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
This is a great ROM and I love KitKat on my kind of outdated Zopo 990. Only thing that bugs me (no matter which ROM) is the low volume of my voice during calls. Lots of recipients are complaining that I sound silent and kind of muffled. Even though this is not connected to this KitKat ROM, any ideas how to fix this? My attempts to change the volume in engineer mode didn't make it any better
hi, this is my problem too zopo 990….and paolo:dose this rom may come with color os?
Hi! Maybe this little hole of your microphon is closed by something. So the sound has to go thru the case.
Thx Paolo
Hi, I installed this rom, it is good! Only a few problems:
- Primary SIM signal is weak
- Had to disable pocket watch because it wasn't properly detecting
Phone: ZP980 C, 16GB
Good work! Looking forward to an update! Best regards!
Couple more things I noticed:
- Signal is weak on the SIM which uses 3G
- During phone call the phone daydreams instead of screen being switched off by proximity sensor
Hi paolo,
I have a very this very annoying problem with this rom. I get the pop up "Unfortunately the Process.com.android.phone Has Stopped."
If i press ok then it would just come back again after around 5 seconds. And it seem that my SIM is not being detected.
My phone is C2/16GB/1GB/B version. I tried flashing both A and B version including the alternatives, but still same problem.
I did clear cache/dalvik cache/factory reset every time i flash. Do you know what the problem is? Thanks.
Hi Shinrei
This error has already been answered. Please read previous posts.
If the problem is resolved in your case report so that other users can solve the problem the same way.
Possible solution:
- First put the phone in flight mode.(to avoid the message)
- Go to -> Settings / Date and Time / Automatic Timezone [disable]
- Reboot
Problem soved.
Another user reports he had also put the disabled automatic time and date but it has not happened in my case. was enough to disable automatic Timezone.
Is an issue probably related with some network operators.
Best regards
The biggest problem in this ROM is the battery that is discharged too quickly. It has a few bugs and lags, but over which you may overlook.
Great work except for connection issues on the second sim and the battery drain. Well done, Paolo. I hope more will come.
Battery drain is really significant. SIM 1 often loses internet connection. All the Rest is very good!
With all new roms you should use a battery relibrater, i have had nearly every rom on my C2 16GB Plat phone and it always improves battery life, just be careful which one you use because some get you to install and there app and then want a payment to carry out the callibration. I use Battery repair pro and althought i paid for it, it has sorted my battery problems out so many times. Try and find a free battery repair first if you can.
What you saw, fix battery problems - activates dormant cells. Here it is a kernel problem. Paolo is not responsible for it. At the moment there is no app that can solve this problem.
However, to keep a bit more battery life, try to uninstall Skype, then go to Settings / Wi-Fi / Advanced and disable Wi-Fi optimization.
If you use SetCPU or other governor, I recommend you uninstall it. You can use the Performance Profile that you download from Xposed Installer. They do much better than SetCPU.
To me, this combination works pretty well and I don't have emotions that run out of battery.
great work! No Doubt!!
I Do Hope to add not only Swedish,Polish,Slovak,Slovenian language but Japanese as well.
i've version 1.0.0 install
and i would like to upgrade to version 1.0.3
do i have to install each intermediary version or can i just install directly the 1.0.3??????
Yes, you can.
