Guest SYR2 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I agree that the v967s looks like one of the better buys in the current market of China phones. I have been happy with the device apart from backlight bleed that is especially prominent in the bottom corners of the screen on my unit. Still it is probably not worth the hassle to ship it back to China for a replacement. I have also experienced some issues with automatic screen brightness but a different ROM might fix that. I am still running the stock one with Chinese apps removed. A word of warning regarding protective covers, I ordered one for v987 since I could not find one for v967s on eBay (apart from those advertised as fitting both devices). All the cut-outs fit but the sides are not fully covered since the v987 is marginally slimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dovahpig Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Luckily i dont have this backlight bleeding. Automatic screen brightness changes brightness way too much for my taste. I have it on manual. Try Gravitybox, it adds tons of options to play with.

Guest dakok Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Anyone checked "Stock Settings" option in Miui Settings? No need for Mobileuncle now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dovahpig Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Ive switched back to Max Flavour Slim, Miui doesnt suit me somehow. But for the ones who like that whole thing i can confirm it works great. Edited October 30, 2013 by Dovahpig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blaster99999 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I like the max flavour rom too , looks cool , I had to root my v967s but found a app that did it framaroot.apk 1.6.1 , so all I did was run that app then install mobileuncle add the recovery cwm 6044.img to sd card then from mobile uncle upgrade the recovery then install the max rom and gapps . complete process took 10 minutes.

Guest Dovahpig Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) You need to have proper usb drivers installed. Try removing zte usb drivers from add/remove programs and then run windows update. Then select zte usb drivers and let windows install them. For me when i connected my phone it prompted me to install the drivers that were on the phone and it worked. Try rebooting your pc after installing the driver and/or turn off/on your phone while in windows. Edited October 31, 2013 by Dovahpig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dakok Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 After testing over 30 chinese roms on g300 I can say that I have never found one without english UI. Every single one had english/chinese (+mandarin) language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dovahpig Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Great, i bet chinese forums are loaded with roms for V967S. When i have time i will check them out. This morning i tryed Android KitKat 4.4 launcher on our phone. Works fine and fast but lacks settings, and icons are little too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest itanium21 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Well, the 4th step can't be done if you don't have a root access. But as I found out a few minutes later it's very easy to root V967S - just use Framaroot. Few clicks and your phone is rooted ;) Dovahpig, what exactly you didn't like in MIUI rom?

Guest Dovahpig Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Good thing you sorted it out :)I dont like UI of Miui (lol). It has tons of options and works great but i prefer more stock android style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
