I'm about to buy this phone but I need some info and I hope you guys can answer my doubts:

1) Is the mobile running UMTS on SIM 1 also with the custom ROM ?
2) The GPS is built in ?
3) How long does the battery last ... avarage ...
4) Is it easy to manage call from SIM 1 and SIM 2 ?

Thanks for your patience :)

I hope this can clarify your doubts:

1) Yes, the custom ROM doesn't break any functionality that is available when using the stock ROM
2) Yes, GPS is built-in. The phone includes MT6620 chip, a 4-in-1 chip that integrates WLAN, BT, GPS and FM
3) About 2 days, with moderate usage
4) Yes, very easy. Just have a look at some of my reviews, like this one

hello Bunta,
I think you alone can help me. I had a problem with an H7300. Before it didn't open and I saw the logo alone. I asked for the where I bought it and they sent me the original software+update.zip. I tried with FlashTool to repair it, but now the phone is completely dark...It doesn't open... Please can you help me??? It's urgent!!!

I have tried to share my 3G to other devices via tethering (HD7).

However, it is funny that some Android devices, basically in Android 2.3.x, cannot detect the SSID shared.

It seems that Android can only see non-adhoc wireless network but can't see adhoc wireless network ... but it can create adhoc wifi hotspot !

With my iMac and Mac OS X, I can create internet share between ethernet network and airport. But in that case, Mac OS X creates a non-adhoc connection and my android can see it. If I use the airport menu to create a wireless network, it creates a adhoc connection that my android can't see.

You must have an adhoc enabler application to connect your android phone to an adhoc wireless network.

No, you don't need to format your sdcard.


You can revert to a previous backup, that is if you do the backup. Once you flash my custom recovery, you can do a nandroid backup.

Well, you are probably missing the file (recovery.img), which you must download from my 4shared folder (read here).

Hello people.
Is there anyone whow has a user pdf manual of the H7300 ?

I'm very much interested in the dual sim management:

- Is there a possibility to decide the SMS are all sent from SIM 2 as preferred ?
- Does the device provide two contacts folders one for SIM 1 and 1 for SIM 2 ?

I would like to use this mobile for business on SIM 2 TIM (Italy) and for Free time on SIM 1 Vodafone (Italy). This because the SIM 2 does is not allowed for data.

The idea is to have the SIM 2 used for all call (more convenient) and SIM 1 only to receive calls and for UMTS 3G internet connection.

Thanks to who can help.

Some pic of the SIM management menu will help :)

Hi miazza.

The SIMs management is not really related to the phone, but more to the Android platform. I've 2 chinese phones on Android 2.3 with this capability and features are the sames.

So I don't know for the H7300, but for me, yes, you can choose the default 'role(s)' of each sim and it is very easy.

Each sim is represented by an icon/color, so when you send SMS, or call, you can verify that you use the right SIM.

These settings can be found in "Parameters > SIM Management".

I don't have 2 SIMs on me to show you, so screenshots will not be representative, here is an example anyway:

Thanks very much. This is exactly what I was looking for and it is really great :).

Yes I sow your previous answer but I needed to see the android SIM management menu...:)


No I have another Question:

I have seen on the web a new mobile that is a clone of the Galaxy SII.
It is HDC A9100 with the following characteristics:

Dual Core
CPU: MT6573 ARM11 650MHz + MT6162 ARM9 400MHz
GPU: PowerVR SGX 531

Can I assume that this device is compatible with your roms ?

thanks miazza

    Hi there

    I have been reading these forums for some time and have finally created my own cooked ROM for these MT6573 / MTK6573 based Chinese Androids that I wanted to share since there doesn't seem to be any here.

    This ROM was created from a stock system ROM off a Hero H7300 which I believe should work on all HD7 or T9299 clones.
    The ID for the base ROM is 10HX2P.H7300.111125.AD2_3_4_V1.WVGAC_EN.COM_V01_3G.
    I don't like to customise things too much (since everyone has their own preferences) so I have just done most of the basics.

    NOTE: Only ROMs v1 through v4 are based on the above 2.3.4 ROM.
    v5 is based off a newer 2.3.5 ROM provided and modified by Bruno Martin.

