Root ZTE U960 ROM Discussion

[catty62]

The Solutor,
Can you please recommend a good software to decompile and recompile the Contacts.apk ?

you can try apkmanager 4.9...

 

[catty62]

Nope, i did not.

And as i understand recovery will not recover baseband...

the rom don't touch the baseband ... only oneclick update install the new baseband ...

hi there,

so setCPU can clock it back to 1GHz? Does it set it fixed to 1GHz or do I have to satrt the app every time?
(can not test it atm 'cause my U960 is on my way to me as my last one was broken)

 

[catty62]

which folder contains the wallpapers? I would like to use the wallpaper I was using under stock 2b06...

Thanx

you can set which image you prefer as wallpaper by choosing the image from the gallery and setting it by the menu ...

in the cpumaster you can set at boot the clock you desire but I haven't test it ... otherwise the clock must be change every time you reboot the phone ...

Yes, you can set the minimum and maximum frequency, and can set the governor which will control how the CPU's speed will scaled. And also there is a tick box that says "Set on boot", if you check it, the settings will aplly at every boot, so you'll need to set it only once.

Thanks for quick reply!

So setCPU or cpumaster does not run all the time in the background? I do not want to load several apps at boot (same as I hate icons in the task line )

You're right! If you only install the ROM the Baseband remains unchanged.

How about removing Apps from your ROM? I want to get rid of "TapasHot" and the weird thing on the next page but can not find them in Titanium Backup.

No, it won't run, it will just adjust a few settings.

it run always in background but if you reboot the phone you must set the clock again ...

That screen is not relevant (it shows just what's written in ROM's build.prop).

To check your real baseband version you need to dial the strings

*983*154#
or

*983*1275#

 

[catty62]

First of all i must say a big thanks to catty62 for the amazing rom.
All are working very nice except one strange think that in not from the rom. I am from Greece and i have installed Multiling keyboard for writing in Greek. 2 days now worked perfect but today for unknown reason one letter even if i put to upper case it still shows in low case. For example i write ΚΗπΟΣ and the p is small. I reinstall the program, i tried other program, i wipe and update the rom from the beggining but the problem is there.
Anyone can help with this??

have you tryied the swiftkey? ... it is a very good keyboard ...

[The Solutor]

http://vip.swiftkey.net/sk3beta

useful for everyone want to test the app before buying it.

Yes, to update both the basebands you can use the official updater (see my signature) to update the whole phone, and then flash back the ROM you like more, or you can use the program "research download" to flash just the Spreadstrum baseband (aka SP baseband, aka TD baseband, aka SIM1 baseband)

Hi, is it recommended to update the baseband. currently i'm in b03 as in the picture

 

[The Solutor]

Usually a newer baseband means better reception/radio signal handling and/or less compatibility problems with some kind of SIMs.

So, if you don't have big problems on both areas, updating it is advised but not mandatory.

Hi Solutor,
So can I update the baseband from B03 to B07 (2B07 Spreadstrum baseband) using the research download process?

thanks

 

[zteu960]

... from B03 to B07...

How do I update to the new baseband?
still just via a windows-xp-machine possible?
or is there an easier way?

and btw:

when I enter the codes:
*983*154#
or
*983*1275#

then it only says something like "checking ussd..." but then I get no screen that infoms me about the basband!?

 

[bordapapa]

An interesting observation: updating BusyBox screwed up the internet connection on SIM 2.
After a half day spent with investigating the disappearance of the internet connection on the 2nd SIM, I've came to the conclusion that by updating the BusyBox binaries, the traffic can't get thru on the second SIM, so no web browsing, no mail sync, no nothing. Quite annoying.
Reflashing the ROM, any ROM, after a wipe solved the problem, and it only reappeared after updating the BB binaries.

XP32 is required to flash the phone, no matter if you are using the official one click updater or other service tools
