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
perfect here, with new baseband. zopoC2 B version but A installed.
a little more drain, but maybe because more fast browsing…
HELP! No gsm signal on both sim after installing the new baseband! Now i have to found some older baseband single file and flash it solo because flashing an other rom -even stockrom- does`nt help right?
That`s very bad and very dangerous now for me cause flashing wrong baseband file could really brick the phone! I MEAN REALLY; REALLY! After that no mtk-droid, sp-flash… nothing reanimate your phone…
just reflash the rom without select the new baseband
I really appreciate what you've done. paolothlw8
Thanks a lot.
At last I can use the Great KitKat ROM with my native lanuage Japanese.
Everything is smooth and well.
My C2 B 16GB is now Reborn!!
Why don't you put the tags also for 980 & 990?
It's only listed here under C2, C3 & C7, not under 980 and 990
Thank’s for ROM! All right. But I’ve got one problem. While I rotate phone, display rotate in other side. For example: I rotate phone on 90 degrees left, all on the display rotate on 90 degrees right. Can u help me?
The answer is on the top of this page, just below changelog:
So, whichever kernel variant you installed, install the other variant. The issue you have only seems to affect C2/980 phones..
Hi all.
Does anyone else get two annoying beeps when receiving a text? I have even set sound notifications to "None", and I still get those beeps for texts.
The same for phone calls. I have set a specific ringtone, and when I received a call, it uses a ringtone that sounds like an alarm.
Anyone else have this issue?
Nevermind.
It was a sound regulation app that was conflicting with the system sounds. Solved it myself. Not an issue with this ROM!!
is it contains Russian language?
Thank’s a lot!
Thanks paolothlw8, ROM runs fine so far. Much better then the stock. Have 1.0.3 at the moment. A few strange things I could fine are the Youtube App playing video/audio, after few seconds the video freezes and the audio continues. Did a google search and maybe its a bug in 4.4.2 Tried disabling the hardware overlay in the developer settings. No luck sofar.
Sometimes the backlight level steps are a little choppy.
Excellent rom!
Everything works smoothly on my zopo C2 1g/4g.
Even WiFi, no matter how weak the icon in status bar looks, works almost as before KK.
I 'm sure Paolo will solve every problem with his updates.
Congrats my friend!
