared from last LewaOS v5 - only English - LewaMax v2.
Rooted, optimized, gapps included. The ROM will not change your recovery.
INSTALL INSTRUCTION:
Many people have problems with force closed processes because they don't flash a new ROM properly.
- In recovery, mount USB Mass storage and delete from sdcard these folders:
.android_secure
Android
LOSTDIR
- then back in recovery do a wipe all data/factory reset in CWM or Pre-Flash wipe in COT
- in CWM in advanced menu wipe Dalvik cache / in COT in storage management menu wipe Dalvik cache
- Now flash the ROM zip.
ATTENTION:
For extending data partition please refer to this source. It's better than my previous modd and I think it's safer. Thank you meteos.But, I recommend you to use top 2.5 Gb data partition size, and let remaining 237 Mb for sdcard failure situations.
Here you will find MTKDroidTools of rua1's.

I removed from that the preloader, since is a high risk to damage your phone using that. But if someone need it I will send him private. You have to flash this one with SPFlashTools. The scatter file is included.
2. An optimized ROM, prepared from 1.0.5 stock version, ZTE V967S ROM Max Flavour v-2. Slimed, odexed (about 60Mb apps on data usage), zipaligned, busybox, debloated, multilingual (sort of), and some other things. I replaced the Launcher with SOLOLauncher because is lighter (only 5-6 Mb instead of 20) and have more features. I've tested it and it works flawless. You should flash it with CWM Recovery.
3. Will come a version prepared from last LewaOS v5 for MIUI fans.

Hi Carliv, thank you very much for your rom. I am trying it and I am quite happy with that. I am only experiencing some problem with GPS: in some cases I was not able to switch on or switch off the GPS. Another thing that looks a little bit strange is that in YGPS -> Information the "chip version" is "UNKNOWN". With the sock ROM I am sure that the information about the chip version was displayed (MTK_GPS_.....). Have you the same issue?
Ciao.

No, I haven't any problem with GPS, and if you check GPS in YGPS with GPS switched ON it will show you chip version.
I don' understand where you can't swith on/off GPS: in quickpanel toggles, in settings locations... You don't say that. So, please, be more specific.
When I need GPS, I turn it ON, and it connects in about 3 sec. if I'm outside, or maybe 10 if I'm inside near a window.
Thanks for appreciations.
I'll try to help you if you give me more informations.
--------------------------later edit------------------
One other thing, I noticed that if you use scheduled power off/on, you have to manualy restart the phone after self turning on, because the WIFI and GPS doesn't work properly... I don't know why, and I think this is a bug in 1.0.5 version.

hello ,
thanks for your support in our phone ZTE V967S
i have bought the phone from minideal.net with 1.0.3 MULTILANGUAGE, rooted and google play store version and chinese CWM, but i want to install 1.0.5 version
and ENGLISH cwm. does your 1.0.5 version support full GREEK language?
how to install CWM Recovery 6.0.3.5??
you gave us the scatter file, the usb drivers for ZTE and the recover.img.
but HOW to use them? give us full details
As i can understand with SLIM version you do not have Google Play Store installed.
right?
i want to install SLIM version to have battery improvement but i am a little afraid if sth goes wrong (someone says that the GPS is not
working perfectly and maybe some important things are missing) what is your opinion for SLIM version in general? will i have a problem if i install SLIM
compared with FULL?
also i want the 5GB userdata partition.. how to manage that?
maybe i need first flash 2.5GB ZTE V967S P188F07 Max_v2
and then flash again Extend2_5GBUserData.zip
RIGHT?
can i do it directly ??

