GizRom officially launched! Install GizRom MIUI V5 to Zopo ZP990, ZP980, C2 and C3

Some weeks ago our sister site GizChina.itlaunched a poll to decide which version of the new GizRom should be launched for the Zopo ZP980, ZP990, C2 and C3 first. The winner was MIUI V5 and as promised here it is ready to download and install!

The poll, offered the choice of either MIUI V5, a Samsung TouchWiz style ROM or Sony Xperia style ROM for popular Zopo Android phones. The winner was MIUI V5 with a landslide win of 58.6% of all the votes! Since the poll ended, talented Android ROM modder Marsapa has been working hard to bring you the ROM of your choice and here it is ready to download!

The first Rom was made for Zopo ZP990 , Zp980 , C2 and C3 devices. However, MIUI V5 GizRom will be only the first of a long series of ROM made under the GizRom name , a project that will be extended to other phone brands and devices as time goes by.

Here are some screenshots of MIUI V5 ROM installed on Zopo ZP990 C7 Captain S.

View gallery (2)

The Rom is multi-language but doesn’t yet have a complete translate for each language, however it is very straight forward and easy to use!

Here is the modder Marsapa opinion about ROM:

MIUI V5 porting ROM for Zopo ZP990/980/C2 and C3 is based on Android 4.2.2 version 5 ( 3.9.6 ) , Multi-language ( nearly 100% ) .Google Apps can be flashed via recovery.
Once installed during the initial setup, you can select MIUI or AOPS Keyboard.
The 3G works only on SIM no.1.
The ROM supports the use of a flip cover which will activate the lockscreen or unlock the phone as it is opened and closed.
No bugs found to date.

5 . Install the ROM by clicking “install zip from SD card / choose zip from internal SD card” and select the file you downloaded and copied to the phone memory . When you have finished installing select ” Reboot System ” .

I remind you that for the execution of the root and the update of the recovery you can always refer to this guide, but of course using the files suitable for your device !

Very greatfully and thankfully for this ROM. I hope it’s more stable than the original one from ZOPO ZP980. I never really had issues with it but it lacked grunt so I decided to get the GREAT OPPO FIND 5. I wanted to try a Chinese phone and I choose the ZOPO ZP980.
My friend has used it and told me that it was quite unstable when he used it (but better than the Jiayu G4 (GPS is shit)). I decided to start using it and MOD it as a test phone (before I start fine tuning my OPPO also).
So I hope it’s lighter/more stable than the original ZOPO rom, having said that. Is there and original ZOPO Rom in case I want to reverse it (f.e. Sell the phone). Already told my friend to bring it back so Thursday or Friday will be the big moment. TBC

This ROM seems to be working great for me but there is one problem ; it is incompatible with the Xposed Framework. If you are to install the Xposed Framework the phone will not boot until you enter recovery and flashing the Xposed Disabler file. Please fix this, I like this ROM very much and this is the only missing feature

  My 990 has a 7 GB space for programs with this ROM.

Don’t install this rom. Because, The system crashes several times after one week. Also, the launcher uses about 200~300mb from ram. It lags when multiple apps running. The battery drains quickly than stock. The only advantage is you may get some fancy icons

Same like another user (@daneyboy), I installed it, but the screen goes blank. Some very rare times, after punching the screen and the buttons repeteadly, the screen shows that it’s actually running, but after just interacting with it, it goes blank again. This is frustrating. I can’t get into recovery to flash it with another ROM. I feel like a blind man trying to operate my all touchscreen phone. Eroot also doesnt work (because I can’t get to the screen to enable Debug). Please help. Thank you before
- November 13, 2013
  I’ll get on to Mario at GizChina.it (they are the ones developing this ROM) and see what the issue is.

I have installed this ROM and its very nice. I like it very much, but I am facing one problem. When I am playing the real racing 3 game the UI is lagging and the game is very slow. This game used to play smoothly in the original stock rom. It would be great if you could correct this issue.
