Guest dakok Posted August 11, 2013 Report Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) This nice device has respectable attention from users and devs in China. Diligent devs and moders made a bunch of interesting roms for it. At this place, I will bring those interesting roms, something I used to do here on Modaco - while my Huawei g300 was with me.Roms - post #2 For those of you that still don`t have rooted device with CWM on, take a look at this topic. Btw, that nice roms from Bruno are really good. For the rest of us, here we go now:Have a nandroid (cwm) backup - just in case (as usual)Don`t flash those roms immediately if you are not sure what you`re doing.As first, check chinese rom topics on modaco (Miui, Baidu, Shendu, EMUI, LewaOS, JoyOS, MokeeOS...)for some specific stuff regarding CWM, updater-script and removing chinese apks.Majority of chinese roms is bi-lingual: chinese & english.Some of them have more languages with the help of devs/moddersCWM: Sometimes, flashing a chinese rom could bring you a chinese cwm. Delete lines with the word: recovery in updater-script, delete Recovery folder or recovery.img fileChinese apks: Delete apks (mostly in system/apps folder) with chinese names (hint: ApkSpy) prior to flashing or later, with a root explorer. Or rename file extension.updater-script: If there are lines in script inside META-INF/com/google/android -at the begining of the script, with another phone name, delete those lineshosts file: it is at /etc/hosts Open it and and delete all the lines except localhost 127.0.0.1 (at the beginning): This is mostly for GB&CM7 romsUser interface: All chinese roms have at least english language in settings. It is not hard to find it, but if you fail - do this before flashing:build.prop: Replace zh to en; CN to US in:ro.product.locale.language=zhro.product.locale.region=CNUse 7zip for opening and saving rom file and notepad++ for editing filesPull a file from rom opened with 7zip to desktop, edit it and drag it back to rom.This is just a general guidance. Please check chinese roms topics on Modaco Huawei g300 forum for more detailed explanationsInstallation instructions:- You have to be rooted, have to have custom recovery (cwm, maybe twrp)- Download zip file (rom) and Gapps and transfer that to SDcard- Turn on debugging on your phone, turn off quick boot, turn off phone (some folks remove battery now:))- Press vol. up and power button together for 10 seconds.- You are in CWM now (probably)- Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition- Mounts and storage: Format System, Cache, Data. Go back- Advanced: Wipe Dalvik cache, Reboot recovery- Install zip from SDcard -> choose zip -> your rom (zip)- Install zip from SDcard -> choose zip -> gapps for 4.1 or 4.2 (zip)- Reboot to systemLeave your phone now for 5 minutes, let it take a breath.Feel free to give comments and links.Known names of chinese v987 devs and modders:GTbluesky, Juelian, Lovest3D, EyeAlan... P.S. for MIUI roms, you can find Gapps (google play flashing file) down in MIUI multilanguage link. Flash gapps after you flash rom and reboot it. P.P.S. Sometimes it would be good to delete .android_secure Android LOSTDIR from (external) SD card before flashing I will update this post with other relevant stuff... Edited November 25, 2013 by dakok

I've just bought the same phone (after reading you did so, I checked it out and found it has what i need), 238$ shippings to Italy included on mixeshop. Have you seen some decently multilanguage roms? Or, anyway, would you recommend a specific english only rom? Edited September 4, 2013 by klezkk
Guest dakok Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 Hi Klezkk! Bruno`s rom from XDA is a good multilanguage rom. All chinese roms have english and chinese interface. You choose that in settings. I tested latest Miui and Lewa roms. They are very good. There is another new rom from 4PDA, russian mobile forum. Although it is not a chinese rom I will update my rom list with it.
Guest Frankish Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 Looks like Paul has bought one of these judging by his twitter!!
Guest dakok Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 Roms list is updated with MIUI multilanguage. Gapps and mirrors there, too...
Guest dakok Posted September 14, 2013 Report Posted September 14, 2013 Rom list is updated with next roms: iNfinity HD WSP-RH123 Skin 4.0 Galaxy S4 UI
Guest klezkk Posted September 15, 2013 Report Posted September 15, 2013 MIUI v5 multilanguage: http://miuiandroid.com/community/ (has multilanguage pack, gapps, too) Seems promising, have you tried it? I'm still waiting for my phone, it should be here like on Friday.
Guest klezkk Posted September 16, 2013 Report Posted September 16, 2013 Bruno's rom is hosted on devhost, but it's actually down... Are you able to share it, privately if needed?
Guest dakok Posted September 17, 2013 Report Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Here`s v3 It works, checked a minute ago Edited September 17, 2013 by dakok
Guest dakok Posted September 22, 2013 Report Posted September 22, 2013 Rom list is updated with BBK VIVO X3T rom
Guest dakok Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Rom list updated: Baidu Cloud 4.2 is replaced with "semi-official" Baidu ROM35 by Dream Sky Baidu development group Previous Baidu rom relese was just a port. This might be the real thing. Only a couple of mtk6589 based china phones have support from major rom makers - Miui, Lewa and Baidu ZTE v987 is one of them :) Edited September 26, 2013 by dakok
Guest dakok Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Latest Miui OTAs brought a bug to cwm. It reboots to OS 10 seconds after you start it. Solution is to wipe cache during that ten seconds. Then everything is back to normal. Edited September 30, 2013 by dakok
Guest dakok Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 First release of Lewa v5 looks very very promising... Interesting that you don´t need to flash Gapps (google play store and services) with new Lewa v5 rom. Simply add new account -> Google in settings, sign in at google and then find Play Store, Maps, Gmail... in Lewa market aplication. Lewa v5 has a fantastic lockscreen - pitty I can´t replace Shanghai weather icon - no non-chinese locations there I think.
Guest Frankish Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 Do you have any trouble with root on it? The X9 release i can't seem to get to work. Thought i'd ask here seeing as we're both mtk6589!
Guest dakok Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 Lewa v5 root? Yes, just need to activate it somewhere in settings or in security app settings..
Guest Frankish Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 Lewa v5 root? Yes, just need to activate it somewhere in settings or in security app settings.. Oh silly me is there an app a bit like MIUI? I noticed there was no superuser app installed so i've tried all that including other exploits like framaroot tc i feel silly now will have a look...

Guest Rostilj xD Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 I didn't see that. You're fast! That is yesterday build 3.10.11.
Guest dakok Posted October 20, 2013 Report Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Great news! Baidu Rom for v987 is taking official path. I changed Baidu ROM35 link in post #2 to BAIDU ROM official website link. Enjoy! Edited October 20, 2013 by dakok
