Hello,

just bought this fantastic phone in China. The question is to know if some non chinese ROM exists in order to use full google applications or is there any possibility to install google applications ?

I can have access to the Recovery but full chinese => Is there any chance to move to english ?

I think this smartphone is fantastic and need a English forum (most of the informations are in chinese) in order to fully use it.

Not really but perhaps I should spend more time to learn chinese ;)
One of my interest would be that a MiUI ROM (English) could be delivered. It seems one already works in chinese...but not official.

I bought this phone too, you can download with your pc the Google Play APK, put on the phone the apk file, and install it with the explorer included into the original rom. With google play, you can dowload all the google application you need.

Ok, thanks for your answer. i'm going to try. I do not need any root or something else ?
It seems that also somebody was able to install MiUI...hopr it will be possible in the near future from MIUI website.

No, no need to be root =)
If you want to root your phone, I can post the method here.
I hope that a MiUI ROM will be available for this phone =)

I'm toying with the idea buying this phone or the Oppo Find 5 when it comes out. Being able to mod the OS for english is my primary concern before purchasing.

I was even thinking of buy the Goophone. It would be awesome just irritate Iphone fanboys. The price for the Goophone is pretty cheap but the specs are a little lacking and not quite sure if the frequencies are right for ATT either.

Rooting Instructions + CWM (Chinese Only though)

Hey guys, I kinda unlocked it already and would like to share the procedure:

0. Download the following files:

driver_2012-01-31.rar - X907 Windows Drivers
anzhi-recovery-x907-cn-mod.7z - Root + CWM
Finder+Root.zip - Superuser/Busybox/etc
***Upload Finder+Root.zip first into your X907***

1. Power off the X907 by pressing the power button for more than 7 seconds (screen blanks off)

2. Go to fastboot mode by holding the upper volume button (+) and plug in any microUSB cable (plugged in to your PC of course). The X907 should stay in the "Find" boot screen. That should signal the fastboot mode and the phone then should be detected by the PC.

3. Use the driver_2012-01-31.rar file above to install drivers under Windows Device Manager

4. Once detected/identified properly, run rootx907.bat from the anzhi-recovery-x907-cn-mod.7z file.

5. Restart into Recovery Mode by first unplugging the microUSB cable then turning the device off (just press the power button for a few seconds until screen turns off) then press volume down (-) and power button together until the device vibrates, then let go of both buttons. Initially the screen should stay blank then it goes into CHINESE CWM

6. Now the confusing part - the CWM I found is only in Chinese so please bear with me. I've attached a photo of the CWM and the English counterpart of the choices. Select the SECOND option by navigating using the volume down (-) button then pressing the power button. Then press the power button again for the FIRST option to select a zip file from your SD card, then locate the Finder+Root.zip file and press the power button again.

7. Go back and restart your device by selecting the FIRST option (as labeled in the photo above).

8. That's it! Hope everything goes well for you as it did with me ;)

Also, I find that the Thai roms are more stable. You can download them at oppothai.com :)

    Hi, guys!

    I've managed to port stock AOSP ROM with Android 4.1.2 from Xiaomi Mi-One.
    I've also integrated touch MIUI recovery found on chineese sites.
    The ROM has JB google apps and English and Russian languge.

    Some bugs:
    Camera does not always open from lockscreen
    Settings app falls down when attempring to access Battery menu.

    Enjoy!:)

    Hello guys, I need your help.
    Two months ago I have experimented with MIUI ROMs for X907, and at the end returned to last stable official version. Recently, new MIU build is up, so I decided to try it out. However, it appears that when I flashed official version it also fleshed recovery. OK, no problem I will just flash some CWM recovery and flash new MIUI, but here is the problem, I can't flash custom recovery. I tried every one from this thread, and all of them report successful flashing, but I am still stuck with official one.
    I did all the regular stuff, drivers are up, phone is in flash mode, adb is recognising phone, recovery image is transferring, I have OK message on the end but, recovery stays official. Can you help me with this?

    Hi, try to get a different rom.zip from different a source. Copy it to your sd card and use the existing recoveryto install it. If you are lucky you can now flash cmw. There are several roms that did not let me flash recovery. I use this method to get my nandroid backups back.
    If you want to stay with your rom, sometimes it works if you flash and immediately / really immediately after the pc is done, press the volume- key on your oppo. The device boots into new recovery. But once you reboot your old recovery will return. But that way you can use cmw recovery at least if you use your pc every time you need cmw.
    Best regards
