Hey everyone!
I ported the latest Firefox OS 2.1 build to ZTE Open (1st gen)
This build also includes my updates (modUI) for the homescreen and browser which are listed below.
This build runs a lot smoother than previous updates that I tried.
You should be able to update if you have FFOS v1.1 (or older) installed and have fastboot available, but make sure you back up your device anyway!
This build is also available for ZTE Open C - FFOS for zte open c
My updates to the build
- Made stock icons more consistent, changed the layout a bit.
- Removed background from the search bar on the top of the screen (I think it is ugly).
- Applied the font fix to get Fira Sans back
- Made the address bar appear when you start scrolling to the top - no more scrolling to the very top of the page to access it!
- Added "Duck Duck Go" to the search engines (you can change them in browser settings)
- Added Google suggestions to the browser address bar 'as-you-type'
[UPDATE]
I updated the build, technically its not 2.1 anymore, mozilla moved to 2.2
Here is a list of the changes I made to this build:
- Added a button to lock orientation to the swipe screen
- Changed layout of the swipe screen a bit
- Long tap on shift for capslock
- Added a button to close all applications in the task manager
- Other small updates to styling
(Also added French keyboard)
Mozilla added copy - paste for text fields! also available in this build (probably not stable yet)
This build also includes many updates from mozilla such as the new browser they're building (browser2 on homescreen)
Keyboards in this build
English
Spanish
German
French
Russian (cyrillic)
Download
ZTE-Open-21-modUI.zip on Google Drive (Updated 09.09.2014)
Installation instruction
Make sure to backup your data!
You'll also need adb and fastboot installed.
Download zip and extract to local machine
Open the extracted folder in console and type:
1) adb devices #(should list your device)
2) adb reboot bootloader
3) fastboot erase cache #(if this just reboots your device - try again from step 2)
4) fastboot erase system
5) fastboot erase userdata
6) fastboot flash cache ramdisk.img
7) fastboot flash system system.img
8) fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
9) fastboot flash boot boot.img
10) fastboot reboot
Your phone should reboot at this point (usually takes 1-2minutes) and you can enjoy latest 2.1
GitHub
I also decided to ublish my branch on github: https://github.com/YemSalat/gaia-modui feel free to fork and contribute or port to other phones.
I am currently learning Gaia architecture as I'm making changes, so some of them are a bit 'hacky', but I try to follow the conventions and prefix my stuff (css/functions/etc.) with 'modui'
Let me know what you think!

Have you gotten around the broken GPS and non-working home light issues I noted in my builds thread?

The GPS is working, but the home light isn't.
I used the boot image from linr76 (big thanks to him by the way!) and only updated gecko and gaia.

Interesting, using your boot.img and my ramdisk.img/system.img/userdata.img files yields my GPS not working, same as always.

US, phone flashed with ZTE_US update to v1.1 from v1.0. Used your boot.img and my ramdisk/userdata/system img, yielded stably working, but no GPS as always.

Support?
Big Thanks!
Question 1: Are you planning to keep this ROM update with patches and some enhancements in the Future?
Question 2: Any fix for Proximity sensor during on-going Call?
Thanks again!

I updated the build.
- I changed the GPS server in the config - will hopefully work for you now if it didn't before.
- Merged mozilla's updates from yesterday.
I'll release the same build for Open C later today as well.

Sorry, my previous comment was probably a bit misleading.
I don't think the boot.img has anything to do with the GPS, its mostly the settings inside system.img.
I just updated the build and added US servers for GPS, also changed the main geolocation provider to Nokias.
Could you please flash my build and test it again? Also, make sure you test outdoors, and also download the app called 'gps callibration' from marketplace and see if it can get your lat/long.

Yes, I'm planning to keep it updated, every week hopefully (btw, just uploaded a new update, nothing new - mostly bug fixes) Plus I also have a list of things that I want to improve myself, let me know if you have any suggestions as well.
I haven't looked into the proximity sensor, but I'll be checking if it does get fixed in later updates.

Hm, never happened to me, I regularly type in a foreign language. Are you sure you're not accidentally pressing the key to the left of 'space' ? When you add a foreign keyboard the comma that is usually there gets replaced by the 'change language' key.

