Thanks. It works..

Can I ask what change do you make? I can not find the point in your github.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

Hi,

I try to make nightly with your ( alanorth / android_device_huawei_u8150 ) today's github and Poland stock.

I got update-cm-nightly-signed.zip, but it did not comes up. (stoped at IDEOS logo) .

(Should I wait more at IDEOS logo?)

With the same CM tree, tilal's today's github and Poland stock, I got bootable

update-cm-nightly-signed.zip .

Aorth, are you woking somehting on your github?

BTW: my U8150 is U8150-B .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
He didn't do anything, it's simply the latest and greatest version of @koush's ClockworkMod Recovery, which is a part of the CM source tree. It gets built every time you build CM (look in out/target/product/u8150/). :)

Nothing big going on in my github device tree, nothing "big" in the last few days. I bet we could figure out if you hooked up logcat while booting...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
@ alan

Are you able to build CM now? Mine fails or when I get it to work it seems to reboot whenever it goes to the lockscreen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
Dude... me too, I thought I was doing something stupid. For like two or three days now I can't hardly get it to finish building. I stall at (pastebin here):

... which goes on forever. I can even attach to the process with strace -p and I see that it ain't doin' nothing! Hmmm...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
That as well but also an error about phone.apk?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
Nope, mine compiles just fine; no errors about APKs, just a never ending imgdiff. I must have tried a dozen times today!

Hope do you boo into recovery?!?! I can't find it on google arghhhh I tried reinstalling 7.0 with wipe data and its stuck on ideos screen

EDIT: Finally got it. Guess holding the power button was not letting it boot into recovery. Still not booting though :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Three-0-3:
Thanks Alan;

I'm reading this thread and happen to know CWM included in the CM tree. Thanks.

I try the CWM in my build (with tilal6991's weeky ago github and Poland stock) and

find it does not work for backup at least.

Tilal6991 uploaded the working CWM. so I asked his changes.

I try CWM with yesteryday's alan's github and Poland stock and find it also seems not to

work for installing zip from SD card (at least). It navigates menu, wipe cache and wipe data

write messages and return to menu (but I'm not sure where it wipe).

Both Alan and Tilal have working CWM and I don't.

So I should check my build environment.

Any clue appreciated.

CM 7.1 released...

CyanogenMod 7.1 was just released.

As part of the release I saw this commit: Remove various recovery-only devices from release branch, which removes various device trees from the tree for the "release" branch. device/huawei/ideos is one of those devices which was added early in 2011 but doesn't build an actual ROM (only recovery). When U8150 gets officially merged into the mainline CM they'll remove that device entirely, as our port is based on (and replaces) it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] project2:
i'm not sure, the previous nightly was energy saving too
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GJSmith3rd:
The batch file method posted by Netanalyzer to upgrade to CWM v5.0.2.3 worked for me on Windows Vista SP2 64bit. However It took awhile for me to discovery that boot loader mode just displays the IDEOS logo. Doh!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SyedAnique:
Devs please get this thread and development organized.

It is getting difficult for people to follow.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
Sure... but wait...

It almost sounds cliché, but you're welcome to step up and help. I'm afraid the position pays nothing, and nearly nobody will appreciate your work... but the position's yours if you want it. ;)

Let's try another way: I work a full-time job. I have a family, friends, and a real life to take care of. In the ~3 hours every few days I get to spend hacking on CM7, would you rather I try to fix stuff, or I spend my time organizing and writing nice posts?

Oh, and I'm not a dev... I'm just a user who forked some repositories on github and learned how to build CM source. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SyedAnique:
I am not a developer but I can help in keeping the thread and blog a little organized.

But I will need Tilal assistant as he is the original author.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] typ3z3r0:
While it would be nice, the devs are doing us a huge favor and for free. I'm sure that once they have something stable, they will fix up stuff a bit. At the moment, as you can see from their posts, they're having many issues with not just cooking, but fixing problems by somewhat reverse engineering. :P

P.S. Thanks a lot for your work and dedication, devs.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] psyke83:
Guys,

Some people have reported battery issues with my U8160 port. As a troubleshooting measure, Ideos owners may also want to follow this procedure, as it may us to identify the source of the battery drains.