You're welcome!
Now, let's see:
1. No ROM is full multilanguage, except the case that all apps have multilanguage support. Otherwise, my version is as much multilanguage as minideal version from what I've seen - I ported translations from a Lenovo P770 because is very much similar. You will have Greek just like in minideal version.
We can try togheter to make a better translation if other users want that; I can post here archives with xml files that have to be translated, you make translations, post here back and I could integrate them in a ROM. That way we can translate even SystemUI, which now isn't.
2. To install CWM the easy way is with SPFlashTools - all you need is the scatter and recovery.img. Of course, you have to install proper drivers before - you can find them in first post. How to use SPFlashTools I can't reproduce here because there are several guides on forum, here is one of them. Just one thing: if you find hard to enter the phone in bootloader, just remove the battery and connect the phone to computer without battery - it will enter in bootloader automate.
3. I don't have gapps in my phone SLIM ROM, but version posted to download has, because many of you use them - I don't. The GPS is working perfect for me, the only bug I found untill now, and don't think is related to my work, but to original release, is that if you use Scheduled power on & off, after phone starts from sleep you have to reboot manualy, otherwise Wifi and GPS won't work correctly. I hope they'll solve that in a next release like they did with camera flash. But, overall slim or full version shares the same drivers, modules and libraries, and only difference is in installed apps. The full version has stock launcher and weather, and live wallpapers, etc. The slim version don't have those things.
4. You can't use a 5GB userdata partition because the entire phone memory is 4GB. You can expand userdata to max. 2.7GB, but I provided a solution for 2.5, because in case o SDCard failure on mount/unmount or other event, the phone will use those 270 MB from internal storage to function properly until you fix sdcard, without losing data. There are some solutions to expand data partition on sdcard, but I didn't tried them and I can't say you how that works. My ROM with 2.5 GB support will repartition userdata for you during install, and when the phone boots up you will see internal storage 2.5 GB instead of 1GB.
Ok, That covers all your concerns. Thank you for appreciations.

1. for Greek Language i think i am ok... as i can understand you import multilanguage support from Lenovo P770. how minideal managed to have Multilanguage support for 1.0.3 ?
did they import from another phone too?
2. another solution to install English CWM recovery is with Mobileuncle MTK Tools. do you agree? but thanks for your help for SPFlashTools.
ZTE USB Driver.zip ,MT6589 drivers.zip, MT6589 USB VCOM drivers.7z. which of the 3 drivers to install in order my PC to recognize my
phone? how to enter CWM? what do i need to press?
3. i want to have your SLIM version but with Google Play Store installed. how can i do this?
Are we sure that the problem with WIFI and GPS not working correctly after phone starts from sleep (Scheduled power on & off) is a problem
of ORIGINAL version? maybe it is sth eith your rom.... can someone confirm that?
4. what is the purpose of Extend2_5GBUserData.zip ???
before i had Xperia Sole . because the internal available memory for installed apps and games was about 4 GB some people developed a
tool to swap the internal memory with the external SD card. in this way if someone has 16 GB external SD card he/she can install BIG games without capacity problems

I don't know how minideal got their translation, maybe they did it, it's not that hard, there are 4 files to translate to every language, and other 2 if you want SystemUI too, but you have to know a lot of foreign languages. That's the reason I said we can make a better translation, but everyone have to translate from English to his language.
Yes, you can install recovery with MobileUncle but you have to be rooted and to have MobileUncle installed. The way I presented works even for untouched stock ROM. Don't matter which order you install drivers. Install them all one by one, and connect phone in normal boot and wait for windows to install previous drivers for the new device, then connect phone in bootloader and wait again for windows to install necesary drivers.
The slim version posted here is with gapps included, you don't have to do anything for that - I thought I made myself clear. The version without gapps I kept it for me, I didn't share it. Most people want gapps and there was no reason to upload a version without them. No, I don't think that refresh for GPS and wifi has anything to do with my intervention, it's related to the way the phone enter to sleep and wake up, because is not completely shut down. My guess is that on wake up, not all modules are started properly, and that's the reason a phone restart solve the problem: when Android starts all modules are loaded correctly.
The purpose of Extend2_5GBUserData.zip is, as I said in that post, that people who don't want to install any of my ROM with 2.5GB support, to achieve an extended partition while they keep their ROM: minideal, stock original, or others not shared by me.
I know about that thing with extend to sdcard, but I didn't tried yet, and from what I've seen compiling recovery, for this phone you need to unpack, repack recovery.img and boot.img too, to modify fstab, not only that from etc folder. So, it's a little bit more complicated. Some people made some scripts for that for this kind of phones but for different cpu. I can't help you with this matter, because I'm not interested in it. For me 2.5GB of internal memory is more than enough.
LewaOS v5 is a different framework, more like MIUI, but with different launcher type. I did a debloated version, because LewaOS is mainly for China, and they have a lot of chinese apps. The people that download it they know what is. I used to like it, but now, the ZTE ROM, optimized please me more.

