DESCRIPTION
This rom should work on all ZP980 and C2. I think it will work on C3 as well, but had no confirmation of that.
V2.2
Added sony walkman (There was no music app before)
Added nova launcher instead of the stock one
Added build.prop tweaks
Improved overall speed
V2.1
Fixed many bugs that were present in v2.
V2.0
Back to basics 
Felt like my previous versions weren't as good as it could be. So I decided to start over and went back to basics.
Hopefully everyone will enjoy it, I have uploaded new screenshots with this version as well.
It's just optimized, if you want something changed, use the included gravitybox/xposed installer app.
Other then those 2 apps, it's completely stock.
Features:
1. Sony display technology software
2. Build is optimized, Camera has been improved and videos + photos are better looking.
3. Ghost touches (If caused by software) are now less frequent.
4. Sony bravia engine for better looking videos and photos.
5. English supersu root
6.. Improved GPS, first fix might take awhile, but after that it should be quick as lightning with good accuracy.
7. Has all the google apps including gmail, play store, maps etc
I'm not someone thats really good with roms, so dont hold me responsible if something goes wrong, i'm just trying to help and making this rom avaible for wider public
Basic instructions:
If you want to flash custom roms, you'll have to root first, then install a recovery.
To root you can use the following tool: http://forum.zopomobileshop.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=877&extra=
After you've rooted:
1. Install the app Mobileuncle Tools from the google play store.
2. Download this recovery: https://www.needrom.com/mobile/zopo-c2-twrp-v1/ You'll get 1 file called recovery.img. Put this on your phones sdcard.
3. Go into the app Mobileuncle Tools and select Recovery update. Select the recovery.img you put on your phone earlier and press ok.
4. You've now flashed a custom recovery on your phone. Restart your phone.
5. Now you can enter recovery using Mobileuncle Tools app as well, just tap Into recovery mode.
6. If you're asked to give supersu/superuser rights in any of the above steps, allow it.
You can now install roms.
Alright here are the instructions to install this rom
1. Download any rom for your device that's .zip file extension
2. Put it on your phone's sd card
3. Use mobileuncle tools app to boot into recovery.
4. When you're in recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache and do a factory reset.
5. Press install in recovery and select the .zip file you downloaded.
6. Let it install, it will say when it's finished. first boot can take a few minutes.
If you want to backup data etc you can use an app like titanium backup.
※Please make a backup of your device before installing or updating ROM
i just installed v0.18
Love this rom, it's a lot more stable than the Zopo stock rom.
and seems to improve (but not completely fixed) my 3G data connection issue too.
But there is one major problem, battery
My battery percentage jumps big percentage after reboot.
And it seems like the phone doesn't charge battery too.
And if i use MobileUncle to check battery voltage when charging, the battery is just not going up at all when charging.
Ocassionally it does goes up, then it will come down.
Either the battery is not charging at all or the voltage reading is completely incorrect.
I didn't have this problem at all with the stock rom, and i tried with different USB port/charger to charge
oh and I downloaded the version with the download speed display
Is it normal for the 0B/s always visible at the top ALL the time ? (when it's not using internet of course)
Thanks in advance
This is a screen capture of my battery status.
I basically just let the phone sitting on the desk most of the day, but as you can see, the battery charges sometime, then doesn't go up even when i'm not using the phone at all (no screen, no internet, nothing running)
And there are big jumps in battery % when i restart the phone.
None of this happens with the stock rom..
any help would be greatly appreciated.
just received my zopo zp980 2gb 32gb rom… but with issues… camera auto focus does not work but takes pictures. so its not focused. would rom fix the problem or is it a hardware problem and i should return the phone? thanks. currently chatting with the supplier to resolve the issue they said it may be a software problem.
I have same problem with camera auto focus, did this rom fix problem?
Tried 0.16 briefly to see if battery works better unforutnately camera doesn't work so it's a no go and revert back to 0.18
Then downloaded the King Slim ROM which has been working great. Fast, camera works and battery charges quickly and no obvious bugs too.
I do recommend you guys give that a try if you have battery issue.
Only thing i'm missing is the download speed at the top of the screen.
i want to ask you if this rom works perfect in zopo c2 platinum v.1
thank you!
just wanted to add that if anyone else have a problem with the phone freezes and then restarts specially when browsing should try azurerom. Had almost given up hope after trying so many ROMs but finally after installing azurerom it works.
Hello,
Is it working on C3?
I've flashed couple of ROM via FlashTool on my C3. But I'd like to try ROMs which could be uploaded only via CWM ior TWRP.
1. My question is if I flash ROM with CWM/TWRP then in recover mode flash some new ROMs, is it then possible to flash stock ROM back via FlashTool? To have stock ROM without root and everything?
2. Is it possible to try TWRP and then CWM and vice versa? It is not clear to me about using recovery. Or recovery is permanent?
I was 1 minute away from throwing my C2 into the wall until I found this rom. Network problems (losing connection all the time, no connection while charging), annoying ghost touches, keyboard problems… The list goes on. After I installed the slim version rom the network is significantly better, and so far I've only experienced one ghost touch! The phone is much faster and almost feels like an official Google device. Plus the Zopo intro song is gone
Highly recommended, thanks a lot!
Hello,
I use this great rom now, I can see less ghost touches on my C3, but only and big disadvantage is upside down camera. Aby solution already exists ?
New update
Enjoy!