I have noticed some remarks on a few CyanogenMod bug reports for other devices that setting the wifi sleep policy to "never" can help resolve battery drains (even though it seems counter-intuitive). I'm now using this setting to see if it helps the situation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smashman42:
Hrm, maybe that's why I've never had battery drain probs, due to my former provider's crappy network I relied heavily on WiFi so have always set the WiFi sleep policy to "never" & since changing providers haven't seen any reason to change it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] project2:
how did you do that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntnlzr:
wifi setting press menu button -------advanced ---- set policy to never for disable wifi
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] project2:
there is no menu when i press menu key while i'm at wifi settings
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lazyfai:
Not related, I don't use wifi at all, and the policy is already never from day 0... It is the default as I known.

Battery report - October 12, 2011

October 12, 2011 dumpstate: aorth_u8150_dumpstate_oct12.log

Battery usage:

Usage pattern:

Mostly idle, while I was sleeping, then on my desk and in my pocket at work. 3G on the whole time, Wifi only once I got to work. Little bit of twitter, some market updates, ten minute phone call, read some emails.

Battery life seems to be pretty bad from once I turned Wifi on after ~6 hours of sleep + the time it took me to get to the office. 3G was on the whole time. Wifi sleep policy set to "When screen turns off"... (must be the default, as I never tweak this).

Google map

I use Google Maps from here

Google Maps 5.10.1 ownhere

Download from here. and unzip and put it in C drive so it's easier to find

Simply use adb to push the app into the phone and type in accordingly to the app name:

adb remount

adb push C:\maps5.x.apk /system/app

adb reboot

and it should now be installed.

Pretty cool because you can precache 10 mi area incase you don't want to use data
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hetfield666:
ye, this is too much draining.

actually something strange in those stats: it seems phone activity was the largest power user, while it isn't according to your description...

you should have more entries in that table

October 13, 2011 dumpstate

October 13, 2011 dumpstate: aorth_u8150_dumpstate_oct13.log

Battery usage (crappy picture):

Usage pattern:

Charged 100% before I went to bed. Switched wifi sleep policy to "never". Woke up and it was already at 75%! Not much activity during the day. Wifi and 3G on, some emails and twitter, but mostly just sitting in my pocket/desk at work.

Honestly I think my battery's been worse these last two days during this testing than it usually is!... haha.

Hi, have you tried disabling the find location by network setting?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] King_Rat:
Just tried nightly from page 5...

love the unlock buttons ^^

few bugs...

for a while (until a reboot/clear cache) any app I opened was stuck in portrait...

...prior to that portrait didnt work?!

installed a few apps including gmail, market etc. & rom slowed down to a crawl...

rooted apps then started hanging...

miss the CM features...

but stability is thine apple :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
Page 5?

Page 5? Are you sure it was page 5? hahaha. If you're having problems with rotation it sounds like an old nightly, possibly one using the U8160 kernel sources. Which nightly was this?

The ROM is slow because the phone is slow... :) We can only do so much! But those problems sound like something went wrong. Did you wipe completely before installing?

I still need to find time to port smartassv2 CPU frequency scaling to the common kernel from JoeyJiao... I find it does well for interactivity.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] N-ever:
sorry to ask such noob question

if i am switching between different nighty builds

do i need to wipe everything or i can simply update my phone?

thank you and sorry if my english is poor:p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Try without it. If it doesn't work wipe and try.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] N-ever:
another thing is that

i just tried out the three nighty builds(0818/0926/1008) and found that all qr readers couldn't function properly

is that only my case or it's a known issue?

:p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Alex Masterson:
Sorry, I probably missed something, but you can share a link to 1008?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] N-ever:
it should be 0210:p

update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-02102011-U8150-KANG-signed.zip
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
Short answer: It's usually safe to just flash, but I always "backup" from ROM Manager first.

Long answer: ROM Manager will reboot you into ClockworkMod Recovery and create a backup. This is handy because you can restore from it later if something gets corrupted. ClockworkMod Recovery is nice because it allows you to restore the /data partition (which is where all the user data, apps, settings, etc live), rather than restoring EVERYTHING.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] N-ever:
thank you so much for answering ^_^

one more problem

when i tried the 3 latest nightly builds, i discovered that QR code software were not functioning properly(the camera works fine)...which is not the case of gingerman v7

is that a know issue or it is only my problem??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] King_Rat:
i installed rom from post # 2264 - CLICKY - file called 'update-cm-7-90262011-NIGHTLY-U8150-signed.zip' assume this is more recent than the '08182011' from dev site...

PS - I always wipe completely :cool:

PSS - devs are porting something not designed for U8150 ^^

nothing wrong with ph... other roms work plenty quick enough... IMO

If there is a more recent CM7 rom I'd appreciate the link :rolleyes:

T.I.A
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] N-ever:
and..em.

maybe a bit offtopic

but im wondering, can i restore my user data from 2.3 system to 2.2?

sorry if i have asked at a wrong place...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SyedAnique:
Sorry for being a noob. But which is the latest nightly. And by whom.

