Hmmm, I've had a hunch about compatibility between ClockworkMod Recovery versions. I notice that some of my backups are gone some time as well, but I haven't quite put my finger on it. Thanks for the notes, it helps. It looks like we'll have to warn users to upgrade CWM first, then backup/nandroid, then flash.

I'll keep my eye on this...

I did the wipe data, and still does not work the video camera, I had to re-clean and install CyanogenMod only, and does not work the video camera when I install "Gingerman V7" working properly the video camera, but when installed above the CM7 does not work the video camera, this does not happen only to me if not all users share the ROM that this means that your CM7 does not work the video camera?

or do I have to put another Gingerman?

thank you for the help.

Before installing the rom wipe data, cache and dalvik cache in clockworkmod recovery. This might solve your problem. If not. Download another camera app from market and check if it works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Morexcuses:
had already made ​​clear the cache and the data but did not work, the solution I found was to extract the rar apk from "Gingerman v7" "camera.apk" and uninstall the application chamber of the "CM7" the application "root uninstaller "and install the apk of the" Gingerman v7 "of the camera so it worked perfect the video camera.

Light sensor still doesn't appear to work properly

I recently compiled the source myself on Debian x64 system.

Anyways as of 3rd December, the light sensor still doesn't work correctly,

On tidals 22/10/2011 release the light sensor worked correctly with both the soft button backlights and automatic brightness settings

but now it seems that the automatic brightness setting has disappeared and the soft button backlight only lights up when a soft button is touched..

I have downloaded an application off the market to test the light sensor and it appears that the light sensor is still there and working... it's just not being used/detected by the android display settings

I had a look at the source but I can't really make much of it... and googling came up with no solutions (People have had light sensor problems but their automatic brightness checkbox never disappeared so it's not the same situation).

It's not a hardware problem as I have reverted back to the older tidals release and the light sensor works again.

Is anyone else experiencing this? (I have the U8150D)

Does anyone have a solution or even a workaround that gets the light sensor working until the next reboot?

Thanks,
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wbrambley:
No but I put a brightness control widget on the desktop as a work around. The one I picked had auto setting too but that seemed to do nothing.

Hey HELPFUL people out there help me to install "clockworkmod recovery 5"

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kiwijunglist:
my experience installing CWM from stock ROM

Installed ROM manager from market

Clicked Flash CWM Recovery -> Reboot

This wouldn't work

Eventually I tried the other option I forget what it was but it was either

(a) check for ROM Updates or

(b) Flash alternate recovery or

(c) All CWM Recoveries -> flash

and one of the above finally enabled me to install a working version of CWM Recovery.

EDIT: This was for CWM 3.0.2.4 I see you want CWM 5.X I can't help you sorry.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeremy4465:
did you rename the download to "recovery" or recovery.img?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LawBayly:
Thanks for looking into the issue and proving that it isn't just me experiencing this issue...

I did also try an app to change the brightness and yes it seems to register as the brightness on automatic (with the stock power control widget) but yes it has no effect, so much so that the stock brightness power control seems to just register automatic even when you change the brightness... weird...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] f1ng3r:
Are you rooted?

If yes, then download the file flash_image.zip and unzip it.

Put it on your sdcard and using RootExplorer(or something else) put it on the folder /bin (Or you can do this transfer simply via adb shell commands but i am not sure if adb is working well for you).

After that download a recovery for the Ideos8150(one of your choice). Take the file that end with .img(named for example recovery blabla) and put it on your sdcard.

Open terminal.

Enter: su

Enter: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recoveryblabla.img

This method has allways worked for me and i can change my recovery/Rooms even when i am on train/pullman without my PC ;)

try install rom manager from market then flash clockworkmod recovery although you wont get clockworkmod 5 only 3.0.2.4
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] King_Rat:
:mmm: I'm after some clarification here as I can't get into bootloader with CM7 ^^

I already have **flash_image** file in **/system/bin** (b/c I have 5.0.2.7 CWM already installed I'm guessing)

Now, can I have multiple **recovery.img** files on sdcard & they can be named differently... for e.g. **recovery5203.img** etc. & I can flash any of them via terminal emulator using the above commands??

TIA
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trekker99:
Oh so that was what the OP was saying. Looks like your chinese is better than mine.

It sounds like he had to take take it from the U8100 module to get it to work. Or maybe he preferred the UI?

