any news?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zellkyo:
well recently EstebanSannin released Dronix 0.5.4 Sanmium Reloaded
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drayln:
Hi everyone,

First let me say this is my first attempt at doing anything with a phone. I have a IDEOS U8150-D from 2 Degrees in New Zealand. I have been trying to install the DroniX 0.5 for 2 days now but I am having issues. I will list what i have done thus far.

1. used Z4 to root my phone

2.rebooted phone into bootloader and ran the windows installer from ultrajack 6.2.2

3.rebooted phone into recovery mode and and did a nand backup

4.did wipe all app/data

5. installed from sdcard droniX 0.5 zip from sdcard root

the problem is the multi touch isnt working and when i try to use no frills to change the CPU speed to any setting above 710mhz i get an error stating "unclean shut values not applied" and a force reboot. I have also tried installing the 729mhz kernal zip but it just looped into a reboot.

The multi touch and the speed increase in the main reason I wish to change the iOS. Any help is appriecated. It looks (after much forum reading) like that droniX is the fastest and most stable iOS, would really like to have it working.

Thank you very much.

Your phone doesn't overclock above 710 - Few work perfectly at 748 MHz

About multitouch - on your dialer input *#*#2846579#*#* in your dialpad then select projectmenu > veneer information query > apparatus type query. then look for melfas or synaptics indicated... if your melfas screen then theres no multitouch support for that. your phone should be synaptics for multitouch to work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drayln:
Thank you very much for the help. Sigh ..it is melfas-touchscreen.Ver23. I guess this means my phone will never be able to support multi touch? I can run at 710mhz for awhile but then phone reboots. Thanks again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] seanspotatobusiness:
I'm a bit confused about how to install Dronix at all. I've installed ClockworkMod ROM Manager from the Android Market and told it to install dronix_0.4.zip. It reboots to a menu where I have four options:

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

I don't think any of those are what I'm looking for. If I choose reboot system now, I just get back into the phone without the ROM changing.

Edit: Question answered in this post, below...

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

Where exactly is "the very first edited install post"? I've gone through seven pages of posts and not found an explanation. Is it the 8th page? The 20th? It's no wonder people haven't read it. I'm sure you're not referring to the first post in this thread because the instructions there consist of a single sentence which seems to assume familiarity with the process.

Edit: I still don't know where the instruction post is but I figured things out with information from elsewhere and with a bit of risky guessing.

The method is:

0. Root the phone if you haven't done so already (information on this is easy to come by - I used a program called z4root. Rooting your phone voids your warranty. There's no way around it. You should also sync your contacts with Google so you get them back when this is over.

1. Install ClockworkMod ROM Manager.

2. Open ClockworkMod ROM Manager and select the first option, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".

3. You are presented with a disorganised list of phones. Somewhere in there is Huwei Ideos. Find it and select it and then follow the on-screen prompts.

4. Download your desired Dronix version and any cores you wish to install and place them on your SD card.

5. Open ClockworkMod ROM Manager and select 'Install ROM from SD card'

6. Browse to the location of your ROM and select it.

7. Select all the data-wiping options and follow the on-screen prompts. You phone will restart and will take a while (about 10 minutes) to complete the process.

8. If you're satisfied with and overclock limited to 648 MHz then just go into "No Frills CPU Controller" and set it up (lowest value as the lowest and highest value as the highest; set at boot). If you want to try higher overclocks then follow the process again from step 5 (you will need to install ClockworkMod ROM Manager again but don't need to repeat step 2). This time browse to the location of the overclocking kernel which you want to be able to use and follow the on-screen prompts as before.

9. Once satisfied, re-install all your apps. Synchronise with Google to get your contacts back. You will need to reinstall No Frills CPU Controller because it will be gone now. Set it to use the maximum core speed as maximum. Beware that you're doing this at your own risk. Overclocking a processor beyond what it can handle with result in instability and may brick the phone so you can't reverse the procedure.

0.5.4 Samnium Standard

0.5.4 Samnium Standard successfully installed :p, still without problems, pretty stable, isn't as fast as expected, but that’s why there will be a fast version of 0.5.4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] King_Rat:
:lol: so it wasn't there ^^ you put it there & it worked :p

paint a straight line :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
In Dronix 0.5.4 there is nothing :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] King_Rat:
Works in Samnium 0.5.4 ^^ give it 'rw-r--r--' permissions ;)

0.5.4 has some nice features over 0.5... doesn't lag as much in applications<management & is a little faster when using rom manager too...

theme options are kewl (more selections for battery icon needed)

ability to turn off data icon is a god send...

thanks to estebanSannin for this gr8 rom ^^
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drayln:
Hi guys. I am having a few issues and would like to ask you guys how to proceed. I installed DroniX 0.5 (now upgrading to 0.5.4) and now when i use camera I get a msg saying SD card in use. Also i did some recording with the sound recorder but when i click the Recordings folder from settings to access them the app force closes. I have tried to uninstall some of the apps that came loaded in DroniX as well with ES FIle explorer (my phone is rooted), but i get the msg on all of them that the app cant be deleted. The last thing has already been talked about previously through this post and the multi touch thread as well but just want to make sure it is final. I have the melfas touch screen, does this mean no multi touch forever? Is anyone working on it in the future maybe? Thank you guys for the awesome information and thanks for this great ROM.

