DESCRIPTION
Hi all 
This is the first REAL kitkat rom for zopo 980/990, is entirely (kernel and android) compiled by me from mediatek source
everythings works, only some minor bug are present…but it's only the first public release
changelog:
09/10 – Ver 1.0.7
- Wifi Tweak (little improved speed and stability)
- Flash sync tweak
- Front camera up to 8MPX in Third-party app (only 3MPX in stock camera app)
- Radio FM app now works without headphone
- AROMA: mod for remove reboot option in powermenu
- AROMA: mod for install a new boot logo by aquilacd70
- AROMA: mod for switch back to use Superuser instead of Kinguser
02/10 Ver 1.0.6_new
- changed some commands in flash script, if you are unable to flash the 1.0.6 try with this new version
01/10 – Ver 1.0.6
- root : switched from superuser app to kinguser app
- vendor lib: updated the precompiled vendor lib
- wifi: different firmware files
- wifi: tweak some power parameters
- display: now in aroma you can select the display resolution (FullHD or HD). the HD resolution is nice for boost graphical speed in games
- kernel : fix for working softkey in HD resolution
some info about resolution HD and FULLHD
in the version 1.0.6 i have created a script for set the display resolution (and DPI) in HD or FULLHD.
HD resolution help a lots in games.
to change the resolution during the flash just activate (or deactivate) the option in aroma, enable if you want to use the HD resolution, disable if you want to use the FullHD.
every time you want to change the resolution just flash the rom with the option you want (you need flash because it is necessary to change the kernel depending on the resolution chosen)
There are 2 little problems:
- the first boot after changing the resolution (only the first time) there may be icons with wrong size (too big or too small) in the status bar and launcher, just reboot for fix
- at HD resolution the boot animation is correct, but a few seconds before completing the boot becomes huge, it's just a visual bug

10/09 – Ver 1.0.0
- first public release
know bug:
- camera stock show only 8MPX, with other app (camera360, google camera etc) u can select 13MPX
- the compass works but is not accurate as on JB
- the vibration is low compared to JB
- ART not work (for now…)
- maybe other…let me know
for enable/disable the function sweep2wake, doubletap2wake and pocket detect i have created a script.
just install a terminal emulator and write:
su
sets2w
and set to 0 what u want to disable
pocket detect use the proximity sensor for disable s2w/dt2w when phone is in pocket (or when the sensor is covered by something)
need this recovery to flash this rom, also need a full wipe (if u update from previous version u can wipe only cache and dalvik)
In aroma installer u can select if flash for zopo 980, 990 or C3
for 980 and 990 there is a 2 variant, A and B (differ only in the rotation of the screen)
try first with the A version, if screen in landscape mode is upside down reflash with the B version
there is also an alternative version with different proximity driver, if proximity sensor does not work try with this

※Please make a backup of your device before installing or updating ROM
first of all thanks for the great rom
one problem regarding zopo c7 with 1.0.1 rom
after applying set2w using tap to wake the phone does not wake but automaticly restarts , any one faced same issue, or am i doing something rong ??
please help
Thanks Paolo for the work you have done!
For now it will not be my daily driver, because WiFi is slow and cell reception is bad. Sometimes just one bar when with original rom is four bars….
Keep up the good work!
Hi. I have some problems with this rom!
. Sometimes when i lock the device, it restarts.
. When im on a call, screen doesnt turn off (Maybe sensor of proximity?)
. Wifi signal is too weak.
If someone knows how to fix this bugs please tell me. Anyways is amazing have kitkat on my C2, thank you @paolothlw8 for this work!!!
Hi Paolothlw8
Your latest baseband seems to be doing wonders for me. From the first day I bought the phone and it was one year back, I had the problem of network when using dual sim with 3g. If I restart the phone I was never able to get back the signal on both Sims. Faced the same problem when I changed the 3g from one sim to another. I Will ll be able get the signal only after medling with the settings. This might take sometimes 2 hours. I was just frustrated with device. I just had to continue with the phone because I couldn’t afford a new one. I had tried more than 10 to 15 roms. But none of them could solve my problem. But this rom had been so far so good. It’s working fine with phone restart and changing 3g from one sim to another without any problem. It looks like my dream had come true with your new baseband. I will just wait and see for some more time to check how it continues. I thank you so much for this new baseband.
sorry for the delay but I had a family bereavement
in a few hours i will upload new version 1.0.2 with some fix for proximity sensor and backlight autobrightness
changelog:
kernel: fix automatic backlight level value steps
rom: tweak some automatic backlight settings
rom: fix backlight smooth transition
rom: fix write permission on external sdcard for some app
rom: added Google TTS and chrome bookmark sync
rom browser: set default download directory to "Download"
ZOPO980/C2: alternative kernel with different proximity sensor driver (for those not working with the base kernel)
for telephone signal i have tried several JB baseband but (for now) without getting improvements
paolothlw8, please… battery improvement life, if you can. I tried to make somme tweaks, but I failed. Battery drain at <25%.
Paolothlw8. Please don’t change the current baseband, it’s really good. Please try to improve battery life.
Paolo, i am sorry for your loss, my hertfelt condolences, howerver you did very good work with the new rom, i tried now, without do wipe and choose 980 proximity sensor and now working!!! i think wifi signal is better, i am not sure yet for sim1 i had problem before. My programs and settings are all in their places! thanks you are the best

Sorry for the loss in your family. Take your time. Your roms are great already. Yes…a couple of things can be better, but work is work, hobby is hobby…and life goes above all.
I had only two complaints with v1.01:
- Sim1 is most of the time better signal than sim2 (and both are the same provider).
- Proximity Sensor not working.
The rest of the things like wifi bad and battery-drain I dont have problems with it.
Will install 1.02 now
I said sim1 was better than sim2, but I meant the other way around.
But with v1.02 ….. sim1-signal is better now I think. Wifi the same. Proximity sensor not tested yet.
Thanx Paolo