I am starting to think the chinese ROMs never really fixed the audio problem? The previous one was supposed to have working audio...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] s14sh3r:
I am experiencing the same. The HW backlight worked on CM6, but they only stay on a second or two since I flashed to the latest nightly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
You know, I am wondering about that too. I tested it, but not very well (like I said, it was late at night and my girlfriend was sleeping). I'll flash it again soon and try before it's too late at night :)

In other news, I'm going to post a new nightly tonight. Nothing new, but sync'd with upstream CM source and I'm experimenting with cleaning up the device tree. tilal had switched to using local versions of a few libs (liblights, libaudio, libril, libcopybit, etc), and I think it might be unnecessary to use local versions (CM provides them, actually). Also, I switched to psyke's U8160 audio as it's newer and includes few battery and other tweaks from CodeAurora.

Hang tight... I already uploaded it but I will have to wait until I have time to write proper flashing instructions before I post a link. Wouldn't wanna burn any n00bs. ;)

Help Again . . .

Thanks guys, I have now installed Clockworkmod Recovery 5.0.2.7 and finally I finally flashed update-cm-7.2.0-22112011-NIGHTLY-U8150-signed to my Huawei U8150 IDEOS-B but I have some few problems . . .

:confused:---I can't connect to any wifi (open and secure)

:confused:---sim tool kit still not working

:confused:---After I installed CMR v5.0.2.7 and Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly, I used nandroid restore and found that I dont have backup (when I cheked my SD, I saw the Nandroid folder and has backup on it) so Im now installing "bla-bla" application and customizing again my IDEOS. . . and I recover another problem . . .

:confused:---I cannot connect to PC using my Hi Suite(I used this to install new apps from PC)

When Im connecting my USB cable to my PC a new window opens and having message "welcome to found new hardware wizard and when I click "next" it says "cannot install the appropriate software for your mobile":eek::eek::eek:

Please help me guys . . .

Please

Please

(Sorry for the wrong grammar co'z I'm a Filipino and not so fluent...):D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] I am Bored:
I believe CMR looks for its backups in the clockworkmod/backup folder and not the nandroid folder so ull have to move ur back from the nandroid folder to the one i mentioned and then it should work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeremy4465:
its the USB Tether bug I'm guessing but to fix the issue find USB tethering turn it on and off and see if that has fixed the USB issue

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] djjoza:
i also tryed hisuite with cyanogenmod nightly and it didn't work for me either, cause the rom is not accepting the hisuite.apk to install. i think that maybe it's a rom issue. anyway, i gave up on hisuite cause i don't really need it having wifi.

anyway, i wanted to ask one more time if anyone has an idea how to fix/bypass the non-blinking notification led?? i know it's not a big issue to anyone, and i really hate trolling about it... but i'm only asking for someone's opinion on this issue, any of the devs or anyone..please help out if you can :)

thanks, i appreciate it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
December 5th nightly (CyanogenMod 7.2)

Here's a new nightly, up to date with latest upstream CyanogenMod sources as of

December 5, 2011

. Also, I'm testing new libs in this build and I'd appreciate feedback. n00bs need not apply.

What's new/fixed:

Mounting the SD card over USB

Overclocking

Barcode Scanner works (using tilal's fix, of course)

ROM Manager 4.8.0.6

Kernel Supports ext3/ext4 (should fix link2sd problems)

I bet nobody read this, and will ask a million times if it supports overclocking... :)

What's not fixed:

Camera still takes 2 megapixel pictures. This appears to be the maximum the U8150 camera hardware supports, information about the U8150's camera sensor. I can't explain why the stock firmware takes 3mp pictures, but it appears they're upscaling them, not taking "true" 3mp.

Audio is still distorted when it is very loud.

How to flash*:

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7 (instructions). UltraJack won't work.

Do a nandroid backup from ClockworkMod Recovery

Wipe data/factory reset

Flash update from sdcard

Full reboot!

Flash Google Apps from ClockworkMod Recovery (optional)

Download ROM: update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-U8150-KANG-signed-dec5.zip (md5sum: 245615517569263c37364b0460425e6d)

ClockworkMod Recovery: clockworkmod_5.0.2.7_u8150.img (md5sum: c59673d5aa926d94227857e51fbe9e2c)

Google Apps: gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip (md5sum: 1647897d8ac3efb04723d2ad2c361a3f)

*failure to follow instructions has been shown to result in baldness in both men AND women. Flash at your own risk. It is your own responsibility to backup your applications, settings, phone numbers, etc.

