ZTE V967S : solutions and roms

Hi,
I just received v967s from etotalk with their modded rom.
I'm experiencing a strange touchscreen behaviour so now I'm looking for its original rom or another custom one before returning it.
I found this www.needrom.com/mobile/zte-v967s/ but the recovery you found there doesn't work.
I'm posting here the original recovery in case you miss that.

Thanks. I'll try warn etotalk about that since their one is based on one from 26/03/2013
EDIT
i tried the official rom and:
. no google apps
. nicer and touchscreens works better but not solved
. camera app is great
. only cn and en languages

According to this http://bbs.lewaos.com/thread-137800-1-1.html other devices have been affected by the touchscreen sensitive problem.
This thread says it has been solved http://bbs.lewaos.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=138880&extra=page=1&page=2 but a comment said the bottom right part is still affected.
How does development work ?

Here you can find the scatter file (to be tested), another root tool and the CWM in chinese language.
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2287917752
I'm testing the CWM which I flashed via the "etotalk tool", a modified versione of "uncle tool"
The CWM works (it's a touch recovery) and I noticed that the phone is affected by the touchscreen problem while using the cwm too (the bottom part works intermittently).
Should I come to the conclusion that the touchscreen is faulty ?

Can the owners of ZTE V967S speak up !! I am interested in buying this phone but I am not sure about the general build quality of ZTE. Previously I have used Jiayu, Lenovo and Star branded phones and all them were very poor quality phones and not worth at all. Can anyone speak about this ZTE ??? I understand that it is a major company in China .... Can their phones be compared with the likes of HTC or Samsung in terms of Quality ???

[Q] Lollipop or custom rom for Sony E4g?

(was directed to this forum from the XDA Assist)
I'm very new to Android (been using iPhone since its release) but i got a Sony Xperia E4g as a gift from my carrier and I would like to update it to Lollipop or root it and get something like MIUI on it. This that possible?
I would like to get rid of all the Xperia software and just get a clean Android install like Nexus phones have.

you can think of source code as a raw materiel of android kernel.
which you/someone has to compile to get a kernel which you can flash on your device.
and you can modify raw meterial to do anything you want to do with your kernel.
for example disabling system write protection (sony_ric) adding custom recovery(cwm) overclocking ,undervolting etc.
and if you get enough experience you can port lollypop or cynogenmod12 to your device.

sony is developing faster than any developer on xda so you can expect lollypop before custom rom,s.

Woah! That's surprising! I thought only Android One devices got MTK sources.

I think mtk no longer sucks.
Mtk devices won't have source code cause most of companies that are using mtk are not releasing source code.
Like micromax never released sources.

i got an E4g it's really fast with good battery life,maybe the faster device in that price.
Soon costum roms will come out and prerooted stock firmware :fingers-crossed:

Did sony realeased source for e4g or only for e4?

Sony said they are releasing e4 with kitkat and they will be updating it to lollipop.
That all i know. Maby said for both e4 and e4g.

cwm, twrp
Hi all there!
Well I got me an e4g as well and I'd spend some time working on cm. Actually I've been looking on the partition table a bit to get cwm or twrp running as a first step but I got stuck there as I could not figure out where the recovery partition resides. Therefore I'd like to know if someone already started working on that and if someone has / or knows where to get a stock rom. And as a last question has someone tried the chinaphone / MTK backup from SpaceX with e4g?
(Sorry cannot post link here )
Cheers

[rom] gemini pro 7.1.1 for umi z/z pro

ok i share the rom with the bug of tint in camrea and pictures for playing or found a solution fix camera gemini umi z.zip 14.8 Mo for third camera (install with twrp).
https://mega.nz/#!6p5BnbRT!ByEPYGbNlN2jV-ojDeJAPnEKkxBHcb5NZuyAwESXZKo
also you can restore a backup of the rom for umi z only ,you can restore with trwp (fix included)) https://mega.nz/#F!T0ZwDK7K!JWuMcqhMGy73XB1YiZ15AQ
it's a twrp version and it' better if you are already on nougat.
first make a bckup with twrp of your rom .
format and install the zip and reboot .
for umi z : for testing the camera you should install an other camera like lenovo camera https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195905998 or htc camera https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298961488 or other . the stock camera don' t work.
for umi z pro not tested . just replace the kernel from umi z by umi z pro kernel in the zip kernel)https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298977443.
gemini pro 7.1.1

@LastStandingDroid hi there fellow. It seems theres been an update for this ROM but due to the boot.img patch on it, i cant apply it on UMIDIGI kernel. Can you somehow help adapt it ?
Here goes the link for the update:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzM6V55mbzNcSWFtNzRZNVVuVzg/view?usp=sharing
It says that it improves the display responsivness (probably solves the navbar ghost touch bug) and improves dual camera quality. Will be biting my nails for an answer. jk
UPDATE:
Imanaged to apply the patch with the gemini pro boot.img but as expected the display lags a lot. In other hand, i noticed that the camera is better but still worst than MM

hello guys , i tried to install gemini nougat like you say, replace kernel umz by mu z pro nothing to do at each reboot im on noa bootlook. I format i tried another time, nothing. Always. For information i install with twrp. A solution ?
---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------
Perhaps somebody can upload a version gemini pro nougat for umi z pro and for twrp ? Thks a lot. I return on MM noa because with the official umidigi nougat, a lot of problem with blutooth connection etc...

Patches made for a specific device can't be applied on a phone with same soc since boot will differ. But it actually sounds like that improvement didn't do much? Best way to actually find if it's working as intended is to find full firmware of new update. If exist. But it sounds like you updated properly so it shouldn't be an issue?
What happen if you revert to stock umi z boot will display still be laggy?

If i revert back to umidigi boot.img, the device just gets on a bootloop. Its like if it is only ok to use one or another boot.img at raw system install. I cant give you a better feedback on this update since the display is way too laggy with ulefone boot.img. Its like with this one, the refresh rate applyed is above what the screen suports and does like some sort of agressive frameskip with some blur effect during it :laugh:

Question Camera degradation on custom ROM?

I owned a previous gen XPeria phone and on that one it was known that if you unlock bootloader and install a custom ROM it will degrade your phone performance permanently because it blows away some partition with DRM keys.
Is it known whether it is the same with the Xperia 5 III?
Similar question: The camera app on my US 5 III is some "Photography Pro" app that very much appears to be a Sony product and not Google. I like it. Is it possible to get this on a custom ROM? Can I just back it up/ restore it with adb?
Apologies if this is already documented elsewhere.