thanks for your help. I am really appreciate this. so if I want to extend my internal storage to 2,5 GB directly to minideal modded rom version I need to flash Extend2_5GBUserData.zip via CWM. right? there is no need to install first your modded version.
how to connect my phone in bootlader mode???
so you propose me to install lite version. I will give a try when my phone come to my hands!!!
one more question maybe not suitable for this thread but I wll ask you. do you know to propose me good screen protectors and slim caces for ZTE V967s? I heard that V987 quad uses the same protectors and caces with V967s. is it true?

Ok.
I don't use any screen protector. The screen is Gorilla Glass and you can't scratch it even if you want. Actually I can't find that info now, I've read that ZTE support answer that to a user. On official description is an IPS screen. But seems to be very hard. I've tested it with door key, really :good:
And the case... Mine came with some sillicone cheep case, I don't like it. I don't know if the case from v987 fits, because I know that v987 is 0.7mm thinner.

so you have this phone and you bought it from minideal.net. right?
you make me happy. but I am not sure for Gorilla Glass. the specifications does not mention that. and Greek guys say that is normal glass not Gorilla. are you sure for that? if you use your nails it will not scratch the screen.
also you have not answered me for Extend2_5GBUserData.zip
can I flash it directly to minideal modded version or is it necessary to flash your rom first?
about a slim case fitted exactly to our phone do you have sth in your mind to buy ?
also how do you find the photo and video quality of the camera?
thanks for all. you are great

Ok, I modified that to official infos, IPS screen. I've read that in an email support answer from ZTE, but I can't find now the source.
About Extended 2.5 GB I already told you two times, you can use it with any ROM, or to be specific: you can flash it on your minideal ROM.

I don't know any case because I don't use one, but I read somewhere, I don't remember where, about a leather case for it. I don't know more.
The camera is average, but I didn't expect much from it, I have a DSLR camera for photos.
Cheers.

sorry my friend. just wanted to be sure !!!! sorry if you repeat some things twice for me.
in what way do u extend the data size up to 2,5 gb ? is it dangerous for the phone or does it has any effect to the performance and speed of the phone?
about the screen I have read in the official specifications that it is IPS and not Gorilla glass.
but first as you said somewhere read that it is Gorilla. and secondly you tried with your nails and key to scratch the screen without damages. if the screnn was just IPS this would never happened. what to say?????
I am a little sad with the picture quality!!! never mind.

Well, the method for repartitioning is presented here by meteos. You just need to modify in hex editor some values for Extended Boot Records EBR1 and EBR2. It's not dangerous if you don't make mistakes and enter some values that extend userdata more than 2.7 GB, and that wipe some portion of primary partition. In that case you will have a bricked phone and you can repair it, only by reflashing entire ROM in SPFlashTool.
EBR is for logical partition (userdata, phone storage or internal sdcard) and MBR for primary partition (Boot, Recovery, System..).
My archives are safe, and I've tested both myself without any problem. I'm using now a slim ROM with 2.5GB userdata (internal memory).
You're welcome.

thanks for your help.
you are always helpfull.
if you have any news for new scripts which swap the internal memory with our external SD card memory just inform us..
did you try to play heavy games? does the phone play them smoothly?
if you increase the storage to 2,5 gb what do you choose in storage option : auto , sd or internal storage?
a greek friend of me tried your SLIM rom. he said it is very LIGHT and FAST. But he has problem to select GREEK keyboard. he selects greek keyboard but the choice can not be saved. please try to fix this!!!

Ok, sorry for late answer. I was busy to update recovery to 6.0.3.6 version.
Now, I don't have time to play games, I never installed one in my phone, so.. I don't know how they work in it.
The increased storage is for memory (if you install heavy apps which needs a lot of memory, they use that as virtual memory). I select always sdcard in storage options as default.
I don't know why your friend has trouble to set greek keyboard. I selected it, test it, reboot phone - still there. To select: Settings - Language & Input - KEYBOARD & INPUT METHODS - Android keyboard settings - select only languages you use and deselect others - go back - Default - select Greek - exit - done.
I know it's light and fast, I wanted to be.