Feedback:

Beta testers should look out (and provide feedback) for:

I switched to CyanogenMod's libril, liblights, libcopybit rather than using local versions in our device tree. The reasoning was that if the local ones work as well as the CM ones, there is no need to complicate our device tree just because "it works." CyanogenMod's maintainers maintain/update the CM hardware libs, so we'll let them do it.

Audio. I switched to psyke83's libaudio. We are already using a local libaudio override in our device tree, but right now we're using one from tas0s U8120 build. From speaking to psyke I learned that his code is newer, and contains fixes from the CodeAurora Forum. We had tried his code before but it didn't compile because of an error in the FM-related ifdef logic. We fixed the compile bug last night and the audio seems to work no less better than the U8120 audio.

Have fun!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeremy4465:
Remember to do a full wipe or the issue might carry across
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Amaterasu.25:
even factory reset???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smashman42:
so, if I've just done a repo sync & running brunch as per the guide on your blog right now, it'll be missing most of those fixes cause you're adding them from other sources than the mainlined CM one, yeah? (tilal's barcode fix that you said earlier in the thread would affect the whole CM tree so isn't added, psyke83's audio fix, etc - I assume they are on different people's github repos not the main CM one?)

I'll be happy if it boots, just spat out my first home built update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-U8150-KANG-signed.zip, w00t!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeremy4465:
if its the wipe data/factory reset in the recovery menu then yes that

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
Congratulations, dude. I saw your comment on my blog but didn't have time to respond yet. It seems you sorted yourself out. ;) Yes, the fixes are on my local repo only. How good are you with git? I could push them to a test branch for you... :)

Also, sometimes there are a few changes that aren't in the CM repo yet, as they haven't been merged (like right now there's one I submitted with a new kernel that supports ext3/4). Sign up on CM's Gerrit Code Review system and keep an eye on the U8150 project: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:open+project:CyanogenMod/android_device_huawei_u8150,n,z

Yes, I also took a picture in both stock and CM7 last night... it does appear that the 3mp image is lower quality. I'm not very familiar with image processing, but I'm pretty sure any time you make "more from less" you are going to lose quality. Or...?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nook'r:
I tried the 05dec2011 built and it seem the most stable rom since 20110921 built by you. everything is working great, you outdone yourself again, Thanks aorth.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
I kinda forgot about this actually... I just noticed that psyke has it turned on still in U8160. I wonder how we could measure.

I just recompiled a test build here with it re-enabled... but personally I never noticed it "working" anyways. I check "Auto brightness" and walk around in the light and in the dark I can never tell a difference.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trekker99:
Well not necessarily, it really depends on how the upscaling is done. You definitely will not get more detail, but good upscaling algorithms helps to minimise the typical pixelation you get when you zoom into an image. I doubt the upscaling is done in hardware on the 8150, so it would be some software implementation which I doubt is a good one given the anemic processor in the phone.

You can see upscaling algorithms in action in dvd players which claim to play DVDs at HD resolution and even on your computer when you click full screen on most videos.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] e8hffff:
Many thanks men. tilal and alan.

I was stupid to say scrape this, as it's near 100%. Why I said what I said was that I thought if you were going to keep having problems then maybe it would have been better to jump to latest code and fix that.

What's not working in this release?

* sound is working fantastic. No distortion in head phones even at 100% volume.

* UI is fast and smooth.

* Camera is working fast. No lag.

In the previous tilal's nightly I hadn't these problems.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PaulMilbank:
Hey everyone, I'm sure it is more complicated than this, but Huawei have just updated the u8800 to a new 2.6.35 (gingerbread) kernel and it looks to me like it has very similar files/code/modules in it to our kernel.

I am trying to compile a kernel from it just to see what happens. Maybe this is totally in the wrong direction and unhelpful, but maybe it will help our cause. This source code seems to me to have a lot of different options in it for many different builds and what you put in to the config determines what comes out for the kernel.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smashman42:
if the old backups won't restore on the new version, nothing stops you from flashing back to the 3.x version to restore them, there is always booting an old version with fastboot/bootloader
