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

Hi Paolo, thanks for your great work!
1.0.1 works like a charm – fast and smooth.
mobile network and wifi is weak. How can I strengthen
Paolo, thanks for your efforts in bringing us a kitkat rom. I have been using your rom on my C7 for a couple of days.
I experienced the following:
WIFI connection drops after a few minutes. WIFI reports connection still available, but no data transfer. Resetting WIFI required.
Battery drainage is significant worse than stock rom.
Random reboots.
Otherwise a very smooth rom. Hope you can solve the WIFI issue.
Hi Paolo. Thanks very much for this rom. It's working very well on my 980 2/32GB. I do however, like cengizce, feel like the wifi reception is weak. Hopefully there is some improvement possible within the software.
Keep up the good work.
Hi again! i agree that wifi is a little weak, but the problem i have is that the proximity sensor is dead now, i tried many programs from store nothing, with mobileuncle tools in the engineering mode i can't calibrate it because says that failed all the time! any ideas someone? i have 980 1/16 1.2ghz model A. The rom is great and i like it so much, the only problem i have is with the proximity sensor, the wifi is a little weak but i am ok with it.
Calibration proximity sensor is not possible. not sure why. but so far the best rom
You can add Slovak language?
Hello,
At each time when the screen locks…I can not turn back by any button i.e "power", … except to remove the battery and start it again?
My phone is C3.
This is an excellent Rom and I like it…Can you help me ?
Sorry…I want to post to Paolo
Hi Paolo.
After some few das of using the ROM (and latest correction in 1.0.1)
I’ve noticed that sometimes sinal in SIM 1 goês down. I also have data plan in that sim and also doesn’t work.
When phone is locked it gives a message for that SIM “NULL (DATA CONNECTION AVAILABLE)”
I didn’t noticed this behaviour on 1.0.0
Rebooting doesn’t help
Anything you’ve might changed in the baseband?
I’m using version A of the ROM.