    Here is a list of what I have done to this ROM:

    GPS Region Change
    If you are in a different region (most probably are :p) you can go to this thread to download a gps.conf for your area:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630
    Dowload the file you need and then replace it under /system/etc/gps.conf
    Having the correct file here makes a huge improvement in the speed of GPS fixes.

    ROM v9 Camera Button Fix
    In ROM v9 I fixed the camera button to open to camera instead of the phone interface.... Or so I thought.
    Unfortunately I missed a file that was overriding the change.
    To set the camera button back to camera functionality perform the following steps.
    Right click the following link and choose Save As to save it to your computer:
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37057/Camera/mt6573-kpd.kl
    You can either copy this on to your phone and into the folder /system/usr/keylayout by using root explorer and setting the permissions correctly or use the following adb commands to copy it in via USB:
    Code: 
    adb root
adb remount
adb shell cp /system/usr/keylayout/mt6573-kpd.kl /system/usr/keylayout/mt6573-kpd.bak
adb push mt6573-kpd.kl /system/usr/keylayout/mt6573-kpd.kl
    You then need to restart your phone for the change to take affect.
    Be aware that the camera functionality is activated by a long press of the camera button.

    Reversed BACK and MENU buttons
    If you have a phone where the BACK and MENU buttons operate around the wrong way then follow these instructions to switch them around.
    Right click the following link and choose Save As to save it to your computer:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37057/qwerty.kl
    You can either copy this on to your phone and into the folder /system/usr/keylayout by using root explorer and setting the permissions correctly or use the following adb commands to copy it in via USB:
    Code: 
    adb root
adb remount
adb shell cp /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.bak
adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
    You then need to restart your phone for the change to take affect.

    Go Launcher and Go Locker
    I have installed these two apps since they are my favourite ones and are very customisable and skinnable.
    They are installed on the data folder so feel free to replace them with your own preferred launcher/locker.
    Just remember not to move the launcher or locker themes to your SD card as they may not work properly after reboot. (especially locker themes)

    Build.prop Settings
    Currently these are the custom settings I have added to the build.prop
    Feel free to alter these yourself to how you prefer by editing /system/build.prop file.
    Code: 
    # fix some app problems
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
#enable hardware acceleration
debug.sf.hw=1
#increase dalvik cache
dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m

    Hero H7300 (HD7/T9299) Cooked ROM by Bunta v9


    Installation Guide

    DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER WITH THESE PHONES AS IT IS INCOMPATIBLE

    1) Download my ROM rename it to update.zip and copy it on to your sdcard under /mnt/sdcard/update.zip

    2) Next you will need to install a custom recovery partition to be able to install custom ROMs.
    Bruno Martins has provided an excellent guide for flashing these phones which you can follow here:
    http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/10/mt65x3-flashing-tutorial.html
    He also has his own Custom Recovery Image and ROMs he has developed with custom frameworks you can download from here:
    http://www.eten-users.eu/index.php?/topic/21447-hd7-mt6573-support-thread/
    Download the recovery image and then follow his flashing tutorial to install that to your phone.

    3) Once you have the recovery image installed reboot your phone into recovery mode by holding down the volume up + power key to turn the phone on.
    This will then boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.

    4) First thing you want to do here is to go into backup and restore and create a backup of your phone that you can restore back to if you don't like my ROM.

    5) Once you have a backup you can follow this guide to install the custom ROM.

    6) After you install the ROM and restart your phone don't be scared if it sits on a black screen or the boot animation for some time as it's just rebuilding the dalvik cache.
    This should take about 5-10 mins on first boot.
    (I got nervous my ROM didn't work the first time I booted it :p)

    7) [optional] Update your gps.conf for your local region using the instructions above.

    8) [optional] If using ROM v6 or later you can increase your internal memory size by moving the data partition to an ext2 partition on your memory card. This can be done by following these instructions.

    so far it's been working pretty good on my phone and i'm very happy with it.
    3g data, wifi and gps are all working perfectly for me (much better than my last phone).
    Please feel free to test it out and let me know how it goes.

    I have just published this tutorial: Creating ROM dump of your MT65x3 device.

    As soon as you have a backup of your boot.img let me know and I can help you to modify it.