UPdate..Installed 0.5.4 but just black screen when phone starts up. Dropped zip form link above on the SD card and installed. All installed with no issues but when phone finished the installation of the ROM and reboots it says DroniX system starting screen then goes black screen and does nothing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
I love Samnium 0.5.4 ... Its awesome ... But the problem is that I copied bootanimation.zip to /data/local and /system/media but boot animation does not change on startup :confused:

Does your bootanimation change?

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

Which recovery do you have? and you can never use multitouch because melfas does not support multitouch ... and have you installed the rom after wiping your data and cache?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drayln:
I used ultrajack with recovery 6.2.2 downloaded from ....whirlpool.net.au/wiki/huawei_u8150. I did the wipe yes. I have now tried to recover back to the orginal ROM but it seems my backup did not work. I need to find the stock ROM for New Zealand 2degrees. If anyone has a link to that stock ROM would be great. I have spent like last 3 hours looking for it. It is unfortunate that i got a melfas screen. Hopefully a Dev will try to put out a ROM for it sometime to support the multi touch. Main reason I did a custom ROM was for mutli touch and to OC the processor to make it run games better(NES.EMU). Thank you guys for all the awesome help.

UPDATE: I got the 0.5.4 to install cleanly. Still looking for a stock NZ ROM though for a back up. I have 2 but neither of them will allow me to connect to mobile network. I have tried setting the networks to 2degrees 2g and 3g and also tried to use auto setting as well but can not access my data on neither of the "stock" ROMS i have found. I still have a FC on the sound recorder that is included with DroniX 0.5.4 that i had before on 0.5. When you use settings to access the recorded file the app force closes. Also cant overclock more than 691mhz. At 710 phone will FC apps. At 729 or 748 the phone auto reboots as soon as the OC is applied. With this and the melfas screen i am beginning to regret the $200NZ that i paid for this phone 3 months ago. Any ideas guys?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
Sadly your phone does not support OC more than 691 and it also does not support multitouch ... I got FC problem sometime ago and then I formatted my SDCard and then wiped data and installed the ROM and everything worked perfect after that ... I think you should also give it a try ... Its better that you should install Dronix 0.4 than installing you stock ROM ... At least it will have OC upto 691 :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ntnlzr:
flash stock rom first i'd same problem

stock rom here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1142381&highlight=u8150+stock
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drayln:
Thanks for the helps guys. I looked at the stock ROMS there. I didnt see one for NZ but I do have the AU one already. I have droniX 0.5.4 up and running atm. OC'ed to 691mhz. For the first time the "cloud" actually sent all my apps and contacts back to my phone (have worked with ROMs about 7 times now and this was first time it did that). I am concerned that the stock ROMs will not let me connect to my mobile network (however wifi works fine). Maybe i had something off in a setting after the flash? I just wanted it for a backup in case I need to return the phone for any reason. Phone is rooted with z4Root. One last question for a noob at this please. If you "brick" your phone does that mean you will not be able to format your SD card and do the dload folder with UPDATE.APP and let the phone reboot and reload the ROM? The stock ROM i got now is HUAWEI U8150 V100R001C191B822. Thanks again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
As far as I have heard the bricked phone can't be brought back to life .. If anyone knows the reason kindly explain.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] King_Rat:
Yup ^^ /data/local <<= paste bootanimation.zip & rw-r--r-- permissions for the file...

worked in 0.5 makes sense it does same in 0.5.4 ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sajidumer91:
Awesome

Very nice rom i love it.

Huawei ideos u-8150

I recommend others to download it!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
No dude .. In 0.5 it did worked but in 0.5.4 it doesn't work :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zellkyo:
i am using 0.5.4

try putting it in system/media

i can confirm that its working because i just installed the nexus boot animation ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
can you give me the link to that bootanimation? and tell me which file explorer did you use

Update: Got it! I always rebooted the phone ... I think it was because of this my boot animation did not changed ... This time I shut down the phone and then started it again and Voila! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
Created a tutorial Text plus Video for all those who want to change the default boot animation ... See it here

Ive installed 0.5.4 on my phone but its still running the older marketplace. Is there a way of updating it? I know when I was running 0.4 it updated to the 3.1.3 or whichever version it was automatically.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
Yes I am using CWM recovery version 4

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

I prefer this older market version because the new one have some bugs like it show 22000 results but browses hardly 20 items in market.