Currently I am using nightly 09262011 by tilal.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
No - highly unlikely.

I'm going to release a new nightly by the end of today BTW.

Everything work apart from SD card mounting.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FUSIONdev:
:eek::eek:

MMMM but it's a new bug related to the new kernel? Or it was here since the first build???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
New kernel I think - It was workig before the switch.

It's not too big and should be easily fixable. The SD card works on the phone itself. It's just mounting it on the computer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
OK everyone - here is the NEW CM 7.1 build with Android 2.3.7.

Everything works except mounting USB storage on the computer which I have removed.

The link - here
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FUSIONdev:
I don't know if it's related, but I had some problems with your CWM build... it mounted the sd card as cd rom (:confused:) so in read only mode.

Sorry, but I'm REALLY new to cyano and CWM

Now I'm downloading the new nightly, let's test it...... :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Yeah - the CWM uses the same kernel so same problems.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gino.d:
just installed ok, very fast I'll say

noticed that in device manager (win7) under other devices are appearing 4 Ideos devices and can't install any drivers. Hope this helps.

That's interesting. I''ll keep working on it - I've only tested in Ubuntu.

Unfortunately, I can no longer hold on shortcuts in Zeam launcher in order to move them. Instead, it just clicks on shortcuts, executing the application.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RaF_83:
I red it, but I dont get your point
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Really? Well that's strange - Did you wipe data?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] typ3z3r0:
Yes. I have also tried rebooting twice. I managed to drag one of the shortcuts out of the "dock" and onto the desktop, but cannot seem to do it again... It was extremely dodgy when I did so and I was in fact trying to delete it instead of move it. Have you tried holding onto shortcuts in the default launcher in order to move or delete them?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
BTW - do you have a Melfas or Synaptics screen? Because it works fine for me.

Entering the code Alan put on http://mjanja.co.ke/2011/08/does-your-huawei-u8150-support-multi-touch-gestures/ does not work... Should this output from getevent be correct? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1051148/getevent.jpg

Ok. I managed to move the shortcut on the desktop into the trash bin to delete it, but I had to hold down with my thumb and I had to quickly swipe to get it into the recycle bin, which was unusual. Using my thumb on icons in the dock does not seem to work. I also feel that image on the screen is odd. E.g. the music player widget shadow underneath of it is somewhat jagged in two spots and the rotary revamped lock screen is somewhat jagged/pixelated on top.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
Good to see you got it working - you seem to have a synaptic screen - the same as me so you shouldn't have any more problems.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
Yep, that key combination only works on stock ROMs. I didn't realize that, but I've seen limitations like that before so I'm not surprised. The getevent method is better, but requires root (which is why I didn't use it on that blog post). Maybe I'll make a note of it on that post... thanks. :)

Hmm... yes. The U8150 doesn't have a GPU, so we've been playing with using lighter graphics modes in order to speed up the UI as well as save RAM. We'll have to weigh the pros and cons to see if we want lighter/faster or prettier... or maybe those tweaks don't actually help. I dunno yet, too soon to tell.

Nope. You need the U8120 port... I think there are two, one by tas0s and one by anryl. Just google it, my friend. :)

Yep, I noticed that too. I opened an issue in my github kernel repo about it (here). My kernel uses the "smartass" governor as the default. It's smarter than "ondemand" and contains ideas from "interactive".
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SyedAnique:
I thought U8150 had a gpu but it did not had a driver to use it.:confused:

Either way it doesn't matter. The net result is the same - we don't have gpu rendering

Melfas multi touch

I was just poking around in the touchscreen drivers for the "new" kernel source and I noticed this...

The left is the "new" kernel source we found from JoeyJiao a few weeks ago (see my repo here), and the right is the official U8150 kernel source from Huawei (my repo here).

It looks like there's multi-touch code in the melfas driver in this newer source which wasn't in our U8150 source... Any melfas users out there? Try to pinch-to-zoom in ADW Launcher or LauncherPro (or even the stock web browser)... does it work? I don't have a device with a melfas so I can't test.

See the source code here for yourself: drivers/input/touchscreen/melfas_i2c_ts.c

Can the phone partition be resized.

Because their is plenty of space in system. if we resize it we can give it apps or better use it as swap.

You can use titanium backup to see how much unused space we have in system.