So I'm going to wait until there's some rom for the open 2?
It's not that bad, I bought it a week ago, when the Firefox OS phones arrived to my country, and I was curious about it. I having some trouble with the brightness (I set it at the lowest, then I turn the screen off and when I turn back on it resets the brightness to the highest) but the performance is good.

you can always try and build your own ROM, it's not that hard. look up on the Mozilla developer network on how to set up a build environment and the relevant info for the Open 2.
the Open C is much better supported, as you can see here, but in general the ZTE devices seem to have a very short lifetime, as ZTE doesn't give a damn about supporting them. thats als why i stopped working on FFOS, since there is really no reliable device with future updates (except maybe the Flame which is simply way too expensive for what you get)

A small update - I am merging and testing new releases of the 2.1 branch every other day and it seems to become really nice to use.
However mozilla removed the default browser from the build and only kept the new one, I think I will keep it in my build until the new one becomes more usable (tabs!)
As I said in the other topic I have made a few more updates myself:
- added orientation lock to swipe panel
- changed the layout of swipe panel a bit
- restored default browser
Currently testing:
- long tap on shift for capslock
Will release soon, once its a bit more polished.
I also want to release my branch on Github so other people can contribute as well, I'll do that once I clean it up a bit.

Yeah it was annoying, luckily this has been addressed by mozilla and this issue is fixed in the new build.

As linr76 pointed out it will probably fail due to different hardware on the devices.
I mean you can always try, but I bear no responsibility if you brick it. Plus you'll need to jailbreak it first and I'm not sure if there are any 'official' ways for open 2.

I doubt we'll ever see another update for the C from ZTE
And thanks again for your work, at least we'll now have future releases of gaia 2.x guaranteed to work on the open (hopefully)
I was wondering could you by any chance decibe the process of adapting the boot image? What are the main issues with it?

What device do you own?

Id like this thread to assist in identifying individual Android Powered Head Units. It would be helpful if you can add what device you own in a similar fashion to below. I believe it may assist in the 'Can I install this on my device?' posts.
My unit is:
Eonon G2110F (http://www.eonon.com/Android-Car-GPS/2-Din-GPS-Navigation/G2110F.html)
MTCB - KLD2 - RK3188 - 800x480 - 4.4.4
I have updated to MTCC-KLD6-2.96-5.1.1, it can be updated using ROMS from the MTCB thread.
Please post something similar of your devices.

good idea
My unit is:
Joying - JY-JL001 - https://www.amazon.com/Challenger-W...F8&qid=1475161690&sr=8-1&keywords=jeep+joying
MTCD - RK3188 - 800x480 - 5.1.1
I updated to Malaysk V4 for MTCD, but have since gone back to the mid-August Joying update

Thanks mate,
this doesnt really work if no one posts their unit details.

Hello my friend
Im not sure if I can help, but Ive found in my computer the backup of native 4.4.4 firmware of my HU made before the italian seller sent me firmware update : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75612912&postcount=137
As you know Ive made a post also on 4PDA : http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=792456&view=findpost&p=71019608

If you don't have a way to get MCU firmware from those firmwares let me know if I can downgrade my HU to 4.4.4 and then get backup of MCU and link here
Maybe this will be the right time to find manufacture of this "fake audiosources HWID 22" wich is 34 as you know and as you see:
Just to let you know, Ive sent emails and messaged with all audiosources online support and nobody told me answers about this MCU

This is not "fake"!
22 in hexadecimal is equal to 34 in decimal
I'll look at the links that you gave.

Oh ok sorry
Maybe Ive made wrong translation from 4PDA where people talk about that HW ID
Thanks a lot :good:

Updating the android and updating the mcu are two different processes.
I looked at the links that you gave. They do not contain the firmware that you had (5.3.16-22-B0-E50201-150818)
I have a question. Where did you get the firmware 5.3.17-22-12-E50201-150926? Can you give it?

Do not look for the firmware, just choose a model VW OBD(RZC)(5.3.17, CONFIG, RDS, Color, BC6, NODVD, TDA7719, TEF662x) in Extra settings-Model choose
After the choice, do not touch anything in the car, absolutely nothing until the HU does reboot!

About MCU if there's some specific firmware do install could you link me it ? Maybe it will replace also MCU

As far as I know, if you have a cab bus decoder, then the information about the button press comes from the can bus through the decoder. Then the main role is played by the firmware MCU, which now does not correspond to the model of auto.

Hello. I come from this thread:

Hi try with this software from JUNSUN it helped my device, we have simialr ones.
Download firmware from comment area in video and update device.

Then , when updated , go to factory menu with pin code 8888 and adjust settings for device (RADIO MENU , OTHER, DISPLAY and TOUCH STUDY/CANBUS - these two menus - if you must make steering wheel command s to work.).
FOR RADIO MENU :
- if radio.app is stalling or freezes - set OSCILACION to 9,20, FM and AM sense to 21-27, RDS ON, IC TYPE is your chip of radio (do not change that as these if wrong will freeze radio and commands), SORT is RADIO FREQ
- if radio freezes after bootup and wont response at all - try this app :
(just download file and transfer to device, then get in APK installer and install radio from this apk file)

I have this version: 8227L_8鑫瑞畅UI01-国外11_v4_20210705 with that UI that I say I want. But that version of soft on my radio model is very, very slow. it works much better with this one: 8227L_CHS_UI04-10_v3_20191207 . Do you know of a way to extract the UI from the first one and add it to another?

