STOCK Rom ZTE Blade C (V807C) - Flashable by SP Flash Tool (280.1MB)

 
Wanted to flash TWRP recovery on my ZTE Blade C (v807c). After looking here n there, I stumbled onto a video by a Russian guy who showed how to do it. I got the idea of it all. And so I proceeded.
Following the video, I got familiar with the process which is as follows:

1. Get the device rooted: using vroot the zte v807c was easily rooted.
2. Then install twrp recovery:
In the video the operator performs following steps:
a. Install the zte usb drivers from ZTE v807\Drivers for ZTE.
b. Install the mtk drivers from ZTE v807\Drivers for SP Flash Tool\USB_serial driver.
c. Next start SP Flash tool.
d. Load scatter file from ZTE v807\Recovery.
e. Select recovery image TWRP.img from v807.
f. Disconnect the phone and switch it off.
g.Click Download button and reconnect the phone to computer USB in switched off state. SP Flash tool should detect MTK Preloader and flash the selected recovery. After that SP Flash tool should display success.

For me, step f was failing with SP Flash tool giving error 8038. This meant that the scatter file we have must not be for my v807c (my phone being for India market). So I looked around on the net for info on how to create a scatter file from own phone.

A few places suggested MTK Droid Tools. So I went ahead and used MTK Droid Tools to create a scatter file.
After it was successfully created, I loaded it in SP Flash tool and followed point f again. And this time it was successfully done.

g. After this I unplugged phone from computer and as shown in video, removed the battery and reinserted it. Later starting the phone with power+Vol Up button shows TWRP logo. So its confirmed that TWRP is successfully installed.

QCalendarWidget CSS Stylesheeting

Recently I had to implement a calendar for a TouchScreen application. I resorted to css to modify the calendar widget's appearance so that it would be more accessible. Following is the code that enabled me to get a proper calendar. calendar->setStyleSheet("QMenu { font-size:20px; width: 300px; left: 20px; }"     "QToolButton {icon-size: 48px, 48px; font: 20px; height: 70px; width: 100px; }"     "QAbstractItemView {selection-background-color: rgb(255, 174, 0);}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator{ width: 50px;}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:pressed,"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:open{ top:10px; left: 10px;}"     "QTableView { font: 30px; }"     "QSpinBox { width: 100px; font: 20px;}"     "QSpinBox::up-button { width:40px;}"     "QSpinBox::down-button { width:40px;}");

Selecting new phone plan

-
I use a Reliance Jio SIM as my one and only cellphone number. I used to have another, but I found little use for that. So I discontinued that other SIM card. It was a Vodafone SIM and I had bought it thinking I would be using it when I visit my hometown. Turns out it's not usable there. So adios. Coming back to Jio, it was working so far so good for a while. And it was quite cheap. Then they increased the fares about 4-5 months ago. And it was costing ~Rs 7 per day. This was for unlimited Jio-Jio calling, ~300minutes free to other telcos, and 1.5GB daily cellular data. Now I got home internet, so I thought to cut costs on this. The current plan goes for INR555 for 84 days. This includes 1.4GB 4G cellular data per day, 300 min calling to other telcos, and jio-jio free. That's Rs 6.6 per day. Now I'm not even using 30minutes calling per day. And due to home internet my cellular usage has gone down. So I decided to go for some other cheaper plan. This one is INR1299 for 336 da...