Hey does any one have this problem in 0.5.4 ... That live wallpaper picker option does not appear in wallpaper menu?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] King_Rat:
nope ^^ ;) :D :cool:

I suggest using root explorer & deleting both .apk's (picker & stock live walls) from **system/app** reboot into recovery & clear cache... then copy & paste 'LiveWallpapersPicker.apk' back into **system/app** + give it same permissions as other files **rw-r--r--** ...now install a live wallpaper & reboot ph... should be good to go ^^

PS - I use wall paper clock... & nexus revamped as my LWP's
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
OK I will try doing that :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] CometOS:
Hey guys!

Running 0.5.4 Final. I absolutely adore the rom, and will be sticking with Dronix for the life of my phone. Fast, looks nice, and just works.

My question is in regards to the latest google maps which came with the rom. It appears to be using the MapsGL animations which, for me at least, severely lag my u8150 when panning around compared to before. Does anyone experience this? It's really my only gripe, but a hefty one as I use maps almost every day.

Is it possible to install an older Maps apk? I realize I'd probably need to uninstall the newest version first, which I would certainly do.

I really appreciate everything, I love my phone more than ever, thanks to Dronix!

*Edit Please ignore my request for a solution, I went ahead and found an older APK (4.6) and it's overwritten the newer version.

I'm will wondering if this issue with 5.10.1 plagues other 8150 owners, however...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zeekhopri:
what is the difference between ideos u8150-B and u8150-D and which is better and both are multitouch or not ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drayln:
The U8150-d is only multi touch if it is not a melfas screen type. Not sure of the differences between the B and D though.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kelzul:

@Kelzul

I have provided the official download link and also a link from which you can download 0.5.4 fast ... Plus I also had live wallpaper problem which didn't get solved because I was unable to find the livewallpaperpicker.apk file. So I reverted back to Dronix 0.5.3
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kelzul:
thanks pakistanish, still looking for the download link for 5.0.4 fast, cant seem to find it.. is 0.5.3 more stable than .4?

---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

i found this website, official Italian website for dronix,

http://www.myppc.it/web/community/viewtopic.php?f=126&t=6701

saw this link on the link pakistanish posted, and since i cant speak Italian i had to use txt translator,(100 characters/ translation,got to find much better translator :D) and found out that dronix 0.5.4 fast is still not out, any ideas when will it be released??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] King_Rat:
Another way that may work... go back to a rom that live wallpaper works on... make a back up with Titanium back up... flash new rom... install titanium back up... using 'root explorer', delete livewallpaperpicker.apk... reboot into recovery & clear cache... now using TBU restore livewallpaperpicker... reboot & it might be there...

I did something along those lines & got it working
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kelzul:
@king_rat

i tried your method but the problem is i cant even delete the livewallpaper.apk file, tried to uninstall and deleting, still no use...i should probably give up on this, i hope they fix this on the next update on dronix....but thanks anyway King_rat

...any release dates on dronix 0.5.4 fast??? or is it already out? any links????
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kelzul:
am i the only one that have this kind of problem, i downloaded dronix 0.5.4 like 5 times on different "official link" so you can imagine how many times i flashed my phone, and every single rom i downloaded had the same build number: dronix samnium 0.5.2 instead of 0.5.4, so any care to help, is there something i did wrong, im pretty sure its not the flashing of roms because up till now my phone is not broken, someday it might if i dont find the right dronix 0.5.4....help plss, much appreciated..thanks...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kelzul:
i found solution for not having live wallpaper on dronix 0.5.4, since i cant delete livewallpaperpicker.apk on root exlorer used my computer to delete it, and i took livewallpaper.apk and livewallpaperpicker.apk on dronix 0.5 and pasted it on dronix 0.5.4 then zipped it again and it works,..:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pakistanish:
From where do you see this information?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] King_Rat:
congratz on fixin issue...

sounds like you didnt give root explorer read/write permissions when in /system/app folder ^^ I can delete anything with it :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kelzul:
umm, from my phone, settings/about phone/build number, i already edited the build number to 0.5.4 but it doesnt change the fact that its still 0.5.2

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

yea, that's why im so noob, i don't know how to give read/write permissions, what kind of root explorer you using? it would be alot more easier if i had that, i'm using astro xplorer btw...but thanks anyway i got the idea from you,

hi everyone

im new to this thread

getting a u8150 and this rom looks very good

seems to be everything is working in the latest version apart from live wallpaper maybe?

am i correct in saying that?

everything else working fine?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kelzul:
everything works perfect, even livewallpapers, king_rat found a great solution to that, found my own aswell, works perfectly, dronix is the best rom for u8150
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mayurh:
thanks thats great news

any idea if this rom have a2sd enabled? with ext 4 support?

another nice thing would be a notification power control widget?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Reaper82:
I am loving Dronix 0.5.4. I found 0.5.2 unstable for some reason but this is running great. A vast improvement over 0.4. Love the new Swype too it is smoother with this ROM.

Battery is lasting 2-3 days with moderate use. Link2sd works a treat. So far not one fault.

Keep up the good work devs.

I've been using 0.53 for awhile and it seems very stable. Just wonder if there is a need to upgrade to 0.54?