There is no need to extract anything, firmware is somewhere on this forum or somewhere on clouds services , we just have to find it on net.

Look there for upgrades : https://disk.yandex.ru/d/umCvHqCDzHccr/RockChip PX5 Android 8.0/XRC
From and by this pic inaside this folder your device has maybe XRC not CHS type of firmware, now just we can try to find software that matches UI4 dated year 2019 or early 2020 on the net.
But... I'm not sure wheter your device is PX5 chipset and what android version it has... (according to this picture inside - nb. 1 - UI is similar or that one that you pasted here)

Just take a brief video of your device info (about device in infotainment section), just to se what kind of system it is, for chip info we will google it.

OSSURET Android 11 Head Unit( BMW X5 E53). Find FirmWare

Hello all!
Bought the device on Aliexpress, Chinese firm OSSURET. ( https://aliexpress.ru/item/40012012...007.778871469.1666007501-279692570.1616349752 )
8Core 4GB Ram 64gb ROM
assembly number : full_825X_Pro-Octa 11 PPR1.180610.011 eng.root.2020426.093427 test-keys
Model Number : AD8XBMWE53T001
It looked nice and worked, until the sim card was installed, after installing the device began to reboot by itself.
Also noticed that the processor heated up to 80-90 degrees Celsius.
And the displacement of the notification item.

After talking to the seller I received from him the firmware, but with the wrong screen resolution (1280x480) and not very nice interface for me, the elements and the font have become very large, that in some applications buttons are not placed.

I rolled back to the firmware 1280x480 to somehow use the device.
Looking for your help in firmware for the radio, can someone already experienced and got the correct and working firmware?
I tried to change the screen resolution in build.prop (but there are only two lines which are responsible for Car Play - Video Resolution)
The seller said that the latest firmware 8259P_宝马UI02v1920x720-国外11_v6_20210607 ie 2021, but I received it with firmware 2022, as I do not understand

Thank you, I searched for information both here and on google, but did not find a solution. The seller is not very contactable and I think he reads my messages every once in a while and is not very cooperative after I cancelled the dispute.

Fits OSSURET 825X_pro 10.25 diagonal

Hello, I have the same car radio, however, with all the firmware I tested, I can no longer find the steering wheel controls as originally, some things do not work with everything, do you have the same problem with this firmware, thanks in advance

Steering wheel control does not depend on the firmware, there are important Can-recorder and the type of CAN which is selected in the Engineer Menu (password to enter 8788)

You are sure 8788
Is not 8878 ??

Oh, yeah,miss click and there the Can section, I have 274 selected

I tried all the BMW cans found in the engineer menu and the sound works the phone and the rest does not work before I could activate the air conditioning by the steering wheel and with the change of car radio it does not work

Doesn't the menu of the multi steering wheel button settings work either?
Does it show opening/closing of the doors? (I have an unsupported Can-type and the opening/closing of the doors is not fixed)
What version of the software is on now?
What model of Can-decoder is it?

After I send picture

I have 274

How did you force the update? I saved both files in a 8GB USB flash drive, formatted in FAT32. The unit recognizes that a USB has been connected (ES File Explorer pops up) but it doesn't begin the update process.

Hi! Used flash drives with different capacities 4 and 8, also unpacked the archive to a flash drive in Fat32 (so that all the firmware files are in the root)
with the turned off boombox connect the flash drive (Required to be included OEM Launcher, not a third-party)
After powering on your boombox, it will ask you if you want to update the firmware or not. 5 seconds are given to answer the question.
Send a screenshot of the data on the flash drive

Ok, it was a matter of finding a compatible USB drive. I don't know why, some drives work, some others don't.
My unit uses that same ROM, but it's a 5 series F11. Even if some diagnosis apps tell it's an octa-core with 6GB RAM, it feels so much slower than a phone with similar capacity. PlayStore apps take ages to install, Google Maps needs like a minute until it's responsive. And every time the car is turn off for more than 5 minutes, the HU has to boot from zero, so it's a long wait until it can be used.
Until now, the seller has been unable to improve this situation. They sent me this same ROM (8259P_宝马UI02v1920x720-国外_v68_20221009.zip) but I don't feel any improvement.

Hello
If somebody interested I received this update not tested by me in the moment also posting pic of my actual version in the unit and UI
